COTTEREL PROJECT IN IDAHO GETS ENVIRONMENTAL OKAY FROM BLM
__________________________________________
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) completed an environmental review of what it called the largest wind energy project on federal land in the last 25 years—Windland, Inc.’s 200-MW Cotterel Wind Power Project, which is located on 4,500 acres of BLM-managed public land.
Approval of the “record of decision” and right-of-way grant clears the way for installation of up to 98 turbines on a ridge in south-central Idaho, five miles east of Albion in Cassia County. “Cotterel Mountain is an exceptional wind resource, and its topography lends itself well for a wind energy project,” Windland President Roald Doskeland told Wind Energy Weekly. “Completing this thorough four-year NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] review is a major step toward bringing its energy online.”
