DAYTON - Portland General Electric, which begins construction of the new Tucannon River Wind Farm next month, has an- nounced that hunting will be prohibited within the wind farm boundaries during the construction period.
According to company spokesperson Brianne Hy- der, the restriction will begin September 1, and will be lifted on June 1, 2015, upon completion of the project.
Hyder told The Times that, once the wind farm is in operation, PGE expects to landowners within the proj- ect boundaries to establish a hunting program similar to the one in place within the Hopkins Ridge and Marengo I and II wind projects.
Signs are being posted along the project boundaries during August. The project is located within Game Management Unit 149.
