Applicant- Borrego Solar Systems, Inc. 55 Technology Drive Suite 102, Lowell, MA. Property owner - Lunenburg Solar LLC, 259 Turnpike Road Suite 100, Southborough, MA. The applicant was represented by Brandon Smith, Borrego Solar Systems, Inc. B. Smith noted items from the initial hearing that required the applicant’s action; to locate specific locations for potential vehicle washing and refueling on the plan. Peer reviewer Graves Engineering, Inc. (GEI) provided a June 19, 2020 review letter stating that all outstanding concerns had been satisfied. T. Cole asked if the detention basin w as going to be started during the initial phase of construction , prior to stumping, grubbing, and installing infrastructure. Borrego responded erosion controls w ould be in place prior to tree clearing, but permanent stormwater structures, e.g., basin, wo uld not go in until earth work as the area w ould need to be cleared for the basin. T. Cole’s concern was if all water was directed downhill toward the detention basin, the basin should be the first item in the earth work ===PAGE 2=== Minutes, 6-22-2020 190 Electric Avenue Page 2 process to provide for some sediment and detention control . Borrego noted the stump grindings w ould be used as additional erosion controls. M. Allison suggested adding to the S ite Inspection Protocol, Operation & Maintenance Department, that after every rain event the basin be inspected for excess sediment. Borrego responded a long term plan for post-construction clean out procedures was outlined in the SWPPP. Borrego’s goal was to ensure no sediment gets transported off site. M. Allison inquired as to a silt sack on the outlet pipe in the basin during construction and that until final stabilization, site inspections should be performed after every rain event to prevent siltation from exiting the flared end. Borrego noted the SWPPP already specifies inspections. T. Cole would like the basin carved out as a temporary sediment trap during the beginning of construction. As the Conservation Commission required third party monitoring, A. Burney suggested the Board have that individual r eview the stormwater controls while on site to ensure there aren’t area s of concern. Borrego wanted the Board to understand some grubbing w ould be n ecessary to get the access road in and access to the basin area. T.
