STAC Workshop: Best Management Practices to Minimize Impacts of Solar Farms on Landscape Hydrology and Water Quality
This meeting is open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, it may be recorded for internal use.
Date and Time
Thursday, April 6, 2023 (all day)
Purpose
The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) hosted a two-day workshop to explore the potential impact of land use transition renewable energy within the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and our ability to meet TMDL goals. Current BMP recommendations are varied across the watershed, with only some states providing solar-specific stormwater management guidance. There is a need to ascertain the state of the science on solar farms and environmental quality that will inform field research and modeling in the Chesapeake Bay region.
