Details Ian Cain advised that the study plan for sage grouse included leks monitoring for the three leks known to occur in the vicinity of the reservoirs. Maggie Cummings would be working with Nancy Helms at BLM as soon as Nancy got the okay to work on the project Moira Kolada asked that NDOW be included for any studies and any data relayed that includes wildlife as NDOW has management responsibility for wildlife in the state of Nevada Brett Burgess followed up in regards to Study Plans sent out prior day, encouraging participation in process; feedback valued White Pine County Board of County Commissioners submitted request for Cooperating Agency Status Moira Kolada advised Margaret Cummings that HDR had the correct lek protocols; and that she would provide locations shortly; but first wanted to clarify if HDR was planning on counting all these leks as the list appeared significantly longer than the one in the baseline study information? Margaret Cummings advised Moira Kolada that the study plan included the 3 leks within a 4 mile buffer of the reservoir locations, not the transmission lines as it doesn't have a proposed alignment. The longer list includes leks with 4 miles of the transmission line. Planning to conduct counts at these 3 leks, with possibility of monitoring some of the others. Margaret also asked if there was a possibility for data sharing if NDOW was collecting lek information this season--would that be adequate to support our baseline study?

Subject Conservation Credit System Analysis
Details Margaret Cummings provided additional information following a meeting with Ely BLM management and asked if geotech project would be considered an Exploration project in the Conservation Credit System? Conservation Credit System Katie Andrle advised that if drilling and road expansion occurred, it Analysis would qualify as exploration in the Habitat Qualification Tool. A desktop analysis would be the route to take; generally not recommended to collect field data Conservation Credit System Katie Andrle thought using the "geothermal ancillary" classification Analysis would be best for now Conservation Credit System Katie Andrle advised that due to the location of the project, site Analysis compensatory mitigation will need to be conducted for the EA. She also clarified that it is not the lek buffers that trigger Conservation Credit System but the mapped habitat it falls within Conservation Credit System Maggie Cummings replied to Katie Andrle about compensatory Analysis mitigation and language nuances GrSG studies CBD submitted comments on the proposed GrSG studies Conservation Credit System Katie Andrle (SETT) provided Maggie Cummings (HDR) with Analysis information to get started with on Conservation Credit System analysis GrSG Lek & Habitat Study City of Ely submitted comments on the GrSG Lek and Habitat Study Updated 2920 Permit Brett Burgess sent out the updated 2920 permit and supplemental Application information application to reflect additional use of existing roads and decreased surface disturbance for borehole exploration to mitigate impacts on sage-grouse habitat.

Danielle Risse (HDR) sent Lisa Gilbert (BLM) a fieldwork authorization request and associated maps for the seismic refraction work. She is hoping to be on site 9/11 Lisa Gilbert thought that Danielle Risse only needed to inventory the overland travel route east of the railroad and then recon from the south. The authorization request says inventory for the entire seismic line Danielle Risse stated that on the northern seismic line, there is no existing road east of the railroad, so she was assuming that she would have to survey that part of the seismic line. Does Gilbert want Risse to remove the survey area over the seismic line? Laurie Carson provided information about the shooting range

Moira Kolada returned Maggie Cummings’ call. The Mosier lek is within 4 miles of the southernmost monitoring well for the hydro study, however, due to the lek’s proximity to urban environments, gravel pits, etc., she does not expect that noise from the drilling to reach the lek. To be covered she suggests avoiding drilling activities during lek hours Greg Copeland (rPlus) attended a Natural Resource Advisory Committee of White Pine County meeting to provide an updated on the project Greg Copeland provided an updated POD to the BLM with the requested information included BLM has indicated via letter dated November 18, 2022, that they cannot currently support a site-specific amendment to the ARMPA and that other options should be evaluated, rPlus is now considering other alternatives

She confirmed after consultation with NPS and NNR, they have a consensus on the chosen KOPs, photo angles and methodologies for the photosimulations. She asked for clarification on parameters for the "normal operations worst case". She said the NPS does not concur with the 6-week study period May 15 - June 26 because they believe it should be a year-long study to capture the variations in train ridership Julia Wood let Lil Jonas (NPS) know that rPlus would be implementing the agreed upon photosimulations. She clarified the minimum operating level for the lower reservoir and fluctuations On behalf of the NNR, Marvin Griff requested further clarification regarding timing of water level fluctuations Julia Wood clarified that the reservoir is expected to generate and drain once a day, and the lower reservoir would not be below the normal minimum level except during periodic maintenance

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Notice of Intent to File Application for Original License Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process Pre-Application Document
Dear Secretary Bose: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine or Applicant) is submitting to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) a Notice of Intent (NOI) to file an Application for an Original License and the accompanying Pre-Application Document (PAD) for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project), a proposed closed-loop pumped storage project in White Pine County, Nevada. White Pine is concurrently submitting a request to use FERC’s Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) with the NOI and PAD. White Pine believes that use of the TLP would provide the most efficient and effective licensing approach for the Project. Pursuant to the requirements of 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 5.3, White Pine has incorporated a request to use the TLP in this NOI. Stakeholders on the attached distribution list may obtain a copy of the NOI and PAD electronically through FERC’s eLibrary at https://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/search/fercgensearch.asp under docket number P-14851. Distribution of this letter is being done via email if an email address is available, otherwise via U.S. mail. Two paper copies are being sent to FERC Staff in the Office of Energy Projects and Office of General Counsel – Energy Projects.

WHITE PINE PUMPED STORAGE PROJECT FERC PROJECT NO. 14851 REQUEST TO USE THE TRADITIONAL LICENSING PROCESS White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is including in this filing a request to use the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC or Commission) Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project). Justification for this request is provided below, as required by 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §5.3. (A)
Likelihood of Timely License Issuance Through use of the TLP, White Pine anticipates the timely issuance of an original license for the Project. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would entail the construction of a new 1,000 megawatt (MW) closed-loop pumped storage facility, comprised of two new artificial reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits, along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. White Pine believes the wealth of available resource information and the limited degree of likely Project resource impacts will allow for the timely issuance of an original license for the Project.
(B)
Complexity of the Resource Issues White Pine requested information regarding potential resource issues associated with the Project licensing in a letter dated December 6, 2019, that was distributed to state and federal resource agencies and other identified stakeholders. No responses were received. Based on information collected to date, the resource issues associated with the White Pine Project are of modest complexity and are common in FERC licensing proceedings. Each resource issue will be discussed in detail at Project meetings and addressed by White Pine’s proposed resource studies.
(C)
Level of Anticipated Controversy White Pine expects limited controversy associated with the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. White Pine has already begun the process of working with resource agencies to determine resource issues that will need to be considered during the licensing process. White Pine introduced the Project and the planned used of the TLP in an informationrequest letter dated December 6, 2019, that was distributed to state and federal resource agencies and other identified stakeholders to identify preliminary issues. Given the modest complexity of issues identified to date, it is not currently anticipated at the Project will result in significant controversy that cannot be overcome through a cooperative TLP process.
(D)
Relative Cost of the Traditional Process Compared to the Integrated Process White Pine believes that the TLP will be more cost efficient than other licensing processes due to a potentially shorter period of pre-application activity, the preparation of fewer formal documents and filings, and the subsequent reduction of reviews associated with such filings. This reduction in formal filings will not only benefit White Pine, but will also benefit agencies, other licensing participants, and the Commission. 1

Filed Date: 05/15/2020
The Amount of Available Information and Potential for Significant Disputes over Studies The Project Pre-Application Document (PAD) contains a significant amount of information regarding resources associated with the Project. White Pine anticipates that the combination of information contained in the PAD and the information that will be developed from implementation of resource studies will provide all the information needed for licensing of the Project. It is White Pine’s goal to conduct its pre-filing consultation in a manner that addresses and resolves, to the extent possible, any differences of opinion regarding the design and implementation of any necessary studies. Based on preparation of the PAD and consultation with Project stakeholders, there is a considerable amount of available information regarding resources associated with the Project, and White Pine does not anticipate significant disputes over resource studies.
(F)
Other Factors Believed by the Applicant to be Pertinent White Pine is committed to comprehensive consultation with Project stakeholders and believes that use of the TLP will provide the best opportunity to facilitate stakeholder participation and foster collaborative decision-making. Additionally, White Pine believes the TLP will provide the most efficient, effective, and least burdensome process for all stakeholders interested in the White Pine Pumped Storage Project licensing proceeding. White Pine believes that this justification provides good cause for the Commission to grant this request to use the TLP and appreciates the Commission’s consideration of this request.

1.0
Introduction and Background This Pre-Application Document (PAD) describes the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project), which will be located in White Pine County, Nevada approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is proposed by White Pine Waterpower, LLC, (White Pine), and would entail the construction of a new 1,000 megawatt (MW) closed-loop pumped storage facility comprised of two new artificial reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. A Project location map is provided as Figure 4.0-1. White Pine’s PAD and associated Notice of Intent (NOI) to file a license application represent the initiation of a licensing process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. Additionally, Project development will require a suite of additional state, local, and federal authorizations and permits. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in October 2021. Records of White Pine’s consultation to date is included in Appendix A. Transmission lines necessary for the Project will be located in an existing permitted energy corridor identified under Section 368 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act). Section 368 of the Act directed the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, and the Interior to designate corridors on federal land in Nevada and other Western states for pipelines and electricity transmission and distribution facilities. The designations identified preferred locations for development of energy transport projects on lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The locations were selected to avoid significant known resource and environmental conflicts, promote renewable energy and development in the West, improve reliability, relieve congestion, and enhance the capability of the national grid to deliver electricity (U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) undated). The Project would site transmission lines in the 110-114 corridor of Section 368’s Region 3. The 110-114 corridor is designed to support connectivity to multiple energy generation sources and promote efficient use of the landscape by aligning the corridor with energy demand while minimizing environmental impacts (BLM, USFS, and DOE 2019). Portions of the Project would intersect with the routing of portions of the track for the existing Nevada Northern Railway, a historic passenger railroad and National Historic Landmark. White Pine intends to work with the Nevada Northern Railway during the FERC licensing process to consider track rerouting to accommodate Project construction. Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources

are developed and older coal and nuclear stations are retired. Renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the Project will use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and will be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the Project will provide other electric system services important for a stable transmission grid, fostering the continued integration of renewable energy in the region.

Project Location, Facilities, and Operation The Project will consist of an off-stream, closed-loop, pumped storage Project with an upper and lower reservoir with approximately 2,100 feet of maximum gross head, allowing for relatively small water conveyances. Other features include underground water conveyance tunnels, underground powerhouse and step-up transformer caverns, 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission line(s), an outdoor switchyard, and other appurtenant facilities. Equipment will tentatively consist of three 333-MW, adjustable-speed, reversible pumpturbines, totaling 1,000 MW of generating capacity. Total annual gross energy production would be projected at approximately 2,920 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Figure 4.0-1 provides an overview of the Project location and setting and shows currently-identified proposed Project facilities. Additional facilities, such as water supply conveyances, will be described in White Pine’s license application or licensing study reports as their design is advanced. The following physical structures are proposed based on existing data and analyses. These anticipated Project features may be refined based on further studies.

4.1
Upper Dam and Reservoir The upper reservoir would be formed by limited excavation and by construction of a dam to achieve the required storage volume for 8 hours of operation. The dam is assumed to be an approximately 175-foot-high rockfill dam with a 25-foot-wide dam crest, which would provide vehicle access around the rim of the reservoir, and 10 feet of freeboard at normal maximum water level. The dam height would be sufficient to contain the water volume associated with an overpumping event as well as a probable maximum flood event, such that no spillway is expected to be required. A low-level outlet would be included to allow emergency draining of the upper reservoir. Preliminary estimates indicate a 24- to 36-inch outlet size will be sufficient to meet reservoir emptying guidelines. The outlet would include an energy dissipation structure and downstream open channel conveyance channel. Both the dam and reservoir are assumed to require a liner to reduce water losses from infiltration and seepage. Additional details regarding preliminary descriptions of the upper reservoir and dam are provided in Table 4.1-1.

Lower Dam and Reservoir The lower reservoir would be formed by a combination of excavation and construction of an embankment with the excavated material. The dam is assumed to be a 130-foot-high embankment with a 25-foot-wide dam crest, which would provide vehicle access around the rim of the reservoir and 10 feet of freeboard at normal maximum water level. The reservoir would be sized to contain the volume required for the initial fill of the Project, which includes all the water expected to be needed, plus adequate freeboard to also contain a probable maximum flood event. Therefore, no spillway is expected to be required

for the lower reservoir. Similar to the upper reservoir, a low-level outlet would be included to allow emergency draining of the lower reservoir. Preliminary estimates indicate a 24- to 36-inch outlet size will be sufficient to meet reservoir emptying guidelines. The outlet would include an energy dissipation structure and downstream open channel conveyance channel. Both the dam and reservoir are assumed to require a liner to reduce water losses from infiltration and seepage.

Inlet-Outlet Structures The low-level outlet works on either reservoir are assumed to consist of an outlet structure at the existing ground elevation and a bellmouth intake structure on the inside face of the dam just below the normal minimum water level. A conduit through the dam will connect the intake and the outlet structure. The outlet structure will include a flow control valve and an energy dissipation structure. It is assumed that the outlet diameter would be 15 inches, which preliminary calculations indicate could empty either reservoir in approximately 2 months. The Project is proposed to have an ungated vertical intake/outlet located at the bottom of the upper reservoir. The intake/outlet would be designed as a morning glory or bellmouthtype structure to provide efficient hydraulic flow into the 23-foot-diameter vertical shaft, with a hood installed as a vortex suppression device. Since the entire upper reservoir will

be lined and with no contributing drainage area, no intake trashracks are anticipated to be required. The horizontal lower reservoir intake/outlet will be designed for a maximum approach velocity of 5 feet per second (fps). The tailrace tunnel will expand into an intake structure that includes a vertical slide gate for isolating the tailrace tunnel from the lower reservoir. A short approach channel will be excavated to ensure adequate intake submergence and hydraulically acceptable approach flow conditions to minimize risk of air-entraining vortex formation.
4.4
Powerhouse The powerhouse structure will be an underground cavern with approximate dimensions of 360 feet long by 90 feet wide by 150 feet high. The powerhouse will include all the generating and pumping mechanical equipment described below. A separate step-up transformer cavern, connected to the powerhouse by two small tunnels that will contain the power electronics necessary for the variable speed units, will house the step-up transformers, one for each pump-turbine unit. The transformer cavern will also include the draft tube gates that can be used to completely isolate the pump-turbines from the lower reservoir. The Project will include three 333-MW, variable-speed, Francis-type pump-turbines, providing a total of 1,000 MW of generating power and pumping load, and provide balancing services and renewable energy flexible capacity to utilities in Nevada and potentially other balancing authorities to decarbonize the electric power system costeffectively. The rated head for each unit will be approximately 2,000 feet, resulting in approximately 2,300 cubic feet per second (cfs) flow at full generating power and 1,800 cfs at full pumping power. Each pump-turbine will be connected to an approximately 400 megavolt-amperes (MVA) motor-generator with variable speed technology that will allow load following and frequency control in both turbine and pump modes of operation. The equipment will provide an overall cycle efficiency for pumping and generating between 0.75 and 0.80. The estimated annual energy generation for operation 8 hours per day and 7 days per week is approximately 2,920 GWh. There is no tailrace in a typical sense for this Project as this is a pumped storage project. The tailrace of the Project is the tailrace tunnel and lower reservoir as described above.
4.5
Water Conveyance Between Reservoirs The water conveyances will consist of a vertical intake/outlet structure in the upper reservoir connected to a 23-foot-diameter and 2,000-foot-long vertical shaft that will transition to a 23-foot-diameter and 2,500-foot-long, horizontal, high-pressure headrace tunnel. The headrace tunnel will connect to three 13-foot-diameter penstocks. The vertical shaft and horizontal headrace tunnel will be lined with concrete to improve hydraulic characteristics and to reduce leakage into adjacent rock. The penstocks will be steel-lined and will include a turbine inlet valve just upstream of each pump-turbine.

Each pump-turbine draft tube will connect to a 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined draft tube tunnel, the three of which combine into a 23-foot-diameter, concrete-lined tailrace tunnel that terminates at the lower reservoir intake/outlet structure.
4.6
Transmission Transmission lines necessary for the Project will be located in existing permitted energy corridors per Section 368 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 as discussed in Section 1.0. Each unit motor-generator is connected to a step-up transformer that is assumed to step up the generator voltage to 345 kV. These step-up transformers are located in a separate cavern just adjacent to the main powerhouse cavern, as described above. High voltage (345 kV) transmission lines will be routed from the underground transformer gallery in a combined emergency access and transmission tunnel to an outdoor switchyard. A high-voltage transmission line will be routed within an existing transmission right-of-way from the Project’s outdoor switchyard approximately 23 miles to the interconnection location.
4.7
Project Access Both permanent and temporary construction access must be provided to the various Project features. Most of the temporary construction access roads will be converted to permanent Project access roads to facilitate maintenance, operation, and inspection activities. Other temporary access roads will likely be decommissioned following construction completion.
4.7.1
Access to Lower Dam and Lower Reservoir Construction road access to the lower reservoir and dam construction area is assumed to be provided by a new and separate entrance on Highway 93 (Lincoln Highway). The grade increases from approximately 5 percent near the highway to over 10 percent near the upper reservoir, such that some grading and switchbacks to meet maximum grade requirements will be required. This route would provide both construction and permanent access to the lower reservoir and dam. The length of the road to the base of the lower dam is approximately 1 mile. It is assumed that the road surface will be gravel, although this will be evaluated in more detail in the feasibility study phase. In addition, a road along the top and along the base of the embankment will be included to facilitate inspection of the downstream face and for instrumentation monitoring along the toe.

4.7.2
Access to Powerhouse Access Tunnels An access road must be constructed to the powerhouse access tunnel portal, which is assumed will be located not necessarily adjacent to the lower reservoir and dam. Two tunnels will be necessary for redundant permanent access, but also to facilitate material hauling during construction of the underground facilities. The length of the road would be approximately 1.5 miles.
4.7.3
Access to Upper Dam and Reservoir It is assumed that construction and permanent access to the upper dam and reservoir area will be from White Pine County Road No. 29. There is an existing parking lot and entrance to the back-country for recreational purposes, but it is assumed that a new Project-specific entrance will be constructed approximately one-quarter of a mile north from that parking area. The access road would cross Duck Creek, which flows immediately adjacent to White Pine County Road No. 29 and it is assumed that a new small bridge will be required to minimize any construction impacts to that creek. The access road alignment would follow existing jeep trails up to the location of the lower reservoir and dam. Significant grading is expected to be required to improve the roads to meet the width and horizontal curve radius requirements as well as the grade requirements. The length of the access road to the location of the upper reservoir dam is approximately 3 miles. A second access road to the top of the reservoir and reservoir rim is expected to be necessary. As the sides of the valley are steep, a fairly long access road with one or more switchbacks is expected. The length of this access road is approximately 1.5 miles to the top of the left dam abutment.
4.7.4
Other Project Access Roads In addition to the surface roads presented above, access roads will also be provided around the rim of each reservoir, across both dams, to any rock quarries, and to the bottom of each reservoir. Access to the reservoir rims will be provided by the above-described access roads, but also by access roads up the outside slope of each dam, which will also facilitate inspections of the dams and monitoring of any instrumentation installed on the dams. Access to the bottom of each reservoir will be provided to allow machinery and equipment to perform maintenance and repairs on the intakes and on the lining.

Initial Fill Volume Prior to the start of commercial operations, the Project must be filled with the water required for equipment commissioning and normal operations. Full pressure hydrostatic tests must be completed on the conduits, gates, and valves; the dams must be tested by slowly filling up the reservoirs and observing their performance; and pump-turbine equipment commissioning tests must be completed over the full range of head. The total Project volume required includes: upper and lower reservoir dead storage, total volume contained within the conduits, and the total active storage. Based on the Project arrangement, the sum of these volumes is 4,885 acre-feet, which must be provided in the lower reservoir (see Table 4.8-1 for additional details). In addition, any net water losses due to evaporation and precipitation must be replaced during the initial fill. The amount of water lost due to evaporation is approximately 300 acre-feet per year, based on an estimated annual evaporation of 4.7 feet and an average lower reservoir water surface area of 63 acres for each year of filling. The amount of annual precipitation is approximately 70 acre-feet, based on average annual precipitation of 9.7 inches across a lower reservoir dam crest footprint of 84 acres. The result is an annual average net loss of water of approximately 230 acre-feet that must be included in the total initial fill volume. The time available to fill up the reservoirs with the required water volume is important, since it determines the actual flow rate required. Although the total volume increases due to evaporation losses, filling up the reservoir over a longer period will significantly reduce the flow rate needed to be pumped from an aquifer that may have limited capacity to supply the water. Table 4.8-1 presents the estimated initial fill volumes for fill periods of 1 to 4 years.

Initial reservoir fill for the Project is anticipated to be drawn from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County for well sites north of McGill, Nevada. The County's water rights under previously-granted permits in this area exceed 20,000 acre-feet per year, which substantially exceeds the one-time fill requirement for the proposed Project. Under White Pine County Resolution 2019-40 (August 14, 2019), the County Commission voted unanimously to provide the requested amount of fill water to the Project.

Description of Existing Environment
5.1
Basin Overview The proposed Project is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin (Basin) (Figure 5.1-1) in eastcentral Nevada. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, approximately 2 miles northeast of the Project, is the closest body of water to the Project and is located in a semiarid climate and much of the creek flow originates as spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately elevation 7,900 feet to elevation 11,883 feet.
5.1.1
Description of the River Basin Duck Creek is approximately 119 miles long with headwaters located in the upper elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The headwaters begin within the Humboldt National Forest. Duck Creek then flows north through White Pine County to Steptoe Slough and Bassett Lake which are located approximately 5 miles northwest of McGill, Nevada. Approximately 47 miles to the north of the headwaters, it spills into Goshute Lake, a normally dry lakebed which sits on the border of White Pine and Elko counties (NDCNR 1967).
5.1.1.1
Tributary Rivers and Streams There are no major tributaries that flow into Duck Creek. There are, however, a few minor tributaries. Upstream of the proposed Project, Gilford Creek and McDonald Creek merge with Duck Creek; and downstream multiple minor tributaries meet Duck Creek including Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, and North Creek. Duck Creek then passes through Steptoe Slough and Bassett Lake, and continues to where Schell Creek meets Duck Creek, approximately 22 miles south of Goshute Lake (Figure 5.1-2). All of these tributaries flow in from the east and originate in the higher elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range (NDCNR 1967).

5.1.2
Major Land and Water Uses The Project will be located entirely within White Pine County, Nevada. The land is owned and managed by the DOI, BLM. This area is known to be one of the most remote regions in the state (Town of McGill 2016).
5.1.2.1
Major Land Uses White Pine County is remotely populated with just around 10,000 residents, most of which live near the City of Ely, Nevada (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] 2007). Humboldt National Forest, located just east of the Project area, provides year-round camping, boating, and hiking opportunities (USFS undated). Lands surrounding the Project are used primarily for grazing, irrigation, mining, and recreation. The BLM administers over twelve million acres of public land in White Pine, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, which are available for livestock grazing, mineral production, recreation, and wildlife habitat (BLM undated). The major economic use of land in White Pine County historically was mining, specifically copper mining; however, as this industry has declined there has been a loss of mining-related jobs. Tourism and recreation have now become the more prominent industries in the area (USGS 2007). Lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are almost entirely owned by the BLM (approximately 916.33 acres). In addition, there are some small parcels that are privately owned, as well (approximately 57.5 acres) (Figure 5.1-3). Within the Conceptual Project Boundary, the majority of land cover includes woodland, desert scrub, grasslands, and shrubland; and there is very little developed land (USGS 2017).

5.1.2.2
Major Water Uses Groundwater and surface water in White Pine County have been fully appropriated. The overall trend in Nevada is the development of groundwater to serve municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. With the high growth in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, the Southern Nevada Authority has filed groundwater applications for between 125,000 and 200,000 acre-feet from White Pine County and two other counties. In addition, White Pine County and other private parties are proposing development projects in White Pine County to serve growing municipalities. In White Pine County, the available groundwater is fully committed to existing water uses (BLM 2007). The Steptoe Valley Basin primarily provides water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, and milling and mining purposes (Nevada Division of Water Resources [NDWR] undated). The perennial stream, Duck Creek, is extremely shallow, which prevents navigation as being a major use. White Pine County serves as a critical recharge area for regional flow systems (USGS 2017). The Nevada Division of Natural Resources (NDNR) estimates a perennial yield for Steptoe Valley of 70,000 acre-feet based on net annual recharge projections. For the Steptoe Valley, the NDNR has current reported commitments of 167,732 acre-feet; 25,317 acre-feet; and 29,506 acre-feet in active annual duty for groundwater and other groundwater categories, and for pending annual duty groundwater, respectively (Table 5.1-1).

Major Dams and Diversions Approximately 10 miles northwest of the Conceptual Project Boundary is Bassett Lake, a man-made lake, which was constructed as a settling pond for the copper mill tailings. It was constructed and owned by the Kennecott Copper Corporation. A small dam across a natural lowland area was constructed to it, and some water from Duck Creek was re-routed through the lake to support the smelter at the mine. Outflow from the lake was discharged though a ditch used for irrigation (NDCNR 1967). The mine is no longer in operation, however, the lake is still used for recreation and irrigation.

Regional Setting
5.2.1.1
Physiography and Topography The proposed Project is located in the Great Basin of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. The Great Basin includes most of the State of Nevada and is bound by the Wasatch Mountains to the east, the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges to the west, and the Snake River basin to the north. The Basin and Range Physiographic Province is characterized by generally north-south trending mountain ranges, separated by intervening valleys and basins, and encompasses portions of a number of States including Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Texas. This region has widely variable elevations; basins are typically about 4,000 to 5,000 feet above mean sea level and the mountain ranges are generally 3,000 to 5,000 feet above the basins. Mountain ranges and valleys are generally 5 to 15 miles wide and 40 to 80 miles long (Prudic et al., 1995). Mountain ranges are rugged and typically made up of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, while valleys are filled with eroded material from adjacent mountains. Valley floors include geomorphic features such as alluvial fans, playas, and sand dunes.
5.2.1.2
Geologic History The geology of the region includes Precambrian (4.6 billion years [by] to 54 million years [my] before present), Paleozoic (541-252 my), Mesozoic (252-60 my), and Cenozoic (66 my to present) rocks. During the Precambrian Era, igneous and metamorphic rocks formed in an ancient crust and a stable continental margin was formed (BLM 2007). The Precambrian rocks consist of intrusive igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, quartzites, and phyllites. For much of the Paleozoic Era (Cambrian through Permian) present-day eastern Nevada formed the continental shelf of what was then the west coast of North America. The shoreline was situated in present-day Utah and the ancient continental shelf extended from present-day southern Idaho, across western Nevada, to southeastern California (BLM 2008). Massive expanses of carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) were formed during this time as the shallow marine environment allowed accumulations of carbonate sediment to accumulate up to 30,000 feet. The Paleozoic-age carbonate deposits form an eastwardthinning wedge and are exposed in many of the mountain ranges. This area of thick, uniformly distributed, carbonate deposits overlying clastic and crystalline basement rocks of Cambrian and Precambrian age is referred to as the Carbonate Rock Province (BLM 2008). The Carbonate Rock Province of the Great Basin extends through most of eastern Nevada and into western Utah. The depositional thickness and lithology of the rocks are notable in their homogeneity over large areas in the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. Since deposition, however, compression, extension, intrusive and volcanic episodes, and erosion have modified their distribution and thickness. The actual thickness and distribution of the various rock types at depth are not well known because of the structural complexity of the region and because granitic rocks are more extensive at depth than May 15, 2020 | 19

indicated by outcrops (Prudic et al. 1995). The only mountain-building event to affect the region and especially eastern Nevada during the Paleozoic was the Antler Orogeny (Devonian to Mississippian), which was marked by uplift, erosion, and subsequent deposition of significant volumes of conglomeratic material, but otherwise lacked the signatures typically associated with an orogeny (e.g., metamorphism, granitic intrusion) (BLM 2008). Beginning in the Mesozoic Era, the depositional environment changed from marine to continental (Prudic et al. 1995). Overall, the Mesozoic was marked by periods of deposition (Triassic), volcanic activity and igneous intrusion in the vicinity of the present-day Snake Range (Jurassic), and thrusting from the Sevier Orogeny, causing massive folding and faulting (Cretaceous). The Mesozoic ended with the extinction of the dinosaurs and granitic intrusions were widespread, resulting in metallic ore formation throughout the region (BLM 2007). Isolated complexes of metamorphic rocks of possible Mesozoic age have been identified at four locations in the province: the Ruby Mountains just south of Elko, the Snake Range east of Ely, the Deep Creek Range north of the Snake Range, and the Grouse Creek Mountains in northwestern Utah at the northern boundary of the Great Basin with the Snake River drainage (Prudic et al. 1995). The Cenozoic Era began with crustal extension during the Tertiary Period. Crustal extension resulted in Basin and Range normal faulting, earthquakes, mountain building, geothermal activity, massive landslides, and volcanic/ igneous activity. Many of the Tertiary rocks are composed of volcanic-derived materials called ignimbrites that are formed from ash flow-type volcanic eruptions. The Tertiary volcanic rocks range in age from late Eocene to Pliocene, but the thickness is undetermined; however, some measured sections are over 2,000 feet thick (BLM 2007). The normal faults resulting from tensional forces formed the north-to-northeast trending mountain ranges and adjacent sedimentary basins typical of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. In general, rocks of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic include (1) shale, sandstone, and conglomerate as well as lesser quantities of freshwater limestone and evaporitic deposits from Middle Triassic to middle or late Tertiary; (2) volcanic rocks of middle Tertiary to Quaternary age that range in composition from basalt to rhyolite; (3) intrusive rocks of Jurassic to Tertiary age that are predominantly granodiorite and quartz monzonite; and (4) since about middle Miocene time, clastic deposits (basin fill) that consist of unsorted to well-sorted clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders (Prudic et al. 1995). The geologic structure of the Great Basin is complex; however, in general there are four major types of fault styles in the Project vicinity: low angle reverse, ecoulement, strike-slip, and normal faults (BLM 2007). Thrust faulting during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras superimposed older rocks on top of younger rocks. Strike-slip faults in parts of the Great Basin add to the structural complexity of the region and probably are directly associated with extensional events (Prudic et al. 1995). Successive episodes of faulting have obscured earlier faulting. Cretaceous age shortening created north-northeast-trending folds across the eastern Great Basin. Extension formed closely spaced normal faults and Miocene and younger-bounding, normal fault systems at high angles to bedding cutting, low-angle faults (Norman 2013). Most of the mountain ranges are bounded on at least one side by a major high-angle normal fault. The mountains represent the uplifted blocks and May 15, 2020 | 20

the valleys are downthrown blocks. The amount of displacement on the faults can range from 1,000 to 15,000 feet or more (BLM 2007).
5.2.1.3
Mineral Resources Nevada produces approximately $100 million worth of geothermally generated electric power annually, and geothermal resources also are used for agriculture, industrial applications, and space heating (Price 2020). The state also produces approximately $3 billion worth of mineral commodities each year and is the nation’s leading gold producer, accounting for approximately 75 percent of U.S. production and 10 percent of world production (Price 2020). Much of the gold comes from a northwest-trending belt of gold deposits in northeast Nevada known as the Carlin trend. Nevada, also called the “Silver State,” is the nation’s leading producer of silver, barite, mercury, and lithium. Much of the silver is a co-product or by-product of gold production, and all the mercury currently produced is a by-product of precious metal recovery. Lithium is extracted from brine that occurs in Tertiary valley-filling sediments near Silver Peak in the southwestern corner of the state (Price 2020). Other commodities that are currently mined in Nevada include gypsum, limestone (for cement and lime), clays, salt, magnesite, diatomite, silica sand, dimension stone, and crushed rock, sand, and gravel for construction aggregate. Many of these commodities can be found in the Project vicinity. Nevada produces some oil, although production is small relative to that in major oil states. In the counties surrounding the Project, oil has been discovered in Pine Valley (Eureka County) and Elko County. Peterson and Grow (1995) have estimated that the potential hydrocarbon resources near the Project could be around 98 million barrels of oil and almost 16 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
5.2.2
Project Setting
5.2.2.1
Topography The proposed Project is located in the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. The proposed lower reservoir is located in the Steptoe Valley, while the proposed upper reservoir is located in the Duck Creek Mountain Range, just five miles west of the larger Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley is bordered the west by the Egan Mountain Range. Elevations in the Project vicinity are widely variable (Figure 5.2-1). The average elevation of the proposed lower reservoir is approximately 6,500 feet above mean sea level. The average elevation of the proposed upper reservoir is approximately 8,500 feet above mean sea level. The proposed access road will extend to the top of Duck Creek Range at an elevation of approximately 7,400 feet. Terrain is rugged in the mountain ranges in the Project vicinity and relatively flat on the valley floor. Initial and secondary uplift of the region has provided the necessary stream gradients whereby the streams of the region have down cut into and dissected the existing landforms, creating dissected drainage patterns on the mountain slopes, which typically terminate in alluvial fans on the adjacent valley floors.

5.2.2.2
Geology The overall mapped geology within the Conceptual Project Boundary as well as the Project vicinity is provided on Figure 5.2-2. Precambrian (exposed) rocks are predominantly gneiss, schist, and granite and Cambrian formations consist of mostly quartzite and shale. The area within the Conceptual Project Boundary has undergone episodes of sedimentation, volcanic activity, and tectonic deformation by compressional and extensional forces (see Section 5.2.1). The Paleozoic sediments, which accumulated in a shallow sea near the continental margin, include sequences of clastic rocks such as sandstone, quartzite, shale and carbonates (i.e., limestone and dolomite). Most normal faults within the Project vicinity are associated with mountain building and extensional forces (i.e., Schell and Duck Creek Mountains) while the basins (i.e., Steptoe Valley) are filled with sediments derived from erosion of the mountains, which are locally tens of thousands of feet thick (Price 2020). As shown on Figure 5.2-2, the proposed lower reservoir is located in Quaternary-age alluvium (fill) while the upper reservoir is underlain by Ordovician carbonates (limestone, dolostone/dolomite). Portions of the eastern-most Conceptual Project Boundary are underlain by Quaternary alluvium as well as Late Eocene to Late Miocene sandstones and limestone. Paleontological resources have been documented in the Project vicinity including plant and animal fossils occurring in Cambrian, Mississippian, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene rocks. There is currently a BLM paleontological resource protection program in place for all public lands managed by the BLM, and trained scientists and researchers are able to collect fossils under a BLM permit managed and issued under the protection program (BLM 2007).

5.2.2.3
Soils Surficial geology and soils in the Project vicinity include unconsolidated sedimentary materials such as alluvial fan deposits. In general, there are four distinct geomorphic classifications or features that contain distinct surficial deposits and soils within the Project vicinity: (1) basins, (2) alluvial fans/stream terraces, (3) fan piedmonts, and (4) mountains. On the basin floors, unconsolidated sediment and soils may be deep, are moderately coarse to fine-grained, and show little soil profile development (BLM 2007). Soils within alluvial fans and on stream terraces are typically coarser-grained than the soils on the basin floors, but are similar in their lack of well-defined profile development. Soils and surficial deposits on fan piedmonts are usually shallow to deep with a steep gradient and moderately coarse to gravelly material. Oftentimes, these deposits contain silica and/or lime cementation. Surficial deposits and soils on the mountain slopes may be shallow or deep and contain gravel and coarse-grained material underlain by bedrock at shallow depths (BLM 2007). A list of soils, descriptions, and respective acreages mapped within the Conceptual Project Boundary is presented in Table 5.2-1 (NRCS 2020a). Soil types are depicted on Figure 5.2-3 (NRCS 2020b).

Water Resources
5.3.1
Drainage Area The USGS, NDWR, and NDCNR have divided the state of Nevada into 232 hydrographic basins within 14 major hydrographic regions (NDWR 2020). The proposed Project lies in the White Pine hydrographic basin within the Central Region (Hydrographic Region 10). The White Pine basin is a total of 46,783 square miles and is further divided into 15 subbasins. The entirety of the proposed Project is located in the Steptoe Valley sub-basin which has a total drainage area of 1,942 square miles.
5.3.2
Surface Water Resources Surface water features in the Steptoe Valley basin includes various streams, creeks and lakes; Comins Lake, Bassett Lake, and Goshute Lake. Goshute Lake is a “dry” lake (Figure 5.3-1). Many of the streams originate in the surrounding mountains and flow to the valley floor; however, the majority of the streams only reach the valley floor during times of heavy runoff generated from large storms. Only two streams flow perennially and reach the valley floor – Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Steptoe Creek is located to the south of the proposed Project, originates in the Duck Creek Range, and is spring fed. The Creek flows northward and typically terminates north of the Ely airport. However, during very wet seasons it has been known to reach Bassett Lake and in very wet periods flow into Duck Creek (BLM 2008). Duck Creek is the principal stream near the proposed Project site and originates east of the Duck Creek Range in Duck Creek Valley. Tributaries contributing to Duck Creek include Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, East Creek, and North Creek. Duck Creek flows through Gallagher Gap and divides into several small channels before typically infiltrating into a large alluvial fan north of the Town of McGill. Again, during periods of very high flows, Duck Creek has reached Bassett Lake. Duck Creek reappears as outflow from Basset Lake and continues north. Both Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek are considered “losing” creeks and continually lose water through infiltration as they flow across the valley floor.

Flows Flow data are available from a USGS gage located on Steptoe Creek (Station No. 10244950) (USGS 2020a). The drainage area of the Steptoe gage is reported as 11.1 square miles so it represents the upper watershed of the 108-square-mile drainage. Daily average inflows were estimated from the USGS gage based on a 54-year period of record (POR) of June 1, 1966, to March 12, 2020. Monthly average flows range from 3 cfs to 14 cfs (Table 5.3-1). The highest flow recorded during the POR was 73 cfs and the lowest flow was 2 cfs. High flows are typically experienced in spring thaw.

Groundwater Resources Steptoe Valley is located within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. This name refers to the region covering much of the western United States and northwestern Mexico and refers to the landscape of alternating valleys and mountains. Within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province, groundwater occurs in basin-fill deposits and the rock that underlies these deposits. (BLM 2008). The basin fill deposits in this area consists of unconsolidated sediments which are produced by the erosion of the surrounding mountains and hills. The sediments are

transported by streams and creeks and deposited onto the valley floor. The groundwater within Steptoe Valley is stored primarily within these basin-fill deposits. The fractured-rock aquifer in the carbonate rock beneath the basin-fill deposits does not directly yield groundwater to local wells. (BLM 2008). There is uncertainty regarding groundwater recharge in Steptoe Valley. It is believed the only known source is through precipitation, however, there has been suggestions that groundwater could flow into Steptoe Valley from neighboring Butte Valley (BLM 2008). In response to concerns about water availability and limited hydrogeological information, a water-resources study was initiated in December 2004 and conducted by the USGS, Desert Research Institute, and State of Utah. The study area included 13 hydrographic areas that covers most of White Pine County including Steptoe Valley. In this study, groundwater recharge, discharge, and storage was estimated for the study area. Steptoe Valley was found to have the highest annual recharge (about 154,000 acre-feet) and one of the highest annual discharge (about 101,000 acre-feet). Groundwater storage in Steptoe Valley was determined to be approximately 224,000 acre-feet (USGS 2007). The USGS monitors groundwater levels continuously in 27 wells and annually in 1,081 wells across Nevada. (USGS 2013). Daily average depth to water level data is available from USGS well 393310114475001 located approximately 15 miles north of the proposed Project site at latitude 39.5528 and longitude 114.7972 (USGS 2020b). The land surface altitude of the well is reported as 6,038 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and has a well and hole depth of 122 feet. Daily average depth to water levels were estimated based on a 37-year POR from August 10, 1983, to March 3, 2020. Monthly average depths (Table 5.3-2) range from 8 feet below surface elevation to 10 feet below surface elevation. The shallowest depth recorded during the POR was 6 feet and the deepest depth recorded was 13.7 feet below surface elevation. The 37-year record indicates stable groundwater elevations with approximately 2 feet of seasonal fluctuations each year.

Existing and Proposed Uses of Project Waters The Upper and Lower Reservoirs of the proposed Project will be part of a closed-loop pumped storage development. Initial reservoir fill for the Project is anticipated to be drawn from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County for well sites north of McGill, Nevada. The County's water rights under previously-granted permits in this area exceed 20,000 acre-feet per year, which substantially exceeds the one-time fill requirement for the proposed Project. Under White Pine County Resolution 2019-40 (August 14, 2019), the County Commission voted unanimously to provide the requested amount of fill water to the Project.

Water Quality
5.4.1
Affected Environment The proposed Project is located approximately 220 miles north of Las Vegas, in the Steptoe Valley of east-central Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in White Pine County. The Project will consist of an off-stream, closed-loop pumped storage project with a new upper and lower reservoir. The Project will not be located on an existing waterbody and will draw water from surrounding water source(s) for the initial fill.
5.4.2
Federally Approved Water Quality Standards Nevada’s water quality standards, as contained in the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 445A.11704 – 445A.2234, define the water quality goals for a waterbody, or a portion of a waterbody, by designating beneficial uses of the water and setting criteria necessary to protect the beneficial uses. Beneficial uses include, but are not limited to, contact recreation, irrigation, aquatic life, watering of livestock, and drinking water supply (Nevada Division of Environmental Protection [NDEP] 2019). Nevada’s water quality standards contain both narrative and numeric criteria. Narrative standards that apply to all surface waters of the State are contained in NAC 445A.121 and are listed below. These standards require waters to be “free from” various pollutants in sufficient levels so as to not be unsightly; interfere with any beneficial uses; create a public nuisance; be toxic to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life; or have any other adverse effects (NDEP 2019). The following standards are applicable to all surface waters of the State: 1. Waters must be free from substances attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources that will settle to form sludge or bottom deposits in amounts sufficient to be unsightly, putrescent, or odorous or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. 2. Waters must be free from floating debris, oil, grease, scum, and other floating materials attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. 3. Waters must be free from materials attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources in amounts sufficient to produce taste or odor in the water or detectable off-flavor in the flesh of fish or in amounts sufficient to change the existing color, turbidity, or other conditions in the receiving stream to such a degree as to create a public nuisance or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. 4. Waters must be free from high temperature, biocides, organisms pathogenic to human beings, toxic, corrosive, or other deleterious substances attributable to

domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources at levels or combinations sufficient to be toxic to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. Compliance with the provisions of this subsection may be determined in accordance with methods of testing prescribed by the Department. If used as an indicator, survival of test organisms must not be significantly less in test water than in control water. 5. If toxic materials are known or suspected by the Department to be present in a water, testing for toxicity may be required to determine compliance with the provisions of this section and effluent limitations. The Department may specify the method of testing to be used. The failure to determine the presence of toxic materials by testing does not preclude a determination by the Department, on the basis of other criteria or methods, that excessive levels of toxic materials are present. 6. Radioactive materials attributable to municipal, industrial, or other controllable sources must be the minimum concentrations that are physically and economically feasible to achieve. In no case must materials exceed the limits established in the 1962 Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards (or later amendments) or 1/30th of the MPC values given for continuous occupational exposure in the “National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 69.” The concentrations in water must not result in accumulation of radioactivity in plants or animals that result in a hazard to humans or harm to aquatic life. 7. Wastes from municipal, industrial, or other controllable sources containing arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, cyanide, fluoride, lead, selenium, silver, copper, and zinc that are reasonably amenable to treatment or control must not be discharged untreated or uncontrolled into the waters of Nevada. In addition, the limits for concentrations of the chemical constituents must provide water quality consistent with the mandatory requirements of the 1962 Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards. 8. The specified standards are not considered violated when the natural conditions of the receiving water are outside the established limits, including periods of extreme high or low flow. Where effluents are discharged to such waters, the discharges are not considered a contributor to substandard conditions provided maximum treatment in compliance with permit requirements is maintained. Duck Creek is the closest water source to the proposed Project and, therefore, water quality standards are presented below for this water source. Water quality standards for Duck Creek from its origin to the pipeline intake, near the center of section 24, T18N, R64E, MDBM are provided in Table 5.4-1.

Existing Water Quality Data There is no water quality data available in the immediate Project vicinity. The closest water source to the proposed Project is Duck Creek, which supports the following beneficial uses: (1) aquatic life, (2) irrigation, (3) municipal and domestic supply, (4) propagation of wildlife, (5) recreation with contact, (6) recreation with no contact, and (7) watering livestock (NDEP 2019). There are no USGS gages on Duck Creek that collect water quality data in the Project vicinity. The closest USGS gage with available water quality data is USGS gage 10244950 Steptoe Creek near Ely, Nevada. Water quality data from this gage was only available for February 21, 1968, through February 13, 1996. During this time period, all water quality recordings met the state standards, with the exception of two instances where pH was above the threshold on January 23, 1971 (9.1) and on March 6, 1973 (9.5) (USGS 2020). The lowest recorded water temperature for this dataset was 3.5°C and the highest recorded water temperature was 14°C. Specific conductance ranged from 218 microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm) to 403 µS/cm. Dissolved oxygen levels ranged from a low of 6.8 mg/L to a high of 12.1 mg/L. The pH levels during this time period ranged from a low of 7.4 to a high of 9.5, with two instances that were above state standards as mentioned above. All of the available water quality data from USGS gage 10244950 is presented in Appendix B.

Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Limited information is available describing the fisheries and aquatic resources of Duck Creek, the closest water source to the Project. Therefore, regional information from adjacent areas are also referenced in this section to help describe these resources.
5.5.1
Aquatic Habitat The only aquatic habitat within the Project vicinity is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between Duck Creek Mountain Range and Schell Creek Mountain Range and alongside White Pine County Rd 29. Stream segments on BLM-administered land generally have varying habitat conditions of low to moderate quality (BLM 2007). Fish populations are not monitored consistently. Primary threats to fish and aquatic organism habitat include habitat alterations through changes in vegetation cover and species composition, the spread of noxious weeds, water depletions, manipulations of stream channel form (e.g., channelization; wider, shallower channels; bank erosion), and grazing (BLM 2007, USFS 2011).
5.5.2
Historical Fish and Aquatic Resources No information is available regarding the historical fish and aquatic resources within the Conceptual Project Boundary or in the Project vicinity. Existing fish and aquatic resources are discussed below in Section 5.5.3.
5.5.3
Existing Fish and Aquatic Resources Both, coldwater and warmwater gamefish species are present in Duck Creek, including Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), and Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides), and Northern Pike (Esox lucius) (BLM 2007). No stocking of Duck Creek is performed by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) (2019). Native non-gamefish species are also present in the Project vicinity, including species from sucker (Catostomidae), minnow (Cyprinidae), and killifish (Fundulidae) families (BLM 2007). No additional information regarding specific species of these families is provided. The only sensitive species present in the Project vicinity (Steptoe Valley) is the Relict Dace (Relictus solitarius) (BLM 2008, 2017; NDOW 2013). However, Relict Dace are found in springs, spring-fed streams, ponds, and intermittent lakes and marshes with mud or stone bottoms. Since Duck Creek does not contain any of these habitats, this species is not expected to be present within the Conceptual Project Boundary.

5.5.3.1
Fish Profiles No obligate migrant fish species (catadromous or anadromous) are known to be present in Duck Creek; however, some fish species may exhibit localized spawning migrations or movements related to seasonal habitat fluctuations. Profiles of fish species present in Duck Creek are discussed below.
Rainbow Trout Rainbow Trout are found in clear, cold headwaters, creeks, small to large rivers, and lakes with cool temperatures and high dissolved oxygen concentrations (Froese and Pauly 2019). They are anadromous in coastal streams, and lake populations will undertake migrations to spawning streams. Rainbow Trout reach maturity at two or three years of age and spawn from November until May. Females lay eggs in excavated pits and bury the eggs after depositing. Rainbow Trout feed on a variety of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates and small fish (Froese and Pauly 2019). Rainbow Trout are not native to Nevada (BLM 2007).
Brown Trout Brown Trout are found in streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes with cold, well-oxygenated water (Froese and Pauly 2019). In mountainous areas, they prefer larger streams with cover in the form of submerged rocks, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation. They reach reproductive maturity in three to four years; lake populations of Brown Trout make migrations to tributaries or lake outlets to spawn in swift current. Young Brown Trout feed on aquatic and terrestrial insects, transitioning to mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish as adults (Froese and Pauly 2019). This species is not native to Nevada (BLM 2007, NDOW 1984).
Brook Trout Like other trout, Brook Trout are found in clear, cool, well-oxygenated creeks, small to medium rivers, and lakes (Froese and Pauly 2019). They are anadromous in some coastal populations, and may make seasonal migrations upstream and downstream in stream populations. Brook Trout spawn over excavated pits (“redds”) and cover the eggs following deposition. Brook Trout feed on many types of organisms, including worms, leeches, crustaceans, insects, mollusks, fish, and amphibians (Froese and Pauly 2019). Brook Trout are not native to Nevada (BLM 2007, NDOW 1984).
Largemouth Bass Largemouth Bass are found in a variety of habitats, including lakes/impoundments, ponds, swamps, backwaters of pools of creeks, and small to large rivers (Froese and Pauly 2019). They prefer quiet, clear water and overgrown banks. Largemouth Bass reach reproductive maturity around five years of age and spawn in spring to summer when temperatures reach 15°C. Like other centrarchids, Largemouth Bass construct nests in the littoral zone and guard the deposited eggs. Largemouth Bass are a gape-limited predator and will feed on May 15, 2020 | 41

a variety of organisms including fish, crayfish, frogs, birds, and small mammals. Young Largemouth Bass feed on crustaceans, insects, and small fish (Froese and Pauly 2019). They are not native to Nevada (BLM 2007, NDOW 1984).
Northern Pike Northern Pike occur in clear, vegetated lakes; quiet pools and backwaters of creeks; and small to large rivers (Froese and Pauly 2019). They are usually solitary and highly territorial. Spawning takes place over vegetation and no parental care is provided. Adults feed on fish, frogs, and crayfish, though cannibalism is common (Froese and Pauly 2019). Like the previous gamefish described, Northern Pike are not native to Nevada (BLM 2007). It is also considered an aquatic invasive species (AIS) by the Nevada AIS Management Plan Working Group (NDOW 2017) (see Section 5.5.6).
5.5.4
Essential Fish Habitat Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the NMFS has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Project (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] undated).
5.5.5
Freshwater Mollusks, Crayfish, and Benthic Macroinvertebrates No information is available describing freshwater mollusks, crayfish, or benthic macroinvertebrates in Duck Creek. A review of NDOW records was requested which resulted in records of several benthic macroinvertebrate species as occurring within 5 miles of the Conceptual Project Boundary. These include: crestless column (Pupilla hebes), forest disc (Discus whitneyi), mitered vertigo (Vertigo concinnula), Rocky Mountain column (Pupilla blandi) Schell Creek mountainsnail (Oreohelix nevadensis), sily vallonia (Vallonia cyclophorella), spruce snail (Microphysula ingersolli), western glass snail (Vitrina pellucida), and Whitepine mountainsnail (Oreohelix sp.). None of these species have specific protections. This consultation is included in Appendix A.
5.5.6
Aquatic Invasive Species The Nevada Revised Statute (503.597) defines AIS as exotic or non-native species to the State of Nevada which the Board of Wildlife Commissioners has determined to be detrimental to aquatic life, water resources, or infrastructure for providing water (NDOW 2017). The Nevada AIS Management Plan Working Group developed a list of AIS and associated categorization for management prioritization (Table 5.5-1). Species that were determined as present in the State of Nevada (Types 2, 3, or 4) with related rankings are provided in Table 5.5-2. Most aquatic invasive fish species present in Nevada have control options available (Type 3) but have a high probability of ecological or economic impact. The only fish species established in Nevada with no control options

available is the Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio), however, this species is also designated with a “low” impact rank designation. Several mollusks and crustaceans are listed as AIS in the State of Nevada (Table 5.5-2). Only quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) are listed as both, a species established with no control options and as high impact.

Wildlife and Botanical Resources
5.6.1
Affected Environment The proposed Project is located in east-central White Pine County, approximately 8 miles northeast of Ely, Nevada (Figure 4.0-1). The Conceptual Project Boundary contains reservoirs, access roads, and other structures for the operation of a pumped storage facility. The average elevation of the proposed lower reservoir is approximately 6,500 feet above mean sea level. The average elevation of the proposed upper reservoir is approximately 8,500 feet above mean sea level. Lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are moderately to densely vegetated shrubscape with some woodlands (NRCS 2020). The habitat types and terrestrial species that occur, or are likely to occur, within the Project Vicinity are discussed in the sections below. For the purposes of wildlife and botanical resources and associated database queries, the Project Vicinity is defined as the Conceptual Project Boundary and a surrounding buffer of 1 to 5 miles, depending on resource.
5.6.1.1
Land Cover Types and Habitats The Project is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008). The USGS Gap Analysis Project (GAP) habitat map identified 14 habitat types within one mile of the Conceptual Project Boundary, of which 7 occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary (Figure 5.6-1) (USGS 2005). Table 5.6-1 lists each of these habitat types and their total acreage.

Wetlands, Riparian, and Littoral Habitats This section summarizes existing information regarding wetlands, riparian habitats, and other waters of the U.S. (WOUS) that may occur within the Project vicinity.
5.7.1
Affected Environment
5.7.1.1
Mapped Wetlands, Riparian, and Littoral Habitats Existing geospatial information was reviewed to identify and describe wetland, riparian, and littoral habitats that may occur within the Project vicinity. This data was supplemented with additional reviews of applicable reports, online resources, and other readily available resource materials. The primary information sources used for this analysis include: •
Wetlands, riparian habitats, and other WOUS from the USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) dataset (USFWS 2019). The NWI dataset represents the extent, approximate location, and type of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). NWI mapping is intended for use with base maps and digital aerial photography at a scale of 1:12,000 or smaller. Because of the scale, the primary intended use is for regional and watershed data display and analysis, rather than specific Project data analysis.
•
Intermittent and perennial surface water features from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (USGS 2019). The NHD represents the drainage network with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, dams, and stream gages for USGS topographic maps at a minimum 1:24,000 scale.
•
Floodplains and flood hazard zones from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Hazard Layer (FEMA 2020). This dataset represents the current effective flood data for the Conceptual Project Boundary and includes a compilation of the FEMA flood insurance rate map databases and letter of map changes; available mapping covers only portions of the Conceptual Project Boundary. Locations of floodplains can be useful in identifying potential wetland and riparian habitats.
Existing mapping from these sources indicate that the Project overlaps approximately 24.97 acres of potential wetland or riverine habitat, consisting of the aquatic resource types outlined in Table 5.7-1. No littoral habitat is mapped in the Project vicinity. Maps of wetland and riparian habitats existing for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project are presented in Appendix E.

5.7.2
Wetland and Riparian Vegetation Within the BLM, Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) area, which includes White Pine, Lincoln, and a portion of Nye counties, most of the water bodies are considered low-quality aquatic habitat due to the lack of persistent year-round stream flow, relatively high water temperatures, and limited riparian vegetation (BLM 2007). The Conceptual Project Boundary includes one type of palustrine wetland habitat and two riverine habitat types as classified by Cowardin (1979). Although specific vegetation surveys of the wetland and riparian habitats in the Project vicinity are not available, herbaceous wetlands in the BLM’s RMP area are characterized by sedges, rushes, and cattails, while woody riparian plants include narrow-leaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia), willows (Salix sp.), aspen (Populus sp.), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), water birch (Betula occidentalis), and dogwood (Cornus sp.) (BLM 2007).
5.7.2.1
Invasive Plants Invasive species are defined by the BLM’s Ely Field Office as “alien (nonnative) species whose introduction into an environment where they did not evolve does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health” (BLM 2007). Although there is no published information for the occurrence of terrestrial invasive species within the Conceptual Project Boundary, 16 species of invasive plants are known to occur in the Ely RMP area. The invasive species are listed in Table 5.7-2 below.

Wetland and Riparian Wildlife Specific wildlife surveys of the wetland and riparian habitats in the vicinity of the Project are not available. However, many of the wildlife species identified to occur in the vicinity of the Project typically use wetland or riparian habitats at some point in their lives. Many of the species discussed in Section 5.5 may utilize wetland and riparian habitat within the Conceptual Project Boundary or Project vicinity for permanent, temporary, or transient uses.

Threatened and Endangered Species and Other Protected Species
5.8.1
Known and Potentially-Present Threatened and Endangered Species For agency consultation purposes of threatened and endangered species and other protected species; the Project Vicinity is defined as the Conceptual Project Boundary with the addition of a 5-mile buffer. A list of Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed species potentially occurring within the Project Vicinity was prepared using the USFWS Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) website (USFWS 2020). The resulting list of species was refined using habitat requirements, professional experience, and USFWS occurrence maps. Based on this assessment, ESA-endangered or ESA-threatened species would not occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary. No designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed species occurs within the Conceptual Project Boundary. This consultation is included in Appendix A.
5.8.2
Bald and Golden Eagle Known as Potentially-Present Populations Bald and golden eagle presence in the Project Vicinity has been directly observed. The last activity for a nest in the Project Vicinity that was potentially that of a bald eagle is known from 2011 and documented by the NDOW (NDOW 2019). The last activity of a potential golden eagle nest in the Project Vicinity is also from 2011 (NDOW 2019). However, the Project Vicinity is outside the known nesting range of bald eagles (USFWS 2007).
5.8.3
Known State of Nevada Threatened and Endangered Species In addition to addressing the needs of ESA-listed species, the Nevada Natural Heritage Program (NNHP) database was reviewed for the status and distribution of state-listed threatened and endangered species with the potential to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary. All of these species are also considered BLM sensitive species (NNHP 2020). State-listed species that are expected to occur in White Pine County are listed in Table 5.8-1 below. It is not expected that any of the species listed in the table below occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary.

Known and Potentially-Present BLM Sensitive Species and NDCNR Sensitive Species The proposed Project occurs primarily on BLM-managed public lands. The BLM maintains a list of special status species for Nevada (BLM 2017). A list of all BLM sensitive species known to occur in White Pine County was downloaded from the NNHP (NNHP 2020). Wildlife species on this list were compared with species that were returned from the standard review of NDOW records (NDOW 2019). Those species that were found in NDOW records are analyzed to determine the potential for each species to occur within one mile of the Conceptual Project Boundary. The species that may potentially occur within one mile of the Conceptual Project Boundary are listed in Table 5.8-2.

Recreation Resources
5.9.1
Affected Environment Land use within the Conceptual Project Boundary includes primarily BLM-managed public lands. In the Project vicinity there is also U.S. Forest Land, state managed land, and private land around the City of Ely and the Town of McGill. The BLM Ely Ranger District Office is located in Ely, Nevada, and administers approximately 4.51 million acres of public land within White Pine County (BLM 2007). There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in the immediate vicinity of the Conceptual Project Boundary. However, White Pine County offers many recreation and tourism opportunities.
5.9.1.1
Primary Recreation Activities and Locations near Proposed Project The Conceptual Project Boundary is within the BLM Ely Field Office planning area and generally recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described in the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities. (BLM 2007). A list of recreation facilities in the Project vicinity are listed below in Table 5.9-1. These facilities are depicted on Figure 5.9-1.

The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers yearround outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual half-marathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). Ely is also home to a variety of cultural and artistic events, including an 11-block “Art Walk” with over 22 murals and sculptures throughout the downtown area. The Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark is also located in Ely and is acclaimed as the best-preserved and most original example of an American railroad facility and offers passenger trail rides pulled by century-old steam engines. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum holds hundreds of hands-on history events annually. The museum holds original railway locomotives, rolling stock, track, a passenger station, and buildings that served the historic copper mining region of Central Nevada for over a century. There are a number of rides available daily to the public that depart from the depot. Most trips head southwest, through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon up toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the hi-line toward McGill (Northern Nevada Railway undated). The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Conceptual Project Boundary. There are three parks in McGill, which include a swimming pool and playfields (McGill Nevada 2016). The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill and is described as “an old small-town drugstore frozen in time,” with private tours available upon request (McGill Drugstore Museum 2018).
5.9.1.2
Existing Recreational Facilities within Conceptual Project Boundary A portion of the Nevada Northern Railway currently runs through the Project’s lower reservoir as currently configured. With construction of the Project, portions of the track would require relocation. White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process.
5.9.1.3
Needs Identified in Nevada’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) The Nevada Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) (2016-2021) is intended to serve as an integrated, research-based plan to assist in the improvement and expansion of outdoor recreation opportunities in Nevada. A multi-step process, including a document survey, community workshop, and public opinion survey was used to establish a broad outline of outdoor recreation in Nevada and identify priorities to focus on in future years. Recreation participation rates are higher in Nevada than the overall nationwide rate. The 2016 SCORP identified eight top priorities related to outdoor recreation in Nevada including: (1) Maintain and Rehabilitate Existing Facilities, (2) Ensure Safety, (3) Increase Connectivity between Trails, Facilities, and other Recreation Locations, (4) Engage Youth, (5) Develop New Facilities, (6) Integrate with Economic Security and Growth, (7) Conserve Water and Habitat, and (8) Meet the Needs of Underserved Regions and Populations.

The priorities listed above are intended to serve as broad goals, with specific strategies and actions for accomplishing them coming from grant applications, outdoor advocates, and other citizens who recognize their stake in Nevada’s outdoor future (NDSP 2016).
5.9.1.4
Specially Designated Lands within Conceptual Project Boundary There are no specially designated lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary.
5.9.1.5
Specially Designated Recreation Areas Nationwide Rivers Inventory No portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary will be located on or in the vicinity of rivers included within the Nationwide Rivers Inventory (National Park Service [NPS] undated).
Scenic Byways No portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary will be located in the vicinity of any of America’s Byways designated by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation (U.S. Department of Transportation undated).
National Trails System and Wilderness Areas No portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary will be located within the National Trails System or within any designated Wilderness Area. The Conceptual Project Boundary is located south of Schell Creek Station, which is located along the Pony Express National Historic Trail (NPS 2020). Although it was only in operation from April 1860 to October 1861, the trail was used to transport mail from Missouri to California.
Wild and Scenic rivers No portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary will be located on an area designated as part of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers system (National Wild and Scenic Rivers System undated).
5.9.1.6
Nationally Significant Recreation Areas Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is the largest national forest in the contiguous United States and spans over 6.3 million acres (USDA Forest Service undated-e). The forest is comprised of numerous non-contiguous sections scattered across most of the State of Nevada and a portion of eastern California. A portion of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is located approximately one mile east of the proposed Project access road and encompasses the High Schells Wilderness, as mentioned in Section 5.9.1.5 above. The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest has multiple campgrounds and picnic

Cultural and Tribal Resources In considering an original license for the Project, FERC has the lead responsibility for compliance with applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to historic properties, including the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable opportunity to comment. The regulations implementing Section 106 (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 800) define the process for identifying historic properties, assessing effects, and seeking ways to resolve adverse effects on historic properties in consultation with the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (NSHPO), federally recognized Indian tribes, the public, and other appropriate parties.
5.10.1
Area of Potential Effect The Project Area of Potential Effects (APE) is the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historic properties, if such properties exist (36 CFR Part 800.16[d]). The APE is influenced by the scale and nature of the undertaking and may be different for different kinds of effects caused by the undertaking. As the lead federal agency responsible for Section 106 compliance, FERC will define the APE in consultation with the NSHPO, Native American Tribes with interests in the Project, and other consulting parties, as appropriate. Typically, the APE for direct effects to historic properties would include the Project footprint, including all areas where ground-disturbing activities would take place. The APE for indirect effects, such as changes to visual, auditory, and seismic settings, would be a buffer beyond the direct APE. The extent of the indirect-effects APE would depend on the design of the Project and types of historic properties present in the area.
5.10.2
Known and Potential Cultural and Archaeological Resources In March 2020, a records search was conducted using Nevada Cultural Resource Office’s online database, Nevada Cultural Resources Information System (NCRIS), to determine the presence of any known archaeological sites and projects within the Conceptual Project Boundary, an area which will be included in the APE during NHPA Section 106 consultation. In addition to the NCRIS records, General Land Office (GLO) Plat Maps and other historic maps were reviewed to gain an understanding of historic period uses of the area and to identify potential historic sites that have not been previously recorded. The data received from NCRIS consists of a total of five compliance-related archaeological surveys conducted in the Conceptual Project Boundary (Table 5.10-1). The Project area involves 974 acres, of which 400 acres have not been previously surveyed. While 59 percent of the Project area has been previously surveyed, all of these surveys were conducted 35 or more years ago and, therefore, do not meet current NSHPO guidelines. Previous investigations included both block and linear surveys. The linear surveys were

The Nevada Northern Railroad was constructed in 1905 and 1906 to link copper mines to smelters in Ely and to the national railroad infrastructure (Nevada Northern Railway Museum 2006). The segments of the railroad within the Conceptual Project Boundary have not yet been evaluated, but the railyard and shops of the Nevada Northern Railway in nearby Ely, Nevada (approximately 5 miles to the south of the Project area) was designated a National Historic Landmark on Sept 27, 2006, and is listed on the National

Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (Nevada Northern Railway Museum 2006, NSHPO 2018). It is operated by the City of Ely and the White Pine Historical Foundation as a heritage museum and the tracks and rolling stock are part of the museum. The McGill Depot of the Nevada Northern Railway (approximately 3 miles north of the Project area) was listed on the NRHP in 2015 (NSHPO 2018). With construction of the Project, portions of the track would require relocation under the current Project configuration. White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process. A portion of US Route 30 (The Lincoln Highway) is located forty meters west of the Project area. This roadway was constructed in 1913 and extends north from Ely to McGill (Federal Highway Administration [FHWA] 2017a). The Lincoln Highway represents one of the first efforts to create a coast-to-coast highway, and was instrumental to the development of the nation’s automobile infrastructure (FHWA 2017a). The segment of the Lincoln Highway between Ely and McGill was incorporated into US 93 (The Great Basin Highway) constructed in 1926 (FHWA 2017b). US 93 was an early example of the consolidation of individually sponsored and constructed highways (e.g., Lincoln Highway) under a uniform system of naming and maintaining interstate highways (FHWA 2017b). This portion of US 93 is still in use. In addition to these resources, an unnamed road and an unnamed electrical transmission line are depicted on the 1957 GLO map within the Conceptual Project Boundary (Figure 5.10-3).

No cultural resources have previously been identified within the Conceptual Project Boundary, but a substantial portion of the Project area (41 percent) has never been surveyed for cultural resources. Additionally, the majority of the previous surveys took place over 35 years ago and, therefore, none of them meet current NSHPO cultural resource survey standards. It is expected that cultural resource surveys will be needed as part of the Draft and Final License Applications for the Project. Historic GLO and USGS topographic maps depict historical railroad, road, and transmission line segments within the Conceptual Project Boundary that should be recorded and evaluated for their eligibility for listing in the NRHP. These efforts will be incorporated into the cultural resource evaluations presented in the draft and final license applications for the Project.

Socioeconomic Resources
5.11.1
Existing Socioeconomic Conditions The proposed Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service, support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase their ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirements homes (White Pine County 2012).
5.11.1.1 Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010).The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475. The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages.
5.11.1.2 Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010).
5.11.1.3 Income and Poverty From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2010).

From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8%), Office and Administrative Support (12.9%), and Construction and Extraction (10.3%). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3%), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2%), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56%) (DataUSA 2019). Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (State of Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community.

Aesthetic and Visual Resources The BLM is responsible for managing public lands for multiple use and ensuring scenic values of public lands are considered before authorizing uses that may have negative visual impacts. The BLM uses the Visual Resource Management (VRM) system to inventory scenic values through different categories to establish management objectives. The VRM system is a tool for the BLM to objectively measure the scenic value of the visual resources in an area (BLM undated). The BLM designates VRM classes for all areas of BLM-administered lands to manage public lands in a manner which will protect the quality of the scenic and visual value of the land. The VRM classes are based on an inventory of three key elements: 1) scenic quality, 2) sensitivity level, and 3) distance zones (BLM 1984). There are four objectives for VRM classes (Classes I through IV), with Class I being the most conservative of the visual resources (BLM 1986) as seen in Table 5.12-1.
Table 5.12-1. BLM VRM Classes Objective
Description
Class I
Preserve the existing character of the landscape. This class provides for natural ecological changes; however it does not preclude very limited management activity. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be very low and must not attract attention.
Class II
Retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low, with management activities seen but not attracted by the casual observer. Any changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape.
Class III
Provide for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. The level of change should be moderate, management activities may attract attention but should not dominate the view. Changes should repeat basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape.
Class IV
Provide for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. The level of change can be high with management activities allowed to dominate the view and be the major focus. However, attempts should be made to minimize the impact of these activities through careful location, minimal disturbance and repeating the basic elements.

5.12.1
Affected Environment The Project is located in the Steptoe Valley approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in a setting that is characteristic of Nevada’s topography. The surrounding areas consist of flat valleys, rolling foothills, and pyramidal mountains allowing the user a wide and far range of views. The surrounding areas are generally undisturbed except for minor

infrastructure such as power lines, paved and dirt roads, ranch land, and the City of Ely and the Town of Ruth (BLM 2016). However, the south end of the valley where the proposed Project will be located contains the most development (BLM 2008). The goal of the Ely District RMP is to manage public lands and activities in a manner consistent with the BLM Ely District Office visual resource management class objectives. The objective of the RMP is to implement multiple use activities within the planning area with mitigation measures consistent with the visual resource management classes. The Conceptual Project Boundary property is generally managed by the BLM. The majority of land is classified as Class II (517 acres) followed by Class III (395 acres) and a small portion of Class IV (5 acres). There are no VRM Class I lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary (BLM undated). Consultation with the BLM will be performed to mitigate any disturbance to the visual resources within and around the Project vicinity.

Potential Resource Effects and List of Studies The primary purpose of the PAD is to identify environmental resources that may be affected by the Project and to inform the development of proposed studies to assess the scope of potential Project impacts. The information developed as part of the study process will inform the development of the Project’s license application, including any mitigation measures. Table 6.0-1 presents potential resource effects and studies by resource area. Studies presented below are limited to the proposed Conceptual Project Boundary.
Table 6.0-1. Resource Areas, Potential Resource Effects, and Potential Studies Resource Area
Potential Resource Effects
Potential Study Needs
Geology and Soils
Construction and operation of the Project could result in erosion, sedimentation, or other effects related to geology and soils.
White Pine believes existing information is adequate to assess potential Project effects on Geology and Soils, and no specific studies are proposed. White Pine intends to adhere to construction best management practices to mitigate any potential Project impacts to geology and soils.
Water Resources
The Project will require fill of a reservoir as well as make-up water, both provided by groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County in the Steptoe Valley area.
White Pine will assess potential Project effects on water resources in the License Application. In prior studies, groundwater recharge in the Project vicinity (Steptoe Valley) was found to have the highest annual groundwater recharge and one of the highest annual discharges when compared to 12 other hydrographic areas in White Pine County. Effects on groundwater resources are expected to be negligible.
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
Initial fill water will be provided by groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County in the Steptoe Valley Area. Additionally, Duck Creek may be utilized as a temporary water source during the construction process.
White Pine does not anticipate Project effects on fisheries and aquatic resources or the need to conduct studies on these resources.

Potential Resource Effects
Potential Study Needs
Construction and operation of the Project could affect terrestrial resources in the Conceptual Project Boundary.
White Pine proposes a Botanical Resources Study (including surveys of noxious weeds and rare, threatened, and endangered [RTE] plants) of the Conceptual Project Boundary to inform preconstruction terrestrial resources conditions. Additionally, White Pine proposes a Wildlife Habitat Assessment. This assessment will include a cover type mapping field portion that will inform the assessment of wildlife habitat within the Conceptual Project Boundary.
Wetland and Riparian Habitats
Construction and operation of the Project could potentially affect wetland and riparian resources in the Conceptual Project Boundary.
White Pine proposes a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A draft study plan is included in Appendix F for this study.
Threatened and Endangered Species and Other Protected Species
Construction of the Project could potentially affect ESAlisted or other special-status species. Based on consultation, there are no ESA-endangered or ESA-threatened species occurring within the Conceptual Project Boundary. Additionally, no designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed species occurs within the Conceptual Project Boundary.
White Pine proposes to conduct a Desktop Assessment of RTE species. White Pine will consult with both the federal and state agencies to identify RTE species expected to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary and identify and potential effects and any necessary protection and mitigation measures.
Based on consultation, no statelisted threatened and endangered species are expected to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary. There are 17 potentially-present BLM Sensitive Species and NDCNR Sensitive Species

(including plants, mammals, reptiles, and birds) likely to occur within 1 mile of the Conceptual Project Boundary. Recreation Resources
Recreation within the Conceptual Project Boundary is limited. The Project is within the BLM Ely Field Office planning area and Project vicinity recreation use includes offhighway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan includes the recreation objective to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Construction of the Project may impact recreation in the immediate vicinity.
White Pine proposes to conduct a Desktop Recreational Study in consultation with interested stakeholders to identify recreational needs and potential impacts, including impacts to wildlife-related recreation as a result of the Project.
Cultural Resources
Construction of the Project could result in impacts to historic properties and archaeological sites.
White Pine proposes a Cultural Resources Study that will include consultation with the SHPO and interested Native American Tribes.
Socioeconomic Resources
The Project would provide a substantial, multi-year source of construction and related jobs and purchases of services and materials in the Project vicinity. Project construction activities also have the potential to temporarily disrupt or modify local infrastructure, patterns, or routines.
White Pine believes existing information is adequate to assess this resource area and, therefore, is not proposing any studies specific to socioeconomic resources.
Aesthetic Resources
The majority of the land within the Conceptual Project Boundary is classified as Class II (517 acres) followed by Class III (395 acres) and a small portion of Class IV (5 acres).
White Pine proposes an Aesthetic and Visual Resources Study which will include visual simulations modeling what the Project will look like postconstruction. A draft study plan

Dear Potential Stakeholders: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine), licensee for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, is gathering information in support of a PreApplication Document (PAD) and upcoming Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing of the Project. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would entail the construction of a new 750 megawatt (MW) closed-loop pumped storage facility, comprised of two new artificial reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits, along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. Please refer to the attached map. In an effort to submit a comprehensive PAD that will aid in the licensing process, White Pine is asking if you or your organization are aware of any existing, relevant, and reasonably available information that describes the existing environment within the vicinity of the Project. In particular, White Pine is interested in information related to the following specific resources:
Geology and soils Water resources Fish and aquatic resources Wildlife and botanical resources Wetlands, riparian, and littoral habitats Aesthetic resources
Rare, threatened, and endangered species Recreation and land use Cultural resources Socio-economic resources Tribal resources
Additionally, prior to filing and distributing the PAD, it is the responsibility of White Pine to select one of FERC’s three licensing processes in support of the licensing effort. For the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, White Pine has decided to pursue use of the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP), because it provides process flexibility that is supportive of a collaborative approach to licensing and the assessment of potential resource issues. White Pine believes that the White Pine Pumped Storage Project favorably meets FERC’s six considerations for use of the TLP, each of which will be described in detail in the White Pine formal TLP request to FERC:
Likelihood of Timely License Issuance Complexity of Resource Issues Anticipated Level of Controversy Relative Cost of the Traditional Process Compared to the Integrated Process The Amount of Available Information and Potential for Significant Disputes over Studies Other factors Believed to be Pertinent

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern: The attached species list indicates threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species and designated or proposed critical habitat that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), for projects that are authorized, funded, or carried out by a Federal agency. Candidate species have no protection under the ESA but are included for consideration because they could be listed prior to the completion of your project. Consideration of these species during project planning may assist species conservation efforts and may prevent the need for future listing actions. For additional information regarding species that may be found in the proposed project area, visit http://www.fws.gov/nevada/es/ipac.html. The purpose of the ESA is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the ESA and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or

designated or proposed critical habitat. Guidelines for preparing a Biological Assessment can be found at: http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/section7/ba_guide.html. If a Federal action agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this species list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally listed, proposed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally, as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation, for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the attached list. The Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (NFWO) no longer provides species of concern lists. Most of these species for which we have concern are also on the Animal and Plant At-Risk Tracking List for Nevada (At-Risk list) maintained by the State of Nevada's Natural Heritage Program (Heritage). Instead of maintaining our own list, we adopted Heritage's At-Risk list and are partnering with them to provide distribution data and information on the conservation needs for at-risk species to agencies or project proponents. The mission of Heritage is to continually evaluate the conservation priorities of native plants, animals, and their habitats, particularly those most vulnerable to extinction or in serious decline. In addition, in order to avoid future conflicts, we ask that you consider these at-risk species early in your project planning and explore management alternatives that provide for their long-term conservation. For a list of at-risk species by county, visit Heritage's website (http://heritage.nv.gov). For a specific list of at-risk species that may occur in the project area, you can obtain a data request form from the website (http://heritage.nv.gov/get_data) or by contacting the Administrator of Heritage at 901 South Stewart Street, Suite 5002, Carson City, Nevada 89701-5245, (775) 684-2900. Please indicate on the form that your request is being obtained as part of your coordination with the Service under the ESA. During your project analysis, if you obtain new information or data for any Nevada sensitive species, we request that you provide the information to Heritage at the above address.

Furthermore, certain species of fish and wildlife are classified as protected by the State of Nevada (http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NAC/NAC-503.html). You must first obtain the appropriate license, permit, or written authorization from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to take, or possess any parts of protected fish and wildlife species. Please visit http://www.ndow.org or contact NDOW in northern Nevada (775) 688-1500, in southern Nevada (702) 486-5127, or in eastern Nevada (775) 777-2300. Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the Service's wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. The Service's Pacific Southwest Region developed the Interim Guidelines for the Development of a Project Specific Avian and Bat Protection Plan for Wind Energy Facilities (Interim Guidelines). This document provides energy facility developers with a tool for assessing the risk of potential impacts to wildlife resources and delineates how best to design and operate a birdand bat-friendly wind facility. These Interim Guidelines are available upon request from the NFWO. The intent of a Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy is to conserve wildlife resources while supporting project developers through: (1) establishing project development in an adaptive management framework; (2) identifying proper siting and project design strategies; (3) designing and implementing pre-construction surveys; (4) implementing appropriate conservation measures for each development phase; (5) designing and implementing appropriate post-construction monitoring strategies; (6) using post-construction studies to better understand the dynamics of mortality reduction (e.g., changes in blade cut-in speed, assessments of blade ²feathering³ success, and studies on the effects of visual and acoustic deterrents) including efforts tied into Before-After/Control-Impact analysis; and (7) conducting a thorough risk assessment and validation leading to adjustments in management and mitigation actions. The template and recommendations set forth in the Interim Guidelines were based upon the Avian Powerline Interaction Committee's Avian Protection Plan template (http://www.aplic.org/) developed for electric utilities and modified accordingly to address the unique concerns of wind energy facilities. These recommendations are also consistent with the Service's wind energy guidelines. We recommend contacting us as early as possible in the planning process to discuss the need and process for developing a site-specific Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy. The Service has also developed guidance regarding wind power development in relation to prairie grouse leks (sage-grouse are included in this). This document can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/southwest/es/Oklahoma/documents/te_species/wind%20power/ prairie%20grouse%20lek%205%20mile%20public.pdf. Migratory Birds are a Service Trust Resource. Based on the Service's conservation responsibilities and management authority for migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), we recommend that any land clearing or other surface disturbance associated with proposed actions within the project area be timed to

avoid potential destruction of bird nests or young, or birds that breed in the area. Such destruction may be in violation of the MBTA. Under the MBTA, nests with eggs or young of migratory birds may not be harmed, nor may migratory birds be killed. Therefore, we recommend land clearing be conducted outside the avian breeding season. If this is not feasible, we recommend a qualified biologist survey the area prior to land clearing. If nests are located, or if other evidence of nesting (i.e., mated pairs, territorial defense, carrying nesting material, transporting food) is observed, a protective buffer (the size depending on the habitat requirements of the species) should be delineated and the entire area avoided to prevent destruction or disturbance to nests until they are no longer active. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects involving communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html. If wetlands, springs, or streams are are known to occur in the project area or are present in the vicinity of the project area, we ask that you be aware of potential impacts project activities may have on these habitats. Discharge of fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States is regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended. We recommend you contact the ACOE's Regulatory Section regarding the possible need for a permit. For projects located in northern Nevada (Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey, and Washoe Counties) contact the Reno Regulatory Office at 300 Booth Street, Room 3060, Reno, Nevada 89509, (775) 784-5304; in southern Nevada (Clark, Lincoln, Nye, and White Pine Counties) contact the St. George Regulatory Office at 321 North Mall Drive, Suite L-101, St. George, Utah 84790-7314, (435) 986-3979; or in California along the eastern Sierra contact the Sacramento Regulatory Office at 650 Capitol Mall, Suite 5-200, Sacramento, California 95814, (916) 557-5250. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office. The table below outlines lead FWS field offices by county and land ownership/project type.

Endangered Species Act Species There is a total of 0 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries1, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce. See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction.

Migratory Birds Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act1 and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act2. Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below. 1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. 2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. 3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a) The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below. For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project area.

Probability Of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ ²Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report³ before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee

was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort ( ) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data ( ) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.

For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ ²What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location³. Please be aware this report provides the ²probability of presence³ of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the ²no data³ indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ ²Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds³ at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Re: White Pines Dear Ian Cain: I am responding to your request for information from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) on the known or potential occurrence of wildlife resources in the vicinity of the White Pines located in White Pine County, Nevada. In order to fulfill your request an analysis was performed using the best available data from the NDOW’s wildlife occurrences, raptor nest sites and ranges, greater sage-grouse leks and habitat, and big game distributions databases. No warranty is made by the NDOW as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the data for individual use or aggregate use with other data. These data should be considered sensitive and may contain information regarding the location of sensitive wildlife species or resources. All appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that the use of this data is strictly limited to serve the needs of the project described on your GIS Data Request Form. Abuse of this information has the potential to adversely affect the existing ecological status of Nevada’s wildlife resources and could be cause for the denial of future data requests. To adequately provide wildlife resource information in the vicinity of the proposed project the NDOW delineated an area of interest that included a four-mile buffer around the project area provided by you on Wednesday, December 18, 2019. Wildlife resource data was queried from the NDOW databases based on this area of interest. The results of this analysis are summarized below. Big Game - Occupied elk and mule deer distributions exist within portions of the project area and fourmile buffer area. No known occupied bighorn sheep or pronghorn antelope distributions exist in the vicinity of the project area. Please refer to the attached maps for details regarding big game distributions relative to the proposed project area. Greater Sage-Grouse - Greater sage-grouse habitat in the vicinity of the project area has primarily been classified as General habitat by the Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Program (http://sagebrusheco.nv.gov). Priority and Other habitat also exists in the vicinity of the project area. Please refer to the attached map for details regarding greater sage-grouse habitat relative to the proposed project area. Greater sage-grouse activity in the vicinity of the project area has been documented by 105 tracking locations generated by at least six radio-marked birds in the vicinity of the project area. There are three known greater sage-grouse lek sites in the vicinity of the project area: Lek Name Canyon Spring NE Gilford Meadow McGill Junction

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan May 15, 2020
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water to initially fill the reservoir system and required make-up water for evaporation losses will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County from well sites north of the Town of McGill. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study for the Project that would be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in October 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals The goal of this Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study (Study) is to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities and identify consistency with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions and with other relevant guidance as determined through consultation. The goals of this study are to: Conduct an aesthetics inventory of proposed Project facility locations, including taking photographs from key viewing locations, and developing photosimulation of proposed Project facilities. Present information on whether each proposed facility is consistent with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions. For facilities that are not consistent, determine what modifications, potentially including relocation, would be necessary to make the facilities consistent. Assess the feasibility of identified potential modifications.

3.0 Summary of Existing Information The Conceptual Project Boundary property is generally managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM designates Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes for all areas of BLM-administered lands to manage public lands in a manner which will protect the quality of the scenic and visual value of the land. The majority of land is classified as Class II (517 acres) followed by Class III (395 acres) and a small portion of Class IV (5 acres) (BLM undated). Lands potentially affected by Project construction, operation, and maintenance are largely undeveloped. No formal studies documenting existing aesthetic or visual resource conditions are known to exist.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The Study will be conducted in phases and be completed as Project design decisions proceed. During 2020, the Study Area will include lands and construction areas in the vicinity of the Project reservoirs. Transmission corridors and access roads will be incorporated into the study during 2021, or as their final location specifications are developed.
4.2
Study Methods
A visual assessment study will be conducted consisting of seven tasks: 1. Identification of representative and critical key viewing locations. 2. An aesthetics inventory of locations where Project facilities may be constructed, including digital photographs from key viewing locations. 3. Photosimulation of proposed Project facilities as viewed from key viewing locations. 4. Information on whether each facility is consistent with relevant agency scenic goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions. 5. Information on whether proposed facilities are consistent with other identified relevant scenic goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions. 6. For facilities that are not consistent, determination of modifications necessary to make the facilities consistent. 7. An assessment of the feasibility of identified potential modifications.
4.2.1
Identification of Key Viewing Locations
White Pine will conduct a viewshed analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment based on location and height of proposed Project facilities. The Key Observation Point (KOP) development process will be used to determine where potential visual impact locations will be considered for photosimulation. Photographs will be taken at each KOP to support assessment of the potential visual impact. Steps to determine the KOP locations will consist of: Choose locations with potential for visual impact (e.g., recreation trail, road, houses). This is usually along commonly traveled routes or at other likely observation points. Page 2

Conduct preliminary line-of-sight and viewshed analysis in GIS. o
Conduct traditional “visibility analysis” GIS approach using site topography in ESRI ArcGIS extension Spatial Analyst and/or ESRI 3D Analyst to do the following:
Establish baseline conditions for visibility using binary (visible/not visible) technique;
Qualify or disqualify potential visual receptor locations; and
Cross-validate 2D photosimulations, 3D models, animations, or other deliverables that are by-product derivatives of the analysis.
Additionally, White Pine will consult with stakeholders to identify representative and critical viewing locations.
4.2.2
Project Facilities Inventory
White Pine will conduct a digital photographic inventory of all proposed Project facility locations visible from KOPs. The physical characteristics of proposed Project facilities (including lighting and distance from key viewing areas) will be described in narrative. The field work to collect facilities inventory data will entail qualified personnel operating Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to take photographs at each location. GPS location points will be recorded for each simulation viewpoint, preferably using a GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy, but at least 3-meter accuracy, to ensure repeatability. Multiple site photographs will be collected at each location using a tripod. Site photographs to be used in assessment will be correlated with x, y, z coordinates and heading angle. For each inventory point, the following information will be collected: GPS – accuracy for photosimulations should be within 3 feet (+or- 1 meter horizontal). o

Photosimulation
The general procedure for creation of a photosimulation involves compositing a scale, geo-referenced model of existing and proposed conditions with a photograph. The camera data collected in the field is entered into software (e.g., 3d Studio Max, a product widely used for architectural visualization) that digitally replicates the three-dimensional world at full scale. The computer simulation can vary in detail from a highly detailed architectural model of the project to a simple massing study lacking detail but representing the volume and dimensions of the project. Projects seen at a moderate distance, for instance, can be successfully simulated using a massing study because details cannot be discerned at a substantial distance. A closer view would justify a more-detailed simulation. Confirmation of scale Page 3

and position of the computer rendering is often accomplished by installing marker poles on site at points correlating with the project plan to provide registration points. The preliminary computer image will simulate the project and poles, and the image will be positioned and scaled until the simulated poles overlay exactly those appearing in the underlying base photograph. GIS-based aerial photographs and topographic mapping is typically used to confirm locations. Use of a GIS spatial model combined with the GPS locations of each photograph provide a representation of the existing conditions to use as a base in the photosimulations. During the development of the GIS Spatial Model, the following metadata will be documented: Source of the data; Date the data was generated and date the data was downloaded; Coordinate system of the data and the project; Known limitations of the topographic data; Process steps; Derivatives from the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) if any; Lineage of each input and process; and Elevation conversions. Once the GIS Spatial Model is finalized, data from GIS will be exported to the appropriate file formats required to import the model into the preferred 3D software. Gather the following engineering design data and ensure that the data is to scale and in the local project coordinate system. CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the existing study area; CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the proposed design; GIS files exported from the spatial model; and KOP Photographs with camera data. Once imported into the 3D software, check that the imported data matches how it was represented in the originating software. For example, check the topography to ensure that the elevations are accurate and the scale of the aerial imagery. Next, begin setting up the 3D cameras at each location, accounting for the height of the tripod above ground. With the appropriate camera settings (focal length, film gate) loaded into each 3D camera, begin to align the camera to the photograph using existing data (CAD and/or GIS) to aid in the alignment. Once aligned and the appropriate lighting system is setup for the environment conditions, the render process of the proposed data out of V-Ray can begin, which will turn the proposed model into an image. The rendered image will then be overlaid on top of the photograph from the view location in PhotoShop or an equivalent photo-editing software. Inside of PhotoShop, the existing image will be modified and split into layers to allow the rendered image to be placed behind foreground elements and behind background elements.

4.2.4
Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities
White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing. White Pine will describe the impacts to the existing visual quality by analyzing and explaining if changes to the visual resources of the natural environments are compatible or incompatible with existing visual resources by land type. On BLM land, White Pine will analyze if the existing visual condition is compatible with the Scenic Integrity Objectives (i.e., high, moderate, low, or very low) for the area. White Pine will determine the degree of impact and whether the impact is adverse, beneficial, or neutral. On BLM lands, White Pine will determine the scenic integrity level using the scenic integrity scale (i.e., very high, high, moderate, low, very low, and unacceptably low). White Pine will also identify any potential modifications to the Project facilities to comply with existing visual setting and direction.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables Following 2020 study efforts, an interim report will be prepared to present Project facility descriptions and photographs; a table discussing Project facility consistency with relevant agency aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions; potential modifications to proposed Project facilities; and the feasibility of any potential modifications. A final report will be developed following the completion of 2021 efforts. The results of this inventory may be used to guide development of visual resource protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Draft Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study Plan May 15, 2020
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely.

This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study for the Project that would be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in October 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals This document presents White Pine’s proposed Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study that is designed to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USACE regulates discharges of fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS) under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A consideration for constructing the Project is the presence of WOUS, including wetlands. By federal law and associated policy, it is necessary to first avoid project impacts on these resources wherever practicable, minimize impacts that cannot be avoided and, in some cases, compensate for unavoidable impacts. WOUS, wetlands, and uplands (non-jurisdictional), as referenced in this study plan, are defined as follows:
WOUS: The Clean Water Act (CWA) defines WOUS as “surface waters, including streams, streambeds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, arroyos, washes, and other ephemeral watercourses and wetlands” [33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 328.3(a)]. The jurisdictional limits of WOUS include: o o o
In the absence of adjacent wetlands, CWA jurisdiction extends to the ordinary high water mark (OHWM); or When adjacent wetlands are present, jurisdiction extends beyond the OHWM to the limits of the adjacent wetlands; and When WOUS consist only of wetlands, jurisdiction extends to the limits of the wetlands.

Filed Date: 05/15/2020 White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Draft Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study Plan
Wetlands: Wetlands are a subset of WOUS. The CWA defines wetlands as “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions” [33 CFR Part 328.3(b)]. Note that according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 1987, 2008a), wetlands must possess the following three characteristics: (1) a vegetation community dominated by plant species that are typically adapted for life in saturated soils, (2) inundation or saturation of the soil during the growing season and (3) soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions.
Uplands: Non-water and non-wetland areas are called uplands.
The overall goal of this study is to prepare a baseline map of potential WOUS in the study area. This mapping information eventually will be used in White Pine’s license application and 404 permitting materials to assist in the assessment of potential impacts to WOUS from the proposed Project, and to develop protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures, as appropriate. This multi-year study is being initiated in 2020 and will be continued in 2021. Results from the first year of work in 2020 will be used to update future versions of this study plan, as needed, to (1) finetune the field investigations and mapping efforts for the existing conditions found in the study area, and (2) continue mapping work to include transmission corridors and/or refinements in the design of the Project.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information can be found in the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For the PAD, existing geospatial information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Federal Emergency Management Agency was reviewed to identify and describe WOUS, including wetlands, surface water, and drainages. These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in impacts to potential WOUS. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of aerial photographs and other available data suggests that the potential WOUS mapped within the Conceptual Project Boundary consist of approximately 24.97 acres of potential wetland or riverine habitat, such as seasonally saturated emergent wetland, temporarily flooded riverine, or intermittently flooded riverine habitats.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The 2020 jurisdictional waters study area will consist of the Conceptual Project Boundary. The 2021 field study season will be used if any modifications to the Conceptual Project Boundary are made.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Planning, Field Work, Mapping, and Reports.

Task 1 - Planning White Pine will review existing information to identify focus areas for field confirmation and confer with the USACE regarding field work locations and on-site review of field work by USACE staff. White Pine’s planning efforts will prepare for field data collection, including measurements of the width, depth, flow direction, channel slope, substrate, estimation of flow frequency, and photographs looking upstream, downstream, and across the channel for a representative sampling of potential WOUS within the study area. Additionally, the planning task includes field work preparations such as logistics, safety planning, quality control (QC) planning, mobilizing equipment, creating field maps, and installing data on handheld field computers.
Task 2 – Field Work The goal of the field program is to collect sufficient data to be able to map potential WOUS across the study area. A field team of two wetland scientists will use hand held Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled computers to locate the proposed Project facilities and to field verify the existing mapping. Boundaries of WOUS will be determined using methods described in the 2008 Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (USACE 2008b). The OHWM is defined as “the line on the shore established by fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of the soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, or the presence of litter and debris” [33 CFR Part 328.3]. Soil and geomorphic indicators present below, at, or above the OHWM will be investigated across the study area and marked on aerial photography field maps. Field teams will also collect additional data in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 1987, 2008a) in locations that exhibit wetland characteristics, as necessary. Scientists may also collect additional data in areas that are difficult to interpret from aerial imagery. The field team will collect approximately 10 data points per day, continuing to sample areas until the study area can be mapped by photo-interpretation. Upland areas will also be sampled to document these areas as non-jurisdictional. Data collection points will include photographs of indicators of OHWM, vegetation, soils, and hydrology parameters; National Wetlands Inventory codes (NWI), and notes on the presence or absence of wetlands indicators to support a wetland determination sites will also be collected, as necessary.
Task 3 - Mapping GPS locations of field-visited sites will be overlaid on the aerial photography in GIS to identify the limits of the WOUS and the presence of wetlands in the study area. Aerial photography signatures from these field-visited sites will then extrapolated to similar locations throughout the study area and boundaries digitized into GIS. Boundaries of WOUS will be digitized onto aerial photography in GIS using the field maps, field investigation notes, and an on-screen review of recent and historical aerial photography. Wetlands, open water, and unvegetated areas with mud cracks, scour marks, sediment deposits, and cobble bars situated below the OHWM will be classified as potential WOUS. The mapping will be reviewed for Quality Control (QC), revised, and incorporated into a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Report.

Task 4 – Report The results of the field work and the mapping will be summarized in a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Report. This Report will identify locations within the study area that may be subject to the jurisdiction of the USACE under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Report will follow the requirements for content using published guidelines for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations from the USACE Regulatory Division.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine will prepare a draft Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Report describing WOUS identified in the field, determine their approximate size and character, and render an opinion as to whether any WOUS would be considered jurisdictional.

Project No. 14851-001 – Nevada White Pine Pumped Storage Project White Pine Waterpower, LLC VIA Electronic Mail Mr. Matthew Shapiro Chief Executive Officer White Pine Waterpower, LLC mshapiro@gridflexenergy.com Reference: Authorization to Use the Traditional Licensing Process Dear Mr. Shapiro: In a letter filed on May 15, 2020, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) requested to use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) in preparing a license application for the proposed 1,000-megawatt White Pine Pumped Storage Project, to be located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada. On the same date, White Pine filed a notice of intent and pre-application document (PAD) for the project. The project is partially located on federal land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). On July 9, 2020, White Pine filed documentation with the Commission showing that it published a notice of the request to use the TLP in the May 15, 2020 edition of the Ely Times. White Pine’s notice contained the information required in section 5.3(d)(2) of the Commission’s regulations, including a statement requesting that comments on the request to use the TLP be filed with the Commission within 30 days of the request to use the TLP, by June 14, 2020. No comments were filed request. Information in the PAD indicates that the complexity of the resource issues is likely to be low, the level of anticipated controversy and disputes over studies is expected to be minimal, and there is a reasonable amount of available information regarding resources associated with the project. Therefore, I am granting White Pine’s request to use the TLP.

The Commission’s licensing process is an opportunity for both the applicant and interested agencies, tribes, and other stakeholders to consider the proposed project, and the need for protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures that may need to be implemented over the term of any license issued for the project. The 1,000-megawatt (MW) White Pine Project would be located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada. As proposed, the project would occupy approximately 917 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. White Pine Waterpower, LLC has requested to use the Commission’s Traditional Licensing Process to license the project. A Notice of Intent and Pre-Application Document were filed with the Commission on May 15, 2020. The proposed project would consist of: (1) a new 58-acre, at normal maximum operating water level (NMWL), upper reservoir impounded by a 175-foot-tall, 1,170foot-long lined rockfill dam; (2) a new 80-acre, at NMWL, lower reservoir impounded by a 130-foot-tall, 5,200-foot-long lined rockfill dam; (3) a water conveyance system consisting of: (a) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,000-foot-long, concrete-lined vertical shaft, (b) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,500-foot-long, concrete-lined horizontal high-pressure headrace tunnel, (c) three, 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined penstocks, (d) three, 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined draft tube tunnels, and (e) a 23-foot-diameter, concrete-lined tailrace tunnel;

White Pine Waterpower, LLC responses to questions submitted by Donna Bath at the Joint Agency Meeting for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, September 1, 2020, Ely, NV 1. Where are the locations/communities of other similar, successful projects Gridflex has built. No large pumped storage projects have been built in the United States since 1993, and all 40 of the US projects in operation today were developed either by utilities or by the federal government. Gridflex is one of several developers in the US working to develop the first independently-developed pumped storage projects. That said, the principals of Gridflex and its development partner rPlus Energies have collectively developed, or been associated with development of, thousands of megawatts of electric generation projects. These included wind energy, gas-fired, and solar projects. 2. As of today, have you formally filed your Plan of Development with the Ely BLM office? No, but a draft Plan of Development (POD) is being prepared. The reason why we have not yet filed a POD is that the lead federal agency on licensing for the project is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The local BLM office will be a cooperating agency. Since FERC conducts the NEPA review and EIS, and does so only after the Final License Application is filed, and since that is not expected to happen until the beginning of 2022, our resources have been focused on taking the required preliminary steps on FERC licensing (including development of the very extensive Pre-Application Document that was filed in May), and on preparing exhibits for the draft license application. A BLM Right-of-Way is required, and thus a Plan of Development is required, but it is important to coordinate the FERC-level requirements and timeline with the BLM requirements and timeline. On the other hand, we do want an early understanding of what requirements the BLM may have that FERC may not have, and thus we plan to submit a preliminary Plan of Development in the near future so that we can formally determine what those requirements will be. 3. How many acre-feet of County water will you need, initially, then on an ongoing basis for this project? The project will require approximately 5,000 acre-feet initially. On an ongoing basis, if we leave both reservoirs uncovered, we estimate an average annual need of 520 acre-feet. This could be reduced significantly if we cover one or both reservoirs. 4. What side of the mountain will you access your site from? Will you have more than one access point into the project and have you contacted any of the affected property owners? During the construction phase, we anticipate two access points: one on the Steptoe Valley side and one on the Duck Creek side. The Steptoe Valley side access is needed for construction of the lower reservoir and the tunnels that would lead to the underground powerhouse. It is also where the transmission line would originate. Access on the Duck Creek side would be needed for construction of the upper reservoir. 1
Once the project is operational, access to the project will be almost entirely on the Steptoe Valley side because that is where the access tunnel to the powerhouse will be located, and that powerhouse is the primary location of operation and maintenance activity. Only occasional visitation to the upper reservoir site would be needed. Once we have a better understanding of the favored construction-phase access routes and likely schedule and level of activity, as well as the visual simulation of project features, we will approach all affected landowners. 5. What do you see as direct benefits to our community by building this project? Direct benefits during the development phase would include the income to local companies who may be engaged for their expertise on engineering and permitting. Direct benefits during the construction phase—which would be at least four years long—include construction employment and the local spending that this employment brings. Direct benefits during the operational phase—which could be 80 years or longer—would include (a) employment of permanent staff, (b) the local spending that comes with employment, and (c) property taxes. At every phase there may be additional financial benefits to the community through charitable contributions to local institutions and organizations. 6. If you list “jobs” during construction as a benefit to WPC, would you be willing to enter into a Development Agreement with WPCO and agree to utilize local contractors and subcontractors to perform the work, if qualified and available? It would be our intention to utilize local contractors and subcontractors to the greatest extent possible to perform work on the project, if qualified and available. Whether this is part of a Development Agreement with the County remains to be determined. 7. Once the construction is complete, how many permanent full time jobs will the project support locally? We estimate that 15-20 full-time staff would be required for project operation. We have not yet calculated the secondary job creation that would result from this permanent base. 8. Can you explain what you plan will be in our 10-20-50 year high water events. We live in a desert, in high water years, flash floods come fast and unexpected. Our community power source, historical railroad and private property/homes are beneath your proposed project. Both the upper and lower reservoirs are being designed with a level of freeboard (additional space above the maximum water level used for project operation) to account for maximum expected probable flood events. Dam safety requirements will be met or exceeded. 9. When I visited with Mr. Shapiro, he advised that the “High Line” of our historic rail road would need to be moved. If I am correct, the current RR ROW was established prior to the 1976 ROW legislation and the ground under the rail was addressed and granted to the City of Ely in special legislation. If the City/Railroad were to agree to move the line, they would lose the current ROW/ownership status and 2
would have to reply for a new ROW from BLM which would now fall under the 1976 FLPMA ROW guidelines. Would you please verify? We have discussed the situation with the railroad, the Mayor of Ely, and the BLM, and we are exploring an approach that would allow the railroad and City of Ely to retain ownership of their own ROW. Regarding the FLPMA, we noted the following that may be relevant: “When the Secretary concerned issues a right-of-way under this title for a railroad and appurtenant communication facilities in connection with a realinement [sic] of a railroad on lands under his jurisdiction by virtue of a right-of-way granted by the United States, he may, when he considers it to be in the public interest and the lands involved are not within an incorporated community and are of approximately equal value, notwithstanding the provisions of this title, provide in the new right-of-way the same terms and conditions as applied to the portion of the existing right-of-way relinquished to the United States with respect to the payment of annual rental, duration of the right-of-way, and the nature of the interest in lands granted.” (FLPMA, as amended) 10. I heard that both Gridflex and NV Energy advised the county that they would not be applying for abatements from the state. If this is true, I checked with the Nevada Energy Office yesterday and neither transmission nor storage currently qualify for abatements. We first need to make clear that while we believe that NV Energy would be an ideal market for this project, we are still in the marketing process for the project and NV Energy is not involved with its development. Regarding state tax abatements, transmission and storage have both qualified for the state’s renewable energy tax abatement. The ON transmission line was deemed qualifying in a March 27, 2012 order under Application Filing No. 11-061411TR. Storage paired with solar energy has qualified under other rulings (e.g., Dodge Flat Solar). We believe that since White Pine Pumped Storage would primarily or exclusively serve to help integrate renewable energy—the same basis on which the ON Line applied for an abatement—that it would also qualify. However, no determination has been made whether or not an abatement will be applied for, nor has a full tax analysis of the White Pine Pumped Storage project been performed. It should also be noted that an abatement under the state law would apply only for the first 20 years of this project’s exceedingly long economic life. There are a large number of variables that will influence taxes associated with the project, including its presence almost entirely on BLM lands; the relative portions subject to real property tax vs. personal property tax; the annual rent to be paid to the BLM; sales tax; and other factors. That said, given the capital investment associated with the project (at least $2.2 billion at its planned size), the length of the construction period, and the project’s very long lifespan, there is no doubt that the County would financially benefit from the project, in a significant way, for many decades to come. 11. How many megawatts of power do you anticipate this project producing? How many megawatts would you (NV Energy) be willing to “leave” in our community? Although our local utility is currently 3
under contract, by the time this project is complete, with the changing legislation, our utility will probably also need a renewable energy source of power. If our local resources are to be utilized and this power will be going directly to Reno then onto California I personally feel that 15% drop to WPC would be fair. We first need to reiterate that while we believe that NV Energy would be an ideal market for this project, we are still in the marketing process for the project and NV Energy is not involved with its development. With regard to power going to California, we have in the past considered California as a potential market for the project. However, Nevada itself easily represents a large enough market for White Pine Pumped Storage, and if the project does end up serving load in Reno, there is no physical way that it could be going on to serve load in California. Regarding project capacity, the planned size is 1000 megawatts. To address the question of “leaving megawatts in the community,” it is important to clarify that this project will not be an original source of electrical energy generation like a solar, wind, or geothermal project. The White Pine project is essentially a giant battery, using water as its medium of storage. It would be charged up with surplus energy drawn from the highest-level transmission system (the 500 kV system via the NV Energy substation at Robinson Summit, which is the only local point of interconnection large enough), and then generate primarily during peak load periods when renewable energy is unavailable. There are numerous physical and business reasons why the project would not be able to serve (at least not directly) the electricity supply needs of the local community: 1. A local utility like Mt. Wheeler likely purchases a combination of energy (continuous supply) and capacity (guaranteed ability to meet peak loads) from a wholesaler. Even when current contracts expire, it is likely to continue to source its electricity under the same types of arrangement. White Pine Pumped Storage is purely a capacity resource, not an energy resource, so reliance on a “slice” of the project would not fit with the integrated package approach needed by the local utility. 2. The operation of the project (e.g., when it generates vs. when it pumps) can’t be divided up between two systems. In other words, the local utility would have to take its generation at the same time as the larger user, and it would have to accept zero generation (or even be responsible to supplying energy for pumping) when the larger user is taking zero generation. 3. Due to the size of the project, the interconnection must be at NV Energy’s Robinson Summit substation. For the project’s output to serve local loads, arrangements would need to made to deliver power back into the Mt. Wheeler system. 4. The terms under which the project would complete development and be built are far from settled. However, the most likely owner for a project of this type is a utility. We, as project developer, would not be able to tell that ultimate project owner where the power goes. In fact, attempting to reserve a small piece of the project for local use—even if physically possible or manageable from a business perspective—would greatly complicate efforts to market the project.
4
The supply of renewable energy to the local utility may be a different matter. In addition to the pumped storage project, our development partner rPlus Energies is looking at the potential for developing solar energy locally. If a solar project materializes, and if Mt. Wheeler were interested in purchasing some of it to meet renewable energy supply goals or requirements, then it is entirely possible that we could assist in meeting that need. In closing, we read with interest the Nevada Independent article that you attached. And you are correct in that White Pine County is well situated in terms of transmission development. That transmission development makes the White Pine Pumped Storage project possible, and we believe that the project could allow more effective utilization of that new transmission. It’s a win-win opportunity, and we are committed to making sure that includes a win for White Pine County.

White Pine Pumped Hydro Storage Facility BLM SF299 Pre-Application Meeting
September 30, 2020
Time:

Location: BLM Field Office, Ely Nevada BLM in Attendance: Leslie Riley, Supervisor of Lands, Jason Hines, Reality Specialist, Alicia Hankins, Nichole Cummings, Reality Specialists – Special Legislation, Stephanie Burdick, Reality Specialist, Jared Bybee, BLM Field Manager Project Attendees: Matthew Shapiro, CEO Gridflex, Luigi Resta, President rPlus Energies, Cliff Smith, COO rPlus Energies and Sean Bell, Project Developer (rPlus) Phone Lines were not open Project Discussion and Upcoming Activities: GridFlex/rPlus provided a project overview, company profiles and experience. Status of current filling and actions were described; PAD filing 5/20/20 and clarification of comment period deadline, upcoming studies for DRAFT FERC license, BLM ROW documentation and specifically the Standard Form 299 (SF299). Points of Discussion: SF 299 Application: • •
• • •
The POD will evolve and change over the course of the review and consultation period ROW Application needs to address general data points; Total acreage (permanent and temporary disturbance), Road discussion; new, upgraded, distances, etc., Number and type of new towers, Number and size of new reservoirs, Number and size of new dams, etc. a) POD document should include an “index” table in the executive summary that lists out every project element, permanent and temporary, with placeholders for describing footprint and other dimensions, temporary & permanent disturbance, etc. Per item below, must be over-inclusive. Hard rock mineral deposits do not have royalties associated with them. It was unclear as to what happens if minerals were discovered. Easier to “shrink” (pare-down) project elements vs. adding during the review and consultation period. Comment here; The SF299 Application and supporting documents should be OVER inclusive for all known, potential, and proposed project elements. Preliminary POD (SF299) Application will; a) Provide a mechanism to establish a Project and BLM Cost Reimbursement Agreement

Adjourn
BLM NEPA team will be interdisciplinary and be a complement of subject matter experts such as cultural, biology, geology, hydrology, etc. BLM study review will require notification and cooperation with other agencies (DNR, NDFW, County, City of Ely, etc.) Project finance and triggers for capital investment City of Ely railroad relocation, via BLM land swap, will require separate a SF299 to be submitted by the City of Ely, supported by the Project (Cost reimbursement agreement between the City and the Project), included, and analyzed in the Project SF299 documents 368 Corridor Gonder to Robinson Summit – First-in-time, First-in-right, however, BLM can make a discretionary call as to which applicant is ready and able to move forward. BLM encouraged “competing” applicants to work together to coordinate activities to accommodate as many facilities as possible until the corridor is “full”. Jakes Valley renewable energy projects – 2 proposed solar facilities and 1 wind project is in the resource evaluation stage. Greg Helseth is the BLM Renewable Energy Lead for Nevada BLM stated that the state is sensitive to and concerned about water and mineral rights. The SF 299 can be amended throughout the process by identifying the updated in Section 7 of the SF299 form for each revised or updated version. The BLM ROW ROD term length is currently scheduled in 30, 40, or 50-year terms. BLM (Alicia) suggested that the Applicant request a 50 term since the lifecycle of the facility will exceed 50 years, the owner will need to re-apply for an additional 50-year term. After the ROW is granted, the Applicant can make a “Petition to Acquire”. This process is faster after the ROW has been granted than is filing a “Petition to Acquire” outside of the SF299 process in a magnitude in the order of years. A “Petition to Acquire” will need to follow a county process inclusive of BLM guidance Termination of Project assets discussion and bonding requirements will need to be contemplated in the SF299 Application documents.

Subject: Consultation with the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe. On October 21, 2020, I consulted with Warren Graham, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer with the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe. I went over the particulars with Graham about FERC, the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project, and how FERC intended to carry-out the licensing process involving an original license application for this project, and subsequent environmental review. I asked Warren if there were any potential issues he might want to bring forward at this time, and he said that we should be aware of possible tribal special use areas and traditional cultural places that might be affected by the proposed project. I added that the applicant was intending to carry-out cultural resource studies within the proposed project area, and that the Tribe would have an opportunity to get involved with these studies, as well.

The Center’s Nevada program focuses on the protection of wildlife and endangered species, the preservation of public lands, and the sustainability of Nevada’s groundwater resources. We are deeply concerned with the WPPS project’s potential impacts to the greater sage-grouse and the sage-steppe habitats on which the sage-grouse depends. The project does not appear to have been conceived of or designed with any consideration of impacts to sage-grouse. Indeed, much of the project and associated transmission infrastructure is located within priority habitat management areas (PHMA), a BLM designation that represents the most functional and important sage-grouse habitat on public lands. We encourage the project applicant, FERC, and BLM to consider alternative siting options and project designs to reduce the project’s impact on sagegrouse, up to an including relocating project facilities and access roads. Additionally, we wish to reiterate the importance of full compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. The area in question holds cultural, spiritual, and historical significance for the area’s original inhabitants, the Western Shoshone. The importance of these values cannot be overstated, and should not be minimized in the planning process. We request a robust and transparent consultation process that honors native peoples’ history and sovereignty, and fully acknowledges all Tribal interests in the affected lands. Identification necessary studies to be performed (18 C.F.R. § 4.38(b)(5)(i)) We request a detailed study of all greater sage-grouse habitats and populations that may be impacted by the WPPS project. The greater sage-grouse has been classified as a “sensitive” species by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the State of Nevada. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has documented a considerable amount of sage-grouse activity in and around the project area, which contains both “general” and “priority” sage-grouse habitat.

15, 2020) [hereinafter “PAD”], Appendix A at 50. Sage-grouse could be significantly impacted by project construction, project operation, new transmission infrastructure, and rights-of-way associated with the project. We also request a full inventory of cultural resources pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and an assessment of impacts to Tribal treaty rights. The area affected by the WPPS proposal is within the historical territory of the Western Shoshone people and continues to hold cultural, spiritual, and historic importance for the Western Shoshone and other Native American tribes. Identification of basis for determination (18 C.F.R. § 4.38(b)(5)(ii)) The Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 803(a)(2)(A), and FERC regulations require a project applicant to explain the extent to which the project is consistent with applicable “comprehensive plan[s].” BLM’s Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment for sage-grouse conservation in Nevada and Northeastern California (ARMPA) is one such “comprehensive plan.” PAD at 91. The ARMPA responds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2010 determination that the greater sage-grouse was “warranted” for listing under the Endangered Species Act due to “the present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of the [species’] habitat range,” and “the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms.” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Findings for Petitions to List the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), 75 Fed. Reg. 13909 (March 23, 2010). The ARMPA largely follows the recommendations of another “comprehensive plan,” the 2013 report of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Conservation Objectives Team (COT Report). See PAD at 91. The COT report recognized the primary threat to the greater sage-grouse as the loss and fragmentation of its sagebrush habitat, and recommended specific conservation actions designed to arrest sage-grouse population declines. U.S. Department of Interior, Greater SageGrouse Conservation Objectives: Final Report (FWS February 2013) [hereinafter, “COT Report”]. The COT report also mapped “priority areas for conservation,” or PACs. Id. at 43. PACs were later relied upon by BLM to establish “priority habitat management areas,” or PHMAs, in the 2015 ARMPAs. The ARMPAs and COT report require BLM and project applicants to implement specific conservation measures to protect and conserve greater sage-grouse and sagebrush habitat. These include the avoidance, where possible, of priority or general habitat management areas, caps on anthropogenic disturbance in sage-grouse habitat, and restrictions on development near important habitat features such as sage-grouse breeding grounds or “leks.” In order to fully comply with these requirements, BLM and the project applicant must understand the condition of sage-grouse habitat in the area and the impacts the project will have on this sensitive species. White Pine Waterpower’s proposed “desktop study” is not sufficient to understand the full spectrum of likely impacts.

Resource issues, goals, and objectives (18 C.F.R. § 4.38(b)(5)(iii)) The primary resource issue affecting the conservation status of the greater sage-grouse is the continuing loss and degradation of sagebrush habitat. As noted, the Fish and Wildlife Service concluded that the sage-grouse warranted ESA protection largely based on the “present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment” of the species’ habitat. Similarly, the COT report stated: There is an urgent need to ‘stop the bleeding’ of continued population declines and habitat losses by acting immediately to eliminate or reduce the impacts contributing to population declines and range erosion. There are no populations within the range of sage-grouse that are immune to the threat of habitat loss and fragmentation. COT Report at 31-32. The proposed pumped storage project would be located entirely within federally designated sagegrouse habitat, including “priority” and “general” habitat management areas. It will directly impact a large amount of sagebrush habitat, and have indirect effects over a much larger area. The best available science recommends siting new anthropogenic developments outside of designated habitat. For instance, the COT report recommended that BLM and project applicants, “avoid energy development in [priority habitats].” Id. “If avoidance [of designated habitat areas] is not possible . . . due to pre-existing valid rights, adjacent development, or split estate issues, development should only occur in non-habitat areas, including all appurtenant structures, with an adequate buffer that is sufficient to preclude impacts to sage-grouse habitat from noise, and other human activities.” Id. Finally, if avoidance of actual habitat is not possible, “the development should occur in the least suitable habitat for sage-grouse and be designed to ensure at a minimum that there are no detectable declines in sage-grouse population trends (and seek increases if possible).” Id. Detailed study of sagebrush habitats and sage-grouse populations in the project area is necessary to comply with these requirements. Only detailed study will determine what areas within GHMA and PHMA may be considered non-habitat or low-quality habitat. Further, detailed study of sagegrouse population dynamics in the area is necessary to avoid other anthropogenic impacts, such as noise from construction and operation of the project. These studies may also reveal habitat of such high quality that impacts simply cannot be avoided and the project should be reconfigured to avoid sage-grouse habitat. Similar to the COT Report, the ARMPA recognizes energy development—and renewable energy development in particular—as a major threat to sage-grouse in Nevada. ARMPA at 1-8. In general the ARMPA directs BLM to “[m]inimize the effects of infrastructure projects, including siting, using the best available science, updated as monitoring information on current infrastructure projects becomes available.” Id. at 1-10. BLM must also “[e]nsure that all BLM use authorizations contain terms and conditions regarding the actions needed to meet or progress toward meeting the habitat objectives for [greater sage-grouse].” Id. at 1-12. This management direction can only be complied with if BLM and the project applicant possess detailed information about sage-grouse 3

habitats, sage-grouse population dynamics, and the likely impacts to sage-grouse from the proposed development. Although the ARMPA does not contain specific management direction for hydroelectric power projects, other types of renewables are highly disfavored in both PHMA and GHMA. Both PHMA and GHMA are “exclusion” areas for solar development. Id. at 2-3. For wind, PHMA is an “exclusion” area, while GHMA is an “avoidance” area. Id. Geothermal development in both PHMA and GHMA is subject to “major stipulations.” Id. Thus, although BLM did not contemplate hydroelectric development in either PHMA or GHMA (likely due to the general aridity of sagesteppe habitat) it did recognize the adverse impacts of utility-scale renewable development on sage-grouse habitat values, and directed BLM to site such projects outside of habitat areas wherever possible. More specific ARPMA management direction relevant to the WPPS proposal includes prioritization and avoidance, disturbance caps, lek buffers, seasonal restrictions, and noise restrictions. Prioritization and Avoidance. The ARPMA’s “first priority” for all varieties of development is to “avoid new disturbance.” Id. at 2-6. Specifically, new projects should be located outside of PHMA and GHMA. Id. The “second priority,” where avoidance is not feasible, is to “minimize and mitigate any new disturbance.” Id. As noted, projects within PHMA or GHMA should be located in non-habitat areas, and then in the least suitable habitat for sage-grouse. Id. The “third priority,” if impacts to actual habitat cannot be avoided is to “collocate the project[] next to or in the footprint of existing infrastructure.” Id. As currently conceived, the WPPS project does not comply with this management direction. It is located within GHMA and PHMA, not limited to non-habitat areas, and not sited within the footprint of existing infrastructure. In fact, the areas slated for development are among the most remote and pristine habitats in all of Nevada. Detailed studies of sage-grouse habitat in this area would help the project applicant recognize the irreplaceable value of this habitat and site the project more appropriately. Disturbance Caps. In PHMA, the ARMPA requires BLM to limit “discrete anthropogenic disturbances,” such as those associated with energy development, so they cover less than three percent of total PHMA in both the sage-grouse population area the proposed project analysis area. The three percent limit is based on the best available science (Knick et al. 2013; Decker et al. 2017) which has documented sage-grouse population declines and habitat abandonment at greater densities of human development. There is no scientific evidence that sage-grouse can tolerate a greater percentage of surface disturbance. BLM’s National Sage-Grouse Technical team was particularly explicit regarding the need to apply the three-percent limit rigorously. (NTT 2011 at 7) NTT also defined “anthropogenic disturbance” broadly to include “paved highways, graded gravel roads, transmission lines, substations, wind turbines, oil and gas wells, geothermal wells and associated facilities, pipelines, landfills, homes, and mines.” (Id.) The PAD does not include sufficient information to determine whether the proposed development will exceed the three percent disturbance cap. More detailed study is therefore required. If such study reveals that the cap will be exceeded, the project must be modified or relocated to comply with the ARMPA. 4

Lek Buffers. Preserving habitats in close proximity to sage-grouse strutting grounds, or “leks,” is of the utmost importance. Accordingly, the ARMPA requires, for all “management actions,” that BLM apply the lek-buffer distances identified in the USGS report Conservation Buffer Distance Estimates for Greater Sage-Grouse—A Review Open File-Report 2014-1239 (Manier et al. 2014). Id. at 2-8. Those buffers are as follows: (1) linear features (roads) within 3.1 miles of leks; (2) infrastructure related to energy development within 3.1 miles of leks; (3) tall structures (e.g., communication or transmission towers, transmission lines) within 2 miles of leks; (4) low structures (e.g., fences, rangeland structures) within 1.2 miles of leks; (5) surface disturbance (continuing human activities that alter or remove the natural vegetation) within 3.1 miles of leks; (5) and noise and related disruptive activities including those that do not result in habitat loss (e.g., motorized recreational events) at least 0.25 miles from leks. Id. These lek buffers are based on a large body of scientific research and represent the lowest acceptable degree of protection. Some research suggests that larger buffers are appropriate (see, e.g. Aldridge and Boyce 2007) (suggesting 10 kilometer buffers) and Manier (2014) acknowledges a range of acceptable buffer distances. We therefore recommend a detailed study to determine appropriate lek buffers specifically for this project, and to integrate those buffers into the project design. Seasonal Restrictions. The ARMPAs contain detailed seasonal activity restrictions designed to prevent disturbances to sage-grouse during seasonal life-cycle periods. Id. at 2-8. It is not clear from the PAD whether the project, as conceived, can comply with these restrictions, and thus further study is required. BLM and the project applicant must also consider the importance of winter habitat. Priority habitats were largely designated based on buffers around active leks, which encompass the breeding and nesting habitats used by sage-grouse during the spring and summer. But protecting winter habitat is equally important to assuring the survival and recovery of the species. If sage-grouse are unable to survive the winter due to the degradation or destruction of winter habitat, it will matter little whether nesting habitats are protected. The project applicant should therefore conduct a detailed study of sage-grouse winter habitats in the area, with the understanding that the winter habitat stipulations in the ARMPA do not fully address the threat of habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation, displacement of and stress to sage grouse resulting from vehicle traffic, noise, and human activity along roads and at industrial sites, displacement of grouse and increased predation resulting from overhead powerlines and tall structures, and other human intrusions know to disturb, displace, and cause population declines of sage grouse. Noise Restrictions. The ARMPA provides that noise from permitted activities shall not exceed 10 decibels above ambient sound levels at least 0.25 mile from active and pending leks, from two hours before to two hours after sunrise and sunset during the breeding season. Id. at 2-9. BLM is further required to work with project applicants to limit project-related noise, both seasonally and annually, where it would be expected to reduce the functionality of sage-grouse habitat. A detailed study of the project’s noise impacts is therefore required. Noise from almost any type of permitted activity can have a major negative impact on sage grouse, causing disturbance and displacement from preferred habitat and drowning out the mating calls of males during the lekking season. (Blickley and Patricelli 2012) Noise also causes stress to sage-grouse at all life stages, (Blickley et al. 2012a; 2012b) causing sage-grouse to avoid otherwise suitable habitat. Noise at energy 5

development sites is less seasonal and more widespread than from other forms of development. (Id.) Powerlines. In addition to these considerations, it must be noted that there is a great deal of scientific research documenting the negative impacts of powerlines and other linear features on sage-grouse. Wisdom et al. (2011) found that lands within 3.1 miles of transmission lines and highways had an elevated rate of lek abandonment. Nonne et al. (2011) found that raven abundance increased along the Falcon-Gondor powerline corridor in Nevada both during the construction period, and long-term after powerline construction activities had ceased. Braun et al. (2002) reported that 40 leks with a power line within 0.25 mile of the lek site had significantly slower population growth rates than unaffected leks, which was attributed to increased raptor predation. Dinkins (2013) documented sage grouse avoidance of powerlines not just during the nesting period but also during early and late brood-rearing. LeBeau et al. (2014) found that sage grouse avoided habitats within 2.9 miles of transmission lines during the brood-rearing period. Hansen et al. (2016) documented negligible additional avoidance of a powerline co-located with an existing transmission line in low-quality wintering habitats in Utah, and stated (at p. 184), “existing transmission line corridors located in poor-quality winter habitat are likely already avoided by sage-grouse, and co-locating additional lines within these corridors may dampen the effects of new tall structures on the landscape in the years immediately following construction.” Dinkins et al. (2014) documented no spatial avoidance, but lower hen survival in areas with higher powerline density. Shirk et al. (2015) found that co-locating several transmission lines beside each other resulted in a complete barrier to sage-grouse migration and dispersal in central Washington. Based on this and other research, BLM’s National Technical Team (NTT) recommended that priority habitats be exclusion areas for overhead powerlines, and that general habitats should be avoidance areas for overhead lines; and that general habitats be managed as avoidance areas for new rightsof-way. Based on these studies and recommendations, we request that the applicant’s sage-grouse study include a detailed examination of the impacts of any powerlines and rights-of-way associated with the project. Mitigation. A detailed sage-grouse study will also be important in assessing mitigation requirements for the project and selecting the appropriate methods for mitigation. The ARMPAs require that all mitigated projects provide a “net conservation gain” to sage-grouse. While this can sometimes be accomplished by off-site mitigation, it is also important to recognize the unique importance of local populations, including the Duck Creek Basin population that will be impacted by this project. We strongly encourage FERC, BLM, and the project applicant to consider mitigation alternatives that specifically benefit the Duck Creek basin population and enhance sagegrouse habitat values in the area affected by the project. The ARMPAs’ goal of landscape-scale conservation cannot be realized if mitigation efforts are concentrated on small portions of private and public land far away from where sage-grouse have historically lived. Some mitigation options to consider for this project include rehabilitation of areas currently degraded by roads, rights-ofway, or other forms of human development, and the purchase and retirement of BLM livestock grazing permits. A detailed study should discuss all feasible mitigation options and reveal which of these would produce the most conservation benefit to the specific sage-grouse populations and habitats impacted by the project. 6

Recommended study methodology (18 C.F.R. § 4.38(b)(5)(iv) and (v)) According to the PAD, the project applicant intends to conduct a “desktop assessment” of all sensitive species, including greater sage-grouse. We believe this is insufficient. Several of the ARMPA’s specific requirements cannot be met without detailed, site-specific study. Even where compliance is possible, a desktop review will not impart sufficient information to enable BLM and the project applicant to comply with the fundamental directive of the ARMPAs, which is to avoid or mitigate any further loss of sagebrush habitat, particularly in priority management areas. For this reason, we request a robust, data-driven study of sage-grouse and sage-grouse habitats in the project area. This should include habitat surveys, population estimates, lek counts, and other generally-accepted methods for quantitatively measuring the health of sage-grouse populations, as well as the extent and condition of sage-grouse habitat. These include but are not limited to generally accepted methodologies for habitat surveys such as the AIM and HAF protocols. Given the utmost importance of protecting functional and intact habitat, the project applicant should conduct its own, on-the-ground habitat surveys, instead of relying on preexisting data or maps. Studies should be conducted over multiple years to account for seasonal and annual variations in sage-grouse populations and habitat use. We further request a detailed study of the noise impacts of the project. This study should use the ambient noise level of 17.2 dBA (Piquette et al. 2014), rather than the most commonly used 39 dBA. As Patricelli et al. (2013) pointed out, the use of 39 dBA as an ambient noise threshold derived from an outdated (1971) EPA study from Camarillo, California in farmland with the noise of mechanical tree trimmers factored into the ambient noise level. It has nothing at all to do with sage-grouse habitat, and reliance on this threshold is wholly inappropriate. Based on the best available science, the key threshold where significant impacts would be expected is 26 dBA measured using L50 standards at the highest. During lekking hours (4:00 to 10:00 am), the noise threshold should be lowered to 23 dBA. Finally, we request a comprehensive, quantitative study of all cumulative impacts to greater sagegrouse in the project area, including wildfire, invasive species, mining, and improper livestock grazing. These threats are ubiquitous throughout the sage-grouse’s range in Nevada, and without a full accounting of threats in the area, there is no way to know whether further development will cause the species to cross a “tipping point” at which populations decline and recovery becomes more difficult. This request also reflects the fact that threats to sage-grouse in any particular area may be synergistic. For example, Coates et al. (2016) found that raven density was associated with the presence of livestock, indicating that livestock grazing is likely to subsidize raven populations at artificially high densities. Livestock grazing also reduces grass height, negatively affecting sage grouse hiding cover, and promote the introduction and spread of invasive species. Invasive species, in turn, can dramatically increase wildfire risk. How the study will be useful to the Center, its members, and the public (18 C.F.R. § 4.38(b)(5)(vi)) As noted, the Center has supporters who across Nevada and in White Pine County, and who utilize public lands for recreation and other uses. These members are deeply concerned with the health of 7

Filed Date: 10/29/2020
the public lands and the wellbeing of the species that depend on them, including the greater sagegrouse. On behalf of its members, as well as the general public, the Center has long been active in sage-grouse conservation efforts, and continues to advocate for greater sage-grouse protections wherever the species is found. The requested study will help the Center, its members, and the public ensure that the project takes into account these considerable interests in sage-grouse conservation and recovery. We also note that the sage-grouse is considered an “umbrella” species for the greater sage-steppe ecosystem. This means that the status of sage-grouse populations is indicative of the health of the sage-steppe as a whole, and the conservation measures discussed above are intended to not only preserve and recover the sage-grouse but also the hundreds of other species that depend on sagebrush environments. By making all reasonable efforts to conserve sage-grouse, the project applicant can ensure the continued viability of one of the most unique and imperiled ecosystems in the world, and also provide habitat for a host of other important species, from migratory birds to reptiles to big game. However, this can only happen if the applicant engages in the requested studies and collects all of the site-specific data necessary to reasonably determine the project’s likely impacts on the sage-grouse and its habitat. Additional Study Request: NHPA Section 106 Study and Consultation Finally, we wish to reiterate the importance of cultural resource protection and compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Congress has emphasized the importance of cultural resource protection: “The historical and cultural foundations of the nation should be preserved as a living part of our community life and development in order to give a sense of orientation to the American people.” 16 U.S.C. § 470(b)(2). Congress further provided that “the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy benefits will be maintained and enriched for future generations of Americans.” Id. § 470(b)(4). The principal statutes protecting cultural resources on public lands are the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 16 U.S.C. §§ 470-470w-6, and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), Id. §§ 470aa-470ii. The NHPA requires federal agencies to engage in consultation, often accomplished in conjunction with the NEPA process, to take into account the effect of federal undertakings on historic properties and traditional cultural resources. Public or private property may be eligible if it meets the following National Register criteria: (1) it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; (2) it is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; (3) it possesses high artistic values or distinctive characteristics of a period, type, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master; or (4) it may yield important historical information. 36 C.F.R. § 60.4. The 1992 NHPA amendments explicitly provide that “properties of traditional religious and cultural importance” to American Indian tribes may be eligible. 16 U.S.C. § 470a(d)(6). Such properties are often referred to as “traditional cultural properties” (TCPs). 8

The NHPA defines “undertaking” broadly to include “project[s], activit[ies], or program[s] funded in whole or in part under the direct or indirect jurisdiction of a Federal agency.” 16 U.S.C. § 470w(7). Hydroelectric power development on public lands is thus an “undertaking” for purposes of Section 106. The federal “action agency”—in this case FERC—has responsibility for effectuating each step of consultation and ensuring that the appropriate entities are involved during the process. Federal agencies that fail to execute their NHPA responsibilities, along with their permittees, may be enjoined from proceeding with the undertaking in question. See Pueblo of Sandia v. United States, 50 F.3d 856, 862 (10th Cir. 1995); Muckleshoot Indian Tribe v. U.S. Forest Serv., 177 F.3d 800, 808, 29 ELR 21168, 21171 (9th Cir. 1999). Further, an applicant or permittee who has intentionally caused significant adverse effects to a historic property may be barred from receiving loans, permits, licenses, or other assistance. 16 U.S.C. § 470h-2(k). ARPA, meanwhile, prohibits the excavation or removal of archaeological resources from federal lands without a permit. Prior to granting a permit under ARPA, the land manager must contact all Native American tribes with historic ties to the federal lands at issue in order to identify sites of religious or cultural importance. 43 C.F.R. § 7.7(b). If the activity may result in harm to any such site, the land manager must provide notice to interested tribes and allow 30 days for a response. Id. § 7.7(a). Violations of ARPA are subject to civil and criminal penalties. Please make every effort to conduct a full cultural resource inventory and consult with affected Tribes in a manner that befits their sovereignty and status as this area’s original inhabitants. Conclusion Thank you for this opportunity to submit these study requests and associated comments. We look forward to working with FERC, the BLM, and the project applicant throughout this licensing process to ensure the protection of this region’s irreplaceable biodiversity and the cultural heritage of the Western Shoshone. If you have questions or clarification, please contact the undersigned.

Although I do support renewable energy, this is not the way to go about doing it. I understand that the power storage would be for Reno, and Reno has Tesla to make them battery storage. Just the line losses of shipping power across the State of Nevada and back should make something like this unprofitable.

I hunt and pick pine nuts in that very area they propose to turn into an industrial site. My Western Shoshone ancestors lived on those
very mountains. This area has religious significance. These mountain ranges are sacred to us. I expect they will find archaeological sites there. This is not a desolate useless place. The Duck Creek mountain range links in with the Schell Creek Range – only one valley away from the Great Basin National Park. Thousands and thousands of tourists, hunters, fishermen, and trekkers visit here every year. These areas are home to the sage grouse, which should be protected. And also, they are asking for water in the desert. This is what we have the least of. There’s a mega-drought. Our high deserts don’t have extra water. And leakage could make the water losses far greater that their estimates.

United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 333 Bush Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94104-2828 IN REPLY REFER TO:
October 30, 2020 The Honorable Kimberly D. Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, N.E. Room 1A Washington, D.C. 20426 RE: National Park Service Comments on the Pre-Application Document and Study Requests for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P- 14851) Dear Secretary Bose: The National Park Service (NPS) respectfully submits the following comments on the Preapplication Document (PAD) for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P- 14851). The NPS is also submitting two study requests: 1) Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) Visitor Use and Experience Study and 2) NNR Socioeconomic Study. The NPS has authority to consult with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and applicants concerning a project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (Pub Law 88-29), and the NPS Organic Act (39 Stat. 535). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to relicensing incorporate the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. Investigating opportunities to improve the recreation experience is consistent with NPS policy and FERC guidelines to identify potential future recreation needs. A. NPS COMMENTS ON THE PAD The NPS submits the following comments on the PAD for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, which will be further referred to as the “Project.” 1. Nevada Northern Railway On page 1 of the PAD, the Applicant acknowledges that portions of the Project “would intersect with the routing of portions of the track for the existing NNR, a historic passenger railroad and National Historic Landmark” and that the “Applicant intends to work with the NNR during the FERC licensing process to consider track rerouting to accommodate Project construction”. The 1
intent to reroute a portion of the NNR track to accommodate the proposed Project is reiterated on pages 70 and 78 of the PAD. While the Applicant acknowledges that the NNR National Historic Landmark is acclaimed as “the best-preserved and most original example of an American railroad facility” that “offers passenger trail rides pulled by century-old steam engines,” there is no mention in the PAD on how rerouting a portion of the track would impact NNR visitor use and experiences. Furthermore, the PAD does not identify what section of the track would be rerouted, the length of track section that would need to be rerouted, and how long use of the track would be disrupted during Project construction and track re-routing. The only place in the PAD where the affected section of track is mentioned (but not identified as the affected track) is on page 70, where it states that “[a] few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the hi-line toward McGill.” Even this statement is misleading as the NNR operates trains more frequently on the HiLine Branch, which includes the section of track that runs through the proposed Project boundary. According to the NNR President, even with restrictions placed due to Corona virus, trains were operated on the HiLine Branch an average of three times a week in 2020, and they have plans to operate four trains per week in 2021. In addition, “special trains” are also operated on the HiLine Branch, including the extremely popular “Star Train” that has already been booked for the 2021 season. NPS rangers from Great Basin National Park participate on these trains, working with the NNR to assist visitors on viewing the night sky. In addition to the HiLine Branch, a second set of train tracks, the Mainline (lower track) also runs through the proposed Project boundary. Although no trains are operated on this track, the NNR has been considering reopening the track and offering train rides to McGill and has recently written a grant to do so (pers. commun. Mark Basset, NNR President). To better understand potential Project impacts to the important recreation opportunities offered by NNR, the NPS requests that the Applicant provide the following information: A. The location and length of track that would be rerouted. B. The estimated time that affected section of track would be closed to train rides due to project construction and re-routing. C. The impact to the viewshed from the train (i.e., passengers’ perspective) due to re-routing the track. D. Impacts on the night-sky viewing from Star Trains due to rerouting the tracks. Currently, the star-gazing platform is within the vicinity of the proposed Project boundary. 2. Land Ownership in the Proposed Project Boundary In Section 5.1.2.1 on page 15 of the PAD, it states that, with exception of some small, privatelyowned parcels, lands within the proposed project boundary are lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This observation is incorrect. In January 1988, the railway rightof-way (ROW) land was transferred out of federal ownership by a congressional action under Interim Conveyance No. 002 to the City of Ely. A copy of the interim conveyance is attached to these comments. Re-routing the Hi-Line would involve taking the railway ROW out of City ownership and applying for a ROW on BLM-administered lands, which would trigger the BLM requesting additional studies. The NPS requests that the Applicant describes, in detail, the process by which they would reroute the HiLine Branch, the time it would take to complete the
2
re-route (which includes obtaining a ROW from the BLM), and how the City of Ely-owned lands that remain in the original ROW would be addressed/managed. 3. Potential Resource Effects and List of Studies In Table 6.0-1 Resource Areas, Potential Resource Effects, and Potential Studies (page 89 of the PAD), the Applicants do not mention the potential effects of the Project on NNR visitor use and experiences. It only states that the construction of the Project “may impact recreation in the immediate vicinity.” No studies are proposed to examine visitor use on the HiLine Branch, which is necessary to determine impact to such use and experiences. Similarly, in Table 6.0-1 for potential socioeconomic effects, the PAD only states that Project construction activities “have the potential to temporarily disrupt or modify local infrastructure, patterns, or routines”. It does not mention either the short-term or long-term effects of re-routing the HiLine Branch and proposes no studies to examine such effects. Finally, while the Applicant proposes an Aesthetic and Visual Resources Study that will include “visual simulations modeling what the Project will look like postconstruction,” the proposed study does not include examining the visual impacts from the perspective of NNR passengers on the HiLine Branch, which is necessary to determine aesthetic impacts to the HiLine Branch viewshed, which would affect visitor experiences. Due to the limitations identified in the identified potential resource effects and proposed studies, the NPS is submitting two study requests: 1) NNR Visitor Uses and Experiences and 2) NNR Socioeconomic Study. The NPS is also requesting that the Applicant modify their draft Aesthetic and Visual Resources Study to include perspectives from NNR passengers on the HiLine Branch. 4. Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan A Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan is included in the PAD. The NPS commends the applicant for proposing such a study, which would assist in determining aesthetic impacts related to the Project. The NPS requests that the study incorporates in its list of “key viewing locations” the view of the proposed Project from the HiLine Branch. The Visual and Aesthetic Study should capture the train-rider’s perspective from the existing HiLine Branch route, as well as the location of where the rail re-routing would occur. This includes both the view of the Project, as well as other views from the train that would be changed due to the re-route. During the Key Observation Point (KOP) development process, the time of day should be considered as well as the location of KOPs along the HiLine Branch. Train rides are offered to visitors at different times of the day, including evening/sunset rides and nighttime/star gazing rides, as well as during the day. The timing of the train ride alters the aesthetic character of the landscape as seen by visitors from the HiLine Branch and should thus be considered. Finally, the Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study states that the Applicant “will determine the degree of impact and whether the impact is adverse, beneficial, or neutral.” Since visitors on HiLine Branch train rides would be directly impacted by the changes in the landscape due to constructed Project features and re-routing of the track, they should be included in the impact analysis. Consequently, the KOP photo simulations should be incorporated into a visitor survey and included into the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study that the NPS is requesting below.

B. NPS STUDY REQUEST #1: NORTHERN NEVADA RAILWAY VISITOR USE AND EXPERIENCES STUDY The NPS recommends the following study that addresses each of the seven study criteria as required under 18 CFR §5.9. While the criteria under 18 CFR §5.9 are written specifically for the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) and the proposed Project was granted use of the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP), the NPS choses to use the more thorough ILP study request criteria to ensure that all aspects of the proposed studies are addressed. 1. Criteria 1: Study Description and Objectives (§5.9(b)(1)) !
Describe the goals and objectives of each study proposal and the information to be obtained.
This study will evaluate NNR visitor use and experiences. The purpose and objectives of the study are to (1) determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, (2) characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of railway that would be affected by the Project (3) estimate magnitude and duration of both short-term and long-term impacts on NNR visitor use and experiences, and (4) identify methods to avoid or mitigate potential impacts. 2. Criteria 2: Resource Management Goals (§5.9(b)(2)): !
If applicable, explain the relevant resource management goals of the agencies or Indian tribes with jurisdiction over the resource to be studied.
The NPS has authority to consult with the FERC and applicants concerning a proposed project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR §§ 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (PL 88-29) and the NPS Organic Act (16 USC et seq.). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. It is in the public interest to analyze impacts and trade-offs, provide mitigation to these impacts and evaluate opportunities for recreation in the future. The FERC guidelines and the Federal Power Act also provide direction to give equal consideration to other non-hydropower resources including recreation. As federal agencies operating in the public interest, both the NPS and FERC are charged with making resource management decisions based on sound information about public needs and interests, including interests in recreation resources. 3. Criteria 3: Resource Agency Status of Requestor and Relevant Public Interest (§5.9(b)(3)) !
If the requester is not a resource agency, explain any relevant public interest considerations in regard to the proposed study.
4
The NPS is a resource agency. It is in the public’s interest to fully document recreation opportunities and potential for impacts during a FERC licensing effort. Existing and potential future recreation must be evaluated during the FERC licensing process (18 C.F.R. 4.51). 4. Criteria 4: Existing Information and Need for Additional Information (§5.9(b)(4)) !
Describe existing information concerning the subject of the study proposal and the need for additional information.
The PAD briefly describes the NNR National Historic Landmark, it’s history, and the fact that it offers a number of rides daily to the public that depart from the depot. The PAD also mentions that “a portion of the NNR currently runs through the Project’s lower reservoir as currently configured,” and “with construction of the Project, portions of the track would require relocation.” No information is provided on how rerouting the tracks would affect NNR visitor use and experiences. The proposed study is designed to obtain this missing and vital information necessary to determine Project effects on recreation in the Project area and to draft possible mitigation measures to reduce or avoid such impacts. 5. Criteria 5: Nexus to Project (§5.9(b)(5)) !
Explain any nexus between project operations and effects (direct, indirect, and/or cumulative) on the resource to be studied, and how the study results would inform the development of license requirements
A clear nexus exists between the Project and the NNR visitor use and experiences. The Project would require rerouting portions of the HiLine Branch, which is currently used to take visitors on historic and scenic train rides. This includes the “Star Train,” which is operated with NPS staff onboard to assist in star gazing. A second track, the Mainline/lower track would also be directly affected as it also runs through the proposed Project boundary. While the Mainline is not currently in use, the NNR is working on plans to open that route to train rides. The proposed study is necessary to determine the extent and duration of Project impacts to current and future NNR visitor use and experiences. 6. Criteria 6: Study Methodology (§5.9(b)(6)) !
Explain how any proposed study methodology (including any preferred data collection and analysis techniques, or objectively quantified information, and a schedule including appropriate field seasons(s) and the duration) is consistent with generally accepted practice in the scientific community or, as appropriate, considers relevant tribal values and knowledge.
An assessment of recreation use and experiences potentially impacted by a proposed project is consistent with generally accepted practices employed during hydroelectric licensing proceedings.
5
a. Determine Visitor Use Numbers and Characteristics on the Potentially Affected Train Rides Determine the total number of visitors who take train rides. Identify which train rides would be affected by the rerouted tracks and determine the percent of total visitor use numbers that would be affected by the proposed Project (i.e., those who take trips on the HiLine Branch). Work with the NNR to obtain visitor use data, as well as details on any plans on expanding number of trips on the HiLine Branch, as well as the potential for starting up train rides on the Mainline/lower track. Use this information to estimate future use. Summarize demographic characteristics of train riders on the HiLine Branch. Some of this information may be obtained from NNR’s visitor data. A visitor use survey may also need to be conducted to collect additional information on visitor demographics.
b. Characterize Visitor Experiences on the Potentially Affected Train Rides Quantify visitor perceptions relative to Hi-Line Branch train rides. Collect information on visitor characteristics, attitudes, and preferences for the train rides. Conduct visitor use surveys of current visitors to determine how they chose a HiLine Branch train ride and what they value about their trip. Visitors on both regular and specialty trains should be surveyed and the study length should be a full year, which is necessary to capture special train rides that are operated different times of year (e.g., Star Train, Haunted Ghost Train, Santa’s Reindeer Flyer, Fire and Ice Fireworks Train, etc.). The survey should include the KOP photo simulations that the Applicant develops under its proposed Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study to capture visitor’s perceptions of how Project features and re-routing the HiLine Branch would affect the visual characteristics of their trip. 7. Criteria 7: Level of Effort and Cost (§5.9(b)(7) !
Describe considerations of level of effort and cost, as applicable, and why any proposed alternative studies would not be sufficient to meet the stated Information needs.
The PAD did not propose any studies that would provide data on proposed Project impacts to NNR visitor use and experiences. The proposed study would include gathering user data from the NNR and supplementing that data with visitor use surveys. The cost would be contingent on the billing rate arrangement with the Applicants' consultants (rate is not known). C. NPS STUDY REQUEST #2: NORTHERN NEVADA RAILWAY SOCIOECONOMIC STUDY 1. Criteria 1: Study Description and Objectives (§5.9(b)(1)) !
Describe the goals and objectives of each study proposal and the information to be obtained:
This study will evaluate the economic contributions NNR visitor use has on the local economy, specifically the City of Ely and White Pine County. The purpose and objectives of this study are 6
to 1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR, 2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute, and 3) evaluate any long-term socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. 2. Criteria 2: Resource Management Goals (§5.9(b)(2)): !
If applicable, explain the relevant resource management goals of the agencies or Indian tribes with jurisdiction over the resource to be studied.
The NPS has authority to consult with the FERC and applicants concerning a proposed project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR §§ 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (PL 88-29) and the NPS Organic Act (16 USC et seq.). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. It is in the public interest to analyze impacts and trade-offs, provide mitigation to these impacts and evaluate opportunities for recreation in the future. The FERC guidelines and the Federal Power Act also provide direction to give equal consideration to other non-hydropower resources including recreation. As federal agencies operating in the public interest, both the NPS and FERC are charged with making resource management decisions based on sound information about public needs and interests, including interests in recreation resources. 3. Criteria 3: Resource Agency Status of Requestor and Relevant Public Interest (§5.9(b)(3)) !
If the requester is not a resource agency, explain any relevant public interest considerations in regard to the proposed study.
The NPS is a resource agency. It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to re-licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands, while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. Therefore, evaluating recreation-related economic impacts is consistent with NPS policy and FERC guidelines. 4. Criteria 4: Existing Information and Need for Additional Information (§5.9(b)(4)) !
Describe existing information concerning the subject of the study proposal and the need for additional information.
The PAD briefly describes the socioeconomic conditions in White Pine County in Section 5.11 of the PAD (pp. 82-83). This includes statistics on population, race and ethnicity, income and poverty, and employment. The PAD does not discuss the economic contribution of NNR to the local community and county, which would be disrupted by the Project, and no economic studies 7
are proposed. The NNR is known to generate economic benefits for the City of Ely and White Pine County. According to The Nevada Independent newspaper article,1 dated October 27, 2019, it is estimated that 80 percent of the Railway’s guests stay overnight, and the economic effect of the NNR’s excursions, including the Star Train, is likely $2.5 million annually when factoring in overnight stays. More details are needed on the economic contribution of the Railway, which is necessary to determine the economic impact of the Project on the local economy. 5. Criteria 5: Nexus to Project (§5.9(b)(5)) !
Explain any nexus between project operations and effects (direct, indirect, and/or cumulative) on the resource to be studied, and how the study results would inform the development of license requirements
A clear nexus exists between the Project and the local economic contributions of NNR visitors. The Project would require shutting down a percentage of train rides during Project construction and track re-routing, which would reduce economic contributions from NNR visitors to the City of Ely and White Pine County. In addition to short-term impacts from shutting down the HiLine Branch during rerouting, long-term affects could occur due to changing the nature of the train experience. There is also the potential to affect the expanding train rides, including opening the Mainline/lower track, which also runs through the proposed Project boundaries. 6. Criteria 6: Study Methodology (§5.9(b)(6)) !
Explain how any proposed study methodology (including any preferred data collection and analysis techniques, or objectively quantified information, and a schedule including appropriate field seasons(s) and the duration) is consistent with generally accepted practice in the scientific community or, as appropriate, considers relevant tribal values and knowledge.
Assessing economic impacts from potential loss of recreation use due to project construction and operation is consistent with generally accepted practices employed during hydroelectric licensing proceedings. The proposed study would include using data gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and Experiences Study, local resources such as White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Department, and existing reports such as the White Pine County, Nevada 2011 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. Stakeholders should be involved in assessing the parameters of the overall study. Determining local economic contributions of the NNR and potential impacts from the proposed Project on such contributions would involve the following steps. ! 1
Calculating the economic value and socioeconomic benefits currently supported by the NNR would involve using visitor use numbers gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and

Experiences Study. This data can be used to determine visitor expenditures during their time in White Pine County and calculating regional economic benefits using regional economics models and data (see below). !
Determining the short-term economic effects of closing the HiLine Branch due to rerouting the tracks would require estimating the duration of the closure and calculating the reduction in train rides and user numbers.
!
Predicting long-term socioeconomic effects from rerouting the tracks would involve determining if changes in visitor experiences (data gathered from NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study) would lead to reduced visitation. It would also involve predicting if potential future train ride opportunities on the Mainline/lower tracks would be reduced due to Project construction and operation.
Regional economic benefits generated by NNR visitor use should be based on regional economic models and data, specifically, an input-output (I-O) model. I-O models use information on sales and expenditures by industry, including the shares of expenditures paid to in-region businesses, to estimate economic multipliers. The multipliers can be used to estimate the total economic impact per dollar of direct output change for any industry. The ratio of the total economic activity to the direct impact is called a “multiplier,” which can be developed for all measures of regional economic activity. For the requested socioeconomic study, the estimation of regional economic impacts attributable to the Project would require the use of I-O software and data, or data alone, readily available from various commercial sources. One of the most commonly used is IMPLAN (IMpact Analysis for PLANning), which consists of two components: the software and the database. The software performs the necessary calculations, using study area data, to create regional I-O models. The databases, which are available at the state, county, and zip code area levels, provide the base economic information needed to create regional IMPLAN models. IMPLAN models incorporate the mathematical formulae needed to conduct economic impact analyses for a broad range of projects and policies in the study areas for which the models have been developed. I-O multiplier data at the county level can also be purchased from the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis through its Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS) program. RIMS provides county-level multipliers to estimate how much a one-time or sustained change in economic activity in a particular region will affect industries located in the region. 8. Criteria 7: Level of Effort and Cost (§5.9(b)(7) !
Describe considerations of level of effort and cost, as applicable, and why any proposed alternative studies would not be sufficient to meet the stated Information needs.
The PAD did not propose any socioeconomic studies. The proposed study would include using data gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and Experiences Study and the purchase of I-O software and data. The total cost would be contingent on the billing rate arrangement with the Applicants' consultants (rate is not known).

