The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Winnemucca District, Black Rock Field Office is seeking public comments for its Draft Environmental Assessment which analyzes impacts from an exploration operations plan (OP) proposed by Ormat Technologies Inc. (Ormat). The Gerlach Geothermal Exploration Project proposed by Ormat is located less than one mile north of Gerlach, Nevada. Ormat previously proposed a geothermal development project in the same location and the BLM conducted a 60-day public pre-scoping period from October 1, 2020, to December 1, 2020. Ormat has since withdrawn its plan of development for geothermal development and submitted an exploration OP. Please see the Pre-scoping Summary Report, and the Baseline Studies Status documents for reference. Comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment will be accepted from August 19 until September 18, 2022.
