SWE
proposed to design, construct, operate,
and maintain an up to 300-megawatt
Hermosa West Wind Energy Project
(Project) in Albany County, Wyoming,
and interconnect that Project with
Western’s transmission system. SWE’s
interconnection request caused Western
to initiate a NEPA review of its Federal
action to allow the interconnection.
Western published a Notice of Intent for
the EIS in the Federal Register on
January 14, 2010 (75 FR 2138), and
started the EIS process. Public scoping
meetings were held subsequent to the
Notice of Intent, and a Draft EIS was
approved by Western’s acting
Administrator for public review and
comment on September 24, 2012. The
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Notice of Availability for the Draft EIS
was published on October 5, 2012 (77
FR 60986). Public hearings on the Draft
EIS were held on October 29 and 30,
2012, in Laramie and Cheyenne,
Wyoming, respectively. SWE has since
decided to suspend further action on its
proposed Project. SWE notified Western
of their decision to withdraw their
interconnection request and Western is
now terminating the NEPA review
process on its interconnection decision
and SWE’s proposed Project. No Final
EIS or Record of Decision will be issued
for the Hermosa West Wind Energy
Project. SWE could decide to reinitiate
the proposed Project at some future
date. In that event Western would issue
a new Notice of Intent, and would
initiate an entirely new NEPA process.
On November 16, 2011, the DOE
General Counsel re-delegated all EIS
authorities to Western’s Administrator.
Under the authority granted by that
memorandum, I have terminated the
NEPA process for SWE’s proposed
Hermosa West Wind Energy Project
with the publication of this notice.
