> According to the proposal, Glenvale Solar is working with local experts to ensure the project meets the highest standards of stormwater management and minimizes impacts to natural resources. The project team is also consulting with the N.H. Fish and Game Department to conduct a wildlife habitat assessment of the proposed site.

> Glenvale Solar chose the proposed project site through an extensive review of its characteristics — its proximity to two transmission corridors, minimal visual impact, low to moderate sloping terrain and no known presence of threatened species—that are compatible with solar development, the proposal states.
>
> Locals currently use the proposed sites for hiking, biking and snowmobiling, and they have been used in the past for timber harvesting. Jackson said Glenvale Solar will coordinate with the community to minimize any disruptions.

> “We would like to minimize our impact to this network by maintaining connectivity or, if that is unavoidable, working with the community to understand where other trails could be improved or created,” Jackson said.
