A quasi-judicial hearing means that testimony is sworn and evidence must be competent and substantial. Hearsay or unsubstantiated opinions are not sufficient testimony. Board members are also prohibited from engaging in conversations with anyone on the merits of project outside of the public hearing process. Such conversations, commonly referred to as `ex -parte communications' are prohibited. BACKGROUND: On December 20, 2013 staff received an application proposing the development of a solar array on 2 parcels of property totaling approximately 50 acres in area owned by Shelia Bishop, Michael Bishop, and Annie Nunn. The basic facts of the application are as follows: Applicants: Sunlight Partners LLC, Shelia Bishop, Michael Bishop, and Annie Nunn Owners: Shelia Bishop, Michael Bishop, and Annie Nunn Agent(s)- Sunlight Partners 4215 East McDowell Road Suite 212 Mesa, AZ 85215 0 Michael S. Fox (Project Attorney) Tuggle Duggins P.A. 100 N. Greene Street Suite 600 Greensboro, NC 27401 Location: Off of Mt. Sinai Road with access via Cascade Drive. Please refer to Attachment 2 for a vicinity map of the project. Parcel Information: a. PIN(s): 9881 -38 -8874 and 9881 -49 -3072. b. Size of parcel(s): Approximately 50 acres. i. PIN 9881 -38 -8874 is approximately 44 acres in area. ii. PIN 9881 -49 -3072 is approximately 5.4 acres in area. Approximately 19.93 acres of properties will be encumbered by the proposed solar facility as denoted on the submitted site plan. c. Township: Chapel Hill. d. Zoning: Rural Buffer (RB). The properties are not located within a Watershed Protection Overlay District. e. Future Land Use Map Designation: Rural Buffer. f. Growth Management System Designation: Rural. g. Joint Land Use Plan Designation: Rural Buffer — Rural Residential Area h. Existing Conditions /Physical Features: The 5.4 acre parcel has an existing structure located on it, which appears to be used as a residence. Both properties have areas of existing vegetation with trees achieving an average height of anywhere from 20 to 40 feet. The larger parcel has existing vegetation as well as pasture area throughout. There are two streams in the southern portion of the properties that are required to have the natural area on either side of the stream bank preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 Stream Buffers of the UDO. i. Roads: The properties have frontage along Mt. Sinai Road. The larger parcel also has frontage along Cascade Drive. Vehicular access for the project is proposed to be off of Cascade Drive. Surrounding Land Uses: a. NORTH: Undeveloped property approximately 128 acres in area, single - family residential lots zoned RB. b. SOUTH: Mt. Sinai Road, Triangle Land Conservancy and Duke Forest Property, and single - family residential lots zoned RB. 5 c. EAST: Single- family residential lots, large undeveloped parcels of property zoned RB. d. WEST: Cascade Drive, single - family residential lots zoned RB. Proposal: The applicant is proposing to develop a Solar Array - Public Utility on the aforementioned properties. As detailed within Attachment 1, the applicant is proposing to erect individual solar array panels on the northern portion of the properties. The Bishop's, who are one of the applicants for this project, will have approximately 1 acre of their 5 acre parcel of property encumbered by individual panels. The array will be approximately 200 feet from an existing structure on the property. A typical array is 6 to 10 feet in height, with approximately 2' to 3' feet of ground clearance depending on the panel angle. The arrays will be screened by existing vegetation and any installed landscaping as depicted on the submitted site plan. An 8 foot high chain link security fence shall enclose the perimeter of the array to prevent access. Gravel paths /drives will be installed around these arrays in order to permit technicians to service the panels. The applicant is indicating they will observe a 50 foot landscaped buffer along the property lines abutting residentially zoned property as required by the UDO. They will also leave the southern portion of the site (outside the security fencing) undeveloped. Vehicular access to the site is restricted by an access gate off of Cascade Drive. The applicant is not proposing to develop a business, habitable structures, or other similar office facilities on the property. Therefore, no septic or well systems are proposed, or required, as part of the project. According to the applicant the New Hope Volunteer Fire Department and Orange County EMS will be provided a key to access the site in the event of an emergency. An overhead, medium voltage, power line will be installed on the west of the identified leased area allowing the proposed facility to tie into the power grid via the existing electrical substation to the west of the property. Ordinance Requirements — Class A Special Use: in accordance with Section 5.9.6 (C) (2) Solar Arrays of the UDO, the project is required to demonstrate compliance with the following standards of evaluation: (a) All on -site utility and transmission lines shall, to the extent feasible, be placed underground. STAFF COMMENT. Based on language provided on the site plan the applicant is proposing to adhere to this requirement. (b) The height of proposed arrays and support structures shall not exceed 40 feet. STAFF COMMENT. Data on the submitted site plan, specifically the typical rack height elevation, indicates the height of the racks will be approximately 6 -10 feet from ground elevation. No other support structures, other than utility poles, are proposed. (c) Individual arrays /solar panels shall be designed and located in order to prevent reflective glare toward any inhabited buildings on adjacent properties as well as adjacent street rights -of -way. STAFF COMMENT. Detail in the application narrative indicates the applicant will comply with this provision. A (d) A clearly visible warning sign concerning voltage must be placed at the base of all pad- mounted transformers and substations. STAFF COMMENT. Note(s) on the site plan indicate warning signs shall be erected as required by the UDO. (e) All mechanical equipment of principal solar energy systems including any structure for batteries or storage cells, shall be completely enclosed by a minimum eight (8) foot high fence with a self - locking gate, and provided with screening in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8. STAFF COMMENT. The site plan indicates the site shall be enclosed by an 8 foot high security fence around the entire perimeter. A 50' wide Landscape Buffer with screening materials will be provided around the northern, eastern and western property lines of the project (i.e. adjacent to residentially zoned property). The southern property line will be remain undeveloped. (f) The applicant shall submit proof of liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage demonstrating a minimum coverage limit of $ 500,000.00 per occurrence. STAFF COMMENT. The narrative provides language denoting the applicant's compliance with this provision. (g) A Type D Land Use Buffer shall be provided along any portion of the perimeter of the parcel, easement, or leasehold area located adjacent to property zoned, or otherwise utilized for, residential use except where such property is owned, leased or consists of other utility easements currently used for electrical distribution or transmission purposes. Existing vegetation may be used to satisfy the landscaping requirements. STAFF COMMENT. The site plan provides sufficient information demonstrating land use buffering requirements will be met. In reviewing the request with other County departments, the following comments have been received- 1 . The Sheriff's Department has indicated the proposed development will not require existing patrol patterns to be altered. 2. Orange County Emergency Services (EMS) staff has confirmed the New Hope Volunteer Fire Department will provide fire services and that EMS will provide emergency medical services. They do not believe the request will create a service provision problem for them. 3. There are no septic or well systems proposed for the property. As a result Orange County Environmental Health has indicated they have no concerns. 4. The Planning Department and the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks, and Recreation (DEAPR) staff has reviewed the proposal and determined the request, if approved, will have no significant impact to existing habitat area warranting special consideration or protection based on information contained within the Inventory of Natural Areas and Wildlife Habitats for Orange County North Carolina. 5. Orange County Solid Waste has indicated the request, if approved, will not impact service provision to the surrounding area. 7 6. The project has been submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review with no concerns being addressed. Based on these comments, staff has determined a formal Environmental Impact Statement is not required. Please refer to Attachment 3 for additional detail. Analysis: As required under Section 2.7.4 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to: `cause an analysis to be made of the application' and pass that analysis on to the reviewing body. In analyzing this request, the Planning Director offers the following- 1 . The application has been deemed complete in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.7 of the UDO. 2. The project is classified as a `utility' per Section 5.2 Table of Permitted Uses of the UDO and is a permitted use within the RB zoning district subject to the issuance of a Class A Special Use Permit. 3. Staff has determined that the property is of sufficient size to allow for the development of the project. 4. The proposal is not expected to have a negative impact on existing development in the area. 5. The proposal appears consistent with the various goals outlined within the Comprehensive Plan, including: a. Natural and Cultural Systems Goal 1: Energy conservation, sustainable use of non - polluting renewable energy resources, efficient use of non - renewable energy resources and clean air. b. Objective AE -15: Foster participation in green energy programs such as installation incentives for solar hot water /solar generation /solar tempering in residential or commercial construction. The County should develop programs that will link citizens and businesses with options for alternative and sustainable energy sources. c. Objective AG -8: Encourage the use and production of natural fuel alternatives to petroleum based products and pursue new types of energy sources. 6. The proposal appears consistent with the various goals outlined within the Joint Planning Land Use Plan (hereafter `the Plan'). As previously indicated this operation is classified as a utility land use providing an essential public service, specifically power. More importantly this project will result in the generation of power through environmentally responsible means, which is a major goal of the County. While some could argue there are `commercial' elements to the project, stringently regulated by the aforementioned Plan, the proposed array functions as any other similar utility project providing an essential public service. Such land uses, which have already been developed throughout the area, are not precluded by the Plan. JPA Review: In accordance with the Joint Planning Area Agreement, this project was sent to the Town of Chapel Hill for review and comment. As of this date staff has not received any comments. 0 Notification Requirements: Per Sections 2.7.5 of the UDO, staff has caused a notice of this hearing to be published: `as least twice in a newspaper of public circulation in the County for two (2) successive weeks: ` no less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty -five (25) days' before the public hearing. On May 14, 2014 staff posted a sign on the property providing a notice of the date, time, and location of the public hearing. Staff also sent written notice by certified mail to all adjacent property owners located within 500 feet of the subject property as required by Section 2.7.5 of the UDO. This notice was sent on May 9, 2014 (please see Attachment 4). FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments who have determined that the approval or denial of the request would not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends that the Board: 1. Receive the application, 2. Conduct the quasi-judicial Public Hearing and accept all evidence and sworn testimony as well as public, BOCC, and Planning Board comments. 3. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned to the County Board of Commissioners in time for the September 16, 2014 BOCC regular meeting. 4. Adjourn the public hearing until September 16, 2014 in order to receive and accept the Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments.