Direct Replies To: Mark Bassett President, Nevada Northern Railway Foundation PO Box 150040 Ely, NV 89315 Email: president@nnry.com Comments to F.E.R.C. regarding Gridflex Energy, LLC Preliminary Permit for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project P-14851-00 The White Pine Waterpower LLC proposed project was presented to the White Pine County Commission at a public hearing on September 1, 2020. As the authorized representative of the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, I attended the hearing. The presentation for the project stated that all of the land for the project would be on BLM land. That is incorrect. The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation’s track and right-of-way crosses the proposed lower reservoir on non-BLM land. The Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark is jointly owned by the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation. At the location of the proposed lower reservoir, the railroad track is jointly owned by the City and the Foundation while the land of the right-of-way is owned by the City of Ely. The railroad right-of-way was transferred to the City of Ely by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, Public Law 109-59. That transfer converted the land to real property owned by the City of Ely. It is no longer BLM land. At the public hearing when I personally raised the point of land ownership, Gridflex Energy admitted this was correct and that the railroad right-of-way was no longer BLM land. In previous conversations with Gridflex, they had informed me that the railroad right-of-way crossed their proposed lower reservoir. The proposed remediation was that railroad right-of-way and track be moved and built on a seven mile detour below the proposed lower reservoir. This is unacceptable to the Foundation and Gridflex was informed of this decision. It was then proposed that the railroad right-ofway and railroad track be located above the proposed lower reservoir. Gridflex has not yet presented this option to the Foundation in detail. The railroad track being discussed is referred to as the HiLine Branch by the railroad and was constructed in 1908 for ore trains going to the smelter in the Town of McGill. When the railroad was transferred to the City of Ely and the Foundation in a series of gifting between 1984-1988, the rights to operate on that section transferred to the two entities. In the aforementioned Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, Public Law 109-59, the BLM easement was transferred as real property to the City of Ely. The HiLine Branch supports the activities of the Foundation which operates the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark and trains. It is the mission of the Foundation to preserve the historic railroad and interpret its history for the visitors to the site. As such, the Foundation operates numerous excursions on this line throughout the year.

The Foundation’s exceptionally popular Star Trains run on the HiLine Branch. These trains are a substantial source of revenue for the Foundation. They have received international and national media coverage. The latest story on the Star Trains was on the CBS This Morning series American Wonders. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nevadas-great-basin-star-train-american-wonders/ One of the reasons that the Star Trains are so popular was mentioned in the American Wonders episode, “The tracks of the Nevada Northern Railway have existed for over a hundred years – and to this day, they're about the only man-made objects in sight.” It is this remoteness that brings visitors from around the world and from all over of the United States to Ely Nevada to ride the Nevada Northern Railway’s Star Trains. Further, the fact that trains are still running on the original right-of-way has earned the railroad the reputation for being the most complete turn-of-the-century steam railroad in the country. Moving the railroad tracks would adversely impact this experience to the financial determent of the Foundation. Furthermore, since the railroad has existed in situ for over a century and Gridflex Energy’s proposed lower reservoir is still in the design phase. The lower reservoir could be designed to be built below the existing railroad right-of-way and railroad tracks. Therefore the railroad right-of-way and railroad tracks would not need to be moved and would be left in their historic location. Finally, the Foundation requests that F.E.R.C. have a study commissioned that examines whether the railroad-right-way and railroad track needs to be moved. If a thorough study is done to satisfy the needs of the City and the Foundation demonstrates that the railroad right-of-way and railroad tracks need to be moved, a land swap will have to be authorized by the BLM to transfer the land and right-of-way to the City of Ely as real property. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, Public Law 109-59 converted all of the railroad’s rights-of way from BLM easements to real property. The Foundation will accept nothing less than if the railroad right-of-way and railroad track has to move that it moves on to non-BLM land. Secondly, the Foundation also requests that economic, visitor, environmental and historical impact studies be done examining the impacts of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project location on the visitor experience to the Nevada Northern Railway, our programs that happen on the HiLine and the preservation of historic property. Should the need for the movement of the right-of-way be deemed necessary, a full study of the alternate routes will all potential impacts to railway operations, economics and visitation will be required by the Foundation before a final decision is made on the placement of the new railroad rightof-way and railroad track.
From: Rochon, Kamil <Kamil.Rochon@hdrinc.com> Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2020 9:58 AM To: Gilbert, Lisa C <lgilbert@blm.gov> Cc: Risse, Danielle <Danielle.Risse@hdrinc.com> Subject: Additional Geotech area Hi Lisa, Attached is the Fieldwork Authorization (FWA) Request and the associated maps for an area that was recently added to the Gridflix GeoTech project. This area located northeast of Ely, Nevada and will be using existing roads that were surveyed in October (under FWA approved 10/4/2020), thus the access roads are not shown on the attached maps and are not included in this FWA request. At this time, we are anticipating conducting fieldwork for this area December 12-14, 2020. Although the proposed work is for geophysical investigations, the work is considered to be under the umbrella of the overall geotechnical preparation for the White Pine Pumped Storage and will be included in the geotechnical report that will be submitted to the BLM (report #8111 NV-04-21-2274B). If there are any questions on this request, please let me, or Danielle Risse know. Thank you, Kamil Rochon, B.S. Cultural Resources Specialist

4. Legal Description of Project Area (Attach Map) Geotech Project (Additional Areas): T17N, R64E – SE corner of Section 8, SE corner of Section 9, NW corner of Section 16, and NE corner of section 17. 5. Project Proponent: GridFlex, LLC/White Pine Waterpower, LLC Type of Project: The proponent is proposing to conduct a geophysical investigation in support of their larger proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project, a hydroelectric project. The geophysical investigation consist of four seismic refraction surveys with survey lines ranging from 2,554 ft to 3,713 ft in length. Along each survey line, geophones will be temporarily inserted into the ground (penetrating no more than 3 in) during the survey. Additionally seismic waves will be induced along the survey line via a hammer striking a metal plate place on the ground surface. Access will be gained via existing dirt roads that may require some minimal improvements (e.g., grading), along with some overland travel where no road exists. The access routes to/from the project location will be the same as previously surveyed for the Gridflex Geotech Project, and so are not included in the attached maps and will not be reinvestigated for the present effort. The cultural resources work proposed includes a Class III inventory (including a records search and field survey) of the geophysical investigation areas. The survey area is entirely on lands managed by the BLM, consisting of 26.41 acres in total (covering 50 feet to either side of the geophysical survey lines for maneuverability). 6. Nature of Proposed Cultural Resources Work (check all that apply to this authorization): |X| Records Search only (no field work) |X| Non-Collection Survey/Recordation | | Survey and Limited Testing | | Excavation and/or Removal . 7.

From: Ruth, Monica Sent: Monday, November 9, 2020 2:06 PM To: 'shania marques' <sjmarquesest@gmail.com> Cc: Risse, Danielle <Danielle.Risse@hdrinc.com> Subject: White Pine Gridflex GeoTech and Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project Number 14951-001 Hi Shania, Danielle asked that I send you some information on the White Pine Gridflex GeoTech and Pumped Storage Project, as a follow-up to your meeting a couple of weeks ago. I’ve attached the following files for your use: • • • •
01_Pumped Storage_Project_Vicinity.pdf 02_Pumped Storage_Project_Location_24k.pdf 03_White Pine PAD and NOI Notice.pdf 04_Licensing Processes _ FERC.pdf
The first two files are maps of the Project area. One shows the vicinity of the Project with the Project boundary shown, and the other is a set of maps that show the Project boundary a bit closer, as well as land ownership information, on a topographic map background. I have also attached the statement of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announcing the Notice of Intent (NOI) and Preliminary Application Document (PAD) issued July 13, 2020. This document includes brief descriptions of the Project name, the FERC project number (also shown in this email’s subject line), the license applicant information, the FERC contact, as well as information on how to access the PAD in the FERC eLibrary. The NOI also included a Process Plan and Schedule that anticipates certain field studies be performed in 2020 and 2021, and filing of the Draft License Application (DLA) in 2021 and the Final License Application (FLA) in early 2022. The PAD includes the anticipated schedule dates as well as currently planned studies for the Project. In the NOI, you will see that FERC approved the applicant’s request to use the traditional licensing process (TLP). To find out more about the TLP, please take a look at FERC’s website: https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/hydropower/licensing/licensing-processes#. I’ve also attached a PDF of this webpage if the link doesn’t work for some reason. I’ve pasted the anticipated key schedule dates of the Project from the PAD for ease of access:
If you have any questions about how to navigate the eLibrary, please let me know and I will do my best to assist! I know you mentioned that the Duckwater Shoshone and Goshute Nation may be interested in participating in the consultation process and studies and I see that FERC issued letters to the respective Chairpersons. Do you have any contact information that you’d recommend we use during correspondence/consultation efforts? I did find an email for Lorin Watson with the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe at lorinwatson43@yahoo.com. Is this the best way to get a hold of them for the project? Please feel free to call/email with any questions. Thank you, Monica Monica Ruth

Subject: Consultation with the Confederated Tribes of the Goshutes Reservation. On September 15, 2020, I left a message on the Tribe’s answering machine message box for Rupert Steele, Chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Goshutes Reservation, to call me back to see if the Tribe would like to consult with us involving the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. On September 22, 2020, I contacted the tribal receptionist, and she gave me Rupert’s cell phone number and I called him. Rupert said that the proposed project was in their tribal territory and they’d be interested in talking with us. I also said I would email the letter we sent him on August 11, 2020 requesting consultation with the Tribe and detailing a little bit about the proposed project. Rupert said once he reviewed the letter, and talked it over with his staff, he would get back with me. In my email back to Rupert, I also said, if he liked, we could set up a telephone conference with him and his staff to go over the proposed project. On October 6, 2020, I email Rupert again to recheck on arranging a telephone conference with him and his staff on the proposed project. Since then, I have not heard back from Rupert.

Subject: Consultation with the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians. On September 15, 2020, I contacted Susan, receptionist with the Te-Moak Tribe, and left a message with her for Joseph Holley, Chairman of the TeMoak Tribe, to call me back in regards to see if the Tribe would be interested in talking with us about the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. I called again on September 22, 2020, but the answering machine message box was full. I called the next day, but the message box was still full. I called again on October 6, 2020 and was able to talk to Susan again, and she transferred me to Joseph’s answering machine message box, where I left a message for him to call me back. Since then, I have not heard back from Joseph.

So I have serialized it but before I can go much further, I need to get cost recovery set up for this. As you can imagine, its probably going to be an EA just because of the Roads if nothing else. Are you guys planning on using a contractor for the NEPA or do I need to calculate it based on us getting an ID team together to do the NEPA?

Dear Mr. Hines, On behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant), please find attached a Land Use Permit Application, Form 2920 (Application) and supporting materials for an Exploratory Geotechnical Program (Proposed Activity) associated with the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Attached is an electronic version of the Application package along with the associated GIS shapefiles for your review. Per our recent conversation I understand that the Bristlecone BLM office has recently transitioned to “virtual” status. Please advise on further considerations for your team’s review of these materials and my team and I will look forward to coordinating as necessary. I’ve included in Cc my development team, some of whom you have met in-person during prior preapplication consultations with your office. We appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to working with you on this project. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any

Understood that getting a cost recovery agreement setup is going to be a next step for your team to proceed with further work. As for any required NEPA document, we would expect to use our consultant HDR Inc. HDR helped prepare the 2920 application materials and have completed the cultural and wildlife survey work associated with this 2920 permit. HDR is also (as you’ll note from the SF-299 application for the project) supporting our FERC Licensing efforts. They will be helping to coordinate our BLM efforts as well.
Anyway, I think the best next step would be to schedule an introductory call where we could have you + rPlus + HDR folks on the phone to talk through the best next steps. We are keenly interested in the best path forward that would allow us to mobilize drilling activities early next year and look forward to working with you on it. Of course, I also realize it’s the holiday period and generally a slow time of year. That said, feel free to call me any time and let me know if there’s a day that works to connect. Best, Spencer

I am hopeful. I plan on prescoping next week and I have an initial cost recovery decision over to my field manager to sign off on when he gets back in. Once I get those things accomplished and the accounts set up then I am hoping to set that meeting up. I had initially planned on doing much of that next week, but I was out a couple days with a stupid sinus infection last week so I didn’t get it to management in time to sign off on before they went on annual leave.

The State Director’s decision is the final administrative decision. H. Reimbursable funds, once obligated by BLM, are not refundable and will not be made refundable by termination of the Project, withdrawal of the Application, or non-issuance of a right-ofway grant. I. In accordance with 43 CFR 2804.27(a), if BLM denies the Application, Applicant must reimburse BLM for all costs BLM incurred in processing the Application. If the Applicant withdraws Cost Reimbursement Agreement, Page 3 of 8
the application, Applicant will reimburse BLM for processing costs incurred by BLM in closing its review of the Application and which cannot reasonably be avoided after BLM receives written notice of withdrawal of the Application. J. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require BLM to maintain books, records, or documents other than those usually maintained by them, provided that such books, records, and documents reasonably segregate and identify the costs for which reimbursement is required and comply with generally accepted accounting practices for such documentation. K. The designated points of contact with whom each party to this Agreement will communicate concerning any aspect of this Agreement are as follows: Party Contact Address Phone Number e-mail address

Reference the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage‐Grouse Management Plan, Duck Creek Basin Fuels Reduction and Habitat Improvement project, RMP for Travel and Transportation management BLM will send an EA template to use after the IDT team reviews the 2029 application – once they know the kind of impacts to be considered The next round of drilling locations cannot be determined until the first round is evaluated. Questions about streamlining the next round of drilling reviews were discussed, but this will likely be another EA.
Next steps: 1. BLM to finalize cost recovery and get CR number to IDT team and forward the 2920 application for their review 2. Schedule an EA kick‐off call. Discuss EA schedule in that call and request BLM's preferred template for the project

Hi Nancy, RPlus and HDR are currently reviewing known sage grouse leks and habitat in relation to the proposed White Pine Pump Storage project and we wanted to share the attached figure with you. After you are able to look it over would you be available for a call to discuss potential issues / mitigation etc associated with both a pending 2920 application for drilling the 3 bore holes and the broader full storage project? We appreciate your help. Thanks, Pam Pam McWharter Sr. Environmental Project Manager HDR 1670 Broadway, Suite 3400 Denver, CO 80202 D 303.764.1570 M 303.570.5470 pamela.mcwharter@hdrinc.com hdrinc.com/follow-us

.
One note I did want to make is that you mentioned one of the roads within our project area might be the Old Lincoln Hwy. I looked into this and couldn’t find anything suggesting this is the case. All the historic maps show the road where the current highway is now. I did find some archival info that suggested the Lincoln Hwy was realigned to the west, but this realignment occurred north of McGill. If you have any information otherwise, please let me know and I can take another look at the historic roads we recorded. Thank you, Danielle Danielle Risse, M.A.

White Pine Pump Storage Project and Sage Grouse Conversation March 2nd, 2021, 1:00 PM (PT) Webex Call Meeting Attendees: BLM Nancy Herms
rPlus Spencer Paxson Brett Burgess Cliff Smith Luigi Resta
HDR Pam McWharter Devin Malkin Maggie Cummings Ian Cain
Introductions and project overview Team introductions Project description Nancy Herms is the BLM Wildlife Biologist for the White Pine Project. She had heard of the project but has not reviewed the 2920 application or preliminary POD. Her reviews are pending a cost code provided to BLM staff from the approved cost recovery agreement. Overall habitat acreages Nancy noted that the sage grouse mapping should be from the 2015 Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA). The project should stay below the 3% disturbance cap. The 3% will be out of the total biological significant unit (BSU) large population boundaries. Nancy thought the project would be classified as a right-or-way under lands and realty. For this category the disturbance cap is 3%. Leks in proximity to project footprint Nancy noted that the BLM LUPA prescribes that projects should be located outside of a 3.1 mile buffer from a lek. For transmission lines the buffer is 2 miles. There should be no roads, infrastructure, or surface disturbance within 3.1 miles of a lek. To place a project within the buffer, the BLM would require a good justification. Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA) in proximity to project footprint Nancy noted again that sage grouse habitat mapping should be from the 2015 LUPA. Project areas within the PHMA footprint would need to be evaluated on a case by case basis. Devin Malkin and Pam McWharter asked about options for compensatory mitigation, variances, or land use plan amendments. Nancy noted that she had not worked on a large project like this before and does not have experience with deviating from the LUPA. Bore Hole Drilling (BH-1, BH-2, BH-3)
March 2nd, 2021
Sage Grouse Conversation
Nancy had not reviewed the 2920 application. The team looked at the preliminary mapping prepared for this discussion that depicted the bore hole locations. Nancy said that activities such as bore holes would still need to comply with the buffers within the 2015 LUPA. Next steps Maggie Cummings, HDRs wildlife biologist, will coordinate directly with Nancy and review the project in conjunction with the 2015 LUPA on an issue by issue basis. The HDR team will set up another meeting with the BLM management (once the BLM staff has their charge code) to discuss how best to handle deviations from the 2015 LUPA.

Dear Stakeholders: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water for construction of the Project and to initially fill the reservoir system will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. Following construction, the make-up water for evaporative loss will come from groundwater drawn under a permit held by White Pine acquired from White Pine County. White Pine filed a Notice of Intent to File License Application, Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States, on May 15, 2020. FERC approved the use of the TLP on July 13, 2020. A Joint Meeting and site tour were held on September 1, 2020 to discuss the Project. Comments on the PAD and/or study requests were requested by October 31, 2020. White Pine received 11 comment and/or study request letters from interested agencies or stakeholders. After review of the study requests and comments, White Pine is proposing the following studies: •
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study;
•
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study;
•
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment;
•
Recreation Resources Study;
•
Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study;
•
Cultural Resources Study; and
•
Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study.
White Pine plans to file a Draft License Application (DLA) in December 2021 incorporating the results of the proposed studies. To meet this milestone, White Pine intends to conduct the studies listed above in 2021. White Pine requests stakeholders provide via email an indication of concurrence with the methodologies or additional comments by March 24, 2021.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect greater sagegrouse. These effects may be direct (e.g., result of ground-disturbing activities) or indirect (e.g., due to noise or addition of tall structures). The goal of this study is to assess the direct and indirect effects the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The study will include: • • • •
Noise impact analysis; Greater sage-grouse lek monitoring; Conservation Credit System analysis; and Proximity analysis of the Project to nearby greater sage-grouse leks.
The overall goal of this study is to conduct a fine-scale outcome-based baseline assessment of greater sage-grouse habitat and lek status nearby and within the study area. The study will also assess potential direct and indirect impacts the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat.

3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information can be found in the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For the PAD, existing geospatial information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) was reviewed to identify and describe greater sage-grouse habitat within the study area, as well as the proximity of the study area to greater sage-grouse leks. These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in potential impacts to greater sage-grouse and greater sage-grouse habitat. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of greater sage-grouse habitat and consultation with NDOW suggests that habitat in the vicinity of the Project is primarily classified as Priority habitat management area (PHMA) and General habitat management area (GHMA) by the Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Program. Other habitat management areas (OHMA) also exist in the vicinity of the Project. There are three known greater sage-grouse lek sites in the vicinity of the Project area shown in Table 1 below.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Noise Impact Analysis, Greater-Sage Grouse lek monitoring, Conservation Credit System Analysis and habitat suitability, and a lek proximity analysis.
Task 1 – Noise Impact Analysis A noise impact study will be completed to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction of the Project. The noise impact study will be done in accordance with Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management [BLM] 2015). The Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment stipulates that noise as a result of the Project will not increase above 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking. White Pine will coordinate with the BLM to determine the anticipated noise levels as a result of construction, operations, and maintenance of the Project and will incorporate the anticipated noise Page 2
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Greater Sage-grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan
levels into the noise model. Locations for noise monitors will also be discussed with the BLM prior to the field work. Field work to collect noise measurements will follow Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2015). Measurements will be collected at multiple locations between each noise source and the lekking areas, during times when noise exposure would most likely affect greater sage-grouse. Where quiet conditions exist, empirical sampling and ambient noise modeling will be used to establish baseline ambient values. Project-related noise levels will be calculated with a noise model and will be compared to the measured noise levels. The noise analysis results will be reported in a draft and final noise analysis report.
Task 2 – Greater Sage-grouse Lek Monitoring White Pine will complete sage-grouse lek monitoring during the spring of 2021 for three leks that are located within the vicinity of the Project. Field biologists will follow the NDOW Sage-Grouse Lek Count Protocol and will conduct counts at each lek four times during breeding season, between March 1 and May 15, 2021. During each lek count, if birds are present, biologists will collect a minimum of three counts at 15-minute intervals. If no birds are observed, biologists will search the lekking areas on foot for sage-grouse sign. The results of the lek monitoring will be reported in a draft and final 2021 Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring Results report.
Task 3 – Conservation Credit System (CCS) Analysis and Habitat Suitability The Project is located on public and private lands in greater sage-grouse habitat and is, therefore, required to enroll in the credit system established by the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (NRS 232.162). The CCS analyzes the direct and indirect adverse impacts that a development project could have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The results of this analysis will be used to determine both the debits incurred by the Project, and potential credits available to offset the debits. During the field data collection, parameters will also be collected to characterize habitat suitability within the direct footprint of the project area. These parameters are used to determine the site-scale habitat suitability for breeding, late-brood rearing, and winter habitat, and are defined in the BLM’s Sage-grouse Habitat Assessment Framework (Stiver et al 2015). Results of the habitat suitability assessment will be presented in a technical memo.
Debit Project Analysis White Pine will coordinate with the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) to complete a debit evaluation for the Project. The debit project will begin by completing the Debit Project Review Form and submitting it to the SETT for use throughout the life of the debit project. The CCS User’s Guide will be followed to complete the desktop analysis of the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT) using a geographic information system (GIS). These steps include defining a debit project area based upon the proposed Project surface disturbance, identifying existing anthropogenic disturbances, delineating map units, and generating transect locations for the field survey that will be submitted to the SETT for review. The SETT will provide the number and location of transects that will need to be completed to get an accurate site scale score for the Debit Project Calculator. Transects will consist of 50 meter (m) transects upon which biologists will collect data for vegetation coverage and diversity using the line intercept method and Daubenmire plots. Field work will occur during the 2021 growing season, from Page 3
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Greater Sage-grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan
approximately April 15 to July 15, 2021, depending on weather and ground conditions. The latest CCS User’s Guide will be followed for collecting field data. Transect locations will be accessed by driving as close as possible to the survey transects using existing roads and then hiking on foot to survey locations to avoid sagebrush disturbance. Field data will be collected using iPads with submeter GPS receivers to record data on digital versions of the CCS field forms. Following the completion of field work, the transect data will be entered into the Debit Project Calculator to determine the number of debits that the Project is estimated to incur. The estimated debits that are a result of this analysis will be valid for 5 years. The field data and debit calculator will be packaged for submittal to the SETT by finalizing transect datasheets, transect photographs, map unit datasheets, and other applicable forms and shapefiles.
Credit Project Estimate White Pine will coordinate with the SETT to determine if there are any potential credit project opportunities within the vicinity of the Project. If it is determined that a credit project opportunity is available, a credit project analysis will be initiated and conducted following the CCS User’s Guide. Credits may also be available through the open marketplace to offset the debits the Project may incur.
Task 4 – Lek Proximity Analysis A proximity analysis for three greater sage-grouse leks near the Project will be completed with GIS to model the line of sight from the nearest sage-grouse lek towards the Project. The Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2015) stipulates that no new surface disturbance may occur within 3 miles of a lek within PHMA; however, this may be subject to change according to ground conditions, such as topographic features. The proximity analysis will model the line of sight and will incorporate surrounding ground conditions within the Project vicinity. Results of the proximity analysis will be delivered in a map set.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning ................................................................................................ February – March 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................. March– July 2021 Study Report Preparation .......................................................................August – October 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report. The Report will be incorporated into the Draft License Application.

3/09/2021
Dear Stakeholders: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water for construction of the Project and to initially fill the reservoir system will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. Following construction, the make-up water for evaporative loss will come from groundwater drawn under a permit held by White Pine acquired from White Pine County. White Pine filed a Notice of Intent to File License Application, Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States, on May 15, 2020. FERC approved the use of the TLP on July 13, 2020. A Joint Meeting and site tour were held on September 1, 2020 to discuss the Project. Comments on the PAD and/or study requests were requested by October 31, 2020. White Pine received 11 comment and/or study request letters from interested agencies or stakeholders. After review of the study requests and comments, White Pine is proposing the following studies: •
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study;
•
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study;
•
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment;
•
Recreation Resources Study;
•
Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study;
•
Cultural Resources Study; and
•
Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study.
White Pine plans to file a Draft License Application (DLA) in December 2021 incorporating the results of the proposed studies. To meet this milestone, White Pine intends to conduct the studies listed above in 2021. White Pine requests stakeholders provide via email an indication of concurrence with the methodologies or additional comments by April 9, 2021.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Brett Burgess at 307-797-3201 or bburgess@rplusenergies.com Sincerely,

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals The goal of this Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study (Study) is to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities and identify consistency with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions and with other relevant guidance as determined through consultation. The goals of this study are to: •
•
• •
Conduct an aesthetics inventory of proposed Project facility locations, including taking photographs from key viewing locations and developing photosimulation of proposed Project facilities. Present information on whether each proposed facility is consistent with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions. For facilities that are not consistent, determine what modifications, potentially including relocation, would be necessary to make the facilities consistent. Assess the feasibility of identified potential modifications.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information Lands in the Project vicinity are generally managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM designates Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes for all Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan
areas of BLM-administered lands to manage public lands in a manner which will protect the quality of the scenic and visual value of the land. The majority of BLM land in the Primary Facility Corridors is classified as Class II (517 acres) followed by Class III (395 acres) and a small portion of Class IV (5 acres) (BLM undated). Lands potentially affected by Project construction, operation, and maintenance are largely undeveloped. No formal studies documenting existing aesthetic or visual resource conditions are known to exist for the Study Area.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.To assess views of the Project, this study incorporates a 1, 5-, 10-, and 15-mile buffer surrounding the Project. Attachment 1 depicts the study area.
4.2
Study Methods
A visual assessment study will be conducted consisting of six tasks: 1. Identification of up to nine representative and critical key viewing locations; 2. An aesthetics inventory of locations where Project facilities may be constructed, including digital photographs from key viewing locations; 3. Photosimulation of proposed Project facilities as viewed from key viewing locations; 4. Information on whether proposed facilities are consistent with other identified relevant scenic goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions; 5. For facilities that are not consistent, determination of modifications necessary to make the facilities consistent; and 6. An assessment of the feasibility of identified potential modifications.
4.2.1
Identification of Key Viewing Locations
White Pine will conduct a viewshed analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment based on location and height of proposed Project facilities. The Key Observation Point (KOP) development process will be used to determine where potential visual impact locations will be considered for photosimulation. Photographs will be taken at each KOP to support assessment of the potential visual impact. Steps to determine the KOP locations will consist of: •
Choose locations with potential for visual impact (e.g., recreation trail, road, houses). This is usually along commonly traveled routes or at other key observation points.
•
Conduct preliminary line-of-sight and viewshed analysis in GIS. o
Conduct traditional “visibility analysis” GIS approach using site topography in ESRI ArcGIS extension Spatial Analyst and/or ESRI 3D Analyst to do the following:
Page 2
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan
Establish baseline conditions for visibility using binary (visible/not visible) technique;
Qualify or disqualify potential visual receptor locations; and
Cross-validate two-dimensional (2D) photosimulations, three-dimensional (3D) models, animations, or other deliverables that are by-product derivatives of the analysis.
Additionally, White Pine will consult with stakeholders to identify representative and critical viewing locations. Preliminary comments from the National Park Service (NPS) requested that visual impacts from Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) passengers on the HiLine Branch be reviewed as part of this study. This may include both daytime views of the facility from the train and nighttime views of the facility from the star-gazing platform used by the “Star Train.”
4.2.2
Project Facilities Inventory
White Pine will conduct a digital photographic inventory of proposed Project facility locations visible from KOPs. The physical characteristics of proposed Project facilities (including lighting and distance from key viewing areas) will be described in narrative form. The field work to collect facilities inventory data will entail qualified personnel operating Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to take photographs at each location. GPS location points will be recorded for each simulation viewpoint, preferably using a GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy, but at least 3-meter accuracy, to ensure repeatability. Multiple site photographs will be collected at each location using a tripod. Site photographs to be used in assessment will be correlated with x, y, z coordinates and heading angle. For each inventory point, the following information will be collected: •
•
•
4.2.3
GPS – accuracy for photosimulations should be within 3 feet (+or- 1 meter horizontal) o GPS model o PDOP and post-processing information Camera o Make, model o Camera lens information Ground truth o Confirm KOP based on logical on-site conditions o Field notes – time of day, atmospheric condition, heading of camera view
Photosimulation
The general procedure for creation of a photosimulation involves compositing a scale, geo-referenced model of existing and proposed conditions with a photograph. The camera data collected in the field is entered into software (e.g., 3d Studio Max, a product widely used for architectural visualization) that digitally replicates the 3D world at full scale. The computer simulation can vary in detail from a highly detailed architectural model of the project to a simple massing study lacking detail but representing the volume and dimensions of the project. Projects seen at a moderate distance, for instance, can be successfully simulated using a massing study because details cannot be discerned at a substantial distance. A closer view would justify a more-detailed simulation. Confirmation of scale and position of the computer rendering is often accomplished by installing marker poles on site at points correlating with the project plan to provide registration points. The preliminary computer image will simulate the Page 3
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan
project and poles, and the image will be positioned and scaled until the simulated poles overlay exactly those appearing in the underlying base photograph. GIS-based aerial photographs and topographic mapping is typically used to confirm locations. Use of a GIS spatial model combined with the GPS locations of each photograph provide a representation of the existing conditions to use as a base in the photosimulations. During the development of the GIS Spatial Model, the following metadata will be documented: • • • • • • • •
Source of the data; Date the data was generated and date the data was downloaded; Coordinate system of the data and the project; Known limitations of the topographic data; Process steps; Derivatives from the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) if any; Lineage of each input and process; and Elevation conversions.
Once the GIS Spatial Model is finalized, data from GIS will be exported to the appropriate file formats required to import the model into the preferred 3D software. Gather the following engineering design data and ensure that the data is to scale and in the local project coordinate system. • • • •
CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the existing study area; CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the proposed design; GIS files exported from the spatial model; and KOP Photographs with camera data.
Once imported into the 3D software, check that the imported data matches how it was represented in the originating software. For example, check the topography to ensure that the elevations are accurate and the scale of the aerial imagery. Next, begin setting up the 3D cameras at each location, accounting for the height of the tripod above ground. With the appropriate camera settings (focal length, film gate) loaded into each 3D camera, begin to align the camera to the photograph using existing data (CAD and/or GIS) to aid in the alignment. Once aligned and the appropriate lighting system is set up for the environment conditions, the render process of the proposed data out of V-Ray can begin, which will turn the proposed model into an image. The rendered image will then be overlaid on top of the photograph from the view location in PhotoShop or an equivalent photo-editing software. Inside of PhotoShop, the existing image will be modified and split into layers to allow the rendered image to be placed behind foreground elements and behind background elements.
4.2.4 •
•
Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing. White Pine will describe the impacts to the existing visual quality by analyzing and explaining if changes to the visual resources of the natural environments are compatible or incompatible with existing visual resources by land type. On BLM land, White Pine will analyze if the existing Page 4

•
•
visual condition is compatible with the Scenic Integrity Objectives (i.e., high, moderate, low, or very low) for the area. White Pine will determine the degree of impact and whether the impact is adverse, beneficial, or neutral. On BLM lands, White Pine will determine the scenic integrity level using the scenic integrity scale (i.e., very high, high, moderate, low, very low, and unacceptably low). White Pine will also identify any potential modifications to the Project facilities to comply with existing visual setting and direction.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning .......................................................................................................... January - March 2021 Study Season ........................................................................................................... April – July 2021 Study Report Preparation .................................................................August 2021 – November 2021 A description of the methods and findings will be included in the Report.

DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Pumped Storage, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse.

This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study plans for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals The construction, operation, and maintenance of the reservoirs and associated proposed transmission corridor has the potential to affect special-status plants or increase the potential for the spread of noxious weeds in Nevada. The goal of this study is to determine the potential occurrence of these species in all areas affected by Project construction and operation. Special-status plants are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); or (3) listed by the State of Nevada as critically endangered. Noxious weeds are plants defined as noxious weeds by the State of Nevada in Category A, B, or C (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2019). White Pine will assess the nature and degree of the Project’s likely effects on special-status plants and noxious weeds. These effects may be direct (for example, ground-disturbing activities such as mechanical or chemical clearing of vegetation or trampling of plants), indirect (for example, construction activity that results in erosion of adjacent land), or cumulative (caused by a Project activity in association with a non-Project activity, such as loss of habitat attributable to the introduction of invasive plants from a non-Project vector). The study will provide information to determine the extent to which certain Project activities may have the potential to adversely affect botanical resources. A Project effect may exist if both of the following occur: Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan
• •
A botanical resource is found to occur within the study area, as defined below in Section 4.1; and A specific Project activity has a reasonable possibility of having an adverse effect on the botanical resource found.
The goal of this study is to gather the information necessary to perform this analysis and evaluate the Project’s potential to adversely affect botanical resources.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information associated with the Project can be found in the Pre-Application Document (PAD) (White Pine 2020). Database queries for this Study Plan reviewed an approximate 5-mile buffer surrounding the proposed Project facilities, including the proposed transmission line corridor. According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the ESA are known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species have the potential to occur in White Pine County. As explained in Table 5.8-1 of the PAD, none of these are expected to occur in the study area because of a lack of required soils, habitat, or records in White Pine County. Table 1 lists the special-status species identified in the PAD that have the potential to occur in the transmission study area.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
The study approach will consist of four steps, as discussed in the following sections.
4.2.1
Step 1 – Gather Data and Prepare for Field Effort
White Pine will prepare maps for use by survey teams in the field. The maps will include aerial imagery and the study area boundary. Survey timing will be planned based on blooming periods and/or herbarium collection dates of species in the general area.
4.2.2
Step 2 – Conduct Field Surveys
The surveyors will conduct botanical resource surveys that follow the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). Field surveys will be conducted at the times of year when botanical resources potentially occurring in the study area are both evident and identifiable, generally during their flowering and/or fruiting period. It is expected that the first survey will occur in the late-spring and the second survey in mid-summer. Page 4
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan
Surveys will use a random meander technique and focus additional efforts in high-quality habitats or those with a higher probability of supporting special-status plants (for example, stream channels). Surveys will be floristic in nature with documentation of all species observed using a taxonomy and nomenclature standard of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System Thesaurus filter of the Intermountain Region Herbarium Network (Intermountain Region Herbarium Network 2019). Appropriate survey methods generally require multiple survey passes of suitable habitats.
4.2.2.1
Methods Specific to Special-status Plants
In the event occurrences of special-status plants are found in the study area, the following information will be collected: • •
• • • • •
4.2.2.2
Digital photographs (both large and small scale) to depict the species and its habitat (one set per species); If an occurrence is estimated to cover an area greater than 0.05 acre, surveyors will delineate the occurrence boundary using a handheld GPS, collecting either polygon data or sufficient point data such that a realistic polygon can be constructed from the point data using a geographic information system (GIS); For occurrences less than 0.05 acre in size, the location of the approximate center of the occurrence will be taken as point data using a handheld GPS unit; Estimated population total; A list of the three to five of the most common species in the immediate vicinity; A generalized soil description of the immediate area (for example, gravelly soils, streambed, limestone outcrop); and Level of disturbance in the immediate area.
Methods Specific to Noxious Weeds
In the event that State of Nevada designation A noxious weed plants, listed on Table 2, are found in the study area, surveyors will collect the following data to the edge of the occurrence, or to the edge of the study area if the occurrence goes beyond it: • •
• •
Digital photographs to depict the species and its habitat (one set per species); If an occurrence is estimated to cover an area greater than 0.05 acre, surveyors will delineate the occurrence boundary using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit, collecting either polygon data or sufficient point data such that a realistic polygon can be constructed from the point data using GIS; For occurrences less than 0.05 acre in size, the location of the approximate center of the occurrence will be taken as point data using a handheld GPS unit; and Estimated population total.
If a designation A noxious weed plant population is determined to be widespread throughout more than 5 percent of the study area, or occurs frequently in a specific habitat in the study area, that species will not have GPS data collected. Instead, a detailed description of that specie’s distribution will be recorded in field notes and included in the study report. State of Nevada designation B and C noxious weed species, if found, will be noted in field notes and described in the study report. Areas greater than 1 acre in size determined to have a high concentration of designation B or C noxious weed species will be delineated on field maps or on handheld GPS units and included in the study report. Page 5
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan
4.2.3
Step 3 – Compile Data and Perform Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Following field surveys, White Pine will develop separate GIS maps depicting special-status plants and noxious weed occurrences. Field data will then be subject to quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures, including spot-checks of transcription and comparison of GIS maps with field notes to verify locations of botanical resource occurrences.
4.2.4
Step 4 – Report Development
White Pine will prepare a report that includes study goals, methodology, and results. White Pine will make the report available to Relicensing Participants upon completion.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning ..................................................................................................... January – February 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................April – September 2021 Study Report Preparation ........................................................................ October – November 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report. The Report will be incorporated into the Draft License Application.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Cultural Resources Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Cultural Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals and Objectives The issuance of a license to White Pine by FERC is a federal undertaking subject to compliance with relevant federal historic preservation laws. In particular, as the lead federal agency for the undertaking, FERC must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq.), which requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. “Historic property means any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria” (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] §800.16(l)(1). Project construction, and operation and maintenance (O&M) have the potential to affect historic properties. As such, the goal of this Study is to assist FERC in meeting its compliance requirements under Section 106 of the NHPA, as amended, by determining if licensing of the Project will have an adverse effect on historic properties. The objective of this Study is to identify cultural resources 1 within the area of potential effects (APE), formulate a plan to evaluate their eligibility to the NRHP, if needed, and identify Project-related effects on those resources determined eligible. As defined in 36 1 For the purpose of this Study, “cultural resource” refers to any prehistoric or historic district, site,
building, structure, or object, regardless of its NRHP eligibility.
Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
CFR 800.16(d), the APE is “...the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historical properties, if any such properties exist.” As described below, the study area for this Study is the APE. As part of the license application process, White Pine requested and was granted designation as FERC’s non-federal representative for carrying out informal consultation pursuant to Section 106. 2 As such, White Pine will conduct informal consultation with Section 106 consulting parties throughout Study implementation. It is expected that consulting parties will include: Native American tribes; the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO); and other potentially interested parties. White Pine has identified the following Native American tribes as potential consulting parties: Rupert Steele, Tribal Chairman Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation Rodney Mike, Chairman Duckwater Shoshone Tribe Diana Buckner, Chairperson Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada Shania Marques, Cultural Representative Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada Joseph Holley, Chairman Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians This study focuses on the identification of archaeological and built environment (i.e., buildings and structures) cultural resources, along with engaging stakeholders regarding the identification of any Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) 3. Study results may be used in the development of terms or conditions of any license issued by FERC for the purpose of protecting or treating impacts to historic properties that would result from Project construction or O&M, or for the purpose of enhancing historic properties that would be affected by Project construction and O&M. These terms or conditions, which are referred to collectively as protection, mitigation, and enhancement (PM&E) measures, could include development of a Historic Properties Management Plan (HPMP)4 that would describe and implement PM&E measures for historic properties potentially affected by the Project. A HPMP is a plan for considering and managing effects on historic properties that may occur from construction and/or O&M activities and establishes a decision-making process for considering those effects. Because it is not possible to determine all of the effects of various activities that may occur over the course of a license, FERC typically requires, as a license requirement, that a licensee develop and implement a HPMP that considers and manages effects on historic properties throughout the term of the license. For hydropower licensing, FERC typically completes Section 106 by entering into a Programmatic Agreement (PA) or Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Advisory Council on 2 3

FERC document accession # 20200713-3032, filed 07/13/2020. A traditional cultural property (TCP) is a property that is significant because of its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that are rooted in that community’s history and are important in maintaining the cultural identity of the community. While not a part of this Study, the information developed by this and other relicensing studies may be used to develop a HPMP in consultation with interested parties, which would be included in the Final License Application.

Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the SHPO that typically requires the licensee to develop and implement a HPMP. Additionally, FERC requires that a licensee develop the HPMP in consultation with various other federal, state, tribal, and non-government parties that have interests in the project.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A summary of cultural resources information gathered for White Pine’s Pre-Application Document (PAD) is provided in the PAD filed with FERC on May 15, 2020 (White Pine 2020). The PAD described existing, relevant, and reasonably available information regarding cultural resources at the proposed reservoir locations, only. This information is provided below.
3.1
Background Research
In March 2020, a records search was conducted using Nevada State Historic Preservation Office’s (NSHPO) online database, Nevada Cultural Resources Information System (NVCRIS), to determine the presence of any known archaeological sites and projects within the areas of the proposed Project reservoirs and/or within the Primary Facility Corridors. In addition to the NVCRIS records, General Land Office (GLO) plats and other historic maps were reviewed to gain an understanding of historic period uses of the area and to identify potential historic sites that have not been previously recorded. The data received from NVCRIS consists of a total of five compliance-related archaeological surveys conducted around the proposed reservoir locations (Table 1). The research area for the PAD involves 974 acres, of which 400 acres have not been previously surveyed. While 59 percent of the PAD research area has been previously surveyed, all of these surveys were conducted 35 or more years ago and, therefore, do not meet current SHPO standards. Previous investigations included both block and linear surveys. The linear surveys were conducted in support of mineral and energy extraction. The proponents of the previous block surveys (circa 1966) were not identified.

No previously recorded cultural resources were identified during the previous surveys identified above within the proposed Project reservoir locations. Historic GLO and United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps depict historical railroad, road, and transmission line segments within the PAD research area. A review of historical maps depicts several unnamed north-south trending roads (in the direction of the Town of McGill) on the 1872 GLO plat for Township (T) 17N, Range (R) 64E within the PAD research area in Section 18 (Figure 1).

Two segments of a historic railroad, identified as the Nevada Northern Railroad, were depicted on the USGS 1956 1:125,000 Ely, Nevada topographic map in approximately the same location as the unnamed routes depicted on the 1872 GLO plat map (Figure 2). These segments are within Sections 17 and 18 within the western portion of the PAD research area.

Figure 2. Detail of 1956 USGS 1:125,000 Ely, Nevada Topographic map. The Nevada Northern Railroad was constructed in 1905 and 1906 to link copper mines to smelters in Ely and to the national railroad infrastructure (Nevada Northern Railway Museum 2006). The segments of the railroad within the PAD research area have not yet been evaluated, but the railyard and shops of the Nevada Northern Railway in nearby Ely, Nevada (approximately 5 miles to the south of the PAD research area) was designated a National Historic Landmark on Sept 27, 2006, and is listed on the NRHP (Nevada Northern Railway Museum 2006, NSHPO 2018). It is operated by the City of Ely and the White Pine Historical Foundation as a heritage museum and the tracks and rolling stock are part of the museum. The McGill Depot of the Nevada Northern Railway (approximately 3 miles north of the
Page 5
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
PAD research area) was listed on the NRHP in 2015 (NSHPO 2018). With construction of the Project, portions of the track would require relocation under the current Project configuration. White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process. A portion of US Route 30 (The Lincoln Highway) is located forty meters west of the PAD research area. This roadway was constructed in 1913 and extends north from Ely to McGill (Federal Highway Administration [FHWA] 2017a). The Lincoln Highway represents one of the first efforts to create a coast-to-coast highway, and was instrumental to the development of the nation’s automobile infrastructure (FHWA 2017a). The segment of the Lincoln Highway between Ely and McGill was incorporated into US 93 (The Great Basin Highway) constructed in 1926 (FHWA 2017b). US 93 was an early example of the consolidation of individually sponsored and constructed highways (e.g., Lincoln Highway) under a uniform system of naming and maintaining interstate highways (FHWA 2017b). This portion of US 93 is still in use. In addition to these resources, an unnamed road and an unnamed electrical transmission line are depicted on the 1957 GLO map within the PAD research area (Figure 3).

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
Additionally, the majority of the previous surveys took place over 35 years ago and, therefore, none of them meet current SHPO cultural resource survey standards. As such, this study plan includes completion of a records search of the entire proposed APE and will include a review of NVCRIS and BLM files as part of historic properties identification efforts. As stated in the PAD, the White Pine is not aware of any properties of traditional religious or cultural importance to Native American tribes in the Project vicinity. White Pine will engage with Native American tribes throughout the licensing process to identify historic properties of importance to the tribes in support of FERC and its Section 106 compliance.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The proposed study area is the APE for the Project licensing. White Pine has preliminarily identified the APE to consist of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each. As described in Step 1, below, White Pine will submit maps depicting the APE to the SHPO for formal review, comment, and concurrence. If Project-related effects are identified outside of the APE, White Pine will expand the APE to include these areas.
4.2
Study Methods
A Cultural Resources Study will be conducted consisting of four steps: 1. Obtain SHPO approval of APE and conduct archival research; 2. Conduct the Field Survey and Identification of Resources; 3. Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources; and 4. Reporting.
4.2.1
Step 1 – Obtain SHPO Approval of APE and Conduct Archival Research
As required under Section 106, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1), White Pine will submit maps depicting the APE to the SHPO for formal review, comment, and concurrence 5. Once approved, the maps and SHPO’s concurrence letter will be filed with FERC. White Pine may request that SHPO concur with a modified APE during the Study if it is determined that the Project will affect historic properties outside the previously SHPO-approved APE. White Pine has obtained existing, relevant, and reasonably available sources to assist in revealing data gaps important in identifying cultural resources. This information revealed previous surveys within the APE. White Pine will conduct additional archival research under this Study. This research may include the following repositories, if appropriate, as well as others identified during the Study to obtain additional information specific to cultural resources in the APE. The results of the archival research will serve as the basis for preparing the prehistoric and historic contexts by which any encountered

Participating tribes and agencies will be provided the opportunity to review and comment on the APE as part of consultation efforts related to this study plan. Page 7
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
resources in the APE may be understood and, if appropriate, evaluated for their potential listing in the NRHP. This research may include the following repositories and other sources of information: • • • • • • • • • •
Oral histories, as applicable The Nevada State Historical Society McGill Drugstore Museum Nevada Northern Railway Museum White Pine Public Museum White Pine County Library Federal Highway Administration NVCRIS Ely District Office of the BLM Other appropriate repositories identified during the research
White Pine will review and field check the archival data gathered during this Study for accuracy and completeness.
4.2.2
Step 2 - Conduct the Field Survey and Identification of Resources
Archaeological Field Survey Following completion of Step 1, White Pine will conduct a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the APE to verify locations of previously recorded cultural resources and to identify previously unknown cultural resources in the APE. Section 5.0 addresses the timeline for these activities. Qualified archaeologists and architectural historians who meet the Secretary of the Interior’s professional qualification standards will oversee data gathering during the field survey to ensure that data gathering techniques, documentation, and other efforts meet current professional standards. The survey will consist of crew members walking parallel transects spaced up to 30 meters (m) apart for ground surface inspection. In areas containing moderately dense vegetation or moderately steep terrain, the survey strategy may employ more widely spaced transects. Erosional cuts along washes and backdirt piles from burrowing animals will be examined for evidence of subsurface cultural remains. White Pine will not survey locations within the APE that it cannot safely access (e.g., locations containing dense vegetation or unsafe slopes); these areas will be identified in the Study report described below. Per standard practice, the survey will not require shovel testing or any other forms of ground-disturbing activities. White Pine will plot the areas examined during the field survey onto the appropriate USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic quadrangles. The field survey will follow the BLM Guidelines and Standards for Archaeological Inventory (BLM 2019), as well as meet all SHPO survey standards. Newly discovered cultural resources will be fully documented using the Nevada Intermountain Antiquities Computer System (IMACS) Form. Previously documented sites will be revisited and their current conditions recorded on updated IMACS Forms. Isolated finds will be documented and photographed, and their positions recorded. Archaeologists will create a sketch map to scale for newly discovered sites. Archaeological sites, historic built-environment resources (i.e., buildings, structures, and objects), and isolated occurrences recorded will be photographed using digital photography. White Pine will record the cultural resource locations using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The GPS data will be based on the North
Page 8
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) and utilize the Universal Transverse Mercator system. The mapped resource locations are confidential and White Pine will include them only in documents related to the Section 106 consultation and provide them only on a need-to-know basis to appropriate tribes and agencies (e.g., the ACHP, SHPO, BLM, and FERC).
Built Environment Inventory White Pine will undertake field inspection and documentation of any historic (i.e., 50 years old or older) built environment resources located within the APE. White Pine will record historic built-environment resources to meet current SHPO standards. This recordation will include digital color photography and sketch maps of individual features that show the relationship between buildings, structures, and objects. An Architectural Resources Assessment Form will be prepared for each recorded property. Inventory of built environment resources will follow the 2013 Nevada Architectural Survey and Inventory Guidelines (NSHPO 2013).
4.2.3
Step 3 – Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources
White Pine will use information gathered during the inventory to evaluate the eligibility of identified resources for inclusion in the NRHP, if possible. Under this Study, White Pine will evaluate for the NRHP any built resources and any archaeological sites in the APE for which the archival research and field survey provide adequate information to make the evaluation at the Class III inventory level of effort. Such evaluations will be assessed against specific criteria found at 36 CFR 60.4. Any site recordation or evaluation that requires additional fieldwork or research will occur outside of the current Study. During Step 2, as part of the field documentation, White Pine will document any potential Projectrelated effects to cultural resources observed. This information will be analyzed in Step 3. As required under 36 CFR § 800.5, White Pine will identify and assess, in consultation with the SHPO, tribes, and BLM, any adverse effects on historic properties or potential historic properties that would result from Project construction and/or O&M. Adverse effects are defined as follows: An adverse effect is found when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property's location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association. Consideration shall be given to all qualifying characteristics of a historic property, including those that may have been identified subsequent to the original evaluation of the property's eligibility for the National Register. Adverse effects may include reasonably foreseeable effects caused by the undertaking that may occur later in time, be farther removed in distance or be cumulative (36 CFR § 800.5(a)(1).
4.2.4
Step 4 - Reporting
White Pine will prepare a “privileged” report at the conclusion of the Study that includes the following sections: (1) Study Goals and Objectives, (2) Methods, and (3) Results. The report will include maps that clearly depict the following on USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps: the area examined, and the resources identified. The report will contain sensitive, confidential, and privileged information. As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process. White Pine will seek SHPO’s concurrence on
Page 9
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Culturual Resources Study Plan
NRHP eligibility evaluations conducted during the Study. Following SHPO concurrence on the report, the report will be filed with FERC with a designation as “privileged.” White Pine will also provide a summary of findings for purposes of the public licensing process that excludes sensitive, confidential, and privileged information.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Recreation Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • •
Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.
Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
3.0 Summary of Existing Information There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides. More broadly, there are recreation and tourism opportunities in the Project vicinity. The Primary Facility Corridors are within the Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely Field Office planning area and generally recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes offhighway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described in the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities (BLM 2007). The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual halfmarathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). The Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot are located in Ely. NNR offers excursions to the public for a fee (NNR undated). Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Primary Facility Corridors. There are three parks in McGill, which include a swimming pool and playfields. The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill (McGill Nevada 2016).
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of recreation facilities and resources within approximately 10 miles of the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. The Primary Facility Corridors include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
A Recreation Resources Study will be conducted consisting of three tasks: 1. Perform an outdoor recreation facility and resource inventory within the study area; 2. Estimate the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch; and 3. Reporting. Page 2
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
4.2.1
Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimate
White Pine will conduct an inventory to document the existing recreation facilities and resources within the study area. The inventory will include the following outdoor recreation facilities: • • • • • • • •
Timber Creek Group Picnic/Campground Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Bird Creek Campground East Creek Campground Cave Lake State Park Ward Mountain Campground/Picnic Site Berry Creek Campground Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot
White Pine will describe the type and location of each facility, the type of recreation provided (train excursions, camping, hunting, etc.), site capacity, estimated use levels (if available), and any future capital improvement or management plans for recreation facilities and resources potentially affected by the Project. Where possible, White Pine will obtain the information from available public records (e.g., satellite imagery, internet) or through telephone and email contact with recreation facility owners and operators. A field inventory will be conducted as needed to prepare a thorough inventory and reasonable use estimates.

The NNR visitor use assessment will collect visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age), perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine will communicate with NNR to obtain existing visitor data, including demographics, use estimates, and revenues. White Pine will supplement existing information through coordination with NNR to administer surveys on up to 10 representative NNR HiLine Branch excursions during 2021, with a goal of completing 100 surveys. Survey administrators will contact visitors during or immediately after their excursions. The survey instrument is designed to elicit information on visitors’ characteristics, and their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch excursions (Attachment 2). White Pine considered NPS’ Pool of Known Questions in developing the survey instrument (NPS 2020).
4.2.3
Reporting
Results of the facility inventory/use estimate and the NNR visitor use assessment will form the basis of the Recreation Study Report, to include: • •
Narrative and tabular description of recreation facilities and resources in the study area, including site capacity and use estimates or projections. Summary of NNR visitor demographics, perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine also proposes to conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the currently-proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Information from the visual and aesthetic study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment findings.

DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Pumped Storage, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species. The goal of this study is to characterize and describe the habitat types in the study area (defined below in Section 4.1 and shown in Attachment 1) and the potential for RTE wildlife species to occur in the study area and to identify and assess potential Project impacts to these resources. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); or (3) listed by the State of Nevada as critically endangered. This study will: • • • •
Develop a map of vegetation types and un-vegetated land covers in the study area; Develop a map of wildlife habitats (roughly corresponding to the vegetation types) in the study area; Identify the likelihood of presence of special-status wildlife species in each of the habitat types; and Note the occurrence of wildlife sightings during the course of the field work.
Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
White Pine will assess the nature and degree of the Project’s likely effects on RTE wildlife species. These effects may be direct (for example, ground-disturbing activities, such as mechanical or chemical clearing of vegetation or trampling of plants), indirect (for example, construction activity that results in erosion of adjacent land), or cumulative (that is, caused by a Project activity in association with a nonProject activity, such as loss of habitat attributable to the introduction of invasive plants from a nonProject vector). The study will provide information to determine the extent to which certain Project activities may have the potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources. A Project effect may exist if both of the following occur: • •
A RTE wildlife resource is found to occur in the study area, as defined in Section 4.1; and A specific Project activity has a reasonable possibility of having an adverse effect on the RTE wildlife resource found.
The goal of this study is to gather the information necessary to perform this analysis and evaluate the Project’s potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of the existing information associated with the Project can be found in the PreApplication Document (PAD) (White Pine 2020). The U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat map identified 8 habitat types identified in the study area, identified in Table 1 (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011).

Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar, but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada, but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors. Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops.

Habitat Sagebrush steppe. Nest in areas with relatively dense cover from big sagebrush. May use areas with rabbitbrush, greasewood, and grassy areas. Leks are located in clear areas such as broad ridgetops, grassy swales, dry lakebeds, and sometimes recently burned areas. Chick rearing areas include irrigated pastures, wet meadows, and alfalfa fields, in addition to sagebrush. Barren to sparsely vegetated sand beaches, dry salt flats in lagoons, dredge spoils deposited on beach or dune habitat, levees and flats at salt-evaporation ponds, river bars, along alkaline or saline lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs. Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows. Breed in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains. Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, scrub oak, and chaparral communities, and sometimes in pine forests; specialized for feeding on pine seeds.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
Near lakes, reservoirs, rivers, marshes, and coasts; scattered breeding occurrences in Northern Nevada.
Lanius ludovicianus
Open country with short vegetation and well-spaced shrubs or low trees, particularly those with spines or thorns.

Habitat Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. Open aspen, cottonwood, or pine woodlands with open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple dead trees and snags. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands. Montane forest with mature pines (preferably Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines), open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple cavities for nesting. Arid sagebrush steppe. In winter, occupies sagebrush shrublands similar to the breeding grounds, as well as a range of desert scrub habitats consisting mainly of saltbush and creosote.

Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krumholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to highelevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred. Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roostinghabitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyonjuniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1770 - 7,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter. Confined primarily to forested habitats. Found in woodland and riparian habitats; more commonly in mature forests. Found in coniferous and mixed deciduous/coniferous forests of pinyon juniper, subalpine fir, white fir, limber pine, aspen, cottonwood, and willow. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1,570-8,200 feet. ROOST HABITAT: Roosts almost exclusively in trees in summer.

Uses multiple roost sites, switching them frequently. Small groups and single animals will roost under exfoliating bark. Winter roosts include hollow trees, rock crevices, mines, caves, and houses. Also has been found roosting under leaf litter. Tree-associated species. Found primarily in forested upland habitats, as well as in gallery-forest riparian zones and agriculture habitats and in valley basins in pure stands of Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum). May occur in park and garden settings in urban areas. Current records indicate distribution between 1,870-8,270 feet; ROOST HABITAT: solitary; day roosts in trees, within foliage 10-40 feet above the ground in both coniferous and deciduous trees. Prefers loose sands and gravel. Found in shadscale scrub, sagebrush scrub, and alkali sink plant communities. May occur in sand dunes near the margins of their range. In central and northern part of the state, more common at valley bottoms (3,400-5,900 feet). Inhabits a variety of habitats including desert scrub, grasslands, sagebrush steppe, and blackbrush, greasewood, pinyon-juniper woodlands, pine-fir forests, agriculture, and urban areas. Current Nevada records indicate distribution between 1,600-9,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: roosts have been found in caves, mines, and trees. Common in pinyon-juniper and above, but also found in sagebrush and desert scrub habitats. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 2,300-10,100 feet. ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts in hollow trees, under exfoliating bark, crevices in small rock outcrops, and occasionally in mines, caves, and buildings. Night roosts have been found in caves, mines, and under bridges. Generally roost singly or in small groups. Found in a wide range of habitats from low desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forests. Found from upper elevation creosote bush desert to pinyon-juniper and white fir between 1,400-7,000 feet. ROOST HABITAT: day and night roosts in mines, caves, trees, and buildings.

Habitat Found throughout the state but more widespread and common in the northern half. Occurs from mid to high elevations. Absent from the low desert; found in pinyon-juniper, Joshua tree woodland, and montane coniferous forest habitats; occasionally found in Mojave and salt desert scrub, and blackbrush, mountainshrub, and sagebrush. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 930-3,420 meters; ROOST HABITAT: day roosts primarily in hollow trees, particularly large diameter snags or live trees with lightning scars; uses rock crevices, caves, mines, and buildings when available; caves and mines may be used for night roosts; hibernacula elsewhere are generally mines or caves. Occur in highest densities in montane shrub dominated communities. They are often associated with successional vegetation. They are often found on open south-facing slopes in winter. Browse on a wide variety of woody plants and graze on grasses and forbs. Alpine meadows, mountain slopes, and foothills. Like areas with rocky slopes that they can climb to evade predators. Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth, around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Normally associated with water, though may disperse long distances away from water to establish new territories. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter. Found through most of the state, ranging from low desert to high mountains in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, has been found at around 11,480 feet in the Sierra Nevada. ROOST HABITAT: selects a variety of day roosts including cliff faces, mines, caves, buildings, bridges, and hollow trees. Associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to friable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows, where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine will conduct an RTE Wildlife Species Assessment. The assessment will generate mapping of existing vegetation types and modeling of likely occurring wildlife species in the study area. Surveys targeting individual wildlife species are not included as part of this effort. A portion of this study was conducted in September 2020 focusing around the Project facilities, except the transmission corridor. The 2021 study will include the proposed transmission corridor and Project facilities that have been added or modified since September 2020.
4.2.1
Vegetation Mapping
In the field, vegetation types will be mapped on an aerial photograph at a scale of approximately 1 inch equals 250 feet (1″ = 250′) or as appropriate for local conditions. Where vegetation overlaps another type of mapping unit, such as a tree canopy over water or roads, the area will be mapped according to the uppermost layer of vegetation. A minimum mapping unit of 0.1 acre will be used when differentiating vegetation types. Some vegetation types can be mapped below the level of 0.1 acre, such as vegetation types typically associated with wetland features, at the discretion of the surveyor. For each vegetation type observed in the field, species composition and percent cover will be recorded on vegetation mapping forms. Nomenclature of vegetation types will follow that of GAP. If a vegetation type is recorded that does not conform to a described vegetation type, a new name will be created conforming to the general format of the GAP. General habitat condition will be assessed for each polygon using indicators such as level of disturbance, presence, and relative dominance of non-native species, and availability of habitat structures. Additionally, field surveyors will record observations of wildlife encountered during field work, with a focus on RTE wildlife species.
4.2.2
Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment
The RTE wildlife species identified in Table 2 will be sorted into groups based on similar habitat characteristics, except for species identified as unlikely to occur. Additionally, the following species have broad enough habitat requirements that they are tentatively considered to have suitable habitat in the entire study area and will not have discreet habitat mapping conducted; greater short-horned lizard, short-eared owl, Swainson’s hawk, loggerhead shrike, big brown bat, western small-footed myotis, long-eared myotis, fringed myotis, long-legged myotis, Brazilian free-tailed bat, and Botta’s pocket gopher. Specific habitat characteristics will be attached to each group, and the number of characteristics for each group will be identified and mapped in the field, a process called a habitat suitability evaluation. Maps will be created in coordination with a qualified wildlife biologist experienced with Nevada habitats to depict a map showing the potential of occurrence for each group of RTE wildlife species in the study area, called a habitat suitability index. This information will be combined with field data to describe the Page 11
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
potential for RTE wildlife use of the study area and for the Project to adversely affect special status wildlife or key RTE wildlife habitats.
4.2.3
Reporting
The locations of significant sightings or observations, such as raptor nests or sage-grouse leks, will be documented through the use of a Global Positioning System unit. Data collected will be compiled into a study area species list. In particular, areas of high potential for occurrences of RTE wildlife species will be delineated on field maps, included in figures, and noted in study reporting. Included with the study report will be a description and a map of areas with potential for BLM sensitive springsnails, as identified in Table 1. These areas will be identified and mapped during the study and will incorporate data collected during the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study. Per Management Action SS-9 identified in the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2009), all spring sources subject to impact would require a pre-construction survey to determine if springsnails are present. Following field efforts and data management, White Pine will prepare a report that includes study goals, methodology, results, and analysis of potential Project effects. Project reporting will be incorporated into White Pine’s Draft License Application.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Aquatic Resources Delineation Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Aquatic Resources Delineation Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals This document presents White Pine’s proposed Aquatic Resources Delineation Study that is designed to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USACE regulates discharges of fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS) under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A consideration for constructing the Project is the presence of WOUS, including wetlands. By federal law and associated policy, it is necessary to first avoid project impacts on these resources wherever practicable, minimize impacts that cannot be avoided and, in some cases, compensate for unavoidable impacts. WOUS, wetlands, and uplands (non-jurisdictional), as referenced in this study plan, are defined as follows: •
•
WOUS: The Clean Water Act (CWA) defines WOUS as “surface waters, including streams, streambeds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, arroyos, washes, and other ephemeral watercourses and wetlands” [33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 328.3(a)]. The jurisdictional limits of WOUS include: o In the absence of adjacent wetlands, CWA jurisdiction extends to the ordinary high water mark (OHWM); or o When adjacent wetlands are present, jurisdiction extends beyond the OHWM to the limits of the adjacent wetlands; and o When WOUS consist only of wetlands, jurisdiction extends to the limits of the wetlands. Wetlands: Wetlands are a subset of WOUS. The CWA defines wetlands as “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study Plan
•
support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions” [33 CFR Part 328.3(b)]. Note that according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 1987, 2008a), wetlands must possess the following three characteristics: (1) a vegetation community dominated by plant species that are typically adapted for life in saturated soils, (2) inundation or saturation of the soil during the growing season, and (3) soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions. Uplands: Non-water and non-wetland areas are called uplands.
The overall goal of this study is to prepare a baseline map of potential WOUS in the study area. This mapping information eventually will be used in White Pine’s license application and 404 permitting materials to assist in the assessment of potential impacts to WOUS from the proposed Project and to develop protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures, as appropriate.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information can be found in the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For the PAD, existing geospatial information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Federal Emergency Management Agency was reviewed to identify and describe WOUS, including wetlands, surface water, and drainages. These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in impacts to potential WOUS. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of aerial photographs and other available data suggests that the potential WOUS mapped within lands currently proposed for Project construction activities (with the exception of the transmission line corridor) consist of approximately 25 acres of potential wetland or riverine habitat, such as seasonally saturated emergent wetland, temporarily flooded riverine, or intermittently flooded riverine habitats.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Planning, Field Work, Mapping, and Reports.
Task 1 - Planning White Pine will review existing information to identify focus areas for field confirmation and confer with the USACE regarding field work locations and on-site review of field work by USACE staff. White Pine’s planning efforts will prepare for field data collection, including measurements of the width, depth, flow direction, channel slope, substrate, estimation of flow frequency, and photographs looking
Page 2

upstream, downstream, and across the channel for a representative sampling of potential WOUS within the study area. Additionally, the planning task includes field work preparations such as logistics, safety planning, quality control planning, mobilizing equipment, creating field maps, and installing data on hand-held field computers.
Task 2 – Field Work The goal of the field program is to collect sufficient data to be able to map potential WOUS across the study area. A field team of two wetland scientists will use hand-held Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled computers to locate the proposed Project facilities and to field verify the existing mapping. Boundaries of WOUS will be determined using methods described in the 2008 Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (USACE 2008b). The OHWM is defined as “the line on the shore established by fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of the soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, or the presence of litter and debris” [33 CFR Part 328.3]. Soil and geomorphic indicators present below, at, or above the OHWM will be investigated across the study area and marked on aerial photography field maps. Field teams will also collect additional data in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 1987, 2008a) in locations that exhibit wetland characteristics, as necessary. Scientists may also collect additional data in areas that are difficult to interpret from aerial imagery. The field team will collect approximately 10 data points per day, continuing to sample areas until the study area can be mapped by photo-interpretation. Upland areas will also be sampled to document these areas as non-jurisdictional. Data collection points will include photographs of indicators of OHWM, vegetation, soils, and hydrology parameters; National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)codes, and notes on the presence or absence of wetlands indicators to support a wetland determination for sites will also be collected, as necessary.
Task 3 - Mapping GPS locations of field-visited sites will be overlaid on the aerial photography in GIS to identify the limits of the WOUS and the presence of wetlands in the study area. Aerial photography signatures from these field-visited sites will then be extrapolated to similar locations throughout the study area and boundaries digitized into GIS. Boundaries of WOUS will be digitized onto aerial photography in GIS using the field maps, field investigation notes, and an on-screen review of recent and historical aerial photography. Wetlands, open water, and unvegetated areas with mud cracks, scour marks, sediment deposits, and cobble bars situated below the OHWM will be classified as potential WOUS. The mapping will be reviewed for Quality Control and revised, as needed, and incorporated into a Report.
Task 4 – Report The results of the field work and the mapping will be summarized in a Report. This Report will identify locations within the study area that may be subject to the jurisdiction of the USACE under authority of Section 404 of the CWA. The Report will follow the requirements for content using published guidelines for Aquatic Resources Delineations from the USACE Regulatory Division.

White Pine Pump Storage Project 2920 Application and NEPA Process Timeline Meeting March 18th, 2021, 10:30 AM (PT) Webex Call Meeting Attendees: BLM Jared Bybee Jason Hines Leslie Riley Nancy Herms
rPlus Spencer Paxson Brett Burgess Cliff Smith Luigi Resta
HDR Pam McWharter Devin Malkin Maggie Cummings Monica Peterson
Meeting Notes Team introductions • Project overview o A 2920 application was submitted in November. o rPlus currently has schedule plans for the 2920 to be completed by August of this year for the 3 bore holes. o The soil borings are less than 4 miles from 3 lek sites. • Permitting differentiation o The facility itself will require separate permitting from the boring and testing and therefore will need to be thought of as two separate projects. o rPlus does not need to withdraw their 2920 application as it does clarify the permit application is just for the soil borings. • Sage grouse management and access to soil borings o Active is 3 consecutive years or more. Requests for lek data is managed by NDOW should pull active leks and pending. They update the data annually. o Constructing new road is typically not consistent with guidance on the plan. Using existing disturbance is less of an issue but BLM staff will look to look at the mitigation plan to determine the rules for road disturbances. ▪ Borehole-3 (B-3) has a road that is new but there is an existing access/jeep trail they can use if it makes approval in sage grouse habitat easier. BLM recommends that. It is slightly off that road, but it may be able to be shifted a little closer to disturbed 2-tracks. ▪ B-2 uses existing roads and there are no issues. ▪ B-1 is tricky because there is no existing road to the east of the railroad tracks but there is one to the west. However, there is no exiting railroad crossing or approval to do so without one. • There could be City of Ely jurisdictional land on the access to B-1 and rPlus will investigate that boundary. ▪ rPlus can commit to staying within the 2-track footprint but not widening it but smoothing the existing road; maintaining it. • BLM will have to look further at the Sage Grouse Plan to help rPlus understand options for accessing B-1 as there is no feasible alternative currently. o Timing restrictions

An EA will be completed with the 2920 application. Again, due to the location of the project site, we are within the lek buffers identified in the ARMPA and therefore will need to conduct compensatory mitigation for the EA. This geotech project would be considered an Exploration project in the CCS, correct? We know the exact location for the bore holes, drill pads, and access roads, so I’ll be able to map proposed disturbance. We’re hoping to run just the desktop analysis for debits and not conduct transects in the field, as the 2920 application is expected to be approved by August 2021 and we’ll need to track down available credits. The project is in the WAFWA Zone III, East High Desert BSU, Schell/Antelope PMU. Thanks! Maggie Maggie Cummings

Hi Maggie, Yes if the drilling and road expansion is occurring as part of an exploration plan, then it would qualify as exploration in the HQT. If there is any energy development, operation or additional infrastructure in addition to the exploratory wells, then it would likely no longer qualify as exploration. It would be good to get a few more details on expected duration, traffic associated with access road, etc. to ensure we are within the criteria for exploration classification. But I think from what you are describing, this would be an exploration analysis. A desktop analysis for exploration is the route you would take. It is generally not recommend to collect field data for exploration projects. Thanks! Katie

Some of the disturbance is fairly straightforward, the powerline while being located in a corridor will still be analyzed as a new powerline. The underground pipeline would fall under a LROW classification. Access roads would be roads. The pump storage facility is a bit trickier because we don’t have categories that fit every type of project perfectly. But, as the project is a renewable energy project, it would best fit within the “Renewable” Type, however we don’t have a Subtype category to put it within. The closest category is the geothermal ancillary classification. We are currently working on additional categories to capture some projects that do not fall perfectly within our disturbance categories. However, in the meantime, I think using the geothermal ancillary classification will be the best bet for now, and if we make changes to those classifications we can re visit it again later. That being said, the buffer will very likely not be greater than 3km for these potential new categories, so from a field data collection standpoint you would be able to ensure a full data collection without missing any areas if we have additional categories in the near future. Thanks! Katie

One thing I wanted to clarify in a statement you made below: due to the location of the project site, we are within the lek buffers identified in the ARMPA and therefore will need to conduct compensatory mitigation for the EA. So that you know, this is not the qualifying reason the project will need to mitigate, for CCS, lek buffers don’t really have anything to do with a project needing to mitigate. It is simply whether a proposed project is located within mapped sage-grouse habitat (the USGS management categories map). BLM has its own stipulations, timing restrictions, etc. when reviewing projects, however our regulation is separate. Mapped habitat encompasses a much larger extent as compared to lek buffers. Just so that you know in case you have for example a project outside of a lek buffer, but in habitat, the CCS would still be required Hope that helps! Have a great weekend!

I’ve been stuck in the realm of going through the BLM’s Management Decisions to see where the project falls out of compliance with the ARMPA. We’ve been trying to work with them on the answer to “the project will not be in compliance, so what can we do?” and the most we’ve been able to get is “you’ll need to do compensatory mitigation” So that’s where my brain has been…. Thank you as always for being so responsive and helping us work through this. We will for sure have more questions. The client, rPlus, has also expressed the willingness to develop credits somewhere but I haven’t had a chance to really dive into this.

Dear Mr. Burgess: Please accept and carefully consider the following comments from the Center for Biological Diversity (the Center) regarding the proposed greater sage-grouse (sage-grouse or GRSG) studies for the White Pine Waterpower, LLC’s (White Pine) White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project). The Center is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection of native species and their habitats through science, policy, and environmental law. The Center has over 1.7 million members and supporters throughout Nevada and the United States, including supporters who live in White Pine County, and those who utilize public lands in and around the proposed Project site for recreation and other uses. The Center’s Nevada program focuses on the protection of wildlife and endangered species, the preservation of public lands, and the sustainability of Nevada’s groundwater resources. The development of renewable energy generation is a critical component of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, avoid the worst consequences of global warming, and to help states achieve renewable energy production targets. The Center strongly supports the development of renewable energy production and supports the generation of electricity from renewable sources where properly designed and sited. However, like any project, any proposed renewable energy project must be thoughtfully planned to minimize impacts to the environment and avoid impacts to sensitive species and habitats to the greatest extent possible through careful siting, planning, and design. Only by maintaining the highest environmental standards with regard to local impacts, and effects on species and habitats, can renewable energy production be truly sustainable. In general, the Center believes that White Pine’s proposed study design contains some key elements necessary for understating the project’s impacts on sage-grouse, but is ultimately insufficient. The proposed studies will not, by themselves, enable the project proponent, federal

and state decisionmakers, or the affected public to fully understand the project’s impacts on local or regional sage-grouse populations, or determine how those impacts can be most effectively avoided or mitigated. We recommend that White Pine take a more comprehensive and holistic view of potential impacts, particularly in light of recent pronounced declines in sage-grouse populations and loss of sage-grouse habitat in Nevada and across the West. To enable a more comprehensive and informative study, this letter will first briefly consider the habitat needs of sage-grouse and some of the threats to sage-grouse from energy development and infrastructure on public lands. It will then make recommendations on how White Pine should supplement its proposed study to better inform decisionmakers and the public. Throughout, this letter will rely on recommendations from the Interior Department’s National Technical Team (NTT), which were recently found by a federal court to be the “best available science concerning the sage-grouse.” Western Watersheds Project v. Bernhardt, No. 1:16-cv-00083-BLW (D. Idaho Feb. 11, 2021). Sage-Grouse Habitat Greater sage‐grouse depend on a variety of shrub‐steppe habitats throughout their life cycle, and are considered obligate users of several species of sagebrush. (NTT 2011) Both shrub cover and understory grass cover are important for sage-grouse nesting success and survival. (Id.) The NTT’s 2011 report emphasizes the importance of preserving large areas of undisturbed and unfragmented sagebrush habitat. According to NTT, “[s]age‐grouse populations have the greatest chance of persisting when landscapes are dominated by sagebrush and natural or human disturbances are minimal.” (Id.) Habitat connectivity is also critically important to sage-grouse conservation. Many populations of sage‐grouse migrate between seasonal ranges in response to habitat distribution (Connelly et al. 2004). Estimating an “average” home range for sage‐grouse is difficult due to the large variation in sage-grouse movements both within and among populations. (NTT 2011) Impacts From Development In general, human disturbance negatively impacts sage-grouse at both site and landscape scales. Human land uses, including agriculture, livestock grazing, energy development, roads, power lines, and even recreation have contributed both individually and cumulatively to sage-grouse population declines across the West. (Id.) The NTT report specifies that “land uses” and “anthropogenic disturbances” must “be managed below thresholds necessary to conserve not only local sage‐grouse populations, but sagebrush communities and landscapes as well.” (Id.) Because sage-grouse require large and connected patches of suitable habitat, sage-grouse conservation poses unique challenge to project development, especially with respect to linear features such as roads, powerlines, and rights-of-way. Roads and powerlines have already 2
Document Accession #: 20210323-5164
Filed Date: 03/23/2021
contributed significantly to sage-grouse habitat fragmentation, lek abandonment, and functional habitat loss. The NTT report notes that ninety-five percent of mapped sagebrush habitats are within 1.55 miles of a mapped road, and density of secondary roads exceeds 3.1 miles/247 acres in some regions (Id.) These road densities have likely increased since the report was published in 2011. Roads and similar features can have multiple impacts on sage-grouse including collision mortality, behavior changes, habitat fragmentation, spread of exotic species, and increased human access. (Id.) Sagegrouse may also avoid certain areas with otherwise suitable habitat because of noise from vehicle traffic. (Lyon and Anderson 2003) To limit these impacts, the NTT report recommends limiting road construction to realignments of existing routes, prohibiting the “upgrading” of existing routes, and restoring any roads not designated in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Travel Management Plan. (NTT 2011) Similar to roads, rights-of-way for powerlines, pipelines, and renewable energy projects can cause habitat loss, fragment habitat, and facilitate the spread of exotic species. (Gelbard and Belnap 2003) Further, sage-grouse may avoid powerlines because of increased predation risk. (NTT 2011) According to NTT, powerlines effectively influence at least 39 percent of the sage-grouse’s range, and deaths resulting from collisions with powerlines are a significant source of sage-grouse mortality in southeastern Idaho. (Id.) The NTT report recommended making priority sage-grouse habitat an “exclusion area” for federal right-of-way permits, and advised land managers to consider removing, burying, or modifying existing powerlines in priority areas. (Id.) General habitat should be an “avoidance area” for powerlines. (Id.) In addition, where new rights-of-way are necessary, they should be co-located with existing rights-of-way wherever possible. (Id.) Because hydroelectric power development is generally rare in arid sage-steppe habitats, there are no studies directly addressing the impacts of this kind of development on sage-grouse. However, studies on energy and mineral development in general suggest that industrialized human land uses can have significant, and potentially catastrophic impacts on sage-grouse populations. NTT states: “There is strong evidence from the literature to support that surface‐disturbing energy or mineral development within priority sage‐grouse habitats is not consistent with a goal to maintain or increase populations or distribution. None of the published science reports a positive influence of development on sage‐grouse populations or habitats.” (Id.) Impacts from energy development can radiate for significant distances. NTT found that not even a four-mile no surface occupancy (NSO) buffer for oil and gas leases would offset impacts from noise, traffic, and habitat fragmentation. (Id.) It therefore recommended that priority sage-grouse habitat be closed entirely to fluid mineral leasing, and surface occupancy prohibited in both priority habitats and winter concentration areas.

In light of these potentially severe impacts, it is critical that White Pine undertake detailed studies of sage-grouse habitat use in the project area, understand how this habitat relates to larger-scale sage-grouse population dynamics, and carefully consider the potential impacts of the project. Study Design White Pine proposes a study with four basic components: a noise impacts analysis, lek monitoring, a Conservation Credit System analysis, and a lek proximity analysis. White Pine further states that the study area will include “lands within the Primary Facility Corridors,” including “reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.” As an initial matter, the project area is far too small, and improperly constrained to the Project’s physical footprint. As discussed above, sage-grouse require landscape-scale protection, and the negative impacts from energy development can often be observed miles from the developed site itself. The noise, predation, avoidance, and habitat-fragmentation impacts from new facilities, roads, and rights-of-way could have impacts far from the project site, and those impacts must be acknowledged and understood to be properly avoided or mitigated. As NTT recommends: At the project level, a truly effective monitoring strategy will include measures as to how plant communities respond, how that relates to structural and other sage‐ grouse habitat requirements, and how sage‐grouse populations respond demographically. Quantitative data for habitat measurements should be collected that are sensitive to the land use change being proposed. Monitoring must occur over the proper time frames to evaluate temporal variation of important components of sage‐grouse habitats. A one-time study limited to a 200-foot area around the physical footprint of Project facilities is not sufficient to capture the full extent of impacts from the Project. The Center therefore recommends expanding the study area to include, at minimum, a six-mile buffer around project facilities. Ideally the study area should encompass the full migratory range of local sage-grouse populations. Determining the proper geographic range of the study will likely require consultation with relevant management agencies, such as the Nevada Department of Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and BLM. Noise The Center supports the noise impacts component of White Pine’s study plan. White Pine states that it will conduct a noise impacts study to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction, operations, and maintenance of the Project. The noise impact study will be done in accordance with Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan 4

Filed Date: 03/23/2021
Amendment (ARMPA), which specifies that noise from the project may not exceed 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking. White Pine further states that it will conduct monitoring to establish baseline ambient noise values. Empirical measurement of ambient noise levels is critically important to effective sage-grouse conservation. Further, noise monitoring should continue throughout the lifetime of the project to ensure that project operations do not result in habitat avoidance or lek abandonment over time. Lek Counts White Pine states that it intends to conduct lek counts during spring of 2021. This aspect of the study design fundamentally misunderstands the purpose and utility of lek counts. While the spring 2021 lek counts are certainly an essential to understanding the impacts of the project, it will require more than one year of data to fully understand the baseline pre-Project condition of the local sagegrouse population. As NTT explains, lek counts do not have any known relationship to population size, and thus are only useful insofar as they can reveal population trends over time. The Center therefore recommends that White Pine collect multiple years of lek count data so that trends can be discerned, outlier events accounted for, and the degree of statistical error determined. Apart from the main problem that a single year’s lek count conveys no useful information on the population’s overall health, relying on a single year of data substantially risks both over- and underestimating the project’s potential impacts. Impacts could be overestimated if the local population is already in a state of decline due to preexisting stressors such as wildfire or livestock grazing. On the other hand, impacts could be underestimated if in 2021, for whatever reason, few or no sage-grouse visit a lek that is otherwise active. Further, White Pine does not adequately explain how it determined the scope of its lek count study; it states only that leks “in the vicinity” of the Project will be counted. White Pine should specify what it considers to be in the project’s “vicinity.” As noted, impacts may manifest far from the project site, so counts should occur on any lek close enough to be potentially impacted. The Nevada/California ARMPA identifies a minimum “lek buffer” distance of 3.1 miles for linear features and energy infrastructure, and further states that this is on the “lower end” of scientific estimates. Habitat Suitability and Mitigation The scope and purpose of White Pine’s habitat suitability analysis are unclear from the study proposal. White Pine states that the results of the habitat suitability analysis will “will be used to determine both the debits incurred by the Project,” under Nevada’s conservation credit system (CCS), and “potential credits available to offset the debits.” This statement presents two separate issues. One is the adequacy of the habitat suitability or habitat quality assessment in general, and the other is the appropriateness of the CCS as a conservation and mitigation tool. These two issues will be dealt with separately. 5

First, regarding the adequacy of the assessment, White Pine intends to “characterize habitat suitability within the direct footprint of the project area,” suggesting both that it does not intend to examine potential impacts to habitat outside the Project’s direct footprint, and that it seeks to acquire offsite mitigation credits on a strict “acre-for-acre” basis. This is inconsistent with wellestablished science, which conclusively demonstrates that effective sage-grouse conservation requires evaluation of habitat impacts at both the site and landscape scale. (NTT 2011) Even at the site level, moreover, a strict “footprint” analysis is inadequate because human disturbance can cause impacts to sage-grouse some distance away. (Id.) For this reason, the habitat suitability analysis should be designed to enable consideration all impacts to suitable habitat, not just those due to direct disturbance or destruction within the Project’s footprint. These include but are not limited to noise impacts, habitat avoidance due to fragmentation, increased predation, increased wildfire risk, and spread of invasive species. (Id.) They also include any cumulative impacts with pre-existing authorized land uses such as livestock grazing, motorized recreation, roads and rights-of-way unrelated to the project, and mining. Properly evaluating such impacts requires a much broader, detailed, and inclusive study than White Pine has proposed. (Id.) The Center supports the use of peer-review and widely accepted survey methodologies such as BLM’s Sage-grouse Habitat Assessment Framework (Stiver et al. 2015). However, we believe that additional methods should be employed to capture the full landscape-scale impacts of the project. These include BLM’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy (Toevs 2011), which identifies “core indicators” for reporting “landscape level attributes.” (NTT 2011). To the extent that the project requires offsite mitigation, White Pine should explore a range of options in addition to Nevada’s conservation credit system (CCS). Any reliance on offsite mitigation should take into account the fact that most techniques for restoring or improving sagesteppe ecosystems are currently untested, unproven, and have thus far shown limited success in achieving the intended outcomes. (NTT 2011; Jones 2019). A federal court recently expressed doubt that a variety of “restoration” or “conservation” treatments conducted by BLM and private parties “will actually have a beneficial impact on [sage-grouse].” Survivors v. United States DOI, 321 F. Supp. 3d 1011, 1063 (N.D. Cal. 2018). The court quoted a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service paper stating, “[w]e are not aware of any study documenting a direct correlation between these treatments and sage-grouse population response[.]” (Id.) Meanwhile, a 2019 literature review found that most treatments had either negative or non-significant effects on sage-grouse. (Jones 2019) Nevada’s CCS system relies heavily on the kind of vegetation removal and seeding treatments examined in Desert Survivors and the Jones literature review. If White Pine takes its conservation obligations seriously, it should approach these off-site mitigation options critically, and seek solutions that actually provide tangible and demonstrable conservation benefits for sage-grouse. Some options include voluntary retirement and buy-out of federal grazing permits or leases, or 6

restoration and protection or riparian areas on federal public lands. It should also be noted that relying on offsite conservation actions does nothing to address the increasing fragmentation of sage-grouse habitat across the species’ range, or the increased wildfire risk that accompanies human development. This is likely why sage-grouse populations and habitat continue to be lost at an alarming rate despite the proliferation of collaborative, “market-based” mitigation schemes like CCS. Lek Buffers Regarding the ARMPA lek buffers, White Pine states that “[a] proximity analysis for three greater sage-grouse leks near the Project will be completed with GIS to model the line of sight from the nearest sage-grouse lek towards the Project,” and notes that the ARMPA lek buffers “may be subject to change according to ground conditions, such as topographic features.” This suggests that White Pine intends to seek an exemption from the ARMPA’s lek buffers based on digitallymodeled topographic features. We strongly recommend against this and urge White Pine to comply with the ARPMA’s generally applicable buffers. As noted, these buffers are on the “low end” of what the science recommends, and may therefore be considered an absolute bare minimum for effective conservation and mitigation. Further, the widespread granting of exemptions has led to a large aggregate loss of sage-grouse habitat across the West as energy development and associated infrastructure extend farther and farther into priority habitat areas. The commonplace granting of exemptions to the ARMPA’s design requirements has been a source of concern in the development of energy projects on federal public lands. A 2017 General Accountability Office report found serious inconsistencies in BLM practice regarding exceptions. (GAO 2017) “The extent to which BLM approves requests for exceptions to environmentally related lease and permit requirements is unknown because BLM does not have comprehensive or consistent data on these requests. Additionally, BLM’s processes for considering exception requests and documenting its decisions vary across its field offices.” (Id.) Furthermore, the GAO Report found that the public is unlikely to have an opportunity to provide input to the BLM’s decisions whether to grant exceptions. “BLM consistently involved the public when developing lease requirements and to some extent when developing permit requirements. However, BLM generally did not involve the public when considering an operator’s request for an exception to a lease or permit requirement.” (Id.) In fact, the public might not even be able to find out whether an exception was granted because “BLM does not currently require field offices to make the results of its exception decisions available to the public. Without access to this information, the public may not be able to provide substantive input into BLM’s future land use planning processes.” For all of these reasons, we recommend that White Pine not seek an exemption to the ARMPA’s lek buffers, or any other applicable restriction. 7

Conclusion While we recognize the pressing need to develop renewable energy resources, this development must not come at the cost local environmental values or biodiversity. Any adverse impacts should be avoided where possible, and if avoidance is not possible, mitigation should be designed to ensure a true net conservation gain. Recent science shows that sage-grouse habitat is currently being lost at an alarming rate, despite conservation initiatives at both the state and federal level. Part of the problem is that many conservation frameworks, including the ARMPAs, are subject to waivers, exemptions, and modifications at the project level. Consequently, sage-grouse are experiencing “death by a thousand cuts” as incompatible development extends ever farther into the last remaining habitat strongholds. This project, as designed, will have significant impacts on local sage-grouse populations and, due to the sage-grouse’s particular habitat requirements, may even affect the species’ viability at the regional scale. It is therefore critically important that all potential adverse impacts are apprehended, understood, and publicly disclosed. White Pine’s proposed study design includes some elements necessary for accomplishing this, but falls short because it fails to consider the full spectrum of impacts, and appears to focus more on administrative procedure than avoiding negative environmental outcomes. The recommendations in this letter are intended to guide White Pine in designing a more robust study, with an eye toward avoiding impacts and taking meaningful conservation actions.

Here is something that can get you started. Ethan, before he left, made a priority areas map depicting highest benefit areas for CCS credit generation. The word doc has some very brief information on some NEPA ready areas, so you would still have to do some leg work in contacting the BLM office where those projects are located, but it would be worth wrapping those up into a mitigation plan for a project proponent who wants to do some public lands mitigation.

Attachment 1 – Supplemental Information for Form 2920 *UPDATED*
BLM 2920 v2
March 2021 United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Land Use Application and Permit – Form 2920
Form 2920 Additional Space 7a. What do you propose to use the lands for? White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) intends to conduct an exploratory geotechnical program (“Sampling Activity”) in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Sampling Activity will consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4). This Form 2920 Land Use and Application Permit is intended for the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the Sampling Activity. Permitting of the full proposed White Pumped Storage Project will be conducted under a separate scope and a submission of an SF-299 Right-of-Way application. The overall Sampling Activity area is located within a 3.1 mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, therefore Applicant has modified the application submitted in November 2020 by revising access routes to use primarily existing roads in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse. Proposed Activity The Applicant intends to obtain a drilling contractor to provide geotechnical drilling services associated with the Sampling Activity. Results of the Sampling Activity will support a preliminary design study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The Applicant requests to drill three borings approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology for engineering and design purposes. In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the proposed facility. Test pits will be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. The Sampling Activity will primarily utilize existing roads for access and also construction of segments of new temporary access paths, which will be limited in length. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. The total anticipated new temporary disturbance area of the Sampling Activity is approximately 1.13 acres, as further described in table 2-1 in Section 2 below. The three borings will be located across the Sampling Activity area between the upper reservoir and lower reservoir. Boring 1 (B-1) will be located in the tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir area. Boring 2 (B-2) will be at the nearest road access to the anticipated powerhouse. Boring 3 (B-3) will be located at the anticipated upper reservoir shaft intake. Four of the test pits will be located in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3 and TPL-4) and one will be located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1). Maps of the Sampling Activity vicinity, boring and test pit locations, as well as access roads, are provided in Attachment 2. Boring B-1 will likely encounter up to several hundred feet of granular valley fill alluvium overlying sedimentary bedrock. Applicant anticipates that valley fill alluvium will consist of loose to very dense sands and gravels with varying amounts of silt and clay. The valley fill alluvium may exhibit cementation at depth, may contain nested cobbles and boulders, and may form a groundwater aquifer. WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 1
BLM 2920 v2
March 2021
Borings B-2 and B-3 will likely encounter approximately 0 to 20 feet of primarily granular colluvium soils overlying sedimentary bedrock. Colluvium soils will likely be similar in texture to the valley fill alluvium described above. As noted above and further described in the maps in Attachment 2, the Sampling Activity will involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e.- smoothing) as well as segments of new access paths (further described in Section 2 below) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. 7b. What improvements and/or land development do you propose? Access to the boring locations is primarily along existing roads. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and will be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. New access paths will be used for areas off of existing roads to access bore holes B-1 and B-3. In addition, a 150 ft by 50 ft temporary staging area will be located on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. The staging yard will be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. Road maintenance and use of new access paths for drilling and sampling activities will be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces will be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Any disturbed boring, test pit locations, and access paths will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will then be a seeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas will be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. The proposed activities will not impact or alter existing land use. Additional Requested Information 1. Duration of Activities Field work is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 will work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two (2) 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews will divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel will travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Sample Activity site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sampling Activity will require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated Sampling Activity schedule is shown below in Table 1.

*Note: Anticipated durations above are estimated. The Applicant is evaluating the possibility of future exploratory activities based on the test results of the activities proposed in this Application.
2. Sampling Activity Access Route and Road Improvements The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, TPU-1) are described in detail below. The Applicant will utilize existing roads for access where possible and will provide road maintenance (i.e. smoothing) when needed. Construction of new temporary access paths will be constructed where necessary but limited in length. Turn-arounds for large equipment will be incorporated at each boring location. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated Sample Activity disturbances are listed in Table 2. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 utilizes existing roads off Highway 93 with the exception of approximately 864 feet of new access paths. Access to B-1 requires utilizing the designated Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crossing off South Industrial Way. The Applicant also proposes to utilize the existing City of Ely Right of Way (ROW), pending approval, along the existing NNR segment as illustrated in Figure 2.1 below. TPL-1 through TPL-4 can all be accessed by existing roads on the west side of the railroad.

All limits of disturbed areas, including existing roads, drill pad, test pit pad, new access paths, and staging yard will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. If necessary, the contractor shall obtain necessary permitting and provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. 3. Drilling Activities Proposed Activities At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area will be used for a drill pad to facilitate drilling operations. Drill pads will be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor will operate an DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Equipment specification sheets are available upon request. All drills and equipment will be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. In addition to the three borings, the proposed scope of work includes excavating five test pit locations. A 50-foot by 50-foot test pit pad will be used to facilitate test pit operations. Limits of test pit pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Test pits will be a benched excavation that is 24-feet wide by 24-feet long by 24 feet deep utilizing a tracked hydraulic excavator. At each test pit location, spoils will be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit will be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. No personnel will be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk samples have been taken, all test pits will be WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 7

backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill will be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Equipment The following equipment may be present onsite throughout the Sampling Activity: 80,000-pound tracked excavator, 4,000-gallon water truck, geotechnical drill, in-situ testing equipment, tracked bulldozer, motor grader, forklift, generator, water pumping equipment, compressed gas cylinder (nitrogen), air compressor, utility vehicles, personal vehicles, semi-truck, core logging shack/tent. All equipment arriving onsite will be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Water for B-1 and B-2 will be obtained from an Ely hydrant and transported by water truck to the Sampling Activity site. Water for B-3 will be obtained from Duck Creek Reservoir and transported by water truck to the Sampling Activity site. Vehicular Traffic The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site will vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. Applicant will attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, Applicant will utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices Best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented throughout the Sampling Activity areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap. BMPs will be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. All liquids will be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent any spillage or leakage, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets will include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and will be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers will be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures will be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel will be delivered to the Sample Activity area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. The fuel from the support pickup will be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or gas). Fuel from safety cans will be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling will be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit will be staged at each work site.

Test pits will be backfilled with the excavated material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill shall be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Bore holes will be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers will be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal must be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor will abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout will consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout will be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe will extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing will then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor shall add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor will return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting to “top-off” the boring with bentonite-cement grout if the grout column settles below the ground surface. The geotechnical contractor will check for grout settlement for at least two days following grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details will be recorded on the drillers daily log. Reclamation Surface restoration will not typically be performed until after the boring has been successfully grouted to the required level. Placing “top-off” grout to account for grout loss several days after the initial grouting may be required. Following boring closure and demobilization from the individual boring location, test pit location, and staging yard; the sites will be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation as described in 7b above and final stabilization of any disturbed areas will include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Any wheel ruts and marks will be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials will be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 4. Environmental Overview The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. B-1 sits at approximately elevation 6,570 feet, while B-2 sits at approximately elevation 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the proposed lower reservoir WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 9
BLM 2920 v2
March 2021
can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Sampling Activity area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin PinyonJuniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy (. Species of vegetation include the sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 crosses east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3. B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover (Attachment 3, Figure 6). B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. As the access route to B-3 travels east, it traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats (Attachment 3, Figure 7). The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses perennially flowing water at Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat just before reaching the highway. During site visits to the boring locations during September 2020, several special-status species were observed and recorded. Table 3 list the species observed at each boring site and their status. None of the species observed are federally threatened, endangered, or other special status by the Endangered Species Act, but all species are listed as sensitive by the BLM (BLM 2017 1).

Cultural Resources Overview
A field survey of cultural resources in the Sample Activity area was performed during October and November 2020. Cultural survey of the upper portion of the access to B-3 is anticipated to be completed in April of 2021 pending favorable snow and weather conditions. The cultural investigations are consistent with a BLM Class III inventory (including a records search, field survey, and reporting). The Sampling Activity area features that underwent cultural field survey include the following: • Existing access roads – 30 feet wide corridors for survey • New access path – 100 feet wide corridors for survey • Drill pad – 300 feet diameter for survey • Test pit – 100 feet diameter for survey Final reports to the BLM for these surveys were submitted in January 2021 and are titled the following: • •
Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274B) Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for Additional Access Roads (the Southern Access) for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274D)
A brief summary of report findings are described below: Five archaeological sites were identified during the survey as well as one isolated item (a projectile point) (Table 5-1). Four of the sites were identified on the west side of the mountain range and one site WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 11
BLM 2920 v2
March 2021
and the isolated find were on the east side. Sites HDR-GGT-02, -03, -04 and the isolated find are being recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended prior to Sampling Activity implementation for these resources. Site HDR-GGT-01 appears to be part of the old Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the U.S. The Lincoln Highway has been previously determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The section of the old Lincoln Highway in the Sampling Activity area appears to have been previously graded and likely was once wider than it is now, as evidenced by additional roadbed/disturbed ground on one side of the road. Use of this road will consist of driving on the road and potential road grading. This use is unlikely to alter the current condition of the road and will likely not affect the integrity of this eligible resource. Thus, it is being recommended that no further cultural resources management measures are needed for this road prior to Sample Activity implementation. The final site, 26WP5336, consists of multiple segments of the NNR, which appears to also have been previously determined eligible for the NRHP. Vehicle crossings of the railroad will occur at approved, existing crossings and will require no alterations. As such, it is recommended that the Sample Activity will not affect the integrity of this resource. Therefore, no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended for this resource prior to Sampling Activity implementation. Table 5-1.

Hi Maggie – Yes, the protocol does make for certain timing allowances, but we encourage project proponents to only take advantage of the extensions if absolutely necessary. The protocol currently allows for data collection until June 30. However, collecting data after lekking season ends (May 15th) is generally discouraged and should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. We would prefer the data be collected between March 15 and May 15 and this represents lekking season. Please give me a call if you would like to discuss further.

Hi Jason, I’m dusting off Brett’s email below and the attached study plans and wanted to know if the BLM has any comments on these plans prepared for stakeholder review. To clarify – these would be for the full pump storage project and related to the SF-299 application. It’s our understanding that the BLM can use a FERC agency cost code for these preliminary reviews, but if another funding approach is required please let us know and we’ll work to get that in place. We appreciate your help with the project!

Electronic Filing April 7, 2021 Brett Burgess White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLC 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 RE: National Park Service comments on the proposed Study Plans for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P- 14851) Dear Mr. Burgess: The NPS received the proposed Study Plans for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P14851) (Project) and have prepared the following comments. We submitted comments on PreApplication Document (PAD) for the Project on October 30, 2020. In those comments, we requested that the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study presented in the PAD be expanded to include the Norther Nevada Railway (NNR). We also made two requests for additional studies: 1) NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study and 2) NNR Socioeconomic Study. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study In response to the Pre-application Document (PAD), the NPS commended you for including a Visual and Aesthetic Study and requested that the study includes visual perspectives from passengers on the NNR HiLine Branch, which would be impacted by the proposed Project. While you included a reference to our request in your proposed Visual and Aesthetic Study (page 3), you did not provide any details on how you plan to accomplish this. Similarly, you mention on page 3 of the Recreation Resources Study Plan that you will “conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the currently proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Information from the visual and aesthetic study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment findings.” However, it remains unclear how you will gather the views from the passengers on the NNR HiLine Branch.

While we thank you for agreeing to incorporate the view from the HiLine Branch in your Visual and Aesthetic Study and incorporate the findings it into the NNR visitor use assessment, it remains unclear on how you plan to gather data on the views from the passengers on the impacted section of railway. Since visitors on HiLine Branch train rides would be directly impacted by the changes in the landscape due to constructed Project features and re-routing of the track, they should be included in the impact analysis. In our PAD comments, we suggested that the Key Observation Point (KOP) photo simulations could be incorporated into the visitor survey, and we continue to believe that this may be one way that data can be collected on how the prosed Project will change the aesthetics of NNR train rides. We are open to other methods, as long as visitors’ perspectives of the potential landscape changes are captured, which is a direct Project impact. Recreation Resources Study We commend you for including a Recreation Resource Study in your proposed Study Plan, specifically the NNR Visitor Use Assessment, which is consistent with the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study that the NPS requested in response to the PAD. Your proposed study should address one of the stated purposes of the NPS’s requested study, which is to determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors. However, your proposed study would not sufficiently address the second purpose of NPS’s requested study, which is to characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be affected by the Project. Data on visitor experiences is more qualitative in nature and not easily captured using a survey instrument such as the one you propose. More in-depth data collection is necessary to qualify visitor experiences. This includes user interviews and focus groups discussions with NNR personnel and others involved in the train rides, such as NPS rangers involved in the Star Trains. Such discussions could help you redesign your survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would potentially be impacted by the proposed Project. Socioeconomic Study One study that is noticeably missing in your proposed Study Plan is a Socioeconomic Study. In our response to the PAD, the NPS requested that a NNR Socioeconomic Study be conducted to determine the Project’s economic impact on the local economy due to impacts on the operation and nature of NNR train rides. We identified the goals and objectives of the study as follows: This study will evaluate the economic contributions NNR visitor use has on the local economy, specifically the City of Ely and White Pine County. The purpose and objectives of this study are to 1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR, 2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute, and 3) evaluate any long-term socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. Project socioeconomic impacts were only briefly mentioned once in your proposed Study Plans, and that is on page 4 of the in the Recreation Resources Study Plan. There, you state that

information from the recreation study will be used “to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements.” You further state that “Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.” However, there is no Socioeconomic Study in your proposed Study Plan. It thus remains unclear how the socioeconomic analysis will be conducted or if it would address the goals and objectives that we laid out in our socioeconomic study request. We request that you provide details on how you plan to “assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project.” That is, we would like the opportunity to review your Socioeconomic Study Plan, as well as why you seem to have rejected the NPS’s study request for a socioeconomic study. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to comment on your proposed Study Plans. If you have any further questions, please contact Barbara Rice at Barbara_Rice@nps.gov or Steve Bowes at Stephen_Bowes@nps.gov. Sincerely,

Luigi Resta President and CEO White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLC 201 S Main Street, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111
Dear Mr. Resta, The Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership’s mission is to conserve, protect, and interpret the natural, cultural, and historic resources of the Great Basin National Heritage Area, which includes White Pine County, Nevada. The Nevada Northern Railway National is one of two National Historic Landmarks in the heritage area and is one of our key partners, as is the National Park Service. We have reviewed your proposal for studies and fully concur with the concerns raised by the Nevada Northern Railway, detailed below. We would also like to emphasize that the train rides on the HiLine branch are an incredible driver of tourism to the region, bringing business to hotels, restaurants, and shops; interrupting the service will negatively impact the community. We are especially concerned about the impact the project will have on the night skies viewed along the HiLine and would like to know what mitigating factors the pump station will utilize to minimize light pollution. Our night skies are the most significant factor that has been driving increased tourism to the area over the last decade. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study The Nevada Northern Railway appreciates the goals of the study but we feel that the number of up to nine representative and critical key viewing locations is wholly in adequate. Your project is proposing moving nine miles of our existing track. If you limit the key viewing location to just nine, then you will be taking a snapshot of our viewshed that passengers see from the train only once a mile. Nor do you propose to take views from the train, which is a different viewpoint than from someone on the ground. The Nevada Northern Railway requests that photosimulation of the proposed Project facilities be made beginning where the proposed realignment of the existing railroad track starts and continuing to where the railroad track accesses its current alignment. Since the passengers on the railroad train see multiple viewpoints, we want to see photosimulation of proposed Project facilities every 660 feet on the new alignment. Additionally these photosimulations should be 360 degrees in scope and show the views during both the day and at night. We are especially concerned on the impact of your Project facilities will have on our night skies. Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership P.O. Box 78; Baker, NV 89311 greatbasinheritage.org (775) 234-7171

In 4.2.4 Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities you state that, “White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing.” The Nevada Northern Railway’s railroad track requires the same type of consideration that is being given to roads as stated in section 4.2.4. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study The Nevada Northern Railway contends that moving approximately ten miles of our existing railroad track to a new location will have an adverse effect on the historic properties of the railroad. These adverse effects will be determined through the assessment required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The HiLine branch of the railroad was built in 1908 and is essentially the same today as it was when it was constructed 113 years. The branch is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In the center of the branch is Lavon siding. This is a passing siding with a historic telephone booth. The HiLine branch was used by the railroad to haul the loaded ore trains to the mill in McGill. These trains were pulled by steam locomotives on an uphill grade of .4%. Due to the length of the run, the steepness of the grade, and the weight of the ore trains, the steam locomotives had to work hard to get the ore trains to McGill. There is evidence of the hard working steam locomotives along the entire section of track that is proposed for relocation. This evidence is two bands of cinders that run parallel to the railroad track on both side of the track. We use these bands of cinders in our interpretation of the trip to our passengers. These cinder bands are evidence of the immense amount of work that it took to get the ore trains to McGill. Literally millions of tons of coal was hand shoveled into the steam locomotives by immigrants to produce these cinder bands. Moving the railroad track would erase these bands causing us to lose part of the story of what it took to move a mountain of copper ore by the railroad. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is concerned about moving the railroad track and what effect it would have on our Star Platform, which would also have to be moved. The Nevada Northern Railway has built a strong and successful astro-tourism program in partnership with the rangers from Great Basin National Park. We use the HiLine branch for our astro-tourism programs. Support for these programs has been very strong. The White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board granted funds to build a Star platform on the HiLine. Our astro-tourism programs take advantage of our dark skies. What started as a once a month event has grown to an event that occurs three times a week from mid-May to mid-September. Our astro-tourism programs produce a sizeable revenue stream for not only the Nevada Northern Railway but also the community as a whole. Since the program happens in the evening and 99% of the participants are from outside White Pine County, the tourists who ride our astro-tourism trains spend the night in White Pine County. These tourist have a significant financial impact on the community. The Nevada Northern Railway needs to know how the Project will impact the current dark skies. This is not mentioned at all in the proposed plan and needs to be included.

Furthermore, the plan states that “White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process.” During these discussions the Nevada Northern Railway has made its position clear on what is required to move the railroad track. The current right-of-way was converted from federal easements to real property by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, Public Law 109-59. The City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway’s position is that if the railroad track needs to move, then it must be moved onto a new alignment that is also real property. Since the adjoining land is all under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and BLM only has the authority to grant easements, White Pine needs to explain what their plan is to have the new railroad track alignment change from federal land to private land. This change in land status will literally take an Act of Congress. The Nevada Northern Railway wants to review examples of land transfers that have happened in support of similar projects. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway needs to know what White Pine’s strategy is to accomplish receiving an Act of Congress converting federal land to private land. If White Pine cannot succeed in receiving the Act of Congress, then the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway need an acknowledgement from White Pine that the railroad track does not move. The Study Plan mentions that “White Pine will conduct a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the APE to verify locations of previously recorded cultural resources and to identify previously unknown cultural resources in the APE.” Additionally it states that the survey to be conducted, “will consist of crew members walking parallel transects spaced up to 30 meters (m) apart for ground surface inspection.” Any access of the railroad right-of way and track will need the permission of the Nevada Northern Railway for access. The railroad track in the survey area is considered controlled track under Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49: Transportation, Part 214—Railroad Workplace Safety. Failure to receive permission from the Nevada Northern Railway prior to entering the railroad right-of-way and track is a violation of federal law and may be subject to federal fines. Section 4.2.3 states, “Step 3 – Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources. White Pine will use information gathered during the inventory to evaluate the eligibility of identified resources for inclusion in the NRHP…” As mentioned earlier the entire HiLine Branch is eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. The key component is the Lavon siding and telephone booth. The railroad had telephone booths at control points along the railroad. Today only three remain with the Lavon telephone booth being one of the three. Section 4.2.4 states, “Step 4 – Reporting White Pine will prepare a “privileged” report at the conclusion of the Study that includes the following sections: (1) Study Goals and Objectives, (2) Methods, and (3) Results. The report will include maps that clearly depict the following on USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps: the area examined, and the resources identified. The report will contain sensitive, confidential, and privileged information. As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process. White Pine will seek SHPO’s concurrence on NRHP eligibility evaluations conducted during the Study. Following SHPO concurrence on the report, the report will be filed with FERC with a designation as “privileged.”
Document Accession #: 20210409-5058
Filed Date: 04/09/2021
White Pine will also provide a summary of findings for purposes of the public licensing process that excludes sensitive, confidential, and privileged information.” The Nevada Northern Railway objects to White Pine preparing a “privileged” report and not allowing the public access to the report. The report is an evaluation of historic and cultural assets on public lands. As such, the public has a right to know what was found on the public’s land. This position of White Pine means that the Nevada Northern Railway would not receive a copy of the report. The railroad is perhaps the most significant historic and cultural asset in the study area. Section 4.2.4 states, “As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process…” This is unacceptable to the Nevada Northern Railway. The report needs to be made public. Recreation Resources Study The White Pine report states, “Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and • Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.” The Nevada Northern Railway objects to the premise of the section that the, “Construction of the Project may (emphasis added) have the potential to affect recreation facilities…” The Nevada Northern Railway wants to see the premise of this section changed from “may” to “will”. The Nevada Northern Railway wants White Pine to acknowledge that their Project will change and have a major impact on the area, especially the Nevada Northern Railway and its operations. The reason why the Nevada Northern Railway wants the acknowledgement included in the study that White Pine’s project “will” have impacts on recreation in the area is illustrated in the next section of the report, “There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides.” The Nevada Northern Railway has developed recreational facilities within the study area. The biggest one is the Star Platform that was just doubled in size this spring. The Star Platform serves as an anchor for our very popular astro-tourism programs. These program are successful due to the region’s dark skies. This popularity of astro-tourism has increased the number trains that utilize this area to three a week with a possible increase projected in 2022. Additionally the Nevada Northern Railway is anticipating
Document Accession #: 20210409-5058
Filed Date: 04/09/2021
using the Star Platform for non-train astro-tourism programing. It is envisioned that tourists will convoy out to the Star Platform in their vehicles to participate in a Dark Skies program. Additionally, the Nevada Northern Railway is creating a program that utilizes the parallel service road as a bike trail. In cooperation with and in support of the White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board, the Nevada Northern Railway is premiering Rails to Trails in 2021. This program will allow bicyclists to take their bicycle on the train to the end of the HiLine. Once there the bicyclists will disembark and ride their bicycles back to Ely. We expect this to be a very popular program. White Pine’s Resource Study Plan is using out-of-date information. “Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors.” This information is incorrect and out-of-date. The astro-tourism programs and the new Trains-to-Trails program has caused to use the HiLine Branch three to four times a week with additional trains programed for 2022 to use that branch. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is in the process of developing an electric railbike program utilizing the HiLine Branch. This program will rent electric-assisted railbikes to the public to operate on the HiLine branch. The HiLine branch was chosen for this program because of its views and remoteness. A pilot program is being developed for 2021. It is anticipated that the program will be a success and that the program will expand in 2022 to daily operations on the HiLine branch. Sections 4.2 Study Methods, Section 4.2.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment and Section 4.2.3 all raise concerns. It appears that the essence of this section is to get the visitors and the passengers to prove to White Pine that the railroad is worthwhile. The Nevada Northern Railway realizes the need for a Visitor Use Assessment but we object to the way that White Pine proposes to go about it. The Visitor Use Assessment needs to be done by an independent third party that is mutually agreed on by the Nevada Northern Railway, the White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board, and White Pine. The Nevada Northern Railway will insist on veto power over the questions being asked and methodology of collecting the information.
Thank you for considering our comments. Sincerely,

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No.14851) Cultural Resources Study
Newe Hunter-Gatherer Inhabitants (approx. 10,000 years) This area was not some remote location to my Newe ancestors. There was a Festival Ground in North Steptoe Valley at the foot of the Egan Range. It was a great pinenut gathering locale. Newe traveled far and wide to attend. But mainly the participation was from Steptoe Valley, Spring Valley, Snake Valley, and Antelope Valley. These Newe from Snake Valley, Spring Valley and Steptoe Valley used a route that took them thru the Duck creek Gap and along Duck Creek, This route passed thru the area where Water is proposed to be extracted by this White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The hunting and fishing was extraordinary and Duck Creek was rich with plant life, so the Hunter-Gathers prepared for winter – and stayed for quite some time. Newe Artifacts from Thousands of years of inhabiting this route still remain in Duck Creek Basin, Duck Creek Range, and Duck Creek. The Construction site for the Duck Creek to mountain top roads & the pumping station at Duck Creek especially, are all prime locations for those historical Newe artifacts that accumulated there for thousands of years. Thousands of years of Newe history will be destroyed by this project!
Note: This Duck Creek route to Spring Valley is the one used by the US Cavalry during the First Spring Valley Massacre of the Newe. The Cavalry had traveled from Fort Ruby to Egan Canyon and then South to Duck Creek Gap. From there they followed the Newe route to Spring Valley, just as the Newe had done for centuries.

Some of our Native history is still in the making. This Newe Route went thru excellent hunting grounds in the Duck Creek area. Newe were Hunter-Gatherers and my ancestors took advantage of the opportunity to harvest game animals, both large and small. My son, Rick and I continue that tradition. We have mastered shooting a bow “Indian Style”. We shoot with our fingers (No mechanical release) and aim instinctively (no sight). Rick and I still hunt the Duck Creek area in this traditional fashion. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project will degrade and destroy all of this great hunting area. Many Newe hunters will be deprived of the opportunity to hunt lands that they have been using for generations. Moreover, hunters from all over the world, with many assorted weapons, will miss out on sharing the hunting experiences of our culture. We, present day Newe, and non-natives (everyone), will lose the opportunity to Hunt, Gather, and to experience the natural solitude of Duck Creek. Without the encroachment of industry, we have the opportunity to love and enjoy the peace and beauty that is Duck Creek. Losing Duck Creek to an industry that will not benefit White Pine County is not a good trade-off. IT IS A SHITTY TRADE-OFF!! We lose Duck Creek and get nothing in return.

The Center is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection of native species and their habitats through science, policy, and environmental law. The Center has over 1.7 million members and supporters throughout Nevada and the United States, including supporters who live in White Pine County, and those who utilize public lands in and around the proposed Project site for recreation and other uses. The Center’s Nevada program focuses on the protection of wildlife and endangered species, the preservation of public lands, and the sustainability of Nevada’s groundwater resources. The development of renewable energy generation is a critical component of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, avoid the worst consequences of global warming, and to help states achieve renewable energy production targets. The Center strongly supports the development of renewable energy production and supports the generation of electricity from renewable sources where properly designed and sited. However, like any project, any proposed renewable energy project must be thoughtfully planned to minimize impacts to the environment and avoid impacts to sensitive species and habitats to the greatest extent possible through careful siting, planning, and design. Only by maintaining the highest environmental standards with regard to local impacts, and effects on species and habitats, can renewable energy production be truly sustainable. White Pine has proposed the following six studies: a visual and aesthetic resources study; a preliminary jurisdictional study; a rare, threatened and endangered wildlife species assessment; a recreation resources study; a special-status plants and noxious weeds study; and a cultural resources study. The Center supports White Pine’s intention to study these resources. However,
the Center believes that the proposed study plans are deficient in several respects. As proposed, they will not produce adequate information to fully understand the environmental, recreation, aesthetic, and cultural impacts of the Project. In general, the proposed study designs demonstrate an inappropriate degree of pre-decision regarding the design and siting of the Project. In most cases, the studies focus on the immediate footprint of the proposed facilities, thus assuming a particular location and configuration for those facilities. This will dramatically reduce the studies’ utility regarding avoidance and mitigation of adverse impacts. The proposed studies should inform the project’s siting and design, not the other way around. In addition, White Pine should significantly broaden the scope of the studies so they can inform the development of a reasonable range of alternative actions. Issues with specific study proposals are addressed below. Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife and Plants; Noxious Weeds Wildlife and botanical resources are addressed together because they are closely interrelated. White Pine appears to have consulted readily available online sources, such as NatureServe, to determine the likely presence or absence of rare, threatened and endangered species in the project area. This preliminary investigation revealed dozens potentially affected imperiled species, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, golden eagles, bald eagles, several species of migratory birds, several species of bats, two amphibian species, and numerous springsnails which likely depend on isolated and fragile aquatic habitats. In addition, White Pine identifies at least three plant species listed as critically endangered by the State of Nevada. As noted by other commentators and the Center’s previous letter regarding greater sage-grouse, the impacts of this project to local and regional biodiversity could be severe. Arid ecosystems in the intermountain west are already at heightened risk due to global climate change, invasive species, fragmentation, and other pressures from resource extraction. Consequently, this project will add stressors to an already stressed environment. It is therefore critical that White Pine undertake careful and detailed evaluations of the local environment to fully understand the Project’s likely impacts. This is especially true for aquatic ecosystems, which constitute the foundation for biodiversity in the nation’s most arid State. White Pine proposes a rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species assessment consisting primarily of desktop analysis. According to the proposal, White Pine will begin by collecting aerial photographs and mapping vegetation types. Based on this, White Pine will identify vegetation communities and habitat suitability for special-status species. It is unclear whether this will be followed or accompanied by field work to verify the data collected. The proposed study design suggests that any field observations may be incidental to other survey work 2
(“field surveyors will record observations of wildlife encountered during field work, with a focus on RTE wildlife species”). The proposed study area consists of “lands within the Primary Facility Corridors” and a 200-foot buffer. Because of its limited geographic scope and reliance on desktop analysis, the proposed study appears insufficient to establish an adequate baseline for RTE wildlife species. The study area should be expanded to encompass the likely range of local RTE species populations. This is critical because Project construction and operation could have indirect or cumulative impacts on wildlife populations or habitats far from the actual project area, especially if the species in question are migratory or depend on a variety of different habitats throughout their lifecycle. Impacts such as habitat fragmentation, behavioral avoidance, and invasion by non-native species will not be constrained to the 200-foot buffer proposed by White Pine. In order to present a full picture of the biological impacts of the project, thorough, seasonallyappropriate surveys must be performed for sensitive plant species and vegetation communities, and animal species. The Center requests that thorough, seasonal surveys be performed for sensitive plant species and vegetation communities, and animal species under the direction and supervision of State and Federal wildlife agencies including NDOW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For those species that have agency-identified survey protocols, those protocol level surveys must be required, implemented and disclosed in the environmental impact statement (EIS). Full disclosure of survey methods and results to the public and other agencies without limitations imposed by the applicant must be implemented to assure full compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Adequate surveys must be implemented, not just a single season of surveys, in order to evaluate the existing on-site conditions. Due to unpredictable precipitation in this arid environment, organisms in the proposed project area have evolved to survive in harsh conditions and if surveys are performed at inappropriate times or year or in particularly dry years many plants that are in fact on-site may not be apparent during surveys (ex. annual and herbaceous perennial plants). Finally, White Pine must dramatically expand its analysis of noxious weeds and other invasive plant species. The current proposal is to record the presence and distribution of certain species classified as “noxious” by the state of Nevada. This will fail to fully capture the project’s foreseeable effects on invasive, non-native species. The State’s “noxious” designation does not cover some of the most problematic invasive plant species in the Project area, including cheatgrass (bromus tectorum). Cheatgrass is a non-native annual that rapidly invades disturbed areas. Under the right conditions, it can outcompete native grasses and create monocultures. Unlike native species, cheatgrass is highly tolerant of disturbance and thus readily invades areas that have been impacted by construction activities. Roads, rights3
of-way, powerlines, and other types of infrastructure have been shown to propagate and spread cheatgrass invasions throughout the West. Cheatgrass invasion impacts local and regional biodiversity by reducing habitat function and simplifying vegetative structures. It can also have dramatic effects on wildfire frequency and intensity. In healthy sage-steppe communities, fire is relatively infrequent. Estimates of fire rotations in various sagebrush communities range from 40 to 350 years. Where cheatgrass has invaded, however, rotations can be as short as five years. These frequent fires can prevent native grasses and shrubs from re-establishing, and can transform native shrub-steppe communities over time into annual grasslands dominated by cheatgrass and other invasive species. Invasive species represent one of the greatest conservation challenges in the Great Basin. The most severe and widespread environmental impacts from this project could derive from the introduction and spread of invasive annual grasses that are not included on the State’s list of “noxious” weeds. It is therefore essential to informed decisionmaking that White Pine expand the scope of its invasive species study to encompass cheatgrass and other species not classified as “noxious.” White Pine should consult with NDOW, FWS, BLM, USGS and other agencies to determine which invasive species are present in the area and how to effectively conduct surveys. Recreational Resources White Pine’s recreational resources survey inappropriately focuses on “facilities,” such as the Nevada Northern Railway and developed campsites. This approach largely ignores the substantial role of dispersed recreation—including hunting, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, backpacking, mountain biking, climbing, and other activities—in the local recreational economy. Eastern Nevada is remarkable for its open spaces, abundant wildlife, and scenic views. White Pine’s recreational analysis should therefore recognize that many recreational opportunities are intertwined with wildlife, botanical, and visual resources. In particular, White Pine should consider potential impacts to hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities through a detailed analysis of wildlife habitat and likely population impacts. Biggame hunting for species like mule deer and elk form an important part of the local economy. Impacts to populations of these species from habitat degradation and fragmentation could severely curtail recreational opportunities for local residents and seasonal visitors. The connection between the recreation economy and wildfire thus underscores the need for a thorough and comprehensive wildlife study.

Cultural Resources The cultural resources study proposal appears to minimize the area’s significance to Native American communities. The study plan states that “White Pine is not aware of any properties of traditional religious or cultural importance to Native American tribes in the Project vicinity.” This statement demonstrates a significant knowledge gap that must be addressed before any further project development or planning occurs. The area in which the project is proposed is within the ancestral territory of the Western Shoshone (Newe) people. Newe hunter-gatherers have lived in the area for over 10,000 years, and the abundant plant and animal life in the Duck Creek basin helped sustain them through the winter. In addition, Steptoe Valley was the site of a traditional pine-nut gathering ground and annual ceremony. The region’s current indigenous residents continue the traditions of their ancestors in the areas that will be destroyed, transformed, or otherwise affected by the Project. Any potential impact on indigenous cultural activities must be carefully considered before White Pine commits to further Project development. In addition, there are likely thousands of years of Newe artifacts located within and around the proposed construction site. It is absolutely critical that White Pine consult with knowledgeable tribal representatives before embarking on any development, as this project has the potential to destroy thousands of years of history. Aquatic Resources Delineation White Pine states that the goal of its aquatic resources delineation study is to “assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.” This study objective is woefully insufficient to capture the full extent of potential impacts to aquatic resources and groundwater. The Center recommends a full hydrogeologic study, along with a comprehensive survey of surface water features that may be affected by the project. The survey of surface water features should go beyond jurisdictional waters to cover all springs, streams, wetlands, and intermittent/ephemeral watercourses. While establishing Section 404 jurisdiction is an important prerequisite for any energy development project, it is by no means sufficient for understanding the impacts of this particular project. White Pine’s proposal to construct and fill two reservoirs within the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin has the potential to significantly alter the hydrology of the area, with consequences to aquatic ecosystems, wildlife, and water availability.
5
Steptoe Valley is part of the Basin and Range province, which contains complex groundwater flow systems within both individual basins and interconnected carbonite aquifers. One typical aquifer type in Eastern Nevada is the Cenozoic valley or basin-fill. Much of the groundwater in this region flows through these basin-fill deposits, with mountains serving as boundaries of some of the flow systems. Another aquifer type is Paleozoic carbonate rock, which commonly underlies the basins and provides hydraulic connections under mountains between basins. Groundwater flow in this deeper, older aquifer is generally south to south-west, from east-central Nevada toward Ash Meadows, Death Valley, or Lake Mead. Many surface water features are sustained, at least proximately, by the basin-fill aquifer. However, the carbonate aquifer also directly supports some springs and wetlands. Understanding the specific connections between these aquifers, the sources of recharge and discharge for each, and the ecosystems they support, is critical to understanding the hydrologic impacts of the proposed hydropower project. Groundwater is an increasingly scarce resource in Nevada, and many hydrologic basins are already severely over-appropriated. Extracting water from one or both aquifers and transporting it to the surface for power generation could dramatically alter the hydrology of the area, affecting both water availability and groundwater-dependent ecosystems. White Pine must also consider how much water will be consumed by the project through evaporation and other losses. In sum, given the complexity of Nevada’s groundwater resource, the scarcity of water in general, and the importance of groundwater to both the desert environment and the local economy, White Pine must do far more with respect to water resources than the proposed jurisdictional determination. We recommend a full hydrologic study and a comprehensive survey of potentially affected surface water features in both Steptoe Valley and the Duck Creek basin. Conclusion While we recognize the pressing need to develop renewable energy resources, this development must not come at the cost local environmental values, biodiversity, unique recreational opportunities, or indigenous peoples’ cultural heritage. Adverse impacts to all of these resources must be avoided. White Pine’s proposed study designs include some elements that will assist in understanding and avoiding any such impacts, but far more is required to develop a complete environmental, recreational, and cultural baseline. The recommendations in this letter are intended to guide White Pine in designing a more robust study, with an eye toward avoiding impacts and taking meaningful conservation actions.

From: Moira Kolada <mkolada@ndow.org> Sent: Friday, April 9, 2021 4:26:18 PM To: Brett Burgess <bburgess@rplusenergies.com> Subject: RE: White Pine Study Plan Review BrettPleased find our comments on the proposed study plans in the attached document. Also below is more information regarding our concerns to big game. We highly recommend coordinating with the BLM before finalizing your study plans. The proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project) is in the Duck Creek Range within the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Game Management Unit 111. The area surrounding the proposed Project is designated as Mule Deer Crucial Winter Range and Elk Crucial Winter Range and Crucial Summer Range. Aerial surveys conducted annually in this area from 2015-2020 on average surveyed 1,139 mule deer and 273 elk in the Duck Creek Range area. At this point, the NDOW has not received enough detailed information about the Project to understand potential impacts to big game. Potential concerns that the NDOW has include but are not limited to: • Habitat loss and fragmentation from reservoirs, conduits, and access roads • Movement impediments from conduits (if above ground) and access roads • Avoidance of the greater area due to increased noise and human traffic The area around the Project is mapped as critical habitat for big game. However, at this time NDOW does not have data about detailed big game movement in this area, but believes that this project could have severe negative impacts on big game movements. An in-depth collaring project is recommended to analyze big game movements around the Project area.

Commented [NDOW1]: Should this section also include sensitive species for the BLM?
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Pumped Storage, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse.
Where is the general wildlife section? While species listed under the Endangered Species Act are under the authority of the USFWS, additional species not covered under ESA are also protected, either federally through legislation such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and through Nevada Revised Statutes. NDOW, BLM and USFS offer additional protections for sensitive or species of concern and should be addressed.
White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species. The goal of this study is to characterize and describe the habitat types in the study area (defined below in Section 4.1 and shown in Attachment 1) and the potential for RTE wildlife species to occur in the study area and to identify and assess potential Project impacts to these resources. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); or (3) listed by the State of Nevada as critically endangered. This study will: • • • •
Develop a map of vegetation types and un-vegetated land covers in the study area; Develop a map of wildlife habitats (roughly corresponding to the vegetation types) in the study area; Identify the likelihood of presence of special-status wildlife species in each of the habitat types; and Note the occurrence of wildlife sightings during the course of the field work.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
White Pine will assess the nature and degree of the Project’s likely effects on RTE wildlife species. These effects may be direct (for example, ground-disturbing activities, such as mechanical or chemical clearing of vegetation or trampling of plants), indirect (for example, construction activity that results in erosion of adjacent land), or cumulative (that is, caused by a Project activity in association with a nonProject activity, such as loss of habitat attributable to the introduction of invasive plants from a nonProject vector). The study will provide information to determine the extent to which certain Project activities may have the potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources. A Project effect may exist if both of the following occur: • •
A RTE wildlife resource is found to occur in the study area, as defined in Section 4.1; and A specific Project activity has a reasonable possibility of having an adverse effect on the RTE wildlife resource found.
The goal of this study is to gather the information necessary to perform this analysis and evaluate the Project’s potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of the existing information associated with the Project can be found in the PreApplication Document (PAD) (White Pine 2020). The U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat map identified 8 habitat types identified in the study area, identified in Table 1 (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011).

Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar, but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada, but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors. Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops.

Habitat Sagebrush steppe. Nest in areas with relatively dense cover from big sagebrush. May use areas with rabbitbrush, greasewood, and grassy areas. Leks are located in clear areas such as broad ridgetops, grassy swales, dry lakebeds, and sometimes recently burned areas. Chick rearing areas include irrigated pastures, wet meadows, and alfalfa fields, in addition to sagebrush. Barren to sparsely vegetated sand beaches, dry salt flats in lagoons, dredge spoils deposited on beach or dune habitat, levees and flats at salt-evaporation ponds, river bars, along alkaline or saline lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs. Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows. Breed in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains. Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, scrub oak, and chaparral communities, and sometimes in pine forests; specialized for feeding on pine seeds.

Habitat Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. Open aspen, cottonwood, or pine woodlands with open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple dead trees and snags. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands. Montane forest with mature pines (preferably Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines), open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple cavities for nesting. Arid sagebrush steppe. In winter, occupies sagebrush shrublands similar to the breeding grounds, as well as a range of desert scrub habitats consisting mainly of saltbush and creosote.

Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krumholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to highelevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred. Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roostinghabitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyonjuniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1770 - 7,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter. Confined primarily to forested habitats. Found in woodland and riparian habitats; more commonly in mature forests. Found in coniferous and mixed deciduous/coniferous forests of pinyon juniper, subalpine fir, white fir, limber pine, aspen, cottonwood, and willow. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1,570-8,200 feet. ROOST HABITAT: Roosts almost exclusively in trees in summer.

Habitat Found throughout the state but more widespread and common in the northern half. Occurs from mid to high elevations. Absent from the low desert; found in pinyon-juniper, Joshua tree woodland, and montane coniferous forest habitats; occasionally found in Mojave and salt desert scrub, and blackbrush, mountainshrub, and sagebrush. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 930-3,420 meters; ROOST HABITAT: day roosts primarily in hollow trees, particularly large diameter snags or live trees with lightning scars; uses rock crevices, caves, mines, and buildings when available; caves and mines may be used for night roosts; hibernacula elsewhere are generally mines or caves. Occur in highest densities in montane shrub dominated communities. They are often associated with successional vegetation. They are often found on open south-facing slopes in winter. Browse on a wide variety of woody plants and graze on grasses and forbs. Alpine meadows, mountain slopes, and foothills. Like areas with rocky slopes that they can climb to evade predators. Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth, around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Normally associated with water, though may disperse long distances away from water to establish new territories. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter. Found through most of the state, ranging from low desert to high mountains in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, has been found at around 11,480 feet in the Sierra Nevada. ROOST HABITAT: selects a variety of day roosts including cliff faces, mines, caves, buildings, bridges, and hollow trees. Associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to friable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows, where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine will conduct an RTE Wildlife Species Assessment. The assessment will generate mapping of existing vegetation types and modeling of likely occurring wildlife species in the study area. Surveys targeting individual wildlife species are not included as part of this effort.
Commented [NDOW7]: Strongly recommend defining what the assessment area is and providing the buffers/distances to be used for the various species. A 200ft buffer is inadequate for many species, for example Greater Sage grouse requirements indicate a 4 mile buffer where raptors require 0.5 mile buffer.
A portion of this study was conducted in September 2020 focusing around the Project facilities, except the transmission corridor. The 2021 study will include the proposed transmission corridor and Project facilities that have been added or modified since September 2020.
4.2.1
Vegetation Mapping
In the field, vegetation types will be mapped on an aerial photograph at a scale of approximately 1 inch equals 250 feet (1″ = 250′) or as appropriate for local conditions. Where vegetation overlaps another type of mapping unit, such as a tree canopy over water or roads, the area will be mapped according to the uppermost layer of vegetation. A minimum mapping unit of 0.1 acre will be used when differentiating vegetation types. Some vegetation types can be mapped below the level of 0.1 acre, such as vegetation types typically associated with wetland features, at the discretion of the surveyor. For each vegetation type observed in the field, species composition and percent cover will be recorded on vegetation mapping forms. Nomenclature of vegetation types will follow that of GAP. If a vegetation type is recorded that does not conform to a described vegetation type, a new name will be created conforming to the general format of the GAP. General habitat condition will be assessed for each polygon using indicators such as level of disturbance, presence, and relative dominance of non-native species, and availability of habitat structures. Additionally, field surveyors will record observations of wildlife encountered during field work, with a focus on RTE wildlife species.
4.2.2
Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment
The RTE wildlife species identified in Table 2 will be sorted into groups based on similar habitat characteristics, except for species identified as unlikely to occur. Additionally, the following species have broad enough habitat requirements that they are tentatively considered to have suitable habitat in the entire study area and will not have discreet habitat mapping conducted; greater short-horned lizard, short-eared owl, Swainson’s hawk, loggerhead shrike, big brown bat, western small-footed myotis, long-eared myotis, fringed myotis, long-legged myotis, Brazilian free-tailed bat, and Botta’s pocket gopher. Specific habitat characteristics will be attached to each group, and the number of characteristics for each group will be identified and mapped in the field, a process called a habitat suitability evaluation. Maps will be created in coordination with a qualified wildlife biologist experienced with Nevada habitats to depict a map showing the potential of occurrence for each group of RTE wildlife species in the study area, called a habitat suitability index. This information will be combined with field data to describe the Page 11
Commented [NDOW8]: What species will have discrete mapping done?
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
potential for RTE wildlife use of the study area and for the Project to adversely affect special status wildlife or key RTE wildlife habitats.
4.2.3
Reporting
The locations of significant sightings or observations, such as raptor nests or sage-grouse leks, will be documented through the use of a Global Positioning System unit. Data collected will be compiled into a study area species list. In particular, areas of high potential for occurrences of RTE wildlife species will be delineated on field maps, included in figures, and noted in study reporting. Included with the study report will be a description and a map of areas with potential for BLM sensitive springsnails, as identified in Table 1. These areas will be identified and mapped during the study and will incorporate data collected during the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study. Per Management Action SS-9 identified in the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2009), all spring sources subject to impact would require a pre-construction survey to determine if springsnails are present. Following field efforts and data management, White Pine will prepare a report that includes study goals, methodology, results, and analysis of potential Project effects. Project reporting will be incorporated into White Pine’s Draft License Application.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning.................................................................................................. January – March 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................ March – July 2021 Study Report Preparation .......................................................................August – October 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report.

Electronic Filing April 9, 2021 Luigi Resta President and CEO White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLC 201 S Main Street, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Dear Mr. Resta, The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation has reviewed your proposal for studies and has comments concerning: • Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study; • Cultural Resources Study, and; • Recreation Resources Study. Our comments are per section. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study The Nevada Northern Railway appreciates the goals of the study, but we feel that the number of up to nine representative and critical key viewing locations is wholly inadequate. Your project is proposing moving nine miles of our existing track. If you limit the key viewing location to just nine, then you will be taking a snapshot of our viewshed that passengers see from the train only once a mile. Nor do you propose to take views from the train which is a different viewpoint than someone on the ground. The Nevada Northern Railway requests that photosimulation of the proposed Project facilities be made beginning where the proposed realignment of the existing railroad track starts and continues to where _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

the railroad track accesses its current alignment. Since the passengers on the railroad train see multiple viewpoints, we want to see photosimulation of proposed Project facilities every 660 feet on the new alignment. Additionally, these photosimulations should be 360 degrees in scope and show the views during the day and at night. We are especially concerned on the impact of your Project facilities will have on our night skies. In 4.2.4 Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities, you state that, “White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing.” The Nevada Northern Railway’s railroad track needs the same type of consideration that is being given to roads as stated in section 4.2.4. Cultural Resources Study The Nevada Northern Railway contends that moving approximately ten miles of our existing historic railroad track to a new location will under Section 106 of the NHPA, as amended, have an adverse effect on the historic properties of the railroad. The HiLine branch of the railroad was built in 1908 and is essentially the same today as it was when it was constructed 113 years ago. The branch is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Centered on the branch is Lavon siding. This is a passing siding with a telephone booth. The HiLine branch was used by the railroad to haul the loaded ore trains to the mill in McGill. These trains were pulled by steam locomotives on an uphill grade of .4%. Due to the length of the run, the steepness of the grade, and the weight of the ore trains, the steam locomotive had to work hard to get the ore trains to McGill. There is evidence of the hard-working steam locomotives along the entire section of track that is proposed for relocation. This evidence is two bands of cinders that run parallel to the railroad track on both side of the track. We use these bands of cinders in our interpretation of the trip to our passengers. Literally millions of tons of coal was hand shoveled into the steam locomotives by immigrants to produce these cinder bands. Moving the railroad track would erase these bands causing us to lose part of the story of what it took to move a mountain of copper ore by the railroad. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is concerned about moving the railroad track and what effect it would have on moving our Star Platform. The Nevada Northern Railway has built a strong and successful astro-tourism program in partnership with the rangers from Great Basin National Park. We use the HiLine branch for our astro-tourism programs. Support for these programs has been very strong. The Great Basin Star Train sells out a year in advance. The White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board granted funds to build a Star platform on the HiLine. Our astro-tourism programs take advantage our dark skies. What started as a once-a-month event has grown to an event that occurs three times a week from mid-May to mid-September. Our astro-tourism programs produce a sizeable revenue stream for not only the Nevada Northern Railway but also the community as a whole. Since the program happens in the evening and 99% of the participants are from outside White Pine County, the tourists who ride our astro-tourism trains spend the night in White Pine County. These

tourist have a sizeable financial impact to the community. The Nevada Northern Railway needs to know how the Project will impact the current dark skies. This is not mentioned at all in the proposed study plan and needs to be included. Furthermore, the study plan mentions that “White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process.” During these discussions, the Nevada Northern Railway has made its position clear on what is required to move the railroad track. The current right-of-way was converted from federal easements to real property by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (Public Law 109-59). The City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway’s position is that if the railroad track needs to be moved, then move it on to a new alignment that is also real property. Since the adjoining land is all under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the BLM only has the authority to grant easements, White Pine needs to explain what their plan is to have the new railroad track alignment change from federal land to private land. This change in land status may take an Act of Congress. The Nevada Northern Railway would like to review examples of land transfers that have happened in support of similar projects. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway needs to know what White Pine’s strategy is to accomplish receiving an Act of Congress to convert federal land to private land. If White Pine cannot succeed in receiving the Act of Congress, then the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway need an acknowledgement from White Pine that the railroad track does not move. The Study Plan mentions that “White Pine will conduct a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the APE to verify locations of previously recorded cultural resources and to identify previously unknown cultural resources in the APE.” Additionally, it states that “The survey will consist of crew members walking parallel transects spaced up to 30 meters (m) apart for ground surface inspection.” Any access of the railroad right-of-way and track will need the permission of the Nevada Northern Railway for access. The railroad track in the survey area is considered controlled track under Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49: Transportation, Part 214—Railroad Workplace Safety. Failure to receive permission from the Nevada Northern Railway prior to entering the railroad right-of-way and track is a violation of federal law and may be subject to federal fines. In Section 4.2.3, Step 3 - Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources, it states that “White Pine will use information gathered during the inventory to evaluate the eligibility of identified resources for inclusion in the NRHP…” As mentioned earlier, the entire HiLine Branch is eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The key component is the Lavon siding and telephone booth. The railroad had telephone booths at control points along the railroad. Today only three remain, with the Lavon telephone booth being one of the three. Section 4.2.4, Step 4 – Reporting states the following: White Pine will prepare a “privileged” report at the conclusion of the Study that includes the following sections: (1) Study Goals and Objectives, (2) Methods, and (3) Results. The report will include maps that clearly depict the following on USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps: the area examined, and the resources identified. The report will contain sensitive,
3

confidential, and privileged information. As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process. White Pine will seek SHPO’s concurrence on NRHP eligibility evaluations conducted during the Study. Following SHPO concurrence on the report, the report will be filed with FERC with a designation as “privileged.” White Pine will also provide a summary of findings for purposes of the public licensing process that excludes sensitive, confidential, and privileged information. The Nevada Northern Railway objects to White Pine preparing a “privileged” report and not allowing the public access to the report as it relates to findings involving the Nevada Northern Railway. The report is an evaluation of historic and cultural assets on public lands. As such, the public has a right to know what was found on the public’s land in relationship to the Nevada Northern Railway. This position of White Pine’s means that the Nevada Northern Railway would not receive a copy of the report. The railroad is perhaps the most significant historic and cultural assets in the study area. Section 4.2.4 states, “As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process…” This is unacceptable to the Nevada Northern Railway. The report needs to be made public as it relates to the Nevada Northern Railway. Furthermore the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation should receive a copy of the entire report. If the report needs to be “privileged”, the Foundation will honor that requirement. Recreation Resources Study The White Pine study plan states the following in regards to recreation: Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and • Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.” The Nevada Northern Railway objects to the premise of the section that the, “Construction of the Project may (emphasis added) have the potential to affect recreation facilities…” The Nevada Northern Railway wants to see the premise of this section changed from “may” to “will”. The Nevada Northern Railway wants White Pine to acknowledge that their Project will change and have a major impact on the area, especially the Nevada Northern Railway and its operations.

The reason why the Nevada Northern Railway wants the acknowledgement included in the study that White Pine’s project “will” have impacts on recreation in the area as illustrated in the next section of the study plan that states, “There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides.” The Nevada Northern Railway has developed recreational facilities within the study area. The biggest one is the Star Platform that was just doubled in size this spring. The Star Platform serves as an anchor for our very popular astro-tourism programs. These program are successful due to the region’s dark skies. This popularity of astro-tourism has increased the number trains that utilize this area to three a week with a possible increase projected in 2022. Additionally the Nevada Northern Railway is anticipating using the Star Platform for non-train related astro-tourism programing. It is envisioned that tourists would convoy out to the Star Platform in their vehicles to participate in a Dark Skies program. Additionally, the Nevada Northern Railway is creating a program that utilities the parallel service road as a bike trail. In cooperation with and in support of the White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board the Nevada Northern Railway will premier Rails to Trails in 2021. This program will allow bicyclists to take their bicycle on the train to the end of the HiLine. Once there, the bicyclists will get off the train and ride their bicycles back to Ely. We expect this to be a very popular program. White Pine’s Resource Study Plan is using out-of-date information on the use of the HiLine. This is illustrated in the following statement: Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. This quote is wrong and out-of-date: the railroad has evolved. The astro-tourism programs and the new Rails-to-Trails program has caused to use the HiLine Branch three to four times a week with additional trains programed for 2022 to use that branch. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is in the process of developing an electric railbike program to use the HiLine Branch. This program will rent electric-assisted railbikes to the public to operate on the HiLine branch. The HiLine branch was chosen for this program because of its views and remoteness. A pilot program is being developed for 2021. It is anticipated that the program will be a success and that the program will expand in 2022 to daily operations on the HiLine branch. Section 4.2 Study Methods, Section 4.2.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment, and Section 4.2.3 all raise concerns. It appears that the essence of these sections is to have the visitors and passengers of the Nevada Northern Railway prove to White Pine that the experience of riding the train is worthwhile. Rather the focus of the study needs to be White Pine proving to the Nevada Northern Railway that moving the track will not harm its already successful programs. The Nevada Northern Railway realizes the need for a Visitor Use Assessment, but we object to the way that White Pine proposes to go about it. The Visitor Use Assessment needs to be done by an independent third party that is mutually agreed on by the Nevada Northern Railway, White Pine

Tourism and Recreation Board, and White Pine. The Nevada Northern Railway will insist on veto power over the questions being asked and methodology of collecting the information. The Nevada Northern Railway already has successful programs that use the existing track. It is up to White Pine to prove that the possible realignment will not harm these programs. The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation agrees with the National Park Service that one study that is noticeably missing in your proposed Study Plan is a Socioeconomic Study. Along with the National Park Service the Foundation has also requested a Socioeconomic Study. Over the course of the last 37 years the Foundation has built a program that has gone from 2,000 visitors a year to almost 30,000. The Foundation and the community need to know what economic impact will happen to the railroad and the community due to White Pine’s Project. The Foundation agrees and supports the National Park Services request that the goals and objectives of the study include: This study will evaluate the economic contributions NNR visitor use has on the local economy, specifically the City of Ely and White Pine County. The purpose and objectives of this study are to 1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR, 2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute, and 3) evaluate any longterm socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation has worked hard over the last 37 years to build a program that is the pride of the community. When the Foundation was founded one of the goals was to become one of the economic engines of the community. We have accomplished that goal by bringing in millions of tourist dollar to the community annually. It is estimated that the railroad has brought in approximately $80,000,000 since operations first began. Thank you for this opportunity to present the views and the requests of the Foundation.

