Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Mohave County Wind
Farm Project, Mohave County, AZ
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 as
amended, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Kingman Field
Office, Kingman, Arizona, intends to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and, by this notice, is
announcing the beginning of a second
scoping process to solicit public
comments and identify issues. The
original Notice of Intent (NOI) was
published in the Federal Register on
November 20, 2009 (74 FR 60289). This
new notice reflects significant changes
to the project area.
DATES: This notice initiates a second
public scoping process for this EIS.
Comments on issues may be submitted
in writing until August 25, 2010. The
dates and locations of any scoping
meetings will be announced at least 15
days in advance through the local news
media, newspapers, and the BLM Web
site at: https://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/
prog/energy/wind/mohave.html. In
order to be included in the Draft EIS, all
comments must be received prior to the
close of the scoping period or 15 days
after the last public meeting, whichever
is later. We will provide additional
opportunities for public participation
upon publication of the Draft EIS.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
related to the Mohave County Wind
Project by any of the following methods:

you need more information or want to

Project Manager, telephone (505) 360–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: British
Petroleum Wind Energy North America
(BPWE), has applied for a right-of-way
(ROW) authorization to construct,
operate and maintain a 500 megawatt
(MW) wind farm on approximately
31,338 acres of Federal land managed by
the BLM and approximately 8,960 acres
of Federal land managed by the Bureau
of Reclamation (BOR), totaling
approximately 40,298 acres of Federal
land. The project area is located in the
White Hills area approximately 40 miles
northwest of Kingman, Arizona,
approximately 9 miles south of the
Colorado River, and approximately 20
miles southeast of Hoover Dam. The
project will consist of up to 335 wind
turbine generators (WTGs). Construction
may consist of multiple phases for
access roads and ancillary facilities. The
WTGs are anticipated to range in
productive output from 1.5 to 3.0 MW
each. To the extent possible, existing
roads would be used for access to the
project, supplemented with internal
access/service roads to each WTG.
Ancillary facilities may include padmounted transformers, an underground
34.5-kilovolt (kV) electrical collection
system between the turbines,
distribution connector lines (either
underground or above-ground) tying the
turbine strings to either a 345- or 500kV electrical substation, and either a
345- or 500-kV overhead transmission
line from the substation to a new
switchyard where the project would
interconnect with an existing
transmission line in the area.
BPWE submitted a prior application
for this project requesting a ROW
authorization to construct, operate, and
maintain a 500 MW wind farm on
approximately 45,420 acres of Federal
lands managed by the BLM; the prior
application also anticipated that WTGs
could be placed on approximately 4,360

acres of private lands. The BLM
published the first NOI for this project
in the Federal Register on November 20,
2009. As a result of feedback received in
the first scoping period and BPWE’s
further refinement of its proposal for the
project, approximately 13,522 acres of
Federal lands managed by the BLM
were removed from the requested ROW
area, the project was revised to
eliminate construction of WTGs on the
approximately 4,360 acres of private
lands, and approximately 8,960 acres of
Federal lands managed by the BOR were
added to the requested ROW area. In
addition, the revised application also
seeks authorization from BLM for a
linear ROW to allow construction of a
transmission line to connect to the
existing Moenkopi-El Dorado
transmission line, approximately 6
miles south of the project area. As a
result of these changes to the
application and to further agency and
public information about, and
involvement in, the BLM’s review of the
application, this second NOI is being
published and further scoping
comments are solicited.
The 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 process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issues: Access requirements; air quality
during construction; cultural and
historical resources; areas with high
mineral potential; noise; sensitive soils
and geology; recreation resources;
socioeconomics; threatened and
endangered species; visual resources;
water resources; land with wilderness
characteristics; and wildlife habitats. A
Scoping Report summarizing the issues
generated by public involvement for the
original scoping period that concluded
on January 8, 2010, is available at:
https://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/
energy/wind/mohave.html.
In accordance with the National
Historic Preservation Act, the BLM
seeks to obtain the views of the public
relating to the potential effects of the
proposed project on historic properties,
including prehistoric and historic sites,
historic structures, and places of
traditional cultural importance. Native
American tribal consultations will be
conducted in accordance with BLM’s
policy contained in BLM Manual 8120,
and tribal concerns, including impacts
on Indian trust assets, will be given due
consideration. Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with other stakeholders
that may be interested or affected by the
BLM’s decision on this project, are
invited to participate in the scoping
