DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[LLID2100000 L16100000.DO0000] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and a 

Possible Land Use Plan Amendment to 

the Jarbidge Resource Management 

Plan for the Proposed China Mountain 

Wind Project 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Jarbidge Field 

Office, Twin Falls District, Idaho, 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

China Mountain Wind Project, which 

may include a land use plan 

amendment to the 1987 Jarbidge 

Resource Management Plan (RMP), and 

by this notice is announcing the 

beginning of the scoping process and 

soliciting input on the identification of 

issues. The China Mountain Wind 

Project is located on 30,700 acres of 

public, state, and private lands in the 

Jarbidge Foothills, southwest of the 

town of Rogerson in Twin Falls County, 

Idaho, and west of the town of Jackpot 

in Elko County, Nevada. The EIS will 

analyze the potential environmental 

impacts of the construction and 

operation of a proposed wind power 

generation facility, associated electric 

transmission facilities and access roads, 

and a possible land use plan 

amendment associated with the project. 

This notice initiates a 30-day public 

scoping period to identify relevant 

issues associated with the proposed 

project and possible land use plan 

amendment. 

A prior notice dated April 21, 2008, 

initiated a 60-day public scoping 

process to identify relevant issues 

associated with the proposed project. 

That scoping process was subsequently 

extended for an additional 30 days, 

ending July 21, 2008. 

DATES: The scoping period will 

commence with the publication of this 

notice. The formal scoping period will 

end on November 16, 2009. Comments 

regarding issues relative to the proposed 

project and possible plan amendment 

should be received on or before 

November 16, 2009 using one of the 

methods listed below. 

The BLM will announce public 

scoping meetings through local news 

media, newsletters, and the BLM Web 

site: http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/fo/ 

jarbidge.html at least 15 days prior to 

the first meeting. The BLM will provide 

additional opportunities for public 

participation upon publication of the 

Draft EIS, including a public comment 

period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on issues related to the proposed project 

by any of the following methods: 

• E-mail: id_chinamtn_eis@blm.gov. 

• Fax: (208) 735–2076. 

• Mail: Project Manager, China 

Mountain EIS, Jarbidge Field Office, 

2536 Kimberly Road, Twin Falls, Idaho 

83301. 

Comments can also be hand-delivered 

to the Jarbidge Field Office at the 

address above. Documents pertinent to 

this proposal may be examined at the 

Jarbidge Field Office. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

China Mountain Wind Project Manager, 

Jarbidge Field Office, 2536 Kimberly 

Road, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301, 

telephone (208) 235–2072. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EIS 

will be prepared in accordance with the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1701 et 

seq.), as amended; the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as 

amended; and the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508). 

China Mountain Wind, LLC, has 

submitted a right-of-way application to 

BLM to build a commercial wind power 

generation facility capable of generating 

up to 425 megawatts (MW) of electricity. 

Up to 185 wind turbines, each having a 

generating capacity between 2.3 and 3.0 

MW, would be installed on an area 

covering approximately 30,700 acres in 

the Jarbidge Foothills, southwest of 

Rogerson, Idaho, and west of Jackpot, 

Nevada. The proposed project area 

includes public land administered by 

the BLM Elko District, Wells Field 

Office in northeastern Nevada, public 

land administered by the BLM Twin 

Falls District, Jarbidge Field Office, 

State of Idaho lands, and private lands 

in south-central Idaho.

BLM–Jarbidge Field Office, Twin 

Falls District, Idaho ................. 15,300

District, Nevada ....................... 4,700 

State of Idaho ............................. 2,000 

Private ......................................... 8,700 

Total ..................................... 30,700 

The turbines proposed for the project 

would have tower heights ranging from 

200 to 250 feet and rotor diameters 

ranging from 250 to 300 feet. Each 

turbine would be set on a large concrete 

foundation. Turbines would be 

connected by underground electrical 

cable to one or two substations. Each 

substation would be sited on a two-acre 

area and would consist of a graveled, 

fenced area containing transformer and 

switching equipment and an area to 

park utility vehicles. Up to 25 miles of 

new three-phase 138 kV or 345 kV 

overhead electric transmission line 

would be constructed from each 

substation to a switching station at the 

point of interconnection with an 

existing transmission line. The new 

transmission line would be supported 

by single steel or double wood poles 

with a distance of 400 to 500 feet 

between poles. Other required facilities 

would include one or two fenced, 

graveled switching stations of 

approximately two acres each; one or 

more Operations and Maintenance 

buildings; approximately 40 miles of 

new access roads; approximately 30 

miles of improved existing road; and a 

temporary concrete batch plant. This 

concrete batch plant would be centrally 

located on the site, occupying an area of 

approximately five acres, and would 

operate during project construction. The 

proposed project would disturb up to 

540 acres on a temporary basis and up 

to 180 acres on a permanent basis, 

following reclamation of construction 

disturbance. 

Approximately 60% of both the 

temporary and permanent impacts 

would be on lands under the 

administration of the BLM and 

approximately 40% would be on State 

of Idaho and private lands. The 

proposed project would operate year 

round for a minimum of 30 years. 

The purpose of the China Mountain 

Wind project, if determined to be 

appropriate, is to construct a wind 

power generation facility that uses wind 

energy resources in an environmentally 

sound manner to meet existing and 

future electricity demands in Idaho and 

Nevada. The proposed project also 

provides for development of renewable 

energy resources as encouraged by the
