Application Narrative SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review Introduction SBR Solar, LLC (“Applicant”) is submitting this Land Use Change Permit application, Major Impact Review, for the development of a Large Solar Energy System on behalf of the property owner, Strait Bottom Ranch LLLP. The proposed project will be the third solar installation on this property, building upon the success of the two existing solar arrays that have been operational since 2022. The new project will be similar in appearance and operation to the existing facilities and will interconnect directly to Xcel Energy’s distribution lines, which currently run through the property. Energy generated by the project will provide cost savings to participating off-takers through one of Xcel Energy’s Distributed Generation Solar programs. SBR Solar, LLC has executed a long-term lease agreement with Strait Bottom Ranch LLLP to develop, construct, and operate the proposed solar facility. Land and Zoning The project site is located within unincorporated Garfield County, on a parcel zoned Rural. The property is situated just south/southwest of the Town of Parachute, between Interstate 70 and Old US Highway 6. The surrounding area consists primarily of vacant or undeveloped land. The nearest inhabited structure is located over 1,500 feet from the proposed project boundary. The site has historically been characterized by limited commercial use due to its soil conditions and topography, which have limited traditional agricultural operations to intermittent sheep grazing. In 2006 the property owner began developing energy facilities on site, first through leasing land for oil and gas extraction and storageand eventually adding solar development as well. Today, there are three active oil and gas well pads on site. In 2020, the property owner expanded this energy use by leasing land for the construction of two solar energy facilities, both of which are currently operational. The proposed project reflects Colorado’s evolving and diverse energy landscape, demonstrating the compatibility of multiple energy uses on a single site and the state’s leadership in advancing a balanced energy portfolio that supports both local economies and national energy independence. Permits As part of the development of this project, the Applicant expects to obtain the following permits, non-ministerial approvals, and consultations: Garfield County: Land Use Change Permit (Major Impact Review, Solar Energy System – Large) Army Corps of Engineers: Find of No Impact / No Jurisdiction; consultation ongoing Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: As needed SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review US Fish & Wildlife / Colorado Parks & Wildlife: Wildlife Impact Mitigation Strategy; consultation ongoing Garfield County: Fencing Construction Permit State of Colorado: Electrical Construction Permit Xcel Energy: Interconnection Agreement Technology, Construction, and Operation The proposed solar facility is expected to deliver clean, renewable energy to Xcel Energy for an initial term of 20 years through the Solar*Rewards program, with the option to extend operations for up to an additional 20 years. This aligns with the lease agreement between SBR Solar, LLC and Strait Bottom Ranch LLLP, which allows for a project life of up to 40 years—matching the anticipated useful life of the system’s major equipment components. SBR Solar is currently progressing through Xcel Energy’s interconnection study process and anticipates completing all required studies by the end of Q1 2026. Once operational, the facility will generate enough emission-free electricity to power more than 1,200 homes annually. The project will utilize driven steel piles to support single-axis tracking racking systems, which rotate to follow the sun throughout the day and maximize energy production. Each rack will hold photovoltaic (PV) solar modules connected to inverters that convert DC to AC electricity. At maximum tilt, the leading edge of the modules will stand approximately 8 to 12 feet above grade. The project will also consist of a central concrete equipment pad housing utility-grade components such as switchgear, transformers, a production meter, weather station, and equipment monitoring systems. All installed equipment will be new, industry-standard, and compliant with applicable safety and testing standards. Construction Construction is expected to take up to nine months, with the majority of work completed within the first six months. Construction crews—up to 30 personnel at peak—will access the site via an existing road from Old US Highway 6, as detailed in the site plan. SBR Solar has received non-exclusive access rights from the landowner and has agreed to terms for road maintenance with the oil and gas operator on the property to maintain shared road access road. Once construction is complete, the facility will be enclosed by a wildlife-friendly game fence similar to those used by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). Each solar array will be accessible via an all-weather gravel driveway extending from the main access road to the equipment pad. Gates will secure each array entrance, and access information will be provided to emergency response agencies, including local fire and police departments. Standard electrical hazard signage will be installed at the fence perimeter and entry points. Operations & Maintenance SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review The project will operate during daylight hours with minimal noise, primarily from tracking motors and inverters. No security lighting is planned; however, each equipment pad will include a single task light for nighttime maintenance if necessary. There will be no full-time staff on-site. Operations and maintenance (O&M) visits will occur approximately 4 to 8 times per year and typically involve 1–2 pickup trucks and any required trailers for vegetation management. If feasible, SBR Solar will seek to implement agrivoltaics through managed sheep grazing for vegetation control. Due to variable precipitation and lack of water rights, a custom native seed mix will be developed in consultation with professional ecologists and civil engineers. This mix will aim to support forage quality, biodiversity, and long-term soil health. If sheep grazing is determined to be impractical, vegetation will be managed through mechanical mowing and other necessary equipment. The subject parcel has historically been leased to a local rancher for seasonal sheep grazing during the winter months. If feasible, SBR Solar will seek to continue this relationship by utilizing the same herd for vegetation management once the solar facility is operational. Utility & Emergency Services The site will not require potable water service, a septic system, or public water/sewer utilities due to its mostly unstaffed nature post-construction. During construction and scheduled maintenance visits, appropriate services—including portable restrooms and potable water— will be provided for worker health and safety as needed. Emergency services will have full access to the site via the main access road from Old US Highway 6. Given the limited onsite presence, ongoing emergency service needs are expected to be minimal.

