Central San Solar Panel Array

Central San Solar Panel Array

CENTRAL SAN PROPOSES CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION A 1.75 MEGAWATT SOLAR PANEL ARRAY ON APPROXIMATELY 8.2 ACRES OF A 48-ACRE PARCEL AT 4451 BLUM ROAD IN UNINCOPORATED MARTINEZ (APN 159-140-042-7), WHICH IS ALREADY OWNED BY CENTRAL SAN, AND IS REFERRED TO AS THE “LAGISS PARCEL.” THE PROPOSED SOLAR PANEL ARRAY WOULD BE ACCESSED FROM THE NORTHERN END OF BLUM ROAD VIA EXTENSION OF AN EXISTING PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. THE PROPOSED SOLAR PANEL ARRAY WOULD BE ENCIRCLED BY A SERVICE ROAD AND PERIMETER FENCE. THE EXISTING SURFACE AREA TO BE COVERED BY THE PROPOSED GROUND-MOUNTED SOLAR PANEL MODULES IS APPROXIMATELY 2.5 ACRES. COMBINED, SOLAR PANEL MODULES TOGETHER WITH THE SERVICE ROAD AND DRIVEWAY, THE AREA COVERED IS APPROXIMATELY 4.0 ACRES OF THE 8.2 ACRES. THE REMAINDER (4.2 ACRES) IS GENERALLY RETENTION BASINS OR AISLE SPACE BETWEEN ROWS OF PANELS, WITH ONLY MINOR AREA BEING USED FOR INVERTERS; PANELBOARDS; MAIN PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) SWITCHBOARD; STEP-DOWN, PAD-MOUNTED TRANSFORMER; AND, INTERTIE SWITCHGEAR.
