Description: This document originally was intended to be published for agency and public review as a joint environmental analysis prepared by the BLM under FLPMA and NEPA, and by the County under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The County independently certified the CEQA analysis as a Final Environmental Impact Report in compliance with state law, and the BLM now is publishing this Proposed Plan Amendment and Final Environmental Impact Assessment (PA/EIS) pursuant solely to FLPMA and NEPA. Any reference in the document to the EIS/EIR is intended to refer exclusively to the PA/EIS.   This PA/EIS analyzes the impacts of the Alta East Wind Project (AEWP) proposed by Alta Windpower Development LLC (Proponent). The AWEP would generate up to 318 megawatts (MWs) on a 2,592-acre site, which includes BLM-administered public land as well as approximately 568 acres of private land. Project components would include wind turbines, a substation, operation and maintenance facilities, transmission lines, and temporary construction laydown areas.