Discussion with NDOW and HDR regarding the noise analysis for the White Pine Pump Storage Project. Baseline noise measurements to be collected at active leks: • • • •
Canyon Spring NE Gilford Meadow Berry Creek – newly identified lek in Duck Creek, within 3.1 miles of the project, adjacent to county road 486, UTM coordinates provided by NDOW on 4/14/21 There is potential to add microphones at 2 additional leks in Duck Creek, Timber Creek Turnoff and Paine Meadow, these would require monitoring due to increase in traffic from construction on County road 486 during construction.
Need to provide NDOW anticipated construction traffic to determine if monitoring needs to occur at these leks. Need to provide NDOW maps or shapefiles of the facilities for the project to determine where the noise from the project will be. Discussion of Methodologies: NDOW’s preferred methods for noise measurements are a combination of 2018 and 2020 protocols. Discussion of equipment including microphone placement in sagebrush. Need to monitor for 7-10 consecutive days, need batteries to run the equipment for this long, don’t use solar panels. NDOW doesn’t require anemometers on the recording equipment and instead suggests putting microphones in brush to protect from wind. NDOW to send photos of equipment and microphone height. Place equipment 0.25 mi from lek point towards project. Discussion of transmission line and substation noise levels. Agreed that no monitoring needs to occur at leks nearest the transmission line due to the distance from the transmission line and distance to Hwy 50.
NDOW prefers and strongly recommends avoiding construction during lekking season (March 15-May 15) in the Duck Creek Basin.

Hi Maggie, Tim, and Ben Thank you for the conversation today. Attached are a few photos of the Larson Davis/Digital Recorder deployments. The Larson Davis SLM and batteries are in the large pelican case. The audio recorder and batteries for that system are in the small pelican case. As you can see, each system uses an independent microphone. Also attached is a Wildlife Acoustics SM4 deployment from a few weeks ago. While each site varies, and in some areas it is easier to find a clump of taller sagebrush than in others, we do our best to locate the systems in sagebrush that is relatively dense and >12” tall. I don’t have any photos of using dead sagebrush to build up around the mics, but I’m sure you get the idea. Here are the recorder options that we’ve used. Again, no expectation to switch your equipment, just an FYI. Roland R05 or Roland R07 with Wildtronic Micro Mic PIP microphones. This system had a noise floor of roughly 14 dBA. Sony PCM A10 Recorder with Clippy EM272 Stereo Microphone (https://micbooster.com/clippyand-pluggy-microphones/98-clippy-stereo-em272-microphone.html) Wildlife Acoustics SM4. We are currently using a few of these systems this year. They are a convenient self-contained system and stability seems to be equal or better than the Sony or Rolands, but we don’t have a lot of experience with them at this point. On the settings we’re using, we see a noise floor of 16 dBA. So far, they seem to run for about 10-14 days on 4 D-Cell batteries. When possible, we record in uncompressed .wav and use larger memory cards (500GB to 1TB, depending on duration and recorder set-up). I hope this helps. Please don’t help to contact me with any questions. Thanks, Matt

Hi Brett, Attached are updated shapefiles and POD for a revised 2920 application. We do need to have the NEPA discussion since I assume the IDT team at the BLM has met on the application at least once. We need to confirm the use of the short form and understand concerns to evaluate further. So far, Jason has only discussed sage grouse as a concern. Monica – can you save these on to BOX?

Good day Pam, I heard back from Jason regarding the updates to the 2920 permit and the decision not to use the NNR ROW to access BH-1. As soon as we can get him the updated 2920, shapefiles and POD he will move forward with processing. I also think we need to start having a NEPA discussion with the WPFO to stay on task with our end of August timeframe. If they would provide a preferred template and if we will be utilizing the short-form EA would be a good start. Thanks, Pam

BLM 2920 v3
WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC
Attachment 1 – Supplemental Information for Form 2920 *UPDATED*
BLM 2920 v3
April 2021 United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Land Use Application and Permit – Form 2920
Form 2920 Additional Space 7a. What do you propose to use the lands for? White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) intends to conduct a geotechnical program in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The geotechnical program will consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4). This Form 2920 Land Use and Application Permit is intended for the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical program. Permitting of the full proposed White Pumped Storage Project will be conducted under a separate scope and a submission of an SF-299 Right-of-Way application. For the purposes of this permit application, “Applicant” will refer to rPlus Energies (rPlus) and the geotechnical program is referred to as “Sample Activity.” The overall Sample Activity area is located within a 3.1 mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, therefore rPlus has modified the application submitted in November 2020 by revising access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse. Proposed Activity The Applicant intends to obtain a drilling contractor to provide geotechnical drilling services (geotechnical program) to support a preliminary design study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The Applicant requests to drill three borings approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology for engineering and design purposes. In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the proposed facility. Test pits will be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. The geotechnical program will primarily utilize existing roads for access and also construction of segments of new temporary access paths, which will be limited in length as much as possible. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. The three borings will be located across the Sample Activity area between the upper reservoir and lower reservoir. Boring 1 (B-1) will be located in the tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir area. Boring 2 (B-2) will be at the nearest road access to the anticipated powerhouse. Boring 3 (B-3) will be located at the anticipated upper reservoir shaft intake. Four of the test pits will be located in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3 and TPL-4) and one will be located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1). Maps of the Sample Activity vicinity, boring and test pit locations, as well as access roads, are provided in Attachment 2. Boring B-1 will likely encounter up to several hundred feet of granular valley fill alluvium overlying sedimentary bedrock. Applicant anticipates that valley fill alluvium will consist of loose to very dense sands and gravels with varying amounts of silt and clay. The valley fill alluvium may exhibit cementation at depth, may contain nested cobbles and boulders, and may form a groundwater aquifer.
WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC

BLM 2920 v3
April 2021
Borings B-2 and B-3 will likely encounter approximately 0 to 20 feet of primarily granular colluvium soils overlying sedimentary bedrock. Colluvium soils will likely be similar in texture to the valley fill alluvium described above. The geotechnical program will involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e.- smoothing) as well as segments of new access paths (further described in Section 2 below) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. 7b. What improvements and/or land development do you propose? Access to the boring locations is primarily along existing roads. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and will be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. New access paths will be used for areas off of existing roads to access bore holes B-1 and B-3. In addition, a 150 ft by 50 ft temporary staging area will be located on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. The staging yard will be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. Road maintenance and use of new access paths for drilling and sampling activities will be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces will be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Any disturbed boring, test pit locations, and access paths will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will then be a seeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas will be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. The proposed activities will not impact or alter existing land use. Additional Requested Information 1. Duration of Activities Field work is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 will work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two (2) 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews will divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel will travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Sample Activity site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity will require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated Sample Activity schedule is shown below in Table 1.

The Applicant is evaluating the possibility of future exploratory activities based on the test results of the activities proposed in this Application.
2. Sample Activity Access Route and Road Improvements The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, TPU-1) are described in detail below. The Applicant will utilize existing roads for access where possible and will provide road maintenance (i.e. smoothing) when needed. Construction of new temporary access paths will be constructed where necessary but limited in length as much as possible. Turnarounds for large equipment will be incorporated at each boring location. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated Sample Activity disturbances are listed in Table 2. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 utilizes existing roads off Highway 93 and approximately 2666 feet of new temporary access as illustrated in Figure 2.1 below. TPL-1 through TPL-4 can all be accessed by existing roads.

All limits of disturbed areas, including existing roads, drill pad, test pit pad, new access paths, and staging yard will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. If necessary, the contractor shall obtain necessary permitting and provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. 3. Drilling Activities Proposed Activities At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area will be used for a drill pad to facilitate drilling operations. Drill pads will be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor will operate an DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Equipment specification sheets are available upon request. All drills and equipment will be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. In addition to the three borings, the proposed scope of work includes excavating five test pit locations. A 50-foot by 50-foot test pit pad will be used to facilitate test pit operations. Limits of test pit pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Test pits will be a benched excavation that is 24-feet wide by 24-feet long by 24 feet deep utilizing a tracked hydraulic excavator. At each test pit location, spoils will be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit will be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. No personnel will be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk samples have been taken, all test pits will be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC

bucket. Backfill will be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Equipment The following equipment may be present onsite throughout the Sample Activity: 80,000-pound tracked excavator, 4,000-gallon water truck, geotechnical drill, in-situ testing equipment, tracked bulldozer, motor grader, forklift, generator, water pumping equipment, compressed gas cylinder (nitrogen), air compressor, utility vehicles, personal vehicles, semi-truck, core logging shack/tent. All equipment arriving onsite will be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Water for B-1 and B-2 will be obtained from an Ely hydrant and transported by water truck to the Sample Activity site. Water for B-3 will be obtained from Duck Creek Reservoir and transported by water truck to the Sample Activity site. Vehicular Traffic The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site will vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. Applicant will attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, Applicant will utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices Best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented throughout the Sample Activity areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap. BMPs will be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. All liquids will be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent any spillage or leakage, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets will include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and will be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers will be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures will be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel will be delivered to the Sample Activity area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. The fuel from the support pickup will be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or gas). Fuel from safety cans will be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling will be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit will be staged at each work site.

Test pits will be backfilled with the excavated material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill shall be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Bore holes will be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers will be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal must be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor will abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout will consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout will be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe will extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing will then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor shall add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor will return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting to “top-off” the boring with bentonite-cement grout if the grout column settles below the ground surface. The geotechnical contractor will check for grout settlement for at least two days following grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details will be recorded on the drillers daily log. Reclamation Surface restoration will not typically be performed until after the boring has been successfully grouted to the required level. Placing “top-off” grout to account for grout loss several days after the initial grouting may be required. Following boring closure and demobilization from the individual boring location, test pit location, and staging yard; the sites will be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation as described in 7b above and final stabilization of any disturbed areas will include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Any wheel ruts and marks will be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials will be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 4. Environmental Overview The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. B-1 sits at approximately elevation 6,570 feet, while B-2 sits at approximately elevation 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the proposed lower reservoir WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC

can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Sample Activity area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin PinyonJuniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy (. Species of vegetation include the sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 crosses east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3. B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover (Attachment 3, Figure 6). B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. As the access route to B-3 travels east, it traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats (Attachment 3, Figure 7). The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses perennially flowing water at Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat just before reaching the highway. During site visits to the boring locations during September 2020, several special-status species were observed and recorded. Table 3 list the species observed at each boring site and their status. None of the species observed are federally threatened, endangered, or other special status by the Endangered Species Act, but all species are listed as sensitive by the BLM (BLM 2017 1).

Cultural Resources Overview
A field survey of cultural resources in the Sample Activity area was performed during October and November 2020. Cultural survey of access to B-3 is anticipated to be completed in April of 2021 pending favorable snow and weather conditions. The cultural investigations are consistent with a BLM Class III inventory (including a records search, field survey, and reporting). The Sample Activity area features that underwent cultural field survey include the following: • Existing access roads – 30 feet wide corridors for survey • New access path – 200 feet wide corridors for survey • Drill pad – 300 feet diameter for survey • Test pit – 100 feet diameter for survey Final reports to the BLM for these surveys were submitted in January 2021 and are titled the following: • •
Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274B) Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for Additional Access Roads (the Southern Access) for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274D)
A brief summary of report findings are described below: Five archaeological sites were identified during the survey as well as one isolated item (a projectile point) (Table 5-1). Four of the sites were identified on the west side of the mountain range and one site WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC

and the isolated find were on the east side. Sites HDR-GGT-02, -03, -04 and the isolated find are being recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended prior to Sample Activity implementation for these resources. Site HDR-GGT-01 appears to be part of the old Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the U.S. The Lincoln Highway has been previously determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The section of the old Lincoln Highway in the Sample Activity area appears to have been previously graded and likely was once wider than it is now, as evidenced by additional roadbed/disturbed ground on one side of the road. Use of this road will consist of driving on the road and potential road grading. This use is unlikely to alter the current condition of the road and will likely not affect the integrity of this eligible resource. Thus, it is being recommended that no further cultural resources management measures are needed for this road prior to Sample Activity implementation. The final site, 26WP5336, consists of multiple segments of the NNR, which appears to also have been previously determined eligible for the NRHP. Vehicle crossings of the railroad will occur at approved, existing crossings and will require no alterations. As such, it is recommended that the Sample Activity will not affect the integrity of this resource. Therefore, no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended for this resource prior to Sample Activity implementation. Table 5-1.

Attachment 1 – Supplemental Information for Form 2920 *UPDATED*
BLM 2920 v3
April 2021 United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Land Use Application and Permit – Form 2920
Form 2920 Additional Space 7a. What do you propose to use the lands for? White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) intends to conduct a geotechnical program in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The geotechnical program will consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4). This Form 2920 Land Use and Application Permit is intended for the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical program. Permitting of the full proposed White Pumped Storage Project will be conducted under a separate scope and a submission of an SF-299 Right-of-Way application. For the purposes of this permit application, “Applicant” will refer to rPlus Energies (rPlus) and the geotechnical program is referred to as “Sample Activity.” The overall Sample Activity area is located within a 3.1 mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, therefore rPlus has modified the application submitted in November 2020 by revising access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse. Proposed Activity The Applicant intends to obtain a drilling contractor to provide geotechnical drilling services (geotechnical program) to support a preliminary design study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The Applicant requests to drill three borings approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology for engineering and design purposes. In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the proposed facility. Test pits will be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. The geotechnical program will primarily utilize existing roads for access and also construction of segments of new temporary access paths, which will be limited in length as much as possible. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. The three borings will be located across the Sample Activity area between the upper reservoir and lower reservoir. Boring 1 (B-1) will be located in the tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir area. Boring 2 (B-2) will be at the nearest road access to the anticipated powerhouse. Boring 3 (B-3) will be located at the anticipated upper reservoir shaft intake. Four of the test pits will be located in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3 and TPL-4) and one will be located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1). Maps of the Sample Activity vicinity, boring and test pit locations, as well as access roads, are provided in Attachment 2. Boring B-1 will likely encounter up to several hundred feet of granular valley fill alluvium overlying sedimentary bedrock. Applicant anticipates that valley fill alluvium will consist of loose to very dense sands and gravels with varying amounts of silt and clay. The valley fill alluvium may exhibit cementation at depth, may contain nested cobbles and boulders, and may form a groundwater aquifer.
WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 1
BLM 2920 v3
April 2021
Borings B-2 and B-3 will likely encounter approximately 0 to 20 feet of primarily granular colluvium soils overlying sedimentary bedrock. Colluvium soils will likely be similar in texture to the valley fill alluvium described above. The geotechnical program will involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e.- smoothing) as well as segments of new access paths (further described in Section 2 below) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. 7b. What improvements and/or land development do you propose? Access to the boring locations is primarily along existing roads. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and will be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. New access paths will be used for areas off of existing roads to access bore holes B-1 and B-3. In addition, a 150 ft by 50 ft temporary staging area will be located on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. The staging yard will be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. Road maintenance and use of new access paths for drilling and sampling activities will be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces will be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Any disturbed boring, test pit locations, and access paths will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will then be a seeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas will be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. The proposed activities will not impact or alter existing land use. Additional Requested Information 1. Duration of Activities Field work is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 will work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two (2) 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews will divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel will travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Sample Activity site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity will require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated Sample Activity schedule is shown below in Table 1.

2. Sample Activity Access Route and Road Improvements The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, TPU-1) are described in detail below. The Applicant will utilize existing roads for access where possible and will provide road maintenance (i.e. smoothing) when needed. Construction of new temporary access paths will be constructed where necessary but limited in length as much as possible. Turnarounds for large equipment will be incorporated at each boring location. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated Sample Activity disturbances are listed in Table 2. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 utilizes existing roads off Highway 93 and approximately 2666 feet of new temporary access as illustrated in Figure 2.1 below. TPL-1 through TPL-4 can all be accessed by existing roads.

Existing roads are previously disturbed and will not be expanded.
All limits of disturbed areas, including existing roads, drill pad, test pit pad, new access paths, and staging yard will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. If necessary, the contractor shall obtain necessary permitting and provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. 3. Drilling Activities Proposed Activities At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area will be used for a drill pad to facilitate drilling operations. Drill pads will be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor will operate an DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Equipment specification sheets are available upon request. All drills and equipment will be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. In addition to the three borings, the proposed scope of work includes excavating five test pit locations. A 50-foot by 50-foot test pit pad will be used to facilitate test pit operations. Limits of test pit pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Test pits will be a benched excavation that is 24-feet wide by 24-feet long by 24 feet deep utilizing a tracked hydraulic excavator. At each test pit location, spoils will be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit will be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. No personnel will be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk samples have been taken, all test pits will be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator

bucket. Backfill will be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Equipment The following equipment may be present onsite throughout the Sample Activity: 80,000-pound tracked excavator, 4,000-gallon water truck, geotechnical drill, in-situ testing equipment, tracked bulldozer, motor grader, forklift, generator, water pumping equipment, compressed gas cylinder (nitrogen), air compressor, utility vehicles, personal vehicles, semi-truck, core logging shack/tent. All equipment arriving onsite will be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Water for B-1 and B-2 will be obtained from an Ely hydrant and transported by water truck to the Sample Activity site. Water for B-3 will be obtained from Duck Creek Reservoir and transported by water truck to the Sample Activity site. Vehicular Traffic The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site will vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. Applicant will attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, Applicant will utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices Best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented throughout the Sample Activity areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap. BMPs will be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. All liquids will be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent any spillage or leakage, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets will include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and will be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers will be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures will be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel will be delivered to the Sample Activity area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. The fuel from the support pickup will be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or gas). Fuel from safety cans will be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling will be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit will be staged at each work site.

Test pits will be backfilled with the excavated material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill shall be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator so as to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Bore holes will be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers will be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal must be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor will abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout will consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout will be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe will extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing will then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor shall add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor will return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting to “top-off” the boring with bentonite-cement grout if the grout column settles below the ground surface. The geotechnical contractor will check for grout settlement for at least two days following grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details will be recorded on the drillers daily log. Reclamation Surface restoration will not typically be performed until after the boring has been successfully grouted to the required level. Placing “top-off” grout to account for grout loss several days after the initial grouting may be required. Following boring closure and demobilization from the individual boring location, test pit location, and staging yard; the sites will be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation as described in 7b above and final stabilization of any disturbed areas will include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Any wheel ruts and marks will be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials will be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 4. Environmental Overview The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. B-1 sits at approximately elevation 6,570 feet, while B-2 sits at approximately elevation 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the proposed lower reservoir WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 9
BLM 2920 v3
April 2021
can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Sample Activity area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin PinyonJuniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy (. Species of vegetation include the sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 crosses east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3. B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover (Attachment 3, Figure 6). B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. As the access route to B-3 travels east, it traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats (Attachment 3, Figure 7). The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses perennially flowing water at Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat just before reaching the highway. During site visits to the boring locations during September 2020, several special-status species were observed and recorded. Table 3 list the species observed at each boring site and their status. None of the species observed are federally threatened, endangered, or other special status by the Endangered Species Act, but all species are listed as sensitive by the BLM (BLM 2017 1).

Cultural Resources Overview
A field survey of cultural resources in the Sample Activity area was performed during October and November 2020. Cultural survey of access to B-3 is anticipated to be completed in April of 2021 pending favorable snow and weather conditions. The cultural investigations are consistent with a BLM Class III inventory (including a records search, field survey, and reporting). The Sample Activity area features that underwent cultural field survey include the following: • Existing access roads – 30 feet wide corridors for survey • New access path – 200 feet wide corridors for survey • Drill pad – 300 feet diameter for survey • Test pit – 100 feet diameter for survey Final reports to the BLM for these surveys were submitted in January 2021 and are titled the following: • •

and the isolated find were on the east side. Sites HDR-GGT-02, -03, -04 and the isolated find are being recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended prior to Sample Activity implementation for these resources. Site HDR-GGT-01 appears to be part of the old Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the U.S. The Lincoln Highway has been previously determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The section of the old Lincoln Highway in the Sample Activity area appears to have been previously graded and likely was once wider than it is now, as evidenced by additional roadbed/disturbed ground on one side of the road. Use of this road will consist of driving on the road and potential road grading. This use is unlikely to alter the current condition of the road and will likely not affect the integrity of this eligible resource. Thus, it is being recommended that no further cultural resources management measures are needed for this road prior to Sample Activity implementation. The final site, 26WP5336, consists of multiple segments of the NNR, which appears to also have been previously determined eligible for the NRHP. Vehicle crossings of the railroad will occur at approved, existing crossings and will require no alterations. As such, it is recommended that the Sample Activity will not affect the integrity of this resource. Therefore, no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended for this resource prior to Sample Activity implementation. Table 5-1.

Thank you Pam. Hi Jason, As you can see, we’ve explored alternatives to minimize our footprint for this effort but unfortunately discussions with the NNR were not fruitful. We’ve requested HDR provide their full support by answering the BLM’s team questions as thoroughly and as quickly as possible. If there is anything we can do to accelerate BLM’s efforts, do not hesitate to ask. The winter season is very challenging for us to conduct the exploratory Geotech work; we truly hope this application can be processed in a manner to allow efforts to start and complete prior to late fall season. (We, of course, are very willing to adopt or implement any recommendations your team requires for the effort to be accomplished.) Thank you for your time and energy. Best Regards, Cliff

Hi Maggie – Thank you for the follow-up and additional information. After discussing internally, we recommend collecting baseline sound level data at the Timber Creek turnoff and Paine Meadow leks in addition to Berry Creek Turnoff, Gilford Meadow, and Canyon Springs NE. This recommendation is consistent with our past recommendations for baseline data collection that involves a distinct project site and relatively significant changes to traffic levels for construction and/or operations outside of the proposed project area. The addition of more than 35 trips per day for geotechnical drilling is a relatively substantial increase for this area and you’ve stated that construction traffic will exceed this level by an unknown quantity. Given the proximity of the Timber Creek Turnoff lek to the private residence, there is potential for different sound levels between Timber Creek and Paine Meadow, thus our recommendation that both leks are included in the baseline work. We consider monitoring at each of these five lek sites to be important. As we previously discussed, our preference would be that drilling and construction occur outside of lekking periods to better avoid and minimize noise impacts during these phases and we would continue to recommend this be considered to avoid and minimize these noise impacts to sagegrouse. We appreciate your coordination. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Most of the birds will be on the east of the meadow near the old corrals. There should be a pin there labeled “most males are near the corrals”. It is a spread out lek so it makes it tough.

Hi, Danielle. The APE starts with the the project footprint as well as any additional related construction activities beyond the footprint. Also, if there are any tribal resources involved, this would include visual and audio kinds of effects (originally considered indirect effects). So you’re looking at effects to any existing archeological and built environment, as well as effects to nearby households and tribal resources. Inventories should follow suit, including archeological, built environment, and ethnographic surveys and studies. Let me know if that answers your questions. Frank

White Pine Waterpower, LLC is proceeding under FERC’s Traditional Licensing Process to develop a license application for the Project. On March 10, 2021 White Pine Waterpower, LLC distributed draft study plans for agency and stakeholder review, and on April 8, 2021 we sent a follow up email requesting comments. We have received comments from NPS, NDOW, White Pine County, and others. We would like to ask if BLM has any review comments for us as we proceed toward study implementation. We are seeking BLM’s review of study plans as well as participation in the overall FERC licensing process. rPlus expects that FERC will be the lead agency for the NEPA process to license the White Pine Project, and that BLM will coordinate with FERC to the maximum extent practicable in the NEPA process (42 USC 4370m-4). As we discussed on January 29, 2021, rPlus would like to proceed with BLM’s assurance that the environmental studies and other NEPA process steps currently underway continue to be sufficient to address BLM’s NEPA needs in moving toward authorizing the White Pine Project including the associated bore hole NEPA authorization with a signed Decision by August 27, 2021.

Intro review of map Bore hole location review o One at the boundary of PHMA/GMA: would help if that one borehole site was relocated on to GHMA lands and not PHMA lands o Other bore hole has access roads through PHMA lands, but they are existing 2-track roads Changes to 2920 application since initial submittal o Borehole 1 access has changed (no longer runs along the east of the railroad but now runs west of it), access to borehole 3 has changed Borehole (BH) siting o Where they are currently aligns with the upper reservoir’s intake/outlet (BH3), powerhouse (BH2) and lower reservoir’s outlet tunnel (BH1). o Moving them is not practical because where they are is critical to engineering HDR has been coordinating with NDOW on lek surveys including ongoing noise monitoring. Over 100 transects have been completed as well by HDR biologists. Currently the 2920 application is with BLM HDR can send Nancy the shapefile package that also included kmz files with the updated application that was sent out in April if she cannot find the data. Timeline (screen shot below of what was discussed) o BLM scoping meeting could occur in the next two weeks o A 30-day public comment period will be required because of being in sage grouse habitat o Protest appeal period is typically 30 days o BLM believes the schedule is close to what is possible but may go into September o IDT Team meeting will be organized for next week Cultural field authorization: no reason not to authorize it; they are good to survey

Initiating Consultation and Requesting Concurrence on the Area of Potential Effects under Section 106 of the NHPA for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project Number 14851; White Pine County, Nevada
Dear Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely (see Attachment 1). White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC; FERC Project Number 14851). The issuance of a license by FERC to White Pine is a federal undertaking subject to compliance with relevant federal historic preservation laws. In particular, as the lead federal agency for the undertaking, FERC must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq.), which requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. 1 FERC has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) along with designation of White Pine as the non-federal representative in accordance with Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 800.2(c)(4) for purposes of consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA (see Attachment 2). 2 On behalf of White Pine under the authority of the FERC, HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) is seeking to initiate consultation with the Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) per 36 CFR Section 800.3 for the Project. In addition, in accordance with 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1), we are requesting your concurrence on the appropriateness of the area of potential effects (APE) for the proposed undertaking.

“Historic property means any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria” (36 CFR Section 800.16(l)(1). 2 FERC issued an NOI on July 13, 2020, accession number 20200713-3032.

Nevada SHPO Initiation of Section 106 Consultation White Pine Pumped Storage Project May 14, 2021 page 2
Project Description The proposed Project would consist of: (1) a new 58-acre, at normal maximum operating water level (NMWL), upper reservoir impounded by a 175-foot-tall, 1,170-foot-long lined rockfill dam; (2) a new 80-acre, at NMWL, lower reservoir impounded by a 130-foot-tall, 5,200-foot-long lined rockfill dam; (3) a water conveyance system consisting of: (a) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,000-foot-long, concrete-lined vertical shaft, (b) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,500-foot-long, concrete-lined horizontal high-pressure headrace tunnel, (c) three 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined penstocks, (d) three 13foot-diameter, steel-lined draft tube tunnels, and (e) a 23-foot-diameter, concrete-lined tailrace tunnel; (4) a buried 390-foot-long, 90-foot-wide, 150-foot-high powerhouse containing three 333MW generating units; (5) a separate step-up transformer cavern, connected to the powerhouse by two small tunnels; (6) a new approximately 23-mile-long, 345-kilovolt transmission line utilizing an existing powerline right-of-way, and interconnecting at the Robinson Substation; (7) approximately 7 miles of combined new Project access roads leading to Project facilities; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The Project may also require the realignment of the Nevada Northern Railroad. Accordingly, the potential realignment of the railroad is also part of the Project description and is considered a Project component. Approximately 4 miles of track may be realigned. The upper reservoir will be located in the Duck Creek Range and connected via tunnel to a lower reservoir located at an elevation about 2,000 feet lower in the Steptoe Valley near Highway 93. The Project has a planned generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts via a closed loop system whereby water flows from the upper reservoir, through an underground powerhouse, to the lower reservoir and back again, representing about 1/8th of Nevada’s peak power demand on a hot summer day. When starting with a full upper reservoir, the plant would be capable of providing full power output for eight hours before needing to be re-charged. The water requirement for providing this level of power output and storage duration is a one-time fill of approximately 5,000 acre-feet, supplemented periodically only by what is needed to make up for evaporation loss. Area of Potential Effects Description The proposed Project construction, operation, and maintenance has the potential to affect historic properties. As defined in the applicable regulations found at 36 CFR 800.16(d), the APE is “...the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historical properties, if any such properties exist.” White Pine has defined the APE for the proposed Project as all lands within the Primary Facility Corridor depicted in the map included in Attachment 1. The APE defined for the Project includes the proposed disturbance footprint for Project components (roads, facilities and staging areas, monitoring wells, and a transmission line corridor)

Nevada SHPO Initiation of Section 106 Consultation White Pine Pumped Storage Project May 14, 2021 page 3
(Attachment 3). To ensure that proposed disturbance related to these facilities has been included, the following buffers were applied to these components: • • • • •
Access Roads: 50 feet to either side of 100 foot wide road corridors (200 feet total width); Facilities/Reservoirs/Conveyance: 200 feet beyond facility footprints; Monitoring Wells: 400 foot diameter; Transmission Line: 62 feet to either side of the 125 foot right-of-way corridor (250 feet total width); and Railroad Realignment: 50 feet to either side of 100 foot wide right-of-way corridor (200 feet total width).
During construction, there would be significant activity around the lower reservoir area off Highway 93 and at the upper reservoir site. This would primarily involve earth-moving activity. Underground activity would be primarily tunneling. An existing road to the upper site, accessed off Duck Creek Highway, will need to be improved for Project access. Any other road improvements needed to minimize dust, etc. will be made. To avoid creating water truck traffic on Duck Creek Highway, the current plan is to pump water via a temporary pipeline to the upper reservoir construction site. After construction, the Project would produce no emissions, noise or light pollution, and traffic would be very minimal. The upper reservoir dam, since it would be set inside a ravine, would not be visible from either Steptoe Valley or Duck Creek Valley from most angles. In terms of visual impact of the Project structures, the lower reservoir embankment would be set against the hillside and landscaped to minimize visual impact. The transmission line corridor will parallel an existing transmission line corridor and thus significant changes to the viewscape from the Project transmission line are not expected. Visual simulations will be created as part of the preparation of the FERC license application in 2021. As currently planned, the primary traffic to the Project would be during crew changes for staffing the powerhouse, which would be accessed from Highway 93. Visits to the upper reservoir site would be minimal. It is possible that studies implemented as part of the licensing process may identify Project-related activities that have the potential to affect historic properties outside the APE. It is also possible that during licensing, Project design changes may be proposed that are outside the original APE. If such areas are identified, the APE will expand to address these other areas or activities. During the licensing process, White Pine will conduct informal consultation with Section 106 consulting parties throughout implementation of a Cultural Resources Study (Study) to inform

FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. It is expected that consulting parties will include: Native American tribes; the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the Nevada SHPO; and other potentially interested parties. White Pine has identified the following Native American tribes as potential consulting parties: Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe; Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada; and Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians. 3 The Study focuses on the identification of archaeological and built environment (i.e., buildings and structures) cultural resources, along with engaging stakeholders regarding the identification of any Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) 4. Study results may be used in the development of terms or conditions of any license issued by FERC for the purpose of protecting or treating impacts to historic properties that would result from Project construction or operations and maintenance (O&M), or for the purpose of enhancing historic properties that would be affected by Project construction and O&M. Because it is not possible to determine all of the effects of various activities that may occur over the course of a license, White Pine plans to develop a Historic Properties Management Plan (HPMP) in consultation with consulting parties to manage potential effects on historic properties throughout the term of a license issued by FERC. FERC typically completes Section 106 by entering into a Programmatic Agreement (PA) or Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the licensee, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), if they choose to participate, and the SHPO that requires the licensee to develop and implement an HPMP in consultation with Section 106 consulting parties. White Pine will prepare a “privileged” report at the conclusion of the Study that will contain sensitive, confidential, and privileged information and will work with FERC, SHPO, the BLM, and tribes to ensure that confidential information is shared with consulting parties appropriately. White Pine will seek SHPO concurrence on any NRHP eligibility determinations. The study report will be filed with FERC with a designation as “privileged.” White Pine will also provide a summary of findings for purposes of the public licensing process that excludes sensitive, confidential, and privileged information. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1), White Pine requests your concurrence on the appropriateness of the APE for the proposed undertaking. Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4, we look forward to receiving your response within 30 days of your receipt of this submittal. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding the attachments or any other aspect of this transmittal, please do not hesitate to contact Brett Burgess, Permitting 3
FERC initiated formal consultation with Native American tribes on August 11, 2020 (see Attachment 4). A traditional cultural property (TCP) is a property that is significant because of its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that are rooted in that community’s history and are important in maintaining the cultural identity of the community. 4

FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON D.C. 20426 August 11, 2020
OFFICE OF ENERGY PROJECTS Project No. 14851-001 – Nevada White Pine Pumped Storage Project White Pine Waterpower, LLC VIA Electronic Mail Rupert Steele, Tribal Chairman Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation rupert.steele@ctgr.us Reference: Project Consultation with Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation Dear Tribal Chairman Steele: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) invites your participation in the licensing process for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project No. 14851 (White Pine Project). The Commission’s licensing process is an opportunity for both the applicant and interested agencies, tribes, and other stakeholders to consider the proposed project, and the need for protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures that may need to be implemented over the term of any license issued for the project. The 1,000-megawatt (MW) White Pine Project would be located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada. As proposed, the project would occupy approximately 917 acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. White Pine Waterpower, LLC has requested to use the Commission’s Traditional Licensing Process to license the project. A Notice of Intent and Pre-Application Document were filed with the Commission on May 15, 2020. The proposed project would consist of: (1) a new 58-acre, at normal maximum operating water level (NMWL), upper reservoir impounded by a 175-foot-tall, 1,170foot-long lined rockfill dam; (2) a new 80-acre, at NMWL, lower reservoir impounded by a 130-foot-tall, 5,200-foot-long lined rockfill dam; (3) a water conveyance system consisting of: (a) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,000-foot-long, concrete-lined vertical shaft, (b) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,500-foot-long, concrete-lined horizontal high-pressure headrace tunnel, (c) three, 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined penstocks, (d) three, 13-foot-diameter, steel-lined draft tube tunnels, and (e) a 23-foot-diameter, concrete-lined tailrace tunnel;
Document Accession #: 20200811-3030
Filed Date: 08/11/2020
2 (4) a buried 390-foot-long, 90-foot-wide, 150-foot-high powerhouse containing three 333-MW generating units; (5) a separate step-up transformer cavern, connected to the powerhouse by two small tunnels; (6) a new, approximately 23-mile-long, 345-kilovolt transmission line utilizing an existing powerline right-of-way, and interconnecting at the Robinson Substation; (7) approximately 7 miles of combined new project access roads leading to project facilities; and (8) appurtenant facilities. Initial fill for the proposed lower reservoir would require 5,115 acre-feet of water, over the first-year fill period, which would be obtained from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County for well sites north of McGill, Nevada. The project would generate approximately 2,920 gigawatt-hours annually. To ensure that issues of concern to you are being addressed in the current prefiling phase of the process, Commission staff invites you to meet with them at this time. Any such meeting can be limited to members of our respective staff, or it can include other tribes, 1 White Pine Waterpower, LLC, or any other stakeholder(s) you wish. Please note that once a license application is filed with the Commission, our rules generally prohibit off-the-record communications between Commission employees and those outside of the Commission, where such communications are relevant to the merits of a contested on-the-record proceeding. 2 If possible, we would appreciate your response by September 10, 2020. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file your response using the Commission’s eFiling system at https://ferconline.ferc.gov/FERCOnline.aspx.

Informal Consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851, White Pine County, Nevada
Honorable Tribal Chairman Steele, White Pine Waterpower, LLC is preparing a license application for an original license with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (the Project; FERC Project Number 14851). The 1,000-megawatt (MW) Project would be located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada. As proposed, the Project would occupy approximately 2,463 acres, of which approximately 2,212 acres of land are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Project will consist of an off-stream, closed-loop, pumped storage project comprised of two new artificial reservoirs joined by underground conduits, along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The 1,000 MW Project consists of: (1) a new upper reservoir with a storage capacity of 4,670 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately 8,550 feet above mean sea level (msl) created through construction of a new lined rockfill dam; (2) a new lower reservoir with a total storage capacity of 4,880 acre-feet at a surface elevation of 6,525 feet msl; (3) a tunnel and penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a new underground powerhouse containing three turbine-generator units; (5) a new transmission line connecting the powerhouse to a nearby electric grid interconnection; (6) the water conveyance to the currentlyproposed water supply well; and (7) appurtenant facilities. A map of the Project vicinity, boundary, and proposed facilities is provided in Attachment 1. In considering an original license for the Project, FERC has the lead responsibility for compliance with applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to historic properties (i.e., cultural resources eligible for or included in the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]), including the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties within the

Intent of meeting and introductions PowerPoint Presentation o Overview ▪ Facility scoping for rPlus 2920 permit application for borehole and test pits associated with the White Pine Pumped Storage Hydro (WPPH) Project; geotechnical investigation is needed to inform preliminary design and engineering as part of the feasibility study of the project. ▪ The SF 2920 application was originally submitted on 11/24/2020. In consultation with BLM, on 4/20/2021 SF 2920 application was updated and re-submitted for 3 borings and 5 test pits with 1.62 acres of new temporary disturbances [calculations provided on slide 3 of the presentation]. o Field study efforts ▪ Greater sage grouse lek and habitat assessments: There has been ongoing coordination with NDOW. Lek counts have been completed, noise measurements have been collected, and debit analysis results have been submitted. Coordination with BLM on compensatory mitigation is ongoing. [Map shown of active lek sites in relation to access roads and boreholes on slide 6 of the presentation] ▪ Cultural: Surveys have been completed for 2920 application with five sites and one isolated find surveyed. All are sites are ineligible excepting multiple segments of the Nevada Northern Railroad and part of the old
1
o
Lincoln Highway. Six reports will be completed in total, some in preparation and some have been submitted already. ▪ Some habitat info from terrestrial surveys and vegetation mapping, and data on observed BLM-sensitive species, has been included in the 2920 application that has been collected to-date. Schedule [Detailed schedule shown on slide 8 of the presentation] ▪ Schedule is rapid with a planned NTP on 9/14/2021 • SETT reminder that state regulation requires that the mitigation be completed before any ground disturbances occur. However, if 1/3 of credits are purchased, paperwork to phase in the other 2/3 of credits will be required • rPlus/HDR to coordinate directly with credit developers to purchase credits • additional mitigation may be necessary for non-conformance with land use plan (construction in lek buffer, PHMA/GHMA habitat, etc.). ▪ The sage grouse mitigation analysis as drafted by HDR is being reviewed and NDOW should have results by the end of the week. NDOW will write a QA letter addressed to proponent and BLM and send out when completed. ▪ Land use plan conformance: Road off PHMA is of concern to the County. • Will there be a public comment period? There is nothing set in stone, but it is not out of the question. Jeremy Drew, representing the County, recommends a public meeting and if not that, a joint meeting with the County. There is also a desire to get more details on road usage, railway, and wildlife beyond sage grouse such as big game. ▪ SETT mitigation can maybe offset impacts for BLM; it is not confirmed or completely known, however. ▪ NDOW recommends identifying the criteria that needs to be met first • Kelly McGowan stated that any mitigation beyond the SETTrequired mitigation must be reviewed and approved by the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council. Council next meets July 22-23; next meeting not until September. Process could occur quickly or could take 6 months or more. ▪ rPlus noted that the permit is being processed already for more than 180 days. Even if drilling to investigate geotechnical conditions of the project begins in September, the Pumped Storage Project will not be in construction until 2025 and cannot be commissioned until 2032. Therefore, delay in permit for geotechnical investigation as part of the project’s feasibility study would further delay the execution of the Pumped Storage Project. rPlus has contracted a local bank to perform initial economic impacts of the Pumped Storage Project and it will be a large influx economically for the White Pine County community and the State of Nevada and a significant modernization of the energy storage system. ▪ Jared Bybee stated that the path forward for sage grouse is the waiver modification process. Concetta Brown will set up a meeting for the relevant parties, including SETT and NDOW. It is appropriate to include Maggie Cummings of HDR because this is a 3rd-party EA.

EA
Kody Menghini of NDOW noted that big game is also of concern in addition to sage grouse; the proposed action is in critical winter range for mule deer.
Concetta has not yet distributed the list of resources to be analyzed to the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). Jared stated that these issues must be addressed, based on this call: land use plan conformance; sage grouse and potential modifications and waivers; wildlife including big game habitat; access; railroad impacts; cultural resources (Lisa Gilbert noted Lincoln Highway will not be directly affected but there may be visual impacts, will need to run past SHPO. HDR architectural report addressing this). Concetta added geology and will check on hydrology. Concetta will distribute the table of resources to be analyzed and the IDT team will have 2 weeks (until June 10) to respond. Next steps ▪ Meeting to finalize the credit analysis ▪ Meeting to determine waiver modification process and the authorized action ▪ EA development: Concetta will send out a resource assessment table to the IDT to identify the issues to be analyzed in the EA. HDR can get started on the NEPA analysis for the EA with issues noted above. ▪

Drilling getting done this year is critical for the schedule and for the project to be completed o For the limited disturbance, it seems a lot but the biggest issue is BH-3 that is 200’ within the sensitive habitat and rPlus has committed to moving the borehole out of that critical habitat; putting the entire project in GHMA lands, thereby avoiding the land use issues. If an updated 2920 application can be provided, BLM will turn it around relatively quickly o Updated 2920 application maps and GIS Shapefiles of the borehole shift will be provided. o Project will still need to work with the State of Nevada including obtaining credits and working with the SETT. CatX vs EA o Access roads still play a role. Because the access roads needed still cross into the critical sage grouse habitat, BLM says an EA will still be needed. o 2920 states the 2-track will be smoothed over but cannot go any wider. o Water truck access will be a concern, notably going downhill. The project may pursue an exemption in the PHMA lands for the full build but cannot determine that until exploratory drilling is conducted to assess integrity and geology of the site. rPlus expects that it will take several years to permit and work through. o A ROW grant will be needed to amend the land use agreement. Like the Yellow Pine project and the desert tortoise. It does carry a risk of being contended and not being approved. Next steps o Submit revised 2920 application maps and GIS data o Draft an EA as per NEPA process discussed on Tuesday’s 5/25/2021 meeting with the template Concetta provided following it. o A draft EA will be available next week. ▪ HDR has anticipated the resources they expect to be raised. If BLM wants additional resources analyzed, HDR can edit the EA accordingly.

Hello Monica, We can chat this week if you'd like. I'll let you know some of the basics of tribal consultation in this email we can chat about any questions you might have. Tribal consultation is an "inherently Governmental function" meaning it is the responsibility of the agency and cannot be consulted out. Because formal consultation is Government to Government communication, the conversation must be between a line officer at BLM and the government representatives of the Tribe. A line officer is one of the managers here who have the authority to represent the Secretary of the Interior. So HDR's role would only be to coordinate with me, so that I may arrange those meetings with BLM management and Tribal leaders. HDR can have the notes and logs of calls, meetings, or field visits to draft the NEPA sections regarding Tribal interaction. The content of the notes may be considered confidential and not appropriate for publication in publicly available documents and must be kept secure by HDR. HDR may plan informal and/or informational interactions with Tribal representatives including field visits, kick off meetings, ID Team meetings, etc. I hope this is helpful, when this week are you available for a chat? -Liz

I appreciate the overview of BLM’s process for consultation. White Pine Waterpower, LLC received designation from FERC to be the non-federal representative for informal consultation under Section 106, and HDR will be assisting with the consultation (but obviously not conducting
“consultation” as it is a government to government function), including informal/informational interactions with Tribal representatives as you’ve outlined below, and with distributing a cultural resources inventory report to the Tribes and BLM for review and comment. We understand the potential for confidential and privileged information shared and keep such information secure. Perhaps we can touch base tomorrow morning at 9:30 to talk about how and when HDR might coordinate directly with you? If that works for you, I can send an Outlook invitation. -Monica Monica Ruth

Hi Jared, Per our discussion last week, we are providing this updated mapping to replace the mapping for the existing White Pine 2920 application rather than submitting a full revised application. Attached is a figure of updated bore hole and test pit locations and their access routes for the White Pine 2920 geotechnical study. Borings B-3, B-1 and test pits have been moved in order to reduce impacts. You will see that there are now no new access roads and the bore holes and test pits are outside of sage grouse PHMA. The impacts have been decreased from 1.62 acres to 0.74 acres of disturbance of which 0.57 acres are on BLM land. Given that this new design does not include new access roads, we understand that the study effort could qualify for a categorical exclusion. Can you let us know if this is the case?

RISK ASSESSMENT FOR NOXIOUS & INVASIVE WEEDS White Pine Waterpower Boring White Pine County, Nevada
SECTION 1 - PROPOSED ACTION
PROPOSED ACTION: The proponent proposes to perform a geotechnical study of the area in which they propose to construct a 1,000-megawatt closed-loop pumped storage facility. The study will involve boring test pits into the affected areas to determine suitability for the proposed use. To access the area, the proponent will need to use current roads and construct new road to the sites. The area is in the Duck Creek Transportation Plan area. Need for Proposal: The project is necessary to determine viability of the area for the proposed pump storage project. Decision to be made: Whether to approve the project as proposed. Whether to approve the project with stipulations and/or modifications. Whether to deny the project.
SECTION 2 - CURRENT CONDITIONS
No project-specific field weed survey was completed for this project, but a general survey of the area has been completed in May 2021. Additionally, the Ely District Weed Inventory data were consulted. There are currently noxious infestations within or adjacent to the project area. Table 1 shows the noxious species that are documented within and/or adjacent to the project area: TABLE 1 - PROJECT AREA NOXIOUS SPECIES COMMON NAME
LATIN NAME
Malta starthistle Sowthistle Spotted knapweed Squarrose knapweed Yellow toadflax Yellow starthistle Diffuse knapweed

NEVADA NOXIOUS WEED CATEGORY (NAC 555.010)
CATEGORY A1
CATEGORY B2
CATEGORY C3
1 Category A noxious weeds are weeds that are generally not found or that are limited in distribution throughout the state. 2 Category B noxious weeds are weeds that are generally established in scattered populations in some counties of the state. 3 Category C noxious weeds are weeds that are generally established and generally widespread in many counties of the state.
The general area was last inventoried for noxious weeds in 2021. Table 2 shows a list of invasive (not noxious) species found within and/or adjacent to the project area.
TABLE 2 - AREA INVASIVE (NOT NOXIOUS) SPECIES COMMON NAME LATIN NAME Common burdock Arctium minus Cheatgrass Bromus tectorum Bur buttercup Ceratocephala testiculata Bull thistle Cirsium vulgare Field bindweed Convolvulus arvensis Filaree Erodium circutarium Kochia Kochia scoparia Halogeton Halogeton glomeratus Horehound Marrubium vulgare Russian thistle Salsola kali Tumble mustard Sysimbrium altissimum Yellow salsify Tragopogon dubius
SECTION 3 - RISK RATING TABLE 3 - FACTOR 1 Factor 1 assesses the likelihood of noxious/invasive weed species spreading to the project area. None (0) Low (1-3) Moderate (4-7)
High (8-10)
Noxious/invasive weed species are not located within or adjacent to the project area. Project activity is not likely to result in the establishment of noxious/invasive weed species in the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species are present in the areas adjacent to but not within the project area. Project activities can be implemented and prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species located immediately adjacent to or within the project area. Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area. TABLE 4 - FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area. Low to Nonexistent (1-3) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring. TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10) Moderate (11-49)
High (50-100)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area. Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed: • Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities. • Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. • Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. • Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Recreation Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • •
Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides. More broadly, there are recreation and tourism opportunities in the Project vicinity. Page 1
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
The Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada. Over ninety-five percent of the land in White Pine County is in federal ownership, largely administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (White Pine County Planning and Land Use Advisory Committee (PLUAC)). The Primary Facility Corridors are within the Nevada Regional BLM Ely Field Office planning area and generally recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, crosscountry skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described in the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities (BLM 2007). White Pine County offers recreational pursuits including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, along with off highway vehicles and motorcycles (PLUAC). White Pine County reports growing recreation interest in the region, including growth in new forms of recreation including mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowmobiling (PLUAC). White Pine County coordinated with land managing entities in the County to develop its recreation policies (PLUAC). Recreation policies are intended to protect and develop natural amenities for the public’s multiple use benefit (PLUAC). Policies include conserving open space; encouraging sustainable recreational use; promoting “Eco-tour” and responsible off highway vehicle businesses; encouraging the development of a community ski hill; encouraging dispersed recreation opportunities on appropriate public lands; identifying, protecting, and developing public lands with value for concentrated recreational use, concentrating open space, park, and recreation facilities as close to resident populations as feasible; protecting and promoting the Lincoln Highway corridor as a cultural and recreational resource; protecting water quality and water rights for recreational fishing at important water resources; supporting hunting and fishing as recreational resources and as multiple uses of public lands; endorsing the State’s programs to provide sustained levels of game animals; and encouraging the development of hiking and recreational trails on public lands (PLUAC). The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual halfmarathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). The Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot are located in Ely. NNR offers excursions to the public for a fee (NNR undated). Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Primary Facility Corridors. There are three parks in McGill, which include a warm spring-fed swimming pool and playfields. The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill (McGill Nevada 2016).
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of recreation facilities and resources, including open space and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Game Management Hunt Units within approximately 10 miles of the Page 2
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. The Primary Facility Corridors include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
A Recreation Resources Study will be conducted consisting of three tasks: 1. Perform an outdoor recreation facility and resource inventory within the study area; 2. Estimate the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch; and 3. Reporting.
4.2.1
Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimate
White Pine will conduct an inventory to document the existing recreation facilities and resources within the study area. The inventory will include the following outdoor recreation facilities: • • • • • • • •
Timber Creek Group Picnic/Campground Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Bird Creek Campground East Creek Campground Cave Lake State Park Ward Mountain Campground/Picnic Site Berry Creek Campground Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot
White Pine will describe the type and location of each facility, the type of recreation provided (train excursions, camping, hunting, etc.), site capacity, estimated use levels (if available), and any future capital improvement or management plans for recreation facilities and resources potentially affected by the Project. Where possible, White Pine will obtain the information from available public records (e.g., satellite imagery, internet) or through telephone and email contact with recreation facility owners and operators. A field inventory will be conducted as needed to prepare a thorough inventory and reasonable use estimates.
4.2.2
Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment
The NNR visitor use assessment will collect visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age), perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine will communicate with NNR to obtain existing visitor data, including demographics, use estimates, and revenues. White Pine will supplement existing information through coordination with NNR to administer surveys on up to 10 representative NNR HiLine Branch excursions during 2021, with a goal of completing 100 surveys. Survey administrators will contact visitors during or immediately after their excursions. The survey instrument is designed to elicit information on visitors’ characteristics, and their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch excursions (Attachment 2). White Pine considered NPS’ Pool of Known Questions in developing the survey instrument (NPS 2020).

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
4.2.3
Reporting
Results of the facility inventory/use estimate and the NNR visitor use assessment will form the basis of the Recreation Study Report, to include: • •
•
•
Narrative and tabular description of recreation facilities and resources in the study area, including site capacity and use estimates or projections. Summary of NNR visitor demographics, perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine also proposes to conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the currently-proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Information from the visual and aesthetic study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment findings. Analysis of the effects of Project construction and operation on existing recreation facilities and resources in the immediate Project vicinity and on NNR visitor opportunities, use, and experiences. Identification and evaluation of potential recreation enhancements.
In addition to preparing a Recreation Study Report, White Pine will use information from this study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements. Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.
5.0 Schedule White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning .................................................................................................... January – February 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................... March – August 2021 Study Report Preparation ................................................................... September – November 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report. The Report will be incorporated into the Draft License Application.

Folks live in this area for the beauty of the mountains, valleys, ability to camp, hike, hunt, and fish right out our back door. The Mayor and City Council have a sworn duty to do what the people who elected them tant them to do. The public needs to be made aware of what is being proposed. Regarding the draft environmental Visual and Aesthetic Resources study, construction of the White Pine Pump Hydro Project will cause permanent damage to the natural beauty of the area.
White Pine conducted a meeting to introduce the Project to the Ely community on September 1, 2020. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other federal, state, and local permitting agencies will also conduct their own notice and meeting procedures to engage persons interested in the Project. White Pine appreciates the City’s openness to discussion and negotiation. Possible realignment of a portion of the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) is subject to engineering and design processes which are currently underway. White Pine recognizes that local residents and businesses are interested in the resources, lands, and waters potentially affected by the construction and operation of the Project. White Pine continues to provide information through various forms of communication, including local media, email communication, and internet. The Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study report will describe impacts to existing visual quality and identify any potential modifications to the proposed Project facilities to conform to the existing visual setting.

Recreation Resources Study Your proposed study should address one of the stated purposes of the NPS’s requested study, which is to determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors. However, your proposed study would not sufficiently address the second purpose of NPS’s requested study, which is to characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be affected by the Project. Data on visitor experiences is more qualitative in nature and not easily captured using a survey instrument such as the one you propose. More in-depth data collection is necessary to qualify visitor experiences. This includes user interviews and focus groups discussions with NNR personnel and others involved in the train rides, such as NPS rangers involved in the Star Trains. Such discussions could help you redesign your survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would potentially be impacted by the proposed Project.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response
White Pine intends to request visitor counts from NNR, as well as any demographic information NNR provides. The survey instrument includes questions on zip code (or country) of origin, gender, age, and primary language. White Pine intends to consult with NNR staff, and Great Basin National Park staff if available, to refine the survey instrument as appropriate. The survey instrument includes an open-ended question for additional comments from visitors.

County for a host of reasons. [This comment applies to all study plans.] Project Nexus and Study Goals: this Assessment should also identify any potential impacts to statelisted species of Conservation Priority (see Nevada Wildlife Action Plan), big game mammals, upland game and fur-bearers as they are all important to the County and specifically it’s outdoor recreation economy.

Rather than developing new mapping associated with vegetation types, the assessment should incorporate any existing mapping, including critical seasonal habitats (i.e. mule deer and Sage-grouse) or critical migration corridors. Much of this mapping (shape files) can be provided by the Nevada Department of Wildlife and/or BLM Ely District upon request.
County-5
Summary of Existing Information: Table 2 should be updated to include: • Nevada species of Conservation Priority (Nevada Wildlife Action Plan). • Nevada designated big game, upland game and fur-bearer species (NDOW). • Any existing habitat mapping and/or species previously identified in or near the project-area based on information that can be provided by NDOW and NNHP respectively as well as the BLM.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response The special-status species initially targeted for this assessment are all either Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sensitive wildlife known to occur in White Pine County and/or wildlife species listed in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan that occur in the Ely region. The study plan will be revised to add 2 fur-bearing species and 3 Nevada species of Conservation Priority to Table 2. Additionally, Department-modeled seasonal habitat information for elk and pronghorn will be used in the analysis of study data. Existing Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) mapping will be used to analyze project effects and will be used to develop Project-related management plans for species such as mule deer, elk, and pronghorn. Sage Grouse analysis is being handled in a focused Greater Sage Grouse Study. Data provided by the Department has been reviewed and incorporated into the study. For the study report, new mapping will be made for those special-status species that do not have existing mapping at the local scale. See comment County-3.

3.1 RTE Wildlife Species, Study Area: A 200-foot buffer seems limited when assessing biological resources. Any species-specific wildlife buffers (i.e. Golden Eagle) should also be identified here.
Study Methods: The statement that “…surveys targeting individual wildlife species are not included as part of this effort” needs to be explained. Has the proponent met with the BLM and Nevada Department of Wildlife to determine that such surveys are not necessary, or will these species-specific surveys be conducted upon completion of this effort? 4.2.1 Vegetation Mapping: The County would suggest that Ecological Site Descriptions be included or at least utilized as part of this effort, and if available state-and-transition modeling as well. The local NRCS Office should be able to provide this information if needed. 4.2.2 Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment: Once again, the County strongly suggests consultation with local wildlife biologists from the Nevada Department of Wildlife and BLM to incorporate data and mapping
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response
The Greater Sage Grouse Study includes species-specific buffers. For other species, White Pine will gather data to determine which special-status wildlife species have potential to occur in the study area, and potential to nest, den, or roost in the study area. Those species determined to have high potential to occur will be assumed to be present. As required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), management plans will be written to adequately protect those species during the life of the project. Management plans could include requirements for species-specific surveys with appropriate buffers to monitor Project effects, which would follow speciesspecific protocols if available. Additionally, protocol surveys for wildlife may be required the year prior to construction to determine best avoidance measures based on conditions closer to the construction date. See response to County-6
Information in Ecological Site Descriptions from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the area have been reviewed. The vegetation mapping being proposed is a 100 percent ground-truthed survey. White Pine has obtained analysis reports from NDOW and BLM for the study area, which provided modeled habitat for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. These data sets will be used in the analysis for the report.

that has already been completed for the area as well as identifying any important migration or movement corridors. In addition, the Project Proponent needs to ensure that the survey protocols for BLM-listed sensitive species meet the BLM survey standards. For instance, since Golden eagle are “known to occur”, the Project needs to better explain the survey protocols that will be followed. If survey requirements have been waived by BLM and/or NDOW, then an explanation should be added as to why that decision was made. 4.2.3 Reporting: Schedule and Deliverables: The County is concerned that the schedule and deliverables may not meet the standards required by the BLM, particularly for species such as Golden eagle. References: The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan, 2018 should be cited as a reference and utilized in the report accordingly. In addition to the general data pulled for the Nevada Department of Wildlife’s Wildlife Action Plan and the Nevada Natural Heritage Website, the project proponent should also submit project area – specific data requests so that more specific information regarding the site can be understood prior to initiating any field work. Both data requests can be made through the respective websites for NDOW and NNHP. Map: The provided mapping is appreciated in that it includes more detail than was previously provided. However, the County requests an update of the map which calls out all proposed infrastructures. For instance, there is a sizable grey area along the Duck Creek Basin Road (Success Loop) that could be problematic, and it would be good to clarify what that

County-18
Map: It would be good to identify the location of the ~25-acres of preliminary potential WOTUS identified in this study plan for reference.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response The 25 acre estimate is based on a review of the National Wetland Inventory database, which identified Duck Creek, McGill Spring, and an unnamed section of an ephemeral drainage that leads into Duck Creek as potential wetlands. The current configuration of the Project has resulted in the unnamed ephemeral drainage being outside of the study area. The current study area only has National Wetland Inventory potential wetland features on Duck Creek and McGill Spring, which will be represented on a map in the study report. The buffer around Project facilities is sufficient to assess the area potentially affected by operation of the Project as currently proposed. Should a design change occur during conduct of the study placing a Project facility outside the current buffer, the study lead will review aerial imagery of the new location to 1) determine if extrapolation of field data can be done into the new area, or 2) schedule an additional field effort to collect supplemental field data. The study report would be updated to include this additional information. As Project engineering and construction planning advance toward final design, any additional lands identified as potentially impacted by the Project’s construction and operation will be assessed. All aquatic resources will be identified and mapped in the delineation report. The report will have a detailed discussion on why or why not each aquatic resource meets the current definition of waters of the United States (WOUS). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) will make the final determination whether aquatic resources are WOUS. See response to comment County-15.

Cultural Resources Study Plan It should be noted that the Nevada Northern Rail and associated right-of-way is Congressionally designated. As such, either this study or a sperate right-of-way study should be completed specific to the right-of-way to disclose if the right-of-way could be relocated and if infrastructure proposed by White Pine would be allowed within the existing right-of-way. In addition, conversations with the BLM need to occur to determine if a new right-of-way could be granted as proposed, particularly given that it would be located within Priority Habitat for Greater Sage-grouse. Project Nexus and Study Goals and Objectives: It would seem like the Nevada Northern Railway (City of Ely & White Pine Historical Foundation) would need to be listed as a consulting party. Background Research: In addition to the rail itself, has White Pine completed any research on the right-ofway itself to determine if a realignment can be completed? The County understands that some, if not all the rightof-way that is Congressionally authorized. Would a realignment be compatible with the public law associated with the right-of-way as well as placement of subsequent Project infrastructure? Any new right-of-way is likely to require BLM approval. Will be the BLM be able to issue such a right-of-way, particularly as it is in Greater Sagegrouse habitat? Study Area: Does the study area and 200-foot buffer provide enough flexibility to relocate infrastructure if need be? 4.2.1 Step 1 – Obtain SHPO Approval of APE and Conduct Archival Research: The White Pine Historical Foundation should be added to this list, including the tribal points of contact listed previously.

White Pine will review the legal right-of-way status of the NNR and how that status might be transferred to a new location if the Project proposes to relocate a section of the railway. In tandem, White Pine will confirm that the Project infrastructure and activity proposed is permissible within the existing right-of-way. Noted. Beginning in 2020 and continuing, White Pine is in discussions with the BLM regarding these issues. White Pine agrees and strives to engage City of Ely and the NNR as consulting parties/stakeholders.

It would make sense to include a right-of-way study specific to the railway in this step unless a separate right-of-way study is more appropriate. 4.2.3 Step 3 – Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources: The Nevada Northern Railway (City of Ely and White Pine Historical Foundation) should also be consulted with as part of this step. 4.2.4 Step 4 - Reporting: Will the Nevada Northern Railway representatives be provided a copy of the “privileged” report?

Summary of Existing Information: Per the above, this section needs to incorporate pertinent information from the White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan as well as information from the Nevada Department of Wildlife regarding fishing as well as big and upland game hunting opportunities in the area. Study Area: The study area generally makes sense (10-miles of the Primary Facility Corridors). However, the Primary Facility Corridors need to include primary access corridors to and from the project site. For instance, that main road in the Duck Creek Basin (Success Loop) is very important for a host or recreational activities and access to recreational sites as well as private property. Increased construction traffic and material deliveries will affect those corridors. Study Methods: The County suggests that traffic counts on Success Loop and existing roads anticipated for use by the project be completed to determine use rates and patterns of both on-road and off-highway vehicle use. The critical time-period for such a survey would be May – December. 4.2.1 Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimates: Other outdoor recreation facilities located within the Study Area and not currently listed, include, but are not limited to: • Success Loop / Success Summit • Nevada Game Management Units 111, 121 and 131 • Bassett Lake The Nevada Department of Wildlife should be consulted for use data (use days) for big game hunting in Game Management Units 111, 121 and 131 as well as upland game hunting and fishing in White Pine County.

White Pine should also meet specifically with the White Pine County Public Land Users Advisory Board and the White Pine County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife to identify popular hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing areas that may be affected by the project. White Pine should also meet with Ely BLM and Ely Forest Service to obtain user data for campgrounds and nearby facilities as well as identifying any other uses that may not have been identified yet such as pine nut harvesting or Christmas tree cutting. 4.2.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment: The County appreciates the commitment to coordinating with NNR in developing and administering the survey. 4.2.3 Reporting: Schedule: The study season needs to extend into and through December as much of the use in this area occurs during the fall and early winter given its popularity for hunting and other fall recreational pursuits. If the study season ends in August, it may miss some of this important use data. References: The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan, 2018 should be cited as a reference and utilized in the report accordingly. Also, the Nevada Road and Recreational Atlas published by Delorme is a good general reference. Finally, the Nevada Department of Wildlife Hunting (Big Game and Upland Game) and Fishing Regulations are good references for information on fishable waters in the area as well as hunting regulations and seasons.

In addition to relying on “…relevant agency…goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desire conditions…” consultation with directly affected stakeholders is critical as part of this study. The County suggests presenting draft information from this study to directly affected property owners and the County through its Public Land Users Advisory Committee and/or other public workshop. Summary of Existing Information: Given the proximity of the project to the Schell Creek Range, this section and the study in general, needs to incorporate adjacent lands managed by the US Forest Service as well as private property in both the Duck Creek Basin and the Steptoe Valley. In addition, the road through Duck Creek Basin, known locally as “Success Loop” is extremely important from a scenic standpoint to residents and visitors alike. This should be acknowledged in this section. Study Area: The County appreciates the study area, and the 1, 5, 10 and 15-mile buffers specifically. However, a second map should be developed focusing on the area immediately around the reservoirs and access areas. The map should show surface ownership / management so that everyone has a clear understanding that private property as well as public lands managed by the BLM and Forest Service will be impacted by the Project.

How will the visual simulation account for trees or other vertical obstructions (i.e. rock outcrops, hills / draws, etc.) that may be removed or altered as a result of the project, thus changing the visual baseline condition. How will the visual simulation account for impacts of lighting on night skies?

Adequate surveys must be implemented, not just a single season of surveys, in order to evaluate the existing on-site conditions. Due to unpredictable precipitation in this arid environment, organisms in the proposed project area have evolved to survive in harsh conditions and if surveys are performed at inappropriate times or year or in particularly dry years many plants that are in fact on-site may not be apparent during surveys (ex. annual and herbaceous perennial plants). Finally, White Pine must dramatically expand its analysis of noxious weeds and other invasive plant species. The current proposal is to record the presence and distribution of certain species classified as “noxious” by the state of Nevada. This will fail to fully capture the project’s foreseeable effects on invasive, non-native species.
Additional surveys could be required before construction activities and could be required as part of management plans written as a condition of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license.
The State’s “noxious” designation does not cover some of the most problematic invasive plant species in the Project area, including cheatgrass (bromus tectorum). Roads, rights- of-way, powerlines, and other types of infrastructure have been shown to propagate and spread cheatgrass invasions throughout the West.
There is currently no known regulatory mechanism requiring analysis of the effects of all non-native plant species that occur in the study area. Different organizations and entities apply the term invasive to different lists of species, and White Pine is using the list that is publicly available from State of Nevada agencies.
Invasive species represent one of the greatest conservation challenges in the Great Basin. The most severe and widespread environmental impacts from this project could derive from the introduction and spread of invasive annual grasses that are not included on the State’s list of “noxious” weeds. It is therefore essential to informed decision making that
Cheatgrass is being included in the study as equivalent to B and C designated noxious weeds. The Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study is intended to be floristic in nature and all observed species will be identified, not just those listed in Table 2 of the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan.
If requested by BLM, FERC, or State of Nevada agencies, additional information about observed non-native plant species can be collected and reported outside of the list of species included in Table 2 of the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan. See response to Center-8. Of the agencies listed in this comment, only US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and BLM have established protocols for surveying for plant species. The FWS protocol is geared toward surveying for federal ESA listed and candidate plant species, which do not occur in White Pine County, and is therefore not appropriate for this

White Pine expand the scope of its invasive species study to encompass cheatgrass and other species not classified as “noxious.” White Pine should consult with NDOW, FWS, BLM, USGS and other agencies to determine which invasive species are present in the area and how to effectively conduct surveys. Recreational Resources White Pine’s recreational resources survey inappropriately focuses on “facilities,” such as the Nevada Northern Railway and developed campsites. This approach largely ignores the substantial role of dispersed recreation—including hunting, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, backpacking, mountain biking, climbing, and other activities—in the local recreational economy. Eastern Nevada is remarkable for its open spaces, abundant wildlife, and scenic views. White Pine’s recreational analysis should therefore recognize that many recreational opportunities are intertwined with wildlife, botanical, and visual resources. In particular, White Pine should consider potential impacts to hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities through a detailed analysis of wildlife habitat and likely population impacts. Big-game hunting for species like mule deer and elk form an important part of the local economy. Impacts to populations of these species from habitat degradation and fragmentation could severely curtail recreational opportunities for local residents and seasonal visitors. The connection between the recreation economy and wildfire [sic] thus underscores the need for a thorough and comprehensive wildlife study. Cultural Resources The cultural resources study proposal appears to minimize the area’s significance to Native American communities. The study plan states that “White Pine is not aware of any properties of traditional religious

White Pine proposes separate studies of wildlife habitat; rare, threatened and endangered wildlife species; aquatic resources; and botanical resources. All study results will be integrated and presented in the Draft License Application. Also, a socioeconomic analysis will be presented in the Draft License Application and will include analysis of potential Project impacts on hunting and other recreation and tourist activities.

The area in which the project is proposed is within the ancestral territory of the Western Shoshone (Newe) people. Newe hunter-gatherers have lived in the area for over 10,000 years, and the abundant plant and animal life in the Duck Creek basin helped sustain them through the winter. In addition, Steptoe Valley was the site of a traditional pine-nut gathering ground and annual ceremony.

The region’s current indigenous residents continue the traditions of their ancestors in the areas that will be destroyed, transformed, or otherwise affected by the Project. Any potential impact on indigenous cultural activities must be carefully considered before White Pine commits to further Project development. In addition, there are likely thousands of years of Newe artifacts located within and around the proposed construction site. It is absolutely critical that White Pine consult with knowledgeable tribal representatives before embarking on any development, as this project has the potential to destroy thousands of years of history. Aquatic Resources Delineation White Pine states that the goal of its aquatic resources delineation study is to “assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.” This study objective is woefully insufficient to capture the full extent of potential impacts to aquatic resources and groundwater.

recommends a full hydrogeologic study, along with a comprehensive survey of surface water features that may be affected by the project. The survey of surface water features should go beyond jurisdictional waters to cover all springs, streams, wetlands, and intermittent/ephemeral watercourses. While establishing Section 404 jurisdiction is an important prerequisite for any energy development project, it is by no means sufficient for understanding the impacts of this particular project. White Pine’s proposal to construct and fill two reservoirs within the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin has the potential to significantly alter the hydrology of the area, with consequences to aquatic ecosystems, wildlife, and water availability. Steptoe Valley is part of the Basin and Range province, which contains complex groundwater flow systems within both individual basins and interconnected carbonite aquifers. One typical aquifer type in Eastern Nevada is the Cenozoic valley or basin-fill. Much of the groundwater in this region flows through these basin-fill deposits, with mountains serving as boundaries of some of the flow systems. Another aquifer type is Paleozoic carbonate rock, which commonly underlies the basins and provides hydraulic connections under mountains between basins. Groundwater flow in this deeper, older aquifer is generally south to south-west, from east-central Nevada toward Ash Meadows, Death Valley, or Lake Mead. Many surface water features are sustained, at least proximately, by the basin-fill aquifer. However, the carbonate aquifer also directly supports some springs and wetlands. Understanding the specific connections between these aquifers, the sources of recharge and discharge for each, and the ecosystems they support, is critical to understanding the hydrologic impacts of the

proposed hydropower project. Groundwater is an increasingly scarce resource in Nevada, and many hydrologic basins are already severely overappropriated. Extracting water from one or both aquifers and transporting it to the surface for power generation could dramatically alter the hydrology of the area, affecting both water availability and groundwater-dependent ecosystems. White Pine must also consider how much water will be consumed by the project through evaporation and other losses. Center-17 In sum, given the complexity of Nevada’s See response to Center-13 groundwater resource, the scarcity of water in general, and the importance of groundwater to both the desert environment and the local economy, White Pine must do far more with respect to water resources than the proposed jurisdictional determination. We recommend a full hydrologic study and a comprehensive survey of potentially affected surface water features in both Steptoe Valley and the Duck Creek basin.

The Nevada Northern Railway requests that photosimulation of the proposed Project facilities be made beginning where the proposed realignment of the existing railroad track starts and continues to where the railroad track accesses its current alignment. Since the passengers on the railroad train see multiple viewpoints, we want to see photosimulation of proposed Project facilities every 660 feet on the new alignment. Additionally, these photosimulations should be 360 degrees in scope and show the views during the day and at night. We are especially concerned on the impact of your Project facilities will have on our night skies. In 4.2.4 Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities, you state that, “White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing.” The Nevada Northern Railway’s railroad track needs the same type of consideration that is being given to roads as stated in section 4.2.4. Cultural Resources Study The Nevada Northern Railway contends that moving approximately ten miles of our existing historic railroad track to a new location will under Section 106 of the NHPA, as amended, have an adverse effect on the historic properties of the railroad.

White Pine and its environmental resource consultants access to the train. Lastly, a final determination has yet to be made on 1) whether a realignment of the track will be required; and 2) what length of track would potentially be realigned. White Pine will review potential KOP locations along the existing and proposed alignment during the viewshed analysis, including for dark skies and daytime views. However, the overall intent of the visual and aesthetic resources study is to assess representative views of the Project from many different locations and for many different users within the study area, not just for users of the NNR.
NNR falls into a “use area” as a recreational facility, and as such would have the same type of analysis given to roads.
White Pine agrees and anticipates that moving the railroad track will be an adverse effect under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Possible realignment of any portion of the NNR is yet to be determined and is subject to engineering and design processes which are currently underway.

Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is concerned about moving the railroad track and what effect it would have on moving our Star Platform. The Nevada Northern Railway has built a strong and successful astro-tourism program in partnership with the rangers from Great Basin National Park. We use the HiLine branch for our astro-tourism programs….Since the program happens in the evening and 99% of the participants are from outside White Pine County, the tourists who ride our astrotourism trains spend the night in White Pine County. These tourist have a sizeable financial impact to the community. The Nevada Northern Railway needs to know how the Project will impact the current dark skies. This is not mentioned at all in the proposed study plan and needs to be included. Furthermore, the study plan mentions that “White Pine has met with the Nevada Northern Railway to discuss this potential relocation and plans to continue consultation during the licensing process.” During these discussions, the Nevada Northern Railway has made its position clear on what is required to move the railroad track.

White Pine intends to identify, assess, and address Project potential effects on NNR’s excursions and activities, including the astro-tourism components and the dark skies on which they rely. For example, if the current location of the Star Platform will be impacted by Project development, White Pine will consult with NNR, BLM, and NPS to identify an acceptable alternative location suitable for a Star Platform and related activities. White Pine appreciates NNR’s explanation of the astrotourism excursions and would like to continue consultation with NNR to understand the number of participants and plans for expansion.

The current right-of-way was converted from federal easements to real property by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (Public Law 109-59). The City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway’s position is that if the railroad track needs to be moved, then move it on to a new alignment that is also real property. Since the adjoining land is all under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the BLM only has the authority to grant easements, White Pine needs to explain what their plan is to have the new railroad track alignment change from federal land to

Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway needs to know what White Pine’s strategy is to accomplish receiving an Act of Congress to convert federal land to private land. If White Pine cannot succeed in receiving the Act of Congress, then the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway need an acknowledgement from White Pine that the railroad track does not move. The Study Plan mentions that “White Pine will conduct a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the APE to verify locations of previously recorded cultural resources and to identify previously unknown cultural resources in the APE.” Additionally, it states that “The survey will consist of crew members walking parallel transects spaced up to 30 meters (m) apart for ground surface inspection.” Any access of the railroad right-of-way and track will need the permission of the Nevada Northern Railway for access. The railroad track in the survey area is considered controlled track under Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49: Transportation, Part 214— Railroad Workplace Safety. Failure to receive permission from the Nevada Northern Railway prior to entering the railroad right-of-way and track is a violation of federal law and may be subject to federal fines. In Section 4.2.3, Step 3 - Evaluate NRHP Eligibility and Identify and Assess Potential Project Effects on Identified Cultural Resources, it states that “White Pine will use information gathered during the inventory to evaluate the eligibility of identified resources for inclusion in the NRHP…” As mentioned

earlier, the entire HiLine Branch is eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The key component is the Lavon siding and telephone booth. The railroad had telephone booths at control points along the railroad. Today only three remain, with the Lavon telephone booth being one of the three. Section 4.2.4, Step 4 – Reporting states the following: White Pine will prepare a “privileged” report at the conclusion of the Study …. The Nevada Northern Railway objects to White Pine preparing a “privileged” report and not allowing the public access to the report as it relates to findings involving the Nevada Northern Railway. The report is an evaluation of historic and cultural assets on public lands. As such, the public has a right to know what was found on the public’s land in relationship to the Nevada Northern Railway. This position of White Pine’s means that the Nevada Northern Railway would not receive a copy of the report. The railroad is perhaps the most significant historic and cultural assets in the study area. Section 4.2.4 states, “As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process…” This is unacceptable to the Nevada Northern Railway. The report needs to be made public as it relates to the Nevada Northern Railway. Furthermore the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation should receive a copy of the entire report.

Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project.… The Nevada Northern Railway objects to the premise of the section that the, “Construction of the Project may (emphasis added) have the potential to affect recreation facilities…” The Nevada Northern Railway wants to see the premise of this section changed from “may” to “will”. The Nevada Northern Railway wants White Pine to acknowledge that their Project will change and have a major impact on the area, especially the Nevada Northern Railway and its operations. The Nevada Northern Railway has developed recreational facilities within the study area. The biggest one is the Star Platform that was just doubled in size this spring. The Star Platform serves as an anchor for our very popular astro-tourism programs. These program are successful due to the region’s dark skies. This popularity of astro-tourism has increased the number trains that utilize this area to three a week with a possible increase projected in 2022. Additionally the Nevada Northern Railway is anticipating using the Star Platform for non-train related astro-tourism programing. It is envisioned that tourists would convoy out to the Star Platform in their vehicles to participate in a Dark Skies program. Additionally, the Nevada Northern Railway is creating a program that utilizes the parallel service road as a bike trail. In cooperation with and in support of the White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board the Nevada Northern Railway will premier Rails to Trails in 2021. This program will allow bicyclists to take their bicycle on the train to the end of the HiLine. Once

there, the bicyclists will get off the train and ride their bicycles back to Ely. We expect this to be a very popular program. White Pine’s Resource Study Plan is using out-ofdate information on the use of the HiLine. This is illustrated in the following statement: Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. This quote is wrong and out-of-date: the railroad has evolved. The astro-tourism programs and the new Rails-to-Trails program has caused to use the HiLine Branch three to four times a week with additional trains programed for 2022 to use that branch. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is in the process of developing an electric railbike program to use the HiLine Branch. This program will rent electricassisted railbikes to the public to operate on the HiLine branch. The HiLine branch was chosen for this program because of its views and remoteness. A pilot program is being developed for 2021. It is anticipated that the program will be a success and that the program will expand in 2022 to daily operations on the HiLine branch. Section 4.2 Study Methods, Section 4.2.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment, and Section 4.2.3 all raise concerns. It appears that the essence of these sections is to have the visitors and passengers of the Nevada Northern Railway prove to White Pine that the experience of riding the train is worthwhile.

The Nevada Northern Railway realizes the need for a Visitor Use Assessment, but we object to the way that White Pine proposes to go about it. The Visitor Use Assessment needs to be done by an independent third party that is mutually agreed on by the Nevada Northern Railway, White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board, and White Pine. The Nevada Northern Railway will insist on veto power over the questions being asked and methodology of collecting the information. The Nevada Northern Railway already has successful programs that use the existing track. It is up to White Pine to prove that the possible realignment will not harm these programs. The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation agrees with the National Park Service that one study that is noticeably missing in your proposed Study Plan is a Socioeconomic Study.

White Pine welcomes NNR’s specific comments on the elements of the survey instrument. White Pine does not agree that an independent third party administrator is warranted for the survey. White Pine has engaged the consulting services of qualified environmental, cultural, and recreation professionals to develop and lead the studies to be conducted. White Pine is very interested in cooperating with NNR to collect survey data. For example, NNR personnel could administer the surveys with support from White Pine and its consultant. As a first step, White Pine will appreciate NNR’s explanation of how moving the track could potentially affect customer experience, especially as it relates to the astro-tourism excursions which occur in the dark. White Pine intends to conduct a socioeconomic impact analysis of the proposed Project, the findings of which will be included in the License Application to be filed with the FERC. The methods to be used are standard, and White Pine will make analysis methods available to NNR and other stakeholders. Information from NNR on the number of customers and basic demographics (e.g., where customers travel from for the HiLine excursions) will inform this analysis.

December 19, 2019 and March 1, 2021. White Pine will appreciate receiving other Department data if they show occurrences of these species in the Project vicinity. Additionally, as noted in the 2nd paragraph of Section 4.2.3, if any areas are found to have suitable habitat for springsnails, pre-construction surveys will be conducted to determine if springsnails are present and will be depicted in the study report. The study plan will be revised to include this change. Noted that these species could occur in the study area. However, neither of these species are mentioned as protected in NAC 503.075, and the status described in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan for these species does not indicate that they could be considered a Rare, Threatened, or Endangered species. Therefore, there is no reason to include these species in Table 2. The study plan will be revised to state that the sandhill crane could occur but is unlikely to nest.

Aesthetic / Visual Resources Study Plan: The PLUAC wanted to re-iterate the concern over aesthetic / visual resources particularly as it relates to impacts to dark night skies. In addition, they raised specific concerns given the project’s proximity to the existing rail corridor and the importance of dark skies to the evening train events such as the Astronomy Train Borrow Materials and Pits: The PLUAC understands that the project may require substantial quantities of gravel, and other specific soil materials for construction of the dams, reservoirs, etc. As such, the borrow sites for these materials need to be identified and impacts related to mining and processing these materials need to be considered in all appropriate Studies. Bonding: The PLUAC is interested in understanding what bonding requires will be put in place by both the FERC and BLM to ensure that any impacts to natural resources (soils, vegetation, wildlife, etc.) are rehabilitated in the event that the project is terminated during construction or operations due to unforeseen financial challenges. The PLUAC recommends that such financial assurances are put in place as a condition of any approval. Wildlife Issues: For both the TES and Recreational Studies, Game Management Units 221 and 222 should be added to the analysis, particularly given the known linkage of elk migrating between Unit 111 and 221/222, often times through and around the proposed project location. That portion of the project located in the Steptoe Valley is likely nesting habitat for Long-billed curlew. This species should be identified as existing within the project area.

Dark night skies will be assessed during analysis of potential effects of the Project on aesthetics, which will include assessment of the evening star-viewing train.
White Pine is in the process of Project design and construction planning. As plans and proposals for construction are developed in more detail, White Pine comply with all permitting requirements necessary to obtain construction material.
FERC oversees project financing, and typically requires an approved Documentation of Financing prior to beginning construction. White Pine expects that bonding will be a condition of the BLM ROW grant for the Project, following BLM’s National Policy for Rights-of-Way Bonding (IM-2019-13). These game management units will be included in the analysis of potential effects of the project on game species.
Upon further review of habitat requirements for this species, the study plan will be revised to say that this species is expected to occur and it will be included as a target species in the habitat assessment portion of the study.

Species are only listed as known to occur based on direct observation of that species during initial habitat mapping that occurred in September 2020. White Pine can investigate methods to reduce this potential impact, such as the use of exclusion fencing.
The PLUAC raised concerns over the potential drowning hazard that lined reservoirs present to a host of wildlife species. The PLUAC is interested to know how such impacts will be minimized and/or mitigated. Comments from Private Citizen, Caroline McIntosh, April 9, 2021, to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission McIntosh-1 As a private citizen involved in the development of White Pine appreciates input to the process to analyze outdoor recreation and economic development in potential impacts of the proposed Project. White Pine County, I submit the following comments regarding the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. McIntosh-2 Visual Study: Exactly how will the Visual and White Pine intends to identify, assess, and address Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual Project effects on NNR’s excursions and activities. The resource conditions relation to propose Project overall intent of the visual and aesthetic resources study is facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views to assess representative views of the Project from many from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the different locations and for many different users within the currently proposed re-alignment locations of the study area. Possible realignment of any portion of the HiLine Branch be conducted? NNR is yet to be determined and is subject to engineering and design processes which are currently underway. White Pine will review the feasibility of taking photos from the train for use in photo simulations, and coordinate with NNR during our assessment, if NNR is amenable to allowing White Pine access to the train.
McIntosh-3
Visual Study: The visitors on NNR’s HiLine Branch will be directly impacted by the proposed re-routing of the Key Observational Point. Will visual simulations for the changes be included in the visitor survey?
White Pine will review potential Key Observation Point (KOP) locations along the existing and proposed alignment during the viewshed analysis, including for dark skies and daytime views. The KOPs selected will include at least one location along the railway for the assessment of Project-related impacts. The survey instrument included in the Recreation Resources Study is designed to gather information on whether and to what degree NNR excursion visitors’ value

Visual Study: Steptoe Valley and Duck Creek Basin are considered some of the most beautiful aesthetic views in Nevada and the Western United States. How will the proposed project’s negative visual and aesthetic impacts be mitigated?
McIntosh-5
McIntosh-6
Socioeconomics: I strongly urge the addition of a socioeconomic study to determine the proposed project’s economic impact on the local economy due to impacts on Nevada Northern Railway, White Pine County’s tourism anchor. The short-term and longterm effects of closing the HiLine Branch during construction and overall possible negative visitor experience due to the change in the HiLine Branch must be taken into consideration. Socioeconomics: The proposed project will utilize our [White Pine County] limited water resource to create power that will be exported outside of White Pine County. This export of energy will be a cost to the future of White Pine County’s own need for additional power. How will there be a socioeconomic benefit to the White Pine County with a marred landscape with ponds and disturbed wildlife habitat? The end result of the project will net very few long-term jobs in White Pine County.

scenic beauty, natural scenery, connection with nature, and the night sky. Based on the study area figure, portions of Steptoe Valley and the Duck Creek Basin are within the study area and will be considered as part of the visual and aesthetic resources study. The Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study report will describe impacts to existing visual quality and identify any potential modifications to the proposed Project facilities to conform to the existing visual setting. The results of study will guide development of visual resource protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures. White Pine will provide a socioeconomics report in the Draft License Application which identifies and quantifies the impacts of constructing and operating the proposed Project on employment, population, housing, personal income, local governmental services, local tax revenues and other factors within the towns and counties in the vicinity of the proposed project (18 CFR 4.41(f)(5)). Publicly available information and information provided by NNR will be included in the report. White Pine notes that White Pine County Resolution No. 2019-40 recognizes the Project as an economic benefit to the County, which would include construction phase and operational phase jobs, incremental tax revenues, and other economic and social benefits to the County.

Without additional comprehensive studies, the current proposed pumped storage project will be a net loss to the visual and aesthetic resources as well as the socioeconomic future of White Pine County.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will conduct a review of the proposed Project based on the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The review will include assessment of visual, aesthetic, and socioeconomic aspects of the Project. White Pine will provide the results of a comprehensive suite of resource studies for stakeholder review and comment, and FERC’s use in the NEPA analysis.
Protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures will be included in any license issued by FERC for the Project.

The hunting and fishing was extraordinary and Duck Creek was rich with plant life, so the Hunter-Gathers prepared for winter – and stayed for quite some time.
Newe Artifacts from Thousands of years of inhabiting this route still remain in Duck Creek Basin, Duck Creek Range, and Duck Creek. The Construction site for the Duck Creek to mountain top roads & the pumping station at Duck Creek especially, are all prime locations for those historical Newe artifacts that accumulated there for thousands of years. Thousands of years of Newe history will be destroyed by this project! This Duck Creek route to Spring Valley is the one used by the US Cavalry during the First Spring Valley Massacre of the Newe. The Cavalry had traveled from Fort Ruby to Egan Canyon and then South to Duck Creek Gap. From there they followed the Newe route to Spring Valley, just as the Newe had done for centuries. Ref: Julian H Seward 1938, History of the State of Nevada, Thomas Wren, 1904 This Newe Route went thru excellent hunting grounds in the Duck Creek area. Newe were Hunter-Gatherers and my ancestors took advantage of the opportunity to harvest game animals, both large and small… The White Pine Pumped Storage Project will degrade and destroy all of this great hunting area.

White Pine acknowledges the plentiful resources used by Native Americans along Duck Creek since time immemorial. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) process to consider issuing a license for a proposed project addresses the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to assess impacts to natural resources and hunting and fishing opportunities. White Pine will conduct a comprehensive suite of studies to assess potential impacts to hunting and fishing resources, and develop appropriate protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures to address identified impacts. White Pine acknowledges that the Project has the potential to impact cultural resources, including precontact archaeological sites. White Pine’s Cultural Resource Study methodology includes a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the Study Area to identify, document, and evaluate cultural resources. White Pine will develop proposed protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures based on study findings. Historic era artifacts and properties are considered in the study methods. White Pine will incorporate this history into the Cultural Resources Study report and will consider this information during the Class III pedestrian survey of the Study Area. See response to comment Spilsbury-2.

hunters will be deprived of the opportunity to hunt lands that they have been using for generations. Moreover, hunters from all over the world, with many assorted weapons, will miss out on sharing the hunting experiences of our culture. We, present day Newe, and non-natives (everyone), will lose the opportunity to Hunt, Gather, and to experience the natural solitude of Duck Creek. Without the encroachment of industry, we have the opportunity to love and enjoy the peace and beauty that is Duck Creek. Losing Duck Creek to an industry that will not benefit White Pine County is not a good trade-off…. We lose Duck Creek and get nothing in return.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response
Proposed studies are a comprehensive suite designed to assess and understand the habitats, species, and opportunities potentially affected by the Project. The Project will advance with mitigation measures such as habitat enhancement and restoration designed to reduce the impact to habitats and the opportunities they provide. See responses to comments Spilsbury-2 and Spilsbury-5. White Pine believes the White Pine Pumped Storage Project presents opportunities to benefit White Pine County. White Pine County Resolution No. 2019-40 recognizes the Project as having economic and social benefits to the County.

Sagebrush Ecosystem Program June 11, 2021 Brett Burgess and Luigi Resta White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Energies, LLC 201 S. Main St, Ste. 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Dear Mr. Burgess and Mr. Resta, The Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) has completed the formal quality assurance review of the White Pine Waterpower exploration project as currently planned and based on the project data provided. The total number of term debits is 8 and the total number of permanent debits is 0 (none). These totals are prior to any applicable proximity ratios that may be applied. This was determined using the methods and protocols described in the Conservation Credit System (CCS) publications and tools associated with calculating functional acres. The SETT does validate that the information that was available to conduct this review was properly inserted and calculated by certified verifiers to run the HQT. The analysis was conducted using version 1.6.21 of the CCS publications and tools. You may consider this CCS calculation of debits as being final and, as such, can be used for the purpose of mitigating impacts. Any changes to the proposed disturbance or map unit delineations may result in a site revisit or re-analyzation of the project using the HQT. It is incumbent upon the project proponent to contact the SETT immediately for determination if further analyzation is necessary. Prior to receiving any notice to proceed from the authorizing agency, the project proponent must offset the credit obligation in its entirety, complete an authorized Phased Purchase Agreement, or develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT. When one of these criteria is satisfied, the SETT will provide a compliance letter notifying the authorizing land management agency that the proponent has successfully completed initial mitigation obligations. Sincerely,
Kelly McGowan Program Manager Sagebrush Ecosystem Program

Hi Jared, Per our discussion last week, we are providing this updated mapping to replace the mapping for the existing White Pine 2920 application rather than submitting a full revised application. Attached is a figure of updated bore hole and test pit locations and their access routes for the White Pine 2920 geotechnical study. Borings B-3, B-1 and test pits have been moved in order to reduce impacts. You will see that there are now no new access roads and the bore holes and test pits are outside of sage grouse PHMA. The impacts have been decreased from 1.62 acres to 0.74 acres of disturbance of which 0.57 acres are on BLM land. Given that this new design does not include new access roads,
we understand that the study effort could qualify for a categorical exclusion. Can you let us know if this is the case? Estimated Sample Activity Disturbances Proposed Action Feature

Introductions Agenda Review and Revision o No proposed revisions to the agenda rPlus Hydro and the White Pine Pumped Storage Project o rPlus Hydro selected the site due to a number of attributes o Reconnaissance was started a couple years ago and the project as evolved since that with feasibility refinement. o Location information ▪ Mile post H8 is where the train can operate to but most of the Hi-Line train can go to Mile Post (MP) 4 and 6; the Champagne and Night sky typically go to MP-6 and the day train to MP-4 ▪ Currently rPlus is looking at moving the reservoirs to they no longer cross the tracks; the train tracks will not require re-routing ▪ The lower reservoir should be the only thing visible from the tracks. The powerhouse will be below the surface approximately 2,000 feet with an access tunnel and only the opening of the tunnel will be visible but further away from the railroad. ▪ The reservoir’s southern most point is 4.7 miles from the split in the railroad (MP 0) ▪ NNR crosses the highway twice, one of them was paved over by NDOW Purpose of the Recreation Resources Study o Goal is to determine baseline conditions of recreational resources in the study area. o One of the objectives of the study is to analyze the potential effects or impacts of the project to NNR’s train rides, including night sky and champagne excursions. Survey instrument o Purpose is to understand the demographics and what drives visitors to ride the NNR: their attitudes, perceptions, and experiences. ▪ NNR does not like the slant of the survey. Appears that survey is to prove the train is worthwhile and they were prefer the whole thing is redone.
1
Discussion of revisions to questions ▪ Questions are based on surveys that are given to visitors of parks so the questions should be tailored to the railroad ▪ Move question on how long they’re staying to the end; move experience up front ▪ o Proposed schedule for survey implementation ▪ HDR will email the survey to Mark with NNR as a word document so he can make edits and add comments with his concerns. Mark expects he can turn it around by July 8th or 9th. • HDR can set up a follow-up meeting with NNR to screen share and make edits as needed. ▪ NPS would like to know if there’s a way to incorporate aesthetics/visual impacts to the survey? Could be next year but right now the visual simulations will not be ready by this summer Will noise have an impact? There are not anticipated noise from the project as the powerhouse is below the survey and the surface water is not anticipated to move enough to generate wave noises. rPlus can have their engineering contractor investigate as a part of their scope of work once preliminary engineering is determined. NNR asked if construction would impact the rail schedule? Currently rPlus cannot say as there are no recreation plans. o Staffing: HDR will staff the in-person surveyor o HDR will make all information collected available to NNR and NPS in whatever format they prefer and to use as they would like. o HDR is shooting for 100 total surveys over 6-8 excursions Wrap-up – Action Items, Next Steps o NNR will review and send edits to the survey o rPlus will investigate noise impacts o

Hey Pam...sorry it took me a bit to get back to you on this! Soooo I am not sure who approved the schedule back in May, but had I seen it there would have been a lot more time worked in for internal and cooperator reviews. I know you asked me for help to save time, but I am only going to add days to it. We are pretty much down to a single specialist for each resource, and they are swamped. Our typical review periods for anything EA level is two weeks. This timeframe applies to writing their sections, review of drafts/finals (both go out to the IDT before the public), response to comments, ect. With specialists being overwhelmed it is a challenge for them to meet that at times. Here are my responses to the specific questions you asked: 1. It is in the MOUs with the cooperators that they have 15 business days for any review periods, we are bound to that. I imagine that after comments are addressed in the Draft EA, some are going to want to review it again. 2. Having the Draft FONSI prepared prior to the comment period ending is a smart move. As you said you may need to add to it but having it started is a solid plan. The document will also need a Decision Record so you could draft one of those as well. 3. Generally, when we work with a 3rd party contractor to prepare and EA they are responsible for taking the first stab at responding to public comments. Once the comments have been categorized and addresses, those, and any you are unsure how to answer are then passed along to the BLM Specialists to respond. Specialist generally have 2-weeks to do this. 4. There is absolutely no flexibility in the 30-day appeal period. And here is a more realistic schedule based on internal timelines and some of my responses above that I put together. There are no dates listed since I am unsure how long the tasks on your end take.

Thanks Concetta, Below is the schedule that was agreed to back on May 13. As you can see, we had the public review starting June 16, so that date has slipped already. It’s important for rPlus to be able to start mobilizing the drill crews in September so I had wanted to walk through line items where we can make up some time in order to meet the ultimate end date of this schedule. Some thoughts we had for gaining time. 1. Limit IDT and cooperator review times to 2 weeks 2. Finish the Draft FONSI (if applicable) a few days past the public review. HDR will get the draft ready and once the last set of comments come in we can quickly incorporate anything new based on those comments and send that draft over to you. 3. HDR can assist in preparation of responses to public comments. I’m assuming that most comments will be related to the separate, larger project and there can be a standard response to those sorts of comments. This can reduce the time needed for the ‘BLM response to public comment and review of Draft FONSI’ line item. 4. We have the 30-day protest / appeals period added in there. I assume there is no flexibility on that timeframe – but let me know if I’m wrong and there is flexibility. Anything else that you can think of to help with the schedule?? We can schedule a call to further talk ‘schedule’ if that would be helpful. – Thanks! UPDATED 5/13/2021

I’m contacting you about the APE for the above project. As you will recall, this is a new FERC project that has not yet been constructed. We submitted a proposed APE to SHPO and requested their concurrence on it. SHPO did not concur. They said our footprint for physical effects was probably good, but that our footprint for visual, atmospheric, and sound was not adequate and that we need to consider potential effects for these types of impacts and provide better justification for the APE where these impacts are concerned. We feel that at this time, we need to do further work in order to consider the extent of potential effects related to visual, atmospheric, and sound impacts. There are still some design changes going on and we are doing a visual effects study for the project, that we don’t yet have the results for. We would like to hold off on trying to further define the APE until we have the necessary information – likely when our cultural resources study report is drafted and submitted to SHPO for review. I realize this will likely result in some additional work that will need to be done after our initial archaeology survey is completed (like an expanded built environment review), but I think this is necessary. Does this plan sound ok to you? Thanks, Danielle Danielle Risse, M.A.

Hello Jared, I am reaching out to you in response to the correspondence we received from Concetta Brown on 7/7/21 regarding the modification of the SF 2920 application and associated EA timeframe. It was the understanding of rPlus and our team that the BLM had agreed to the timeframe presented on our May 13 team call, specifically to have a signed DR by September 15, 2021. The modified/updated schedule presented by Concetta will add an additional 6 weeks to the EA process pushing the project into mid-October (see the modified schedule below), due to the extended timeframe associated with BLM internal and cooperator reviews and response to comments, etc. rPlus again proposes that the BLM approve the use of a Categorical Exclusion (CX) under the below justification. rPlus has modified the bore hole locations to fall in line with previously disturbed areas and moved all potential impacts out of PHMA at the request of the BLM for conformance with the ARMPA. Due to site modifications and movement of the exploratory bore hole work this action can be determined not to have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (individually or cumulatively), therefore an EA is not required for this action (40 CFR 1508.4) A CX is a form of NEPA and not an exemption from the NEPA process. Other procedural requirements (tribal consultation, NHPA, ESA) will still apply to the CX process and have been completed by rPlus, with the exception of tribal consultation which has been initiated by the BLM. If there is high public interest of this project (although I expect much of the public interest is more focused on the overall project rather than the bore hole exploratory work) a CX allows for public involvement through notification and/or scoping. The BLM is encouraged to apply CX’s, where appropriate, to speed NEPA compliance (40 CFR 1500.5(k) The proposed action meets the designation under Appendix 4 of H-1790-1 for a CX specifically: under other (J)3: “Conduct site investigations, site characterization studies including siting, construction, and/or operation of wells…” The proposed action does not meet the requirements under “Categorical Exclusions: Extraordinary Circumstances” (516 DM 2, Appendix 2) to meet the consideration of an EA The project falls outside PHMA and is under one acre of disturbance which should not trigger an EA.
rPlus understands this decision is at the discretion of the Authorized Officer but feels there is ample justification within the BLM regulations to pursue a CX for the bore hole exploratory drilling. An additional six weeks to the EA schedule will add significant time constraints to our contractors schedule and sub-contractors, including the possibility of adverse weather at the site locations. If you would like to discuss further or schedule a meeting to review please let me know. Thanks, Jared Brett AS ESTIMATED BY C. BROWN UPDATED 7/7/2021

Introduction Background Information White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The anticipated Project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and would be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide other electric system services important for a stable transmission grid, fostering the continued integration of renewable energy in the region. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021. White Pine has also submitted an SF-299 Right-of-Way application to BLM on 11/24/2020. White Pine is conducting a number of studies for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses.
Commented [NDOW1]: Consider using a different shortening on the company name such as “WPP” or “WPPLLC” as “White Pine” is often used to represent the County or location. Commented [NDOW2]: We were under the impression that the conduits were all originally proposed to be underground, has this changed?
Commented [NDOW3]: Information regarding the main project should be limited as these are being processed as two separate projects and lumping them together will cause confusion in the presentation of analyses to the public.
One of the studies that is required for the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is to conduct a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical study is the subject of this document. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to conduct geotechnical sampling to determine feasibility of the proposed pumped storage project and obtain geologic and geotechnical information of the subsurface conditions. The need for the Proposed Action is established under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) where consistent and other applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The geotechnical study is needed to support feasibility level design of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project and to determine suitability for construction of underground powerhouse and water conduits (tunnels, shaft). The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy.
3
Commented [NDOW4]: NEPA provides direct context for a Proposed Action and may be a better reference here. Generally speaking, this sentence reads a little weird – consistent with what?
Decision to be Made The BLM Bristlecone Field Office would determine whether to grant a permit for use of BLM-managed lands for a geotechnical study, based on White Pine’s application for Land Use using Form 2920. Conformance, Permits, and Approvals BLM Land Use Plans The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended, which are to: “provide opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources” (page 73) and “be responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rights-of-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy” (page 73). This document is in conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015). The ARMPA maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), or Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). The parcels are within GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat. None of the Proposed Action other than the staging area would fall within PHMA. The following Management Decisions for Renewable Energy RE also apply (page 74): RE-1: Review proposed renewable energy developments on a project-specific basis, considering potential resource conflicts and mitigation measures. RE-4: Establish wilderness study areas as avoidance areas. RE-5: Establish designated wilderness as exclusion areas. RE-6: Establish ACECs [Areas of Critical Environmental Concern] as avoidance or exclusion areas.
Commented [NDOW5]: The access roads to site B3, TPU1, and B2 all cross PHMA. Since there would be an increase in traffic and road maintenance these roads should be included in analysis and disclosed to the public in the NEPA document. Commented [NDOW6]: The BLM indicated that the geotechnical study and the pump storage project needed to be viewed separately. As such we are confused as to how the geotechnical study can be classified as a renewable energy project in itself. The Department has also been informed that the BLM was going to classify the main pump storage project as a Major ROW. Please provide clarification and apply appropriate MDs, RDFs, stipulations, etc.
The Proposed Action, which is a geotechnical study to evaluate the feasibility of a renewable energy development, would not affect wilderness study areas, designated wilderness, or ACECs. Relationship to Statutes, Regulations or Other Plans The proposed action is in compliance with federal laws and regulations, Executive Orders, and Department of Interior and BLM policies and is consistent, to the maximum extent possible, with state laws and local and county ordinances and plans, including the following: • • • • •
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (1976) as amended and the associated regulations at 43 CFR Part 1600 Energy Policy Act (2005) National Environmental Policy Act (1969) and the associated CEQ regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508, as revised (2020) Clean Water Act (1972) Safe Drinking Water Act (1974)

Internal scoping was conducted on 5/25/2021 and 5/27/2021 with an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) made up of Bristlecone Field Office resource specialists and management who discussed the potential consequences of the proposed action. The Ely District initiated Native American consultation for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project on X/X/XXX. A list of tribes that were sent this consultation request can be found in Section 4.1.

Commented [NDOW9]: Recommend removing this reference and including the NRS and NAC requiring use of the CCS for mitigating impacts to GRSG and habitat in Nevada. Please see added text. The EO is still in effect; however, the statutes and regulations now mandate how sage-grouse mitigation occurs in Nevada in greater detail.
Proposed Action and Alternatives Introduction This EA analyzes the potential effects of implementing Alternative A (Proposed Action) and Alternative B (No-Action Alternative). The No-Action Alternative is considered and analyzed to provide a baseline against which to compare the impacts of the Proposed Action. No other alternatives were brought forward for detailed analysis because additional action alternatives would have similar impacts as those described under the Proposed Action and can be analyzed under this alternative. 2.2
Alternative A-Proposed Action
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) proposes to conduct a geotechnical study to investigate feasibility of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The geotechnical study would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) (see figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) (see figures 2.4 through 2.6 in Appendix A). White Pine would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as a temporary staging area. No new roads would be constructed. This Environmental Assessment covers the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical study.
Commented [NDOW10]: This implies that there are other alternatives. It is our understanding if these alternatives are not analyzed in this document they will not be authorized without additional NEPA.
Commented [NDOW11]: There is only mention of a staging area for B-3, will an additional staging area be needed for any of the other sites along the west side of the Duck Creek Range?
Maps of the Proposed Action vicinity, boring and test pit locations, access roads, and the temporary staging area are provided in Appendix A. Estimated disturbances associated with the Proposed Action are provided in Table 2.1. All limits of disturbed areas, including drill pads, test pit pads, existing roads, and staging area, would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. The contractor would obtain necessary road and railroad crossing permits and would provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

Borings White Pine would procure a drilling contractor to drill three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology to obtain engineering and design parameters. The geotechnical study would use existing roads for access.

Commented [NDOW12]: The Department questions the assertion that road improvements will not be necessary to access site B-3. The current road to B-3 is a two-track road approximately a single pickup wide (6'8") in most places. Additionally, the road becomes very steep in places requiring 4 wheel drive. Please clarify and include the measures to be implemented to utilize and maintain the roads.
The three borings would be located between the anticipated upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Boring 1 (B-1) would be located in the area of the anticipated tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir. Boring 2 (B-2) would be at the nearest road access to the anticipated tailrace tunnel. Boring 3 (B-3) would be located the at the upper reservoir area near the shaft intake, just above of the underground powerhouse cavern. Proposed borehole sites are shown in Figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A. At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area would be used for a drill pad. Vegetation located within the drilling pads would be removed and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Drill pads would be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor would operate a DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Drills and equipment would be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. The borings would be completed using a closed-loop system of bentonite clay and fresh water. The bentonite slurry would be circulated through the bore hole to lubricate the drill bit, remove cuttings, and keep the hole open during drilling. The bore hole would be cased with steel casing through the upper layers of alluvium. Once the boring is complete, White Pine’s Drilling contractor would conduct geophysical tests to obtain information about the characteristics of the rock and to inform the feasibility engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project.
Commented [NDOW13]: Compaction is a potential issue that could impact restoration success Commented [NDOW14]: Does this mean that the site will be cleared and then what ever the removed will be spread back on the site? What is the plan for topsoil storage? Commented [NDOW15]: How is the equipment being transported to the sites? Commented [NDOW16]: What are the timeframes for working and non-working hours? Commented [NDOW17]: Where is the water coming from? Commented [NDOW18]: How will the excess slurry be disposed of?
Once the geotechnical study is complete, bore holes would be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers would be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal would be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor would abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout would consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout would be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe would extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing would then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor would add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor would return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details would be recorded on the drillers daily log. Test Pits In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Test pits would be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. Four of the Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [NDOW19]: Are some of the piezometers? If so that it should be disclosed as to which sites will completed as piezometers.
five test pits would be in the vicinity of the anticipated lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) and one would be in the vicinity of the anticipated upper reservoir (TPU-1). Each of the five test pits would measure 50 feet by 50 feet. Following clearing of vegetation and large rocks and described above for the borings, within each of the five workspaces, a tracked hydraulic excavator would dig a benched excavation measuring 24 feet wide by 24 feet long by 24 feet deep. Spoils would be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit would be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. For safety, no personnel would be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk sampling is complete, the test pits would be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill would be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Roads The geotechnical study would involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e., smoothing) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, and TPU-1) are described in detail below. White Pine would use existing roads for access and would provide road maintenance (i.e., smoothing) when needed. Turnarounds for large equipment would be incorporated at each boring location. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and would be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. Road maintenance for drilling and sampling activities would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the existing access roads would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated disturbances for the Proposed Action are listed in Table 2.1 above. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 would use existing roads off Highway 93 as illustrated in Figure 2.4 in Appendix A. TPL-1 through TPL-4 also would be accessed by existing roads. Access to Boring B-2 Access to B-2 would be by existing roads and would use the designated Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crossing off South Industrial Way. Proposed access to B-2 is depicted in Figure 2.5 in Appendix A. Access to Boring B-3 and TPU-1 Boring B-3 and the upper reservoir test pit (TPU-1) would be accessed from White Pine County Road 489 in Duck Creek Valley, and an existing 2-track road. Proposed access to B-3 and TPU-1 is depicted in Figure 2.6 in Appendix A. Staging Area White Pine proposes to use a 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. This area is currently used as an area Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [NDOW20]: If the excavation is 24x24x24 is it possible to decrease the cleared area so that is not 50x50? The County does their trenching in an arc to decrease the amount of ground disturbance, not sure if that is possibility here or not. Commented [NDOW21]: How will the top soil needed for rehab be kept separate from the other soil? Commented [NDOW22]: There does not appear to be any reference to rehabilitation/restoration plans. Can this be remedied? Is there intent to develop a rehab plan where specifications such as this will be included? Commented [NDOW23]: Minor maintenance needs to be better defined. The proposed access roads are little more than two-tracks less than 7ft wide that by their nature are unmaintained, so any maintenance would be improving or modifying the road. Commented [NDOW24]: Are the turnarounds incorporated in the 100'x50' drill pads dimensions provided earlier in the document. Commented [NDOW25]: What is the timeframe for this work to be completed? Depending on the timing impacts to wildlife can vary. Commented [NDOW26]: Where is the "crushed material" coming from? We are assuming that crushed material refers to gravel. Commented [NDOW27]: The Ely RMP has a BMP regarding rutting..."During periods of adverse soil moisture caused by climatic conditions such as thawing, heavy rains, snow, flooding, or drought, suspend activities on existing roads that would create excessive surface rutting. When adverse conditions exist, the operator would contact the BLM Authorized officer for an evaluation and decisions based on soil types, soil moisture, slope, vegetation, and cover. " Is this BMP not to be applied? Commented [NDOW28]: Is it reasonable to plan on rehabbing the middle section of the access roads as that is the only vegetation that would be within the existing access roads? Commented [NDOW29]: Where exactly would this material be dispersed? As it is written this material is being removed from road but it doesn't exactly make sense to remove it from the road to put it back on the road. Commented [NDOW30]: There is no mention of the road crossing Duck Creek---dispersal of material this material ... Commented [NDOW31]: Two roads are depicted in Figure 2-5, which is the actual planned access route?
Commented [NDOW32]: We believe this is actually HWY 486 and it turns into CR 29. Please double check and update if inaccurate. Commented [NDOW33]: There does not appear to be any mention of erosion control. While this is only Chapter 2, Erosion Control should be addressed in the document.
where vehicles pull off or turn around on County Road 29. No grading or removal of vegetation would occur. The staging yard would be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. The staging area would be used for equipment staging and storage, and a core logging shack/tent. Duration and Traffic Work for the Proposed Action is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 would work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews would divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel would travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Geotechnical Study work site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity would require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated schedule is shown below in Table 2.2.

Commented [NDOW35]: What type of reclamation? Above it states no grading or removal of vegetation would occur, so it is confusing as to what is being reclaimed…Please clarify.
Commented [NDOW36]: What time of year is it anticipated that the work would take place?
Anticipated Duration 1 day for each location 1 to 2 day 1 day for each location 2 days to complete 13 to 15 working days 50 to 55 working days (Double shift) 60 to 65 working days (Single & Double Shift) 1 day for each location 1 to 2 days 150 to 155 working days
Commented [NDOW37]: There are no road improvements mentions, just "minor maintenance" please expand on what road improvements will be occurring. Commented [NDOW38]: Does testing refer to the test pits? Commented [NDOW39]: Single or Double Shift Commented [NDOW40]: Why is there a significant difference between the drilling at site B-1 and B2? Commented [NDOW41]: Why does this have both shift types?
The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site would vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. White Pine would attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, White Pine would utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices White Pine has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect the environment. BMPs would be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. BMPs would be implemented throughout the Proposed Action areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas and prevent movement of sediment and stormwater. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap.

Commented [NDOW42]: Is this total for all the work? Commented [NDOW43]: Does this include the trips for all the contractors that may need to come to the site? Commented [NDOW44]: Where is this water coming from? Commented [NDOW45]: Between all the trips it totals to at least 55 trips per day (20 round trips and 15 trips for the water truck ) unmaintained two tracks are unlikely to be able to support this amount of traffic. Additionally, why is it necessary to have 20 round trips to a site in one day?
Spill Prevention All liquids would be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent spills and leaks, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets would include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and would be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers would be covered and emptied before reaching capacity.
Commented [NDOW46]: How many trips for delivery and cleaning? Is this included in the number of round trips provided previously?
The following procedures would be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel would be delivered to the Proposed Action area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. Fuel from the support truck would be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or Gasoline). Fuel from safety cans would be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling would be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit would be staged at each work site.
Protection of Wildlife and Special Status Species
Commented [NDOW47]: WL-6 for crucial elk summer and WL-7 from the Ely RMP should be applied.
The following measures would be followed to minimize impacts to wildlife and special status species: • •
• •
Construction activities would occur outside the seasonal restrictions for greater sage-grouse breeding, nesting, and late-brood rearing seasons. Compensatory mitigation through the State of Nevada Conservation Credit System would be implemented for direct and indirect impacts from activities occurring on federal lands in greater sage-grouse habitat. White Pine would establish and post speed limits on roads in Greater Sage-grouse habitat to reduce vehicle/wildlife collisions or would design roads to be driven at slower speeds. It is not anticipated that ground-disturbing activities would occur within migratory bird nesting season. However, if ground-disturbing activities would occur between March 1 and July 31 in order to complete the Proposed Action on schedule, White Pine would conduct pre-construction nest clearance surveys prior to conducting those activities.
Commented [NDOW48]: Light and sound minimization measures should also be taken Commented [NDOW49]: If the exploration is to take 5 months a breakdown of how the work will be accomplished given the timing restrictions for GRSG, big game, and migratory bird nesting season should be included. Commented [NDOW50]: Winter restrictions for GRSG will also apply
Vegetation White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts on vegetation (including special status species) and wildlife habitat: •
• •
•
The Proposed Action has been designed so that construction of new roads would be limited to the greatest extent possible, and existing roads would be used to access borehole locations and test pad sites. To the greatest extent possible, the construction of roads within riparian areas and ephemeral drainages would be avoided. Best management practices would be applied on all access roads and work areas for sediment control and stormwater management. White Pine’s contractor will develop a stormwater management plan. White Pine would use water trucks to abate dust on access roads and during drilling activities.

Commented [NDOW51]: New road construction is not currently part of the proposed action and would need to be analyzed at a later time if any new construction is needed and not covered under this analysis. Commented [NDOW52]: Please see comment above. Commented [NDOW53]: The crossing of Duck Creek needs to be addressed within the proposed action and within the BMPS. The number of proposed trips over the proposed length of time has the potential to severely impact Duck Creek. Commented [NDOW54]: Where is this water being sourced from?
•
When the proposed geotechnical studies are completed, disturbed areas would be reclaimed to the pre-disturbance landforms and desired plant communities.
Forests/Woodland Products and Rangelands •
Disturbance areas would be rehabilitated with fire-resistant native perennial plant species that would reduce fire risk. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) and forage kochia (Bassia prostrata) are examples of these fire-resistant plant species.
Noxious Weeds White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts related to noxious weeds and invasive species: • • •
• •
•
•
White Pine would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. Equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. BLM would continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities. Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds would be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. Prior to White Pine and its contractors entering public lands, the BLM would provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving would be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment would be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression would be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts would concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis would be applied to axles, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs would be swept out and refuse would be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites would be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.
Demobilization and Reclamation Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork would be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation and final stabilization of disturbed areas would include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Wheel ruts and marks would be removed to restore the ground Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
11
Commented [NDOW55]: Seed mixes should be approved by the BLM and should include species that are beneficial to wildlife. Commented [NDOW56]: While these species are good examples of fire-resistant species, neither of these species are classified as native. We support their use, but please be clear they are not native.
Commented [NDOW57]: Would the noxious weed management plan include treating known infestations before work begins? This would help ensure that the known infestations do not get spread given the number of proposed trips per day/ Commented [NDOW58]: Where would this occur? We strongly encourage ensuring that this location is not next to Duck Creek at the B3 staging area.
Commented [NDOW59]: Other than an emergency or fire suppression why would the proponent need to drive off road?
Commented [NDOW60]: Shouldn't these be predetermined and included in the noxious weed management plan?
Commented [NDOW61]: Does the BLM require an inspection as well? If so, please include here.
surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts would be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials would be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 2.3 Alternative B-No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the Geotechnical Study would not be performed. Borings would not be drilled; test pits would not be dug; and the staging area would not be used. The No Action Alternative would prevent from obtaining geotechnical information that is crucial for the feasibility study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. 2.4 Alternatives Considered but Not Analyzed in Detail Two Alternatives were considered but were not analyzed in detail. First, White Pine considered an alternative route to access borehole B-1, shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. This access route would have travelled on existing right-of-way owned by the Nevada Northern Railway, as shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. However, Nevada Northern Railway would not grant permission for use of its right-of-way. White Pine designed a new route to B-1 as shown in Figure 2.4 and resubmitted its Form 2920 application in April 2021. This alternative was not considered further. Secondly, White Pine evaluated an alternative (Figure 2.8) that would have sited B-3 and an associated access path in sage-grouse habitat that was developed by the USGS and delineated adopted by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Greater Sage -GrouseApproved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) as habitat management category Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA). Land disturbance within PHMA is not compliant with the ARMPA. White Pine revised its plan and moved the boring site out of PHMA and removed the access path in order to avoid extended reviews required for land disturbance within PHMA in an effort to keep the geotechnical study on schedule to commence drilling in the fall before the snow impedes progress on the drilling efforts. This alternative had greater impacts and was not considered further.
Affected Environment and Environmental Effects Introduction This chapter presents the potentially affected environment (i.e., the physical, biological, social, and economic values, and resources) of the impact areas as documented in the IDT Checklist (Appendix A) and introduced in Chapter 1 of this EA. This chapter includes issues analyzed, impacts to the analyzed resources, and project design features that would be carried forward into the Decision Record as conditions of approval of the proposal. Only those aspects of the affected environment that are potentially impacted are described in detail. While many potential issues may arise during scoping, not all of them warrant analysis. Issues raised through scoping are analyzed if: • •
Analysis of the issue is necessary to make a reasoned choice between alternatives. The issue is significant (e.g., an issue associated with a significant impact, such as a potential violation of a law imposed to protect the environment); and/or
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
12
Commented [NDOW62]: Please be clear as to which mapping is being used. The 2015 and 2019 plans have different maps and the 2019 ARMPA is not in effect. Commented [NDOW63]: This alternative likely has the same impacts as the one that was analyzed as the indirect impacts have not changed even though the project was shifted. The shift in project location allowed the project to be in compliance with ARMPA.
•
Analysis of the issue is necessary to determine if the impacts are significant, which includes impacts that are later in time or farther removed in distance.
Potential impacts to the following resources/concerns were evaluated in accordance with criteria listed above to determine if detailed analysis was required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all Federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District BLM in particular. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix B list the resources considered and their applicability to the Proposed Action.

General Setting The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin in east-central Nevada. The climate of the Steptoe Valley Basin is semiarid. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, approximately 2 miles northeast of the Proposed Action, is the closest body of water to the Project and much of the creek flow originates as spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately 7,900 feet to 11,883 feet. The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. The elevation at the proposed site for B-1 is approximately 6,570 feet, while B-2 would be at approximately 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the potential site of the lower reservoir can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover, and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin Pinyon- Juniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy. Species of vegetation include sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 would cross east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.).
Commented [NDOW64]: Is it necessary to mention the lower reservoir for this EA? Commented [NDOW65]: As defined by.....SWReGap?
Commented [NDOW66]: Are these cover percentages and plant species from what they should be or from actual vegetation monitoring performed at the site?
The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3.
Commented [NDOW67]: HWY 486
B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover. B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland.
Commented [NDOW68]: also includes patches of mountain mahogany
The existing access road to B-3 travels west from Highway 486, and traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats. The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat.

Commented [NDOW72]: These vegetation descriptions need to be update to better reflect the vegetation present at the project site. For example black sagebrush should be included in the Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper woodland section.
Great Basin Foothill and Lower Montane Riparian Woodland This habitat is dominated by Hind’s willow (Salix exigua ssp. hindsiana) and Scouler’s willow (Salix scouleriana) in the tree layer, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a moderately closed canopy. In the riparian corridor the shrub layer is relatively undeveloped with sparsely scattered occurrences of rose (Rosa sp.) and golden current (Ribes aureum), however rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) and dwarf sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) occur along the margins of this habitat more consistently than shrub species within it. An herb layer is present with toad rush (Juncus bufonius) along the water banks and occurrences of watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxicum officinale). This habitat occurs at the east end of the upper reservoir on Duck Creek. This habitat occurs along existing access roads for the upper reservoir.
Commented [NDOW74]: This appears a little redundant. Perhaps consolidate the two sentences.
Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophyla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. The shrub layer is fairly developed with dwarf sagebrush, indian rice grass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), square stem phlox (Phlox muscoides), prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis). The herb layer is generally sparse with some scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with approximately 5 percent bare ground or less. Open canopy forms are approximately half vegetated with bare ground and debris making up the remainder of the habitat. Both forms occur along existing access roads to both reservoirs and the closed canopy form occurs at B-2. Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral This habitat is dominated by Mexican cliffrose (Purshia mexicana) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of blue grama, matted wild buckwheat, and kindlingweed. Scattered individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer is fairly undeveloped overall, with bare ground comprising approximately two-thirds of the habitat. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland but it is essentially devoid of dwarf sagebrush.

This habitat occurs along the existing access road to the upper reservoir. Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat is dominated by dwarf sagebrush and/or black sagebrush (Artemisia nova) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of kindlingweed, rubber rabbitbrush, and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer has some cover of cheatgrass but is fairly undeveloped overall. This habitat is similar to Great Basin SemiDesert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of Mexican cliffrose. This habitat occurs throughout the study area. This habitat has one form in addition to the standard form described above. A juniper savannah form occurs at the base of the slopes on both sides of the Duck Creek Range, and differs from the standard form in having a relatively denser cluster of Utah juniper along with a relatively higher cover of perennial grass species, such as blue grama and Indian rice grass, but not at sufficient levels to define it as a juniper woodland. This habitat occurs along access roads to both reservoirs, the laydown yard, and at TPL-2, 3, and 4. The juniper savannah form occurs along existing access roads, at the lower reservoir. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that indian rice grass and/or blue grama is subdominant to codominant with dwarf sage brush. The tree layer is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat are present only sporadically. Other grass species occur less frequently such as curly blue grass (Poa secunda) and cheatgrass, as well as other herbs such as Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat. This habitat occurs at both proposed reservoirs. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads and at TPL-1, TPU-1, B-1, and B-3. Inter-Mountain Basins Mountain Mahogany Woodland This habitat occurs at the upper reservoir and is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree layer. Dwarf sagebrush is present in this habitat, but at much lower percent cover than other sagebrush habitats, and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub layer include snowberry (Symphoricarpus sp.), blue grama, and kindlingweed. The herb layer is either poorly developed or moderately developed with cheatgrass, narrow-leaf nestotus (Nestotus stenophyllus), and Ibapah spring parsley (Cymopterus ibapensis). This habitat occurs primarily at the upper reservoir. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads to the upper reservoir. Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat is dominated by cheatgrass with some cover of wise tansy mustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella). This habitat occurs at the north west end of the lower reservoir. This habitat occurs along existing access roads to the lower reservoir.

Special Status Plants According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the Endangered Species Act are known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species have the potential to occur in White Pine County. However, none of these three species are expected to occur in the study area because
Commented [NDOW76]: unfinished sentence.
Table 3.4 in Appendix B lists the eight BLM sensitive species that have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. White Pine proposes to conduct botanical resource surveys that follow the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). During field surveys conducted in 2021 in support of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project, surveyors targeted the eight BLM sensitive plant species. The field survey effort ascertained that Great Basin fishhook cactus and basalt spring parsley do not occur within the area of the Proposed Action.
Noxious Weeds Noxious and invasive weed species are a threat to native species throughout White Pine County (White Pine County Public Land Users Advisory Committee, 2018). A total of 47 noxious weed taxa have been recorded in White Pine County, Nevada. All of these taxa, listed in Table 3.5 in Appendix B, could occur in the area of the Proposed Action.
Commented [NDOW77]: Has a noxious weed survey been done? Or is one being planned in association with the other veg work that is mentioned?
BLM conducted a Risk Assessment for noxious and invasive weeds in June 2021. The Risk Assessment is provided in Appendix C. Environmental Effects Proposed Action During initial site preparation vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Special Status Plants Of the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified with potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action, no potential exists for impacts to shadscale spring parsley (Cymopterus basalticus) or Great Basin fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus pubispinus). A focused survey for the remaining six BLM sensitive plant species in the study area will occur in July 2021. If any of these species are found and have potential to be impacted by the project, consultation with BLM would occur to determine appropriate avoidance and minimization measures. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization measures could include stockpiling any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and respreading after completion.

measures could potentially take the form of harvesting and replanting, seed collection and dispersal, habitat enhancement of non-impacted populations, or another appropriate measure based on biology of the species, consultation with BLM, and available opportunities. Noxious Weeds The potential for spread of noxious weeds is evaluated in the Risk Assessment in Appendix C. White Pine and its contractor would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. The noxious weed management plan would include best management practices as described in Section 2.1.6, including pressure washing equipment prior to its arrival onsite to remove debris, dirt, and vegetation. With these measures in place, the Proposed Action would not contribute to the spread of invasive non-native species.
Commented [NDOW79]: Could this be included as an appendix to EA?
No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect vegetation. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Fish and Wildlife Affected Environment Fish and Aquatic Resources The only aquatic habitat within the vicinity of the Proposed Action is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between Duck Creek Mountain Range and Schell Creek Mountain Range and alongside White Pine County Road 29. Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the NMFS has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Proposed Action (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] undated).
Wildlife The Proposed Action area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer distributions exist within portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figures 3.1 through 3.3 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping and the NDOW Occupied Mule Deer habitat maps, B-2, B-3, and the existing roads that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 are located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include elk, pronghorn, several bat species, black-tailed jackrabbit, pygmy rabbit, mountain lion, coyote, and gray fox, as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Numerous bird species inhabit the Proposed Action area, including but not limited to Cooper’s Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
Commented [NDOW80]: Duck Creek needs to be addressed as an aquatic resource. Rainbow trout, Brown Trout and Brook Trout may occur and receives a fair amount of attention from anglers.
Commented [NDOW81]: This is not a good database for determining potential impacts to fish habitat for Nevada. For example, this database does not provide information on LCT streams which is threatened species under the Endangered Species Act and occurs in numerous different streams in Nevada. The statement "No Essential Fish Habitat," according to NOAA and the NMFS, is disingenuous as they are looking at marine and anadromous fish species not inland fisheries. We don't have threatened or listed species in Duck Creek but still have multiple trout species that could potentially be impacted.

Spring snails may be present in springs and spring pools in the Duck Creek Basin. McGill Spring is located in the area of the Proposed Action; however, this spring has been heavily modified with fencing and a vertical culvert and no longer functions as a natural spring likely to support spring snails. Elk distributions are shown on Figures 3.4 through 3.6 in Appendix A. Environmental Effects
Commented [NDOW86]: Some of these species are BLM special status species. Commented [NDOW87]: Even though springs are modified, springsnails may still be found. Surveys should be conducted to determine if springsnails are present.
Proposed Action Fish and Aquatic Resource No Essential Fish Habitat would be affected by the Proposed Action. Duck Creek would not be affected by the Proposed Action, and its fish and aquatic resources would not be affected. Wildlife Under the Proposed Action, mule deer and elk may be temporarily disturbed by drilling activities due to human presence and noise. It is anticipated that the short duration of the activities would cause minor to minimal impacts on elk and mule deer. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. To reduce impacts to wildlife habitat from the spread of noxious weeds, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation.
Commented [NDOW88]: Sedimentation from proposed number of creek crossings will likely impact trout and invertebrate habitat in Duck Creek . BMPs for Duck Creek need to be included and implemented to prevent impacts, such as armoring the creek crossing to help prevent excess sedimentation.

The GHMA delineation was performed using a model and onsite verification indicates that the location of B-3 as well as the majority of the access is PHMA.
Rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional BLM land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority. White Pine conducted field surveys of the area of the Proposed Action in September 2020. Table 3.6 in Appendix B lists the special status wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Nevadadesignated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the area are also included in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District (BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Responses to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (NDOW 2019b; NDOW 2021a). Habitat data for each species were compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Species in Table 3.6 in Appendix B are listed as unlikely to occur, could occur, and expected to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with the study. A species is labeled as known to occur only if it was directly observed in the study area during the September 2020 portion of the study. Habitat for migratory birds is located throughout the area for the Proposed Action. Greater Sage-grouse The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sagegrouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In the ARMPA, the management categories are defined as follows: PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sagegrouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is located in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [NDOW94]: A onetime survey during the fall is not an adequate methodology to be used to label a species as "known to occur" . This provides an extremely biased representation of species that occur within study area. Please add a statement that absence of observation does not mean absence of species based on a onetime survey.

maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA. The three drilling work areas and five test pit work areas would be located within GHMA. OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as unmapped habitat in the ARMPA that are within the planning area and contain seasonal or connectivity habitat areas. No project features are proposed in OHMA. Two greater sage-grouse leks are within 3.1 miles of the proposed site of B-3. The Canyon Springs NE lek is 1.83 miles east of B-3 and the Gilford Meadows lek is 3.01 miles east of B-3. White Pine conducted lek counts between March 29 and April 28, 2021, and male sage-grouse were observed strutting at both leks. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadows lek were last surveyed in 2018 and were active. Per NDOW recommendations, noise measurements were collected at the Canyon Springs NE and Gilford Meadows leks from May 4 to 14, 2021 according to the Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020). The results of the noise measurements will be modeled against anticipated noise related to the Proposed Action and will be presented to BLM in late 2021. Drilling activities are scheduled to occur outside of lekking season, and it is not anticipated that noise as a result of drilling activities would disturb sage-grouse activity. Figures 3.7 through 3.9 in Appendix A illustrate the facilities for the Proposed Action within PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA.

Commented [NDOW100]: The noise information should be included as part of the analysis for this EA. Commented [NDOW101]: A schedule of proposed drilling activities should be provided.
Environmental Effects Proposed Action The Proposed Action may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and the special status species that could occur in the project area as listed in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. The following species would not be affected because the Proposed Action would not impact Duck Creek: relict dace, northern leopard frog, Columbia spotted frog, sandhill crane, Great Basin willow flycatcher, American beaver, and American water shrew. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during excavating or drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. Impacts to breeding birds are not anticipated because the Proposed Action would not occur during breeding season; however, White Pine would protect breeding birds with a nest clearance survey prior to construction if the Proposed Action were to occur between March 1 and July 31.

Commented [NDOW102]: An analysis needs to be done for Duck Creek, while these species may not be affected there are others they may be.
Commented [NDOW103]: Stipulations are not currently incorporated into the proposed action. Commented [NDOW104]: Somewhere in the document there should be language regarding what the process will be if surveys are done and a nest located. The Ely BLM has a nest buffer document that could be incorporated.
To prevent the spread of weeds and non-native plants, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Greater Sage-grouse Under the Proposed Action, greater-sage grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to human presence and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that the short duration of the project would cause minimal to no impacts to greater sage-grouse. Drilling under the Proposed Action is scheduled to occur outside of seasonal timing restrictions. Disturbed work areas would be reclaimed and additional measures incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to greater sage-grouse. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. The Proposed Action would result in temporary disturbance associated with three drilling work areas, and five test pit work areas within GHMA. No disturbance is proposed within OHMA.
Commented [NDOW105]: p 21 paragraph 4 states it will not disturb, but here it states there will be disturbance. Commented [NDOW106]: The open period is 45 days but Table 2-2 says it will take 65 days. Please address this discrepancy.
As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Executive Order 2018-32, direct and indirect impacts to sagegrouse habitat as a result of the proposed drilling activities were analyzed using the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The proposed surface disturbances for drilling activities were submitted in a desktop debit analysis to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT). The resulting analysis concluded that the debit obligation for the Proposed Action would result in 8 debits. White Pine would obtain 9 credits to offset the debit obligation prior to beginning construction of the Proposed Action. With this measure in place, impacts to greater sage-grouse would be offset and would not be significant. No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, special status species would not be disturbed, and the area would provide the same quality of habitat for all wildlife. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice The area of analysis for Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice is White Pine County.
Commented [NDOW108]: This should be tied back to the purpose and need of this project, not the larger project.
Affected Environment The Proposed Action is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008c). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service,

Commented [NDOW107]: While impacts are planned to be offset through the purchase of credits through the State of Nevada’s Conservation Credit System, the HQT calculation of 9 debits indicates that there are in fact direct impacts. Please rephrase to properly disclose that impacts will occur and will be offset through mitigation through the CCS. Stating that impacts would not be significant because credits will be purchased is inaccurate. Additionally, since this is an exploration project, the HQT only calculated impacts resulting from direct surface disturbance and did not calculate indirect impacts such as impacts from noise or increased raven predation that may result from the project. These potential impacts should be addressed in the EA as well.

support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase their ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirements homes (White Pine County 2012). Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475 (USCB 2019). The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages (USCB 2019). Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010). Income and Poverty From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2019). Employment and Unemployment The unemployment rate for White Pine County in August 2019 was 3.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a) and a national unemployment rate of 3.6 percent in October 2019 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019b). From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8%), Office and Administrative Support (12.9%), and Construction and Extraction (10.3%). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3%), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2%), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56%) (DataUSA 2019). Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community.

Environmental Effects Proposed Action Socioeconomics Because the Proposed Action is a temporary geotechnical study, it would not result in permanent impacts to population or the demographic characteristics of the area. Construction would provide a short-term increase in employment for approximately 5 months. Temporary employment would be unlikely to have a significant impact on local economic conditions. Construction would likely result in short-term induced economic effects, which are changes to the local economy from purchasing materials to supply the project. Workers may increase demand for temporary housing in community centers in the region, but this effect would last only for the duration of the approximately 5-month construction period. The Proposed Action would result in positive economic impacts to White Pine County. The Applicant, White Pine, estimates the cost of the geotechnical study to be approximately $10 million. The cost of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project (for which the Proposed Action is a feasibility study) would be approximately $2.5 billion dollars. Environmental Justice The impacts on human health or the environment of the local populations, including impacts that would be disproportionately high and adverse for minority and low-income populations, have been evaluated. Items considered in the evaluation of environmental justice include human health or environmental hazards, the natural physical environment, and associated social, economic, and cultural factors. According to the CEQ environmental justice guidance under NEPA (CEQ, 1997) and Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (EPA, 2016), minorities are those groups that include American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic. Minority populations are defined where either; (a) the minority population of the affected area exceeds 50 percent or, (b) the minority population of the affected area is meaningfully greater (10 percent greater) than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis. The CEQ guidance further recommends that low-income populations in an affected area should be identified using data on income and poverty from the U.S. Census Bureau and considered in the analyses. Low-income populations are populations where households have an annual household income below the poverty threshold. As described above, the minority population of White Pine County is lower than 50 percent and lower than the minority population in the State of Nevada. Low-income populations are also lower in White Pine County than in the State of Nevada. Therefore, no environmental justice populations have been identified in the study area, and no temporary or long-term impacts to environmental justice populations would occur. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative also would not affect environmental justice populations. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

Commented [NDOW110]: Should this be exploration?
In addition, the beneficial economic impacts associated with the Proposed Action and with the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would not accrue to the region. Visual Resources Affected Environment A Visual Resources Inventory was conducted for the Ely District Office in 2011. Visual Resource Inventories (VRI) provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 – Visual Resources Inventory (BLM 1986). All BLM-administered lands, both surface and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes are inventoried. The VRI consists of three primary components: • Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape • Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern for scenic quality • Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or IOPs Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of four VRI Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources: Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. Per review of the 2011 VRI, the proposed geotechnical study is located within the following Scenic Quality Rating Units: Duck Creek Bench (Unit 037), and the Schell Creek Range (Unit 038). The Duck Creek Bench consists of rolling terrain with sage and grasses, with scattered patches of pinyon/juniper which follow drainage patterns on the land; the majority of the area is within the foreground or middleground distance zones. The Schell Creek Range is a prominent mountain range with rugged pyramidal forms and some exposed rock outcroppings, the majority of which is within the seldom-seen distance zone. The VRI assigned the following Sensitivity Level Rating Units to the proposed geotechnical study area: Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment, Unit 011), and State Route 486 (Unit 013). The overall sensitivity rating for both units is High, as there is a general public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide, and State Route 486 is considered an important scenic destination. Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes along with the corresponding VRM Objectives were established in the Ely District Office in August 2008 with the approval of the Ely Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP). VRM objectives corresponding to the various management classes provide standards for analyzing and evaluating proposed projects. Projects are evaluated using the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (BLM 1984), to determine if they meet VRM objectives established by the RMP. The proposed geotechnical study is within an area identified by inventory as VRI Class II and VRI Class III. For VRM Class II, the management objective is to retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low. Management activities may be seen but should not attract the attention of the casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class III, the management objective is to partially retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be moderate. Management activities may attract attention but should Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

not dominate the view of the casual observer. Changes should repeat the basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Proposed activities include drilling three borings and five test pits, to be accessed using existing roads, as well as a temporary staging area. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. Total land disturbance for the Proposed Action would be 0.80 acres. Vegetation located within the drilling pads (if necessary) and test pits would be removed, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite after completion of the geotechnical study. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Given the terrain and location of the proposed geotechnical study, the Proposed Action would be visible but would not dominate the view for the casual observer in the area. Residents in the vicinity may be able to view the investigation activities at a middleground to distant view. Travelers along area roads may have glancing views of these activities. Based on the temporary nature of the Proposed Action, minor clearing/grading, and non-dominant views, adverse impacts in visual resources are not anticipated. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect visual resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

Vehicle- and equipment-generated dust and fuel combustion products would be produced intermittently during road blading and borehole drilling, construction, and plugging work. No ongoing impacts to air quality would occur following project completion. The contribution to climate change would be negligible.
The historic Nevada Northern Railway and the original segment of the Lincoln Highway are within the project area and should not be affected by passive use. If it became necessary to modify in any way, the resources would be further analyzed. As these projects are temporary in design there are no longlasting visual impacts to the resources.

Rationale area. Activities would cause temporary displacement of livestock from the construction area and temporary loss of forage. However only 0.46 acres of the West Schell Bench and 0.11 acres of the Gilford Meadows allotments would be affected. Given the minimal disturbance areas, there would be ample areas within the allotments for livestock to temporarily relocate for the duration of the project. There would be no ground disturbance in the Duck Creek Allotment.

Lithobates pipiens
Rana luteiventris
Permanent ponds, swamps, marshes, and slow-moving streams throughout forest, open, and urban areas. Normally inhabit water bodies with abundant aquatic vegetation. Clear, slow-moving, or ponded surface waters with little shade and relatively constant water temperatures. Breeding and egglaying occur in waters with floating vegetation and larger ponds such as oxbows, lakes, stock ponds, and beaver-created ponds. Overwintering occurs in spring heads and deep undercuts with overhanging vegetation and ice-covered deep ponds. Reptiles
Great Basin collared lizard
Crotaphytus bicinctores
regal ring-necked snake
Diadophis punctatus regalis
Occurs mainly in xeric, sparsely vegetated rocky areas; on alluvial fans; lava flows; hillsides; rocky plains; and in canyons. Perches atop and hides under rocks. Can be found from sea level to about 7,500 feet. Occurs in forests, woodlands, grassland, chaparral, and riparian corridors in arid regions. Habitats are moist, at least seasonally. Individuals often are found near abandoned buildings and in junk piles in wooded areas. During daylight hours, this snake generally hides underground, in or under logs, or under rocks, stumps, or other surface cover. Eggs are laid (often communally) underground or under logs or rocks.

Buteo regalis
Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors.

High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyonjuniper woodlands. Arid sagebrush steppe. In winter, occupies sagebrush shrublands similar to the breeding grounds, as well as a range of desert scrub habitats consisting mainly of saltbush and creosote.

Scientific Name
Corynorhinus townsendii
Eptesicus fuscus
Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krummholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to high-elevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred.

Habitat Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roosting-habitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyon-juniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1770 - 7,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter. Confined primarily to forested habitats. Found in woodland and riparian habitats; more commonly in mature forests. Found in coniferous and mixed deciduous/coniferous forests of pinyon juniper, subalpine fir, white fir, limber pine, aspen, cottonwood, and willow. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1,570-8,200 feet. ROOST HABITAT: Roosts almost exclusively in trees in summer. Maternity roosts are generally in woodpecker hollows and under the loose bark of large diameter snags. They are generally located at least 50 feet above ground. Uses multiple roost sites, switching them frequently. Small groups and single animals will roost under exfoliating bark. Winter roosts include hollow trees, rock crevices, mines, caves, and houses. Also has been found roosting under leaf litter. Tree-associated species. Found primarily in forested upland habitats, as well as in gallery-forest riparian zones and agriculture habitats and in valley basins in pure stands of Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum). May occur in park and garden settings in urban areas. Current records indicate distribution between 1,870-8,270 feet; ROOST HABITAT: solitary; day roosts in trees, within foliage 10-40 feet above the ground in both coniferous and deciduous trees.

RISK ASSESSMENT FOR NOXIOUS & INVASIVE WEEDS White Pine Waterpower Boring White Pine County, Nevada
SECTION 1 - PROPOSED ACTION
PROPOSED ACTION: The proponent proposes to perform a geotechnical study of the area in which they propose to construct a 1,000-megawatt closed-loop pumped storage facility. The study will involve boring test pits into the affected areas to determine suitability for the proposed use. To access the area, the proponent will need to use current roads to the sites. The area is in the Duck Creek Transportation Plan area. Need for Proposal: The project is necessary to determine viability of the area for the proposed pump storage project. Decision to be made: Whether to approve the project as proposed. Whether to approve the project with stipulations and/or modifications. Whether to deny the project.
SECTION 2 - CURRENT CONDITIONS
No project-specific field weed survey was completed for this project, but a general survey of the area has been completed in May 2021. Additionally, the Ely District Weed Inventory data were consulted. There are currently noxious infestations within or adjacent to the project area. Table 1 shows the noxious species that are documented within and/or adjacent to the project area: TABLE 1 - PROJECT AREA NOXIOUS SPECIES COMMON NAME

SECTION 3 - RISK RATING TABLE 3 - FACTOR 1 Factor 1 assesses the likelihood of noxious/invasive weed species spreading to the project area. None (0) Low (1-3) Moderate (4-7)
High (8-10)
Noxious/invasive weed species are not located within or adjacent to the project area. Project activity is not likely to result in the establishment of noxious/invasive weed species in the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species are present in the areas adjacent to but not within the project area. Project activities can be implemented and prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species located immediately adjacent to or within the project area. Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area. TABLE 4 - FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area. Low to Nonexistent (1-3) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring. TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10) Moderate (11-49)
High (50-100)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area. Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed: • Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
• Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. • Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. • Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

Background Information White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The anticipated Project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surface watercourse.
Commented [HM1]: Consider adding a location map showing proximity to Ely and McGill
Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and would be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide other electric system services important for a stable transmission grid, fostering the continued integration of renewable energy in the region. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021. White Pine has also submitted an SF-299 Right-of-Way application to BLM on 11/24/2020. White Pine is conducting a number of studies for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. One of the studies that is required for the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is to conduct a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical study is the subject of this document. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to conduct geotechnical sampling to determine feasibility of the proposed pumped storage project and obtain geologic and geotechnical information of the subsurface conditions. The need for the Proposed Action is established under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) where consistent and other applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The proposed geotechnical study is needed to support feasibility level designs of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project and to determine the suitability for construction of underground powerhouse and water conduits (tunnels, shaft). The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy.

BLM Land Use Plans The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended, which are to: “provide opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources” (page 73) and “be responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rights-of-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy” (page 73). This documentThe Proposed Action is in conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015). The ARMPA maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), or Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). The parcels are within GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat. None of the Proposed Action other than the staging area would fall within PHMA. The following Management Decisions for Renewable Energy RE also apply (page 74): RE-1: Review proposed renewable energy developments on a project-specific basis, considering potential resource conflicts and mitigation measures. RE-4: Establish wilderness study areas as avoidance areas. RE-5: Establish designated wilderness as exclusion areas. RE-6: Establish ACECs [Areas of Critical Environmental Concern] as avoidance or exclusion areas. The Proposed Action, which is a geotechnical study to evaluate the feasibility of a renewable energy development, would not affect wilderness study areas, designated wilderness, or ACECs.

Proposed Action and Alternatives
Formatted Table Formatted: Header, Centered
Introduction This environmental assessment (EA) analyzes the potential effects of implementing Alternative A (Proposed Action) and Alternative B (No-Action Alternative). The No-Action Alternative is considered and analyzed to provide a baseline against which to compare the impacts of the Proposed Action. No other alternatives were brought forward for detailed analysis.(See alternatives considered but eliminated from analysis below). because additional action alternatives would have similar impacts as those described under the Proposed Action and can be analyzed under this alternative. 2.2
Alternative A-Proposed Action
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) proposes to conduct a geotechnical study to investigate feasibility of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The proposed geotechnical study would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) (see fFigures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A) and five test pits (TPU1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) (see fFigures 2.4 through 2.6 in Appendix A). White Pine would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as a temporary staging area. No new roads would be constructed. This Environmental Assessment covers the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical study. Maps of the Proposed Action vicinity, boring and test pit locations, access roads, and the temporary staging area are provided in Appendix A. Estimated disturbances associated with the Proposed Action are provided in Table 2.1. All limits of disturbed areas, including drill pads, test pit pads, existing roads, and staging area, would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. The contractor would obtain necessary road and railroad crossing permits and would provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Table 2.1. Land Disturbance Component of Proposed Action Dimensions, feet Drill Pads (3) for Borings B-1, B-2, B-3 100 x 50 Pads (5) for Test Pits TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4 and TPU-1 50 x 50 Existing Roads 82,244 x 12 Staging Area (private land) 150 x 50 TOTAL --a Existing roads are previously disturbed and would not be expanded.
Commented [CC9]: suggest deleting this as it is confusing. If no other alternatives were brought forward, then just describe and leave as is. If there were additional action alternatives, they should be described, even if the impacts are/were similar.
Commented [HL10]: Staging area or laydown yard? Be consistent in the document and maps Commented [MR11]: It appears that there will need to be new road or temporary road construction to the Borehole in Duck Creek Basin, or will there be cross country travel??
Commented [HM12]: I have driven all the access routes. there will need to be some significant improvements in certain spots on the Duck Creek side. I am unsure how this will be accomplished without re-routing around steep sections. This should probably be determined and added to this EA, with disturbance added to the table below. I would also imagine trees will need to be limbed or removed based on sections of the road where the trees are tight. This needs to be mentioned somewhere in the proposed action.

Commented [HM13]: See comment above.
Borings White Pine would procure a drilling contractor to drill three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology to obtain engineering and design parameters. The geotechnical study would use existing roads for access.

Formatted: Header, Indent: Left: -0.08" Formatted: Header, Right, Right: -0.08"
The three borings would be located between the anticipated upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Boring 1 (B-1) would be located in the area of the anticipated tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir. Boring 2 (B-2) would be at the nearest road access to the anticipated tailrace tunnel. Boring 3 (B-3) would be located the at the anticipated upper reservoir area near the shaft intake, just above of the underground powerhouse cavern. Proposed borehole sites are shown in Figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A. At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area would be constructed and used for a drill pad. Vegetation located within on the drilling pads would be removed and restored reclaimed after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Drill pads would be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor road grader. Limits of drill pads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control limit any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor would operate a DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Drills and equipment would be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. The borings would be completed drilled following NAC 534 and NRS 534 regulations. The geotechnical contractor is using a closed-loop system of bentonite clay and fresh water while drilling the borings. The bentonite slurry would be circulated through the bore hole to lubricate the drill bit, remove cuttings, and keep the hole open during drilling. The bore hole would be cased with steel casing through the upper layers of alluvium. Once the boring is complete, White Pine’s Ddrilling contractor would conduct geophysical tests to obtain information about the characteristics of the rock and to inform the feasibility engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project.

