The Waldoboro Planning Board approved an 18.66-acre community solar farm on Controversy Lane, with several conditions, after hearing concerns from neighborhood residents Wednesday, Jan. 20.
Syncarpha is proposing to build the 4.95-megawatt, ground-mounted installation on a 78.87-acre site. The impact of construction equipment on four private roads and residents’ access to the site for recreation were among residents’ concerns.
According to Syncarpha, the project will avoid wetlands, there will be no substantive earthwork or significant changes to topography, and erosion control measures will protect water quality.
