Soil Studies. <br /> a.Provide proof that the site's soil conditions meet the minimum standards as <br /> specified by the tower turbine manufacturer. <br /> b. Formal site soil analyses are not necessary or required for residential <br /> scale turbines if they are designed to withstand worst case scenario soil <br /> conditions. <br /> c.For turbines greater than twenty (20kW) kilowatts, a Structural Engineer's <br /> seal will be required as well as a full soil analysis of the site. <br /> 16. Liability Insurance. <br /> a.Proof of liability insurance for a duration of not less than 24 months from <br /> the estimated completion date of construction of the Wind Energy <br /> System, covering loss or damage to persons or property occasioned by <br /> failure of the facility, shall be provided, and updated proof shall be <br /> provided annually thereafter. <br /> 17.