Commented [HL14]: Is there any non-native vegetation? If so where will it be placed after removal? Are site improvements the cleared areas for the boreholes? If so change the language to reflect. (clearing ground is not generally considered a site improvement) If these are large rocks that are to be dispersed evenly onsite; where will they be placed in relation to the cleared drill pads? How far is onsite related to the working surface? Any soils disturbed in while removing vegetation need to be stockpiled to use for reclamation. If it is going to stockpiled the proponent needs to consider seeding the stockpiles to increase the likelihood of successful reclamation at an earlier date (better seed banks). Commented [HL15]: Does this fall within the weight limit for the existing roads? If not, then either a small rig needs to be used or the roads would need to be upgraded with an appropriate analysis in this document Commented [HL16]: Who is the responsible party to collect and retain NAD 534.4369.4(a-e)?
Once the geotechnical study is complete, the bore holes would be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534.
Commented [HM17]: How much water is needed and where will it be coming from?
Borings not completed as piezometers would be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal would be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor would plug and abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout would consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout would be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe would extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing would then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor would add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor would return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details would be recorded on the drillers daily log. This method of plugging and abandoning the bore holes is in compliance with NAC and NRS regulations.
Commented [GM18]: This implies that other borings would be completed as piezometers. A piezometer is designed and constructed to function as a groundwater well, usually for monitoring purposes. Up to this point in the document, the Proposed Action has described the drilling of boreholes for the purpose of investigating the geotechnical properties of the subsurface geologic units. Are we talking about boreholes or piezometers? The Nevada NAC and NRS requirements in Chapter 534 for construction, plugging and abandonment contain differences between those for piezometers and those for boreholes.

Test Pits In addition to the borings, Ffive test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Test pits would be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. Four of the five test pits would be in the vicinity of the anticipated lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) and one would be in the vicinity of the anticipated upper reservoir (TPU-1).
Formatted: Header, Right, Right: -0.08"
Each of the five test pits would measure 50 feet by 50 feet. Following clearing of vegetation and large rocks and described above for the borings, within each of the five workspaces, a tracked hydraulic excavator would dig a benched excavation measuring 24 feet wide by 24 feet long by 24 feet deep. Spoils would be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit would be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. For safety, no personnel would be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit.
Commented [EA19]: 50' x 50' area is not adequate for test pits. 72' x 72' required for excavation alone plus area required for over 1,000 CY of test pit excavation per pit
After the bulk sampling is complete, the test pits would be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill would be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled compacted with the wheels or tracks of the excavator to leave the ground approximately even level with the original grade. Roads The geotechnical study would involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e., smoothing) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply, and daily commute of field staff. The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, and TPU-1) are described in detail below. White Pine would use existing roads for access and would provide road maintenance (i.e., smoothing) when needed. Turnarounds for large equipment would be incorporated at each boring location. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and would be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. Road maintenance for drilling and sampling activities would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the existing access roads would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated disturbances for the Proposed Action are listed in Table 2.1 above.

Staging Area White Pine proposes to use a 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. This area is currently used as an area where vehicles pull off or turn around on County Road 29. No grading or removal of vegetation would occur. The staging yard would be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. The staging area would be used for equipment staging and storage, and a core logging shack/tent. Duration and Traffic Work for the Proposed Action is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 would work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews would divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel would travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Geotechnical Study work site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity would require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated schedule is shown below in Table 2.2.

The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site would vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. White Pine would attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, White Pine would utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices White Pine has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect the environment. BMPs would be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. BMPs would be implemented throughout the Proposed Action areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas and prevent movement of sediment and stormwater. Examples of BMPs that may be

All liquids would be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent spills and leaks, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets would include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and would be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers would be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures would be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel would be delivered to the Proposed Action area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. Fuel from the support truck would be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or Gasoline). Fuel from safety cans would be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling would be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit would be staged at each work site.
Protection of Wildlife and Special Status Species
Commented [HM41]: Need a bullet for eagles.
The following measures would be followed to minimize impacts to wildlife and special status species: • •
• •
Construction activities would occur outside the seasonal restrictions for greater sage-grouse breeding, nesting, early-brood rearing, and late-brood rearing, and winter seasons. Compensatory mitigation through the State of Nevada Conservation Credit System would be implemented for direct and indirect impacts from activities occurring on federal lands in greater sage-grouse habitat. White Pine would establish and post speed limits on roads in Greater Sage-grouse habitat to reduce vehicle/wildlife collisions or would design roads to be driven at slower speeds. It is not anticipated that ground-disturbing activities would occur within migratory bird nesting season. However, if ground-disturbing activities would occur between March 1 and July 31 in order to complete the Proposed Action on schedule, White Pine would conduct pre-construction nest clearance surveys prior to conducting those activities.
Vegetation
Commented [HM42]: We have two big game management decisions, one for crucial winter and one for crucial summer that need to be incorporated from the Ely RMP. WL-6 and WL-7. Some of the seasonal time restrictions overlap with sage grouse and may not be an issue, but we will need additional discussion on how this will be handled. Commented [HM43]: Be consistent on how you present greater sage-grouse in the document. Where you capitalize or not capitalize. Commented [HM44]: List out these dates. Commented [HM45]: This is one of the many Required Design Features (RDFs) that will be required from the ARMPA. The easiest thing to do, is refer to them here and include the RDFs in an appendix (we have a template to provide you). We are still working on the GRSG Form that identifies which RDFs will be required.
White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts on vegetation (including special status species) and wildlife habitat: •
•
The Proposed Action has been designed so that construction of new roads would be limited to the greatest extent possible, and existing roads would be used to access borehole locations and test pad sites. To the greatest extent possible, the construction of roads within riparian areas and ephemeral drainages would be avoided.

• •
•
•
White Pine would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. Equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. BLM would continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities. Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds would be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. Prior to White Pine and its contractors entering public lands, the BLM would provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving would be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment would be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression would be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts would concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis would be applied to axles, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs would be swept out and refuse would be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites would be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.
Demobilization and Reclamation Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork would be completed with a Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration Reclaimaed areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representativeand approved by the BLM (Bristlecone Filed Office). Each disturbed area would be restored reclaimed to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation and final stabilization of disturbed areas would include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Wheel ruts and marks would be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts would be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials would be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 2.3 Alternative B-No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the Geotechnical Study would not be performed. Borings would not be drilled; test pits would not be dug; and the staging area would not be used. The No Action Alternative would prevent from obtaining geotechnical information that is crucial for the feasibility study offor the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project.

2.4 Alternatives Considered but Not Analyzed in Detail Two Alternatives were considered but were not analyzed in detail. First, White Pine considered an alternative route to access borehole B-1, shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. This access route would have travelled on existing right-of-way owned by the Nevada Northern Railway, as shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. However, Nevada Northern Railway would not grant permission for use of its right-of-way. White Pine designed a new route to B-1 as shown in Figure 2.4 and resubmitted its right-of-way (or whatever this form is)Form 2920 application in April 2021. This alternative was not considered further. Secondly, White Pine evaluated an alternative (Figure 2.8) that would have sited B-3 and an associated access path in sage-grouse habitat that was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and NorthEastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) as habitat management category Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA). Land disturbance within PHMA is not compliant with the ARMPA. White Pine revised its plan and moved the boring site out of PHMA and removed the access path in order to avoid extended reviews required for land disturbance within PHMA in an effort to keep the geotechnical study on schedule to commence drilling in the fall before the snow impedes progress on the drilling efforts. This alternative had greater impacts, was withdrawn from consideration, and was not considered further.

General Setting The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin in east-central Nevada. The climate of the Steptoe Valley Basin is semiarid. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, is approximately 2 miles northeast of the Proposed Action, It is the closest body of water to the Project. and much of the creek flow originates as sSpring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range provides much of the flow for Duck Creek. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately 7,900 feet to 11,883 feet. The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. The elevation at the proposed site for B-1 is approximately 6,570 feet, while B-2 would be at approximately 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the potential site of the lower reservoir can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover, and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), Iindian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), broom snakeweedkindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin Pinyon- Juniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy. Species of vegetation include sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 would cross east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.).

The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3.
Commented [HM67]: which species?
B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover. B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland.
Commented [HM69]: This is likely low sagebrush in this higher elevation site. Add the scientific name to stay consistent.
The existing access road to B-3 travels west from Highway 486, and traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats. The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat. The Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek.

Affected Environment The habitats, and labels, described below are derived from U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat descriptions and have been modified based on site-specific conditions (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011). Great Basin Foothill and Lower Montane Riparian Woodland This habitat is dominated by Hind’s willow (Salix exigua ssp. hindsiana) and Scouler’s willow (Salix scouleriana) in the tree layercommunity , with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a moderately closed canopy. In the riparian corridor the shrub layer community is relatively undeveloped with sparsely scattered occurrences of rose (Rosa sp.) and golden current (Ribes aureum),. hHowever, rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) and dwarf sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) occur along the margins of this habitat more consistently than the shrub species within it. An herbaceous layer community is present at the east end of the upper reservoir on Duck Creek. It containswith toad rush (Juncus bufonius) along the water banks and occurrences of watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxaicum officinale). This habitat occurs at the east end of the upper reservoir on Duck Creek. This habitat occurs along existing access roads for the upper reservoir.

Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. The shrub layer community is fairly developed with dwarf sagebrush, iIndian rice grass (Stipa Achnatherum hymenoides), kindlingweed broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), square stem phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides), prickly pear (Opuntia sp.), and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis). The herbaceous layer community is generally sparse withconsists of some scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with approximately 5 percent bare ground or less. Open canopy forms are approximately half vegetated with bare ground and debris making up the remainder of the habitat.

Proposed Action During initial site preparation vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces would be removed, if necessary, and restored reclaimed after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Special Status Plants Of the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified with a potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action, no potential impacts exists for impacts to shadscalebasalt spring parsley (Cymopterus basalticus) or Great Basin fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus pubispinus). A focused survey for the remaining six BLM sensitive plant species in the study area will occur in during July, 2021. If any of these species are found and have potential to be impacted by the project, consultation with BLM would occur to determine appropriate avoidance and minimization measures. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization measures could include stockpiling any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and re-spreading after completion. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization mitigation measures could potentially take the form ofsuch as harvesting and replanting, seed collection and dispersal, habitat enhancement of non-impacted populations, or another appropriate measures based on biology of the species, would be instituted following consultation with BLM, and available opportunities. Noxious Weeds The potential for spread of noxious weeds is evaluated in the Risk Assessment in Appendix C. White Pine and its contractor would have an approved noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. The noxious weed management plan would include best management practices as described in Section 2.1.6, including pressure washing equipment prior to its arrival onsite to remove debris, dirt, and vegetation. With these measures in place, the Proposed Action would not contribute to the spread of invasive non-native species. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect vegetation. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

Commented [HL118]: How large an area are they proposing to spread the removed vegetation and rocks? The soil material is stockpiled for use in reclamation after the Proposed Action is needed. If this stockpiling will exist for an extended time-frame it will need to be seeded with an approved seed mix to deter undesirable vegetative growth on the soil media.
Commented [HM119]: Update with July results. (Also, July is late to survey especially in a drought year). Commented [HM120]: Stockpiling of topsoil should occur no matter what. This occur at all areas disturbed for reclamation. Commented [HL121]: What is a minimization measure? Commented [CC122]: all items mentioned here should be built into the proposed action if that is what is going to occur to minimize effects. This is the environmental effects section to describe impacts resulting from the proposed action, not an area to add more actions based on environmental effects. Commented [CC123]: This plan needs to be part of the proposed action and this document to properly assess affects.
Commented [HL124]: I think this should read as is not likely to contribute. There is no guarantee that BMPs will completely eliminate any possibility spreading invasive, nonnative species.
Commented [HL125]: White Pine Power's goals are not appropriate in the analysis.

Fish and Aquatic Resources The only aquatic habitat within the vicinity of the Proposed Action is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between Duck Creek Mountain Range and Schell Creek Mountain Range and alongside White Pine County Road 29. Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the NMFS has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Proposed Action (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] undated).
Commented [HM126]: What fish species are in Duck Creek? They need to be mentioned here.
Commented [HM127]: I have never used the NMFS database and feel it is not necessary for our location.
Wildlife The Proposed Action area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer distributions exist within portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figures 3.1 through 3.3 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping and the NDOW Occupied Mule Deer habitat maps, B-2, B-3, and the existing roads that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 are located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include elk, pronghorn, several bat species, black-tailed jackrabbit, pygmy rabbit, mountain lion, coyote, and gray fox, as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Numerous bird species inhabit the Proposed Action area, including but not limited to Cooper’s hawk, Swainson’s hawk, golden eagle, American kestrel, loggerhead shrike, pinyon jay, juniper titmouse, sage thrasher, vesper sparrow, and several other species of passerine songbirds. Spring snails may be present in springs and spring pools in the Duck Creek Basin. McGill Spring is located in the area of the Proposed Action; however, this spring has been heavily modified with fencing and a vertical culvert and no longer functions as a natural spring likely to support spring snails. Elk distributions are shown on Figures 3.4 through 3.6 in Appendix A. Environmental Effects
Commented [HM128]: For big game, we need to discuss RMP 08 habitat and NDOW habitat. While NDOW's is the more accurate and up to date seasonal data, the BLM can only apply critical habitat timing stipulations to components of the project that fall within the RMP mapped habitat. I'm guessing this will need further clarification . Commented [HL129]: Why are there no scientific names for animals in the EA?
Commented [HM130]: Include elk and pronghorn paragraphs in affected environment.
Proposed Action Fish and Aquatic Resource No Essential Fish Habitat would be affected by the Proposed Action. Duck Creek would not be affected by the Proposed Action, and its fish and aquatic resources would not be affected.

Under the Proposed Action, mule deer, pronghorn, and elk may be temporarily disturbed by drilling activities due to human presence and noise. It is anticipated that the short duration of the activities would cause minor to minimal impacts on elk and mule deer. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. To reduce impacts to wildlife habitat from the spread of noxious weeds, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect fish and wildlife or their habitats. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.
Formatted: Header, Centered Formatted: Header Commented [HM132]: The impacts mentioned here are very general and need to be more descriptive. Be sure to include impacts from drilling, increased traffic on access roads, temporary loss of habitat, injured or killed individuals. Need to discuss impacts to critical habitats, particularly mule deer. Commented [HM133]: Depending on the time of year that drilling occurs there may be greater impacts than stated here. Drill during the winter within mule deer crucial winter habitat would have a greater impacts. Please provide a more detail discussion. Commented [HL134]: Isn't there a likelihood that small mammals and reptiles might be killed, not just temporarily displaced? Commented [HM135]: This should not be mentioned here. Commented [HL136]: See earlier comment about WPP's goals are not appropriate in the analysis.
Special Status Species, including Migratory Birds Animal species with special status are described in this section. Please see section 3.3.4 for discussion of special status plant species.
Commented [HM137]: There is a section above that also discusses special status plants. Remove /combine sections.
Affected Environment The overall Proposed Action area for the geotechnical study is located within a 3.1-mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, and therefore White Pine has revised access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse. Rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional BLM land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority.
Commented [HM138]: I think it would be better to briefly explain the efforts that have been made to be in compliance with the LUPA. The changes that have been made to reduce impacts to GRSG. Commented [HM139]: My understanding is that all access is from existing roads. Where possible changes the proposed action and needs to be discussed.
Manual 6840, Special Status Species Management, states special status species are those that are listed or proposed for listing under the ESA, species requiring special management consideration to promote their conservation and reduce the likelihood and need for future listing, and any federal candidate, proposed, and delisted species int eh 5 years following delisting (BLM 2008). Nevada’s BLM special status species list was last updated in 2017. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, or sell a migratory bird. White Pine conducted field surveys of the area of the Proposed Action in September 2020. Table 3.6 in Appendix B lists the special status wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Nevadadesignated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the area are also included in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

(BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Responses to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (NDOW 2019b; NDOW 2021a). Habitat data for each species were compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Species in Table 3.6 in Appendix B are listed as unlikely to occur, could occur, and expected to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with the study. A species is labeled as known to occur only if it was directly observed in the study area during the September 2020 portion of the study. Habitat for migratory birds is located throughout the area for the Proposed Action. Greater Sage-grouse The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sagegrouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In the ARMPA, the management categories are defined as follows: PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sagegrouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is located in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA. The three drilling work areas and five test pit work areas would be located within GHMA. OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as unmapped habitat in the ARMPA that are within the planning area and contain seasonal or connectivity habitat areas. No project features are proposed in OHMA. Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

TwoThree greater sage-grouse leks are within 3.1 miles of the proposed site of B-3. The Canyon Springs NE lek is 1.83 miles east of B-3 and the Gilford Meadows lek is 3.01 miles east of B-3. White Pine conducted lek counts between March 29 and April 28, 2021, and male sage-grouse were observed strutting at both leks. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadows lek were last surveyed in 2018 and were active. Per NDOW recommendations, noise measurements were collected at the Canyon Springs NE and Gilford Meadows leks from May 4 to 14, 2021 according to the Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020). The results of the noise measurements willould be modeled against anticipated noise related to the Proposed Action and willould be presented to BLM in late 2021. Drilling activities are scheduled to occur outside of lekking season, and it is not anticipated that noise as a result of drilling activities would disturb sage-grouse activity. Figures 3.7 through 3.9 in Appendix A illustrate the facilities for the Proposed Action within PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA.

Environmental Effects
Commented [HM146]: Components of this project are located within breeding, nesting, early and late brood-rearing and winter seasonal restrictions. This needs to be incorporated into the EA.
Proposed Action
Commented [HM147]: This sentence should be in the Environmental Affects section.
The Proposed Action may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and the special status species that could occur in the project area as listed in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. The following species would not be affected because the Proposed Action would not impact Duck Creek: relict dace, northern leopard frog, Columbia spotted frog, sandhill crane, Great Basin willow flycatcher, American beaver, and American water shrew. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during excavating or drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. Impacts to breeding birds are not anticipated because the Proposed Action would not occur during breeding season; however, White Pine would protect breeding birds with a nest clearance survey prior to construction if the Proposed Action were to occur between March 1 and July 31.
Commented [HM148]: This is not true. Vehicles and equipment will be directly passing through Duck Creek.
Commented [HM149]: Please see comment above in the Fish and Wildlife Section.
To prevent the spread of weeds and non-native plants, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Greater Sage-grouse Under the Proposed Action, greater-sage grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to human presence and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that the short duration of the project would cause minimal to no impacts to greater sage-grouse. Drilling under the Proposed Action is scheduled to occur outside of seasonal timing restrictions. Disturbed work areas would be reclaimed and additional measures incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to greater sage-grouse.

The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. The Proposed Action would result in temporary disturbance associated with three drilling work areas, and five test pit work areas within GHMA. No disturbance is proposed within OHMA. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Executive Order 2018-32, direct and indirect impacts to sagegrouse habitat as a result of the proposed drilling activities were analyzed using the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The proposed surface disturbances for drilling activities were submitted in a desktop debit analysis to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT). The resulting analysis concluded that the debit obligation for the Proposed Action would result in 8 debits. White Pine would obtain 9 credits to offset the debit obligation prior to beginning construction of the Proposed Action. With this measure in place, and compliance with the ARMPA, impacts to greater sagegrouse would be offset and would not be significantbe minimal.
Formatted: Header, Right, Right: -0.08" Formatted Table Formatted: Header Commented [HM153]: Like I mentioned earlier in Chapter 2, this road will need more than maintenance to access B3 and it needs to be disclosed. Commented [HM154]: quantify these disturbances.
Commented [HM155]: If the debit obligation is 8, why would WP purchase 9 credits?
No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, special status species would not be disturbed, and the area would provide the same quality of habitat for all wildlife. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice The area of analysis for Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice is White Pine County. Affected Environment The Proposed Action is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008c). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service, support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase their ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirements homes (White Pine County 2012). Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475 (USCB 2019).

The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages (USCB 2019). Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010). Income and Poverty From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2019). Employment and Unemployment The unemployment rate for White Pine County in August 2019 was 3.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a) and a national unemployment rate of 3.6 percent in October 2019 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019b). From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8%), Office and Administrative Support (12.9%), and Construction and Extraction (10.3%). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3%), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2%), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56%) (DataUSA 2019). Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Socioeconomics Because the Proposed Action is a temporary geotechnical study, it would not result in permanent impacts to population or the demographic characteristics of the area. Construction would provide a short-term increase in employment for approximately 5 months. Temporary employment would be unlikely to have a significant impact on local economic conditions. Construction would likely result in short-term induced economic effects, which are changes to the local economy from purchasing materials to supply the project. Workers may increase demand for temporary housing in community centers in the region, but this effect would last only for the duration of the approximately 5-month construction period. The Proposed Action would result in positive economic impacts to White Pine County. The Applicant, White Pine, estimates the cost of the geotechnical study to be approximately $10 million.

Environmental Justice
Formatted: Header
The impacts on human health or the environment of the local populations, including impacts that would be disproportionately high and adverse for minority and low-income populations, have been evaluated. Items considered in the evaluation of environmental justice include human health or environmental hazards, the natural physical environment, and associated social, economic, and cultural factors. According to the CEQ environmental justice guidance under NEPA (CEQ, 1997) and Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (EPA, 2016), minorities are those groups that include American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic. Minority populations are defined where either; (a) the minority population of the affected area exceeds 50 percent or, (b) the minority population of the affected area is meaningfully greater (10 percent greater) than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis. The CEQ guidance further recommends that low-income populations in an affected area should be identified using data on income and poverty from the U.S. Census Bureau and considered in the analyses. Low-income populations are populations where households have an annual household income below the poverty threshold. As described above, the minority population of White Pine County is lower than 50 percent and lower than the minority population in the State of Nevada. Low-income populations are also lower in White Pine County than in the State of Nevada. Therefore, no environmental justice populations have been identified in the study area, and no temporary or long-term impacts to environmental justice populations would occur. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative also would not affect environmental justice populations. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. In addition, the beneficial economic impacts associated with the Proposed Action and with the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would not accrue to the region. Visual Resources Affected Environment A Visual Resources Inventory was conducted for the Ely District Office in 2011. Visual Resource Inventories (VRI) provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 – Visual Resources Inventory (BLM 1986). All BLM-administered lands, both surface and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes are inventoried. The VRI consists of three primary components: • Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape • Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern for scenic quality • Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or IOPs Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of four VRI Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources: Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. Per review of the 2011 VRI, the proposed geotechnical study is located within the following Scenic Quality Rating Units: Duck Creek Bench (Unit 037), and the Schell Creek Range (Unit 038). The Duck Creek Bench consists of rolling terrain with sage and grasses, with scattered patches of pinyon/juniper which follow drainage patterns on the land; the majority of the area is within the foreground or middleground distance zones. The Schell Creek Range is a prominent mountain range with rugged pyramidal forms and some exposed rock outcroppings, the majority of which is within the seldom-seen distance zone. The VRI assigned the following Sensitivity Level Rating Units to the proposed geotechnical study area: Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment, Unit 011), and State Route 486 (Unit 013). The overall sensitivity rating for both units is High, as there is a general public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide, and State Route 486 is considered an important scenic destination. Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes along with the corresponding VRM Objectives were established in the Ely District Office in August 2008 with the approval of the Ely Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP). VRM objectives corresponding to the various management classes provide standards for analyzing and evaluating proposed projects. Projects are evaluated using the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (BLM 1984), to determine if they meet VRM objectives established by the RMP. The proposed geotechnical study is within an area identified by inventory as VRI Class II and VRI Class III. For VRM Class II, the management objective is to retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low. Management activities may be seen but should not attract the attention of the casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class III, the management objective is to partially retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be moderate. Management activities may attract attention but should not dominate the view of the casual observer. Changes should repeat the basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Proposed activities include drilling three borings and five test pits, to be accessed using existing roads, as well as a temporary staging area. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. Total land disturbance for the Proposed Action would be 0.80 acres. Vegetation located within the drilling pads (if necessary) and test pits would be removed, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite after completion of the geotechnical study. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Given the terrain and location of the proposed geotechnical study, the Proposed Action would be visible but would not dominate the view for the casual observer in the area. Residents in the vicinity may be able to view the investigation activities at a middleground to distant view. Travelers along area roads may have glancing views of these activities. Based on the temporary nature of the Proposed Action, minor clearing/grading, and non-dominant views, adverse impacts in visual resources are not anticipated.

No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect visual resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

A Class III inventory was completed for all proposed exploration areas. The historic Nevada Northern Railway and the original segment of the Lincoln Highway are within the project area and should not be affectedthere will be no adverse effect by passive use. If it became necessary to modify in any way, the resources would be further analyzed. As these projects are temporary in design there are no longlasting visual impacts to the resources. All other recorded sites are recommended not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places and will not be affected by the proposed project.. “In the case of an unanticipated discovery, the proponent will ensure that activities associated with the undertaking within 100 meters of the discovery’s site boundaries are halted and the discovery is appropriately protected, until the BLM Authorized Officer issues a Notice to Proceed” (Protocol pg. 30).

No woodland products in area to be concerned with. This project is within the Wildland Urban Interface of McGill, NV, which is an at-risk community as described in HFRA. Disturbance areas would be rehabilitated with perennial plant species that would reduce fire risk and prevent establishment of annual species. White Pine proposes measures to protect worker safety. The Proposed Action is in a remote area and would not result in health and safety risks to the general public.

Given the lack of identified soil contamination within the project area and the proposed minimization measures, hazardous wastes would not be impacted by the Proposed Action. Under the requirement that BLM actions must comply with federal, state, and local laws, the borehole completion requirements of NAC Chapter 534 must be met. These are required to safeguard surface and ground water resources against contamination. Surface water quality may be affected where the access road to B-3/TPU-1 crosses Duck Creek. No wetlands or riparian zones are located within or near the project area. Wetlands and Riparian areas associated with Duck Creek may be affected where the access road to B-3/TPU-1 crosses Duck Creek.
Commented [HM169]: This needs to be analyzed (or maybe the Wetland and Riparian), but the project directly crosses thru the stream of Duck Creek. Commented [GM170]: No information on access routes to B-3/TUP-1 was provided at the time table 3.1 was filled in, so the crossing through Duck Creek was unknown at that time. Impacts to water quality from vehicle traffic such as pollution and sediment erosion and deposition into Duck Creek needs to be analyzed under Water Quality, Surface and Ground, and impacts to streambed and aquatic habitat through compaction and sediment loading needs to be analyzed under Wetlands and Riparian Zones.

Rationale area. Activities would cause temporary displacement of livestock from the construction area and temporary loss of forage. However only 0.46 acres of the West Schell Bench and 0.11 acres of the Gilford Meadows allotments would be affected. Given the minimal disturbance areas, there would be ample areas within the allotments for livestock to temporarily relocate for the duration of the project. There would be no ground disturbance in the Duck Creek Allotment.

Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors.

Habitat Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops. Sagebrush steppe. Nest in areas with relatively dense cover from big sagebrush. May use areas with rabbitbrush, greasewood, and grassy areas. Leks are located in clear areas such as broad ridgetops, grassy swales, dry lakebeds, and sometimes recently burned areas. Chick rearing areas include irrigated pastures, wet meadows, and alfalfa fields, in addition to sagebrush. Found in mountains and plains in open and semi-open habitat in coniferous forests, savanna, grasslands, fields, around cities and towns. Nests on the ground on a bare site in an open area. In some areas also nests on flat gravel roofs of buildings. Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs.
Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows.

Habitat Breed in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains.
Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, scrub oak, and chaparral communities, and sometimes in pine forests; specialized for feeding on pine seeds. Open country with short vegetation and well-spaced shrubs or low trees, particularly those with spines or thorns. Frequent agricultural fields, pastures, old orchards, riparian areas, desert scrublands, savannas, prairies, golf courses, and cemeteries. Often seen along mowed roadsides with access to fence lines and utility poles. Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krummholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to highelevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred. Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roosting-habitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyon-juniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1,770 7,000 feet.; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter.

Habitat Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth, around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Normally associated with water, though may disperse long distances away from water to establish new territories. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter. Found through most of the state, ranging from low desert to high mountains in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, has been found at around 11,480 feet in the Sierra Nevada. ROOST HABITAT: selects a variety of day roosts including cliff faces, mines, caves, buildings, bridges, and hollow trees. Associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to friable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows, where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems. Inhabit arid and semi-arid regions encompassing desert scrub, chaparral, halophytic regions, and grasslands. Generally, areas with sparse ground cover are favored. Preferred vegetation includes sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and saltbrush (Atriplex polycarpa). Loose textured soils may be prioritized for denning. Kit foxes can also be found in agricultural areas and some urban areas. They are found at elevations of 1,300 to 6,200 feet above sea level.

SECTION 3 - RISK RATING TABLE 3 - FACTOR 1 Factor 1 assesses the likelihood of noxious/invasive weed species spreading to the project area. None (0) Low (1-3) Moderate (4-7)
High (8-10)
Noxious/invasive weed species are not located within or adjacent to the project area. Project activity is not likely to result in the establishment of noxious/invasive weed species in the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species are present in the areas adjacent to but not within the project area. Project activities can be implemented and prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species located immediately adjacent to or within the project area. Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area. TABLE 4 - FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area. Low to Nonexistent (1-3) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring. TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10) Moderate (11-49)
High (50-100)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area. Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed: • Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
• Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. • Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. • Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

Introduction Background Information White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The anticipated Project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and would be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide other electric system services important for a stable transmission grid, fostering the continued integration of renewable energy in the region. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021. White Pine has also submitted an SF-299 Right-of-Way application to BLM on 11/24/2020. White Pine is conducting a number of studies for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. One of the studies that is required for the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is to conduct a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical study is the subject of this document. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to conduct geotechnical sampling to determine feasibility of the proposed pumped storage project and obtain geologic and geotechnical information of the subsurface conditions. The need for the Proposed Action is established under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) where consistent and other applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The geotechnical study is needed to support feasibility level design of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project and to determine suitability for construction of underground powerhouse and water conduits (tunnels, shaft). The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy.

Commented [KA1]: We thought this EA was specific to the exploration? We thought it was made fairly clear earlier to make these two actions completely separated during analysis?
Decision to be Made The BLM Bristlecone Field Office would determine whether to grant a permit for use of BLM-managed lands for a geotechnical study, based on White Pine’s application for Land Use using Form 2920. Conformance, Permits, and Approvals BLM Land Use Plans The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended, which are to: “provide opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources” (page 73) and “be responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rights-of-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy” (page 73). This document is in conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015). The ARMPA maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), or Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). The parcels are within GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat. None of the Proposed Action other than the staging area would fall within PHMA. The following Management Decisions for Renewable Energy RE also apply (page 74): RE-1: Review proposed renewable energy developments on a project-specific basis, considering potential resource conflicts and mitigation measures. RE-4: Establish wilderness study areas as avoidance areas. RE-5: Establish designated wilderness as exclusion areas. RE-6: Establish ACECs [Areas of Critical Environmental Concern] as avoidance or exclusion areas. The Proposed Action, which is a geotechnical study to evaluate the feasibility of a renewable energy development, would not affect wilderness study areas, designated wilderness, or ACECs. Relationship to Statutes, Regulations or Other Plans The proposed action is in compliance with federal laws and regulations, Executive Orders, and Department of Interior and BLM policies and is consistent, to the maximum extent possible, with state laws and local and county ordinances and plans, including the following: • • • • •
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (1976) as amended and the associated regulations at 43 CFR Part 1600 Energy Policy Act (2005) National Environmental Policy Act (1969) and the associated CEQ regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508, as revised (2020) Clean Water Act (1972) Safe Drinking Water Act (1974)

Proposed Action and Alternatives Introduction This EA analyzes the potential effects of implementing Alternative A (Proposed Action) and Alternative B (No-Action Alternative). The No-Action Alternative is considered and analyzed to provide a baseline against which to compare the impacts of the Proposed Action. No other alternatives were brought forward for detailed analysis because additional action alternatives would have similar impacts as those described under the Proposed Action and can be analyzed under this alternative. 2.2
Alternative A-Proposed Action
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) proposes to conduct a geotechnical study to investigate feasibility of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The geotechnical study would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) (see figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) (see figures 2.4 through 2.6 in Appendix A). White Pine would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as a temporary staging area. No new roads would be constructed. This Environmental Assessment covers the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical study. Maps of the Proposed Action vicinity, boring and test pit locations, access roads, and the temporary staging area are provided in Appendix A. Estimated disturbances associated with the Proposed Action are provided in Table 2.1. All limits of disturbed areas, including drill pads, test pit pads, existing roads, and staging area, would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. The contractor would obtain necessary road and railroad crossing permits and would provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

Borings White Pine would procure a drilling contractor to drill three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology to obtain engineering and design parameters. The geotechnical study would use existing roads for access.

Commented [KA3]: Will documentation be provided to monitor the access roads pre and post disturbance? The SETT has significant concerns that due to the grade and current condition of the access roads, they will likely require modification, which will put the project proponent out of compliance.
The three borings would be located between the anticipated upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Boring 1 (B-1) would be located in the area of the anticipated tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir. Boring 2 (B-2) would be at the nearest road access to the anticipated tailrace tunnel. Boring 3 (B-3) would be located the at the upper reservoir area near the shaft intake, just above of the underground powerhouse cavern. Proposed borehole sites are shown in Figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A. At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area would be used for a drill pad. Vegetation located within the drilling pads would be removed and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Drill pads would be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor would operate a DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Drills and equipment would be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. The borings would be completed using a closed-loop system of bentonite clay and fresh water. The bentonite slurry would be circulated through the bore hole to lubricate the drill bit, remove cuttings, and keep the hole open during drilling. The bore hole would be cased with steel casing through the upper layers of alluvium. Once the boring is complete, White Pine’s Drilling contractor would conduct geophysical tests to obtain information about the characteristics of the rock and to inform the feasibility engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Once the geotechnical study is complete, bore holes would be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers would be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal would be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor would abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout would consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout would be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe would extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing would then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor would add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor would return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details would be recorded on the drillers daily log. Test Pits In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Test pits would be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. Four of the Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

five test pits would be in the vicinity of the anticipated lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) and one would be in the vicinity of the anticipated upper reservoir (TPU-1). Each of the five test pits would measure 50 feet by 50 feet. Following clearing of vegetation and large rocks and described above for the borings, within each of the five workspaces, a tracked hydraulic excavator would dig a benched excavation measuring 24 feet wide by 24 feet long by 24 feet deep. Spoils would be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit would be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. For safety, no personnel would be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk sampling is complete, the test pits would be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill would be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Roads The geotechnical study would involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e., smoothing) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, and TPU-1) are described in detail below. White Pine would use existing roads for access and would provide road maintenance (i.e., smoothing) when needed. Turnarounds for large equipment would be incorporated at each boring location. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and would be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. Road maintenance for drilling and sampling activities would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the existing access roads would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated disturbances for the Proposed Action are listed in Table 2.1 above. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 would use existing roads off Highway 93 as illustrated in Figure 2.4 in Appendix A. TPL-1 through TPL-4 also would be accessed by existing roads. Access to Boring B-2 Access to B-2 would be by existing roads and would use the designated Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crossing off South Industrial Way. Proposed access to B-2 is depicted in Figure 2.5 in Appendix A. Access to Boring B-3 and TPU-1 Boring B-3 and the upper reservoir test pit (TPU-1) would be accessed from White Pine County Road 489 in Duck Creek Valley, and an existing 2-track road. Proposed access to B-3 and TPU-1 is depicted in Figure 2.6 in Appendix A. Staging Area White Pine proposes to use a 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. This area is currently used as an area Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

where vehicles pull off or turn around on County Road 29. No grading or removal of vegetation would occur. The staging yard would be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. The staging area would be used for equipment staging and storage, and a core logging shack/tent. Duration and Traffic Work for the Proposed Action is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 would work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews would divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel would travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Geotechnical Study work site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity would require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated schedule is shown below in Table 2.2. Table 2.2. Estimated Anticipated Schedule for Geotechnical Study Activity Road Improvements, B-1 and B-2 Road Improvements, B-3 Mobilization to B-1 and B-2 Mobilization to B-3 B-1 Drilling and Testing B-2 Drilling and Testing B-3 Drilling and Testing Demobilization and Reclamation, B-1 and B-2 Demobilization and Reclamation, B-3 Field Work Completed
Anticipated Duration 1 day for each location 1 to 2 day 1 day for each location 2 days to complete 13 to 15 working days 50 to 55 working days (Double shift) 60 to 65 working days (Single & Double Shift) 1 day for each location 1 to 2 days 150 to 155 working days
The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site would vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. White Pine would attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, White Pine would utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices White Pine has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect the environment. BMPs would be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. BMPs would be implemented throughout the Proposed Action areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas and prevent movement of sediment and stormwater. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap.

Commented [KA4]: Are the existing roads capable of supporting this much traffic for the duration of time expected for exploration?
Spill Prevention All liquids would be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent spills and leaks, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets would include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and would be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers would be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures would be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel would be delivered to the Proposed Action area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. Fuel from the support truck would be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or Gasoline). Fuel from safety cans would be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling would be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit would be staged at each work site.
Protection of Wildlife and Special Status Species The following measures would be followed to minimize impacts to wildlife and special status species: • •
• •
Construction activities would occur outside the seasonal restrictions for greater sage-grouse breeding, nesting, and late-brood rearing seasons. Compensatory mitigation through the State of Nevada Conservation Credit System would be implemented for direct and indirect impacts from activities occurring on federal lands in greater sage-grouse habitat. White Pine would establish and post speed limits on roads in Greater Sage-grouse habitat to reduce vehicle/wildlife collisions or would design roads to be driven at slower speeds. It is not anticipated that ground-disturbing activities would occur within migratory bird nesting season. However, if ground-disturbing activities would occur between March 1 and July 31 in order to complete the Proposed Action on schedule, White Pine would conduct pre-construction nest clearance surveys prior to conducting those activities.
Commented [KA5]: What about winter seasonal timing restrictions?
Commented [KA6]: Design roads? We thought no new roads were being constructed?
Vegetation White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts on vegetation (including special status species) and wildlife habitat: •
• •
•
The Proposed Action has been designed so that construction of new roads would be limited to the greatest extent possible, and existing roads would be used to access borehole locations and test pad sites. To the greatest extent possible, the construction of roads within riparian areas and ephemeral drainages would be avoided. Best management practices would be applied on all access roads and work areas for sediment control and stormwater management. White Pine’s contractor will develop a stormwater management plan. White Pine would use water trucks to abate dust on access roads and during drilling activities.

Commented [KA7]: The proposed action does not include new roads. “Construction of new roads would be limited” is therefore not being analyzed and should not be a possible permitted action? Commented [KA8]: Same comment, are there potential for disturbance to riparian areas within the project site?
•
When the proposed geotechnical studies are completed, disturbed areas would be reclaimed to the pre-disturbance landforms and desired plant communities.
Forests/Woodland Products and Rangelands •
Disturbance areas would be rehabilitated with fire-resistant native perennial plant species that would reduce fire risk. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) and forage kochia (Bassia prostrata) are examples of these fire-resistant plant species.
Noxious Weeds White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts related to noxious weeds and invasive species: • • •
• •
•
•
White Pine would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. Equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. BLM would continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities. Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds would be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. Prior to White Pine and its contractors entering public lands, the BLM would provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving would be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment would be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression would be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts would concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis would be applied to axles, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs would be swept out and refuse would be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites would be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.
Demobilization and Reclamation Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork would be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation and final stabilization of disturbed areas would include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Wheel ruts and marks would be removed to restore the ground Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts would be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials would be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 2.3 Alternative B-No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the Geotechnical Study would not be performed. Borings would not be drilled; test pits would not be dug; and the staging area would not be used. The No Action Alternative would prevent from obtaining geotechnical information that is crucial for the feasibility study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. 2.4 Alternatives Considered but Not Analyzed in Detail Two Alternatives were considered but were not analyzed in detail. First, White Pine considered an alternative route to access borehole B-1, shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. This access route would have travelled on existing right-of-way owned by the Nevada Northern Railway, as shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. However, Nevada Northern Railway would not grant permission for use of its right-of-way. White Pine designed a new route to B-1 as shown in Figure 2.4 and resubmitted its Form 2920 application in April 2021. This alternative was not considered further. Secondly, White Pine evaluated an alternative (Figure 2.8) that would have sited B-3 and an associated access path in sage-grouse habitat that was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and NorthEastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) as habitat management category Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA). Land disturbance within PHMA is not compliant with the ARMPA. White Pine revised its plan and moved the boring site out of PHMA and removed the access path in order to avoid extended reviews required for land disturbance within PHMA in an effort to keep the geotechnical study on schedule to commence drilling in the fall before the snow impedes progress on the drilling efforts. This alternative had greater impacts and was not considered further.
Affected Environment and Environmental Effects Introduction This chapter presents the potentially affected environment (i.e., the physical, biological, social, and economic values, and resources) of the impact areas as documented in the IDT Checklist (Appendix A) and introduced in Chapter 1 of this EA. This chapter includes issues analyzed, impacts to the analyzed resources, and project design features that would be carried forward into the Decision Record as conditions of approval of the proposal. Only those aspects of the affected environment that are potentially impacted are described in detail. While many potential issues may arise during scoping, not all of them warrant analysis. Issues raised through scoping are analyzed if: • •
Analysis of the issue is necessary to make a reasoned choice between alternatives. The issue is significant (e.g., an issue associated with a significant impact, such as a potential violation of a law imposed to protect the environment); and/or
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

•
Analysis of the issue is necessary to determine if the impacts are significant, which includes impacts that are later in time or farther removed in distance.
Potential impacts to the following resources/concerns were evaluated in accordance with criteria listed above to determine if detailed analysis was required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all Federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District BLM in particular. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix B list the resources considered and their applicability to the Proposed Action.

General Setting The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin in east-central Nevada. The climate of the Steptoe Valley Basin is semiarid. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, approximately 2 miles northeast of the Proposed Action, is the closest body of water to the Project and much of the creek flow originates as spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately 7,900 feet to 11,883 feet. The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. The elevation at the proposed site for B-1 is approximately 6,570 feet, while B-2 would be at approximately 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the potential site of the lower reservoir can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover, and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin Pinyon- Juniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy. Species of vegetation include sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 would cross east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3. B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover. B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. The existing access road to B-3 travels west from Highway 486, and traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats. The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat. Resources/Issues Brought Forward for Analysis The following sections evaluate resources for the potential for significant impacts to occur due to implementation of the proposed action. Potential impacts were evaluated to determine if detailed analyses Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

were required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District in particular. Table 3.1 in Appendix B lists any resources and rationale for not being carried forward for analysis as well as those that are carried forward. Vegetation Affected Environment The habitats, and labels, described below are derived from U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat descriptions and have been modified based on site-specific conditions (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011). Great Basin Foothill and Lower Montane Riparian Woodland This habitat is dominated by Hind’s willow (Salix exigua ssp. hindsiana) and Scouler’s willow (Salix scouleriana) in the tree layer, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a moderately closed canopy. In the riparian corridor the shrub layer is relatively undeveloped with sparsely scattered occurrences of rose (Rosa sp.) and golden current (Ribes aureum), however rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) and dwarf sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) occur along the margins of this habitat more consistently than shrub species within it. An herb layer is present with toad rush (Juncus bufonius) along the water banks and occurrences of watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxicum officinale). This habitat occurs at the east end of the upper reservoir on Duck Creek. This habitat occurs along existing access roads for the upper reservoir. Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophyla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. The shrub layer is fairly developed with dwarf sagebrush, indian rice grass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), square stem phlox (Phlox muscoides), prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis). The herb layer is generally sparse with some scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with approximately 5 percent bare ground or less. Open canopy forms are approximately half vegetated with bare ground and debris making up the remainder of the habitat. Both forms occur along existing access roads to both reservoirs and the closed canopy form occurs at B-2. Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral This habitat is dominated by Mexican cliffrose (Purshia mexicana) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of blue grama, matted wild buckwheat, and kindlingweed. Scattered individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer is fairly undeveloped overall, with bare ground comprising approximately two-thirds of the habitat. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland but it is essentially devoid of dwarf sagebrush.

This habitat occurs along the existing access road to the upper reservoir. Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat is dominated by dwarf sagebrush and/or black sagebrush (Artemisia nova) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of kindlingweed, rubber rabbitbrush, and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer has some cover of cheatgrass but is fairly undeveloped overall. This habitat is similar to Great Basin SemiDesert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of Mexican cliffrose. This habitat occurs throughout the study area. This habitat has one form in addition to the standard form described above. A juniper savannah form occurs at the base of the slopes on both sides of the Duck Creek Range, and differs from the standard form in having a relatively denser cluster of Utah juniper along with a relatively higher cover of perennial grass species, such as blue grama and Indian rice grass, but not at sufficient levels to define it as a juniper woodland. This habitat occurs along access roads to both reservoirs, the laydown yard, and at TPL-2, 3, and 4. The juniper savannah form occurs along existing access roads, at the lower reservoir. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that indian rice grass and/or blue grama is subdominant to codominant with dwarf sage brush. The tree layer is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat are present only sporadically. Other grass species occur less frequently such as curly blue grass (Poa secunda) and cheatgrass, as well as other herbs such as Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat. This habitat occurs at both proposed reservoirs. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads and at TPL-1, TPU-1, B-1, and B-3. Inter-Mountain Basins Mountain Mahogany Woodland This habitat occurs at the upper reservoir and is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree layer. Dwarf sagebrush is present in this habitat, but at much lower percent cover than other sagebrush habitats, and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub layer include snowberry (Symphoricarpus sp.), blue grama, and kindlingweed. The herb layer is either poorly developed or moderately developed with cheatgrass, narrow-leaf nestotus (Nestotus stenophyllus), and Ibapah spring parsley (Cymopterus ibapensis). This habitat occurs primarily at the upper reservoir. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads to the upper reservoir. Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat is dominated by cheatgrass with some cover of wise tansy mustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella). This habitat occurs at the north west end of the lower reservoir. This habitat occurs along existing access roads to the lower reservoir.

Disturbed, Non-Specific This land cover occurs at the upper reservoir and is a cattle rest area. The vegetation is heavily trampled and grazed to the point that only thatch remained on the ground. This habitat occurs along the existing access road to the upper reservoir.
Special Status Plants According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the Endangered Species Act are known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species have the potential to occur in White Pine County. However, none of these three species are expected to occur in the study area because Table 3.4 in Appendix B lists the eight BLM sensitive species that have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. White Pine proposes to conduct botanical resource surveys that follow the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). During field surveys conducted in 2021 in support of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project, surveyors targeted the eight BLM sensitive plant species. The field survey effort ascertained that Great Basin fishhook cactus and basalt spring parsley do not occur within the area of the Proposed Action.
Noxious Weeds Noxious and invasive weed species are a threat to native species throughout White Pine County (White Pine County Public Land Users Advisory Committee, 2018). A total of 47 noxious weed taxa have been recorded in White Pine County, Nevada. All of these taxa, listed in Table 3.5 in Appendix B, could occur in the area of the Proposed Action. BLM conducted a Risk Assessment for noxious and invasive weeds in June 2021. The Risk Assessment is provided in Appendix C. Environmental Effects Proposed Action During initial site preparation vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Special Status Plants Of the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified with potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action, no potential exists for impacts to shadscale spring parsley (Cymopterus basalticus) or Great Basin fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus pubispinus). A focused survey for the remaining six BLM sensitive plant species in the study area will occur in July 2021. If any of these species are found and have potential to be impacted by the project, consultation with BLM would occur to determine appropriate avoidance and minimization measures. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization measures could include stockpiling any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and respreading after completion. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

measures could potentially take the form of harvesting and replanting, seed collection and dispersal, habitat enhancement of non-impacted populations, or another appropriate measure based on biology of the species, consultation with BLM, and available opportunities. Noxious Weeds The potential for spread of noxious weeds is evaluated in the Risk Assessment in Appendix C. White Pine and its contractor would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. The noxious weed management plan would include best management practices as described in Section 2.1.6, including pressure washing equipment prior to its arrival onsite to remove debris, dirt, and vegetation. With these measures in place, the Proposed Action would not contribute to the spread of invasive non-native species. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect vegetation. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Fish and Wildlife Affected Environment Fish and Aquatic Resources The only aquatic habitat within the vicinity of the Proposed Action is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between Duck Creek Mountain Range and Schell Creek Mountain Range and alongside White Pine County Road 29. Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the NMFS has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Proposed Action (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] undated).
Wildlife The Proposed Action area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer distributions exist within portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figures 3.1 through 3.3 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping and the NDOW Occupied Mule Deer habitat maps, B-2, B-3, and the existing roads that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 are located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include elk, pronghorn, several bat species, black-tailed jackrabbit, pygmy rabbit, mountain lion, coyote, and gray fox, as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Numerous bird species inhabit the Proposed Action area, including but not limited to Cooper’s Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

hawk, Swainson’s hawk, golden eagle, American kestrel, loggerhead shrike, pinyon jay, juniper titmouse, sage thrasher, vesper sparrow, and several other species of passerine songbirds. Spring snails may be present in springs and spring pools in the Duck Creek Basin. McGill Spring is located in the area of the Proposed Action; however, this spring has been heavily modified with fencing and a vertical culvert and no longer functions as a natural spring likely to support spring snails. Elk distributions are shown on Figures 3.4 through 3.6 in Appendix A. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Fish and Aquatic Resource No Essential Fish Habitat would be affected by the Proposed Action. Duck Creek would not be affected by the Proposed Action, and its fish and aquatic resources would not be affected. Wildlife Under the Proposed Action, mule deer and elk may be temporarily disturbed by drilling activities due to human presence and noise. It is anticipated that the short duration of the activities would cause minor to minimal impacts on elk and mule deer. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. To reduce impacts to wildlife habitat from the spread of noxious weeds, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect fish and wildlife or their habitats. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Special Status Species, including Migratory Birds Animal species with special status are described in this section. Please see section 3.3.4 for discussion of special status plant species. Affected Environment The overall Proposed Action area for the geotechnical study is located within a 3.1-mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, and therefore White Pine has revised access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse.

Rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional BLM land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority. White Pine conducted field surveys of the area of the Proposed Action in September 2020. Table 3.6 in Appendix B lists the special status wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Nevadadesignated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the area are also included in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District (BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Responses to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (NDOW 2019b; NDOW 2021a). Habitat data for each species were compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Species in Table 3.6 in Appendix B are listed as unlikely to occur, could occur, and expected to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with the study. A species is labeled as known to occur only if it was directly observed in the study area during the September 2020 portion of the study. Habitat for migratory birds is located throughout the area for the Proposed Action. Greater Sage-grouse The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sagegrouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In the ARMPA, the management categories are defined as follows: PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sagegrouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is located in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [KA9]: Habitat was actually delineated by the USGS for use by BLM and the State of Nevada.
maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA. The three drilling work areas and five test pit work areas would be located within GHMA. OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as unmapped habitat in the ARMPA that are within the planning area and contain seasonal or connectivity habitat areas. No project features are proposed in OHMA. Two greater sage-grouse leks are within 3.1 miles of the proposed site of B-3. The Canyon Springs NE lek is 1.83 miles east of B-3 and the Gilford Meadows lek is 3.01 miles east of B-3. White Pine conducted lek counts between March 29 and April 28, 2021, and male sage-grouse were observed strutting at both leks. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadows lek were last surveyed in 2018 and were active. Per NDOW recommendations, noise measurements were collected at the Canyon Springs NE and Gilford Meadows leks from May 4 to 14, 2021 according to the Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020). The results of the noise measurements will be modeled against anticipated noise related to the Proposed Action and will be presented to BLM in late 2021. Drilling activities are scheduled to occur outside of lekking season, and it is not anticipated that noise as a result of drilling activities would disturb sage-grouse activity. Figures 3.7 through 3.9 in Appendix A illustrate the facilities for the Proposed Action within PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA. Environmental Effects Proposed Action The Proposed Action may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and the special status species that could occur in the project area as listed in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. The following species would not be affected because the Proposed Action would not impact Duck Creek: relict dace, northern leopard frog, Columbia spotted frog, sandhill crane, Great Basin willow flycatcher, American beaver, and American water shrew. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during excavating or drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. Impacts to breeding birds are not anticipated because the Proposed Action would not occur during breeding season; however, White Pine would protect breeding birds with a nest clearance survey prior to construction if the Proposed Action were to occur between March 1 and July 31.

To prevent the spread of weeds and non-native plants, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Greater Sage-grouse Under the Proposed Action, greater-sage grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to human presence and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that the short duration of the project would cause minimal to no impacts to greater sage-grouse. Drilling under the Proposed Action is scheduled to occur outside of seasonal timing restrictions. Disturbed work areas would be reclaimed and additional measures incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to greater sage-grouse. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. The Proposed Action would result in temporary disturbance associated with three drilling work areas, and five test pit work areas within GHMA. No disturbance is proposed within OHMA. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Mitigation Executive Order 2018-32Regulation 232.400-232.480, direct and indirect impacts to sage-grouse habitat as a result of the proposed drilling activities were analyzed using the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The proposed surface disturbances for drilling activities were submitted in a desktop debit analysis to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT). The resulting analysis concluded that the debit obligation for the Proposed Action would result in 8 debits. Prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed, the project proponent must offset the credit obligation in its entirety, complete an authorized Phased Purchase Agreement, or develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT). If a mitigation plan is developed, it must be approved by the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council. If the entire credit obligation is not mitigated for up front, at least 1/3 of the total required compensatory mitigation must be offset prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed. Any balance of a credit obligation (including a five percent phasing factor applied to a balance) would be required to be offset within 10 years. White Pine would obtain 9 8 credits, plus additional credits with any applicable proximity factor, to offset the debit obligation prior to beginning construction of the Proposed Action. With this measure in place, calculated impacts to greater sage-grouse would be offset. and would not be significant. No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, special status species would not be disturbed, and the area would provide the same quality of habitat for all wildlife. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice The area of analysis for Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice is White Pine County.

Commented [KA11]: This is not accurate. If debits are generated, that indicates there are significant impacts. It is accurate to say the impacts will be offset by purchasing credits, however the impacts are occurring and remain.
Affected Environment The Proposed Action is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008c). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service, support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase their ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirements homes (White Pine County 2012). Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475 (USCB 2019). The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages (USCB 2019). Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010). Income and Poverty From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2019). Employment and Unemployment The unemployment rate for White Pine County in August 2019 was 3.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a) and a national unemployment rate of 3.6 percent in October 2019 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019b). From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8%), Office and Administrative Support (12.9%), and Construction and Extraction (10.3%). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3%), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2%), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56%) (DataUSA 2019).

Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Socioeconomics Because the Proposed Action is a temporary geotechnical study, it would not result in permanent impacts to population or the demographic characteristics of the area. Construction would provide a short-term increase in employment for approximately 5 months. Temporary employment would be unlikely to have a significant impact on local economic conditions. Construction would likely result in short-term induced economic effects, which are changes to the local economy from purchasing materials to supply the project. Workers may increase demand for temporary housing in community centers in the region, but this effect would last only for the duration of the approximately 5-month construction period. The Proposed Action would result in positive economic impacts to White Pine County. The Applicant, White Pine, estimates the cost of the geotechnical study to be approximately $10 million. The cost of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project (for which the Proposed Action is a feasibility study) would be approximately $2.5 billion dollars. Environmental Justice The impacts on human health or the environment of the local populations, including impacts that would be disproportionately high and adverse for minority and low-income populations, have been evaluated. Items considered in the evaluation of environmental justice include human health or environmental hazards, the natural physical environment, and associated social, economic, and cultural factors. According to the CEQ environmental justice guidance under NEPA (CEQ, 1997) and Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (EPA, 2016), minorities are those groups that include American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic. Minority populations are defined where either; (a) the minority population of the affected area exceeds 50 percent or, (b) the minority population of the affected area is meaningfully greater (10 percent greater) than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis. The CEQ guidance further recommends that low-income populations in an affected area should be identified using data on income and poverty from the U.S. Census Bureau and considered in the analyses. Low-income populations are populations where households have an annual household income below the poverty threshold. As described above, the minority population of White Pine County is lower than 50 percent and lower than the minority population in the State of Nevada. Low-income populations are also lower in White Pine County than in the State of Nevada. Therefore, no environmental justice populations have been identified in the study area, and no temporary or long-term impacts to environmental justice populations would occur.

No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative also would not affect environmental justice populations. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. In addition, the beneficial economic impacts associated with the Proposed Action and with the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would not accrue to the region. Visual Resources Affected Environment A Visual Resources Inventory was conducted for the Ely District Office in 2011. Visual Resource Inventories (VRI) provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 – Visual Resources Inventory (BLM 1986). All BLM-administered lands, both surface and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes are inventoried. The VRI consists of three primary components: • Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape • Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern for scenic quality • Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or IOPs Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of four VRI Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources: Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. Per review of the 2011 VRI, the proposed geotechnical study is located within the following Scenic Quality Rating Units: Duck Creek Bench (Unit 037), and the Schell Creek Range (Unit 038). The Duck Creek Bench consists of rolling terrain with sage and grasses, with scattered patches of pinyon/juniper which follow drainage patterns on the land; the majority of the area is within the foreground or middleground distance zones. The Schell Creek Range is a prominent mountain range with rugged pyramidal forms and some exposed rock outcroppings, the majority of which is within the seldom-seen distance zone. The VRI assigned the following Sensitivity Level Rating Units to the proposed geotechnical study area: Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment, Unit 011), and State Route 486 (Unit 013). The overall sensitivity rating for both units is High, as there is a general public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide, and State Route 486 is considered an important scenic destination. Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes along with the corresponding VRM Objectives were established in the Ely District Office in August 2008 with the approval of the Ely Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP). VRM objectives corresponding to the various management classes provide standards for analyzing and evaluating proposed projects. Projects are evaluated using the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (BLM 1984), to determine if they meet VRM objectives established by the RMP. The proposed geotechnical study is within an area identified by inventory as VRI Class II and VRI Class III. For VRM Class II, the management objective is to retain the existing character of the landscape. The Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low. Management activities may be seen but should not attract the attention of the casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class III, the management objective is to partially retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be moderate. Management activities may attract attention but should not dominate the view of the casual observer. Changes should repeat the basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Proposed activities include drilling three borings and five test pits, to be accessed using existing roads, as well as a temporary staging area. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. Total land disturbance for the Proposed Action would be 0.80 acres. Vegetation located within the drilling pads (if necessary) and test pits would be removed, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite after completion of the geotechnical study. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Given the terrain and location of the proposed geotechnical study, the Proposed Action would be visible but would not dominate the view for the casual observer in the area. Residents in the vicinity may be able to view the investigation activities at a middleground to distant view. Travelers along area roads may have glancing views of these activities. Based on the temporary nature of the Proposed Action, minor clearing/grading, and non-dominant views, adverse impacts in visual resources are not anticipated. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect visual resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

Rationale area. Activities would cause temporary displacement of livestock from the construction area and temporary loss of forage. However only 0.46 acres of the West Schell Bench and 0.11 acres of the Gilford Meadows allotments would be affected. Given the minimal disturbance areas, there would be ample areas within the allotments for livestock to temporarily relocate for the duration of the project. There would be no ground disturbance in the Duck Creek Allotment.

Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors.

Habitat Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops. Sagebrush steppe. Nest in areas with relatively dense cover from big sagebrush. May use areas with rabbitbrush, greasewood, and grassy areas. Leks are located in clear areas such as broad ridgetops, grassy swales, dry lakebeds, and sometimes recently burned areas. Chick rearing areas include irrigated pastures, wet meadows, and alfalfa fields, in addition to sagebrush. Found in mountains and plains in open and semi-open habitat in coniferous forests, savanna, grasslands, fields, around cities and towns. Nests on the ground on a bare site in an open area. In some areas also nests on flat gravel roofs of buildings. Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs.
Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows.

Habitat Breed in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains.
Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, scrub oak, and chaparral communities, and sometimes in pine forests; specialized for feeding on pine seeds. Open country with short vegetation and well-spaced shrubs or low trees, particularly those with spines or thorns. Frequent agricultural fields, pastures, old orchards, riparian areas, desert scrublands, savannas, prairies, golf courses, and cemeteries. Often seen along mowed roadsides with access to fence lines and utility poles. Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

Euderma maculatum
Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krummholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to highelevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred. Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roosting-habitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyon-juniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1770 7,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter.

Habitat Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth, around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Normally associated with water, though may disperse long distances away from water to establish new territories. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter. Found through most of the state, ranging from low desert to high mountains in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, has been found at around 11,480 feet in the Sierra Nevada. ROOST HABITAT: selects a variety of day roosts including cliff faces, mines, caves, buildings, bridges, and hollow trees. Associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to friable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows, where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems. Inhabit arid and semi-arid regions encompassing desert scrub, chaparral, halophytic regions, and grasslands. Generally, areas with sparse ground cover are favored. Preferred vegetation includes sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and saltbrush (Atriplex polycarpa). Loose textured soils may be prioritized for denning. Kit foxes can also be found in agricultural areas and some urban areas. They are found at elevations of 1,300 to 6,200 feet above sea level.

Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area. TABLE 4 - FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area. Low to Nonexistent (1-3) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring. TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10) Moderate (11-49)
High (50-100)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area. Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed: • Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
• Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. • Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. • Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

Introduction Background Information White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range. The anticipated Project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and would be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide other electric system services important for a stable transmission grid, fostering the continued integration of renewable energy in the region. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021. White Pine has also submitted an SF-299 Right-of-Way application to BLM on 11/24/2020. White Pine is conducting a number of studies for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. One of the studies that is required for the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is to conduct a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical study is the subject of this document. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to conduct geotechnical sampling to determine feasibility of the proposed pumped storage project and obtain geologic and geotechnical information of the subsurface conditions. The need for the Proposed Action is established under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) where consistent and other applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The geotechnical study is needed to support feasibility level design of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project and to determine suitability for construction of underground powerhouse and water conduits (tunnels, shaft). The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy.

Commented [JD1]: Will this study determine the feasibility of soils for the Reservoirs, including the dams?
Decision to be Made The BLM Bristlecone Field Office would determine whether to grant a permit for use of BLM-managed lands for a geotechnical study, based on White Pine’s application for Land Use using Form 2920. Conformance, Permits, and Approvals
Commented [JD2]: It would be helpful to know more about the permit, specifically the duration requested. It should be made clear that this is a short-term part of a larger project.
BLM Land Use Plans The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended, which are to: “provide opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources” (page 73) and “be responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rights-of-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy” (page 73). This document is in conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015). The ARMPA maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), or Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). The parcels are within GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat. None of the Proposed Action other than the staging area would fall within PHMA. The following Management Decisions for Renewable Energy RE also apply (page 74): RE-1: Review proposed renewable energy developments on a project-specific basis, considering potential resource conflicts and mitigation measures.
Commented [JD3]: It may be helpful to support this statement to clarify how the project is going to be classified based on the allocation table in the ARMPA. It may also be helpful to clarify that what is being requested is a temporary right-of-way. Commented [JD4]: I assume this is per the Ely RMP, if so, this may make more sense prior to the paragraph on the Sage-grouse ARMPA. Also, I think the monitoring provision found on Page 74 of the RMP may be key to include here.
RE-4: Establish wilderness study areas as avoidance areas. RE-5: Establish designated wilderness as exclusion areas. RE-6: Establish ACECs [Areas of Critical Environmental Concern] as avoidance or exclusion areas. The Proposed Action, which is a geotechnical study to evaluate the feasibility of a renewable energy development, would not affect wilderness study areas, designated wilderness, or ACECs. Relationship to Statutes, Regulations or Other Plans The proposed action is in compliance with federal laws and regulations, Executive Orders, and Department of Interior and BLM policies and is consistent, to the maximum extent possible, with state laws and local and county ordinances and plans, including the following: • • • • •
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (1976) as amended and the associated regulations at 43 CFR Part 1600 Energy Policy Act (2005) National Environmental Policy Act (1969) and the associated CEQ regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508, as revised (2020) Clean Water Act (1972) Safe Drinking Water Act (1974)

Proposed Action and Alternatives Introduction This EA analyzes the potential effects of implementing Alternative A (Proposed Action) and Alternative B (No-Action Alternative). The No-Action Alternative is considered and analyzed to provide a baseline against which to compare the impacts of the Proposed Action. No other alternatives were brought forward for detailed analysis because additional action alternatives would have similar impacts as those described under the Proposed Action and can be analyzed under this alternative. 2.2
Alternative A-Proposed Action
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) proposes to conduct a geotechnical study to investigate feasibility of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range (see figure 2.4 in Appendix A). The geotechnical study would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) (see figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) (see figures 2.4 through 2.6 in Appendix A). White Pine would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as a temporary staging area. No new roads would be constructed. This Environmental Assessment covers the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical study. Maps of the Proposed Action vicinity, boring and test pit locations, access roads, and the temporary staging area are provided in Appendix A. Estimated disturbances associated with the Proposed Action are provided in Table 2.1. All limits of disturbed areas, including drill pads, test pit pads, existing roads, and staging area, would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. The contractor would obtain necessary road and railroad crossing permits and would provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Table 2.1. Land Disturbance Component of Proposed Action Dimensions, feet Drill Pads (3) for Borings B-1, B-2, B-3 100 x 50 Pads (5) for Test Pits TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4 and TPU-1 50 x 50 Existing Roads 82,244 x 12 Staging Area (private land) 150 x 50 TOTAL --a Existing roads are previously disturbed and would not be expanded.
Commented [JD8]: It should be made clear that many of these roads, especially those on the east slope, are unimproved 2-track roads and not 12’-wide roads with a consistent or improved travel way.
Acres 0.34 0.29 0.00a 0.17 0.80
Commented [JD9]: Does this include the area for the spoils pile or just the pit?
Borings White Pine would procure a drilling contractor to drill three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology to obtain engineering and design parameters. The geotechnical study would use existing roads for access.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
Commented [JD7]: It is hard to complete some of these minor improvements without expanding the roads, additional clarification may be needed here. Specifically if brush or tree removal would be needed.

The three borings would be located between the anticipated upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Boring 1 (B-1) would be located in the area of the anticipated tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir. Boring 2 (B-2) would be at the nearest road access to the anticipated tailrace tunnel. Boring 3 (B-3) would be located the at the upper reservoir area near the shaft intake, just above of the underground powerhouse cavern. Proposed borehole sites are shown in Figures 2.1 through 2.3 in Appendix A. At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area would be used for a drill pad. Vegetation located within the drilling pads would be removed and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Drill pads would be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor would operate a DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Drills and equipment would be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. The borings would be completed using a closed-loop system of bentonite clay and fresh water. The bentonite slurry would be circulated through the bore hole to lubricate the drill bit, remove cuttings, and keep the hole open during drilling. The bore hole would be cased with steel casing through the upper layers of alluvium. Once the boring is complete, White Pine’s Drilling contractor would conduct geophysical tests to obtain information about the characteristics of the rock and to inform the feasibility engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Once the geotechnical study is complete, bore holes would be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers would be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal would be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor would abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout would consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout would be pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe would extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing would then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor would add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor would return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details would be recorded on the drillers daily log. Test Pits In addition to the borings, five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Test pits would be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. Four of the Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [JD10]: Will this material be removed from the site, and if so how? The main concern is with the risk of wild fire: either leaving piles of biomass on site or mobilizing a chipper to the site. If this is primarily grass, then it’s probably a non-issue, not the case if sites are in trees or mountain brush. It will be very difficult to “restore” these sites. Rehabilitation is probably the better term to use in this case given the amount of disturbance proposed. Will topsoil be stockpiled and used for the post-construction rehabilitation work? The County believes it should be. Commented [JD11]: Please clarify where the water will come from and how it will be transported to site.
five test pits would be in the vicinity of the anticipated lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) and one would be in the vicinity of the anticipated upper reservoir (TPU-1). Each of the five test pits would measure 50 feet by 50 feet. Following clearing of vegetation and large rocks and described above for the borings, within each of the five workspaces, a tracked hydraulic excavator would dig a benched excavation measuring 24 feet wide by 24 feet long by 24 feet deep. Spoils would be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit would be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. For safety, no personnel would be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. After bulk sampling is complete, the test pits would be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill would be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator to leave the ground approximately even with the original grade. Roads The geotechnical study would involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e., smoothing) for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, and TPU-1) are described in detail below. White Pine would use existing roads for access and would provide road maintenance (i.e., smoothing) when needed. Turnarounds for large equipment would be incorporated at each boring location. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and would be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. Road maintenance for drilling and sampling activities would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the existing access roads would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated disturbances for the Proposed Action are listed in Table 2.1 above. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1 would use existing roads off Highway 93 as illustrated in Figure 2.4 in Appendix A. TPL-1 through TPL-4 also would be accessed by existing roads. Access to Boring B-2 Access to B-2 would be by existing roads and would use the designated Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crossing off South Industrial Way. Proposed access to B-2 is depicted in Figure 2.5 in Appendix A.
Commented [JD12]: Please clarify if this area will include the casting pile. Also, please clarify if topsoil will be salvaged for post construction rehabilitation. The County supports this action.
Commented [JD13]: The County would recommend spreading salvaged top soil and drill seeding all disturbed areas with a combination native and desirable adapted species in order to prevent cheatgrass establishment.
Commented [JD14]: This does could become an issue in terms of public access, particularly if work is completed in the fall during hunting season. If pull-outs are not available, then road widening, and increased fire risk is a real possibility. Commented [JD15]: It may be difficult to remove snow from 2-track roads in a manner that doesn’t result in additional disturbance. Commented [JD16]: Please clarify where such material would come from, and ensure that it is weed free. Commented [JD17]: This doesn’t make any sense. If vegetation is cleared from 2-track roads, the additional improvements (i.e. rolling dips or roadside ditches) may be required to prevent erosion. The County would advocate for removing this provision Commented [JD18]: More detail on the condition of the existing road would be good to include here, same for B-2 below.
Access to Boring B-3 and TPU-1 Boring B-3 and the upper reservoir test pit (TPU-1) would be accessed from White Pine County Road 4829 in Duck Creek Valley, and an existing 2-track road. Proposed access to B-3 and TPU-1 is depicted in Figure 2.6 in Appendix A. Staging Area White Pine proposes to use a 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. This area is currently used as an area Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [JD19]: This is the road that the County is most concerned about in terms of conflict with recreational use and the possible need to improve the road beyond the existing condition in a manner that does create an increased fire risk or erosion issue.
where vehicles pull off or turn around on County Road 29. No grading or removal of vegetation would occur. The staging yard would be fenced and the area reclaimed when the scope of work is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. The staging area would be used for equipment staging and storage, and a core logging shack/tent. Duration and Traffic Work for the Proposed Action is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. Crews of approximately 10 would work one to two, 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two 10-hour shifts per day for a total of 20 hours of work per day. A holiday break is planned (depending on timing of mobilization), then the crews would divert to a “10-day on, 4-day off” work rotation until work is completed. Personnel would travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Geotechnical Study work site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. It is expected that the entire Sample Activity would require between approximately 115 working shifts (assuming one 10-hr shift per day) and 230 working shifts (assuming two 10-hr shifts per day); the anticipated schedule is shown below in Table 2.2. Table 2.2. Estimated Anticipated Schedule for Geotechnical Study Activity Road Improvements, B-1 and B-2 Road Improvements, B-3 Mobilization to B-1 and B-2 Mobilization to B-3 B-1 Drilling and Testing B-2 Drilling and Testing B-3 Drilling and Testing Demobilization and Reclamation, B-1 and B-2 Demobilization and Reclamation, B-3 Field Work Completed
Anticipated Duration 1 day for each location 1 to 2 day 1 day for each location 2 days to complete 13 to 15 working days 50 to 55 working days (Double shift) 60 to 65 working days (Single & Double Shift) 1 day for each location 1 to 2 days 150 to 155 working days
Commented [JD20]: Given the length of time and popularity of this area for recreation, particularly in the fall for hunting (Sept. – Nov.) avoiding weekends and Holidays would be helpful.
The approximate number of daily vehicular ctrips to each work site would vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to each boring are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. White Pine would attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, White Pine would utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices White Pine has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect the environment. BMPs would be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. BMPs would be implemented throughout the Proposed Action areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas and prevent movement of sediment and stormwater. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap.

Commented [JD21]: This is a lot of travel for unimproved roads, especially with heavy vehicles such as water trucks. This also results in significant increase in fire risk. Will the project be required to post a bond to repair roads in the event that they fail under the increased traffic? The County believes this may be a good idea. It would be helpful to list what fire mitigation measures would be taken given the anticipated number of trips.
Spill Prevention All liquids would be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent spills and leaks, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets would include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and would be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers would be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures would be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel would be delivered to the Proposed Action area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. Fuel from the support truck would be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or Gasoline). Fuel from safety cans would be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling would be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit would be staged at each work site.
Protection of Wildlife and Special Status Species The following measures would be followed to minimize impacts to wildlife and special status species: • •
• •
Construction activities would occur outside the seasonal restrictions for greater sage-grouse breeding, nesting, and late-brood rearing seasons. Compensatory mitigation through the State of Nevada Conservation Credit System would be implemented for direct and indirect impacts from activities occurring on federal lands in greater sage-grouse habitat. White Pine would establish and post speed limits on roads in Greater Sage-grouse habitat to reduce vehicle/wildlife collisions or would design roads to be driven at slower speeds. It is not anticipated that ground-disturbing activities would occur within migratory bird nesting season. However, if ground-disturbing activities would occur between March 1 and July 31 in order to complete the Proposed Action on schedule, White Pine would conduct pre-construction nest clearance surveys prior to conducting those activities.
Commented [JD22]: Could the BLM please clarify what work window this leaves for the project? Would any BMPs or monitoring be implemented for mule deer given the presence of critical winter habitat.
Vegetation White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts on vegetation (including special status species) and wildlife habitat: •
• •

The Proposed Action has been designed so that construction of new roads would be limited to the greatest extent possible, and existing roads would be used to access borehole locations and test pad sites. To the greatest extent possible, the construction of roads within riparian areas and ephemeral drainages would be avoided. Best management practices would be applied on all access roads and work areas for sediment control and stormwater management. White Pine’s contractor will develop a stormwater management plan. White Pine would use water trucks to abate dust on access roads and during drilling activities.

Commented [JD23]: Just to be clear, NO new roads are proposed, correct?
•
When the proposed geotechnical studies are completed, disturbed areas would be reclaimed to the pre-disturbance landforms and desired plant communities.
Forests/Woodland Products and Rangelands •
Disturbance areas would be rehabilitated with fire-resistant native perennial plant species that would reduce fire risk. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) and forage kochia (Bassia prostrata) are examples of these fire-resistant plant species.
Noxious Weeds White Pine would implement the following practices to minimize impacts related to noxious weeds and invasive species: • • •

•
•
White Pine would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. Equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. BLM would continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities. Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds would be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. Prior to White Pine and its contractors entering public lands, the BLM would provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving would be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment would be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression would be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts would concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis would be applied to axles, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs would be swept out and refuse would be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites would be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.
Demobilization and Reclamation Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork would be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration Reclamation areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restorreclaimeded to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation and final stabilization of disturbed areas would include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Wheel ruts and marks would be Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

Commented [JD24]: A bullet needs to be added to this section in regards to how the project will mitigate the increased fire risk involved in both construction and access. Also, how recreational traffic will be dealt with in order to prevent pull-offs into existing vegetation. Perhaps a new section specific to recreation should be added with an emphasis on signage, mapping and utilization of alternate routes by the public where available. Commented [JD25]: The County supports this with the addition of topsoil salvage. It should also be clarified that crested wheat and kochia aren’t typically known as “native” plant; however, the County supports use of these plant materials as desirable adapted species. The project may also consider the use of Snowstorm kochia. This project actually offers an opportunity to test various plant materials and rehabilitation methods that could inform rehabilitation of the larger project. Such trails should be explored further.
Commented [JD26]: This seems like a more appropriate term to use throughout the document given the amount of disturbance being proposed.
removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts would be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials would be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 2.3 Alternative B-No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the Geotechnical Study would not be performed. Borings would not be drilled; test pits would not be dug; and the staging area would not be used. The No Action Alternative would prevent from obtaining geotechnical information that is crucial for the feasibility study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. 2.4 Alternatives Considered but Not Analyzed in Detail Two Alternatives were considered but were not analyzed in detail. First, White Pine considered an alternative route to access borehole B-1, shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. This access route would have travelled on existing right-of-way owned by the Nevada Northern Railway, as shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. However, Nevada Northern Railway would not grant permission for use of its right-of-way. White Pine designed a new route to B-1 as shown in Figure 2.4 and resubmitted its Form 2920 application in April 2021. This alternative was not considered further. Secondly, White Pine evaluated an alternative (Figure 2.8) that would have sited B-3 and an associated access path in sage-grouse habitat that was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and NorthEastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) as habitat management category Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA). Land disturbance within PHMA is not compliant with the ARMPA. White Pine revised its plan and moved the boring site out of PHMA and removed the access path in order to avoid extended reviews required for land disturbance within PHMA in an effort to keep the geotechnical study on schedule to commence drilling in the fall before the snow impedes progress on the drilling efforts. This alternative had greater impacts and was not considered further.
Affected Environment and Environmental Effects Introduction This chapter presents the potentially affected environment (i.e., the physical, biological, social, and economic values, and resources) of the impact areas as documented in the IDT Checklist (Appendix A) and introduced in Chapter 1 of this EA. This chapter includes issues analyzed, impacts to the analyzed resources, and project design features that would be carried forward into the Decision Record as conditions of approval of the proposal. Only those aspects of the affected environment that are potentially impacted are described in detail. While many potential issues may arise during scoping, not all of them warrant analysis. Issues raised through scoping are analyzed if: • •
Analysis of the issue is necessary to make a reasoned choice between alternatives. The issue is significant (e.g., an issue associated with a significant impact, such as a potential violation of a law imposed to protect the environment); and/or

•
Analysis of the issue is necessary to determine if the impacts are significant, which includes impacts that are later in time or farther removed in distance.
Potential impacts to the following resources/concerns were evaluated in accordance with criteria listed above to determine if detailed analysis was required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all Federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District BLM in particular.

General Setting The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin and Duck Creek Range in east-central Nevada. The climate of the Steptoe Valley Basin is semiarid. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, approximately 2 miles northeast of the Proposed Action, is the closest body of water to the Project and much of the creek flow originates as spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately 7,900 feet to 11,883 feet. The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. The elevation at the proposed site for B-1 is approximately 6,570 feet, while B-2 would be at approximately 7,140 feet. The overwhelming majority of the habitat along the bore site access roads to the potential site of the lower reservoir can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). The overall Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover, and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus). B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin Pinyon- Juniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy. Species of vegetation include sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 would cross east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). The access road to B-3 from White Pine County Road 29/Highway 426 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3. B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), the three of which are generally equal in cover. B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. The existing access road to B-3 travels west from Highway 486 (known locally as the Success Loop), and traverses Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, and Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrubland habitats. The vegetation is comprised of, in order of abundance, cliffrose (Purschia sp.), Utah juniper/single leaf pinyon, or low sage/rubber rabbit brush. The access road crosses Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat. Resources/Issues Brought Forward for Analysis The following sections evaluate resources for the potential for significant impacts to occur due to implementation of the proposed action. Potential impacts were evaluated to determine if detailed analyses Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

were required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District in particular. Table 3.1 in Appendix B lists any resources and rationale for not being carried forward for analysis as well as those that are carried forward. Vegetation Affected Environment The habitats, and labels, described below are derived from U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat descriptions and have been modified based on site-specific conditions (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011). Great Basin Foothill and Lower Montane Riparian Woodland This habitat is dominated by Hind’s willow (Salix exigua ssp. hindsiana) and Scouler’s willow (Salix scouleriana) in the tree layer, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a moderately closed canopy. In the riparian corridor the shrub layer is relatively undeveloped with sparsely scattered occurrences of rose (Rosa sp.) and golden current (Ribes aureum), however rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) and dwarf sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) occur along the margins of this habitat more consistently than shrub species within it. An herb layer is present with toad rush (Juncus bufonius) along the water banks and occurrences of watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxicum officinale). This habitat occurs at the east end of the upper reservoir on Duck Creek. This habitat occurs along existing access roads for the upper reservoir. Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophyla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. The shrub layer is fairly developed with dwarf sagebrush, indian rice grass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), square stem phlox (Phlox muscoides), prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis). The herb layer is generally sparse with some scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with approximately 5 percent bare ground or less. Open canopy forms are approximately half vegetated with bare ground and debris making up the remainder of the habitat. Both forms occur along existing access roads to both reservoirs and the closed canopy form occurs at B-2. Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral This habitat is dominated by Mexican cliffrose (Purshia mexicana) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of blue grama, matted wild buckwheat, and kindlingweed. Scattered individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer is fairly undeveloped overall, with bare ground comprising approximately two-thirds of the habitat. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland but it is essentially devoid of dwarf sagebrush.

This habitat occurs along the existing access road to the upper reservoir. Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat is dominated by dwarf sagebrush and/or black sagebrush (Artemisia nova) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of kindlingweed, rubber rabbitbrush, and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer has some cover of cheatgrass but is fairly undeveloped overall. This habitat is similar to Great Basin SemiDesert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of Mexican cliffrose. This habitat occurs throughout the study area. This habitat has one form in addition to the standard form described above. A juniper savannah form occurs at the base of the slopes on both sides of the Duck Creek Range, and differs from the standard form in having a relatively denser cluster of Utah juniper along with a relatively higher cover of perennial grass species, such as blue grama and Indian rice grass, but not at sufficient levels to define it as a juniper woodland. This habitat occurs along access roads to both reservoirs, the laydown yard, and at TPL-2, 3, and 4. The juniper savannah form occurs along existing access roads, at the lower reservoir. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that indian rice grass and/or blue grama is subdominant to codominant with dwarf sage brush. The tree layer is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat are present only sporadically. Other grass species occur less frequently such as curly blue grass (Poa secunda) and cheatgrass, as well as other herbs such as Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat. This habitat occurs at both proposed reservoirs. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads and at TPL-1, TPU-1, B-1, and B-3. Inter-Mountain Basins Mountain Mahogany Woodland This habitat occurs at the upper reservoir and is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree layer. Dwarf sagebrush is present in this habitat, but at much lower percent cover than other sagebrush habitats, and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub layer include snowberry (Symphoricarpus sp.), blue grama, and kindlingweed. The herb layer is either poorly developed or moderately developed with cheatgrass, narrow-leaf nestotus (Nestotus stenophyllus), and Ibapah spring parsley (Cymopterus ibapensis). This habitat occurs primarily at the upper reservoir. This habitat occurs along the existing access roads to the upper reservoir. Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat is dominated by cheatgrass with some cover of wise tansy mustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella). This habitat occurs at the north west end of the lower reservoir. This habitat occurs along existing access roads to the lower reservoir.

Disturbed, Non-Specific This land cover occurs at the upper reservoir and is a cattle rest area. The vegetation is heavily trampled and grazed to the point that only thatch remained on the ground. This habitat occurs along the existing access road to the upper reservoir.
Special Status Plants According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the Endangered Species Act are known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species have the potential to occur in White Pine County. However, none of these three species are expected to occur in the study area because Table 3.4 in Appendix B lists the eight BLM sensitive species that have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. White Pine proposes to conduct botanical resource surveys that follow the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). During field surveys conducted in 2021 in support of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project, surveyors targeted the eight BLM sensitive plant species. The field survey effort ascertained that Great Basin fishhook cactus and basalt spring parsley do not occur within the area of the Proposed Action.
Noxious Weeds Noxious and invasive weed species are a threat to native species throughout White Pine County (White Pine County Public Land Users Advisory Committee, 2018). A total of 47 noxious weed taxa have been recorded in White Pine County, Nevada. All of these taxa, listed in Table 3.5 in Appendix B, could occur in the area of the Proposed Action. BLM conducted a Risk Assessment for noxious and invasive weeds in June 2021. The Risk Assessment is provided in Appendix C. Environmental Effects Proposed Action During initial site preparation vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Special Status Plants Of the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified with potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action, no potential exists for impacts to shadscale spring parsley (Cymopterus basalticus) or Great Basin fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus pubispinus). A focused survey for the remaining six BLM sensitive plant species in the study area will occur in July 2021. If any of these species are found and have potential to be impacted by the project, consultation with BLM would occur to determine appropriate avoidance and minimization measures. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization measures could include stockpiling any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and respreading after completion. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species cannot be avoided, minimization Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

measures could potentially take the form of harvesting and replanting, seed collection and dispersal, habitat enhancement of non-impacted populations, or another appropriate measure based on biology of the species, consultation with BLM, and available opportunities. Noxious Weeds The potential for spread of noxious weeds is evaluated in the Risk Assessment in Appendix C. White Pine and its contractor would have a noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. The noxious weed management plan would include best management practices as described in Section 2.1.6, including pressure washing equipment prior to its arrival onsite to remove debris, dirt, and vegetation. With these measures in place, the Proposed Action would not contribute to the spread of invasive non-native species. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect vegetation. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Fish and Wildlife Affected Environment Fish and Aquatic Resources The only aquatic habitat within the vicinity of the Proposed Action is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between Duck Creek Mountain Range and Schell Creek Mountain Range and alongside White Pine County Road 29. Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the NMFS has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Proposed Action (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] undated).
Wildlife The Proposed Action area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer distributions exist within portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figures 3.1 through 3.3 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping and the NDOW Occupied Mule Deer habitat maps, B-2, B-3, and the existing roads that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 are located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include elk, pronghorn, several bat species, black-tailed jackrabbit, pygmy rabbit, mountain lion, coyote, and gray fox, as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Numerous bird species inhabit the Proposed Action area, including but not limited to Cooper’s Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA

hawk, Swainson’s hawk, golden eagle, American kestrel, loggerhead shrike, pinyon jay, juniper titmouse, sage thrasher, vesper sparrow, and several other species of passerine songbirds. Spring snails may be present in springs and spring pools in the Duck Creek Basin. McGill Spring is located in the area of the Proposed Action; however, this spring has been heavily modified with fencing and a vertical culvert and no longer functions as a natural spring likely to support spring snails. Elk distributions are shown on Figures 3.4 through 3.6 in Appendix A. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Fish and Aquatic Resource No Essential Fish Habitat would be affected by the Proposed Action. Duck Creek would not be affected by the Proposed Action, and its fish and aquatic resources would not be affected. Wildlife Under the Proposed Action, mule deer and elk may be temporarily disturbed by drilling activities due to human presence and noise. It is anticipated that the short duration of the activities would cause minor to minimal impacts on elk and mule deer. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. To reduce impacts to wildlife habitat from the spread of noxious weeds, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect fish and wildlife or their habitats. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Special Status Species, including Migratory Birds Animal species with special status are described in this section. Please see section 3.3.4 for discussion of special status plant species. Affected Environment The overall Proposed Action area for the geotechnical study is located within a 3.1-mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, and therefore White Pine has revised access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse.

Rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species have the potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional BLM land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority. White Pine conducted field surveys of the area of the Proposed Action in September 2020. Table 3.6 in Appendix B lists the special status wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Nevadadesignated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the area are also included in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District (BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Responses to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (NDOW 2019b; NDOW 2021a). Habitat data for each species were compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Species in Table 3.6 in Appendix B are listed as unlikely to occur, could occur, and expected to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with the study. A species is labeled as known to occur only if it was directly observed in the study area during the September 2020 portion of the study. Habitat for migratory birds is located throughout the area for the Proposed Action. Greater Sage-grouse The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sagegrouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In the ARMPA, the management categories are defined as follows: PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sagegrouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is located in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
20
maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA. The three drilling work areas and five test pit work areas would be located within GHMA. OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as unmapped habitat in the ARMPA that are within the planning area and contain seasonal or connectivity habitat areas. No project features are proposed in OHMA. Two greater sage-grouse leks are within 3.1 miles of the proposed site of B-3. The Canyon Springs NE lek is 1.83 miles east of B-3 and the Gilford Meadows lek is 3.01 miles east of B-3. White Pine conducted lek counts between March 29 and April 28, 2021, and male sage-grouse were observed strutting at both leks. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadows lek were last surveyed in 2018 and were active. Per NDOW recommendations, noise measurements were collected at the Canyon Springs NE and Gilford Meadows leks from May 4 to 14, 2021 according to the Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020). The results of the noise measurements will be modeled against anticipated noise related to the Proposed Action and will be presented to BLM in late 2021. Drilling activities are scheduled to occur outside of lekking season, and it is not anticipated that noise as a result of drilling activities would disturb sage-grouse activity. Figures 3.7 through 3.9 in Appendix A illustrate the facilities for the Proposed Action within PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA. Environmental Effects Proposed Action The Proposed Action may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and the special status species that could occur in the project area as listed in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. The following species would not be affected because the Proposed Action would not impact Duck Creek: relict dace, northern leopard frog, Columbia spotted frog, sandhill crane, Great Basin willow flycatcher, American beaver, and American water shrew. Other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced during construction due to human presence and noise during excavating or drilling activities, and it is anticipated they would return after the project is complete. Stipulations incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to special status species. Impacts to breeding birds are not anticipated because the Proposed Action would not occur during breeding season; however, White Pine would protect breeding birds with a nest clearance survey prior to construction if the Proposed Action were to occur between March 1 and July 31.

To prevent the spread of weeds and non-native plants, equipment arriving onsite would be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Greater Sage-grouse Under the Proposed Action, greater-sage grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to human presence and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that the short duration of the project would cause minimal to no impacts to greater sage-grouse. Drilling under the Proposed Action is scheduled to occur outside of seasonal timing restrictions. Disturbed work areas would be reclaimed and additional measures incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to greater sage-grouse. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access boring B-3 is in PHMA habitat; however, this road would only be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. The Proposed Action would result in temporary disturbance associated with three drilling work areas, and five test pit work areas within GHMA. No disturbance is proposed within OHMA. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Executive Order 2018-32, direct and indirect impacts to sagegrouse habitat as a result of the proposed drilling activities were analyzed using the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The proposed surface disturbances for drilling activities were submitted in a desktop debit analysis to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT). The resulting analysis concluded that the debit obligation for the Proposed Action would result in 8 debits. White Pine would obtain 9 credits to offset the debit obligation prior to beginning construction of the Proposed Action. With this measure in place, impacts to greater sage-grouse would be offset and would not be significant. No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, special status species would not be disturbed, and the area would provide the same quality of habitat for all wildlife. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met. Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice The area of analysis for Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice is White Pine County. Affected Environment The Proposed Action is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008c). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service,

support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase their ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirements homes (White Pine County 2012). Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475 (USCB 2019). The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages (USCB 2019). Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010). Income and Poverty From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2019). Employment and Unemployment The unemployment rate for White Pine County in August 2019 was 3.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a) and a national unemployment rate of 3.6 percent in October 2019 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019b). From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8%), Office and Administrative Support (12.9%), and Construction and Extraction (10.3%). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3%), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2%), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56%) (DataUSA 2019). Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community.

Environmental Effects Proposed Action Socioeconomics Because the Proposed Action is a temporary geotechnical study, it would not result in permanent impacts to population or the demographic characteristics of the area. Construction would provide a short-term increase in employment for approximately 5 months. Temporary employment would be unlikely to have a significant impact on local economic conditions. Construction would likely result in short-term induced economic effects, which are changes to the local economy from purchasing materials to supply the project. Workers may increase demand for temporary housing in community centers in the region, but this effect would last only for the duration of the approximately 5-month construction period. The Proposed Action would result in positive economic impacts to White Pine County. The Applicant, White Pine, estimates the cost of the geotechnical study to be approximately $10 million. The cost of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project (for which the Proposed Action is a feasibility study) would be approximately $2.5 billion dollars. Environmental Justice The impacts on human health or the environment of the local populations, including impacts that would be disproportionately high and adverse for minority and low-income populations, have been evaluated. Items considered in the evaluation of environmental justice include human health or environmental hazards, the natural physical environment, and associated social, economic, and cultural factors. According to the CEQ environmental justice guidance under NEPA (CEQ, 1997) and Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (EPA, 2016), minorities are those groups that include American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic. Minority populations are defined where either; (a) the minority population of the affected area exceeds 50 percent or, (b) the minority population of the affected area is meaningfully greater (10 percent greater) than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis. The CEQ guidance further recommends that low-income populations in an affected area should be identified using data on income and poverty from the U.S. Census Bureau and considered in the analyses. Low-income populations are populations where households have an annual household income below the poverty threshold. As described above, the minority population of White Pine County is lower than 50 percent and lower than the minority population in the State of Nevada. Low-income populations are also lower in White Pine County than in the State of Nevada. Therefore, no environmental justice populations have been identified in the study area, and no temporary or long-term impacts to environmental justice populations would occur. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative also would not affect environmental justice populations. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

In addition, the beneficial economic impacts associated with the Proposed Action and with the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would not accrue to the region. Visual Resources Affected Environment A Visual Resources Inventory was conducted for the Ely District Office in 2011. Visual Resource Inventories (VRI) provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 – Visual Resources Inventory (BLM 1986). All BLM-administered lands, both surface and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes are inventoried. The VRI consists of three primary components: • Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape • Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern for scenic quality • Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or IOPs Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of four VRI Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources: Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. Per review of the 2011 VRI, the proposed geotechnical study is located within the following Scenic Quality Rating Units: Duck Creek Bench (Unit 037), and the Schell Creek Range (Unit 038). The Duck Creek Bench consists of rolling terrain with sage and grasses, with scattered patches of pinyon/juniper which follow drainage patterns on the land; the majority of the area is within the foreground or middleground distance zones. The Schell Creek Range is a prominent mountain range with rugged pyramidal forms and some exposed rock outcroppings, the majority of which is within the seldom-seen distance zone. The VRI assigned the following Sensitivity Level Rating Units to the proposed geotechnical study area: Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment, Unit 011), and State Route 486 (Unit 013). The overall sensitivity rating for both units is High, as there is a general public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide, and State Route 486 is considered an important scenic destination. Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes along with the corresponding VRM Objectives were established in the Ely District Office in August 2008 with the approval of the Ely Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP). VRM objectives corresponding to the various management classes provide standards for analyzing and evaluating proposed projects. Projects are evaluated using the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (BLM 1984), to determine if they meet VRM objectives established by the RMP. The proposed geotechnical study is within an area identified by inventory as VRI Class II and VRI Class III. For VRM Class II, the management objective is to retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low. Management activities may be seen but should not attract the attention of the casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class III, the management objective is to partially retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be moderate. Management activities may attract attention but should Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L000-2021-XXXX-EA
25
not dominate the view of the casual observer. Changes should repeat the basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Proposed activities include drilling three borings and five test pits, to be accessed using existing roads, as well as a temporary staging area. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor improvements, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 12 feet wide. Total land disturbance for the Proposed Action would be 0.80 acres. Vegetation located within the drilling pads (if necessary) and test pits would be removed, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite after completion of the geotechnical study. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative. Each disturbed area would be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Given the terrain and location of the proposed geotechnical study, the Proposed Action would be visible but would not dominate the view for the casual observer in the area. Residents in the vicinity may be able to view the investigation activities at a middleground to distant view. Travelers along area roads may have glancing views of these activities. Based on the temporary nature of the Proposed Action, minor clearing/grading, and non-dominant views, adverse impacts in visual resources are not anticipated. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect visual resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. The goals of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project to provide an economical supply of peaking power, contribute to a more stable electric transmission grid, and foster national and regional goals for renewable energy would not be met.

Focus analysis on GRSG, but include other SSS as well that are likely to occur or be affected by the project.
Commented [JD31]: The concern the County has regarding fire is the increased construction and access that will occur during a time of year when fire risk tends to be highest, particularly in Sage-grouse and Mule deer habitat. At minimum, some sort of fire plan should be in place for the project and all vehicles should be equipped with extinguishers, water and hand tools.
X
X
The study project is temporary and would not require a permanent easement.
X
X
Commented [JD32]: The County agrees with this particular assessment; however, there is potential to impact access, existing roads and recreation in a popular area at a popular time of year (fall hunting season). Some mention of this should be made and at a minimum signage should be required to notify people of work in the area and alternate routes.

Rationale area. Activities would cause temporary displacement of livestock from the construction area and temporary loss of forage. However only 0.46 acres of the West Schell Bench and 0.11 acres of the Gilford Meadows allotments would be affected. Given the minimal disturbance areas, there would be ample areas within the allotments for livestock to temporarily relocate for the duration of the project. There would be no ground disturbance in the Duck Creek Allotment.

Habitat Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands. Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams. Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors.

Habitat Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops. Sagebrush steppe. Nest in areas with relatively dense cover from big sagebrush. May use areas with rabbitbrush, greasewood, and grassy areas. Leks are located in clear areas such as broad ridgetops, grassy swales, dry lakebeds, and sometimes recently burned areas. Chick rearing areas include irrigated pastures, wet meadows, and alfalfa fields, in addition to sagebrush. Found in mountains and plains in open and semi-open habitat in coniferous forests, savanna, grasslands, fields, around cities and towns. Nests on the ground on a bare site in an open area. In some areas also nests on flat gravel roofs of buildings. Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs.
Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows.

Habitat Breed in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains.
Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, scrub oak, and chaparral communities, and sometimes in pine forests; specialized for feeding on pine seeds. Open country with short vegetation and well-spaced shrubs or low trees, particularly those with spines or thorns. Frequent agricultural fields, pastures, old orchards, riparian areas, desert scrublands, savannas, prairies, golf courses, and cemeteries. Often seen along mowed roadsides with access to fence lines and utility poles. Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

Habitat Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krummholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to highelevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species. ROOST HABITAT: Selects a variety of day roosts including caves, trees (e.g., Ponderosa pine, quaking aspen and oaks), mines, buildings, and bridges; often night roosts in more open settings in buildings, mines and bridges; roosts in groups up to several hundred. Known from only twelve localities, but scattered distribution throughout Nevada. Distribution is patchy and linked to availability of cliff roosting-habitat. Found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forest habitats, including pinyon-juniper, sagebrush, riparian, and on urban high-rise (cliff analog) habitats. Closely associated with rocky cliffs. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1770 7,000 feet; ROOST HABITAT: Day roosts primarily in crevices in cliff faces but some indication that mines and caves may occasionally be used, primarily in winter.

Habitat Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth, around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Normally associated with water, though may disperse long distances away from water to establish new territories. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter. Found through most of the state, ranging from low desert to high mountains in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, has been found at around 11,480 feet in the Sierra Nevada. ROOST HABITAT: selects a variety of day roosts including cliff faces, mines, caves, buildings, bridges, and hollow trees. Associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to friable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows, where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems. Inhabit arid and semi-arid regions encompassing desert scrub, chaparral, halophytic regions, and grasslands. Generally, areas with sparse ground cover are favored. Preferred vegetation includes sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and saltbrush (Atriplex polycarpa). Loose textured soils may be prioritized for denning. Kit foxes can also be found in agricultural areas and some urban areas. They are found at elevations of 1,300 to 6,200 feet above sea level.

1 Category A noxious weeds are weeds that are generally not found or that are limited in distribution throughout the state. 2 Category B noxious weeds are weeds that are generally established in scattered populations in some counties of the state. 3 Category C noxious weeds are weeds that are generally established and generally widespread in many counties of the state.
The general area was last inventoried for noxious weeds in 2021. Table 2 shows a list of invasive (not noxious) species found within and/or adjacent to the project area. TABLE 2 - AREA INVASIVE (NOT NOXIOUS) SPECIES COMMON NAME LATIN NAME Common burdock Arctium minus Cheatgrass Bromus tectorum Bur buttercup Ceratocephala testiculata Bull thistle Cirsium vulgare Field bindweed Convolvulus arvensis Filaree Erodium circutarium Kochia Kochia scoparia Halogeton Halogeton glomeratus Horehound Marrubium vulgare Russian thistle Salsola kali Tumble mustard Sysimbrium altissimum Yellow salsify Tragopogon dubius
SECTION 3 - RISK RATING TABLE 3 - FACTOR 1 Factor 1 assesses the likelihood of noxious/invasive weed species spreading to the project area. None (0) Low (1-3) Moderate (4-7)
High (8-10)
Noxious/invasive weed species are not located within or adjacent to the project area. Project activity is not likely to result in the establishment of noxious/invasive weed species in the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species are present in the areas adjacent to but not within the project area. Project activities can be implemented and prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species located immediately adjacent to or within the project area. Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area. TABLE 4 - FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area. Low to Nonexistent (1-3) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring. TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10) Moderate (11-49)
High (50-100)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area. Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed: • Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
• Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator. • Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project. • Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized off-road driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

Introductions Agenda Review and Revision o No proposed revisions to the agenda rPlus Hydro and the White Pine Pumped Storage Project o rPlus Hydro selected the site due to a number of attributes o Reconnaissance was started a couple years ago and the project as evolved since that with feasibility refinement. o Railroad and lower reservoir location information ▪ The trains can operate to railroad mile post (MP) H8, but most of the HiLine train excursions go to MP H4 and H6; the Champagne and Night sky typically go to MP-6, and the day train to MP-4 ▪ Currently rPlus is looking at constructing the lower reservoir west of the existing Hi-Line right-of-way; there would be no need to re-locate the HiLine ▪ The lower reservoir would be visible from the Hi-Line. The underground powerhouse access tunnel opening and some above-ground transmission features are planned for the general vicinity of the Hi-Line. ▪ The NNR mainline from Ely to McGill crosses US 93 twice; one is paved over by Nevada Department of Transportation. But the route could be reactivated. Purpose of the Recreation Resources Study o Goal is to determine baseline conditions of recreational resources in the study area. o One of the objectives of the study is to analyze the potential effects or impacts of the project to NNR’s train rides, including night sky and champagne excursions.

Purpose is to understand the demographics, what drives visitors to ride the NNR, and what they value about the excursions: their attitudes, perceptions, and experiences. ▪ NNR does not like the slant of the survey. Appears that survey is designed to make NNR prove the train is worthwhile. NNR prefers a different survey developed by a third party. Discussion of revisions to questions ▪ The survey includes questions approved by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by NPS. ▪ NPS says questions approved by OMB for NPS use may not be appropriate for use on the railroad excursions ▪ Move question on how long they’re staying to the end; move experience up front ▪ Include before and after photosimulation of views from the Hi-Line that include project features that will be visible to visitors on the Hi-Line excursions.
Proposed schedule for survey implementation ▪ HDR will email the survey to Mark with NNR as a word document so he can make edits and add comments with his concerns. Mark expects he can turn it around by July 8th or 9th. • HDR can set up a follow-up meeting with NNR to screen share and make edits as needed. ▪ NPS would like to know if there’s a way to incorporate aesthetics/visual impacts to the survey? The visual simulations will not be ready this summer; but the survey could be conducted at a later time. Will project noise have an impact on Hi-Line train excursions? The powerhouse and reservoir pumping and filling are not expected to be audible. rPlus engineering contractor can describe potential noise impacts after preliminary engineering is complete. NNR asked if construction would impact the rail schedule? rPlus engineering contractor can determine this. Recreation resources study survey implementation o Staffing: HDR will staff the in-person survey. o HDR will make all information collected available to NNR and NPS in whatever format they prefer. o HDR has targeted 100 total surveys over 6-8 excursions. Wrap-up – Action Items, Next Steps o NNR will review and send HDR edits to the survey. o rPlus will investigate potential noise impacts. o rPlus will determine any construction impacts on the railroad schedule. o

Brett Burgess (rPlus) Kamal Gautam (rPlus) Pam McWharter (HDR) Videographer
Luigi Resta requested permission to film the meeting and introduced the videographer. He explained that the pumped hydro project will be a 10-year planning and construction project and they are preparing a documentary of the history of the project. Jared Bybee and Robbie McAboy agreed to be filmed. Jared relayed that he thought the Geotech Study EA was in a good spot and that the internal comments would be turned around by Friday. He said the EA could go out for public comment at the same time that the BLM and Cooperators conducted their second review of the document. Both will feed into the final EA. Jared said the BLM would be ready to make the EA available for public review on Friday if HDR sends them the EA on Friday. Luigi said that ultimately, they were hoping for a Categorical Exclusion (CX) but understood they were in a process that wouldn’t allow. The original application was submitted in September of 2020 for 0.7 acres for 3 bore holes. This affects the licensing process and timing of the whole project. There is only a 45-day window for drilling from a weather perspective. Jared said that he knew rPlus was hoping for September 15, he couldn’t guarantee that date but said it would be close to that date. Luigi said it was a $1M mobilization cost and rPlus could not have a loose date. Jared explained why the study needed an EA rather than a CX. Said there was an internal review and typically a project like the Geotech study would qualify for a CX. In this situation there is sage grouse and a high amount of public interest. That is why the BLM determined an EA was more appropriate. There needs to be a look at disturbances with the activity related to the sage grouse. Said moving the bore holes into GHMA provided an avenue for him to approve the action, whereas in PHMA he would not have been able to approve. At this point in time, a CX would not be any faster than an EA. Jared has reached out to Cooperators because the MOUs have review times, and they were agreeable to reviewing the document concurrent with the public review. They were fine with that. Jared said that realistically, there will be a signed FONSI in the second half of September. Don’t really have to wait the 30-day appeal period for a permit but that is the safest thing to do. Luigi offered to use the cost reimbursement agreement to help fund additional staff that could be dedicated to their project. Luigi understands that there are a lot of renewable projects going on in the area right now and wants to make sure that the rPlus project gets the attention that it needs, and they would be willing to pay for that.

Robbie McAboy said that additional staff would not change the timeline for the Geotech study 2920 approval process. What the BLM could do today is to honor the commitments and timelines that they have agreed to. Luigi emphasized the need for renewable energy in Nevada and the pumped hydro project will help make that happen. The project would provide a big investment in the state and it will be a huge investment in White Pine County. This will have the equivalent effect of the Hoover Dam and will change the way that people store electricity. Pam McWharter said HDR would provide the EA document to the BLM on Friday. Jared said they would need the document by noon (PT) in order to publish. Robbie said they were looking into shortening the public comment period to see if that was a viable option for this project. Jared said that comments are put into a spreadsheet and incorporated with the final EA that goes with the decision record. No need to wait for all of comments to come in before we start to address the comments. Jared said, a permit is not typically issued until after the 30-day appeal period. Robbie said they could issue but there would be a risk to rPlus on the financial side because if they mobilize and the decision was appealed with a Petition for a Stay then everything would have to come to a halt. Robbie – with a 2-week comment period, looking at a decision in late September. When the document is sent to the public matters, if the BLM can start the public comment period on Friday that will help push the schedule, the difference between July 30 and August 2 matters. Robbie requested HDR send the document to the BLM by noon on Friday. Pam agreed. Kamal Gautam said that if they knew for sure a permit was coming, they could start part of the mobilization ahead of receiving the permit. Contractor could be bringing the equipment from Boston (for example) or other parts of the country. There is a lag between when rPlus give contractor NTP and when they start drilling the hole. If rPlus can get some kind of assurance that a permit is coming, then they could mobilize sooner. Robbie emphasized the need for communication between HDR and the BLM on the EA. Luigi suggested we set up weekly calls to touch base. Jared wants to be CC’ed on any interaction with anyone in the BLM Bristlecone office. Concetta is HDR’s main Point of Contact (POC) for the EA. Seismic Reflection 2920 application was sent to BLM July 14. Alicia Hankins is the POC for this 2920. Robbie a set check-in meeting once a week will help keep the ball rolling. Jared said sage grouse is still a concern, its not the collection of data for seismic reflection but the travel to get to the study area. Pam asked if the equipment used for the study could travel off road. Jared said that when it comes to sage grouse its not a black and white answer. Luigi asked about the bigger SF-299 ROW and timing. Is 2024 a reasonable time period for receiving an approval for the ROW? The goal would be 2030 to complete the construction. Jared said the ROW is issued based on the FERC EIS and ROW would be granted after the record of decision from the EIS. The SF-299 would parallel the path of the FERC licensing. Concern about if an SF-299 was submitted for the transmission line. The Cross-Tie transmission line is moving forward. What happens if two parties want to use the same corridor? What is the process? rPlus wants to stake their claim on the north side of the corridor. HDR has already done survey work and rPlus has put considerable investment into those efforts for the north side.

Robbie said that they need to have internal discussion on conflicts associated with the transmission corridor. Luigi said they had conducted engineer studies, cultural studies and the other studies needed for the FERC license and would pull together that list if it would ensure first priority. All agreed to meet on Wednesdays at 10am (PT) for weekly calls.

A meeting summary is attached. Please email any corrections or additions by August 23, 2021. During the meeting, NNR agreed to review the survey instrument and provide comments to HDR, hopefully by July 9, 2021. As of today, HDR has received no comments. Also during the meeting, NPS re-stated their interest in a survey component that would present visitors with before and after photosimulation of views from the Hi-Line of scenes potentially affected by Project features. As part of the Visual and Aesthetic Resources study, baseline photographs from key observation points have been collected. Photosimulation of proposed Project features is schedule to be completed later this year. Given the lack of concurrence on the existing survey instrument and the schedule for availability of photosimulations, rPlus proposes to forego implementation of an NNR visitor survey. rPlus will communicate with NNR and NPS when baseline photographs and project photosimulations are available to revisit the need for and purpose of a visitor survey. In the meantime, rPlus would like to request any existing information from NNR and NPS that would support: • An estimate the number of NNR visitors; • Demographic characteristics of NNR visitors; and • Information that characterizes visitor experiences on the Hi-Line Branch. Any information provided will be used to prepare the White Pine Pumped Storage Project Recreation Resources study report and to analyze the potential environmental effects of rPlus’ license application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for construction and operation of the Project.

Introduction Background Information White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range. The anticipated project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility1 that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. One of the studies that is required for the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical study, the Proposed Action, is the subject of this document. The location of the Proposed Action is shown on Figure 1.1. The proposed geotechnical study, as described in detail in Section 2.2, would include three borings, five test pits, and a temporary staging area. WPW would use existing roads to perform the geotechnical study and no new roads would be constructed. Figure 1.2 illustrates land ownership in the area of the Proposed Action, and Figure 1.3 shows the Proposed Action with a topographic map background. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to conduct geotechnical sampling to obtain geologic and geotechnical information on the subsurface conditions. The geotechnical study is needed to support feasibility level designs of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project and to determine the suitability for construction of underground powerhouse and water conduits (tunnels, shaft). Decision to be Made The BLM Bristlecone Field Office would determine whether to grant a permit for use of BLM-managed lands for a geotechnical study, in response to WPW’s application for Land Use and Permit using Form 2920. WPW has applied to use BLM land for the geotechnical study from September 15, 2021 to February 28, 2022. The analysis in this environmental assessment (EA) will determine whether the Proposed Action or its alternatives, including committed protection, minimization, and mitigation measures, would result in significant impacts on the human and natural environment as defined by Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations and the BLM National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Handbook H-1790-1. If the Pumped storage is a commercially proven grid-scale energy storage and grid-stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the west as new renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand; the White Pine Pumped Storage Project would use this off-peak or excess energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and would be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid in periods of peak demand. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surface watercourse. 1
WPW has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, WPW will engage stakeholders and conduct a number of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. WPW anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021. WPW also submitted an SF-299 Right-of-Way application to BLM on 11/24/2020.

analysis reveals that significant impacts would be expected, an environmental impact statement would be required; however, if no significant impacts are anticipated, the BLM would issue a Finding of No Significant Impact. Conformance, Permits, and Approvals BLM Land Use Plans The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended, which are to: “provide opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources” (page 73) and “be responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rights-of-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy” (page 73). The following Management Decisions for Renewable Energy (RE) also apply (page 74): RE-1: Review proposed renewable energy developments on a project-specific basis, considering potential resource conflicts and mitigation measures. RE-4: Establish wilderness study areas as avoidance areas. RE-5: Establish designated wilderness as exclusion areas. RE-6: Establish ACECs [Areas of Critical Environmental Concern] as avoidance or exclusion areas. The Proposed Action, which is a geotechnical study to evaluate the feasibility of a renewable energy development, would not affect wilderness study areas, designated wilderness, or ACECs. Per the Ely RMP, “Monitoring for renewable energy projects will depend on site characteristics and the type of project being proposed (e.g., wind, solar, biomass)….Monitoring protocols will be developed for the unique assemblage of resources that could be affected and in accordance with the BLM policies that are in place at the time each individual project is proposed” (page 74). The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015). The ARMPA maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), or Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). The Proposed Action area is within GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat. The borings and test pits would be outside PHMA but portions of the existing road that would be used to access boring B-3 and the staging area would fall within PHMA. The Proposed Action falls in the Lands and Realty program area of the ARMPA and Minor Right-of-Way (ROW) under the allocation decisions listed in Table 2-1 of the ARMPA. The following Management Objectives for Lands and Realty (LR) apply: Objective LR 1: Manage land use authorizations, including ROWs, leases, permits, and tenure adjustments, to maintain or enhance PHMAs and GHMAs and connectivity. Objective LR 2: Effects of infrastructure projects, including siting, will be minimized using the best available science, and updated as monitoring information on current infrastructure projects becomes available.

The following Management Decisions (MD) for Lands and Realty apply: MD LR 7: Issue ROWs only after documenting that they will not adversely affect or disrupt GRSG habitat (independent of disturbance cap), except where such limitation will make accessing valid existing rights impracticable in PHMAs and GHMAs.

Proposed Action and Alternatives Introduction This EA analyzes the potential effects of implementing Alternative A (Proposed Action) and Alternative B (No-Action Alternative). The No-Action Alternative is considered and analyzed to provide a baseline against which to compare the impacts of the Proposed Action. No other alternatives were brought forward for detailed analysis (see alternatives considered but eliminated from further analysis below). Alternative A-Proposed Action White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) proposes to conduct a geotechnical study to investigate feasibility of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range (see Figure 1.1 in Appendix A). The proposed geotechnical study would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) (see Figure 2.1 in Appendix A). WPW would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as a temporary staging area. No new roads would be constructed. WPW subcontractors would have extensive experience navigating difficult access to remote drill sites in the region. Maps of the Proposed Action vicinity, boring and test pit locations, access roads, and the temporary staging area are provided in Appendix A. The Proposed Action area is defined as the areas of disturbance and the existing access roads (see Table 2.1). The Proposed Action is scheduled to begin in September 2021 and be completed in February 2022. Estimated disturbances associated with the Proposed Action are provided in Table 2.1. Limits of disturbed areas, including drill pads, test pit pads, and existing roads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. WPW would strip and stockpile topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and re-spread the topsoil after completion. Existing vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of clearing the site would be stored on site until the Proposed Action is complete, and then spread evenly within the cleared area and dispersed on site as part of the reclamation process (see Section 2.2.7). The vegetation throughout the Proposed Action area includes non-native species, primarily cheatgrass. Seed of these non-native species is mixed with the topsoil and cannot be separated out. Existing roads would not be expanded, but road maintenance, such as clearing of large or loose rocks, adding crushed rock, or trimming or removing trees, would be conducted for safety, as necessary and as further described below in Section 2.2.3. Existing roads are approximately 7 to 12 feet wide. The contractor would obtain necessary permits and would provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

TOTAL a Existing roads are previously disturbed and would not be expanded.
Borings WPW would procure a drilling contractor to drill three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology to obtain engineering and design parameters. The geotechnical study would use existing roads for access. The three borings would be located between the anticipated upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Boring 1 (B-1) would be located in the area of the anticipated tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir. Boring 2 (B-2) would be at the nearest road access to the anticipated tailrace tunnel. Boring 3 (B-3) would be located at the anticipated upper reservoir area near the shaft intake, just above of the underground powerhouse cavern. Proposed borehole sites are shown in Figures 2.2 through 2.4 in Appendix A. At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area would be constructed and used for a drill pad. Vegetation located on the drilling pads would be removed if necessary and reclaimed after work is complete. Reclamation is described in section 2.2.7. Drill pads would be cleared by use of a tracked hydraulic 270 excavator. Limits of drill pads would be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to limit any unnecessary ground disturbance. WPW has evaluated the sites for each drill pad and determined that minimal clearing and leveling would be required. Borings would be conducted with a DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with dimensions of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with dimensions of 8 feet by 16 feet. Drills and equipment would be secured and left on site during non-working hours. The drill rigs can be broken down into components of 1,400 pounds and 2,200 pounds and would be transported to the boring sites by track-mounted vehicles. The Proposed Action would use about 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water per day per drill, approximately 850,000 gallons total for all three boreholes. Water for borings B-1 and B-2 would be obtained from a municipal hydrant in Ely and transported by water truck to the site of the Proposed Action. Water for boring B-3, approximately 400,000 gallons, would be obtained from Duck Creek Reservoir and transported by water truck to the site. Water would be withdrawn from Duck Creek Reservoir only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Duck Creek Reservoir is further described in Section 3.4.1 and shown on Figure 3.1. WPW plans 24-hour operations at B-3. The drilling contractor would take care to light the drill pad for worker safety while not allowing excessive light outside the drill site.

The borings would be drilled following NAC 534 and NRS 534 regulations. A slurry of bentonite clay and fresh water would be circulated through the borehole in a closed-loop system to lubricate the drill bit, remove cuttings, and keep the hole open during drilling. The borehole would be cased with steel casing through the upper layers of alluvium. Once the boring is complete, WPW’s geotechnical contractor would conduct geophysical tests to obtain information about the characteristics of the rock and to inform the feasibility engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Upon completion of drilling, the drill cuttings and excess drilling fluid would be disposed of on site. Once the geotechnical study is complete, the boreholes would be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning boreholes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings would be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal would be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The contractor would plug and abandon the borehole with a cementbentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout would consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout would be pumped in the borehole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe would extend to the bottom of the borehole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing would then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor would add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The contractor would return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the borehole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details would be recorded on the drillers daily log. This method of plugging and abandoning the boreholes is in compliance with NAC and NRS regulations. Vibrating wire piezometers (VWPs) would be installed in B1 and B3. VWPs are cylindrical pressure transducers that are fully grouted in the boring with cables that would extend to the ground surface and be connected into a data logger. The data logger would be placed within the well box that would be constructed at the ground surface. The VWPs would be fully-grouted in the boring and there would be no annulus or filter pack zone. The VWPs would be left in place indefinitely unless required to be removed. Both the drilling contractor and geotechnical contractor would log the boreholes and prepare boring logs that would include the information specified in NAC 534.4639(a-e). Final boring logs would be provided in a Geotechnical Data Report. Test Pits Five test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project and provide a preliminary characterization of potential borrow materials. Test pits would be excavated to approximately 24 feet in depth. Four of the five test pits would be in the vicinity of the anticipated lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4) and one would be in the vicinity of the anticipated upper reservoir (TPU-1). Each test pit area would measure 50 feet by 50 feet. Following clearing of vegetation and large rocks and described above for the borings, within each of the five workspaces, a tracked hydraulic 270 excavator would dig a benched excavation measuring 24 feet wide by 24 feet long by 24 feet deep. Spoils would be Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA

cast in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit would be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. For safety, no personnel would be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. The pit would be fenced off with temporary fencing when the work site is closed nightly to prevent injuries to animals and humans. After the bulk sampling is complete, the test pits would be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill would be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and compacted with the tracks of the excavator to leave the ground approximately level with the original grade. Reclamation of these areas following the completion of the geotechnical study is described in section 2.2.7. Roads The geotechnical study would involve use of existing access roads that may require some maintenance for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL4, and TPU-1) are described in detail below. Turnarounds for large equipment would be incorporated at each boring location. WPW would develop a radio communications plan for vehicles to be aware of each other’s location and water trucks and other WPW vehicles would use part of the periphery of the drill pads for turnarounds, they could also back up to an existing road and turn around if necessary. Existing roads may require minor maintenance to allow safe passage of water trucks and crew vehicles. Road maintenance would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Access road maintenance would be supported by rubber-tracked skid steer vehicles. Sources of water for dust control could be obtained from a municipal hydrant in Ely or from Duck Creek Reservoir. Snow removal is the only road maintenance activity that would use bladed equipment. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to boring B-1 would use existing roads off Highway 93 as illustrated in Figure 2.1 in Appendix A. TPL-1 through TPL-4 also would be accessed by existing roads. Access to Boring B-2 Access to boring B-2 would be by existing roads and would use the designated Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crossing off South Industrial Way. Proposed access to B-2 is depicted in Figure 2.1 in Appendix A. Access to Boring B-3 and TPU-1 Boring B-3 and the upper reservoir test pit (TPU-1) would be accessed from State Highway 486/White Pine County Road 29 in Duck Creek Valley, and an existing 2-track road. Proposed access to B-3 and TPU-1 is depicted in Figure 2.1 in Appendix A. Maintenance of this road would involve removing loose rock from steep sections, trimming or removing trees, and adding crushed rock in a deeply rutted silt bed area as shown in Figure 2.6. This maintenance would be needed to allow safe passage of water trucks and crew vehicles.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
10
Loose rock would be removed from steep sections in the areas shown in Figure 2.6. WPW’s contractor would use a rubber-tracked skid steer to clean off loose rocks off of the highlighted road sections. The removed material would not be sidecasted but would be transported to the B-3 drill pad by dump truck. WPW would remove loose rock from about 3,400 feet of existing access road. Along approximately 331 feet of the existing access road, WPW would trim or remove trees to allow safe passage. Trees along the access roads include Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus), single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophyla), and curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius). WPW and its contractors have identified a rutted silt bed area about ¾ mile west of Duck Creek (see Figure 2.6) where crushed rock would be added using a rubber-tracked dump bed and rubber-tracked skid steer to keep the road passable when wet. This area is about 1,450 feet long. There is no vegetation in this portion of the existing road, and WPW would confirm that the added crushed rock is weed-free. The existing road crosses Duck Creek west of Highway 486/CR 29 as shown on Figure 2.1. Construction matting would be placed in Duck Creek for vehicle and equipment crossings (see Section 2.2.6). Staging Area WPW proposes to use a 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area on private land near the intersection of White Pine County Road 29 and the B-3 access route. This area is currently used as a place where vehicles pull off or turn around on County Road 29. No grading or removal of vegetation would occur. The staging yard would be fenced until the Proposed Action is completed. No permanent land development is proposed. The staging area would be used for equipment staging and storage, and a core logging shack/tent. The staging area is illustrated on Figure 2.5 in Appendix A. Duration and Traffic Work for the Proposed Action is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately five months. WPW proposes to begin work in late September 2021. The test pits would be excavated one at a time and take about one week to complete. Borings B-1 and B-3 would be drilled consecutively, and B-2, the deepest boring, would be drilled concurrently with the other two. All work would be completed by the end of February 2022. Crews of approximately 10 would each work one to two 10-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week, as shown in Table 2.2. The anticipated schedule is shown below in Table 2.2. Table 2.2. Estimated Anticipated Schedule for Geotechnical Study Activity Anticipated Duration Existing Road Maintenance, B-1 and B-2 1 day for each location Existing Road Maintenance, B-3 1 to 2 day Mobilization to B-1 and B-2 1 day for each location Mobilization to B-3 2 days to complete B-1 Drilling and Test Pits TPL-1 through TPL-4 13 to 15 working days B-2 Drilling 50 to 55 working days (double shift) B-3 Drilling and Test Pit TPU-1 60 to 65 working days (single and double Shift) Demobilization and Reclamation, B-1 and B-2 1 day for each location Demobilization and Reclamation, B-3 1 to 2 days Proposed Action Completed 150 to 155 working days Note: Days are single shift unless otherwise indicated.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
11
The anticipated time to drill each boring differs because each is a different depth. The number of daily vehicular trips to each work site would vary based upon the required activities, but an average of 20 oneway trips per day at each respective active working site would be anticipated. This would include vehicle trips for inspectors, testing personnel, and water delivery trucks. The water truck would travel 1 to 5 round trips per shift to boring B-3 because of the depth of hole and smaller loads due to the steepness of road. Personnel in pick-up trucks would have 5 truck round trips each day (10 one-way truck trips). WPW would attempt to limit trips through carpooling but is subject to COVID-19 safety restrictions and guidelines. Weather permitting, WPW would use a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices WPW has committed to a number of best management practices (BMPs) to protect the environment. BMPs would be implemented throughout the Proposed Action area as described in the following sections. These BMPs are consistent with the RMP and with the ARMPA. Aquatic Resources and Aquatic Wildlife
Construct a temporary bridge of mats where the existing road to Boring B-3 and TPU-1 crosses Duck Creek. Place small sections of matting within the stream parallel to the flow of water so the natural flow is not restricted. Then place mats perpendicular to the stream and resting on top of the mat sections.
WPW would develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and prevent off-site migration of contaminated storm water or increased soil erosion.
Utilize self-contained mud systems with drilling fluids, mud, and cuttings disposed on site.
Soil Resources
When preparing the site for reclamation, WPW could include contour furrowing, terracing, reduction of steep cut and fill slopes, and the installation of water bars, as determined appropriate for site-specific conditions.
Spill Prevention Liquids would be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent spills and leaks. Portable toilets would include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and would be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers would be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures would be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC):
Diesel fuel would be delivered to the Proposed Action area with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup.
Fuel from the support truck would be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or Gasoline).
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
12
Fuel from safety cans would be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling would be followed during all fueling operations.
A spill cleanup kit would be staged at each work site.
Protection of Terrestrial Wildlife and Special Status Species The following measures would be followed to minimize impacts to terrestrial wildlife and special status species:
Greater Sage-Grouse: o
Construction activities would occur outside the seasonal restrictions for greater sage-grouse breeding (March 1-May15), nesting (April 1-June 30), early-brood rearing (May 15-June 15), late-brood rearing (June 15-September 15) seasons.
o
WPW would coordinate with BLM on activities occurring during winter seasonal restrictions between November 1 and February 28.
o
Compensatory mitigation through the State of Nevada Conservation Credit System would be implemented for direct and indirect impacts from activities occurring on federal lands in greater sage-grouse habitat.
Migratory Birds: It is not anticipated that ground-disturbing activities would occur within migratory bird nesting season. However, if ground-disturbing activities would occur between March 1 and July 31, WPW would conduct pre-construction nest clearance surveys prior to conducting those activities.
Bald and Golden Eagles: Ground-disturbing activities would occur during nesting season for bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). Pre-construction nest clearance surveys would be conducted prior to those activities.
See the Weed Management Plan (Appendix D) for additional measures related to weeds in areas of special status species.
Big Game: •
Management Decision WL-6: Where appropriate, restrict permitted activities in big game calving/fawning/kidding/lambing grounds and crucial summer range from April 15 through June 30. WPW does not propose activities during the April 15 to June 30 period.
•
Management Decision WL-7: Where appropriate, restrict permitted activities in crucial winter range from November 1 through March 31. WPW would coordinate with BLM on activities in crucial winter range between November 1 and March 31. Depending on weather conditions and big game populations in the area, activities may be temporarily restricted.
Vegetation
WPW would implement the following practices to minimize impacts on vegetation (including special status species) and wildlife habitat:
The Proposed Action has been designed so that existing roads would be used to access boring locations and test pad sites.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
13
Best management practices would be applied on all access roads and work areas for sediment control and stormwater management. WPW’s contractor would develop a stormwater management plan.
WPW would use water trucks to abate dust on access roads and during drilling activities.
When the proposed geotechnical studies are completed, disturbed areas would be reclaimed to the pre-disturbance landforms and desired plant communities as described in Section 2.2.7.
Disturbance areas would be reclaimed with an approved seed mixture that contains fire-resistant perennial plant species that would reduce fire risk and out-compete cheatgrass and Russian thistle. Although not native, crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) and forage kochia (Bassia prostrata) are examples of introduced fire-resistant plant species that establish well in hard-to-seed areas.
WPW would spread vegetation removed from areas of disturbance back into the area from which it was removed to provide protection, nutrient recycling, and seed source.
Noxious Weeds WPW would implement the practices in its Weed Management Plan (Appendix D) to minimize impacts related to noxious weeds and invasive species. Fire Management
Vehicles used for the Proposed Action would be equipped with fire extinguishers, water and hand tools.
WPW would prepare a Fire Management Plan for BLM review and approval prior to commencing the Proposed Action.
Within the area of operation, every effort would be made to prevent, control, or suppress any fire. WPW would report uncontrolled fires immediately to the BLM Ely Field Office Manager or Authorized Officer. The BLM Fire Dispatch telephone number is (775) 289-1925 or 1-800-6336092. After working hours, WPW would call 911 or the White Pine County Sheriff’s Office at (775) 289-8801.
Recreation WPW would post signage prior to commencing the geotechnical study activities. The signage would be designed to prevent recreational users of the existing roads in the vicinity of the Proposed Action from entering the area when roads are blocked and would recommend alternative routes. This signage would be designed to keep recreational users from having to turn around to avoid the Proposed Action and damaging vegetation adjacent to the existing roads. Demobilization and Reclamation To promote reclamation, WPW would stockpile any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and re-spread the topsoil after completion. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of clearing the site would be spread evenly within the cleared area and dispersed on site. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork would be completed with a
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
14
bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Reclaimed areas would be inspected by and approved by the BLM (Bristlecone Field Office). Decompaction of soils would be performed as directed by BLM. Reclamation efforts would be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All waste and materials would be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. As described in the BMPs in Appendix A of the RMP, reclamation requirements include reshaping, recontouring, and/or resurfacing with topsoil, installation of water bars, and seeding on the contour. Fertilization and/or fencing of the disturbance may be required. Additional erosion control measures (e.g., fiber matting and barriers) to discourage road travel may be required. WPW would implement the following additional practices during reclamation:
WPW would respread weed-free vegetation removed from the areas of disturbance to provide protection, nutrient recycling, and seed source. Where seeding is required, WPW would use appropriate seed mixture and seeding techniques approved by the BLM Authorized Officer. WPW would certify that all interim and final seed mixes, hay, straw, and hay/straw products are free of plant species listed on the Nevada noxious weed list. An area would be considered to be satisfactorily reclaimed when all disturbed areas have been recontoured to blend with the natural topography, erosion has been stabilized, and an acceptable vegetative cover has been established. The BLM would use the Nevada Guidelines for Successful Revegetation prepared by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, the BLM, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (or most current revision or replacement of this document) to determine if revegetation is successful.
Alternative B-No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, the Geotechnical Study would not be performed. Borings would not be drilled; test pits would not be dug; and the staging area would not be used. The No Action Alternative would prevent WPW from obtaining geotechnical information that is crucial for the feasibility study for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Alternatives Considered but Not Analyzed in Detail Two Alternatives were considered but were not analyzed in detail. First, WPW considered an alternative route to access borehole B-1, shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. This access route would have travelled on existing right-of-way owned by the Nevada Northern Railway, as shown in Figure 2.7 in Appendix A. However, Nevada Northern Railway would not grant permission for use of its right-of-way. WPW designed a new route to B-1 as shown in Figure 2.4 and resubmitted its application for Land Use and Permit by Form 2920 in April 2021. This alternative was not considered further. Second, WPW evaluated an alternative (Figure 2.8) that would have sited B-3 and an associated access path in sage-grouse habitat that was developed by the USGS and adopted by the BLM in the 2015 Nevada and North-Eastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) as habitat management category Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA). Land disturbance within PHMA is not compliant with the ARMPA. WPW revised its plan and moved the boring site out of PHMA and removed the access path in order to avoid extended reviews required for land disturbance within PHMA in an effort Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
15
to keep the geotechnical study on schedule to commence drilling in the fall before the snow impedes progress on the drilling efforts. This alternative had greater impacts, was withdrawn from consideration, and was not considered further.
Affected Environment and Environmental Effects Introduction This chapter presents the affected environment (i.e., the physical, biological, social, and economic values, and resources) of the impact areas as documented in the IDT Checklist (Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix B) and introduced in Chapter 1 of this EA. This chapter includes issues analyzed, impacts to the analyzed resources, and project design features that would be carried forward into the Decision Record as conditions of approval of the proposal. Only those aspects of the affected environment that are potentially impacted are described in detail. While many potential issues may arise during scoping, not all of them warrant analysis. Issues raised through scoping are analyzed if:
Analysis of the issue is necessary to make a reasoned choice between alternatives.
The issue is significant (e.g., an issue associated with a significant impact, such as a potential violation of a law imposed to protect the environment); and/or
Analysis of the issue is necessary to determine if the impacts are significant, which includes impacts that are later in time or farther removed in distance.
Potential impacts to the following resources/concerns were evaluated in accordance with criteria listed above to determine if detailed analysis was required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all Federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District BLM in particular. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix B list the resources considered and their applicability to the Proposed Action. General Setting The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin and Duck Creek Range in east-central Nevada. The climate of the Steptoe Valley Basin is semiarid. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek is approximately 2 miles northeast of the Proposed Action. It is the closest body of water to the Project. Spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range provides much of the flow for Duck Creek. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately 7,900 feet to 11,883 feet. The vegetation in the Proposed Action area is generally comprised of a pinyon-juniper woodland, mountain mahogany woodland, sagebrush scrub and sagebrush steppe, mixed chaparral, and a riparian woodland. The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1 and B-2 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. The elevation at the proposed site for B-1 is approximately 6,570 feet, while B-2 would be at approximately 7,140 feet. The access road to B-3 from Highway 486/White Pine County Road 29 starts at approximately elevation 7,400 feet and climbing to approximately elevation 8,500 feet at B-3.

The existing access road to B-3 travels west from Highway 486/County Road 29 (known locally as the Success Loop), and crosses Duck Creek and its associated montane riparian shrubland habitat. The Proposed Action area is located within 3.1 miles of three active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) leks. Reasonably Foreseeable Trends and Planned Actions Grazing for both cattle and sheep and recreational activities including hunting, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, and all-terrain vehicle use are being conducted in the vicinity of the Proposed Action and throughout the Ely District. Grazing and recreational activities would likely continue to occur at current levels within the vicinity of the Proposed Action. The geotechnical data obtained by the Proposed Action that may result in WPW requesting additional geotechnical studies at different locations. In addition, WPW may conduct other study efforts such as a seismic reflection study to fully analyze the geology in the vicinity. Resources/Issues Brought Forward for Analysis The following sections evaluate resources for the potential for significant impacts to occur due to implementation of the proposed action. Potential impacts were evaluated to determine if detailed analyses were required. Consideration of some of these items is to ensure compliance with laws, statutes or Executive Orders that impose certain requirements upon all federal actions. Other items are relevant to the management of public lands in general, and to the Ely District in particular. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix B list resources considered and rationale for either being carried forward or not being carried forward for analysis. Water Resources Water resources include groundwater, surface water, wetlands, and floodplains. Water resources in the vicinity of the Proposed Action, based on data from the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), are shown on Figure 3.1 in Appendix A. Affected Environment The USGS, NDWR, and NDCNR have divided the state of Nevada into 232 hydrographic basins within 14 major hydrographic regions (NDWR 2020). The Proposed Action lies in the White Pine hydrographic basin within the Central Region (Hydrographic Region 10). The White Pine basin is a total of 46,783 square miles and is further divided into 15 subbasins. The Proposed Action is located in the Steptoe Valley sub-basin, which has a total drainage area of 1,942 square miles. Groundwater Resources Steptoe Valley is located within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. This name refers to the region covering much of the western United States and northwestern Mexico and refers to the landscape of alternating valleys and mountains. Within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province, groundwater occurs in basin-fill deposits and the rock that underlies these deposits (BLM 2008b). The basin fill deposits in this area consist of unconsolidated sediments that are produced by the erosion of the surrounding mountains and hills. The sediments are transported by streams and creeks and deposited onto the valley floor. The groundwater within Steptoe Valley is stored primarily within these basin-fill
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
17
deposits. The fractured-rock aquifer in the carbonate rock beneath the basin-fill deposits does not directly yield groundwater to local wells (BLM 2008b). There is uncertainty regarding groundwater recharge in Steptoe Valley. It is believed the only known source is through precipitation; however, there have been suggestions that groundwater could flow into Steptoe Valley from neighboring Butte Valley (BLM 2008b). In response to concerns about water availability and limited hydrogeological information, a water-resources study was initiated in December 2004 and conducted by the USGS, Desert Research Institute, and State of Utah. The study area included 13 hydrographic areas that cover most of White Pine County including Steptoe Valley. In this study, groundwater recharge, discharge, and storage were estimated for the study area. Steptoe Valley was found to have the highest annual recharge (about 154,000 acre-feet) and one of the highest annual discharge (about 101,000 acre-feet). Groundwater storage in Steptoe Valley was determined to be approximately 224,000 acre-feet (USGS 2007). The USGS monitors groundwater levels continuously in 27 wells and annually in 1,081 wells across Nevada (USGS 2013). Daily average depth to water level data is available from USGS well 393310114475001 located approximately 15 miles north of the Proposed Action at latitude 39.5528 and longitude 114.7972 (USGS 2020a). The land surface altitude of the well is reported as 6,038 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and has a well and hole depth of 122 feet. Daily average depth to water levels were estimated based on a 37-year Period of Record from August 10, 1983, to March 3, 2020. Monthly average depths range from 8 feet below surface elevation to 10 feet below surface elevation. The shallowest depth recorded during the Period of Record was 6 feet and the deepest depth recorded was 13.7 feet below surface elevation. The 37-year record indicates stable groundwater elevations with approximately 2 feet of seasonal fluctuations each year. Groundwater and surface water in White Pine County have been fully appropriated. The overall trend in Nevada is the development of groundwater to serve municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. With the high growth in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, the Southern Nevada Authority has filed groundwater applications for between 125,000 and 200,000 acre-feet from White Pine County and two other counties. In addition, White Pine County and other private parties are proposing development projects in White Pine County to serve growing municipalities. In White Pine County, the available groundwater is fully committed to existing water uses (BLM 2007). The Steptoe Valley Basin primarily provides water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, and milling and mining purposes (Nevada Division of Water Resources [NDWR] undated). The perennial stream, Duck Creek, is extremely shallow, which prevents navigation from being a major use. White Pine County serves as a critical recharge area for regional flow systems (USGS 2017). The Nevada Division of Natural Resources (NDNR) estimates a perennial yield for Steptoe Valley of 70,000 acre-feet based on net annual recharge projections. For the Steptoe Valley, the NDNR has current reported commitments of 167,732 acre-feet; 25,317 acre-feet; and 29,506 acre-feet in active annual duty for groundwater and other groundwater categories, and for pending annual duty groundwater, respectively. The largest share of groundwater commitments is for mining and milling, followed by irrigation, industrial, and municipal uses (NDWR undated). Surface Water Resources Surface water features in the Steptoe Valley basin include various streams, creeks and lakes: Comins Lake, Bassett Lake, and Goshute Lake. Duck Creek Reservoir is a small impoundment on Duck Creek at elevation 6,680 feet as shown on Figure 3.1 in Appendix A. Many of the streams originate in the surrounding
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
18
mountains and flow to the valley floor; however, the majority of the streams only reach the valley floor during times of heavy runoff generated from large storms. Only two streams flow perennially and reach the valley floor – Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Steptoe Creek is located to the south of the proposed Project, originates in the Duck Creek Range, and is spring fed. The Creek flows northward and typically terminates north of the Ely airport. However, during very wet seasons it has been known to reach Bassett Lake and in very wet periods flow into Duck Creek (BLM 2008b). Duck Creek is the principal stream near the proposed Project site and originates east of the Duck Creek Range in Duck Creek Valley. Tributaries contributing to Duck Creek flow in from the east and include Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, East Creek, and North Creek. The tributaries originate in the upper elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range, within the Humboldt National Forest. Duck Creek flows north through Gallagher Gap and divides into several small channels before typically infiltrating into a large alluvial fan north of the Town of McGill. During periods of very high flows, Duck Creek has reached Bassett Lake, about 5 miles northwest of McGill. Duck Creek reappears as outflow from Basset Lake and continues north. Approximately 47 miles to the north of the headwaters, it spills into Goshute Lake, a normally dry lakebed which sits on the border of White Pine and Elko counties (NDCNR 1967). Both Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek are considered “losing” creeks and continually lose water through infiltration as they flow across the valley floor. Flow data for Steptoe Creek are available from a USGS gage (Station No. 10244950) (USGS 2020b). The drainage area of the Steptoe Creek gage is reported as 11.1 square miles, so it represents the upper watershed of the 108-square-mile drainage. Daily average inflows were estimated from the USGS gage based on a 54year Period of Record of June 1, 1966, to March 12, 2020. Monthly average flows in Steptoe Creek range from 3 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 14 cfs. The highest flow recorded during the Period of Record was 73 cfs and the lowest flow was 2 cfs (USGS 2020b). High flows are typically experienced in spring thaw. WPW conducted a delineation of aquatic resources in the vicinity of the Proposed Action in June-July 2021. Aquatic resources within the Proposed Action area include one perennial channel (Duck Creek) and 17 ephemeral channels. Duck Creek flows over the existing access road near the proposed staging area. Two ephemeral channels flow from west to east on the east side of the Duck Creek Mountain Range. These two ephemeral channels cross the existing road at two points. On the western side of the Duck Creek Mountain Range on the valley floor there are 15 ephemeral channels flowing east to west through the Proposed Action area that cross various points on the existing access roads. There are no aquatic resources within the proposed areas for any of the borings, test pits, or the staging area. Environmental Effects Proposed Action The Proposed Action would not use groundwater and effects on groundwater resources are expected to be negligible. The Proposed Action would use municipal and surface water for activities including drilling, deviation control, packer testing, hydraulic fracture testing, down hole imaging, and borehole abandonment as well as dust control. The Proposed Action would use about 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water per day per drill, Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
19
approximately 850,000 gallons total for all three boreholes. Water for borings B-1 and B-2 would be obtained from a municipal hydrant in Ely and transported by water truck to the site of the Proposed Action. Water for boring B-3, approximately 400,000 gallons, would be obtained from Duck Creek Reservoir and transported by water truck to the site. Duck Creek Reservoir is shown on Figure 3.1. To protect the reservoir and its resources, the Drilling Contractor would use a suction hose with screen on the end for water withdrawals to prevent fish or aquatic species from being inadvertently entrained into the pump. The Drilling Contractor would not refuel the water pump near the reservoir. With these BMPs, no adverse impacts to Duck Creek Reservoir are anticipated. The Proposed Action would increase traffic on the existing road that crosses Duck Creek, which may cause permanent and/or temporary impacts in the form of sedimentation, erosion, and adverse effects on water quality in Duck Creek as well as similar downstream effects. Impacts would be minimized by use of construction mats (see Section 2.2.6). Ephemeral channel crossings would likely be dry during the proposed activities. There is potential for ephemeral channel erosion during dry periods due to increased traffic; however, these effects would likely be temporary and restricted to only the portion of the existing access road crossing the ephemeral channel. The impact to water resources from the Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, may add effects such as soil disturbance, compaction, and increased erosion. However, stipulations and conditions of approval, coupled with compliance with state and federal regulations would help to minimize the level of these incremental impacts. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect water resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. Vegetation Affected Environment Vegetation types and habitats in the area of the Proposed Action are shown in Figure 3.2. The habitats and labels described below are derived from Landfire habitat descriptions (U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of the Interior 2020). These descriptions have been modified based on site-specific conditions as observed during studies conducted throughout the Proposed Action area in 2020 and 2021. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Riparian System This habitat occurs at the east end of the Proposed Action area. This habitat is dominated by narrow leaf willow (Salix exigua) and Booth’s willow (Salix boothii) in the tree community, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a moderately closed canopy. In the riparian corridor the shrub community is relatively undeveloped with sparsely scattered occurrences of Wood’s rose (Rosa woodsii) and golden current (Ribes aureum). Rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) and big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) occur above the banks of this habitat. An herbaceous community is present along Duck Creek containing rush species (Juncus spp.), sedge species (Carex spp.), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat occurs along access roads to the Proposed Action and at B-2. This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with minimal bare

20
ground. Open canopy forms have a high cover of shrub species with bare ground making up the remainder of the habitat. This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. A shrub community is present with low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), , broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), musk phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides), plains pricklypear (Opuntia polyacantha) and a mix of perennial grasses such as threeawn (Aristida sp.) and indian rice grass (Achnatherum hymenoides). The herbaceous community consists of scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), sagebrush bluebells (Mertensia oblongifolia), slim larkspur (Delphinium depauperatum), and other herb species. Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral This habitat occurs along the access road to B-3. This habitat is dominated by antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of perennial grasses, matted wild buckwheat, and broom snakeweed. Scattered trees of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at minimal cover. The herb community has minimal cover, with bare ground comprising approximately twothirds of the habitat. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland described below but has low cover of sagebrush species (Artemisia spp.). Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat occurs along access roads, the staging area, and TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4. This habitat is dominated by little sagebrush and/or black sagebrush in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of broom matchweed, rubber rabbitbrush, green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated Utah juniper trees may occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb community has some cover of cheatgrass but is fairly undeveloped overall. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of antelope bitterbrush. This habitat occurs throughout the study area. This habitat has a juniper savannah form that occurs in the western portion of the Proposed Action area along access roads, and differs from the standard form in having a relatively higher amount of Utah juniper and perennial grass species, but not at levels to define it as a woodland habitat. There is also a disturbed form with high cover of either bare ground or non-native species such as cheatgrass. Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat occurs along the existing access roads and at TPL-1, TPU-1, B-1, and B-3. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that perennial grass species range from subdominant to codominant with sagebrush species. The tree community is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata) at lower elevations and lava aster (Ionactis alpina) at higher elevations are randomly present. Other grass species occur less frequently such as Sandberg’s blue grass (Poa secunda) and cheatgrass, as well as other herbs such as Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat. Inter-Mountain Basins Curl-leaf Mountain Mahogany Woodland This habitat occurs along the access road to B-3. This habitat is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree community. Sagebrush is present in this habitat, but at much lower cover than the other sagebrush habitats, and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub community include snowberry (Symphoricarpos sp.), broom matchweed, and perennial grasses. The herb

community either has minimal cover or moderate cover of cheatgrass, stemless mock goldenweed (Stenotus acaulis var. acaulis), Ibapah springparsley (Cymopterus ibapensis), and other species noted in the habitat listed above except for the riparian woodland. Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat occurs along the existing access road to TPL-4. This habitat is dominated by cheatgrass with occurrences of pinnate tansymustard (Descurainia sophia), saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella). Special Status Plants According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the Endangered Species Act is known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species were found to have occurrence information from the Nevada Natural Heritage Program for White Pine County (Nevada Natural Heritage Program 2020). However, none of these three species are expected to occur in the Proposed Action area because of a lack of required soils, required habitat, or confirmed records in White Pine County. The eight BLM sensitive species that have the potential to occur in the Proposed Action area are listed in Table 3.3 in Appendix B. WPW conducted botanical resource surveys following the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). In 2021, surveyors targeted the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified in Table 3.3 of Appendix B and determined that none of them occur within the area of the Proposed Action. Noxious Weeds Noxious and invasive weed species are a threat to native species throughout White Pine County (White Pine County 2018). A total of 47 taxa designated as noxious weeds (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2019) have been recorded in White Pine County, Nevada. Three of these species, whitetop (Lepidium draba), nodding plumeless thistle (Carduus nutans), and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) are known to occur in the Proposed Action area, or within 1,000 feet of the Proposed Action area. BLM completed a Risk Assessment for noxious and invasive weeds in June 2021 (Appendix C). The three species mentioned above are also considered noxious weeds in the Risk Assessment. Environmental Effects Proposed Action During initial site preparation, vegetation located within the drilling pads and test pit areas would be removed, if necessary, and stored within the workspace until reclamation after work is complete. As described in Section 2.2.7, reclamation work would include stockpiling any topsoil temporarily disturbed by the proposed activities and re-spreading after completion. Because the stockpiling would not exist for an extended timeframe, and because the Proposed Action would occur between September and February, undesirable vegetative growth on soil piles is not anticipated. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of clearing the site would be spread evenly within the cleared area and dispersed on site. Special Status Plants Because the eight BLM sensitive plant species identified with potential to occur in the area of the Proposed Action were not found during surveys between April and July 2021, impacts to special status plants are not
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
22
expected to occur. If impacts to BLM sensitive plant species do occur, mitigation measures such as harvesting and replanting, seed collection and dispersal, habitat enhancement of non-impacted populations, or other appropriate measures would be instituted following consultation with BLM. Noxious Weeds The potential for spread of noxious weeds is evaluated in the Risk Assessment in Appendix C. WPW and its contractor would have an approved noxious weed management plan in place prior to initiating Proposed Action activities. The noxious weed management plan would include best management practices as described in Section 2.2.6, including pressure washing equipment prior to its arrival on site to remove debris, dirt, and vegetation. With these measures in place, the Proposed Action would not likely contribute to the spread of invasive non-native species. The Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, would not be anticipated to result in impacts to vegetation based on the absence of special status plant species in the area and WPW’s proposed reclamation measures and Weed Management Plan. In addition, stipulations and conditions of approval coupled with compliance with state and federal regulations would help to minimize incremental impacts. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect vegetation. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. Fish and Wildlife Affected Environment Duck Creek Aquatic Wildlife The highest abundance and diversity of aquatic wildlife in the Proposed Action area is found primarily in Duck Creek. There may be some aquatic invertebrates present in ephemeral streams during and after rain events, but diversity and abundance of these aquatic invertebrate communities are likely small compared to the aquatic invertebrate assemblage in Duck Creek. Some native, non-gamefish species that may be present in Duck Creek include species from the sucker (Catostomidae), minnow (Cyprinidae), and killifish (Fundulidae) families. Some non-native, game fish species that may be present in Duck Creek include northern pike (Esox lucius), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) (BLM 2007). Terrestrial Wildlife The Proposed Action area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) distributions exist within portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figure 3.3 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping, B-2, B-3, and the existing roads that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 are located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. This portion of the Proposed Action area is also in NDOW modeled distribution for mule deer (NDOW 2019b).
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
23
Occupied elk (Cervus elaphus) distributions exist in portions of the Proposed Action area as shown in Figure 3.4 in Appendix A. According to the 2008 Ely RMP mapping, B-3 and the existing access road that would be used to access B-3 are located in the crucial summer range for the Duck Creek Basin elk herd. Other portions of the Proposed Action area, including B-1, B-2 and all test pits except for TPL-4, and access roads to these locations, are located in year-round habitat for elk. This portion of the Proposed action area is also in NDOW modeled distribution for elk (NDOW 2019b). Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) modeled habitat does occur in the 2008 Ely RMP, but the Proposed Action area is outside of pronghorn crucial winter habitat. The Proposed Action area is also outside of NDOW modeled habitat for pronghorn (NDOW 2019b). Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus), mountain lion (Puma concolor), coyote (Canis latrans), and gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Nevada-designated furbearing and game mammal species with potential to occur in the Proposed Action area are also included in Table 3.4 in Appendix B. Numerous bird species inhabit the Proposed Action area, including but not limited to Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperi), dusky grouse (Dendragapus obscurus), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni),golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), American kestrel (Falco sparverius), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus), juniper titmouse (Baeolophus ridgwayi), sage thrasher (Oreoscoptes montanus), vesper sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus), and several other species of passerine songbirds. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Aquatic Wildlife Aquatic wildlife may be adversely affected by vehicular traffic at the existing Duck Creek access road crossing. Increased vehicular traffic in Duck Creek may (1) cause adverse effects on water quality and an increase in erosion and sedimentation which may reduce habitat value, (2) cause direct injury and mortality, and (3) temporarily impede and/or displace aquatic wildlife movement in Duck Creek. Impacts would be minimized by use of construction mats (see Section 2.2.6). Aquatic invertebrates are unlikely to be present in ephemeral channels or TPU-1 because the hydroperiod is likely too short to support aquatic invertebrates. Grading in the ephemeral channel where TPU-1 is proposed as well as the increased traffic on existing roads that cross ephemeral channels would not affect fish as fish are not present. Terrestrial Wildlife Under the Proposed Action, big game species (mule deer, pronghorn, and elk) may be temporarily disturbed or injured by drilling activities and increased traffic due to human presence and noise as well as temporary loss of habitat. B-3 and TPU-1 are located within elk Crucial Winter habitat. B-1, B-2, TPL-1, TPL-2, and TPL-3 are located within elk Year-round habitat. B-2, B-3, and TPU-1 are located within mule deer Crucial Winter habitat. Impacts from boring and activities associated with the construction of work areas could include temporary displacement of big game from forage and cover habitat in the vicinity of the construction activity. Noise, human activity, vibrations, and night lighting could deter big game from the area that might otherwise use the habitat for forage or cover. Vehicles traveling to and from the worksite could discourage herds from
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
24
foraging or sheltering in the vicinity of roads. Increased vehicular traffic can also cause an increased risk of vehicle collisions with big game species while workers are traveling to and from work areas. The vicinity of the project is relatively undeveloped and is surrounded by suitable big game habitat. Mule deer and elk in Crucial Winter habitat that are temporarily displaced by study activities would likely move relatively short distances to nearby suitable habitat for forage or cover. Similarly, temporarily displaced elk in the vicinity of B-1, B-2, and TPL-1, TPL-2, and TPL-3 (year-round habitat) would likely move short distances to suitable habitat in the surrounding area. After the delivery of equipment, vehicular traffic to and from the work areas would likely be limited to pick-up trucks transporting personnel and maintenance vehicles. Travel would occur on previously constructed roads that likely already experience some level of local traffic. The addition of commuting pick-ups and maintenance vehicles would not significantly add to impacts on big game. Crews would obey posted speed limits. Where no speed limits are posted, crews would follow speed limits as required by BLM, thereby reducing the risk of vehicle collisions with big game species. Individuals of other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced, injured, or killed during construction due to human presence, ground disturbance, increased traffic, temporary loss of habitat and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that temporarily displaced individuals would return after the project is complete. Wildlife species that commonly inhabit in the vicinity of the Proposed Action that have the potential to be injured or killed by increased traffic include small mammals such as pocket mice, voles, squirrels, and chipmunks, and reptiles such as gopher snakes, garter snakes, rattle snakes, horned lizards, and fence lizards. The impact to fish and wildlife from the Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, may add effects such as temporary displacement, injury, or death of individuals. However, stipulations and conditions of approval, coupled with compliance with state and federal regulations, would help to minimize the level of these incremental impacts. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect fish and wildlife or their habitats. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. Special Status Species, including Migratory Birds Special status wildlife is described in this section. Please see Section 3.3.4 for discussion of special status plant species. Affected Environment Manual 6840, Special Status Species Management, states special status species are those that are listed or proposed for listing under the ESA, species requiring special management consideration to promote their conservation and reduce the likelihood and need for future listing, and any federal candidate, proposed, and delisted species in the 5 years following delisting (BLM 2008). Nevada’s BLM special status species list was last updated in 2017. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, or sell a migratory bird. WPW conducted field surveys of the area of the Proposed Action between September 2020 and July 2021. Table 3.4 in Appendix B lists a subset of the special status wildlife species known to occur in White Pine Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA

County, Nevada that are either known to occur in the Proposed Action area or have potential to occur in the Proposed Action area. Species in Table 3.4 in Appendix B are listed as having potential to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with field studies. A species is labeled as known to occur if it was directly observed in the vicinity of the Proposed Action area during studies conducted between September 2020 and July 2021 or if the species is modeled to occur based on BLM and/or NDOW data. It is noted that the absence of observation of a species during these surveys does not mean absence of a species in the vicinity of the Proposed Action. Habitat for migratory birds is located throughout the area for the Proposed Action. Nevada-designated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the area are also included in Table 3.4 in Appendix B. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District (BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Responses to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (NDOW 2019b; NDOW 2021a). Habitat data for each species were compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Aquatic Wildlife Springsnails (Pyrgulopsis spp.) may be present in or near McGill Spring and its potential wetlands, which are near the Proposed Action area. However, McGill Spring and associated potential wetlands are not part of the Proposed Action area and therefore springsnails to be would not be affected. Relict dace (Relictus solitarius) and northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens) may be present in Duck Creek; however, the habitat value is low due to the presence of other non-native fish and a relative paucity of rooted aquatic vegetation, which the dace require to escape predation and the leopard frogs require to anchor their eggs. Greater Sage-Grouse The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sagegrouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the USGS for the BLM in the 2015 and 2019 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In the ARMPA, the management categories are defined as follows:
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
26
PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sagegrouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors. The existing BLM access road that would be used to access B-2 and B-3 is in PHMA habitat. A rubber-tracked skid steer would be used to maintain the road by removing sharp rocks within the existing footprint of the road, and trees along the access road may be trimmed or removed for safe passage for water trucks, as described in Section 2.2.3. No surface disturbance is proposed in PHMA. GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA. The three drilling work areas and five test pit work areas would be located within GHMA. OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having low to moderate suitability for greater sagegrouse in areas of estimated low space use and are less frequently used by greater sage-grouse (SEP 2019). A portion of the access road to B-2 is in OHMA. Considerable efforts and engineering re-design for the location of boreholes, test pits, and use of existing access roads have occurred to move surface disturbing activities outside of PHMA, and to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, impacts to greater sage-grouse and greater sage-grouse habitat as a result of the Proposed Action. The Proposed Action area is also located in breeding, nesting, early brood-rearing, late brood-rearing, and winter habitats according to seasonal habitat mapping by Coates et al. (2016). B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4, and all existing access roads are located in mapped nesting and breeding habitat. All borehole locations, all test pit locations, and all existing access roads are located in mapped early and late broodrearing habitat. B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4, the existing access roads for B-1 and the test pit locations, portions of the existing access road to B-2, and a portion of the existing access road to B-3 are located in mapped winter habitat. Three known greater sage-grouse leks are located within 3.1 miles of the Proposed Action: the Berry Creek turnoff lek, Canyon Springs NE lek, and Gilford Meadow lek. WPW conducted lek counts between March 29 and April 28, 2021, and male sage-grouse were observed strutting at Canyon Springs NE and Gilford Meadow leks. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadow lek were last surveyed in 2019 and were active. NDOW conducted lek counts at Berry Creek lek in 2021 and determined the lek to be active. Table 3.6 in Appendix B describes the proximity of the facilities of the Proposed Action to greater sage-grouse leks. Per NDOW recommendations, noise measurements were collected at the Canyon Springs NE, Gilford Meadow, and Berry Creek Turnoff leks from May 4 to 14, 2021 according to Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sagegrouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020). According to the ARMPA, as a result of the Proposed Action noise levels must not exceed more than 10 dB above background ambient noise levels at greater sagegrouse leks between March 1 and June 30.

