1.0 INTRODUCTION
Greens Corners Solar LLC (the Applicant) is proposing to construct the Greens Corners Solar Facility, an approximately 120-megawatt alternating current (MWAC) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generation facility in the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown, Jefferson County, New York (the Facility) (Figure 1). The Facility, proposed primarily west of Interstate 81 and southwest of the City of Watertown with an area totaling approximately 2,656 acres (Figure 2), will consist of solar arrays sharing some project features such as the site roads and the electrical interconnection to the utility grid. Not all the land included in the parcels will be included in the final Facility footprint; however, the project parcels in Figure 2 represent the general area within which selected areas will be developed with solar arrays.
As discussed below, the Applicant is a power producing company dedicated to the development and operation of renewable energy power stations including wind, hydroelectric, thermal, and solar facilities. The Applicant values its relationship with local stakeholders and intends to conduct public outreach to educate interested parties. The purpose of this Public Involvement Program (PIP) Plan is to introduce the Facility to the local community and other interested parties and to explain the public outreach and involvement efforts that the Applicant will pursue throughout the development of this Facility.
Given the proposed size of the Facility, it is considered a “major electric generating facility” under Article 10 of the New York State Public Service Law (PSL). Article 10 provides for the siting review of new major electric generating facilities in New York State (NYS) by the Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment (the Siting Board) in a unified proceeding instead of requiring a developer of such a facility to apply for numerous state and local permits. The PIP Plan is an important part of this process. The information that the Applicant receives through its public outreach program will assist in defining the scope of the studies that will ultimately form the basis of the Article 10 Application to the Siting Board. Throughout this process, stakeholder concerns, interests, local knowledge, and recommendations will be evaluated, addressed, and considered, where applicable and appropriate, by the Applicant.
In addition to Article 10, the Siting Board has also adopted regulations that must be followed in developing such a project.1 The Siting Board’s regulations require that project sponsors proposing to submit an Article 10 Application to construct a major electric generating facility under Article 10 initiate the regulatory review process by first submitting a draft PIP Plan. Under the Siting Board’s regulations,2 the PIP Plan must be submitted to the New York State Department of Public Service (NYSDPS) for review at least 150 days prior to filing a Preliminary Scoping Statement (PSS).
1 Copies of the Article 10 and Siting Board regulations can be found at: http://www3.dps.ny.gov/W/PSCWeb.nsf/All/1392EC6DD904BBC285257F4E005BE810?OpenDocument. 2 16 New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) § 1000.4
1 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512
This document describes the Applicant’s public outreach and involvement activities, which will be used throughout the Article 10 review process and is intended to serve as the required PIP Plan. The intent of this PIP Plan is to determine the interests and address the concerns of stakeholders as Facility development advances. Through this PIP Plan, the Applicant will: formally introduce the Facility; describe the Article 10 process to the local community, stakeholders, and other interested parties; outline future activities planned for sharing Facility-related information; and establish the means by which the public can participate in the stakeholder process by asking questions and providing comments.
More specifically, as required by the Siting Board’s regulations3, this PIP Plan includes the following components:
• Consultation with the affected agencies and other Stakeholders; • Pre-application activities to encourage stakeholders to participate at the earliest opportunity; • Activities designed to educate the public as to the specific proposal and the Article 10 review process, including the availability of funding for municipal and local parties; • The establishment of a website to disseminate information to the public and updates regarding the Facility and the Article 10 process; • Notifications to affected agencies and other stakeholders; and • Activities designed to encourage participation by stakeholders in the certification and compliance process.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 COMPANY PROFILE
The Applicant is headquartered in Canada and firmly established in the United States, and France as a developer of renewable energy power facilities including solar, hydroelectric, thermal, and wind. Founded in 1990 by a team of industry veterans, the Applicant’s team members developed and/or operate thousands of MWs of solar, wind, hydroelectric and thermal renewable energy projects, including several projects in NYS.
