Protected Areas Exclusion (Solar)

The geospatial data reflected in the protected area layer mostly pertain to natural and wilderness areas where development of utility-scale renewable energy is prohibited and were heavily based on RETI 1.0 blackout areas.<sup>1</sup> The protected area layer is distinguished for solar PV technology by the BLM greater sage grouse habitat management area which provides separate exclusion areas for the different technology types. Tables 1 and 2 below lists the data sources and precise selection query for each dataset, if applicable, that make up the protected area layer.<div><br /><div style='text-align:Left;'><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-size:12pt; font-family:Tahoma, Tahoma_EmbeddedFont, Tahoma_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures:none !important;'><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px;'>Table 1: </span><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px;'>Datasets</span><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px;'> used in the </span><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px;'>Protected Area Layer</span></span><span style='margin:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight:700; text-align:center; font-size:12pt; font-family:Tahoma, Tahoma_EmbeddedFont, Tahoma_MSFontService, sans-serif;'> </span><table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' style='text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse; border:none;'>
