3248 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 

at the Ten West Link Series 

Compensation Station via an 11-mile 

gen-tie line, built adjacent to the Ten 

West Link 500-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line, and have a generation 

capacity of 700 megawatts or more. 

The BLM’s purpose for action is to 

respond to the Applicant’s application 

for a ROW grant to construct, own, 

operate, maintain, and decommission a 

utility-scale solar PV energy generating 

facility on public lands administered by 

the BLM Colorado River District, Yuma 

Field Office. The need for action is 

established by the BLM’s 

responsibilities under FLPMA and the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005. 

The BLM has prepared a Draft EIS 

with input from cooperating agencies 

and public comments collected during 

scoping to address the direct, indirect, 

and cumulative impacts of the project. 

The Draft EIS analyzes four alternatives. 

Under the No Action Alternative, BLM 

would not approve the ROW and the 

project would not be constructed on 

BLM-administered lands. Under the 

Proposed Action, the BLM would grant 

a ROW for the project, which would 

have a net generating capacity of up to 

700 megawatts alternating current and 

span 5,029 acres administered by the 

BLM. The project would include solar 

PV modules, DC cabling and combining 

switchgear, inverters, voltage collection 

systems, transformers, monitoring and 

controls systems, operations and 

maintenance facilities, above-ground 

electrical connection lines, and 

potentially a battery energy storage 

system and project substation. The 

project would connect into the regional 

transmission system via the Ten West 

Link 500kV Series Compensation 

Station. The Applicant has incorporated 

numerous design features into the 

proposed project that would be 

approved by the Proposed Action to 

avoid or minimize adverse 

environmental effects during 

construction, operation, and 

decommissioning, including an 

unfenced wildlife movement corridor to 

allow wildlife access to habitat in a 

nearby desert wash. These plans and 

procedures are provided as appendices 

to the Proposed Plan of Development 

and the Draft EIS. 

The Access-Retention Alternative 

would employ the same technology and 

design as under the Proposed Action but 

would also incorporate additional 

public access route corridors based on 

existing inventoried routes within the 

solar array area. 

The Soils-Focused Alternative would 

employ the same technology and design 

as under the Proposed Action but would 

also include special management 

actions to minimize impacts on 

established desert pavements within the 

project site. A Desert Pavement 

Management Plan would further 

minimize the vegetation loss and 

fugitive dust emissions and accelerate 

surface reclamation outcomes following 

construction and decommissioning. All 

design features present under the 

Proposed Action would apply to the 

Soils-Focused Alternative. The BLM has 

identified the Soils-Focused Alternative 

as the agency’s preferred alternative. 

Information acquired during the Draft 

EIS public comment period will inform 

the BLM’s ultimate decision to select 

any of the four alternatives. 

The BLM Authorized Officer will 

decide whether to issue a ROW grant to 

the Applicant for the project and, if so, 

the terms and conditions that would 

apply. The Colorado River District 

Manager is the Authorized Officer who 

will sign the Record of Decision for the 

project, informed by the information 

and analyses in the EIS. 

The BLM is the lead Federal agency 

and is responsible for compliance with 

NEPA (including preparation of this 

EIS) and consultations required by the 

National Historic Preservation Act and 

the Endangered Species Act. The 

following Tribal Nations and other 

agencies that may have jurisdiction, 

special expertise, or interest in the 

project have agreed to participate in the 

NEPA process as cooperating agencies: 

Arizona Department of Transportation, 

Arizona Game and Fish Department, La 

Paz County, Fort Yuma-Quechan Tribe, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. 

Department of Defense, EPA, and U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service. The BLM has 

a signed memorandum of understanding 

with each cooperating agency to identify 

its roles and responsibilities and those 

of the BLM in the process. 

A virtual public meeting will be held 

2 to 3 weeks after publication of this 

notice; the meeting date will be 

announced on the project’s ePlanning 

website at least 15 days prior to the 

meeting (see ADDRESSES). The public 

meeting will include a presentation and 

opportunity to speak with the project 

team. 

The BLM encourages the public to 

review the Draft EIS and provide 

comments on the adequacy of the 

alternatives, analysis of effects, and any 

new information that would help the 

BLM disclose potential impacts of the 

project in the Final EIS. 

The BLM will continue to consult 

with Indian Tribal Nations on a 

government-to-government basis in 

accordance with Executive Order 13175, 

BLM MS 1780, and other Departmental 

policies. Tribal concerns, including 

impacts on Indian trust assets and 

potential impacts to cultural resources, 

will be given due consideration. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email 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. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