The Applicant owns and operates approximately 1,980 MW of renewable power plants globally, including seven hydroelectric projects in NYS, and more than a hundred in Canada and France. The Applicant has already been awarded 62 MW of Power Purchase Agreements by Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. in NYS.
2.2 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Facility is consistent with the New York State Public Service Commission’s proceeding implementing a Clean Energy Standard (CES), which supports the development of clean energy and renewable resources in NYS. The Facility will safely generate enough clean, renewable electricity to power over 30,000 New York households. The Facility will also provide a significant economic stimulus to the area during construction by providing jobs and local contracts for goods and services, and significant long-term economic benefits through lease revenue to local landowners and tax revenue to the community.
A critical factor for siting a solar facility is finding a transmission line with existing capacity to export the power from the Facility to the utility grid system without prohibitive cost or unacceptable environmental impacts. The Applicant will work closely with the utility company to determine the points of interconnection (POI).
Other important factors include the availability of open and appropriately oriented land, willing land lease participants, and minimization of impacts on sensitive wildlife habitat. The Applicant has conducted preliminary environmental screenings that have not indicated significant wildlife habitat or other environmental or cultural resources that would preclude development of the Facility.
The lands that are being evaluated for potential solar development are located in the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, and are identified on Figures 1 and 2 as the “Facility parcel boundaries.” The Facility will ultimately be sited within the approximately 2,656-acre project parcels area, which consists primarily of agricultural land. Not all of the land included in this area will be included in the final Facility footprint. Rather, the Facility Area represents the broader area within which selected areas will be developed with solar facilities. This provides flexibility during Facility development to minimize and avoid impacts to wetlands, cultural resources, visual resources, wildlife habitat, and other sensitive resources. The Applicant will be leasing land from private landowners, which will provide a stable and predictable revenue stream without having to sell the property.
The Facility will use the same type of PV panels installed on over one million homes in the United States. Solar equipment is a proven, safe technology in applications such as ground-mounted installations in fields, fixed rooftop
5 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512 installation on homes, schools, and businesses, as well as canopy installation in carport areas. The PV panels for the proposed Facility will be ground-mounted on a low-profile racking system that will have a small post footprint, typically consisting of small I-beam posts driven into the ground. The Facility will consist of the following components:
• A solar field of PV panels producing direct current (DC) electricity mounted on fixed-tilt racking structures or single-axis tracking structures that will follow the sun throughout the day; • Inverters placed throughout the Facility to convert DC electricity to AC electricity; • A medium voltage cable collection system that will aggregate the AC output from the inverters; • An on-site substation where the Facility’s electrical output voltage will be combined and increased to the transmission line voltage of 115 kilovolt (kV) via step-up transformers and connected to the existing on- site utility transmission line; • Internal infrastructure including access roads and fencing; and • Temporary laydown areas for equipment staging during construction. In addition, the Facility may incorporate energy storage in the form of batteries and associated technical equipment. If the Facility incorporates energy storage, it is anticipated to host an approximately 1-acre footprint and be located adjacent to the determined POI.
The Facility will have a nameplate capacity of approximately 120 MW (AC) and is expected to generate approximately 274 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy annually4. According to the greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator on the United States Environmental Protection Agency website5, solar generation of 274 GWh of energy is equivalent to a carbon offset of approximately 193,759 metric tons of carbon dioxide. This will be enough electricity to meet the average annual consumption of over 30,000 New York households, based on the average annual electric consumption of 6.9 megawatt-hours (MWh) per household in New York State for 2017 (EIA 2018). Solar energy is most beneficial during the summer demand to meet air conditioning loads. Since solar energy generation uses no fuel, it offsets additional air pollution from burning fossil fuels.