I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The following is an overview of the application submittal requirements and review process. Additional items and/or review may be required due to site and project specific issues. The application should include materials to fulfill any Waiver of Submittal Requirements (Section 4-202) and Waiver of Standards (Section 4-118) requests. A full copy of the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) may be found here: https://www.garfield-county.com/community-development/land- use-code/ The subject parcel is located between I-70 and Hwy 6 and 24 and adjacent to the southwest corner of the Town of Parachute. The property had another large solar energy system permitted in 2021 by the Resolution at Reception No. 955640. The existing site is approximately 27.5 acres of the 114- acre parcel. The current proposal would add approximately 50 more acres of photovoltaic use. The arrays will be a single axis, tracking system that is similar to the existing system. No long-term water or wastewater is expected to be necessary. The application should address how these services will be provided during construction. 2 The application’s impact analysis should include a glare analysis. The applicant should work with the fire district to ensure its site plan allows for feasible fire protection. Wildlife impacts have been an issue for other solar projects, the applicant should address these concerns and work with CPW on appropriate mitigation. Information related to the point of interconnection and agreements with power companies/co-ops should be provided. A list of submittal requirements is included below. The application’s narrative may be used to address the Impact Analyss (4.203.G) items, request waivers of submittal requirements, and address the overall proposal and related topics. All waiver requests should address the review criteria of 4- 202. The site plan should clearly show the proposed layout, access points, infrastructure, and relation to neighboring uses on the property. The grading and drainage plan should provide any stormwater calculations required to demonstrate the adequacy of proposed culverts, detention, or other infrastructure. The landscape plan and related standards should address revegetation and weed management. A decommissioning plan is strongly recommended. Large solar arrays have been under scrutiny for compatibility with neighboring uses (especially residential uses), loss of agricultural uses, and loss of open space/habitat. The applicant should review recent hearings and packets to help them prepare responses to these types of concerns. The application will need to demonstrate continued compliance with the existing approvals, zone dimensions, and development standards. The application should address Article 7 Standards, Divisions 1-3 and Section 7-1101. Some specific standards may require reports (soil study for example) or engineering. Waiver of Standards may be requested and should respond to the review criteria of Section 4-118. Applicants are invoiced as part of cost-recovery related to review time and technical consultants. It is impossible to estimate what these costs will be. Typically, large solar facilities take from 6-9 months for a decision depending on technical completeness. II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The previous application received criticism from the Town of Parachute due to its lack of compliance with the Town’s long-term growth envisioned in its comprehensive plan. The applicant should work with the town and specifically address these concerns in its application. III.

