Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement and
Amend the Resource Management
Plan for the Proposed Rough Hat Clark
County Solar Project in Clark County,
Nevada
Bureau of Land Management,
Department of Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent; request for
comments.
AGENCY:

As requested by Candela
Renewables, LLC, and in compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), and
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, as amended
(FLPMA), the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Nevada State
Director intends to prepare a Resource
Management Plan (RMP) amendment
with an associated Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to consider the
effects of the proposed Rough Hat Clark
County Solar Project. By this notice the
BLM is announcing the beginning of the
scoping period to solicit public
comments and identify issues, and is
providing the planning criteria for
public review.
DATES: Your comments concerning the
scope of the analysis, potential
alternatives, and identification of
relevant information, and studies must

will conduct two public scoping
meetings (virtually) which will be held
November 15 and November 16, 2022
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific time.
Additional information on the meetings,
including how to register, can be found

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document provides notice that the BLM
intends to prepare an RMP amendment
with an associated EIS for the Rough
Hat Clark County Solar Project,
announces the beginning of the scoping
process, and seeks public input on
issues and planning criteria. The RMP
amendment is being considered to allow
the BLM to evaluate the Rough Hat
Clark County Solar Project, which
would require amending the existing
1998 Las Vegas RMP.
On November 14, 2019, Candela
Renewables, LLC submitted a right-ofway application to the BLM Las Vegas
Field Office for the Rough Hat Clark
County Solar Project (Project) requesting
authorization to construct, operate,
maintain, and eventually decommission
a 400-megawatt photovoltaic solar
electric generating facility, battery
storage facilities, associated generation
tie-line, and access road facilities. The
proposed Project requests use of
approximately 2,400 acres of federal
lands administered by the BLM. The
proposed project is in Clark County,
southeast of the town of Pahrump and
approximately 38 miles west of Las
Vegas. The electricity generated would
be collected at the onsite substation and
conveyed to the approved Trout Canyon
Substation located south of the project

site via a generation (gen-tie)
transmission line. Construction for the
facilities is estimated to take
approximately 12 to 18 months. The
lands within the proposed Project area
were segregated, subject to valid
existing rights, for a term of two years
beginning October 20, 2021, with
publication of the Notice of Segregation
in the Federal Register.
Preliminary Purpose and Need
The BLM’s preliminary purpose and
need for this Federal action is to
respond to the FLPMA right-of-way
applications submitted by Candela
Renewables, LLC under title V of
FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1761) to construct,
operate, maintain, and decommission a
solar generation power plant and
ancillary facilities on approximately
2,400 acres of BLM land in Clark
County, Nevada, in compliance with
FLPMA, BLM right-of-way regulations,
U.S. Department of the Interior NEPA
regulations, and other applicable federal
and state laws and policies. In
accordance with FLPMA, public lands
are to be managed for multiple uses that
consider the long-term needs of future
generations for renewable and nonrenewable resources. The BLM is
authorized to grant rights-of-way on
public lands for systems of generation,
transmission, and distribution of
electrical energy (section 501(a)(4)). The
preliminary purpose and need also
includes an amendment to the 1998 Las
Vegas RMP to address a potential Visual
Resource Management Class
modification to respond to the
proponent’s application.
Preliminary Proposed Action and
Alternatives
The Proposed Action is to approve a
right-of-way to Candela Renewables,
LLC to construct, operate, and
eventually decommission the proposed
solar project and associated facilities
with the potential to generate 400megawatts of alternating current energy
on 2,400 acres of BLM administered
lands. The Proposed Action also
includes an amendment to the 1998 Las
Vegas RMP in order to adjust the Visual
Resource Management Class.
The Visual Resource Management
Class for the project area includes Class
III, which requires a RMP amendment to
change the Class III area to Class IV in
order for the project to be consistent
with the RMP, per the BLM Land Use
Planning Handbook (H–1601–1 section
VII.B).
Additional action alternatives have
not been identified to date but would be
developed by taking into consideration
comments and input submitted during