The Facility will have positive impacts on socioeconomics in the region through local employment and service opportunities, specifically by generating temporary construction employment, a significant amount of which is expected to be drawn from County and the regional labor market. Based on scaled estimates provided for a similar large utility-scale solar project in upstate New York, the project will require a workforce equivalent of approximately 100 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs during the construction phase. The Applicant’s approach to contracting will have a preference toward local hiring, with future job fairs to be held as the Facility enters the construction phase to support that objective. Local construction employment will primarily benefit those in the construction trades, including equipment operators, truck drivers, laborers, and electricians. Facility operation and maintenance activities will generate annual fees some of which will be local part-time employment and contracting
4 Based on the 2018 annual solar photovoltaic capacity factor (26.1%) presented in Table 6.7.B. of the U.S. Energy Information Administration Electric Power Monthly June 2019. 5 https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator
6 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512 service opportunities for electricians, operations managers, laborers, fencing contractors, and landscaping maintenance crews. It is estimated that the project will require a workforce equivalent of between two to five full- time employees for the operation and maintenance phase of the project. The Facility will also result in increased revenues to county and local municipality tax bases (payment in lieu of taxes [PILOT] negotiations will begin shortly), purchase of local supplies and goods, and lease revenues to participating landowners. Though the PILOT amount is still under negotiation, it is reasonably anticipated to represent over a million dollars in revenue for local governments over the lifetime of the project (35 to 55 years).
Through deliberate site selection, followed by careful planning and design, and by the environmentally benign nature of the technology, the Facility will have minimal impacts on the surrounding community. Solar facilities have no direct air or wastewater emissions, are very quiet, and generate no vibration. The PV panels proposed for the Facility have a low height profile. Setbacks, fencing, and landscape buffering allow solar projects to have minimal visual impact on the community and natural setting of the area.
Responsibly sited solar facilities can provide a net benefit to the preservation of agricultural land. The nature of the Facility design avoids extensive disruption to the agricultural quality of the soil and thereby allows the land to be returned to its former use after the useful Facility life. Therefore, the land is not permanently lost to development, but temporarily converted to another productive and beneficial use. The Facility essentially provides a form of preservation for agricultural land by preventing other forms of traditional development and preservation of the farmland by improving soil quality with appropriate ground cover planting and maintaining permeable land surface. Additionally, a dual-use solar installation would allow simultaneous use of the land for renewable energy generation and agricultural uses such as growing crops or livestock grazing (i.e. “agrivoltaics”).
Solar projects generally have a useful life of up to 55 years. The Applicant will provide a decommissioning plan in the Article 10 Application that is in accordance with the Siting Board’s regulations. The Applicant is also exploring ways to incorporate agricultural-promoting features into the Facility such as pollinator-friendly seed mixtures for revegetation following construction.
2.3 STUDY AREA
The Siting Board’s regulations define the Study Area to be used for analysis of major electric generating facilities as “an area generally related to the nature of the technology and the setting of the proposed site.”6 A solar generating facility does not have any prominently visible components. The tallest components of the generating portion of the proposed Facility will be the PV panels and inverter equipment, which have a relatively low profile, and are not expected to be more than 10-15 feet above grade, less than a single-story residence. Therefore, the nature of the technology is such that visibility is anticipated to be relatively limited to those areas located adjacent or very close to the Facility Area.
6 16 NYCRR § 1000.2(ar)
7 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512
With respect to setting, the Facility Area is sited in an agricultural and residential mixed area and adjoins industrial and manufacturing districts. The area is characterized by rolling topography, with gently sloped areas transected by small streams and/or wetlands in the low-lying areas between elevated landforms. The Taylor Concrete facility is adjoining the Facility Area in an industrial district to the north. The Watertown International Airport is located approximately 0.8-mile northwest of the Facility Area. Existing land use in the vicinity includes a mix of industrial, agricultural production, rural residential development, and sparsely forested areas. The Watertown city limits and the CSX railyard are each approximately 1-mile northeast of the Facility Area. Based on the Facility’s geographic location and anticipated low profile, the Facility should not be visible from nearby, more densely populated areas. Each portion of the Facility will be surrounded by fencing.
It is important to note that, with the exception of some on-site roads and substation areas, the majority of the Facility components will not create impervious surfaces within the Facility Area, but rather will allow rainwater to fall to the ground through gaps between each row of panels. Additionally, the Facility will not generate excessive noise or air emissions of any type.
