The Bureau of Land

availability of the Record of Decision
(ROD)/Approved Plan Amendment (PA)
to the California Desert Conservation
Area (CDCA) Plan for the Chevron
Energy Solutions (CES) Lucerne Valley
Solar Project located in San Bernardino
County, California. The Secretary of the
Interior approved the ROD on October 5,
2010 which constitutes the final
decision of the Department.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD/
Approved PA are available upon request
at the BLM’s California Desert District
Office, 22835 Calle San Juan de Los
Lagos, Moreno Valley, California 92553
or via the Internet at https://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Lucerne Valley Solar Project was
proposed by CES. The Lucerne Valley
Solar Project involves a 422-acre rightof-way (ROW) authorization to construct
and operate a 45-megawatt (MW) solar
photovoltaic project which would
connect to an existing Southern
California Edison 33 kilovolt
distribution system. The approved
project will include the power
generation facility, a new switchyard,
control/maintenance building, parking
area, and set-back area. A portion of
Zircon Road will also be relocated.
Pursuant to BLM’s CDCA Plan (1980,
as amended), sites associated with
power generation or transmission not
identified in the CDCA Plan will be
considered through the plan
amendment process. As a result, prior to
approval of a ROW grant for the Lucerne
Valley Solar Project, the BLM must
amend the CDCA Plan to allow a solar

generating project on this site. The
Approved PA revises the CDCA Plan to
allow for the development of the
Lucerne Valley Solar Project on 422
acres of land managed by the BLM with
other ancillary structures and facilities.
The selected alternative (up to 45 MW
of generated power) is a combination of
Alternative 3, the Proposed Action, and
Alternative 4, Modified Site Layout.
This combination of alternatives
includes all of the features in
Alternative 4, with the exception of
rerouting some of the surface water
drainage to provide additional water to
the vegetative screen area. The surface
water would follow the natural
pathways as identified in Alternative 3.
The Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Proposed PA was published
in the Federal Register on August 13,
2010 (75 FR 49515), initiating a 30-day
protest period and concurrent 30-day
comment period.
Two comment letters and one protest
letter were received, considered, and
incorporated as appropriate into the
ROD/Approved PA. Public comments
and protests did not significantly
change the decisions in the ROD/
Approved PA. The State of California
Governor’s consistency review did not
identify any inconsistencies between
the proposed project and state and local
plans, policies or programs.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Stirling
Energy Systems (SES) filed right-of-way
(ROW) application CACA–47740 for the
proposed SES Solar Two Project. After
merging with Tessera Solar, the
applicant changed its name to Imperial
Valley Solar, LLC, and changed the
name of the project to the Imperial
Valley Solar LLC (IVS) project. The IVS
project is a concentrated solar electrical
generating facility using the proprietary
SunCatcher technology and facilities.
The IVS project site is proposed on
approximately 6,360 acres of BLMmanaged lands in Imperial County,
California, approximately 4 miles east of
the community of Ocotillo, and 14 miles
west of the City of El Centro. In addition
to the SunCatcher fields site, the project
includes an 230 kilovolt electrical
transmission line that encumbers
approximately 93 acres of public lands
from the site to an off-site existing San
Diego Gas and Electric substation, a
water supply pipeline that encumbers
approximately 4 acres of public lands
from an off-site water treatment plant to
the project site, and a new 230 kilovolt
substation, a main services complex,
with other ancillary structures and
facilities within the project site.
The project site is in the California
Desert District within the planning
boundary of the CDCA Plan, which is
the applicable RMP for the project site
and the surrounding areas. The CDCA
Plan, while recognizing the potential
compatibility of solar generation
facilities on public lands, requires that
all sites associated with power
generation or transmission not already
identified in that Plan be considered
through the BLM’s land use plan
amendment process. As a result, prior to
approval of a ROW grant for the IVS
project, the BLM must amend the CDCA

Plan to allow that solar generating
project on that site. The Approved
Amendment to the CDCA Plan
specifically revises the CDCA Plan to
allow for the development of the IVS
project on the 6,360 acres of land
managed by the BLM with other
ancillary structures and facilities.
The BLM preferred alternative would
result in the placement of
approximately 28,360 SunCatchers on
the site capable of generating
approximately 709 megawatts (MW) of
electricity. The 709 MW Alternative was
not evaluated in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS);
it is a modification of the 750 MW
project evaluated in the Draft EIS. The
709 MW Alternative was evaluated in
the Final EIS. The Notice of Availability
of the Final EIS for the IVS project and
the proposed CDCA Plan amendment
was published in the Federal Register
on July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44278).
Publication of the Notice of
Availability for the Final EIS initiated a
30-day protest period for the proposed
amendment to the CDCA Plan. At the
close of the protest period on August 27,
2010, 7 timely and complete written
protests were received and resolved.
Their resolution is summarized in a
Protest Resolution Report attached to
the ROD. The proposed amendment to
the CDCA Plan was not modified as a
result of the protest resolution.
Simultaneous to the protest period, the
Governor of California conducted a 30day consistency review of the proposed
CDCA Plan amendment/Final EIS to
identify any inconsistencies with the
state or local plan, policies, or programs.
The California Governor’s office did not
identify inconsistencies between the
proposed amendment to the CDCA
Plan/Final EIS and state or local plan,
policies, or programs.
Because this decision is approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, it is not
subject to appeal (43 CFR 4.410(a)(3)).
Therefore, the decision is effective
immediately.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.
