Özet

Under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 as amended, the Bureau of Land Management, Rawlins District Office, will direct the preparation of an EIS on the potential impacts of a proposed wind energy project. A total of 1,390 wind turbines and associated facilities will be constructed on 62,000 acres (25,091 hectares) of private, Federal and state lands over a 10-12 year development period in Carbon County, Wyoming. The EIS will be prepared by a third party contractor. If the project is approved, the BLM will issue a Right-of-Way Grant under section 501 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.
