Broader Project Acreage—Not Phase-Specific

Aug 22, 2023

The Fresno County CUP 3555 approval materials describe a project footprint of approximately 4,089 acres. A later County reclamation-amendment record (2023) describes approximately 2,070 acres for the second phase. Neither record allocates acreage specifically to Scarlet I/EIA asset 64908.

The 4,089-acre figure appears in the County's CUP 3555 approval materials and CEQAnet filing. The 2,070-acre figure appears in the 2023 reclamation-agreement amendment for a later phase. These are broader project or phase-specific records and must not be merged with the 1,600-acre operating-plant description as if they were the exact EIA-plant footprint.

Emissions Controls And Air Permitting

2021

Air-quality controls include mitigation for NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 during construction and decommissioning and PM10 during operation and maintenance. The applicant must submit an SJVAPCD Rule 9510 applicability/AIA package, and emergency-generator equipment may require a Rule 2201 operating permit.

The County EIR and findings require proof of compliance with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's Rule 9510 before grading permits and identify Rule 2201 as potentially applicable to sufficiently large emergency generators or fire-water-pump engines.

Environmental-Compliance Milestone

2021

County approval requires a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, a conditions-compliance matrix, and third-party monitoring. The developer must pay associated monitoring and County staff costs.

The CUP 3555 staff report states that the County must retain a third-party monitor to implement the mitigation and conditions program and that the developer must fund the monitoring and compliance activities.

Land Use And Zoning

2021

The project site is identified as dry farming and is zoned AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural with a 20-acre minimum parcel size.

CEQA and County planning records identify present land use as dry farming and the zoning designation as AE-20.

Site Acreage—Phase Attribution Caveat

Jul 17, 2024

1,600 acres is reported by San José Clean Energy as the plant size, but the source does not allocate that acreage exclusively to Scarlet I. EDP identifies the overall Scarlet Solar Energy Park as two phases, so the acreage should not be treated as a Scarlet I-only parcel total.

San José Clean Energy describes Scarlet Solar as a 1,600-acre plant while separately describing its contracted portion as 100 MW of solar and 10 MW of storage. The broader Scarlet Solar Energy Park has two phases (Scarlet I and Scarlet II), so acreage attribution requires phase-level clarification.
