SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior has approved
the BLM's decision to issue a right-of-way grant for construction,
operation and maintenance (O&M), and decommissioning of a 5,141-acre
solar facility wholly on BLM lands with a 24.1-mile-long gen-tie line
to connect to the existing Fort Churchill substation near the town of
Yerington in Lyon County, Nevada. The Project includes the following
primary components: (1) a 700 megawatt (MW) alternating current (MWac)
solar photovoltaic power generating facility; (2) a 700 MW battery
energy storage system; (3) linear and ancillary facilities, including
access roads, electrical distribution lines, and communication cables;
(4) O&M facilities; and (5) a substation and a 24.1-mile-long 345
kilovolt (kV) or 525 kV gen-tie line into the Fort Churchill
substation, of which 22.9 miles would be on the BLM-managed lands. The
project and planning area is approximately 55 miles southeast of the
Reno metropolitan area, 11 miles southeast of the town of Yerington, 7
miles west of U.S. Route 95, and 8 miles east of State Route 208.
The decision to authorize this energy generation project on public
lands is consistent with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, as
amended, and the BLM's right-of-way regulations (43 U.S.C. 1761; 43 CFR
part 2800).
Approval of this right-of-way constitutes the final decision of the
Department of the Interior and is not subject to appeal under
Departmental regulations at 43 CFR part 4.
(Authority: 40 CFR 1501.9)
Kimberly D. Dow,
District Manager, Carson City District.
