KEY PROJECT
Amargosa Farm Road Solar Project
Tierra Data supported an EIS meeting requirements of the BLM and all associated needs for permits and developing avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. We conducted surveys, fully documenting the biological resources including flora and fauna, sensitive species, water resources, wetland delineation, rare plants, invasive weed mapping and GIS. We provided permitting support for approximately 5,000 acres of the planned development of two commercial solar parabolic trough generating stations, with a total generation output rating of approximately 500 MW.
