Summary
The Middlefield Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency approved IWA 1002-25 for a solar panel array at 39 Cherry Hill Road, requiring sedimentation and erosion controls and advance notification to the wetlands enforcement officer.
The Middlefield Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency voted March 18 to approve IWA 1002-25, permitting installation of a solar panel array at 39 Cherry Hill Road by Rockfall Solar One, LLC with Connwood Foresters, Inc. The approval was conditioned on (1) appropriate sedimentation and erosion controls during construction and (2) advance notification to the Middlefield wetlands enforcement officer.
