Document Description
This project consists of a 1.25 MW AC floating solar photovoltaic array utilizing approximately 2,160 solar panels mounted on a buoyant racking system inside an active, man-made agricultural canal. It serves to generate 2.5 GWh of clean energy annually, reduce local water evaporation, and minimize nuisance algal blooms. The primary beneficiaries are local electrical consumers who gain grid capacity relief, alongside Reclamation District 108 through sustainable infrastructure enhancements.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Guidelines § 15301 (Class 1), Guidelines § 15303 (Class 3), and Guidelines § 15304 (Class 4).
Reasons for Exemption
The project qualifies for exemptions because it places solar facilities over an existing, highly modified agricultural canal without expanding capacity or changing its primary water conveyance purpose. Comprehensive environmental screening confirms no exceptions apply; the project resides entirely within a heavily disturbed utility corridor and implements strict protocols to ensure zero significant impacts on regional wildlife like the Giant Garter Snake.
