Casper Wind Farm Decommissioning Update
As part of ongoing decommissioning activities at the Casper Wind Farm in Natrona County, Chevron and its contractor plan to use energetic felling techniques, including controlled explosives, to remove select wind turbine towers beginning approximately 72 hours from this notice.
This notice is being issued on Friday, August 21 to provide stakeholders with adequate review time. The 72-hour notification period will begin on the next business day, Monday, August 24, at 8:00 a.m.
The use of energetic felling is a planned part of the wind turbine removal process.
What neighbors may notice:
- A brief, loud noise at the time of tower felling.
- Temporary vibration that may be felt in areas near the project site.
- Increased activity from construction equipment, cranes, trucks, and work crews supporting decommissioning activities.
- Traffic associated with project work along local routes, including Stonewood Street and Sunburst Drive.
The activity is being carried out under established safety procedures and work controls. Chevron and its contractors have implemented safety and environmental measures that include trained on-site personnel, traffic controls where warranted, dust management practices, fire prevention protocols, and other site-specific safeguards.
We appreciate the community’s patience as this work progresses. Residents with questions or concerns may contact the project team through the community hotline at 855-285-9595 or visit the project website at casperwindfarmdecommissioning.com.
