While our first priority for solar facilities is to utilize land that has already been cleared, was previously cleared, or is scheduled to be harvested, some project components are planned for land that is currently wooded. As part of the Article 10 process, we will work collaboratively with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure we minimize disturbance to the environment. In addition to coordinating with the State, the project will have appropriate setbacks from sensitive areas such as streams, wetlands, and floodplains.
