Project Info

Title

California Flats Solar Project

Description

Project involves the construction, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning of a 280-megawatt solar power generating facility on approx. 2,367 acres of undeveloped grassland. The project is composed of four main components: solar development areas, a transmission line corridor, an access road, and a utility corridor. The project will result in incidental take of San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica, SJKF) and California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense, CTS), which are designated as threatened species under CESA. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of the two species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation, including temporary impacts to 213 acres and permanent impacts to 2,154 acres of SJKF and CTS habitat. Amendment No. 5 updates the Permittee contact information, adds disturbance to natal SJKF dens, adds a new Condition of Approval requiring submittal of a SJKF Natal Den Disturbance Plan for CDFW pre-approval, and modifies Conditions of Approval to allow for implementation of the SJKF Natal Den Disturbance Plan.
