EAC discusses a solar-leasing newsletter item and state pre-emption on solar decommissioning; Ingram Mills site noted as township's only solar farm
Summary
Ed McConnell is preparing a solar-leasing article; staff warned a new state pre-emption rule prevents local solar farm decommissioning ordinances, so state decommissioning requirements apply. The township's only solar farm is at the Ingram Mills Water Treatment Plant.
Ed McConnell told members he is developing a solar-leasing article for the township newsletter and noted the editorial deadline of Aug. 12 for the mailed newsletter or use of the more frequent e-newsletter as an alternative.
Mandie Cantlin explained that a recent state pre-emption prevents communities from imposing their own solar-farm decommissioning rules, so "state decommissioning requirements apply." The minutes record that the only township solar farm is at the Ingram Mills Water Treatment Plant.
