Public invited to review and comment during scoping period for Ten West Link Project in Arizona and California PHOENIX – On March 23, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a proposed electrical transmission line between Maricopa and La Paz Counties, Arizona, and Riverside County, California. The notice of intent opens a 45-day scoping period, during which the public has the opportunity to iden- tify issues that should be considered in the EIS. The scoping period ends 45 days after publication of the Fed- eral Register. The 45-day period ends on Monday, May 9, 2016. The proposed project is the Ten West Link 500-kilovolt Transmis- sion Line. It is a joint project of Abengoa Transmission & Infrastruc- ture, LLC, and Starwood Energy Group Global, Inc. Together they have formed DCR Transmission, LLC, which is the company propos- ing to build the transmission line. The proposal is to build a transmis- sion line from Tonopah, Arizona, to Blythe, California. It would span 114 miles, with 83 miles of it on public lands managed by the BLM. All but 17 miles of the line would be in the Arizona counties of Maricopa and La Paz. As part of the scoping process, the BLM will hold public meetings on these dates at these locations.
