SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Proposed RMPA/Final EIS was prepared
by the BLM in consultation with
cooperating agencies, Tribes, and the
public. UNEV is proposing to construct
and operate a 400-mile long, 12-inch
diameter refined liquid petroleum
products pipeline that would originate
in Woods Cross, Utah, with terminals
northwest of Cedar City, Utah, and near
Apex, Nevada. The southernmost 150
miles of the pipeline alignment would
generally follow the existing Kern River
pipeline corridor. Project elements
would be located in Davis, Salt Lake,
Tooele, Juab, Millard, Beaver, Iron, and
Washington Counties in Utah; and
Lincoln and Clark Counties in Nevada.
The pipeline would also cross the
Reservation of the Moapa Band of the
Paiute Tribe in southern Nevada.
Permanent facilities would include
access roads to all above-ground
structures (including valves, pipeline
surface access points, and receiving
equipment). Temporary facilities would
include construction and equipment
storage yards and extra workspace for
pipe assembly.
The document proposes to amend the
Pony Express Resource Management
Plan so that it would be consistent with
the grant of a right-of-way for a major
pipeline. The proposed amendment
would also establish a new utility
corridor to accommodate a portion of
the proposed pipeline right-of-way on
lands administered by the BLM Salt
Lake Field Office. The right-of-way
would be 100-feet wide, 50 feet on
either side of the centerline of the
proposed pipeline. From Milepost 50
through the Tooele County-Juab County
boundary, on BLM-administered lands
only, the right-of-way would be within
a newly established 3,960 feet wide
(0.75 miles) corridor administered by
the Salt Lake Field Office. The
remainder of the right-of-way on BLMadministered lands would be consistent
with the RMPs regulating activities on
those lands so no other RMP
amendments are needed. There are four
Action Alternatives to the Proposed
Action. These include the Airport,
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:07 Apr 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
Tooele County, Rush Lake, and Millard
County Alternatives. Each of these
alternatives would essentially re-route a
portion of the Proposed Action
alignment to address various resource
concerns or to respond to local issues
that were raised during public scoping.
The Preferred Alternative remains the
same as identified in the Draft RMPA/
Draft EIS published on December 19,
2008. The Preferred Alternative as
identified by the BLM incorporates each
of the alternative alignments identified
for the Airport, Tooele County, Rush
Lake, and Millard County Alternatives
into the Proposed Action alignment.
Comments on the Draft RMPA/Draft EIS
received from the public and internal
BLM review were considered and
incorporated, as appropriate, into the
Proposed RMPA/Final EIS. Public
comments resulted in the addition of
clarifying text, but did not significantly
change proposed land use plan
decisions.
Instructions for filing a protest with
the Director of the BLM regarding the
Proposed RMPA/Final EIS may be
found in the ‘‘Dear Reader Letter’’ of the
UNEV Liquid Petroleum Products
Pipeline and Pony Express Proposed
RMPA/Final EIS and at 43 CFR 1610.5–
2. E-mail and faxed protests will not be
accepted as valid protests unless the
protesting party also provides the
original letter by either regular or
overnight mail postmarked by the close
of the protest period. Under these
conditions, the BLM will consider the email or faxed protest as an advance copy
and it will receive full consideration. If
you wish to provide the BLM with such
advance notification, please direct faxed
protests to the attention of the BLM
protest coordinator at (202) 912–7212,
and e-mails to Brenda_HudgensWilliams@blm.gov.
All protests, including the follow-up
letter to e-mails or faxes, must be in
writing and mailed to the appropriate
address, as set forth in the ADDRESSES
section above.
Before including your phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your protest,
you should be aware that your entire
protest—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your protest to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Bright
Source Energy has applied for a right-ofway grant on public land to develop a
400-megawatt solar thermal power plant
on approximately 4,073 acres of public
land 4.5 miles south of Primm, Nevada
in San Bernardino County, California.
The BLM published a Notice of
Availability of the Draft Ivanpah Solar
Electric Generation System EIS and the
Draft California Desert Conservation
Area Plan Amendment in the Federal
Register on November 10, 2009 (74 FR
58043). The Draft EIS was available for
a 90-day public comment period which
closed on February 11, 2010. This
Supplemental Draft EIS analyzes two
additional alternatives: (1) Reducing the
footprint of the ISEGS in order to reduce
impacts to sensitive plant and animal
species; and (2) relocating a portion of
the ISEGS closer to the Interstate 15
corridor. The Supplemental Draft EIS
also clarifies the BLM’s purpose and
need for the project. The Supplemental
Draft EIS does not address comments
received on the Draft EIS other than
those relevant to the above listed
elements of the Supplemental Draft EIS.
Comments on the Draft EIS that refer to
issues other than the two alternatives
listed above will be addressed in the
ISEGS Final EIS. The Supplemental
Draft EIS does not propose any changes
to the proposed plan amendment to the
California Desert Conservation Area
Plan as outlined in the ISEGS Draft EIS.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail 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