Applicant A Date. Date: 11 Binks Solar Project Narrative Sunlight Partners respectfully submits the following as supporting documentation for the affirmation that the Binks Solar meets the requirements for approval of a Special Use within the Rural Buffer zoning district and that the project complies with the following standards (1) The use will maintain or promote the public health, safety and general welfare, if located where proposed and developed and operated according to the plan as submitted, The Binks Solar Project will maintain the public health, safety and general welfare if located where proposed and developed and operated according to the plan submitted The following addresses how the project will not adversely affect health, safety, and general welfare Public Safety- The Binks Solar facility will not adversely affect public safety The solar facility is an unmanned, infrequently visited project site. As such, the project will not increase the existing demand on public safety agencies (police and fire departments) The project site will be enclosed with a fence, preventing access to the general public. Attachment is a ground mounted solar question and answer guide developed jointly by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center The attached guide addresses public safety concerns such as Hazardous Materials, Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF), and Noise Noise- According to the Orange County noise ordinance "A Resolution and Ordinance to Provide for the Control of Noise in Orange County" amended February f, 1988, Sound Levels dB(a) by Receiving Land generally cannot exceed 60 dB(a) during the daytime and 50 dB(a) during the nighttime The Binks Solar Project proposes to use Advanced Energy Soloron 500 inverters. An acoustic analysis was performed on the inverter model (Attachment B) According to the study the inverter will produce 68 dB(o) of sound measured at three (3) meters from the inverter In an open area, sound levels decrease in accordance with the Inverse square law Generally, sound decreases 6 d8 for every doubling in distance from the sound source The sound generated by the Binks Solar project will be less than 38 dB(a) at any point along the property boundary (Far below the noise ordinance threshold) The following table summarizes the sound level generated by the project- Distance (Feet) Distance (Meters) Sound level (a- weighted) 3.28 1 68 dB(a) 6.56 2 62 dB(a) 1312 4 56 dB(a) 2625 8 50 dB(a) 5249 16 44 dB(a) 10499 32 38 dB(a) 209.97 64 32 dB(a) 41995 128 26 dB(a) 83990 256 20 dB(a) 12 The following map shows the areas within the project where the sound exceeds 38 de(o) 13 (2) The use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property (unless the use is a public necessity, in which case the use need not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property), Because the Binks Solar project will have landscaping and natural buffers shielding the project from view, the project will not impact the value of contiguous property. In 2013, David Massey was commissioned to perform an analysis on solar farm impacts on adjacent property values within Guilford County Mr Massey is a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser by the State of North Carolina and a Licensed Real Estate Broker Mr Massey's practice consists of residential and commercial appraisals in Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Randolph, Chatham and Caswell Counties of North Carohna Mr Massey's study was performed to address the impact on adjacent property values related to two similar sized solar projects that Sunlight Partners was permitting in Guilford County In the study (Attachment C) Mr. Massey concludes that, "My professional and expert opinion is that the two proposed Solar Farms that will not be visible will have no impact on the market values of the surrounding properties The Solar Farms with the proposed landscaping buffers and natural buffers will not create a negative externality for the surrounding properties as they will not be visible " (c) The location and character of the use, if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and the use is in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the County as embodied in these regulations or in the Comprehensive Plan, or portion thereof, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners The proposed location for the Binks Solar project is designated as Rural Buffer According to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, Rural Buffer is defined as "Land adjacent to an urban or transition area which is rural in character and which should remain rural, contain very low - density residential uses, and not require urban services during the plan period." The Binks Solar project will be in harmony with the area and will be in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the County due to the fact that project will not increase the population density within the Rural Buffer area, will not require urban services, will not decrease the level of service on existing roads, and views of the Binks Solar project will be shielded by natural and landscape buffers Specific Standards In addition to the general standards stated in Section 5 3 2(A), the following specific standards shall be addressed by the applicant before the issuance of a Special Use Permit (1) Method and adequacy of provision of sewage disposal facilities, solid waste, and water a. Sewage Disposal Facilities- The Binks Solar project is an unmanned facility, with no regular employees located on -site Because the site is unmanned, not sewage disposal facilities will be required 14 b Solid Waste- The solar facility does not generate any solid waste during normal operation. Service crews will access the site periodically to perform routine grounds keeping. Any solid waste collected during grounds keeping will be disposed of off -site in appropriate solid waste facilities c Water- The Binks Solar project does not consume water during normal operation Water will be used semi - annually to clean the solar panels Water for panel cleaning will be obtained off -site from an appropriate water company (2) Method and adequacy of police, fire and rescue squad protection a Police- The Binks Solar project is an unmanned solar facility The project site will be fenced to prevent public access Because the site will not increase the general population of the county, the project will not increase demand on existing law- enforcement agencies b Fire and Rescue- The project site will be accessed from Cascade Drive The perimeter allows vehicle access to the entire site, with two Interior North /South access corridors All rows of panels are unobstructed and provide two points of entry As such, the design of the project site provides adequate access for fire and rescue protection The project site will not require additional fire and rescue personnel (3) Method and adequacy of vehicular access to the site and traffic conditions around the site The Binks Solar facility will be accessed from Cascade Drive Because the site will not be frequently accessed, Cascade Drive will provide adequate access to the site and Cascade Drive's traffic conditions will not be adversely impacted The frequency and nature of site access is described below. The Binks Solar project is an unmanned facility, with no regular employees located on -site A maintenance /service crew will be on -site for limited periods of time to service the equipment, clean the PV panels, and to ensure that on -site vegetation is kept at appropriate levels Routine maintenance generally will occur on a bi- monthly basis 15 Attachment A 16 CLEAN ENERGYRESULTS Questions & Answers Ground - Mounted Solar Photovoltaic Systems Westford Solar Park, photo courtesy of EEA December 2012 Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Massachusetts Clean Energy Center Table of Contents Background ............. ...............................

