District 36 LAO ACCESS ALERT<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Rendition of what Walker Ridge would look like with wind mills<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The D36 LAO has just learned that the BLM as hired a Walker Ridge Project Manager who started work on April 1, 2019.\u00a0 The energy companies associated with this project are the Colusa Wind Energy LLC (CWE) that is owned by Salka Energy, Algonquin Utilities Power Corporation, and Liberty Power Corporation.\u00a0 D36 also understands the BLM has signed a MOU with CWE.<\/p>\n

D36 understands that a lot of its members ride off-road motorcycles in the Walker Ridge area.\u00a0 And, that the BLM has identified that general area for OHV travel planning to designate a substantive network of high-value OHV trails.<\/p>\n

D36 and a number of its OHV and conservation partners have long opposed various wind energy planning efforts over the last 10-15 years.\u00a0 However, it seems the administration\u2019s new energy expansion strategy has identified Walker Ridge as a potential wind farm.<\/p>\n

D36 has sent a request to the BLM asking that it be placed on the project\u2019s mailing list and is sent copies of any related documents related to MOUs, agreements, scoping, planning, and project implementation.<\/p>\n

Be assured, the D36 LAO will be engaged on this important issue over the next 1-2 years.<\/p>\n
