The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has announced plans to conduct an environmental review of plans to build at least two new geothermal plants in Churchill County.



BLM officials told Churchill County commissioners earlier this week they intend to prepare a formal environmental impact statement for the two Salt Wells Energy projects proposed by NV Energy, Oromat Technologies and the Vulcan Power Co.

The separate projects could eventually result in construction of seven 30- to 60-megawatt geothermal power plants.

Officials say the environmental review is scheduled for the beginning of 2010. The final EIS is scheduled to be released in December 2010 with a records of decision coming in early 2011.