Noise data collected during the measurement period was processed according to the methodology listed above. Although data were captured from May 4 through 18, only data through May 15 was included in the processing. Noise floor corrections were calculated and applied to the hourly dBA metrics at each location. Summary metrics were calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of noise-floor-corrected hourly values within the specified time periods across the entire measurement period, with the exception of the summary Lmax and Lmin, which are the maximum Lmax and minimum Lmin for each period. Summary sound level metrics for each location are presented in Table 3.7 below. Table 3.7: Summary Sound Level Metrics (dBA), May 2021 Measurement Location

Noise modeling for noise levels as a result of the Proposed Action is being conducted in accordance with Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications. Results would be provided to NDOW and the BLM prior to the receipt of the notice to proceed. It is anticipated that activities of the Proposed Action would be complete prior to March 1 to avoid the seasonal noise restriction of March 1 to June 30. Figure 3.5 in Appendix A illustrates the facilities for the Proposed Action within PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA. Figures 3.6 through 3.8 in Appendix A illustrate the facilities for the Proposed Action within nesting, breeding, early and late brood-rearing, and winter seasonal habitats. Environmental Effects Proposed Action The Proposed Action may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and the special status species that could occur in the project area as listed in Table 3.6 in Appendix B. Special-status wildlife species which occur along Duck Creek, such as Great Basin willow flycatcher, American beaver, and American water shrew, may be impacted by increased vehicular traffic through Duck Creek associated with the Proposed Action. This increased traffic has the potential to cause adverse effects to special-status wildlife along Duck Creek through temporary displacement, increased erosion and sedimentation, and an increased risk of direct injury or mortality from vehicle collisions. Individuals of other species with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the Proposed Action may be temporarily displaced, injured, or killed during construction due to human presence, ground disturbance, increased traffic, temporary loss of habitat, and noise during drilling activities. It is anticipated that temporarily displaced individuals would return after the project is complete. Impacts to breeding birds are not anticipated because the Proposed Action would not occur during breeding bird season (March 1 and July 31); however, WPW would protect breeding birds with a nest clearance survey prior to construction if the Proposed Action were to occur between March 1 and July 31. If a nest is found during a clearance survey, an appropriate buffer would be implemented based on requirements in the Ely RMP and disturbance would not be allowed inside the buffer.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
29
Aquatic Wildlife Increased vehicular traffic in Duck Creek may (1) cause adverse effects on water quality and an increase in erosion and sedimentation which may reduce relict dace and northern leopard frog habitat value, (2) cause direct injury and mortality, and (3) temporarily impede and/or displace relict dace and/or northern leopard frogs in Duck Creek. Impacts would be minimized by use of construction mats (see Section 2.2.6). Greater Sage-Grouse Under the Proposed Action, greater-sage grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to human presence and noise during drilling activities and an increase of vehicle travel on access roads. It is anticipated that the short duration of the Proposed Action would cause minimal to no impacts to greater sage-grouse. Drilling under the Proposed Action is scheduled to begin in mid-September 2021 and continue through the third week in January, with all activities completed by mid-February 2022. This is outside of seasonal restrictions for lekking, nesting, and early and late season brood-rearing and inside seasonal restrictions for wintering, which are from November 1 to February 28. It is not anticipated that noise as a result of drilling activities would disturb sage-grouse activity. Disturbed work areas would be reclaimed, and BMPs incorporated into the Proposed Action would minimize impacts to greater sage-grouse. The existing road that would be used to access boring B-3 is in PHMA habitat; however, this road would be maintained within the existing footprint of the road and would not be widened or graded, see discussion of access road maintenance in Section 2.2.3. Greater sage-grouse in the vicinity of the existing access road may be temporarily displaced or disturbed by noise from vehicle use of the access road. The Proposed Action would result in temporary disturbance to greater sage-grouse associated with noise and increased human presence at three drilling work areas, and five test pit work areas all of which are in GHMA, as shown in Table 2-1. No ground disturbance is proposed within OHMA or PHMA. Noise disturbance to greater sage-grouse in OHMA and PHMA may occur due to traffic and traffic related noise on existing roads. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Mitigation Regulation 232.400-232.480, direct and indirect impacts to sage-grouse habitat as a result of the proposed drilling activities were analyzed using the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The proposed surface disturbances for drilling activities were submitted in a desktop debit analysis to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT). The resulting analysis concluded that the debit obligation for the Proposed Action would result in 8 debits. Prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed, the project proponent must offset the credit obligation in its entirety, complete an authorized Phased Purchase Agreement, or develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT. If a mitigation plan is developed, it must be approved by the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council. If the entire credit obligation is not mitigated for up front, at least 1/3 of the total required compensatory mitigation must be offset prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed. Any balance of a credit obligation (including a five percent phasing factor applied to a balance) would be required to be offset within 10 years. Prior to the beginning of construction of the Proposed Action, WPW would offset the direct impacts from surface disturbing activities as a result of the Proposed Action through mitigation through the CCS. WPW would obtain 8 credits through a credit developer, plus one additional credit to meet the applicable proximity factor requirements, resulting in 9 credits total.

The impact to special status species from the Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, may add effects such as temporary displacement, injury, or death of individuals due to human presence, ground disturbance, increased traffic, temporary loss of habitat and noise. However, stipulations and conditions of approval, coupled with compliance with state and federal regulations, would help to minimize the level of these incremental impacts. No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, special status species would not be disturbed, and the area would provide the same quality of habitat for all wildlife. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice The area of analysis for Socioeconomics and Environmental Justice is White Pine County. Affected Environment The Proposed Action is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in White Pine County and the county seat. The Proposed Action is about 2.4 miles south of the town of McGill. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008c). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service, support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase the ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirement homes (White Pine County 2012). Population White Pine County has an estimated population of 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile. Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the county’s population (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). The Census Bureau estimates a small decrease in population residing in White Pine County in 2018 with a count of 9,475 (USCB 2019). The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages (USCB 2019). Race and Ethnicity The population in White Pine County, Nevada, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (USCB 2010). Income and Poverty Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
31
From 2014-2018, the median household income for White Pine County was $62,993 which is higher than the statewide median household income of $57,598 for the same time period. The per capita income in 2018 was 26,412 while 13.3 percent of persons were in poverty in White Pine County (USCB 2019). Employment and Unemployment The unemployment rate for White Pine County in August 2019 was 3.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a) and a national unemployment rate of 3.6 percent in October 2019 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019b). From the annual average in 2016 of 4.6 percent unemployment to the latest August 2019 average, employment in White Pine County grew 1.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019a). The most common job groups in White Pine County are Management (13.8 percent), Office and Administrative Support (12.9 percent), and Construction and Extraction (10.3 percent). The most common employment sectors are Public Administration (18.3 percent), Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (15.2 percent), and Accommodation and Food Services (9.56 percent) (DataUSA 2019). Two industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The State Prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Additionally, Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Socioeconomics Because the Proposed Action is a temporary geotechnical study, it would not result in permanent impacts to population or the demographic characteristics of the area. Construction would provide a short-term increase in employment for approximately 5 months. Temporary employment would be unlikely to have a significant impact on local economic conditions. Construction would likely result in short-term induced economic effects, which are changes to the local economy from purchasing materials to supply the project. Workers may increase demand for temporary housing in community centers in the region, but this effect would last only for the duration of the approximately 5-month study period. The Proposed Action would result in positive economic impacts to White Pine County. The Applicant, WPW, estimates the cost of the geotechnical study to be approximately $10 million. Environmental Justice The impacts on human health or the environment of the local populations, including impacts that would be disproportionately high and adverse for minority and low-income populations, have been evaluated. Items considered in the evaluation of environmental justice include human health or environmental hazards, the natural physical environment, and associated social, economic, and cultural factors. According to the CEQ environmental justice guidance under NEPA (CEQ, 1997) and Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (EPA, 2016), minorities are those groups that include American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic. Minority
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
32
populations are defined where either; (a) the minority population of the affected area exceeds 50 percent or, (b) the minority population of the affected area is meaningfully greater (10 percent greater) than the minority population percentage in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis. The CEQ guidance further recommends that low-income populations in an affected area should be identified using data on income and poverty from the U.S. Census Bureau and considered in the analyses. Low-income populations are populations where households have an annual household income below the poverty threshold. As described above, the minority population of White Pine County is lower than 50 percent and lower than the minority population in the State of Nevada. Low-income populations are also lower in White Pine County than in the State of Nevada. Therefore, no environmental justice populations have been identified in the study area, and no temporary or long-term impacts to environmental justice populations would occur. The Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, may add incremental beneficial economic effects and would not affect environmental justice populations. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative also would not affect environmental justice populations. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action. In addition, the beneficial economic impacts associated with the Proposed Action would not accrue to the region. Visual Resources Affected Environment A Visual Resources Inventory was conducted for the Ely District Office in 2011. Visual Resource Inventories (VRI) provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 – Visual Resources Inventory (BLM 1986). All BLM-administered lands, both surface and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes are inventoried. The VRI consists of three primary components:
Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape
Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern for scenic quality
Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or IOPs
Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of four VRI Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources: Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. Per review of the 2011 VRI, the proposed geotechnical study is located within the following Scenic Quality Rating Units: Duck Creek Bench (Unit 037), and the Schell Creek Range (Unit 038). The Duck Creek Bench consists of rolling terrain with sage and grasses, with scattered patches of pinyon/juniper which follow drainage patterns on the land; the majority of the area is within the foreground or middleground distance zones. The Schell Creek Range is a prominent mountain range with rugged pyramidal forms and some exposed rock outcroppings, the majority of which is within the seldom-seen distance zone. The VRI
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
33
assigned the following Sensitivity Level Rating Units to the proposed geotechnical study area: Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment, Unit 011), and State Route 486 (Unit 013). The overall sensitivity rating for both units is High, as there is a general public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide, and State Route 486 (White Pine County Road 29) is considered an important scenic destination. Visual Resource Management (VRM) classes along with the corresponding VRM Objectives were established in the Ely District Office in August 2008 with the approval of the Ely Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP). VRM objectives corresponding to the various management classes provide standards for analyzing and evaluating proposed projects. Projects are evaluated using the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (BLM 1984), to determine if they meet VRM objectives established by the RMP. The proposed geotechnical study is within an area identified by inventory as VRI Class II, VRI Class III, and VRI Class IV (see Figure 3.9). For VRM Class II, the management objective is to retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low. Management activities may be seen but should not attract the attention of the casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class III, the management objective is to partially retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be moderate. Management activities may attract attention but should not dominate the view of the casual observer. Changes should repeat the basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape. For VRM Class IV, the management objective is to provide for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape can be high. Management activities may dominate the view and be the major focus of viewer attention. Environmental Effects Proposed Action Proposed activities include drilling three borings and five test pits, to be accessed using existing roads, as well as a temporary staging area. Existing roads would not be expanded, but minor maintenance, such as clearing of large rocks or grading very uneven surfaces, would be made for safety, as necessary. Existing roads are approximately 7 to 12 feet wide. Total land disturbance for the Proposed Action would be 0.80 acres. Vegetation located within the drilling pads and test pits would be removed if necessary and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of clearing the site would be spread evenly and dispersed on site after completion of the geotechnical study. Test pits and borings would occur in VRM Class II and VRM Class III areas; the only activity proposed within VRM Class IV areas is use of existing roads. Following completion of the geotechnical study activities, disturbed areas would be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. The regraded areas would then be seeded with a BLMapproved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Reclamation areas would be inspected by a field representative from the owner’s representative and by BLM as described in Section 2.2.7. Given the terrain and location of the proposed geotechnical study, the Proposed Action would be visible but would not dominate the view for the casual observer in the area. Residents in the vicinity may be able
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L0600-2021-0033-EA
34
to view the investigation activities at a middleground to distant view. Travelers along area roads may have glancing views of these activities. Based on the temporary nature of the Proposed Action, minor clearing/grading, and non-dominant views, adverse impacts on visual resources are not anticipated. Project activities within the Proposed Action area would meet management objectives of the applicable VRM Classes. The Proposed Action, when added to the reasonably foreseeable future trends, may temporarily add visible elements such as clearing or loss of vegetation to the area. However, stipulations and conditions of approval, coupled with compliance with state and federal regulations, would help to minimize the level of these incremental impacts. No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative would not affect visual resources. However, the No Action Alternative would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action.

A Class III inventory was completed for all proposed exploration areas. The historic Nevada Northern Railway and the original segment of the Lincoln Highway are within the proposed action area and there would be no adverse effect by passive use. If it became necessary to modify in any way, the resources would be further analyzed. As the geotechnical study is a temporary activity, there would be no long-lasting visual impacts to the resources. All other recorded sites are recommended not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places and would not be affected by the proposed project. “In the case of an unanticipated discovery, the proponent will ensure that activities associated with the undertaking within 100 meters of the discovery’s site boundaries are halted and the discovery is appropriately protected, until the BLM Authorized Officer issues a Notice to Proceed” (Protocol pg. 30).

long-billed curlew
Numenius americanus
High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects.

sage thrasher
Oreoscoptes montanus
Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

Mammals elk
Cervus elaphus
Elk prefer range where they can access cover, forage and water in the same vicinity. Summer range includes higher elevations where grass is available near melting snowlines and temperatures are milder. Elk typically migrate to lower elevations in winter to take advantage of grass where available and shrubs, lichen, bark and other food items when grass is no longer green. Dominant bulls protect harems of females during breeding and chase other males away.

Noxious/invasive weed species are not located within or adjacent to the project area. Project activity is not likely to result in the establishment of noxious/invasive weed species in the project area. Noxious/invasive weed species are present in the areas adjacent to but not within the project area. Project activities can be implemented and prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the project area.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L060-2021-0033-EA
83
TABLE 3 - FACTOR 1 Moderate (4-7)
Noxious/invasive weed species located immediately adjacent to or within the project area. Project activities are likely to result in some areas becoming infested with noxious/invasive weed species even when preventative management actions are followed. Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of noxious/invasive weeds within the project area. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
High (8-10)
The rating for Factor 1 is High (10): This rating was chosen due to the number of weed species and the kind of weed species in and adjacent to the project area. Many of these are easily spread by vehicle, foot traffic, on the pant legs of workers, heavy equipment, and wind. Heavy infestations of noxious/invasive weeds are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Project activities, even with preventative management actions, are likely to result in the establishment and spread of noxious/invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area.
TABLE 4 – FACTOR 2 Factor 2 assesses the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area.
Low to Nonexistent (13) Moderate (4-7) High (8-10)
None. No cumulative effects expected. Possible adverse effects on site and possible expansion of infestation within the project area. Cumulative effects on native plant communities are likely but limited. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable.
The rating for Factor 2 is High (10): This rating was chosen since there are known weed infestations in the area, and adjacent to the project area as well as on the roadsides going to the project area. Obvious adverse effects within the project area and probable expansion of noxious/invasive weed infestations to areas outside the project area. Adverse cumulative effects on native plant communities are probable. Preventive measures will need to be applied along with monitoring.
TABLE 5 - RISK RATING The Risk Rating is obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. None (0) Low (1-10)
Proceed as planned. Proceed as planned. Initiate control treatment on noxious/invasive weed populations that get established in the area.
Geotechnical Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project DOI-BLM-NV-L060-2021-0033-EA
84
Moderate (1149)
High (50-100)
Develop preventative management measures for the proposed project to reduce the risk of introduction of spread of noxious/invasive weeds into the area. Preventative management measures should include modifying the project to include seeding the area to occupy disturbed sites with desirable species. Monitor the area for at least 3 consecutive years and provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations. Project must be modified to reduce risk level through preventative management measures, including seeding with desirable species to occupy disturbed site and controlling existing infestations of noxious/invasive weeds prior to project activity. Project must provide at least 5 consecutive years of monitoring. Projects must also provide for control of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds and follow-up treatment for previously treated infestations.
The Risk Rating is Moderate (20). This indicates that the project can proceed as planned if the following measures are followed:
Continue to use integrated weed management to treat weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious/invasive weeds will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator.
Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the project.
Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the completion, maintenance, inspection, or monitoring of ground disturbing activities; for emergency fire suppression; or for authorized offroad driving will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering or leaving the work site or project area. Vehicles used for emergency fire suppression will be cleaned as a part of check-in and demobilization procedures. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, feet and tires, and on the undercarriage. Special emphasis will be applied to axels, frames, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, and front bumper/brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.

Introduction
This Weed Management Plan (Plan) provides the principles and procedures for preventing the introduction and spread of state-listed noxious weeds and other invasive species of concern associated with the Geotechnical Study (Proposed Action) on U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. The geotechnical study in White Pine County, Nevada would consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL4). White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), an affiliated company of rPlus Hydro, would use existing roads to access the borings and test pits, as well as an existing temporary staging area. Invasive weeds are weeds that establish, persist, and spread widely in natural ecosystems outside the plant’s native range. These weeds often lack natural controls to curtail their growth, enabling them to overrun native plants and ecosystems. Many invasive weeds are also classified as noxious weeds by government authorities. A noxious weed is any plant designated by federal, state, or local government officials as injurious to public health, agriculture, recreation, wildlife, or property. Once a weed is classified as noxious, authorities can implement quarantines and take other actions to contain or destroy the weed and limit its spread. Under the authority of Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 555 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 555 and subsequent sections, the Nevada State Quarantine Officer declares and maintains a list of weeds and which are noxious to the State and “advises that the control of noxious weeds is the responsibility of every landowner or occupant” (Nevada Department of Agriculture, 2021). Invasive and noxious weeds are typically found in areas where the ground or soil has been disturbed and are commonly found along transportation corridors (for example, roads, highways, rail lines); along utility corridors (for example, transmission lines and pipelines); in residential, commercial, and industrial areas; around agricultural land; and in other developed, disturbed, or human-influenced areas. WPW will have the overall responsibility of ensuring satisfactory implementation and compliance with this plan specific to BLM land, while the contractor(s) will be responsible for implementing this plan during the Proposed Action. WPW and its contractor(s) will work in coordination with the respective BLM Authorized Officer(s) to ensure that state-listed noxious weeds and other invasive plant species of concern are identified and controlled to the extent practicable, and that all federal, State of Nevada, and White Pine County regulations pertaining to noxious weeds and invasive plant species are satisfied. This plan includes a discussion of (1) the regulatory framework; (2) the noxious weed and invasive plant inventory; (3) noxious weed and invasive plant management, including prevention and treatment; and (4) monitoring.

Noxious Weed and Invasive Plant List
Between April and July 2021, HDR Engineering, on behalf of WPW, conducted field surveys consisting of field reconnaissance, vegetation mapping, and BLM protocol special status plant surveys. The land cover types present in the footprint of the Geotechnical Study area include areas with a high cover of invasive or noxious species: •
The Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Riparian System vegetation community consists of areas dominated by native riparian woody species in closed canopy areas, and nonnative herbaceous species in open canopy areas. These non-native species include common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare) along with isolated individuals of Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) and nodding plumeless thistle (Carduus nutans). Both Canada thistle and nodding plumeless thistle are designated noxious weeds by the Nevada Department of Agriculture and the BLM. Bull thistle is considered area invasive, not noxious, species by the BLM
•
The Invasive Annual Grassland vegetation community includes areas dominated by an introduced annual grass species, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), along with other nonnative annual species such as pinnate tansy mustard (Descurainia sophia), crossflower (Chorispora tenella), and saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus). None of these species are designated as noxious by the Nevada Department of Agriculture or the BLM, however cheatgrass and saltlover are considered area invasive species by the BLM.
A general survey of the area was completed in May 2021 and noxious infestations within or adjacent to the Proposed Action area were provided by the BLM Ely Office. A list of these species compiled with the species identified during the 2021 HDR field surveys is provided in Table 1.

Geotechnical Study | Weed Management Plan
4.0
Noxious Weed and Invasive Plant Management
The purpose of controlling uncontrolled or unwanted vegetation is to maintain or restore land health. Noxious weeds and invasive species can cause long term damage to plant communities and degrade resource values. The geotechnical study area was assessed by the BLM and assigned a risk rating based on three factors: Factor 1 - the likelihood of noxious/invasive weed species spreading to the project area; Factor 2 - the consequences of noxious/invasive weed establishment in the project area; and Factor 3 – the risk obtained by multiplying Factor 1 by Factor 2. The risks for Factors 1 and 2 were rated as High and the risk for Factor 3 was rated as Moderate. With these ratings, the study will require the following measures: •
Use of an integrated weed management to treat noxious weed infestations and use principles of integrated pest management to meet BLM management objectives and to reestablish resistant and resilient native vegetation communities.
•
Any discovery of newly established populations of noxious weeds in the project area will be communicated to the Ely District Noxious and Invasive Weeds Coordinator.
•
Prior to entering public lands, the BLM will provide information regarding noxious weed management and identification to the permit holders affiliated with the geotechnical study action area.
•
Where appropriate, vehicles and heavy equipment used for the geotechnical study will be free of soil and debris capable of transporting weed propagules. Vehicles and equipment will be cleaned with power or high-pressure equipment prior to entering the work site or Proposed Action area. Cleaning efforts will concentrate on tracks, tires, and the undercarriage including axles, frame, cross members, motor mounts, on and underneath steps, running boards, front bumper, and brush guard assemblies. Vehicle cabs will be swept out and refuse will be disposed of in waste receptacles. Cleaning site locations will be provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person. Cleaning sites will be recorded using global positioning systems or other mutually acceptable equipment and provided to the Ely District Office Weed Coordinator or designated contact person.
The goals of this Plan are to follow the measures listed above and to maintain compliance with federal, state, and local regulations as listed in Section 2.0. Existing populations of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds within the areas disturbed by the Proposed Action will be treated and monitored by the contractor(s) during the Geotechnical Study. If geotechnical study activities cause a population of an existing state-listed and BLM noxious weed to exceed the pre-disturbance extent, the contractor(s) will treat and monitor the population. The contractor(s) will also treat any new population of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds that are located within the disturbance areas associated with the Geotechnical Study.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project | Weed Management Plan
The management of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds will be considered throughout all stages of the Proposed Action, and will include the following: •
Implementing treatment methods to be applied to areas where state-listed and BLM noxious weeds are present following completion of the geotechnical study.
•
Educating personnel regarding identified problem areas, the importance of preventive measures, and treatment methods.
•
Implementing specific preventive measures to counteract the spread of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds during the Geotechnical Study and reclamation activities.
4.1 Roles and Responsibilities
WPW is responsible for the treatment and monitoring of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds that occur within the Proposed Action surface-disturbance areas on BLM lands. The WPW contractor(s) will implement this plan during the geotechnical study, including treating and monitoring state-listed and BLM noxious weeds that occur within surface-disturbance areas. WPW and the contractor(s) will not be responsible for treating and monitoring noxious weeds and invasive plants outside the Proposed Action area or existing noxious weeds and invasive plants along existing access roads. The contractor(s) will be responsible for obtaining required permits and approvals for control of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds. All herbicides proposed for use will require the contractor(s) to obtain an approved pesticide use proposal (PUP) from the BLM prior to herbicide application. During the Geotechnical Study, the contractor(s) will have or contract with appropriately trained and qualified personnel to perform weed and vegetation management (see Section 4.3, Education and Personnel Requirements). The control methods will be performed in accordance with this plan and the PUP, as well as guidelines established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, BLM, and state and local authorities.
4.2 Pre-Disturbance Flagging
Prior to the commencing the geotechnical study, areas within the Proposed Action area with populations of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds as identified in Table 1 will be flagged by the contractor(s). This flagging will alert personnel to the presence of noxious weeds.
4.3 Education and Personnel Requirements
Before mobilizing to the Proposed Action area, the contractor(s) will provide personnel with training and information regarding the importance of controlling and managing noxious weeds. This training and information will emphasize the importance of preventing the spread of noxious weeds in areas not infested and controlling the proliferation of noxious weeds already present. Personnel will also be informed of areas that have been flagged for avoidance or treatment, and they will be trained on the locations and correct use and timing of equipment wash stations. Contractors or personnel conducting noxious weed management actions will have training and experience in identifying and managing noxious weeds prior to ground disturbing activities.
6
Geotechnical Study | Weed Management Plan
Additionally, all personnel who apply herbicides will have a current commercial applicator’s license for herbicides from Nevada Department of Agriculture.
4.4 Best Management Practices
WPW has committed to the following best management practices (BMPs) for environmental protection in accordance with federal land management agency standards to address concerns associated with noxious weed and invasive plant management. The BMPs that address the Proposed Action regarding noxious weed management are listed below. 4.4.1 Pre-Disturbance BMPs Prior to ground-disturbing activities, the contractor(s) will implement the following noxious weed preventive measures: •
Disturbance limits will be clearly marked or flagged at the outer limits before any surfacedisturbing activity. All personnel will be informed that their activities will be confined within the marked or flagged areas.
•
The contractor(s) will ensure that vehicles and equipment are free of soil and debris capable of transporting noxious weed seeds, roots, or rhizomes before the vehicles and equipment access the Proposed Action area.
•
Certify that all interim and final seed mixes, hay, straw, and hay/straw products are free of plant species listed on the Nevada Department of Agriculture noxious weed list.
4.4.2 Proposed Action BMPs • Ground disturbance will be limited to only the areas necessary for Proposed Actionrelated activities. •
During the geotechnical study, minimize to the extent practicable, soil compaction. Provide surface treatments to minimize soil compaction (for example, break up compacted soils during reclamation to promote infiltration), and take actions to promote native vegetation regrowth after the geotechnical study.
•
In disturbance areas where recontouring is not required, vegetation will be left in place wherever possible, and the original contour will be maintained to avoid excessive root damage and allow resprouting.
•
Remove cleared vegetation from disturbance areas.
•
The spatial limits of the Proposed Action, including vehicle movement will be restricted to and confined within those limits.
•
Whenever possible, temporary disturbance will be avoided in areas with known noxious weed populations to reduce the risk of spread.
•
Stockpiled soil with noxious weeds and invasive species will be segregated from weedfree topsoil and clearly marked by the contractor(s) whether it contains weeds or is weed-free.
•
Straw or hay bales used for sediment barrier installations or mulch distribution are obtained from sources that are certified free of noxious weeds.
7
White Pine Pumped Storage Project | Weed Management Plan
•
Although no BLM sensitive plant species have been observed in the Proposed Action area to date, should one be found, WPW will carefully consider the impacts of noxious weed treatment on such species. Wherever possible, hand spraying of herbicides is preferred over other methods.
4.4.3 Reclamation BMPs • Immediately following the geotechnical study, disturbed land will be reclaimed. Continuing revegetation efforts should provide adequate vegetative cover, reducing the potential for the invasion of noxious weeds. •
Disturbed areas will be revegetated, where practical, and in consultation with the BLM, as applicable, when the Proposed Action is completed. The goal of reclamation will be to re-establish native groundcover on disturbed areas and to prevent soil erosion, where feasible. If weather or seasonal conditions prevent vegetation from being quickly reestablished, WPW will use measures such as mulching, erosion-control blankets, or dust-control palliatives to prevent erosion until vegetative cover is established.
•
Areas disturbed as a part of the Proposed Action will be seeded with a seed mixture appropriate for those areas. BLM will approve a seed mixture that fits each range type. Seeding methods typically will include drill seeding, where practicable; however, BLM might recommend broadcast seeding or hydroseeding as an alternative method in some cases.
•
Noxious weed control will not be conducted in 0.5 mile of nesting and brood rearing areas for special status wildlife species during the nesting and brood rearing season.
•
Weed-free vegetation removed from areas of disturbance will be re-spread to provide protection, nutrient recycling, and seed source.
•
During reclamation, topsoil and vegetative material containing noxious weeds to their original locations. As directed by BLM, the contractor(s) might be required to provide additional treatments to prevent the return of noxious weeds. The contractor(s) will remove seeds, roots, and rhizomes from the equipment with pressurized water at approved weed wash stations before transport off site.
4.4.4 Equipment, Vehicles and Wash Stations Mud and dirt on personnel, equipment, and vehicles have the potential to carry weed seeds and reproductive parts to areas that are not infested both inside and outside the geotechnical study areas. Vehicle operators will be briefed by the contractor(s) regarding the location of wash stations and requirements at the stations for cleaning vehicle exteriors and interiors and personnel clothing. •
Prior to arrival at the work site, vehicles and equipment will be cleaned using highpressure equipment.
•
When working in areas that are bladed, weed washing prior to leaving the area or when moving through the area is not required.
Based on day-to-day field conditions, the contractor(s) could coordinate with BLM to grant exceptions to use of the weed wash station for that day. Exceptions include but are not limited
8
Geotechnical Study | Weed Management Plan
to: extremely dry conditions where soil is not sticking to equipment or freezing weather conditions where wash stations may not function properly.
4.5 Control Measures
Control measures will be based on species-specific and site-specific conditions, such as the proximity to water or riparian areas, special-status species, and seasonality. If existing noxious weed populations are currently under treatment by BLM or other entities, WPW and/or the contractor(s) will coordinate efforts with the BLM and/or other government entities, as applicable, to treat the state-listed and BLM noxious weeds within the Proposed Action area. If new populations of state-listed and BLM noxious weeds are identified in the Proposed Action area, the control measures in this plan will be followed. 4.5.1 Mechanical Mechanical methods rely on cutting roots with a shovel or other hand tools or using equipment to mow or disc weed or invasive plant populations. This type of method is useful for smaller, isolated populations in areas of sensitive habitats. Some noxious weed species can spread by discing or tillage; therefore, implementation will be species-specific. If such a method is used in areas to be reclaimed, the area will subsequently be seeded to re-establish a desirable vegetative cover that will stabilize the soils and slow the potential reinvasion of noxious weeds. Discing or other mechanical treatments that will disturb the soil surface in native habitats will be avoided in favor of applying herbicides, which is an effective means of reducing the size of noxious weed populations as well as preventing new colonies from becoming established. 4.5.2 Cultural Cultural control methods rely on education about how to prevent the spread of noxious weeds. Cultural control of noxious weeds can also include minimizing vehicle travel through areas of known populations. The following measures will be followed by the contractor(s) or WPW, as applicable: •
Implement preventive measures, such as quarantine and closure, to reduce and contain existing populations. Flagging the perimeter of the infested area to alert personnel and prevent access into areas where noxious weeds are present. Disturbances will be minimized in these areas until control measures have been implemented.
•
Reclamation treatments such as seeding, will be based on site-specific conditions and the approved seed mix for those conditions. Seeding will help reduce the spread of noxious weeds by revegetating exposed soils. If areas are not seeded until the following spring because of weather or scheduling constraints, all undesirable vegetation will be treated before seeding.
4.5.3 Chemical Chemical control can effectively remove noxious weeds through the proper use of selective herbicides. Herbicide treatment can be temporarily effective for large populations of noxious weeds where other means of control are not feasible. Herbicide application, handling, spills, and cleanup will be controlled to minimize the impacts on the surrounding vegetation and will follow the regulations in the PUP. The PUP will also provide a list of agency-approved herbicides to be applied.
9
White Pine Pumped Storage Project | Weed Management Plan
4.5.4 Herbicide Application and Handling The list of herbicides to be used will be reviewed and approved by BLM, and herbicide application will be conducted in accordance with the Geotechnical Study PUP and based on information gathered from BLM. Before application, all required permits from local authorities will be obtained by the contractor(s) or WPW, as applicable. Permits might contain additional terms and conditions that go beyond the scope of this weed management plan. Reclamation Actions In areas where noxious weed control measures have been implemented and require postdisturbance reclamation actions, the following measures will be required: •
If areas are not immediately seeded after the Proposed Action is complete due to weather or scheduling constraints, all noxious weeds will be treated before seeding, preferably in the spring.
•
If discing or tilling is an appropriate and feasible treatment method, it will be implemented only in previously bladed areas.
•
Seed selection will be based on site-specific conditions, and the appropriate agencyapproved seed mix will be identified for those conditions based on the presence and treatment of noxious weeds in the Proposed Action area.
•
Additional noxious weed control measures recommended during monitoring will follow the preventive and control measures. Continued cooperation with the current BLM coordinator, as well as with the State of Nevada or local weed management agencies is encouraged.
4.5.5 Agency-Specific Requirements The State of Nevada regulate noxious weed control under various noxious weed statutes, which mandate that property owners will control noxious weeds on their land. Pest management, including noxious weed control, will be intended for prevention, eradication, rehabilitation, control, or containment efforts as required by the state statutes. Through the implementation of this plan, the Proposed Action will comply with Nevada noxious weed statutes. All weed and invasive plant control activities will be implemented in accordance with local BLM management requirements. The following measures will be implemented by the contractor(s) or WPW, as applicable: •
Herbicide use would not be authorized in areas mapped as Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Riparian System or within a 50-foot buffer of this habitat type.:
•
If previously unknown sensitive biological resources are located during weed control operations, those operations will stop, and federal land management agencies will be notified immediately.
•
Material (for example, soil or gravel) transported from off-site locations is required to be weed-free and approved by the appropriate federal land management agency. This measure may require additional permits and/or certification for the material, depending on the source.
10
Geotechnical Study | Weed Management Plan
All herbicides proposed for use for the Proposed Action will require an approved PUP prior to application. The herbicides approved for use will be reviewed and approved by BLM prior to beginning of activities, and herbicide application will include only herbicides and adjuvants approved for use on BLM-administered land. Use of chemical control for vegetation on BLMadministered land will be consistent with the guidelines in the Ely District Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2008). Once herbicide use is approved by BLM, the contractor(s) will maintain herbicide application records and herbicide use reports.
5.0
Monitoring
WPW will monitor areas of disturbance using current BLM weed treatment inventory and monitoring standards. During post-disturbance monitoring of the Proposed Action area, WPW will consult with BLM if issues arise pertaining to noxious weeds.

Pam provided a video of the EnviroVibe in action Jared stated that a field review was performed yesterday, and shared a figure of a route for the southern line that would avoid off-road travel in PHMA. He also recommended shortening the northern line to avoid off-road travel in PHMA and providing a route for vehicles to travel between north and south routes. Kamal agreed to discuss the proposed changes with the engineering team. rPlus will revise the footprint and provide that back to the BLM. Jared stated that with the proposed changes, the BLM can process the application as a CX. Pam asked about the need for cultural surveys. Jared said that the BLM would review the project need for cultural surveys and get back to HDR. He thought an archeologist walk of the area might suffice, but he will let HDR know.
Geotech Study EA • Everyone’s efforts to publish the EA last week are much appreciated. • No need to re-submit the 2920 with revised dates, the BLM will issue the approval with the dates described in the EA (September 2021 through February 2022). • Pam will set up a OneDrive site for the BLM to share scanned public comments with the HDR team. FERC Licensing Project (White Pine Pumped Hydro Project) • Nancy provided an update on the FERC licensing process • Field studies for 2021 are complete and the team is writing the reports to support the FERC license application. Scheduled to distribute a draft licensing application to BLM and other stakeholders in December 2021. • Nancy brought up Brett Burgess’s earlier email regarding Cooperating Agencies – this topic will be added to a future agenda for discussion

August 4, 2021 via email Donna Bath 570 1st Street Ely, NV 89301 Dear Donna, I’m writing to respond to a couple of the questions you raised with Luigi Resta at last week’s open house in Ely. Regarding your question about a man-camp, there are no plans or intentions for siting a man-camp on the Duck Creek side of the project. We’re not aware of any written statements suggesting that there were such plans. With regard to 7X, which I believe is the name of the company you mentioned to Luigi, we have no relationship with that firm. We will continue to work to address any concerns that you and other residents have as the site concept, associated impacts, and details on construction are developed over the coming months and years. Just as you do, we absolutely want to know what impacts, both short-term or longterm, would result from project construction, and in fact we are required to define those in order to inform the decisions of regulators and agencies. That is the work going on right now, work which will continue to ramp up. At the end of the day, this project would provide a lot of benefit to the community for many decades. I hope we can earn from you the support that you showed in the past. Feel free to contact us with any questions. I can be reached directly at (208) 246-9925 or mshapiro@rplusenergies.com. Best regards,
Matthew Shapiro, CEO White Pine Waterpower, LLC

Seismic Refraction 2920 •
A revised footprint to the Seismic Refraction lines was provided on 8/10/2021. The BLM IDT Team will review and follow up if there are questions or concerns. Kamal asked what the timeline for a categorical exclusion (CX) would be. Jared said it would be about the same as the Geotechnical EA and would plan for October.
Geotech Study EA • Comment from the SETT are saved on OneDrive folder. This is the only comment received so far. We feel section 1.4.1 should include an explanation that if the site were to be fully developed it would likely fall within PHMA and would require an amendment to the existing 2015 ARMPA, unless there is another option for addressing this concern. Concetta said this is a reasonably foreseeable future activity and should be in the EA. Section 3.3 is the Reasonably Foreseeable Future Activity section and the explanation will be added there. SF-299 for Transmission Line • Follow up regarding rPlus ‘staking claim’ to transmission line corridor. Jared said Alicia was researching the question but is currently out of the office. Matthew mentioned that the Cross-Tie Project in a recent publication said they planned to start land acquisitions in 2022. Jared mentioned that the EIS was also scheduled to go out for public comment in 2022. Meeting Notes • HDR is preparing meeting notes for calls with the BLM. HDR will set up a folder on OneDrive so the meeting notes can be available for everyone to review.

Michelle, see attached. Most of the information is there. Ward Mtn https://www.blm.gov/visit/ward-mountain-recreation-area Ward Mountain Recreation Area North and South trailheads are separately administered by the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service. A developed and newly renovated campground is located at the US Forest Service Trailhead on the South side of the Highway. Trails (20 miles are available for hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers, and horses. Warming/rest shelters are available along several of the trails. Restrooms are available at both trailheads. For more information on the Forest Service campground and trailhead, you can contact the U.S.F.S., Ely Ranger District (775 289-3031. Things to note: At the North trailhead there are 4 trail loops of various lengths: 10 miles total that meander through the sagebrush and pinyon-juniper forests of Ward Mountain. These trails are available for hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers, and horses. Warming huts/rest shelters are available along these trails. There is an interpretive hike (0.4 miles “Weeds of the Great Basin” with 12 interpretive signs placed at various intervals. Other amenities: Picnic tables, shade structures, trash cans and restrooms at trailhead. No potable water at North trailhead. Restrictions: Motorized use is prohibited on the signed trail system. Shooting is not allowed within developed recreation sites. Also there is a 18 hole disc golf course. Visitation: 1500 per year Garnet Hill
https://www.blm.gov/visit/garnet-hill Garnet Hill is the only designated rock hounding area in the Ely District, an internationally known site for gem collectors looking for garnets. Here you may find the ruby red semi-precious gems in the rocky volcanic outcrops. Garnets can be found either through careful rock breaking or searching the surface and drainages for the dark colored stones. The garnets will usually occur as single crystals attached to small cavities in the rhyolite rock, though they may weather out of the rock, and wash downhill. Bring a rock hammer or just search the ground to locate these crystals. Although most of the garnets found here are not of perfect gem quality, most people go home happy with their finds. Garnet Hill is also an excellent location to view the excavations of the massive open pit copper mines near Ruth, Nevada. Things to note: There are four picnic sites with grills and a handicap accessible restroom available. A group barbeque area is also available. There are two informal areas for tents or small campers. RVs and large trailers are not recommended. No water is available. Elevation 7000 ft. Visitation: 3,200 per year Egan Crest Trailhead Egan Crest Trail System (open to all uses) The Egan Crest Trail System provides recreationists with 24 miles of trails with a variety of terrain from the rolling sagebrush flats to the higher elevations in pinyon and juniper forests. The trails consist of single-track and signed two-track roads and are open to hiking,
mountain biking, equestrian, motorcycles, and ATVs. Beautiful vistas await along the high points of the trail. Things to note: 2 trail loops and 2 connector trails: 24 miles total / 38.6 km. Other amenities: Picnic tables and shade structures at trailhead. No potable water. Visttation: 1200 per year
Future plans of development: The Garnet Hill and Egan Crest Recreation Areas do have future plans of development. There are plans for new campground facilities, access roads and 20 miles of constructed Motorized and 20 miles of constructed non-motorized trail each with access to the town of Ely.
Ward Mtn: no plans future plans.
There are no seasonal closures at any.

Seismic Refraction 2920, Geotechnical Study EA, SF-299 for Larger Project Wednesday, August 18, 2021
Date: Location:

Attendees:
Jared Bybee (BLM) Chris McVicars (BLM) Concetta Brown (BLM) Alicia Hankins (BLM) Leslie Riley (BLM)

Seismic Refraction 2920 •
Update on Seismic Reflection 2920 Application and IDT Team Review – Jared Bybee noted that the application is currently under team review; the IDT will meet Monday Aug 23, 2021 to discuss.
SF-299 for Transmission Line • Update on SF-299 for the Transmission Line Corridor There are competing proposals for use of the corridor. Alicia Hankins said the SF299 submitted in November 2020 is being serialized as soon as possible. Pam McWharter noted that rPlus has an interest in one side of the corridor and asked if the first SF-299 has primacy. Jared stated that other projects do propose to use the corridor. Typically, the serializing process looks at the applicant’s preferred siting and discloses any conflicts. Pam asked if rPlus should update its SF-299 application to specify preferred position. Jared said it wouldn’t hurt to update the application with a preferred siting within the corridor since that corridor is getting very crowded. Geotech Study EA BLM Comments: •
•
“A decision needs to be made whether this is going to be consider a renewable energy project or a realty project. It conflicts with the LUPA decisions below. NOTE: HDR included MDs that apply to “Land Use Authorizations.” “ Jared: This is a realty project - temporary minor ROW grant is the only path we have in GHMA. In reference to test pits: “This slope needs to be shallow enough for all wildlife (big and small) to exit if they end up in the trench.” NOTE: Text in EA has been added stating that area would be fenced and that four of the test pits each would each be completed in 1 day and TPU-1 would be completed in 2 days. Jared: I

think temporary fencing should be just fine given that duration. However, 24 feet deep is a concern. Jared asked if sides would be sloped for worker safety. Kamal Gautam stated that the contractor will be responsible for ensuring safe conditions for workers performing the testing. As soon as mapping is done, the test pits will be backfilled. Luigi Resta noted that rPlus could use chain link fencing or cover the pit. Jared stated that fencing is preferred because it provides a visual cue to wildlife. Concetta Brown and Jared noted that NDOW’s standard for wildlife fences is 8 feet tall but they will provide rPlus with the information. NDOW Comments: • “Activities within timing restrictions GRSG are not allowable unless in consultation with the appropriate state agency (NDOW, SETT) determines that the impacts from the proposed action meet the net conservation gain threshold, are minimal, or have not direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on GRSG habitat. To date these criteria have not been satisfied to the Department’s knowledge.” Jared stated that BLM is still working and discussing with NDOW and working to better define the project for their understanding. •
“This project generated debits thru the HQT is quantitative evidence that the project does indeed have impacts to GRSG. Furthermore, we would like to note that the debit calculations for exploration projects only include direct physical impacts per State regulations. While the HQT does analyze indirect impacts for these types of projects, indirect impacts are in-fact present and have a greater impact than the direct impacts analyzed. These indirect impacts, such as noise, light, increased human presence and traffic need to be adequately analyzed or at the very least, discussed to provide disclosure to the public.” Concetta noted that the SETT for the HQT analysis uses the 2019 mapping. Maggie Cummings confirmed that she coordinated directly with Katie Anderle of the SETT, who also directed that the project be analyzed as an exploration project – because it is temporary. The HQT does not allow for a different method of analysis that might incorporate indirect impacts. Further, Katie Anderle discussed with Kelly McGowan and others at the SETT, and all agreed this should be treated as an exploration project.
•
“Impacts have not been reduced by relocating B3, the new location is approximately 650 ft from the edge of Priority Habitat (PHMA) and while the new location is mapped as General Habitat (GHMA) it should be noted that this mapping was done by a model. The intent of this model was never to be used for fine scale siting of projects. The Department has reviewed the new location and based on our professional opinion should be managed as PHMA. Please be advised that coordination with the Department is required by the ARMPA if the proponent wishes to conduct activities during any GRSG timing restrictions.” Jared noted that BLM uses what is in the 2015 Sage Grouse amendment, and that doesn’t change even though NDOW has another opinion. Comment is not substantive because BLM has no authority to manage in any way other than using those polygons. BLM has to abide by its own Land Use plan (2015 ARMPA).

•
“GRSG timing restrictions would preclude activities from occurring during the migratory bird nesting season and additional steps beyond just conducting a preconstruction nest clearance prior to disturbance. The Department is happy to assist in determining how to navigate both nesting bird requirements and GRSG requirements where feasible.” Jared stated that BLM is still working and discussing with NDOW and working to better define the project for their understanding.
•
“Precautions need to be taken to ensure that the test pits do not pose a hazard to wildlife; fencing alone may be inadequate even if based on the BLM fence standards. The Department is happy to assist with providing suitable recommendations for wildlife hazard minimization as well as wildlife-friendly fencing.” See fencing discussion above under BLM comment.
•
“The upper portion of the B3 access road is classified as primitive road. Has a maintenance intensity level been assigned to this section of primitive road under BLM Manual 9115?” Jared: this does not apply because it is a ROW action not a road.
•
“The Department remains concerned as to the level of disturbance that is being authorized under “maintenance”. Road improvements can have long lasting effects on wildlife as it often leads to increased human presence and pressure even after the project has been completed simply because a better road exists and is thus utilized more.” Jared noted that these roads are open to the public. Although BLM’s potential authorization to touch up the roads, remove middle hump, while not going outside the footprint of the road – could have that effect but it is likely to be temporary, not long-term like it would be if it was being turned into gravel road. Jared notes many 4WD and ATVs use the road now in spite of its condition. Could add to Reasonably Foreseeable Trends section as a potential impact but note that it is short-term.
Round Table Discussion • The IDT team is prepared to answer questions from HDR. Concetta requested that the excel spreadsheet containing responses and our best shot at a response be sent to BLM once complete. Then the IDT team can answer any remaining questions and review the proposed responses. •
Kamal: in the interest of transparency, want to inform the group of contingency planning discussions with drilling contractor. We are requesting a 100 feet x 50 feet pad for each borehole. If we run into trouble with the hole halfway through drilling (for example), and we need to drill another hole within the pad, would that be a problem? Jared stated that if rPlus stays within the area of the temporary ROW Grant, which will be the pad, that will be ok. Because this is considered a data collection effort, you do not have to site the drill exactly in advance.

Seismic Refraction 2920 o IDT team review occurred last Monday. Alicia scoped and is leading the effort and was not on the call for an update.
•
SF-299 for Transmission Line o Document is being revised and updated with new footprints and trying to narrow down the corridor.
•
Geotech Study EA o Yesterday HDR sent a revised EA along with a comment response matrix. Four files in total: Clean version, track changes version, comment matrix that is more forward facing, and a comment matrix that has more internal discussions. An appendix and FONSI are forthcoming. o Jared would like clarification on the staging area and if permissions have been received from the landowner. ▪ rPlus does have an agreement with the landowner in place. They are currently in discussions with the landowner on road maintenance. ▪ That will need to be finalized for approval from BLM. It will be put in as a condition of approval so the agreement is not a public document. ▪ rPlus is also coordinating with the County on road use and will have an agreement in place with the County for road use. o Winter construction may be needed for contingency.

The DOW may have additional information besides what is available online related to lakes, WMAs, or game management units that would support development of the recreation report. The recreations areas we are looking at include: Steptoe Valley WMA Game Management Units 111, 121, 131 Bassett Lake Cave Lake In particular, for all recreation areas we are looking for readily available information related to: General usage estimates or data (if available) Any future plans for improvements or modifications to the recreation area Seasonality/closures For the game management units, I did notice some public data online for the 2020 season, but was wondering if there happens to be hunter/license data available for these units (111, 121, 131) broken out specifically? And if you have anything related to usage of these units for hunting in comparison to other regions or the state as a whole that would be helpful. I appreciate your time and help with this effort. Thank you very much! Michelle Dufault Assistant Regulatory Specialist HDR 970 Baxter Blvd, Suite 301 Portland, ME 04103-5337 D 207.239.3878 M 774.272.5009 Michelle.Dufault@hdrinc.com

Hi Kailey, Yes, to clarify – if you have available hunter/license data for units 111, 121, and 131 individually that would be great. I think we can infer usage via hunter license data and we can compare to nearby regions via the online data as well on our end. I noticed the data available online combines units together and we are looking more closely here at the units/region in direct vicinity of the proposed project. And any other additional data referenced below on those sites would also be great if readily available. We understand that it may not be possible to obtain all this information. The recreation report is part of the larger licensing application for the project, so we are aiming to have this information before November if possible to incorporate into the draft license application. Thank you, Michelle Dufault

Introduction
GEI Consultants, Inc. prepared this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) for activities associated with a geotechnical study to support the engineering and design of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada. The geotechnical study will be conducted on U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada (the Project). The proposed Project will be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs and associated conduits and powerhouse with generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. A geotechnical study is being completed as a requirement of the pre-feasibility assessment of the larger Project. The geotechnical study, which is the subject of this SWPPP, will consist of three borings, five test pits, and a temporary staging area (Proposed Action). The purpose of this SWPPP is to document the Stormwater Management Plan for site activities and to document the stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) and controls that will be implemented to control and minimize pollutants in stormwater discharges from the Project Site. Amendments to this SWPPP, if necessary, will be documented on the SWPPP Amendment Log in Appendix A. Applicable BMPs are in Appendix B. The total area of land disturbance during the geotechnical study will be less than one-acre. Therefore, coverage under the State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity is not required and has not been obtained. However, the format and content of this SWPPP generally follows the format and content of the NDEP Construction General Permit SWPPP template, except that sections of the SWPPP template that do not apply to this project have been excluded. This SWPPP is an Appendix to the August 2021 Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for the geotechnical study. Therefore, detailed information about the Project Site is not repeated and references to appropriate sections of the EA are provided.

Site Description
6.1
Site Description and Site Maps
The Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada, which is in the Steptoe Valley Basin and Duck Creek Range in east-central Nevada. Figures showing the Project location, topography, land ownership, work areas for each boring and test pit, the temporary staging area location, access roads, and specific locations on the access road to boring location B-3 where maintenance will be performed, are in Appendix A of the EA. The total area of the Project is greater than 10 acres. The estimated total area of the site expected to be disturbed by the Proposed Action is 0.8 acres, which includes test pit disturbance areas, drill pads, a temporary staging area, and limited areas of existing roadways where maintenance will be performed. Zero percent of the site is impervious and will remain unchanged after completion of the Proposed Action.
6.2
Receiving Waters
Water resources in the vicinity of the Proposed Action, based on data from the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), are shown on Figure 3.1 in Appendix A of the EA. Duck Creek is located adjacent to the access road to boring location B-3. However, Duck Creek is greater than 0.25-mile from the proposed work areas and potential discharges from the work area are not expected to reach Duck Creek. The access road that crosses Duck Creek will be protected by a construction matting bridge as described in the EA. The drill pad work area for boring B-3 is greater than 0.25-mile away. There are no known wetlands within the project area.

11. Stabilization of Disturbed Areas As described in section 2.2.7 of the EA, reclamation requirements include reshaping, re-contouring, and/or resurfacing with topsoil, installation of water bars, and seeding on the contour. Fertilization and/or fencing of the disturbance may be required. Additional erosion control measures (e.g., fiber matting and barriers) to discourage road travel will be implemented as necessary. Disturbed areas, including test pit disturbance areas and the drill pads, will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. Reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will be seeded with a BLM-approved certified weed-free seed mix and mulched if required by BLM, at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Reclaimed areas will be inspected by and approved by the BLM (Bristlecone Field Office). Decompaction of soils will be performed as directed by BLM. Reclamation efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. WPW will implement the following additional practices during reclamation: •
Re-spread weed-free vegetation removed from the areas of disturbance to provide protection, nutrient recycling, and seed source.
•
Where seeding is required, appropriate seed mixture and seeding techniques approved by the BLM Authorized Officer will be used.
•
Certify that all interim and final seed mixes, hay, straw, and hay/straw products are free of plant species listed on the Nevada noxious weed list.
•
An area will be considered to be satisfactorily reclaimed when all disturbed areas have been recontoured to blend with the natural topography, erosion has been stabilized, and an acceptable vegetative cover has been established. The BLM will use the Nevada Guidelines for Successful Revegetation prepared by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, the BLM, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (or most current revision or replacement of this document) to determine if revegetation is successful.
Borings will be abandoned with a watertight seal using a cement bentonite grout and possibly backfill in locations that are not able to be sealed with grout due to large pockets, fissures, or other large openings.

Hydraulic Wood Fiber Mulch
EC-03
Map Symbol
Description:
Hydraulic mulch consists of applying a mixture of cut or shaved wood fiber, cellulose fiber,
blended fiber, or a bonded fiber matrix, and a stabilizing emulsion or tackifier with hydro-mulching equipment. Mulching provides temporary erosion protection, increased infiltration, dust protection, and fosters growth of vegetation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Application: Hydraulic mulch is a temporary, stand alone, erosion control BMP suitable for disturbed areas that require temporary protection from wind and water erosion until permanent soil stabilization activities commence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Limitations:
•
Wood fiber hydraulic mulches require a curing (or drying) period to be fully effective. Refer to product specifications.
•
Application is limited to calm weather conditions with sustained wind speeds of 15 mph or less.
•
Polyacrylamide (PAM) utilized with hydraulic mulch shall be water based, anionic in form, contain less than 0.05% residual monomer, and suited to the specific soil type being treated. The use of cationic-based polymers within NDOT’s right-of-way is prohibited.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Design and Implementation: •
The application procedures and materials used for hydraulic mulches shall conform to Standard Specifications Section 211 and 726, respectively. If application rates are not included in the contract documents, apply per manufacturer recommended rates.
•
Products are limited to those approved for use on the current QPL.
•
Unless specified otherwise, prior to application, roughen embankment and fill areas.
NDOT Construction Site Stormwater BMP Manual (December 2017) EC-03 Page 1 of 4

Hydraulic Wood Fiber Mulch
EC-03 •
Avoid mulch over-spray onto areas not designated for treatment, e.g. travel ways, sidewalks, drainage channels, waterways, and existing vegetation.
•
Unless specified otherwise, hydraulic mulches are to be applied per manufacturer’s recommended rates.
•
Mulches are to be uniformly applied across the soil surface.
•
Never apply hydraulic mulch within 24 hours of a forecasted precipitation event, unless approved by the project Engineer.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Categories of Hydraulic Mulches: Standard Hydraulic Mulch (SM)
•
Standard hydraulic mulches are generally applied at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre and are manufactured containing around 5% tackifier (i.e. soil binder), usually a plant-derived guar or psyllium type. Most standard mulches are dyed green in color derived using food color based dye.
Hydraulic Matrices (HM) and Stabilized Fiber Matrices (SFM)
•
Hydraulic matrices and stabilized fiber matrices are slurries which contain increased levels of tackifiers and/or other binders. HMs and SFMs have improved performance compared to a standard hydraulic mulch (SM) because of the additional tackifier (10%) and because of their higher application rates, typically 2,500 – 4,000 pounds per acre. Hydraulic matrices can include a mixture of fibers, for example, a 50/50 blend of paper and wood fiber.
Bonded Fiber Matrices (BFM)
•
Bonded fiber matrices (BFMs) are hydraulically-applied slurries of fibers and adhesives (typically guar based). Upon drying, the slurry forms an erosion-resistant blanket that prevents soil erosion and promotes vegetation establishment. The adhesive in the BFM should be biodegradable and should not dissolve or disperse upon re-wetting. BFMs are typically applied at rates from 3,000 to 4,000 lbs/acre based on the manufacturer’s recommendation. BFMs should not be applied immediately before, during, or immediately after rainfall when the soil is saturated. Depending on the product, BFMs typically require 12 to 24 hours to dry and become effective.
Mechanically-Bonded Fiber Matrices (MBFM)
•
Mechanically-bonded fiber matrices (MBFMs) are hydraulically applied systems similar to BFM that use crimped synthetic fibers and PAM. MBFMs are typically applied to a slope at a higher application rate than a standard BFM.
Hydraulic Compost Matrices (HCM)
•
Hydraulic compost matrix (HCM) is a field-derived practice whereby finely graded or sifted compost is introduced into the hydraulic mulch slurry. A guar-type tackifier can be added for steeper slope applications as well as any specified seed mixtures. A HCM can help to accelerate seed germination and growth. HCMs are particularly useful as an in-fill for three dimensional re-vegetation geo-composites, such as turf reinforcement mats.
If product selection and application rates are not provided in project specifications, consult an erosion control professional to assist with the selection of the appropriate product for the specific application.

EC-08
Map Symbol
Description:
During construction it is often necessary to stabilize exposed soils and slopes from raindrop
impact and erosion, wind erosion, conserve soil moisture, decrease runoff, and increase infiltration utilizing the process of hydroseeding. Hydroseeding typically consists of applying a mixture of wood fiber or mulch, seed mix, and tackifier with hydro-mulch equipment to achieve soil stabilization and erosion control.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Application: •
Applicable to disturbed areas requiring erosion control as well as areas that must be re-disturbed following an extended period of inactivity.
•
Temporary protection for disturbed areas until vegetation is established.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Limitations: •

Spill Classification, Reportable, and Non-Reportable Spills A spill can be described as any pollutant, hazardous waste or contaminate that has been spilled, leaked, pumped, poured, emitted, emptied, discharged, injected, escaped, leached, dumped, or disposed into the environment. The reportable quantity for petroleum products such as oil, diesel, gasoline, and hydraulic fluid is 25 gallons or 3 cubic yards of impacted material, or the presence on or in groundwater. The reportable quantity for hazardous waste is based upon Federal EPA guidelines established under Title III List of Lists (40CFR Part 302). A spill of any quantity that affects a waterway within the State of Nevada must be reported, regardless of the quantity. Contact NDEP at 1-888-331NDEP (6337) to report a Reportable Spill and NDOT’s Environmental Services Division at (775) 888-7013 and NDOT’s Stormwater Division at (775) 888-7771 as soon as possible but no later than the end of the first working day of the release. Spill Clean Up and Storage Procedures
•
129
Non-Reportable Spills
Use absorbent materials on small spills. Never hose down a spill to a storm drain or waterway, bury a spill.
Remove the absorbent materials promptly and dispose of properly in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and Standard Specifications Section 107.
The practice commonly followed for a non-reportable spill is: 1.
Contain the spread of the spill.
2.
Recover spilled materials.
NDOT Construction Site Stormwater BMP Manual (December 2017) MM-04 Page 2 of 4
Spill Prevention and Control 3.
•
Clean the impacted area and/or properly dispose of affected materials.
Petroleum Product Reportable Spills
•
MM-04
For petroleum product Reportable Spills, the following steps shall be taken: 1.
Contain spread of the spill.
2.
If the spill occurs on paved or impermeable surfaces, clean up using "dry" methods (absorbent materials, floor dry and/or rags). Contain the spill by encircling with absorbent materials and do not let the spill spread widely.
3.
If the spill occurs in dirt areas, immediately contain the spill by constructing an earthen dike.
4.
If the spill occurs during rain, cover spill with tarps or other material to prevent impacting runoff.
5.
Notify the Engineer immediately and follow up with a written report documenting the incident and cleanup measures.
6.
Notify NDEP and contact NDOT Environmental Services and Stormwater Divisions.
Hazardous Material Reportable Spills
For hazardous Material Reportable Spills that cannot be controlled by appropriately trained personnel in the immediate vicinity, the following steps shall be taken: 1.
Notify the local emergency response by dialing 911, as necessary. In addition to 911, the contractor will notify the Engineer, NDOT Environmental Services and Stormwater Divisions, the NDEP and the appropriate federal agencies. It is the contractor's responsibility to have all emergency phone numbers at the construction site.
2.
The services of a spills contractor or HazMat team shall be obtained immediately by the contractor. Construction personnel shall not attempt to clean up the spill.
3.
Other agencies which may need to be consulted include, but are not limited to, the Fire Department, the Public Works Department, the Highway Patrol, the City/County Police Department, Department of Toxic Substances, Nevada Division of Oil and Gas, OSHA, etc.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Maintenance and Inspection: •
Verify weekly that spill control clean up materials are properly identified and are located near material storage, unloading, and use areas.
•
Frequently inspect areas having a higher likelihood of spills (e.g. petroleum product and chemical storage areas) for threats, defective equipment, and spill cleanup supplies.
•
Update spill prevention and control plans, and stock appropriate clean-up materials for the types of chemicals on-site.
•
Ensure all incidents of significant spills and Reportable Spills are documented accordingly per the CGP.

Silt Fence
SC-01
Map Symbol
SF
Description: Through the construction process, disturbed soils and sediments have the potential to migrate due to erosion. A silt fence is a temporary linear sediment control barrier used to intercept and detain sediment while decreasing the velocity of runoff. Silt fences consist of a geotextile filter fabric or other permeable fabric that has been staked, entrenched and anchored into the soil. Silt fences allow larger sediment particles to settle from the runoff as it passes through the permeable fabric.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Application: Silt fences are placed: •
Along the perimeter of a project.
•
At the toe of exposed and erodible slopes.
•
Along the contour of slopes.
•
Down-slope of exposed soil areas.
•
Around temporary stockpiles and disturbed areas.
•
Along streams and channels.
•
Can be used to define project boundary, work areas, or equipment exclusion areas.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Limitations:
•
Typically the maximum length of slope draining to any point along the silt fence is 200 feet.
•
Limit to locations suitable for temporary ponding and deposition of sediment.
•
Do not use below slopes subject to creep, slumping, or landslides.
NDOT Construction Site Stormwater BMP Manual (December 2017) SC-01 Page 1 of 4
148
Silt Fence
SC-01 •
Do not use in streams, channels, or anywhere flow is concentrated.
•
Do not use silt fences to divert or redirect flow.
•
Subject to wind damage.
•
Not recommended for use in rocky areas due to potential difficulties with proper installation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Design and Implementation: Types and Specifications
•
Type 1 (standard silt fence): Silt fence shall be constructed of silt fence fabric and wood posts at 6 foot maximum spacing. This installation typically is only suitable for up to two-week duration, especially in wind prone areas. Longer duration installations typically require significant maintenance as posts fail easily and the fabric quickly becomes unsuitable.
•
Type 2 (wire back silt fence): Silt fence shall be constructed of silt fence fabric, wire mesh backing, and steel T-posts at 8 foot maximum spacing. This installation is intended for construction activities of two weeks duration or longer.
•
Not intended for use as mid-slope protection on slopes steeper than 4:1.
•
For slopes steeper than 2:1 and that contain a high number of rocks or large dirt clods that might dislodge, it may be necessary to install additional protection fencing immediately adjacent to the bottom of the slope, prior to installing silt fence.
•
For slopes adjacent to water bodies or Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), additional temporary soil stabilization may be necessary.
Materials
•
Silt fence fabric shall be woven polypropylene with a minimum width of 35 inches and a minimum tensile strength of 100 pounds. The fabric shall conform to the requirements in ASTM designation D4632 and shall have an integral reinforcement layer. The reinforcement layer shall be a polypropylene, or equivalent, net provided by the manufacturer. The permittivity of the fabric shall be between 0.1 sec -1 and 0.15 sec-1 in conformance with the requirements in ASTM designation D4491. The contractor must submit certificate of compliance in accordance with the project’s specifications.
•
Wood posts shall be commercial quality lumber of nominal dimensions 2 inches x 2 inches x 5 feet. Each post shall be free from decay, splits or cracks longer than the thickness of the post or other defects that would weaken the posts and cause the posts to be structurally unsuitable.
•
Steel T-posts shall be 5 feet tall and conform to Standard Specifications Section 724.03.02.
•
Wire mesh shall be 2 inches x 2 inches x 14-gauge wire.
•
Fabric shall be fastened to the posts in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Installation
149
•
Trenches shall not be excavated wider and deeper than necessary for proper installation of the temporary linear sediment barriers. Excavation of the trenches shall be performed immediately before installation of the temporary linear sediment barriers.
•
The bottom of the silt fence shall be keyed-in the soil a minimum of 6 inches and form a “J” or an “L” up gradient below the soil surface.
NDOT Construction Site Stormwater BMP Manual (December 2017) SC-01 Page 2 of 4
Silt Fence
SC-01
•
Construct silt fences with a setback of at least 10 feet from the toe of a slope. Where setback is not practical, the silt fence shall be constructed as far from the toe of the slope as practical to allow for equipment access for removal of accumulated sediment.
•
Silt fence end posts shall be turned uphill to prevent stormwater from flowing around the edges.
•
Attached silt fence fabric on the upslope side of the posts to withstand potential surface runoff and trap sediment.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maintenance and Inspection: Inspection
•
Inspect for the depth of accumulated sediment.
•
Inspect fabric for rips and tears.
•
Inspect for areas of strained fabric.
•
Verify that the fabric remains attached to the posts.
•
Inspect for post stability.
•
Inspect for signs of undercutting and confirm the fabric is keyed-in along the entire length.
Maintenance
•
Repair undercut silt fences and re-key as needed.
•
Repair or replace ripped, torn, slumping, or weathered fabric.
•
Maintain silt fences to provide adequate sediment holding capacity. Sediment shall be removed when the sediment accumulation reaches one-half (1/2) of the fabric height. Sediment removal should occur more frequently if accumulated sediment is creating noticeable strain on the fabric and there is the possibility of the fence failing from a sudden storm event. Removed sediment can be utilized to repair slopes, or shall be incorporated in the project at locations designated by the Engineer or disposed of outside the highway rightof-way in conformance with NDOT Standard Specifications.
•
Silt fences that are damaged and become unsuitable for the intended purpose shall be removed from the site, disposed of outside the highway right-of-way in conformance with NDOT Standard Specifications, and replaced with new silt fence barriers.
•
Holes, depressions or other ground disturbance caused by the removal of temporary silt fences shall be backfilled and repaired in conformance with NDOT Standard Specifications.
•
Remove silt fence when no longer needed. Fill and compact postholes and anchoring trench, remove sediment accumulation, as appropriate, and grade fence alignment to blend with adjacent ground.

Sediment Logs
SC-05
Map Symbol
Description:
Sediment logs consists of wood excelsior, rice straw, wheat straw, or coconut fibers that are
rolled or bound into a tight roll and placed on the toe or the face of slopes to intercept runoff, reduce its velocity, release the runoff to sheet flow, and provide removal of sediment from the runoff. Sediment Logs are also alternatively known as: straw wattles, fiber rolls, fiber roll barriers, coir rolls or coir logs.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Application: •
Along the perimeter of a site or work area.
•
Along the toe, top, face, and at grade breaks of exposed and erodible slopes to shorten slope length and maintain sheet flow conditions.
•
To minimize the concentration of flow that might cause rill erosion.
•
Below the toe of exposed and erodible slopes.
•
Used as check dams in unlined ditches.
•
Down-slope of exposed soil areas.
•
Around temporary stockpiles.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ Limitations:
•
Do not use sediment logs on slopes subject to creep, slumping, or landslide.
•
Not suitable for applications where “ground-log” contact is insufficient.

Seasonal Timing Waivers o NDOW did not concur with BLM’s request for seasonal waiver request for sagegrouse for activities on the Steptoe Valley side of the Geotechnical Study after November 1. o Next steps – Kelly McGowan ▪ The next step following non-concurrence would be to request a review for alternative mitigation at the Ecosystem Council meeting October 1 ▪ The Sagebrush Ecosystem program is not set up to mitigate for seasonal requests and given the biological reasons given by NDOW, it may be challenging to find a way to grant an exception. ▪ Proponent can put a request to have the seasonal restriction modified – there is a potential to seek mitigation in a way that achieves net conservation gain since the disturbance would be temporary. ▪ Friday, Oct 1 is the next council meeting. A mitigation plan for alternative mitigation would need to be presented. Before then, Kelly will reach out to NDOW and get specificity on the location, telemetry on bird use, availability of nearby winter habitat, existing anthropomorphic disturbance in the area. Kelly understands 2-3 weeks of drilling would be required after November 1 • A decision would need to be made at that meeting with the schedule as it currently is (council meetings occur every two months). • Kelly suspects the council will want active conservation and not just the purchase of credits. The proponent should look for NEPAready projects to complete, likely pinyon/juniper removal. Would need to have the proponent’s plan prior to the meeting. o Jared Bybee (BLM) has spoken with NDOW regional supervisor and they appear firm on their decision because of the sensitivity of the habitat. NDOW does not see it the same way as BLM. Jared noted the presence of a 368 Energy Corridor, the Railroad, roads and trails in the Steptoe Valley.

No information is needed by SETT from the project proponents. Kelly will keep the team informed as his analysis commences on his overall thoughts. Kelly noted sharp declines in sage grouse populations as stated in the NDOW letter to BLM, and said that he is not very comfortable moving forward with alternative mitigation if NDOW is not. o Alternative paths for the BLM ▪ BLM could issue the EA and grant permission to perform activities on the Duck Creek side of the project, and to excavate all the test pits while waiting on NDOW’s decision; a segmented notice to proceed (NTP). ▪ Potentially two different decision records Drilling schedule o Kamal clarified that If starting on Oct 1, the work is scheduled to go into February. Due to the depth of borehole B-3 (2,800 feet), the need to carefully extract the core sample, and the unpredictable nature of drilling, it cannot be completed in 30 days before the winter seasonal variance would be required. o On the Steptoe Valley side, Borehole B-1 could be completed in 2-3 weeks. Its crew and drill rig would then move to B-2, where drilling is expected to take 3-4 months. B-2 is not a vertical drill and about 1,000 feet deep so it will be the most complicated. o Nancy Herms of BLM noted: ▪ March 1 is the breeding season start for sage grouse and would likely cause concern with NDOW. Borehole 1 and access roads to borehole 2 and 3 are the portions of the project that goes through winter habitat. ▪ If drilling begins October 1, the daily activity should cause birds to leave the area before the winter seasonal restriction begins. However, if the crews take breaks over holidays, birds could move back into the area ▪ Pam clarified that only B-1 and existing access roads are in mapped winter habitat. Nancy stated that the high level of proposed daily traffic is a concern for NDOW, maybe more so than the drilling. o The contractor has communicated that they have worked in similar circumstances and has the equipment and experience to drill through winter. o SETT would like a schedule breakdown of the drilling. Kamal and Pam will provide. o

Geotech Study EA o Concetta Brown (BLM) has plugged in the Required Design Factors; the standard terms and conditions, and the comment-response matrix and put the document back on the SharePoint site. o Concetta requested that the document be processed for 508 compliance. o Decision record ▪ Jared will send project-specific terms and conditions (just a few bullets) so that the Decision Record can be issued by the end of the week. ▪ Jared plans to issue the Decision Record to start the 30-day clock by the end of this week. Seismic Reflection 2920 o HDR will be conducting additional cultural surveys for the areas not previously surveyed. o No IDT comments provided during the meeting.

•
Round Table Discussions o Kamal provided an update on the landowner agreement. rPlus is meeting with the landowner in Ely tomorrow so should be wrapped up then. o Kelly McGowan noted that there is a possibility that the Council will not be in favor of granting an exception to the timing restriction based on alternative mitigation, so the proponent may need to consider beginning the study next August.

Good morning, Looking at the FAR I am a little confused. We discussed that you only needed to inventory overland travel route east of the RR, and the Reconn from the south. I see on the FAR there is inventory proposed for the entire seismic line? Lisa

Geotech drilling discussion o BLM Final EA, Decision Record, and FONSI for geotech drilling were posted Friday, 9/3/2021 ▪ Currently in the 30-day appeal/objection period for the decision. ▪ Jared says the BLM decision will go to the Ecosystem Council because NDOW did not concur with BLM’s proposal to issue a waiver for the activities in the Steptoe Valley. ▪ HDR should be prepared to provide to the Ecosystem Council with a case for work in sage grouse winter habitat in the Steptoe Valley - that the area is already disturbed and proposed activities are in close proximity to development. ▪ Standard procedure is to issue the permit after the appeal period. Is there a process in place that rPlus could go out ‘at risk’? • Permit offer with stipulations, a rental fee and potentially a bond will need to be reviewed and sent as a package to rPlus • The package can be started now so there are no delays once the appeal period is complete • BLM will send the package to rPlus and HDR by 9/17/21 Seismic Reflection 2920 o Cultural Class III Inventory was recommended for an area near the railroad track. HDR will survey this week while out in the area meeting with the tribe. o IDT Team is still reviewing, Alicia Hankins has reminded her team to finish their review, which will still require the cultural survey to be completed and reviewed by BLM. ▪ Likely a bond will not be required because disturbance will not trigger reclamation. o NEPA record will need to be separate from the Geotech but seismic reflection work is a categorical exclusion (CX) and no EA is required. o Approval should occur around 9/17/21. o There is no protest/appeal period for the seismic reflection work, so once the CX is signed and the ROW 2920 permit is issued it will be in effect.

Round Table Discussions o Annie Dixon is new to this group call and introduced herself – Deputy District Manager for the Ely District. o Elaboration on package details to the Council: for the boreholes in Steptoe Valley, show they are sited adjacent to railroads, roads, public use area, and that the land is already disturbed. The sage grouse plan emphasizes locating infrastructure near existing disturbances; and rPlus and BLM worked to achieve that with this proposal. The lack of a waiver likely had to do with the sage grouse population drop in White Pine county and sensitivity to any new disturbances. ▪ HDR has provided to Kelly McGowan a figure showing all the infrastructure in the area near the boreholes. ▪ Pam will call Kelly and see if there’s more information for the presentation to the Council that can help their argument. If a meeting is preferred Pam will invite the BLM team to join. o Luigi (rPlus) will be in Ely next week and offers to meet with BLM staff. o Matthew (rPlus) is looking for a copy of the ROW details from the Falcon Gonder T-Line to help the rPlus team refine their request. Matthew will find the case number and provide to BLM (Alicia Hankins) for her to determine if the ROW information is available in the Ely District office.

Meeting Summary Project:
White Pine Pumped Hydro Project SETT Call
Subject:
Geotechnical Study for Boreholes and GrSG Winter Habitat
Date:
Monday, September 13, 2021
Location:
Webex
Attendees:
Kelly McGowan (SETT) Katie Andrle (SETT / NDOW) Moira Kolada (NDOW) Caleb McAdoo (NDOW) Kody Menghini (NDOW) Chris McVicars (BLM)
Brett Burgess (rPlus) Kamal Gautam (rPlus) Matthew Shapiro (rPlus) Pam McWharter (HDR) Nancy Craig (HDR) Cathy Storey (HDR)
Introductions The SETT, regional and local NDOW office, BLM Ely District Office, rPlus, and HDR were represented. Geotechnical Study and Work in GrSG Winter Season Kelly McGowan gave an overview of SETT’s review of the proposal for the Geotechnical Study: SETT spent time last week considering whether habitat was depleted to a value of zero at boreholes B-1 and B-2. The analysis done last week showed a degraded habitat value, but not to zero. Kelly explained that when the SETT analyzes exploration projects, they look at drill pads and roads. Ingress and egress routes to B-1, B-2, and B-3 all pass through Greater Sage-grouse (GrSG) winter habitat. Kelly said the vehicle use would be significant – up to 20 per day in and out. He was also concerned about the ability to drill in winter – the effort to get up and down would be impactful. The bottom line is that impacts are occurring in winter habitat, and they appear to be fairly significant. Kelly’s recommendation to the Council would be that SETT and NDOW are not set up to analyze impacts to winter habitat. Because of declining GrSG population in the area, Kelly would not be comfortable saying that impacts may be minimal and that alternative mitigation elsewhere would be appropriate. •
Pam McWharter mentioned that pinon/ juniper removal had been discussed and Kelly indicated that off-site forms of mitigation would not be adequate. Is there a way to change the proposal that could be evaluated? Kelly said that would be minimization and not mitigation. Kelly said he didn’t know if there are ways to minimize. It would be more detrimental to create new routes to the sites so that would not be a good option. Kelly would be open to suggestions that somebody else might have to minimize impacts.

•
Pam noted that B-1 will be completed before Nov 1. So the impacts will be road use to B-2 and B-3. Is there a threshold (i.e., number of vehicles per day) that would be acceptable? Kelly said he was not sure we have the science to say 5 is minimal, 10 is impactful. We do not have that clarity. The restrictions are supposed to be restrictive. The number of vehicle trips should have been minimized earlier in the process.
•
Kamal Gautam said that from the rPlus view, we are at the very last stage of mobilization preparation. It has been over a year since we started discussing this with BLM. Some of these issues are a surprise for us that they have come up so late in the process. B-1 and all 5 test pits could be finished before November 1. B-2 and B-3 are deeper and likely to finish by the end of January. Kamal said that B-2 and B-3 are most critical from the engineering point of view. Pads for B-2 and B-3 are not located in winter habitat but access roads are. From my point of view, the roads are not new and are existing and have been used by many people. The habitat along those access roads has already been disturbed. Trips to B-2 can be minimized if that makes sense. We can look at those to minimize as much as we can.
•
Pam said the work for the Geotechnical Study would require more than a 90-day window. With timing limitations, there is only Sep 15 to Nov 1 that is free and clear. So even if this is done later, the study would need at least a 90 day period. Would it be viable to work during the 45 days before Sep 15? Kelly said that Moira pulled some of the seasonal habitat data. Other seasons would be brood rearing and lekking. These are critical too.
•
Nancy Craig asked which maps NDOW was using. Moira Kolada said they were using the same maps as BLM developed by USGS in 2016. Kelly said when they use these maps, they have to take them with a grain of salt. They are pretty well refined but to some degree they are fairly coarse. So the value (low, medium, or high) is based on height or density of sagebrush and several other factors so it’s hard to say that because it’s rated as low, it might not serve a significant value, in reality it might hold a significant value. Without significant telemetry to show us where birds are choosing habitat, which we don’t have, we have to take the map.
•
Nancy asked how the habitat was re-assessed to conclude that it is degraded, but not to a value of zero. Is there telemetry data that have provided you with information, or informed your assessment? Caleb McAdoo said that telemetry is relatively costly and takes a fair amount of personnel time to trap the birds at night with flashlights and boom boxes. Long story short, we don’t have any telemetry activities planned in this area. The Game Division conducts this effort, and we work for the Habitat Division. No telemetry is planned that would shed light. Existing data is very old and with VHF telemetry you
2
have to actively go out and triangulate so the existing data is very coarse. Suspect the existing data is more than 10 years old. Kody Menghini is with the Game Division and said we just don’t have telemetry data for that area. He said there are incidental observations of sage grouse 3 miles to the south. There is contiguous habitat from B-1 to these bird sightings. •
Nancy noted that Katie did not go out and look at habitats in area near B-1 and B-2. What did you look at to determine the level of anthropogenic disturbance? Kelly said it was strictly a desktop analysis. Moira has gone out to the site, not necessarily for observations of bird activity but for documenting habitat type. Kody said that he had been out on site, and it is contiguous habitat with known bird observations on the Steptoe Valley side. Kody has also been on the Duck Creek side and it is good habitat and numerous sightings. Kody has not been there in winter but has no reason to think birds aren’t there then as well. He said NDOW has sightings 3 miles south of B-1 and B-2 and there is no change in the habitat.
•
Kelly asked: 1. Once the Geotechnical Study begins, can you stop and re-start? 2. Would the wildlife biologists on the call agree that if drilling can begin late in the brood-rearing season, that might be the best way to get it done in one mobilization? To address question 2, Kody said that this is prime brood rearing habitat and numbers are way down, that’s why we have such a hard stance on this. With further negative impacts they might not rebound. Opening up another season would not be recommended. It would not be good for the bird population. Kamal addressed Kelly’s question 1 about stop and re-start. Mobilization costs $1 million. Have designed the study in a very compact way so we get the data, then subsequent studies to determine feasibility of the larger project. Mobilization and demobilization and remobilization would cost millions extra, and that is not including the program delays which would also have extra costs.
•
Kamal asked what is the winter habitat that is being disturbed? These are existing access roads that we will be driving on. Kelly responded that Nevada is laced with roads and two-tracks. Generally, use is very light and infrequent. “I feel our system assumes a small number of people.” A concentration of use becomes more impactful and significant. We have felt this cumulative impact across the range, and it is becoming detrimental to sage grouse habitat and their ability to survive. Kamal said that rPlus is open to suggestions that would make the permit possible. Perhaps additional mitigation or credits. rPlus would be very happy to work with new ideas.
•
Pam asked what is different from September 15 to November 1 that makes use during that time less impactful? Kelly said the birds are not using that area during that time, they are spending time at higher elevations. When it gets colder and there is snow on ground, they come down to winter sites. Pam asked what if rPlus had a biologist on site to monitor the presence of GrSG?
3
Caleb McAdoo said from NDOW’s perspective, we don’t have the option to entertain a winter waiver. We just don’t see a clear path given the circumstances, unfortunately. Pam said that’s why rPlus has turned to the SETT for their opinion on an exception. Kody said there are other resources such as wintering mule deer and the RMP language is pretty clear for winter mule deer. He said deer winter every year all around these bore sites. This is an unfortunate location in terms of critical wildlife habitat. •
Kelly said he heard Kamal’s explanation on cost to mobilize and demobilize. What if in November we get heavy rains followed by a 2- or 3-foot snowfall and access to site becomes very muddy with snow at high locations? Would you be able to continue or would you have to delay and then be requesting waiver in the March breeding season? Kamal said Crux Subsurface Drilling is our subcontractor– they have been doing this kind of work in harsh winter conditions for other projects and they presented these other projects to us. They have been to the site and studied site conditions twice. The schedule they have presented is very conservative. It could go until the end of Feb or maybe finish in January. We could curtail the operation to stay within the exempted window – so long as we have made some good depth (say 2,500 or 2,700 feet rather than 2,800 feet); however, a couple hundred feet would not provide enough data at B-2 and B-3.
•
Kelly asked Chris McVicars, if under very muddy or snowy conditions, would the proponent be allowed to bring in dozer, grader, chains, put in gravel? Or would that require additional authorization? Chris replied that he would have to speak with lands and roads folks about the potential for road damage. Pam mentioned that the EA discusses bringing in some gravel on the Duck Creek side and that the BLM is about to go through bonding process with rPlus. Chris said that if there are measures beyond those described in EA, that would not fall within the granted authorizations. Additional analysis and permitting would be needed to make additional improvements (e.g., improving the entire road). Kelly said that it seems like when we get into these projects with tight timelines, then we get put into a difficult position with even more disturbance during winter. If the project goes into March, then it’s breeding season. NDOW and our program people ask what happened? Why was this allowed to move forward? Our job is to offset the impacts that are being authorized to occur, and have just seen too many occasions where it just doesn’t go according to plan and then I feel very uncomfortable.

Matthew Shapiro asked what is the next window when there aren’t exclusions? Moira said the open period is Sept 15 to Nov 1, since this project falls in winter, spring and summer habitats. Kamal said if we get our permit in early October, then we have only 3 weeks, which is not sufficient time for drilling B-2 and B-3.

Final Thoughts Caleb – this area is pretty rich in sage grouse values from seasonal habitats needed for various life stages of GrSG. Given status of GrSG in not only White Pine County but as a whole, land managers are finding this situation is not unique. We are coming up against restrictions because this bird is imperiled. Don’t take it as a sign that we don’t want to see your project succeed. We are trying to look at it from the alternative perspective of the bird, as it is struggling to survive. We are trying to ward off federal designation as Threatened or Endangered. That’s why we’re taking a hard stance. Kody said he thought NDOW has been very consistent about our concerns throughout this entire process. Brett asked about the degradation analysis – what was the value score? Katie said the desktop analysis looked at change in habit functionality with presence of anthropomorphic disturbances. Looked at all bore holes and then B-1 alone – there is a 1 km buffer around it. She found a 10% reduction in habitat quality. This may seem insignificant. But it is intact functioning habitat. It did generate additional debits if we considered it. Katie offered to provide the information to Brett. Chris echoed Caleb that the BLM wants people to be successful. We will stick with within the confines of the decision signed by Jared and operate within laws and policies; this permit will require a waiver of winter habitat restrictions. Matthew said rPlus would step back and consider the possibilities. This is an important project for Nevada and the region, both environmentally and economically. We will consider the options and get creative. Pam noted that we will reconvene and be in touch. Thank you for everyone’s time.

There is slightly conflicting information from the department website depending on which link I click to review rankings. Clicking “Species by Category” goes to a pdf file, attached, which marks musk thistle as a Category C weed. Clicking “Species List” goes to another page listing species which provide further links for detailed information about that species. Clicking the link for musk thistle, https://agri.nv.gov/Plant/Noxious_Weeds/WeedList/Musk_thistle_(carduus_nutans)/ provides a page in which this species is designated a Category B weed. Since the pdf file was revised in February of this year, I assume the would be correct with the designations, but I wanted to verify with you that the pdf would be correct over the website.

Hi Pam, I’m nearing completion of our staff report and will send along once finalized. It’s pretty clear in our regulation that credits and debits should be quantifiable, even when an alternative mitigation plan is proposed. The question may still be does your proposal meet the intent of the regulation or the program. I know this type of proposal has been a component of previous mitigation offsets, however this would be a new concept to consider for the SEC. I would speculate that given the need for quantification, they are more likely to look favorably at on-the-ground conservation efforts where quantifiable results can be achieved. Also, I believe your proposed activity would also need to be considered by NDOW as the State Department that manages the species. It’s hard to say, but they may consider a combination of the two as being adequate. A starting point we might consider the ~264 debits associated with the disturbance when the roads are calculated as “low use” within the HQT as opposed to direct disturbance associated with exploration. Please let me know if you would like to discuss further. Thank you, Kelly

We still need to develop these numbers, but does that seem more like the direction that would work better for this process? If we stay on the same track for telemetry it would be at least XX birds monitored in the county, but that would be more difficult to tie directly back to the land habitat indirect impacts. As far as 264 debits, is that correct? that seems huge considering the project required less than 10 originally and there are mining projects that require less. Is that the debits for just the portions of road that goes through winter habitat, or is it every road in the project area plus a large buffer around these roads? Pam McWharter

Agenda Item 6 Attachment A
Appendix G: Nevada Energy and Infrastructure Development Standards to Conserve Greater Sage-grouse Populations and their Habitats, excerpt page 25-29 VII.
Standards to Avoid or Minimize Impacts to Sage-grouse (All Energy Developments) It is important to note here that some recommendations differ for non-migratory and migratory populations of sage-grouse. For the purposes of this document, non-migratory populations of sagegrouse are those where the majority of individuals do not make long distance movements between or among seasonal ranges (individuals travel <10 km one way between seasonal ranges). Migratory populations are those in which a preponderance of individual grouse move ≥10 km one way between seasonal ranges (derived from Connelly et al. 2000). A. Site Selection 1. The NGSCT considers Category 1 habitats (leks and nesting habitat) irreplaceable and Category 2 habitats (quality winter and brood rearing habitats) critical to the long term persistence of sage-grouse populations. Energy or transmission development should be avoided within Category 1 and 2 sage-grouse habitats. 2. Energy development is strongly discouraged from occurring in Category 3 habitats; however, if unavoidable, projects in these habitats should be situated to minimize impact through placement in the least suitable portion of habitat. 3. Renewable energy developers are encouraged to pursue project development activities within Category 4 and 5 habitats within the range of sage-grouse in Nevada. 4. Project proponents should focus on previously disturbed sites in high potential wind resource areas. These areas could be described as those with prior disturbances including, but not limited to, previously burned areas, dense pinyon and juniper woodlands, areas converted to agriculture and areas within existing linear rights of way (transmission corridors). 5. If habitat categories have not been identified for a certain area, energy facilities and transmission lines should not be sited within 3 miles of the nearest active lek location for non-migratory populations3. a. To the greatest extent possible, energy developers should work closely with NDOW and pertinent federal agency biologists to determine important nesting, brood rearing and winter habitats and avoid those areas. 6. Where populations of sage-grouse are considered migratory, energy facilities and transmission lines should not be sited within 3 miles of the nearest active lek location and should not be sited within the associated nesting habitat for that particular population. a. Consideration should also be given to movement corridors between breeding, nesting, brood-rearing or winter habitat. These movement corridors may not be well defined unless significant radio marking investigations have been conducted for a particular population. It is recommended that these investigations take place where project proponents are proposing developments in likely movement corridors for sage-grouse. 7. No development should occur within a 0.6 mile (1 km) radius around seeps, springs and wet meadows within identified brood rearing habitats.

Holloran (2005) found that natural gas development within 3 – 5 km (approximately 2 - 3 miles) of active sagegrouse leks led to dramatic declines in breeding populations. Walker et al. (2007) also found that coal-bed natural gas development within 0.8 km and 3.2 km had strong negative effects on sage-grouse and detected effects as far as 6.4 km. Johnson et al. (In Press) found that few leks were located within 5 km (≈3 miles) of developed land and trends in male attendance were lower for those leks with more developed land within 5 km or 18 km.

B. Pre-Development Planning and Survey Requirements (All Energy Related Developments) Each proposed energy facility requires some level of detailed individual evaluation. Unique habitat conditions can and do exist due to local variations in wildlife populations and movement patterns, habitats, area topography, facility design, and weather (Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division 2005). The level of pre-project planning and the need for certain surveys or monitoring depends on the seasonal habitat that the project is located in and the importance of the particular habitat. It is the intent of the NGSCT to complete mapping of habitat categorizations in 2010. The following are standards recommended by the NGSCT for pre-project planning and surveys: 1. Identify the cover type of habitat and habitat category of proposed development by using Rvalue classifications, current seasonal habitat delineations and previous telemetry information. These habitat types and categories should be determined on a site specific basis through consultation with NDOW. 2. A remote assessment (utilizing GIS applications) of present habitat condition should be conducted. This assessment should include vegetative classification, seasonal habitat layers, aerial photos, fire polygons and other man-made structures on the landscape including transmission lines, roads or other anthropogenic features. 3. If the project happens to occur in Category 1 or 2 habitats, a comprehensive monitoring plan should be developed and approved by NDOW that addresses demographics and seasonal movement patterns. The Western Agencies Sage and Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse Technical Committee provides sound recommendations in their Interim Guidelines for Evaluating the Impacts of Energy Development (Appendix A). 4. In Category 3 or 4 habitats, field investigations should be conducted by the applicant to determine the actual condition of the habitat and the approximate extent of use by sagegrouse through consultation with NDOW. The potential for habitat improvement should be identified and a restoration or habitat enhancement plan should be developed. 5. If a project is located in Category 5 habitats, surveys (radio-marking of individuals in adjacent sage-grouse populations or stratified random pellet counts) should be considered to determine if sage-grouse move through the area between seasonal habitat patches. If movement across the area is detected, then recommendations should be made to preserve movement patterns by grouse. C. Project Development (All Energy Related Developments) Through this guidance document, we hope to eliminate more direct impacts to sage-grouse populations through avoidance of Category 1 through 3 habitats. However, unless Greater Sagegrouse habitats are afforded increased protection from federal land management agencies such as the BLM, it is likely that some form of renewable energy development will occur within these types of habitats. The NSGCT recognizes that there are projects in the advanced stages of permitting or development which have obtained final or near-final siting approvals from federal, state and/or private entities, and that the siting and/or mitigation commitments for such projects may not be consistent with some of this document’s recommendations. Where this is the case, and where the project has worked with federal and state agencies on matters relevant to wildlife prior to the release of this document, the NSGCT respects agreements that have
Governor’s Sage-grouse Conservation Team
Nevada Energy and Infrastructure Standards to Conserve Greater Sage-Grouse
Page 26 of 58
already been made with regard to siting and mitigation measures. We hope that project proponents in these situations can use the recommended guidance contained in this document to minimize the effects of development where possible. However, if sage-grouse are listed as a threatened or endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the future, then projects on federal lands would be subject to section 7 consultation. Prior agreements may be subject to further review. It is important to note here that some recommendations differ for non-migratory and migratory populations of sage-grouse. For the purposes of this document, non-migratory populations of sage-grouse are those where the majority of individuals do not make long distance movements between or among seasonal ranges (individuals travel <10 km one way between seasonal ranges). Migratory populations are those in which a preponderance of individual grouse move ≥10 km one way between seasonal ranges (derived from Connelly et al. 2000). If a project were approved in Category 1 through 3 habitats, the following represents guidelines suggested by the NGSCT: 1. Where sage-grouse populations are non-migratory energy facilities should not be constructed within 3 miles of the nearest active lek site (see Chapter 1, Section C). 2. Where populations of sage-grouse are considered migratory, energy facilities should not be constructed within 3 miles of the nearest active lek location and should not be sited within the associated nesting habitat for that particular population. 3. If construction within 3 miles of an active sage-grouse lek is absolutely unavoidable, conduct construction activities from 15 July to 30 November to avoid disturbing sage-grouse during the breeding, nesting, early brood rearing and winter periods. a. If pumping stations are placed within 3 miles of an active lek, consideration should be given, and attempts made to place these features in an area where noise would least impact the actual lek using topography to help mask noise. 4. Avoid practices that remove sagebrush cover in these habitat categories as they may be the most important areas to sage-grouse using these habitats. 5. No development or infrastructure features should be placed within 0.6 miles (1 km) of identified late brood rearing habitats, especially meadow complexes and springs. These features can provide a competitive advantage for avian predators; therefore increasing sage-grouse mortality during a period when birds may be susceptible. 6. A comprehensive monitoring plan approved by the Nevada Department of Wildlife will be required to monitor sage-grouse demographics, vital rates and movement patterns before, during and after the construction phase within Category 1 – 3 habitats. The Western Agencies Sage and Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse Technical Committee provide sound recommendations in their Interim Guidelines for Evaluating the Impacts of Energy Development (Appendix D). 7. Within Category 1-3 sage-grouse habitats, a company representative should be on site to oversee compliance during construction and provide environmental training to on-site personnel. This individual is responsible for overseeing compliance with all protective measures and coordination in accordance with the permitting authority and resource agencies should have the authority to issue a “stop work order” if deemed necessary. 8. Human Activity (Daily Operations/Maintenance) a. Vehicle trips should be limited to those times that would least impact nesting or wintering grouse: Governor’s Sage-grouse Conservation Team
Nevada Energy and Infrastructure Standards to Conserve Greater Sage-Grouse
Page 27 of 58
i.
ii.
Vehicle trips should not occur on a regular basis within 3 miles of an active lek or in identified nesting habitats from 01 March through 15 May. 1) If vehicle trips are required during the lekking period, vehicles should only be operated from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. Public access to construction areas should be limited if construction activities are occurring from 01 March through 15 May.
D. Associated Infrastructure (Transmission Lines, Road, Substations, Fences, etc.) The infrastructure associated with utility scale energy developments can potentially be as detrimental as the facility itself. Roads, transmission lines, substations, fences and vehicle traffic can all eliminate or create disturbance within sage-grouse habitats. Even though a wind generation facility or geothermal power plant may not be constructed in optimal sage-grouse habitats, it is likely that roads and/or transmission lines associated with the facility will be. The following guidelines apply to associated infrastructure: 1. Transmission lines should not be sited within 3 miles of the nearest active lek location or in nesting habitat that occurs outside lek buffers. a. In instances where transmission line placement is within 3 miles of the nearest active lek location and cannot be avoided, apply standards 5-9 in this section. i. Attempt to place the line in the least suitable habitat within a 3 mile radius of the nearest active lek. ii. Consider placing the transmission line to the west of the nearest active lek so that avian predators are at a disadvantage (i.e., looking into the sun) in the early morning hours. 2. Roads and below ground infrastructure (i.e. buried power lines, pipelines) should not be sited within 0.6 miles (1 km) of the nearest lek site. These features are a concern because their construction directly removes potential nesting habitat and act as vectors for invasive plant species establishment (e.g., cheatgrass). 3. To the greatest extent practical, transmission lines should be placed near existing highway corridors at “minimum safe distances” designated by the BLM or project proponent to reduce direct and indirect effects to sage-grouse. 4. In all instances where structures are to be placed in sage-grouse habitat, especially nesting habitat, preliminary surveys should be conducted to identify sage-grouse nesting areas and all attempts should be made to avoid these areas. 5. Structures should be constructed with the least amount of perching or nesting substrate possible by avoiding such things as external ladders and platforms. 6. Use tubular tower designs with pointed tops rather than lattice designs. a. This should be applied as a standard design within the range of sage-grouse in Nevada regardless of habitat categorization. 7. In addition to tubular towers, conventional perch and nesting deterrents should be utilized in adherence to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Perching and nest deterrents include: a. devices installed on support towers; b. actual physical maintenance through hazing; and/or c. physical removal of nest structures. 8. Avoid removing sagebrush cover whenever feasible, especially in identified winter habitats. 9. Avoid use of guy wires whenever possible. Governor’s Sage-grouse Conservation Team
Nevada Energy and Infrastructure Standards to Conserve Greater Sage-Grouse
Page 28 of 58
a. In some circumstances, use of guy wires may facilitate tower design features which minimize perching and nest building (e.g. guyed V tubular tower). The overall benefit to sage-grouse of these designs is likely to compensate for any direct affect to sagegrouse from guy wire strikes; however, guy wires should be marked with devices (e.g. spiral vibration damper, FireFly™ bird flight diverter) to increase the visibility of the wires to avian species, thus minimizing strikes. 10. To reduce the impact of new fences on sage-grouse, new fence proposals (including those for emergency stabilization and rehabilitation) should be carefully evaluated for sage-grouse collision risk (BLM IM 2010-022). a. In the process of prioritizing areas for flagging or marking fences, state wildlife agency personnel shall be consulted (BLM IM 2010-022). E. Post Project Development 1. Monitoring a. Within Category 1 through 3 sage-grouse habitats, a comprehensive monitoring plan will be required that addresses demographics, vital rates and seasonal movement patterns. The Western Agencies Sage and Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse Technical Committee provide sound recommendations in their Interim Guidelines for Evaluating the Impacts of Energy Development (Appendix D). b. Information gained from monitoring can be used to help develop future mitigation measures. 2. Noxious Weed Prevention a. Roads and the footprint of wind turbine pads, geothermal energy plants, and transmission lines should be monitored at least annually for any noxious weeds and, if found, treated with appropriate techniques. 3. Noise Reduction a. Noise levels from geothermal facilities, oil and gas pumping stations or gas pipeline compressor stations should not exceed 55 decibels (dBa) at leks. Several noise muffling techniques and equipment are available. i. Noise mufflers should be installed at gas compressor stations; ii. Noise barriers should be installed around oil and gas pumping stations; iii. Temporary noise shields should be constructed around portions of the drilling rigs and used on standard construction equipment. 4. Decommissioning a. Any roads that were built, primarily for construction only, should be decommissioned post construction to deter dispersed vehicle use within sagebrush habitats and the creation of new roads. i. Decommissioned roadways should be restored, to the greatest extent practicable, to the pre-existing vegetative condition. b. Developers should restore pathways of buried transmission lines or pathways to a desired vegetative condition.

Sagebrush Ecosystem Program June 11, 2021 Brett Burgess and Luigi Resta White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Energies, LLC 201 S. Main St, Ste. 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Dear Mr. Burgess and Mr. Resta, The Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) has completed the formal quality assurance review of the White Pine Waterpower exploration project as currently planned and based on the project data provided. The total number of term debits is 8 and the total number of permanent debits is 0 (none). These totals are prior to any applicable proximity ratios that may be applied. This was determined using the methods and protocols described in the Conservation Credit System (CCS) publications and tools associated with calculating functional acres. The SETT does validate that the information that was available to conduct this review was properly inserted and calculated by certified verifiers to run the HQT. The analysis was conducted using version 1.6.21 of the CCS publications and tools. You may consider this CCS calculation of debits as being final and, as such, can be used for the purpose of mitigating impacts. Any changes to the proposed disturbance or map unit delineations may result in a site revisit or re-analyzation of the project using the HQT. It is incumbent upon the project proponent to contact the SETT immediately for determination if further analyzation is necessary. Prior to receiving any notice to proceed from the authorizing agency, the project proponent must offset the credit obligation in its entirety, complete an authorized Phased Purchase Agreement, or develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT. When one of these criteria is satisfied, the SETT will provide a compliance letter notifying the authorizing land management agency that the proponent has successfully completed initial mitigation obligations. Sincerely,
Kelly McGowan Program Manager Sagebrush Ecosystem Program

White Pine Waterpower Borehole Geotechnical Greater Sage-Grouse Winter Seasonal Timing Restrictions
Dear Ms. Herms, The Nevada Department of Wildlife (the Department) acknowledges White Pine Waterpower’s (the Proponent) request for an exception to the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (2015 ARMPA) for the seasonal timing restrictions described under Management Decision (MD) SSS 3 D for winter seasonal use. Under MD SSS 3 D, seasonal restrictions would be applied in winter from November 1 through February 28 to prevent disturbing greater sage-grouse during seasonal life cycle periods. Much of the project area, especially near the bore sites, test pits, and access roads is currently mapped as greater sage-grouse (GRSG) winter habitat. Some areas not currently mapped as winter habitat in the 2015 ARMPA, specifically the areas near bore site 3 and the access road to bore site 3, the Department classifies as winter habitat. The vegetation in the non-winter habitat is very similar, if not the same, as the vegetation that is mapped as winter habitat. Through incidental observations and professional experiences in this area, it is believed that winter habitat is more extensive than what is currently mapped, and the Department believes this habitat should be treated as such. The Schell/Antelope Population Management Unit (PMU) lek counts have declined 76% and 77% from the 10-year average and from 2019, respectively. Trend lek counts in the Schell/Antelope PMU and the Duck Creek Complex follow a similar trend, as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below. Table 1. Schell/Antelope PMU Trend Lek Counts.

Due to the declines in populations and lek activity in the Schell/Antelope PMU, the Department, through the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners (Commission), closed the 2021 GRSG hunting season in this PMU at the June 25-26, 2021 Commission meeting. Reasons for this recommendation follow the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agency Guidelines, as well as the Nevada Sage Grouse Hunting Season Strategies (Nevada Strategies). Under the Nevada Strategies a potential season closure may occur when populations are trending downward sharply and when recruitment rates are below the statewide long-term average. This PMU has been declining since 2017 at a steady rate with a large decline observed between 2019 and 2021. A season closure would have likely been recommended in 2020, but due to the Covid pandemic and fieldwork restrictions, adequate data was not collected to make such a determination. The Department has serious concerns regarding any level of activity during seasonal timing restrictions in effect from November 1 through February 28. We acknowledge that as written in the 2015 ARMPA, “The Authorized Officer may grant an exception…” if the action does not adversely affect GRSG or its habitat, or that the Authorized Officer “may modify the size and shape of the restricted area or the period of limitation where an environmental review and consultation…determines that the action…does not adversely affect GRSG or its habitat.” However, the Department does not currently believe that these criteria can be met, or that an exception or modification to the seasonal timing restriction is appropriate. Under the 2015 ARMPA, in order to grant an exception to the winter seasonal timing restriction, environmental review and consultation between the BLM and the Department/Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) must determine the action: 1) does not adversely affect GRSG or its habitat, or 2) the Proponent, BLM, and the Department/SETT negotiate mitigation that would provide clear net conservation gain. In order to grant a modification to the winter seasonal timing restrictions under the 2015 ARMPA, environmental review and consultation between the BLM and the Department/SETT must determine that the action would not adversely affect GRSG or its habitat. As previously described, the Department believes activity in the area during winter use would adversely affect GRSG. The Department would like to reiterate that the intent of the 2015 ARMPA Winter Timing Limitation is “To protect GRSG winter habitat.” We believe allowing activity to occur for exploration between November 1 and February 28 would not meet that intent. We also do not believe the criteria described above for exception or modification to this stipulation have been satisfied.
We greatly appreciate BLM’s continued collaboration on this project, and if we can provide any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact myself, or Caleb McAdoo, Eastern Region Habitat Supervisory Biologist (cmcadoo@ndow.org). Sincerely,

Re:
White Pine Waterpower Borehole Geotechnical Greater Sage-Grouse Winter Seasonal Timing Restrictions
Dear Ms. Herms, The Nevada Department of Wildlife (the Department) acknowledges White Pine Waterpower’s (the Proponent) request for an waiver to the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (2015 ARMPA) for the seasonal timing restrictions described under Management Decision (MD) SSS 3 D for winter seasonal use for B1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3 and TPL-4 and for access for B-2. Under MD SSS 3 D, seasonal restrictions would be applied in winter from November 1 through February 28 to prevent disturbing greater sage-grouse during seasonal life cycle periods. Much of the project area, especially near the bore sites, test pits, and access roads is currently mapped as greater sage-grouse (GRSG) winter habitat. Some areas not currently mapped as winter habitat in the 2015 ARMPA the Department classifies as winter habitat. The vegetation in the non-winter habitat is very similar, if not the same, as the vegetation that is mapped as winter habitat. Through incidental observations and professional experiences in this area, it is believed that winter habitat is more extensive than what is currently mapped, and the Department believes this habitat should be treated as such. The Schell/Antelope Population Management Unit (PMU) lek counts have declined 76% and 77% from the 10-year average and from 2019, respectively. Trend lek counts in the Schell/Antelope PMU and the Duck Creek Complex follow a similar trend, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, below.

We acknowledge that as written in the 2015 ARMPA, “The Authorized Officer may wave…” an environmental review and consultation with the appropriate state agency …determines that the described lands do not contain GRSG or suitable habitat or are otherwise incapable of serving the requirements of GRSG and therefore no longer warrant consideration as a component necessary for their protection.” However, the Department does not currently believe that these criteria can be met, or that waiver of the seasonal timing restriction is appropriate. Under the 2015 ARMPA, in order to grant a waiver to the winter seasonal timing restriction, environmental review and consultation between the BLM and the Department/Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) must determine that the described lands: “do no not contain GRSG or suitable habitat or are otherwise incapable of serving the requirements or GRSG”.

September 10, 2021 Brett Burgess and Luigi Resta White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Energies, LLC 201 S. Main St, Ste. 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Dear Mr. Burgess and Mr. Resta, We are pleased to inform you that, rPlus Energies, LLC has fulfilled their compensatory mitigation obligation for the White Pine Waterpower exploration project with the purchase of 9 credits, offsetting the 8 debits calculated using the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT), and are in compliance with State Mitigation Regulation NAC 232.400–232.480. However, the analysis does not account for timing or seasonal restrictions or impacts to other species which may require additional offsets or restrictions. The proposed direct anthropogenic disturbances have been analyzed using the HQT, and the calculation of debits was approved during the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team’s (SETT) Quality Assurance review. The SETT does not require any additional quantifications regarding sage-grouse mitigation. All subsequent phases or newly proposed surface disturbance will require a re-running of the HQT to analyze any additional impacts to sage-grouse habitats. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Kelly McGowan Program Manager Sagebrush Ecosystem Program

RE: White Pine Pumped Storage Project Geotechnical Study Dear Mr. McGowan, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), a subsidiary of rPlus Energies, is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range. The anticipated project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility that would require the construction of two new off-stream reservoirs joined by conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. One of the studies that is required to determine the feasibility of the larger White Pine Pumped Storage Project is a geotechnical study, consisting of exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities, to support the engineering and design of the project. To meet the objectives of the geotechnical study, the testing must be conducted in very specific locations. As shown in Figure 1, the geotechnical study consists of three borings and five test pits. Borehole B-1, which is entirely within Greater Sage-grouse (GrSG) winter habitat, and all five test pits, can be completed prior to the November 1 seasonal limitation. Boreholes B-2 and B-3 are not within winter habitat, but access to these sites on existing public roads goes through some areas of habitat classified as winter habitat. Figure 2 depicts project activities proposed after November 1. We have worked since September 2020 with BLM Bristlecone Field Office to obtain an SF-2920 permit to conduct the geotechnical study, including preparing a cooperator review draft, public draft, and final Environmental Assessment (EA). Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) is a cooperator in BLM’s process. Over the course of the last year, we have revised boring and test pit locations and access routes (within limits of study objectives) based on potential resource impacts (including potential impacts to GrSG and their habitat), obtained GrSG credits to offset impacts to GHMA habitat, and committed to numerous conditions in the permit. The geotechnical study will require up to 120 days to complete due to the time necessary to drill deep boreholes at B-2 and B-3. There are 45 days in the calendar year when there are no seasonal restrictions for GrSG – from September 15 to November 1. The BLM Decision Record for this project states that, “White Pine Waterpower will require a waiver from winter seasonal restrictions or an exception for Net Conservation Gain in designated Winter Habitat prior to conducting project activities in Designated Winter habitat between November 1 and February 28”. BLM requested a winter seasonal waiver from NDOW on August 23, 2021. Staff of the NDOW Habitat Division in Ely denied BLM’s request for the waiver by letter dated August 23, 2021, and we note that you were copied on this correspondence. Therefore, WPW requests a hearing before the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (SEC) during your October 1, 2021 meeting. WPW plans to propose additional minimization measures and alternative mitigation measures to provide for net conservation gain. We
remain open to further meaningful mitigation in order to improve GrSG habitat and support healthy GrSG populations. The decision timeline is critical for project execution and delays could negate mitigation measures proposed; therefore, WPW commits to providing the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) our minimization and mitigation proposals prior to October 1. The SETT will be able to review and analyze proposed mitigation measures ahead of the SEC meeting such that you can advise that day and a decision can be reached during the October 1 meeting.

The requested waiver, which is supported by BLM, is for winter seasonal use per Management Decision SSS 3D of the 2015 ARMPA and would allow the Proponent to obtain a Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the BLM for geotechnical sampling and exploration activities on BLM-managed lands, with certain activities taking place between November 1 and February 28 (Proposed Action, SF-2920 NVL0600, N-100140). The Proposed Action is described in the Proponent’s Environmental Assessment DOI-BLM-NV-L060-2021-0033-EA (EA). The EA received a Decision Record and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) from the BLM on September 3, 2021. Overall, the Proposed Action is critical to determining the subsurface characteristics and suitability for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. WPW would like to bring the below information to your attention as we look for ways to move forward while addressing NDOW’s and the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team’s (SETT) recently raised concern for potential impact to GrSG winter habitat. This letter includes clarifications of the requested waiver and Proposed Action, consideration for Nevada’s broader climate and habitat conservation objectives, justifications for seasonal restriction modification, and additional mitigation measures for consideration. THE REQUEST WPW respectfully requests a presentation before the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (SEC) during its scheduled October 1, 2021 meeting to request that the SEC, with concurrence from NDOW and SETT, consider alternative mitigation to achieve net conservation gain for GrSG winter habitat. In doing so, BLM, NDOW, and the SETT may approve a waiver for the 2015 ARMPA Winter Timing Limitation to carry out portions of the Proposed Activity during the winter season. Specifically, the waiver would allow the Proponent, between November 1 and February White Pine Waterpower, LLC

28, to drive along existing roads (approximately 20 trips per day), which cross portions of winter habitat (as defined in P.S Coates, et al. 2016), to reach Borehole B-2 and Borehole B-3, and complete drilling as described below and in the approved EA. To be clear, no borehole drilling would occur within the winter habitat regions. In support of obtaining a waiver for winter seasonal use, WPW looks forward to working further with the DCNR/SEC/SETT, NDOW, BLM and other agencies to apply further mitigation efforts as described below. BACKGROUND ON WHITE PINE PUMPED STORAGE PROJECT AND NEVADA CLIMATE GOALS Attachment 3 is a chronology of salient events illustrating WPW’s agency consultations and efforts-to-date related to the Proposed Action. As described in the EA, WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in the Duck Creek Range. The anticipated project would be a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage hydroelectric facility comprised of two new off-stream reservoirs joined by conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. WPW has initiated a licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, FERC will ultimately serve as the lead agency under the applicable National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and FERC Licensing process. WPW has and will continue to engage stakeholders and conduct resource studies that will inform FERC’s and cooperating agency’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. FERC has assigned Project No. 14851 to the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. When built, the project will contribute significantly to the local and regional economy and advance Nevada’s energy transition progress in alignment with the State of Nevada Climate Strategy and greenhouse gas reduction goals outlined in Nevada Executive Order 2019-22, SB 358, and SB 254. This Executive Order established clear directives related to taking action on climate change, inclusive but not limited to: “Section 1: State agencies within Executive branch of Nevada government shall collaborate, as applicable, to advance Nevada’s climate goals.” “Section 10. The administration shall coordinate as much as possible with federal bureaus and agencies that manage land and natural resources in Nevada to help advance the priorities identified in the Executive Order.” As described in the EA, the Proposed Action would consist of exploratory and geotechnical drilling activities, the results of which will support the ultimate engineering and design of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Due to the unique geophysical requirements for siting pumped storage hydro facilities, geotechnical testing must be conducted in very specific locations. As shown in Figure 1, and as further described in the EA and the section below, the proposed geotechnical study consists of three borings and five test pits. WPW has been working with the BLM Bristlecone Field Office since June 2020 to obtain an SF-2920 permit to conduct geotechnical studies. Consistent with applicable requirements under NEPA, WPW’s work with the BLM has included preparation of a cooperator agency review draft, public draft, and the EA. WPW has appreciated NDOW’s participation as a cooperator in BLM’s NEPA process. Over the course of the last year, WPW has revised boring and test pit locations and access routes (within limits of study objectives) based on potential resource impacts (including potential impacts to GrSG and their habitat), obtained GrSG credits to offset impacts to GHMA habitat, and committed to the conditions listed in the BLM’s Decision Record dated September 3, 2021. Specifically, the Decision Record included a requirement for “a waiver from winter seasonal restrictions or an exception for Net Conservation Gain in designated Winter Habitat prior to conducting project activities in Designated Winter habitat between November 1 and February 28.”

As described in the EA, it is anticipated that the Proposed Action (planned to commence as early as October 4, 2021, subject to NTP from BLM, and conclude in approximately mid-February 2022) would cause minimal impact to GrSG. Per the guidance of the SETT, the Proponent has, among other efforts, conducted analysis as required by Nevada Mitigation Regulation 232.400-232.480 and used the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT) to calculate and purchase nine Conservation Credit System (CCS) credits. It is WPW’s view that it has met the applicable mitigation requirements under the 2015 ARMPA through purchase of CCS credits, however WPW is willing to work with NDOW to apply further mitigative measures as further described below. PROPOSED ACTIVITY AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR SEASONAL RESTRICTION MODIFICATION The Proposed Action, as described in detail in Section 2.2 of the EA, would include three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3), five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4), and a temporary staging area. WPW would use existing roads to perform the geotechnical study and no new roads would be constructed. The Proposed Action will require up to 120 days to complete due mainly to the time necessary to drill deep boreholes at B-2 and B-3. There are 45 days in the calendar year, between September 15 and November 1, when there are no seasonal restrictions for GrSG. During the EA scoping period, biologists indicated that of any seasonal restriction periods, the winter period between November 1 and February 28 would be the next-best alternative for completing the Proposed Action, as opposed to other seasonal restriction periods. As discussed with BLM and NDOW/SETT, 45 days is enough time to complete the work at B-1 and the test pits, however it is insufficient time to complete all the Proposed Action, specifically at B-2 and B-3 – work at these sites would need to occur during the winter season. Borehole B-1 and Lower Test Pits 2, 3 and 4 are located within “moderate-quality” winter habitat1. Lower Test Pit 1 is located within “low-quality” classified winter habitat. With an October 4 issuance of the permit by BLM, we can complete all geotechnical study in the B-1 and TPL locations prior to November 1, completely avoiding activity at those locations during the GrSG winter season. Boreholes B-2 and B-3 and Upper Test Pit 1 are situated outside of winter habitat, but access to these sites would utilize existing roads, portions of which cross through winter habitat1. Work at B-2 and B-3 would also begin by October 4, 2021, however it would require up to 120 days to complete due to the time needed for drilling deeper boreholes. If it is NDOW’s practice to use the winter habitat areas available in P.S. Coates, et al. 20161 as shown in Figure 2, then Boreholes B-2 and B-3 are not within GrSG winter habitat. It is only portions of the access routes to these sites over existing public roads that overlap with winter habitat, and that is largely low-quality winter habitat. Denying a waiver for activities in GrSG winter habitat that amount to travel over existing roads where public travel is not restricted seems unfounded.

•
Access to B-2 would cross approximately 0.7 to 1.3 miles of access through winter habitat classified as “high quality”, approximately 0.9 to 1.6 miles of access through winter habitat classified as “medium quality” and approximately 1 miles through winter habitat classified as “low quality”. As put forth in the EA, approximately twenty (20) trips would occur each day for the duration of the activity.
•
Access to B-3 would cross approximately 1.7 miles of access through winter habitat classified as “low quality”1. As put forth in the EA, approximately twenty (20) trips would occur each day for the duration of the activity.

Figure 1 attached illustrates all of the locations of the Proposed Action that would commence by October 4, 2021 subject to NTP from the BLM. Figure 2 illustrates only those portions of the Proposed Action (B-2 and B-3) that would continue after November 1. Regarding the remaining geotechnical study locations, the 2015 ARMPA describes the winter restrictions for PHMA and GHMA in MD SSS 2 and MD SSS 3, respectively. All boring and test pit locations are in GHMA. The vast majority of the access routes are in PHMA and GHMA, with only a short segment of access route in OHMA. If NDOW is relying on the 2015 ARMPA (and not the 2016 model from Coates et al.) to guide a decision on seasonal restriction modification, it seems a modification may be justified due to “local variations” (MD SSS 2 and 3) in the vicinities of B-2 and B-3 access routes. For the B-3 access route, “long/heavy winter” (MD SSS 2 and 3) conditions may exist, permitting modification to the winter restriction under MD SSS 2 and MD SSS 3. And for the B-2 access route, local variations may include presence of existing public roads open to vehicular use, a generally heavy anthropogenic presence that has resulted in habitat degradation, and lack of any documentation of GrSG in these locations. We remain open to further meaningful mitigation requirements to improve GrSG habitat and support healthy GrSG populations. PROPOSED MITIGATION UPDATES Subject to further discussion with NDOW/SEC/SETT, WPW would like to consider the following mitigation strategies, in addition to the CCS Credits which it has already purchased, in support of obtaining a winter waiver. It should be noted the mitigations clarified in this letter are slightly modified from the Form for Proposed Activities in GRSG Habitat Management Areas request previously submitted on August 23, 2021 by the BLM and result in overall less activity occurring during the winter habitat period. •
Complete activities at B-1 and all 5 test pits prior to November 1. In the previously considered waiver request, NDOW/SEC/SETT factored activity at B1 and Test Pits 2, 3, 4. Eliminating activity at B1 and the Test Pits should be considered as favorable, and the impact calculations should be updated.
•
Include one or more full-time environmental monitors on-site during the Proposed Action activities occurring between November 1 and February 28 to monitor and ensure there is no “take” of GrSG or other special status species during work.
•
Purchase of additional CCS credits.
•
Further collaboration with NDOW/SETT to identify credit generating actions or compensatory mitigation, such as riparian habitat enhancement and conifer removal, or other credit generating actions on federal lands.
•
Additional habitat quantification efforts to support NDOW’s scientific efforts to develop habitat conservation methods that also consider the successful development of large-scale energy storage facilities in support of Executive Order 2021-18.
In closing, it is WPW’s view that the NDOW, along with the divisions of the DCNR, BLM and other public lands stewards, are uniquely positioned to affect the diverse benefits held in Nevada’s public lands, particularly through collaboration with developers of renewable energy, thereby supporting progress in the energy transition and White Pine Waterpower, LLC

mitigation of the threats of climate change. WPW notes that such collaboration is part of NDOW’s specific charter per the recent Executive Order 2021-18 and the establishment of a new Habitat Conservation Framework. WPW looks forward to working collaboratively with NDOW and related agencies to ensure encompassing and equitable outcomes for Nevadans and the state’s wildlife species alike, specifically regarding the integration of large-scale energy storage facilities. It is WPW’s view that, in the absence of any framework for mitigation specific to large scale energy storage development, per the guidance in Nevada Executive Order 2021-18, the NDOW, SEP, SETT and related agencies should work collaboratively with project proponents such as WPW to devise viable alternative mitigation strategies. It is WPW’s view that the approval of this specific winter waiver is an example of taking direct action in accordance with the clear guidance issued in Order 2021-18 and previously referenced Executive Orders. WPW appreciates NDOW and the DCNR/SEP’s consideration of the winter waiver. Given the long-lead nature unique to pumped storage hydro development, the decision timeline for the Proposed Action is critical and the overall project may be irreparably harmed due to inability to access this winter season. In summary, WPW respectfully requests approval of its waiver request and looks forward to discussing further mitigation efforts prior to the October 1 SEC meeting such that the SEC will be able to reach a decision during the meeting.

Because NDOW is a cooperating agency, a preliminary draft of the EA was sent to NDOW during the week of June 9, 2021 for a 21-day review.
•
NDOW comments received on the preliminary draft EA were delivered to BLM and rPlus’ NEPA contractor on June 18, 2021. The NEPA contractor incorporated responses to the comments into the public draft EA.
•
On July 17, 2021, WPW executed a Mitigation Credit Purchase Agreement with Secret Pass Ranch, LLC for the purchase of nine (9) Conservation Credit System (CCS) credits approved by the Nevada SETT for transfer and sale.
•
On July 30, 2021, the BLM published the public draft EA for a 14-day review.

•
NDOW submitted comments on the public draft EA on August 13, 2021. In these comments, for the first time, NDOW expressed concern about the habitat mapping in the area and about granting an exception or modification to any seasonal timing restriction.
•
On August 23, 2021, the BLM requested from NDOW a seasonal waiver for rPlus’ proposed activities in winter GrSG habitat. In BLM’s judgement, a winter seasonal waiver would not result in adverse impacts to GrSG.
•
By letter dated August 23, 2021, NDOW denied BLM’s request for the waiver.
•
On September 1, 2021, BLM and rPlus held a call with Kelly McGowan of SETT to further coordinate with the SETT.
•
On September 10, 2021 the NDOW and WPW fully executed Debit Project Review Form and Credit Fulfillment Summary pursuant to the Nevada Credit Conservation System. WPW secured 10 credits due to the required proximity ratio, as credits were not available for purchase in the same Population Management Unit (PMU) or Biologically Significant Management Unit (BSU) of the Geotechnical Study.
•
On September 13, 2021, rPlus, SETT, and NDOW held a conference call in which NDOW stated that no mitigation or minimization measures could be implemented that would allow NDOW to grant a seasonal waiver in winter 2021 or in late summer 2022. Caleb McAdoo, Moira Kolada, and Kody Menghini attended. At this time, NDOW/SETT had based their statements upon calculations run previously to WPW committing to completing B1 and Test Pits outside the Designated Winter seasonal restriction period.]

Following is the list of 9 clarification questions/points (Q) from NDOW. We believe this list was generated from the sage grouse review form we submitted to them on 9/9. The answers will assist in their review of the request for a waiver of the winter habitat seasonal timing restriction. Our drafted answers (A) are in blue text. Items for your action (F) in green text. Q1. line 2 starts on private property and in someone’s yard A1. We have no jurisdiction on private land, the permit would not authorize any activity on private land. WPWP is responsible for securing permission from the private land owner to access/use the private lands. FYI: The western RR track is also privately owned. I did not calculate the private land in the permit acreage or rental fee. ***** Q2. the only railroad crossing shown is on South Industrial. How is the railroad track going to be crossed with the truck? A2. By driving over it on the existing “open to the public” roads/crossings (blue lines on the map represent existing access roads).
F2. Is there enough ground clearance on the 23’ long vehicle to cross the tracks on the existing roads? I believe they are referring to the only RR crossing identified on the map you submitted with your application. It could be a misinterpretation. We just need to clarify. ***** Q3. Line 2 only has an access road to the west side. No existing access to the east side. How is the truck going to get back to the highway? A3. Moving the equipment on the east side of Line 1 to the east side of Line 2 would be off road in the GHMA in a ‘box’ type of pattern where vegetation would not be crossed more than once. Line 1 would follow an existing road where it traverses through the PHMA area. Line 2 would not go into PHMA. F3. This needs a little more clarification of where that off road travel would take place. Refer to F4 below. ***** Q4. Further description of “box” type and designated routes would be helpful. A4. Essentially, the path for the off road travel would connect Lines 1 and 2, and would create a project overview resembling a “box” pattern. F4. Please provide a more detailed itinerary for the project if possible. Starting/ending points, direction of travel, etc.
Be sure to include the location/path of the off road travel. What is the need for off road travel when there are existing roads in the area? ***** Q5. -the “maximum of 8 weeks” will put this activity into seasonal timing restrictions A5. Seasonal timing restrictions (STR) for Winter Habitat. Yes we are aware of that. An STR wavier was requested 9/30. F5. N/A ***** Q6. where will the ATV’s be unloaded since no other vehicles will be on site? A6. ATVs must be loaded/unloaded on existing disturbed areas as per the SG RDFs, unless on private land. F6. Please provide specific location for ATV loading/unloading. ***** Q7. where will the ATV’s travel on their one-way routes? A7. ATVs will travel with the seismic testing truck path and will transport personnel placing and removing the geophones. ATVs will NOT travel off of the existing roads. F7. N/A ***** Q8. Is being classified as a ROW? If not what land management action is it under? A8. FLPMA, Title III, Land Use Permit, CFR 2920 F8. N/A ***** Q9. has the SETT been consulted? A9. No. The proposed action did not meet the criteria for requiring consultation with the SETT. F9. N/A (Unless you have other information).
Please let me know if you have any questions or need to have a call about these. Thank you,

Hi All. Many of the rPlus team members are in the field this week and will not be able to attend this call, so I have cancelled the meeting this week and we will resume next week. One outstanding question from us is what NDOWs determination is regarding a waiver for working in winter habitat for the seismic reflection study. If NDOW has responded, please let us know via email so the engineers can plan accordingly. Talk to you next week! Thanks - Pam

Our team’s responses to the remaining questions are below in red. Please let me know if you have questions or require further clarification to respond to NDOW. Thanks - Pam Q1. line 2 starts on private property and in someone’s yard A1. The BLM has no jurisdiction on private land, the permit would not authorize any activity on private land. WPWP is responsible for securing permission from the private land owner to access/use the private lands. Q2. the only railroad crossing shown is on South Industrial. How is the railroad track going to be crossed with the truck? A2. By driving over the railroad on the existing “open to the public” roads/crossings on South Industrial Way. The Envirovibe 2 has a high ground clearance and is able to cross the tracks on the existing roads. Attached is a picture of the Envirovibe. Q3. Line 2 only has an access road to the west side. No existing access to the east side. How is the truck going to get back to the highway? A3. The equipment will access the eastern end of Line 1 by using the existing road from the south as shown on the attached figures. The equipment will cover the portion of Line 1 that is east of the active railroad tracks and then access the portion of Line 2 that is east of the active railroad tracks by off-road travel. The Envirovibe will travel between Line 1 and Line 2 in the GHMA using a “box” pattern, using defined 30-meter-wide routes and will not cross the same vegetation more than once. Once the portions of Line 1 and Line 2 that are east of the railroad have been surveyed, the equipment will travel back out using that same access road that crosses the approved “open to the public” roads/crossings on South Industrial Way. Q4. Further description of “box” type and designated routes would be helpful. A4. As shown on the attached figures, the 30-meter-wide designated routes for the off-road travel will connect the eastern portions of Line 1 and Line 2. The equipment will travel from the east of Line 1, traverse to the east of Line 2 and then return via a separate path to return to the access at Line 1. Line 1 and Line 2 locations were developed such that they cross the McGill Fault and the lower reservoir footprints. The target depth of imaging is ~500-1000’. To the extent practicable, the study lines are located on existing roads. Line 2 is extended off-road to image to this target depth. Lines will be laid out with the geoprobes and work will occur first on the east side of the railroad tracks and then the west side of the tracks. The project will start on the east side of Line 1 (east of the
railroad track) and then survey the east side of Line 2. Once the east side is complete, the west side of Line 1 will be studied and then the west side of Line 2. All off-road travel required for the east side of Line 2 will be complete prior to November 1. The survey on the west side of Line 2, which is entirely on existing road, may extend for a few days into November. Q5. -the “maximum of 8 weeks” will put this activity into seasonal timing restrictions A5. Seasonal timing restrictions (STR) for Winter Habitat. Yes we are aware of that. An STR wavier was requested 9/30. Q6. where will the ATV’s be unloaded since no other vehicles will be on site? A6. ATVs will be unloaded at the laydown yard at 720 Industrial Way and will cross the railroad at the approved crossing near South Industrial Way. Q7. where will the ATV’s travel on their one-way routes? A7. ATVs will travel with the seismic testing truck path and will transport personnel placing and removing the geophones. ATVs will NOT travel off of the existing roads, personnel will hike the offroad portions of the project to place and remove the geophones. Q8. Is being classified as a ROW? If not what land management action is it under? A8. FLPMA, Title III, Land Use Permit, CFR 2920 Q9. has the SETT been consulted? A9. No. The proposed action did not meet the criteria for requiring consultation with the SETT. Pam McWharter

Pam - Thank you for answering the questions from NDOW last week and I did receive your voice mails as well. The answers were sent to the WL biologist today for coordination with NDOW. That is something I apparently did not finish last week in the midst of multiple projects and urgent research requests. Unfortunately, I do not know how long it will take NDOW to respond about the waiver, I would presume they will want to address it very quickly.

Hi Caleb, To follow up on my voicemail from Friday, we understand that Moira Kolada was working on a response to the BLM request for a winter waiver for a seismic reflection study. However we also understand that she is on leave until November 4. Will you, or someone in your office, be able to provide this response in Moira’s absence? WPW has been waiting almost a month for a winter waiver determination in order to appropriately schedule the study activities, and at this juncture time is running short. A response from NDOW would be much appreciated. To folks on the CC line – this message has been resent to correct Caleb’s email address.

Good Afternoon Pamela, Thank you for your patience on this response. I will try and get you our formal response later this week. Unfortunately, I have had two covid instances in my immediate family that have kept me from being as attentive to work items such as this, and we are also generally short staffed as an agency right now for a variety of reasons. That being said, up and to last week we had been waiting on some answers to questions that we had when we initially received the sage-grouse form. We could not appropriately respond to the request without the answers to those questions. Thankfully, we received the answers to those questions last week which allowed us to begin drafting our formal response. I will try and provide this response this week, but I wanted to give you an informal response now for your immediate planning purposes so you aren’t held up any further. Based on the seasonal habitats in the area, reviewing the data, and assessing what we know regarding the status of sage-grouse in White Pine County (downward trend), statewide and west wide, the Department cannot support a waiver at this time. This is consistent with our position taken on other recent projects in the White Pine County. Hopefully this is sufficient for your planning purposes until such time that we can provide a more formal response. If you are unable to reach me, please reach out to Jasmine Kleiber (cc’d on this email) and she can assist you in my absence. Thank you, Caleb Sent from my iPhone On Oct 25, 2021, at 12:07 PM, McWharter, Pamela <Pamela.McWharter@hdrinc.com> wrote:

Hi Nancy, I spoke to our D2SI staff and they would be willing to having a phone call with your engineers following their review of the draft application. In regards to the timing of convening a Board of Consultants, if deemed necessary, they noted that we don’t typically do that for original projects until after a license issued; however, they noted that is due to applicants not typically starting in-depth project design until then. I noted that you all feel that you are further in the design process than we may typically see with other originals, so that’s something that your engineers can discuss with them following the filing of the draft application. Hope this helps. Tim

Attached is the formal response letter regarding the timing limitations for the Seismic Reflection Study. Also please note that the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) should be consulted as this project may meet the requirements for the Conservation Credit System (CCS). The SETT is the only agency who can determine if the CCS is required. If you have any questions please let us know. Moira

White Pine Waterpower Seismic Reflection Study: Request for Greater Sage-Grouse Winter Seasonal Timing Restrictions Relief
Dear Ms. Nohr, The Nevada Department of Wildlife (the Department) acknowledges White Pine Waterpower’s (the Proponent) request for relief from the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (2015 ARMPA) seasonal timing restrictions described under Management Decision (MD) SSS 2 E and MD SS 3 D for winter seasonal use for the Seismic Reflection Study. Under MD SSS 2 E and MD SS 3 D, seasonal restrictions would be applied in winter from November 1 through February 28 to prevent disturbing greater sage-grouse (GRSG) during seasonal life cycle periods. The project area is currently mapped asGRSG winter habitat. While there are some very small areas not currently mapped as winter habitat in the 2015 ARMPA, the Department considers those areas contiguous winter habitat based on certain vegetation characteristics. The vegetation in the “non-winter” habitat areas is very similar, or the same, as the vegetation that is currently mapped as winter habitat. Through incidental observations and professional experiences in this area, it is believed that winter habitat is more extensive than what is currently mapped, and the Department believes this habitat should be treated as such. Additionally, the Schell/Antelope Population Management Unit (PMU) lek counts have declined 76% and 77% from the 10-year average and from 2019, respectively. Trend lek counts in the Schell/Antelope PMU, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Schell/Antelope PMU Trend Lek Counts. Year Males Counted 2017 2019 2021
115 80 31
Percent decline compared to current year 73% 63% ---
The Department would like to relay concerns regarding proposed activity(ies) during seasonal timing restrictions in effect from November 1 through February 28 may have negative impacts on wintering GRSG, and this PMU is already exhibiting negative trends in population numbers. As such, we cannot at this time support activities occurring during the timing limitations described in the 2015 ARMPA. We greatly appreciate BLM’s continued collaboration on this project. Should you need clarification on any of the information provided, or require additional information, please contact me or Moira Kolada at 775-289-1655 ext. 5 or by email at mkolada@ndow.org.

Jared and Alicia, The WPW seismic reflection study (authorized October 18 to November 30 2021) will not be conducted this year due to the denial for relief from the GrSG winter seasonal timing restriction. WPW now plans to conduct this study next year. Can this permit be extended to expire next year on October 31 2022? WPW would also like to request relief from the GrSG late brood seasonal timing restriction so the study can be conducted in the summer. Please let us know if there are questions or more information is needed for this extension request.

Jared stated that Alicia was still working on it (expected completion was end of last week), and that once completed he would be drafting a letter to the “interested parties” and arranging an in-person meeting to go over the results of the evaluation. I indicated to him that rPlus would like to attend such a meeting and that we were looking forward to receiving the letter. I followed up with a phone call yesterday to Jared to see if there was any news in this regard, and learned that Jared is on vacation this week, returning on Monday. Alicia Hankins was tele-working yesterday. I called her and left a message to see if there was any kind of update. This morning I called back to the BLM office and learned that she is also now on vacation until Monday. So, if I don’t hear from either of them on Monday, I will be calling one or the other of them on Monday afternoon, to see if there is any update.

Hello Nancy, I have been asked to complete a disturbance cap calculation for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Does the BLM keep an active GIS database with existing disturbance layers in PHMA habitat that you would be able to provide? I have the anthropogenic feature data provided by the SETT each year for CCS calculations, but noticed the buffers are a little different when comparing those shapefiles to the Anthropogenic Disturbance Types listed in Table E-1 of Appendix E of the 2015 ARMPA. Alternatively, do you already have an acreage calculation for exiting disturbance within PHMA in the East High Desert and Butte/Buck/WhitePine BSU’s? Thanks and I greatly appreciate any advice and assistance.

Luigi Resta rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2100 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Kimberly D. Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426 United States Via E-Mail and USPS February 17, 2022 Re: White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851), Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project Dear Secretary Bose: rPlus Hydro, LLLP (rPlus), on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), is pleased to formally file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), a Draft License Application (Draft Application) for the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851 (Project). WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of FERC’s regulations. WPW electronically filed with FERC the Draft Application. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt. In compliance with FERC’s regulations, FERC has 90 days from the date of this letter to review the Draft Application and provide comments. After receipt of your comments, rPlus will prepare and file with FERC a Final License Application. As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for FERC review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve. We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions you provide.
Project Overview rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed-loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry to promote development of clean energy sources2. While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements.

Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While the FERC process has progressed, WPW also has engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final Application later this year, FERC will begin, in coordination with the BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act, and we anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands. The Draft License Application The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes
preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Next Steps We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your team to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or FERC’s process. Written comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss those comments with your team once they are received. If you have any questions regarding the Draft Application or the review and comment process, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223. Sincerely,
Luigi Resta President/CEO rPlus Hydro, LLLP Cc: Tim Konnert, West Branch Chief

Introduction This Environmental Report provides an analysis of the environment in the vicinity of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project; FERC No. 14851) as well a preliminary analysis of the effects of the Project on that environment. White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project, which will be located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project would entail the construction of a new 1,000 megawatt (MW), closed-loop, pumped storage facility comprised of two new reservoirs joined by conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. WPW has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. WPW filed an application for a Preliminary Permit for the Project with FERC on July 12, 2017. FERC issued a Preliminary Permit to WPW on October 25, 2017. WPW filed with FERC a Pre-Application Document (PAD), a Notice of Intent (NOI) to File a License Application, and Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) on May 15, 2020. On July 13, 2020, FERC granted WPW authorization to use the TLP to license the Project. WPW held a Joint Agency Public Meeting and Site Visit with interested stakeholders on September 1, 2020. FERC extended the term of the Preliminary Permit by order dated September 25, 2020. The consultation record is attached as Appendix A. During this process, WPW has engaged stakeholders and implemented a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. In coordination with the interested stakeholders and resource agencies, the following studies were performed in support of licensing the Project: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Aquatic Resources Delineation Study Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study Recreation Resources Study Cultural Resources Study Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Socioeconomic Study
The reports of these studies are attached as Appendices B through I, respectively. This Environmental Report presents available, existing information and information obtained through recent studies to characterize the affected environment of the following resource areas: geologic and soil resources; water resources; fish and aquatic resources; terrestrial resources; rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) resources; recreation resources; land use; cultural resources; aesthetic resources; and socioeconomic resources.

environmental effects as well as proposed protection, mitigation, and enhancement (PM&E) measures are also presented for each resource area. In accordance with 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §4.38(c)(5), interested stakeholders will have 90 days to provide comments on this Draft License Application (DLA). WPW will incorporate stakeholder comments into the Final License Application (FLA) to be filed with FERC.
1.1
Purpose of Action and Need for Power
1.1.1
Purpose of Action The purpose of the proposed action is to construct a 1,000 megawatt (MW), closed-loop, pumped storage facility, generating renewable electricity and adding power to the existing electricity grid. This will require the Commission to determine whether to grant an application for the construction and operation of hydroelectric and related facilities in compliance with the Federal Power Act (FPA) requirements and other applicable laws (Section 1.2, Statutory and Regulatory Requirements). An original license will allow WPW to construct and operate the proposed Project. In deciding whether to issue a license for a hydroelectric project, the Commission must determine that the project will be best adapted to a comprehensive plan for improving or developing a waterway. In addition to the power and developmental purposes for which licenses are issued (e.g., flood control, irrigation, and water supply), the Commission must give equal consideration to the purposes of energy conservation; the protection, mitigation or damage to and enhancement of fish and wildlife (including related spawning grounds and habitat); the protection of recreational opportunities; and the preservation of other aspects of environmental quality.
1.1.2
Need for Pumped Storage Hydropower Pumped storage hydropower is a commercially proven, grid-scale, energy storage and grid-reliability and stabilization technology, which is increasingly needed in the western U.S. as new renewable energy sources are developed and older coal and nuclear-powered baseload generation facilities are retired. Renewable energy sources often generate power during periods of low demand. The Project will use this off-peak or excess available energy to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir and will be able to store up to 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity (in an 8-hour operating cycle) during periods of low demand and return the stored energy to the grid during periods of peak demand. In addition to providing an economical supply of peaking power, the Project will provide other electric system ancillary services, such as operating reserves and voltage and frequency support, that are critically important for a stable transmission grid, thus facilitating the continued integration of renewable energy in the region. If the license application is denied and the Project is not constructed as a result, consequences would include the following:

•
The region would be more restricted in its choice of tools for integrating and firming renewable resources, placing more reliance on a technology (batteries) that is more expensive over the long-term than the proposed Project and which entails risks for ratepayers and the environment.
•
Transmission build-out planned for the area could see less effective utilization from technical and economic standpoints. The proposed Project and its point of interconnection are located at an emerging strategic crossroads of transmission development (including NV Energy’s Greenlink Project and potentially the northern extension of the SWIP North Transmission Line and the proposed Cross-Tie Transmission Line) that is intended to facilitate the movement and delivery of lowcarbon energy resources both within and through the State of Nevada. License denial and consequent non-construction of the Project would eliminate the potential for a major management tool for numerous regional entities responsible for the procurement and delivery of power.
•
White Pine County would lose property tax revenues in the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the Project, along with thousands of employment jobyears in construction and operation and associated indirect income and spending. The State of Nevada would also lose significant property tax income that is specifically dedicated to the advancement of renewable energy development in the State.
•
White Pine County would lose an opportunity to put to beneficial use the industrial water rights that it was originally granted for energy project development.
Statutory and Regulatory Requirements This section briefly describes the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements that must be addressed as part of the licensing process. An original license for the Project is subject to numerous requirements under the FPA and other statutes. Major regulatory and statutory requirements are summarized in Table 1.2-1 and some are described below.

Additional regulatory and statutory requirements that are typically applicable to hydropower projects are not applicable to the proposed Project. Section 18 fishway prescriptions are not applicable because the proposed Project is a closed-loop, pumped storage facility, not connected to any existing surface water source that may cause a barrier to fish movement. The Project is also located outside of the coastal zone, and consistency with the Coastal Zone Management Act is, therefore, not applicable. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is also not applicable to the proposed action because no portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary 1 will be located on or adjacent to an area designated as part of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers system. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act is also not applicable to the proposed Project because

there is no Essential Fish Habitat in the vicinity and the Project will not be connected to any surface water sources.
1.2.1
Federal Power Act
1.2.1.1
Section 4(e) Conditions Section 4(e) of the FPA provides that any license issued by the Commission for a project within a federal reservation shall be subject to and contain such conditions as the Secretary of the responsible federal land management agency deems necessary for the adequate protection and use of the reservation. WPW will continue to consult with the BLM throughout the licensing process. To date, no federal management agency has filed Section 4(e) conditions.
1.2.1.2
Section 10(j) Recommendations Under Section 10(j) of the FPA, each hydroelectric license issued by the Commission must include conditions based on recommendations provided by federal and state fish and wildlife agencies for the PM&E measures of fish and wildlife resources affected by the project. The Commission is required to include these conditions unless it determines that they are inconsistent with the purposes and requirements of the FPA or other applicable law. Before rejecting or modifying an agency recommendation, the Commission is required to attempt to resolve any such inconsistency with the agency, giving due weight to the recommendations, expertise, and statutory responsibilities of such agency. WPW will continue to consult with NDOW and USFWS throughout the licensing process. To date, no resource agencies have filed Section 10(j) recommendations. WPW does not anticipate that fisheries-related conditions will be recommended, because the Project is not connected to any existing surface water source that may cause a barrier to fish movement or otherwise impact fisheries.
1.2.2
Federal Land Policy and Management Act The BLM Bristlecone Field Office in Ely would determine whether to grant a permit for use of BLM-managed lands for the Project. Rights-of-way and other land uses are recognized as major uses of the public lands and are authorized pursuant to Sections 302 and 501 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. BLM will evaluate the Project to determine if it is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) (BLM 2008a, the Ely District RMP), as amended. The Goals and Objectives of the RMP include managing public lands in a manner that: •
“meets public, local, state, and federal agency needs for use authorizations such as rights-of-way, permits, leases, and easements while avoiding or minimizing adverse impacts to other resource values;”
February 2022 | 5
Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
•
“respond[s] to public, local, state, and federal agency needs for land for community development, utility and other associated rights-of-way, communication sites, and other allowed uses of BLM-administered lands;”
•
“provide[s] opportunities for development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative energy sources while minimizing adverse impacts to other resources;” and
•
Is “responsive to applications for renewable energy sites and associated rightsof-way, as encouraged by current BLM policy.”
BLM is also guided by the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater SageGrouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA; BLM 2015). WPW proposes to continue to coordinate with BLM to adopt measures to ensure compliance with the RMP and the ARMPA or request amendments and/or waivers, as appropriate and necessary. If the Project is not in conformance with the BLM’s land use plans, BLM would decide if an amendment to the RMP would be required. The RMP provides for amendments, stating “Where the BLM considers taking or approving actions that will alter or not conform to the overall direction of the Approved Plan, the BLM will prepare a plan amendment or revision and environmental analysis of appropriate scope.” (BLM 2008a). WPW will continue to consult with the BLM throughout the licensing process.
1.2.3
Clean Water Act Under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), a license applicant for an activity that may result in a discharge into navigable waters must obtain certification from the appropriate state water quality agency verifying compliance with the CWA. The requirement can also be waived. WPW will consult with the NDEP to determine if a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) will be required for the Project. As a closed-loop facility, the Project will not involve a discharge into navigable waters. It is, therefore, expected that a WQC will not be required for the Project.
1.2.4
Endangered Species Act Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires federal agencies to ensure that their actions are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of the critical habitat of such species. By FERC letter order dated July 13, 2020, WPW has been designated as the Commission’s non-federal representative for carrying out informal consultation, pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA. WPW will continue to consult with the USFWS throughout the licensing process.

A list of ESA-listed species potentially occurring within the Project Area 2 was prepared using the USFWS Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) website in September 2021. The USFWS IPaC System identified White River springfish (Crenichthys baileyi baileyi), Hiko White River springfish (Crenichthys baileyi grandis), and White River spinedace (Lepidomeda albivallis) as endangered listed species having the potential to occur within the Project Area. However, the Project Area is outside the known range of the three listed fish species. Additionally, no designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed aquatic species occurs within the Conceptual Project Boundary. Finally, the Project will be a closed-loop facility that is not connected to any existing surface waters and whose initial reservoir fill will come from groundwater sources, and therefore no impacts are anticipated on aquatic species in the Project area. The IPaC also listed the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as a candidate species having the potential to occur within the Project Area. This consultation is included in Appendix J.
1.2.5
National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires the Commission to consider the effect of licensing a hydropower project on historic properties, and to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Advisory Council) a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed action. "Historic properties" are defined as any district, site, building, structure, or object that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register or NRHP). By FERC letter order dated July 13, 2020, WPW has been designated as the Commission’s non-federal representative for carrying out informal consultation pursuant to Section 106 of the NHPA. WPW will continue to consult with the NSHPO throughout the licensing process.
1.3
Consultation The Commission's regulations (18 CFR, section 4.38) require that applicants consult with appropriate resource agencies, tribes, and other entities before filing an application for a license. This consultation is the first step in complying with the federal statutes discussed above. WPW is committed to a thorough consultation process and has met with interested resource agencies and stakeholders throughout the licensing process. WPW has coordinated with BLM, NDOW, NSHPO, and White Pine County, among other stakeholders, regarding the plans for the resource studies listed in Section 1.0 Introduction. The study reports are provided as appendices to this document. WPW also consulted with BLM, NDOW, and the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) regarding potential impacts on the greater sage-grouse and other sensitive resources and worked with these stakeholders during the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) for WPW’s geotechnical study (BLM 2021). A website was developed to aid in consultation and is available at http://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com/. WPW has utilized the TLP

2.2
Applicant’s Proposal The Project will consist of an off-stream, closed-loop, pumped storage facility with an upper and lower reservoir having approximately 2,100 feet of maximum gross head. Other features will include a vertical shaft, underground water conveyance tunnels, underground powerhouse with a generator step-up transformer cavern, 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line(s), an outdoor switchyard, access roads and tunnels, a transmission cable tunnel, and other appurtenant facilities. Equipment is tentatively proposed to consist of three 333 MW, variable-speed, reversible pump-turbines totaling 1,000 MW of generating capacity with the Project having an overall energy storage capacity of 8,000 MWh. Total annual gross energy production is projected at approximately 2,400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) (assuming operation for 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, 50 weeks per year).
2.2.1
Project Facilities Major Project facilities are discussed below. Project facilities including pump-turbines, generator-motors, and appurtenant equipment are described in greater detail in Exhibit A of this DLA.
2.2.1.1
Upper Dam and Reservoir The upper reservoir will be formed by limited excavation and construction of a dam to achieve the required storage volume for 8 hours of operation. The dam is proposed to be an approximately 170-foot maximum height, lined, rockfill structure with a 25-foot-wide crest to provide vehicle access around the rim of the reservoir. At normal maximum water level, 5 feet of freeboard is proposed, which is sufficient to contain the entire water volume that can be associated with an over-pumping event combined with a probable maximum flood event without overtopping. The freeboard is also sufficient to contain wave run-up during normal operation. Therefore, no spillway is required because there will be no discharge that requires a spillway. There is no inflow to the upper reservoir from external sources, which means that there is no flood flow into the upper reservoir. More information on probable maximum precipitation events is provided in Exhibit A. Both the dam and reservoir are designed with a liner to reduce water losses from seepage and leakage. Additional characteristics of the upper reservoir and dam are provided in Table 2.2-1.

Lower Dam and Reservoir The lower reservoir will be formed by a combination of excavation and construction of a dam with the excavated material. The dam will be a 134-foot maximum height embankment with a 25-foot-wide crest that will provide vehicle access around the rim of the reservoir. There will be 4 feet of freeboard at normal maximum water level, which is sufficient to contain wave run-up during normal operation. The reservoir will be sized to contain the volume required for the initial fill of the Project, including waterways, plus adequate freeboard to contain a probable maximum precipitation event. There is no inflow to the lower reservoir from external sources, which means that there is no flood flow into the lower reservoir. A small spillway will be provided to pass the highly unlikely combination of a full reservoir plus over-pumping from the well field. The spillway will include an energy dissipation structure and flow into an open conveyance channel. A low-level outlet will be provided for emergency drawdown of the lower reservoir. A 20-inch-diameter outlet will be sufficient to meet dam safety emergency drawdown requirements. The low-level outlet will empty onto the spillway chute. Both the dam and reservoir will be lined to reduce water losses from seepage. Additional characteristics of the lower reservoir and dam are provided in Table 2.2-2.

The low-level outlet and the spillway works at the lower reservoir are located in the southwest corner of the reservoir. Both are proposed to evacuate their respective flows via a short riprap-lined canal connecting to the adjacent draw located immediately south of the lower reservoir.
2.2.1.3
Low-Level Outlet The low-level outlet works will consist of a bellmouth intake structure on the inside face of the dam positioned at the minimum operating level and an outlet structure at the existing February 2022 | 10

ground elevation at the downstream toe of the dam. These will be connected by a conduit through the dam. The conduit will be installed inside a concrete culvert that is permanently accessible. In this culvert, a maintenance valve and a flow control valve will be installed at the upstream extremity of the conduit. Both valves will be accessible at all times for operation and maintenance via the concrete culvert. At the downstream extremity of the bottom outlet, the conduit will empty onto the spillway above the energy dissipation structure. The inlet structure for the low-level outlet will be protected by a trashrack. In normal conditions (i.e., when the maintenance and control valves are closed), the lowlevel outlet conduit will be under atmospheric pressure downstream of the valves and at the pressure of the reservoir upstream of the valves. The pressurized portion of the conduit will not be in contact with the dam material since it will be fully embedded in the concrete inlet structure.
2.2.1.4
Lower Reservoir Spillway The lower reservoir is designed to include a spillway above the low-level outlet. The spillway is proposed to consist of a bellmouth inlet structure with invert at the full supply level leading to a conduit crossing the embankment and following the downstream embankment slope supported by concrete blocks. The spillway conduit is proposed to terminate at the energy dissipation structure that is shared with the low-level outlet. The spillway inlet structure has been sized to evacuate the maximum cumulative discharge of the Project’s water supply wells. Over-pumping from the well field is highly improbable and can only occur if interlocking shutoffs for well field pumping from both electrical and mechanical lower reservoir level sensing devices fail, along with plant operators not observing over-pumping condition during the 14- to 15-day time period it would take for the well field pumps, if running continuously, to raise the level of the lower reservoir from the maximum operating level to the spillway sill level. Thereafter, the excess pumping flow would spill over the uncontrolled sill at the spillway inlet structure. Rainfall events on the reservoirs and associated peak discharge do not govern the required spillway capacity since their volume would be contained within the reservoir freeboard. The spillway has been sized to evacuate 8.9 cfs (4,000 gallons per minute [gpm]), which is the maximum cumulative discharge of the well pumps. The spillway inlet structure sill positioned at elevation 6,435 feet (full supply level) will be 10 feet long and protected by a trashrack. A 14-inch-diameter free-flow conduit will connect the spillway inlet structure to the energy dissipation structure shared with the low-level outlet works.
2.2.1.5
Upper Reservoir Intake/Outlet Structure The Project will have an un-gated vertical intake/outlet located at the bottom of the upper reservoir. The intake/outlet is designed as a bellmouth-type structure followed by a 65-foot-high transition structure to provide efficient hydraulic flow into the 20-foot-diameter vertical shaft. The structure has a top hood designed as a vortex suppression device and as a means to achieve an efficient radial flow distribution. The hood will include a February 2022 | 11

10-foot-diameter access hole for future inspection and maintenance operation in the shaft. This hole will be plugged by a removable, conical-shaped, steel plug that also helps in stabilizing and distributing the flow during pumping mode operation. The eight piers installed on top of the bellmouth that support the hood comprise eight equal 16-foot x 16-foot clear openings organized as an octagon-shaped structure. These openings will be fitted with eight trashrack sets that can be accessed and removed from the top of the hood when the reservoir is dewatered. The intake/outlet structure of the upper reservoir will be designed for a maximum approach velocity of 3 feet per second (fps) at the net trashrack area.
2.2.1.6
Lower Reservoir Intake/Outlet Structure The lower reservoir intake/outlet structure is designed as a horizontal, fan-shaped diffusor to reduce and equally distribute flow velocity at the end trashrack section during both pumping and generation. The structure will be fitted with a pair of 10-foot by 25-foot-wide stoplog sluices and associated slots and ventilation pipe to allow the installation of stoplogs to isolate the reservoir from the tailrace tunnel. The horizontal lower reservoir intake/outlet will be designed for a maximum approach velocity of 3 fps at the net trashrack area. The intake/outlet structure subdivides the flow first in two and finally in four rectangular conduits, each with maximum dimensions of 33 feet high by 16 feet wide at the trashrack plane. An approach channel will be excavated at the bottom of the lower reservoir to ensure adequate intake submergence and hydraulically acceptable approach flow conditions to minimize risk of air-entraining vortex formation. For the construction of the tailrace tunnel for which the portal is located in alluvium deposits, a permanent concrete retaining wall will be built in advance of lower reservoir excavations to provide a safe tailrace tunnel portal with a minimum cover at the crown of 1.5 times the tunnel diameter. Finally, a bridge will connect the top of the stoplog tower to the rim of the reservoir on the east side. The purpose of this bridge is to allow safe installation and removal of the stoplogs at any stage during construction and operation.
2.2.1.7
Water Conveyance Between Reservoirs The water conveyances will consist of a vertical intake/outlet structure in the upper reservoir connected to a 20-foot-diameter, 2,260-foot-high vertical shaft that transitions to a 20-foot-diameter, 240-foot-long horizontal high pressure headrace tunnel. The headrace tunnel will connect to three 11-foot-diameter penstocks. The vertical shaft and horizontal headrace tunnel will be lined with concrete to improve hydraulic characteristics and to reduce seepage into adjacent rock. The penstocks will be steel-lined and will include a turbine main inlet valve just upstream of each pump-turbine.

Each pump-turbine draft tube will connect to three 12.8-foot-diameter, steel-lined, draft tube tunnels, which will combine into a 22-foot-diameter, concrete-lined tailrace tunnel that terminates at the lower reservoir intake/outlet structure.
2.2.1.8
Powerhouse and Transformer Caverns The powerhouse structure will be an underground cavern (powerhouse cavern) with approximate dimensions of 370 feet long by 80 feet wide by 150 feet high. The powerhouse will include the generating and pumping mechanical equipment described below. A separate generator step-up transformer cavern is proposed to connect to the powerhouse by three tunnels that will provide access and that will also house the power electronics necessary for the variable-speed units. The proposed transformer cavern will house the generator step-up transformers, one for each pump-turbine unit, and also draft tube gates that can be used to completely isolate the pump-turbines from the lower reservoir. The transformer cavern is proposed to be approximately 300 feet long by 60 feet wide by 60 feet high. Access to the powerhouse and transformer caverns is proposed to be via the following constructed tunnels: a 4,290-foot-long, shotcrete-lined access tunnel; a 4,950-foot-long, shotcrete-lined cable tunnel; and temporary construction tunnels added to assist in the construction of the powerhouse and transformer caverns. Road access to the tunnel portals is described below.
2.2.1.9
Pump-Turbines The Project is proposed to include three 333 MW (rated power), variable-speed, reversible Francis-type pump-turbines, providing a total of 1,000 MW of generating power and pumping load. The rated head for each unit (in generating mode) is proposed to be approximately 2,034 feet, resulting in approximately 2,143 cfs flow at full generating power and 1,593 cfs at full pumping power.
2.2.1.10 Generator-Motors The Project is proposed to include three 350 megavolt-ampere (333 MW @ 0.95 pf), 18 kV generator-motors, each connected to one of the three pump-turbines and each with variable speed technology that allows load following and frequency control in both the turbine and pump modes of operation. The equipment will provide overall cycle efficiency for pumping and generating of approximately 77 percent. The estimated annual energy generation for operation assuming 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, 50 weeks per year is 2,400 GWh.
2.2.1.11 Switchyard The design of the new 345 kV switchyard for pump-turbine/generator-motor operation/collection will utilize a single bus configuration. The switchyard footprint will be approximately 400 feet wide by 370 feet long and it will be located adjacent to a common portal yard area for the powerhouse access and transmission tunnels to minimize the underground transmission cable route from the tunnel to the switchyard.

underground collector lines from the transmission tunnel will tap into three 345 kV circuit breaker positions, each rated at 1,200 amperes. The collector circuit breakers will tap into one 345 kV circuit breaker position rated at 2,000 amps via aluminum bus and then transition into one overhead transmission line position that will route to and tap into the NV Energy Robinson Summit 345/525 kV Substation (Robinson Summit Substation) interconnection location.
2.2.1.12 Transmission Lines Approximately 28 miles of 345 kV transmission line will be constructed to connect the Project to the Robinson Summit Substation located 18 miles northwest of Ely, Nevada. The line will be constructed within a right-of-way (ROW) with a maximum width of 250 feet. Preliminary drawings for the transmission line are provided in Exhibit F Drawings F-31 through F-47. The transmission ROW will cross both public and private lands. Approximately 114 transmission structures measuring 150 feet tall will be located approximately 1,000 feet apart along the length of the transmission line. A separate high-voltage cable tunnel is proposed for the high-voltage generator-motor conductors between the generator step-up transformers in the underground transformer cavern located next to the powerhouse cavern and the outdoor switchyard. A 4,290-footlong, 16-foot-diameter, modified-horseshoe-shaped tunnel with vertical walls and lined with approximately 4 inches of shotcrete will be constructed from the transformer cavern to the tunnel portal with a maximum 15-percent grade. Eighteen underground 345 kV cables, three medium-voltage underground power cables, and two underground fiberoptic cables will be supported along the walls of the tunnel to connect the generator step-up transformers and the outdoor switchyard. At the new outdoor switchyard, the three underground circuits will combine into a single 345 kV transmission line to connect the new outdoor switchyard to the Robinson Summit Substation. The line will consist of an “H” frame tangent structure, multiple pole-angle turning structures, and two Falcon 1590 kcmil aluminum conductor steel-reinforced conductors, or approved equivalent, per phase. Control power will be supplied by two station service step-down transformers in the powerhouse cavern and transmitted along the transmission tunnel to the switching station, where the power will be transformed to 120/240 V for use at the switching station and the tunnel entrance facilities. Back-up power is proposed to be provided by a distribution tap line from the Mt. Wheeler Power Cooperative distribution line west of the switching station. The two systems will be joined together by primary transformation to allow the powerhouse to draw power from the distribution line when necessary.
2.2.1.13 Access Roads The Project will require new permanent and temporary construction access roads. Some temporary access roads will be converted to permanent Project access roads for maintenance, operation, and inspection activities. Other temporary access roads will be decommissioned following construction completion. Project access roads are identified in February 2022 | 14

Exhibit F Drawings F-5 and F-6. As the Project design advances, the proposed locations and uses of access roads may be revised. WPW continues to consider and evaluate alternative access routes to reduce and eliminate potential impacts to land, resources, and habitat. At this time, WPW plans to access the upper dam and reservoir area from White Pine County Road 29. There is an existing parking lot and entrance to the back country for recreational purposes, but a new Project-specific entrance is proposed approximately a quarter of a mile north of that parking area. The access road is proposed to cross Duck Creek, which flows immediately adjacent to White Pine County Road 29. A new bridge is proposed to minimize any construction impacts to Duck Creek. The proposed access road alignment follows existing four-wheel drive trails to the location of the upper reservoir and dam. Grading is expected to be required to provide the necessary width and horizontal curve radii. The length of the proposed access road to the location of the upper reservoir dam is approximately 3.9 miles. A second, 1.3-mile-long access road to the upper reservoir is expected to be necessary. In addition, roads along the crest and along the base of the upper reservoir dam are proposed to facilitate inspection of the downstream face and for instrumentation monitoring along the toe. Construction road access to the lower dam and reservoir construction area is anticipated to be provided through a new and separate entrance from Highway 93. This route is proposed to provide both construction and permanent access to the lower dam and reservoir. The length of the road to the base of the lower dam is approximately 0.6 miles. In addition, roads along the crest and along the base of the lower reservoir dam are proposed to facilitate inspection of the downstream face and for instrumentation monitoring along the toe. An access road is proposed for the powerhouse tunnel portals. Two tunnels are proposed for redundant permanent access and to facilitate material hauling during construction of the underground facilities. In addition to the surface roads presented above, access roads will be proposed for quarry sites and laydown and yard areas. Access to the reservoir crest roads is proposed to be provided by roads up the outside slope of each dam. Access to the road around each of the dams is proposed to allow machinery and equipment to perform maintenance and conduct repairs to the intakes, dams, and dam and reservoir lining.
2.2.1.14 Groundwater and Conveyance System The initial fill water and make-up water for losses from seepage, leakage, and evaporation is proposed to be supplied by local groundwater. Water is proposed to be supplied to the Project from existing groundwater rights as governed by a water supply and options agreement that was formally approved by the White Pine Board of County Commissioners on February 24, 2021. The water will be obtained from four new groundwater wells in the Steptoe Valley, located south of the lower reservoir. The water is proposed to be delivered to the lower reservoir via a new conveyance system network composed of well pumps, buried piping, valves, and associated instrumentation. The wells are proposed to be installed to a depth of about 800 feet with 14-inch casings. Each well is proposed to contain February 2022 | 15

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
a submersible pump capable of continuously producing approximately 1,000 gpm, resulting in 3,000 gpm for the system with 1,000 gpm redundant reserve. A smaller well is proposed to be located near the upper reservoir for construction use and later operations and maintenance use. The initial fill process is anticipated to take between 12 and 18 months. Water produced by the well field is proposed to be discharged from individual wells to a pipeline system initially sized at 8 inches in diameter, and then increasing in diameter as additional well production is added and line capacity requirements increase nearer the lower reservoir. The Nevada State Engineer is currently processing the permits necessary for the installation of these wells. The well field pumping array is proposed to consist of a series of four production wells and a buried pipeline arranged along a roughly 4-mile north/south axis south of the lower reservoir (Figure 1-1). The well field design is based on a maximum system pumping capacity of 4,000 gpm with a nominal discharge rate of 3,000 gpm needed to accomplish the initial fill of the lower reservoir. A production rate of 3,000 gpm allows filling of the lower reservoir while avoiding substantial drawdown impacting local water uses. A redundant production capacity of 1,000 gpm (33%) is included in the design maximum discharge rate to mitigate potential downs of individual wells due to unanticipated equipment failures during the initial fill.
2.2.1.15 Area Lighting Operating exterior lighting will be minimal following construction. The majority of the Project’s electromechanical equipment is proposed to be contained underground within the powerhouse and transformer caverns. Area lighting on the surface would consist of safety lighting around primary support facilities (switchyard, potential office area, maintenance garages, workshops, equipment storage areas, etc.) and is proposed to incorporate both the International Dark Sky Association criteria and OSHA outdoor workplace safety requirements.
2.2.2
Project Safety As part of the licensing process, FERC will review the adequacy of the proposed Project facilities. FERC staff will inspect the licensed Project both during and after construction. Inspection during construction will concentrate on adherence to FERC-approved plans and specifications. The Project will be constructed and operated using industry standard means, methods, and materials in accordance with FERC’s Dam Safety Program.
2.2.3
Project Operation The Project will operate as an off-stream, closed-loop, pumped storage energy storage project. Approximately 4,100 acre-feet (AF) of water will be pumped from the lower reservoir through the water conveyance system to the upper reservoir. To generate power, water will be released from the upper reservoir and passed through the underground powerhouse containing three 333 MW, variable-speed, reversible, pump-turbine units. The Project is designed to generate for 8 hours at peak energy demand at a nominal 1,000 February 2022 | 16

MW. Generating and pumping dispatch schedules for the Project will be determined based on market demand and grid condition. Annual electrical energy production will be 2,400 gigawatt-hours assuming the Project runs at full generation capacity for the maximum 8 hours each day, 6 days per week, 50 weeks per year.

Section 3.3 Geologic and Soil Resources Section 3.4 Water Resources Section 3.5.3.2 Fish and Aquatic Resources
WPW proposes the use of appropriate BMPs during the construction of the Project. Prior to the commencement of construction, WPW proposes to have its contractor provide and implement a professionally prepared SWPPP. The preparation and implementation of the SWPPP is anticipated to ensure erosion, scouring, or general water quality degradation do not occur from Project-related discharges.
Section 3.3 Geologic and Soil Resources
WPW proposes to develop a SWPPP and an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan with measures to manage erosion and prevent surface water and air contamination during Project construction and operation. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will address practices to be established during Project construction and operation to minimize the potential for generating windblown dust from Project activities. Special focus in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be given to addressing earthworks in soils that are highly erodible.
Section 3.3 Geologic and Soil Resources
WPW proposes to develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during construction, operations, or maintenance of the Project. The Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan will specify materials handling procedures and storage requirements and identify spill cleanup procedures for areas and processes in which spills may occur. The plan will standardize process operations procedures and employee training in an effort to minimize accidental pollutant releases that could contaminate surface or groundwater or storm water runoff.

Alternatives Considered but Eliminated from Detailed Analysis The current Project design was carefully considered through an analysis of location, geologic features, and existing transmission corridors. The current design was selected based on the following features: •
Proximity to the Section 368 3 designated energy corridor for building a transmission line to the only substation in the area large enough to accommodate the Project;
•
Geologic features, including placement on transitional rock, which allows for tunneling of Project structures;
•
Existing topography allowing for the highest head over the shortest distance;
•
Steptoe Valley uniquely has a water resource of sufficient size to provide needed initial fill volume; and
3 In accordance with Section 368(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the BLM designated 5,000 miles of
energy corridors (commonly referred to as “Section 368 energy corridors” or “West-wide energy corridors”) for potential placement of future oil, natural gas and hydrogen pipelines, and electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure. As preferred locations for energy transport projects on BLM-administered public lands, these corridors are intended to facilitate long-distance movement of oil, gas or hydrogen via pipelines, and transmission and distribution of high-voltage electric power.

•
Proximity to Ely, Nevada, which provides the only services within a very wide geographic area.
Other alternatives that were considered but eliminated from further analysis are described in the following sections.
2.3.1
Alternative Types of Electric Generation and Energy Storage
2.3.1.1
Introduction Carbon emissions from the U.S. power sector have dropped over 30 percent since 2005 because of a combination of a switch from coal to natural gas and an increase renewable generation (Carnegie Mellon University 2021, 2017). Relatedly, a significant amount of continued investment in megawatts of bulk storage will be needed to support integration of carbon-free energy resources. In many parts of the western U.S., there are times of day when demand for electricity is lower than the production of renewable power. This leads to curtailment of renewable generation and negative electricity pricing. Continued deployment of renewables will require that excess power be stored for later use. To serve the needs of the entire western U.S., many gigawatt-hours of storage capacity are required. The Project represents an exceptional grid support opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. Alternatives for carbon-free dispatchable power are limited, including primarily large-scale energy storage. Pumped storage projects have exceptional value by virtue of storage duration and lifespan. However, a relatively small number of new pumped storage sites have the unique characteristics of the Project, and no other sites in the critical market region have the combination of characteristics of the Project site. The site for the proposed Project is 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to Steptoe Valley as a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a Section 368-designated transmission corridor to an existing grid substation large enough to accommodate the Project. Prior to selecting the proposed Project site, other electric energy alternatives were considered, including fossil-based generation, nuclear power, renewable resources (e.g., solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric), other pumped storage facilities, and other energy storage technologies, as discussed below.
2.3.1.2
Market Context The future electric energy supply in the Nevada and greater regional market will come largely from solar and wind resources, which are non-dispatchable, intermittent, and variable in nature. This is evidenced by the recently voter-approved Nevada constitutional requirement for 50 percent renewable energy sourcing by 2030 and a law requiring 100 percent carbon-free resources by 2050. NV Energy has affirmed its goal for a 100 percent renewable energy future.

2.3.1.3
Fossil-Based Generation Coal-fired steam generation provides large-scale baseload energy, serving a very different function in an energy supply portfolio than pumped storage. As a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, most coal-fired generation in the market region for the Project is being phased out and there are no new plans for new coal-fired capacity additions. Coal is therefore not a viable alternative to the Project. Gas-fired power plants include simple-cycle combustion turbines (SCCT), combined-cycle combustion turbines (CCCT), and internal combustion reciprocating engines. Gas-fired generation has provided most of the peaking and intermediate capacity in the western market since the 1990s. CCCT plants are used for intermediate-to-baseload service. SCCTs, including frame turbines and aeroderivatives, are used for peaking power and are lower in cost than pumped storage. However, they, along with CCCT plants, are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions and their inclusion in regional resource plans is being scaled back dramatically. Furthermore, while they can be used to follow variations in solar and wind output, they do not provide the energy storage function that will be critical for integrating large amounts of renewable resources. Gas-fired generation is therefore not a viable alternative to the Project.
2.3.1.4
Nuclear Power Nuclear fission power plants have provided baseload in many regions of the U.S. since the 1970s, and several plants operate in California, Arizona, and Washington. While being carbon-free sources of generation, nuclear power plants using existing technology are large, have a long development timeline, and require significant capital investments. Disposal of nuclear waste is also a significant concern. There are no considerations or plans for new nuclear power in any regional resource plans for Nevada. A few small, modular reactors and natrium reactors (based on new nuclear technology) are currently proposed at sites in Idaho and Wyoming. Cost estimates for these pilot plants are high, and they will need to be operated at a close to baseload capacity factor to keep the cost of energy at a competitive level. Nuclear generation is a baseload resource and does not provide the flexible energy storage services required to integrate large amounts of renewable energy. This fact, combined with cost, ongoing concerns about waste disposal, and the experimental nature of new nuclear technology options, makes nuclear power a non-viable alternative to the Project.
2.3.1.5
Renewable Resources Solar energy, particularly photovoltaic solar (PV solar), is emerging as a dominant new form of electric energy supply across the U.S., and particularly in the western U.S. and in Nevada. It is one of the lowest cost energy sources available today and entails no greenhouse gas emissions. Solar output is also somewhat predictable, with only cloud cover interrupting normal patterns of generation. However, those normal patterns involve a mid-day output peak, which does not coincide with peak demand, and no generation at February 2022 | 22

all during the night. The result is the well-established “duck curve,” with a steep ramp needed for generating capacity that aligns with increasing load in the early evening. Since PV solar is not a firm or dispatchable generation alternative, it is not a viable alternative to the Project. In fact, for the reasons given, PV solar is a major driver of the need for energy storage resources like the proposed Project. Wind energy is the other leading source of carbon-free energy seeing widespread deployment today. Where the wind resource is of high quality, the cost of wind energy is very low. Wind energy viability is site specific, and Nevada in general is a relatively weak wind regime as compared to other western states. Therefore, Nevada is likely to import wind energy production from other states. Furthermore, like PV solar, wind energy is not dispatchable, and it has a much lower ability than solar to predictably match demand. Like solar, therefore, the use of wind energy is a major driver of the need for energy storage resources like the proposed Project. Geothermal energy is well-established, and Nevada has a significant number of geothermal power plants. Geothermal is carbon-free and, unlike PV solar and wind, provides firm power that is relatively dispatchable. However, the economics of geothermal power require that it operates as a baseload facility. Geothermal resources are site specific and require significant lead times and development risk. More generally, the cost of geothermal is comparatively high, and is depressing its inclusion in most resource plans. For these reasons, and since geothermal generation is generally baseload in nature and not able to provide the energy storage services needed for integrating other renewable resources, geothermal is not a viable alternative to the Project. Conventional hydroelectric power has provided relatively firm, carbon-free energy in parts of the western U.S., specifically the Pacific Northwest, California, and Colorado, for many decades. Nevada does not have the potential for new significant conventional hydroelectric capacity due to its arid climate. Where hydroelectric power is being utilized in the state— for example, at the Hoover Dam—that reliance may be endangered by water shortages from climate change and other effects on the Colorado River. Across a wider region, there is some potential for new, small hydropower additions to non-powered dams, but there are no plans for major hydropower projects akin to those developed in other parts of the west in earlier generations. The lack of viable development opportunities for new major hydroelectric power sources in the western region, along with the other reasons given here, mean that conventional hydroelectric power is not a viable alternative to the Project.
2.3.1.6
Other Energy Storage Technologies Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are seeing increasing deployment, primarily in the form of lithium-ion batteries paired with PV solar. The cost of batteries has fallen significantly over the past several years, and costs are forecasted to continue to decline. Standalone battery projects are being constructed at the scale of hundreds of megawatts, and projects of 1 gigawatt (GW) have been proposed. These systems generally have storage durations of 2 to 4 hours.

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
Like pumped storage projects, BESS represent dispatchable capacity that helps to integrate carbon-free renewable resources and will thus see significant deployment across the market. NV Energy’s resource planning indicates planned deployments of thousands of megawatts of battery systems. Compared with pumped storage, BESS have the advantage of shorter development times, modularity, and flexibility of location. However, BESS have substantial disadvantages compared to pumped storage, such as: •
Higher cost at longer durations of storage (longer duration will be increasingly important as renewable energy penetration increases);
•
Significantly shorter useful life (10-20 years, depending on cycling);
•
Degradation of storage capacity and efficiency through use (resulting in a higher fixed operations and maintenance [O&M] cost for augmentation);
•
Environmental impacts from mining of battery materials and the lack of methods for recycling spent battery cells; and
•
Future supply risks associated with competition for materials (lithium and other materials) and political considerations (e.g., reliance on raw materials and manufacturing in China). Evidence of this risk is seen in recent industry studies showing a slowdown in battery price decline due to rising commodity prices and reduced production.
Using lithium-ion as a benchmark for comparison, an analysis (Estimated Value of Project Power) is provided in Exhibit D to illustrate how and why the Project represents a lower long-term cost for long-duration storage than utility-scale batteries when viewed through the energy or MWh lens. Other energy storage technologies, such as new battery technologies, hydrogen-based systems, and mechanical systems like rail energy storage and systems that lift and lower concrete blocks, are generally only at the demonstration or research and development stage, and do not represent commercially available alternatives to the Project. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is the only other long-duration energy storage technology with an established track record, but this technology requires very specific and rare salt dome geology. The CAES technology available today also requires some combustion of natural gas, a source of greenhouse gases. A CAES project in Utah is being developed for the only known “Gulf Coast” style domal-quality salt formation in the western United States. There are no known proposals for CAES projects in Nevada.
2.3.1.7
Other Pumped Storage Projects The viability of pumped storage projects requires a relatively rare combination of factors to be present, including suitable topography and geology, land availability, a source of fill water, an acceptable level of environmental impact, correct sizing for the market, and interconnection options. No major projects have been constructed in the U.S. since 1995, and relatively few proposed pumped storage projects advance to development and receiving a FERC license.

Coordinating Council region that have received a FERC license: Eagle Mountain in California, Swan Lake North in Oregon, and Gordon Butte in Montana. Construction has not commenced at any of these projects. In addition, several projects have been recently proposed in Nevada specifically, via preliminary permit applications filed with the FERC. Pumped storage projects at the preliminary permit stage are considered speculative and, as of the time of this writing, none of these concepts have advanced beyond this early phase. No pumped storage projects are currently proposed in Nevada with an equivalent or superior level of viability as that represented by the Project, based on the factors listed above, and none have advanced in terms of fundamental milestones to the extent of the Project.
2.3.1.8
Summary While BESS are the most likely alternative to the Project in terms of addressing utility and market needs in the emerging low-carbon market, the advantages afforded by pumped storage—where it can be built—make the Project an exceptional opportunity for meeting the needs of Nevada and the greater regional energy market. Furthermore, for reasons of location selection described below, there are no proposed projects that could provide the same benefit to optimizing regional diversity of renewable energy siting and existing and new transmission in Nevada. Therefore, no other pumped storage projects in Nevada are considered viable alternatives to the Project.
2.3.2
Project Location Alternatives As discussed in Section 2.3.1 Alternative Types of Electric Generation and Energy Storage, pumped storage project siting is unusual among utility resource technologies because the technical and economic viability of a given project is highly dependent on an uncommon combination of factors. The most significant of these factors are depicted in Figure 2.3-1. Site locations in White Pine County were explored based upon the County’s attributes of water supply, favorable geology and topography, access to construction power, short distance to an existing high voltage transmission interconnection, and local infrastructure to support multi-year construction duration. As detailed in this section, when screening for these factors, the Steptoe Valley area north of Ely became the area of focus for the Project.

Figure 2.3-1. Pumped Storage Site Selection Factors
Initial Geographic and Environmental Considerations Topography, Water, Services, and Site Access Factors
The single greatest driver of pumped storage cost is the combination of available head (i.e., vertical drop) and horizontal water conveyance length in conjunction with suitable geology, and reservoir topography. Head can range from the low hundreds of feet to over 3,000 feet, but the optimal head for a pumped storage project with good economy of scale is 2,000 to 2,200 feet. This makes the most efficient use of water and land while minimizing the sizing of tunnels, rotating equipment, the powerhouse, and other structures. The horizontal length of the water conveyances (typically tunnels) to create the head available by the topography must typically be less than 10 to 12 times the total head for an economic project. And the geologic characteristics must be able to support economic tunneling methods and reduced underground risk. Lastly, the topography that will define the upper and lower reservoir configurations must be able to economically design and construct dams that provide enough water volume to support a minimum of 8 hours of storage at the desired capacity for generation and pumping. Additional favorable factors present in the Steptoe Valley north of Ely include: •
A groundwater resource with a significant amount of water rights previously granted for economic development/industrial use, with a public water rights holder willing to lease and sale a portion use some of those water rights for the proposed Project.
•
The largest town in the region, affording services needed to support Project development, construction, and operation.
•
Good highway access into the Project site.
Environmental Factors
Environmental screening factors are key to site selection. These include biological and cultural factors, along with general land use policy. Figure 2.3-2 shows the location of the proposed Project overlayed with greater sage-grouse general habitat, greater sage-grouse priority habitat, and U.S. Forest Service roadless areas. As the map indicates, most of the February 2022 | 26

region falls within one or more of these sensitive land or habitat classifications. The map illustrates that after having applied stringent technical and economic site selection criteria, which narrowed the location to a specific area, it is difficult if not impossible to completely avoid lands with sensitive land use or habitat classifications. However, as described in Section 3 of this Exhibit (Environmental Analysis), a combination of avoidance, minimization, mitigation, and enhancement measures support selection of pumped storage development in this location.

2.3.3
Transmission Interconnection Alternatives Beginning with location on the transmission system, and within the market, Figure 2.3-3 illustrates why the eastern Nevada region, namely in terms of transmission facilities around the Robinson Summit Substation, is a particularly important one for pumped storage development in general and the Project in particular. As noted in Section 2.3.1.2 Market Context, the state of Nevada has adopted a clean energy mandate of 50 percent sourcing by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050. This means a high reliance on solar and potentially also wind resources, which are variable and intermittent in nature. Reliability and economic use of transmission requires energy storage, and pumped storage can be an exceptional value in energy storage, as previously discussed in Section 2.3.1.1 Introduction. Within the state of Nevada, eastern Nevada represents an important crossroads of existing, planned, and proposed transmission: •
The ON Line in Figure 2.3-3 is a 500 kV transmission line already in place.
•
Greenlink North and West, both of which are 525 kV transmission lines, have been approved to facilitate transmission of renewable resources and effective service to the state. February 2022 | 27
Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
•
The SWIP North Line, a 500 kV transmission line that is almost fully permitted, would connect Robinson Summit to the Pacific Northwest market and open a path to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market, likely delivering resource diversity (in the form of wind energy) to the Nevada market, which further enhances the value of a pumped storage project in this area.
•
The proposed Cross-tie 500 kV Transmission Line would create a strong link between the Nevada and Utah systems.
•
Finally, an existing Section 368-designated transmission corridor to Robinson Summit Substation that already serves two existing lines, one of which is a 345 kV transmission line of similar structure to that proposed for the Project.
Figure 2.3-3. Existing and Planned High Voltage Transmission in Nevada Three potential grid interconnection points, Gonder, Intermountain Power Project (IPP), and Robinson Summit were evaluated as potential locations for interconnecting the Project to the grid, based on the routing of existing high voltage transmission lines in the vicinity of the proposed Project. These potential Project interconnections are described below, with identification of the preferred interconnection site at the Robinson Substation.
2.3.3.1
Interconnection at Gonder Substation The Project is located adjacent to the Gonder Substation, which has a 230 kV and a 345 kV transmission system interconnection. Gonder Substation is the point of interconnection identified in the initial preliminary permits for the Project. In 2019, WPW engaged Power Engineers, Inc. to review the viability of interconnecting 1,000, 750, and 600 MW at Gonder Substation and at the nearby Robinson Summit Substation under N-1 conditions and utilizing the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s 2029 Heavy Summer Base Case. The Gonder Substation interconnection alternative study indicated multiple thermal, voltage, and stability violations, even at the smallest conceptual capacity of 600 MW.

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
The Robinson Summit interconnection was shown to be substantially better electrically from a power flow perspective and incurring significantly fewer interconnection issues. Based on the Project size, interconnection into the Gonder Substation was eliminated as a viable alternative.
2.3.3.2
Interconnection at IPP (Utah) The Intermountain Power Project (IPP) is a thermal power station located in Millard County, Utah that has a 500 kV substation that is the origination point of the Southern Transmission System DC line, which delivers energy from the IPP to Southern California. This point of interconnection would presumably be strong enough to serve the Project. Presently, a 230 kV transmission line runs from the Gonder Substation, adjacent to the Project site, to the IPP. The capacity of this existing line is too small for a viable interconnection to IPP for the Project. Given that there is an existing corridor, an alternative generation interconnection line to the IPP following this path was considered. However, at least two factors make such an alternative non-viable: 1. Interconnection to the IPP would involve construction of a transmission line approximately 144 miles in length or six times greater than the distance of the proposed transmission interconnection line for the Project to Robinson Summit Substation as noted below. The greater distance would add at least $250 million to the cost of the Project, as well as incur greater transmission losses. 2. There is a large amount of generation already queued for interconnection at the IPP. WPW was able to secure an early queue position and subsequent interconnection agreement into Robinson Summit Substation that would not be possible to replicate at the IPP.
2.3.3.3
Preferred Interconnection Alternative The Robinson Summit Substation is the only technically and economically viable point of interconnection for the Project. It is the northern terminus of an existing 500 kV transmission line leading to the Las Vegas area, and it will be a terminus for the new Greenlink North 525 kV Transmission Line that has been approved by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission. It would also be the southern terminus for the proposed 500 kV SWIP North Transmission Line. Additionally, WPW has a signed interconnection agreement with NV Energy for this location. Through Robinson Summit Substation, the Project will help integrate renewable energy and optimize transmission utilization on a statewide and regional basis. Robinson Summit Substation is also accessible from the Project via an existing Section 368-designated transmission corridor where two lines have already been constructed. For these reasons, Robinson Summit Substation is the preferred and proposed interconnection point for the Project. This determination has established the proposed transmission line route.

Project Siting Details The above factors result in the selection of the Steptoe Valley north of Ely as the general location for the proposed Project.
2.4.1
Site Topography Alternatives WPW examined in detail the topography of this general locale. The available head (difference in elevation) and horizontal distance between the specific location of the two reservoirs are critical factors. Figure 2.4-1 illustrates the topography alternatives analyzed.
Figure 2.4-1. Viability of Topography in the Project Area As a result of a review of the above topographical information, seven alternative conveyance routes within the Steptoe Valley area of White Pine County were identified as shown in Figure 2.4-2, and their individual characteristics are summarized in Table 2.4-1.

Alternative 5 was selected for advancement to the next phase of study based on having shortest tunnel length, the lowest length-to-head ratio, proximity to both construction power and the transmission interconnect, and the anticipated least cost upper reservoir arrangement. It was also recognized that the preferred upper reservoir site would result in less construction time, disturbance, and noise at the upper reservoir, which would result in fewer impacts (relative to the other alternatives) to wildlife habitat, such as greater sagegrouse and big game species.
2.4.2
Project Scale and Sizing Alternatives The cost per MW and per MWh of pumped storage projects is crucial for successful project development. Generally, the larger the project, the better the economics. However, a variety of factors limit project scale and size. These include site features and constructability, environmental considerations, the availability of water, transmission capacity, and market need.

2.4.2.1
Reconnaissance and Pre-Feasibility Engineering Based on the concept of the Project utilizing the Alternative 5 site, a variety of capacity sizes were considered. The initial (2010) preliminary permit application proposed a 300 MW project. The successive preliminary permit application (2013) proposed a 750 MW project. The 2017 preliminary permit application included 250 MW and 500 MW alternatives. After the site for the Project was selected, a reconnaissance-level engineering study was performed to assess the viability of three alternative Project configurations (HDR 2019): 1. Alternative 5.1, a 500 MW (2 x 250 MW variable speed units) pumped storage facility with an 8-hour maximum operating time. 2. Alternative 5.2, a 750 MW (3 x 250 MW variable speed units) pumped storage facility with an 8-hour maximum operating time. 3. Alternative 5.3, a 1,000 MW (4 x 250 MW variable speed units) pumped storage facility with a 6-hour maximum operating time. Two different reservoir configurations were considered for these Project configurations: one for the 500 MW concept, and another for the 750 MW and 1,000 MW concepts. Both the upper and lower reservoirs were proposed to be earthen embankments for all three alternative Project configurations. The differences between the 750 MW and 1,000 MW concepts were primarily with the configuration and sizing of the conveyance system. Additionally, as part of the reconnaissance study, a review of the regional and site geology was performed to identify challenges to the Project’s development due to geologic conditions. No single geologic condition identified was significant enough to deem the proposed Project infeasible. Figure 2.4-3 shows the plan view of the reconnaissance study’s layout for the 750 MW and 1,000 MW concepts (HDR 2019).

During project assessments in 2019 and 2020, a capacity of 750 MW was determined to capture improved economy of scale as compared to the previously identified capacity alternatives in the prior FERC preliminary permits. However, subsequent market analyses and feedback indicated that the market is sufficiently robust for a 1,000 MW project, and the Alternative 5 site topography supported a project of that size. Engineering studies confirmed that increasing the Project size to 1,000 MW would offer greater efficiencies and improved economics. Subsequent water sourcing agreements and interconnection studies confirmed that it is feasible to develop a 1,000 MW project, which is the scale currently proposed. Alternative 5.22 from the reconnaissance study was selected for further development during the pre-feasibility phase with the change of increasing the installed capacity to 1,000 MW and increasing the size of the units (3 x 333 MW variable-speed units). The Project design characteristics were further refined when initiating the formal licensing process with submittal of the PAD and NOI to FERC on May 15, 2020. The Project as outlined in the PAD was described as a 1,000 MW pumped storage facility with an 8-hour maximum operating time. A pre-feasibility study was ongoing when preparing the PAD and was completed shortly after submittal of the PAD. As shown in Figure 2.4-4, the pre-feasibility study design also modified the geometry of the lower reservoir and relocated it to be farther upslope to minimize tunneling in alluvium, reducing Project head from the original configuration proposed in the reconnaissance study. This modification proposed a realignment of a 5-mile section of the NNR rail line. The pre-feasibility study assumed water supply for the Project to be a new wellfield located in the Steptoe Valley approximately 12 miles north of the Project.

Selected Alternative Site Refinements After the pre-feasibility study was completed, WPW commenced a feasibility study for the Project, the first stage of which was a confidential Value Planning exercise that consisted of a facilitated expert panel study of the pre-feasibility study Project configuration. As an early step in the Value Planning exercise, the location of the lower reservoir conceived in the pre-feasibility study (Figure 2.4-4) was eliminated from further consideration. Two other lower reservoir locations were examined during the Value Planning exercise, both avoided placing the lower reservoir and its retaining dam over a known fault trace, increased head from the pre-feasibility study configuration, and avoided impact to rail line alignment (Figure 2.4-5). The more westerly of the two locations depicted in Figure 2.4-5 would necessitate utilizing two-stage pump-turbine technology, causing a significant cost increase, and therefore this alternative lower reservoir location was rejected. The selected lower reservoir location shown in Figure 2.4-5 is the preferred Project alignment. Further description of the Project configuration and features is provided in Exhibit A.

conditions in a low carbon future. This is due to the ability of variable speed pump-turbines to provide load following and frequency regulation services during the pumping mode in times of excess renewable energy generation. The following improvements to further enhance efficiency also emerged from the value planning study: •
The lower reservoir location was sited to optimize Project head and avoid the need to realign the Nevada Northern Railway rail line. The selected location also avoided placing the lower reservoir and its retaining dam over a known fault trace.
•
The water conveyance system was resized and reconfigured with the powerhouse complex being moved closer to the upper reservoir. This moved the powerhouse complex away from a geologic boundary between rock formations.
•
The upper reservoir dam was changed from an earthen, lined embankment dam to a lined rockfill dam to utilize excavated materials.
•
As detailed further in Section 3.4.2.2 Groundwater, the water supply conduit and water supply source were relocated closer to the lower reservoir. The proposed supply of water is now a well field south of the Project with four wells producing 3,000 gallons per minute (gpm) (three wells producing 1,000 gpm and one well available as redundancy) to the lower reservoir.
The selected and refined Project configuration includes an upper and lower reservoir interconnected with a single water conveyance system along with an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. and Figure 2.4-7 show the Project basic arrangement and profile.

Initial Reservoir Fill and Make-up Water Sourcing and Delivery Alternatives Another site refinement resulting from the Value Planning exercise was relocation of the proposed water supply source and its associated conduit to the lower reservoir from approximately 12 miles north of the lower reservoir to a proposed well field closer to the lower reservoir. Groundwater rights held by White Pine County for industrial purposes were originally permitted for use 12 miles north of the proposed lower reservoir location. The original alternative for water sourcing and delivery for the Project was to construct additional wells in the previously designated locations and construct a pipeline and associated pumps to deliver water the Project site. This alternative would entail a significant cost and additional disturbance associated with the Project. Following further review of the area hydrogeology, it was determined that the preferred alternative would be to change the point of diversion for the water needed for the Project to a location adjacent to the lower reservoir site. This would afford significant cost savings and reduce the Project footprint. Hydrogeological studies to confirm the viability of this change have been performed, and the Nevada State Engineer is currently processing the permits necessary for the installation of these wells.

3.1
General Description of the River Basin The proposed Project is located in the Great Basin of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. The Great Basin includes most of the State of Nevada and is bounded by the Wasatch Mountains to the east, the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges to the west, and the Snake River basin to the north. The Basin and Range Physiographic Province is characterized by generally north-south trending mountain ranges, separated by intervening valleys and basins, and encompasses portions of a number of states including Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Texas. This region has widely variable elevations; basins are typically about 4,000 to 5,000 feet in elevation and the mountain ranges are generally 3,000 to 5,000 feet above the basins. Mountain ranges and valleys are generally 5 to 15 miles wide and 40 to 80 miles long (Prudic et al. 1995). Mountain ranges are rugged and typically made up of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, while valleys are filled with eroded material from adjacent mountains. Valley floors include geomorphic features such as alluvial fans, playas, and sand dunes. The proposed Project is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin (Basin) (Figure 3.1-1) in eastcentral Nevada. Major water sources within the Basin are Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek. Duck Creek, approximately 2 miles northeast of the Project, is the closest body of water to the Project and is located in a semiarid climate and much of the creek flow originates as spring snowmelt in the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources [NDCNR] 1967). Elevations in the Schell Creek Mountain Range vary from approximately elevation 7,900 feet to elevation 11,883 feet. Duck Creek is approximately 119 miles long with headwaters located in the upper elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range. The headwaters begin within the Humboldt National Forest. Duck Creek then flows north through White Pine County to Steptoe Slough and Bassett Lake, which are located approximately 5 miles northwest of McGill, Nevada. Approximately 47 miles to the north of the headwaters, Duck Creek spills into Goshute Lake, a normally dry lakebed on the border of White Pine and Elko counties (NDCNR 1967).
3.1.1
Tributary Rivers and Streams There are no major tributaries that flow into Duck Creek. There are, however, a few minor tributaries. Upstream of the proposed Project, Gilford Creek and McDonald Creek merge with Duck Creek; and downstream multiple minor tributaries meet Duck Creek including Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, and North Creek. Duck Creek then passes through Steptoe Slough and Bassett Lake, and continues to where Schell Creek meets Duck Creek, approximately 22 miles south of Goshute Lake (Figure 3.1-2). All of these tributaries flow in from the east and originate in the higher elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range (NDCNR 1967). Most of the streamflow in Nevada is the result of runoff from melting snow. Runoff patterns in Nevada vary greatly both seasonally and geographically and are mainly determined by precipitation patterns (location and timing) and other climate patterns, such as February 2022 | 42
Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
temperature. Other factors such as surface geology, vegetation, and land use affect the amount of runoff entering the rivers and streams. Streamflows are further affected by human-induced influences such as diversions and reservoir operations (NDCNR 1999). Most of the available surface water in Nevada has been appropriated for many years (Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau 2019). As is commonly understood, centuries of water management through diversions and dams have altered the flows of many streams and rivers in the arid west, including in the Project vicinity. For example, by 1911 the Steptoe Valley Smelting and Mining Company, predecessor to Kennecott Copper Corporation, completed a nine-mile wood and steel pipeline which conveyed Duck Creek water to McGill and a system of five reservoirs in the Duck Creek Valley to store water (Elliott 1956). Historic agricultural, mining, and other uses have disturbed natural hydrology through the majority of the streams within the Project vicinity.
3.1.2
Topography The proposed Project is located in the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. The proposed lower reservoir is located in the Steptoe Valley, and the proposed upper reservoir is located in the Duck Creek Mountain Range, 5 miles west of the larger Schell Creek Mountain Range. The Steptoe Valley is bordered on the west by the Egan Mountain Range. Elevations in the Project vicinity are widely variable (Figure 3.1-3). The approximate elevation of the proposed lower reservoir is 6,500 feet. The approximate elevation of the proposed upper reservoir is 8,500 feet. Terrain is rugged in the mountain ranges in the Project vicinity and relatively flat on the valley floor. Initial and secondary uplift of the region has created stream gradients such that the streams of the region have down cut into and dissected the existing landforms, creating dissected drainage patterns on the mountain slopes, which typically terminate in alluvial fans on the adjacent valley floors.

Major Land and Water Uses The Project will be located entirely within White Pine County, Nevada, largely on lands of the United States administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (USDOI) BLM. This area is known to be one of the most remote regions in the state (Town of McGill 2016).
3.1.3.1
Major Land Uses and Ownership White Pine County is remotely populated with just around 10,000 residents, most of whom live near the City of Ely, Nevada (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] 2007). Lands surrounding the Project are used primarily for grazing, irrigation, mining, and recreation. The BLM administers over 12 million acres of public land in White Pine, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, which are available for livestock grazing, mineral production, recreation, and wildlife habitat (BLM undated-a). The major economic use of land in White Pine County historically was mining, specifically copper mining; however, as this industry has declined there has been a loss of mining-related jobs. Tourism and recreation have now become the more prominent industries in the area (USGS 2007). Lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are almost entirely federal lands administered by the BLM (approximately 1,601 acres). Some small parcels are privately owned (approximately 98 acres) (Figure 3.1-4). Within the Conceptual Project Boundary, the majority of land cover includes woodland, desert scrub, grasslands, and shrubland; and there is very little developed land (USGS 2017). Land use in the Project vicinity is discussed further in Section 3.9 Land Use.

Major Water Uses The Steptoe Valley Basin (Groundwater Basin 179) is primarily located within White Pine County with a small portion in Elko County (NDWR 2021b). Groundwater storage in Steptoe Valley was determined to be approximately 224,000 AF (USGS 2007). Groundwater from this basin is used for irrigation, mining, and milling, in addition to municipal uses (NDWR 2021a). Section 3.4.1.6 Groundwater provides more information on groundwater and its usage. Surface water flows are important water sources for agriculture in valley areas. Most springs in White Pine County have been developed for uses such as irrigation and livestock, municipal and domestic water supply, and mining. Warm springs in Steptoe Valley have been developed into public spas. Surface waters in White Pine County are also used extensively for recreation such as fishing, hunting, boating, water skiing, and swimming (White Pine County 2018). More information on water resources is presented in Section 3.4 Water Resources.
3.1.4
Major Dams and Diversions Approximately 10 miles northwest of the Conceptual Project Boundary is Bassett Lake, which was constructed as a settling pond for copper mill tailings constructed by Kennecott Copper Corporation. A small dam across a natural lowland area was constructed to impound Basset Lake, and some water from Duck Creek was re-routed through the lake to support the smelter at the mine. Outflow from the lake was discharged though a ditch used for irrigation (NDCNR 1967). The mine is no longer in operation; however, the lake is still used for recreation and irrigation.
3.1.5
Climate White Pine County has a semi-arid, cold desert climate. Interior locations of White Pine County are generally dry due to the distance from surface waters and location on the lee side of the mountain ranges. The skies are also typically clear, and in combination with the topography and sparse vegetation, heat loss is high, leading to cold evenings. Higher elevations are typically cooler, especially during summer (White Pine County 2018). The mean annual temperature for White Pine County for the period of record (POR) (18952021) is 45.2 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The mean annual precipitation for White Pine County for the same POR is 12.86 inches (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] 2021a). Average monthly temperature and precipitation for White Pine County are provided in Table 3.1-1.

Drought is common and expected in White Pine County. High elevations receive higher accumulations of snowfall in winter which irrigate the nearby valleys in spring. However, critical water sources in White Pine County respond to drought and other climate conditions with approximately 4 years of lag time. The growing season is approximately 100 to 120 days in the county (White Pine County 2018).

Affected Geologic and Soil Environment Geologic field mapping was conducted by HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) geologists between August 30, 2020, and September 2, 2020. The mapping effort consisted of documenting the appearance and character of geologic units, including assessing their February 2022 | 50

geologic and geotechnical properties, documenting discontinuity properties and their orientations, and developing unit descriptions. Additional focus was given to identifying potential geohazards, such as faults, landslides, and karst features. The field observations, additional data, and a characterization of seismic hazards were summarized in a report (HDR 2020b).
3.3.1.1
Geological Setting and Formations As described in Section 3.1 General Description of the River Basin, the proposed Project is located in the Great Basin of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. This region is characterized primarily by north-south-trending mountain ranges (i.e., horsts) and structural basin valleys (i.e., grabens) that are the result of ongoing, regional-scale eastwest extensional tectonics that initiated during Miocene time (approximately 23 to 5 million years ago [Ma]). Quaternary (2.6 Ma to present) and Neogene (5.3 Ma to 2.6 Ma) age alluvial, colluvial, and lacustrine sediments currently fill the structural basins. During the earlier Eocene to early Miocene time (about 56 to 23 Ma), western and southeastern Nevada experienced volcanism resulting in the development of calderas, magmatic intrusions, and deposition of lava flows and volcanic ash (tuff). More recently (since about 10 Ma) the east-west crustal extension has been accommodated primarily by roughly north-south-striking, steeply dipping, normal faults along the boundary between the mountain ranges and structural basins (i.e., range-front faults), while earlier extension (pre-10 Ma) was accommodated through low-angle detachment (decollement) faulting. Prior to the current extensional tectonic regime, the region experienced two episodes of compressional tectonics: 1) the Antler orogeny (a mountain-building period) of Late Devonian to Late Mississippian time (about 450 to 330 Ma), and 2) the Sevier orogeny of Jurassic to early Cenozoic time (about 200 to 65 Ma). Both orogenic episodes resulted in east-vergent, thin-skin sheets thrusting older units over younger units, and regional scale detachment/decollement faults. The rocks subjected to these orogenic events were late Precambrian to middle Paleozoic-aged (about 800 to 400 Ma) sedimentary rocks deposited in a marine environment along what was at the time a passive continental margin. A generalized geologic map of Nevada showing the Project location is presented in Figure 3.3-1. The Project is located on the western flank of the Duck Creek Range, a structural block that includes Duck Creek Valley (a down-faulted graben) within the Schell Creek Range. The Schell Creek Range is comprised of a west-dipping sequence of late Precambrian through Permian (about 1,000 to 250 Ma) rocks, overlain by Tertiary (about 63 Ma to 5.3 Ma) volcanic rocks along the faulted western flank of the northern part of the range (Rowley et al. 2017). Within the Duck Creek Range, bedrocks consist of early to late Cambrian limestones, quartzite, and shales, namely the (oldest to youngest) Prospect Mountain Quartzite, Pioche Shale, and the Pole Canyon Limestone.

Bedrock faults are mapped within the units comprising the Duck Creek Range. The most prominent is the Snake Range Decollement (SRD), a regional, low-angle detachment fault, locally exposed along the crests of the Duck Creek and Schell Creek ranges. The SRD transported middle Cambrian and younger rocks both westward and eastward over lower Cambrian and older rocks (Rowley et al. 2017) that are now part of the Snake Range metamorphic core complex (Norman 2013). The SRD follows the weak beds of the Pioche Shale (Rowley et al. 2017) and acts as the geologic contact between the Prospect Mountain Quartzite and the Pole Canyon Limestone (Figure 3.3-2). Quaternary-aged normal faults bound the range fronts in the Project vicinity, including the Central Steptoe Valley fault (Figure 3.3-2). The fault has been identified by workers (Rowley et al. 2017; Dohrenwend et al. 1991) in proximity to the Project. Unlike much of Nevada, there is no evidence that Steptoe Valley contained a Pliocene-Pleistocene lake (Reheis 1999). With respect to their significance to groundwater, the geologic units of White Pine County may be grouped into seven categories: 1) the valley-fill deposits, comprising mixtures of gravel, sand, silt, and clay that include the alluvial and playa deposits; 2) younger volcanic rocks, comprising ash-flow tuff and basalt; 3) older volcanic rocks, comprising dacite, latite, andesite, and tuffs; 4) Triassic sediments, comprising freshwater limestone, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and tuff; 5) intrusive rocks, comprising granitic plutons; 6) upper Paleozoic carbonate rocks, comprising predominantly limestone and dolomite, but with inter-bedded shale and siltstone aquitards; and 7) lower Paleozoic and older rocks, comprising predominantly elastic rocks including shale and quartzite, but with some interbedded carbonate units (White Pine County 2019). The stratigraphic units underlying the proposed Project vicinity consist of the Prospect Mountain Quartzite, Pioche Shale, and Pole Canyon Limestone. These units are described in detail below. Additionally, Quaternary alluvial deposits are located within the Steptoe Valley and are described in Surficial Geology (below).

3.3.1.2
Prospect Mountain Quartzite (CpCs) The Prospect Mountain Quartzite is an early Cambrian-aged unit that conformably overlies the McCoy Group. In northern Nevada this unit ranges from approximately 3,000 to 8,000 feet thick (Tschanz and Pampeyan 1970). In the Project vicinity, the Prospect Mountain Quartzite comprises the upper third of the eastern side of the Duck Creek Range and encompasses the upper reservoir area. The Prospect Mountain Quartzite is described by Drewes (1967) as a light-gray to darkpurplish-gray, thickly bedded, resistant quartzite with minor, weakly metamorphosed shale interbeds. Cross-bedding is also noted by Drewes (1967). The unit contains minor shale near the top section and a conglomeratic quartzite near its base. Beds range between 1 and 6 feet and are cross-bedded. The quartz grains are subangular to subrounded, medium to coarse grained, with scattered granule and pebble-sized grains, and the unit weathers to a friable sandstone (Drewes 1967). Overall, the unit is considered to have low permeability and capacity to transmit water (Welch et al. 2007).
3.3.1.3
Pioche Shale (Cm) The early- to mid-Cambrian age Pioche Shale conformably overlies the Prospect Mountain Quartzite, is poorly exposed, and where present consists of thin beds of brownish-gray to olive-black shale and siltstone, with limestone and quartzite beds in the upper portion of the unit (Drewes 1967). The limestones and shales are both laminated and micaceous, and up-section are locally interbedded with fine-grained, light greenish-gray, calcareous sandstone (Western Cordillera 2006; Drewes 1967). The unit is a regional transition between a thick quartzitic sequence to a thick carbonate sequence of rocks. It is characterized as low strength and has been associated with detachment faulting regionally, namely the SRD (Rowley et al. 2017). Samples from the northern Schell Creek Range often show signs of metamorphism where the Pioche Shale has been somewhat recrystallized to phyllite and/or schist (Western Cordillera 2006). Permeability and its capacity to transmit water are both considered to be low (Welch et al. 2007). The thickness of the Pioche Shale is controlled primarily by shearing due to extensional movement associated with the SRD; the unit may be locally thinned to only several feet or may be missing entirely (Western Cordillera 2006). In White Pine County, the unit reportedly ranges from about 150 to 600 feet thick (Western Cordillera 2006).
3.3.1.4
Pole Canyon Limestone (Cu) Overlying the Pioche Shale is the mid-Cambrian-age Pole Canyon Limestone, a fine- to medium-coarse grained, massive to thinly bedded limestone that ranges in color from medium dark gray to light gray and white. It contains local lenses of dolomite and lowgrade marble, with a few local quartzite beds near its base (Norman 2013; Drewes 1967). The Pole Canyon Limestone is reported to be 1,500 to 2,000 feet thick in the central Schell Creek range (Drewes 1967; Tschanz and Pampeyan 1970). The Pole Canyon Limestone is considered to have high permeability, largely the result of faulting and dissolution of the

limestone. Hydrologic studies have correlated high transmissivity of carbonate rocks in the region to areas of faulting (Welch et al. 2007). The nearby Lehman Caves in Great Basin National Park are formed in Pole Canyon Limestone (Prudic and Glancy 2009). Karst is the result of the dissolution of carbonate rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. Dissolution is the result of infiltration of mild, naturally occurring carbonic acid solutions into rock fractures. Karst features are characterized by caves, sinkholes/cenotes, disappearing streams, springs, and other dissolution features. The Pole Canyon Limestone is prone to karst development. An area of caverns is developing in the Pole Canyon Limestone in Lehman Cave within Great Basin National Park, located in White Pine County approximately 40 miles southeast of the Project. Some evidence of karstic dissolution was observed in surface outcrops during the 2020 geologic mapping effort.
3.3.1.5
Surficial Geology According to Eakin et al. (1967), Steptoe Valley within the Project vicinity is dominated by younger and older valley fill of unconsolidated and partly consolidated deposits. The younger valley fill is principally recent unconsolidated silt, sand, and gravel deposited along drainage channels and lacustrine clay silt, and sand; locally it includes dune deposits and the large tailings dump west of McGill. The older valley fill is described as unconsolidated to partly consolidated silt, sand, and gravel subaerial and water-laid deposits. These deposits are undifferentiated but are generally alluvial fan detritus at or near the surface and extensive silt and clay at depth. Just south of the Project within the Connors Pass quadrangle, Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks form a marine sequence almost 5 miles thick that consists predominantly of limestone and dolomite, but also contains considerable quartzite and shale. The lithology and thickness of the sequence is fairly uniform throughout much of western Utah and eastern Nevada. The continuity of sedimentation was broken, however, by disconformities in Middle and Late Pennsylvanian time. The surficial deposits in the valleys are largely a continuation of Tertiary sedimentation. They are poorly consolidated, are derived from nearby sources, and are interbedded with fine lacustrine sediments deposited in a pluvial lake (Drewes 1967).
3.3.1.6
Quaternary Alluvium (QTa2 and QTa1) Quaternary gravel, sand, and silt underlie extensive areas of Spring Valley and Steptoe Valley, and very restricted areas along the larger valleys within the Schell Creek Range. They are divisible into lacustrine deposits and alluvial gravels. The gravels are further divisible into three units, the youngest of which differs only slightly in distribution and character from the most recent deposits along the drainages (Drewes 1967). Quaternary alluvial deposits typically consist of unconsolidated to moderately consolidated beds of sand, silt, and gravel (Rowley et al. 2017). Within Steptoe Valley, Quaternary alluvium consists of stream-laid sediments derived from the adjacent range, forming an apron of coalescing alluvial fans and contributing to the filling of the valley. Magnetic and gravity surveys conducted in the valley near McGill show that basin fill sediments are on the order February 2022 | 56

of 4,000 feet thick, thinning toward the valley margins (Rowley et al. 2017). The depth to bedrock underlying the alluvial fans near the range front is unknown but is expected to range from several hundreds of feet to as much as 2,000 feet.
3.3.1.7
Soils Soils in the Project vicinity include unconsolidated sedimentary materials such as alluvial fan deposits. In general, there are four distinct geomorphic classifications or features that contain distinct surficial deposits and soils within the Project vicinity: 1) basins, 2) alluvial fans/stream terraces, 3) fan piedmonts, and 4) mountains. On the basin floors, unconsolidated sediment and soils may be deep, are moderately coarse to fine-grained, and show little soil profile development (BLM 2008b). Soils within alluvial fans and on stream terraces are typically coarser-grained than the soils on the basin floors, but are similar in their lack of well-defined profile development. Soils on fan piedmonts are usually shallow to deep with a steep gradient and moderately coarse to gravelly material. Oftentimes, these deposits contain silica and/or lime cementation. Soils on the mountain slopes may be shallow or deep and contain gravel and coarse-grained material underlain by bedrock at shallow depths (BLM 2008b). A summary of soil types, farmland classifications, and respective acreages and percentages mapped within the Conceptual Project Boundary is presented in Table 3.3-1 (Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS] 2019). Descriptions of the dominant soil associations mapped within the Conceptual Project Boundary are provided below the table.

Hutchley-Tusel-Suak (226) The Hutchley soils are on cuestas, hills, mountainsides, plateaus, and ridges with slopes ranging from 2 to 75 percent. Elevations range from 3,400 to 9,000 feet. The soils formed in alluvium, residuum, and colluvium derived from quartz latite, basalt, or related volcanic rocks and metasedimentary rocks with some loess influence. The frost-free season is 30 to 90 days (NRCS 2020). Tusel soils are on plateaus, hills, and mountains. They typically occur on north-facing backslope and summit positions. Soil slippage and slumps are common in some areas. These soils formed in residuum and colluvium derived from quartzite, chert, and shale with surficial deposits of loess and volcanic ash with slopes ranging from 4 to 75 percent. Elevations range from 5,413 to 9,711 feet. The climate is dry-subhumid with cold, moist winters and cool, dry summers. The frost-free period is less than 70 days. The Suak soils are on mountain backslopes. These soils formed in colluvium and residuum of quartzite, shale, sandstone, and mixed volcanic rocks with slopes ranging from 8 to 75 percent. Elevations range from 6,233 to 9,842 feet. The climate is cool and semiarid with warm, dry summers and cool, moist winters. The frost-free period is 70 to 100 days (NRCS 2020).
3.3.1.10 Pookaloo-Cavehill-Rock Outcrop (100) The Pookaloo series consists of shallow, well-drained soils that formed in residuum and colluvium derived from limestone, dolomite, and calcareous siltstone. Pookaloo soils are located on mountains and hills with slopes ranging from 8 to 75 percent and elevations from 5,396 to 8,809 feet. The Cavehill series consists of moderately deep, well-drained soils that formed in residuum and colluvium derived from limestone, calcareous sandstone, and dolomite with surficial deposits of loess. Cavehill soils are on hills, mountains, and rock pediments and typically occur on backslope positions. Slopes are 8 to 75 percent with elevations ranging from 5,400 to 9,799 feet. The climate is semiarid with cool, moist winters and warm, dry summers. The frost-free period is 60 to 100 days (NRCS 2020).
3.3.1.11 Mineral and Geothermal Resources Nevada produces approximately $100 million worth of geothermally generated electric power annually, and geothermal resources also are used for agriculture, industrial applications, and space heating (Price 2020). The state also produces approximately $3 billion worth of mineral commodities each year and is the nation’s leading gold producer, accounting for approximately 75 percent of U.S. production and 10 percent of world production (Price 2020). Much of the gold comes from a northwest-trending belt of gold deposits in northeast Nevada known as the Carlin trend. Nevada, also called the “Silver State,” is the nation’s leading producer of silver, barite, mercury, and lithium. Much of the silver is a co-product or by-product of gold production, and all the mercury currently produced is a by-product of precious metal recovery. Lithium is extracted from brine that occurs in Tertiary valley-filling sediments near Silver Peak in the southwestern corner of the state (Price 2020). Other commodities that are currently mined in Nevada include gypsum, limestone (for cement and lime), clays, salt, magnesite,

diatomite, silica sand, dimension stone, and crushed rock, sand, and gravel for construction aggregate. Many of these commodities can be found in the Project vicinity. Nevada produces some oil, although production is small relative to that in major oil states. In the counties surrounding the Project, oil has been discovered in Pine Valley (Eureka County) and Elko County. Peterson and Grow (1995) have estimated that the potential hydrocarbon resources near the Project could be around 98 million barrels of oil and almost 16 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
3.3.1.12 Abandoned and Active Mines The closed, underground Ely Amalgamated Copper Company Mine, a part of the Duck Creek Mining District, is located approximately 3½ miles north of the Project. The mine is located within the Pole Canyon Limestone on the west slope of the Duck Creek Range. Lead was the primary commodity of the mine, followed by copper and gold. The Steptoe Drill Road Copper and the Keno Drill Road and Workings Copper mines are located approximately 2½ to 3¼ miles south of the Project vicinity. Both mines are located within the Prospect Mountain Quartzite on the west slope of the Duck Creek Range and are inactive. The active Robinson Mine is a porphyry copper deposit located in Ruth, Nevada, in the Egan Range, approximately four 4 miles west of Ely. The mine includes three large pits: Ruth (currently active) and Tripp-Veteran and Liberty (areas without ongoing mining operations). The beginnings of the Robinson Mine can be traced back to 1867, and the first mining operations focused mainly on gold and silver. However, in 1872, significant deposits of copper ore were discovered in the area and a year later the exploitation of copper ore began. With some minor interruptions, copper, gold, and silver and recently molybdenum have been extracted from the Robinson Mine since that time (KGHM Polska Miedź Undated). Review of the USGS Mineral Resources Online Spatial Data website found no record that mining operations, above or below ground, have occurred within the Conceptual Project Boundary (HDR 2020b). See Section 3.3.1.11 Mineral and Geothermal Resources for additional information regarding mines in the Project vicinity.
3.3.1.13 Proximity to Hazardous Waste Facilities According to EJSCREEN, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA's) Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool (Version 2020), the Conceptual Project Boundary does not cross Superfund or National Priority List sites, Risk Management Plan sites, or hazardous waste facilities (EPA 2020).
3.3.1.14 Quaternary Faulting and Seismicity Generally north-south trending normal faults, the result of extensional tectonics typical of the Basin and Range, border both sides of the mountain ranges in the Project vicinity. The Central Steptoe Valley fault is mapped (Rowley et al. 2017; Redsteer 2000) along the base of the western flank of Duck Creek range in the Project vicinity. The trace identified in February 2022 | 60

Redsteer (2000) is based on original mapping by Dohrenwend et al. (1991), which identifies a topographic scarp in the alluvial fan deposits. Rowley et al. (2017) place the fault further upslope, at the base of the exposure of the Pole Canyon Limestone and is based on results from gravity and magnetic surveys (Carlson and Mabey 1963). The proposed Project site is in an area of low to moderate seismic hazard (Figure 3.3-3). Historic seismicity in eastern Nevada is low to moderate, with the largest recent earthquake being the 2008 magnitude 6.0 Wells earthquake near Wells, Nevada (dePolo and dePolo 2012), approximately 124 miles to the north of the Project (Figure 3.3-3). The main seismic sources near the Project site include the Schell Creek Range fault, the Central Steptoe Valley fault, the Egan Range fault, and the White River fault. Additional unnamed faults bound Duck Creek Valley, but there is no available information on these faults. It is noted that the Central Steptoe Valley fault is not included in the National Seismic Hazard model (Petersen et al. 2019).

Source: HDR 2020b. Notes: 1 kilo annum, i.e., one thousand years. 2 No angle reported, only dip direction. 3 Reported near-surface dip by Schell 1981 on southern extent of fault. Dip appears to be anomalously low for a Basin and Range normal fault (Redsteer 2000).
3.3.1.15 Schell Creek Range Fault The Schell Creek Range fault is a 61-mile-long, range-bounding normal fault located in Duck Creek Valley to the east of the Project site (Figure 3.3-3). The strike of the Schell Creek Range fault is N3°E and it dips to the east. Koehler and Wesnousky (2011) estimate vertical displacement for the Schell Creek Range fault as 6.2 feet and 12 feet for the most recent event (MRE) and the penultimate event, respectively, based on topographic profiles and fault trenching. The fault has an estimated recurrence interval of 17,000 to 35,000 years with the MRE occurring 6,500 years ago (6.5 thousand years ago [kilo annum or ka]). Koehler and Wesnousky (2011) report a paleoseismic slip rate of 0.12 millimeters per year (mm/yr) based on a 20,000-year estimate of vertical displacement for the Schell Creek Range fault, similar to the 0.13 reported by Pérouse and Wernicke (2017).
3.3.1.16 Central Steptoe Valley Fault The Central Steptoe Valley fault is a 64-mile-long normal fault with a strike of N9°E and a dip of 10°W (Redsteer 2000). There is only one inferred displacement event based on the presence of a fault scarp that developed <130 ka (Redsteer 2000; Dohrenwend et al. 1991). The fault has an estimated slip rate of <0.2 mm/yr and greater than 0.005 mm/yr (Redsteer 2000; dePolo and Anderson 2000). The fault is not considered Holocene active due to a lack of surface rupturing events in the last 11,000 years; however, due to the long

recurrence interval and unknown date of the MRE, it should be considered conditionally active.
3.3.1.17 Egan Range Fault The Egan Range fault, referred to as the Steptoe Valley fault in Redsteer et al. (2011) is a normal fault located across Steptoe Valley to the west of the Project site with a strike of N2°E and dips to the east (Figure 3.3-3). The fault is 91 miles long with a reported slip rate of 0.03 mm/yr for the last 80 ka and 0.08 mm/yr for the last 150 ka with an average recurrence interval of greater than 51 ka (Pérouse and Wernicke 2017). Average displacement on the fault is estimated at 2.8 m (Pérouse and Wernicke 2017). Koehler and Wesnousky (2011) suggest that the MRE occurred between 46 and 60 ka.
3.3.1.18 White River Valley Fault The White River Valley fault, located south of the proposed Project site (Figure 3.3-3), was originally named the Egan fault by Schell (1981), but was later renamed by dePolo (1998). The fault is a normal fault that is 62 miles long with a reported slip rate of <0.2 to 0.07 mm/yr (dePolo 1998) and average displacement of 3 meters; however, this slip rate and displacement are based only on a single-event surface scarp (Sawyer and Redsteer 1998).
3.3.1.19 Volcanic Activity The nearest volcanic field to the Project is the Lunar Crater volcanic field. The Lunar Crater volcanic field covers over 115 square miles at the southern end of the Pancake Range in the Great Basin Desert, Nevada. It contains numerous cinder cones and lava flows, fissures, and, most visibly, the 490-foot-deep Lunar Crater, a 3,400-foot-wide and nearly circular explosion crater believed to have formed about 15,000 years ago. Lunar Crater is one of Nevada's six National Natural Landmarks. The Lunar Crater volcanic field is in the central Great Basin, approximately 65 miles east-northeast of Tonopah, Nevada, and 87 miles southwest of Ely, Nevada (Volcano Discovery undated). Based on historical data from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (2021b), the Project vicinity has never had a significant earthquake or volcanic eruption.

Environmental Effects - Geologic and Soil Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on geologic and soil resources. Following National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on geologic and soil resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section.

3.3.2.1
Potential Hazards Assessment This section discusses geologic hazards identified by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) (2020) that are potentially present in the vicinity of the Project.
Slope Instability In general, bedding within the Pioche Shale and Pole Canyon Limestone bedrock units that is exposed on the west-facing slope of the Duck Creek Range dips at an inclination of about 43 degrees to the west, which is steeper than the approximate 30-degree surrounding slope. As such, the bedding is essentially self-supporting and bedding plane slope instability is not likely. Both limestone and quartzite units were observed to form prominent cliffs throughout the Project vicinity, suggesting good stability overall. No major rock falls, basal talus cones, or Quaternary landslides were observed during the 2020 geologic mapping effort; however, the ridgeline of the Duck Creek Range exhibits ‘scalloping,’ suggesting landslide or rockfalls may have occurred in the past (HDR 2020b).
Subsidence Subsidence is the sagging or collapse of the ground surface due to groundwater extraction or the collapse of underground mine workings or natural caverns. A review of aerial imagery and topographic data does not show evidence of features characteristic of underground karst caverns, so subsidence associated with natural caverns is not anticipated.
3.3.2.2
Water Erosion and Windblown Dust Erosion hazards not related to slope stability and mass movement processes described above may result from water erosion and windblown dust. The Project vicinity does not receive much rainfall, which generally minimizes erosion from water sources. According to NOAA (2021), the mean annual precipitation for White Pine County for the POR (18952021) is 12.86 inches. However, over long periods, these natural processes may potentially result in erosion. Hazards related to water include erosion of soils at the proposed upper and lower reservoirs, the switchyard, the transmission line, and Project access roads. Loosening of rock and soil in the hills above the lower reservoir has the potential to create conditions of gradual or catastrophic movement of rock and soil. Surface and near-surface flow can erode soils and weaken rock (such as during freeze/thaw cycles). Windblown dust is caused by the introduction of dust into the air by increased soil erosion during Project construction and operation. Hazards related to windblown dust include reduced air quality, respiration of dust, and transport during construction of the Project.
3.3.2.3
Construction Spoil WPW proposes to design the Project to make the best possible use of nearby construction materials and to limit the amount of material (e.g., soil and rock) that must be imported (borrow) or exported (waste). An earthwork balance is not only vital to control construction costs, but also to limit environmental impacts that would otherwise arise from off-site February 2022 | 65
Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
borrow or waste areas. WPW proposes to document earthwork balance in the Supporting Preliminary Design Report to be included with the FLA. Because there may be some construction spoil, even after material optimization, WPW proposes to identify a suitable site during the final design phase for the deposit of excess material.
3.3.3
Cumulative Environmental Effects Related to Geologic and Soil Resources At present there is little development proposed in the Steptoe Valley that has the potential to interact with the geologic/soil effects of the Project in a manner that causes cumulative effects. This issue will be revisited in the FLA.
3.3.4
Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.3.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020 and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021; responses to stakeholder comments as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided in Appendix A.
Geotechnical Study WPW consulted with the BLM regarding a land use application and permit to conduct exploratory and geotechnical sampling investigations on BLM lands to collect geologic and geotechnical information on subsurface conditions to support feasibility-level designs of the Project and to determine the suitability for construction of an underground powerhouse and water conduits. This geotechnical study was designed to include three borings, five test pits, and a temporary staging area and to use only existing roads. BLM’s internal scoping was conducted in May 2021 with an Interdisciplinary Team made up of Bristlecone Field Office resource specialists and management who discussed the potential consequences of the proposed action. A public scoping period began on July 30, 2021, and ended on August 13, 2021. NDOW, the SETT, and White Pine County participated in the development of the Preliminary EA as Cooperating Agencies. BLM sent letters to the following federally recognized tribes in July 2021, inviting them to initiate consultation: • • • •

A preliminary EA analyzing these activities was published by BLM in July 2021. The BLM received comments from the NDOW, the SETT, Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR), White Pine County, the NDEP, the NSHPO, and two interested individuals. Substantive comments were received, leading to changes to the EA (see Appendix H of the EA for a summary of public comments and BLM responses). The final EA (BLM 2021) was published on September 3, 2021, along with the Finding of No Significant Impact. The Record of Decision, which specified stipulations and seasonal restrictions, was signed on September 3, 2021, allowing the geotechnical investigation on BLM lands. A request for a seasonal waiver for work in greater-sage-grouse winter habitat was not granted by NDOW and WPW stopped work on the geotechnical investigation by October 31, 2021.
Seismic Study On July 14, 2021, WPW submitted a Land Use Application to the BLM to conduct a seismic study. Approval was granted on October 18, 2021. A request for a seasonal waiver for work in greater-sage-grouse winter habitat was not granted by NDOW so the work could not be scheduled and completed in 2021. On November 5, 2021, WPW requested a permit extension to October 31, 2022.
3.3.4.2
Applicant Recommendations WPW proposes to develop plans to address erosion associated with all aspects of Project construction via an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Using BMPs endorsed by the State of Nevada, WPW proposes to develop a plan that describes requisite erosion control measures to ensure that impacts are minimized. Both Nevada State law and the Federal CWA 4 require NPDES permitting for construction activities. WPW proposes to use appropriate BMPs during the construction of the Project. Prior to the commencement of construction, WPW proposes to have its contractor provide and implement a professionally prepared SWPPP. The preparation and implementation of the SWPPP is anticipated to ensure erosion, scouring, or general water quality degradation do not occur from Project-related discharges. WPW proposes to develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during construction, operations, or maintenance of the Project. The Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan will specify materials handling procedures and storage requirements and identify spill cleanup procedures for areas and processes in which spills may occur. The plan is proposed to standardize process operations procedures and employee training in an effort to minimize accidental pollutant releases that could contaminate surface water or groundwater or storm water runoff. WPW proposes to develop a SWPPP and an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan with measures to manage erosion and prevent surface water and air contamination during Project construction and operation. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will address

practices to be established during Project construction and operation to minimize the potential for generating windblown dust from Project activities. Special focus in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be given to addressing earthworks in soils that are highly erodible. Upon engagement of the construction contractor, after the license has been issued, WPW proposes to develop all necessary BMPs and to acquire the proper state and local permits to construct and operate the Project. Any plans that are conditions of the license will be submitted to FERC for approval prior to Project construction.

Water Resources
3.4.1
Affected Water Resources Environment The proposed Project is located in the Steptoe Valley of east-central Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in White Pine County. The Project will consist of an off-stream, closed-loop pumped storage project with a new upper and lower reservoir. The Project will not be located on an existing waterbody and will draw water from groundwater source(s) for the initial fill. No water will be discharged from the proposed Project during construction or routine operations. Project waters will not be used for irrigation, municipal, or livestock purposes, but will be used strictly for industrial power generation. The Project is proposed to be established as a closed system where the working volume will be re-used for power generation and replenished as necessary to replace losses due to evaporation, leakage, and seepage.
3.4.1.1
Water Resources Overview Nevada is located within the Great Basin physiographic region of the Basin and Range Province, between the Sierra Nevada range of mountains to the west and Snake and Deep Creek Mountains to the east on the Utah border. The area is characterized by north/south trending mountains and intervening, broad, arid valleys creating tremendous elevational relief (Eaton 1982). Drainage of the Great Basin flows into the valley floors containing ancient dry playas that are remnants of Pleistocene lakes. According to White Pine County (2018), water within the physiographic region of the Great Basin does not flow to the ocean. Instead, surface waters are deposited in underground aquifers. The USGS, NDWR, and NDCNR have divided the State of Nevada into 232 hydrographic basins within 14 major hydrographic regions (NDWR 2020). The proposed Project lies in the White Pine hydrographic basin within the Central Region (Hydrographic Region 10). The White Pine basin is a total of 46,783 square miles and is further divided into 15 subbasins. Most of the proposed Project, excluding the westernmost section of the transmission line, is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin in east-central Nevada. The Steptoe Valley Basin drains approximately 1,942 square miles (NDCNR 1967). Steptoe Valley extends northward from the southern end of White Pine County for approximately 110 miles into the southern part of Elko County. From Currie, the valley axis rises southward from an altitude of 5,800 feet to about 7,000 feet at the southern end. The Schell Creek Range bounds the east side of the valley and the Egan and Cherry Creek Ranges February 2022 | 68

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
form the western boundary. Commonly, the crests of these ranges are 3,000 to 4,000 feet above the valley axis. East of McGill, the crest of the Schell Creek Range is approximately 11,000 feet for several miles (NDCNR 1967). Duck and Steptoe Creeks, which drain the higher parts of the Schell Creek Range, are the principal streams in Steptoe Valley. Several smaller creeks, such as Wilson and Big Indian Creeks, drain the Schell Creek Range north of Duck Creek. Murry and Gleason Creeks drain the Egan Range in the vicinity of Ely; Goshute and McDermitt Creeks drain parts of the Cherry Creek Mountains in the northern part of Steptoe Valley. Flow in the majority of the streams reaches the valley-lowland only during periods of high runoff from snowmelt or high-intensity precipitation; however, Steptoe Creek is perennial to the floor of the valley (NDCNR 1967).
3.4.1.2
Aquatic Resources Delineation Study In accordance with the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study Plan, WPW performed an Aquatic Resources Delineation Study to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the CWA 5. The USACE regulates discharges of fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS) under authority of Section 404 of the CWA. The objective of the study was to prepare a baseline map of potential WOUS in the immediate Project vicinity (HDR 2021a). The methods and results of the study are presented in the Aquatic Resources Delineation Study (HDR 2021a) (Appendix B). The results of this study form the baseline and over-arching characterization of surface waterbodies and wetlands within the Project vicinity; as such, the study methods are summarized in this section, with the relevant results discussed in the subsections below. The survey area consisted of all lands projected to be affected by Project construction and operation for which access permission was granted. These lands included the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission line corridor, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as an approximately 100foot buffer surrounding these areas. Access was not granted for private parcels located in the Smith Valley portion of the survey area (HDR 2021a). A desktop assessment was performed that consisted of collecting information related to aquatic resources in the vicinity of the survey area prior to performing the field investigation. Wetland scientists performed the aquatic resources delineation from June 28 through July 1, 2021. The delineation followed Part IV, Section D, of the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Corps Manual) (Environmental Laboratory 1987); the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region Version 2.0 (Supplement) (Environmental Laboratory 2008); and A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (OHWM Manual) (Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory 2008).

Most aquatic resources were mapped using a Trimble R1 Global Navigation Satellite System Handheld Receiver with submeter accuracy. Reference lines and data points for the OHWM of linear drainages, wetland boundaries, and other wetland data were subsequently exported to the ArcGIS software program, then overlain on current aerial imagery and available topographic contours for the purpose of digitizing the extent of the features. Some portions of the survey area were inaccessible because of steep slopes, dense vegetation, or access was not granted; therefore, some aquatic resources were edited and digitized using ESRI ArcGIS software based on aerial photos and topographic contours. A binocular scan of private parcels in which access was not granted was also used to gather information to inform digitizing the extent of features using ESRI ArcGIS software (HDR 2021a). A combination of Level 1 (Onsite Inspection Unnecessary) and Level 2 (Onsite Inspection Necessary) of the Routine Determination Method was chosen for delineating perennial and ephemeral channels. A combination of Level 1 (Onsite Inspection Unnecessary) and Level 2 (Onsite Inspection Necessary) of the Routine Determination Method was chosen for delineating wetlands (HDR 2021a). Based on the results of the Aquatic Resources Delineation Study (Appendix B), several aquatic resources were identified in the survey area, including two perennial channels (Duck Creek and a tributary to Duck Creek), 26 ephemeral channels, two freshwater emergent wetlands, and one willow scrub-shrub wetland. Table 3.4-1 summarizes aquatic resource acreages identified in the Project vicinity by feature class (HDR 2021a).

Although White Pine County has no major lakes or rivers, there are important surface water resources in many locations. Surface water flows are important sources of irrigation water in the agricultural areas in the major valleys of the county. Groundwater that discharges to the surface at springs is also an important surface water resource. Many springs in White Pine County have been developed for irrigation, livestock watering, municipal and domestic water supplies, and the mining industry. The surface water resources of White Pine County are also extensively used for recreational purposes. Warm springs, particularly those in Steptoe Valley, have been historically developed into public spas. Several have the potential for geothermal energy development (Hinz, et. al., 2015 as cited in White Pine County 2018). As part of the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b), the Project vicinity was assessed for springs for potential springsnail (Pyrgulopsis spp.) habitat; no seasonal springs were found to occur in the Section 404 Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination study area. Surface water features in the Steptoe Valley sub-basin include various streams, creeks, and lakes such as Cave Lake (320 acres), Comins Lake (410 acres), Bassett Lake (120 acres), and Goshute Lake. Goshute Lake is a “dry” lake (White Pine County 2018 and 2019). Between 2007 and 2017, Bassett Lake decreased in size by 43 acres, while Comins Lake has increased in size by 28 acres and Cave Lake has remained relatively stable. Many of the streams originate in the surrounding mountains and flow to the valley floor; however, the majority of the streams only reach the valley floor during times of heavy runoff generated from large storms. Only two streams flow perennially and reach the valley floor – Steptoe Creek and Duck Creek (WPW 2020). Steptoe Creek (Hydrologic Benchmark Network Station 10244950) is located to the south of the proposed Project, originates in the Duck Creek Range, and is spring fed. Steptoe Creek flows westward to the axis of Steptoe Valley and thence northward along the axis of the valley and typically terminates north of the Ely airport. However, during very wet seasons it has been known to reach Bassett Lake and in very wet periods flows into Duck Creek (BLM 2008b; USGS 1920). Steptoe Creek has an average stream gradient of approximately 370 feet/mile (Mast and Clow 2000). Steptoe Creek drains the western slope of the Schell Creek Range south of Duck Creek Valley. The mountain block forming its watershed is characterized by faulted Paleozoic carbonate rocks and mountain peak altitudes greater than 10,000 feet (Frick 1985).

The USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (USGS 2019) identifies 55 water features within the proposed Conceptual Project Boundary. Many of these features were also identified in USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database (USFWS 2019). All of the NHD and NWI mapped surface water features within the proposed Conceptual Project Boundary were assessed during the June and July 2021 aquatic resources delineation completed by HDR (2021a) (included as Appendix B) to determine if their characteristics and locations matched the datasets. As summarized above, several aquatic resources were identified in the survey area, including two perennial channels, 26 ephemeral channels, two freshwater emergent wetlands, and one willow scrub-shrub wetland (HDR 2021a). The extent of these features within the Conceptual Project Boundary is shown in the mapbook included in the study report at Appendix B, and each feature class is described in more detail below. The aquatic resources identified in the Conceptual Project Boundary are summarized in the study report Table 2 in Appendix B. Perennial Channels
Duck Creek is the principal stream near the proposed Project site and it originates east of the Duck Creek Range in Duck Creek Valley. Duck Creek Valley has a northward trend and a length of about 20 miles and a width of about 4 miles at its widest part. Duck Creek derives nearly all of its water from tributaries, the headwaters of which are in the mountains to the east (USGS 1920). The headwater area for Duck Creek includes the highest peaks within Steptoe Valley's hydrographic basin, and rocks in this area are predominantly Precambrian and Cambrian elastics (Frick 1985). Tributaries of Duck Creek flow in from the east and include Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, East Creek, and North Creek. These tributaries originate in the upper elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range, within the Humboldt National Forest. Duck Creek flows north through Gallagher Gap and divides into several small channels before flowing into a large alluvial fan north of the Town of McGill. Duck Creek is used for irrigation and other purposes, and then flows into Tailings Creek and Bassett Lake. During periods of very high flows, Duck Creek has reached Bassett Lake, about 5 miles northwest of McGill. Duck Creek continues as outflow from Basset Lake, flowing north. Approximately 47 miles to the north of the headwaters, in extremely wet years with high snowpack, Duck Creek occasionally flows into Goshute Lake, a normally dry lakebed that sits on the border of White Pine and Elko Counties (NDCNR 1967 as cited in HDR 2021a). According to WPW (2020), Duck Creek is considered a “losing” creek and continually loses water through infiltration as it flows across the valley floor. A reach of Duck Creek within the Conceptual Project Boundary (i.e., PC1f and PC1g), is a meandering or sinuous channel that flows from south to north through the easternmost portion of the Project vicinity. The average width of the OHWM of the channel within the Conceptual Project Boundary is approximately 3 feet and Duck Creek flows over one dirt road crossing within the Project vicinity. On the north side of the road crossing, the channel banks are deeply incised likely due to erosion from the road crossing. Surface water depth ranges from approximately 3 to 6 inches throughout the portions of Duck Creek in the Conceptual Project Boundary (HDR 2021a). Duck Creek’s active floodplain within the Conceptual Project Boundary is distinguished by a change in plant community to either herbaceous vegetation consisting of mostly rush February 2022 | 72

(Juncus) and sedge (Carex) species or scrub-shrub stands of willow species (Salix sp.), which are up to 10 feet high in some areas (HDR 2021a). PC2 is also a perennial channel segment within the Conceptual Project Boundary and is a sinuous, low-gradient tributary to Duck Creek that flows from east to west where it converges with Duck Creek just south of the road crossing (Appendix B). The average width of the OHWM of PC2 is approximately 3 feet. The active floodplain is dominated by herbaceous vegetation and the substrate was characterized as a silty texture. Surface water depth measured approximately 4 inches on June 30, 2021 (HDR 2021a). Ephemeral Channels
EC1 through EC53 (Appendix B) are ephemeral channels that vary from low to moderate gradients with the average width of the OHWM varying from 1 to 6 feet. Channels in the western portion of the Project vicinity and the proposed upper reservoir area are generally moderate gradient channels, while channels in the valley portions of the Project vicinity are low gradient with some braided channels on valley floors, which are consistent with alluvial fan systems in arid west regions. No surface water was present in any of the ephemeral channels within the Conceptual Project Boundary at the time of the survey (HDR 2021a). Freshwater Emergent Wetlands
A freshwater emergent wetland (W2) is located on the eastern end of the Conceptual Project Boundary, southwest of the McGill Spring area (Appendix B). This wetland is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation consisting of Baltic rush (Juncus balticus) and Douglas' sedge (Carex douglasii). The position of the hillslope north of this wetland provides evidence that there may be water seepage from overland flow as well as subsurface water from McGill Spring, located outside of the Conceptual Project Boundary. Drainage patterns in this area include an ephemeral channel (EC45) that traverses the wetland from west to east (Appendix B) (HDR 2021a). Fringe wetlands (W4i-W4r) are located along Duck Creek (PC1f and PC1g) and a tributary to Duck Creek (PC2) (Appendix B). These wetlands are dominated by Sierra rush (Juncus nevadensis) and Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis), with an overstory of scrub-shrub species (predominantly willow) in some areas (HDR 2021a). Willow Scrub Wetlands
One wetland identified within the Project vicinity (W5) located adjacent to Duck Creek (PC1f and PC1g) and PC2 (Appendix B) qualifies as a willow scrub wetland, as surface water was present along with a high water table. Dominant hydrophytic species included coyote willow (Salix exigua) and Booth's willow (S. boothii) with an understory of rush species (HDR 2021a).

2019 permitted water rights included industrial uses, irrigation, mining, wildlife, municipal uses, power, quasi-municipal uses, recreation, stock watering storage, commercial activity, and domestic uses (White Pine County 2019). Groundwater pumpage as reported by NDWR is further described in Section 3.4.1.6 Groundwater and Table 3.4-4. The upper and lower reservoirs of the proposed Project will be part of a closed-loop pumped storage development. Initial reservoir fill and make-up water to replace losses from seepage, leakage, and evaporation is anticipated to be drawn from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County for well sites north of McGill, Nevada. The County's water rights under previously granted permits in this area exceed 20,000 AF per year, which substantially exceeds the one-time fill requirement for the proposed Project. Under White Pine County Resolution 2019-40 (August 14, 2019), the County initially approved making water available subject to future approval, which was granted under Resolution No. 2021-12 (February 24, 2021), wherein the Board of County Commissioners voted to enter into a Water Use and Option to Purchase Agreement with WPW to supply all fill and make-up water for the Project (WPW 2020).
3.4.1.5
Water Quality Federally Approved Water Quality Standards The CWA requires states to adopt water quality standards designating beneficial uses of the state's waters and setting criteria designed to protect those uses. Nevada’s water quality standards, as contained in the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 445A.11704 – 445A.2234, define the water quality goals for a waterbody, or a portion of a waterbody, by designating beneficial uses of the water and setting criteria necessary to protect the beneficial uses. Beneficial uses include, but are not limited to, contact recreation, irrigation, aquatic life, watering of livestock, and drinking water supply (NDEP undated). Nevada’s water quality standards contain both narrative and numeric criteria. Narrative standards that apply to all surface waters of the State are contained in NAC 445A.121 and are listed below. These standards require waters to be “free from” various pollutants in sufficient levels so as to not be unsightly; interfere with any beneficial uses; create a public nuisance; be toxic to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life; or have any other adverse effects (NDEP undated). The following standards are applicable to all surface waters of the State: 1. Waters must be free from substances attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources that will settle to form sludge or bottom deposits in amounts sufficient to be unsightly, putrescent, or odorous or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. 2. Waters must be free from floating debris, oil, grease, scum, and other floating materials attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water.

3. Waters must be free from materials attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources in amounts sufficient to produce taste or odor in the water or detectable off-flavor in the flesh of fish or in amounts sufficient to change the existing color, turbidity, or other conditions in the receiving stream to such a degree as to create a public nuisance or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. 4. Waters must be free from high temperature, biocides, organisms pathogenic to human beings, toxic, corrosive, or other deleterious substances attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources at levels or combinations sufficient to be toxic to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water. Compliance with the provisions of this subsection may be determined in accordance with methods of testing prescribed by NDEP. If used as an indicator, survival of test organisms must not be significantly less in test water than in control water. 5. If toxic materials are known or suspected by NDEP to be present in a water, testing for toxicity may be required to determine compliance with the provisions of this section and effluent limitations. NDEP may specify the method of testing to be used. The failure to determine the presence of toxic materials by testing does not preclude a determination by NDEP, on the basis of other criteria or methods, that excessive levels of toxic materials are present. 6. Radioactive materials attributable to municipal, industrial, or other controllable sources must be the minimum concentrations that are physically and economically feasible to achieve. In no case must materials exceed the limits established in the 1962 Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards (or later amendments) or 1/30th of the Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC) values given for continuous occupational exposure in the “National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 69.” The concentrations in water must not result in accumulation of radioactivity in plants or animals that result in a hazard to humans or harm to aquatic life. 7. Wastes from municipal, industrial, or other controllable sources containing arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, cyanide, fluoride, lead, selenium, silver, copper, and zinc that are reasonably amenable to treatment or control must not be discharged untreated or uncontrolled into the waters of Nevada. In addition, the limits for concentrations of the chemical constituents must provide water quality consistent with the mandatory requirements of the 1962 Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards. 8. The specified standards are not considered violated when the natural conditions of the receiving water are outside the established limits, including periods of extreme high or low flow. Where effluents are discharged to such waters, the discharges are not considered a contributor to substandard conditions provided maximum treatment in compliance with permit requirements is maintained.

Existing Water Quality Data Water quality information is not available for the ephemeral channels identified within the Conceptual Project Boundary, as these waters are not gaged and the channels are typically dry. Additionally, water quality information is not available for the perennial channel (PC2), as this water is not gaged. As such, there is no water quality data available in the immediate Project vicinity. The closest perennial water source to the proposed Project is Duck Creek, which supports the following beneficial uses: 1) aquatic life, 2) irrigation, 3) municipal and domestic supply, 4) propagation of wildlife, 5) recreation with contact, 6) recreation with no contact, and 7) watering livestock (NDEP 2020). There are no USGS gages on Duck Creek that collect water quality data in the Project vicinity (WPW 2020). The closest USGS gage with available water quality data is USGS gage 10244950 Steptoe Creek near Ely, Nevada. Water quality data from this gage was only available for February 21, 1968, through February 13, 1996. During this time period, all water quality recordings met the state standards, with the exception of two instances where pH was above the threshold on January 23, 1971 (9.1) and on March 6, 1973 (9.5) (USGS 2020b). The lowest recorded water temperature for this dataset was 3.5°C and the highest recorded water temperature was 14°C. Specific conductance ranged from 218 microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm) to 403 µS/cm. Dissolved oxygen levels ranged from a low of 6.8 mg/L to a high of 12.1 mg/L. The pH levels during this time period ranged from a low of 7.4 to a high of 9.5, with two instances that were above state standards as discussed above. All available water quality data from USGS gage 10244950 is available in Appendix B of the PAD, which was filed with FERC on May 15, 2020.

3.4.1.6
Groundwater Steptoe Valley is a long, narrow basin located within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province in the Great Basin. This name refers to the region covering much of the western United States and northwestern Mexico and refers to the landscape of alternating valleys and mountains. Within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province, groundwater occurs in basin fill deposits and the rock that underlies these deposits (BLM 2008b). Steptoe Valley is located in a region referred to as the carbonate-rock area, which is underlain by thick sequences of Paleozoic limestones and dolomites. Although the Great Basin is characterized by basins that exhibit internal drainage due to topographic closure, in the carbonate-rock area there are frequent instances of inter-basin groundwater flow and large regional flow systems (Frick 1985). The basin fill deposits in this area consist of unconsolidated sediments that are produced by the erosion of the surrounding mountains and hills. The sediments are transported by streams and creeks and are deposited onto the valley floor. The groundwater within Steptoe Valley is stored primarily within these basin fill deposits. The fractured-rock aquifer in the carbonate rock beneath the basin fill deposits does not directly yield groundwater to local wells (BLM 2008b). There is uncertainty regarding groundwater recharge in Steptoe Valley. It is believed the only known source is through precipitation; however, there have been suggestions that groundwater could flow into Steptoe Valley from neighboring Butte Valley (BLM 2008b). In response to concerns about water availability and limited hydrogeological information, a water-resources study was initiated in December 2004 and conducted by the USGS, Desert Research Institute, and State of Utah. The study area included 13 hydrographic areas that covers most of White Pine County including Steptoe Valley. In this study, groundwater recharge, discharge, and storage were estimated for the study area. Steptoe Valley was found to have the highest annual recharge (about 154,000 AF) and one of the highest annual discharges (about 101,000 AF). Groundwater storage in Steptoe Valley was determined to be approximately 224,000 AF (USGS 2007). The USGS monitors groundwater levels continuously in 27 wells and annually in 1,081 wells across Nevada (USGS 2013). Monthly average depth to water level data is available from USGS well 393310114475001 located approximately 15 miles north of the proposed Project site at latitude 39°33'10" N and longitude 114°47'50" W. The land surface altitude of the well is

reported as 6,037 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 and has a well and hole depth of 122 feet (USGS 2020b). Monthly average depth to water levels (feet below land surface) were estimated based on a 38-year POR from August 10, 1983, to October 31, 2021. Monthly average depths (Table 3.4-3) ranged from 8.4 feet below surface elevation to 10.3 feet below surface elevation. The shallowest depth recorded during the POR was 6.0 feet and the deepest depth recorded was 13.7 feet below surface elevation. The 38-year POR indicates stable groundwater elevations with approximately 1.88 feet of seasonal fluctuations each year (Table 3.4-3).

The Steptoe Valley Basin (Groundwater Basin 179) is primarily located within White Pine County with a small portion being in Elko County (NDWR 2021b). A review of existing hydrogeologic data and available pumping test results for the Steptoe Valley indicates that transmissivities in the Quaternary alluvium range from 1,350 to 4,500 square feet per day. This range of transmissivity is indicative of a well-sorted gravel that likely dominates the aquifer composition and can support substantial groundwater production rates (Piteau Associates 2021). According to White Pine County (2019), groundwater occurs at various depths under the entire County and has been developed for municipal, agricultural, and mining supplies as well as for other purposes. In recent years, the demand on the groundwater resources has grown significantly, in part reflecting the growth of the various economic sectors of the County, and in part reflecting the interest in exporting water from White Pine County through large-scale, inter-basin transfers of water. Because most of the surface water February 2022 | 78

resources of White Pine County have already been appropriated, the groundwater resources represent the only remaining source of water that is available to support the future increases in water use. Basins in White Pine County in 2019 with the highest number of underground water rights were Steptoe, Spring, and Railroad Valley North. Over 65 percent of underground water rights in White Pine County in 2019 were held in these three basins (White Pine County 2019). As described in Section 3.4.1.4, Water Quantity, the White Pine County Board of County Commissioners voted to enter into a Water Use and Option to Purchase Agreement with WPW to supply all fill and make-up water for the Project in February 2021. A review of State of Nevada groundwater level records (Welch et al., 2007 as cited in HDR 2020b) revealed no active wells in the vicinity of the upper and lower reservoirs, though other wells were identified in the region in a similar topographic setting. The depth to groundwater in these other wells was on the order of at least 100 feet below ground surface (HDR 2020b). Table 3.4-4 illustrates estimated groundwater use (acre-feet) for Steptoe Valley Basin and manner of use in 2017. The top three current commitments of groundwater in the Steptoe Valley hydrographic area (No. 179) are: Mining and Milling (49% of commitments), Irrigation (26%), and Industrial (16%) (NDWR 2021b).

According to White Pine County (2019), there are 700 domestic water wells in White Pine County. Groundwater wells registered with NDWR in 2017 (most recent available data) are presented in Figure 3.4-1.

Figure 3.4-1. Groundwater Wells in White Pine County Steptoe Valley contains a considerable number of springs, commonly grouped in two classes - thermal and nonthermal. The thermal springs are the most conspicuous and yield the largest quantities of water. Their temperature indicates that the water comes from considerable depths and is not a part of the groundwater body of the unconsolidated valley fill. The thermal springs, as a rule, are arranged in lines on either side of Steptoe Valley nearly parallel to the mountain borders. This linear arrangement and parallelism suggests strongly that the springs occur along fault or fracture zones (USGS 1920). According to White Pine County (2019), there are over 700 springs in White Pine County. The USGS conducted a survey of 100 springs in the county and reported a combined discharge rate of over 78,000 gallons per minute, equivalent to more than 126,000 AF per year. White Pine County also has 16 warm or hot springs. Only one, the Monte Neva Hot Spring in Steptoe Valley, has been identified by the USGS as having enough potential for geothermal steam to warrant investment (White Pine County 2018).

Environmental Effects on Water Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on surface water and groundwater resources, including water quantity and quality. WPW’s objectives are to avoid or minimize all impacts from Project construction and operations to surface water and groundwater within and near the proposed Project. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on water resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section. Prior to the start of commercial operations, the Project must be filled with the water required for equipment commissioning and normal operations. Initial reservoir fill and make-up water to replace losses from seepage, leakage, and evaporation are anticipated to be drawn from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County. The County's water rights under previously granted permits in this area exceed 20,000 AF per year, which substantially exceeds the one-time fill requirement for the proposed Project. Use of water for the Project was formally approved in a water supply and option agreement by the White Pine Board of County Commissioners on February 24, 2021. Descriptions of volumes, flow rates, and plans for initial fill and make-up water will be provided in the FLA. The Project is not expected to cause any impacts to water quality within or adjacent to the Project, including to ephemeral or perennial streams. Project design of the lower reservoir includes a small spillway and a low-level outlet. These features are included out of an abundance of caution and would be activated only under highly improbable conditions, such as the combination of a full reservoir plus over-pumping from the Project’s groundwater source. Any potential impacts to surface waters due to ground disturbance during construction would be managed through the Project’s Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Water residence-time in the proposed Project reservoirs for extended periods of time may concentrate solutes present in source waters. However, these concentrated solutes would not impact surface waters, as the Project would not discharge to any surface waters. Road improvements would not involve any in-water work. Construction of access roads for the upper reservoir would involve crossing mostly ephemeral stream channels and one perennial waterbody (Duck Creek), which currently has a culvert at the road crossing. Because the proposed transmission line for the Project would be sited within an existing Section 368-designated transmission corridor designed to support connectivity to multiple February 2022 | 81

Surface Waterbodies and Wetlands The construction and operation of the proposed Project can potentially result in adverse surface water quality impacts. During construction, soil disturbances associated with clearing, access road construction, construction of the reservoirs, and other activities can cause erosion and sedimentation, and potentially lead to impacts threatening aquatic life. Precautions would be included in the final design, construction, and maintenance of the proposed Project to minimize potential impacts and to avoid the addition of sediment or siltation to surface waters and wetlands. As described above, the majority of the streams within the Conceptual Project Boundary are ephemeral stream channels. According to USACE (undated), an ephemeral stream has flowing water only during, and for a short duration after, precipitation events in a typical year. The majority of the identified ephemeral streams within the Conceptual Project February 2022 | 82

Boundary are episodic stream channels that appear to convey flows only during and immediately after precipitation events. Many of the ephemeral channels in the Conceptual Project Boundary are typical of arid fluvial systems, including sparsely vegetated washes with sand or sand and gravel beds with varying densities of scattered stones of variable sizes. Historic agricultural activities within portions of the Project vicinity have disturbed natural hydrology through some ephemeral washes. Impacts to surface water in the Steptoe Valley from the Project would be limited to alterations of surface water runoff patterns. Surface water runoff is an important source of water for creeks (e.g., Duck and Steptoe Creeks) in Steptoe Valley (NDCNR 1967). Project reservoirs could capture precipitation within their footprints and other overland flow will be routed around the reservoirs. As described above, the groundwater within Steptoe Valley occurs for the most part in the unconsolidated valley fill, where the water table reaches the surface, or nearly so, and then escapes into the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration (USGS 1920). Specific conditions relating to groundwater within the proposed reservoir locations are currently unknown at this time. As previously described, wetlands within the Conceptual Project Boundary were identified through secondary data source review and field investigations conducted by HDR from June 28 through July 1, 2021. Based on the field investigations, a total of 12 wetland areas totaling only approximately 0.36 acres of wetland habitat were identified within the Conceptual Project Boundary 6 (HDR 2021a). The majority of the wetlands identified within the Conceptual Project Boundary are classified as palustrine emergent with only 0.02 acres representing willow scrub-shrub wetland associated with Duck Creek located in the eastern section of the proposed Project. In order to minimize potential adverse effects of constructing the Project on the aquatic environment within the Conceptual Project Boundary, WPW proposes to follow specific regulatory guidelines, as well as develop an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan that incorporates BMPs designed to minimize the potential for erosion and sedimentation to stream and wetland areas.
3.4.2.2
Groundwater The Project will utilize groundwater for initial fill and annual make-up of losses of water from seepage, leakage, and evaporation. Water will be supplied to the Project from existing groundwater rights as governed by a water supply and options agreement that was formally approved by the White Pine Board of County Commissioners on February 24, 2021. The water will be obtained from four new groundwater wells in the Steptoe Valley, located south of the lower reservoir. Depth to water across the well field site is estimated at 70 feet below ground surface (bgs). A preliminary review of existing hydrogeologic data and available pumping test results for the Steptoe Valley indicate that transmissivities in this area range from 1,350 to 13,500 square feet per day (Piteau Associates 2021). This range of transmissivity is indicative of

a well-sorted gravel that likely dominates the aquifer composition and is able to support substantial groundwater production rates. Depth to water across the well field site is estimated at 70 feet bgs. Conservative analytical estimates indicate that drawdown from static for the system under continuous pumping at the design nominal rate of 3,000 gpm is expected to be approximately 90 feet. Figure 3.4-2 shows estimates of drawdown associated with pumping for both the 1,350 square feet per day and the 4,500 square feet per day transmissivity case. Under both cases, the 10-foot isopleths do not reach neighboring wells or other water users nearby (Piteau Associates 2021). WPW proposes to pump an estimated 5,000 AF over a 12- to 18-month period for initial fill of the Project. With the three pumps operating at up to the design nominal rate of 3,000 gpm (a fourth, spare pump capable of providing 1,000 gpm is planned to assure the 3,000 gpm flow rate), the Project pumping during initial fill is not anticipated to impact neighboring wells or other water users nearby (Piteau Associates 2021). WPW estimates that, on average, approximately 560 AF will be needed each year to make up for losses to seepage, leakage, and evaporation. This annual volume is significantly less than the water needed for initial fill over a 12- to 18-month period; therefore, groundwater pumping to provide approximately 560 AF annually will not impact neighboring wells or other water users nearby. Additional information on the potential effects of the Project’s groundwater withdrawals will be presented and discussed in the FLA.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.4.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021; responses to stakeholder comments as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided in Appendix A.
3.4.4.2
Applicant Recommendations WPW proposes to develop plans to address erosion associated with all aspects of Project construction via an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Using BMPs endorsed by the State of Nevada, the plan will describe requisite erosion control measures to ensure that impacts are minimized. Both Nevada state law and the federal CWA require NPDES permitting for construction activities. WPW proposes to develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during construction, operations, or maintenance. The Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan will specify materials handling procedures and storage requirements and will identify spill cleanup procedures for areas and processes in which spills may occur. The plan will standardize process operations procedures and employee training in an effort to minimize accidental pollutant releases that could contaminate surface or groundwater or storm water runoff. Upon engagement of the construction contractor, after the license has been issued, all necessary BMPs will be developed, and the proper state and local permits will be acquired to construct and operate the Project. Any plans that are conditions of the license will be submitted to FERC for their approval prior to Project construction.

Fish and Aquatic Resources This section describes fish and aquatic resources in the Conceptual Project Boundary (within ephemeral and perennial waterbodies) and in Duck Creek, a perennial stream that is located along the eastern section of the Conceptual Project Boundary. Potential impacts of the Project on fish and aquatic resources are also discussed in this section.

Initial reservoir fill and make-up water for operations is anticipated to be drawn from groundwater under permits held by White Pine County for well sites north of McGill, Nevada. The county's water rights under previously granted permits in this area exceed 20,000 AF per year, which substantially exceeds the one-time fill requirement for the proposed Project. Interactions between the Project and fish habitat are limited to the indirect effects associated with any land-disturbing activities in the watersheds of ephemeral and perennial waterbodies. Limited information is available describing the fisheries and aquatic resources of Duck Creek, the closest water source to the Project. Therefore, regional information from adjacent areas are also referenced in this section to help describe these resources.
3.5.1
Affected Fish and Aquatic Environment The Project is located within the Long-Ruby Valleys and Spring-Steptoe Valleys subbasins (Hydrologic Unit Codes 16060007 and 16060008). The upper reservoir, its associated access roads, and staging areas and the uppermost portion of the water conveyance structure are generally located on a watershed divide between Gilford CreekDuck Creek and Steptoe Slough-Duck Creek watersheds. The majority of these features are located at a high elevation in the watersheds, where the majority of streams are ephemeral and fish habitat does not occur. Within the Ely District RMP area, which includes White Pine, Lincoln, and a portion of Nye counties, most of the water bodies are considered low-quality aquatic habitat due to the lack of persistent year-round stream flow, relatively high water temperatures, and limited riparian vegetation (BLM 2008b). The only aquatic habitat within the Project vicinity is Duck Creek. Duck Creek is a meandering, perennial stream in the Duck Creek Valley, located between the Duck Creek and Schell Creek Mountain Ranges, and alongside White Pine County Rd 29. Stream segments on BLM-administered land generally have varying habitat conditions of low to moderate quality (BLM 2008b). Fish populations are not monitored consistently. Primary threats to fish and aquatic organism habitat include habitat alterations through changes in vegetation cover and species composition, the spread of noxious weeds, water depletions, manipulations of stream channel form (e.g., channelization; wider, shallower channels; bank erosion), and grazing (BLM 2008b; USFS 2011). White Pine County is a key fishing area in Nevada, with lakes and streams providing habitat for trout species such as Bonneville cutthroat (Oncorhynchus clarkia utah), cutbow (Oncorhynchus clarkii × mykiss), brook (Salvelinus fontinalis), brown (Salmo trutta), rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and tiger (Salmo trutta × Salvelinus fontinalis), as well as largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Native species such as redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus), mottle sculpin (Cottus bairdii), pahrump poolfish (pahrum poolfish), relict dace (Relictus solitarius), White River desert sucker (Catostomus clarkii intermedius), White River speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus ssp.), and Fish Creek Springs tui chub (Gila bicolor euchila) are also found in the county (White Pine County 2018).

The Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area (SVWMA) is located immediately south of Ely, Nevada, along U.S. Highway 93/50 in White Pine County. The property comprises 12,806 acres and includes Comins Lake, which is located approximately 6 miles south of Ely. Steptoe Creek, Cave Creek, and Comins Lake are the primary water resources in the SVWMA. Comins Lake, at the lower end of Steptoe and Cave Creek drainage basins, has a surface area of about 410 acres. The high productivity of Comins Lake can be attributed to the abundance and variety of invertebrate species found there. Since NDOW purchased the property associated with the SVWMA in 1999, Comins Lake has become a top fishery destination, not only in Nevada, but in the western United States as well (NDOW undated--a). According to NDOW (undated--a), angler reports in 2000 led to the discovery of an illegal reintroduction of northern pike (Esox lucius) in Comins Lake. The northern pike population exploded and by 2006, the trout and bass fisheries within Comins Lake collapsed. Stocking was suspended in 2007 until northern pike could be removed from the lake. In 2015, Comins Lake was chemically treated to remove northern pike and restore the popular trout and bass fisheries. In April of 2016, Comins Lake was stocked for the first time in nine years with 10,000 rainbow trout. Small numbers of largemouth bass and brown trout were released into the lake in the late spring and early summer of 2016 (NDOW undated--a). Steptoe Creek is stocked annually with 1,000 rainbow trout that are distributed over 4 miles of the creek. The brown trout population in Steptoe Creek is naturally reproducing and brown trout within the creek are found in relatively low densities (NDOW undated--a). Relict dace, a native fish classified as a sensitive species by NDOW, exists in a number of springs and channels located in Steptoe Valley including portions of the north valley area of the SVWMA. Relict dace have existed in Steptoe Valley since the Pleistocene Epoch and their persistence on the landscape speaks to the species’ hardiness and ability to change to different climactic conditions. Utah chub (Gila atraria) also exist within the SVWMA and were likely brought into the valley by Native Americans as a source of food (NDOW undated--a). Based on a review of the National Marine Fisheries Service online database, no essential fish habitat designated under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or established by the National Marine Fisheries Service has been identified within or in the vicinity of the Project (NOAA undated). No information is available regarding the historical fish and aquatic resources within the Conceptual Project Boundary or in the Project vicinity. Existing fish and aquatic resources for Duck Creek and White Pine County are discussed broadly below and Project vicinityspecific information is provided where available.
3.5.1.1
Aquatic Habitat in the Project Vicinity As described above in Section 3.4 Water Resources, WPW performed a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of USACE under Section 404 of the CWA. Based on the results of the study, several aquatic resources were identified within February 2022 | 88

the Project vicinity, including two perennial channels (Duck Creek and a tributary to Duck Creek), 26 ephemeral channels, two freshwater emergent wetlands, and one willow scrubshrub wetland. The majority of the streams within the Conceptual Project Boundary are ephemeral stream channels. According to USACE (undated), an ephemeral stream has flowing water only during and for a short duration after precipitation events in a typical year. The majority of the identified ephemeral streams within the Conceptual Project Boundary are episodic stream channels that appear to convey flows only during and immediately after precipitation events. Many of the ephemeral channels in the Conceptual Project Boundary are typical of arid fluvial systems including sparsely vegetated washes with sand or sand and gravel beds with varying densities of scattered stones of variable sizes (HDR 2021a). Historic agricultural activities within portions of the Project vicinity have disturbed natural hydrology through some ephemeral washes. The complete methods and results of the Section 404 Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study are presented in the Aquatic Resources Delineation Study (HDR 2021a) (included as Appendix B) and summarized above in Section 3.4 Water Resources.
3.5.1.2
Fisheries Both coldwater and warmwater gamefish species are present in Duck Creek, including rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout, largemouth bass, and northern pike (Esox lucius) (BLM 2008b). Native non-gamefish species are also present in the Project vicinity, including species from sucker (Catostomidae), minnow (Cyprinidae), and killifish (Fundulidae) families (BLM 2008b). No additional information regarding specific species of these families is provided. No obligate migrant fish species (catadromous or anadromous) are known to be present in Duck Creek; however, some fish species may exhibit localized spawning migrations or movements related to seasonal habitat fluctuations.

Amphibians Amphibian species present in Duck Creek are not known. Three amphibian species are found in White Pine County, including the northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens), western toad (Anaxyrus boreas), and Great Basin spadefoot (Spea intermontana). However, their distributions are not well understood (White Pine County 2018). The northern leopard frog is a BLM sensitive species and NDOW-protected amphibian and is discussed further below. As noted in the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study (Appendix E) performed in 2020 and 2021, the Sierran treefrog (Pseudacris sierra), a non-listed species, was observed in the spring and summer in the Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study area.
3.5.1.5
Macroinvertebrates No information is available describing freshwater mollusks, crayfish, or benthic macroinvertebrates in Duck Creek specifically. A review of NDOW records was requested, which resulted in records of several benthic macroinvertebrate species as occurring within 5 miles of the Conceptual Project Boundary. These include: crestless column (Pupilla hebes), forest disc (Discus whitneyi), mitered vertigo (Vertigo concinnula), Rocky Mountain column (Pupilla blandi) Schell Creek mountainsnail (Oreohelix nevadensis), sily vallonia (Vallonia cyclophorella), spruce snail (Microphysula ingersolli), western glass snail (Vitrina pellucida), and Whitepine mountainsnail (Oreohelix sp.).

No seasonal springs were observed; therefore, suitable habitat for springsnails does not occur in the study area.
3.5.1.6
Invasive Species The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) (503.597) defines Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) as exotic or non-native species to the State of Nevada, which the Board of Wildlife Commissioners has determined to be detrimental to aquatic life, water resources, or infrastructure for providing water (NDOW 2017). The Nevada AIS Management Plan Working Group developed a list of AIS and associated categorization for management prioritization (Table 3.5-3). Species that were determined as present in the State of Nevada (Types 2, 3, or 4) with related rankings are provided in Table 3.5-3. Most aquatic invasive fish species present in Nevada have control options available (Type 3) but have a high probability of ecological or economic impact. The only fish species established in Nevada with no control options available is the common carp (Cyprinus carpio); however, this species is also designated with a “low” impact rank designation.

Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Aquatic Species A list of Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed species potentially occurring within the Project Area 7 was prepared using the USFWS IPaC website (USFWS 2020). The USFWS IPaC System identified White River springfish (Crenichthys baileyi baileyi), Hiko White River springfish (Crenichthys baileyi grandis), and White River spinedace (Lepidomeda albivallis) as listed species or candidates for listing having the potential to occur in the vicinity of the study area (USFWS 2021). However, the Project Area is outside the known range of the three listed fish species. Additionally, no designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed aquatic species occurs within the Conceptual Project Boundary. The IPaC also listed the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as a candidate species having the potential to occur within the Project Area. This consultation is included in Appendix J. In addition to addressing the needs of ESA-listed species, the Nevada Natural Heritage Program (NNHP) database was reviewed for the status and distribution of state-listed threatened and endangered aquatic species with the potential to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary. All of these species are also considered BLM sensitive species (NNHP 2020). State-listed species that are expected to occur in White Pine County are listed in Table 3.5-5. It is not expected that any of the aquatic species listed in the table occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary.
7 Project Area is defined as the Conceptual Project Boundary plus a 5-mile buffer.

As part of the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study (Appendix E), habitat suitability was assessed for the northern leopard frog, a BLM sensitive species and NDOW-protected amphibian that ranges across much of Nevada but has declined and become extirpated from much of its former range in recent decades. This species requires permanent, shallow (less than 2 feet deep), still, or slow-moving water with rooted aquatic vegetation for breeding and wet meadows and fields for postbreeding habitat (NDOW 2012). There is permanent shallow water with rooted aquatic vegetation in the study area (Duck Creek) (HDR 2021a). Field studies have not identified northern leopard frog in the Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study area to date, but the species is well documented as occurring in Spring Valley on the opposite side of the Schell Creek Range, approximately 12 miles east of the Project (Southern Nevada Water Authority [SNWA] 2016).

Environmental Effects – Fish and Aquatic Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on fish and aquatic resources. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on fish and aquatic resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section. As described above, two perennial channels (Duck Creek and a tributary to Duck Creek) and 26 ephemeral channels are present in the Project vicinity. However, suitable fish and aquatic habitat is limited within the Conceptual Project Boundary. As previously described, the majority of the identified ephemeral streams within the Conceptual Project Boundary are episodic stream channels that appear to convey flows only during and immediately after precipitation events. Many of the ephemeral channels in the Conceptual Project Boundary are typical of arid fluvial systems including sparsely vegetated washes with sand or sand and gravel beds with varying densities of scattered stones of variable sizes. During construction, soil disturbances associated with clearing, access road construction, construction of the reservoirs, and other activities can cause erosion and sedimentation and potentially lead to impacts threatening aquatic life. Precautions would be included in the final design, construction, and maintenance of the proposed Project to minimize potential impacts and to avoid the addition of sediment or siltation to surface waters.

WPW does not anticipate Project operational effects on fish and aquatic resources, as the Project is closed-loop and not connected to any existing surface water sources. Initial fill water will be provided by groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County in the Steptoe Valley. The Project reservoirs may provide aquatic habitat for macroinvertebrates, amphibians, or fish species introduced by birds, wildlife, or humans or through natural colonization. Any aquatic species that come to inhabit the reservoirs will be subject to large fluctuations in reservoir level and it is not expected that the reservoirs will sustain populations of fish. However, the reservoirs will be fenced and fishing will not be permitted.
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Aquatic Species No impacts are expected to RTE fish species since none are known to occur in surface waters potentially affected by Project construction or operations (Duck Creek, a tributary to Duck Creek, and 26 ephemeral channels within the Conceptual Project Boundary). Similarly, no impacts are expected to the northern leopard frog, as the only suitable habitat for this species is restricted to Duck Creek, which will be protected during construction by site-specific BMPs in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, in addition to WPW’s development and implementation of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.5.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021, including an Aquatic Resources Delineation study; responses to stakeholder comments as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided as Appendix A.
3.5.4.2
Applicant Recommendations The Project is not expected to affect fish and aquatic resources. WPW will address erosion associated with all aspects of Project construction via an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Using BMPs endorsed by the State of Nevada, the plan will describe requisite erosion control measures to ensure that impacts are minimized. Both Nevada state law and the federal CWA require NPDES permitting for construction activities.

WPW proposes to develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during construction, operations, or maintenance. The Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan will specify materials handling procedures and storage requirements and identify spill cleanup procedures for areas and processes in which spills may occur. The plan will standardize process operations procedures and employee training in an effort to minimize accidental pollutant releases which could contaminate surface or groundwater or storm water runoff. Upon engagement of the construction contractor, after the license has been issued, WPW proposes to develop all necessary BMPs and acquire the proper state and local permits to construct and operate the Project. Any plans that are conditions of the license will be submitted to FERC for its approval prior to Project construction.

Botanical Resources The subsections below describe botanical resources in the vicinity of the Project and consider the effects of constructing and operating the Project as proposed by WPW on these resources. Descriptions of the affected environment, environmental effects, and proposed PM&E measures were developed based on available data presented in the Licensee’s PAD and the: •
Aquatic Resources Delineation Report (HDR 2021a);
•
2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study Report (HDR 2021b); and
•
Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Report (HDR 2021c).
Field surveys were conducted in September 2020 and July 2021 to document vegetation types, special-status plant species, and noxious weeds in the Conceptual Project Boundary. Vegetation types were mapped in the field utilizing GPS equipment loaded with aerial imagery. The results of these studies form the baseline characterization of botanical resources in the Project vicinity, with the relevant results discussed in the subsections below. Associated database queries for botanical resources were conducted for the Conceptual Project Boundary and a surrounding buffer of 5 miles, or for all of White Pine County in the case of BLM sensitive plant species.
3.6.1
Affected Botanical Environment The proposed Project is located in east-central White Pine County, approximately 8 miles northeast of Ely, Nevada. The Conceptual Project Boundary occurs between elevation 6,140 and 8,650 feet in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada, which is primarily basin and range topography with numerous wide desert valleys separated by parallel mountain ranges generally oriented north to south, which range from 4,000 feet to over 10,000 feet (USGS 2012). The average temperatures range from 39.0°F in January to 86.9°F in July. The average annual rainfall for the POR (1892-2016) in the study area is 8.86 inches, which is partially comprised of an average annual snowfall of 22.10 inches February 2022 | 97

(Western Regional Climate Center 2021). The Conceptual Project Boundary is dominated by sagebrush scrub and pinyon-juniper woodland with some occurrences of chaparral communities. A riparian woodland associated with Duck Creek occurs at the east end of the Conceptual Project Boundary.
3.6.1.1
Land Cover Types and Habitats As described above, the Conceptual Project Boundary primarily consists of three habitats: 1) types of sagebrush scrub differentiated by dominant species, 2) types of pinyon-juniper woodland differentiated by tree canopy cover, and 3) a riparian woodland. These three habitats, along with less common habitats and other land covers, are described in greater detail below.
3.6.1.2
Botanical Resources Field surveys identified 25 different habitats and land covers in the Conceptual Project Boundary. These are identified in Table 3.6-1 and described in detail here. The full SpecialStatus Plants and Noxious Weeds Study report is presented in Appendix C. Typical species found in these communities in 2021 field surveys are discussed in the following sections as described in the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b). Most of the upland habitats in the Conceptual Project Boundary have an herbaceous community with a low to moderate amount of cover, as well as a low to moderate cover of perennial grasses. The most commonly encountered herb species include cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus), James’ cryptantha (Cryptantha cinera var. abortiva), flat spine sheepbur (Lappula occidentalis), long spur lupine (Lupinus arbustus), desert Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia var. dubia), and Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). The most commonly encountered perennial grasses included thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii), and indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides) (HDR 2021b, 2021c). The Conceptual Project Boundary includes two types of palustrine wetland habitat (palustrine emergent [PEM] and palustrine scrub-shrub [PSS]), and two types of riverine habitat (riverine upper perennial unconsolidated bottom cobble-gravel [R3UB1] and riverine upper perennial unconsolidated bottom sand [R3UB2]) as classified by Cowardin et al. (1979). These habitats occur in the Inter-Mountain Basins Meadow and the InterMountain Basins Montane Riparian System as described below.

3.6.1.3
Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat occurs throughout the Conceptual Project Boundary and occurs in three forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with minimal bare ground. Open and very open canopy forms have a high cover of shrub species with bare ground making up the remainder of the habitat, differing in density of tree cover of approximately 5 to 25 percent for the open canopy form, and less than 5 percent for the very open canopy form. This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. A shrub community is present and total cover is generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees, with low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), and musk phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides) being most commonly seen. The herbaceous community cover and perennial grasses are also generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees.
3.6.1.4
Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral This habitat occurs in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir and is dominated by antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of perennial grasses, matted wild buckwheat, and broom snakeweed. Scattered trees of Utah juniper occur in this habitat, but at minimal cover. The herbaceous community has minimal cover, with a moderate to high amount of bare ground. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland described below but has low cover of sagebrush species (Artemisia spp.).
3.6.1.5
Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat occurs throughout the Conceptual Project Boundary and is dominated by little sagebrush and/or black sagebrush in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of broom matchweed, rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana), and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated Utah juniper trees may occur in this habitat, but at no more than one percent cover. The herbaceous community has some cover of cheatgrass but has a relatively low amount of cover. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, but it is essentially devoid of antelope bitterbrush. This habitat has four forms in addition to the standard form described above. A big sagebrush shrubland form of this habitat is present at various places along the proposed transmission corridor. This form differs from the standard form in having codominance with big sagebrush, but not at sufficient cover to define it as Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland. A disturbed form of this habitat is present in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir and appears to be disturbed from an abandoned development. This form differs from the standard form in having approximately half the vegetation cover of the standard form. February 2022 | 100

A juniper savannah form occurs in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and differs from the standard form in having scattered clusters of Utah juniper, but not at sufficient levels to define it as a juniper woodland, along with a higher cover of perennial grass species. A serviceberry shrubland form occurs along the middle portion of the proposed transmission corridor. This form differs from the standard in that the dominant shrub species is alder leaf serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) with low sagebrush as a codominant.
3.6.1.6
Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat occurs along the proposed transmission corridor. It is dominated in the shrub community by big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) with scattered occurrences of low sagebrush, black sagebrush, and rubber rabbitbrush. This habitat has minimal cover of grasses or herbs and has a disturbed form near SR-490 and in Smith Valley with approximately 75 percent bare ground.
3.6.1.7
Inter-Mountain Basins Cliff and Canyon This habitat occurs in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir and is an exposed rocky cliff face surrounded by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe and Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland. Although scattered individuals from the plant species in those habitats do occur on the cliff, total vegetation cover is minimal.
3.6.1.8
Inter-Mountain Basins Curl-Leaf Mountain Mahogany Woodland This habitat occurs in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir and is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree community. Sagebrush is present in this habitat at a relatively low cover and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub community include Utah snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus var. utahensis), broom matchweed, and perennial grasses. The herbaceous community has minimal to moderate cover of cheatgrass along with cover of other herb species noted above in Table 3.6-1.
3.6.1.9
Inter-Mountain Basins Greasewood Flat This habitat occurs in the Smith Valley portion of the proposed transmission corridor. It is dominated by greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus) in the shrub community with scattered occurrences of shadscale and rubber rabbitbrush.
3.6.1.10 Inter-Mountain Basins Meadow This habitat occurs in between proposed upper reservoir staging areas 1 and 2 and is dominated in the herb community by matted muhly (Muhlenbergia richardsonis), Arctic rush (Juncus balticus), Douglas’ sedge (Carex douglasii), western dock (Rumex

occidentalis), as well as great basin lyme grass (Leymus cinereus) around the margin of the habitat.
3.6.1.11 Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Desert Scrub This habitat occurs along the proposed transmission corridor and in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir. This habitat is dominated either by winterfat and indian ricegrass, or by sticky flower rabbitbrush, in the shrub layer with some scattered and isolated cover of broom matchweed and low sagebrush. The herbaceous community has minimal cover and bare ground comprises approximately one quarter of the area. This habitat is similar to the formally described Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Salt Desert Scrub; however, it differs by being devoid of saltbush.
3.6.1.12 Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Riparian System This habitat occurs at the east end of the Conceptual Project Boundary. This habitat is dominated by narrow leaf willow (Salix exigua) and barren ground willow (Salix boothii) in the tree community, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a closed canopy. The shrub community has sparsely scattered occurrences of Wood’s rose (Rosa woodsii) and golden current (Ribes aureum). Rubber rabbitbrush and big sagebrush occur above the banks of this habitat. An herbaceous community is present along Duck Creek in the center of this habitat containing Arctic rush, Sierran rush (Juncus nevadensis), Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis), tufted hair grass (Deschampsia cespitosa), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).
3.6.1.13 Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat occurs in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that perennial grass species range from sub-dominant to co-dominant with sagebrush species. The tree community is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata) at lower elevations and lava aster (Ionactis alpina) and stemless mock goldenweed (Stenotus acaulis var. acaulis) at higher elevations are present. An herbaceous community is present but has relatively low cover. Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat.
3.6.1.14 Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland This habitat occurs in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir and is dominated by perennial grasses, with some cover of broom matchweed and little sagebrush. The herbaceous community has minimal cover with patches of pinnate tansymustard (Descurainia sophia) and thick stem wild cabbage (Caulanthus crassicaulis) with bare ground comprising the rest of the habitat.

3.6.1.15 Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat occurs along SR-93 in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir and is dominated by cheatgrass with scattered occurrences of pinnate tansymustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella).
3.6.1.16 Agriculture This land cover occurs along the proposed transmission corridor and consists of planted crops varying in species.
3.6.1.17 Developed, Medium – High Intensity This land cover occurs at opposite ends of the proposed transmission corridor consisting of an electrical substation at the west end and a private junkyard at the east end.
3.6.1.18 Disturbed, Non-Specific This land cover occurs at scattered locations along the proposed transmission corridor, typically as a transition from development to a natural habitat with minimal vegetation cover. Additionally, this land cover also occurs around McGill Spring, which has been heavily impacted by a vertical culvert, fencing, and intensive cattle grazing. Vegetation outside of the fencing around McGill Spring is heavily trampled and grazed to the point that the ground cover is mostly thatch.
3.6.1.19 Hardscape Road This land cover comprises all paved roads in the Conceptual Project Boundary.
3.6.1.20 Railroad This land cover comprises all railroad lines in the Conceptual Project Boundary.
3.6.1.21 Noxious Weeds and Invasive Species Invasive species are defined by the BLM’s Ely Field Office as “alien (nonnative) species whose introduction into an environment where they did not evolve does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health” (BLM 2021). Non-native invasive species and noxious weeds are typically prolific pioneering species that have the ability to quickly outcompete native vegetation. They grow rapidly, mature early, and effectively spread seeds that can survive for significant periods in the soil until site conditions are favorable for growth. Of the 12 BLM invasive species known to occur in the vicinity of the Conceptual Project Boundary (BLM 2021), seven were found in the Conceptual Project Boundary during field surveys. These species are listed in Table 3.6-2 and the locations of these species are depicted in Appendix C.

Of these seven species, bull thistle and annual foxtail are restricted to the immediate banks above Duck Creek. Halogeton was found to be widespread in the vicinity of the invasive annual grassland habitat type. Horehound was primarily found in the vicinity of the existing railroad tracks near the proposed lower reservoir and conveyance channel. Cheatgrass was found to be widespread throughout the entire Conceptual Project Boundary except for the Smith Valley and Steptoe Valley portions of the proposed transmission corridor. Redstem filaree (Erodium cicutarium) and curveseed butterwort (Ranunculus testiculatus) were found incidentally with no specific geography noted. Field surveys identified two species of State of Nevada-designated noxious weeds occurring in the Conceptual Project Boundary: Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) and musk thistle (Carduus nutans), consisting of approximately 90 individuals and 13 observed individuals, respectively, were found in the vicinity of Duck Creek. These species are both State of Nevada Category C noxious weeds, which is defined as “weeds that are generally established and generally widespread in many counties of the State” (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2021). The locations of these species are depicted in Appendix C.

3.6.1.22 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plant Species A list of ESA-listed species potentially occurring within 5 miles of the Conceptual Project Boundary was prepared using the USFWS IPaC website (USFWS 2021). No ESA-listed plant species were reported from the IPaC website and as such, ESA-endangered or ESAthreatened plant species would not occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary. No designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed species occurs within 5 miles of the Conceptual Project Boundary (USFWS 2021). This consultation is included in Appendix J. In addition to addressing the needs of ESA-listed species, the NNHP database was reviewed for state-listed threatened and endangered plant species known to occur or with the potential to occur in White Pine County (NNHP 2019). Three critically endangered species were found from this database review: Monte Neva paintbrush (Castilleja salsuginosa), sunnyside green gentian (Frasera gypsicola), and Ute ladies'-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis). Ute ladies'-tresses is also an ESA-listed species; however, there are no records of this species occurring in White Pine County (NNHP 2019). Additionally, all of these species are also considered BLM sensitive species (BLM 2017). As explained in the PAD, it is not expected that any of these species occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary due to the lack of required soils (WPW 2020). The BLM maintains a list of sensitive plant species for Nevada (BLM 2017). A review of the NNHP database included records of BLM sensitive plant species known to occur in White Pine County (NNHP 2019). Table 3.6-3 summarizes the BLM sensitive plant species with the potential to occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary and habitat requirements. No BLM sensitive plant species were detected in the surveyed areas during the 2021 field investigations.

