    In the case of the Macintyre wind farm the lease on the property owners land is for 30 years after which it will be renegotiated for the next 30. If they can't come to an agreement then Acciona undertakes to remove the above ground part of the turbine. The foundation was less clear, at least one landholder was happy for it to stay there covered with some better quality soil than the original traprock. Most land owners also agreed that the access roads could stay so long as any erosion problems were remedied.
