We had the second zoning meeting, full township. Some people that couldn't make the first meeting,
worried about erosion on the hill under the panels (rain is common in IL). Grass doesn't grow so
well shaded by panels, I have to be careful of this myself, give up work when things get muddy.
The array plan is to drive steel stakes, no concrete. I wonder if the outfit from CA planning this,
understands how much difficulty the limestone here can cause?
Its now clear that a new 3 phase 33 KV feeder would be required for the array just over the hill. At
least this should keep awful transients off our local 12KV single phase line.
The township this time voted a recommendation NOT to approve either zoning. On to the county
board meeting in a couple days. Bruce Roe
