10/27/2011 – In February 2011, a Notice of Proposed Construction was filed for seven 411 foot tall wind turbines at Camp Rilea, 9 miles NNW of Seaside Airport, and on October 27 the FAA issued a determination that the project exceeds obstruction standards, due to the towers' height (411' AGL) and proximity to Astoria Airport (3.44 nm).

The next step is an FAA aeronautical study, now underway. Input from airspace users is part of this process — to see details and submit comments, go to the FAA obstruction study page for this project.
