A resident from Mount Jackson, Virginia, is claiming that Mount Jackson’s solar farm water runoff has caused property damage to his fiancée’s front yard. The couple live across the street from the solar farm. On September 1st, during Hurricane Ida, they recorded a video of water runoff coming onto the property and is claiming that it is evidence showing frequent water runoff and property damage.
Officials of Mount Jackson and Shenandoah County have examined the site and stated that there are no major erosion issues related to the solar farm. Town leadership has also claimed that many officials have examined the site and concluded that the solar farm is not at fault for the water runoff. Officials are also claiming water runoff comes with excessive rain in cases like Hurricane Ida, but not as frequently as the property owners claims.
