Birding groups and environmentalists are heralding the state's decision this week to reject a request to certify construction of a wind turbine project planned for Lake Erie in 2018. Officials at the Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. said they plan to file updated documents in a few weeks that they expect will be approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board.