Endangered Species and Natural Heritage 3 5 7 9 10 13 14 16 18 20 22 23 17 Background Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, which converts sunlight directly into electricity, is a key priority for the state of Massachusetts' clean energy efforts The environmental benefits of solar PV abound Unlike conventional fossil fuel power generation (such as coal, gas and oil), generating electricity with solar PV involves no moving parts, uses no water, and generates electricity without emitting climate- warming greenhouse gases or other pollutants. Solar PV's environmental and energy benefits, combined with strong incentives, have significantly increased the use of this technology The Commonwealth's vibrant solar industry has a variety of ownership and financing options for Massachusetts residents and businesses looking to install solar PV systems Purchasing a solar PV system generally involves upfront installation and equipment costs, but there are significant incentives'. As the Massachusetts clean energy sector grows, the Patrick- Murray Administration is working to ensure that solar PV and other clean energy technologies are sited in a way that best protects human health and the environment, and minimizes impacts on scenic, natural, and historic resources Purpose of Guide This guide is intended to help local decision- makers and community members answer common questions about ground- mounted solar PV development Ground - mounted solar PV has many proven advantages and there has been a steady growth of well received projects in the Commonwealth However, these systems are still relatively new and unfamiliar additions to our physical landscape This guide focuses on questions that have been raised concerning the installation and operation of ground- mounted solar PV projects It provides summaries and links to existing research and studies that can help people understand solar PV technology in general, and ground- mounted solar in particular Solar PV panels can and are of course also installed on buildings2, car ports or light poles This guide focuses on ground- mounted systems since most questions relate to this type of solar installations Developed through the partnership of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER), the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), this guide draws from existing, recent literature in the United States and abroad and is not the result of new original scientific studies The text was reviewed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) As new information becomes available, the guide will be updated and expanded 1 For a comprehensive overview, start at http / /masscec com /index cfm /page /Solar- PV /pid/12584 and http / /www dsireusa org /solar/ Z For an overview of the multiple options for siting PV and buildings in the same footprint, see the Solar Ready Buildings Planning Guide, NREL, 2009 Solar PV Projects Are Sited Locally 19 The siting authority for solar PV projects resides at the local — not the state — level One purpose of this guide is to inform and facilitate local efforts to expand clean energy generation in a sustainable way, and provide a consolidated source of existing research and information that addresses common questions faced by communities. As part of the Green Communities Act of 2008, DOER and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) developed a model zoning by -law /ordinance called "as -of -right siting" that does not require a special permit. It is designed to help communities considering adoption of zoning for siting of large -scale solar This model zoning by -law /ordinance provides standards for the placement, design, construction, operation, monitoring, modification and removal of new large -scale ground- mounted solar PV installations The latest version of the model by -law was published in March 20123 It provides useful information that will not be repeated extensively in this guide Consider Impacts of Other Possible Developments at Site Use of land for the purpose of solar photovoltaic power generation should be compatible with most other types of land usage However DOER strongly discourages designating locations that require significant tree cutting, because of the important water management, cooling and climate benefits trees have DOER encourages designating locations in industrial and commercial districts, or on vacant, disturbed land When assessing the impact of new ground- mounted solar arrays, communities and other stakeholders should carefully consider other types of development that might take place in a particular location if there was no solar installation Stakeholders should bear in mind the higher or lower impacts that those alternatives might have in terms of noise, air pollution or landscape These alternative impacts fall outside the scope of this guide, but are relevant when looking at individual projects 3http / /www mass gov /eea /docs/ doer /green- communities /grant- program /solar - model - bylaw- mar -2012 pdf 4 W1 Hazardous Materials Question. What, if any, health risks do chemicals used in solar panels and other devices used in solar PV arrays pose if they are released into the environment? Bottom Line Because PV panel materials are enclosed, and don't mix with water or vaporize into the air, there is little, if any, risk of chemical releases to the environment during normal use The most common type of PV panels is made of tempered glass, which is quite strong They pass hail tests, and are regularly installed in Arctic and Antarctic conditions only in the unlikely event of a sufficiently hot fire is there a slight chance that chemicals could be released. This is unlikely because most residential fires are not hot enough to melt PV components and PV systems must conform to state and federal fire safety, electrical and building codes. Transformers used at PV installations, that are similar to the ones used throughout the electricity distribution system in cities and towns, have the potential to release chemicals if they leak or catch fire Transformer coolants containing halogens have some potential for toxic releases to the air if combusted However, modern transformers typically use non -toxic coolants, such as mineral oils Potential releases from transformers using these coolants at PV installations are not expected to present a risk to human health More Information. Ground - mounted PV solar arrays are typically made up of panels of silicon solar cells covered by a thin layer of protective glass attached to an inert solid underlying substance (or "substrate ") While the vast majority ofPV panels currently in use are made of silicon, certain types of solar cells may contain cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium diselenide (CIS), and gallium arsenide (GaAs) All solar panel materials, including the chemicals noted above, are contained in a solid matrix, insoluble and non - volatile at ambient conditions, and enclosed Therefore, releases to the ground from leaching, to the air from volatilization during use, or from panel breakage, are not a concern Particulate emissions could only occur if the materials were ground to a fine dust, but there is no realistic scenario for this. Panels exposed to extremely high heat could emit vapors and particulates from PV panel components to the air However, researchers have concluded that the potential for emissions derived from PV components during typical fires is limited given the relatively short - duration of most fires and the high melting point ( >1000 degrees Celsius) of PV materials compared to the roof level temperatures typically observed during residential fires (800 -900 degrees Celsius). In the rare instance where a solar panel might be subject to higher temperatures, the silicon and other chemicals that comprise the solar panel would likely bind to the glass that covers the PV cells and be retained there Release of any toxic materials from solid state inverters is also unlikely provided appropriate electrical and installation requirements are followed For more information on public safety and fire, see the Public Safety section of this document We should also note that usually the rain is sufficient to keep the panels clean, so no extra cleaning in which cleaning products might be used, is necessary. 5 Resources- 21 Energy Information Administration (EIA), 2002 Renewable Energy Annual 2001 with Preliminary Data for 2001, ftp. / /ftp.eia.doe.gov /renewables /060301.pdf Electric Power Research Institute (2003) "Potential Health and Environmental Impacts Associated with the Manufacture and Use of Photovoltaic Cells " Report to the California Energy Commission, Palo Alto, CA http- / /mydocs epri com /docs /public /000000000001000095 pdf Fthenakis, V M , Overview of Potential Hazards in Practical Handbook of Photovoltaics Fundamentals and Applications, General editors T Markvart and L Castaner, Elsevier, 2003 Fthenakis, V M Life cycle impact analysis of cadmium in CdTe PV production Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 8, 303 -334, 2004 Fthenakis V M , Kim H C , Colli A, and Kirchsteiger C , Evaluation of Risks in the Life Cycle of Photovoltaics in a Comparative Context, 21st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, Dresden, Germany, 4 -8 September 2006 Moskowitz P. and Fthenakis V, Toxic materials released from photovoltaic modules during fires, health risks, Solar Cells, 29, 63 -71, 1990 Sherwani, A.F., Usmani, J.A , &Varun Life cycle assessment of solar PV based electricity generation systems- A review Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14, 540 -544, 2010 Zayed, J, Philippe, S (2009 -08) "Acute Oral and Inhalation Toxicities in Rats With Cadmium Telluride" (PDF) International journal of toxicology (International Journal of Toxicology) 28 (4) 259 -65 A 22 End -of- Life /Decommissioning Question. What happens after solar panels are no longer used and are being decommissioned? Do hazardous waste disposal requirements apply? Bottom Line- The interest in recycling of solar panels has increased in Europe and the U S as more panels are decommissioned State regulations are in place to ensure proper disposal and recycling of panels with components that constitute solid or hazardous waste under state regulations More information. The average life of solar PV panels can be 20 -30 years (or longer) after initial installation PV cells typically lose about 0 5% of their energy production capacity per year At their time of decommissioning, panels may be disposed, recycled or reused Since widespread use of solar PV is recent in Massachusetts, only a small percentage of solar panels in use in the state have reached the end of their useful lifetime A significant increase in the amount of end -of -life PV modules is expected over the next few decades When solar panels are decommissioned, state rules require that panel disposal be "properly managed" pursuant to Massachusetts hazardous waste regulations There are many different types of solar panels used in ground- mounted solar PV systems, some of these panels have components that may, by state regulation, require special hazardous waste disposal or recycling Solar module manufacturers typically provide a list of materials used in the manufacturing of their product, which is used to determine the proper disposal at the time of decommissioning People who lease land for solar projects are encouraged to include end -of -life panel management as part of the lease In cases where panels are purchased, owners need to determine whether the end -of- life panels are a solid or hazardous waste and dispose of the panels appropriately Massachusetts regulations require testing of waste before disposal Because of the various materials used to produce solar panels (such as metal and glass), interest in recycling of solar modules has grown Throughout Europe, a not - for - profit association (PV Cycle) is managing a voluntary collection and recycling program for end -of -life PV modules. The American photovoltaic industry is not required by state or federal regulation to recycle its products, but several solar companies are starting to recycle on a voluntary basis Some manufacturers are offering end -of -life recycling options and independent companies looking to recycle solar modules are growing This allows for the recycling of the PV panels and prevents issues with the hazardous materials Currently, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control is considering standards for the management of solar PV panels at the end of their use DOER'S model zoning provides language on requirements for abandonment and decommissioning of solar panels for use by local officials considering local approvals for these projects Resources End -of -life PV then what? - Recycling solar PV panels http . / /www.renewableenergVfocus.com /view /3005 /end -of- life -pv -then- what - recycling - solar -pv- panels/ 23 MassDEP Hazardous Waste Regulations 310 CMR 30 http•/ /www mass gov /dep /service /regulations /310cmr30 pdf PV Cycle, Europe http. / /www.pvcycle.org/ California Department of Toxic Substances Control, Proposed Standards for the Management of Hazardous Waste Solar Modules, http-/ /www dtsc ca gov /LawsRegsPolicies /Reps /Reg Exempt HW Solar Panels cfm 24 Ambient Temperature ( "Heat Island ") Question -Does the presence of ground- mounted solar PV arrays cause higher ambient temperatures in the surrounding neighborhood (i e , the "heat island" effect)? Bottom Line All available evidence indicates that there is no solar "heat island" effect caused by the functioning of solar arrays. Cutting shade trees for solar PV might increase the need for cooling if those trees were shading buildings This is primarily a concern in town centers and residential areas (locations where large ground- mounted PV is not encouraged) and is a potential impact of any development activity that requires tree - cutting More Information- All available evidence indicates that there is no solar "heat island" effect caused by the functioning of solar arrays. Solar panels absorb photons from direct sunlight and convert it to electricity This minimizes the likelihood of substantially changing temperatures at the site or the surrounding neighborhood For an area with no PV system, solar energy impacting the ground is either reflected or absorbed. There is no research to support heat production from the solar panels themselves Sunpower, a private solar manufacturer, conducted a study on the impact of solar PV on the local temperature and concluded that a solar PV array can absorb a higher percentage of ambient heat than could a forested parcel of land without an array. The study points out that while solar PV modules can reach operating temperatures up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, they are thin and lightweight and therefore do not store a large amount of heat. Because of this, and the fact that panels are also shown to cool to ambient air temperature shortly after the sun sets, the Sunpower study concludes that the area surrounding a large -scale solar array is unlikely to experience a net heating change from the panels If trees are removed that were previously shading a building, that building could get warmer in full sunshine than when the trees were shading it The June 1, 2011 tornado that ripped through Western Massachusetts created an opportunity to empirically measure the affects of the loss of neighborhood trees on temperatures and air humidity in the streets A report by the U S Department of Agriculture Forest Service concluded that in the tornado - impacted neighborhood in Springfield, Massachusetts, daily mean morning and afternoon temperatures were typically greater than in the unaffected neighborhood and forest sites, but were similar at night Residents noted increased use of air - conditioning units and an overall increase in energy costs in July and August of 2011.

