RE: Request for No- Permit Required Letter
Broadway Solar Center; Columbus County, NC
Action ID# SAW- 2013 -01392
Dear Emily:
To advance solar energy generation within North Carolina, Broadway Solar Center, LLC is planning to
install a 6.6 MW DC fixed tilt solar PV project within the Broadway Site (Columbus County, NC). At
this time, project construction is scheduled to start in September of 2014.
The project will require over 21,700 PV modules, as depicted on the attached site plan. These modules
will be installed on racking equipment mounted on steel piles driven into the ground. After clearing
and grading the site, the steel piles will be installed. Approximately 33 of the pilings will be installed
within a ditch classified by the USACE as an RPW. Based on previous communication with the
USACE, it is our understanding that the installation of pilings within an RPW is not a regulated
activity. After the pilings are in place, the racking equipment will be mounted on them approximately
4 feet above ground (see attached figure). For the pilings in the RPWs, the racking equipment will be
installed 4 feet above the top of bank elevation. Pilings will be spaced between 16 feet and 20 feet
from each other. The PV modules will then be mounted in rows on the racking equipment. A proposed
access road will cross the RPW at an existing culvert and no impacts will be needed.
On behalf of the applicant, we request the issuance of a No- Permit Required letter for this site plan.
The applicant for this project is:

Vicinity maps and the site plan are enclosed for your review. Please contact me if you have any
