Draft DRECP Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement

Draft DRECP Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement

About

The Draft Desert Renewable Energy and Conservation Plan (DRECP) and Joint Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) were issued in September 2014. This was the first step of the DRECP planning process.

The Draft DRECP identified Development Focus Areas (DFAs) for renewable energy and a long-term conservation strategy for 37 species that would be affected by renewable energy in the California Desert. The Draft DRECP included five alternatives to achieve the renewable energy and conservation goals of the DRECP partner agencies, which were represented by interagency objectives, as well as individual agencies’ purpose and need within the DRECP Plan Area. These alternatives included three integrated components: a BLM LUPA, which covered BLM-managed public lands, a USFWS General Conservation Plan (GCP), which covered nonfederal, and a CDFW Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), which covered both federal and nonfederal lands.

This gallery contains maps and spatial data presented in the Draft DRECP EIR/EIS.

The full report, in addition to relevant supporting documentation and data, can be downloaded from the main DRECP site: http://www.drecp.org/draftdrecp/.