Bottom Line- Electric and magnetic fields are a normal part of life in the modern world PV arrays generate EMF in the same extremely low frequency (ELF) range as electrical appliances and wiring found in most homes and buildings The average daily background exposure to magnetic fields is estimated to be around one mG (milligauss — the unit used to measure magnetic field strength), but can vary considerably depending on a person's exposure to EMF from household electrical devices and wiring The lowest exposure level that has been potentially associated with a health effect is three mG. Measurements at three commercial PV arrays in Massachusetts demonstrated that their contributions to off -site EMF exposures were low (less than 0 5 mG at the site boundary), which is consistent with the drop off of EMF strength based on distance from the source More Information. Solar PV panels, inverters and other components that make up solar PV arrays produce extremely low frequency EMF when generating and transmitting electricity. The extremely low frequency EMF from PV arrays is the same as the EMF people are exposed to from household electrical appliances, wiring in buildings, and power transmission lines (all at the power frequency of 60 hertz) EMF produced by cell phones, radios and microwaves is at much higher frequencies (30,000 hertz and above) Electric fields are present when a device is connected to a power source, and are shielded or blocked by common materials, resulting in low potential for exposure On the other hand, magnetic fields, which are only generated when a device is turned on, are not easily shielded and pass through most objects, resulting in greater potential for exposure Both types of fields are strongest at the source and their strength decreases rapidly as the distance from the source increases For example, the magnetic field from a vacuum cleaner six inches away from the motor is 300 mG and decreases to two mG three feet away People are exposed to EMF during normal use of electricity and exposure varies greatly over time, depending on the distance to various household appliances and the length of time they are on The daily average background level of magnetic fields for U S residents is one mG EMF from PV Arrays- Solar PV panels produce low levels of extremely low frequency EMF, with measured field strengths of less than one mG three inches from the panel Solar PV power inverters, transformers and conduits generate higher levels of ELF -EMF The amount of ELF -EMF is proportional to the electrical capacity of the inverter and is greater when more current (electricity) is flowing through a power line In a study of two PV arrays (using 10 -20kW invertors) in Kerman and Davis, California, the magnetic field was highest at the inverters and transformers, but decreased rapidly to less than one mG within 50 feet of the units, well within the boundary of the PV array (Chang and Jennings 1994) This data indicates that extremely low frequency EMF field strengths at residences near systems of this size would be below the typical levels experienced by most people at home The highest extremely low frequency EMF (up to 1,050 mG) was found next to an inverter unit at the point of entry to the electrical conduits Even this 10 W value is less than the ELF -EMF reported for some common household devices, such as an electric can opener with a maximum of 1500 mG at 6 inches. In a recent study of 3 ground mounted PV arrays in Massachusetts, the above results were confirmed The PV arrays had a capacity range of 1 to 3 5 MW Magnetic field levels along the PV array site boundary were in the very low range of 0 2 to 0 4 mG Magnetic fields at 3 to 7 feet from the inverters ranged from 500 to 150 mG At a distance of 150 feet from the inverters, these fields dropped back to very low levels of 0.5 mG or less, and in many cases to much less than background levels ( <0 2 mG) Potential Health Effects- Four research studies have reported an association between three to four mG EMF exposure and childhood leukemia, while 11 other studies have not. These studies are inconsistent and do not demonstrate a causal link that would trigger a World Health Organization (WHO) designation of EMF as a possible carcinogen Studies looking at other cancers in humans and animals have not found evidence of a link to residential ELF -EMF exposure Reference Exposure Levels- To protect the general public from health effects from short -term high level magnetic fields, the International Commission on Non - Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP, 2010) advised an exposure limit for extremely low frequency magnetic fields at 2000mG. ICNIRP determined that the evidence on the impact of long -term exposure to low level magnetic fields was too uncertain to use to set a guideline Guidelines for the magnetic field allowed at the edge of transmission line right -of- ways have been set at 200 mG by Florida and New York Exposure to magnetic fields greater than 1000 mG is not recommended for people with pacemakers or defibrillators (ACGIH, 2001) ELF -EMF does not appear to interfere with hearing aids, though interference from higher frequency EMF associated with cell phones has been reported Resources* American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) 2001 as cited in NIEHS 2002 California Department of Health Services (CA DHS) 2000 Electric and Magnetic Fields, measurements and possible effect on human health — what we know and what we don't know in 2000 This factsheet has a moderate level of technical detail and is intended for those with an interest in science For more information,see http / /www.dhs.ca gov /ps /deodc /ehib /.

How do ground- mounted solar PV arrays adjacent to residential neighborhoods influence the property values in those neighborhoods? Bottom Line. No research was found specific to ground- mounted solar PV and property values Residential property value research on roof - mounted solar PV and wind turbines illustrates no evidence of devaluation of homes in the area. Municipalities that adopt zoning for solar facilities may want to consider encouraging project developers to include screening vegetation along site borders to minimize visual impacts on surrounding neighborhoods More Information- A review of literature nationwide shows little evidence that solar arrays influence nearby property values An analysis focused on roof- mounted solar PV panels done by the U S Department of Energy Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory concludes that household solar installation actually increases home property values. This research analyzes a large dataset of California homes that sold from 2000 through mid -2009 with PV installed. Across a large number of repeat sales model specifications and robustness tests, the analysis finds strong evidence that California homes with PV systems have sold for a premium over comparable homes without PV systems While neither of these reports focused on ground- mounted solar PV, this information may be relevant to this discussion Resources* The Impact of Wind Power Projects on Residential Property Values in the United States.

