Purpose and Need for the Proposed
Action
BILLING CODE 4331–10–P
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Magic Valley Energy, LLC (MVE) has
applied for a right-of-way (ROW) to
construct, operate, maintain, and
decommission the Lava Ridge Wind
Project (the project), a wind energy
facility and ancillary facilities primarily
on BLM-administered public lands in
Jerome, Lincoln, and Minidoka
Counties, Idaho. The BLM’s purpose is

48681
to respond to the ROW application
submitted by MVE in compliance with
FLPMA, BLM regulations, and other
applicable Federal laws and policies.
The need for the BLM’s Proposed
Action arises from FLPMA, which
establishes a multiple use mandate for
management of Federal lands, including
‘‘systems for generation, transmission,
and distribution of electric energy’’
(FLPMA title V). The BLM will decide
whether to grant, grant with
modifications, or deny MVE’s ROW
application.
Proposed Action and Alternatives
Under Alternative A, the BLM would
deny MVE’s application for
construction, operation, maintenance,
and decommissioning of the project.
The project facilities would not be built,
and existing land uses and present
activities in the area would continue.
The land would continue to be available
for other uses that are consistent with
the BLM’s Monument Resource
Management Plan (1986) and its
amendments, including the 2015 Idaho
and Southern Montana Greater SageGrouse Approved Resource
Management Plan Amendment. Federal
and regional renewable energy goals
would have to be met using other
alternative energy projects at other
locations.
Under Alternative B (Applicant
Proposed Action), the BLM would
authorize the wind energy facility as
proposed by MVE, subject to certain
terms and conditions. Alternative B
could have up to 400 3-megawatt (MW)
turbines or up to 349 6–MW turbines, or
a combination of 3–MW and 6–MW
turbines not to exceed 400. The
maximum height of the turbines would
be between 390 and 740 feet, depending
on their MW capacity. Siting corridors
would span 84,051 acres, with the
project area footprint within these
corridors totaling 9,114 acres.
Alternative C (Reduced Western
Corridors) would reduce the project’s
footprint by authorizing project
development except within specific
corridors. Siting corridors in Alternative
C would span 65,215 acres. Project
activity would disturb 6,953 acres. The
intent of this alternative is to avoid and
minimize potential impacts to Wilson
Butte Cave and Minidoka National
Historic Site (NHS). Alternative C
would also aim to encourage
development in areas that have already
been impacted by energy infrastructure
and reduce the extent of wildlife habitat
fragmentation.
Like Alternative C, Alternative D
(Centralized Corridors) would reduce
the project’s footprint by authorizing
