is in the process of drafting a zoning bylaw covering Battery
Energy Storage Systems and - as a town with extensive farmland and
with wells providing both our public and private water supplies -
very concerned about potential damage to aquifers and farmland.
We would appreciate learning how other towns have handled a
requirement for containment vessels for fire suppression materials
in the case of thermal runaway, and specifically whether any have
required an overflow capacity greater than 100% and how the size
of that additional capacity was determined.

<br>
We also would appreciate any insight into the coverages included
under the "commercial liability insurance in an amount and type
generally acceptable in the industry" that is frequently
referenced in liability insurance requirements. For instance, is
environmental damage included? Do the coverages vary with the
size of the facility? Does anyone have a more detailed and
specific requirement for liability coverage?

<br>
Thank you for your assistance.