Therefore, due to the nature of the technology and the setting specific to this proposed Facility, the Applicant proposes a 2-mile radius Study Area from (and including) Facility components, which includes the host Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown. Figure 3 depicts the 2-mile radius Study Area extending from the Facility Area. Municipalities within this Study Area include the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown, the City of Watertown and portions of the Towns of Brownville, Rodman and Adams, all of which lie within Jefferson County. The Applicant will consult with and provide additional information to NYSDPS Staff during the development of the PSS for the purpose of considering increases to the Study Area for certain studies, such as potential Facility visibility and the historical resources assessment.
The PSS and Article 10 Application will further define and describe the Study Area. For the purposes of the PIP Plan, the Study Area has been conservatively defined based on a Facility Area that is larger than the ultimate footprint of the Facility. As the Article 10 process continues, specific Facility component locations will be identified through the PIP Plan provided herein.

3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS
A first step in the public outreach process for the Facility is to determine the stakeholders that may be affected by construction and operation of the Facility. Identification of specific stakeholders for the Facility is informed by past experience and utilizes NYSDPS guidance, review of New York State Geospatial Information System (GIS) records, tax records, personal visits, and internet research. Additionally, the Applicant considered the following in compiling its list of affected agencies and other stakeholders:
• The anticipated locations of Facility components within the Facility Area; • The POI with the utility grid; • “Local Party,” as defined in the Siting Board’s regulations (16 NYCRR § 1000.2(s)); • “Affected Agencies,” as that term is used in the Siting Board’s regulations (16 NYCRR § 1000 et seq.); • Host Municipalities, which for the purposes of this PIP Plan, refer to those municipalities that are currently within the Facility Area and are anticipated to host Facility components (to be determined and further described in the PSS); • Public interest groups; and • State and federal elected officials representing the Host Municipalities and, if different, other municipalities within the Study Area.
The Master List of Stakeholders, which includes known, potentially interested stakeholders and parties, will be developed based upon the combination of efforts described above (see Exhibit A). The Applicant anticipates that the Master List of Stakeholders will be updated as necessary based on information and requests from interested stakeholders received during PIP activities. In addition, potentially affected or interested stakeholders include host landowners and who have a land agreement with the Applicant, as well as adjacent landowners, as defined in Section 3.6, and landowners who would normally be notified of a local Town land use action.
Sections 3.1 through 3.7, below, identify stakeholders by category.

3.6 HOST AND ADJACENT LANDOWNERS
Host landowners are landowners with whom the Applicant has entered (or will enter) into a lease or easement agreement. As defined in the Siting Board’s regulations,7 adjacent landowners are landowners with property within 500 feet of proposed Facility components. For the purposes of this PIP Plan, however, the Applicant is expanding the definition of adjacent landowners to include landowners with property within 2,500 feet of a solar collector array, or within 500 feet of other Facility components (e.g., collection lines, POI, operation and maintenance facility, etc.). Landowners who would typically be notified of local Town land use actions will also be included. The identities of potential host and adjacent landowners will be determined from county GIS records, tax records, and, if necessary, through personal visits by representatives of the Applicant.
The final Facility layout will be determined by considering further input from stakeholders, as well as processing data from fieldwork (e.g., avoidance of impacts to wetlands identified during field delineation efforts). Therefore, specific host and adjacent landowner information is not included with this PIP Plan. Participating and adjacent landowners will be included in mailings, outreach activities and notifications that are provided to the stakeholders identified in this PIP Plan and as the Facility progresses. However, for privacy purposes, the stakeholder list may include addresses or parcel numbers rather than landowner identification. A description of the Applicant’s property rights and interests will be provided in the PSS.8

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND LANGUAGE ACCESS
4.1 CLOSEST ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES
The Facility will also be subject to NYSDEC regulations for the analysis of environmental justice issues associated with projects subject to review and approval under Article 10 of the PSL.9
Per NYSDEC Environmental Justice Policy CP-29, Potential Environmental Justice Areas include census block groups featuring populations that meet or exceed at least one of the following statistical thresholds:
• At least 51.1 percent of the population in an urban area reported themselves to be members of minority groups; • At least 33.8 percent of the population in a rural area reported themselves to be members of minority groups; or • At least 23.59 percent of the population in an urban or rural area had household incomes below the federal poverty level.
