Anemometer Towers marking legislation sails out of Committee
By Jason | February 22, 2010
This morning in the House Commerce Committee we had further discussion on HB 1155 which will work towards making the anemometer (wind metering) towers more visible for crop duster pilots.
Members of the House Commerce Committee have been very gracious and allowed the bill to be reconsidered and up for discussion again because all parties involved managed to come out with a compromise. I brought forward the compromise in the form of a hoghouse amendment. HB 1155 was approved unanimous and placed on the consent calendar (which means it has solid support).
Provisions of the amendment require the following:
- top one third of the tower must be painted with orange and white bands
- marker balls must be placed on the guy wires evenly spaced
- the footprint around the anchors must be contrasting with the surrounding space
- plastic sleeves must be placed on the guy wires near the anchors on the ground
