Solar Company faces fines

Bangor Daily News:

Marshfield Solar LLC and its contractor, SolAmerica Energy Services, may face a $180,159 fine for unpermitted work and environmental violations at a 19.32-acre solar project in Marshfield, Maine. The violations included soil erosion, failure to maintain stormwater controls, sediment runoff into neighboring wetlands and streams, and unauthorized alterations to 26,209 square feet of wetlands. A consent agreement will be reviewed by the Maine Board of Environmental Protection on June 5. The violations have since been corrected, and the developer received a $4.385 million USDA loan in 2023 for the project.