Based on data obtained from the NYSDEC’s GIS Tools for Environmental Justice website (www.dec.ny.gov/public/911.html), there are no Potential Environmental Justice Area within the Study Area. Maps showing the Potential Environmental Justice Areas in Jefferson County and in the City of Watertown obtained from the NYSDEC website are provided in Exhibit B.
Further discussion on Potential Environmental Justice Areas will be provided in the PSS and the Article 10 Application pursuant to the Siting Board’s regulations.10
4.2 LANGUAGE ACCESS
The Siting Board’s regulations require a PIP Plan to identify: (1) any language other than English spoken by 5,000 or more persons residing in any 5-digit zip code postal zone in which any portion of such zone is located within the Study Area for the Facility; and (2) any language other than English spoken by a significant population of persons residing in close proximity to the proposed Facility, alternative locations or interconnections.11
The Study Area includes a portion of Jefferson County. According to the United States Census Bureau data from 2013 – 2017, 7.1% of Jefferson County residents age 5 or older speak a language other than English at home (US Census 2017). With a 2018 population estimate of 111,755 persons, this means approximately 7,934 people in the County speak a language other than English at home.

The Facility contact can be reached via email or phone during normal business hours Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Email inquiries will receive a same-day automated response acknowledging receipt of an interested party’s question or comment. A voicemail will collect calls received during out of office hours. This voicemail will be checked each business day (Monday through Friday). The Applicant intends to respond directly to applicable, substantive inquiries and comments submitted to the Facility contact, and will appropriately document the stakeholder’s issue. Received calls and comments will be responded to within three days of receipt. If documents are requested, a prompt response will be issued including an estimated mailing date of the requested materials.
Document repositories for the project will be located at the Flower Memorial Library in the City of Watertown and the Hay Memorial Library in Hounsfield. The Applicant does not propose establishing a local office at this time. Following the public open houses, the Applicant will re-evaluate and adjust, as necessary.
5.2 PROPOSED PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM PLAN
The Applicant’s proposed PIP Plan provides for communication with Host Municipalities, including the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown, and Jefferson County. The PIP Plan will be made available at the document repositories listed in Section 5.1 above. The Siting Board’s regulations provide that a PIP Plan must include:
• consultation with the affected agencies and other stakeholders; • pre-application activities to encourage stakeholders to participate at the earliest opportunity; • activities designed to educate the public as to the specific proposal and the Article 10 review process, including the availability of funding for municipal and local parties; • the establishment of a website to disseminate information to the public; • notification; and • activities designed to encourage participation by stakeholders in the certification and compliance process.12
It is anticipated that this will be an ongoing, evolving process throughout the phases of the Article 10 review process (pre-Application phase, Application phase, hearing and decision phase, and post-Certification phase), intended to disseminate information regarding the Facility to stakeholders, solicit information from those stakeholders during public outreach events, and generally foster participation in the Article 10 review. The Applicant will establish a user-friendly website in plain English that describes the Facility. This website will describe the Article 10 process and will provide Facility updates throughout the development and construction phases of the Facility to keep the community informed of the Facility’s status (see Section 5.6 below for additional detail). To the greatest extent possible, the Applicant will use electronic communication, through email, email blasts and the like, to communicate with the Master List of Stakeholders. Where requested, US mail will be used.
12 16 NYCRR § 1000.4(c)
18 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512
Additional outreach to host landowners and municipal officials will take place during decommissioning and restoration activities. Outreach will include a written notification submitted at least two weeks in advance of the commencement of decommissioning activities. Details will be provided in decommissioning plan, to be included in the Article 10 Application.
