  • Wilton IV Wind Energy Center Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    Wilton IV Wind Energy Center Draft Environmental Impact Statement DOE/EIS-0469 March 2013 COVER SHEET Lead Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration Title: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Wilton IV Wind Energy Center For additional information on this Draft Environmental Impact Statement contact: Mr. Matt Marsh Upper Great Plains Regional Office Western Area Power Administration P.O. Box 35800, Billings, MT 59107-5800 [email protected], (800) 358-3415 For general information on the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Environmental Policy Act process please contact: Ms. Carol M. Borgstrom, Director Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance (GC-54) U.S. Department of Energy Washington, D.C. 20585 (202) 586-4600 Abstract: W estern Area Power Administration (Western) prepared this draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) in response to a request from NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (NextEra), on behalf of its subsidiary Wilton W ind IV, LLC (Wilton IV), to interconnect its proposed Wilton IV Wind Energy Center (Project) to Western’s power transmission system. The proposed Project is a wind turbine generation facility located in Burleigh County, North Dakota. It would consist of 62 wind turbine generators, with a total nameplate capacity of approximately 99 MW. NextEra has also requested that the existing interconnection contracts for the Wilton Wind I Energy Center (formerly known as Burleigh County Wind), Wilton Wind II Energy Center, and the Baldwin Wind Energy Center (together called the Existing Projects) be modified to lift their administrative 50 average annual MW production caps. This DEIS includes a description of the proposed Project and analyzes the impacts associated with the proposed construction, operation, and decommissioning of the W ilton IV Project and lifting the administrative 50 average annual MW cap on the Existing Projects.

  • Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Bats in North Dakota
    HABITAT USE AND FORAGING ECOLOGY OF BATS IN NORTH DAKOTA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Josiah James Nelson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Program: Environmental and Conservation Sciences July 2016 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title HABITAT USE AND FORAGING ECOLOGY OF BATS IN NORTH DAKOTA By Josiah James Nelson The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Erin Gillam Chair Dr. Mark Clark Dr. Ned Dochtermann Dr. Jason Harmon Approved: 25 July 2016 Wendy Reed Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Habitat use is a key component to understanding the conservation needs of species. While an array of quantitative analyses for studying fine-scale habitat use and selection have been developed, such methods have rarely been applied to bat species, with most work focused at a broad scale or using qualitative methods. Insectivorous bat communities face major threats from habitat conversion, exploitation of natural resources, and the impending spread of white- nose syndrome. Hence, detailed knowledge of their habitat needs is critical for developing effective management plans. In North Dakota, little was known about local bat populations prior to 2009, with essentially no knowledge of habitat associations and preferences of bat species. The overall objective of this research was to survey habitats across North Dakota to document species occurrences within key ecological regions and to assess the influence of fine-scale habitat characteristics on community diversity and foraging patterns.

  • Pembina Gorge MP Report141229.Indd
    North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 Red Canoe LLC FOREWORD The North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2015. As we look to our past and what has been accomplished over those 50 years, great things have happened and many families have created wonderful memories hiking trails, swimming in lakes and sitting by a campfire at the end of a long summer day. Recognizing the evolution of the ‘State Park’ throughout the past 50 years, it’s important to look forward and prepare for what’s to come in the next 50 years. North Dakota is growing. The ways by which people recreate is growing. Our mission as a department is to provide recreation opportunities for the people of the great state of North Dakota. As we look to meet the needs of our constituents, master planning efforts provide great insight into user trends and needs through public meetings, participation surveys and great conversations with stakeholders in the surrounding areas. As the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area came on line in 2012, the focus for development was to provide opportunity for Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) users to recreate with the implementation of a trail system to accommodate all classes of machines. It is clear, through this planning and input process, that OHV use remains important to the visitors of the Rendezvous Region but this is just one of many recreational opportunities in the Pembina Gorge.

President Thomas Jefferson had charged them with the monumental task of exploring the unknown lands of the Louisiana Territory, purchased from France the year before, and trying to find a navigable route to the Pacific Ocean via the Missouri River.
