What alternatives will be analyzed in the Upper Great Plains Wind Energy PEIS?
Three alternatives will be considered in the PEIS: • the proposed action; • a no action alternative (existing program wherein new proposals are considered on an ad-hoc basis without standard mitigation or best management practices); and • a hybrid alternative that consists of Western’s proposed action for approving wind projects, but would not allow further wind development on any of the Service’s easements. Additional alternatives may be identified during scoping. For more information, visit What’s in the Upper Great Plains Wind Energy PEIS.
