SunPower Corp. 1 Major Comprehensive Plan Amendment


1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SunPower Corporation, Systems (SunPower) is requesting an amendment to the 2009 Pinal County Comprehensive Plan (Comprehensive Plan, or Plan) in order to construct and operate the proposed Picacho photovoltaic (PV) solar facility (Project) on approximately 2,776.90 acres of vacant land managed by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD). The Project site is located on parts or all of Sections 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35, and 36 of Township 9 South, Range 10 East with Parcel Number 410067000 (Appendix A).

The proposed Project will include a PV field with an expected electrical output of 400 megawatts (MW). The Project will require generation intertie (gen-tie) transmission lines and additional infrastructure including battery storage.

Paved rural roads provide access to the site and adjacent properties. East Park Link Drive divides the site while East Mona Road runs along the south side of the site. Interstate 10 (I-10) is located approximately 0.3 mile west of the site.

The amendment is needed to change the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the site from Moderate Low Density Residential to Green Energy Production Services for the Project site. Subsequently, granting a zoning district change from General Rural (GR) to Industrial (I-3) would allow development of the Picacho facility in a prime power generation area, which would provide power import to assist Arizona Public Service (APS) and Tucson Electric Power (TEP) in meeting their current and projected electrical demand of southeast Arizona and the Tucson metropolitan area. Because the regional grid has been operating at near capacity, additional infrastructure is needed to accommodate future electrical demand.

The Project will tie into the grid as early as 2020, and 2 to 4 years are expected to be needed for the scheduling, planning, design, and construction of the facility in several phases of build-out.

1.1 PROPOSED LAND USE

The Project site and land surrounding the Project site are currently designated as Moderate Low Density Residential. This application for proposed amendment is requested to change the land designation from Moderate Low Density Residential to Green Energy Production. The land use change would be consistent with supporting public utility infrastructure and energy uses including the APS Saguaro and TEP Tortolita Substations south of the Project site, and high-voltage transmission lines located near the eastern boundary of the site.

1.2 LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY

The Project site is located in the Sonoran Desert in west-central Pinal County (also referred to herein as “the County”) approximately 32 miles northwest of Tucson. The site consists of relatively flat, undeveloped Arizona State Trust land that is administered by the ASLD.

The Project site can be accessed from the I-10 frontage road via East Park Link Drive and East Mona Road. I-10 and the Union Pacific Railroad are located approximately 0.3 mile to the southwest of the site.



1.3 SITE SUITABILITY

Both the Project site and the region are well suited for the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The primary criteria for determining the location of the power generation facilities include the existence of compatible adjacent and nearby land uses, minimal topographic variability, and the proximity to existing electrical infrastructure, major transportation corridors, utility corridors, and electrical load centers.

1.4 PUBLIC SERVICES/UTILITIES

There are numerous electrical distribution lines, communication cables, and canals within the vicinity of the site (Figure 2). The Project site is less than 3 miles north of the current APS Saguaro Gas and Solar Power Plant and the TEP Tortolita Substation adjacent to the east side of I-10 and Union Pacific rail facilities. Immediately east of the site is a 500-kV transmission line.



2.0 PROJECT NARRATIVE

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This narrative report provides the required information to support the request for a Major Comprehensive Plan Amendment (MCPA) for the Project located in west-central Pinal County.

SunPower is requesting this amendment in order to construct and operate a solar power generating facility on the Project site. The proposed Project is expected to include a PV solar field with an expected electrical output of up to 400 MW. The Project will also require gen-tie transmission lines and additional project infrastructure including battery storage.

Should the MCPA receive approval from Pinal County, SunPower will apply for a zoning change from the Project site’s current GR zoning district to an Industrial (I-3) zoning district in order to allow for the development and operation of the solar generating facility.

Transmission lines of 115 kilovolts (kV) or greater are subject to Arizona’s Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Law, codified in Title 14, Chapter 3, Article 2 (R14-3-219) of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §40-360 et seq. An Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) will be required to allow construction and operation of Project because the proposed gen-tie lines connecting the solar facility to the existing substation will be greater than 115 kV. All required environmental studies and public scoping activities for the proposed Project will be incorporated into a CEC application pursuant to the requirements of ARS §40-360 et seq.

Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan will be necessary in order for ACC to grant the CEC. Completing Pinal County’s Comprehensive Plan Amendment process ensures Pinal County’s authority and opportunity for review prior to the CEC process. The public scoping process conducted as part of the Pinal County zoning district change application process will supplement the CEC public involvement requirements.

Changing the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the site from Moderate Low Density Residential to Green Energy Projection for the Project site, and subsequently granting a zoning district change from GR to I-3, would allow development of the Picacho facility in a prime power generation area, which would provide power import to assist APS and TEP in meeting their current and projected electrical demand of southeast Arizona and the Tucson metropolitan area. The regional grid has been operating at near capacity, and additional infrastructure is needed to accommodate future electrical demand.

Both the Project site and the region are well suited for the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The primary criteria for determining the location of the power generation facilities include the existence of compatible adjacent and nearby land uses, minimal topographic variability, and the proximity to existing electrical infrastructure, major transportation corridors, utility corridors, and electrical load centers.



The Project site location and layout are provided in Figures 1 through 3. The site is generally level and located less than 3 miles north of the current APS Saguaro Gas and Solar Power Plant and TEP Tortolita Substation adjacent to the east side of I-10 and Union Pacific rail facilities.

2.2 PHYSICAL SETTING, EXISTING USES, AND RELATIONSHIP TO

SURROUNDING LAND USES

The Project site is located in the Sonoran Desert in west-central Pinal County approximately 32 miles northwest of Tucson (Figure 1). The site consists of relatively flat, undeveloped Arizona State Trust land that is administered by the ASLD.

The Project area consists of land managed by the ASLD, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), and private land under the jurisdiction of Pinal County (Figure 1). Major features in the site area include the Central Arizona Project (CAP) Canal, I-10, Picacho Mountains, Picacho Peak State Park, Union Pacific Railroad, Saguaro Power Plant, a military training facility, and several existing transmission lines and local utilities (Figures 1 through 3). The area is a mixture of flat agricultural and desert/scrub land, small mountains (including the Picacho Mountains), and several ephemeral washes.

The Project site can be accessed from the I-10 frontage road via East Park Link Drive and East Mona Road. Immediately adjacent to the site in all directions is undeveloped land except for the CAP Canal that forms the southern and western boundaries of the site (Figures 1 through 3). Agricultural areas are located to the north of East Park Link Drive. I-10 and the Union Pacific Railroad are located approximately 0.3 mile to the southwest of the site. On the west side of I-10 is the unincorporated residential community of Red Rock. Picacho Peak State Park is located approximately 5 miles northwest of the site. There are no areas designated as Open Space within the proposed Project site, and the proposed Project would not impact known recreational areas.

The Project site is located in an area designated by the Comprehensive Plan as Moderate Low Density Residential. This designation intends to “provide for a larger lot development pattern with options for suburban residential pattern. Suitability is determined by location access, existing land use patterns and natural and man-made constraints” (Pinal County 2009). Areas designated as Moderate Low Density Residential are intended as suburban residential areas with an expected 1 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre.

As an alternative to the proposed Picacho site, SunPower evaluated the General Public Facilities/Services area located south of the community of Red Rock on the west side of I-10 and the railroad. The alternative site was not selected because of the following reasons related to spanning the gen-tie line across I-10 and the railroad to tie into the Tortolita Substation:

The lengthy and costly consultation and permitting process required by the FederalHighway Administration for utility crossings and encroachments on the National HighwaySystem and/or the Interstate Highway System.

The fact railroad companies enact their own rules regarding the issuance of permits fortransmission line crossings of railroad tracks while being immune to statutory deadlines toact on permit requests; SunPower is reluctant to work within a permitting process in whichthere is little control over schedule.



The logistics and costs of traffic control on both I-10 and the railroad during constructionand maintenance of the gen-tie line.



3.0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA

The SunPower-proposed amendment request conforms to the goals, objectives, and policies of the current Comprehensive Plan by meeting the criteria outlined in the Plan’s compliance checklist (Pinal County 2009, Appendix A): The following sections are written in response to the Plan’s compliance checklist:

Consistency with Pinal County’s Vision Components, and Consistency with the Plan’s Key Concepts

3.1 CONSISTENCY WITH PINAL COUNTY’S VISION COMPONENTS

The vison components of the Comprehensive Plan include Sense of Community; Mobility and Connectivity; Economic Sustainability; Open Spaces and Places; Environmental Stewardship; Heathy, Happy Residents; and Quality Educational Opportunities.

