geothermal leasing, solar energy rightsof-way (ROWs), and wind energy ROWs. 

Through the analysis contained within 

the EIS, the BLM will consider whether 

all, a portion of, or no lands within the 

area should be leased for geothermal 

exploration and development, solar 

energy development through ROWs, or 

wind energy development through 

ROWs. 

The approximately 21,300 acres of 

Federal lands that are the subject of this 

analysis are located in an area bordered 

by the Imperial/Riverside County line 

on the north, the Chocolate Mountains 

Aerial Bombing and Gunnery Range on 

the east, the Imperial Sand Dunes 

Recreation Area on the south, and the 

Imperial Valley agricultural belt on the 

west. The area is also east of the 

community of Niland and northeast of 

El Centro, California. 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to determine relevant issues 

that will influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the process for 

developing the EIS. The BLM has 

identified the following preliminary 

issues: Threatened and endangered 

species, special status species, 

vegetation communities, special area 

designations, visual resources, water 

quality and quantity, and areas of high 

potential for renewable energy 

development. By this notice, the BLM is 

complying with requirements in 43 CFR 

1610.2(c) to notify the public of 

potential amendments to land use plans, 

predicated on the findings of the EIS. 

The BLM will use and coordinate the 

NEPA commenting process to satisfy the 

public involvement process for Section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as 

provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). 

Native American Tribal consultations 

will be conducted, and Tribal concerns, 

including impacts on Indian trust assets, 

will be given due consideration. 

Federal, State, and local agencies, along 

with other stakeholders that may be 

interested or affected by the BLM’s 

decision on this project are invited to 

participate in the scoping process and, 

if eligible, may request or be requested 

by the BLM to participate as a 

cooperating agency.

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time.

do so.

the Board to ensure its work is not
