Statement for the Arrow Canyon Solar
Project on the Moapa River Indian
Reservation, Clark County, Nevada
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA), as lead agency in cooperation
with the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians
(Moapa Band) and other agencies,
intends to prepare a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
that will evaluate the expansion of the
previously approved Moapa Solar
Energy Center (MSEC) Project on the
Moapa River Indian Reservation
(Reservation). This project is now
referred to as the Arrow Canyon Solar
Project (Project) and this notice
announces the beginning of the scoping
process to solicit public comments and
identify potential issues related to the
expansion. It also announces that two
public scoping meetings will be held in
Nevada to identify potential issues,
alternatives, and mitigation to be
considered in the SEIS.
DATES: Written comments on the scope
of the Project or implementation of the
proposal must arrive by Monday, March
2, 2020. The dates and locations of the
public scoping meetings will be
published in the Las Vegas Sun, Las
Vegas Review-Journal, and Moapa
Valley Progress at least 15 days before
the scoping meetings.
ADDRESSES: You may mail, email, or
hand carry written comments to Mr.
Chip Lewis, BIA Western Regional
Office, 2600 North Central Avenue, 4th
Floor Mailroom, Phoenix, Arizona

Solar LLC allowing the expansion of the
solar field previously approved for the
MSEC Project. The agreements provide
for construction, operation and
maintenance (O&M), and
decommissioning of a 200-megawatt
(MW) alternating current solar
photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation
facility located entirely on the
Reservation and specifically on Tribal
lands held in trust by BIA for the Moapa
Band. The MSEC Project was originally
developed by Moapa Solar LLC and
approved in 2014. It included an 850acre solar site on the Reservation and
associated rights-of-way (ROWs) on
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)managed lands for an access road, gentie line, and water pipeline. BIA and
BLM issued Records of Decision (RODs)
in May 2014 and BLM issued a ROW in
August 2015 for the linear facilities. In
March 2017, EDF Renewables
Development, Inc. (EDFR) purchased
the MSEC Project from the original
owner and renamed the Project the
Arrow Canyon Solar Project. EDFR
subsequently transferred the project to
Arrow Canyon Solar, LLC (Applicant).
The Applicant currently plans to
expand the solar field on the
Reservation from 850 acres to 2,200
acres. This expansion would occur on
Tribal lands identified by the Moapa
Band adjacent to the originally
approved MSEC site. The linear
facilities (i.e. main access road, 230kV
gen-tie line, and permanent buried
water pipeline) previously approved by
the BLM would remain part of the
Project description and as previously
evaluated; therefore, these facilities will
not need to be reevaluated in the SEIS.
The 2,200-acre solar site would be
located in all or parts of Sections 28, 29,
30, 31, 32, and 33 in Township 16
South, Range 64 East; and part of
Section 7 in Township 17 South, Range
64 East, Mount Diablo Meridian,
Nevada. Access to the Project would be
provided from I–15, US–93, and North
Las Vegas Boulevard via the 2.5-mile
access road previously approved by
BLM. The solar project would
interconnect to the regional grid via the
previously approved 7.1-mile 230kV
generation-tie transmission line on
BLM-managed Federal lands that would
connect the solar facility to NV Energy’s
Harry Allen 230kV substation. The
Applicant is expected to operate the
energy facility for up to 35 years under
the terms of the solar lease with the
Moapa Band. The Project is expected to
be built in one phase of 200 MW to meet
an existing Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) for the output of the Project.
Major components of the solar site
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Jan 29, 2020
Jkt 250001
would include multiple blocks of solar
PV panels mounted on tracking systems,
H-beam or pad mounted inverters,
transformers, collection lines, battery
storage facilities, project substation, and
O&M facilities. Construction of the
Project is expected to take
approximately 18 to 20 months. Water
will be needed during construction for
dust control and a minimal amount will
be needed during operations for
administrative and sanitary water use
and up to two panel washings annually.
The water supply required for the
Project would be leased from the Moapa
Band and delivered to the site via the
previously approved water pipeline.
