An emergency contact sign and knox box is located at the entrance of the facility. • Provide all warranty, spare parts and other repair or maintenance related activities on a time and materials basis. SITE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES Site storm water controls maintenance and improvements – Quarterly or As Needed o Feature Management and Maintenance § Features will be inspected during every vegetation management visit, and quarterly by Nexamp Operation Management employees. § Vegetation management of features will occur quarterly, or on an as needed basis. Vegetation in swales shall not exceed 16 inches in height. o Erosion Prevention and Soil Stabilization § The facility will be seeded prior to construction start, and immediately following the conclusion of construction. If during the following growing season, areas of bare earth are identified they will be seeded and stabilized within 30 days of identification or report. § Should areas of erosion occur between panel rows, or in areas of frequent runoff exposure, fissures will be filled, seeded and stabilized within 30 days of identification or report. o Drain and Outlet Management and Maintenance § Drains, outlets and other sections of pipe such as culverts or yard drains will be routinely inspected and cleared of any vegetation or debris that could inhibit functionality. § In areas where drains occur on land with higher than 5% slopes, stone will be routinely applied to drain outlets when areas of bare soil are present. o Inspections and Maintenance § Inspection of the stormwater management system, including installed vegetated features will take place throughout the growing season. § Annual inspections or all permanent Stormwater features shall be conducted prior to October in accordance with Town law, and a report of findings shall be filed with the Town. § Inspectors shall follow documentation and remediation protocols as outlined in NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual inspection sheets included as an exhibit to this agreement. 9 Bomber Heights Solar, LLC – Draft Operations and Maintenance Plan – Jan 2026 – v1 Access Management and Repair – Quarterly or as needed o Road inspections will occur with every visit by Nexamp Operations personnel, or third-party vendors. o The access road, will be always kept in physical condition conducive to access by large scale emergency vehicles. o Areas of erosion or wear that effect the consistency of the road surface or areas of ingress and egress to Mecklenburg Road that occur will be repaired within 30- days of identification or report. o Full-scale Road resurfacing will be conducted as necessary, as indicated by annual reporting and inspection. o Vegetation management of the road surface will occur quarterly or as needed, manual removal of vegetation or herbicide use will be applied in areas not conducive to grazing or machine removal. o Broken equipment will be removed from the property as soon as mechanically possible in case of replacement. When broken equipment must remain on site, it shall not stay on the property for more than six months, and shall not be stored in such a manner as to produce any risks for contamination of soils and groundwater. Vegetation Management – Quarterly or As Needed Vegetation Management activities will be flexibly scheduled and performed to adjust for growth conditions. Within the fence , for the first three years, visits to the site will occur no less than 2-3 times during the Spring and summer months. After the first three years, landscaping maintenance will increase to no less than 3-4 visits during the spring and summer months depending on vegetation growth. Outside of the fence, mowing and clearing will happen 50-75% less often than within the fence to allow for deep root growth and wildlife proliferation. o Ground-Level Vegetation § Ground level vegetation management will commence following the commercial operation date. § Ground cover will be left for 3-6 months of its first growing season to promote root growth and coverage. During this time, areas of stunted growth will be supplemented with further seeding and stabilization. § Mechanical vegetation management will be conducted onsite; • Inside the fence line for the first full year or until grasses have been sufficiently established • Outside of the fence line throughout the lease area for the life of the system. § Herbicide Use will be considered on the site, on a species-by-species basis, specifically for the targeting and removal of invasive species that may encroach on the property. While, due to the uncertainty as to what 10 Bomber Heights Solar, LLC – Draft Operations and Maintenance Plan – Jan 2026 – v1 species are being targeted, Bomber Heights Solar cannot commit to specific chemistries at this time, it does commit to all utilized herbicides being EPA and NYSDEC compliant in their chemistry and application. § Agrivoltaics • Grazing will be entertained following the first full growing season on the property. • Grazing plans will be filed as an amendment to this plan upon commencement. • Grazing will be rotated throughout the site and comply with ASGA grazing best practices. o Screening Management and Replacement § Inspection of screening will occur at every site visit by Nexamp Operations staff or Maintenance vendors. § Maintenance of screening and onsite vegetation will be performed by a company with a licensed arborist on staff. § Vegetative screening will be maintained throughout the life of the project. Standard maintenance includes watering*, treating for disease, fertilization and pruning when necessary. § Pest-resistant species have been utilized, and physical protection of vegetation will be installed when necessary. § Should vegetation show consistent signs of disease, drought or malnourishment following 3 months of identification and maintenance, plantings will be replaced at the earliest viable time, adjusting for soil saturation and seasonality. o Invasive Species Prevention and Management Construction and maintenance activities have the potential to introduce or spread invasive plant species through the movement of vehicles, equipment, soil, or plant materials. Bomber Heights Solar, LLC will implement preventative measures during construction and operations to minimize this risk. All vehicles and heavy equipment entering the site during construction will be inspected for soil, vegetation, seeds, or other organic material. Inspections will include tires, tracks, undercarriages, buckets, and trailers. Equipment containing visible soil or plant material will be cleaned prior to entering the site. Cleaning will be conducted in a manner that prevents wash water or debris from spreading vegetation or seeds. Disturbed soils will be stabilized as soon as practicable following construction activities. Imported soil or fill will be sourced from locations free of known invasive plant infestations where feasible. Disturbed areas will be revegetated with approved seed mixes to establish vegetative cover and reduce the likelihood of invasive species establishment 11 Bomber Heights Solar, LLC – Draft Operations and Maintenance Plan – Jan 2026 – v1 Routine inspections during vegetation management and maintenance visits will include monitoring for invasive plant species, particularly along access roads, fence lines, drainage features, and other disturbed areas. Management of invasive species will follow an integrated approach; • Small infestations may be addressed through manual removal such as hand pulling or digging. • Where necessary, mechanical control methods including mowing, brush cutting, or excavation may be used depending on the species and extent of infestation. • Herbicide use may be considered when manual or mechanical methods are ineffective or impractical. Any herbicide application will comply with New York State pesticide regulations and will be performed by properly licensed applicators using targeted treatment methods Plowing and Snow Removal – Seasonally or As Needed o The access road, through utility disconnect poles, will be always kept in conditions conducive to access by large scale emergency vehicles. o Plowing will occur following snow events that result in a total accumulation of 6 inches or more during the winter season. Unless otherwise requested by the Town of Ithaca Fire Department due to extenuating circumstances or concerns about the accessibility of the site for safety personnel. 12 Bomber Heights Solar, LLC – Draft Operations and Maintenance Plan – Jan 2026 – v1 Reporting Procedures Should town officials, residents or representatives find Nexamp’s management of the facility unsatisfactory, Nexamp requests standardized notification of the conditions present, and a 30- day window to remedy the conditions to the town’s standards.