Can electrical and other equipment associated with solar projects cause electrical fires? Bottom Line. Large -scale ground- mounted arrays are typically enclosed by fencing This prevents children and the general public from coming into contact with the installations, thus preventing unsafe situations. The National Electric Code has mandatory requirements to promote the electrical safety of solar PV arrays The solar industry and firefighters provide training and education for emergency personnel to ensure that the proper safety precautions are taken More Information The National Electric Code has mandatory requirements for the electrical safety of solar PV arrays To protect intruders, Article 690 of the National Electric Code covers the safety standards for solar PV installation and requires that conductors installed as part of solar PV be "not readily accessible " With a large -scale ground- mounted array, a fence is typically installed around the system to prevent intruders Some communities have solar PV or signage by -laws that require identification of the system owner and 24 -hour emergency contact information DOER'S model by- law /ordinance requires owners of solar PV facilities to provide a copy of the project summary, electrical schematic, and site plan to the local fire chief, who can then work with the owner and local emergency services to develop an emergency response plan These measures can be combined with products to prevent theft of the panels. Some are very low cost options (fastener type) while there are other options that are more expensive (alarm system type) but also more effective The biggest potential risk associated with solar PV systems is the risk of shock or electrocution for firefighters and other emergency responders who could come in contact with high voltage conductors A 2010 study on firefighter safety and emergency response for solar PV systems by the Fire Protection Research Foundation, based in Quincy, Massachusetts, recommended steps firefighters can take when dealing with wiring and other components that may be energized The Solar Energy Business Association of New England (SEBANE) has been working to provide training and education to first - responders to identify and avoid potential hazards when responding to a solar PV fire For more information about toxics /fires, see the Hazardous Materials Section.

Bottom Line- Parties undertaking solar PV projects with state or federal agency involvement must provide the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) with complete project information as early as possible in the planning stage, by mail, to the MHC's office (see Resources) Parties should also contact local planning, historical or historic district commissions to learn about any required local approvals Municipalities should also take the presence of historic resources into account when establishing zoning regulations for solar energy facilities in order to avoid or minimize impacts More Information- Land being evaluated for the siting large -scale solar PV may have historical or archaeological significance, including properties listed in the National or State Registers of Historic Places and /or the Inventory of Historic and Archaeological Assets of the Commonwealth Federal and state laws require that any new construction, demolition or rehabilitation projects (including new construction of solar PV) that propose to use funding, licenses or permits from federal or state government agencies must be reviewed by the MHC so that feasible alternatives are developed and implemented to avoid or mitigate any adverse affects to historic and archaeological properties Projects receiving federal funding, licenses or permits are reviewed by the involved federal agency in consultation with the MHC and other parties in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U S C 470f) and the implementing regulations (36 CFR 800) in order to reach agreement to resolve any adverse effects Projects receiving state funding, licenses or permits must notify the MHC in compliance with M G L c 9, ss 26 -27C and the implementing regulations 950 CMR 71 If the MHC determines that the project will have an adverse effect, the involved state agency, the project proponent, the local historical preservation agencies, and other interested parties consult to reach an agreement that outlines measures to be implemented to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects For projects with both federal and state agency involvement, the Section 106 process is used Some communities have local preservation ordinances or established historic districts that require local approval for new construction visible from a public way Local historic district commissions have adopted design guidelines for new construction within their historic districts and historic neighborhoods. However, these guidelines must account for Chapter 40C Section 7 of the General Laws, which requires a historic district commission to consider the policy of the Commonwealth to encourage the use of solar energy systems and to protect solar access Resources.

Do the inverters, transformers or other equipment used as part of ground- mounted solar PV create noise that will impact the surrounding neighborhood? Bottom Line. Ground - mounted solar PV array inverters and transformers make a humming noise during daytime, when the array generates electricity At 50 to 150 feet from the boundary of the arrays, any sound from the inverters is inaudible Parties that are planning and designing ground- mounted solar PV can explore options to minimize noise impacts to surrounding areas even more These could include conducting pre - construction sound studies, evaluating where to place transformers, and undertaking appropriate noise mitigation measures More Information. Most typically, the source of noise associated with ground- mounted solar PV comes from inverters and transformers There also may be some minimal noise from switching gear associated with power substations. The crackling or hissing sound caused by high - voltage transmission lines (the "Corona effect ") is not a concern in the case of solar PV, which uses lower voltage lines Parties siting ground- mounted solar PV projects should consult equipment manufacturers to obtain information about sound that can be expected from electrical equipment, which can vary For example, according to manufacturer's information, a SatConPowergate Plus 1 MW Commercial Solar PV Inverter has an unshielded noise rating of 65 decibels (dBA) at five feet This is approximately the sound equivalent of having a normal conversation with someone three feet away Another source of information is the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards, which will provide maximum sound levels from various equipment arrays From NEMA, a large dry -type transformer (2001- 3333 kVA) that is forced air cooled and ventilated has an average sound level of 71 dBA, which is approximately the sound level one would expect from a vacuum cleaner at ten feet There may be several such units on a substantially sized PV site, which would increase the sound level to some degree Sound impacts from electrical equipment can be modeled to the property line or nearest sensitive receptor (residence) Sound impacts can be mitigated with the use of enclosures, shielding and placement of the sound - generating equipment on -site The rule of thumb for siting noise - generating equipment is that the sound impact can be reduced by half by doubling the distance to the receptor In some areas both in the U S and Canada, sound impact analysis is required as part of the permitting process for large PV systems For example, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, any project greater than 12 MW is required to perform a sound impact analysis (Ontario 359/09). California also requires a sound impact analysis for Large PV projects Massachusetts currently has no such requirement, but the reader should note that ground mounted systems in Massachusetts very rarely go over 6 MW, which is half the size of the 12 MW that triggers a sound analysis in Ontario A recent study measured noise levels at set distances from the inverters and from the outer boundary of three ground mounted PV arrays in Massachusetts with a capacity range of 1 to 3 5 MW Close to the inverters (10 feet), sound levels varied from an average of 55 dBA to 65 dBA Sound levels along the fenced boundary of the PV arrays were generally at background levels, though a faint inverter hum could be heard at some locations Any sound from the PV array and equipment was inaudible and sound 18 34 levels were at background levels at setback distances of 50 to 150 feet from the boundary Project developers should consult with local planning and zoning officials to determine if local noise ordinances may be applicable Many local noise ordinances establish absolute limits on project impact noise (such as a 40 dBA nighttime limit) In these communities, a noise impact assessment may be required Resources.

Will flooding occur in cases where trees must be removed in order to install the solar arrays? How do we ensure that wetland resources are protected? Bottom Line. Rules are in place to ensure that ground- mounted solar arrays are installed in ways that protect of public water supply, wetlands, and other water resource areas. All solar panels are contained in a solid matrix, are insoluble and are enclosed Therefore releases are not a concern More Information- Because trees offer multiple water management, cooling and climate benefits, clear cutting of trees for the installation of ground- mounted solar PV is discouraged For projects that do propose to alter trees, the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) has thresholds for the proposed alteration of a certain number of acres of land, the size of electrical facilities, and other criteria that trigger state review of proposed projects Clear cutting of trees and other aspects of proposed projects would be reviewed through an Environmental Notification Form /Environmental Impact Statement if thresholds are triggered MassDEP has determined that the installation of solar arrays can be compatible with the operation and protection of public drinking water systems This includes the installation of solar arrays within Zone I, which is a 400 -foot protective radius around a public ground water well Solar projects proposed on lands owned by public water systems outside Zone I may be approved subject to standard best management practices, such as proper labeling, storage, use, and disposal of products MassDEP has a guidance /review process in place to ensure that the installation of ground- mounted solar PV in these areas protects public water supplies Installing solar arrays on undeveloped land can preserve the permeable nature of the land surface provided the project design minimizes disturbance to natural vegetative cover, avoids concentrated runoff, and precipitation is otherwise recharged into the ground to the greatest extent practicable Storm water flow, as well as information about site- specific soils and slope, is taken into account during the design and installation of solar arrays MassDEP discourages installation of ground- mounted solar PV systems in wetland areas, including riverfront locations Solar projects within wetland areas are unlikely to comply with the performance standards in the Wetlands Protection Act regulations If a solar installation is proposed in a wetland, a riverfront area, a floodplain, or within 100 feet of certain wetlands, the project proponent must file a notice of intent (or application to work in wetland areas) with the local Conservation Commission, which administers the Wetlands Protection Act at the municipal level Copies should also go to MassDEP Solar installations may be sited near, but outside of wetlands, in a manner that protects the functions of wetlands and that minimizes impacts from associated activities such as access and maintenance Ancillary structures related to construction of a solar installation or transmission of power may be permitted to cross rivers and streams using best design and management practices 20 36 Resources.