5.3 CONSULTATION WITH THE AFFECTED AGENCIES AND MUNICIPALITIES
Affected agencies, listed above in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, were identified through review of the Article 10 regulations in consultation with the Facility’s permitting counsel and environmental consultant. Affected municipalities are identified in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 above. Consultation with affected agencies and municipalities will include the following general steps:
• The Applicant will make initial contact with each agency or municipality to make certain they are aware of the Facility and inform them of the Article 10 process, including steps for intervenor funding, and provide information on who to contact with questions or comments about the Facility and/or about the Article 10 process; • Subsequent interaction with the agency or municipality, as needed, to identify stakeholder interests and concerns with the proposed Facility, and to answer specific questions about the Facility; • Regular consultation with applicable agency staff, as needed, during early development of the PSS; and • Other specific consultations as required by the Siting Board’s rules, or as needed to inform the process. Other consultations may include solicitation of input from stakeholders.
With respect to intervenor funding, the Applicant is required to deposit funds for intervenor participation. Funds are deposited with the NYSDPS at the time the pre-application PSS is filed in an amount equal to $350 for each 1,000 kilowatts (i.e., 1 MW) of generating capacity of the Facility, but no more than $200,000. Pre-application funds are dispersed to qualifying parties to aid in their participation in the scoping phase of this proceeding. Each request for pre-application funds are submitted to the presiding examiner assigned to the proceeding before the Siting Board, and at least 50% of the pre-application intervenor funds shall be reserved for potential awards to municipalities. Additional funds for intervenor participation will be deposited with the DPS at the time the Facility Application is filed in an amount equal to $1,000 for each 1,000 kilowatts of capacity, but no more than $400,000. Funds deposited with the Application may be used by parties for qualifying consultants and activities in the post-Application phase of the proceeding.
The goals of the initial consultation with each municipality or agency will be to consult with representatives, disseminate information, identify stakeholder interests and concerns, request information, and schedule follow-up meetings and/or consultations, as appropriate. Specific information provided to the affected agencies and municipalities will include a description of the Facility and location; explanation of the phases of the Article 10 process and how the agency or municipality can participate in each step; description of the available intervenor funding and the process for obtaining funding; description of the ad hoc committee process and local municipality responsibility; information about other planned consultations; and sources of additional information about the Facility and the Article 10 process (e.g., the Facility and Siting Board websites). Information to be requested from
19 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512 affected municipalities and agencies may vary by the involvement of each but may include topics such as local ordinances and regulations, emergency response contacts and procedures, environmental impact review, and determination of news sources to be used for official notices.
Stakeholder consultation meetings will be documented and summarized in the Meeting Log and Project Activity Log (Exhibit C). Concerns and questions raised by the public, as well as the Applicant’s responses, will be documented in the PIP Plan Tracking Report. This Meeting Log and Project Activity Log will be updated and provided to NYSDPS on a quarterly basis.
It should be noted that in accordance with the Siting Board’s regulations,13 public comments on the PSS are due within 21 days after filing with the Secretary to the Siting Board. The Applicant intends to engage municipalities, agencies, and stakeholders throughout the PIP Plan implementation process in order to identify their respective interests, and obtain information regarding particular resources, locations, concerns and recommendations of the affected communities, agencies, and interest groups. Prior to filing the PSS, this will be accomplished through a variety of methods, including direct correspondence, review of comments submitted through the website, and targeted meetings with some of the individual stakeholders identified herein.
5.4 PRE-APPLICATION ACTIVITIES TO ENCOURAGE STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION
The Applicant will engage in pre-application activities to encourage stakeholder participation. The Applicant will notify various State and local agencies (e.g. the Town of Hounsfield and Town of Watertown Supervisors). The Meeting Log (Exhibit C) will be regularly updated each quarter as consultations and stakeholder participation activities take place, and additional means of engagement are identified (as necessary). In addition, the Applicant has a Pre-Application meeting scheduled for October 3, 2019 with NYSDPS Staff, as well as NYSDEC and Ag and Markets in Albany to discuss the project and development of the PSS.
