Document Description
The project includes stream alteration activities at 29 locations within the Panoche Valley Solar Farm Project: constructing road crossings, fences, a stormwater detention basin, and photovoltaic (PV) solar panel arrays; flattening of stream channels to bring topography within the tolerance required for PV array installation; and diversion and flattening of channels to turn channelized flow into sheetflow to reduce erosion potential within the PV arrays. Tires, scrap metal, farm equipment, and other dumped material will be removed from streams at nine additional locations on habitat compensation lands and hauled to a landfill. CA tiger salamander (Ambystoma calfiorniense) breeding pond construction projects will occur at two additional locations.