How important is reflectivity and potential visual impacts from solar projects, especially near airports? Bottom Line. Solar panels are designed to reflect only about 2 percent of incoming light, so issues with glare from PV panels are rare Pre - construction modeling can ensure that the placement of solar panels prevents glare More Information- Solar panels are designed to absorb solar energy and convert it into electricity. Most are designed with anti - reflective glass front surfaces to capture and retain as much of the solar spectrum as possible Solar module glass has less reflectivity than water or window glass Typical panels are designed to reflect only about 2 percent of incoming sunlight Reflected light from solar panels will have a significantly lower intensity than glare from direct sunlight An analysis of a proposed 25- degree fixed -tilt flat -plate polycrystalline PV system located outside of Las Vegas, Nevada showed that the potential for hazardous glare from flat -plate PV systems is similar to that of smooth water and is not expected to be a hazard to air navigation Many projects throughout the U S and the world have been installed near airports with no impact on flight operations United Kingdom and U S aircraft accident databases contain no cases of accidents in which glare caused by a solar energy facility was cited as a factor When siting solar PV arrays pre - construction modeling can ensure the panels are placed in a way that minimizes any potential glare to surrounding areas Resources- Technical Guidance for Evaluating Selected Solar Technologies on Airports, Federal Aviation Administration, November 2010 (currently under review) http: / /www.faa gov /airports /environmental /policy guidance /media /airport solar guide.pdf A Study of the Hazardous Glare Potential to Aviators from Utility -Scale Flat -Plate Photovoltaic Systems, Black & Veatch Corporation, August 2011 http / /www.isrn.com /journals /re/2011/651857/ Solar Photovoltaic Energy Facilities, Assessment of Potential Impact on Aviation, Spaven Consulting, January 2011• http•/ /plan scambs gov uk/ swiftlg /MediaTemp/1121414- 374831.pdf 22 Endangered Species and Natural Heritage Question- Who ensures that rare animal and plant species and their habitats are not displaced or destroyed during the construction of ground- mounted solar PV? Bottom Line- Rules are in place to ensure that the installation of ground mounted solar arrays protects state - listed rare species and animals and plants. Project proponents can check with the local Conservation Commission to determine if the footprint of the solar PV project lies within a rare species habitat. More Information. The Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program ( NEHSP) was created under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) and is responsible for protecting rare animal and plant species and their habitats from being displaced or destroyed. Specifically, NEHSP reviews projects proposed for Priority Habitats- These are areas known to be populated by state - listed rare species of animals or plants Any project that could result in the alteration of more than two acres of Priority Habitat is subject to NHESP regulatory review Projects will need to file a MESA Information Request Form, along with a project plan, a U S Geological Service (USGS) topographical map of the site, and a $50 processing fee NHESP will let project administrators know within 30 days if the filing is complete, then will determine within the next 60 days whether the project, as proposed, would result in a "take" of state - listed rare species that might require the project to redesign, scale down, or abandon its plan. Estimated Habitats. These are a sub -set of Priority Habitats that are based on the geographical range of state - listed rare wildlife — particularly animals that live in and around wetlands If the project is proposed for one of these areas and the local Conservation Commission requires filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) under the Wetlands Protection Act, the project will need to submit copies of the NO], project plans and a U S Geological Service (USGS) topographical map to NHESP Within 30 days of receiving this information, NHESP will send its comments to the Conservation Commission, with copies to the project administrator, project consultants, and the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Projects can check with the Conservation Commission in your town or city to find out if its footprint lies within an Estimated Habitat for rare species Each Commission has a large -scale map of its community available for public inspection.

The inverter had a serial number of 750385 F/R Al The inverter was 1 83m wide x 0 97m deep x 2m high The inverter was mounted on a rigid wood platform constructed using 2x4 studs and rigid foam The platform raised the inverter 0 2m off the floor The reference box established for the inverter had the following dimensions L1 = 1 83m, L2 = 0 97m, L3 = 2 21m The inverter was supplied DC input voltage by power generation equipment located in an adjacent room 3. General Methodology We measured the sound pressure levels generated by the inverter per the ISO 3744 -1994 Standard During the measurements, we collected the overall un- weighted equivalent continuous sound level (LEO), as well as the un- weighted 1/3- octave band spectra from both the inverter and ambient conditions The measurement duration at each microphone position was 60 seconds To measure the inverter, we established a parallelepiped measurement surface 1 meter from the reference box The resultant measurement surface had the following dimensions L1 = 3 83m, L2 = 2 97m, L3 = 3 21m, and totaled 55 01 square meters We used 9 microphone positions, per Figure C2 of the ISO 3744 -1994 Standard For all 9 positions, the fixed microphone position technique was used VIBRO ACOUSTIC CONSULTANTS • 490 POST STREET, SUITE 1427 • SAN FRANCISCO, CA • 94102 • USA PHONE ( +1) 415 693 -0424 • FAX ( +1) 415- 693 -1398 • INTERNET http • / /www va- consult com 44 -2- We tested four operating configurations of the inverter As an exploratory test, we also measured a fifth configuration at only one microphone position The tested configurations are shown in the following table Configuration Input Voltage Output Power Blower Setting 1 790V 100% (500kW) Maximum 2 850V 100% (500kW) Maximum 3 730 -745V' 100% (500k1At) Maximum 4 790V 50% (250k11V) Maximum 5 850V 50% (250kM Maximum 'During this measurement, the voltage regulator was not operating properly The input voltage was observed to oscillate between 730V and 745V We understand from our discussions with AEI personnel that the operating conditions tested are representative of a real -world installation 4 Data Collection 41 Measurement System Parameters We measured the sound power levels using our standard testing suite Instrument Make / Model Identification Microphone Calibrator Bruel & Kjaer 4231 SIN 2292439 Noise Meter Norsonic N -140 SIN 1403581 Microphone Preamplifier Norsonic N -1209 SIN 12749 Microphone Norsonic N -1225 SIN 96063 The noise meter was calibrated to 94 dB at 1 kHz before and after the measurements The n-ncrophone windscreen was used The Norsonic N -140 has an internal correction filter to correct for the effects of the windscreen 4.2 Measurement Locations and Site Conditions We collected data in the Solaron testing lab adjacent to the main fabrication area at the AEI facility in Fort Collins, CO The testing lab measured approximately 13 41m x 19 51m x 3 35m The floor is an exposed concrete slab, three of the walls are constructed using vinyl -faced gypsum board on stud - framing, the remaining wall was open to the main fabrication area, the ceiling is a suspended grid containing vinyl -faced gypsum board panels The testing area contains several workstations and other inverters The inverter was placed near the center of the testing lab space, at least 5.5m from any of the lab walls No workstations or other inverters were located within 4m of the inverter However, the top of the inverter was only 1 14m below the suspended gypsum board ceiling In an effort to reduce the effects of the ceiling on the measurements, several ceiling tiles above the VIBRO ACOUSTIC CONSULTANTS • 490 POST STREET, SUITE 1427 • SAN FRANCISCO, CA • 94102 • USA PHONE ( +1) 415 -693 0424 • FAX (+1) 415 693 1398 • INTERNET http • / /www va- consult com 45 -3- inverter were removed This roof deck is approximately 2 8m above the suspended ceiling, providing a vertical clearance of 3 9m The temperature in the fabrication area was estimated to be 22 °C The relative humidity was typical of an indoor air - conditioned environment 4.3 Qualification of Acoustical Environment Ambient Noise Correction Factor K1 In the majority of 1/3 octave bands, the ambient noise levels were greater than 6 dB below the test conditions In the 50-80Hz, 630Hz, and 2 -6 3kHz 1/3 octave bands, the ambient noise was frequently only 1 -4 dB below the test conditions Generally, the "middle" four measurement positions had a greater signal -to -noise ratio than the "top" five positions Acoustical Correction Factor K� The reflecting plane extended a minimum of 4 5m from the measurement surface in all directions, which meets the ISO -3744 Standard for the 50 Hz lower boundary of the presented data The reflecting plane was concrete slab -on -grade and was estimated to have an absorption coefficient of 0 05 or less in the frequency bands of interest The Approximate Method was used to determine the environmental correction factor, K2 Our calculations show that the highest value for K2 is 9 6 dB and occurs in the 500Hz octave band The environment does not meet the ISO -3744 Standard requirement of K2 < 2 dB The following table presents the calculated octave band K2 values Calculated 63 Hz 125 Hz 250 Hz 500 Hz 1 kHz 2 kHz 4 kHz 8 kHz K2 52dB 46dB 68dB 96dB 93dB 86dB 71 dB 62dB While the values for K2 exceed the ISO Standard in all octave bands, the Standard allows for compliance by using a maximum correction factor of 2 dB Values for which the correction factor is limited to 2 dB therefore represent a "worst- case" or upper boundary for the actual performance of the device under test 4.4 Data Presentation Data are presented in Tables 1-7 For each configuration, we present the overall A- weighted (LwA) and the un- weighted 1/3 octave band sound power levels in decibels referenced to 1x1012 W We also present the overall A- weighted (dBA) and the un- weighted 1/3 octave band sound pressure levels in decibels referenced to 20 µPa for each configuration VIBRO- ACOUSTIC CONSULTANTS • 490 POST STREET, SUITE 1427 • SAN FRANCISCO, CA • 94102 • USA PHONE ( +1) 415 -