5.5 ACTIVITIES TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE PROPOSAL, PROCESS, AND FUNDING
The Applicant plans to attend one or more Town meetings, as appropriate, and are planning Applicant-sponsored public information sessions. The Applicant will be distributing educational materials, and will provide the Facility website, which will offer information on the proposed Facility, as well as links to and information on the Article 10 process, intervenor funding, and other important stakeholder issues. These efforts will allow the Applicant to engage with stakeholders regarding the proposed Facility and will offer multiple avenues of information distribution so that stakeholders and the public have multiple, varied opportunities to obtain information on the Facility and participate in the proceedings. These efforts are further detailed below. The Applicant has already met with the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown to introduce the proposed Facility and plans to attend board meetings in the City of Watertown, as appropriate. Exhibit C includes a summary meeting and public relationship log.
13 16 NYCRR § 1000.5(g)
20 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512
5.5.1 Public Meetings
The Applicant intends to hold open-house-style public meetings prior to submittal of the PSS and meetings following submittal of the Article 10 Application. The meetings will include several events likely held at different times on the same day (i.e. a daytime and an evening event) and on at least two different days of the week to provide ample opportunity to accommodate the work schedules of interested participants. Representatives for the Applicant will be present to provide Facility information and answer questions. It is anticipated that these meetings will be held at a public meeting space in reasonable proximity to the Facility Area. The public meetings will be announced through public notices in the Watertown Daily Times and the Jefferson County Pennysaver, two local newspapers in advance of the scheduled events. The Applicant will also mail notices of the Applicant-sponsored public meetings to adjacent property owners. Notification of public meetings held by the Applicant will also be mailed or emailed to residences and businesses within the Facility and Study Areas, as well as to the host and adjacent landowners and the List of Master Stakeholders in Exhibit A and updated as public engagement proceeds. The updated list will then be used for future mail and email notifications and the list will be further updated based on additional requests. In addition, meeting announcements will be posted on the Facility website. The Applicant will provide NYSDPS Staff with informal notice of scheduled public meetings. After the Applicant has completed a mailing as described above, the Applicant will provide an affidavit stating that it used its stakeholder list including host and adjacent landowners and will file a copy with the Secretary to the Commission. This applies to mailings, invitations and document submission notifications.
Facility outreach materials, including the invitations to the open houses will reference the Facility contact information, and will provide instruction on how the public can obtain additional Facility information, and how to be included as a stakeholder.
5.5.2 Educational Materials
The Applicant will develop educational materials to inform the public about solar energy, the proposed Facility, the Article 10 process, and intervenor funding. These materials will include poster-sized maps and graphics to be displayed at public meetings. Additional materials (e.g., factsheets and brochures) will be distributed at public meetings, via local libraries and public gathering places, and/or in e-mailings to stakeholders and interested parties obtained through public meetings and the Facility website. Materials will be made available at the local repositories including the Flower Memorial Library in the City of Watertown and the Hay Memorial Library in Hounsfield, and they will also be available on the Facility website.
These materials will allow the public to learn more about the Facility and will include links to the Siting Board and Facility websites. The materials will also reference the Facility contact information and will provide instruction on how the public can obtain additional Facility information, and how to be included as a stakeholder.
5.6 WEBSITE
Boralex has established a user-friendly website in plain English that describes the proposed Facility. The website URL is https://www.boralex.com/projects/greens-corners/. This website will provide information regarding the
21 Greens Corners Solar Revised Public Involvement Program Plan Case Number 19-F-0512

For example, notices will be posted to the website prior to various milestones and public meetings/outreach events.