The purposes of the proposed Project
are, among other things, to: (1) Help to
provide a long-term, diverse, and viable
economic revenue base and job
opportunities for the Moapa Band; (2)
meet the terms of the existing PPA for
the output of the Project; (3) help
Nevada and neighboring States to meet
their State renewable energy needs; and
(4) allow the Moapa Band, in
partnership with the Applicant, to
optimize the use of the lease site while
maximizing the potential economic
benefit to the Tribe. BIA will prepare
the SEIS in cooperation with the Moapa
Band, BLM, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Nevada
Department of Wildlife (NDOW). In
addition, the National Park Service
(NPS) will provide input on the
analysis. The resulting SEIS will aim to;
(1) provide agency decision makers, the
Moapa Band, and the general public
with a comprehensive understanding of
the impacts of the proposed expansion
of the solar field on the Reservation; (2)
describe the cumulative impacts of
increased development on the
Reservation; and (3) identify and
propose mitigation measures that would
minimize or prevent significant adverse
impacts. Consistent with these
objectives, the SEIS will focus on the
expansion of the solar field and analyze
the proposed expansion and
appurtenant features, viable
alternatives, and the No Action
alternative. Other alternatives may be
identified in response to issues raised
during the scoping process. The SEIS
will provide a framework for BIA to
make decisions and determine whether
to amend the existing lease agreement to
include the expanded Project footprint.
In addition, BIA will use and coordinate
the NEPA commenting process to satisfy
its obligations under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for
in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). Tribal

consultation will be conducted in
accordance with policy, and Tribal
concerns will be given due
consideration, including impacts on
Indian trust assets. Other Federal
agencies may rely on the SEIS to make
decisions under their authority and the
Moapa Band may also use the SEIS to
make decisions under their Tribal
Environmental Policy Ordinance.
USFWS will review the SEIS for
consistency with the Endangered
Species Act, as amended, and other
implementing acts and may rely on the
SEIS to support its decisions and
opinions regarding the Project. Issues to
be addressed in the SEIS analysis may
include, but would not be limited to,
Project impacts on water resources,
biological resources, threatened and
endangered species, cultural resources,
Native American religious concerns,
and aesthetics. In addition to those
resource topics identified above,
Federal, State, and local agencies, along
with other stakeholders that may be
interested or affected by the BIA’s
decision on the proposed Project, are
invited to participate in the scoping
process to identify additional issues to
be addressed.

Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Arrow Canyon
Solar Project on the Moapa River Indian Reservation, Clark County,
Nevada
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), as lead agency in
cooperation with the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians (Moapa Band) and
other agencies, intends to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) that will evaluate the expansion of the previously
approved Moapa Solar Energy Center (MSEC) Project on the Moapa River
Indian Reservation (Reservation). This project is now referred to as
the Arrow Canyon Solar Project (Project) and this notice announces the
beginning of the scoping process to solicit public comments and
identify potential issues related to the expansion. It also announces
that two public scoping meetings will be held in Nevada to identify
potential issues, alternatives, and mitigation to be considered in the
SEIS.
DATES: Written comments on the scope of the Project or implementation
of the proposal must arrive by Monday, March 2, 2020. The dates and
locations of the public scoping meetings will be published in the Las
Vegas Sun, Las Vegas Review-Journal, and Moapa Valley Progress at least
15 days before the scoping meetings.
ADDRESSES: You may mail, email, or hand carry written comments to Mr.
