DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[BLM_AZ_FRN_MO4500181293] 

Notice of Segregation of Public Lands 

for the Pinyon Solar Project, Maricopa 

County, Arizona and Elisabeth Solar 

Project, Yuma County, Arizona County, 

Utah 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In connection with its 

consideration of the right-of-way (ROW) 

application (AZA38172) for the Pinyon 

Solar Project, and the proposed plan of 

development for the Elisabeth Solar 

Project, for which the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) previously issued a 

right-of-way lease (AZA38371), the BLM 

is segregating 4,439.92 acres of public 

lands from appropriation under the 

public land laws, including location 

under the Mining Law of 1872, but not 

the Mineral Leasing Act or Material 

Sales Act, for a period of 2 years from 

the date of publication of this notice, 

subject to valid existing rights. This 

segregation is to allow for the orderly 

administration of the public lands and 

to facilitate consideration of 

development of renewable energy 

resources. 

DATES: The segregation of the lands 

identified in this notice is effective on 

December 12, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information and/or to have your 

name added to the project mailing list, 

send requests to: Derek Eysenbach, 

Project Manager, at telephone (602) 

417–9505; address 1 N. Central Ave., 

Suite 800, Phoenix, AZ 85004; or email 

deysenbach@blm.gov. Individuals in the 

United States who are deaf, deafblind, 

hard of hearing, or have a speech 

disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

telecommunications relay services for 

contacting Derek Eysenbach. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered 

within their country to make 

international calls to the point-of 

contact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations found at 43 CFR 2091.3– 

1(e) and 2804.25(f) allow the BLM to 

temporarily segregate public lands 

described within a ROW application for 

solar energy development from the 

operation of the public land laws, 

including the Mining Law, by 

publication of a notice in the Federal 

Register. The BLM uses the temporary 

segregation authority to preserve the 

ability to approve, approve with 

modifications, or deny a proposed 

ROW, and to facilitate the orderly 

administration of the public lands. This 

temporary segregation is subject to valid 

existing rights. 

The BLM previously segregated the 

public lands associated with the Pinyon 

and Elisabeth Solar Projects in a notice 

of segregation published in the Federal 

Register on December 8, 2022 (87 FR 

75283). 

265BH 8me, LLC, a subsidiary of 

Avantus, LLC, submitted a right-of-way 

application to the BLM Lower Sonoran 

Field Office for the Pinyon Solar Project 

requesting authorization to construct, 

operate, maintain, and eventually 

decommission a 300-megawatt 

photovoltaic solar electric generating 

facility and ancillary facilities. On 

January 30, 2024, the BLM initiated an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) by 

opening a public scoping period. The 

BLM is currently preparing an EA and 

in consultation with the applicant, 

requires additional time to complete the 

assessment and reach a decision. 

Elisabeth Solar, LLC, a subsidiary of 

Leeward Renewable Energy, LLC, and 

the BLM executed a right-of-way lease 

within the Agua Caliente Solar Energy 

Zone on September 16, 2022. On

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 239 / Thursday, December 12, 2024 / Notices 100521 

September 29, 2023, the BLM initiated 

an EA to consider Elisabeth Solar, LLC’s 

proposed plan of development for the 

Elisabeth Solar Project within the lease 

area. On July 25, 2024, a Draft EA was 

made available for public comment. The 

BLM is currently preparing a Final EA 

and in consultation with the applicant, 

needs additional time to complete the 

assessment and reach a decision.

notice are described as follows:

As provided in the regulations under

For a period until December 12, 2026, 

subject to valid existing rights, the 

public lands described in this notice 

will be segregated from appropriation 

under the public land laws, including 

location under the Mining Law of 1872, 

but not from leasing under the mineral 

and geothermal leasing laws, or disposal 

under the Mineral Materials Act, while 

the ROW application is being processed. 

Licenses, permits, cooperative 

agreements, or discretionary land use 

authorizations of a temporary nature 

that will not significantly impact the 

application area may be allowed with 

the approval of the authorized officer of 

the BLM during the segregation period. 

The segregation period will terminate 

and the lands will automatically open to 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the Mining Law, at the 

earliest of the following dates: upon 

issuance of a decision by the authorized 

officer granting, granting with 

modifications, or denying the 

application for a ROW; without further 

administrative action at the end of the 

segregation period; or upon publication 

of a Federal Register notice terminating 

the segregation and opening the lands.
