The Town is also requesting Dr. Phillips to review the recommendations provided by the Town of Cape Vincent, the New York State Department of Public Service and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Town and agency recommendations pertaining to health and adverse noise impacts in those reviews are:

Form RFIF (2/12/13) 1. Town of Cape Vincent review of PSS: 1. The Town recommends that as the discussion of the adverse impact of sound goes forward, that BP refrain from the human suggestibility argument (e.g., complaints are psychosomatic). [p.32] 2. Regarding the design goal, and regardless of BP's biased view on infrasound, the Town requests that in addition to the normal noise impact predictions based on existing Town law, e.g., 35 dBA, that another scenario be included for the record based on 33.5 dBA to provide an interim measure of protection from infrasound until such time as further study resolves the issue to everyone's satisfaction. [p.33] 3. BP should provide a comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature, including the aforementioned papers, to describe the negative health impacts associated with sleep disturbance regardless of the cause, and then to also assess the potential for sleep disruptions, and other direct and indirect health effects. [p.33]

4. the Town requests that the issue of sleep interference be reinserted back in the list of issues considered in Exhibit 19. [p.34] 2. New York State Department of Public Service review of PSS: 1. Noise and infrasound, shadow flicker, shadows, land value impacts should be considered as potentially having impacts on existing or potential future land uses. [p.8] 2. Noise studies should be conducted pursuant to Town of Cape Vincent Zoning Law Section 6.7 and any noise mitigation plans must be submitted along with the application. [p.16] 3. The PSS in section 2.15 does not specifically address any intent to study or otherwise address several items listed in the regulations at 16 NYCRR 1001.15(e) including audible frequency noise, low-frequency noise, and shadow flicker. The PSS does not specifically address any intent to study or otherwise address low-frequency noise or vibration. Staff advises that the applicant should propose a scope of studies to demonstrate a responsible approach to analyzing potential health impacts of lowfrequency sound and vibration, including a thorough literature review, analysis of background conditions, report on the current known state of scientific analysis ongoing at the time of application, and provide an analysis of potential project effects in the project study area. Original study analyzing reported problems of lowfrequency or infrasound and relation of problem locations to operating wind energy projects is recommended, including reporting on potential health effects. [p.25] 3. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation review of PSS: 1. "Without the proper knowledge of where and at what scale a project is to take place, an assessment of the potential adverse impacts or benefits would hold little value on behalf of the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state with regard to the overall economic and social well being of the people, their families, visitors, or tourists to this region."[p.18]

INTERVENOR REQUEST FORM

Dr. Carl V. Phillips

2. The DEC recommend including information from studies that have been and are being conducted at the nearby Canadian wind power project on Wolfe Island which has similar social, economic, and environmental conditions as Cape Vincent, NY. It is recommended that this information also be used to assess the potential cumulative impacts that may affect the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state and their overall economic and social well being [p.39, NOTE: Queens University, Kingston, ON initiated a health study to examine health issues related to living in close association with industrial wind turbines.] Finally, the Town requests that Dr. Phillips also review the Article 10 rules from Exhibit 19 regarding requirements for health assessments associated with wind turbine noise and make any recommendations necessary to improve health assessments. The rules currently state: "(k) An evaluation of the following potential community noise impacts: hearing damage (as addressed by applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards); indoor and outdoor speech interference; interference in the use of outdoor public facilities and areas; community complaint potential; the potential for structural damage; and the potential for interference with technological, industrial or medical activities that are sensitive to vibration or infrasound." The Town has concerns that these rules are inadequate, incomplete and do not cover the current state of knowledge regarding wind turbine noise effects on human health. 6(b) For all expert witnesses, consultants, attorneys, or others to be employed, provide a detailed basis for the fees requested, including hourly fee, wage rate, and expenses: Hourly Rates $250 Prepare Review & Report (30hrs) $7,500 Stipulation Conference (24hrs) $6,000 Travel (2 days) $5,050 Total: $18,550 6(c) For all expert witnesses, consultants, attorneys, or others to be employed during the Pre-Application Stage, provide a detailed statement specifying how such services and expenses will make an effective contribution to review of the Preliminary Scoping Statement and the development of an adequate scope of appropriate studies for the application to be submitted and thereby provide early and effective public involvement: There may be a number of health issues related to wind turbine operation that are missing from the list in the Exhibit 19 rules. There were also a number of substantive issues that were exposed by DEC and DPS staff reviews. Most of the concerns about annoyance, sleep problems and other health effects are all directly related to excessive wind turbine noise on surrounding property, residences and people. It is important that this issue gets a comprehensive review by Department of Public Service and the Siting Board. To do that requires a complete and comprehensive scoping of the noise issue itself. In spite of the relatively detailed rules related to noise in Exhibit 19, the comments from the Town and Department of Public Service suggest a number of ways to expand and improve the study design for the turbine noise issue.

