NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CentralSan), at its special meeting at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at the District Office, 5019 Imhoff, Place, Martinez, California, will continue a public hearing from September 2, 2021 to receive comments on the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the proposed Central San Solar Array Project. Following the public hearing, the Board will consider approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the project.

The proposed solar panel array would be located at 4451 Blum Road in unincorporated Martinez and accessed from the northern end of Blum Road via extension of an existing private driveway. The proposed solar panel array would be encircled by a service road and perimeter fence. The existing surface area to be covered by the proposed ground-mounted solar panel modules is approximately 2.5 acres. Combined, solar panel modules together with the service road and driveway, the area covered is approximately 4.0 acres of the 8.2 acres. The remainder (4.2 acres) is generally retention basins or aisle space between rows of panels, with only minor area being used for other electrical equipment. The project will connect to PG&E on Blum Road.
