Wind Power Allocation Block

To communicate the status of land areas to those applying for wind power development rights in Ontario. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

SPSTPOLY Abstract Spatial Single-Tessellating-Polygon User Object.
 
One and only one polygon forms a single object. Polygons within a concrete sub class cover all space and do not overlap.

An example of a sub class of this class is forest stands as currently modeled in the FRI. Another example would be land tenure. This class is useful in ensuring that all land is accounted for and covered by some categorization. Methods on this class ensure that adding a new object, modifies the objects that this new object overlaps

Additional Time Period Information: Project ongoing, date range will be updated as project continues Data is collected on an on-going basis therefore the time period 'end date' may be more recent than indicated above.