The website will include:
• A Facility description; • Maps of the Facility, including the figures included in the PIP Plan until more detailed maps become available; • Facility benefits; • Summary of permitting requirements; • Links to the Siting Board Article 10 Public Information Coordinator, the Siting Board home page, and case- specific documents; • Information on the Article 10 process and opportunities for participation; • Summary of the Intervenor Funding process and how to apply; • Facility contact information, including email address and toll-free telephone number; • Copies of Article 10 and related licensing documents; • Addresses of local document repositories; • Link to request stakeholder status; • A schedule that lists dates/times/locations for outreach events and key milestone dates, such as when the Application will be filed; and • Reports summarizing the Facility’s PIP activities to date.
As indicated above, the website includes Facility contact information (email address and telephone number). Interested parties may request stakeholder status through the website. The Applicant intends to respond directly to applicable, substantive inquiries and comments submitted to the Facility contact, and will appropriately document the stakeholder’s issue. Email inquiries will receive a same-day automated response acknowledging receipt of an interested party’s question or comment. When feasible, a response will be sent within three days of receipt of the inquiry or comment. If documents are requested, a prompt response will be issued including an estimated mailing date of the requested materials.
5.7 NOTIFICATIONS
The Siting Board’s regulations establish the notification requirements for serving documents. The Applicant will publish required notices in the Watertown Daily Times and the Jefferson County Pennysaver and will also provide notice in accordance with standard notice requirements for actions of the Towns of Hounsfield and Watertown.14
No less than three days prior to filing the PSS and the Article 10 Application, the Applicant will: publish notice of submission in the Watertown Daily Times and the Jefferson County Pennysaver; serve each member of the State

An updated stakeholder list will be provided with the filings, including host and adjacent landowners and parties identified through the Applicant’s outreach efforts, as well as proof that the mailing has occurred.
The Applicant will publish other notices required by the Presiding Examiner or other section of Article 10 in the manner prescribed by the Presiding Examiner or under the procedures contained in Article 10.
5.8 ACTIVITIES TO ENCOURAGE STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION
The activities described above in Sections 5.1 through 5.7 will seek to encourage stakeholder participation during the Article 10 Certificate process. It is anticipated that this will be an ongoing, evolving process throughout the phases of the Article 10 review process (pre-application phase, application phase, hearing and decision phase, and post-certification phase).
The Applicant will track the PIP Plan and provide regular quarterly (or more often upon request) updates to the NYSDPS Staff.

Tom also noted based on his research of Boralex he felt Boralex has a positive and well-reputed persona as a developer.
Concerns noted by project abutter 1) Will there be notice provided to folks down-stream in the watershed, specifically Mill Creek? 2) Do solar panels contain heavy metals which could seep into the water sytem? 3) How will deer be managed? Generally a concern that the fencing of the project will limit deer activity and force more deer on to the roads, deer and car collissions are already a local concern. 4) Highlights that project is in an agricultural/single family residential area, however even a solar project with agricultural activities occuring is neither agriculture nor is it single family residential. 5) Generally feels these large projects as being incentivized by Cuomo should be in Dutchess County and generally downstate, not dumped in upstate.

Corners: Preservation, -Scale and adjacency to historic State Historic properties is an important factor. Preservation -Fixed vs single-axis tracker systems Office influences potential glare and visual studies -Views from adirondacks may be considered -SHPO views the Article 10 viewshed analysi as sufficient and typically does not require additional analysis beyond that assessment. SHPO may request local parks and public spaces as receptors for the visual study. -Nations are becoming more involved, more so the Onandaga and Senec, but not the Mohawk. -Under State law, developers work with Nations directly, but DEC or SHPO can serve as a tribal liason. -John does not expect Nations involvement in Greens Corner's area of Jefferson County. -SHPO involvement typically occurs when a developer has a survey and layout. -CRIS online database will show known SHPO sites. -In the past SHPO has asked for some layout shifting and/or mitigations including $ for local rual historic society funds, program funding assistance, or education marker furbishing and refurbishing. -A developers first submission in CRIS and NOI will start SHPO interactions. -John request that Article 10 projects include their DMM case number when creating a project in the CRIS database.