Form RFIF (2/12/13) Dr. Phillips' review of BP's PSS as well as the agency reviews should result in a more complete listing of health issues that will ultimately improve the record and BP's formal application of potential adverse health risks. 6(d) For all expert witnesses, consultants, attorneys, or others to be employed during the Application Stage, provide a detailed statement specifying how such services and expenses will contribute to the compilation of a complete record as to the appropriateness of the site and facility and will facilitate broad participation in the proceeding. na 7(a) For any study to be performed, a description of the purpose of the study: na 7(b) For any study to be performed, a description of the methodology and a statement of the rationale supporting the methodology: na 7(c) For any study to be performed pursuant to any proposed methodology that is new or original, explaining why pre-existing methodologies are insufficient or inappropriate: na 7(d) For any study to be performed, provide a description of the timing for completion of the study and a statement of the rationale supporting the timing proposed: na 8(a) For any study to be performed, a statement as to the result of any effort made to encourage the applicant to perform the proposed studies or evaluations and the reason it is believed that an independent study is necessary: na 9 For all expert witnesses, consultants, attorneys, or others to be employed, provide a copy of any contract or agreement or proposed contract or agreement with each such expert witness, consultant, attorney, or other person. 10 Provide a statement of any additional justification for the funding request not already addressed above:

My professional background/credentials I earned a PhD in public policy (with an emphasis on economics-based decision making) from Harvard University, completing a dissertation on environmental policy and economics. I then completed the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Research postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan. Later I did a second fellowship in philosophy of science at the University of Minnesota. Before I returned to school for my PhD and began my career in public health science, I worked in consulting, primarily analyzing energy and environmental policy issues. Prior to that I earned a Masters in Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and summa cum laude undergraduate degrees in math and history from Ohio State University. I spent most of my career as a professor of public health. I currently direct an independent academic-style research institute (a continuation of my university research lab) and consultancy. During my career as a professor, I was on the faculty of the schools of public health at University of Minnesota, University of Texas, and University of Alberta, the evidence based medicine program at University of Texas medical school, the University of Alberta medical school, and Harvards Kennedy School of Government. My teaching focused on two subjects: how to properly analyze epidemiologic data and how to make optimal public policy decisions based on scientific evidence. This subject matter, as important as it is, is generally overlooked in health science and medical education, and students frequently reported that my teaching clarified their understanding of epidemiology, science more generally, and science-based policy decision making for the first time in their educational careers. My research during my academic career, and continuing in my private institute, has emphasized epidemiologic methods, environmental health, science- and ethics-based policy making, the nature and quality of peer review, and tobacco harm reduction. My work on epidemiologic methods focuses on recognizing and quantifying uncertainty, recognizing and correcting for biased analyses, and translating statistical results into decision-relevant information. My first contributions in the area of epidemiology methods won several awards in the early 2000s and launched a new area of inquiry in the field. I have also done extensive research and writing about health communication. Epidemiology is the study of actual health outcomes in people, and thus is the only science that can directly inform us about actual health risks from real-world exposures. Related biological and physical sciences often provide useful information about health risks, but it is often the case that real-world exposures and the human body and mind are so complex that we observe results that are different from what was predicted. My background in epidemiology methods, scientific epistemology, and optimal policy decision-making is the background that is needed for being able to evaluate bodies of health science literature and assess their worldly implications. Most people who work in or around epidemiology learn only how to conduct particular types of studies or how to technically interpret individual study conclusions in the simplest possible way, which does not provide the ability to sort out complicated controversies. My study and research have focused on the epistemology of epidemiology, how to understand what the available evidence tells us. My additional background in environmental economics and environmental health, with an emphasis on energy policy, provides important subject-matter literacy for my studies related to wind turbines. I have worked on topic of the health effects of wind turbines for three years, studying the available health research and related background science, health reports, and testimony and analysis from industry, government, and independent scientists, as well as contributing my own analysis and designing a new field study (which has not been carried out due to lack of available funding). Some of my analysis appears in my 2011 journal article in the Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, Properly Interpreting the Epidemiologic Evidence About the Health Effects of Industrial Wind Turbines on Nearby Residents, and the key content of that paper appears in this report.

Why 18? It is the count of years from my dissertation until this year (inclusive), which seems like a good rule of thumb for allowing quantity while emphasizing quality. Why the heterodox categories? Because if one writes about fundamental flaws in publication standards and the review process in the field and call for radical reform, it is not intellectually honest to observe the associated categories when it is a matter personal convenience.
