SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Silver State Solar, LLC, has submitted a rightof-way (ROW) application for the construction, operation, maintenance, and termination of a solar energy generation facility on 13,183 acres of public land east of Primm, Nevada. The ROW application is assigned BLM case number N–89530. This application expands on the previously considered ROW application N–85801. The proposed solar energy project would consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels and related infrastructure ROW appurtenances, including a substation and switchyard facilities, and would produce about 350 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The solar field and infrastructure would consist of singleaxis tracker systems or fixed panels, an underground and overhead electrical power collection system, two step-up transformers, 230 kilovolt (kV) and 220 kV transmission lines, an operation and maintenance area, a switchyard, paved access and maintenance roads, flood and drainage controls, and a fire break. The Silver State Solar South Project Draft Supplemental EIS will address the new application N–89530 and update as necessary the consideration of N–85801, which was initially analyzed in the Final EIS for the Silver State Solar North Project. The approved Silver State Solar North Project did not authorize ROW application N–85801. The BLM approved a Record of Decision on October 12, 2010, for the Silver State Solar North Project and authorized ROW N–85077 for the construction and operation of a 50 MW PV solar energy facility on 618 acres of BLM administered lands adjacent to the Silver State South project area. The application for N–85801 is now included as part of the Silver State Solar South Project, along with ROW PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62525 application N–89530. If the BLM approves ROW application N–89530, the BLM will also need to amend the October 1998 Las Vegas RMP to address proposed changes in land and resource use within the Jean Lake/Roach Lake Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA). The Draft Supplemental EIS analyzes the site-specific impacts on air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, special designations (SRMA), water resources, and geological resources and hazards. The document will also analyze land and airspace use, noise, paleontological resources, public health, socioeconomics, soils, traffic and transportation, visual resources, wilderness characteristics, waste management, worker safety, fire protection, and hazardous materials handling; as well as facility-design engineering, efficiency, reliability, transmission-system engineering, transmission line safety, and nuisance issues. By this notice, the BLM is complying with requirements in 43 CFR 1610.2(c) to notify the public of potential amendments to land use plans. The BLM will integrate the land use planning process with the NEPA process for this project. Besides the SRMA, the BLM will consider additional plan amendments to the Las Vegas RMP, including a proposed nomination for an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) within the Ivanpah Valley and a Visual Resource Management (VRM) change within the project boundary from Class III to Class IV. As required by 43 C.F.R. 1610.7–2(b), the BLM is also taking public comments on the proposed ACEC. In order to adequately protect the relevant and important values in the proposed 40,180-acre ACEC, the BLM is evaluating whether to impose the following new restrictions: Æ Retaining the lands in Federal ownership; Æ Allowing facilities that provide resource protection; Æ Enhancing the relevant and important (R&I) values and/or addressing human health and safety on a case-by-case basis; Æ Imposing a linear ROW avoidance restriction; Æ Excluding large site-type ROWs (greater than 5 acres); Æ Restoring temporary disturbances to meet the standard BLM restoration standards; and Æ Allowing land use authorizations and small site-type ROWs (5 acres or less) on a case-by-case basis.