Sense of Community

Is the proposal consistent with the Sense of Community vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Sense of Community vision component. The Project site is located with the Moderate Low Density Residential land use (Pinal County 2009, Chapter 3). This designation allows medium to high density residential, commercial, and employment (office and light industrial) land uses. Adjacent parcels to the Project site are vacant except for the CAP Canal west and south of the site, and a transmission line along the east boundary of the site that ties into the Saguaro Gas and Solar Power Plant approximately 3 miles south of the site. The proposed amendment would be consistent with the Sense of Community vision described in the Plan by consolidating energy facilities in an area that contains similar and compatible land uses, as well as vacant land.

Mobility and Connectivity

Is the proposal consistent with Mobility and Connectivity vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Mobility and Connectivity vision component. Under the goals, objectives, and policies outlined in Chapter 4 of the Plan, the County will evaluate the transportation impacts of all proposed Plan amendments and rezoning on Pinal County’s regional transportation system. The proposed Project would have minimal impact on planned land uses from traffic because the operation of the solar facility will require fewer than six employees.

There would be a temporary increase in traffic volume during the construction phases due to delivery of equipment and supplies, and commuting construction workers. Existing roads and railroads are sufficient to accommodate the anticipated construction traffic.

Economic Sustainability

Is the proposal consistent with the Economic Sustainability vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Economic Sustainability vision component. The central theme of the Economic Development element of the Comprehensive Plan (Pinal County



2009, Chapter 5) focuses on the County’s ability to provide quality employment opportunities for its residents by setting specific goals, objectives, and policies. Two main goals that address this vision are:

1. Encourage a full range of quality jobs for County residents, and increase the jobs per capitaratio.

2. Encourage sustainable development consistent with the County’s environmentalpreservation philosophy.

The SunPower proposed amendment would promote economic diversity and employment opportunities in the area by providing direct and indirect employment during the construction and operation of the proposed Project. Additionally, power generated by the proposed facility could potentially support residential growth and job creation by providing clean, safe, affordable, efficient, and sustainable electricity to local communities and the region.

Open Spaces and Places

Is the proposal consistent with the Open Spaces and Places vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Open Spaces and Places vision component. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan Open Spaces and Places (Pinal County 2009, Chapter 6) is to promote the County’s quality of life by providing passive and active recreational opportunities, conserving existing natural and cultural resources for the benefit of present future generations.

There are no existing dedicated open spaces or recreational opportunities with the Project area. However, the Comprehensive Plan and Pinal County Open Space and Trails Master Plan (LSD 2007) (also referred to herein as “Master Plan”) indicate that the BOR intends to include a 10-foot-wide paved, non-motorized path adjacent to the CAP Canal located on the west and south boundary of the Project site. The proposed amendment is not expected to conflict with the proposed BOR trail, and would not be in conflict with the planned land use. During site development, SunPower would coordinate with the BOR to ensure that SunPower complies with all required setbacks from the canal. If necessary after discussions with the BOR, SunPower would also incorporate construction mitigation measures to ensure that construction activities do not interfere with the operation of the canal or visitor experience along the proposed pedestrian path.

Environmental Stewardship

Is the proposal consistent with the Environmental Stewardship vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Environmental Stewardship vision component. Having developed other solar projects in Pinal County, SunPower takes pride in incorporating environmental stewardship and conservation practices throughout the construction and operation phases of their projects and is committed to minimizing impacts to natural and cultural resources resulting from the proposed Project. SunPower places a high priority on intergovernmental and interagency communication and cooperation, and will develop the proposed Project in compliance with all county, state, and federal laws, regulations, and guidelines.

Solar energy generation conserves natural resources and minimizes water use. The conversion of farmland to solar power generation would reduce water use and reduce annual air quality issues



(dust associated with tilling). Minimization of water use and the use of renewable energy sources are both vision elements of the Comprehensive Plan (Pinal County 2009, Chapter 7). The addition of 400 MW of solar energy to the overall energy supply in the region will help to fulfill renewable energy goals.

Happy, Healthy Residents

Is the proposal consistent with the Happy, Healthy Residents vision component?

