Book excerpt: This research examines state level influences on the federal implementation of policies directing the expansion of renewable energy on public lands. For this comparative case study of four western states (Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah), three theories guide the examination of the three streams of governmental action: problems equal new institutionalism; policies equal cooperative federalism; and politics equal networks. The BLM encourages the use of public land for renewable energy. However, state governments may play a role in approving specific projects.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With America's recent needs for creating jobs, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, and becoming "energy independent" from foreign nations, the large-scale deployment of solar energy projects has been proclaimed a solution for rapidly generating "clean" energy. Federal agencies have been mandated by law to expedite the siting of utility-scale solar energy projects (USSEPs) on public lands. In particular, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has focused on USSEP development by creating a national solar energy program as well as state-specific programs for encouraging USSEP development, and has thus far approved two USSEPs in Arizona. Although operational USSEPs do not emit greenhouse gases, they are not completely benign to the environment. USSEPs incur negative impacts on soils, vegetation, air quality, and other natural and cultural resources. Because USSEPs have the potential to mitigate climate change, yet incur other negative environmental impacts, the reaction of citizen stakeholders such as environmental advocates to public lands USSEP development has been mixed. Environmental advocate groups have both encouraged BLM to build USSEPs, and filed lawsuits discouraging project development. In light of the ability of environmental advocates to influence USSEP development, this study explored the complex opinions of members of environmental organizations, conservation groups, watershed initiatives, and solar industry professionals regarding USSEP development on Arizona public lands. Through a review of relevant literature, a content analysis of BLM environmental review documents, and the distribution and statistical analysis of an opinion survey, the study provides insight into the implications of the current BLM Arizona siting process and specific, up-to-date stakeholder perspectives. The results indicate that while BLM Arizona siting policies do attempt to address environmental concerns, significant concerns about the current USSEP siting process remain, and that environmental advocates' support for public lands USSEPs is lower than their support for renewable energy development in general. Stakeholders reported having low levels of three items: knowledge of current solar technologies, understanding of the current federal USSEP siting process, and confidence that the government will appropriately site solar energy projects. Addressing those items may alleviate tensions between stakeholders and public lands decision-makers, resulting in faster and more environmentally responsible USSEP siting.

Book excerpt: The Restoration Design Energy Project (RDEP) is a project of BLM Arizona that supports the Secretary of the Interior’s goals to build America’s new energy future and to protect and restore treasured landscapes. BLM Arizona proposes to identify Renewable Energy Development Areas (REDA) and to establish management actions, design features, and land tenure and reuse policies applicable to solar and wind energy development on BLM-administered lands in Arizona. The REDAs would identify where solar and wind energy development is likely to be compatible with resource objectives, and the management actions and design features would bring consistency and efficiency to the BLM’s authorization process. In addition, the BLM is proposing to identify a Solar Energy Zone for utility-scale solar development. BLM resource management plans in Arizona would be amended to adopt these findings and measures.

This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Arizona Solar Energy Zones" presents a strategy for compensating for the residual or unavoidable impacts that are expected from the development of the Agua Caliente, Brenda, and Gillespie Solar Energy Zones (SEZs) in western Arizona. This strategy responds to a call for the development of solar regional compensatory mitigation strategies for each of the SEZs, as committed to in the Record of Decision for the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States. The strategy consists of preliminary findings and recommendations for identifying: (1) the residual impacts of utility-scale solar development in the Arizona SEZs that may warrant regional compensatory mitigation, (2) mitigation actions that can be implemented in the region to compensate for those impacts, (3) how appropriate regional compensatory mitigation obligations could be determined, and (4) how the impacts and mitigation actions could be monitored. While this strategy for the Arizona SEZs is not a Bureau of Land Management decision, it will inform future decisions, including project-specific National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA), regarding configuration of lease parcels and issuance of leases for the Arizona SEZs, lease stipulations, impacts warranting compensatory mitigation in the region, where and how regional compensatory mitigation might occur, and how monitoring and adaptive management might occur.

Download or read book Forging a Sustainable Southwest written by Stephen E. Strom and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature has presented us with a gift of incalculable value: astounding diversity of plant and animal life and interwoven biological and physical systems of intricate complexity and beauty. We are faced today with an existential environmental and moral challenge: can we find common purpose in protecting and cherishing these masterpieces and in restoring a sense of shared responsibility for stewarding our endowment? Forging a Sustainable Southwest introduces readers to four conservation efforts that provide insight into how diverse groups of citizens have worked collaboratively to develop visions for land use that harmonized sometimes conflicting ecological, economic, cultural, and community needs. Through the voices of more than seventy individuals involved in these efforts, we learn how they’ve developed plans for protecting, restoring, and stewarding lands sustainably; the management and funding tools they’ve used; and their perceptions of the challenges that remain and how to meet them. This book details efforts to craft the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, establish Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, protect Cienega Ranch, and create the Malpai Borderlands Group. It will appeal to anyone interested in grassroots efforts to protect the vital ecosystems of the western United States. These inspiring stories of citizens and groups working together demonstrate a path for the future built day-by-day: breaking bread at potlucks, holding informal front-porch discussions, and later finding common purpose in community-wide meetings. Might their efforts reveal a path to rebuilding our democratic systems from the ground up?
