This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has received a proposal from Solar Partners I, II, IV, and VIII, limited liability corporations formed by BrightSource Energy (BrightSource), to construct and operate a solar thermal electric generating facility in San Bernardino County, California. The project would generate up to 400 megawatts (MW) of electricity using solar thermal technology. The proposed project was analyzed in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement that was published on November 13, 2009. The proposed project consists of three separate solar generating facilities, each consisting of a field of heliostats (mirrors) reflecting solar radiation to the top of a 459-foot tall power tower received unit. Heated fluid within the power tower receivers would be used to boil water to generate steam, which would turn a turbine and generate electricity. The permanent ROW required for the heliostat fields and power towers would occupy approximately 3,670 acres. An additional 377 acres would be used to support a Construction Logistics Area, and for shared facilities such as an administration building, maintenance warehouse, substation, and groundwater supply wells. Approximately 24 acres would be used for a natural gas supply pipeline ROW, and for access roads. The proposed project would cause the surface disturbance of approximately 4,073 acres during construction.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Environmental Impact Statement addresses the U.S. Bureau of Land Managements (BLM) consideration of issuance of a right-of-way grant to EDF Renewable Energy for the construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of a 150- megawatt photovoltaic solar energy facility and generation-intertie transmission line (gen-tie line). The project would be located in Riverside County, California, near the unincorporated community of Desert Center on land administered by the BLM. The Environmental Impact Statement analyzes seven solar facility alternatives and five gen-tie line alternatives. The solar facility alternatives are designated as follows: (1) No Action (No Plan Amend-ment), in which the application would be denied and current management of the site would be maintained; (2) the application would be denied and the CDCA Plan would be amended to declare the site suitable for solar energy development; (3) the application would be denied and the CDCA Plan would be amended to declare the site unsuitable for solar energy development; (4) BLM would grant the Applicant a right-of-way (ROW) for the project as proposed; (5) BLM would grant the Applicant a ROW for the project excluding the 47-acre portion of the site that is within the Palen-Ford Wildlife Habitat Management Area; (6) BLM would grant the Applicant a ROW for the project excluding the 155-acre southern parcel of the project and a 9-acre portion of the northern parcel that contains a sensitive plant species; (7) BLM would grant the Applicant a ROW as described under Alternative 6, but with taller solar panels. Gen-tie alternatives are designated as follows: (A) No Gen-Tie, in which the gen-tie line would not be constructed and current management of the site would be maintained; (B) The gen-tie line would be approved and would share transmission towers with the approved Desert Sunlight Solar Farm (DSSF); (C) The gen-tie line would be constructed on separate towers parallel to DSSF towers; (D) The gen-tie line would be constructed in a different, slightly shorter alignment; (E) The gen-tie line would be constructed in a different, slightly shorter alignment on a larger proportion of BLM land than Alternative D. Alternatives 4 through 7 and B through E would require an amendment to the CDCA Plan to find the project area suitable for solar development and allow a high-voltage transmission line outside of a federally designated utility corridor. The proposed project or any of the action alternatives is anticipated to result in substantial adverse effects to air resources from emissions of particulate matter (PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx); substantial adverse effects to biological resources, including vegetation habitat, special-status plants, habitat fragmentation, and displacement of wildlife; adverse effects to historic properties; substantial adverse cumulative effects to lands and realty from large-scale land conversion; substantial adverse noise effects from an increase in traffic-related noise levels along Kaiser Road; and substantial adverse effects to visual resources and recreation, due to degradation of the visual character of the landscape.

Book excerpt: This Plan Amendment/Final Environmental Impact Statement (PA/FEIS) addresses the possible United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approval of an amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area Plan (CDCA Plan) to allow for solar energy and of a right-of-way (ROW) grant to lease land managed by the BLM for construction, operation and decommissioning of a solar photovoltaic energy generation facility. The Agency Preferred Alternative covers approximately 4,176 acres (ac), managed by the BLM, and would generate 550 megawatts (MW) of electricity annually. The PA/FEIS identifies impacts of the Agency Preferred Alternative, including impacts related to biological resources, cultural resources, land use, visual resources, hydrology, water quality, and water use.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Draft DRECP, released in September 2014, was developed to (1) advance federal and state natural resource conservation goals and other federal land management goals (2) meet the requirements of the federal Endangered Species Act, California Endangered Species Act, Natural Community Conservation Planning Act, and Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) in the Mojave and Colorado/Sonoran desert region of Southern California and (3) facilitate the timely and streamlined permitting of renewable energy projects. The Draft DRECP included a strategy that identified and mapped potential areas for renewable energy development and areas for long-term natural resource conservation. In March 2015, the DRECP partner agencies announced a phased approach to completing the DRECP. As part of the approach, the BLM component of the DRECP is being finalized first in Phase I, making designations for conservation and renewable energy on public lands. The BLM is releasing this Proposed Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as Phase I of the DRECP. The Proposed LUPA supports the overall renewable energy and conservation goals of the DRECP. The Proposed LUPA would amend the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan as well as the Bishop and Bakersfield Resource Management Plans, specifically related to natural resource conservation and renewable energy development. The National Park Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Defense, California Public Utilities Commission, California State Lands Commission, California State Parks, and California Independent System Operator are assisting in the preparation of the DRECP, but none of these agencies is an applicant for state or federal take authorizations at this time. Likewise, the seven counties with jurisdiction over land within the DRECP Plan Area, as well as the City of Lancaster and Town of Apple Valley, have provided comments during the development of the DRECP. The BLMs Proposed LUPA reflects input from all of these agencies, as well as tribal government and public comments received on the Draft DRECP.--Page 6.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP or Plan) is a comprehensive plan that provides for renewable energy and transmission development projects and for the conservation of sensitive species and ecosystems in California's Mojave and Colorado/Sonoran deserts. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish And Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Energy Commission (CEC), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) must determine whether to approve proposed components of the DRECP. The Renewable Energy Action Team (REAT), composed of members from these agencies, collaborated to develop the DRECP and focus on renewable energy and natural resource conservation in the desert region"--from introduction.