PLANTS FOR REVEGETATION SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review 1 Major Impact Review – Land Use Change Permit Solar Energy System – Large SBR Solar LLC Tax Parcel No. 240923300098 Section 6. Landscape Plan SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review 2 The SBR Solar project is a low-profile solar energy facility designed to minimize visual and environmental impacts while providing clean, renewable electricity to the local grid. Like the two existing solar arrays on the property, the new facility will utilize single-axis tracking systems with solar panels mounted on driven steel piles. The maximum height of the panels at full tilt will be approximately 12 feet above grade, maintaining a relatively unobtrusive profile. The project site is located on a rural parcel in unincorporated Garfield County, south of the Town of Parachute, and is surrounded primarily by vacant or undeveloped land. There are no inhabited structures within at least 1,500 feet of the project boundary. This significant distance, combined with the natural topography and existing land uses, ensures that visual impacts from the installation will be negligible. To further minimize visual disturbance and enhance compatibility with the surrounding landscape, SBR Solar will install an 8-foot-tall, wildlife-friendly game fence around the facility. This fencing, similar in style and function to those used by the Colorado Department of Transportation, will provide necessary safety and security while avoiding the industrial appearance of standard chain link fencing. It is designed to blend with the rural character of the area and to allow safe passage for local wildlife. Given the remote location of the site, its prior use for energy development, and the ample distance to public rights-of-way and neighboring residences, no additional visual screening or landscaping measures are proposed at this time. Weed Management County staff have not yet determined whether a formal Weed Management Plan is required for this site. Field assessments have not identified any plant species listed as noxious weeds within the project footprint. Re-Vegetation Plan SBR Solar has developed a site-specific re-vegetation plan in consultation with professional ecologists and civil engineers. This plan includes the use of a custom native seed mix designed to stabilize soils, support biodiversity, and improve long-term soil health throughout the operational life of the project. If feasible, managed sheep grazing will be brought on site for vegetation control. The applicant is exploring opportunities to partner with a local rancher who has historically grazed sheep on the property during the winter months. The seed mix used after construction will be tailored to extend the grazing season while supporting both ecological SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review 3 and operational goals. If sheep grazing proves impractical or unsafe, vegetation will be maintained using mechanical mowing and appropriate equipment. SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review Adjacent Land Use The proposed solar project is located on a parcel with a history of energy-related uses, including oil and gas production and solar development. It is directly adjacent to a previously approved and operational solar array, as well as an active oil and gas extraction pad. Surrounding parcels are largely vacant. Old Highway 6 runs along the south and southeast boundaries, while Interstate 70 lies to the north and northeast. Beyond Old Highway 6, the site is buffered by a railroad corridor and the Colorado River. The nearest residences are located more than 1,500 feet from the proposed project fence line. Site Features The physical features of the site have been significantly shaped by nearby historical infrastructure development projects, most notably the construction of Interstate 70 and the access road serving existing oil and gas facilities on the property. These interventions have altered the natural hydrology of the parcel, redirecting surface runoff and contributing to the formation of shallow, ephemeral drainage channels. These channels remain dry for the vast majority of the year and only carry water during short, high-intensity storm events. There are three unnamed ephemeral drainages situated within or near the project boundary. These features now serve as the primary surface water flow paths on the site and were a key factor in determining the development layout. The site generally slopes to the south, with localized drainage patterns converging toward the central drainage around which the project was designed. The solar arrays have been strategically placed on higher ground between the drainages, maintaining generous setbacks from active flowlines. No portion of the project lies within a mapped FEMA 100-year floodplain, and there is no visible evidence of flooding or ponding in the proposed array areas. Vegetation on the site consists primarily of cheatgrass and sagebrush. Disturbed areas will be re-seeded following construction with a native, drought-tolerant seed mix designed to promote erosion control and support long-term site stability. The region’s arid climate and consistently high solar irradiance make the site ideally suited for photovoltaic energy production. Soil Characteristics A custom soils report generated using the NRCS Web Soil Survey indicates that 100 percent of the proposed project area consists of Arvada loam, a well-drained soil type commonly found on alluvial fans and terraces in western Colorado. Arvada loam typically features fine sandy loam in the surface layer with moderately permeable subsoils that support infiltration and offer good structural stability. These soils are not classified as prime farmland by the NRCS and are generally well-suited for solar development due to their low shrink-swell SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review potential, resistance to erosion under vegetative cover, and stable load-bearing properties in dry climates. Geotechnical investigations previously completed on this site have included 11 soil borings to depths ranging from 12 to 20 feet. Subsurface conditions were found to be relatively consistent throughout, with approximately one foot of topsoil overlaying medium-dense to dense clayey sand. No subsurface groundwater was encountered during the investigation. These conditions are favorable for supporting driven pier foundations or ballasted racking systems and are not anticipated to present any geotechnical constraints to solar development. An updated Geotechnical report is in progress with results expected by mid- January 2026 to confirm the subsurface conditions are consistent with previous findings on site. Geology and Hazard The project site is located in an area of western Colorado that is geologically stable and not known to be affected by significant seismic, landslide, or subsidence activity. The underlying geologic formation is typical of the region, consisting primarily of sedimentary deposits with no known active fault lines in the immediate vicinity of the parcel. No known geologic hazards have been identified on the property. Previous geotechnical investigations on the parcel found subsurface soils to be stable and suitable for structural loading associated with ground-mounted solar facilities. The area does not exhibit characteristics associated with expansive clays, slope instability, or shallow bedrock that would complicate construction. There are no known manmade hazards affecting the site, with the exception of existing oil and gas infrastructure. These features are located outside of the proposed array footprint, and the project layout has been designed to avoid any interference with oil and gas operations, access roads, or setback requirements. Based on available mapping, site observation, and previous technical studies, no geologic or manmade hazard is expected to pose a constraint to the construction or operation of the proposed solar facility. Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge Area The site is not located within a designated aquifer recharge area, and no groundwater was encountered during prior subsurface investigations. The facility will be unmanned and will not generate wastewater or sewage effluent. No hazardous materials will be stored on-site, and surface runoff is not expected to pose any risk to groundwater or stream flow. Additional SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review details are provided in the Drainage Report. Environmental Impacts A. Determination of the long-term and short-term effect on flora and fauna Short-term impacts to native vegetation, including sagebrush and cheatgrass, are expected during construction. Minimal grading will be required to install the solar facility, and best management practices will be used to limit disturbance to existing vegetation. Following construction, all disturbed areas will be re-seeded with a drought-tolerant, native seed mix recommended for the region. The facility will be unmanned during operations, and long-term impacts to flora and fauna are expected to be minimal. Wildlife movement may be preserved through the use of wildlife-friendly fencing and unobstructed access around the project perimeter. No threatened or endangered species or critical habitat have been identified on the project site. B. Determination of the effect on designated environmental resources, including critical wildlife habitat According to the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan Wildlife Habitat Map, portions of the project site overlap with mapped habitat areas for white-tailed prairie dog, bald eagle, and mule deer. However, there are no designated critical wildlife habitat areas on the property. The proposed facility will be enclosed with wildlife-friendly fencing designed to allow passage for small animals, and larger wildlife such as mule deer will continue to move freely around the perimeter within existing undeveloped areas and setbacks. Given the low-impact nature of the facility and the absence of habitat loss outside of the fenced area, the project is not expected to have a significant effect on local wildlife or habitat use patterns. C. Impacts on wildlife and domestic animals through creation of hazardous attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, blockade of migration routes, use patterns, or other disruptions The facility will be enclosed by perimeter fencing that may limit access for larger wildlife, though movement will remain possible around the site through adjacent open areas and setbacks. The fencing will be designed to allow smaller animals to pass through. The project will not introduce any hazardous attractions for wildlife or domestic animals, and impacts to SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review native vegetation will be addressed through reseeding following construction. Disruption to migration routes and existing use patterns is expected to be minimal. D. Evaluation of any potential radiation hazard that may have been identified by the State or County Health Departments No radiation hazards have been identified on the subject property by state or county health authorities.

"Green" glare is glare with low potential to cause an after-image (flash blindness) when observed prior to a typical blink response time. "Yellow" glare is glare with potential to cause an after-image (flash blindness) when observed prior to a typical blink response time. Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour. The algorithm does not rigorously represent the detailed geometry of a system; detailed features such as gaps between modules, variable height of the PV array, and support structures may impact actual glare results. However, we have validated our models against several systems, including a PV array causing glare to the air-traffic control tower at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and several sites in Albuquerque, and the tool accurately predicted the occurrence and intensity of glare at different times and days of the year. Several V1 calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot location, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare. This primarily affects V1 analyses of path receptors. Random number computations are utilized by various steps of the annual hazard analysis algorithm. Predicted minutes of glare can vary between runs as a result. This limitation primarily affects analyses of Observation Point receptors, including ATCTs. Note that the SGHAT/ ForgeSolar methodology has always relied on an analytical, qualitative approach to accurately determine the overall hazard (i.e. green vs. yellow) of expected glare on an annual basis. The analysis does not automatically consider obstacles (either man-made or natural) between the observation points and the prescribed solar installation that may obstruct observed glare, such as trees, hills, buildings, etc. The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger than the sub-array size. Additional analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on related limitations.) The variable direct normal irradiance (DNI) feature (if selected) scales the user-prescribed peak DNI using a typical clear-day irradiance profile. This profile has a lower DNI in the mornings and evenings and a maximum at solar noon. The scaling uses a clear-day irradiance profile based on a normalized time relative to sunrise, solar noon, and sunset, which are prescribed by a sun-position algorithm and the latitude and longitude obtained from Google maps. The actual DNI on any given day can be affected by cloud cover, atmospheric attenuation, and other environmental factors. The ocular hazard predicted by the tool depends on a number of environmental, optical, and human factors, which can be uncertain. We provide input fields and typical ranges of values for these factors so that the user can vary these parameters to see if they have an impact on the results. The speed of SGHAT allows expedited sensitivity and parametric analyses. The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of more rigorous modeling methods. Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid based on aggregated research data. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a continuous, not discrete, spectrum. Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot locations may differ.

