Join us and our partners at VHB at ACEC of Vermont’s 6th Annual Environmental Protection Technical Workshop. Encore’s Kate Desrochers will join VHB’s Tim Upton and Lydia Lee to discuss the transformation of former junkyard fields that once contained solid waste, salvaged materials, tires, drums, tanks, and contaminated soil into a 2.1-megawatt (MW) community solar array known as Salvage Yard Solar.
The presentation will provide an overview of the environmental studies required for the Section 248 process, highlighting the unique challenges inherent in the redevelopment of a junkyard facility with several recognized environmental conditions (RECs). It will also include a discussion on how the findings of environmental assessments and investigations informed the development of a soil management plan, which allowed mitigation of contaminated soil to occur concurrently with the construction of the solar facility.