3.6.2
Environmental Effects – Botanical Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on botanical resources. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on botanical resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section.
3.6.2.1
Project Effects on Habitats Project construction activities are expected to have effects on botanical resources ranging from permanent conversion from a habitat to a non-vegetated land cover, to temporary impacts resulting from staging areas and disturbance buffers around permanent Project components. It is expected that construction of the reservoirs would create the greatest amount of permanent displacement of habitat. Once the Project is constructed, Project O&M activities will likely continue to affect vegetation resources, but at a lower level of intensity than during construction. These activities will likely include periodic vegetation management along the proposed transmission corridor and access roads, as well as periodic access for maintenance and repair of the existing facilities in the surrounding vegetation. February 2022 | 107

Permanent vegetation impacts associated with the Project are not likely to have long-term effects on plant communities in the vicinity of the Project. All of the communities impacted by construction of the proposed Project are well-represented in Steptoe Valley, in the Duck Creek Range, or throughout the rest of the transmission line right-of-way. Additionally, it is WPW’s intent to mitigate for displacement and disturbance of vegetation through development of a Habitat Restoration, Reclamation and Enhancement Plan. Thus, the Project will not likely have any significant impacts to terrestrial botanical resources.
3.6.2.2
Project Effects on Noxious Weeds and Invasive Species Nonnative invasive plant species can impact human and other environmental resources. Areas where vegetation and soils have been disturbed are more susceptible to invasion by invasive weeds than undisturbed environments. Aggressive invasive weeds crowd out native vegetation and alter the natural environment and habitat for wildlife species, as well as affecting agricultural water-use efficiency and recreational land values. They can adversely affect native plant species, plant communities, and wildlife habitat through competition. Noxious weed and invasive species observations occurred throughout the 2021 field season 2021. During the field studies, the occurrence and distribution of two State of Nevada noxious weeds and seven BLM invasive species were observed in and adjacent to the Conceptual Project Boundary. Three species (bull thistle, musk thistle, and fox tail barley) are restricted to the banks above Duck Creek in the eastern portion of the Conceptual Project Boundary and are not expected to be affected by the Project. The remaining six species are not as restricted in their distribution in the Conceptual Project Boundary. The invasive plant species found in and adjacent to the Conceptual Project Boundary are known to occur throughout the western United States and are spread by various land uses. The combination of past and present land use activities in the Project vicinity has contributed to and likely will continue to facilitate the creation of disturbed and weedy habitats. It is well known that many types of land uses contribute to the invasion and spread of non-native invasive species including any and all ground-disturbing activities as well as any activities that promote the dispersal of weed seed. Roads, agriculture, farming/ranching, recreation, and residential and commercial developments all can contribute to the spread of invasive botanical species. WPW intends to minimize and control the spread of invasive botanical species that could result from construction and operation of the Project through development of a Weed Management Plan. Given adequate and appropriate weed management and site restoration activities, the Project should have minimal negative effects on plant communities and could provide a net benefit by reducing weed infestations in the Conceptual Project Boundary and vicinity.
3.6.2.3
Project Effects on Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plants WPW consulted with the USFWS, NNHP, and BLM to identify RTE plant species in the Project vicinity. WPW also conducted specific studies and incidental field observations to February 2022 | 108

identify these resources in conjunction with other field activities conducted in 2021 in support of the Project licensing. The field surveys did not identify any ESA-listed, BLM sensitive, or state-listed threatened and endangered plant species. Additionally, the Conceptual Project Boundary does not have suitable habitat for any plant species currently listed, or a candidate for listing, under the ESA, nor for any state-listed threatened and endangered plant species. Therefore, there are no expected Project effects on ESA-listed plant species or state-listed threatened and endangered plant species. The eight BLM sensitive species listed in Table 3.6-3 were targeted for field surveys in 2021. Although initially considered as having the potential to occur, results from the field surveys have determined that the potential does not exist for Waxflower (Jamesia tetrapetala) to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary as this is a shrub species and it would have been detected if it was present. Although suitable habitat for the remaining seven species does occur, actual occurrences of these species were not observed during intensive field survey efforts and the lack of observations during field surveys suggest that the Project is not expected to affect the overall population of these seven species even if a stray occurrence is observed in subsequent years. By definition, all species of cactus in Nevada are protected under Title 47, Chapter 527, §060 through §120 of NRS. Three species of cactus were found during field surveys (see Section 3.6.1.22 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plant Species). The Project has the potential to affect individuals of mountain ball, plains pricklypear, and spinystar cacti if they are not salvaged prior to ground disturbance.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.6.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021, including a Botanical Resources study; responses to stakeholder comments as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided as Appendix A.
3.6.4.2
Applicant Recommendations This section identifies PM&E measures that WPW proposes to incorporate into the design/pre-construction, construction, and operation phases of the Project to address impacts on botanical resources, including RTE plant species. WPW will continue to develop and refine these PM&E measures in consultation with the agencies.

Design/Pre-Construction Protection Measures
•
WPW will reduce habitat loss by designing the Project to use existing access roads wherever possible.
•
The Project transmission line will be located adjacent to an existing transmission line within an existing permitted energy corridor already designated for new development; thus reducing potential for impacts to botanical resources. Impacts on habitats of steep cliffs between the two Project reservoirs will be largely avoided since WPW proposes to construct the underground water conveyance tunnel, powerhouse access tunnel, transmission and emergency egress tunnel, and penstock tunnel using drill and blast, raised bore, sequential excavation methods, tunnel boring machine or any other tunnel boring techniques as may be determined to be reasonable and appropriate during the final design phase.
Construction Protection Measures
•
WPW will develop a biological training program to inform Project employees of the sensitive biological resources.
•
WPW proposes to develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during construction, operations, or maintenance. The Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan will specify materials handling procedures and storage requirements and identify spill cleanup procedures for areas and processes in which spills may occur. The plan will standardize process operations procedures and employee training in an effort to minimize accidental pollutant releases which could contaminate surface or groundwater or storm water runoff.
•
WPW will develop a Weed Management Plan. This plan will include measures to reduce the spread of existing noxious weed and invasive plant species to the extent practicable and could reduce or eliminate the current extents of State of Nevada noxious weed species in the Conceptual Project Boundary.
•
WPW will develop a Habitat Restoration, Reclamation, and Enhancement Plan. The plan will identify the specific measures to be taken to restore vegetation disturbed by Project-related construction activities. The objectives of revegetation efforts are to prevent soil erosion and the spread of weeds, maintain or restore existing native plant communities and wildlife habitat, and integrate site features with the surrounding environment.
Operations Protection Measures
•
WPW will develop a biological training program to inform Project employees of the sensitive biological resources.
•
WPW will develop a Weed Management Plan, which will include requirements to periodically survey for noxious weeds and eradicate any found during the life of the Project. February 2022 | 110

•
WPW will develop a Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan that will include measures to address potential issues resulting from spills of hazardous substances or fuels during operations and maintenance.
•
Should future temporary ground disturbance be needed on the Project, the Habitat Restoration, Reclamation, and Enhancement Plan will be used to develop site-specific restoration, reclamation, and enhancement measures at that time.
Wildlife Resources The subsections below describe wildlife resources in the vicinity of the Project and consider the effects of constructing and operating the Project as proposed by the Licensee on these resources. Descriptions of the affected environment, the environmental effects, and the proposed PM&E measures were developed based on available data presented in the Licensee’s PAD and the:
3.7.1
•
2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b); and
•
Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study (HDR 2021d).
Affected Wildlife Environment The proposed Project is located in east-central White Pine County, approximately 8 miles northeast of Ely, Nevada (WPW 2020). The Project is situated between 6,140 and 8,650 feet in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada (USGS 2012). The average temperatures range from between 86.9°F in July to 39.0°F in January. The average annual precipitation for the POR (1892-2016) in the Project vicinity is 8.86 inches, while average annual snowfall is 22.1 inches (Western Regional Climate Center 2021). The proposed Conceptual Project Boundary is inhabited by a variety of wildlife species and provides a range of habitats dominated by sagebrush scrub and pinyon-juniper woodland. A riparian woodland associated with Duck Creek occurs at the east end of the Project vicinity and chaparral habitat types also sporadically occur in the Project vicinity. Seasonal cattle grazing occurs throughout the Project vicinity. A detailed description of vegetation communities and land cover types found in the Project vicinity is included in Section 3.6 Botanical Resources. The habitat types and terrestrial species that occur, or are likely to occur, within the Project vicinity are discussed in the subsections below. For the purposes of wildlife resources and associated database queries, the “Project Area” is defined as the Conceptual Project Boundary and a surrounding buffer of 5 miles.
3.7.1.1
Wildlife Habitat and Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment WPW conducted a Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b) within the Conceptual Project Boundary, including background literature reviews, desktop analyses, and field investigations. The results of this study form the baseline and over-arching characterization of terrestrial habitat and wildlife within the February 2022 | 111

Project Area; as such, the study methods are summarized in this section with the relevant results discussed in the subsections below. The study methods and results are described in detail in the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b) as Appendix E to this DLA. Before starting field surveys, the USFWS IPaC tool was queried for ESA-listed wildlife species within 5 miles of the Conceptual Project Boundary, information requests were made with NDOW using their Data Request Form for lands covering the entire Project Area, and records of all BLM sensitive and other sensitive species in the Ely Ranger District and in White Pine County were reviewed along with species accounts in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan. The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan was also reviewed for pertinent information (HDR 2021b). Field surveys were conducted in September 2020 and April 2021 to document natural communities, wildlife, Special-Status wildlife species, and wildlife habitat types in the Conceptual Project Boundary. Vegetation types were mapped in the field on GPS equipment loaded with aerial imagery. The information from this mapping was digitized in ArcMap and included on field maps for use during the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study (described in Section 3.6, Botanical Resources) and Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study (described below in Section 3.7.1.8 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species) (HDR 2021b). In order to determine the potential for RTE wildlife species to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary, habitat characteristics reported as suitable for these species were identified. These characteristics were then further refined into three parameters with specific elements that must be present for a habitat to be considered suitable to a species. Species were then sorted into groups based on these three parameters. Some species groups consist of multiple species that share three specific parameters, while other species groups only consist of a single species because the parameters for that species were not suited to any others. Some species identified from this analysis were determined to have habitat preferences so broad that they would have the potential to occur nearly anywhere across the Project and were, therefore, not included in a species group for habitat suitability analysis. The parameters were used to score distinct habitat provinces identified throughout the Conceptual Project Boundary during the habitat mapping effort as more suitable or less suitable to the species groups. Each of the mapped habitat provinces was assessed in the field as to whether it included three, two, one, or none of the parameters considered suitable for each species group. Maps were then created to depict how many parameters each of the mapped habitat provinces across the study area included for each species group (i.e., habitat suitability index). This information was then used to describe the potential for RTE wildlife to occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary and for the Project to potentially adversely affect RTE wildlife and their habitats (HDR 2021b).
3.7.1.2
Habitat As described above, the proposed Conceptual Project Boundary is primarily dominated by sagebrush scrub and pinyon-juniper woodland (HDR 2021b). Anthropogenic disturbances in the form of past and present uses of the area (e.g., abandoned mines, roadways, February 2022 | 112

utilities, fences) are commonly located within and adjacent to the Conceptual Project Boundary. Most of the proposed Project, excluding the westernmost section of the proposed transmission line, is in the Steptoe Valley Basin in east-central Nevada. Steptoe Valley extends northward from the southern end of White Pine County for approximately 110 miles into southern Elko County. Schell Creek Range bounds the east side of the valley and the Egan and Cherry Creek Ranges form the western boundary. Commonly, the crests of these ranges are 3,000 to 4,000 feet above the valley axis. East of McGill, the crest of the Schell Creek Range is approximately 11,000 feet for several miles. Duck and Steptoe Creeks, which drain the higher parts of the Schell Creek Range, are the principal streams in Steptoe Valley (NDCNR 1967). The SVWMA is located immediately south of Ely, Nevada along U.S. Highway 93/50 in White Pine County. The property consists of 12,806 acres and includes Comins Lake, which is located approximately 6 miles south of Ely. NDOW had a long-term interest in the acquisition of this property, dating back to the 1980s. Ely community leaders, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and numerous other partners worked together to purchase the property in 1999 and the property was established as the SVWMA in 2000. The BLM and USFS administer federal lands surrounding the SVWMA. The habitats of the SVWMA support an abundance of wildlife resources that contribute significantly to the biological diversity of eastern Nevada. The fauna of the SVWMA is extremely diverse due to the mosaic of habitat types present and NDOW’s habitat developments (NDOW undated-a). The SVWMA provides significant habitat for both upland game and mammals, including greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). There are several active sage-grouse lek sites on the benches surrounding the SVWMA. Sage-grouse hens and broods are frequently seen in the meadows of the SVWMA during the summer (NDOW undated-a). Recent population estimates for greater sage-grouse in White Pine County showed 100 active leks with a total sage-grouse population estimate of 5,800 to 6,800 birds. The BLM Ely District monitored 91 leks in 2003 and found 44 to be active with more than 400 male sage-grouse observed (Bi-State Sage Grouse Conservation Team 2004). Based on the results of the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b), a total of 25 land cover and vegetation types occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary. A full description of these land covers and vegetation types, as well as maps depicting the locations of these areas within the Conceptual Project Boundary, are included in Section 3.6 Botanical Resources. The three dominant vegetation types occurring in the Conceptual Project Boundary (described below), in decreasing order of dominance include: 1) Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland; 2) Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland – Closed; and 3) Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (HDR 2021b). Most of the upland vegetation types identified during the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b) have an herbaceous community with low to moderate cover, as well as low to moderate cover of perennial grasses. Some of the most commonly encountered herbaceous species included cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), and thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus). The most commonly encountered perennial grasses included thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), February 2022 | 113

Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii), and indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides) (HDR 2021b).
3.7.1.3
Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This vegetation type occurs throughout the area within the Conceptual Project Boundary and is dominated by little sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and/or black sagebrush (A. nova) in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana), and matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum). Scattered isolated Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) trees may occur in this vegetation type, but at no more than one percent cover. The herb community contains some cover of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), but at a relatively low amount of cover. This vegetation type has four forms in addition to the standard form described above and these varying vegetation forms are fully described in Section 3.6 Botanical Resources.
3.7.1.4
Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This vegetation type occurs throughout the area within the Conceptual Project Boundary and occurs in three forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with minimal bare ground. Open and very open canopy forms have a high cover of shrub species with bare ground making up the remainder of the habitat, differing in density of tree cover of approximately 5 to 25 percent for the open canopy form, and less than 5 percent for the very open canopy form (HDR 2021b). This vegetation type is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. A shrub community is present and total cover is generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees, with little sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush, broom snakeweed, matted wild buckwheat, and musk phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides) being most commonly observed. The herbaceous community cover and perennial grasses are also generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees (HDR 2021b).
3.7.1.5
Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This vegetation type occurs in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that perennial grass species range from sub-dominant to co-dominant with sagebrush species. The tree community is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata) at lower elevations and lava aster (Ionactis alpina) and stemless mock goldenweed (Stenotus acaulis var. acaulis) at higher elevations are present. An herb community is present, but of relatively low cover. Bare ground can make up approximately 25 to 75 percent of the landscape of this vegetation type (HDR 2021b).

3.7.1.6
Terrestrial Wildlife Of the non-avian terrestrial vertebrates reported for Nevada (American Society of Mammalogists 2021; NDOW 2022), a total of 14 mammal species, seven reptile species, and one amphibian species were observed within the Conceptual Project Boundary during the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b) (Table 3.7-1). Additionally, the expansive amount of undeveloped land in White Pine County provides vast amounts of habitat for a wide variety of wildlife including big game species such as elk (Cervus elaphus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), as well as a variety of small mammal species and reptiles. White Pine County supports some of the largest big game herds in the State of Nevada, making it one of Nevada’s premier hunting and wildlife viewing destinations. Nineteen NDOW Game Management Units are located in White Pine County. Those that occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary include units 104, 111, 121, and 131 (White Pine County 2018). Table 3.7-2 presents recent NDOW population estimates for mule deer, elk, and pronghorn for White Pine County. The largest elk herd in Nevada inhabits the SVWMA and the nearby mountain ranges. The SVWMA provides spring, summer, and early-fall habitat, while the adjacent Schell Creek and Egan mountain ranges provide important wintering grounds for elk. Mule deer use the area throughout most of the year. Pronghorn populations have increased dramatically in the southern Steptoe Valley over the last several years and can be seen in the SVWMA from spring through fall (NDOW undated-a). Additionally, a variety of other upland mammals use the lands associated with the SVWMA, including pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis), mountain cottontail (Sylvilagus nuttallii), bobcat (Lynx rufus), kit fox (Vulpes macrotis), coyote (Canis latrans), badger (Taxidea taxus), and ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) (NDOW undated-a).

The State of Nevada owns or has long-term leases on more than 120,000 acres of land incorporated into Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) across the state that are managed by NDOW. The primary management emphasis on WMAs is the protection of wetlands and waterfowl, including the use of the areas as public hunting grounds. Hunting opportunities for sportsmen on WMAs include migratory game bird, upland game bird, furbearer, and big game hunting. The closest wildlife area is approximately 6 miles south of the Project and includes the SVWMA (NDOW undated-b). Species occurring within the Conceptual Project Boundary that are important for their commercial or recreational value include big game species such as elk, mule deer, bighorn February 2022 | 116

sheep, and pronghorn. Mule deer populations residing in Nevada normally migrate toward their winter range when deep snows accumulate in higher elevations. Winter ranges generally lie lower in elevation and provide stands of sagebrush and bitterbrush that not only provide food, but also shelter from the weather (NDOW undated-c-). Within the Conceptual Project Boundary, pronghorn were observed along the westernmost portion of the proposed transmission corridor in the spring of 2021 and the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir in the fall of 2020. Mule deer were observed in the vicinity of the upper reservoir in the spring and summer of 2021. Elk were observed in spring 2021 in the vicinity of Duck Creek and the proposed upper reservoir as well as in the vicinity of the central portion of the proposed transmission corridor. Additionally, NDOW recently completed a detailed collar study on mule deer in three management areas of northeastern Nevada. Although these management areas do not intersect the Conceptual Project Boundary, one of them, Area 10, is immediately west of the proposed transmission corridor and shows low migration corridor use in Jakes Valley (NDOW 2020a). Mapping of NDOW habitat designations for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn is provided in Figure 3.7-1, Figure 3.7-2, and Figure 3.7-3. Portions of the Project are located in crucial summer range for elk, crucial winter range for mule deer, and year-round range for pronghorn.

Other game, such as waterfowl, are also hunted in the Project vicinity. The Steptoe Valley is an important Great Basin stopover and resting area for waterfowl. Over 20 species of ducks have been recorded on the SVWMA (NDOW undated-a). Some of these species occur in the Project Area and vicinity year-round and others migrate in and out depending on the season.
3.7.1.7
Birds Lakes, streams, and wetland areas of White Pine County provide habitat for a wide variety of birds including shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl species. As previously mentioned, Steptoe Valley is an important Great Basin stopover and resting area for waterfowl. Waterfowl species commonly found in Steptoe Valley include mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), northern pintail (Anas acuta), gadwall (Mareca strepera), American wigeon (Mareca americana), northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata), cinnamon teal (Anas cyanoptera), canvasback (Aythya valisineria), redhead (Aythya americana), ruddy duck (Oxyura jamaicensis), and Canada goose (Branta canadensis). Greater white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons) and snow goose (Anser caerulescens) are less common visitors to Steptoe Valley during migration (NDOW undated-a). Great blue herons (Ardea herodias), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), American bitterns (Botaurus lentiginosus), white-faced ibis (Plegadis chihi), and great egrets (Ardea alba) are some of the wading birds found on the SVWMA. A total of 30 species of shorebirds have been recorded on the SVWMA, including black-necked stilts (Himantopus mexicanus), American avocets (Recurvirostra americana), Wilson’s phalaropes (Phalaropus tricolor), spotted sandpipers (Actitis macularius), and killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) (NDOW undated-a). Fifteen species of diurnal raptors have been recorded on the SVWMA including ferruginous hawks (Buteo regalis), Swainson’s hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and sharpshinned hawks (Accipiter striatus). Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) migrate through the Steptoe Valley in spring and fall, while rough-legged hawks (Buteo lagopus) and bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) overwinter in the area. Bald eagles feed on fish until the waterbodies freeze over, during which time they feed on birds, small mammals, and carrion. Golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are found in the vicinity of the SVWMA yearround (NDOW undated-a). Seventy-five bird species were recorded in the Conceptual Project Boundary or immediate Project vicinity during the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b). Among these were raptors such as peregrine falcon, northern goshawk, golden eagle, prairie falcon, and American kestrel. Greater sage-grouse are known to occur in the Project Area; this species is discussed in detail below. Waterfowl species such as sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis), ring-necked duck (Aythya collaris), ruddy duck, and Canada goose were also observed in the immediate Project vicinity. Numerous migratory, breeding, and year-round resident passerine bird species were also observed including black-throated sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata), juniper titmouse (Baeolophus ridgwayi), pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus), sage thrasher (Oreoscoptes montanus), and mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) among others (HDR 2021b).

3.7.1.8
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species A list of ESA-listed species potentially occurring within the Project Area 8 was prepared using the USFWS IPaC website (USFWS 2021). No ESA-listed terrestrial wildlife species were reported from the IPaC report. One ESA Candidate terrestrial wildlife species, the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), was reported from the IPaC report. Populations of Hall’s milkweed (Asclepias hallii), which can be utilized by monarch butterflies, were observed in the Conceptual Project Boundary (HDR 2021b). Based on this information, the monarch butterfly has the potential to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary; however, Candidate species are not afforded protection by the ESA or other statutes. No designated critical habitat for any ESA-listed species occurs in the Conceptual Project Boundary. This consultation is included in Appendix J. Golden eagle was confirmed present within the Conceptual Project Boundary during the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b). The last documented eagle nest in the Project vicinity was from 2011 (NDOW 2021b). Bald eagles are known to occur in the Project vicinity; however, the Conceptual Project Boundary is outside the known nesting range of bald eagles (USFWS 2007). In addition to addressing the needs of ESA-listed species, the NNHP database was reviewed for state-listed threatened and endangered terrestrial wildlife species known to occur or with the potential to occur in White Pine County (NNHP 2019). The only statelisted species that is expected to occur in White Pine County is the threatened spotted bat (Euderma maculatum). Spotted bats are found in a wide variety of habitats from low elevation desert scrub to high elevation coniferous forests if suitable roosting habitat exists.
8 Project area is defined as the Conceptual Project Boundary plus a 5-mile buffer.

This species primarily roosts in cracks and crevices associated with cliff faces, but there is some indication that mines and caves may be occasionally used, especially in winter. This species is a year-round resident that hibernates during the winter, but periodically rouses to forage and drink (NNHP 2019; Bradley et al. 2006). Much of the proposed upper reservoir, proposed lower reservoir, and lower portions of the proposed transmission corridor in the Steptoe and Smith Valleys were deemed unsuitable for this species due to lack of roosting habitat; no roosting habitat is present in the Conceptual Project Boundary (HDR 2021b). Additionally, NDOW has no records of this species in the Project vicinity (NDOW 2021b). The BLM maintains a list of sensitive terrestrial wildlife species for Nevada (BLM 2017). A review of the NNHP database for White Pine County included records of BLM sensitive terrestrial wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County (NNHP 2019). Additional species considered special-status by the State of Nevada were reviewed based on NDOW records (NDOW 2019, 2021b), records of state special-status species in White Pine County (NNHP 2019), and species accounts in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan (NDOW 2012). Per the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment (HDR 2021b), species were compiled from these reviews, analyzed for their potential to occur, and then grouped into a table if the species was determined to have the potential to occur in the Conceptual Project Boundary (Table 3.7-4). Nevada-designated furbearing and game species with the potential to occur in the Project vicinity are also included in this table.

Centrocercus urophasianus
NDOW GB, BLM S
Known to inhabit large, intact, and complex treeless landscapes with a diversity of sagebrush, native bunchgrasses, wildflowers, and wet meadows. Nesting, breeding, foraging, and brooding habitats can vary greatly. Additionally, the species is known to exhibit strong site fidelity to seasonal habitats, regardless if the area is no longer of value (USFWS 2010a).
Dusky grouse
Dendragapus obscurus
NDOW-GB
Primarily a solitary montane species. Coniferous forest, especially fir, mostly in open situations with a mixture of deciduous trees and shrubs (HDR 2021b).
Great Basin Empidonax traillii willow flycatcher adastus
Habitat Requirements short vegetation containing small mammals, reptiles, birds, and insects. Nests almost exclusively in trees (Tesky 1994).
BLM-S
Montane riparian habitat, with some spillover into lowland riparian areas. Found in both lowland and montane riparian habitats, and occasionally in other inundated areas such as aspen stands or wet meadows (HDR 2021b).
Peregrine falcon
Falco peregrinus
SE, BLM-S
Breeds in open landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites; nesting at elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in cities. Migration and winter in nearly any open habitat, but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake edges, and mountain chains (HDR 2021b).
Pinyon jay
Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus
BLM S
Pinyon pines, junipers; ranges into sagebrush. Under normal conditions, seldom found far from pinyon pines in pinyon-juniper woods. At times, perhaps when the pinyon cone crop fails, flocks are seen elsewhere in streamside groves, oak woods, or other habitats (Audubon undated).
Bald eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
BGEPA, SE
Near lakes, reservoirs, rivers, marshes, and coasts; scattered breeding occurrences in northern Nevada (HDR 2021b).
Loggerhead shrike
Lanius ludovicianus
NDOW S, BLM S
Breeding habitat is generally characterized as open areas dominated by grasses and/or forbs, interspersed with shrubs or trees and bare ground. In the western U.S., breeding habitat is associated with shrub-steppe, desert scrub, and pinyon-juniper woodlands. Generally, winter habitat requirements of the loggerhead shrike do not appear to differ markedly from breeding habitat requirements (USFWS 2000).

Melanerpes lewis
BLM-S
Open aspen, cottonwood, or pine woodlands with open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple dead trees and snags (HDR 2021b).
Long-billed curlew
Numenius americanus
BLM S
Avoids trees, tall weedy vegetation, and tall dense shrubs during the breeding season; nests typically located in the simplest, most open habitat available. It has been speculated that wet areas may be more attractive to foraging curlews due to the loosened substrate making it easier to probe for food items as well as attracting more prey items to the area. Coastal sandy beaches, intertidal mudflats, salt marshes, coastal and inland pastures and farmlands, freshwater wetlands, salt ponds, and agricultural pastures are used by wintering curlews (Fellows and Jones 2009).
Sage thrasher
Oreoscoptes montanus
NDOW S, BLM S
Breeds exclusively in shrub-steppe habitats. Expanses of dense sagebrush provide concealment, while bare ground provides foraging opportunities. During migration and winter, sage thrashers transition to grasslands with scattered shrubs and open pinyonjuniper woodlands (USFWS undated).
Flammulated owl
Psiloscops flammeolus
BLM-S
Montane forest with mature pines (preferably Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines), open canopy, brushy understory, and multiple cavities for nesting (HDR 2021b).
Brewer’s sparrow
Spizella breweri
NDOW S, BLM S
Actively seek sagebrush for nests and are generally considered to be a sagebrush obligate. Nests are usually placed in dense foliage. Prefers high densities of medium to tall sagebrush with scant herbaceous cover underneath for breeding. Retains preference for shrub-dominated habitats through migration. Winters in small flocks in the desert scrub of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico (Hansley and Beauvais 2004). Mammals
Pronghorn
Antilocapra americana
NDOW-GM
Prefers gentle rolling to flat, wide-open topography. Low sagebrush and northern desert shrubs are the preferred vegetation types. Areas such as these with low understory allow pronghorn to see great distances and permit the animals to move quickly to avoid predators (NDOW undated-d).
Pallid bat
Antrozous pallidus
NDOW P, BLM S
Occurs over a broad elevation range, from between 178 feet below sea level in Death Valley to 6,700 feet in the mountains of Nevada. Found in semi-arid habitats such as deserts, shrub-steppe, grasslands, and canyon lands, but also in ponderosa woodlands, mixed conifer forest, oak woodland, and riparian forest. Sources of water are usually present in their habitat (Gervais 2016).

Brachylagus idahoensis
NDOW GM, BLM S
Sagebrush obligate species up to 7,000 feet in Nevada (Green and Flinders 1980). Mature sagebrush, shrub-steppe with deep soils which are friable and conducive to digging burrows. Often found along washes and drainages (NNHP 2020).
Elk
Cervus elaphus
NDOW-GM
Ranges from roughly 6,000 feet on benches up to 11,200 feet in the mountains. During most seasons, the majority of elk are found between 6,500 feet and 10,000 feet. Typically located on gentle to steep topography on north-south trending mountain ranges (NDCNR 2009).
Townsend’s bigeared bat
Corynorhinus townsendii
NDOW S, BLM S
Found throughout Nevada, from low desert to high mountain habitats. Concentrated in areas offering caves or mines as roosting sites and preferring caves and mines where the temperature is 54°F or less, but usually above freezing. Believed to feed entirely on moths. Foraging occurs near vegetation and other surfaces and prey is probably gleaned from these surfaces (NDOW undated-e).
Big brown bat
Eptesicus fuscus
BLM S
Found in virtually every American habitat ranging from timberline meadows to lowland deserts, though this species is most abundant in deciduous forest areas. It also is often abundant in suburban areas of mixed agricultural use. Traditionally, these bats form maternity colonies beneath loose bark and in small cavities of pine, oak, beech, bald cypress, and other trees. Common maternity roosts can also be found in buildings, barns, bridges, and bat houses. Generalists in their foraging behavior and habitat selections, seemingly showing little preference for feeding over water vs. land, or in forests vs. clearings. Small beetles are their most frequent prey, yet big brown bats consume prodigious quantities of a wide variety of night-flying insects (Bat Conservation International 2021a).
Spotted bat
Euderma maculatum
ST, BLM S
Found in wetland, riparian, rock, cliff, desert, shrubland, grassland, or woodland habitats usually near a permanent water source. Roosts in caves and rock crevices mainly, but may also occasionally use mines, caves, and buildings as roost sites (NDOW undated-f).
Silver-haired bat
Lasionycteris noctivagans
BLM S
Forested areas of America most closely associated with coniferous, mixed coniferous, and deciduous forests, especially in old growth forests. Forms maternity colonies almost exclusively in tree cavities or small hollows. Silver-haired bats appear to hibernate mainly in forested areas. Even though they are highly dependent upon old-growth forest areas for roosts, silver-haired bats feed predominantly in disturbed areas, sometimes at treetop levels, often in small clearings and along roadways or water courses (Bat Conservation International 2021b).

Habitat Requirements
Lasiurus cinereus
BLM S
A migratory bat species; migrates to warm winter habitats. Summers are spent concealed in the foliage of mature deciduous and coniferous trees, typically near the edge of a clearing. After mating in autumn, females move to the northern, eastern, and central United States to give birth in mid-May to early July. Males remain in the mountainous areas of the western United States (Bat Conservation International 2021c).
Microdipodops megacephalus
BLM S
Inhabits dry desert areas where there is an abundance of loose sand and gravel. Because they inhabit the Great Basin, sand dunes and other ridges provide adequate shelter and temperature for dark kangaroo mice. Creates an underground system throughout sand dunes that provide protection from predators and extreme temperatures. Typical elevation ranges from 3,937 to 6,725 feet (Amos 2017).
BLM S
Found in a variety of habitats ranging from arid desert and badland habitats, and riparian zones in badlands and grasslands, to higher elevation conifer and deciduous woodlands. As a saxicolous species, it is usually associated with rocky areas (e.g., bluffs, dissected breaks, ridges, cliffs, major rock outcroppings) within these habitats. Water sources surrounded by desert shrubs, over higher-elevation water sources surrounded by pinyonjuniper, and over streams lined with deciduous trees (Schmidt 2003).
Western small- Myotis ciliolabrum footed myotis
Long-eared myotis
Myotis evotis
BLM S
Although long-eared myotis are considered primarily a forest-associated species, in northern Nevada they are common in pinyon-juniper and above, they also occur in sagebrush and desert scrub habitats. This species roosts in trees (in cavities, crevices, and under exfoliating bark), crevices in rock outcrops, and sometimes in caves and mines (Bradley et al. 2006; NNHP 2020).
Fringed myotis
Myotis thysanodes
NDOW P, BLM S
Found in a wide range of habitats from low desert scrub habitats to high elevation coniferous forest. Found from upper elevation creosote bush desert to pinyon-juniper and white fir (7,053 feet) in the White Pine Range (White Pine County). Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 1,377 and 7,086 feet (mean = 5,216 feet ± 1,289 feet) (Bradley et al. 2006).
Long-legged myotis
Myotis volans
BLM S
Found in pinyon-juniper, Joshua tree woodland, and montane coniferous forest habitats. Occasionally found in Mojave and salt desert scrub, and blackbrush, mountain shrub, and sagebrush. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 3,051 and 11,220 feet (mean = 6,781 feet ± 1,377 feet) (Bradley et al. 2006).

Odocoileus hemionus
NDOW GM
Moves between various zones from the forest edges at higher elevations to the desert floor, depending on the season. Generally, summers at higher elevations and winters at lower elevations, following the snow line. Occupies almost all types of habitat within their range, yet seems to prefer arid, open areas, and rocky hillsides. Areas with bitterbrush and sagebrush provide common habitat. Mature bucks tend to prefer rocky ridges for bedding grounds, while does and fawns are more likely to bed down in the open (NDOW undated-g).
American water shrew
Sorex palustris
BLM S
Most abundant along small cold streams with thick overhanging riparian growth. Also found around lakes, ponds, marshes, bogs, and other lentic habitats. Rarely far from water. Nest sites are near water in underground burrows, rafted logs, beaver lodges, and other areas providing shelter (NatureServe Explorer 2021b).
Brazilian freetailed bat
Tadarida brasiliensis
NDOW P, BLM S
Found in a wide variety of habitats. Although predominantly a lower elevation species, it has been found from 720 feet to >11,482 feet in the Sierra Nevada. Recent acoustic surveys reveal it is more widespread and common, at least in southern Nevada, than previously thought. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 688 and 8,366 feet (mean = 4,133 feet ± 1,843 feet) (Bradley et al. 2006).

Species in this row have a narrow range of nesting habitat requirements such as large wetlands or water bodies, old growth broadleaf forests, spruce and fir forests, and cottonwood or aspen woodlands.
Suitable nesting habitat is not present within the Conceptual Project Boundary, and while these species do have the potential to occur within the Conceptual Project Boundary, they are most likely to occur in passing during migration.
Bald eagle, Great Basin willow flycatcher, peregrine falcon
Species in this row have a narrow range of nesting habitat requirements such as large wetlands or water bodies, old growth broadleaf forests, spruce and fir forests, and cottonwood or aspen woodlands.
The known mapped breeding range for these species is far outside the Conceptual Project Boundary and any individuals observed are most likely migrating species.
Pronghorn, elk, and mule deer
Species in this row have broad habitat preferences that include many habitat types which are present within the Conceptual Project Boundary.
Broad suitability can be found in the habitat maps, based on BLM and NDOW range data, depicted in Figures 3.7-1, 3.7-2, and 3.7-3. During field studies, pronghorn were observed along the westernmost portion of the proposed transmission corridor in the spring of 2021 and the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir in the fall of 2020. In March 2021, a herd of approximately 20 elk was observed in Duck Creek Valley near the access road for the proposed upper reservoir, and another small group of elk was observed just north of the transmission line corridor near Gleason Creek. Mule deer were observed in the vicinity of the upper reservoir in the spring and summer of 2021.

Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study The greater sage-grouse is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet, including known lek locations in the Project vicinity. Sage-grouse are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2004). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male sage-grouse begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and sage-grouse begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined February 2022 | 136

as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two to three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, sage-grouse use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). Greater sage-grouse are classified as a game bird in Nevada, with 2021 hunts designated in Elko, Eureka, Lander, Humboldt, and Nye counties. Hunting of greater sage-grouse has been closed in White Pine County since 2018, excepting near Ruby Lake Wildlife Refuge in the northwest portion of the County. Sage-grouse habitat in Nevada was delineated by the USGS for the BLM in the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment Greater Sage-grouse Habitat Mapping (ARMPA Greater Sage-Grouse [GRSG] Habitat Mapping) (BLM 2015) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage for greater sage-grouse habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). In ARMPA GRSG Habitat Mapping, the management categories are defined as follows: •
PHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having the highest value to maintaining sustainable sage-grouse populations. Areas of PHMA largely coincide with areas identified as priority areas for conservation in the USFWS’s Conservation Objectives Team report. These areas include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas and migration or connectivity corridors.
•
GHMA – BLM-administered lands where some special management will apply to sustain sage-grouse populations; these are areas of occupied seasonal or year-round habitat outside of PHMA.
•
OHMA – BLM-administered lands identified as having low to moderate suitability for greater sage-grouse in areas of estimated low space use and which are less frequently used by greater sage-grouse.
Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect greater sage-grouse. WPW has, therefore, performed a greater sage-grouse study to assess the direct and indirect effects the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The study area, and areas classified as PHMA, GHMA, OHMA and non-habitat, are depicted in Figure 3.7-4. WPW conducted a fine-scale, outcome-based baseline assessment of greater sagegrouse habitat and lek status for the Project. The study included lek monitoring, a noise impact analysis, a lek proximity analysis, and a Conservation Credit System (CCS) and habitat suitability analysis. The noise impact analysis was performed to compare preProject noise levels to anticipated Project construction noise. The study methods and results are described in detail in White Pine’s Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study (HDR 2021d) included as Appendix D to this DLA.

WPW monitored eight greater sage-grouse lek locations on March 29 to 31, April 13 to 15, and April 27 to 29, 2021 (Figure 3.7-4). Surveyors performed bird counts at the lek sites and searched lekking areas on foot for signs of greater sage-grouse. During the field data collection, habitat suitability parameters were also collected in the Project area to determine the site-scale habitat suitability for breeding, late-brood rearing, and winter habitat. A proximity analysis for the three greater sage-grouse leks near the Project (Table 3.7-6) was completed with a Geographic Information System (GIS) to model the line of sight from the nearest sage-grouse lek towards the Project (HDR 2021d).

Greater sage-grouse were observed at three lek locations at least once during the lek monitoring, including at the two leks closest to the proposed reservoir facilities. Prior to 2021, the Canyon Springs NE lek and the Gilford Meadows lek were last surveyed in 2019 and were active. NDOW conducted lek counts at the Berry Creek Turnoff lek in 2021 and determined the lek to be active. Additionally, direct observation of greater sage-grouse was made at the proposed upper reservoir on July 12, 2021. Noise Impact Analysis
A noise impact study was completed to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction and operation of the Project. WPW consulted with NDOW regarding the protocol, monitoring locations, and instrumentation for the study and noise monitoring, and based on that consultation, the noise impact study was performed in accordance with Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2015); Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018); and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020b). The ARMPA stipulates that noise as a result of the Project will not increase 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking. NDOW biologists requested that noise monitors be placed at five lek locations within the Duck Creek Basin: Paine Meadows lek, Timber Creek Turnoff lek, Berry Creek Turnoff lek, Gilford Meadows lek, and the Canyon Springs NE lek. The Paine Meadows lek and Timber Creek Turnoff lek are more than 3.1 miles away from the Project area; however, NDOW requested noise measurements be collected at these leks to better model current and projected noise from traffic on State Route 486 in the Duck Creek Basin. Noise monitoring systems were deployed on May 4, 2021, and collected on May 18, 2021. Monitoring locations are depicted in the Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study included as Appendix D. Monitoring locations were 0.25 mile away from lek sites and between the lek site and the nearest Project location (for Canyon Springs and Gilford Meadows), or 0.25 mile away from the lek site at the same distance to the nearest roadway as the lek site (Berry Creek Turnoff, Timber Creek Turnoff, and Paine Meadows). The 2021 measured ambient sound levels at each lek are listed in Table 3.7-8. Wind, insects, and anthropogenic sources such as aircraft, vehicles, and machinery accounted for most measured noise, as detailed in Appendix D. Project-related noise levels, including anticipated construction noise at the upper and lower reservoir sites, and operational noise were modeled using the three-dimensional environmental noise analysis program Cadna-A. The model incorporates the effects of topography and typical weather conditions and attenuation due to atmospheric absorption and ground absorption. The results of the noise modeling are presented in Table 3.7-8. Noise levels that would exceed the time-period based limits in the ARMPA are denoted with an asterisk.

A proximity analysis for three greater sage-grouse leks closest to the Project (Canyon Springs NE, Gilford Meadows, and Berry Creek Turnoff) was conducted with GIS to model the line of sight from the leks towards the Project area. The proximity analysis modeled the line of sight from the ground at each lek and incorporated surrounding ground conditions within the study area. Conservation Credit System (CCS)
The Project is located on public and private lands in greater sage-grouse habitat and is, therefore, required to enroll in the CCS established by the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (State of Nevada 2019).

The CCS, administered by the SETT, is an innovative approach to greater sage-grouse habitat protection that ensures habitat impacts from man-made disturbances are fully compensated by long-term enhancement and protection of habitat that results in an overall benefit for the species, while allowing for appropriate anthropogenic disturbances that are vital to the Nevada economy and the Nevada way of life. Nevada's CCS creates new incentives: 1) to avoid and minimize impacts to important habitat for species; and 2) for private landowners and public land managers to preserve, enhance, and restore the ecosystem and reduce the threat of wildfire to important habitat for species in the ecosystem (State of Nevada 2021). The CCS is a performance-driven and market-based mechanism that consistently quantifies the direct and indirect impacts on greater sage-grouse habitat from human disturbances (debits) and the outcomes of habitat conservation efforts (credits). Credits are used to offset debits from habitat impacts through free market transactions as mitigation. The goal of the Nevada CCS is to generate a net benefit of greater sage-grouse habitat by ensuring the impacts to sage-grouse habitat in the State of Nevada and Federal lands from human disturbances (debits) are offset with commensurate habitat conservation actions (credits) (State of Nevada 2021). HDR completed a Debit Project Analysis for the Project using the CCS HQT Version 1.6.21 following the CCS User’s Guide v1.6.21 (State of Nevada 2021). The desktop portion was completed and submitted to the SETT for review and concurrence prior to the habitat assessment. HDR biologists then conducted vegetation transects at 97 locations identified by the SETT from May 2 to May 8, 2021. Of the 97 transects where vegetation data was collected for the CCS, 68 transects were located in high-value spring habitat, 75 were in high-value, late-brood rearing habitat, and one was in high-value winter habitat (HDR 2021d).

Environmental Effects - Wildlife Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on wildlife resources. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on wildlife resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section.
3.7.2.1
Terrestrial Wildlife and Habitat Project construction activities are expected to have effects on terrestrial resources ranging from permanent conversion of habitats to non-vegetated land cover, to temporary effects resulting from staging areas and disturbance buffers around permanent Project components. It is expected that construction of the reservoirs would create the greatest amount of permanent displacement of habitat. Wildlife that lives in temporarily disturbed habitats or uses them seasonally will potentially be impacted until construction is complete and disturbed areas have been effectively revegetated. Impacts to wetland and riparian habitat will be avoided through placement of Project features and temporary disturbance areas outside of these habitats to the greatest extent practicable. In addition to temporary and permanent habitat displacement, construction activities can affect wildlife and their habitats in several ways. Displaced individuals can suffer direct or indirect mortality or decreased breeding success. Direct mortality can occur by destruction of occupied burrows, nests, roost sites, and dens during vegetation clearing, excavation, and grading, or by collision with vehicles on roads to and from the Project. Indirect mortality occurs when displaced individuals are killed elsewhere by predators, vehicles, competitors, lack of resources, or exposure. Inconspicuous burrowing and nocturnal species and species with limited mobility are particularly susceptible to displacement and mortality (e.g., amphibians, snakes, small mammals). Noise from excavation, blasting, staging of materials and equipment, vehicles, and workers can disturb nearby wildlife during sensitive periods in their life histories (e.g., nesting and brood-rearing). Increased numbers of vehicles and humans can also disrupt wildlife movement, nesting, and foraging behavior. Construction can increase dust locally and February 2022 | 144

displace and disrupt habitat features such as nest and roost trees for birds and bats. Any of these effects can cause nest failure or abandonment during building, egg-laying, or incubation, decrease availability of maternal denning and roost sites for species such as bats, and disrupt fawning and calving areas for ungulates. New transmission lines may pose an electrocution risk to perching birds and a collision risk to birds in flight. Project transmission will comply with Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) standards for minimizing electrocution and collision risks to birds. Electrocution occurs when a bird is large enough to span the distance between an energized component and a ground or between two uninsulated conductors; however, the separation between wires on lines of higher capacity than 69 kV is generally sufficient to eliminate the risk of electrocution, even for larger birds such as eagles. WPW proposes that the transmission line design complies with APLIC guidelines to protect avian species from electrocution as a result of landing or perching on transmission lines. New access roads could disrupt and disturb habitat and movement corridors, expose small wildlife to increased risk from terrestrial predators (e.g., coyotes and foxes), and cause vehicle-related injuries and mortalities. Permanent surface features of the proposed Project (e.g., the reservoirs, transmission line, upgraded and new access roads) will cause some degree of habitat fragmentation for a variety of wildlife species, mostly terrestrial species with limited home ranges. Ultimately, however, the footprint of the Project is limited, and functionally identical habitats to those in the Conceptual Project Boundary are abundant and well-distributed in the region, including large areas in the immediate vicinity. Given adequate implementation of appropriate PM&E measures, the Project should have only minor, temporary effects on local general wildlife populations and their associated habitats. Effects on specific categories of wildlife are described below. PM&E measures proposed by WPW are detailed in Section 3.7.4 Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations.
3.7.2.2
Common Wildlife Species Ungulates Construction of the reservoirs has the potential to disturb and cause a loss of ungulate habitat and would entail construction-related disturbances within designated crucial winter range for mule deer and crucial summer range for elk. Construction activities will be completed within seven years of commencement and disturbed areas will be revegetated as soon as feasible following construction. Project-related construction activities such as excavation, road construction and development, heavy equipment use, and associated noise have the potential to deter use and alter wildlife movement patterns. Subsequent operations activities, transmission and fence maintenance, surface features themselves, and associated road use could potentially disturb wintering ungulates during critical periods. Based on NDOW habitat designations, the following big game use patterns could be temporarily disrupted by construction activities: February 2022 | 145

•
Pronghorn in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir and the western end of the proposed transmission corridor.
•
Elk in summer migration in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir and central portion of the proposed transmission corridor, as well as year-round range in other parts of the proposed transmission corridor and the proposed conveyance channel.
•
Mule deer in winter migration in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir, the proposed conveyance channel, and the central portion of the proposed transmission corridor as well as year-round migration in the western portion of the proposed transmission corridor.
WPW will fence and monitor the reservoirs to prevent cattle, wild ungulates, and other medium- to large-sized animals from accessing them, and to promptly repair any damage that may occur. Temporary access roads built for construction of the Project will be decommissioned after use and revegetated to natural conditions. However, any roads that are retained for permanent access to Project features could also provide access to offhighway vehicles (OHVs) if appropriate structures are not put in place to block access. Such access restrictions would need to be managed for the life of the Project. Revegetation and restoration efforts will restore temporarily affected ungulate habitat. Given adequate and appropriate protection and mitigation measures, the Project should have only limited, short-term effects on local ungulate populations and movement patterns.
Amphibians, Reptiles, and Small Mammals The proposed Project will not significantly displace wetland or riparian habitat for amphibians or reptiles; therefore, no short- or long-term effects are anticipated on local amphibian and reptile populations. Incidental direct and indirect impacts to xeric terrestrial amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals, such as collisions of slow-moving individuals with vehicles or equipment, could occur during Project construction and operations. PM&E measures proposed by WPW are described below and are expected to limit these impacts.
Bats Bats are prone to many of the same threats as avian species (described below), including collision-related injuries and mortalities. WPW’s proposals to minimize outdoor lighting are expected to minimize the potential for detrimental Project effects on bats. Additionally, construction of the Project reservoirs could have a positive effect on a variety of bat species. For example, pallid bats are typically recorded at moderately sized reservoirs that allow for approach and departure (Bachen et al. 2020). Additionally, a fenced water source, in which top wires are not more than 42 inches from the ground and at least 100 feet from water, is known to benefit spotted bats along with other bat species (Luce et al. 2004).
Birds Impacts due to Project construction and operations could include abandonment of the area and local nests due to habitat conversion or disturbance. Disturbance may displace birds February 2022 | 146

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
into less suitable habitat and, thus, reduce survival rates and reproduction. Waterfowl that travel through the proposed Project may have collision risks from the new transmission line and fences around the reservoirs. Avian tolerance levels to disturbance can be species-specific and individual-specific. For example, red-tailed hawk could experience a reduction in terrestrial foraging habitat and noise disturbance during construction. The impact to bird species from disturbance or displacement from construction activities is likely to be short term. However, construction noise or activity during the nesting season could contribute to nest abandonment and failure for some species. Vehicle travel and associated dust can disturb nearby nesting birds and degrade habitat quality. Vehicle travel is unlikely to directly affect nesting or migrating birds, but dust may be an issue from approximately June through August. Dust palliatives will be applied to ungraded and new access roads to reduce dust clouds that could disturb nesting birds and affect habitat and forage quality. Transmission lines can pose an electrocution risk to large birds, such as eagles, if multiple lines can be touched by a bird at one time (i.e., if their wingspan can reach between two lines). Electrocution could cause injury or mortality to a large bird; for instance, red-tailed hawks are the most commonly reported hawk mortalities from collisions with powerlines (Manville 2002). However, The Project transmission line will be located adjacent to an existing transmission line within an existing permitted energy corridor already designated for new development; thus reducing potential for impacts to birds. Additionally, WPW will design transmission structures and wires in accordance with APLIC guidelines to minimize the threat to avian species. WPW proposes to conduct pre-construction surveys to document any raptors and nests that occur in the Project vicinity. Also, appropriate temporal and spatial buffers will be implemented in consultation with relevant state and federal agencies.
3.7.2.3
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Greater Sage-Grouse Greater sage-grouse were observed at three lek locations at least once during the lek monitoring, including at the two leks closest to the proposed reservoir facilities. In general, the site-scale habitat suitability parameters from transects collected in the study area were within recommended parameters. Greater sage-grouse may be temporarily disturbed due to noise and increased human presence, noise during construction activities, and an increase of vehicle travel on access roads. Loss of habitat from Project construction and operation may disturb or displace greater sage-grouse. Noise modeling results show that construction noise is expected to exceed the ARMPA limits at almost all leks within 3.1 miles of the Project, both with the upper and lower reservoir activities combined and individually. Construction noise or activity during the breeding season could disturb greater sage-grouse. Noise levels during operation of the Project are expected to be within the ARMPA limits at all leks.

Based on the proximity analysis, some Project facilities may be visible from the three active leks closest to the Project (Canyon Springs NE, Gilford Meadows, and Berry Creek Turnoff). These facilities include the access road from State Route 486 to the upper reservoir and portions of the proposed upper reservoir area. Topography and vegetation cover will reduce the view of Project facilities from the leks. In addition, WPW proposes to minimize the height and number of tall structures at the upper reservoir during design. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Mitigation Regulation 232.400-232.480, direct and indirect impacts to sage-grouse habitat as a result of the proposed Project were analyzed using the CCS. The estimate of the total debits resulting from direct and indirect impacts of the Project is 827 debits. WPW proposes to coordinate directly with a credit developer and the SETT to purchase credits through a Phased Purchase Agreement equal to the debits calculated for the Project plus any debits required by a proximity factor. WPW may also develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT and Sagebrush Ecosystem Council.
Other Birds Federal and state-listed birds for which there is suitable habitat within the Project vicinity are identified above in Table 3.7-4. As previously mentioned, bald eagle presence in the Project vicinity and golden eagle presence throughout the Conceptual Project Boundary have been directly observed (HDR 2021b). The last confirmed active eagle nest in the Project vicinity was from 2011 (NDOW 2021b). Construction noise or activity during the nesting season could contribute to nest abandonment and failure. Both breeding and wintering bald and golden eagles could be susceptible to injury or mortality from power line collision. Golden eagles exhibit lower tolerance to disturbance compared to bald eagles (USFWS 2007). The potential impacts on the golden eagle are the removal of foraging habitat in the reservoirs, potential impact on nesting, and potentially forcing confrontation between pairs. Construction of the proposed Project may displace federal and state-listed birds. If construction activity starts after birds have begun nesting, nests may be abandoned or destroyed. Protection and mitigation measures for birds are detailed in Section 3.7.4.2 Applicant Recommendations.
Mammals The pygmy rabbit is an NDOW game mammal and a BLM sensitive species. There are records of pygmy rabbit in White Pine County and in Steptoe Valley in the vicinity of the Project (USFWS 2010b). There is big sagebrush shrubland and other sagebrush habitats with bunchgrass components in the Project area. Field studies conducted within the Project area have not identified pygmy rabbit to date, but the Project area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present (HDR 2021b). Direct mortality can occur by destruction of occupied burrows during vegetation clearing, excavation, and grading, or by collision with vehicles on roads to and from the Project. Dark kangaroo mouse is a BLM sensitive mammal species that is patchily distributed across northern and south-central Nevada. There is big sagebrush shrubland and other February 2022 | 148

sagebrush habitats with rabbitbrush components between pinyon-juniper and greasewood zones in the Project area. Field studies have not identified dark kangaroo mouse in the Project area to date, but the Project area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present (HDR 2021b). Incidental direct and indirect impacts to dark kangaroo mouse, such as collisions with vehicles or equipment, could occur during Project construction and operations. Excavation could injure individuals in burrows. Construction noises may displace dark kangaroo mouse from their preferred habitat. American water shrew is a BLM sensitive mammal species that is patchily distributed across northern and west-central Nevada. There is aquatic habitat with dense vegetative cover in the Project area (Duck Creek). Field studies have not identified American water shrew in the Project area to date, but the Project area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present (HDR 2021b). Excavation could injure individuals in tunnels or nests. Considering there is minimal aquatic habitat present in the Project area that will be impacted as a result of the Project, no Project-related effects are anticipated on American water shrew populations in the Project vicinity. Botta’s pocket gopher is a BLM sensitive mammal species that ranges nearly statewide in Nevada. Field studies have not identified Botta’s pocket gopher in the Project area to date. However, due to their rather general habitat preferences, the species could be found nearly anywhere in the Project area (HDR 2021b). Incidental direct and indirect impacts to Botta’s pocket gopher, such as collisions with vehicles or equipment, could occur during Project construction and operations. Excavation could injure individuals in burrows. There is abundant habitat for Botta’s pocket gopher elsewhere in the Project vicinity. Given adequate protection and mitigation measures, no Project-related effects are anticipated on Botta’s pocket gopher populations in the Project vicinity. There are 11 special-status species of bats with the potential to occur in the Project area (HDR 2021b). The majority of the bat species listed in Table 3.7-4 are either NDOW protected or sensitive species and/or BLM sensitive species. The only state-threatened bat is the spotted bat. Bats are prone to many of the same threats as avian species, including collision-related injuries and mortalities. WPW’s proposals to minimize outdoor lighting are expected to limit Project effects on bats and minimize disruption of nocturnal activities.
Reptiles Great Basin collared lizard, regal ring-necked snake, long-nosed leopard lizard, northern desert horned lizard, and greater short-horned lizard are BLM sensitive species. The Utah Sonoran mountain kingsnake is an NDOW protected and BLM sensitive species. Incidental direct and indirect impacts to xeric terrestrial reptiles, such as collisions of slow-moving individuals with vehicles or equipment, could occur during Project construction and operations. Excavation could injure snakes in burrows. Construction noises may displace reptiles from their preferred habitat.

Amphibians The northern leopard frog is a BLM sensitive species and an NDOW protected amphibian that ranges across much of Nevada but has declined and become extirpated from much of its former range in recent decades. There is permanent shallow water with rooted aquatic vegetation in the study area (Duck Creek) (HDR 2021a). Field studies have not identified northern leopard frog in the study area to date, but the species is well documented as occurring in Spring Valley on the opposite side of the Schell Creek Range, approximately 12 miles east of the Project area (SNWA 2016). Northern leopard frog habitat is not expected to be directly affected by the proposed Project because of the abundance of their available habitat in Nevada. Incidental direct and indirect impacts to northern leopard frog, such as collisions of slow-moving individuals with vehicles or equipment, could occur during Project construction and operations.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.7.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021, including a Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment; responses to stakeholder comments; as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided as Appendix A. WPW consulted with NDOW biologists regarding the protocol, monitoring locations, and instrumentation for the noise impact study and noise monitoring for the Greater SageGrouse Lek and Habitat Study (see report provided in Appendix D).
3.7.4.2
Applicant Recommendations This section identifies PM&E measures that WPW proposes to incorporate into the design/preconstruction, construction, and operational phases of the Project to address impacts on wildlife, including RTE wildlife species. WPW will continue to develop and refine these PM&E measures in consultation with the BLM, NDOW, and other Project stakeholders. Design/Pre-Construction Protection Measures

2006 [APLIC 2006]) to protect avian species from electrocution as a result of landing or perching on transmission lines. •
Reduce habitat loss by designing the Project to use existing access roads wherever possible.
•
The Project transmission line will be located adjacent to an existing transmission line within an existing permitted energy corridor already designated for new development and; thus, reducing potential for impacts to wildlife and habitat. Impacts on habitats of steep cliffs between the two Project reservoirs will be largely avoided since WPW proposes drilling and tunneling construction methods.
•
Perform additional noise modeling as detailed design advances, including construction schedule, construction equipment, ventilation equipment, and transmission line design. Based on more detailed modeling, specific mitigation strategies can be recommended to reduce the effect of construction noise at leks.
•
Minimize the height and number of tall structures at the upper reservoir to reduce the Project facilities that are visible from the three active greater sage-grouse leks closest to the Project (Canyon Springs NE, Gilford Meadows, and Berry Creek Turnoff).
Construction Protection Measures
•
Biological training program to inform employees of the sensitive biological resources.
•
Manage traffic by implementing a speed limit to reduce wildlife injury due to collisions.
•
Conduct avian nesting surveys of areas near active construction during nesting season (March 1 to August 31).
•
Biological construction monitors will be present during ground disturbing activities and will have the authority to temporarily halt construction equipment if any amphibian, reptile, or small mammal is unearthed, for the purpose to relocating the animal to outside of the construction area.
•
Develop a Habitat Restoration, Reclamation, and Enhancement Plan. WPW proposes to develop this plan to identify the specific measures to be taken to restore vegetation disturbed by Project-related construction activities. The objectives of revegetation efforts are to prevent soil erosion and the spread of weeds, maintain or restore existing native plant communities and wildlife habitat, and integrate site features with the surrounding environment.
•
Prior to the onset of ground-disturbance associated with the start of formal construction activities, WPW proposes to prepare and implement a Raptor Protection Plan (RPP) developed in consultation with USFWS and NDOW.
Operational Protection Measures
•
Minimize outdoor lighting to reduce impacts on foraging bats and migrating and nocturnal birds. February 2022 | 151

Recreation
3.8.1
Affected Recreation Environment Lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are primarily federal lands managed by BLM. In the Project vicinity, there is USFS land, state-managed land, municipal land, and private land (Figure 3.8-1). The BLM Ely Ranger District Office is located in Ely, Nevada, and administers approximately 4.51 million acres of public land within White Pine County (BLM 2008a). Land ownership is further described in Section 3.9 Land Use. White Pine County offers many recreation and tourism opportunities. Major recreational activities in White Pine County include hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle riding, and motorcycle riding. Additional recreation that is growing in popularity includes mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowmobiling. White Pine County has several recreational policies that support and encourage sustainable recreational use of both developed and dispersed areas (White Pine County 2018). The White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board (2019) outlines several strategic priorities for the County. Included in these priorities is to grow overall awareness of what the area has to offer to both locals and visitors, in turn growing the tourism economy. Strategies to grow the economy through tourism include promotion of history, arts and culture, outdoor recreation, and events.
3.8.1.1
Recreation in the Conceptual Project Boundary There are currently no developed recreation facilities located within the Conceptual Project Boundary. However, portions of NNR track lie within the Conceptual Project Boundary (Figure 3.8-1). In addition, BLM-managed lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are currently open to hunting. .

3.8.1.2
Recreation in the Project Vicinity There are several recreation areas and recreation facilities within approximately 10 miles of the proposed Project. These include campgrounds, picnic areas, and trails managed by both the USFS and BLM; County-managed recreation such as community parks, shooting ranges, fairgrounds, and a golf course; areas for hunting; and surface waters for fishing. The majority of outdoor recreation in the Project vicinity occurs on public lands. Information on hunting and game management is presented in Section 3.7 Wildlife Resources. Information on fishing and fisheries management is presented in Section 3.5 Fish and Aquatic Resources. The Conceptual Project Boundary is within the BLM Ely Field Office planning area and recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. BLM’s recreation objective, as described in the Ely District Approved RMP, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities (BLM 2008a). Lands and recreation facilities in the Project vicinity are also managed by White Pine County, USFS, and Nevada Division of State Parks (NDSP) (Figure 3.8-1). It is the policy of White Pine County to provide citizens of the county access to public lands for recreational use and economic activity, as well as protect the environment and natural resources within the county for future generations (White Pine County 2018). White Pine County supports the concept of “Multiple Use Management”, which includes recreation along with a balanced and diverse use of natural resources for other purposes. White Pine County recreational policies include conservation and protection of recreational and open space resources, and the promotion of sustainable recreation use. The County also encourages the use of dispersed recreation and the additional development of recreation facilities on appropriate public lands. NDSP manages Cave Lake State Park, located approximately 12 miles south of the proposed Project in Duck Creek Valley in Highway 486. Cave Lake State Park offers camping, fishing, hiking, and limited hunting opportunities. An entrance fee is charged. USFS management of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is outlined in the Humboldt National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1986), as amended, and the Toiyabe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1986), as amended (USFS 1986). USFS management goals for the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest include providing a broad range of outdoor recreational opportunities to the public, such as developed and dispersed recreation, maintaining and improving recreational facilities, coordinating recreation programs with local, state, and federal agencies, and more. The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers yearround outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual half-marathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). Ely is also February 2022 | 154

home to a variety of cultural and artistic events, including an 11-block “Art Walk” with over 22 murals and sculptures throughout the downtown area. The Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark is also located in Ely and is acclaimed as the best-preserved and most original example of an American railroad facility and offers passenger train rides pulled by century-old steam engines. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum holds hundreds of hands-on history events annually. The museum includes original railway locomotives, rolling stock, track, a passenger station, and buildings that served the historic copper mining region of Central Nevada for over a century. A number of rides depart from the depot throughout the year. There is a fee charged for train rides. Most trips head southwest, through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. From late May through mid-September, approximately three rides each week head north out of the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the proposed Project (NNR undated). NNR operates special themed trains on the HiLine Branch: the Night Sky – Star Train and the Sunset Stars and Champagne rides. The Night-Sky Star Train is scheduled one night each week from late May to mid-September and these rides sell out well in advance (NNR Undated). The train stops at the Star Platform, a designated location along the HiLine where passengers can look through telescopes and talk with NPS rangers from Great Basin National Park (NPS 2022). The Sunset Stars and Champagne ride is offered twice each week late May to mid-September, and often sells out well in advance (NNR Undated). These rides on the HiLine travel to approximately 8 miles from the depot before stopping and reversing direction to return to Ely (NNR 2021). The turnaround point is in close proximity to the proposed Project (). The telescope viewing location where the Night Sky – Star Train stops on the return to Ely for stargazing is approximately 3 miles south of the proposed Project location (Figure 3.8-2). The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Conceptual Project Boundary. There are three parks in McGill, which include a swimming pool and playgrounds (McGill Nevada 2016). The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill and is described as “an old small-town drugstore frozen in time,” with private tours available upon request (McGill Drugstore Museum 2018). White Pine County is also a popular fishing destination for the residents of Nevada, with stream and lake fishing for several trout species and largemouth bass (White Pine County 2018). Table 3.5-1 provides a summary of recent fish stocking in the County. WPW performed a Recreation Resources Study that included a recreation facility inventory and use estimate in coordination with owners of existing recreation facilities in an approximate 10-mile radius of the proposed Project location in 2021 (Appendix F). Table 3.8-1 provides a summary of the outdoor recreation facilities assessed in the study. Additional details on each facility can be found in Appendix F.

Other Use and Needs The Nevada Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) (2016-2021) is intended to serve as an integrated, research-based plan to assist in the improvement and expansion of outdoor recreation opportunities in Nevada. A multi-step process, including a document survey, community workshop, and public opinion survey was used to establish a broad outline of outdoor recreation in Nevada and identify priorities to focus on in future years. Recreation participation rates are higher in Nevada than the overall nationwide rate. The 2016 SCORP identified eight top priorities related to outdoor recreation in Nevada: 1) Maintain and Rehabilitate Existing Facilities; 2) Ensure Safety; 3) Increase Connectivity between Trails, Facilities, and other Recreation Locations; 4) Engage Youth; 5) Develop New Facilities; 6) Integrate with Economic Security and Growth; 7) Conserve Water and Habitat; and 8) Meet the Needs of Underserved Regions and Populations. The priorities listed above are intended to serve as broad goals, with specific strategies and actions for accomplishing them coming from grant applications, outdoor advocates, and other citizens who recognize their stake in Nevada’s outdoor future (NDSP 2016).

Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on recreation as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section. The majority of recreation facilities analyzed in this assessment are located several miles from the Project. The closest recreation facility to the Project is Berry Creek Campground, located approximately 4 miles from the Conceptual Project Boundary. Federal lands February 2022 | 160

managed by BLM in the vicinity of the Project are open to hunting. Lands in the vicinity of the Project are designated as priority and seasonal habitat for game species, including greater sage-grouse, mule deer, and pronghorn. The NNR HiLine traverses the Conceptual Project Boundary. NNR conducts train rides on the HiLine approximately three times each week from late May until mid-September. Construction of the Project may temporarily impact recreation in the immediate vicinity. Construction of the Project is expected to last six years, with the most intense aboveground work likely to occur during years 1 and 2. Construction impacts include noise, lighting, dust, and additional traffic, which have the potential to negatively impact nearby recreation. Hunting and wildlife viewing may be temporarily impacted as access may be restricted to some areas during some phases of construction, and wildlife may be disturbed due to noise and human activity. Potential Project effects on wildlife, game species, and game management are discussed in Section 3.7 Wildlife Resources. Potential effects of Project construction on NNR HiLine train rides include disruptions to the schedule due to Project construction that interferes with train travel on the HiLine. During Project construction, construction activities and related safety measures may limit public access and proximity to construction activities. This has the potential to prevent trains from traveling as far north as is customary on the HiLine. Currently, the HiLine trains travel approximately 8 miles from Ely on the HiLine, and the Project’s lower reservoir, tunnel portal and substation are proposed to be situated in this area (Figure 3.8-2). Potential effects on the experiences of passengers on NNR HiLine train rides may occur due to construction and operation of the Project, including potential effects on dark skies from Project lighting. Project lighting and dark skies are discussed in Section 3.11 Aesthetic Resources. The Project also has the potential to modify the landscape and scenery visible from the NNR train rides on the HiLine. Effects of potential modified scenery are discussed in Section 3.11 Aesthetic Resources. There are no scenic byways, National Trails, designated Wilderness Areas, designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers, or rivers listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory within 10 miles of the Project.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.8.4.1
Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021,

including a Recreation study; responses to stakeholder comments and WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided in Appendix A. The Recreation Resources Study Plan developed by WPW and finalized based on comments received from the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation and NPS included an NNR visitor use assessment in the form of a questionnaire to be administered during or immediately after HiLine train rides to support reporting on demographic characteristics of NNR passengers and their experiences on the HiLine train rides. WPW met via telephone conference with NNR and NPS representatives on June 29, 2021 to discuss the survey questionnaire and implementation of the survey. No agreement was reached on the questions to be included on the questionnaire, so the NNR HiLine train ride visitor use assessment was postponed. The results of the NNR visitor use assessment, if conducted, will be provided to agencies and interested parties at a later date.
3.8.4.2
Applicant Recommendations WPW proposes to manage lands over which it has control in the Conceptual Project Boundary for appropriate public access. WPW proposes to prohibit fishing and other recreation in and around the reservoirs and to fence the reservoirs for public safety. The Project may impact game and other species and their habitat, with implications on hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. Applicant recommendations related to wildlife and habitat are presented in Section 3.7 Wildlife Resources. Any identified potential impacts to NNR train rides on the HiLine may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and providing educational information about the Project for NNR passengers. No temporary or permanent rerouting of the NNR track is necessary for Project construction or operation. The Project’s tailrace tunnel is proposed to be underneath the surface rail track approximately 150 feet below ground level. No effects on the railroad are proposed from construction and operation of this deep underground facility. WPW proposes to work with NNR to provide information about the Project that can be used in explaining the presence and purpose of the Project to mitigate the effects of the Project’s presence in the viewshed of the NNR HiLine train rides and to enhance the experience of passengers with information about renewable energy and the role pumped storage projects play in the stability and resilience of the regional electric grid.

Land Use
3.9.1
Affected Land Use Environment Nevada is comprised of approximately 86.5 percent federally managed lands. The majority of federal lands in Nevada falls under administration of the BLM, followed by the USFS, Department of Defense, NPS, USFWS, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Bureau of Reclamation. Lands in White Pine County follow a similar pattern as the State, with the majority of land being federally managed (95.6 percent) with little private control for economic development or community expansion (White Pine County 2018).

Land ownership within the Conceptual Project Boundary is comprised of 1,600.9 acres of land administered by the BLM and 97.6 acres of private land, for a total of 1,698.5 acres (Figure 3.1-4). The private parcels are generally located near the entrance of the upper reservoir access road and along the transmission line corridor. Land ownership in the Project vicinity is illustrated in Figure 3.1-4 in Section 3.1.3 Major Land and Water Uses. The Conceptual Project Boundary also includes a portion of a Section 368-designated transmission corridor. As described in Section 2.2 Applicant’s Proposal, the Section 368 energy corridors have been designated as preferred locations for energy transport projects on BLM-administered public lands, such as transmission of high-voltage electric power. The proposed transmission line will be constructed entirely within a Section 368 energy corridor. Additionally, the transmission line will be constructed parallel to an existing electric transmission line within the corridor. Section 102 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act directs the BLM to prepare land use plans that serve as the basis for all activities that occur on BLM-administered lands. The applicable land use plan in the vicinity of the Project is the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved RMP (BLM 2008a), as amended. The RMP provides direction for management of renewable and nonrenewable resources found on public lands within the Ely planning area and guides decision-making for future site-specific actions. The Approved RMP directs the Ely District Office in resource management activities including leasing minerals such as oil and gas; construction of electrical transmission lines, gas pipelines, and roads; grazing management; recreation and outfitting; preserving and restoring wildlife habitat; selling or exchanging lands for the benefit of local communities; military use of the planning area; and conducting other activities that require land use planning decisions. The Ely District RMP covers approximately 11.5 million acres of public land (BLM 2008a). BLM also complies with the ARMPA GRSG Habitat Mapping (BLM 2015). The ARMPA GRSG Habitat Mapping maps habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse as PHMA, GHMA, or OHMA, as described in Section 3.7.1.8 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species. The Conceptual Project Boundary is within PHMA, GHMA, OHMA, and nonhabitat. The White Pine County Land Use Plan (2008) provides guidance in land use decisions and development for elected officials, appointed boards and officials, public land management agencies, private developers, and the public. The theme of the 2008 Plan focuses on the need to address development in outlying areas of the County. The 2008 Plan also identifies the need to balance private development, protection of environmentally sensitive areas, preservation of public lands, and the ability to provide services. Chapter 11 provides 19 land use goals and implementation strategies for the county. Land use goals include a discussion of recreational, industrial, and residential development. The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan (2018) outlines the County’s policies related to land management. White Pine County supports the concept of multiple use management of public lands in a way that is sustainable and that conserves natural resources. For example, multiple use management refers to “balanced and diverse use of resources which takes into account the long-term needs of the residents of the County for February 2022 | 163

renewable and non-renewable resources including but not limited to recreational areas, range, timber, minerals, watershed, wildlife and fish, and natural scenic, scientific, and historic areas” (White Pine County 2018; County Code Section 288.100). White Pine County has developed goals, objectives, and action plans as part of its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies, published in July 2020 by the White Pine County Board of County Commissioners (White Pine County 2020). One of the County’s published objectives is development of the County’s renewable energy resources including solar, wind, and pumped storage. The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies document states that “in addition to wind energy, White Pine County is pursuing development of solar energy farms and pumped storage hydropower projects.” White Pine County is home to Nevada’s first wind energy project, Spring Valley Wind, which was built in 2012 and has a capacity of 152 MW. The wind farm is located on 7,680 acres of federal lands administered by the BLM. Approximately 45,000 homes are powered by this facility (White Pine County 2020). White Pine County’s airport, also known as Yellan Field, encompasses 4,999 acres and is located approximately 3 miles north of Ely and 3.5 miles south of the Project area. The airport contains two runways: one that is 6,018 feet long and 150 feet wide, and another that is 4,825 feet long and 60 feet wide (White Pine County 2020). Land uses in the Conceptual Project Boundary, as classified by the White Pine County Assessor Office (White Pine County 2021) are summarized in Table 3.9-1 and shown in Figure 3.9-1. The land uses crossed by the Project are classified as •
Vacant – Vacant – Public Use Lands; Vacant Single Family Residential
•
Industrial – General Industrial – Light Industry, Trucking and Warehousing, Service, Repair, etc.
•
Farm – Agricultural Qualified per NRS 361A – Vacant; Agricultural Deferred with Residence
•
Residential – Single Family Residential with Minor Improvements
•
Special – Mixed Use with Special Purpose as Primary Use
•
Utility – Operating Communication, Transportation, and Utility Property of an Interstate or Intercounty Nature; Mixed Use with Locally Assessed Utility as Primary Use
The upper and lower reservoir and water conveyances are located mostly within an industrial area. Small parcels classified as farm are located along the upper reservoir access road. The lands crossed by the transmission line corridor are mostly classified as vacant or designated for utility or residential use, and additionally are within a Section 368designated transmission corridor as previously described.

In addition to reviewing White Pine County Assessor land use data, WPW conducted mapping of vegetation and habitat in the Project area as part of the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study (Appendix E). This assessment mapped developed lands, disturbed lands, agriculture, roads, and railroads. The assessment found that medium to high intensity developed land is located at both ends of the proposed transmission corridor, consisting of an electrical substation at the west end and a private salvage yard on the east end. Disturbed lands occur at scattered locations along the proposed transmission line corridor, typically as a transition from development to a natural habitat with minimal vegetation cover. Additionally, disturbed lands were mapped at the upper reservoir around McGill Spring, which has been heavily impacted by a vertical culvert, fencing, and intensive cattle grazing. Vegetation outside of the fencing around McGill Spring is heavily trampled and grazed to the point that the ground cover is mostly thatch. Agriculture also occurs along the proposed transmission line corridor and consists of numerous planted crops. The vegetation and habitat mapping study indicated that developed and disturbed lands, agriculture, and roads and railroads occupy approximately 30 acres within the Conceptual Project Boundary. The remainder of the Conceptual Project Boundary (1,668.5 acres) consists of open space and a variety of vegetation cover types (Appendix E).
3.9.1.1
Section 368-Designated Transmission Corridor The proposed transmission line will be routed completely within the existing transmission right-of-way from the Project’s outdoor switchyard approximately 23 miles to the interconnection location. The route of the transmission line is also completely within the Section 368-designated transmission corridor.
3.9.1.2
Floodplains and Wetlands Based on a review of the Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood Hazard Layer, portions of the Conceptual Project Boundary are located in potential floodplains. Approximately 71.4 acres of the proposed transmission line corridor are located in a 100year floodplain (one percent annual chance of flooding) and about 32.6 acres are located in a 500-year floodplain (0.2 percent annual chance of flooding). Floodplains are shown in Figure 3.9-2. Wetlands are discussed in Section 3.4 Water Resources. .

3.9.1.3
Grazing BLM administers 668 livestock grazing authorizations on 797 grazing allotments in the State of Nevada. These grazing allotments occupy about 43 million acres, the most of any state. Congress mandates that BLM manage grazing, and BLM livestock grazing policies are designed to protect the productivity of public lands in an efficient and effective manner. Properly managed livestock grazing provides economic and social benefits to Nevada communities (BLM undated-b). All of the BLM managed lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary are managed under grazing allotments. As shown in Table 3.9-2, there are four grazing allotments in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and six grazing allotments along the transmission line corridor. The Conceptual Project Boundary would occupy a small percentage of each grazing allotment, as shown in Table 3.9-2. BLM also designates lands in the vicinity of the Project as areas “available and unavailable” for livestock grazing within BLM-administered, greater sage-grouse habitat management areas, as identified in the 2019 ARMPA. The BLM amended its RMPs for greater sage-grouse habitat management in 2019 in order to provide additional consistency and alignment with the State of Nevada’s Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Strategy. Table 3.9-2 shows whether each grazing allotment is affected by the 2019 ARMPA grazing allotment restrictions.

Environmental Effects – Land Use This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on land use. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on land use as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section. The construction and operation of the Project will result in temporary and permanent impacts to land use. During construction, land will be temporarily removed from its current use and converted to construction workspaces. Permanent impacts of the Project are described below for the reservoirs and conveyance facilities and for the new transmission line. Permanent impacts of Project facilities are provided in Table 3.9-3.

3.9.2.1
Reservoir and Conveyance Areas Permanent impacts of the Project on land use include the conversion of existing land cover to inundated lands at the upper and lower reservoir. The Project reservoirs will be fenced for public safety and, therefore, public access to the reservoirs will be restricted. Land use impacts of the transmission line will be minimized because it is sited within the previously permitted Section 368-designated transmission corridor, and parallel to an existing electric transmission line. Water conveyance facilities will be located underground in very steep terrain, and potential uses of the land above these facilities is limited. As shown in Table 3.9-1, over 96 percent of the land where the upper reservoir, the lower reservoir, and the conveyance facilities will be built is currently classified by White Pine County as industrial, and this land use classification would not change. The remaining 4 percent, about 32.5 acres of agricultural land and about 2.4 acres of vacant land, would be converted to industrial land.

3.9.2.2
Transmission Line Corridor Land use impacts of the transmission line will be minimized because it is sited within the previously permitted Section 368-designated transmission corridor and situated parallel to an existing electric transmission line with towers and spans similar to those proposed for the Project. As shown in Table 3.9-1, the majority (78 percent) of the transmission line corridor is classified by White Pine County as vacant, and 6 percent is already classified as utility. The Project would convert the lands within the transmission line corridor to a permanent utility easement.
3.9.2.3
Floodplains The transmission line corridor crosses 100-year and 500-year floodplains, primarily on the eastern end of the corridor, as shown in Figure 3.9-2. An existing transmission line also crosses these floodplains. WPW anticipates that the locations of the transmission line foundations and structures will be adjusted during final design to avoid or minimize temporary and permanent impacts on floodplains.
3.9.2.4
Grazing Grazing would be temporarily affected by construction of the Project due to ground disturbance and clearing of vegetation, noise, increased traffic, and human presence. Operation of the Project would remove the land inundated by the reservoirs from grazing. This would result in a permanent impact to holders of the affected grazing allotments. However, as shown in Table 3.9-2, the amount of the allotment affected is a very small percentage of each grazing allotment. Grazing opportunities in the vicinity of the Project would still be abundant.
3.9.3
Cumulative Environmental Effects Related to Land Use The issue of cumulative effects will be revisited in the FLA.

3.9.4.2
Applicant Recommendations This section identifies PM&E measures that WPW proposes to incorporate into the design/preconstruction, construction, and operational phases of the Project to address land use. WPW will continue to develop and refine these PM&E measures in consultation with stakeholders. WPW proposes to continue to coordinate with BLM to adopt measures to ensure compliance with the RMP and the ARMPA or request amendments and/or waivers, as appropriate and necessary. WPW proposes to coordinate with adjacent private landowners and affected grazing permittee(s) to determine the best way of avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating any impacts to their properties and grazing permits. WPW plans to manage lands in the Conceptual Project Boundary for appropriate public access. However, recreation in and around the reservoirs will not be allowed, and the reservoirs will be fenced for public safety.
3.10
Cultural Resources The Cultural Resources Study has been undertaken by WPW to investigate cultural resources in the Project vicinity. This study will substantially add to the existing information provided in the PAD. The study is still underway and scheduled to be completed in 2022. This study can support the development of an Historic Properties Management Plan (HPMP) if one is required.
3.10.1
Affected Cultural Resources Environment This section describes existing cultural resources associated with the Project. It is presented by the following five areas: (1) regulatory context, (2) area of potential effects, (3) cultural history overview, (4) existing information, and (5) preliminary results of the Cultural Resources Study.
3.10.1.1 Regulatory Context In considering an original license for the Project, FERC has the lead responsibility for compliance with applicable federal laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to historic properties, including the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (54 U.S.C. §300101 et seq.). Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable opportunity to comment. The regulations implementing Section 106 (36 CFR Part 800) define the process for identifying historic properties, assessing effects, and seeking ways to resolve adverse effects on historic properties in consultation with the NSHPO, federally recognized Indian tribes, the public, and other appropriate parties. As defined in 36 CFR §800.16(l)(1), historic property means “any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National February 2022 | 172

Register of Historic Places [NRHP] maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria.”
3.10.1.2 Area of Potential Effect As defined in the applicable regulations found at 36 CFR §800.16(d), the area of potential effects (APE) for Section 106 of the NHPA is defined as “the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist.” Based on this regulatory definition, WPW proposes to define the APE for the Project licensing as including all lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary. The APE is also proposed to include lands or properties outside the Conceptual Project Boundary where Project operations and maintenance activities or other enhancements may cause changes in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist. The footprint of the APE will be submitted to the NSHPO for review and concurrence.
3.10.1.3 Cultural History Overview This section provides an overview of the cultural setting of the study area and vicinity. The precontact context below discusses the environmental-temporal-cultural divisions of precontact occupation in the area. The ethnohistoric context below describes the indigenous people of the area through early contact eras including the Spanish period, the Mexican period, and the American period. The Euro-American context below provides details about non-Native American activities in the Project vicinity.
3.10.1.4 Archaeological Precontact Context Archaeological research in the Great Basin has resulted in a broad outline of precontact developments. Much of this research has emphasized the relationship between human cultural adaptations and environmental systems with changes in settlement and subsistence patterns coinciding with the gradual stabilization of climatic conditions. Relevant aspects of the precontact-era within the Great Basin are outlined below.
Paleoenvironmental Change Paleoclimatic reconstructions follow the four-stage framework proposed more than half a century ago for western North America (Antevs 1948). Conditions were cool and wet in the Late Pleistocene (21,000 to 12,000 years before present [BP]) near the end of the Wisconsinan glaciation. The Cordilleran ice sheet covered parts of Idaho, Montana, and Washington just above Nevada and Utah. Pleistocene pluvial events and glacial melting resulted in the development of an extensive series of pluvial lakes. The largest of these lakes were Lake Lahontan in northwestern Nevada and Lake Bonneville in northwestern Utah. Pyramid and Walker Lakes are remnants of Lake Lahontan and the Great Salt Lake is a remnant of Bonneville. Smaller pluvial lakes existed between Lahontan and Bonneville, February 2022 | 173

as well as productive marshes and wetlands that inundated approximately 40 percent of the Great Basin. At least 42 mountain glaciers were once present in the region and now only one small glacier remains on Mount Wheeler in eastern Nevada (Grayson 2011:93– 106; NRAF 2015). These environmental changes have important implications for reconstructing the adaptive strategies of human communities. The extinction of Pleistocene megafauna and the differential availability of natural resources affected the initial peopling of the region, as well as seasonal foraging cycles and patterns of occupation (Basgall 2008; Gardner 2006). A progressive drying and warming trend began around 12,000 years BP and lasted through the Early (12,000–7,500 years BP) and Middle Holocene (7,500–4,500 years BP). However, conditions were generally cooler and wetter than the modern-day environment and were characterized by fluctuations in temperature and aridity, resulting in the alternating contraction and expansion of wetlands. For example, Ruby Marsh in northeastern Nevada alternated between being a 3-mile-wide wetland and a lake (Lake Franklin) with a depth of approximately 200 feet. These trends led to changes in local vegetation communities with sub-alpine forest moving downslope during wetter conditions and upslope during dryer conditions. After moving upslope, sub-alpine communities were replaced or intermixed with juniper and mountain mahogany communities. During the Middle Holocene, environmental conditions became hotter and drier than the preceding period with some wetlands and lakes, like Ruby Marsh, vanishing and sub-alpine communities moving even farther upslope. Piñon nuts became a dietary staple during this time and populations generally lived where they were in abundance (5,000–8,000 feet) (Grayson 2011:239–258; NRAF 2015). A reversal of the warming trend characterizes the Late Holocene (4,500 years BP– present), with moderately cool and wet conditions punctuated by periods of drought. Grasslands replaced shrublands at lower elevations and, based on archaeological data, there was a significant increase in buffalo, elk, and deer in the northern and northeastern Great Basin (Grayson 2011:259–260; NRAF 2015). Studies focusing on the Late Holocene have provided a detailed picture of more recent changes in environmental conditions. From 500 to 1,200 years BP, a warming trend related to the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA) made conditions unfavorable in much of the region (Jones et al. 1999; Grayson 2011:262– 264). Droughts were especially severe in the periods 900 to 1,100 years BP and 550 to 800 years BP. The warming of the MCA was followed by a climatic reversal during the Little Ice Age (LIA), which lasted between 250 and 600 years BP. Cooler temperatures and increased precipitation led to the gradual re-expansion of juniper woodland biotic communities in the Great Basin (Wigand and Rhode 2002; Grayson 2011:264; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Although the LIA had devastating effects on agricultural production in many regions worldwide, its impacts on the inhabitants within the study area are currently not well understood.
Chronological Framework People first entered the North American continent between 18,500 and 15,500 years BP during the Pleistocene Epoch. The earliest populations were highly mobile with subsistence strategies that relied on the hunting of megafauna and broad-spectrum February 2022 | 174

foraging. What has been designated as the Paleo-Indian or Pre-Archaic period lasted until the beginning of the Middle Holocene. Subsequent periods are characterized by human adaptations to changing climatic conditions with variations in technologies and subsistence strategies. Temporal periods following the Paleo-Indian include: Early Archaic (8,000 to 6,000 years BP), Middle Archaic (6,000 to 1,500 years BP), Late Archaic (1,500 to 650 years BP), Formative (1,500 to 700 years BP), and Late or Terminal Precontact (700 to Contact). Paleo-Indian Period (14,000 to 8,000 years BP)
The Paisley 5 Mile Point Caves (35LK3400) in southeastern Oregon represent the earliest traces of human occupation in the Great Basin and predate the Clovis tradition (13,390 to 12,810 years BP). At Paisley Cave 3, mastodon tusks and fragments were found with obsidian lithic materials (from non-local sources) around the periphery of a U-shaped living surface, and at Cave 5, camel, horse, bison, mountain sheep, fish, and waterfowl bones were recovered in conjunction with coprolites and tools providing radiocarbon dates from 16,190 to 13,030 years BP. Analysis of coprolites revealed that all of these animals were consumed in addition to sage grouse, desert parsley, goosefoot, sunflower, cactus, and rose hips (Aikens et al. 2011:51–53; Grayson 2011:61; NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). The Paisley Caves are also the earliest appearance of cordage with radiocarbon dates ranging from 12,700 to 10,200 years BP (NRAF 2015; Connolly et al. 2016:493). However, the search for a pre-Clovis archaeological record elsewhere in the Great Basin is ongoing and potential sites thus far have been unable to meet the criteria for pre-Clovis temporal placement. According to Grayson (2011) and McGuire and Hildebrandt (2016), a pre-Clovis site must be able to confirm that the finding is truly archaeological, has been firmly dated through a reliable means, is free from disturbance, and is published with a level of detail that allows an independent analysis. Clovis projectile points are relatively common in the Great Basin after 12,000 years BP, and usually occur in isolated contexts, but can be found in larger concentrations like the Sunshine Locality in eastern Nevada. Other artifacts associated with this period are Folsom and Great Basin Stemmed Points, bifacial blanks, knives, scrapers, crescents, punches, gravers, and in rare cases milling slabs and hand stones. Period sites and isolates are typically found adjacent to wetland habitats, indicating that human populations likely adapted to lacustrine resources in addition to hunting. Cordage from the Bonneville Estates Rock-shelter in northeastern Nevada suggests that nets may have been used for fishing or hunting small game. Sites are more common during the latter part of the period and there are shifts in settlement patterns with people exploiting inland resources and occupying rock-shelters away from wetlands (NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Early Archaic Period (8,000 to 6,000 years BP)
The Early Archaic period corresponds to the Middle Holocene. It is referred to by some researchers, especially in the northwestern Great Basin, as the Post-Mazama period because the beginning of the period roughly coincides with the eruption of Mount Mazama, which spread an ash layer over much of the region. As lakes dried up during this period, populations became more mobile and used short-term seasonal camps that shifted February 2022 | 175

locations depending on the availability of resources. Some of the driest areas of the central Great Basin appear to have been abandoned completely. However, populations were not as mobile as they were during the Paleo-Indian period and “selective sedentism” was practiced in which camps moved only when necessary. People generally lived in small groups containing several nuclear families with hunting and foraging parties being sent out to acquire resources. Foraging occurred mainly in upland areas that were not adversely affected by the change in climatic conditions (NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Great Basin Stemmed Points disappear from the archaeological record and are replaced with Northern Side-notched, Pinto, and Humboldt projectile points, indicating a transition from spears to dart technologies used in conjunction with the atlatl (McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Elko Series points appear in the eastern Great Basin during this period, but do not appear in the western Great Basin until the Middle Archaic (Hockett 1995). Other artifacts present in Early Archaic assemblages include woven baskets and trays (sometimes stylized and/or of the coiled variety), nets, snares, hafted knives, bone awls and needles, and steep-edged scrapers, and there is an increase in the presence of groundstone implements like pestles and V-shaped bowls. The increase in groundstone suggests an increased reliance on seeds and piñon nuts. Important Early Archaic sites from this period include the Gatecliff Rock-shelter in central Nevada and the O’Malley Rock-shelter and Bonneville Estates shelter in eastern Nevada (NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Other areas of the Great Basin were affected differently by changing conditions, but generally peoples adapted by reverting to small, highly mobile groups using expedient technologies. These sites are often characterized by small hunting camps with shallow hearths and stone working areas (Aikens et al. 2011:79; Grayson 2011:302; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Middle Archaic Period (6,000 to 1,500 years BP)
The stabilization of temperatures with increased precipitation at the outset of the Late Holocene resulted in increased biotic productivity within some of the region’s lakes and marshes. This led to the formation of larger populations with increased sedentism and a shift in settlement and subsistence patterns, referred to by some researchers as the “transHolocene highpoint.” Around 4,500 years BP the increased population density resulted in a settlement hierarchy, with lowland residential bases containing house pits and upland root camps with collecting stations, and logistical hunting sites. Intensive fishing, hunting, seed collection, and processing activities created a surplus of food that was stored in largevolume storage pits (Aikens et al. 2011:80–108; NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Important period sites include the and Eastgate Cave in central Nevada; Gypsum cave in southern Nevada; South Fork Rock-Shelter, Gatecliff Rock-Shelter, and Pie Creek Rockshelter in northeastern Nevada near Elko; and Newark Cave in White Pine County. Several of these sites, like the South Fork and Newark rock shelters, have produced invalid artifact associations due to soil disturbances, which has led to difficulties with temporal placement. However, these sites also contain Archaic and Fremont components like points and pottery indicating continued occupation into later periods (NRAF 2015; Madsen and Berry 1975; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016).

Artifact assemblages include Elko, Northern Side-notched, Gatecliff, Humboldt, Western Stemmed, and foliate projectile points; bifaces; obsidian cores, scrapers, drills, net weighs, bone/antler awls, flaking tools, and fishhooks; groundstone; marine shell (Haliotis sp. and Olivella sp.), stone, and bone beads; and pendants. Groundstone implements are common and include mortars, pestles, manos, and metates. The presence of spire-lopped Olivella sp. shell beads and Haliotis sp. shell ornaments from the Pacific Coast indicates increased levels of exchange. Technological changes include smaller dart points, the replacement of V-shaped bowls with U-shaped variants, and an emphasis on large bifaces from quarried sources. Additionally, populations were regularly targeting the same quarry locales repeatedly with the most notable being the Tosawihi (“White Knife”) quarry. The Tosawihi is the only quarry in the Great Basin with a definitive ethnohistoric reference to the Shoshone, and it contains a white, opalitic tool stone that stands out in assemblages. Faunal and botanical remains associated with period sites include seeds; waterfowl; and large mammal bones like mule deer, pronghorn, and elk (Aikens et al. 2011:80–108; NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Late Archaic Period (1,500 to 700 years BP)
The Late Archaic period coincides with a time during the Late Holocene when climatic temperatures fluctuated drastically. Profound cultural changes occurred during this period that appear to have disrupted settlement and subsistence patterns by having a consolidating effect on populations throughout the Great Basin. However, while some researchers argue that the shifting climate was the catalyst of cultural change, others argue that is may have also been the result of natural population increases, resource intensification, ethnic displacements (Numic or Fremont expansions), changes in technology, social conflict, or a combination of these (NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). The archaeological record reflects these changes in documentation of large increases in site sizes. Summer villages were established in the uplands and high alpine environments that were previously used as temporary hunting camps. The introduction of the bow-andarrow, which disseminated from the Columbia Plateau, is also a technological hallmark of the Late Archaic period. Projectile point sequences are marked by a series of small, corner-notched styles referred to as Rose Spring, Eastgate, or Rosegate, but there is generally continuity with Middle Archaic styles. Elko and Gatecliff points still appear prominently but are gradually phased out toward the end of the period. Intensification of standardized bifaces also continues from the previous period with use of localized quarries like Tosawihi. Local cherts and other cryptocrystalline silicates were the preferred tool stone while obsidian disappears from assemblages almost entirely. Concurrent with the introduction of the bow-and-arrow was the introduction of ceramic technology and a decrease in the complexity of basketry. Faunal assemblages reflect intensification as there are increases in several lower ranked foods like rabbits, hares, and ground squirrels (NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Formative Period (1,500 to 700 years BP)
Overlapping with the Late Archaic period in the eastern Great Basin is the Formative period, which is characterized by the introduction of the Fremont culture. Parowan Fremont February 2022 | 177

peoples migrated into parts of eastern Nevada from Utah about 1,600 years BP and some researchers suggest this migration may be associated with the introduction of ceramic technologies. Fremont peoples were horticulturists that cultivated maize, beans, and squash (the three sisters), the ultimate expression of precontact resource intensification. Maize disseminated north from Mexico around 4,500 years BP, reached Puebloan peoples in the Four Corners region by 2,500 years BP, and reached Utah and eastern Nevada by the Late Archaic period. The Fremont lived in permanent or semi-permanent villages on defensible cliff faces. They used semi-subterranean pithouses, as well as stone and adobe storage structures. Their material culture included one-rod-and-bundle basketry, split-twig figurines, grayware pottery, triangular-bodied anthromorphs, moccasins, and “Utah” trough milling stones. Projectile point technologies included Rosegate like their neighbors to the west, but also Bull Creek, Parowan, Basal-notched, and Bear River Side-notched points. Typically, eastern Nevada manifestations of the Fremont culture are surface scatters at short-term camps or limited-activity areas. However, there are known village sites like the Baker Village site and several potential villages at the Franklin Marshes. The Fremont disappeared around 700 years BP, but the reason for the decline and ultimate disappearance is unclear (Grayson 2011:328–330; NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016). Late/Terminal Precontact Period (700 years BP to Contact)
The Late or Terminal Precontact period corresponds to the second drought period of the MCA and is typically characterized by the eastern and northern spread of Numic peoples from the western Great Basin. Numic peoples from the western basin maintained a mobile hunter-forager settlement-subsistence pattern that was more conducive to the drier conditions. Hallmark diagnostic artifacts of the period are Desert Series projectile points such as Desert Side-notched and Cottonwood, as well as brownware pottery. Except for a few larger sites, like those at Little Boulder Basin, settlement systems became more dispersed and were smaller, short-term occupations serving individual family units. Domestic and residential activities were generally confined to an apron surrounding a house structure or hearth. A good example of this site type is the Tule Valley Rock-shelter near Elko, which contains a single component Numic occupation. The artifact assemblage is small, but large enough to serve a single family-band with milling stones, flaked stone implements, pottery, bone beads, and very little debitage. Procurement of tool stone appears to have been opportunistic with groups exploiting any usable stone available. Other sites include Pottery lin and Ridge Village North in Grass Valley, which extend into the historic period. Unless sites of this period were used into the ethnohistoric period, they are typically very ephemeral and difficult to recognize in multicomponent contexts (Warren and Crabtree 1986; Wells et al. 2013; NRAF 2015; McGuire and Hildebrandt 2016).
3.10.1.5 Ethnohistoric Context The proposed Project falls within the ancestral lands of the Newe peoples, or Western Shoshone. The Western Shoshone are part of the central Numic branch of the UtoAztecan language family with ancestral lands extending northeast from Death Valley in California to the southern boundary of Idaho. Their ancestral lands are bordered by the Goshute to the east; Numu or Northern Paiute, Owens Valley Paiute/Shoshone, and Tubatulabal to the west; the Kawaiisu, Nuwvi or Southern Paiute, and Panamint Shoshone February 2022 | 178

to the south and southeast; the Northern Shoshone to the north; and the Eastern Shoshone to the northeast (NRAF 2015). Background information on the Western Shoshone is discussed below.
Newe, or Western Shoshone, People Up until the mid-19th century, Newe peoples, like other groups within the Great Basin, were usually organized into band-sized, mobile hunter-gatherer groups with names and identities that reflected where they lived and/or what they ate. Newe, meaning “The People,” have been ascribed the name “Shoshone” by Euro-Americans during the 19th century. Some of the tribal and band names known through ethnographic sources (also ascribed by others) include the Goshute (Kusiutta), named for the frequent dust storms in their territory; the TɨPattɨkka, meaning eaters of pine nuts; and the Tosawihi (White Knife Shoshone), meaning white knife carriers. Outsiders also referred to Western Shoshone (Shoshoko) as Walkers, Root-Diggers, or Diggers. These latter names, which were also ascribed to other Indigenous groups, are generally considered derogatory. According to Newe Tribal histories, they have lived and hunted in their homelands in the Great Basin since time immemorial (Clemmer 1991; Green 2015:36; NRAF 2015; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). According to ethnographic studies conducted by Julian Steward (1941:211-212), there were a number of Newe localities in what is now Nevada. These localities were not bands or political groups, but independent villages. In northeastern Nevada, these localities referenced by their modern locations included Hamilton, Elko, Spring Valley, Ruby Valley, Egan, Battle Mountain, and Ely. Newe names of terrain features in the vicinity of Egan and Ely are documented on mid-to-late-19th century maps of the region: the Onkowean or Ungoweah mountains are now also known as the Duck Creek Range, and the Piowan mountains and valley are now also known as the southern part of the Egan Range and Jakes Valley, respectively (Bancroft and Knight 1864; Gibbes and Holt 1869). Individual family households, which in many cases including extended family, were the principal socioeconomic units among the Newe. Kinship ties were fluid and expanded to other groups so an individual could leave one group and join another, but people generally stayed with the group they were born into or married into. Polygyny and polyandry were sometimes practiced and the Newe could have more than one wife or husband (NRAF 2015; Barker 2016). However, there was a great deal of variation in marital practices such as the degree of relationship for a spouse. Some groups put taboos on relationships up to the second or third degree, while others preferred cross-cousin marriages. Sororate and levirate relationships, where a widow or widower married the brother or sister of their partner, were also practiced but with varying degrees of enforcement. There was also no true bride price and gifts provided to a bride’s family prior to marriage were reciprocated by the groom’s family. Some bands like the Tosawihi practiced temporary matrilocality but permanent residence generally depended upon available food supplies, the locations of other relatives, and individual preferences. Men could also obtain a wife by abducting her, married or unmarried, or fighting another man who claimed possession of the woman (Clemmer 1991; Steward 1941:252).

The sizes of households depended on seasonal movements; from spring through fall, groups remained smaller and mobile with households coming together during winter months to form villages. Familial units and villages were advised by leaders selected for their wisdom and success; Newe leaders or spokesmen were called teg’wani. Authority of leaders was commensurate on the type of political group and/or occasion. Some leaders controlled bands in their cooperative affairs like communal festivals and some were selected to take charge of smaller events like dances and rabbit drives. Leaders of larger villages within the Great Basin had little authority and mainly served as spokespersons to keep the community informed about important events. Succession of leaders was patrilineal but required the approval of the community (NRAF 2015; Barker 2016; Steward 1941:254). Villages contained approximately 50 people, or up to 20 families, and were established in relatively warmer areas that reinforced locality-based group identities. However, it should be noted that component families frequently wintered in separate regions depending on where they ended up after procuring resources during the summer and fall (Steward 1941:254). Resources were pooled and stored in caches for use throughout the winter. Caches were sometimes robbed, but if a person was caught stealing winter stores they could be killed. Winter houses were conical huts (pole lodges) and were sometimes dug into the ground 2 to 3 feet, as were the semi-subterranean sweathouses used by the Newe for gatherings and/or ceremonies. Sweathouses at localities near Steptoe Valley were more recently adopted from the Ute to the east. Winter houses were designed to accommodate one family or six persons. The structures were framed with poles and covered with bark, grass, or woven mats with a tier of stone around the outer edge for support. There were smoke holes at the apex of the structures and an entrance that faced away from prevailing winds. Caves, rock shelters, or simple brush structures were used during the summer. House arrangement in winter villages was random and those in temporary camps were built in a circle around a central dance ground. Houses were abandoned after a tribal member passed away (NRAF 2015; Barker 2016; Steward 1941:232-234). Some villages kept eagle aeries in cages to be used for their feathers in making arrows, trade, and adornment. Capturing an eagle or nest was a dangerous endeavor reserved for those possessing special climbing power (Steward 1941:224). The Newe had a gender-based division of labor in which men hunted for the group and women gathered seeds, pine nuts, geophytes, grasses, and other plant resources. Each person typically made their own objects or tools for use and owned those objects because they applied the effort to make it – a principle applied to all types of property. Men made equipment necessary for hunting, like arrows and stone tools, while women made items like baskets for food preparation and storage. The gender division was not entirely rigid, with men and women working together at times to gather resources, work hides, make nets for fishing, and participate in communal rabbit drives. Generally, men’s tasks did not occupy a significant amount of time and they helped women with many duties such as pine-nut gathering where men used beaters to knock the nuts from the trees while women would catch them with woven baskets or trays (NRAF 2015; Barker 2016; Steward 1941:253-254). Berdaches or transvestites were not common but known to every group and were not regarded with distain but mild interest. These individuals would merely

undertake the duties, dress, and mannerisms of the opposite sex. Generally, they did not marry but there are some accounts of them having children (Steward 1941:252). As mentioned earlier, Newe subsistence relied on hunting and gathering, which was often difficult in the Great Basin. Large game animals often inhabited the mountainous areas and were scarce in the valleys. The most important game animals were the deer, antelope, and mountain sheep, which were usually hunted by stalking, trailing, and ambushing. Large game could also be hunted using pit traps or corrals concealed by brush wings. Hunters would drive the animals to the trap or corral where other hunters were waiting to make the kill. This could also be achieved through deer or antelope charming where a shaman would draw the animal to the hunters by singing. Rams could be attracted to hunters by thumping logs together in order to simulate a ram fight. Although traps, nets, and snares could be used for larger game, they were mainly used to capture small game animals and birds. These methods were most often employed in communal rabbit or waterfowl drives and sometimes fishing if a group was near a river like the Humboldt. Those who could not hunt normally had to subsist on rodents, reptiles, insects, and seeds. Every part of the animal was utilized in one way or another. Aside from seed gathering, horticulture was practiced around Steptoe Valley during the Late Period having been introduced from the south and the east. Small gardens were cultivated near water sources when available, but irrigation was also utilized. Crops included corn (maic), pumpkins, several varieties of squash (padaƞada), muskmelons (kamitu), sunflowers (a:kű), a variety of beans, and watermelons (pavonokutc) (Steward 1941:218-232). The material culture of the Newe lacked tools like axes, wedges, and adzes utilized by neighboring tribes, but nonetheless, they did have a substantial tool kit at their disposal. Ethnographic and archaeological data indicate the use of spoons, dippers, knives, scrapers, awls, drills, mortars, metates, arrows, shaft straighteners, bows, pottery, and baskets among others. Bows were generally used for hunting rather than war, mainly because war was infrequent prior to contact with Euro-Americans. There were three types of willow or juniper bows utilized by the Newe: self, sinew-backed wood, and sinew-backed horn. Pottery was used by all Newe groups but was not as prevalent as basketry, which was more suitable to the nomadic lifestyle due to its light weight and versatility. Basketry was primarily made from willow and was either twined or coiled. Twilling was also used, but only for the manufacture of the bases for water ollas (otsa). Besides ollas, basketry was used for seed beaters (tsiƞgu or dziƞgu), winnowing or parching trays, conical seed baskets (wá:sa), cradles, burdens, and hats (sunadidoi) for protection from piñon sap and the tumpline of burdens.9 There are many stylistic variations in Newe basketry ollas; those made around the Ely locality contained a decorative band near the top and bottom, were approximately 12.5 inches tall, 11 inches in diameter tapering to 2 inches at the spout, and were made with diagonal twining (Steward 1941:238-244). Other than communal hunts, different villages and household groups from different villages would gather at times for important events like dances and social gatherings (NRAF 2015; Barker 2016). One of these gatherings was the annual, six-day Gwini festival that was held in conjunction with harvests before the onset of winter. Gatherings like the Gwini were 9 Julian Steward (1941) provided many variations for naming conventions depending on the specific locality.
The terminology provided in this text is specific to the area around the Ely locality.

important for reestablishing or maintaining kinship ties, arranging marriages, trading, exchanging information, recounting histories, and reinforcing religious beliefs (Clemmer 1991; Barker 2016). Another important social aspect of these communal gatherings were games, which included the ball race (su:tako’in), shinney (naditoindua), the ring-and-pin game (totokoindui), the hand game/four-stick guessing game (naiyawina), four-stick dice (danzahni), and several others (Steward 1941:247-250). The Gwini was replaced with a July 4th pow-wow in 1915 and evolved into a “fandango” during the mid-20th century, which combined traditional practices like round dances and singing with other events like rodeos (Clemmer 1991; Barker 2016). The back-and-forth dance and exhibition dance, and the sun dance were also performed during these gatherings but were adopted from neighboring tribes and were short lived (Steward 1941:266). Newe beliefs are centered on the people’s relationship with the natural world. Physical nature sustains life with power and spirits found in plants, animals, mountains, rocks, caves, springs, lakes, and phenomena such as lightning. If not controlled, these powers and spirits could be dangerous, but people could also seek their aid for good health, success, or a desired skill such as climbing power, luck in gambling, longevity, and invulnerability (Vander 1995; NRAF 2015; Steward 1941:264). For example, spirits or power could be attained from the bighorn sheep to help establish virility and hunting prowess (Whitley 1982). Following a spirit vision or dream, power could be obtained through song and dance, which facilitated its transfer from the spirit to the people (Vander 1995; Steward 1941:257). Shamans had the strongest connections with the physical and spiritual world. They could cause harm or cure illnesses and exact a degree of control over the natural world through spirits they obtained (NRAF 2015). Some special powers of shamans included curing rattlesnake bites, closing wounds, letting blood, using a fire drill for curing, aiding childbirth, altering the weather, and capturing animals. However, shamans were usually not requested unless a person was unresponsive to home remedies indicating that the cause of ailment was supernatural such as loss of the soul or witchcraft (Steward 1941:258-260). Death customs varied and a person could be buried, abandoned in their house if a camp was being moved, or cremated. Burial was the most common method and often times people would be buried in a rockslide if in a mountainous area (Steward 1941:256). The numerous myths, legends, and stories of the Newe help explain the relationship of the people with the world around them. One of the most important is the creation story in which Coyote and Wolf were the most prominent beings and water was the most primal element of nature (Steward 1941:267). Coyote populated the earth with people by letting them out of a jug at different areas throughout the Great Basin during his travels. Coyote is also known as a trickster and was responsible for introducing death into the world and ending the age when animals were like people (Sutton 1993; NRAF 2015). Wolf (ija) was the brother of coyote and was considered to be a benevolent being sometimes referred to as Father (ap:ə). Some beliefs include Wolf as presiding over the afterlife, although this is not universal (Steward 1941:263).

Indigenous Context First contact between the Newe and Euro-Americans occurred between 1827 and 1846, when many fur trappers and explorers traversed the Great Basin. However, few explorers, trappers, or miners penetrated the Great Basin prior to 1850 (Steward 1941:210). Thereafter, settlers streamed through the territory on their way to the goldfields of California (Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). In 1851 Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act, establishing the formation of reservations, but at the time this was a concern only for settled areas like California. As travel through the Great Basin grew, so did the number of skirmishes between Native Americans and settlers along the trails. Each side began to view the other as a threat to its way of life that had to be dealt with, and in 1858 this culminated in the Pyramid Lake War. In 1859 Utah Territory’s Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Jacob Forney, negotiated a treaty with the Tosawihi Newe for travel rights in what is now eastern Nevada. The following year, Utah Territory’s chief agent from the Office of Indian Affairs, Frederick Dodge, created the Pyramid Lake and Walker River Reservations in what is now western Nevada, foreshadowing later events in the east (Green 2015:75–76; Barker 2016). In 1859, while Forney was negotiating travel rights through the Great Basin, Colonel Edward Steptoe and his cavalry were dispatched to what would later become eastern Nevada to retaliate against Newe people for attacking the stage station at Egan Pass among other depredations. Colonel Steptoe tracked the Native Americans to Hercules Gap, to the north of what is now the City of Ely, and surrounded their position. Part of the cavalry went through Hercules Gap from the east and pushed the Native Americans out the west end where the remainder of Colonel Steptoe’s forces were waiting in ambush. Eighty-two Native Americans were killed in what was considered the “last Indian battle in eastern Nevada” and their bodies were left in place as a warning. Accounts tell of only two survivors: one Native American who took the name of Dave McQuiddy, proprietor of the Georgetown Ranch (later, part of the Ely townsite) where he later worked as a ranch hand; and “Potato John”, who lived in a small village near Cherry Creek (Tonopah Weekly Bonanza 1909; Reno Evening Gazette 1910). In 1861 agent Warren Wasson was sent by Nevada Territory Governor James Nye to meet with the Newe leader, Tu-tu-wa, who presided over a band of more than 400 warriors in the Reese River Valley. Initially, an informal agreement was reached in which the Newe would cease attacking travelers and allow them to use their resources in exchange for no loss of land. However, this agreement would not suffice because the United States was working on plans for a transcontinental railroad through the region and had to ensure no interference from the Native Americans. In 1863, Nye and federal Indian agents met with the Western Shoshone led by Te-Moak and signed the Treaty of Ruby Valley. The Shoshone agreed to cease hostilities against whites in exchange for annual payments of $5,000 in cash, cattle, or other merchandise as compensation for disruption of their food supply (Green 2015:75–76; Barker 2016; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). The Shoshone expected that any reservations created would allow them to stay in the valleys where they lived for thousands of years, but they were forced to relocate to the Ruby Valley Reservation with Northern Paiutes in modern-day Elko County (Green 2015:75–76; Barker 2016; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018).

annual payments established in the Treaty of Ruby Valley were not made to the Western Shoshone after the initial disbursement. As a result, two Shoshone bands did not submit to the treaty and were subsequently hunted down by federal troops at Duck Creek and the Cleveland Ranch in the Schell Creek Range (Reno Evening Gazette 1932). The army unit was led by Brigadier General Patrick Connor who ordered his troops to “give no quarter” resulting in the slaughter of the entire village. The atrocity was reported as reprisal for the robbing of the Pony Express and the scalps of the murdered Native Americans were nailed to the stage station as a warning. Connor was court martialed for these crimes, but acquitted by senior officers (Hudgins 1906). The 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley was the only Newe treaty to be ratified by Congress and it did not include any articles concerning the Newe ceding land. Therefore, it was understood by the Newe that they were granted ownership of what became eastern Nevada. However, as settlers began inhabiting the region, they claimed the most fertile areas for themselves, resulting in conflict (Barker 2016; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). By 1875 the first reservation, Carlin Farms, was established exclusively for the Western Shoshone people. Carlin Farms closed in 1879, two years after the Duck Valley Reservation was established for the Western Shoshone and Northern Paiute (Barker 2016). Initially, the Duck Valley reservation was supposed to be exclusive to Western Shoshone, but less than one-third of the people were coerced to live there, so it was opened to Northern Paiutes (Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). Those who did not live on the reservations lived on the outskirts of towns like Ely and were subjected to depredations by the settlers. In one instance, the Shoshone at Ely threatened revolt because whites were using Shoshone women for “base purposes” (Reno Evening Gazette 1888). Over the next four decades, numerous reservations were established throughout Nevada: Fort McDermitt (1892), Fallon (1906 and 1917), Reno-Sparks (1917), Bishop (1913), Fort Independence (1915), and Big Pine (1922) (Barker 2016). Although many reservations were created prior to 1930, such as the Ibapah Reservation (now part of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshutes), only a relatively small number of Native Americans lived on them and were provided with a means to live. Some Native Americans also lived in colonies like the Elko Colony, Battle Mountain Colony, Wells Colony, and Ely Colony that provided housing for Native Americans near towns or cities, but these colonies did not provide resources to support economic activities (Rusco 1991; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018; Utah Division of Indian Affairs 2019). The initial size of the Ely Colony was only 10 acres on mostly steep terrain to the south of the town and only water services were provided (Reno Evening Gazette 1929). Generally, the Western Shoshone found work at ranches for low pay, but they also developed skills that would eventually help them to establish their own ranches (Rusco 1991; Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018; Utah Division of Indian Affairs 2019). The pay was not enough to make a living, so traditional methods of subsistence were used to compensate. Pinenuts, which appear in abundance approximately every three years, were gathered in the mountains surrounding Ely for consumption or sale, and hunting parties would come to the Steptoe Valley from as far as Utah for deer and sagehen. The latter activity was a point of contention that led to disagreements about whether or not Native Americans had to abide by Nevada hunting laws and in some instances, fines were unjustly levied for hunting out of season (Reno Evening Gazette 1937 and 1939) Other than hunting, fishing, February 2022 | 184

and gathering, people would also conduct communal enka-cippah—“red prairie dog” hunts while irrigating fields. Like traditional rabbit drives, one member of a group would flood the field to drive the prairie dogs from their holes while the rest of the group captured them (Clemmer 1991). The impetus for change occurred in 1933 when John Collier was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs and sought to protect Native Americans rather than force assimilation. The following year, the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (also called the Wheeler-Howard Act or Indian New Deal) outlined provisions for the establishment of tribal governments on reservations to be formally recognized by the United States and provided appropriations for the creation of new reservations and additions to existing ones. Following the act, the Duckwater, South Fork, and Yomba Reservations were created in Western Shoshone territory, as well as the Ely Shoshone Tribal Reservation in White Pine County, Nevada. Then in 1938, United States vs. McGowan established that colonies were legally equivalent to reservations and established as trust territories eligible for aid and services (Rusco 1991; Ely Shoshone Tribe undated). The same year, the South Fork Reservation joined with the Elko, Battle Mountain, and Wells Colonies to adopt a constitution forming the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone, which was recognized by the federal government (Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone 2018). In 1977, after nearly 10 years of deliberations, a measure was passed which increased Ely Colony lands by 90 acres and provided funds for housing and economic development within the Ely Colony and Duckwater Reservation (Reno Evening Gazette 1969, 1972, and 1977). In 1994 the Ely Shoshone Tribe (undated) negotiated with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Services to start self-governance as a sovereign nation. Properties of Traditional Religious and Cultural Significance/Importance
The NHPA and the 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing it refer to “properties of traditional religious and cultural significance” and “properties of traditional religious and cultural importance.” These two terms are synonymous: geographic places prominent in a particular group’s cultural practices, beliefs, or values, when those practices, beliefs or values: (i) are widely shared within the group, (ii) have been passed down through the generations, and (iii) have served a recognized role in maintaining the group’s cultural identity for at least 50 years. Traditional cultural places or properties (TCPs) can be traditional religious and culturally important resources that meet the NRHP criteria (United States Code [USC] Title 16 Section 470w-5, 36 CFR §800.16(l)) and have significance to tribes. TCPs and other cultural resources can be components of traditional or tribal cultural landscapes (TCLs). TCLs are any place in which a relationship, past or present, exists between a spatial area, resource, and an associated group of indigenous people whose cultural practices, beliefs, or identity connects them to that place. Therefore, TCLs may be inclusive of multiple cultural components, that together comprise a single landscape, such as archaeological artifacts, that may have significance to the Western Shoshone through a relationship with a TCP, and/or properties of traditional religious and cultural importance/significance (ACHP 2020; Ball et al. 2015).

It should be noted, however, that these resource types are not property types considered under the NHPA or NRHP regulations; rather, they represent a type of significance that can be applied to property types considered under NHPA or NRHP. Historic property types are limited to those specified in the NHPA and the NRHP regulations and include districts, buildings, structures, sites, and objects. TCPs and other traditional religious and culturally important resources are most often identified as sites or districts. For Native American tribes, these types of significance are determined through government-to-government consultation and information regarding them is often confidential and only shared at the discretion of the individual tribe.
3.10.1.6 Euro-American Context American settlement in what was to become White Pine County dates to 1860, when the Pony Express built Ruby Station along the Simpson-Egan Trail / Central Overland Trail. The Pony Express was short-lived; nevertheless, the way stops created along the mail routes became a framework for settlement. Between 1860 and 1865, the small settlement that began to form around Ruby Station was the only populated place in what was to become White Pine County. Then in 1865, the White Pine Mining District was formed, and the town of Hamilton grew at its center. During the 1860s, scattered mining camps and Pony Express stations dotted the landscape and stage, wagon, and freight trails crisscrossed the region, linking them together. The influx of settlers led to conflict with the Native peoples and a fort was established at Schellbourne (Elliott 1939:145–146; Green 2015:77; Hall 1994:118). Hamilton and the White Pine Mining District grew rapidly because of the “White Pine Rush” and mining prospects around Treasure Hill. Like the California Gold Rush and the Comstock Lode, thousands of people flocked to Hamilton and made it one of the largest towns in the West by the late 1860s. The rapid population increase led to the demand for organized governance of the region and White Pine County was created on April 1, 1869, with Hamilton as the county seat. The county took its name from the mining district, which took its name from White Pine Mountain. The White Pine Rush ended in the 1870s, but new discoveries in the region at areas like Cherry Creek promoted new growth (Elliott 1939:145–147; Hall 1994:118). Generally, early White Pine County was a collection of mining communities relying almost exclusively on silver production, but ores also contained copper, iron, lead, and antimony. Mining districts booming and busting following the White Pine District included the Ward District (1876–1880), the Cherry Creek District (1880–1885), the Taylor District (1885– 1888), the Osceola District, and the Robinson District. The development of towns coincided with the rise and fall of these mining districts. For example, Hamilton was the largest town in the county from 1865 to approximately 1872. Production of the mines had already declined, and people were leaving in droves. A cigar store owner set fire to his store in 1873 for the insurance money and the fire engulfed the whole town. The town of Treasure City suffered the same fate and was never rebuilt. Hamilton was rebuilt but never fully recovered and was disincorporated in 1875. By 1885 debt and other disasters plagued the town, and in 1887 the county seat was transferred to Ely (Elliott 1939:150–167).

The decline of silver mining began during the mid-1880s and was mainly due to a decline in the price of silver after the past two decades of mining flooded the world market. Another local factor was a decline in the number of high-grade ores, which reduced profitability further. This would have been the end for most towns in White Pine County; however, agricultural and ranching possibilities were being realized in areas like the Robinson District. The agricultural, cattle, and sheep industries were able to maintain the economies of towns like Ely until the next big mining boom took hold after the turn of the 20th century. Between the years 1888 and 1907, wool was the county’s number one resource (Elliott 1939:158–60). After 1907, copper mining surpassed stock raising and fueled growth within the county, especially after the development of the NNR. More than $1 billion worth of copper had been produced from White Pine County mines during the first half of the 20th century, but the industry eventually declined because of a combination of low copper prices, low-grade ore, and government regulations. The county also saw some activity in oil drilling during the mid-20th century, but production was generally low. Mining bounced back during the late 20th century with the advent of microscopic gold mining, and old silver and copper mines began producing more than 1 million ounces of gold per year, and to date 752 mines are recorded in the county. Today, White Pine County’s economy is still fueled by mining and ranching, as well as recreation. Every year tourists head to the region to explore the Lehman Caves, visit various ghost towns, or take a ride on the “ghost train” at East Ely’s Nevada Northern Railway Museum. White Pine County also contains Great Basin National Park—one of the newest national parks in the United States (Elliott 1939:158–160; Hall 1994:118; Picard 2009; Western Mining History 2020).
Ely (Mineral City, Georgetown Ranch, Murray Creek Station) Mineral City
Mining discoveries in the area around what would one day become Ely occurred as early as 1864 and was centered at Mineral City (Elliott 1966:174; Hall 1994:144–145). Mineral City began as a stage stop near Copper Flat in Robinson Canyon and was developed into a mining camp using materials from the town of Ward, which was in decline at the time (Garaghan 1906:11). In 1874, the population dropped due to declining ore values, but mining operations continued through the 1870s. The Watson Company even opened a new mill and processed ore from mines like the Silver Star near Hercules Gap (Nevada State Journal 1874; Hall 1994:164). Georgetown Ranch
While Mineral City was beginning to develop, George Morley brought a contingent of Mormon settlers to Steptoe Valley along Murray Creek between Hercules Gap and what would one day be East Ely (Ballandby 2008:66). The group settled on approximately 2,300 acres and named the area “George’s Town”, which later became Georgetown Ranch abutting the southeast portion of the study area. Some sources (Nevada State Journal 1950a) state that the town was named after Morley while others (Ballandby 2008:66) say it was named after George Cannon, the first president of the Church of Latter Day Saints. It was the first ranch in the area and played an important role in the development of Ely. February 2022 | 187

During the early 20th century, it was considered one of the finest ranches in eastern Nevada where hogs and cattle were raised in conjunction with a large, cultivated area for growing alfalfa (The White Pine News 1921). The ranch also had water rights to Murray Creek, Steptoe Creek, and Warm Springs, as well as grazing rights for 1,485 animal units per month. Additional grazing rights were also purchased annually by the ranch for surrounding BLM lands (Nevada State Journal 1950b). The Ely Townsite Company purchased the Georgetown Ranch and leased it to numerous owners throughout the 20th century (The White Pine News 1907). Murray Creek Station / Ely
Several miles to the east of Mineral City was a small stage stop known as Murray Creek Station, controlled by Harry Featherstone, with the water rights controlled by J.R. Withington. Murray Creek Station consisted of a few cabins and a post office when George Lamb platted it as a townsite in 1870 and took control of the water rights. In 1878 Murray Creek Station, with a population between 25 and 30, was also renamed Ely in honor of Smith Ely, the president of the Selby Mining Company (White Pine County undated; Elliott 1966:174; Hall 1994:144–145). Other accounts state that Ely was named after Congressman Alfred Ely of New York, who had a mining interest in the town (Garaghan 1906:11), or frontiersman John Ely, who loaned A.J. Underhill $5,000 to purchase the land where Ely was eventually built (Cook and Deane undated:8; Garaghan 1906:11; Elliott 1966:174; Hall 1994:144–145). During the 1880s, silver discoveries in the region bolstered Ely’s population, making it the next White Pine County boom town. After Ely was designated as the new county seat, the town grew at a steady pace and had a population of more than 300 by 1890 (Elliott 1939:160; Hall 1994:145). Electric power was first introduced to Ely through the Chainman Mining and Electric Company, which was part of the Robinson Mining District. In 1892, the owners of the Chainman mine built a small mill with a Pelton wheel for a dynamo that was designed to run an electric tramway between the mines and the mill (The White Pine News 1892). The mine was then purchased by J.G. Marx in 1900 and incorporated as the Chainman Mining and Electric Company, which maintained an electric light plant (The White Pine News 1900 and 1906a). Ely might have suffered the fate of other mining boom towns in the area if it did not have ranching to maintain it when silver production decreased. However, vast copper reserves uncovered during the late 19th century revitalized Ely’s mining industry and, after the turn of the 20th century, the copper boom transformed it into a regional center of commerce. After construction of the NNR in 1906, Ely really began to grow, and reports of the copper production attracted many people seeking either work in the mines or business prospects in town (Hall 1994:145). Following the decline of the copper industry in the wake of World War I, the population of Ely diminished, but rose again after the mines reopened during the 1940s (Hall 1994:145). Following the closure of the Kennecott Copper Company in the 1960s, Ely’s population declined to 4,500, but was stabilized in the 1970s and 1980s by projects like the development of a power plant and the construction of rural subdivisions like Cross Timbers and Hercules Gate. During the late 1980s, construction began on the Ely State Prison with February 2022 | 188

initial operations starting in 1989, which provided an additional economic boost (Reno Evening Gazette 1989). McGill
McGill is best known as the smelting site during the 20th century copper boom, but it was initially a ranch. John Cowger founded the ranch in 1872 and began cultivating grain using the area’s relatively limited water resources. By 1880 the Cowger Ranch controlled all the water rights in the area, which would make the property extremely valuable in the coming decades. In 1886 William Neil McGill and William Lyons, who co-founded the town of Taylor, purchased the ranch from Cowger, and made it one of the most prosperous ranches in White Pine County (White Pine County undated; Hall 1994:161). William McGill was a surveyor and engineer who came to Nevada from Ohio during the Comstock boom and worked on the Sutro (drainage) Tunnel there. Later, he came to White Pine County and conducted survey work for the Ely and Copper Flat townsites, then worked for the Martin White Company as a civil engineer in 1873. Although the McGill Ranch was important for the area’s economy, it did not do much to facilitate growth of a town. The driving force behind development of McGill (originally called Smelterville) as a town was the $10 million smelter that was built there between 1906 and 1908 for the Steptoe Valley Smelting and Milling Company, and the construction of the NNR’s McGill depot. A year after opening, the McGill smelter employed 2,200 workers and the Steptoe Valley Company built modern facilities for its employees, opened several businesses, and made it the company headquarters. The company even organized a newspaper, the Copper Ore, and within a short time, McGill had become a company town (Hall 1994:161–162; Bassett and Bassett 2011:49–50). By 1920 the population of McGill reached 2,850 and peaked around 3,000 during the early 1930s. The Great Depression had a devastating effect on the town, and it was never able to fully recover because of a decline in the copper industry. In 1955 the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company, which now owned the company town, sold the town lots, and relinquished governance of the town to White Pine County in 1956. The cost of upgrades to comply with new environmental regulations forced closure of the mill in the early 1970s. The mill was completely dismantled and by the end of the 20th century, the population of McGill decreased to approximately 250 people (Hall 1994:161–162). The Robinson, Duck Creek, and San Francisco Mining Districts
Portions of the APE are located within or near the historic Robinson, Duck Creek, and San Francisco Mining Districts. All three districts were formed in the late 1860s and underwent various degrees of development throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is important to note that mining activities also occurred outside of these district boundaries, and historically, the Robinson District’s boundaries were much larger and once included wellknown localities like Copper Flat. These districts are discussed below in order of historical importance and development.

The Robinson Mining District and the 20th Century Copper Boom at Ely Ely is the center of the Robinson Mining District, which was named for Thomas Robinson, who staked the first claim there in 1867. The district is also known as the Ruth, Kimberly, or Ely District (Smith 1976:64-65). Early mining in the area was focused on locating gold and silver; however, production was sporadic and limited. The Robinson District contained vast amounts of copper ore, but mining, smelting, and transporting the ore was unprofitable at the time. In 1873 the Selby Copper Company of Ohio, under Joseph Long, attempted to mine and process ore in Robinson Canyon, but the effort ultimately failed. Miners continued to file claims in the Robinson District, and by 1888, they had inadvertently exposed a huge copper deposit (Elliott 1966:174–175). Edwin Gray and David Bartley arrived in 1900 after accepting jobs at the local Chainman mine working for Sam Shepherd. Gray was to become the chief engineer of the mine and Bartley the foreman. After arriving in Ely, Gray and Bartley decided to investigate the area on their own and recognized copper outcroppings at existing mining claims. Two mines were staked in 1897 and enough work had been completed previously to expose several deposits. The claims were optioned for only 90 days, so Gray and Bartley wasted no time in digging shafts and tunnels. They tunneled into the mountain more than 650 feet and encountered ore at 145 feet depth. (Elliott 1966:177). Gray and Bartley managed to prove to themselves and many local miners that the copper deposit had depth, but they still had to convince investors. In 1902 a man by the name of Williams visited the mine, spent some time with Gray and Bartley, and then went on his way. Williams was actually J.B. Stevens in the employ of Mark Requa, who controlled the Eureka and Palisade Railroad. Interested in the prospect, Requa returned to the GrayBartley mine with Stevens and offered to option their claims for $150,000. Gray and Bartley accepted, but instead opted to take their payment in stock. In 1903 Requa formed the White Pine Copper Company under the laws of California with an initial capital of $500,000. The company included a total of 15 claims, thereafter, known as the Ruth Group, with Edwin Gray as superintendent (Elliott 1966:178–179). Concurrent with the development of Requa’s Ruth Group mines were Martin’s Copper Flat mines, which incorporated in 1902 as the New York and Nevada Copper Company under the laws of New Jersey with a capital of $5 million. The company also owned the 560-acre Georgetown Ranch that was to be used as a processing location. After spending $400,000 in development and nearly completing a smelter, the company encountered financial difficulties. It was bought out by the Loring and Sons banking house of Boston and reformed as the Boston and Nevada Copper Company. In 1904 Requa and his New York financier, James Phillips, convinced the Loring brothers to merge with the White Pine Copper Company to form the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company. By 1905 the new company controlled much of the copper ore reserves in the region. Further financing of the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company was necessary to move forward, especially regarding the construction of a railroad. Requa received his much-needed financial backing from the Hayden, Stone and Company banking firm; however, continued support was dependent on the determinations of mining expert J. Parke Channing. Luckily Channing’s report determined that nearly $2 million in profit could be attained (Elliott 1966:183–184). February 2022 | 190

In 1914 the start of World War I caused the price of copper to skyrocket, and it seemed the mines could not produce enough ore fast enough. The copper boom ended at the conclusion of the war, leading to layoffs with the mines operating at half capacity through 1920. The following year all but 250 workers were laid off. In 1922 the demand for copper increased enough to necessitate the Nevada Consolidated to operate three steady shifts again, but after 2 months of operation a fire destroyed the mill at McGill. The mill was rebuilt in 69 days and operated at full capacity until the late 20th century. In 1933 the Alaskan copper company Kennecott (owned by the Guggenheims) acquired all assets of the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company and merged it into the Nevada Consolidated Copper Corporation. In 1943 the company was completely absorbed by Kennecott and became the Nevada Mines Division of the Kennecott Copper Corporation. New environmental regulations forced Kennecott to reduce production in 1978. The end finally came 5 years later, when a reduction in ore quality and higher wages forced closure on June 15, 1983. Consequently, the closure of the mill also signaled the end of the railroad (Hall 1994:145; Bassett and Bassett 2011:9–10). Ely-Resurrection Copper Company and Hercules Group Mining areas
Robinson District mines closest to the APE were the Ely-Resurrection and the Hercules Group (Adams 1907:21). Copper ore was first discovered here in 1906 with approximately 16 percent copper value, considerably less than the 60 percent found in other parts of the district to the south (The White Pine News 1906b). The Ely-Resurrection mines consisted of 500 acres located in the Egan Range to the north of Ely and southwest of Hercules Gap. Within the first year of operation (1907), the mines produced nearly 500 tons of copper ore (Adams 1907:13). Principal metals recovered included copper, silver, and gold in order of abundance with the most profitable of the 32 claims being the Monte Cristo, Rattler, Black Horse, and Black Horse No. 3 (The White Pine News 1909a). The Hercules Group mines were located to the north of the Ely-Resurrection property and southwest of Hercules Gap, bordering the San Francisco Mining District to the north (Adams 1907:21). The claims in this mine were initially filed by Henry Spear and Sam Ersted who incorporated their holdings under the Ely Majestic Company in 1909. The most well-known claims in Robinson District’s Hercules Group included the Ely Majestic No. 3 and No. 4, the Norseman, and the Sunday (The White Pine News 1909b). After 1910, Robinson District mines in the vicinity of Hercules Gap declined with ranching and agriculture taking precedence. Aside from several small farms and ranches, the area to the west of Hercules Gap was also used by the Adams-McGill Company and the Georgetown Ranch for cattle and sheep grazing (The White Pine News 1921). Duck Creek Mining District The eastern end of the study area is within the Duck Creek Mining District, a historic mining district organized in 1869. The northern part of the district was originally known as Enterprise and the southern part was known as McDougal. The southeastern portion of the district was later known as Success, while the southwestern part was called Peacock (Tingley 1998:77). The district is located within the Duck Creek Range, extending from Gallagher Gap in the north to Mosier Canyon in the south, near the headwaters of Duck

Creek (Hill 1916:196–199; Hall 1994:138). Following the initial discovery of ore, ranching was the main industry of this area through the late 19th century (Hall 1994:138). Mining activity in the district began to increase in 1905 after D.C. McDonald discovered the Success Mine, which produced lead, silver, and gold (Hall 1994:138). Other mined commodities within the district included copper, zinc, limestone, and fire clay, with lead being the most prominent and profitable (Tingley and Bentz 1982). One of the production areas within the district included the Ely Gibraltar claims, Lead King claims, and the Mayflower group. The Lead King claims are the closest to the study area and appear to be located just to the southeast, near the crest of the Duck Creek Range (Hill 1916:196–199; Hall 1994:138). The peak operation of this district occurred in 1915 when 12 mines were active; however, later production at any single mine was intermittent (Smith 1976:51). Production in the district remained small and steady until 1960, after which there was very little activity. A population decrease followed the decline of the mines, and by the late 20th century there were only four ranches operating in the area (Hill 1916:196–199; Hall 1994:138). Mining activity remains low, but there are still active claims in the district such as Roy Allen’s (personal communication 2021) gold claims in the vicinity of the original Lead King mines. San Francisco Mining District The east-central portion of the study area is within the of the San Francisco Mining District, which was originally organized in 1869 as the Hercules or Hercules Gate District. It is located on an extension of the Egan Range, west of McGill, and south of Heusser Mountain. Mined commodities within the district included silver, copper, lead, tin, and zinc in order of abundance (Tingley and Bentz 1982; Tingley 1998:198). Although early mining records for this district are lacking, other sources indicate it was relatively active immediately after organization. The Silver Star was the first principal mine in the district and was worked successfully. Ores were taken southwest to Mineral City for processing via the Hercules Gate Road (Nevada State Journal 1874). Other claims in the district included the Mammoth, Confidence, Ida, Empire, Hercules, and Excelsior. According to the 1875 annual mining report, Hercules Gap separated the San Francisco District from the Robinson District during the late 19th century (Smith 1976:75). During the early 20th century, the southern boundary of the district was expanded to the south to include the northern portion of the old Robinson District. The mines in the San Francisco District were active through the 1870s and 1880s, but like other nearby districts, production declined until the 20th century copper boom. Activity in the district increased dramatically in 1907 when the Homestake Company, the Ely Jackpot Company, and the Standard Extension Company began sinking shafts to locate deeply buried high-grade copper ores like those in the Robinson District to the south (The White Pine News 1907). The best developed mining property in the district was the Mammoth claim located approximately a half mile to the northwest of Hercules Gap. It produced significant amounts of copper and lead with potential for silver ore. The decline of the district coincided with the end of the copper boom during the mid-20th century, but intermittent mining activity occurred throughout the late 20th century (Tingley and Bentz 1982).

Early Railroad Development
Small population booms characterized mid-19th century growth, but this would change to a steadier growth toward the latter part of the century with the building of railroads. In 1862 Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Bill authorizing the Central Pacific and Union Pacific to construct a transcontinental line. The first rails were spiked in 1863; however, construction of a rail line from San Francisco through the Sierra Nevada and Ruby Mountains was an astronomically difficult task and numerous problems were encountered. First, the government was slow to provide the promised financial support; and second, railroad employees would frequently desert the project for more lucrative prospects. Financial difficulties were compounded while building through the Great Basin because all the supplies had to be shipped from California. These problems were solved by the close of 1865 when the Central Pacific found that thousands of Chinese laborers, who were unemployed because of the decline of the Gold Rush, were willing to work the railroad for little pay without complaint. Within 4 years, Chinese rail workers would accomplish an extraordinary feat of engineering when they met the Union Pacific Railroad in Utah on May 10, 1869, connecting Nevada to the rest of the United States by rail (Hayes 2007; Starr 2007; Green 2015:100–101). During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, branch or feeder railroad lines like the Virginia & Truckee, Tonopah & Tidewater, and NNR connected Nevada’s interior to the Transcontinental Railroad. Nearly every feeder line was built as the result of a new mining boom. Additionally, stage and wagon companies were formed to transport passengers and freight to the closest railroad connections (Bassett 2013; Green 2015:103–105). Following incorporation, the NNR hired Adolph Judell, a Southern Pacific engineer, to survey the route and E.E. Carpenter amended the route to finalize the plans (Bunse et al. 2007a). The route chosen by these surveyors began in eastern Ely, traveled north through the Copper Flat and Ruth mines, through Robinson Canyon, then Steptoe Valley to Omar where it connected with the Southern Pacific. Omar was later renamed Cobre (Spanish for copper) in honor of the discovery of the Ely copper lode. The entire mainline extended 140.99 miles and branch lines were extended to the Veteran and Ruth mines, as well as the McGill Ranch, where the copper processing plant was located, for a total of more than 150 miles. Now that Requa had a route he had to apply to Edward Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific, for consent to a railroad connection. Permission was granted as soon as Harriman realized the Nevada Northern was a feeder line and not a competitor (Elliott 1966:191; Bunse et al. 2007a; Bassett and Bassett 2011:7). On September 29, 1906, the NNR finally reached Ely, setting off a 2-day celebration. Using a spike forged from Ruth mine copper, Mark Requa drove the last spike in a ceremony mimicking the Golden Spike Ceremony of the Transcontinental Railroad. Regular passenger service between Ely and Cobre began on October 1 and freight service began on October 12. Most of the passengers on the first trains were Utah businessmen, indicating strong economic ties to Utah rather than western Nevada. At peak operation, 32 passenger trains traveled between Ely and Cobre every day and people were flocking to White Pine County (Elliott 1966:192; Bassett and Bassett 2011:8).

A month after completion of the line to Ely, the Guggenheim family outmaneuvered Requa and took over control of the Nevada Northern Railway Company. However, Requa was still a major shareholder so the Guggenheims appointed him as vice president of the railroad. The next steps were to build branch lines, freight warehouses, and a depot. The first branch line, constructed at the close of 1906, consisted of a 2.6-mile-long section of track connecting the mainline to the processing facilities at the McGill Ranch (Bunse et al. 2007a). The following year, two wood-frame freight buildings and a depot were constructed in eastern Ely, and the rail yards were expanded to include a concrete and brick engine house, machine shops, scales, and facilities for watering the engines (Golay 2000:71; Bassett and Bassett 2011:8). Work was also completed on a 10-mile-long extension of the mainline from Ely to the mines at Ruth, which required crews to tunnel through two mountains. In 1908 a branch line to the Veteran mines was completed, the 3-mile-long “Ore Line” branch around Ely, and the 8.6-mile-long “Hi-line” Branch to McGill with a 109foot-tall, double track trestle. These additional branch lines, known as the Smelter Branches, originally had 60-pound rails and were built to keep the industrial traffic out of Ely and increase transportation efficiency to the mill. At the time, the Hi-line trestle was reported to be the tallest in the world. Concurrent with the development of these branch lines, the Nevada Northern reduced fares for freight and passenger service to boost business and increase interest in the railway (The Sacramento Union 1908; Bunse et al. 2007a; Bassett and Bassett 2011:8). On April 12, 1908, mill operations at McGill began processing ore and nearly 20 miles of narrow-gauge tracks were laid in the mining pits for Dinky steam locomotives to shuttle ore to branch line cars. Work in the mines was progressing so rapidly that by May 1909, 100,000 tons of raw ore was being shuttled to the mill every month (Bassett and Bassett 2011:8–9). The Nevada Northern also built 29.6 miles of siding tracks along the line including the Glenn Siding, Mustanger Siding, and Cherry Creek Station (Bunse et al. 2007a). By this time, several initiatives arose attempting to connect to other boom areas of Nevada such as Tonopah and Goldfield to Ely. In 1909 the owners of the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad began the Goldfield-Ely Project, which was intended to provide a more direct route from Goldfield to Salt Lake City smelters. After the initial surveys were completed, the citizens and officials of Ely rejected a right-of-way request from the proposed railroad to connect to the Nevada Northern via Clark Street. Ely suggested an alternate route, but the project was ultimately shelved (Elliott 1966:195–196). The NNR was also a boon for cattle ranchers because they could now readily transport their stock without having to drive them long distances to Elko or Salt Lake City. A reduction in rates from 1910 to 1913 further aided the ranching industry and helped make Ely the regional center of the stock trade (Bunse et al. 2007a). By 1920 the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company began using its own engines for ore transport and the railroad became the principal means of transportation in White Pine County. There were dedicated shift trains for workers, school trains to take students from the hinterland to Ely, church trains, party trains, and even rabbit hunting trains. However, as the automobile continued to gain popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, passenger service declined. Shift trains ended in June 1938 and regular passenger service was discontinued 3 years later, but freight service was still viable and continued into the late 20th century (Bassett and Bassett

2011:9–10). Excursion passenger trains continued to operate between Cobre and East Ely until 1982 (Albrandt 2003). In 1948 diesel-electric engines were introduced on the railroad. The powerful locomotives proved that they could haul more at less cost than their counterparts, and by 1950, all steam operations on the line were replaced. Over the next decade, rail operations in the mining pits ended because of cost and unstable pit walls and the rails were upgraded. While rails were still being upgraded from 60-pound to 90-pounds, a process that began in the 1920s, all existing 90-pound rails on the mainline were to be replaced with 110pound rails. Many of the original wooden culverts were replaced with corrugated steel pipes around the same time. New branch lines were also built as new mines opened, and by the end of the 1950s, the Nevada Northern controlled 193 miles of track. After the decline of the copper industry during the 1970s, the mines closed in 1983. Without the mines, there was little need for the railroad, and on June 20, 1983, the last ore train left Ely (Bunse et al. 2007a; Bassett and Bassett 2011:10; Sean Pitts, personal communication 2021). The Lincoln Highway and Nevada Road Development
Prior to the 20th century, road systems consisted of poorly maintained trails and wagon routes with funds for maintenance being derived from right-of-way donations, local taxes, and statute labor. In sparsely populated rural areas these systems were not feasible as there were few residents to pay for road repairs or work on the roads in lieu of payment (Borger et al. 2020). Roads constructed of wood planks were used in areas throughout the western United States since the mid-19th century, but these were difficult and costly to maintain (Robinson 2005). In Nevada, some of the first local road systems were developed along the California Trial and Central Overland Routes with ancillary roads extending to towns and mining camps. During this time, Nevada was the least populated state in the nation, and therefore lacked the resources necessary to build new roads or maintain existing routes (Borger et al. 2020). In 1912, Carl Fisher, creator of the Indianapolis Speedway and Prest-O-Lite lighting systems for autos, devised what he called the Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway, which would be a graded gravel road costing approximately $10 million (Lincoln Highway Association 1935:9). Communities along the proposed route of the Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway would supply equipment in exchange for free materials and a place along the first transcontinental highway. Fisher wanted the highway completed in time for the PanamaPacific Exposition in 1915 and set to raising funds for the project through investments from the automobile industry and interested private citizens. He also began a letter writing campaign and invited automobile industrialists to invest and join the Rock Highway Association. He convinced Frank Seiberling of Goodyear and Henry Joy of the Packard Motor Company to invest, but he was unable to convince Henry Ford, who believed public taxes should pay for the road. Investments outside the automobile industry were on a subscription basis with annual dues. Henry Joy, who was a veteran roadway planner of several survey expeditions in the western United States, became the primary spokesman for the project. He suggested naming the highway after Abraham Lincoln and Fisher adopted the idea because it would give the highway patriotic appeal (Borger et al. 2020; Lincoln Highway Association 1935:9–45; Lin 1999).

On July 1, 1913, the Lincoln Highway Association was officially incorporated in Detroit and it began working on a route. Fisher went on a promotional tour and visited with various state governors to garner support. Every governor wanted the route to go through their state and to various attractions that would promote commerce. However, this was costly and Henry Joy, president of the association, favored the most direct route. After many cross-county trips and much deliberation, it was decided that the route would pass through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California, ending in Lincoln Park in San Francisco. From Geneva, Illinois, to Salt Lake City, Utah, the route would be built over the old Overland Trail, and from Salt Lake City it would follow sections of the Mormon Trail and the Central Overland Route (old Pony Express route) through Ely, Reno, Carson City, and Sacramento (Lincoln Highway Association 1935:45–54; Lin 1999; Weingroff 2017). The section of the Lincoln Highway between Salt Lake City and Reno became the first named transcontinental automobile route to form a continuous connection across northern Nevada. The route was not the most direct but was chosen because it avoided the salt flats in Utah and provided intermittent stops for water (Borger et al. 2020). In Nevada, while Fisher and Joy were working to get the Lincoln Highway project off the ground, Governor Tasker Oddie attempted to make road improvements. In 1911, he pushed a bill through the state legislature authorizing the use of prison labor to build highways, and the following year, a plan was developed for a Nevada State Highway from the border east of Ely into California. In 1913, Oddie helped another bill pass that allowed counties to issue bonds for road construction, and the Federal-Aid Road Act of 1916 provided matching federal funds incentivizing projects if states established highway agencies staffed with engineers. However, none of these early measures were successful because Nevada lacked the tax base and revenue flow to match any federal funds. Nevada had 12,182 miles of roads with the vast majority still consisting of rutted or rough unimproved earth (Borger et al. 2020; Bunse et al. 2007b; Green 2015:211–212; Weingroff 2017). Tired of delays, private entities like the Reno Commercial Club began working on improving the Lincoln Highway section between Reno and Ely in 1916 (Reno Evening Gazette 1916). By 1917, many of the Lincoln Highway sections in Nevada had been completed and the highway was widely used over the next few years. In the vicinity of Ely, the new road sections crosscut and/or replaced sections of old routes such as White Pine County Road 17, which once led to Bothwick (Botha Creek)10. It also replaced a portion of the Gleason Creek Road in Robinson Canyon, which provided access to several ranches in the Egan Range. The Lincoln Highway not only improved travel for local residents but also bolstered tourism, commerce, and commercial enterprise with the development of travels stops, restaurants, hotels, and other services. Great efforts were made to mark the route with enameled red, white, and blue markers labeled with an “L”; oversized replicas of Lincoln head pennies embedded on bridge piers; and concrete culverts marked with “Lincoln” and “Highway” in openwork letters on either side of the road (Nevada State Journal 1955).
10 Bothwick was a stage station during late 19th century, which developed into a small town after the turn of
the 20th century. During the 1940s all of the residents moved from the area and the town ceased to exist (Hall 1994:125). February 2022 | 196

Much of the marking in Nevada was completed by the California State Automobile Association and the Automobile Club of Southern California (Borger et al. 2020). In 1917, the Nevada Department of Highways was established to begin a building program for the Nevada State Highway System with number designations. The Lincoln Highway section between Reno and Ely was designated Route 2 and from Ely to the state line became part of Route 3 (Borger et al. 2020). The section between Ely and Salt Lake City, also known as the “Goodyear Cutoff,” was realigned to shorten the route by 50 miles. Nevada and Utah agreed to share costs on this project, but two years later, Utah backed out. Concurrently, the U.S. Army undertook its first transcontinental convoy on the Lincoln Highway departing Washington, D.C., on July 7, 1919, and arrived in San Francisco on September 5, 1919. The highly publicized trip was a success for the Lincoln Highway Association. It resulted in broken bridges and vehicles getting stuck in the mud along the way, which highlighted the need for continued Federal aid and influenced local municipalities to better maintain the highways. One of the most interesting facets of this convoy was that it included Lt. Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower who would later implement one of the nation’s most ambitious highway projects in the 1950s after he became President. His experiences during the 1919 convoy likely helped influence his support of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 (Bunse et al. 2007b; Weingroff 2017). In 1920, Tasker Oddie was elected to the U.S. Senate and championed the Federal Highway Act of 1921, helping Gail S. Hoag and B.L. Quayle (Nevada’s Lincoln Highway Consuls) continue work on Nevada’s highway sections. They waited on Utah to fulfill its contractual obligations, but Utah preferred the Wendover Route, which followed the Humboldt River through Nevada. Utah refused to move forward with the Goodyear Cutoff and officials in Ely were incensed at what they viewed as discrimination by Utah officials. An agreement was reached, but once again Utah reneged, and in 1922 they moved forward with the Wendover Route. Utah also improved the Arrowhead Trail to Los Angeles with aims on keeping motorists in Utah rather than using Nevada’s Midland Trail. The Arrowhead Trail roughly followed the route of modern-day Interstate 15 and the Midland Trail used the Goodyear Cutoff to Ely and then went southwest through Nevada to southern California (Elko Independent 1915; Lincoln Highway Association 1935:180–185; Lin 1999; Bunse et al. 2007b; Green 2015:214). In 1923, Nevada Governor James Scrugham, a former mining engineer, picked up where Oddie left off and implemented a $0.02 per gallon gasoline tax to fund road building. By 1926 Nevada was spending approximately $10 million per year on road construction with most of the funds going to the Lincoln Highway (Green 2015:214). A year earlier, the American Association of State Highway Officials began planning a federal highway system and abandoned the idea of named roads. The Lincoln Highway was divided into five separate highway sections with the Nevada portion being designated U.S. Highway 50. The Wendover Route was also completed in 1925, and by this time was part of the transcontinental Victory Highway, a competitor of the Lincoln Highway and predecessor of Interstate Highway 80. Despite persistent lobbying and promoting by the Lincoln Highway Association, the federal government chose the Victory Highway as the federal road and Utah’s section of the Goodyear Cutoff was never finished. The Lincoln Highway Association eventually adopted the Wendover Road as part of its official route, ending any February 2022 | 197

potential for a central Nevada transcontinental road (Lincoln Highway Association 1935; Lin 1999; Bunse et al. 2007b; Weingroff 2017). The Lincoln Highway Association stopped promoting the route in 1927 but managed to have the highway officially dedicated to Abraham Lincoln on September 1, 1928. Sections of the highway remained unimproved by the time of the dedication, but within the next 10 years, nearly the entire route would be paved. In 1930, the Oddie-Colton Act was passed, requiring the federal government to pay for all interstate highways that crossed public lands and Nevada completed an 80-mile-long segment of highway connecting Wendover to the original Lincoln Highway route. However, motorists generally preferred the Victory Highway through the region because it had lower grades. Nevertheless, the Oddie-Colton Act gave Nevada triple the funding it had for roads during the previous decade and the state upgraded its roads by grading and oiling or paving. The sections of the Lincoln Highway around Ely and McGill (U.S. Highway 50/93) were either oiled or untreated gravel, and in 1935, the section from Ely to Wendover was paved (Lincoln Highway Association 1935; Lin 1999; Bunse et al. 2007b; Green 2015:214; Weingroff 2017). In 1940, Nevada created a new parallel alignment for U.S. Highway 50/93 to the west of the original Lincoln Highway route in Steptoe Valley. The abandoned section of the Lincoln Highway became a county road and was never repaved. Highway 93, north of McGill, became a regularly maintained, two-lane, asphalt road along the original route (Lincoln Highway Association 1935; Lin 1999; Bunse et al. 2007b; Green 2015:214; Weingroff 2017). Concurrently, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in White Pine County began building truck trails for stockmen in Nevada grazing district No. 4. These new roads, some extending to or from the Lincoln Highway, were intended to improve range management and assist stockmen with reaching their sheep camps and range riders with supplies. Many of these truck trails, including the Jake’s Valley routes, were constructed by the Indian Springs CCC camp to help ranchers like John Uhalde at Gleason Creek maintain his 7,000 head of sheep (Reno Evening Gazette 1933, 1941). At the onset of World War II, US 50 was formally designated an alternate and secondary route in the strategic network of highways in Nevada. Between 1944 and 1946, a new alignment with a 32-foot bituminous surface between shoulders, and flat fill and cut slopes was constructed between McGill and Magnusen’s Ranch to the north in White Pine County. However, post-war development along Highway 50/93 was limited, especially after the Federal Highway Act of 1956 led to funding for a new Interstate Highway System (Borger et al. 2020).
3.10.1.7 Existing Information To gather existing, relevant, and reasonably available information regarding cultural resources in the Project vicinity, a records search was conducted in October 2020 and June 2021. The area researched included the study area for the Cultural Resources Study (described further below) and a 1-mile buffer around the study area. This records search included a review of records archived at the BLM Ely District Office and through the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office’s online Nevada Cultural Resources Information System (NVCRIS). The records reviewed include records of previously recorded cultural resources and previously conducted cultural resources investigations. The records search February 2022 | 198

also included review of historic maps of the area and the NRHP for NRHP-listed resources that are in the vicinity of the study area. The results of the records search are provided below and are organized into three parts: (1) previous cultural resources investigations, (2) previously identified cultural resources, and (3) potential historic resources identified from historic maps.
Previous Cultural Resources Investigations The records search identified 61 previous cultural resources investigations within 1 mile of the study area, of which 29 were located within the study area (Table 3.10-1). The investigations occurred between 1967 and 2017 and were conducted prior to a variety of different undertakings including utility and communication transmission line construction, airport expansion, proposed land sales, seismic line investigations, roadway improvements, and material pit locations. Approximately 10 percent of the study area appears to have been previously investigated by cultural resources studies.

