Document Title: California State Prison Solano Solar Project
Document Type: MND - Mitigated Negative Declaration
Received: 9/19/2018

Document Description: The proposed project is a solar PV power generation system to be located on approx +/- 58.2-acre of land at the address of 2100 Peabody Rd, Vacaville, CA 95696 which is part of the larger state-owned Solano State Prison facility. The ground-mount and carport solar arrays would convert sunlight to direct current electrical power which would then be converted to alternating current (AC) by string inverters before being delivered to the PG&E electrical system. The total system size is expected to be approx 5.0 megawatts (AC), subject to final design and site optimization. The proposed project is planned to occupy vacant areas and existing parking lots which have been determined to be suitable for the planned solar PV arrays. The project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional water and other biological features identified during the environmental studies completed to date.
