The University of North Texas, Denton County, proposes to install three 100-kilowatt wind turbines (Northwind 100) within an existing water retention basin in the vicinity of athletic practice fields and a new football stadium on their campus in the town of Denton (Denton County), Texas. The turbine towers would be 121 feet tall, and with an approximate 35-foot blade length, the maximum height of the structure would be 156 feet. The proposed site is approximately 125 feet from a paved road, 1,000 feet from a single home, and 1,500 feet from the nearest residential neighborhood.
