(ROD) for the Lava Ridge Wind Project
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS). The ROD constitutes the decision
of the BLM, as approved by the
Department of the Interior (DOI).
DATES: The ROD was signed on Dec. 5,
2024.
ADDRESSES: The ROD is available at
https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/
project/2013782/510 and in hard copy
at the BLM Shoshone Field Office, 400
W F St., Shoshone, ID 83352.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kasey Prestwich, project manager,
telephone 208–732–7204; address in
ADDRESSES above; and email
kprestwich@blm.gov. Individuals in the
United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services for
contacting Mr. Prestwich. Individuals
outside the United States should use the
relay services offered within their
country to make international calls to
the point-of-contact in the United
States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOI
has approved the BLM’s decision to
issue a right-of-way (ROW) grant for the
Lava Ridge Wind Project. Consistent
with the direction provided through the
ROD and applicable laws and
regulations, the BLM will issue Magic
Valley Energy (MVE) a non-exclusive,
non-possessory ROW grant with
stipulations, to construct, operate and
maintain, and decommission a windpowered electrical generation facility on
public lands within Jerome, Lincoln,
and Minidoka counties, Idaho. The
ROW grant will authorize MVE to
develop and operate the project as
described in an approved plan of
development, updated consistent with
the terms established in the ROD.
The ROW authorizes installation of
up to 231 wind turbines, along with
related infrastructure and facilities on
BLM-managed public lands. The ROW

grant issued by the BLM will require
MVE to comply with terms and
conditions, including project avoidance
and minimization measures, fulfill
compensatory mitigation requirements,
adhere to processes established for the
preservation of historic properties, and
meet any additional requirements, such
as obtaining additional permits or
authorizations, established by Federal,
State, or local laws.
The ROW area encompasses the BLMmanaged public lands delineated and
described in Appendices A and B of the
ROD. The estimated total area of the
ROW is 57,447 acres, with all projectrelated infrastructure and facilities
confined within the designated siting
corridors. The siting corridors,
estimated to be 38,535 acres, limit the
location of the project infrastructure to
areas considered within the Lava Ridge
Wind Project Final EIS; however, the
final footprint of the project will be
smaller and consistent with the
disturbance area described in the Final
EIS (the portion of ground disturbance
on public lands is estimated to be 3,926
acres).
The decision to authorize this energy
generation project on BLM-managed
public lands is consistent with the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act, as amended, and the BLM’s ROW
regulations (43 U.S.C. 1761; 43 CFR part
2800).
Approval of this ROW constitutes the
final decision of the DOI and, in
accordance with the regulations at 43
CFR 4.410(a)(3), is not subject to appeal
under DOI regulations at 43 CFR part 4.
