Purpose of the meeting
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) formed an ad hoc workgroup to assist in developing regulations regarding criteria to determine mitigation strategies for a significant adverse impact to prime agricultural soils or forest lands as a result of a proposed solar project that is a small renewable energy project.  This workgroup will also assist in developing criteria for an applicant of a solar project to address in a plan to mitigate any significant adverse impacts to soils and lands.
