Yes, adjacent landowners should be compensated: "A. Wind energy facilities shall lease and distribute royalties to all landowners with adjacent properties within a radius of one thousand eight hundred (1,800) feet of the base of any wind turbine in operation. Royalties shall be paid at an equal rate to all qualifying landowners within the radius, regardless of whether their property is directly used for wind turbine construction. If a property located within the radius is partitioned, subdivided, or transferred, the original royalty allocated to that property shall be divided in an amount proportional to the amount of each owner's property that lies within the radius, calculated as a fraction of the total original property area within the radius."
