To promote the development of these energy sources, the BLM provides sites for environmentally sound development of renewable energy on public lands. The BLM manages vast stretches of public lands that have the potential to make significant contributions to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio. Public input will be accepted until May 12, 2023. Interested parties may submit comments via email to Comments may also be mailed to: BLM, Attn: Erica Stewart, 7341 E. The meeting will be recorded and then posted to the BLM Arizona YouTube channel. The public will have an opportunity to provide input on the proposed project during the meeting. BLM staff will provide a short introduction followed by presentations from the project applicant.

The meeting is expected to last about one hour. The virtual public meeting is scheduled for April 12 beginning at 5 p.m. If the BLM decides to grant a variance and continue to process the application, it will initiate a full environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act process, which will include additional public involvement. Information gathered during the public input period will help the BLM determine whether to continue to process or to deny the right-of-way application. The BLM received a right-of-way application from the proponent, EAGL, LLC, for a proposed 400 MW solar development on 2,600 acres of public lands in the Lake Havasu Field Office designated as variance areas ( ). The forum will be held as part of the BLM’s solar variance application process and will kick off a 30-day public input period. As part of the Bureau of Land Management’s efforts to build a clean energy future and achieve the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035, the Colorado River District will host a virtual forum on April 12, 2023, to share information and receive public input on the proposed Eagle Eye Solar Project.
