SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PSEGS project is approximately 10 miles east of Desert Center in Riverside County, California, on BLMadministered land. The BLM published a Final EIS analyzing the original PSPP on May 13, 2011 (76 FR 28064); a record of decision was never signed. BrightSource Energy (BSE) took over the project in 2012. BSE and its project partner, Abengoa, through the project holding company, Palen Solar III, LLC, have filed with the BLM a revised Plan of Development (POD) that proposes a change from the PSPP solar thermal parabolic trough technology to a solar thermal power tower technology. The revised project would generate approximately 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity and would encompass 3,896 acres. The proposed project consists of the construction of two power plant units with a net generating capacity of up to 250MWs each, consisting of two 750foot tall power tower solar receivers that would be driven by a field of heliostats, whereas the PSPP Final EIS proposed parabolic trough receivers. The PSEGS would be developed entirely within the facility footprint previously analyzed by the PSPP Final EIS, with the exception of a slight modification in the westernmost portion of the generation tie-line to accommodate the relocation of the Red Bluff Substation and to align the transmission corridors of the project with existing transmission generation tie-lines from other approved generation projects. Additional infrastructure would include an electrical switchyard, a natural gas pipeline and an access road. The CDCA Plan, while recognizing the potential compatibility of solar VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:14 Jul 30, 2013 Jkt 229001 generation facilities with other uses on public lands, requires that all sites proposed for power generation or transmission generation tie-lines greater than 161 kilovolts (kV), not already identified in the CDCA Plan be considered through the plan amendment process. This Draft Supplement EIS incorporates and supplements the analysis of the plan amendment contained in the Final EIS. 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). Palen Solar III, LLC, is anticipating construction to begin in early 2014 and take approximately 34 months in order to meet the PSEGS delivery obligations under existing approved power purchase agreements with California utilities. The PSEGS facility has an anticipated operational life of 25 to 30 years. Accordingly, Palen Solar III, LLC, is requesting a right-of-way grant from the BLM for an initial period of 30 years. The 2011 PSPP Final EIS considered solar power tower technology but did not analyze it in detail. The Draft Supplemental EIS analyzes in detail an alternative to utilize this technology, including additional site-specific impacts resulting from the change in technology and additional ancillary facilities or relocation of facilities. This includes impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, water resources, geological resources and hazards, hazardous materials handling, noise, paleontological resources, public health, socioeconomics, soils, traffic and transportation, visual resources, waste management, worker safety and fire protection, as well as facility design engineering, efficiency, reliability, transmission system engineering and transmission line safety and nuisance.
