Document Description
This proposed project involves the development of approximately 885
acres of undeveloped land into a photovoltaic (PV) solar power facility which includes the
installation of PV solar panels, battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities, and
interconnection facilities, including a high voltage substation, switch station, and interconnection
to the existing SMUD transmission system.
The Project will result in impacts to 0.75 acres of burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) habitat
including temporary impacts to 0.5 acres; the Project will permanently remove 0.25 acres of
Burrowing owl habitat. The project is expected to result in incidental take of burrowing owl,
which is designated as a Candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act. The
ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under
CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
