What is the scope of the analysis in the Upper Great Plains Wind Energy PEIS?
The proposed action in this PEIS is for the Agencies to develop and implement agency-specific programs that would facilitate environmentally responsible wind energy development by establishing environmental policies and mitigation strategies related to wind energy development in six states (Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota). These states are within Western’s Upper Great Plains Customer Service Region and the Service’s Region 6 grasslands and wetland easement program.