harmonic of the switching circuitry, which runs at 18kHz Noise Modeling In all of the configurations tested, the relatively broadband noise from the blower dominated the noise character There is also significant tonality at the 160 Hz band from the blower The directionality in the noise generation appears to be modest, with all four sides fitting within a 2 dB window The relatively uniform directivity is due to the presence of air inlets or outlets on all four sides as well as at the bottom of the inverter As there are no openings in the top of the inverter, the levels at the top typically measured 7 dB lower than the sides of the unit With the configurations tested, we would model the unit as a box with uniform directivity at an elevation of approximately 1m Please feel free to call if you have any questions, we may be reached in our San Francisco office by telephone at ( +1) 415 -

My company David S Massey, Inc was started in 1990 In 1982 I went to work for my father as a Real Estate Salesperson and did all the appraisals for his company This was before Certification of Appraisers became law In total I have 31 years of experience in Real Estate Appraisals and Brokerage My work is focused 99% on real estate appraisals and the brokerage is handled by my sales force of 18 Independent Contractors The State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser certification is the highest level of certification earned in the State of North Carolina This certification allows me to appraise all types of properties My practice consists of residential and commercial appraisals in Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Randolph, Chatham and Caswell Counties of North Carolina My primary counties are Alamance and Guilford Counties My office is located in Alamance County and my primary residence is a horse farm located in Southeastern Guilford County 53 Page 2 Your engagement letter is for me to study the impact of solar farms on adjoining property values This study falls under the appraisal definition of External Depreciation or External Obsolescence Simply put, this is the influence of a feature outside of the subject property. The influence may or may not exist. External obsolescence is a key consideration in appraisal work and results from diminished value to improvements. It is also one of the most difficult concepts to understand It is implicit in all three basic approaches to value but is most often specifically addressed in the cost approach It is separately addressed because it is independent of physical deterioration and functional problems. External obsolescence can be categorized into locational, environmental, and economic The loss itself results from tangible influences such as traffic, odor, view, and neighborhood, as well as intangible influences such as economy and effective demand influences. The basic premise is the principle of externalities, as stated in The Appraisal of Real Estate, tenth edition "Economies outside a property have a positive effect on its value while diseconomies outside a property have a negative effect on its value " Two methods can be used to measure external obsolescence The procedure best supported by market evidence should be selected An appraiser can either capitalize the income or rent loss attributable to the negative influence, or compare sales of similar properties that are subject to the negative influence with other properties that do not have the negative influence In my research regarding Solar Farms, I found no sales of properties next to or near to a solar farm I contacted several appraisal peers and none had any sales of properties near solar farms This is understandable as Solar Farms are relatively new to the American Real Estate market No direct market data was found to determine if any Economic Depreciation or Obsolesce does or does not exist due to a Solar Farm I then determined that the best course of action would be to determine Economic Depreciation from externalities that can be measured with market data Two market studies I performed are a part of this report One, I measured the market reaction to a High Voltage Power Line Tower being in the rear yard of a house, the side yard of another and across the street from another house in the same development. I compared these three sales with a similar house in the development that does not have a view of the HVPL Tower This study shows a market derived depreciation rate of 5% due to the unsightly tower 54 Page 3 Next, I measured the impact of an Industrial Plant and a large Manufactured Home Park located across the street from a development These externalities are both clearly visible to the development. I compared three homes in this development to a similar house in a similar development that does not have the Industrial Plant and Mobile Home development influence This study yielded a market derived external depreciation rate of 3% From these two studies I performed, one can see that visible externalities create between 3% and 5% external depreciation based on the market derived data I found an additional study regarding Wind Farms and the impact on surrounding property values This 164 page study can be found at http / /eetd Ibl.gov/EA/EMP This study was performed by Berkley Labs The work described in this report was funded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Wind & Hydropower Technologies Program) of the U S Department of Energy in December of 2009 An abstract of the above study follows. "The present research collected data on almost 7,500 sales of single family homes situated within 10 miles of 24 existing wind facilities in nine different U S states The conclusions of the study are drawn from eight different hedomc pricing models, as well as both repeat sales and sales volume models The various analyses are strongly consistent in that none of the models uncovers conclusive evidence of the existence of any widespread property value impacts that might be present in communities surrounding wind energy facilities. Specifically, neither the view of the wind facilities nor the distance of the home to those facilities is found to have any consistent, measurable, and statistically significant effect on home sales prices " From my two studies in neighboring Alamance County and the with support from the Wind Farm Study, my professional and expert opinion is that the two proposed Solar Farms that will not be visible will have no impact on the market values of the surrounding properties. The Solar Farms with the proposed landscaping buffers and natural buffers will not create a negative externality for the surrounding properties as they will not be visible As a horse farm owner in Southwest Guilford County and as a professional real estate appraiser, I would welcome a solar farm next door to my farm There are certainly much worse uses of land that would harm property values such a Swine Farms, Poultry Farms and other noxious uses that unlike a solar farm can be seen, smelled and heard. 55 Respectfully submitted, David S Massey State Certified General Appraiser #A2912 Attachments Appraiser Credentials Market Studies of External Depreciation 56 RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: ) Sunlight Partners ) 4215 East McDowell Road ) Suite 212 ) Mesa, Arizona 85215 ) (Space Above For Recorder's Use) MEMORANDUM OF LEASE ==RANDUM OF LEASE (this "Memorandum ") is made and entered into as of % , 201, by and between Sheila N.

