Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2019 / Notices
Project (NMNM136976), in Catron
County, New Mexico, within a
boundary that encompasses land
managed by the BLM, the New Mexico
State Land Office (SLO), and private
landowners. The project would be
located south of U.S. Route 60 in Catron
County near Quemado, New Mexico,
and the Arizona-New Mexico border.
Authorization of this proposal requires
an amendment to the 2010 Socorro
Field Office RMP to modify the visual
resource management class in the
project area and to modify a right-ofway avoidance area.
The Draft EIS addresses the direct,
indirect, and cumulative environmental
impacts of the Proposed Action,
Alternative 1 (optimize the proposed
wind facility components in order to
minimize potential environmental
impacts), Alternative 2 (change in the
turbine generation types), and the No
Action Alternative. Alternatives 1 and 2
would be constructed, operated, and
maintained within the same project
area. The Proposed Action and
Alternative 1 would construct 40
turbines. However, because of the
difference in type of turbine, Alternative
2 would only construct 34 turbines. The
No Action Alternative would be a
continuation of existing conditions.
A Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS
for the proposed Borderlands Wind
Project was published in the Federal
Register on November 9, 2018 (83 FR
56097). The public scoping period
closed on December 10, 2018. The BLM
held one public scoping meeting on
November 14, 2018. The BLM received
51 public scoping comment submissions
during the 45-day scoping period. The
scoping comments focused on wildlife,
visual and cultural resources, light
pollution, human health, local
economic benefits, and property values.
The BLM continues to consult with
Indian tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with
Executive Order 13175 and other
policies. Tribal concerns, including
potential impacts to cultural resources,
will be given due consideration.
