The goal of every developer for a photovoltaic solar energy project is to ensure a timely and smooth transaction and obtaining necessary development approvals.
Identifying wetlands and wetland buffers, local tree ordinances, access easements and storm water management issues are just a few of the hurdles that a land use attorney must address.
-
- Does your purchase or lease agreement contain an adequate due diligence provision affording you full protection and the right to access?
-
- Do you have a strategy if your due diligence investigation discloses environmental issues?
-
- Have you identified the land use issues related to easements, wetlands, storm water management, buffering, security, interconnection and other issues necessary for site plan approval?
-
- What are best practices for due diligence investigation for underground tanks, wetlands, soil suitability and tree removal?
-
- What are practical solutions and considerations when faced with lack of access?
