PBR regulatory process must include adjoining counties
 

All adjacent counties and city governmental administrations must receive formal written notification of a PBR Notice of Intent (Code of Virginia Article 5 Small Renewable Energy Projects 10.1-1197.6 B1) submitted in an adjoining county within a designated time period from the date of Notice of Intent for any wind turbine project..

All counties and governmental jurisdictions impacted by analyses as required by PBR Guidance DEQ Section II Methodology 9VAC 15-40 including view shed and scenic resources must be included and required in writing to approve or disapprove of the project as part of the regulatory process.

Wind turbine projects severly impact across county and city governmental boundaries.
