  • 6 Analysis of Blm's Solar Energy Development
    1 6 ANALYSIS OF BLM’S SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES 2 3 4 Through this programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS), the U.S. Department 5 of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is evaluating three alternatives for 6 managing utility-scale solar energy development on BLM-administered lands in the six-state 7 study area. These alternatives, which are described in Section 2.2, include two action 8 alternatives—a solar energy development program alternative and a solar energy zone (SEZ) 9 program alternative—and a no action alternative. 10 11 Under the action alternatives, the BLM would establish a new Solar Energy Program 12 to replace certain elements of its existing Solar Energy Policies (BLM 2007, 2010a,b; 13 see Appendix A, Section A.1).1 The action alternatives identify lands that would be excluded 14 from utility-scale solar energy development and, on the basis of those exclusions, the lands that 15 would be available for solar right-of-way (ROW) application.2 Both action alternatives also 16 identify SEZs where the agency would prioritize solar energy and associated transmission 17 infrastructure development. Final SEZs would be identified in the Record of Decision (ROD) for 18 the Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). Under the solar energy 19 development program alternative, the SEZs would constitute a subset of the total lands available 20 (i.e., applications would be accepted within the SEZs and on specific lands outside the SEZs). 21 Under the SEZ program alternative, applications would only be accepted within the SEZs, and 22 no additional lands would be available outside the SEZs.

  • AIA Nevada Position Statement
    AIA Nevada A Chapter of The American Institute of Architects Position Statement Date: October 11, 2007 Subject: Position on New Power Plants in Nevada AIA Nevada opposes the implementation of coal-fired power plants in Nevada and throughout the world, and instead endorses all future power production to be developed using only clean, non-polluting, renewable sources. Nevada currently receives approximately 50 percent of its electricity from coal-fired power plants and plans are in place to build more. While technological progress toward cleaner burning plants has come about, coal-fired power plants are still the largest producer of mercury releases into the atmosphere, and contribute billions of tons of carbon dioxide to the air annually. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that has been shown to cause developmental delays, decreased IQ and memory, Attention Deficit Disorders in children, and fertility, heart and neurological problems in adults. The basic pollution problems with coal plants have not changed and will not change with these newer technologies. Currently, three coal fired power plants are considered for eastern Nevada near Ely and the Toquop Indian Reservation. Plans for a fourth plant, Sempra Energy’s Granite Fox Power Project, a 1,200 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant for northern Nevada, were recently withdrawn. A public hearing regarding the proposed plants that occurred on March 8, 2007, in Ely, drew a number of local residents who were worried about the negative impacts from this coal-fired power production. In April 2007, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), assessing the environmental impacts from the White Pine Energy Station Project near Ely.

  • The Historic Copper National Bank, Built in 1910, Located in Ely, NV
    The historic Copper National Bank, built in 1910, located in Ely, NV Located in Ely, Nevada a historic mining town experiencing a renaissance with renewed mining activity, the Copper National Bank, built in 1910, affords owners the unique convenience of urban shops, restaurants and services while enjoying a rural lifestyle. Fresh air and clean water are abundant in the scenic Steptoe Valley. The Copper National Bank is located two blocks from the recently renovated East Ely Railroad Depot, which houses the Nevada Northern Railway Museum. The White Pine Historical Foundation operates a “Ghost Train” from the East Ely Depot in the summer months and during holidays. Steptoe Valley Steptoe Valley is a long valley located in White Pine County, in northeastern Nevada. From the historic community of Currie, the valley runs south for approximately 100 miles. To the west are the high Egan Range and the Cherry Creek Range, while to the east is the even higher Schell Creek Range. Highway 93 passes through the valley, past the historic mining town of Cherry Creek and the communities of McGill and Ely, before crossing the Schell Creek Range at Connor’s Pass. Also found in this valley are the Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park, the Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area, and Cave Lake State Park. At Egan Canyon and Schellbourne Pass (near Cherry Creek), the Overland Stage Line and the subsequent Pony Express and Transcontinental Telegraph made their way through the mountains of central Nevada in the 1860s. The valley is named after Colonel Edward Steptoe, who explored the region in 1854.

  • Ely Energy Center Transmission Line Components
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 April 3, 2009 Joe Incardine EEC Project Manager Bureau of Land Management Ely Field Office HC 33 Box 33500 Ely, Nevada 89301-9408 Subject: Transmission Line Components of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Ely Energy Center, Nevada [CEQ# 20080537] Dear Mr. Incardine: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed the transmission line components of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Ely Energy Center. Our review and comments are provided pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), and Section 309 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed project, as described in the DEIS, would include the construction of the Ely Energy Center (EEC) -- a 1,500 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant -- and ancillary facilities. The Notice of Availability for the DEIS was published in the Federal Register on January 2, 2009. On February 9, 2009, however, the project proponent Nevada Energy announced that it has postponed plans to construct the EEC due to increasing environmental and economic uncertainties, and will not proceed with the construction of the coal plant until the technologies that capture and store greenhouse gases are commercially feasible. It is EPA’s understanding that, rather than postpone the entire project, Nevada Energy plans to proceed with one component of the project: the construction of the 250-mile 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission line linking northern and southern Nevada.