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Happy, Healthy Residents vision component. The vision articulated by county residents stresses Economic Sustainability, Sense of Community, Environmental Stewardship, Mobility, and Connectivity, and Heathy, Happy Residents as key components (Pinal County 2009, Chapter 8).

The proposed amendment would be consistent with this vision and would contribute toward the County’s goal of maintaining long term financial stability by generating revenues and contributing to the tax base, while providing clean, safe, affordable, and sustainable energy to the region.

3.2 CONSISTENCY WITH THE PLAN’S KEY CONCEPTS ILLUSTRATED ON

LAND USE, ECONOMIC, AND CIRCULATION GRAPHICS

The Comprehensive Plan includes Key Concepts (Pinal County 2009, Appendix A) that are illustrated on the Land Use, Economic, and Circulation maps.

Consistency with the Land Use Designation Shown on the Graphics

Land uses in the area surrounding the Project site are designated as Moderate Low Density Residential as indicated on the Land Use and Economic Development graphic (Pinal County 2009, Pg. 57). This application for proposed amendment is requested to change the land designation from Moderate Low Density Residential to Green Energy Production. The land use change would be consistent with supporting public utility infrastructure and energy uses including the Saguaro and Tortolita substations south of the Project site, and high-voltage transmission lines located near the eastern boundary of the site.

Consistency with the Mixed Use Activity Center Concept

The Project site is not located within a Mixed Use Activity Center. Two Mixed Use Activity Centers are located within 5 miles of the site. Picacho Peak State Park is located approximately 4 miles northwest of the site, while the Pinal Airpark is located approximately 4.5 miles southwest of the site.

Consistency with the Planning Guidelines Described in the Land Use Element

The Project is located within the West Pinal Growth Area, which is described in the Comprehensive Plan as the “heart of the Sun Corridor Megapolitan Area”, planned for urbanization bordering Native American communities with expansion of new housing and commercial development (Pinal County 2009, Pg. 3). The proposed amendment would contribute additional power generation and infrastructure within this Growth Area.

Quality Employment Opportunities County-Wide



The proposed amendment is consistent with the Economic Development element by providing quality jobs during the construction and operation of the facility.

Viable Agriculture, Equestrian and Rural Lifestyle

The proposed amendment would cluster utility development in an area that now supports existing utility uses, thus limiting impacts to agriculture, or sprawl. The site contains vacant land used for grazing.

Researchers have found that solar facilities can raise temperatures in their immediate environments by as much as 5.4 to 7.3 degrees Fahrenheit. The degree of this effect varies depending on the season. While the PV heat island effect is detectable during the day, significant warming was primarily during the evening hours because the PV panels require time to cool down after sunset. However, studies have indicated that the heat island effect is highly localized to within a 90-foot radius, beyond which the heat dissipates (Barron-Gafford, et al. 2016).

System of Connected Trails and Preservation of Open Space

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (Pinal County 2009, Chapter 6) and the Pinal County Open Space and Trails Master Plan (LSD 2007). The ComprehensivePlan’s vision is to site specific proposed open space and trails based on the suitability of activities,surrounding land uses, ecological factors, topography, viewsheds, and cultural resources. TheMaster Plan promotes quality of life of the region by providing areas of passive and activerecreational opportunities, while conserving existing resources such as natural scenic beauty, viewcorridors, wildlife habitat, agricultural resources designated at risk, and cultural heritage for thebenefit of present and future generations.

There are no existing dedicated open spaces, designated scenic resources, or designated view corridors within the Project area. However, in November 2015, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors approved the Master Plan for the Pinal County segment of the CAP National Recreational Trail (Pinal County 2016). Pinal County is currently working on an agreement with the BOR to implement the plan to construct the non-motorized, multi-use trail adjacent to the BOR Canal that bounds the site to the west and south.

The visual sensitivity of a landscape is affected by the viewing distances at which it is seen, such as up close or far away. The visual sensitivity of a landscape is also affected by the travel speed at which a person is viewing the landscape (high speeds on highway, low speeds on a trail, or stationary at a residence).

Highway and roadway users are primarily drivers of vehicles; at standard roadway speeds, their views are of moderate duration and they are fleetingly aware of their immediate surroundings. Roadway users would have low sensitivity to changes in the project area because passing landscape becomes familiar and their attention is typically focused on the roadway and traffic rather than on passing views.

