SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Proposed Project is to
construct a 350 megawatt (MW) solar
generation facility and associated
infrastructure on the Reservation,
including the development of a 12 kV
transmission line and water line along
with obtaining a grant of easement on
BLM lands for an up to 500 kV
transmission line and access roads. The
primary need for the Proposed Project is
to provide land lease income,
sustainable renewable resources, new
jobs and other benefits for the Tribe by
using solar resources from Reservation
lands where exposure to levels of high
solar radiation exists. A secondary need
for the Proposed Project is to assist
utilities in meeting their renewable
energy goals by providing electricity
generated from solar resources from
tribal lands that may be efficiently
connected to existing transmission lines
in a manner that minimizes adverse site
impacts.
The proposed Federal action is the
BIA approval of a solar energy ground
lease and agreements entered into by the
Tribe with KRoad Moapa Solar LLC
(KRoad), and approval of rights-of-way
(ROW) and easements for KRoad to
construct, operate and maintain an upto 350 MW solar photovoltaic electricity
generating facility on the Reservation.
The proposed Federal action also
includes the BLM approval of the up-to
500 kV transmission line and access
road ROW’s within an existing utility
corridor, of which 5.0 miles are located
on the Reservation and 0.5 miles are
located on BLM land just south of the
Reservation boundary. The BIA and
BLM will use the EIS to make decisions
on the land lease and ROW applications
under their respective jurisdiction while
the EPA and USACE may use the
document to make decisions under their
authorities. The Tribe may also use the
EIS to make decisions under their Tribal
Environmental Policy Ordinance and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may
use the EIS to support its decision under
the Endangered Species Act.
Directions for Submitting Comments:
Please include your name, return
address and the caption ‘‘DEIS
Comments, Proposed KRoad Moapa
Solar Generation Facility’’ on the first
page of your written comments.
Locations where the DEIS is Available
for Review: The DEIS may be found on
