Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Sonoran Solar Energy
Project, Maricopa County, AZ
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), Phoenix District
Office, Lower Sonoran Field Office
intends to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to address
potential effects of a proposed solar
energy project by Boulevard Associates,
LLC and by this notice is announcing
the beginning of the scoping process
and soliciting input on the
identification of issues.
DATES: The BLM will announce public
scoping meetings to identify relevant
issues through news media,
newspapers, and BLM’s Web site
(https://www.blm.gov/az/st/en.html) at
least 15 days prior to each meeting. We
will provide additional opportunities
for public participation upon
publication of the Draft EIS, including a
45-day public comment period.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted by either of the following
methods:
• Mail: Sonoran Solar Energy Project,
• ATTN: Joe Incardine, National
Project Manager, BLM Phoenix District
Office, Lower Sonoran Field Office,
21605 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix,

purpose of the public scoping process is
to determine relevant issues that will

influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the planning
process. Boulevard Associates, LLC has
applied to BLM for a right of way (ROW)
on public lands to construct a
concentrated solar thermal (CST) power
plant, a 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission
line, water supply facilities, a natural
gas pipeline, an access road, and other
related facilities in the Little Rainbow
Valley, east of State Route 85, and south
of the Buckeye Hills and the town of
Buckeye in Maricopa County, Arizona.
The facility would be expected to
operate for approximately 30 years. A
ROW grant for the construction,
operation, and maintenance of this
Project would be required from BLM.
Additional applicable permits from
Federal, State and local agencies may
also be required.
Boulevard Associates, LLC would
construct up to 375 megawatts (MW) of
solar thermal electrical generation with
options for natural gas backup and/or
thermal storage capabilities. The solar
facility would consist of solar fields
made up of single-axis-tracking
parabolic trough solar collectors. Each
collector contains a linear parabolicshaped reflector (glass mirrors) that
focuses the sun’s direct radiation on a
heat collection element located at the
focal point of the parabola. The
collectors would track the sun from east
to west during the day to ensure the sun
is continuously focused on the linear
receiver. A heat transfer fluid would be
heated as it passes through the receivers
and then circulated through a series of
heat exchangers to generate highpressure superheated steam. The steam
would power a conventional steam
turbine generator which produces
electricity. The plant would be made up
of one or more power blocks. Each
power block would be located near the
center of its respective solar field and
would contain multiple feedwater
heaters, steam generators, steam
superheaters, and feedwater pumps.
To optimize the output capacity of the
project, both natural gas backup and/or
thermal energy storage would be used as
needed. Natural gas backup would
include the addition of a partial or full
load burner arrangement that would
generate additional steam when solar
energy is absent or insufficient by itself.
Annual output from natural gas would
be limited to 25 percent of annual
capacity to ensure that the plant
remains predominantly a solar powered
facility. Thermal energy storage would
provide the option of transferring some
or all of the solar energy into molten salt
contained in insulated tanks. Using heat
exchangers and pumps designed for