Because this project is located in a heavily disturbed area, and between I-70 and Highway 6, we do not have major wildlife concerns for this project. There are bald eagle roost sites in that area, and we will recommend limiting construction to daylight hours to avoid interference with roosting eagles. Additionally, we will refer to CDPHE's stormwater permit to ensure that any construction sediment does not move off- site and into neighboring waterways. Typically, we receive a referral for comment from Garfield County and submit an official comment letter through those channels; however, I don't anticipate any other concerns arising. Thank you for reaching out to address wildlife concerns early in your application process.

Development Agreement (Waiver Request) SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review SBR Solar respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to submit a Development Agreement pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Land Use Code. The proposed solar facility is planned to be constructed in a single phase, with both solar array areas developed concurrently and completed within the same general timeframe. There is no proposed phasing or sequencing that would necessitate tracking or enforcement of multiple development stages. As such, the standard purpose of a Development Agreement, to establish timing, conditions, or responsibilities across distinct development phases, does not apply to this project. Given the unified construction timeline and the straightforward nature of the proposed development, the Applicant believes a Development Agreement is not necessary to ensure a proper and complete review. SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review Major Impact Review – Land Use Change Permit Solar Energy System – Large SBR Solar LLC Tax Parcel No. 240923300098 Section 9. Improvement Agreement (Waiver Request) SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review SBR Solar respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to submit an Improvement Agreement pursuant to Section 4-203.K of the Land Use Code. The proposed solar facility will be an unmanned installation with remote monitoring during normal operations. As such, there is no anticipated need for public service improvements such as potable water, wastewater treatment, or other utility services typically associated with staffed facilities. Access to the site is provided via U.S. Highway 6, which is sufficient to accommodate construction and operational traffic without the need for upgrades. Any electrical system upgrades necessary to support the facility will be contracted directly between the project operator and the interconnecting utility. Given the limited infrastructure demands of the project and the direct coordination with the utility provider, the Applicant believes an Improvement Agreement is not necessary to ensure a complete and proper review. 1515 Market Street Denver, CO 80202 (713) 294-7764 brian.mcdermott@enertiacg.com Garfield County Community Development 108 8th St, Suite 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: Traffic Impact Letter Major Impact Review – Strait Bottom Ranch Parcel 5851 Hwy 6, Parachute, CO To whom it may concern: I.Introduction The following information is included in this letter: • Project Location, Components and Construction Schedule • Designated Travel Route • Daily Vehicle Trip Generation • Conclusions II.Existing Conditions Location December 4, 2025 In fulfillment of the Garfield County Major Impact Review requirements, Enertia Consulting Group (Enertia) has completed this Traffic Impact Letter for the proposed SBR Solar, LLC Project on the Strait Bottom Ranch Parcel located on approximately: 22.85 acres at 5851 Hwy 6, Parachute, CO.

Sincerely, ENERTIA CONSULTING GROUP, LLC Brian McDermott Project Engineer attachment We trust that this Traffic Impact Letter for the SBR Solar, LLC Solar Facility on the Strait Bottom Ranch Parcel is acceptable and complete. Please contact me at brian.mcdermott@enertiacg.com or (713) 294-7764 should you require additional information. Daily Project related truck traffic is not expected to impact AM and PM peak traffic periods. Sight distance at the Project entrance is well over 1,000 feet both east and west along Hwy 6. Access to the project site is through an existing driveway. Therefore, a Garfield County access permit will not be required. As proposed, the solar garden site preparation, installation and ongoing inspection/maintenance is not anticipated to create adverse traffic related impacts on Garfield County roads. Based on anticipated vehicle type and weight, the project is not anticipated to degrade/damage Garfield County roads and a Public Works Improvement Agreement is not likely warranted. The Project is expected to generate up to 76 vehicle trips per day during material and equipment delivery (anticipated to be up to one month at the beginning of the project and one month at the end of the project), up to 64 vehicle trips per day during solar facility installation (7-8 months) and up to 2 vehicle trips per month during solar facility operation. Site preparation and solar facility installation anticipated to begin in May 2026 and be completed in January 2027. The phase with the greatest amount of traffic (76 vtpd material and equipment delivery) is expected to occur over a 5-6 week period (May 2026 – July 2026). © 2025 Microsoft Corporation © 2025 Maxar ©CNES (2025) Distribution Airbus DS © 2025 TMAP MOBILITY Earthstar Geographics SIO SITE ACCESS I-70 I-70 HWY 6 DESIGNATED TRAVEL ROUTE VIA I-70 EASTBOUND DESIGNATED TRAVEL ROUTE VIA I-70 WESTBOUND DESIGNATED TRAVEL ROUTE VIA HWY 6 PROJECT SITE DATE: 12/4/2025 SCALE:1" = 5,000'SBR SOLAR, LLC SOLAR FARM ON STRAIT BOTTOM RANCH PARCEL GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO FIGURE 1 - PROXIMITY MAP & DESIGNATED TRAVEL ROUTE1515 MARKET STREET SUITE 100 DENVER, CO 80202 (609) 234-5502 BY: BKM SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review Major Impact Review – Land Use Change Permit Solar Energy System – Large SBR Solar LLC Tax Parcel No. 240923300098 Section 11.

