Download as PDF 23276 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 18, 2012 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES amended), while recognizing the potential compatibility of solar generation facilities with other uses on public lands, requires that all sites proposed for power generation or transmission not already identified in the CDCA Plan be considered through the plan amendment process. If the BLM decides to grant a ROW, the BLM would amend the CDCA Plan as required based on guidance in the BLM Land Use Planning Handbook (H–1601–1). The Draft EIS Analyzes 12 Alternatives Four no action/no development alternatives (Alternative 1: No Action (No Plan Amendment), Alternative 2: No Project Alternative (with Plan Amendment to Find the Site Suitable for Solar), Alternative 3: No Project Alternative (with Plan Amendment to Find the Site Unsuitable for Solar), Alternative A: No Gen-Tie), Four generation plan development alternatives (Alternative 4: Proposed Solar Project, Alternative 5: Solar Project Excluding WHMA, Alternative 6: Reduced Footprint Solar Project Alternative 7: High-Profile Reduced Footprint Solar Project), and Four transmission line alternatives (Alternative B: Proposed Gen-Tie (Shared Towers), Alternative C: Separate Transmission Towers within Same ROW, Alternative D: Cross-Valley Alignment, Alternative E: New CrossValley Alignment). The BLM has identified Alternative 7 as the preferred alternative for the generation plant, and Alternative B as the preferred alternative for the transmission line. The Draft EIS analyzes the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the Proposed Action and alternatives to the affected resources identified by the BLM and the public during project scoping. The BLM published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS on September 15, 2011, in the Federal Register Volume 76, Number 179. Publication of the NOI began a 30-day scoping period, which ended on October 17, 2011. The BLM provided a Web site with project information that also described the various methods of providing public comment on the project, including an email address for the BLM to receive scoping comments electronically. Notifications for public scoping meetings were posted on the BLM’s Web site. Additionally, notices were sent to all landowners within 300 feet of the project boundary and to other interested parties during the week of September 19, 2011. Public Scoping Meetings were held on October 3, 2011, at the University of Riverside Palm Desert Graduate Center and at the Lake Tamarisk Clubhouse. An VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:25 Apr 17, 2012 Jkt 226001 additional public scoping meeting was held on October 6, 2011, at the Joshua Tree Community Center. Attendees were documented through a voluntary sign-in sheet, and included 6 attendees at the University of Riverside Palm Desert Graduate Center along with KMIR TV; 30 attendees at the Lake Tamarisk Clubhouse; and 7 attendees at the Joshua Tree Community Center. A court reporter documented the questions and public comments made at the three scoping meetings. Attendees included residents from Desert Center and Lake Tamarisk, federal and state agency representatives, nearby business owners, Tribes, Chamber of Commerce members, and an environmental group representative. Twelve comment letters were received within the scoping period. Comments received at the public meetings and through the submitted letters identified the following issues and concerns to be considered when developing the EIS: the BLM’s purpose and need, monitoring, decommissioning, public participation, biological resources, climate change, air resources, fire and fuels management, lands and realty, recreation, social and economic resources, environmental justice, water resources, solid and hazardous wastes, visual resources, cumulative impacts, and alternatives development. The BLM considered these comments in developing the Draft EIS and Draft CDCA Plan Amendment. The BLM used an updated inventory of wilderness characteristics to determine that none of the project area has wilderness characteristics. This information was used in the preparation of the Draft EIS and Draft CDCA Plan Amendment.