Chip Lewis, BIA Western Regional Office, 2600 North Central Avenue, 4th

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Chip Lewis, BIA Western Regional
Office; telephone: (602) 379-6750; email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed Federal action, taken under 25
U.S.C. 415, is BIA's approval of an amendment of the solar energy
ground lease and related agreements entered into by the Moapa Band with
Moapa
[[Page 5468]]
Solar LLC allowing the expansion of the solar field previously approved
for the MSEC Project. The agreements provide for construction,
operation and maintenance (O&M), and decommissioning of a 200-megawatt
(MW) alternating current solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation
facility located entirely on the Reservation and specifically on Tribal
lands held in trust by BIA for the Moapa Band. The MSEC Project was
originally developed by Moapa Solar LLC and approved in 2014. It
included an 850-acre solar site on the Reservation and associated
rights-of-way (ROWs) on Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-managed lands
for an access road, gen-tie line, and water pipeline. BIA and BLM
issued Records of Decision (RODs) in May 2014 and BLM issued a ROW in
August 2015 for the linear facilities. In March 2017, EDF Renewables
Development, Inc. (EDFR) purchased the MSEC Project from the original
owner and renamed the Project the Arrow Canyon Solar Project. EDFR
subsequently transferred the project to Arrow Canyon Solar, LLC
(Applicant). The Applicant currently plans to expand the solar field on
the Reservation from 850 acres to 2,200 acres. This expansion would
occur on Tribal lands identified by the Moapa Band adjacent to the
originally approved MSEC site. The linear facilities (i.e. main access
road, 230kV gen-tie line, and permanent buried water pipeline)
previously approved by the BLM would remain part of the Project
description and as previously evaluated; therefore, these facilities
will not need to be reevaluated in the SEIS. The 2,200-acre solar site
would be located in all or parts of Sections 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33
in Township 16 South, Range 64 East; and part of Section 7 in Township
17 South, Range 64 East, Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada. Access to the
Project would be provided from I-15, US-93, and North Las Vegas
Boulevard via the 2.5-mile access road previously approved by BLM. The
solar project would interconnect to the regional grid via the
previously approved 7.1-mile 230kV generation-tie transmission line on
BLM-managed Federal lands that would connect the solar facility to NV
Energy's Harry Allen 230kV substation. The Applicant is expected to
operate the energy facility for up to 35 years under the terms of the
solar lease with the Moapa Band. The Project is expected to be built in
one phase of 200 MW to meet an existing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
for the output of the Project. Major components of the solar site would
include multiple blocks of solar PV panels mounted on tracking systems,
H-beam or pad mounted inverters, transformers, collection lines,
battery storage facilities, project substation, and O&M facilities.
Construction of the Project is expected to take approximately 18 to 20
months. Water will be needed during construction for dust control and a
minimal amount will be needed during operations for administrative and
sanitary water use and up to two panel washings annually. The water
supply required for the Project would be leased from the Moapa Band and
delivered to the site via the previously approved water pipeline.
The purposes of the proposed Project are, among other things, to:
(1) Help to provide a long-term, diverse, and viable economic revenue
base and job opportunities for the Moapa Band; (2) meet the terms of
the existing PPA for the output of the Project; (3) help Nevada and
neighboring States to meet their State renewable energy needs; and (4)
allow the Moapa Band, in partnership with the Applicant, to optimize
the use of the lease site while maximizing the potential economic
benefit to the Tribe. BIA will prepare the SEIS in cooperation with the
Moapa Band, BLM, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW).
In addition, the National Park Service (NPS) will provide input on the
analysis. The resulting SEIS will aim to; (1) provide agency decision
makers, the Moapa Band, and the general public with a comprehensive
understanding of the impacts of the proposed expansion of the solar
field on the Reservation; (2) describe the cumulative impacts of
increased development on the Reservation; and (3) identify and propose
mitigation measures that would minimize or prevent significant adverse
impacts. Consistent with these objectives, the SEIS will focus on the
expansion of the solar field and analyze the proposed expansion and
appurtenant features, viable alternatives, and the No Action
alternative. Other alternatives may be identified in response to issues
raised during the scoping process. The SEIS will provide a framework
for BIA to make decisions and determine whether to amend the existing
lease agreement to include the expanded Project footprint. In addition,
BIA will use and coordinate the NEPA commenting process to satisfy its
obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). Tribal
consultation will be conducted in accordance with policy, and Tribal
concerns will be given due consideration, including impacts on Indian
trust assets. Other Federal agencies may rely on the SEIS to make
decisions under their authority and the Moapa Band may also use the
SEIS to make decisions under their Tribal Environmental Policy
Ordinance. USFWS will review the SEIS for consistency with the
Endangered Species Act, as amended, and other implementing acts and may
rely on the SEIS to support its decisions and opinions regarding the
Project. Issues to be addressed in the SEIS analysis may include, but
would not be limited to, Project impacts on water resources, biological
resources, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources,
Native American religious concerns, and aesthetics. In addition to
those resource topics identified above, Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with other stakeholders that may be interested or
affected by the BIA's decision on the proposed Project, are invited to
participate in the scoping process to identify additional issues to be
