Glint and Glare Analysis Analysis EXHIBIT 24 Excelsior Energy Center, LLC Page ii Excelsior Energy Center Exhibit 24: Visual Impacts 24(a) Visual Impact Assessment This Exhibit will track the requirements of Stipulation 24, July 6, 2020, and therefore, the requirements of 16 New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) §1001.24. To determine the extent and assess the significance of the visibility of the Project, a Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) has been conducted (see Appendix 24-1). The VIA includes both quantitative and qualitative identification of visually sensitive resources, viewshed mapping, confirmatory visual assessment fieldwork, visual simulations (photographic overlays), and proposed visual impact mitigation. Exhibit 24 provides an abbreviated version of the VIA and addresses the issues presented herein. Please refer to the full VIA in Appendix 24-1 of the Article 10 Application for greater detail. The Excelsior Energy Center (the Project) will have a generating capacity of 280 megawatts (MW) in addition to a storage capacity of 20 MW/4-hour duration energy storage system. The Project will be located on land leased and/or purchased from owners of private property in the Town of Byron, Genesee County, New York. Proposed Project Components include commercial-scale solar arrays, access roads, inverters, fencing, buried electric collection lines, energy storage system, and electrical interconnection facilities. The Project also includes a proposed collection substation and interconnection facilities to be located on land within the Project Area adjacent to the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) 345-kilovolt (kV) Line #DH2 between Niagara and N. Rochester substations. The proposed interconnection facilities will include a 345-kV switchyard, which will be transferred to NYPA to own and operate. Figure C.200 in Attachment 1 of Appendix 24-1 shows the site plan. Solar Arrays The Project proposes to install a tracker-racking system. As the technology is rapidly evolving for solar panel technology, and market conditions at the time procurement decisions need to be made are unknown at this time, the Applicant is proposing in the Article 10 Application to evaluate both tracking and fixed racking systems, with the final decision to be made and detailed in the Compliance Filing. However, for the purposes of assessing visual impacts, the VIA analyses and discussion focuses on the tracker layout, which has the higher aboveground height of the two systems and evaluates EXHIBIT 24 Excelsior Energy Center, LLC Page 1 Excelsior Energy Center the worst-case scenario. The tracker system in all analyses is set at 13 feet above ground surface (height at maximum tilt). The tracking system to be utilized would be similar to the Gamechange Solar Genius TrackerTM, specification sheets of which have been included in Appendix 2-1 of Exhibit 2. Regardless of the type of array racking system ultimately selected for the Project, the Applicant intends to utilize a solar module similar to the Jinko Solar Eagle 72HM G2 380-400 Watt Mono Perc Diamond Cell. Specification sheets for this module as well as the tracker system has been included in Appendix 2-1 of the Application. Project Collection Substation The 34.5-kV collection lines within the Project Area will gather power from the solar arrays and transport it to a new collection substation that will step up the voltage to 345 kV. The collection substation will be located adjacent to solar panels off of Batavia Byron Road (CR 19A). (1) Character and Visual Quality of the Existing Landscape The Project is in the Town of Byron, New York and is located in the northeastern part of Genesee County. The Visual Study Area (VSA) is a 5-mile radius around the fence line of the solar arrays and includes Genesee and Orleans Counties. As a result of the larger Study Area under consideration, a number of additional towns are included over that of the Project location in Byron, New York. Distance Zones are assigned within the VSA as required by Article 10. Currently, Distance Zones of 0.5 miles, 2 miles, and 5 miles are proposed. The towns within the VSA include: Towns Within 0.5-Mile Distance Zone: Byron, Elba, and Stafford. Towns within 2-Mile Distance Zone: Batavia, Bergen, Byron, Elba, LeRoy, and Stafford. Towns within 5-Mile Distance Zone: Batavia, Bergen, Byron, Elba, LeRoy, and Stafford; City of Batavia; and Villages of Bergen, Elba, and LeRoy in Genesee County; and Towns of Barre, Clarendon, and Sweden in Orleans County. The Project is in the Erie-Ontario Lowlands and Finger Lakes Region Major Land Resource Area. The northern half of the VSA is within the Erie-Ontario Lowlands Physiographic Province, while the southern half lies within the Allegheny Plateau. These province demarcations are influenced EXHIBIT 24 Excelsior Energy Center, LLC Page 2 Excelsior Energy Center in part by terrain. Within the VSA, terrain elevations trend higher from north to south as one moves from the Erie-Ontario Lowlands to the Allegheny Plateau. Elevations within the entire VSA from the Project out to 5 miles range from 565 to 1,000 feet mean sea level (msl). However, elevations over the entire site where arrays are located only range from 605 to 755 feet msl. Within Distance Zone 1 elevation changes are moderate ranging from 590 feet to 796 feet msl. Byron is included in most of Distance Zone 1. In Distance Zone 2 between 0.5 and 2 miles, which still includes much of Byron, elevations range from 577 to 914 feet msl with elevations trending higher to the south generally in Elba, Batavia, and Stafford. Elevation ranges in Distance Zone 3 between 2 and 5 miles are from 565 to 1,000 feet msl where terrain is highest in the Towns of Batavia, Stafford, and LeRoy and the City of Batavia. The landscape in the VSA and in the central portion where the project is located is primarily a rural mix of

  • Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
    Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data. Lodges in blue are or were in Genesee County.

  • Zufall,William R-The Morgan Affair
    The Morgan Affair – By William R. Zufall THE MORGAN AFFAIR / ANTI-MASONIC EXCITEMENT By R.E. William R. Zufall Illustrations added by rhm In March of 1798, a New England minister named Jedediah Morse preached a sermon against Masonry, based on a Scottish book entitled, “Proof of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the Secret Meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and others”. Although written by a well-known educator, the book confuses several dissimilar societies, and makes statements not based on fact. Nonetheless, the Rev. Morse repeated these charges in his sermon, and then printed it in a pamphlet which was widely circulated in New England. Other ministers followed Morse's lead and organized an anti-Masonic crusade. As early as 1809, the Quakers warned their members not to join Freemasonry. In January 1821, the Pittsburgh Synod of the Presbyterian Church condemned Freemasonry as “unfit for professing Christians”, and two years later the General Methodist Conference prohibited its clergy from becoming Masons. We must realize that many good and honest men believed they had valid reason to fear and oppose Freemasonry. When a body of men are known to meet behind closed doors, are said to have secret ‘oaths’, and have members holding important posts in the state and nation, a nation less than 50 years old, the uninformed understandably fear the possible control of government by such secret societies and its menace to democracy. Perhaps more significantly, many clergymen resented the universal character of Masonry with its acceptance on an equal basis, of not only all Christian denominations, but non-Christian religions as well.

  • The Eighth Decade
    1871-1880 The Eighth Decade Overview Batavia’s location on major railroad lines began to pay off in the eighth decade. The first manufacturing plant attracted by superior access to railroads, the Wiard Plow Company, moved to Batavia in 1876. More information about this company is in the following section titled, “Factories/industries.” The community continued to experience significant growth. According to the Federal census, by 1880 there were 4,845 residents (“Genesee County Information,” Richmond Memorial Library, online, accessed 3 January 2014). This was an increase of nearly 1,000 persons over a period of 10 years. NOTE: In this chapter, the two preceding ones, and the chapter that follows, alert readers may often notice citations for a source with a publication date that seemingly precedes the events for which the citations are given. That source is “William Seaver, A Historic Sketch of the Village of Batavia (Batavia, N.Y.: William Seaver & Son, 1849).” The dates at issue are those for 1850 and later. As mentioned in the introduction to this book, there are two publications in the local history collection of the Richmond Memorial Library with the above author, title, publisher, and date. However, one is actually the work of David Seaver, son of William Seaver, who was updating his late father’s work at the time of his own death in 1892. In order to distinguish between these two publications, the numerals “1” and “2” follow the author’s stated name in the citations. 1: Infrastructure In the eighth decade, the streets in Batavia were still unpaved.
