Enhanced Use Lease Project
AGENCY:

Force.
ACTION:
Notice of intent.
The United States Air Force
(The Air Force) is issuing this notice to

alternatives for development of the
Edwards Air Force Base Solar Enhanced
Use Lease Project.

Comments will be accepted at any
time during the environmental impact
analysis process. However, to ensure the
Air Force has sufficient time to consider
public input in the preparation of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement,
scoping comments should be submitted
by January 12, 2017.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Solar
Enhanced Use Lease Project will be
sited up to 4,000 acres of available, nonexcess Air Force land located on
Edwards Air Force Base. Alternatives
which meet the purpose and need for
the Proposed Action have been
identified and include the No Action
Alternative and two additional
alternatives. Alternative A includes fullscale project development of a 600
Megawatt solar PV project and
construction of a 150 Megawatt battery
storage facility on up to 4,000 acres of
Edwards Air Force Base property
located in the northwestern corner of
the base. Alternative B represents a
reduced-scale alternative for the
construction and operation of a 200
Megawatt solar PV project and
construction of a 150 Megawatt battery
storage facility. Under Alternative B, the
reduced-scale project will be sited on up
to 1,500 acres of Edwards Air Force
Base non-excess property within the
same project footprint as Alternative A.
The project also includes construction
of a Gen-tie line of approximately 10–
14 miles in total length. The Gen-tie
includes a north-south component and
an east-west component. There are three
alternatives for the north-south Gen-tie
connection. The Proposed Action will
include only one of these three northsouth route options. There are two
alternatives for the east-west Gen-tie
connection. The Proposed Action will
include only one of these two east-west
route options. The Proposed Action is
subject to the requirements and
objectives of Executive Order 11988,
Floodplain Management, as amended.
All alternatives for the Proposed Action,
including alternatives for the Gen-tie
line will result in impacts to
floodplains.
Scoping and Agency Coordination: To
effectively define the full range of issues
to be evaluated in the Environmental
Impact Statement and Environmental
Impact Report, the Air Force will
determine the scope of the analysis by
soliciting comments from interested
local, state and federal elected officials
and agencies, as well as interested
members of the public and others.
Implementation of the Edwards Solar
Enhanced Use Lease Project would have
the potential to be located in a
floodplain and/or wetland. Consistent

with the requirements and objectives of
Executive Order 11990, ‘‘Protection of
Wetlands,’’ and Executive Order 11988,
‘‘Floodplain Management,’’ as amended
by Executive Order 13690, ‘‘Establishing
a Federal Flood Risk Management
Standard and a Process for Further
Soliciting and Considering Stakeholder
Input,’’ state and federal regulatory
agencies with special expertise in
wetlands and floodplains will be
contacted to request comment.
Consistent with Executive Order 11988,
Executive Order 13690, and Executive
Order 11990, this Notice of Intent
initiates early public review of the
alternatives that have the potential to be
located in a floodplain and/or wetland.
Notification of the meeting locations,
dates, and times will be published and
announced in local news media no later
than 15 days prior to public scoping
meetings.
The scoping process will help identify
the full range of reasonable alternatives,
potential impacts, and key issues to be
emphasized in the environmental
analysis. The Air Force has identified
potential impacts to the following
resources: Air Quality, Biological
Resources, Cultural and Historical
Resources, Water Resources, Land Use,
Paleontological Resources, Soils, and
Visual Resources. Scoping will assist
the Air Force and Kern County in
identifying and addressing other issues
of concern.
Oral and written comments presented
at the public scoping meetings, as well
as written comments received by the Air
Force or County of Kern will be
considered in the preparation of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
and Environmental Report.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison
