The potential for glare affecting passing motorists from a large solar generation facility in Spring Valley should be sufficiently mitigated by existing vegetation and structures.
The 5.38-megawatt project, according to the developers, will include three separate arrays on Colorado Mountain College property just east of the Spring Valley campus. The project was approved unanimously by county commissioners on Monday.
A required glare analysis for the project determined that drivers heading up County Road 114 (CMC Road) from the west could experience glare during certain periods of time in early spring and late summer.

LITTLE ROCK – The Rural Fire Protection program, managed by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Forestry Division, received $294,442.24 to purchase and distribute 96 Wildfire Suppression Kits to rural volunteer fire departments. The money was awarded as part of the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant from the United States Forest Service.
Volunteer fire departments are the primary partner of Forestry Division crews in wildfire response and suppression, but they are often in need of the specialized equipment and gear necessary for safe wildfire suppression. The equipment distributed this year in the Wildfire Suppression Kits included lightweight wildfire-resistant coveralls and gloves, hand rakes, back-pack water pumps, and leaf blowers. Since 2014, more than 490 volunteer fire departments have received Wildfire Suppression Kits through the Rural Fire Protection program valued at $1,499,411
