Project Construction Plan
The construction activities of the proposed Project will include the following: site preparation, clearing
and grading of the land, laying underground infrastructure, installing the PV system, BESS, substation,
carrying out testing, and cleaning up/restoring the Site for commencement.
Construction Schedule, Workers, Hours, and Equipment
The construction is anticipated to take ten (10) to twelve (12) months. The onsite construction
workforce will include various personnel such as laborers, craftsmen, supervisors, support staff, and
construction managers, and it is expected to range from 30 up to 200 people.
Construction will primarily occur during weekdays and daylight hours and weekend work may be
required to catch up with schedules or complete critical construction activities. In some cases, early
work may be necessary during hot weather to avoid working in high temperatures. Nighttime work may
also be required for installation, service, electrical connection, inspection, and testing activities, and
temporary lighting will be used to minimize impacts on neighboring properties and wildlife in the Project
area.
Construction activities will include preparation of the Site, foundation installations, transmission pole
installation, substation installation, gen-tie line installation and connection, all related facilities for PV
solar facility and BESS.
Site Access and Transportation
Construction access for NCS Solar will be established via Skyway Road. No driveway encroachments
onto Skyway Road are planned. The approximate locations of the driveways for the Project Site are
shown in the Site Plan.
To facilitate access within the Site, gravel access roads will be constructed. Along portions of the
external perimeter, several 60-foot-wide roads will be established, ensuring sufficient space for
maneuvering and efficient movement. From these external roads, several 20-foot-wide access roads
will lead into the enclosed Project Site, facilitated by a 20-foot-wide chain link gate.
Construction personnel will adhere to a regular schedule, arriving in the morning and departing in the
afternoon on weekdays. These workers are likely to commute from well-connected main road networks
such as Highway 99 or I-5 to Highway 32 to access the Project Site. Carpooling will be encouraged for all
construction workers to minimize the number of vehicle trips.
