The Project is located approximately 1.6 miles north of Beaverdam, in the Beaverdam District. The Project is located off Ben Gayle Road (Route 682) to the north and east, and Ancient Acres Road (Route 681) to the south. The Project is bordered by Caroline County to the East, along with the North Anna River.
The project has a has been uniquely designed to eliminate viewshed impacts. Large amounts of open space, setbacks, and vegetative buffers are also included. The project will be screened due to the inclusion of natural existing and planted vegetation. Project components will be set back at least 150-feet from all adjacent property lines with a vegetative buffer at least 150-feet wide surrounding the project.
Since Strata’s founding in 2008, Strata has constructed and operates hundreds of solar facilities across the United States.
Within Hanover County, Stata has successfully constructed, is constructing, and is operating utility scale solar projects. Strata has enjoyed being a community partner and looks forward to expanding its continued presence within the community.
Prior to conducting land disturbance activities, all applicable federal, state, and county permits and approvals will be procured. The project includes sufficient acreage available for natural and constructed erosion and sediment control and stormwater management measures to be implemented. Stormwater management and erosion sediment control measures will be installed to protect against stormwater runoff and soil movement resulting from land disturbing activities. Strata follows a strict quality control process utilizing regular site inspections looking for any deficiencies and vulnerabilities. This results in a site with permanent control measures in place and functioning effectively so that construction can proceed on schedule and the site will be fully stabilized with durable vegetation.
North Anna Solar has been designed to maintain wildlife. The design includes several wildlife corridors located throughout the project. These corridors allow for wildlife movement connecting to existing streams and wetlands. Approximately 55 percent of the project will remain open space or wildlife corridor.
As part of our regular vegetation best practices, where land has been disturbed, new natural habitats for pollinators such as birds, bees, and butterflies will be created. This helps restore a declining bee population and ensures the continued pollination of natural vegetation.
