Amendment for the proposed Silver
State Solar South Project located on
public lands east of Primm, Nevada, and
by this notice is announcing the
opening of the comment period.
DATES: To ensure that comments will be

written comments on the Draft
Supplementary EIS and the Draft RMP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Silver
State Solar, LLC, has submitted a rightof-way (ROW) application for the
construction, operation, maintenance,
and termination of a solar energy
generation facility on 13,183 acres of
public land east of Primm, Nevada. The
ROW application is assigned BLM case
number N–89530. This application
expands on the previously considered
ROW application N–85801. The
proposed solar energy project would
consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels and
related infrastructure ROW
appurtenances, including a substation
and switchyard facilities, and would
produce about 350 megawatts (MW) of
electricity. The solar field and
infrastructure would consist of singleaxis tracker systems or fixed panels, an
underground and overhead electrical
power collection system, two step-up
transformers, 230 kilovolt (kV) and 220
kV transmission lines, an operation and
maintenance area, a switchyard, paved
access and maintenance roads, flood
and drainage controls, and a fire break.
The Silver State Solar South Project
Draft Supplemental EIS will address the
new application N–89530 and update as
necessary the consideration of N–85801,
which was initially analyzed in the
Final EIS for the Silver State Solar North
Project. The approved Silver State Solar
North Project did not authorize ROW
application N–85801. The BLM
approved a Record of Decision on
October 12, 2010, for the Silver State
Solar North Project and authorized
ROW N–85077 for the construction and
operation of a 50 MW PV solar energy
facility on 618 acres of BLM
administered lands adjacent to the
Silver State South project area. The
application for N–85801 is now
included as part of the Silver State Solar
South Project, along with ROW

application N–89530. If the BLM
approves ROW application N–89530,
the BLM will also need to amend the
October 1998 Las Vegas RMP to address
proposed changes in land and resource
use within the Jean Lake/Roach Lake
Special Recreation Management Area
(SRMA).
The Draft Supplemental EIS analyzes
the site-specific impacts on air quality,
biological resources, cultural resources,
special designations (SRMA), water
resources, and geological resources and
hazards. The document will also
analyze land and airspace use, noise,
paleontological resources, public health,
socioeconomics, soils, traffic and
transportation, visual resources,
wilderness characteristics, waste
management, worker safety, fire
protection, and hazardous materials
handling; as well as facility-design
engineering, efficiency, reliability,
transmission-system engineering,
transmission line safety, and nuisance
issues.
By this notice, the BLM is complying
with requirements in 43 CFR 1610.2(c)
to notify the public of potential
amendments to land use plans. The
BLM will integrate the land use
planning process with the NEPA
process for this project. Besides the
SRMA, the BLM will consider
additional plan amendments to the Las
Vegas RMP, including a proposed
nomination for an Area of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC) within
the Ivanpah Valley and a Visual
Resource Management (VRM) change
within the project boundary from Class
III to Class IV.
As required by 43 C.F.R. 1610.7–2(b),
the BLM is also taking public comments
on the proposed ACEC. In order to
adequately protect the relevant and
important values in the proposed
40,180-acre ACEC, the BLM is
evaluating whether to impose the
following new restrictions:
Æ Retaining the lands in Federal
ownership;
Æ Allowing facilities that provide
resource protection;
Æ Enhancing the relevant and
important (R&I) values and/or
addressing human health and safety on
a case-by-case basis;
Æ Imposing a linear ROW avoidance
restriction;
Æ Excluding large site-type ROWs
(greater than 5 acres);
Æ Restoring temporary disturbances
to meet the standard BLM restoration
standards; and
Æ Allowing land use authorizations
and small site-type ROWs (5 acres or
less) on a case-by-case basis.
