Taney Engineering was selected by First Solar Electric to provide hydrology and grading designs necessary to flood protect and fence a 400-acre planned 48MW photovoltaic solar power generation facility. The facility is located in the 3000-acre El Dorado Valley Solar Power Master Plan, adjacent to the transmission corridor for southern California. The project involved complex drainage facility designs to handle the uncontrolled upstream flows from a 16 square mile area. Water flow impacting along the south boundary was collected with debris basins and controlled the outflow via a gabion wall that acts as a weir. The controlled weir allowed the developer to minimize costs for flood control downstream.

​

Cooper Mountain II consisted of site grading for additional installation of solar panels, additional fencing, electrical design for temporary move-on areas, drainage analyses, drainage facilities, and earthwork plans.