LUDC Section 7 Narrative SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review Article 7 Standards: Narrative Response DIVISION 1: GENERAL APPROVAL STANDARDS 7-101. ZONE DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS The proposed Large Solar Energy System project is located on a parcel zoned "Rural" within Garfield County. The project will fully comply with all applicable zone district use regulations and restrictions as outlined in Article 3, Zoning, of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code. This includes, but is not limited to, adherence to setback requirements, height limitations, and any other specific development standards pertinent to the Rural zone district for solar energy facilities. 7-102. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS The proposed facility is in general conformance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030 (GCCP). The GCCP explicitly promotes and encourages the development of renewable energy resources within the county, and this project directly supports that objective. The project is designed to mitigate potential impacts on the natural environment and visual quality. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction to protect water quality. While a fence is required for the facility, significant wildlife corridors are maintained through setbacks within the project arrays and neighboring parcels. Visual impacts from I-70 and Old US Highway 6 will be minimal due to the project's location. To the best of the Applicant's knowledge, the project complies with all applicable intergovernmental agreements. 7-103. COMPATIBILITY The proposed facility’s nature, scale, and intensity are compatible with the adjacent and existing land uses. The subject parcel already hosts two active solar projects, multiple producing oil and gas pads, and a transmission line, establishing a precedent for energy infrastructure. This solar facility presents a continuation of compatible energy production on the site. Solar energy generation is inherently passive, low intensity, and produces no fumes, significant noise, or hazardous materials. The facility will be largely unmanned, generating minimal vehicular traffic limited to infrequent maintenance. Its low profile and design are consistent with the rural zoning and surrounding agricultural and energy-related uses, ensuring it will not be a significant source of dust, glare, or light pollution. The project maintains appropriate setbacks and is designed to integrate harmoniously with the existing landscape 7-104. SOURCE OF WATER SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review The proposed Large Solar Energy System will not require a permanent potable water supply for its operation, as the facility is designed to be unmanned. Water needs during construction, primarily for dust control, and for limited, infrequent maintenance activities, will be supplied by a licensed water hauler. Water for construction crews will be provided by the general contractor. 7-105. CENTRAL WATER DISTRIBUTION AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS The proposed facility will not require central water distribution or wastewater systems, as the facility is unmanned and does not necessitate a permanent potable water supply or sewage disposal. During the construction phase, portable sanitary facilities will be provided on-site for the duration of the work, and drinking water for crews will be self-contained or provided by the general contractor. Upon completion of construction, these temporary facilities will be removed. 7-106. PUBLIC UTILITIES The proposed facility is strategically located for direct interconnection to existing public utility infrastructure. The subject parcel benefits from the presence of a three-phase electrical distribution line operated by Public Service of Colorado (Xcel Energy), which is directly adjacent to the proposed solar array area. This proximity was a prime factor in site selection, ensuring efficient and seamless interconnection to the utility grid. The project is currently undergoing interconnection studies with Xcel Energy and will eventually be contracted for power production. Any necessary easements for the installation and maintenance of utility equipment will be executed with the utility, with an expectation that power lines connecting the facility to the adjacent grid will be primarily underground where feasible. 7-107. ACCESS AND ROADWAYS The proposed facility has legal access to the array areas from Old US Highway 6. This existing access will adequately and safely serve the proposed use. Improvements to Old US Highway 6 are not necessary, and traffic generated by the construction or operation of the facility is not anticipated to cause significant impacts to public rights-of-way. Dedicated access driveways serving the solar array will be located along the southern project boundary and will be designed and constructed to meet or exceed all relevant Garfield County design standards. 7-108. USE OF LAND SUBJECT TO NATURAL HAZARDS The proposed facility is sited on land that is relatively flat and has been determined through various studies not to be subject to significant risk from natural hazards. The project is located outside of designated natural hazard areas, ensuring the safety and long-term viability of the facility and minimizing risks to public health and safety. 