The proposed Project will be visible from the summit of Picacho Peak, which is at an elevation of 3,370 feet above mean sea level (msl) (the site is at approximately 1,950 msl), and at a distance of approximately 4 miles northwest of the site. The developed recreational facilities of the park



(campgrounds, trailheads, and trail to summit) are located on the northeast side of the peak approximately 6 miles northwest from the Project site. The current view of the Project site from the summit of Picacho Peak shows a flat area of the desert that has been disturbed by grazing. Man-made features including I-10, the railroad, developed agricultural land, and an ostrich farm are located between Picacho Peak and the proposed facility. The proposed solar facility would be visible from the summit of Picacho Peak, and would contrast with adjacent vegetation. There are no feasible mitigation measures that can be implemented to preserve the existing landscape character while developing the proposed solar facility.

Pedestrians on the proposed CAP National Recreational Trail would be traveling at a slow pace and would be highly sensitive to changes in views. SunPower will install metal fence slats or similar view-screening materials as approved by Pinal County in all perimeter fencing adjacent to the CAP National Recreational Trail. Additionally, drought-tolerant plants, species to be determined through consultation with landscape experts and approval by Pinal County, will be planted along the fence at 500-foot intervals in areas adjacent to the CAP National Recreational Trail.

Site infrastructure related to the proposed Picacho Solar Project would consist of the PV panel arrays, a small (i.e., 20-foot by 30-foot) metal maintenance and office building, battery storage, a potential groundwater well, the gen-tie line, and a site boundary fence. Photographs and an energy production diagram of a typical PV solar facility are presented in Appendix B. While the precise design of panel systems varies by manufacturer and model and is subject to modification as technologies evolve, the photographs provide an accurate indication of the system that would be operated on the Project site. Panels would not exceed 10 feet in height; this gives the project a much lower profile than that of a single-story building. Rows of panels are spaced nearly 18 feet apart, allowing continued agriculture activity and wildlife movement between rows.

Natural Resource Conservation

SunPower has considered potential impacts of the proposed Project, and will mitigate any potential impacts to natural or cultural resources by minimizing ground disturbance where possible. Construction and operation of the Project will be compliant with all county, state, and federal laws, regulations, and guidelines.

SunPower will conduct detailed environmental studies, including pedestrian biological, cultural, and wetlands surveys for the site, and will prepare comprehensive reports. Based on preliminary review, the Project site is located in an area with minimal sensitive resources. Results of the preliminary review of the Project site are described below.

Biological Resources

Vegetation at the site is characteristic of the Lower Colorado River Subdivision of the Sonoran Desert Desertscrub biome (Turner and Brown 1982). The CAP Canal has influenced the vegetation conditions. Mesquite (Prosopis velutina) and creosote bush (Larrea tridentate) account for a large portion of the cover upslope of the canal.

Wildlife in the Project area is likely characteristic of the Desertscrub biome. Open areas with sparse or no vegetative cover, including those that have been disturbed or altered (the site is



currently heavily grazed), can also be important to some species of wildlife, notably the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia). The CAP Canal, I-10 and the frontage road, and the Union Pacific Railroad preclude the Project form having adverse effects on wildlife movement as these features are significant obstacles to movement.

Riparian habitat in the Project area is xeroriparian (extremely dry and lacking humidity and water). These riparian habitats are generally associated with an ephemeral water supply and are important habitat for migratory birds.

Sensitive species lists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) IPaC (Information for Planning and Consultation) were reviewed to determine if the site is within range of listed species. Table 1 provides a summary of the species that may occur at the Project site.

Prior to construction, SunPower will conduct a biological assessment and prepare a Biological Evaluation (BE) report to summarize findings for the Project. The BE will summarize any state or federally protected species that may occur or have the potential to occur within the Project area.

The BE will provide narrative descriptions of all protected species investigated and report whether suitable habitat was identified. SunPower will report any direct observations or evidence of protected species using the Project area, and all final determinations for each species will be based on expert opinion. SunPower will describe the dominant overstory and understory vegetation communities observed within the Project area and provide a plant list of common species observed within the project limits, including any non-natives. The BE will provide appendices for the following:

A summary of AGFD’s Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) andrecommendations,

A plant evaluation to summarize plant species present within the Project area that areprotected under Arizona Department of Agriculture’s Native Plant Law, and



A bird evaluation to summarize birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act andBirds of Conservation Concern that may have potential to be present within or use theProject area.

