Alameda County Board Approves Aramis Solar Project

Opposition groups are planning litigation. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors held the 10-hour hearing on March 4, ultimately going forward with the controversial project presented by applicant Intersect Power. The solar development, proposed for agricultural land in North Livermore along Cayetano Creek, is set to cover 350 acres with solar panels and battery storage. The hearing followed the Board of Zoning Adjustmentsâ (BZA) decision in November to recommend approval of the project. Three project opponents â Save North Livermore Valley (SNLV), Friends of Livermore, and Friends of Open Space and Vineyards â filed appeals. The fourth to appeal was applicant Intersect Power itself, taking issue with the BZAâs conditional-use permit (CUP) requirements. The supervisors denied all four appeals.

Company unveils new habitat conservation plan for Livermore solar project

Intersect s turnaround shows the important role that wildlife agencies and local volunteer experts like myself play in keeping companies honest, Swaim added on Wednesday. Had watchdogs not sounded the alarm about the proposed project s serious environmental damage, the company would not have compensated for the loss of important, threatened native Californian species and their habitats. Intersect Power officials, as well as supporters such as the local Sierra Club chapter, argue that the location and positioning were carefully chosen with habitat protection in mind. The Aramis project site was selected on its particular plot of land because of its low potential for harm to sensitive species and its high potential for local benefits, Mitchell said.

Environmental Groups Join Opposition to Aramis

REGIONAL â The Alameda Creek Alliance and Ohlone Audubon Society recently joined other environmental organizations in opposing the Aramis Solar Energy Generation and Storage project proposed for agricultural land in North Livermore, along Cayetano Creek. The Alameda Creek Alliance opposes the Aramis industrial solar plant, which is poorly sited. It would occupy land immediately adjacent to Cayetano Creek, which is designated as Water Management land under the Alameda County zoning code,â stated Jeff Miller, Alameda Creek Alliance president. âSolar projects are not permitted on Water Management land. The Aramis project would be detrimental for Cayetano Creek and set a bad precedent allowing further industrial-scale development next to creeks in other rural areas of Alameda County.