February 10, 2014 Re. Proposed 4- Kilowatt Solar Generating Facility – Kinetix Engineering Binks Solar (Cascade Drive / Mt. Sinai Road) Thank you the opportunity to review and comment on this application for constructing solar generating facilities DEAPR comments on such developments are generally to address any concerns with respect to potential impacts on important natural or cultural resources This application is for developing a four - megawatt solar facility on two land parcels (PINs. 9881 -38 -8874 and 9881 -49 -3072) with access from Mt Sinai Road in Chapel Hill Township Both parcels are zoned Rural Buffer Cultural Resources Review Comments There are no known identified or mapped cultural resources within the project parcel or on any of the surrounding adjoining parcels. The site plan as now presented appears to locate the majority of the solar panels at the north end of the property, thereby preserving the open fields and rural character visible from the Mt Sinai Rd The project appears to be consistent with the historic preservation goals in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, Goal 4• 'Preservation of historic, cultural, architectural and archaeological resources, and their associated landscapes " Natural Resources Review Comments There are no known identified or mapped natural resource areas of significance (e g , natural heritage sites, proposed wildlife corridors, prime forest) located on this property, however, there are two streams that originate on the property and drain to the nearby New Hope Creek. The New Hope Creek corridor is an important natural and recreational area, and is host to a variety of significant plant and wildlife species —both terrestrial and aquatic The solar arrays are contained well outside of the stream corridors, therefore the plan appears consistent with the County's desire to minimize adverse environmental impacts on wetlands, natural areas and wildlife habitat. The project is also consistent with policies in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, such as the goal of "Energy conservation, sustainable use of non - polluting renewable energy resources, efficient use of non - renewable energy resources and clean air " [Natural and Cultural Systems Goal 1, Page 6 -34] and the County's objective of "Foster[ing] participation in green energy programs such as installation incentives for solar hot water /solar generation /solar tempering in residential and commercial construction " [Objective AE -15] If you have questions please contact Peter at x -2517 or Rich at x -2514 wn Michael Harvey From: Jason Shepherd Sent- Monday, May 12, 2014 12 47 PM To.

Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat 401, as amended, 16 U.S C 661- 667e), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S 113 -131 et seq ) The applicant proposes to construct a photovoltaic solar facility. The facility will consist of four, 1,0 MW solar photovoltaic arrays and eight, 500 kW inverters The facihty will interconnect to an existing electrical distribution line and electricity will be sold to Duke Energy Carolinas The facility will be fenced and located on Cascade Drive in Chapel Hill. The site drains to an unnamed tributary to New Hope Creek in the Cape Fear River basin There are records for the federal species of concern and state endangered brook floater (Alasmidonia varicosa) and Carolina creekshell (Villora vaughaniana), the state special concern notched rainbow (Villosa constricta), and the state significantly rare Eastern creeksheil (Pillosa dalumbis) and Chameleon lampmussel (Lampsihs sn ) in New Hope Creek We offer the following general recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources Maintain or establish a minimum I00 -foot undisturbed, native forested buffer along each side of perennial streams and 50 -foot undisturbed, native forested buffer along each side of mtermittent streams and wetlands Forested riparian buffers provide habitat areas for aquane and terrestrial wildlife species and travel corridors for terrestrial wildlife.

Avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands during construction In addition to providing wildlife habitat, wetland areas perform important functions of flood control and water quality protection U S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 permits and N C Division of Water Quality Section 401 Certifications are needed for any impacts to jurisdictional streams or wetlands. Temporarily disturbed wetland areas should be returned to original soils and contours, and reseeded with annual small grains appropriate for the season (e g oats, millet, rye, wheat, or rye grass) and should be allowed to revert to natural wetland vegetation 3 If additional overhead transmission lines will be installed, then measures to minimize impacts to birds should be implemented These can include increasing line visibility, insulating wires to cover exposed connections, and increasing the distance between wires so no contact with ground or other energized wire can be made For more information see h4 -flwww fws.gov/birds/documentslPowerlmes 12d 4 Consider establishing vegetative cover on the site that is beneficial to wildlife such as native warm season grasses We refer the applicant to Jason Allen, District Wildlife Biologist, at (336) 524 -9801 orlason alloriRticwildlife orb for information on developing a site - specific vegetation plan Although a site - specific plan is preferred, for general information on developing vegetative cover on disturbed soils, please see the attached Seed Mixes for Re- vegetating Disturbed Sites Note it is important to use all of the components of the Basic Mix. Also, we encourage adding one or more of the native species (found in the table at the end) to the Basic Mix to improve habitat for wildlife species 5 Mature stands of the Basic Mix are short- statured and will not require mowing. The Basic Mix should persist for many years, but eventually will yield to developing successional species in the seed bank If site and/or transmission line maintenance is needed, avoid mowing between April I and October I to minimize impacts to nesting wildlife We suggest a maintenance schedule that incorporates a portion of the area (e g one -third of the area) each year. Pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals should not be used in wetland areas or near streams. 6 Where feasible, consider establishing grassland habitats on the site These are drought tolerant and require minimal mowing maintenance once established. Grasslands provide habitat for migratory and resident birds and small mammals particularly if mowing is done only in late winterlearly spring after winter cover needs are reduced and before nesting occurs For more information on grassland habitats and establishment, please contact Laura. Fogo, U S Fish and Wildlife Service, at (910) 695 -3323 or iaura foeo@fws Roy 7 if pesticides or chemicals will be used for site maintenance, then stormwater runoff from the site should be directed to bio- retention areas prior to discharge to streams or wetlands to provide additional protection for water quality and aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitats. S Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land clearing or construction These measures should be routinely inspected and properly maintained Excessive slit and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species 9 Measures to mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts can be found in NCWRC's Guidance Memorandum to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality (August 2002, htto / /www ncwrldlife or , /Por'tals/0 /Conservin documents /2002 GurdanceMemorandumfo,-Secondar yandCumulativeimpacts pd f}. m Page 3 28 May 2013 Binks Solar Array DENR Project No 13 -0417 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

It is important to use all of the components of the Basic Mix. The cover crop grain and legume provide rapid green -up while the creeping red fescue is developing These components can be obtained locally Grains like oats, wheat, and rye may be sold by weight (pounds) or by volume (bushels), To snnphfy things, this mix recommends 1 -2 BAGS of grain rather than pounds or bushels With this mix, 1 bag or about 50 — 60 lbs per acre should be adequate for most sites, but where slope or soil conditions warrant, increase grain amounts to 100 — 120 lbs (use 2 bags) Tne perennial grass will establish within the first year and is the key to good site stabilization Creeping red fescue has a wide range of adaptation when used for erosion control along roads and highways; cuts, fills, and other disturbed areas, and for stream and charnel bank stabilization It thrives in sun or shade, and is relatively drought - resistant after establishment. For permanent seeding of harsh dry sites, Hard Fescue Festuca 10 ibs /acre breviprla (svn trachvphylla) or Sheep Fescue Festuca ovina can be added to the Basic Mix I Application Motes • Distufned sites with loose soils can usually be sown without extensive seedbed preparation if seeded as soon as the other work is completed • Where necessary, prepare seedbed with conventional farm equipment (tractor and disk), or the soil surface can be bladed and then tracked with a bulldozer Hydro - seeding can be used with the Basic Mix for slopes where equipment access is difficult, • Red fescue is adapted to sandy and acid soils so extensive soil amendments are usually not needed On poor and subsoil sites, a low nitrogen fertilizer such as 5 -10 -10 may be required • If required, apply any necessary soil amendments, then drill or broadcast the seed mix . • The Iarger cover crop grains can be sown separately first and covered lightly to prevent loss of seed from wildlife such as turkeys and doves. • The rest of the seed mix should then be sown, but not coverers with soil It is better to firm the small seed into the soil than to try to cover it. • Culti -pack conventional seedbeds to ensure good seed -to -soil contact Tracked sites will fill in on their own from rainfall • Apply straw mulch at a minimum of 15 bales per acre to help enhance soil moisture as well as hold the soil in place until the seed germinates Use higner rates as site conditions warrant, Page 5 28 May 2013 Binks Solar Array DENR Proj6ct No 13 -0417 If the site calls for it, biodegradable natural fiber matting is recommended over plastic matting or matting that contains strands of plastic that can entrap small animals Install last, over the seed and straw Monitor the site until the perennial grass component is fully established Mature stands of the Basic Mix are short- statured and will not require mowing The seeded mix should persist for many years, but will eventually yield to developing successional species in the seed bank- Adding Native Species • Some projects specify a preference for native plant species or actually require their use Native wildflowers and grasses can be added to the Basic Mix to beautify and diversify the site, and provide food and cover for wildlife such as wild turkey, bobwhite quail, and songbirds • The following table contains native species that are easy, proven performers that have been used successfully on stream restoration areas as well as drier upland sites The four wildflowers will come on well the first yeas, the three grasses may take two to three years to develop good sized clumps. • These seeds arc reasonably priced as natives go and can be ordered from a reputable seed dealer.
