Falls Planning Board to weigh zoning change to spur #LoveCanal #SolarFarm
by RICK PFEIFFER | Jul 31, 2024
"The #NiagaraFalls Planning Board is expected to decide in September whether to recommend a zoning change that would allow the site of the worst #EnvironmentalDisaster involving #ChemicalWastes in U.S. history to be transformed into a large-scale, eco-friendly, #solar #RenewableEnergy project.
"Just three residents from the Love Canal neighborhood appeared at a board hearing Wednesday night on a request by city officials and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (#NYSERDA) to change the zoning of 16 acres of city-owned land, south of Colvin Boulevard, north of the LaSalle Expressway and between 93rd and 95th streets from R1-A (Single Family Residential) to OS (Open Space). The change would allow for the land that was once #HookerChemicalCompany’s Love Canal landfill to be reclaimed and developed into the Vincent Welch Build-Ready Solar project.
"That land was also once the location of the Griffin Housing Development [YIKES!] as well as the Love Canal."

The '#EnvironmentallyFriendly alternative' way #Dominion Energy is cutting 40 acres of grass 'every few days'
By: Ellen Ice
Posted 9:01 AM, Aug 03, 2024CHESAPEAKE, Va. — "At #SolarFarms in #Chesapeake and #VirginiaBeach, Dominion Energy has found an alternative option to a lawn mower; this one has hooves.
"'It’s an environmentally-friendly alternative, it’s innovative, it’s creative and they do a great job,' said spokesperson Tim Eberly. 'They can eat about 40 acres of grass and vegetation every few days.'
"The flock of 300 sheep and 180 lambs is tended to by a shepherd, along with guard dogs and herding dogs.
“'Our guardian dogs are with the sheep all the time," said Jess Gray with Gray's #Lambscaping. 'They protect the flock when we are not around.'"
[..]
"The goal of the project is to keep the grass below the panels to maximize output. At Bedford #SolarFarm in Chesapeake, one of the sites where the sheep currently graze, the energy generated powers 17,500 homes."
