SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant, Southern California Edison, 

has requested a right-of-way (ROW) 

authorization to construct a proposed 

electric transmission line and associated 

facilities on public lands located in San 

Bernardino County, California, and 

Clark County, Nevada. The EIS/EIR will 

analyze the site-specific impacts to the 

environment resulting from the 

proposed project. The CPUC is the lead 

State of California agency for the 

licensing of electric transmission 

facilities and, in the present case, for 

compliance with the requirements of 

CEQA. BLM will utilize and coordinate 

the NEPA commenting process to satisfy 

the public involvement process for 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 

470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3). 

Southern California Edison has 

applied for a ROW authorization to 

upgrade and replace an existing 115 kV 

electric transmission line on public 

lands with a new double circuit 220 kV 

electric transmission line. The proposed 

transmission line would handle 

projected electricity produced from 

several renewable energy project 

proposals in and around the Ivanpah 

Valley, including the Ivanpah Solar 

Energy Generation System planned by 

Solar Partners, LLC. The proposed 

electric transmission line and a new 

substation would be constructed within 

an existing designated utility corridor. 

The public lands are managed by BLM 

in accordance with the California Desert 

Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan and the 

Las Vegas Field Office Resource 

Management Plan (RMP). The segment 

of electric transmission line to be 

replaced is approximately 36 miles long 

and originates at the existing Eldorado 

Substation in T. 25 S., R. 62 E., Sec. 1, 

Mount Diablo PM, and terminates at the 

proposed Ivanpah Substation in T. 16 

N., R. 14 E., Sec. 4, San Bernardino PM. 

In addition to the electric 

transmission line, the applicant requires 

telecommunications facilities to operate 

the substation. Primary 

telecommunications would be provided 

with an optical overhead ground wire 

constructed on the proposed electric 

transmission line, and redundant 

telecommunications would be 

established by construction of an 

independent fiber optics cable that will 

be located on other existing electric 

transmission towers owned by the 

applicant. 

BLM will consider approval of the 

proposed Project in a manner that 

avoids or reduces impacts to public 

lands. This action is consistent with 

Federal law and BLM’s policy allowing 

the use of public lands for the 

generation and transmission of electrical 

energy from renewable energy projects 

pursuant to Title V of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) 

and Section 211 of the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 (119 Stat. 594, 660). BLM 

has an established process to respond to 

applications for ROW’s for major 

utilities while protecting the 

environment. The CDCA Plan, the Las 

Vegas Field Office RMP, and the 

FLPMA recognize that public lands will 

be managed for multiple uses and 

emphasize the use of ROW corridors. 

The EIS/EIR will describe and analyze 

the project as proposed and will 

include: (1) Measures to avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate impacts on the 

environment; (2) alternative routes and 

locations for facilities; and (3) the ‘‘No 

Action’’ alternative (no upgrades to the 

existing electric transmission line). 

Through public scoping, BLM expects to 

identify various issues, potential 

impacts, and mitigation measures. As 

proposed, the electric transmission line 

has been sited to take advantage of 

existing designated ROW corridors, 

which are areas identified by BLM land 

use plans as suitable for ROW 

development. 

BLM has identified a potential list of 

issues that will need to be addressed in 

this analysis including but not limited 

to: Social and economic impacts, 

including impacts to the public from 

traffic; ground and surface water 

quantity and quality impacts; plant and 

animal species including special status 

species; cultural resources; and visual 

resource impacts. If approved, the 

electric transmission line project on 

public lands would be authorized in 

accordance with the FLPMA and federal 

regulations at Title 43 Code of Federal 

Regulations Part 2800. 

You may submit comments in writing 

at the public scoping meeting, by mail, 

or via e-mail (see ADDRESSES section 

above). 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.