The Project will require clearance of all vegetation within the footprint of the facility. The ASLD requires mitigation for development projects that disturb Arizona State Trust Lands. The ASLD has a mitigation fee structure based on the number of damaged trees protected under the native plant law. SunPower will conduct a plant inventory based on ASLD protocols with subsequent reporting.

Cultural Resources

SunPower will conduct a Class III cultural resources survey of the Project site in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and State Historic Preservation Act.

SunPower will examine the AZSITE online database, which includes records from the Arizona State Museum (ASM) and Arizona State University, to determine the location of any previously conducted archaeological surveys or previously recorded archaeological sites within a 1-mile radius of the Project area. A cursory review of AZSITE indicates that approximately 20 previously recorded sites are within or very close to the Project site. Government Land Office maps and historic-age USGS quadrangle maps would also be consulted to evaluate the possible presence and location of historic features on the property.

Archaeologists will conduct a full pedestrian survey of the solar facility and the associated transmission line right-of-way following ASM and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) inventory standards and guidelines. Archaeologists will walk parallel transects spaced not more than 60 feet apart, recording all isolated occurrences and mapping and recording any archaeological sites identified in the Project area. This will include any historic buildings, structures, or features. A Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) who meets the National Secretary of the Interior’s professional standards will lead the fieldwork. SunPower will prepare a Class III survey report that meets ASLD, ASM, BOR, and SHPO standards.

Wetland Resources

SunPower will conduct a preliminary jurisdictional delineation within proposed disturbance corridors associated with the solar facility, transmission line, and access roads. Scientists trained and experienced in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) protocols for conducting routine wetland delineations will assess the Project area and determine the extent of wetlands and other Water of the U.S.

The National Hydrography Data, National Wetlands Inventory, aerial photography, and topographic maps will be used to prioritize locations of potential wetland areas for field assessment and to identify the connectivity of area drainage systems. The regional USACE Arid Supplement will be used to document characteristics of wetland hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils. Wetlands and other Waters of the U.S. will be delineated and avoided during all Project construction and operation activities.

Water Resources, Public Facilities/Services, and Infrastructure Support



Planned utilities and services on the site would include water and electricity. The Project is anticipated to use substantially less water than typical farmlands within the region. SunPower intends to either install a groundwater well or transport water to the site from a local source for the minimal site water demands and uses.

The Project is located in the northern part of the Avra Valley Sub-basin of the ADWR Tucson Active Management Area. If SunPower decides to install a groundwater well at the site, Tetra Tech will compile and assess available hydrogeologic data, including but not limited to:

ADWR 55- and -35 well records database ADWR Groundwater Site Inventory (GWSI) (water level and water quality) ADWR hydrographic maps and survey reports USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) (publications, water level and water

quality) Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) maps and reports

Tetra Tech will analyze the available hydrogeologic data to identify local aquifer conditions including:

Depth and direction of water movement Lithology and aquifer parameters Well yields Water quality

SunPower will also assess and identify all applicable groundwater supply permits and certificates required for the Project. Since the Project area is located on ASLD land within the boundaries of the ADWR Tucson Active Management Area (AMA), SunPower will be required to comply with ASLD and ADWR statutes and rules for developing a groundwater supply.

Development of the Project would not impact existing water quality or drainage features. The site would be designed to pass stormwater through or around the site and release it in a manner similar to existing conditions. SunPower will prepare a hydrologic analysis and hydraulic design for watersheds and drainage structures on the Project site that will include:

Site Hydrology – Develop site hydrology to determine flood peaks. Existing and Future Conditions Hydraulic Analyses and Mapping – Calculate the ponding

depth upstream of the CAP Canal using either 1-Dimensonal or 2-Dimensional floodplainanalyses.

Erosion Hazard Investigation – Identify locations where local vertical or lateral erosion islikely to occur and provide mitigation measures to reduce risks associated with suchhazards.

Based on the results of the hydrologic analysis, SunPower will coordinate with Pinal County to determine the need for a Floodplain Use Permit application.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office provides law enforcement services in the Project area. Both the Red Rock and Avra Valley Fire Departments serve the Project area. No new or additional public services resulting from the proposed amendment are anticipated.
