Title

Barren Ridge Renewable Transmission Project

Description

The project involves the construction and operation of a 23-mile stretch of new transmission line within a 500-foot corridor. The project will result in 20 acres of permanent and 137 acres of temporary impacta to desert tortoise and Mojave ground squirrel habitat and is expected to result in incidental take of desert tortoise and Mojave ground squirrel, which are designated as threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act Amendment No. 2 adds an alternative to the compensatory mitigation obligation to allow for the Permittee to purchase 197 covered species credits at a CDFW-approved mitigation or conservation bank and extends the timeline in which to complete the HM lands obligation to December 30, 2018. The ITP, as amended, referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
