Boston Herald:  3/14/10 'Feds name Cape Wind panel: Five-member group will 
assess project's  impact on historic sites' 
by Christine McConville  
A federal panel charged with assessing Cape  Wind's impact on dozens of 
historic sites includes an architect, an  anthropologist and a Texan who runs 
one of the nation's largest beer  distributors. 
Last week, the Advisory Council on Historic  Preservation identified a 
five-member Cape Wind review panel, as a final federal  ruling on the 
controversial offshore wind farm appears on the  horizon. 
John L. Nau II, CEO of Houston-based Silver  Eagle Distributors, is the 
chairman of the group. The other members are  Maryland-based anthropologist 
Julie King; John Berrey, chairman of the Quapaw  Tribe of Oklahoma; Stephen 
Ayers, whose architect of the capitol post makes him  responsible for 
maintaining the U.S. Supreme Court and Library of Congress  buildings; and Linda 
Lawton, director of the federal Department of  Transportation's Office of 
Safety, Energy and  Environment. 
Together they'll scrutinize the impact of Cape  Wind, whose 440-foot-high 
turbines would cover 24 miles of federal waters within  view of historic 
properties such as the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis and  Nantucket's historic 
district. 
First proposed nine years ago, Cape Wind would be the  nation's first 
offshore wind energy project.  
The plan faces strong opposition from many  factions, including two 
American Indian tribes who say the 130 turbines will  harm culturally significant 
waters that cover ancient burial  grounds. 
Earlier this month, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken  Salazar determined that 
the tribes and developer Cape Wind Associates could not  reach a compromise, 
and asked the independent advisory council, whose job is  protect the 
nation's historic resources, to weigh  in. 
The new group will be in Barnstable on March 22  to hear more about the 
project's potential impacts on Nantucket Sound and other  areas. The panel will 
issue its report to Salazar by April 14.  [end] 
Thank You,
