Town officials and conservation advocates hope to overhaul the town’s bylaws regulating solar fields.

The Planning Board, the Wareham Land Trust and the Conservation Commission will be working to adjust the solar bylaws to mitigate the impacts of solar farms.

Officials seemed to be motivated by environmental concerns and the sense that the town is being inundated with new solar field proposals. Two have been approved in recent months, another is being reviewed by the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission and hearings on a fourth are set to begin soon.

Changes could include restricting the size of projects or creating new overlay districts that would restrict the location of solar farms.

At the Feb. 8 Planning Board Meeting, board member Richard Swenson said he has been researching solar bylaws in surrounding towns to find potential strategies.

“I think it’s pretty clear in talking to board members that solar farms are a great thing, but we’re stretching our limits,” Swenson said. “We seem to be a magnet for them right now.”

Swenson said he’d like to put in bylaws that make it more difficult for solar farms to come to town and would give the Planning Board more discretion in limiting those projects. He also noted that Wareham’s bylaws regulating solar fields are weak in comparison to other towns.

“We can’t continue to have our land stripped, we really can’t. We’ve got to put some restrictions on solar fields,” said Sandy Slavin of the Conservation Commission.

Officials are planning a workshop in the coming weeks to discuss the matter, but a date has not yet been set.