7-109. FIRE PROTECTION SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review The proposed facility is primarily constructed from non-combustible materials such as glass, aluminum, and steel, significantly reducing the inherent risk of ignition. Electrical fires at solar generation facilities are rare due to built-in system safeguards designed to detect dangerous conditions and initiate shutdowns. The Applicant has engaged with the Grand Valley Fire Protection District, the emergency response provider for this site, and will provide them with necessary access information, including gate codes. The facility design and operational plan will adhere to all applicable fire codes and will incorporate any recommendations provided by the Grand Valley Fire Protection District upon their review of this application. DIVISION 2: GENERAL RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 7-201. AGRICULTURAL LANDS There is no known adverse effects of solar installations on adjacent or nearby lands. In fact, it is possible to conduct agricultural activities on the same footprint concurrently with solar operations. The system operator will follow all county regulations, if applicable, regarding the control of domestic animals; maintenance of the perimeter fence; and road maintenance and dust control. It is not believed that this project has any nexus with the standards for irrigation ditches described in 7- 201. E. 7-202. WILDLIFE HABITAT AREAS SBR Solar, LLC has consulted with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) about this project and will implement their recommendations to minimize any potential impact to wildlife. In that correspondence, CPW noted there are bald eagle roost sites in the general area, however limiting construction to daylight hours will avoid interference with roosting eagles. The facility has been designed with sufficient locational controls, including appropriate setbacks, to avoid impacts to significant migration routes. An eight-foot-tall decorative game fence will be constructed around the perimeter, designed to allow smaller animals to pass through while guiding larger animals around the facility via maintained corridors and adjacent vacant land. Furthermore, site stabilization will include the use of native plant species, with minimal disturbance to existing vegetation during construction through the use of pile-driven racking systems and best management practices. Any disturbed areas will be reseeded with native grasses or a county-recommended mix. 7-203. PROTECTION OF WATERBODIES The proposed facility has been strategically designed to avoid and minimize impacts to the drainages flowing through the parcel to the Colorado River. The solar array and associated facilities will be set back from these sensitive areas, and the design ensures the project construction will not impede the flow of water through these drainages. During all phases of the project, Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as wattles and silt SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review fencing, will be rigorously implemented to prevent erosion and negative impacts to local drainages and ultimately the Colorado River. Construction will be conducted in accordance with all applicable local, State, and Federal regulations and requirements. There will be no permanent storage of hazardous chemicals or road salt anywhere on site. 7-204. DRAINAGE AND EROSION As detailed in the Drainage Report included with this application, the installation of the solar arrays will not disturb more than 1 acre of land and thus will not be subject to the CDPHE NPDES permit requirements. Except as may be required for the installation of the access driveways, there will be no grading or permanent alteration of the existing drainage characteristics of the site surface. The completed installation will result in a minimal increase in surface imperviousness and a barely perceptible increase to peak stormwater flows under developed conditions to 13.79 cfs from 13.42 cfs. 7-205. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY The proposed facility is designed to operate without causing adverse impacts to environmental quality. During operation, the facility will produce no fumes, odors, or air pollutants, ensuring local air quality is maintained at or above acceptable levels established by the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division. Furthermore, there will be no permanent storage or use of hazardous materials on site. 7-206. WILDFIRE HAZARDS Most of the proposed facility's property is located in areas designated as "low risk" or "lowest risk" by the Garfield County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The facility itself is constructed primarily from non-combustible materials such as steel, glass, and aluminum, and its electrical components are designed to meet all applicable national electric codes, inherently reducing the threat of self-sustained fires. A core component of the project's wildfire mitigation strategy is continuous and active vegetation management. The operation of this commercial solar facility necessitates regular trimming of vegetation within the array areas and along the perimeter fence. This commitment to ongoing maintenance directly reduces the accumulation of combustible fuels on-site, thereby lowering the overall wildfire hazard for the parcel and the surrounding area, and providing a substantial benefit in wildfire risk reduction compared to the current unmaintained state of portions of the site outside of existing energy infrastructure. Furthermore, the existing driveways will provide adequate and accessible routes for the Grand Valley Fire Protection District and other emergency services, ensuring effective response capabilities if required. 7-207. NATURAL AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDS The proposed facility is sited on a relatively flat parcel and is not located within any known SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review natural or geologic hazard areas such as avalanche, landslide, or rockfall zones. Construction is not proposed in alluvial fan areas, on slopes of 20% gradient or greater, or on otherwise unstable slopes, nor within any designated mudflow areas or over any known faults. The solar facility's design, utilizing pile-driven foundations, allows it to generally conform to the existing topography with minimal to no grading required. This approach reduces overall site disturbance and is cost-effective. Based on general site conditions, a low to moderate potential for corrosive or expansive soils is anticipated. All foundations, including concrete slabs and driven steel piles, will be specifically designed with sufficient protection to ensure the facility meets its design life expectations, accounting for the native soils' properties. 