The proposed Yellow-Pine Solar Project is another large-scale project inappropriately sited on BLM land in the Mojave Desert, and being fast-tracked without consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic and with many other flawed rationales. MBCA has joined six other concerned organizations to send a fact-filled document refuting the validity of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Among the statements in the letter supported with references and illustrations are these:
- The Purpose and Need are Faulty.
- The Proposed Action, Alternative, and Environmental Consequences Analysis Is Inadequate.
- More Alternatives, Alternative Locations, and Distributed Generation Alternatives Need To Be Analyzed.
- No Mitigation Measures Are Provided For Significant Impacts To The Environment.
- Rare Plants Will Be Harmed.
- Eagles May Be Impacted.
- Burrowing Owls Will Be Significantly Impacted.
Details can be found in the Yellow-Pine Solar Project letter signed by MBCA, Basin and Range Watch, Western Watersheds Project, Sierra Club California and Nevada Desert Committee, Desert Survivors, and Shoshone Village.