7-208. RECLAMATION After construction, SBR Solar, LLC is committed to a robust reclamation process. All disturbed areas, including those within the site fence line, will be re-vegetated with a prescribed seed mix consisting of native, low-growth plant species. This revegetation will be established and maintained in accordance with Garfield County standards. No major changes to the existing site topography are proposed that would hinder effective reclamation. Please refer to the enclosed Site Plans and Revegetation Plan for more detail on these measures. DIVISION 3. SITE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 7-301. COMPATIBLE DESIGN The proposed facility is sited within a Rural zone district, with Rural zoning on three adjacent sides and Resource Lands zoning on the southwest. The subject parcel already hosts significant energy infrastructure, including active oil and gas operations and two operational solar farms. The proposed facility is designed to be compatible with these existing uses, continuing the established character of energy production on the property. The nature and scale of the proposed use are low-impact, both for the subject parcel and neighboring properties. Beyond the temporary construction period, which may involve some noise, fumes, and dust from equipment, the operational facility will not be a significant source of dust, odors, gas, fumes, or glare. The solar facility will be sited at a significant distance from adjoining lands with different zoning, ensuring its design integrates harmoniously with the existing landscape and surrounding land uses. 7-302. OFF -STREET PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS The proposed facility is an unmanned operation, and as such, permanent parking is not necessary for its operational phase. Adequate on-site parking for construction activity will be provided entirely within the lease area, with designated areas for craft parking identified. No street or public right-of-way shoulder parking will be permitted during either construction or operation. Site design will ensure that trucks delivering equipment and materials can pull SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review completely off Old US Highway 6 prior to unloading. For the operational phase, very minimal vehicular traffic is anticipated, limited to infrequent routine maintenance visits (typically 4 to 8 times per year) by standard-sized pickup trucks. Permanent loading bays are not appropriate for this use, as no building is proposed to accommodate them, and very few additional deliveries of equipment or materials are expected during the facility's lifespan. 7-303. LANDSCAPING STANDARDS SBR Solar, LLC has prepared a re-vegetation plan for all partially disturbed areas within the solar array fence lines. This plan outlines the planting and establishment of ground cover using a prescribed seed mix of native, drought-tolerant, low-growth plant species. These species have been carefully selected to minimize potential shading of solar arrays, reduce susceptibility to wildfire danger, and ensure successful establishment given the site's dry conditions, poor soils, significant sun exposure, and limited rainfall. In accordance with Section 7-303.C of the Land Use and Development Code, which requires landscaping to be consistent with the unique local ecosystem, the planting of additional trees or shrubs is not recommended. The sparse vegetation currently present on the parcel indicates the low likelihood of larger vegetation thriving in such an environment. The proposed landscaping approach is designed to mimic and integrate with the existing native vegetation, ensuring ecological appropriateness and long-term viability. 7-304. LIGHTING STANDARDS As the proposed facility is an unmanned operation and automatically ceases to operate after daylight hours, no perimeter or significant security lighting is proposed for the site. Any necessary lighting will be minimal and limited to essential task lighting. It is anticipated that each equipment pad may feature a single, manually-switched task light, to be used only if maintenance or repair to electrical equipment is required outside of daylight hours. Such task lighting will be downcast to illuminate only the immediate equipment area and will be shielded and oriented to prevent any spillover or glare towards neighboring properties or the night sky. 7-305. SNOW STORAGE STANDARDS Given that the proposed facility is unmanned, requires no permanent parking, and anticipates a very low operational traffic frequency (typically less than one vehicle per month for maintenance), dedicated snow storage areas are not necessary. Snow removal is not required for the operation of the solar facility, and any accumulation will be managed naturally within the lease area without impacting public rights-of-way or adjacent properties. 7-306. TRAIL AND WALKWAY STANDARDS Due to the remote and unmanned nature of the proposed facility, located far from public amenities such as shopping areas, schools, parks, trails, and greenbelts, the inclusion of SBR Solar LLC, Major Impact Review trails, walkways, or other similar improvements as part of this development is neither recommended nor necessary. The facility is not intended for public access or pedestrian use 7-1101. SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS In compliance with Section 7-1101.A of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, clear and appropriate signage warning of electrical shock hazard will be installed. This signage will be placed prominently at the facility's main gate and at regular intervals along the entire perimeter fence of each solar array, as depicted on the submitted site plans.