Previously Recorded Resources The records search identified 395 previously recorded cultural resources within 1 mile of the study area (see Appendix C of the draft Cultural Resources Study report appended to this DLA as Appendix G). These 395 resources are dominated by lithic tool and debitage scatters, with occasional pottery, fire-affected rock (FAR), faunal remains, milling, groundstone, and hearth features as over 80 percent of previously recorded resources identified consist of precontact archaeological resources, represented by eight precontact archaeological isolates, 280 precontact archaeological sites, and precontact archaeological components of 35 multicomponent archaeological sites. Historic archaeological sites and resources consist primarily of refuse scatters but also a few roads, mining sites, and a ditch, represented by one historic archaeological isolate, 63 historic archaeological sites, and historic components of the same 35 multicomponent archaeological sites mentioned above. In addition, there are two utility lines categorized as built environment resources and one precontact isolate/ built environment resource consisting of a single biface and the NNR. Also included in the previously recorded cultural resources list are four resources identified in the NVCRIS search labeled “26WPbad no” or “Unknown” with no associated site form or identification, thus cultural/archaeological categorical information (precontact/historic/built environment) is unknown. Of the 395 resources, 28 have been determined eligible with NSHPO concurrence for listing in the NRHP, 257 have been determined ineligible with NSHPO concurrence, 23 are recommended eligible, 63 are recommended ineligible, and 24 are unevaluated (including the four unknown resources). A majority (96 percent) of resources determined or recommended eligible for the NRHP are represented by precontact archaeological resources.

Of the 395 previously recorded resources, 23 are within the study area, or about 6 percent of the overall count. A majority of these 23 resources are precontact archaeological resources, as there are 12 precontact archaeological sites, seven historic archaeological sites, two multicomponent archaeological sites, one precontact isolate/historic built environment resource, and one resource of unknown description within the study area. Of the 23 resources, four have been determined eligible with NSHPO concurrence for listing in the NRHP, 10 have been determined ineligible with NSHPO concurrence, four are recommended eligible, four are recommended ineligible, and the evaluation status of one resource is unknown. Of the eight resources determined and/or recommended eligible, seven are precontact archaeological resources. In addition to previously recorded resources identified in the records search, WPW has conducted separate geophysical/geotechnical investigations in support of the Project. Cultural resources investigations for these efforts were conducted in 2020 and 2021. Portions of the geophysical/geotechnical investigations’ survey area overlaps with the study area. A total of 21 archaeological resources were recorded during these investigations that fall within the study area (see Appendix C of the draft Cultural Resources Study report appended to this DLA as Appendix G). Of these 21 resources, eight are archaeological isolates: two precontact and six historic isolated finds; all of which are considered not eligible for listing in the NRHP. Of the archaeological sites, four are precontact and nine are historic sites. Of the archaeological sites, all are recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP.
Potential Historic Resources Identified on Historic Maps and Imagery Historic-period USGS topographic quadrangles and General Land Office (GLO) plats were reviewed during the records search to identify locations of potential historic-era sites and features within the study area and within 1 mile of the study area (Table 3.10-2). This resulted in the identification of over 50 locations where historic-period features may be present within or adjacent to the study area. These features include trails, roads, highways, transmission lines, telephone lines, prospects, mine shafts, corrals, railroads, and structures.

3.10.1.8 Preliminary Results of the Cultural Resources Study To assist FERC in identifying historic properties that may be affected by the Project, as required under Section 106 of the NHPA, WPW implemented the Cultural Resources Study. As part of the study, a comprehensive and intensive field survey of the study area was completed between June and July of 2021 in accordance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Identification (USDOI 1983), the NSHPO and Nevada BLM guidelines for field surveys, and the BLM’s Class III/intensive standards, per the BLM’s 8100 manual series. To date, though the field work has been completed, WPW is still in the process of analyzing the field data. WPW is currently working to complete the written documentation of resources identified as a result of the Cultural Resources Study and to evaluate those resources that can be evaluated for the NRHP at the inventory level. WPW is also still working to identify those resources that may be impacted by the Project. As such, the results presented below are preliminary and will be finalized in the FLA. Included below is a description of the study area and summaries of the archaeological and built environment resources that were identified as a result of the field survey of the study area. A draft Cultural Resources Study report presenting these preliminary results is appended to this DLA as Appendix G. The report is confidential and will be filed in FERC’s privileged files and made available as appropriate to Section 106 consulting parties (potentially affected tribes, the BLM, NSHPO, and other interested parties) for review.
Study Area The study area was initially defined in the Cultural Resources Study plan and has since been updated to reflect a refinement of the Project design (see study area maps in Appendix G). However, since the study area was redefined for this study, the Project February 2022 | 206

design has been further refined. Accordingly, the study area does not currently match the Conceptual Project Boundary and there are portions of the proposed Project that are outside the study area. Any areas in the Conceptual Project Boundary not covered by the study area will be surveyed at a later date for consideration of historic properties. The study area covers the majority of the Conceptual Project Boundary and includes the locations of most of the Project facilities, including the proposed Project reservoirs. The study area is located between the City of Ely, Nevada, and McGill, Nevada, straddling each side of the Duck Creek Range and stretching west for roughly 20 miles through Steptoe Valley and Smith Valley, over the Egan Range, and into Jakes Valley. The legal description of the study area is as follows: •
T17N, R65E – W1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 7, W1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 18.
•
T17N,R64E – W1/2 of Section 4, S1/2 of the SE1/4 of Section 8, S1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 8, W1/2 of Section 9, SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 11, S1/2 of Section 12, N1/2 of Section 13, N1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 13, all 1/4s of Section 14, all 1/4s of Section 15, all 1/4s of Section 16, all 1/4s of Section 17, N1/2 and SE1/4 of Section 18, S1/2 of the NW1/4 of Section 18, W1/2 of the NE1/4 of Section 20, E1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 20, and N1/2 of the NE1/4 of Section 22.

•
T17N, R62E – SE1/4 and NW1/4 of Section 1.
•
T18N, R62E – S1/2 of Section 28, N1/2 of Section 29, N1/2 of Section 30, N1/2 of Section 34, and S1/2 of Section 35.
•
T18N, R61E – all 1/4s of Section 19, S1/2 and NW1/4 of Section 20, S1/2 of Section 21, S1/2 of Section 22, S1/2 of Section 23, N1/2 of Section 25, NE1/4 of Section 26, W1/2 of Section 30, and W1/2 of Section 31.
•
T17N, R60E – E1/2 and SW1/4 of Section 1 and NW1/4 of Section 12.
The study area was proposed as the APE for Section 106 purposes. However, due to the changes to the Conceptual Project Boundary, the study area is no longer proposed as the APE. The footprint of the APE will be submitted to the NSHPO for review and concurrence.
Cultural Resources Identified The Class III cultural resources inventory of the study area resulted in the identification of 83 isolated archaeological finds, 134 archaeological sites, and two historic built environment resources (Table 3.10-3). Of note, the two historic built environment resources also constitute two of the archaeological sites. These two resources include both built environment and archaeological components, so they are identified as both types of resources. These two resources are the Lincoln Highway and the NNR. HDR is still

working on processing the field data from this inventory, so the summary provided herein should be considered preliminary only and subject to change. Of the 83 isolated finds, 43 are precontact with all but one (a possible rock shelter) consisting of modified flakes, projectile points, or shatter. There are 39 historic-era isolated finds, mostly represented by various metal and glass items/fragments, and one isolated find – a hunting blind – is of unknown association 11. Of the 135 archaeological sites identified, 64 are precontact archaeological sites represented by lithic scatters with lithic tools and debitage; 55 are historic archaeological sites representing short-term habitation, transportation (road segments), trash scatters and dumping (cans, other metal, glass), utility lines, and water control features; and 14 archaeological sites are multi-component and have both precontact and historic components. The one remaining archaeological site is of unknown type as this is a previously recorded site within the study area that could not be relocated and for which there is no previous record available. Of the 219 cultural resources identified within the study area, 31 were previously recorded, of which 11 are precontact archaeological sites, 15 are historic archaeological sites, four are multi-component archaeological sites, and one resource of unknown affiliation. Of these 31 resources, four have been determined eligible with NSHPO concurrence for listing in the NRHP, 10 have been determined not eligible with NSHPO concurrence, four are recommended eligible, 12 are recommended not eligible, and the evaluation status of one resource is unknown. Evaluations for eligibility for inclusion in the NRHP have not yet been made for any resource updates or newly recorded cultural resources to date.

Environmental Effects – Cultural Resources Project construction, operation, and maintenance may have an effect on historic properties. Types of effects may include direct (i.e., the result of Project activities at the same time and place with no intervening cause), indirect (i.e., the result of Project activities later in time or further removed in distance but reasonably foreseeable), and/or cumulative (e.g., caused by a Project activity in combination with other non-Project past, present, and foreseeable future activities) (ACHP 2019). Section 106 of the NHPA requires lead federal agencies to consider direct, indirect, and cumulative adverse effects of their undertakings on historic properties. In this case, the undertaking is FERC’s issuance of a license for the Project. 36 CFR §800.5(a)(1) states that: An adverse effect is found when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association. Consideration shall be given to all qualifying characteristics of a historic property, including those that may have been identified subsequent to the original evaluation of the property’s eligibility for the National Register. Adverse effects may include reasonably foreseeable effects caused by the undertaking that may occur later in time, be farther removed in distance or be cumulative. The Cultural Resources Study is ongoing and will include documenting existing conditions and potential Project effects on historic properties. If assessment of Project effects is not feasible as part of the study, a future assessment of effects will be provided for.

Cumulative Environmental Effects Related to Cultural Resources The issue of cumulative effects will be revisited in the FLA.

Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW distributed its proposed resource study plans for the Project on March 10, 2021, including the Cultural Resources Study plan; responses to stakeholder comments as well as WPW’s Record of Consultation are provided as Appendix A. Section 106 of the NHPA requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and to provide the ACHP a reasonable opportunity to comment. In addition, Federal agencies are required to consult on the Section 106 process with SHPO, Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, Indian Tribes (to include Alaska Natives) [Tribes] and Native Hawaiian Organizations, other cooperating agencies, and interested parties. As specified under 36 CFR §800.16(f): “Consultation means the process of seeking, discussing, and considering the views of other participants and where feasible, seeking agreement with them regarding matters arising in the section 106 process.” Consultation and coordination throughout the entire Section 106 process conducted for FERC licensing of the Project is a key objective of WPW.
3.10.4.1 Potentially Affected Tribes As part of the license application process, WPW requested and was granted designation as FERC’s non-federal representative for carrying out informal consultation pursuant to Section 106 12. As such, WPW conducted informal consultation with Section 106 consulting parties throughout study implementation, including with the Confederated Tribes of Goshute Reservation, Duckwater Shoshone Tribe, Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada, TeMoak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians, the BLM, the NSHPO, the City of Ely, White Pine County, and the NNR 13. As part of its responsibilities under NHPA, FERC emailed letters on August 11, 2020, to each of the potentially interested tribes listed above, providing a brief description of the Project and an invitation to meet with FERC staff to discuss issues of concern. An early coordination meeting between WPW’s contractor HDR and the Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada was arranged and held at the tribal office on October 24, 2020. Representatives of HDR met with a representative of the Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada to discuss the overall Project. During this meeting, the Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada representative identified concerns to include the possibility of Native Plant Gathering Areas within the Project area, the tribe’s desire for field monitors onsite for upcoming fieldwork activities, and a wildlife study completed for the Project to specifically include elk. As follow12 FERC document accession # 20200713-3032, filed 07/13/2020.
13 In the PAD, WPW identified 25 Indian tribes with potential cultural affiliation to the Project vicinity.
However, following issuance of the PAD, WPW refined this list to include only those Indian tribes with traditional cultural territories that may overlap with the Project vicinity: Confederated Tribes of Goshute Reservation, Duckwater Shoshone Tribe, Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada, and Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians.

up to the early coordination meeting, HDR provided a map of the Project vicinity, the Project location, the Project NOI and PAD, and an overview of FERC licensing processes. Letters of informal consultation were sent via standard mail and email by HDR on behalf of WPW on May 19, 2021, to the Confederated Tribes of Goshute Reservation, Duckwater Shoshone Tribe, Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada, and Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians. These letters provided a brief summary of the Project, a map of the Conceptual Project Boundary, and an initially proposed APE. These letters also requested comments or concerns, and/or information relevant to the Project, and welcomed any recommendations regarding appropriate management or treatment of cultural resources that may occur within the Project area. The letters also provided notification of the upcoming field effort related to the Cultural Resources Study. The Chairwoman of the Ely Shoshone Tribe provided a response to this initial letter, dated June 4, 2021, indicating interest in consultation for this Project. The tribe expressed concern about the location of the Project, with specific concern for native plant gathering areas, hunting use, and the surrounding environment. The Chairwoman requested a site visit and designated a point of contact for the tribe. Subsequently, a site visit of the proposed upper and lower reservoir locations was held on September 10, 2021, with representatives from the Ely Shoshone Tribe, WPW, and HDR. No other responses to the letter dated May 19, 2021, have been received to date. Additional informal consultation and coordination with participating tribes and agencies will continue by providing the Cultural Resources Study report to participating tribes and agencies for review. All written comments received will be considered and addressed as appropriate. Following tribal/agency review, and once concerns and comments are addressed, the report will be provided to the NSHPO for review and concurrence. Following the NSHPO’s review and concurrence, if there are no additional concerns to be addressed, this report will be filed with FERC in its privileged/confidential files. In addition to coordination related to the study, WPW will consult with participating tribes and agencies, including NSHPO, on the development of an HPMP, if one is warranted. WPW plans to follow the Guidelines for the Development of Historic Properties Management Plans for FERC Hydroelectric Projects issued by FERC and ACHP in 2002 (FERC and ACHP 2002), as appropriate.
3.10.4.2 Nevada SHPO In a letter dated May 14, 2021, HDR, on behalf of WPW, submitted maps depicting the proposed APE to the NSHPO for review, comment, and concurrence, and to initiate informal consultation. The letter package included a description of the proposed APE, Project location maps, the NOI and PAD, and copies of the consultation letters dated August 11, 2020, from FERC to potentially interested tribes. The NSHPO responded with a letter dated June 9, 2021, acknowledging that FERC remains responsible for all formal findings and determinations. In response to the review of the proposed APE, NSHPO agreed that the buffer area should be adequate to account for direct physical effects resulting from the undertaking; however, they may not be sufficient to account for visual, atmospheric, audible, and cumulative effects of the undertaking. Thus, the NSHPO was unable to conclude its review and comment on the APE. The NSHPO requested that HDR, February 2022 | 211

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
on behalf of WPW, provide a revised APE that accounts for all direct visual, atmospheric, audible, and cumulative effects as well as the direct physical effects already discussed. The NSHPO also noted that the documentation of visual simulations along with photographs of current conditions in all areas of the proposed undertaking would serve as valuable tools to document the APE in a future submission to the NSHPO. Due to the modifications to the Conceptual Project Boundary, discussed above in Section 3.10.1 Affected Cultural Resources Environment, the study area is no longer proposed as the APE. The footprint of the APE is currently being reassessed and will be submitted to the NSHPO for review and concurrence. The study report will be provided to NSHPO for review and concurrence including concurrence on any NRHP eligibility evaluations.
3.10.4.3 Applicant Recommendations WPW may develop an HPMP in consultation with the Section 106 consulting parties to manage potential effects on historic properties throughout the term of any new FERC license. FERC typically completes Section 106 by entering into a Programmatic Agreement (PA) or Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the licensee, the ACHP, if they choose to participate, and the SHPO that requires the licensee to develop and implement an HPMP. Additionally, FERC requires the licensee to consult with various federal, state, tribal, and non-government parties in the development of any HPMP. The purpose of an HPMP is to outline actions and processes to manage historic properties within the APE under the FERC license. It would serve as a guide for the licensee’s construction and operating personnel when performing Project construction or O&M activities and identify resource treatments designed to address potential ongoing and future effects to historic properties. An HPMP could also describe a process of consultation with appropriate state and federal agencies, as well as with Native American tribes who may have interests in historic properties within the APE. Following the Guidelines for the Development of Historic Properties Management Plans for FERC Hydroelectric Projects issued by FERC and ACHP in 2002 (FERC and ACHP 2002), an HPMP would include management measures; training for all construction and O&M staff; routine monitoring of known cultural resources, and periodic review and revision of the HPMP.

Aesthetic Resources The BLM is responsible for managing public lands for multiple use and ensuring scenic values of public lands are considered before authorizing uses that may have negative visual impacts. The BLM uses the Visual Resource Management (VRM) system to inventory scenic values through different categories to establish management objectives. The VRM system is a tool for the BLM to objectively measure the scenic value of the visual resources in an area (BLM undated-c). The BLM designates VRM classes for all areas of BLM-administered lands to manage public lands in a manner which will protect the quality of the scenic and visual value of the land. The VRM classes are based on an inventory of three key elements: 1) scenic quality, 2) sensitivity level, and 3) distance zones (BLM 1984). There are four objectives for VRM

classes (Classes I through IV), with Class I being the most conservative of the visual resources (BLM 1986) as shown in Table 3.11-1.
Table 3.11-1. BLM VRM Classes Objective
Description
Class I
Preserve the existing character of the landscape. This class provides for natural ecological changes; however, it does not preclude very limited management activity. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be very low and must not attract attention.
Class II
Retain the existing character of the landscape. The level of change to the characteristic landscape should be low, with management activities seen but not attracted by the casual observer. Any changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, and texture found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape.
Class III
Provide for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. The level of change should be moderate, management activities may attract attention but should not dominate the view. Changes should repeat basic elements found in the predominant natural features of the characteristic landscape.
Class IV
Provide for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. The level of change can be high with management activities allowed to dominate the view and be the major focus. However, attempts should be made to minimize the impact of these activities through careful location, minimal disturbance, and repeating the basic elements.

The White Pine County Land Use Plan recognizes the importance of the natural landscapes, with Policy 2-2 which states: “Protect and preserve the quality of the environment, and economic, cultural, ecological, scenic, historical and archaeological values; protect and preserve wildlife habitat values compatible with economic opportunities needed to provide for long term benefits for the people of White Pine County now, and future generations.” (White Pine County 2008).
3.11.1
Affected Aesthetic Environment The Project is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, in a setting that is characteristic of Nevada’s topography. The surrounding areas consist of flat valleys, rolling foothills, and pyramidal mountains allowing the user a wide and far range of views. The surrounding areas are generally undisturbed except for minor infrastructure such as power lines, paved and dirt roads, ranch land, and the City of Ely and the Town of Ruth (BLM 2016). However, the south end of the valley where the proposed Project will be located contains the most development (BLM 2008b). The goal of the Ely District RMP is to manage public lands and activities in a manner consistent with the BLM Ely District Office visual resource management class objectives. The objective of the RMP is to implement multiple use activities within the planning area with mitigation measures consistent with the visual resource management classes.

The Conceptual Project Boundary property is generally managed by the BLM. Based on the Ely District RMP (BLM 2008b), the Conceptual Project Boundary lies within Class II, Class III, and Class IV lands. The BLM’s scenic inventory maps are included in Appendix H. The upper reservoir is in a Class II area. Both the lower reservoir and switchyard are in a Class III area. The transmission line crosses through Class II, Class III, and Class IV lands. There are no VRM Class I lands within the Conceptual Project Boundary (BLM undated-c). Lands potentially affected by Project construction, operation, and maintenance are largely undeveloped.
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study No formal studies documenting existing aesthetic or visual resource conditions are known to exist for the study area. WPW, therefore, performed a visual and aesthetic resources study in 2021 to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities and identify consistency with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions and with other relevant guidance as determined through consultation. The 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study report is included in Appendix H. The study area was defined as all lands anticipated to be affected by Project construction and operation, and areas within a 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-mile buffer surrounding the Conceptual Project Boundary, as shown in Appendix H. The study used GIS and site topography to: •
Establish baseline conditions for visibility using binary (visible/not visible) technique;
•
Qualify or disqualify potential Key Observation Points (KOPs); and
•
Cross-validate two-dimensional (2D) photosimulations, three-dimensional (3D) models, or other deliverables that are by-product derivatives of the analysis.
From the results of the viewshed analysis, KOPs were reviewed and selected where potential visual impacts may occur. Input from stakeholders and agencies was considered in the selection of KOPs. WPW identified 10 representative KOPs for critical viewing locations of the proposed Project facilities. Using these KOPs, WPW developed photosimulations of proposed Project facilities. The visual conditions and scenic integrity of the photosimulations were assessed in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing. WPW described the impacts to the existing visual quality by analyzing and explaining if changes to the visual resources of the natural environments are compatible or incompatible with existing visual resources by land type. On BLM land, WPW also analyzed if the existing visual condition is compatible with the Scenic Integrity Objectives (i.e., high, moderate, low, or very low) for the area. WPW has determined the degree of impact of Project facilities and whether the impact is adverse, beneficial, or neutral. On BLM lands, WPW has determined the scenic integrity level using the scenic integrity scale (i.e., very high, high, moderate, low, very low, and unacceptably low). WPW

has also identified any potential modifications to the Project facilities to comply with existing visual setting and direction.
3.11.2
Environmental Effects – Aesthetic Resources This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on aesthetic resources. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on aesthetic resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section.
3.11.2.1 Key Observation Points (KOPs) As described above, 10 KOPs were identified to provide representative views of existing conditions and depict changes from the Project. Unless otherwise noted below, KOPs are located on BLM-administered lands. The 10 identified KOPs are shown in Figure 3.11-1 and described below. A photograph from each KOP is included in Appendix H.
3.11.2.2 KOP 1: Highway 93 & State Route 486 KOP 1 is located just east of the intersection of Highway 93 and State Route 486, near a directional kiosk for travelers along State Route 486. This KOP is approximately 9 miles north/northeast of the Project. Highway 93 is a state-designated scenic byway. From this valley position of low elevation, unobstructed background views of the Project area, Schell Creek Range, and the surrounding desert landscape are present. The view represented by this KOP is typical of this desert region. Highway 93 and a barbed-wire fence-line are visible. KOP 1 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include travelers, recreationists, and residents.
3.11.2.3 KOP 2: County Road 28 KOP 2 is located along County Road 28 and is approximately 5 miles northwest of the Conceptual Project Boundary. This location is in the foothills of the Egan Range and was selected to be representative of views from the nearby BLM Bristlecone Wilderness. From this mid-elevation position across the Steptoe Valley, unobstructed middle-ground views of the Project area, Schell Creek Range, and agricultural land within the valley are present. The view represented by this KOP is typical of this desert region. KOP 2 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include recreationists, residents and workers, and travelers.
3.11.2.4 KOP 3: Highway 93 & 347th North KOP 3 is located just west of the intersection of Highway 93 and 347th North and is approximately 0.5 mile north of the Project. Highway 93 is a state-designated scenic byway. From this valley position of low elevation, relatively unobstructed foreground views of the Project area, Schell Creek Range, and the surrounding desert landscape are present. The view represented by this KOP is typical of this desert region, with Highway

93 and an existing transmission corridor as prominent foreground features. KOP 3 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include travelers, residents, and workers.
3.11.2.5 KOP 4: Nevada Northern Railway KOP 4 is located along the NNR HiLine tracks, approximately 1.3 miles south/southwest of the Project. From this valley position of relatively low elevation, partial foreground views of the Project area and Schell Creek Range are present. There is a small hill blocking views of Highway 93 to the west. The view represented is typical of the visual experience traveling northeast from Ely along the NNR HiLine within this scrub-shrub desert landscape, with the railroad tracks being the only prominent introduced feature visible from this location. KOP 4 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include passengers on the trains and workers of the NNR.
3.11.2.6 KOP 5: NNR Star Platform KOP 5 is located along the NNR tracks, at the Star Platform for the Star Train, approximately 3.3 miles south/southwest of the Project. From this low elevation, unobstructed middle-ground views are present of the Project area. Light from nearby developments, including the Town of McGill, can been seen in the middle-ground and background; however, nighttime sky views are of high quality in this location. KOP 5 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include passengers on the trains and workers of the NNR. Based on recreational use and stakeholder comments received on the study plan, a nighttime view of this KOP is presented in Appendix H for review and analysis. Daytime views of the NNR train are represented through KOP 4 and KOP 6.
3.11.2.7 KOP 6: Train near NNR Museum KOP 6 is along the NNR tracks, near the NNR Museum in the City of Ely, approximately 6.3 miles southwest of the Project. This view is representative of NNR trains traveling from Ely and was taken from the train after leaving the museum station. KOP 6 is located on the NNR rail line. From this valley position of low elevation, background views of the Project area, Schell Creek Range, and foreground to middle-ground views of agricultural and recreational activities (golf course) are present. The view represented is typical of the visual experience in and around the City of Ely, with interior valley views which open to background mountain views. KOP 6 is within a Class III VRM. Viewer groups include passengers on the trains and workers of the NNR and representative views from the City of Ely.
3.11.2.8 KOP 7: Saxton Peak KOP 7 is located near the top of Saxton Peak, along a publicly accessible road, approximately 9.2 miles southwest of the Project. Saxton Peak is less than 1.5 miles from the City of Ely in an area with off-road vehicle and mountain bike use but is little used as purely a viewpoint. From this high elevation, views of the Egan Range and City of Ely in the foreground to middle-ground dominate the view. Project area views are in the background, at the foothills of the Schell Creek Range across the valley. This view is representative of nearby mountain peaks and provides a range from more urban city views

to scenic valley and mountain views. KOP 7 is within a Class II VRM. Viewer groups include recreationists.
3.11.2.9 KOP 8: Rib Hill KOP 8 is located at the top of Rib Hill, along a publicly accessible road, approximately 12.4 miles southwest of the Project. Rib Hill is about 5.5 miles west of the City of Ely and experiences recreational use from hikers, off-road vehicle users, and mountain bikers, but is little used as purely a viewpoint. From this high elevation, foreground views of the Robinson Mine and background views of the Project area and Schell Creek Range are present. This view is typical of nearby mountain peaks and provides a high contrast in views from the heavily modified mine to more distant scenic mountain views. KOP 8 is within a Class II VRM. Viewer groups include recreationists.
3.11.2.10 KOP 9: Highway 50 KOP 9 is located along Highway 50, past mile marker 50 eastbound, and is 0.2 mile north of the proposed transmission line aerial crossing of the highway. Highway 50 is a statedesignated scenic byway (also known as “America’s Loneliest Highway”) and is one of only a few major routes through eastern Nevada (BLM 2011). From this relatively high elevation, foreground views of the Project transmission line and the existing transmission lines with H-frame poles are present, along with middle-ground vegetated mountain views. This view is typical of the visual experience traveling to Ely along Highway 50, with the roadway and other introduced features (transmission line infrastructure and fencing) contrasting with more scenic mountain views. Existing transmission poles (H-frames) and wires are visible, along with an aerial crossing of the highway. KOP 9 is within a Class III/Class IV VRM. Viewer groups include travelers and residents and workers.
3.11.2.11 KOP 10: State Route 486 KOP 10 is located off State Route 486/County Road 29 and is 2.5 miles east of the Project. State Route 486 passes through valleys and canyons, is near both BLM- and USFSmanaged lands, and is a main travel route for sightseeing, outdoor recreation, hunting, and camping in the study area (BLM 2011). This KOP is located on a road that traverses private land. From this high elevation, foreground to middle-ground views of vegetated hills and the Project area are visible, with more distant mountain peaks in the background. A dirt road which connects to State Route 486 (marked by overhead power lines) is also visible in the foreground. This view is typical of the visual experience traveling along State Route 486, with varying vegetation along rolling hills. KOP 10 is within a Class II VRM. Viewer groups include recreationists, residents, and travelers.

3.11.2.12 Construction and Operational Impacts For the purposes of this analysis, the effects of Project construction and operation on visual and aesthetic resources in the study area were assessed based on a comparison of predicted change caused by the Project with the scenic quality inventory of the study area. The results are based on consideration of existing scenic quality rating/scores, existing landscape character, presence or absence of introduced features (roadways, transmission lines, fences, agriculture, etc.), and the potential effect of the Project as either a new or additional cultural modification. Construction activities will create short-term visual and aesthetic impacts associated with activities, including the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel; construction staging and laydown areas; and vegetation clearing. Operations will create visual and aesthetic impacts from above-ground Project features, including the upper and lower reservoirs, switchyard, and transmission line. Photosimulations of each KOP are presented in Appendix H. Additional information is presented by KOP as follows.
3.11.2.13 KOP 1: Highway 93 & State Route 486 During construction, daytime Project activities will be imperceptible from KOP 1 due to the approximate 9-mile distance from the Project. Workers may result in temporary increases in traffic along Highway 93, but it is already a highly traveled route and as such, impacts would be negligible from a visual impact perspective. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from the nearby town and developments along Highway 93. Based on the photosimulation, the lower reservoir, switchyard, and transmission line are imperceptible from this distance for the viewer. The lower reservoir is designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be made of local materials and follows the line of the mountain foothills. The color of the lower reservoir is designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be made of local materials and to not create contrast. Texture is consistent with the surrounding desert landscape. The switchyard and transmission line crossing the valley are in the background and imperceptible to the viewer. As no contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
3.11.2.14 KOP 2: County Road 28 During construction, Project activities will be visible, but due to the approximately 5-mile distance, activities will appear as weak contrast and not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from the nearby town and developments within the valley. As shown in the photosimulation of KOP 2, the lower reservoir is visible near the center of the figure and in this simulation appears as a horizontal line/low rectangular landform along the base of the foothills. Color blends in well with the surrounding area, appearing as slightly grey when compared to the tan desert; contrast is weak. Texture is consistent with February 2022 | 219

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
the surrounding landscape. The switchyard is imperceptible due to its small size and proximity to other existing development in the valley. The transmission structures are visible along a horizontal line but are within and parallel to an existing transmission line corridor with other H-frame structures. The transmission line does not draw more attention than the existing transmission line. As weak contrast will occur, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
3.11.2.15 KOP 3: Highway 93 & 347th North During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short-term impacts from the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel and construction staging and laydown areas. As most users from this location are travelers along Highway 93, a major travel route, and will have brief glances of the construction, a moderate contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments within the valley. The lower reservoir is visible in the foreground of the KOP 3 photosimulation and appears as a strong horizontal landform along the base of the foothills, visible into the desert. The straight lines of the lower reservoir are bold when compared to the rolling foothills and valley floor in the surrounding landscape. The gray color of the lower reservoir is consistent with the exposed rock of the mountains but contrasts with the darker browns and greens of the area surrounding the reservoir. The texture is smooth, while the surrounding landscape is coarser. Although views from Highway 93 are of short duration, due to the proximity to the Project, a strong contrast will occur, which does not meet VRM Class III management objectives.
3.11.2.16 KOP 4: Nevada Northern Railway During construction, Project activities will be visible, but due to the approximately 1.3-mile distance and topography that provides only partial views, will appear as a weak contrast and not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments within the valley. As shown in the photosimulation of KOP 4, the lower reservoir is imperceptible from this KOP. In this simulation, the color of the lower reservoir has been designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be made of local materials and does not create contrast with the lighter colored foothills. Texture is consistent with the surrounding desert landscape. As no contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
3.11.2.17 KOP 5: NNR Star Platform During construction, Project activities will be nearly imperceptible from KOP 5 due to the approximate 3.3-mile distance from the Project. No contrast to weak contrast may occur and will not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments within the valley. A daytime photosimulation of KOP 5 is depicted in Figure 17 in Appendix H for analysis purposes. The lower reservoir, switchyard, and transmission line are hard to discern from February 2022 | 220

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
this distance. In this simulation, the lower reservoir follows the line of the mountain foothills and blends in with the surrounding desert landscape. The transmission line follows an existing transmission corridor that already contains large H-frame structures, and the proposed H-frame poles add little additional visual impacts beyond the existing modifications. As weak contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met. Exterior lighting at the Project is proposed to be minimal and would consist of safety lighting. Such lighting will be the minimum necessary for safety and operations during emergencies and will be designed per mitigation measures developed by WPW in consultation with affected and interested stakeholders. Due to presence of existing light pollution visible as shown in Figure 7 in Exhibit H, Project lighting will be minimal, and weak to moderate contrast will occur, meeting VRM Class III management objectives.
3.11.2.18 KOP 6: Train near NNR Museum During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible from KOP 6 due to the approximate 6.3-mile distance from the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments in the foreground-middle-ground and in the valley in the background. A small portion of the upper reservoir is visible in the photosimulation of KOP 6 near the center of the figure, along the ridgeline, and the lower reservoir and transmission line are also visible but hard to discern from this distance from the surrounding area. The upper reservoir is tan compared with the green-blue ridgeline, but due to its small scale from this distance is not noticeable and does not attract attention. The lower reservoir appears as a lighter colored gray compared with the slightly darker foothills, but again at this distance it does not attract attention. The transmission corridor is within an existing transmission corridor and blends in with other power infrastructure visible. As no contrast to weak contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
3.11.2.19 KOP 7: Saxton Peak During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible from KOP 7 due to the approximate 9.2-mile distance from the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments in the foreground-middle-ground and in the valley in the background. The upper reservoir is visible in the photosimulation of KOP 7 along the second-highest ridgeline, in the background. Although on a vegetated ridgeline which appears green-gray, the upper reservoir’s light gray-tan color matches exposed rock faces along the ridgeline and, thus, blends in. At this distance, form and texture are hard to discern. The City of Ely and dramatic mountain ranges dominate the view, and the upper reservoir is imperceptible with the naked eye and does not draw any attention. As no contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class II management objectives will be met.

3.11.2.20 KOP 8: Rib Hill During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible from KOP 8 due to the approximate 12.4-mile distance from the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present from other developments in the foreground-middle-ground and in the valley in the background. As shown in the photosimulation of KOP 8, the lower reservoir and water surface of the upper reservoir are visible but hard to discern at this distance. The lower reservoir appears in this simulation as a small rectangular form at the base of the range, on the valley edge. The size of the reservoir is larger than other developments in the valley. Texture and color are consistent with the surrounding landscape. A small sliver of the upper reservoir’s water surface is visible in this simulation at the top of the second ridgeline, and contrasts with the surrounding green-gray range; however, from this distance it appears as no contrast to weak contrast and the water level will fluctuate during operation of the Project. Due to existing mining operations that dominate the view towards the Project, this viewpoint is already highly modified, and the Project facilities will not draw attention. The transmission line is imperceptible from this KOP. As no to weak contrast will occur from this KOP, VRM Class II management objectives will be met.
3.11.2.21 KOP 9: Highway 50 During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short-term impacts from the presence and visibility of transmission construction equipment, materials, and personnel. As most users from this location are travelers along Highway 50, a major travel route, and will have brief glances of the construction, a moderate contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is otherwise only present from vehicles (no visible developments producing light). The transmission H-frame poles and wires are visible in the photosimulation of KOP 9 and parallel the existing aerial crossing of Highway 50. The transmission different-frame poles are the same pole type as existing poles, providing consistency in transmission features and keeping with the rural nature of the area. As views from Highway 50 are of short duration for travelers, and due to the presence of existing transmission lines parallel to the proposed transmission line, a low contrast will occur, meeting VRM Class III and IV management objectives.
3.11.2.22 KOP 10: State Route 486 During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short-term impacts from the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel; traffic increases along State Route 486; and construction staging and laydown areas. As most users from this location are travelers along State Route 486, and will have brief glances of the construction activities, a strong contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is otherwise only present from vehicles (no visible developments producing light).

As shown in the photosimulation of KOP 10, the upper reservoir is visible along the ridgeline and appears as an unnatural straight line when compared with the rolling hills of the ridgeline. The tan color of the reservoir blends in with the surrounding unvegetated ridgeline. The texture is smooth, consistent with the surrounding unvegetated landscape; coarseness from existing vegetation is present and adds interest. Although views from Highway 486 are typically of short duration, they have a high scenic value for travelers; therefore, a moderate contrast will occur, which does not meet VRM Class II management objectives. The access road to the upper reservoir is not designed at this time, but once the location is known, additional simulation may be needed if the access road is visible from this KOP.

Socioeconomic Resources
3.12.1
Affected Socioeconomic Environment The proposed Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely, which is the largest city in northern Nevada and the county seat. White Pine County has historically been one of the principal mining centers of the state, producing gold, silver, and copper. The county’s economy has also historically depended on agriculture, tourism, and recreation (BLM 2008). The economy of White Pine County has ebbed and flowed directly with mining operations in the community. The City of Ely was founded as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Route. Today, the community focus is to promote recreational opportunities, renovate and reinstate the rail freight service, support energy development and metal fabrication, and increase the community’s ability to meet the needs for second and/or retirement homes (White Pine County 2012). Common state-wide economic issues that are also experienced in White Pine County include a lack of growth, lack of workforce housing, lack of contractor availability, high construction costs, and lack of available workforce for new employment opportunities (White Pine County 2020). White Pine County’s broad goals for economic development include the following: 1. Countywide awareness and strategic thinking and planning to secure federal, state, and private funding for economic development projects that benefit the entire county; 2. Develop short-term strategies for housing to overcome hurdles in workforce development. Housing needed to attract business development and increase tax base; and 3. Promotion of new businesses and growing existing businesses (White Pine County 2020). WPW conducted a Socioeconomic Study to categorize the economic and social impacts of the construction and operation of the Project at the local and state level (Appendix I). The analysis aims to highlight the ways in which the Project may impact the surrounding communities and people and to comment on the extent to which these communities may be able to accommodate Project needs and take advantage of the opportunities that it would offer. This report is discussed throughout the following section.
3.12.1.1 Populations and Households White Pine County has an estimated population of approximately 10,000, encompassing 8,897 square miles and a population density of approximately 1.1 persons per square mile Comparatively, the State of Nevada has a population density of approximately 24.6 February 2022 | 224
Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Draft License Application – Exhibit E White Pine Pumped Storage Project
persons per square mile, which makes White Pine County one of the more sparsely populated counties in the state. White Pine County’s population accounts for 0.34 percent of the population of Nevada. The 2010 census reported the population of the City of Ely to be 4,255, which accounts for approximately 42 percent of the County’s population. Between 2014 and 2019, the population in White Pine County declined by 455 individuals, 4.5 percent in total, or 0.9 percent annually on average (Nevada Department of Taxation 2018). The population of White Pine County is 42 percent female and 58 percent male, with 18 percent of people over the age of 65; 57 percent of people between 18 and 65; and 25 percent under the age of 18. White Pine County is generally consistent with the overall state average age and gender percentages. The population in White Pine County, as a whole, is nearly 86 percent White, with Black or African American and American Indian making up 10 percent of the total population. Comparatively, the State of Nevada is also primarily White (75 percent) (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB] 2010). Racial diversity is low in White Pine County. The national average for an area this size is 3,754 racially diverse people, while there are 2,702 here (White Pine County 2020).
3.12.1.2 Housing The total number of housing units in White Pine County has been fairly stable between 2015 and 2019, with an average of 4,492 units. Vacant housing in the County declined from a peak of 1,286 in 2016 to 1,008 in 2019, which represents a 25-percent decline. There are currently about 1,000 vacant housing units in the County, including 669 units in Ely, McGill, and Ruth (USCB, 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). In 2017, the owner vacancy rate amounted to 2.4 percent while the rental vacancy rate amounted to 12 percent, which can be considered high in typical market conditions (White Pine County 2020). This is potentially sufficient to accommodate most of the non-resident workers during the construction phase of the Project; however, White Pine County has identified a lack of adequate housing. In March 2019, a group of local citizens held a “Housing Summit,” and invited developers, contractors, realtors and property owners. to attend and participate in solving the problem. The group worked with University of NevadaReno and Nevada Rural Housing to prepare an assessment of housing needed to attract employment. To assist, the County made property available to a developer willing to build housing, a contract has been signed and the first of needed housing is in the process of being built. The County will continue to evaluate and pursue options to increase needed housing (White Pine County 2020). WPW anticipates that non-resident workers will not typically bring family members to the area for the construction period. Considering that many of the construction trades will not be required on the Project for the entire duration, most non-resident workers are expected to prefer temporary housing. There are approximately 23 hotels and motels that provide temporary housing in the area (White Pine County 2020). Within a daily commuting distance (approximately 50 miles) of the Project, there are also 10 RV parks/campgrounds that can provide temporary housing to workers. The two largest of these, Ely KOA Journey and Valley View RV Park, offer a total of 172 RV sites (Good Sam Club 2022).

3.12.1.3 Workforce, Industry, Education, and Income Employment Employment in White Pine County amounted to 3,633 people in 2019. Over the years 2015-2019, employment fluctuated between 3,529 and 3,656 and showed an overall increasing trend (USCB, 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). Jobs are expected to increase by approximately 288 jobs by 2025 (White Pine County 2020). In 2019, the unemployment rate for White Pine County was 3.0 percent, compared to 3.9 percent unemployment in Nevada (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics) and a national unemployment rate of 3.7 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019). Between 2015 and 2019, the unemployment rate in White Pine County was consistently lower than in the State of Nevada.
Industries White Pine County has historically experienced a boom-and-bust pattern of development related to mineral extraction. Mining activities continue to-date although the local smelter was closed in the 1980s. Two major industries that support White Pine County are the Ely State Prison Facility and Liberty Pit in the Robinson Mining District. The state prison has been open since 1989 and is a maximum-security prison that employs 406 positions managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. It is considered a major employer in the region (State of Nevada Department of Corrections 2019). Liberty Pit is the largest open-pit copper mine in Nevada, providing economic benefits and jobs to the surrounding community. Copper is the primary ore mined in the county, followed by gold, silver, zinc, and tungsten (White Pine County 2020). White Pine County is also characterized as a destination for recreation and tourism, as described in Section 3.8.1 Affected Recreation Environment. White Pine County is home to 28 hotels and 33 restaurants (White Pine County 2020). Table 3.12-1 shows employment by industry across the County in 2019. The table demonstrates that that mining provided the most jobs in White Pine County at 17.6 percent of total, followed by public administration (15.7 percent of total) and accommodation and food services (12.4 percent of total). Construction supported 5.9 percent of jobs while professional services supported 4.8 percent (USCB 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates).

Education Between 2015 and 2019, 24.7 percent of White Pine County’s population 25 years and over had some college education with no degree, 9.3 percent had an associate’s degree, and 13.2 percent had a bachelor’s degree or a graduate/professional degree as their highest educational attainment (USCB 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates).
Income Table 3.12-2 shows the income statistics for White Pine County for 2015 and 2019. In 2019, household incomes tended to be lower in White Pine County overall than in Nevada on average. The table shows that between 2015 and 2019 household incomes as well as per capita income in Nevada increased by over 20 percent. The increase in median earnings was much smaller, but it still amounted to nearly 17 percent. Income growth in White Pine County overall tended to be much smaller (from a small decline to an increase by 6.5 percent). McGill and Ruth display changes of a much greater magnitude. For example, median income in Ruth increased by over 60 percent (USCB undated).

Between 2015 and 2019, the poverty rate in White Pine County was at a level of about 14 percent and tended to be slightly higher than the state-wide rate. However, poverty rates for McGill and Ruth in 2019 were well below the state average at 4.9 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively (USCB 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). Over the years 2015 to 2019, poverty rates declined or remained essentially unchanged across the geographies considered here; the decline in poverty rates in McGill and Ruth is particularly larger at nearly 56 percent and 81 percent.
3.12.1.4 Public Services Healthcare and Emergency Services There are six medical clinics in White Pine County and one hospital located in Ely. In 2019 there were 15 physicians per 10,000 capita in White Pine County, lower than the state average of 22 (Griswold, Packham, and Young 2019, 2020). The White Pine County Emergency Medical Services coverage area encompasses the County and mutual agreement areas with neighboring counties in Nevada, Shoshone Tribal lands located in Duckwater, and Millard County in the State of Utah (Nevada Government 2021). White Pine County Fire EMS – Fire Station #1, on U.S. Highway 93 near the Ely airport, supplies 24-hour emergency services using paid and volunteer staff. Station #2, in McGill, provides 24-hour emergency response and is staffed by volunteers (White Pine County 2022). There are a total of four medical emergency stations throughout the County primarily run by volunteer crews. William Bee Ririe Hospital in Ely has an Emergency Department that offers 24-hour emergency care, The White Pine February 2022 | 228

County Ambulance, located in Ely, provides emergency and non-emergency medical transport services for patients in Ely. There are also 14 fire departments in White Pine County, serving an area of 8,873 square miles (CountyOffice.org undated). There is one fire department per 704 people, and one fire department per 633 square miles. In Nevada, White Pine County ranked 5th of 17 counties in Fire Departments per capita, and 10th of 17 counties in terms of Fire Departments per square mile. Most White Pine County Fire Departments are staffed by volunteers. They respond to calls for fire suppression as well as medical emergencies, incidents involving hazardous materials, rescue calls, and motor vehicle or other accidents.
Public Education Services The White Pine County School District educates most students in White Pine County with schools in Ely, Baker, Lund, and McGill. It also offers an adult education program through an alternative high school and an adult high school located at Ely State Prison (White Pine County 2020). There are seven schools in operation with 1,230 students in prekindergarten through grade 12 classes (White Pine County School District 2021). The teacher’s count in White Pine County School District has been slowly declining, from 75 teachers in the 2014-2015 school year to 66 teachers in the 2017-2018 school year (National Center for Education Statistics undated). To address the shortage of qualified teachers throughout the state, the Nevada State Board of Education allows for Alternative Route to Licensure for prospective teachers with college degrees in other majors to be employed as teachers while they take college classes in their teaching content area (White Pine County 2020).

Environmental Effects This section presents information available at this time about potential effects of the proposed Project on socioeconomic resources. Following NEPA regulations and guidelines, a project’s potential effects can be categorized as direct, indirect, and cumulative. As Project design advances, more quantification or specificity of direct and indirect effects may be possible and will be presented in the FLA. This DLA presents some of the direct or indirect effects on socioeconomic resources as they are understood at this time. Cumulative effects are presented separately, in a subsequent section. The construction and operation of the Project will impact the socioeconomics of White Pine County and the State of Nevada. A summary of WPW’s economic and social impacts analyses is provided below and detailed further in Appendix I.

Table 3.12-5 shows the estimated tax revenue impacts of the construction expenditures by level of government and geography. The table shows that across Nevada, construction expenditures related to the Project are expected to generate about $164.3 million in various tax revenues to local, state, and federal governments. Tax revenues generated in White Pine County are estimated at $66.4 million (to all levels of government) over the entire construction period. As shown in the main text of this report, federal tax revenues consist primarily of personal income taxes and social insurance taxes. State tax revenues consist primarily of sales taxes. Regarding county tax revenues, property taxes account for the largest share followed by sales taxes.

3.12.2.2 Social Impacts Analysis The socio-economic profiles of White Pine County, Ely, McGill, and Ruth combined with the analysis of other related data and information led to the following key observations regarding potential socioeconomic impacts of the Project. The Project would create labor demand in the construction-related and professional services industries for more than 1,000 workers during peak periods to work at the Project site. White Pine County will not be able to support all of this demand. However, the County may well be able to provide many workers given its current size of related industries, including construction, mining, and professional services industries (2019 employment of 215, 640, and 173, respectively, based on USCB). Although the unemployment rate in White Pine County is low at about 3 percent, the labor force participation rate in the County is also very low at less than 50 percent. This may be indicative of existing pockets of working age individuals who would like to work but stopped working and looking for a job due to a lack of success. Local communities may thus gain significant employment-related benefits from the Project and increase the employment rate. The Project is expected to bring to the county more than 900 non-resident, constructionrelated workers during the construction period. This will boost county population by more than 9 percent. Most non-resident workers are not anticipated to bring family members to the area for the construction period and non-local construction personnel will typically disperse from the area following completion of construction activities. Based on housing statistics, White Pine County has a large stock of unoccupied housing, and temporary housing is available as described in Section 3.12.1.2 Housing. However, the County’s existing housing stock may not have the capacity to accommodate all nonFebruary 2022 | 232

resident workers migrating to the County during the construction period. White Pine County has identified a need for more housing and initiated efforts to build more housing in the area as described in Section 3.12.1.2 Housing. If temporary housing is not sufficient for the construction workforce, WPW anticipates that its construction contractor will construct worker housing if needed. Some public services in White Pine County such as health care and education are already facing limited resources. With 900+ non-resident workers coming to the county, the Project may place additional stress on these services. However, most health care needs for the non-resident temporary construction workers will be met by the medical clinics and hospital in White Pine County. Most temporary workers would not enroll students in local schools. The increased tax revenues resulting from the Project would have a beneficial economic impact on local schools. The effect of the Project on health care and education is anticipated to be minor. The County’s emergency services (medical and fire protection) seem to have capacity that is sufficient for current County needs. They may be able to accommodate the Project needs as well. The Conceptual Project Boundary and adjacent lands are sparsely populated. Few if any displacements of residences or businesses will likely have to take place to build and operate the Project. In terms of effects to the economics of recreation, there are potential negative impacts on the NNR train ride experiences due to the impacts of the Project. Impacts may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and interpretation of the Project for NNR passengers. Regarding hunting and wildlife viewing, lands in the vicinity of the Project are designated as priority and seasonal habitat for game species, including greater sagegrouse, mule deer, and pronghorn. The Project, a large infrastructure installation in the landscape, may have some impacts to species and habitat with implications on hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.
3.12.3
Cumulative Environmental Effects Related to Socioeconomic Resources The issue of cumulative effects will be revisited in the FLA.
3.12.4
Agency Consultation and Applicant Recommendations
3.12.4.1 Agency Consultation The NOI and PAD for the proposed Project were filed with the FERC on May 15, 2020. Comments were received from local agencies (e.g., White Pine County), state and federal agencies, the Ely Shoshone Tribe, the NNR Foundation, and individuals. WPW held a joint public-agency meeting and site tour on September 1, 2020, and has continued consultation with stakeholders since that time. WPW’s Record of Consultation is provided as Appendix A.

3.12.4.2 Applicant Recommendations Several potential impacts of the Project on socioeconomic resources are expected to be positive, including increased revenue within the county and state during construction and operation as well as the creation of additional jobs throughout the life of the Project. Negative impacts are associated with the potential strain on the housing market in White Pine County as well as on public services with the projected increase in population. The Project may also have negative socioeconomic impacts on recreation in the immediate Project vicinity. WPW has been in consultation with White Pine County, the NNR, and other recreation administrators such as the BLM. No PM&E measures are proposed related to socioeconomic resources.
4.0
Developmental Analysis In the FLA, this section will analyze the cost of construction and operation and maintenance of the Project under the Proposed Action compared to the no action alternative. The analysis will consider the costs of construction, operation and maintenance, and proposed PM&E measures. The developmental analysis will allow for the comparison of Project costs to the benefits resulting from the construction and operation of the Project.

Conclusions and Recommendations
5.1
Comprehensive Development and Recommended Alternative In deciding whether to issue a license for a hydroelectric project, the Commission must determine that the project will be best adapted to a comprehensive plan for improving or developing a waterway (FPA Section 10(a)). In addition to the power and developmental purposes for which licenses are issued, the Commission must give equal consideration to the purposes of energy conservation; the protection, mitigation, or damage to and enhancement of fish and wildlife (including related spawning grounds and habitat); the protection of recreational opportunities; and the preservation of other aspects of environmental quality (FPA Section 4(e)). WPW intends that the Project as described in this DLA and to be further detailed in the FLA fulfills the best use of power and non-power resources.
5.1.1
Measures Proposed by the Applicant PM&E measures and other environmental measures proposed by WPW to protect resources are summarized in Table 2.2-3.

5.1.2
Agency- and Stakeholder-Proposed Measures With the distribution of this DLA, WPW seeks agency and stakeholder input on appropriate resource measures to be included in the license issued by FERC.
5.2
Unavoidable Adverse Effects In the FLA, this section will describe any unavoidable adverse effects of Project construction and operation.
5.3
Consistency with Comprehensive Plans In accordance with 18 CFR §5.6(d)(4)(iii and iv), WPW has reviewed the May 2019 FERC List of Comprehensive Plans applicable to Nevada and adopted by FERC under Section 10(a)(2)(A) of the FPA, 16 USC §803(a)(2)(A). Of the 16 comprehensive plans relevant to Nevada, nine were determined applicable to the Project: 1. Bureau of Land Management. 1987. Egan Resource Area Management Plan. Department of the Interior, Ely, Nevada. February 3, 1987. 2. Bureau of Land Management. 2015. Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments for the Great Basin Region, Including the Greater Sage-Grouse Sub-Regions of Idaho and Southwestern Montana, Nevada and Northeastern California, Oregon, and Utah. Washington, D.C. September 2015. 3. Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. 2010. Nevada Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP): 2010. Carson City, Nevada. 4. Forest Service. 1986. Humboldt National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Department of Agriculture, Elko, Nevada. August 1986. 5. Forest Service. 1988. Toiyabe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Department of Agriculture, Sparks, Nevada. February 12, 1988. 6. National Park Service. 1993. The Nationwide Rivers Inventory. Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 1993. 7. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2013. Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Conservation Objectives: Final Report. Denver, Colorado. February 2013. 8. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Undated. Fisheries USA: the recreational fisheries policy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Washington, D.C. 9. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service. 1986. North American waterfowl management plan. Department of the Interior. Environment Canada. May 1986. WPW is also considering four additional plans recommended by stakeholders: February 2022 | 235

1. Bureau of Land Management. 2019. Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment. March 2019. 2. White Pine County. 2018. White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan. Prepared by the White Pine County Public Land Users Advisory Committee. October 2018. 3. White Pine County. 2019. Approval of Resolution 2020-051 Adopting White Pine County Water Resource Plan Element to the White Pine County Master Plan. 4. White Pine County. 2005. White Pine County Open Space Plan. September 2005. Ely, Nevada. Based on a review of the nine comprehensive plans and four additional plans recommended by stakeholders, WPW concludes that the Project, as currently designed, is consistent with each of these plans, except for: •
Bureau of Land Management. 2015. Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments for the Great Basin Region, Including the Greater Sage-Grouse Sub-Regions of Idaho and Southwestern Montana, Nevada and Northeastern California, Oregon, and Utah. Washington, D.C. September 2015; and
•
Bureau of Land Management. 2019. Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment. March.
As discussed in Section 1.3 Consultation, WPW has begun consultation with the BLM. As described in Section 1.2.3 Clean Water Act, BLM will evaluate the Project to determine if it is in conformance with the Goals and Objectives of the Ely District RMP (BLM 2008a) and the 2015 ARMPA (BLM 2015). WPW proposes to continue to coordinate with BLM to adopt measures to ensure compliance with these two plans. If the Project is not in conformance with the BLM’s land use plans, BLM would decide if an amendment to the RMP would be required.

Details Monica Ruth asked if they were available to talk over the phone about the project the following week? She further advised them that White Pine Waterpower would be conducting, with HDR assisting, informal consultation with SHPO, the BLM, and Native American tribes as part of Section 106 compliance Lisa Gilbert advised that she was deferring Monica Ruth to her management team at this time, as no BLM specialists have been officially assigned to this project outside of their lands team. She also provided contact information for Leslie Riley, nonrenewable associate field manager for the Bristlecone field office Monica Ruth did a follow‐up email with Leslie Riley and Jared Bybee, copy Lisa Gilbert and Kurt Braun, regarding availability for an hour next week to discuss the White Pine project and the FERC process?
Jason Hines forwarded the Processing Determination Letter and the Cost Reimbursement Agreement for the Boring Project Danielle Risse sent a package to Lisa Gilbert containing cultural reports Danielle Risse advises that the first three cultural reports were mailed Lisa Gilbert acknowledged receipt of above advisory Lisa Gilbert advises the documents were received and she would be back in touch Danielle Risse asked if they had any additional information on historical roads, including Old Lincoln Highway realignment Ian Cain forwarded to J Larkin a standard data request (and shapefile) for proposed project Ian Holl responded to Ian Cain's request for wildlife resource information in the vicinity of White Pine County Ian Cain asked Ian Holl if/when TRS values for two leks would be published? And if a historic lek could be considered inactive or is inactive a separate status? Meeting record of WEBEX call with rPlus, BLM, and HDR to discus Sage Grouse mapping Lisa Gilbert advised Danielle Risse that she had finished reviewing Sections B and C and was working on D. Once finished, would be in contact to set up a video call. She also asked if HDR had an architectural historian who was vetted through the NV SHPO? Lisa was thinking specifically about the architectural resources associated with the railroad's eligible site Danielle Risse advised Lisa Gilbert that a WEBEX call could be set up when she was ready. Leesa Gratreak is one of HDR's architectural historians and Danielle was checking to see if she had worked in Nevada before

Details Danielle Risse advised Lisa Gilbert that she had just sent out four emails with four separate pieces of Appendix C with the site records Lisa Gilbert acknowledged receiving the emails from Danielle Risse with the pieces of Appendix C Brett Burgess emailed the draft environmental study plans for review and comment, with Mar 09, 2021 cover letter from Luigi Resta. Comments due by Mar 24, 2021 Moira Kolada inquired of Ian Cain as to whether HDR was planning on counting leks in 2021 as part of the baseline studies? Ian Cain advised that the study plan for sage grouse included leks monitoring for the three leks known to occur in the vicinity of the reservoirs. Maggie Cummings would be working with Nancy Helms at BLM as soon as Nancy got the okay to work on the project Moira Kolada asked that we include NDOW for any studies and relay any data that includes wildlife as NDOW has management responsibility for wildlife in the state of Nevada Pam McWharter inquired of Jason Hines and Jared Bybee of BLM availability for a call to discuss a few big overview topics related to project and more specifically, to the test borehole portion Brett Burgess followed up in regards to Study Plans sent out prior day, encouraging participation in process; feedback valued Lisa Gilbert inquired about UTMS missing from most recent site forms for Report D Danelle Risse advised the UTMS would be sent shortly and inquired if Lisa needed the site records updated as well? Lisa Gilbert advised there would be some changes coming to the site forms so wait until Lisa has finished her review Margaret Cummings emailed Moira Kolada to confirm attached protocols were adequate for lek monitoring. Margaret also asked if NDOW could provide coordinates for the lek locations she noted in the email Moira Kolada advised Margaret Cummings that HDR had the correct lek protocol; and that she would provide locations shortly; but first wanted to clarify if HDR was planning all these leks as the list appeared significantly longer than the one in the baseline study information? Margaret Cummings advised Moira Kolada that the study plan included the 3 leks within a 4 mile buffer of the reservoir locations, not the transmission lines as don't have a proposed alignment. The longer list includes leks with 4 miles of the transmission line. Planning to conduct counts at these 3 leks, with possibility of monitoring some of the others. Margaret also asked if there was a possibility for data sharing if NDOW was collecting lek information this season‐‐would that be adequate to support our baseline study? Margaret Cummings sought guidance on how the disturbance for the facilities would be categorized in the HQT. BLM had indicated it would fall in under a land/realty project in terms of compliance with the 2018 ARMPA Moira Kolada sent Margaret Cummings the locations for the 3 leks; she would confirm on the remainder once she had confirmed they are not being counted by anyone at NDOW. Can data share but it takes a few months after lek season to get the data compiled Margaret Cummings advised that HDR would be conducting one‐time lek surveys of status at the 14 leks with 3.1 miles of the proposed transmission line. Inquired if they had other resources or references for the requirement of lek monitoring‐‐or different buffers HDR should know about?

Lisa Gilbert advised that she would get back with specifics, but that #6 is also incorrect, the number and title/reference could be in error as well Tim Casey advised that transmission line noise might require use of 2 models, one to calculate corona noise levels and another to propagate them with other project‐related noise sources Margaret Cummings advised Matt Maples and Moira Kolada that she had reviewed the updated noise protocols with her acoustics team and have a few items that need further clarification

Summary of Existing Information: This section should include mapping that includes the current Project-related infrastructure overlayed with both BLM and State of Nevada Habitat Mapping. • It should be noted that the BLM Habitat Mapping and the State of Nevada Habitat Mapping is NOT the same and may be different in and around the project area. BLM land use authorizations (i.e. rights-ofway) will be based on regulations included in the 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-grouse Land Use Plan Amendment. Therefore, some infrastructure may need to be relocated to avoid priority habitat. • The State of Nevada habitat map will be used to determine compensatory mitigation requirements based on final layout and design of proposed project infrastructure. But it should be noted that these are two separate and somewhat independent processes. Study Area: A 200-foot buffer is not going to be adequate, particularly for the State’s CCS analysis.

Attachment 1 – Map of Study Area This map is helpful in that it shows planned project infrastructure over Sage-grouse habitat and leks along with a 6 km buffer, which is more appropriate than what was described in the “Study Area” section. However, the map is missing several key pieces of information, namely: Are the location, size and orientation of the Primary Facility Corridors, Reservoirs and Structures preliminary (subject to change) or final? • Are the Grouse Habitat Management Areas based on Department or BLM data? This map shows why a more detailed analysis of the BLM’s Sage-grouse regulations are needed early in the process. For instance: • Can the BLM grant a right-of-way for the proposed rail re-alignment through Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA)? • Can the BLM grant rights-of-way for the proposed access roads and other project infrastructure within Priority Habitat Management Area (PHMA)?

The Center requests that the study be conducted at a landscape scale consistent with Sage-Grouse National Technical Team recommendations. The Center requests that rPlus use the “BLM’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy (Toevs 2011), which identifies ‘core indicators’ for reporting ‘landscape level attributes.’” to capture landscape scale impacts of the project. The Center requests rPlus to consider two options for mitigation beyond the Nevada Credit Conservation System including: 1. Purchasing grazing leases and permits and allowing them to expire. 2. Restoration and protection of riparian areas on federal land.

Additionally, there are no known requirements that would necessitate a 6 mile buffer around the entire project. Comment noted. 1. White Pine will coordinate with NDOW for future study needs. 2. Lek counts will be conducted in a buffer of 3.1 miles from known leks per the BLM Plan requirement. See response to Center Comment 2. White Pine developed the study plan in consultation with BLM and Nevada Department of Wildlife and proposes to assess breeding/late brood rearing/winter habitat according to a widely used Habitat Assessment Framework. Should the BLM or Nevada Department of Wildlife request the use of the AIM strategy, White Pine will compile information to meet the needs of that assessment. 1. Grazing leases and permits require active resource use and run the risk of being forfeited to a rancher that would graze the permitted land instead. The lease also requires the purchase of a base property near the lease. This is also not in the best interest of the local community. 2. White Pine is planning to coordinate with the Sage grouse Ecosystem Technical Team on Credit development opportunities pursued under the Nevada Credit Conservation System.

Steptoe Valley and Duck Creek Basin offer some of the most beautiful views in the west, serious consideration to the negative visual and aesthetic impacts this projects brings to our community needs to be thoroughly studied and 100% mitigated. Reclamation Bonding: I would ask that a reclamation bond be required before construction begins. Comments Regarding Sage Grouse: I would ask that the Company consider an alternative to cluster disturbances associated with operations and facilities as close as possible to reduce impacts to various resources including sage grouse. Please analyze and collect data to support this alternative to cluster all disturbance for construction and operations on the Steptoe Valley side of the Duck Creek Range including staging yards, man camps, access roads, etc. Steptoe Valley is currently zoned for industrial use, Duck Creek is not. Having a man camp and staging area just off the Duck Creek Road for a 10 year period will cause irreparable damage to the roads, wildlife, culture and beauty of Duck Creek Basin. Additionally, establishing a man camp on the Duck Creek side will take away from any economic benefit of hosting “thousands of workers” during construction. The County should encourage the Company to utilize our local hotels, motels, RV spots and restaurants, not allow the establishment of a man camp.

Recreation Resources Study Your proposed study should address one of the stated purposes of the NPS’s requested study, which is to determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors. However, your proposed study would not sufficiently address the second purpose of NPS’s requested study, which is to characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be affected by the Project. Data on visitor experiences is more qualitative in nature and not easily captured using a survey instrument such as the one you propose. More in-depth data collection is necessary to qualify visitor experiences. This includes user interviews and focus groups discussions with NNR personnel and others involved in the train rides, such as NPS rangers involved in the Star Trains. Such discussions could help you redesign your survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would potentially be impacted by the proposed Project.

White Pine intends to request visitor counts from NNR, as well as any demographic information NNR provides. The survey instrument includes questions on zip code (or country) of origin, gender, age, and primary language. White Pine intends to consult with NNR staff, and Great Basin National Park staff if available, to refine the survey instrument as appropriate. The survey instrument includes an open-ended question for additional comments from visitors.

Rather than developing new mapping associated with vegetation types, the assessment should incorporate any existing mapping, including critical seasonal habitats (i.e. mule deer and Sage-grouse) or critical migration corridors. Much of this mapping (shape files) can be provided by the Nevada Department of Wildlife and/or BLM Ely District upon request.

Summary of Existing Information: Table 2 should be updated to include: • Nevada species of Conservation Priority (Nevada Wildlife Action Plan). • Nevada designated big game, upland game and fur-bearer species (NDOW). • Any existing habitat mapping and/or species previously identified in or near the project-area based on information that can be provided by NDOW and NNHP respectively as well as the BLM.
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response The special-status species initially targeted for this assessment are all either Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sensitive wildlife known to occur in White Pine County and/or wildlife species listed in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan that occur in the Ely region. The study plan will be revised to add 2 fur-bearing species and 3 Nevada species of Conservation Priority to Table 2. Additionally, Department-modeled seasonal habitat information for elk and pronghorn will be used in the analysis of study data. Existing Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) mapping will be used to analyze project effects and will be used to develop Project-related management plans for species such as mule deer, elk, and pronghorn. Sage Grouse analysis is being handled in a focused Greater Sage Grouse Study. Data provided by the Department has been reviewed and incorporated into the study.

3.1 RTE Wildlife Species, Study Area: A 200-foot buffer seems limited when assessing biological resources. Any species-specific wildlife buffers (i.e. Golden Eagle) should also be identified here.
Study Methods: The statement that “…surveys targeting individual wildlife species are not included as part of this effort” needs to be explained. Has the proponent met with the BLM and Nevada Department of Wildlife to determine that such surveys are not necessary, or will these species-specific surveys be conducted upon completion of this effort? 4.2.1 Vegetation Mapping: The County would suggest that Ecological Site Descriptions be included or at least utilized as part of this effort, and if available state-and-transition modeling as well. The local NRCS Office should be able to provide this information if needed. 4.2.2 Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment: Once again, the County strongly suggests consultation with local wildlife biologists from the Nevada Department of Wildlife and BLM to incorporate data and mapping
White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response
The Greater Sage Grouse Study includes species-specific buffers. For other species, White Pine will gather data to determine which special-status wildlife species have potential to occur in the study area, and potential to nest, den, or roost in the study area. Those species determined to have high potential to occur will be assumed to be present. As required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), management plans will be written to adequately protect those species during the life of the project. Management plans could include requirements for species-specific surveys with appropriate buffers to monitor Project effects, which would follow speciesspecific protocols if available. Additionally, protocol surveys for wildlife may be required the year prior to construction to determine best avoidance measures based on conditions closer to the construction date. See response to County-6
Information in Ecological Site Descriptions from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the area have been reviewed. The vegetation mapping being proposed is a 100 percent ground-truthed survey. White Pine has obtained analysis reports from NDOW and BLM for the study area, which provided modeled habitat for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. These data sets will be used in the analysis for the report.

that has already been completed for the area as well as identifying any important migration or movement corridors. In addition, the Project Proponent needs to ensure that the survey protocols for BLM-listed sensitive species meet the BLM survey standards. For instance, since Golden eagle are “known to occur”, the Project needs to better explain the survey protocols that will be followed. If survey requirements have been waived by BLM and/or NDOW, then an explanation should be added as to why that decision was made. 4.2.3 Reporting: Schedule and Deliverables: The County is concerned that the schedule and deliverables may not meet the standards required by the BLM, particularly for species such as Golden eagle. References: The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan, 2018 should be cited as a reference and utilized in the report accordingly. In addition to the general data pulled for the Nevada Department of Wildlife’s Wildlife Action Plan and the Nevada Natural Heritage Website, the project proponent should also submit project area – specific data requests so that more specific information regarding the site can be understood prior to initiating any field work. Both data requests can be made through the respective websites for NDOW and NNHP. Map: The provided mapping is appreciated in that it includes more detail than was previously provided. However, the County requests an update of the map which calls out all proposed infrastructures.

White Pine Waterpower, LLC Response The 25 acre estimate is based on a review of the National Wetland Inventory database, which identified Duck Creek, McGill Spring, and an unnamed section of an ephemeral drainage that leads into Duck Creek as potential wetlands. The current configuration of the Project has resulted in the unnamed ephemeral drainage being outside of the study area. The current study area only has National Wetland Inventory potential wetland features on Duck Creek and McGill Spring, which will be represented on a map in the study report. The buffer around Project facilities is sufficient to assess the area potentially affected by operation of the Project as currently proposed. Should a design change occur during conduct of the study placing a Project facility outside the current buffer, the study lead will review aerial imagery of the new location to 1) determine if extrapolation of field data can be done into the new area, or 2) schedule an additional field effort to collect supplemental field data. The study report would be updated to include this additional information. As Project engineering and construction planning advance toward final design, any additional lands identified as potentially impacted by the Project’s construction and operation will be assessed. All aquatic resources will be identified and mapped in the delineation report. The report will have a detailed discussion on why or why not each aquatic resource meets the current definition of waters of the United States (WOUS). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) will make the final determination whether aquatic resources are WOUS. See response to comment County-15.

Cultural Resources Study Plan It should be noted that the Nevada Northern Rail and associated right-of-way is Congressionally designated. As such, either this study or a sperate right-of-way study should be completed specific to the right-of-way to disclose if the right-of-way could be relocated and if infrastructure proposed by White Pine would be allowed within the existing right-of-way. In addition, conversations with the BLM need to occur to determine if a new right-of-way could be granted as proposed, particularly given that it would be located within Priority Habitat for Greater Sage-grouse. Project Nexus and Study Goals and Objectives: It would seem like the Nevada Northern Railway (City of Ely & White Pine Historical Foundation) would need to be listed as a consulting party. Background Research: In addition to the rail itself, has White Pine completed any research on the right-ofway itself to determine if a realignment can be completed? The County understands that some, if not all the rightof-way that is Congressionally authorized. Would a realignment be compatible with the public law associated with the right-of-way as well as placement of subsequent Project infrastructure? Any new right-of-way is likely to require BLM approval. Will be the BLM be able to issue such a right-of-way, particularly as it is in Greater Sagegrouse habitat? Study Area: Does the study area and 200-foot buffer provide enough flexibility to relocate infrastructure if need be? 4.2.1 Step 1 – Obtain SHPO Approval of APE and Conduct Archival Research: The White Pine Historical Foundation should be added to this list, including the tribal points of contact listed previously.

Summary of Existing Information: Per the above, this section needs to incorporate pertinent information from the White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan as well as information from the Nevada Department of Wildlife regarding fishing as well as big and upland game hunting opportunities in the area. Study Area: The study area generally makes sense (10-miles of the Primary Facility Corridors). However, the Primary Facility Corridors need to include primary access corridors to and from the project site. For instance, that main road in the Duck Creek Basin (Success Loop) is very important for a host or recreational activities and access to recreational sites as well as private property. Increased construction traffic and material deliveries will affect those corridors. Study Methods: The County suggests that traffic counts on Success Loop and existing roads anticipated for use by the project be completed to determine use rates and patterns of both on-road and off-highway vehicle use. The critical time-period for such a survey would be May – December. 4.2.1 Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimates: Other outdoor recreation facilities located within the Study Area and not currently listed, include, but are not limited to: • Success Loop / Success Summit • Nevada Game Management Units 111, 121 and 131 • Bassett Lake The Nevada Department of Wildlife should be consulted for use data (use days) for big game hunting in Game Management Units 111, 121 and 131 as well as upland game hunting and fishing in White Pine County.

In addition to relying on “…relevant agency…goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desire conditions…” consultation with directly affected stakeholders is critical as part of this study. The County suggests presenting draft information from this study to directly affected property owners and the County through its Public Land Users Advisory Committee and/or other public workshop. Summary of Existing Information: Given the proximity of the project to the Schell Creek Range, this section and the study in general, needs to incorporate adjacent lands managed by the US Forest Service as well as private property in both the Duck Creek Basin and the Steptoe Valley. In addition, the road through Duck Creek Basin, known locally as “Success Loop” is extremely important from a scenic standpoint to residents and visitors alike. This should be acknowledged in this section. Study Area: The County appreciates the study area, and the 1, 5, 10 and 15-mile buffers specifically. However, a second map should be developed focusing on the area immediately around the reservoirs and access areas. The map should show surface ownership / management so that everyone has a clear understanding that private property as well as public lands managed by the BLM and Forest Service will be impacted by the Project. Study Methods: The County does not believe that the number of critical key viewing locations should be capped at nine. Furthermore, the key viewing locations should be identified in coordination and consultation with: the County, BLM, Forest Service, and nearby private landowners. The County can identify several critical key viewing locations herein: • Highway 93;

The County appreciates the note that White Pine will “…consult with stakeholders to identify representative and critical viewing locations.” The County would suggest specific consultation with the following stakeholders: • Private Landowners within the Duck Creek Basin and Steptoe Valley • White Pine Public Land Users Advisory Committee • Nevada Department of Wildlife • Bureau of Land Management • US Forest Service • City of Ely 4.2.2 Project Facilities Inventory: The County would recommend use of GPS with sub-meter accuracy given the nature of the project location. It is unclear to the County how such an inventory of project-related infrastructure can be completed before final locations of such infrastructure is known. It should be noted in this section how the study would be updated if infrastructure needs to be relocated due to design constraints or as a mitigation to resources. 4.2.3 Photosimulation: The County would recommend clarifying what distance justifies “moderate” and “substantial” distance for better clarity as to the analysis.

How will the visual simulation account for trees or other vertical obstructions (i.e. rock outcrops, hills / draws, etc.) that may be removed or altered as a result of the project, thus changing the visual baseline condition. How will the visual simulation account for impacts of lighting on night skies? The area, Duck Creek Basin in particular, is known for its dark skies and night time impacts could be as critical as day time impacts. 4.2.4 Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities: In this section, White Pine specifically calls out determining the impact of visual resource impacts utilizing specific BLM tools and details. However, both private lands and lands managed by the US Forest Service may have visual impacts. Could the study please clarify how those impacts will be assessed? Schedule and Deliverables: The County appreciates that the “…results of the inventory may be used to guide development of a visual resource protection, mitigation and enhancement measures.” (emphasis added), but the “may” should be changed to “shall”. Further, the County and local stakeholders should have input to the mitigation measures and measures should include the relocation and/or modification of project features if a significant visual impact could be avoided all together.
While potential KOPs have not yet been identified, any KOPs which are on USFS-administered lands would be analyzed using the appropriate USFS methodology. For all other KOPs, BLM methodology will be used.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), if there is the potential for significant impacts, including visual impacts that cannot be mitigated such that they are no longer significant, the impacts must be assessed. As such, unmitigable project impacts are not prohibited under NEPA but must be disclosed as part of project documentation. The visual and aesthetic resources study will review potential impacts on visual and aesthetic resources and provide mitigation measures as applicable. 18 of 43

Impacts such as habitat fragmentation, behavioral avoidance, and invasion by non-native species will not be constrained to the 200-foot buffer proposed by White Pine. In order to present a full picture of the biological impacts of the project, thorough, seasonallyappropriate surveys must be performed for sensitive plant species and vegetation communities, and animal species.

Adequate surveys must be implemented, not just a single season of surveys, in order to evaluate the existing on-site conditions. Due to unpredictable precipitation in this arid environment, organisms in the proposed project area have evolved to survive in harsh conditions and if surveys are performed at inappropriate times or year or in particularly dry years many plants that are in fact on-site may not be apparent during surveys (ex. annual and herbaceous perennial plants). Finally, White Pine must dramatically expand its analysis of noxious weeds and other invasive plant species. The current proposal is to record the presence and distribution of certain species classified as “noxious” by the state of Nevada. This will fail to fully capture the project’s foreseeable effects on invasive, non-native species.
Additional surveys could be required before construction activities and could be required as part of management plans written as a condition of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license.
The State’s “noxious” designation does not cover some of the most problematic invasive plant species in the Project area, including cheatgrass (bromus tectorum). Roads, rights- of-way, powerlines, and other types of infrastructure have been shown to propagate and spread cheatgrass invasions throughout the West.
There is currently no known regulatory mechanism requiring analysis of the effects of all non-native plant species that occur in the study area. Different organizations and entities apply the term invasive to different lists of species, and White Pine is using the list that is publicly available from State of Nevada agencies.
Invasive species represent one of the greatest conservation challenges in the Great Basin. The most severe and widespread environmental impacts from this project could derive from the introduction and spread of invasive annual grasses that are not included on the State’s list of “noxious” weeds. It is therefore essential to informed decision making that
Cheatgrass is being included in the study as equivalent to B and C designated noxious weeds. The Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study is intended to be floristic in nature and all observed species will be identified, not just those listed in Table 2 of the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan.
If requested by BLM, FERC, or State of Nevada agencies, additional information about observed non-native plant species can be collected and reported outside of the list of species included in Table 2 of the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan. See response to Center-8. Of the agencies listed in this comment, only US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and BLM have established protocols for surveying for plant species. The FWS protocol is geared toward surveying for federal ESA listed and candidate plant species, which do not occur in White Pine County, and is therefore not appropriate for this

White Pine expand the scope of its invasive species study to encompass cheatgrass and other species not classified as “noxious.” White Pine should consult with NDOW, FWS, BLM, USGS and other agencies to determine which invasive species are present in the area and how to effectively conduct surveys. Recreational Resources White Pine’s recreational resources survey inappropriately focuses on “facilities,” such as the Nevada Northern Railway and developed campsites. This approach largely ignores the substantial role of dispersed recreation—including hunting, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, backpacking, mountain biking, climbing, and other activities—in the local recreational economy. Eastern Nevada is remarkable for its open spaces, abundant wildlife, and scenic views. White Pine’s recreational analysis should therefore recognize that many recreational opportunities are intertwined with wildlife, botanical, and visual resources. In particular, White Pine should consider potential impacts to hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities through a detailed analysis of wildlife habitat and likely population impacts. Big-game hunting for species like mule deer and elk form an important part of the local economy. Impacts to populations of these species from habitat degradation and fragmentation could severely curtail recreational opportunities for local residents and seasonal visitors. The connection between the recreation economy and wildfire [sic] thus underscores the need for a thorough and comprehensive wildlife study. Cultural Resources The cultural resources study proposal appears to minimize the area’s significance to Native American communities. The study plan states that “White Pine is not aware of any properties of traditional religious

The Recreation Resources Study will include an inventory of existing recreation resources and opportunities, and an analysis of potential effects of Project operations. Information on dispersed recreation activities and the lands on which they occur will be included.
White Pine proposes separate studies of wildlife habitat; rare, threatened and endangered wildlife species; aquatic resources; and botanical resources. All study results will be integrated and presented in the Draft License Application. Also, a socioeconomic analysis will be presented in the Draft License Application and will include analysis of potential Project impacts on hunting and other recreation and tourist activities. White Pine has engaged with potentially affected Native American tribes regarding the Project and will continue to engage with Native American tribes throughout the process to ensure tribal resources and concerns are considered.

The area in which the project is proposed is within the ancestral territory of the Western Shoshone (Newe) people. Newe hunter-gatherers have lived in the area for over 10,000 years, and the abundant plant and animal life in the Duck Creek basin helped sustain them through the winter. In addition, Steptoe Valley was the site of a traditional pine-nut gathering ground and annual ceremony.

The region’s current indigenous residents continue the traditions of their ancestors in the areas that will be destroyed, transformed, or otherwise affected by the Project. Any potential impact on indigenous cultural activities must be carefully considered before White Pine commits to further Project development. In addition, there are likely thousands of years of Newe artifacts located within and around the proposed construction site. It is absolutely critical that White Pine consult with knowledgeable tribal representatives before embarking on any development, as this project has the potential to destroy thousands of years of history. Aquatic Resources Delineation White Pine states that the goal of its aquatic resources delineation study is to “assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.” This study objective is woefully insufficient to capture the full extent of potential impacts to aquatic resources and groundwater.

recommends a full hydrogeologic study, along with a comprehensive survey of surface water features that may be affected by the project. The survey of surface water features should go beyond jurisdictional waters to cover all springs, streams, wetlands, and intermittent/ephemeral watercourses. While establishing Section 404 jurisdiction is an important prerequisite for any energy development project, it is by no means sufficient for understanding the impacts of this particular project. White Pine’s proposal to construct and fill two reservoirs within the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin has the potential to significantly alter the hydrology of the area, with consequences to aquatic ecosystems, wildlife, and water availability. Steptoe Valley is part of the Basin and Range province, which contains complex groundwater flow systems within both individual basins and interconnected carbonite aquifers. One typical aquifer type in Eastern Nevada is the Cenozoic valley or basin-fill. Much of the groundwater in this region flows through these basin-fill deposits, with mountains serving as boundaries of some of the flow systems. Another aquifer type is Paleozoic carbonate rock, which commonly underlies the basins and provides hydraulic connections under mountains between basins. Groundwater flow in this deeper, older aquifer is generally south to south-west, from east-central Nevada toward Ash Meadows, Death Valley, or Lake Mead. Many surface water features are sustained, at least proximately, by the basin-fill aquifer. However, the carbonate aquifer also directly supports some springs and wetlands. Understanding the specific connections between these aquifers, the sources of recharge and discharge for each, and the ecosystems they support, is critical to understanding the hydrologic impacts of the

Extracting water from one or both aquifers and transporting it to the surface for power generation could dramatically alter the hydrology of the area, affecting both water availability and groundwater-dependent ecosystems. White Pine must also consider how much water will be consumed by the project through evaporation and other losses. Center-17 In sum, given the complexity of Nevada’s See response to Center-13 groundwater resource, the scarcity of water in general, and the importance of groundwater to both the desert environment and the local economy, White Pine must do far more with respect to water resources than the proposed jurisdictional determination.

The Nevada Northern Railway requests that photosimulation of the proposed Project facilities be made beginning where the proposed realignment of the existing railroad track starts and continues to where the railroad track accesses its current alignment. Since the passengers on the railroad train see multiple viewpoints, we want to see photosimulation of proposed Project facilities every 660 feet on the new alignment. Additionally, these photosimulations should be 360 degrees in scope and show the views during the day and at night. We are especially concerned on the impact of your Project facilities will have on our night skies. In 4.2.4 Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities, you state that, “White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing.” The Nevada Northern Railway’s railroad track needs the same type of consideration that is being given to roads as stated in section 4.2.4.

White Pine and its environmental resource consultants access to the train. Lastly, a final determination has yet to be made on 1) whether a realignment of the track will be required; and 2) what length of track would potentially be realigned. White Pine will review potential KOP locations along the existing and proposed alignment during the viewshed analysis, including for dark skies and daytime views. However, the overall intent of the visual and aesthetic resources study is to assess representative views of the Project from many different locations and for many different users within the study area, not just for users of the NNR.
NNR falls into a “use area” as a recreational facility, and as such would have the same type of analysis given to roads.
White Pine agrees and anticipates that moving the railroad track will be an adverse effect under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Possible realignment of any portion of the NNR is yet to be determined and is subject to engineering and design processes which are currently underway.

The Nevada Northern Railway has built a strong and successful astro-tourism program in partnership with the rangers from Great Basin National Park. We use the HiLine branch for our astro-tourism programs….Since the program happens in the evening and 99% of the participants are from outside White Pine County, the tourists who ride our astrotourism trains spend the night in White Pine County.

Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway needs to know what White Pine’s strategy is to accomplish receiving an Act of Congress to convert federal land to private land. If White Pine cannot succeed in receiving the Act of Congress, then the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway need an acknowledgement from White Pine that the railroad track does not move. The Study Plan mentions that “White Pine will conduct a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the APE to verify locations of previously recorded cultural resources and to identify previously unknown cultural resources in the APE.” Additionally, it states that “The survey will consist of crew members walking parallel transects spaced up to 30 meters (m) apart for ground surface inspection.” Any access of the railroad right-of-way and track will need the permission of the Nevada Northern Railway for access. The railroad track in the survey area is considered controlled track under Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49: Transportation, Part 214— Railroad Workplace Safety.

Section 4.2.4 states, “As such, the report will only be distributed to interested tribes, FERC, BLM, and SHPO for review and comment as part of the NHPA Section 106 consultation process…” This is unacceptable to the Nevada Northern Railway. The report needs to be made public as it relates to the Nevada Northern Railway. Furthermore the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation should receive a copy of the entire report. If the report needs to be “privileged”, the Foundation will honor that requirement. Recreation Resources Study The White Pine study plan states the following in regards to recreation:

Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project.… The Nevada Northern Railway objects to the premise of the section that the, “Construction of the Project may (emphasis added) have the potential to affect recreation facilities…” The Nevada Northern Railway wants to see the premise of this section changed from “may” to “will”. The Nevada Northern Railway wants White Pine to acknowledge that their Project will change and have a major impact on the area, especially the Nevada Northern Railway and its operations. The Nevada Northern Railway has developed recreational facilities within the study area. The biggest one is the Star Platform that was just doubled in size this spring. The Star Platform serves as an anchor for our very popular astro-tourism programs. These program are successful due to the region’s dark skies. This popularity of astro-tourism has increased the number trains that utilize this area to three a week with a possible increase projected in 2022. Additionally the Nevada Northern Railway is anticipating using the Star Platform for non-train related astro-tourism programing. It is envisioned that tourists would convoy out to the Star Platform in their vehicles to participate in a Dark Skies program. Additionally, the Nevada Northern Railway is creating a program that utilizes the parallel service road as a bike trail. In cooperation with and in support of the White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board the Nevada Northern Railway will premier Rails to Trails in 2021. This program will allow bicyclists to take their bicycle on the train to the end of the HiLine. Once

Possible realignment of any portion of the NNR is yet to be determined and is subject to engineering and design processes which are currently in review.
White Pine intends to identify, assess, and address Project effects on NNR’s excursions and activities, including the astro-tourism components and the dark skies on which they rely. For example, if the current location of the Star Platform will be impacted by Project development, White Pine will consult with NNR, BLM, and NPS to identify an acceptable alternative location suitable for a Star Platform and related activities. White Pine appreciates NNR’s explanation of the number of astro-tourism excursions per week. We would like to continue consultation with NNR to understand the number of participants, future plans for expansion, and how private vehicle access will be developed and integrated with train excursions. White Pine welcomes the opportunity to discuss our potential role in supporting bike trails, electric railbikes, and private vehicle access to the Star Platform.

there, the bicyclists will get off the train and ride their bicycles back to Ely. We expect this to be a very popular program. White Pine’s Resource Study Plan is using out-ofdate information on the use of the HiLine. This is illustrated in the following statement: Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. This quote is wrong and out-of-date: the railroad has evolved. The astro-tourism programs and the new Rails-to-Trails program has caused to use the HiLine Branch three to four times a week with additional trains programed for 2022 to use that branch. Furthermore, the Nevada Northern Railway is in the process of developing an electric railbike program to use the HiLine Branch. This program will rent electricassisted railbikes to the public to operate on the HiLine branch. The HiLine branch was chosen for this program because of its views and remoteness. A pilot program is being developed for 2021. It is anticipated that the program will be a success and that the program will expand in 2022 to daily operations on the HiLine branch. Section 4.2 Study Methods, Section 4.2.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment, and Section 4.2.3 all raise concerns. It appears that the essence of these sections is to have the visitors and passengers of the Nevada Northern Railway prove to White Pine that the experience of riding the train is worthwhile.

The Nevada Northern Railway realizes the need for a Visitor Use Assessment, but we object to the way that White Pine proposes to go about it. The Visitor Use Assessment needs to be done by an independent third party that is mutually agreed on by the Nevada Northern Railway, White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board, and White Pine. The Nevada Northern Railway will insist on veto power over the questions being asked and methodology of collecting the information. The Nevada Northern Railway already has successful programs that use the existing track. It is up to White Pine to prove that the possible realignment will not harm these programs. The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation agrees with the National Park Service that one study that is noticeably missing in your proposed Study Plan is a Socioeconomic Study. Along with the National Park Service the Foundation has also requested a Socioeconomic Study. Over the course of the last 37 years the Foundation has built a program that has gone from 2,000 visitors a year to almost 30,000.

White Pine welcomes NNR’s specific comments on the elements of the survey instrument. White Pine does not agree that an independent third party administrator is warranted for the survey. White Pine has engaged the consulting services of qualified environmental, cultural, and recreation professionals to develop and lead the studies to be conducted. White Pine is very interested in cooperating with NNR to collect survey data. For example, NNR personnel could administer the surveys with support from White Pine and its consultant. As a first step, White Pine will appreciate NNR’s explanation of how moving the track could potentially affect customer experience, especially as it relates to the astro-tourism excursions which occur in the dark. White Pine intends to conduct a socioeconomic impact analysis of the proposed Project, the findings of which will be included in the License Application to be filed with the FERC. The methods to be used are standard, and White Pine will make analysis methods available to NNR and other stakeholders. Information from NNR on the number of customers and basic demographics (e.g., where customers travel from for the HiLine excursions) will inform this analysis.

December 19, 2019 and March 1, 2021. White Pine will appreciate receiving other Department data if they show occurrences of these species in the Project vicinity. Additionally, as noted in the 2nd paragraph of Section 4.2.3, if any areas are found to have suitable habitat for springsnails, pre-construction surveys will be conducted to determine if springsnails are present and will be depicted in the study report. The study plan will be revised to include this change. Noted that these species could occur in the study area. However, neither of these species are mentioned as protected in NAC 503.075, and the status described in the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan for these species does not indicate that they could be considered a Rare, Threatened, or Endangered species. Therefore, there is no reason to include these species in Table 2. The study plan will be revised to state that the sandhill crane could occur but is unlikely to nest. To White Pine’s knowledge (including queries of Department-provided data) there have been no direct observations of sage grouse in the Project area. The study plan will be revised accordingly. A known peregrine falcon nest is not included in the Department request responses for this project dated December 19, 2019 and March 1, 2021. See response to County-77. See response to County-6.

Aesthetic / Visual Resources Study Plan: The PLUAC wanted to re-iterate the concern over aesthetic / visual resources particularly as it relates to impacts to dark night skies. In addition, they raised specific concerns given the project’s proximity to the existing rail corridor and the importance of dark skies to the evening train events such as the Astronomy Train Borrow Materials and Pits: The PLUAC understands that the project may require substantial quantities of gravel, and other specific soil materials for construction of the dams, reservoirs, etc. As such, the borrow sites for these materials need to be identified and impacts related to mining and processing these materials need to be considered in all appropriate Studies. Bonding: The PLUAC is interested in understanding what bonding requires will be put in place by both the FERC and BLM to ensure that any impacts to natural resources (soils, vegetation, wildlife, etc.) are rehabilitated in the event that the project is terminated during construction or operations due to unforeseen financial challenges. The PLUAC recommends that such financial assurances are put in place as a condition of any approval. Wildlife Issues: For both the TES and Recreational Studies, Game Management Units 221 and 222 should be added to the analysis, particularly given the known linkage of elk migrating between Unit 111 and 221/222, often times through and around the proposed project location. That portion of the project located in the Steptoe Valley is likely nesting habitat for Long-billed curlew. This species should be identified as existing within the project area.

Dark night skies will be assessed during analysis of potential effects of the Project on aesthetics, which will include assessment of the evening star-viewing train.
White Pine is in the process of Project design and construction planning. As plans and proposals for construction are developed in more detail, White Pine comply with all permitting requirements necessary to obtain construction material.
FERC oversees project financing, and typically requires an approved Documentation of Financing prior to beginning construction. White Pine expects that bonding will be a condition of the BLM ROW grant for the Project, following BLM’s National Policy for Rights-of-Way Bonding (IM-2019-13). These game management units will be included in the analysis of potential effects of the project on game species.
Upon further review of habitat requirements for this species, the study plan will be revised to say that this species is expected to occur and it will be included as a target species in the habitat assessment portion of the study.

Based on the study area figure, portions of Steptoe Valley and the Duck Creek Basin are within the study area and will be considered as part of the visual and aesthetic resources study. The Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study report will describe impacts to existing visual quality and identify any potential modifications to the proposed Project facilities to conform to the existing visual setting. The results of study will guide development of visual resource protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures. White Pine will provide a socioeconomics report in the Draft License Application which identifies and quantifies the impacts of constructing and operating the proposed Project on employment, population, housing, personal income, local governmental services, local tax revenues and other factors within the towns and counties in the vicinity of the proposed project (18 CFR 4.41(f)(5)). Publicly available information and information provided by NNR will be included in the report.

The hunting and fishing was extraordinary and Duck Creek was rich with plant life, so the Hunter-Gathers prepared for winter – and stayed for quite some time.
Newe Artifacts from Thousands of years of inhabiting this route still remain in Duck Creek Basin, Duck Creek Range, and Duck Creek. The Construction site for the Duck Creek to mountain top roads & the pumping station at Duck Creek especially, are all prime locations for those historical Newe artifacts that accumulated there for thousands of years. Thousands of years of Newe history will be destroyed by this project! This Duck Creek route to Spring Valley is the one used by the US Cavalry during the First Spring Valley Massacre of the Newe. The Cavalry had traveled from Fort Ruby to Egan Canyon and then South to Duck Creek Gap. From there they followed the Newe route to Spring Valley, just as the Newe had done for centuries. Ref: Julian H Seward 1938, History of the State of Nevada, Thomas Wren, 1904 This Newe Route went thru excellent hunting grounds in the Duck Creek area. Newe were Hunter-Gatherers and my ancestors took advantage of the opportunity to harvest game animals, both large and small… The White Pine Pumped Storage Project will degrade and destroy all of this great hunting area.

White Pine acknowledges the plentiful resources used by Native Americans along Duck Creek since time immemorial. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) process to consider issuing a license for a proposed project addresses the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to assess impacts to natural resources and hunting and fishing opportunities. White Pine will conduct a comprehensive suite of studies to assess potential impacts to hunting and fishing resources, and develop appropriate protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures to address identified impacts. White Pine acknowledges that the Project has the potential to impact cultural resources, including precontact archaeological sites. White Pine’s Cultural Resource Study methodology includes a full-coverage Class III pedestrian survey of the Study Area to identify, document, and evaluate cultural resources. White Pine will develop proposed protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures based on study findings. Historic era artifacts and properties are considered in the study methods. White Pine will incorporate this history into the Cultural Resources Study report and will consider this information during the Class III pedestrian survey of the Study Area. See response to comment Spilsbury-2.

hunters will be deprived of the opportunity to hunt lands that they have been using for generations. Moreover, hunters from all over the world, with many assorted weapons, will miss out on sharing the hunting experiences of our culture. We, present day Newe, and non-natives (everyone), will lose the opportunity to Hunt, Gather, and to experience the natural solitude of Duck Creek. Without the encroachment of industry, we have the opportunity to love and enjoy the peace and beauty that is Duck Creek. Losing Duck Creek to an industry that will not benefit White Pine County is not a good trade-off…. We lose Duck Creek and get nothing in return.

Proposed studies are a comprehensive suite designed to assess and understand the habitats, species, and opportunities potentially affected by the Project. The Project will advance with mitigation measures such as habitat enhancement and restoration designed to reduce the impact to habitats and the opportunities they provide. See responses to comments Spilsbury-2 and Spilsbury-5. White Pine believes the White Pine Pumped Storage Project presents opportunities to benefit White Pine County. White Pine County Resolution No. 2019-40 recognizes the Project as having economic and social benefits to the County.

Introduction
This Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of the licensing of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Number 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the specialstatus plants and noxious weeds study (study) conducted in 2021.
1.1
Project Description
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely (Figure 1). The Project is a 1,000-megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage f acility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project would be located entirely of f -stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water to initially f ill the reservoir system and required make-up water f or evaporation losses would be pumped f rom groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County , NV.
1.2
Study Area
The study area was def ined in the Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan (Study Plan) (Appendix A), consisting of all lands projected to be af fected by Project construction and operation f or which access permission was granted , which is approximately 1,698 acres in size (Figure 1). For the purposes of this report, the study area is separated into f our components (Figure 2). These consist of : •
The proposed upper reservoir vicinity, which is the portion of the study area east of the highest elevation point of the Duck Creek Range. This portion is approximately 337 acres in size.
•
The proposed conveyance channel vicinity, which is the portion of the study area in between the proposed upper reservoir vicinity and the Nevada Northern Railroad’s McGill High Line. This portion is approximately 271 acres in size.
•
The proposed lower reservoir vicinity, which is the portion of the study area between the proposed conveyance channel vicinity and US Highway 93. This portion is approximately 352 acres in size.
•
The proposed transmission corridor, which is 250 f eet wide, consisting of the portion of the study area starting at the southwest corner of the proposed lower reservoir vicinity and continuing westward. This portion is approximately 738 acres in size.
1.3
Environmental Setting
The study area occurs between elevation 6,140 and 8,650 f eet above mean sea level in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada (United States Geologic Survey 2012). The average temperatures range f rom 39.0 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 86.9 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The average annual rainf all f or the period of record (1892-2016) in the study area is 8.86 inches,

which is partially comprised of an average annual snowf all of 22.10 inches (Western Regional Climate Center 2021). Broadly, the study area is dominated by sagebrush scrub in the lower elevation areas and pinyon juniper woodland in the higher elevation areas. A riparian woodland occurs at the east end of t he study area. Chaparral habitat types also occur in the study area in intermediate elevation range areas. Seasonal cattle grazing occurs throughout the study area. Specif ic vegetation types are mapped in the 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Study Report (HDR 2021a) f or the Project with descriptions and a detailed map included therein. The sagebrush scrub in the study area is dominated by a mixture of little sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), and mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana) in the shrub community, along with scattered occurrences of broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), and rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa). In some isolated areas, big sagebrush is the dominant species. A steppe f orm of this habitat also occurs in the study area, with lesser cover of woody shrubs and greater cover of grasses such as thi ckspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii), and Indian rice grass (Achnatherum hymenoides). Stands of chaparral or mountain mahogany woodland can occur in this habitat in which antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) or curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) is the dominant species. The pinyon-juniper woodland is a mix of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single-leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) with variable dominance of both species in the tree community, along with some occurrences of the same species f ound in sagebrush scrub in the shrub community, most notably matted wild buckwheat. The density of shrub sp ecies is directly correlated with how open the canopy is, with tree canopy cover of approximately 5 to 75 percent in the study area. A juniper savannah-like habitat occurs around the proposed reservoir locations that is similar to the steppe f orm of sagebrush scrub but differs in having cover of mature Utah juniper trees. A closed canopy riparian woodland occurs at the east end of the study area in Duck Creek. This habitat is dominated by barren ground willow (Salix boothii) along with some occurrences of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) and one isolated stand of Arizona cypress (Callitropsis arizonica) in the tree community. The shrub community is dominated by narrow leaf willow (Salix exigua), golden currant (Ribes aureum), and Woods’ rose (Rosa woodsii). Some open patches dominated by herbs occur in this habitat along creek banks, which are dominated by woolly yarrow (Achillea millefolium), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). The most common herbaceous species observed in the study area were cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus), James’ cryptantha (Cryptantha cinera var. abortiva), f lat spine sheepbur (Lappula occidentalis), long spur lupine (Lupinus arbustus), northwestern Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia var. dubia), and Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii).

Methods
The study was conducted in compliance with the study plan (Appendix A). No variances f rom the study plan were required.
2.1
Definitions and Standards
As def ined in the study plan, special-status plants are those plants that are (1) listed under the f ederal Endangered Species Act (ESA) as proposed or a candidate f or listing as endangered , threatened or proposed f or delisting; (2) listed by the State of Nevada as critically endangered; or (3) f ound on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and f ormally listed as sensitive. Cactus species were also surveyed because the State of Nevada protects all species of cactus under Title 47, Chapter 527, §060 through §120 of Nevada Revised Statutes, and the BLM also protects all species of native cactus on BLM lands in Nevada. Noxious weeds are those plants that are included in the State of Nevada Noxious Weed List (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2021). Although not a designated noxious weed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, cheatgrass was also surveyed using the methodology applied to noxious weeds. Documentation of all species observed used the taxonomy and nomenclature standard of the Integrated Taxonomic Inf ormation System Thesaurus f ilter of the Intermountain Region Herbarium Network (Intermountain Region Herbarium Network 2021).
2.2
Database Search
The U.S. Fish and Wildlif e Service (USFWS) Inf ormation f or Planning and Consultation System was reviewed f or ESA-listed plant species within 5 miles of the study area (USFWS 2021). Additionally, a list of BLM sensitive plants known to occur in White Pine County was downloaded and reviewed (BLM 2017; Nevada Division of Natural Heritage 2019), and records of these species were analyzed (Intermountain Region Herbarium Network 2021). Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil data f or the study area was also reviewed to obtain inf ormation about unique soils that are sometimes required by special-status species (NRCS 2021a, 2021b).
2.3
Preparation for the Study
WPW prepared f ield maps and global positioning system (GPS) units f or use in conducting f ield work. Forms were created to document inf ormation from the f ield in a consistent manner. Vegetation mapping surveys and vegetation transect measurements f or sage grouse habitat , were conducted under related study ef f orts earlier in the year (HDR 2021a, 2021b) (Table 1). Inf ormation f rom these studies served as site reconnaissance to compile photographs documenting site conditions, determine access and saf ety issues, and initiate a list of plant species in the study area. During a pre-study meeting, this inf ormation was shared with f ield crew members to f amiliarize them with the study area, discuss the survey methodology, and address safety concerns.

Field Methodology
The study was f loristic in nature and f ollowed the study plan, which conf orms to the intuitive controlled survey f ound in Survey Protocols Required for NEPA and ESA Compliance for BLM Special Status Plant Species (BLM 2009). The surveyors used meandering transects to survey the study area f or special-status plant species. These transects were located in areas of suitable habitat and surveyors were spaced approximately 50 to 100 f eet apart, with spacing varying according to habitat type and shrub or tree density. Field leads directed the intensity of survey coverage in any given area based on slope, habitat suitability f or special-status plants, and shrub or tree density. Plant species were identif ied in the f ield or collected for later identif ication. Any observed special status plant and discrete noxious weed populations were mapped with a GPS unit, and data were collected on the number of individuals. For special-status species, f ield crews collected inf ormation on site characteristics such as slope, aspect, soil texture, and associated species. Data on widespread populations of noxious weeds were collected in a manner to describe where they occur and provide an approximate population estimate. Noxious weed populations, when f irst f ound, are treated as discreet and mapped accordingly and only considered widespread af ter enough of the study area is surveyed and the noxious weed is f ound f requently enough to cease discreet mapping. For this study, widespread is defined as that the species occurs in more than 5 percent of the study area.
2.5
Survey Timing
Inf ormation collected during the study, as well as other studies that involved analyzing vegetation, was used to inf orm the results of the study. Table 1 depicts the survey timing, purpose of the survey, and number of personnel involved . Each survey day consisted of approximately 7 to 9 survey hours.

Results
3.1
Database Search
As discussed in the White Pine Pumped Storage Project Pre-Application Document (WPW 2020), no ESA-listed plant species were f ound in the f irst search of the Inf ormation f or Planning and Consultation System. A f ollow-up review in the Inf ormation f or Planning and Consultation System also f ound no records of ESA-listed plant species (USFWS 2021). Additionally, no plant species on the list of State of Nevada Critically Endangered Plant species known or with potential to occur in White Pine County were determined to have the potential to occur in the study area. Eight BLM sensitive plant species were determined to have the potential to occur in the study area (Table 2) (WPW 2020).

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Pumped Storage, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decisionmaking regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study plans for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals The construction, operation, and maintenance of the reservoirs and associated proposed transmission corridor has the potential to affect special-status plants or increase the potential for the spread of noxious weeds in Nevada. The goal of this study is to determine the potential occurrence of these species in all areas affected by Project construction and operation. Special-status plants are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); or (3) listed by the State of Nevada as critically endangered. Noxious weeds are plants defined as noxious weeds by the State of Nevada in Category A, B, or C (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2019). White Pine will assess the nature and degree of the Project’s likely effects on special-status plants and noxious weeds. These effects may be direct (for example, ground-disturbing activities such as mechanical or chemical clearing of vegetation or trampling of plants), indirect (for example, construction activity that results in erosion of adjacent land), or cumulative (caused by a Project activity in association with a non-Project activity, such as loss of habitat attributable to the introduction of invasive plants from a non-Project vector). The study will provide information to determine the extent to which certain Project activities may have the potential to adversely affect botanical resources. A Project effect may exist if both of the following occur: Page 1

• •
A botanical resource is found to occur within the study area, as defined below in Section 4.1; and A specific Project activity has a reasonable possibility of having an adverse effect on the botanical resource found.
The goal of this study is to gather the information necessary to perform this analysis and evaluate the Project’s potential to adversely affect botanical resources.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information associated with the Project can be found in the Pre-Application Document (PAD) (White Pine 2020). Database queries for this Study Plan reviewed an approximate 5-mile buffer surrounding the proposed Project facilities, including the proposed transmission line corridor. According to the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) System Report (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2020), no plant species listed under the ESA are known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Three State of Nevada Critically Endangered plant species have the potential to occur in White Pine County. As explained in Table 5.8-1 of the PAD, none of these are expected to occur in the study area because of a lack of required soils, habitat, or records in White Pine County. Table 1 lists the BLM special-status species identified in the PAD that have the potential to occur in the transmission study area.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
The study approach will consist of four steps, as discussed in the following sections.
4.2.1
Step 1 – Gather Data and Prepare for Field Effort
White Pine will prepare maps for use by survey teams in the field. The maps will include aerial imagery and the study area boundary. Survey timing will be planned based on blooming periods and/or herbarium collection dates of species in the general area.
4.2.2
Step 2 – Conduct Field Surveys
The surveyors will conduct botanical resource surveys that follow the BLM Special-Status Plant Protocol for an Intuitive Controlled Survey (BLM 2009). Field surveys will be conducted at the times of year when botanical resources potentially occurring in the study area are both evident and identifiable, generally during their flowering and/or fruiting period. It is expected that the first survey will occur in the late-spring and the second survey in mid-summer. Page 4

Document Accession #: 20220217-5181
Filed Date: 02/17/2022 White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study Plan
Surveys will use a random meander technique and focus additional efforts in high-quality habitats or those with a higher probability of supporting special-status plants (for example, stream channels). Surveys will be floristic in nature with documentation of all species observed using a taxonomy and nomenclature standard of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System Thesaurus filter of the Intermountain Region Herbarium Network (Intermountain Region Herbarium Network 2019). Appropriate survey methods generally require multiple survey passes of suitable habitats.
4.2.2.1
Methods Specific to Special-status Plants
In the event any occurrence of cactus species are found in the study area, GPS data and a population estimate will be made of that occurrence. In the event occurrences of BLM special-status plants are found in the study area, the following information will be collected: • •
• • • • •
4.2.2.2
Digital photographs (both large and small scale) to depict the species and its habitat (one set per species); If an occurrence is estimated to cover an area greater than 0.05 acre, surveyors will delineate the occurrence boundary using a handheld GPS, collecting either polygon data or sufficient point data such that a realistic polygon can be constructed from the point data using a geographic information system (GIS); For occurrences less than 0.05 acre in size, the location of the approximate center of the occurrence will be taken as point data using a handheld GPS unit; Estimated population total; A list of the three to five of the most common species in the immediate vicinity; A generalized soil description of the immediate area (for example, gravelly soils, streambed, limestone outcrop); and Level of disturbance in the immediate area.
Methods Specific to Noxious Weeds
In the event that State of Nevada designation A noxious weed plants, listed on Table 2, are found in the study area, surveyors will collect the following data to the edge of the occurrence, or to the edge of the study area if the occurrence goes beyond it: • •
• •
Digital photographs to depict the species and its habitat (one set per species); If an occurrence is estimated to cover an area greater than 0.05 acre, surveyors will delineate the occurrence boundary using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit, collecting either polygon data or sufficient point data such that a realistic polygon can be constructed from the point data using GIS; For occurrences less than 0.05 acre in size, the location of the approximate center of the occurrence will be taken as point data using a handheld GPS unit; and Estimated population total.
If a designation A noxious weed plant population is determined to be widespread throughout more than 5 percent of the study area, or occurs frequently in a specific habitat in the study area, that species will not have GPS data collected. Instead, a detailed description of that specie’s distribution will be recorded in field notes and included in the study report. State of Nevada designation B and C noxious weed species, if found, will be noted in field notes and described in the study report. Areas greater than 1 acre in size determined to have a high concentration Page 5

of designation B or C noxious weed species will be delineated on field maps or on handheld GPS units and included in the study report. Although not included in Table 2, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) will be noted and mapped as if it were a B or C noxious weed species.
4.2.3
Step 3 – Compile Data and Perform Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Following field surveys, White Pine will develop separate GIS maps depicting special-status plants and noxious weed occurrences. Field data will then be subject to quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures, including spot-checks of transcription and comparison of GIS maps with field notes to verify locations of botanical resource occurrences.
4.2.4
Step 4 – Report Development
White Pine will prepare a report that includes study goals, methodology, and results. White Pine will make the report available to Relicensing Participants upon completion.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning ..................................................................................................... January – February 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................April – September 2021 Study Report Preparation ........................................................................ October – November 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report. The Report will be incorporated into the Draft License Application.

Introduction
This Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of the licensing of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Number 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the Greater SageGrouse Lek and Habitat Study (study) conducted in 2021.
1.1
Project Description
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000-megawatt, closedloop, pumped storage facility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project would be located entirely of f-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water to initially f ill the reservoir system and required make-up water f or evaporation losses would be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. The proposed 345 kV transmission line is located within a designated energy corridor included in the West-Wide Energy Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (USDOE 2008). The proposed transmission line will parallel an existing transmission line in this corridor.
1.2
Study Area
The Project area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors (Figure 1): the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, currently anticipated laydown yards, and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200-f oot-buffer surrounding each f acility. The study area was def ined in the Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan (study plan) (Appendix A) as all lands consisting of greater sage-grouse habitat projected to be affected by Project construction and operation. For each task described in Section 2, the study area encompasses the entire Project area plus the f ollowing buffer areas: •
Task 1 (noise impact analysis), Task 2 (lek monitoring), and Task 4 (habitat suitability): All known leks within 3.1 miles of the Project area.
•
Task 3 (Conservation Credit System [CCS] analysis): The Project area plus a buf fer of 6 kilometers on each side of the proposed transmission line and between 3 and 6 kilometers around other Project components, as determined through coordination with the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT).
The sage-grouse habitat management areas (Priority, General, Other, and Non-habitat) depicted in Figure 1 are the habitat management areas mapped f or the 2015 BLM Nevada and North Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (Bureau of Land Management [BLM] 2015).

Methods
The study was conducted in compliance with the study plan (Appendix A). No variances f rom the study plan were required.
2.1
Noise Impact Analysis
A noise impact study was completed to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction and operation of the Project. WPW consulted with NDOW regarding the protocol, monitoring locations, and instrumentation f or the study and noise monitoring, and based on that consultation, the noise impact study was perf ormed in accordance with Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA), (BLM 2015); Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (Nevada Department of Wildlife [NDOW] 2018); and the Nevada Department of Wildlif e Interim Sage-Grouse Noise Protocol Clarif ications (NDOW 2020). The ARMPA stipulates that noise as a result of the Project will not increase 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking.
2.1.1
Noise Measurements
NDOW biologists requested that noise monitors be placed at f ive lek locations within the Duck Creek Basin: Paine Meadows lek, Timber Creek Turnof f lek, Berry Creek Turnof f lek, Gilf ord Meadows lek, and the Canyon Springs NE lek. The Paine Meadows lek and Timber Creek Turnof f lek are more than 3.1 miles away f rom the Project area; however, NDOW requested noise measurements be collected at these leks to better model current and projected noise f rom traffic on Duck Creek Road (State Route 486) in the Duck Creek Basin. Construction noise modeling results are not reported f or the Paine Meadows lek and the Timber Creek lek because they are more than 3.1 miles away f rom the Project. Additionally, due to limited information at this time, noise f rom construction traffic on State Route 486 could not be modeled, so measurements collected at Timber Creek and Paine Meadows will be used in subsequent models as additional engineering and planning inf ormation becomes available. Noise monitoring systems were deployed on May 4, 2021 and collected on May 18, 2021. Monitoring locations are shown in Figure2 below. Monitoring locations were 1/4 mile away f rom lek sites and between the lek site and to the nearest Project location (f or Canyon Springs and Gilf ord Meadows), or 1/4 mile away f rom the lek site at the same distance to the nearest roadway as the lek site (Berry Creek Turnof f , Timber Creek Turnof f , and Paine Meadows). Minor adjustments were made in the f ield as needed based on constraining terrain and other f eatures in the area.

Instrumentation HDR used Larson-Davis 831C digital sound level meters with PCB 378A04 low-noise microphones. Continuous audio recordings were captured during the measurements by Roland R-05 digital audio recorders attached to the sound level meters. The system noise f loor, or the level created by unwanted signals within a measurement system, was 5.5-5.6 A-weighted decibels (dBA) f or all systems. The instrumentation was f ield-calibrated prior to and upon completion of each measurement to a ref erence level traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology using a Larson-Davis Cal200 handheld calibrator. The sound level meters and handheld calibrator meet Class 1/Type 1 precision requirements of ANSI and International Electrotechnical Commission standards. All instrumentation used to measure noise levels on this Project is calibrated on a regular basis by an independent accredited calibration laboratory using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Data Processing Data were processed according to the NDOW protocols (NDOW 2018, 2020). Although data were captured f rom May 4 through 18, only data through May 15 were included in the processing, based on NDOW guidance. Noise f loor corrections were calculated and applied to the hourly dBA metrics at each location. Summary metrics, including statistical sound levels (Ln), were calculated as the arithmetic mean of noise-f loor-corrected hourly values within the specif ied time periods across the entire measurement period, with the exception of the maximum sound level recorded during a given period (Lmax ) and minimum sound level recorded during a given period (Lmin). Audio captured during the measurements was reviewed to determine typical noise sources at each site. Audio f iles were reviewed in 10-second intervals every f our minutes f or two f ull days at each site, including one weekday and one weekend day.
2.1.2
Noise Modeling
Project-related noise levels, including anticipated construction noise at the upper and lower reservoir sites, and operational noise were modeled using the three-dimensional environmental noise analysis program Computer Aided Noise Abatement (Cadna-A). Cadna-A is based on International Organization f or Standardization (ISO) 9613, “Attenuation of Sound during Propagation Outdoors” (ISO 9613-2 1996). The model incorporates the ef f ects of topography and typical weather conditions, and attenuation due to atmospheric absorption and ground absorption. Weather conditions were set to 7⁰ C and 50% relative humidity to represent typical conditions during lekking season. Ground absorption was set to 0.5 to account f or the mix of vegetation and rocky soil in the Project area. ISO 9613 includes downwind propagation f rom all noise sources to all receptors, a conservative assumption that may not ref lect prevailing wind patterns in the area. Topography was modeled with 10-f oot contours f rom the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Receptors were set at lek center points with a height of 0.3 meter to represent sage-grouse ear height. Model inputs and results are given as the equivalent level, or logarithmic average of sound levels recorded over a period of time (Leq), assuming constant operation at maximum load. However, compliance is determined by L50 measurements. This is the sound level that is exceeded 50 percent

of the time during a given period and is, thus, also the median sound level. In cases where noise emissions are predicted to be constant, such as ventilation noise when the Project is operational, Leq is a reasonable approximation of L50. However, when noise levels are sporadic or variable (such as during construction, or noise f rom traffic pass-bys), the modeled Leq is likely to exceed the measured L50. The dif ference could be quite large, depending on the loudness and the duration of the noise. For example, a loud noise that lasted less than 50% of a given period could strongly elevate the Leq but have a minimal ef f ect on the L50, depending on the ambient noise during the rest of the period. Corona noise f rom the power transmission lines was estimated using the CFI8X model developed by Bonneville Power Administration. Traf f ic noise of workers driving to and from the Project f acilities was not modeled at this time, pending vehicle volumes and mixes and construction schedules.

Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring
HDR completed sage-grouse lek monitoring during the spring of 2021 at eight known lek locations identif ied by NDOW (Table 1) that are located within 3.1 miles of the Project, as required by the ARMPA (BLM 2015). Field biologists followed the NDOW Sage-Grouse Lek Count Protocol and conducted counts at each lek three times during breeding season, between March 1 and May 1, 2021. During each lek count, if birds were present, biologists conducted three counts at 15-minute intervals. If no birds were observed, biologists searched the lekking areas on f oot for sage-grouse sign.

The results of this analysis will be used to determine both the debits incurred by the Project and potential credits available to offset the debits.
2.3.1
Debit Project Analysis
HDR coordinated with the SETT to complete a debit evaluation f or the Project. The debit project began by completing the Debit Project Review Form and submitting it to the SETT f or use throughout the lif e of the debit project. The CCS User’s Guide version 1.6.21 was f ollowed to complete a desktop analysis of the Habitat Quantif ication Tool (HQT) using a geographic inf ormation system (GIS). This analysis included def ining a debit project area based upon the proposed Project surf ace disturbance, identif ying existing anthropogenic disturbances, and delineating map units to determine transect locations f or the f ield survey that were submitted to the SETT f or review. The SETT identif ied 97 transect locations. Those transects were surveyed during the 2021 growing season, May 2 to 8, 2021, to get accurate site-scale data f or the Debit Project Calculator. At each 50-meter-long transect, biologists estimated vegetation coverage and diversity using the line intercept method and Daubenmire plots. The f ield data were collected using iPads with the ESRI Collector map, the Survey123 application, and 1-meter Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Following the completion of field work, the transect data were entered into the Debit Project Calculator v1.6.21 to determine the number of debits that the Project is estimated to incur. The estimated debits that are a result of this analysis will be valid f or 5 years. The f ield data and debit calculator were packaged f or submittal to the SETT by f inalizing transect datasheets, transect photographs, map unit datasheets, and other applicable forms and shapef iles.

Credit Project Estimate
WPW coordinated with the SETT and local credit developers to determine credit availability within the vicinity of the Project.
2.4
Habitat Suitability
When calculating the number of debits, the Debit Calculator f or the HQT calculates site-scale habitat suitability f or breeding, brood-rearing, and winter habitat, including average sagebrush cover, average sagebrush height, average perennial f orb cover, and average perennial grass cover. These parameters can be compared to the recommended habitat suitability parameters def ined in the BLM’s Sage-grouse Habitat Assessment Framework (HAF) (Stiver et al. 2015) to determine the habitat suitability of greater sage-grouse habitat in the study area. HDR reviewed the GIS data f or Spatially Explicit Modeling of Annual and Seasonal Habitat for Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Nevada and Northeastern California—An Updated Decision-support Tool for Management (Coates et al. 2016) made available by the USGS to map spring (breeding), summer (brood-rearing), and winter habitat in the CCS study area. This data is subdivided into high, moderate, and low value habitat f or each habitat type. HDR compared results f rom vegetation transects located in each high value seasonal habitat type to the output of the Debit Calculator to determine the site-scale habitat suitability f or each high value seasonal habitat type within the study area.

Lek Proximity Analysis
A proximity analysis f or three active greater sage-grouse leks within 3.1 miles of the Project was conducted with GIS to model the line of sight f rom the leks towards the Project area. The ARMPA (BLM 2015) stipulates that no new surf ace disturbance may occur within 3.1 miles of a lek within priority habitat management area, however, this may be subject to change according to ground conditions, such as topographic features. The proximity analysis modeled the line of sight from the ground at each lek and incorporated surrounding ground conditions within the study area.

Noise Modeling Inputs and Results
Noise modeling was conducted f or both construction-related noise and operational noise.
Noise Model Inputs Construction Noise The primary noise-generating construction activity in terms of both duration and volume would be excavation of the upper and lower reservoirs and dam construction. The construction schedule is not known at this time, but construction is expected to last about 5 years. For noise modeling purposes, 12 each of excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks were assumed to be operating at any given time. Sound pressure levels of 85 dBA at 50 f eet f or all equipment were assumed based on the Federal Highway Administration’s Roadway Construction Noise Model (FHWA 2018). For modeling purposes this translates to a sound power level (as compared to the previous sound pressure level) of 117 dBA f or each piece of equipment, or 132 dBA overall sound power level f or each construction area. Because the octave-band characteristics of the equipment are not known at this time, dBA levels were modeled in the 500 Hz band f ollowing ISO 9613-2. For each construction area, this overall sound power level was modeled as an area source encompassing the reservoir f ootprint and a 1000-f oot buf fer to account for spoil and borrow areas. This is a conservative representation of what is expected to be the loudest phase of construction. Construction noise modeling results are shown in Table 6. When the construction schedule is developed, the equipment used f or each phase can be modeled individually f or a more realistic representation of the noise emissions. Noise f rom construction traffic was not quantitatively modeled at this time, however at NDOW’s request, the f ollowing inf ormation is provided to give a qualitative impression of construction traffic noise. During construction, there would be an increase in traf f ic along State Route 486 to reach the upper reservoir. This road and the upper reservoir access road pass within 1 mile of all measured

leks except f or Gilf ord Meadows. Heavy equipment would be moved along these roads during construction mobilization and demobilization. It is anticipated that the heavy equipment operators and support staff would be bused to the upper reservoir area f rom the construction administration yard in the lower reservoir area to minimize extensive personal vehicle traf f ic. It is also anticipated that approximately 100 daily round trips over the course of a 12 hour to 20 hour work day to the upper reservoir along State Route 486 are expected, primarily pickup trucks and equipment maintenance vehicles used f or engineering inspections and construction management purposes. Bus trips would be concentrated during shif t changes, which could elevate the L50 during those hours, but have no ef f ect on levels during other times. Shif t changes could be scheduled to avoid the period f rom two hours bef ore to two hours af ter sunrise during March 1 and May 15 in order to minimize the impact of traf fic noise on leks.
Operational Noise Above-ground elements of the Project that would generate noise during operation include the f ollowing: •
Ventilation equipment at powerhouse tunnel mouths
•
HVAC equipment at the administration building/warehouse
•
Corona noise f rom transmission lines
•
Staf f traffic
VENTILATION NOISE
Ventilation noise f rom the powerhouse tunnel mouths and the administration building was modeled using Cadna-A. Because the octave-band characteristics of the equipment are not known at this time, dBA levels were modeled in the 500 Hz band f ollowing ISO 9613-2. A sound power level of 110 dBA was assumed f or each of the three sources, as a conservative upper-bound estimate. Operational (ventilation) noise modeling results are shown in Table 6. CORONA NOISE
Corona noise f rom the power transmission lines was calculated using the CFI8X model developed by Bonneville Power Administration (Table 5).

phase lines causing less noise than multi-phase lines. If the existing background ambient level at leks near the transmission line is assumed to be 15 dBA, this puts the cumulative noise limit at 25 dBA, and the limit f or contribution f rom Project operation at 24 dBA. This level is not reached at any distance f rom the transmission line. Global step-up transf ormers are expected to be located underground. The switchyard is not expected to have noise sources other than corona noise. OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC
The Project is expected have up to 24 f ull-time staf f when operational. Traf f ic associated with these jobs will be almost exclusively to and f rom the powerhouse tunnel, which is accessed f rom Highway 93, and would not be near any active or pending leks. Traf f ic along State Route 486 to the upper reservoir would be minimal during operation. Because operational traf f ic is not expected to pass within 1 mile of established leks, operational traffic noise was not modeled.
Noise Modeling Results Modeling results include the cumulative L50 limit at each site based on measured existing L50 and L90 levels and the resulting ef f ective L50 limit f or Project noise emissions only (Table 6). Modeled Project noise emissions represent levels assuming constant, 24-hour operation. For construction noise, noise f rom the upper and lower reservoir excavations are included individually and combined. Levels with an asterisk are in excess of at least one of the time-period based limits at a given location. Modeling results f or projected noise levels are not included f or the Timber Creek lek and the Paine Meadows lek. Both of these leks are more than 3.1 miles away f rom the Project f acilities and thus are not within the buf fer area f or the noise restrictions def ined in the ARMPA. Due to the lek proximity to State Route 486, NDOW requested that noise at these leks be measured because of concerns of increased traf f ic on State Route 486 f rom construction, and these leks may be included in f uture models f or construction traf fic traveling to and f rom the Project upper reservoir f acilities. Additionally, ISO 9613-2 has an uncertainty of +/- 3 dB within 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) of the noise source, assuming a mild temperature inversion and moderate downwind propagation. Uncertainty is assumed to be greater at greater distances and ISO 9613-2 does not provide an estimate f or the magnitude of the uncertainty.

dBA – A-weighted decibel; * - level in excess of at least one limit at this location; L50 – median sound level; L90 – sound level that is exceeded 90 percent of the time in a given period. Source: HDR. The construction noise modeling results show that construction noise is expected to exceed the limits at almost all leks, both with the upper and lower reservoir activities combined and individually. Noise levels during operation are expected to be within the allowable L50 limits at each lek. Although the modeled construction noise levels are very quiet in a typical human context (20-30 dBA is similar to levels experienced in a quiet library), existing levels are quieter still (levels less than 10 dBA would typically not be encountered except in an acoustical laboratory). All noise modeling should be updated when additional details become available, including daily vehicle traf fic to and f rom the Project f acilities, construction schedule, construction equipment, ventilation equipment, and transmission line design. At that point, specific mitigation strategies can be recommended to reduce the ef f ect of construction noise at lek locations.

Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring
HDR biologists monitored eight greater sage-grouse lek locations on March 29-31, April 13-15, and April 27-29, 2021 (Figure 3). Lek survey datasheets are included in Appendix C. Greater sage-grouse were observed at three leks at least once during monitoring (Table 7). •
Male greater sage-grouse were observed strutting at the Canyon Springs NE lek during all three lek counts in 2021, and two f emales were observed at that lek during the f irst count.
•
Males were observed strutting at the Tank Spring West lek during the f irst and second lek counts; no birds were observed there during the third count.
•
Five males were observed at the Gilf ord Meadows lek during the third lek count; two of the males were more than 25 meters f rom the lek in dense sagebrush.
No sage grouse were observed at the Bolo Spring, Central Smith Valley 1, Heusser Mountain S, Locket Spring, or McGill Junction leks. Old scat and cecal tar were observed near the Locket Spring lek; no sign was f ound near the other f our leks.

CCS Analysis
3.3.1
Debit Project Analysis
HDR completed a Debit Project Analysis for the Project using the CCS HQT Version 1.6.21 f ollowing the CCS User’s Guide v1.6.21 (SETT 2021). The desktop portion was completed and submitted to the SETT f or review and concurrence prior to the habitat assessment. HDR biologists conducted vegetation transects at 97 transect locations identif ied by the SETT (Figure 4) f ollowing the CCS User’s Guide v1.6.21 f rom May 2 to May 8, 2021. As required by the ARMPA and Nevada Mitigation Regulation 232.400-232.480, direct and indirect impacts to sage-grouse habitat as a result of the proposed Project were analyzed using the CCS. Prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed, the Project proponent must offset the credit obligation in its entirety, complete an authorized Phased Purchase Agreement, or develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT. If a mitigation plan is developed, it must be approved by the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council. If the entire credit obligation is not mitigated for up f ront, at least 1/3 of the total required compensatory mitigation must be offset prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed. Any balance of a credit obligation (including a f ive percent phasing f actor applied to a balance) would be required to be of fset within 10 years. The estimate of the total debits resulting f rom direct and indirect impacts of the Project is 827 (Table 8). Debits resulting f rom direct and indirect impacts f rom surf ace disturbance that will be reclaimed are Term debits. Debits resulting from direct and indirect impacts f rom surf ace disturbance that are permanent and will not be reclaimed are Permanent debits. If the Project f ootprint changes, the Debit Project Analysis will be revised to address changes.

Credit Estimate
WPW will coordinate directly with a credit developer and the SETT to purchase credits through a Phased Purchase Agreement equal to the debits calculated f or the Project plus debits resulting from a proximity f actor. WPW may also develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT and Sagebrush Ecosystem Council.

Habitat Suitability
Of the 97 transects where vegetation data was collected f or the CCS, 68 transects were located in high-value spring habitat, 75 were in high-value, late-brood rearing habitat, and 1 was in high-value winter habitat. In general, the site-scale habitat suitability parameters f rom transects collected in the study area were within the ranges recommended by the HAF (Table 9). Exceptions include spring average sagebrush cover (14% measures versus 15-25% recommended in the HAF), sagebrush height in summer habitat (17 centimeters [cm] measured versus 40-80 cm recommended), and average sagebrush height in winter habitat (24 cm measured versus greater than 25-35 cm recommended). It should be noted that seasonal habitats within the study area were not mapped in the f ield, rather this analysis was completed using transects where data was collected f or the CCS analysis.

Discussion
4.1
Noise Impact Analysis
Preliminary results of the noise measurements and modeling indicate that operational noise is expected to be within the allowable L50 limits at each lek. However, construction noise is expected to exceed the limits at almost all locations, both with the upper and lower reservoir activities combined and individually. All noise modeling should be updated when additional details become available, including construction schedule, construction equipment, ventilation equipment, and transmission line design. At that point, specific mitigation strategies can be recommended to reduce the ef f ect of construction noise at lek locations.
4.2
Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring
Greater sage-grouse were observed at three lek locations at least once during the lek monitoring, including at the two leks closest to the proposed reservoir f acilities. Ongoing lek monitoring would establish a record of activities at the Canyon Springs NE lek and Gilf ord Meadows lek.
4.3
CCS Analysis
The estimate of the total debits resulting f rom direct and indirect impacts of the Project is 827 debits. If the Project f ootprint changes, the Debit Project Analysis must be revised to include any changes. WPW will coordinate directly with a credit developer and the SETT to purchase credits through a Phased Purchase Agreement equal to the debits calculated f or the Project plus debits resulting from a proximity f actor. WPW may also develop a mitigation plan in coordination with the SETT and Sagebrush Ecosystem Council.
4.4
Habitat Suitability
In general, the site-scale habitat suitability parameters f rom transects collected in the study area were within the parameters recommended by the HAF. Seasonal habitats within the study area were not mapped in the f ield, rather this analysis was completed using transects where data was already being collected f or the CCS analysis.
4.5
Lek Proximity Analysis
Primary f acilities that may be visible f rom the three active leks closest to the Project include the access road f rom State Route 486 to the upper reservoir and portions of the proposed upper reservoir area. Factors like topography and vegetation cover may reduce the view of Project f acilities f rom the leks, and mitigation f actors to reduce the number of tall structures f or the Project may be appropriate.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect greater sagegrouse. These effects may be direct (e.g., result of ground-disturbing activities) or indirect (e.g., due to noise or addition of tall structures). The goal of this study is to assess the direct and indirect effects the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The study will include: • • • •
Noise impact analysis; Greater sage-grouse lek monitoring; Conservation Credit System analysis; and Proximity analysis of the Project to nearby greater sage-grouse leks.
The overall goal of this study is to conduct a fine-scale outcome-based baseline assessment of greater sage-grouse habitat and lek status nearby and within the study area. The study will also assess potential direct and indirect impacts the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information can be found in the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For the PAD, existing geospatial information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) was reviewed to identify and describe greater sage-grouse habitat within the study area, as well as the proximity of the study area to greater sage-grouse leks.

These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in potential impacts to greater sage-grouse and greater sage-grouse habitat. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of greater sage-grouse habitat and consultation with NDOW and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) suggests that habitat in the vicinity of the Project is primarily classified as Priority habitat management area (PHMA) and General habitat management area (GHMA) by the2015 BLM Nevada and North Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2015).. Other habitat management areas (OHMA) also exist in the vicinity of the Project. There are eight known greater sage-grouse lek sites within 3.1 miles of the Project shown in Table 1 below. Table 1.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The project area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. The sage-grouse habitat management areas (Priority, General, Other, and Non-habitat) depicted in Attachment 1 are the habitat management areas mapped in the 2015 BLM Nevada and North Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2015). These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currentlyanticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each. The study area for each task described in Section 4.2 encompasses the entire project area plus a buffer area as noted below: •
Tasks 1, 2 and 4: All known leks in 3.1 miles of the project area.
•
Task 3: The project area plus an appropriate buffer determined in consultation with the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT). This will result in a buffer 6 kilometers in size for the proposed transmission line and buffers between 3 and 6 kilometers for other project components.

4.2
Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Noise Impact Analysis, Greater-Sage Grouse lek monitoring, Conservation Credit System Analysis, and habitat suitability, and a lek proximity analysis.
Task 1 – Noise Impact Analysis A noise impact study will be completed to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction of the Project. The noise impact study will be done in accordance with Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (Nevada Regional BLM 2019), Acoustic Impacts and Greater Sage-grouse: A Review of Current Science, Sound Measurement Protocols, and Management Recommendations (NDOW 2018), and the Nevada Department of Wildlife Interim SageGrouse Noise Protocol Clarifications (NDOW 2020) . The Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment stipulates that noise as a result of the Project will not increase above 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking. White Pine will coordinate with the BLM and NDOW to determine the anticipated noise levels as a result of construction, operations, and maintenance of the Project and will incorporate the anticipated noise levels into the noise model. NDOW staff have requested that noise monitors be placed at five lek locations within the Duck Creek Basin: Paine Meadows lek, Timber Creek Turnoff lek, Berry Creek lek, Gilford Meadows lek, and the Canyon Springs NE lek. Field work to collect noise measurements will follow Appendix G: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019). Measurements will be collected at multiple locations between each noise source and the lekking areas, during times when noise exposure would most likely affect greater sage-grouse. Where quiet conditions exist, empirical sampling and ambient noise modeling will be used to establish baseline ambient values. Project-related noise levels will be calculated with a noise model and will be compared to the measured noise levels. The noise analysis results will be reported in a draft and final noise analysis report.
Task 2 – Greater Sage-grouse Lek Monitoring White Pine will complete sage-grouse lek monitoring during the spring of 2021 for eight leks that are located within 3.1 miles of the Project as required by the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019). Field biologists will follow the NDOW Sage-Grouse Lek Count Protocol and will conduct counts at each lek four times during breeding season, between March 1 and May 1, 2021. During each lek count, if birds are present, biologists will collect a minimum of three counts at 15-minute intervals. If no birds are observed, biologists will search the lekking areas on foot for sage-grouse sign. The results of the lek monitoring will be reported in a draft and final 2021 Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring Results report.
Task 3 – Conservation Credit System (CCS) Analysis and Habitat Suitability The Project is located on public and private lands in greater sage-grouse habitat and is, therefore, required to enroll in the credit system established by the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (NRS 232.162). The CCS analyzes the direct and indirect adverse impacts that a development Page 3

project could have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The results of this analysis will be used to determine both the debits incurred by the Project, and potential credits available to offset the debits. During the field data collection, parameters will also be collected to characterize habitat suitability within the direct footprint of the project area. These parameters are used to determine the site-scale habitat suitability for breeding, late-brood rearing, and winter habitat, and are defined in the BLM’s Sage-grouse Habitat Assessment Framework (Stiver et al 2015). Results of the habitat suitability assessment will be presented in a technical memo.
Debit Project Analysis White Pine will coordinate with the SETT to complete a debit evaluation for the Project. The debit project will begin by completing the Debit Project Review Form and submitting it to the SETT for use throughout the life of the debit project. The CCS User’s Guide will be followed to complete the desktop analysis of the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT) using a geographic information system (GIS). These steps include defining a debit project area based upon the proposed Project surface disturbance, identifying existing anthropogenic disturbances, delineating map units, and generating transect locations for the field survey that will be submitted to the SETT for review. The SETT will provide the number and location of transects that will need to be completed to get an accurate site scale score for the Debit Project Calculator. Transects will consist of 50 meter (m) transects upon which biologists will collect data for vegetation coverage and diversity using the line intercept method and Daubenmire plots. Field work will occur during the 2021 growing season, from approximately April 15 to June 30, 2021, depending on weather and ground conditions. The latest CCS User’s Guide will be followed for collecting field data. Transect locations will be accessed by driving as close as possible to the survey transects using existing roads and then hiking on foot to survey locations to avoid sagebrush disturbance. Field data will be collected using iPads with submeter GPS receivers to record data on digital versions of the CCS field forms. Following the completion of field work, the transect data will be entered into the Debit Project Calculator to determine the number of debits that the Project is estimated to incur. The estimated debits that are a result of this analysis will be valid for 5 years. The field data and debit calculator will be packaged for submittal to the SETT by finalizing transect datasheets, transect photographs, map unit datasheets, and other applicable forms and shapefiles.
Credit Project Estimate White Pine will coordinate with the SETT to determine if there are any potential credit project opportunities within the vicinity of the Project. If it is determined that a credit project opportunity is available, a credit project analysis will be initiated and conducted following the CCS User’s Guide. Credits may also be available through the open marketplace to offset the debits the Project may incur.
Task 4 – Lek Proximity Analysis A proximity analysis for three greater sage-grouse leks near the Project will be completed with GIS to model the line of sight from the nearest sage-grouse lek towards the Project. The Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2019) stipulates that no new surface disturbance may occur within 3.1 miles of a lek within PHMA; however, this may be subject to change according to ground conditions, such as topographic features. The proximity analysis will model the line of sight and will

Introduction
This Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of the licensing of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the rare, threatened, and endangered wildlif e species assessment (study) that was conducted in 2020 and 2021.
1.1
Project Description
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in central eastern Nevada approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely in White Pine County (Figure 1). The Project is a 1,000-megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage f acility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project would be located entirely of f -stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir would intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water to initially f ill the reservoir system and required make-up water f or evaporation losses would be pumped f rom groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County.
1.2
Study Area
The study area was def ined in the Rare, Threatened, And Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment Study Plan (Study Plan) (Appendix A), consisting of all lands projected to be af fected by Project construction and operation f or which access permission was granted, which is approximately 1,823 acres in size (Figure 1). Access was not granted f or private parcels located along the proposed transmission corridor in the Smith Valley portion of the study area. However, this area was assessed with binoculars and did not present a limitation to this study . The study area is depicted in Figure 1.
1.3
Environmental Setting
The study area is situated between 6,140 and 8,650 f eet above mean sea level in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada (U.S. Geologic Survey 2012). The average temperatures range f rom between 39.0 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 86.9 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The average annual rainf all f or the period of record (1892-2016) in the study area is 8.86 inches, which is partially comprised of an average annual snowf all that is 22.10 inches (Western Regional Climate Center 2021). Broadly, the study area is dominated by sagebrush scrub in areas below 6,800 f eet and pinyon-juniper woodland above 6,500 f eet. A riparian woodland associated with Duck Creek occurs at the east end of the study area. Chaparral habitat types also occur intermittently in the study area. Seasonal cattle grazing occurs throughout the study area. A detailed description of vegetation communities and land cover types f ound in the study area is included below in Section 3.1.

Methods
2.1
Study Variances
The study was conducted in compliance with the Study Plan (Appendix A) with two variances. First, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) indicated a pref erence f or using the Landf ire vegetation modeling system (U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of the Interior 2020) instead of the Gap Analysis Program (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011) as the classif ication standard for vegetation types, during the development of the Environmental Assessment Geotechnical Study for the Proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (BLM 2021). Landf ire vegetation descriptions for White Pine County were assessed f or suitability based on previously collected data and it was determined that the dif ferences between the two classif ication systems were minimal and that this variance would not negatively af f ect the study. Second, in the study plan it was concluded that certain special-status wildlif e species with potential to occur in the study area had habitat pref erences suited to nearly all habitat types present in the study area and, theref ore, habitat suitability did not need to be assessed for these species. However, af ter submission of the study plan and bef ore f ield work for this study was conducted, it was determined that two of these special-status species, Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) and loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), could have more specif ic habitat preferences than earlier concluded and, theref ore, these species were analyzed in this study.
2.2
Database Search and Information Review
During development of the Pre-Application Document for the Project (WPW 2020), a review of the U.S. Fish and Wildlif e Service (USFWS) Inf ormation f or Planning and Consultation System was made (USFWS 2019), a request was submitted to the Nevada Department of Wildlif e (NDOW) f or data pertaining to all portions of the study area except the proposed transmission corridor (NDOW 2019), and records of special status species were reviewed in the Nevada Natural Heritage Database (Nevada Division of Natural Heritage 2019). Bef ore f ield studies began in 2021, a supplemental review of the Inf ormation f or Planning and Consultation System was made f or Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed wildlife species within 5 miles of the study area (USFWS 2021), a new request was made with NDOW f or data pertaining to the entire study area (NDOW 2021), and records of all BLM and other sensitive species in the Ely Ranger District and in White Pine County were reviewed (BLM 2017; Nevada Division of Natural Heritage 2019, 2021) along with species accounts in the Nevada Wildlif e Action Plan (NDOW 2012). The White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan was also reviewed f or pertinent inf ormation (White Pine County 2018).
2.3
Vegetation Mapping
As described in the study plan, vegetation types were mapped in the f ield on global positioning system (GPS) equipment loaded with aerial imagery. Each time a new vegetation type was encountered, determined by a change in dominant species and/or percent cover of dominant species, a boundary was drawn separating the vegetation types. Each vegetation type had an associated composition of dominant species and percent covers recorded on data f orms based on visual assessment. The vegetation mapping portion of the study was conducted on April 20 and 21,

2021. This mapping covered areas not mapped during survey work in September 2020 in support of the Pre-Application Document f or this Project. Areas mapped in September 2020 primarily consisted of the portion of the study area east of US-93. For consistency, the same biologists conducted vegetation mapping in April 2021 and September 2020. This mapping was ref ined during the special-status plants and noxious weeds study conducted later in the year, to help identif y dominant plant species that were not identif iable when the vegetation mapping was conducted. Each segment of each vegetation type, hereaf ter called a habitat province, was then given a unique identif ier to be used during the wildlif e habitat suitability assessment described below.
2.4
Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment
Rare, threatened, and endangered wildlif e species were determined through the database searches and inf ormation reviews as having potential to occur in the study area. Habitat characteristics deemed as suitable f or these species were identif ied, then these characteristics were f urther ref ined into 3 parameters; specif ic elements that must be present f or a habitat to be considered suitable to a species. These species were then sorted into groups based on these 3 parameters. Some species groups consist of multiple species which share 3 parameters, while other species groups only consist of 1 species because the parameters f or that species were not compatible with any others. Certain species were determined to have habitat pref erences so broad that they would have potential to occur nearly anywhere across the study area and were, theref ore, not included in this habitat suitability analysis. The parameters were used to score distinct habitat provinces identified across the study area during the habitat mapping ef f ort as more or less suitable to the species groups. Each of the mapped habitat provinces was assessed in the f ield as to whether they included 3, 2, 1, or none of the parameters considered necessary f or each species group (the habitat suitability assessment). Maps were then created to depict how many parameters each of the mapped habitat provinces across the study area included f or each species group (the habitat suitability index). This inf ormation was then used to describe the potential f or rare, threatened, and endangered wildlif e to occupy the study area and f or the Project to adversely af fect rare, threatened, and endangered wildlif e and their habitats. In the Results section of this repo rt, Section 3.1 lists all the special-status wildlif e species that were determined through the database searches and inf ormation reviews to have potential to occur in the study area. Section 3.2 details the vegetation types and land covers identif ied in the study area. Section 3.3 provides short species accounts for each of the special-status species with potential to occur in the study area and rationale f or why they were or were not included in the habitat suitability assessment. For species that are included in the assessment, the accounts go on to detail how parameters were developed and how species groups were assigned. Section 3.4 lists the species groups and their parameters that were used to carry out the f ield habitat suitability assessment.

White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan (White Pine County 2018) did not yield pertinent inf ormation f or this study. Each species f ound in the other database searches described in Section 2.2 was reviewed in one or more of the f ollowing ref erences to determine whether it had potential to occur in the study area: the Nevada Wildlif e Action Plan Species Accounts (NDOW 2012), The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Cypher and List 2014), and the NatureServe Explorer (NatureServe 2020). Those species, as well as Nevada designated f urbearing and game species with potential to occur in the study area, are included below in Table 1. Some species were determined to have habitat pref erences so broad that they would have potential to occur nearly anywhere across the study area and were, theref ore, excluded f rom specific mapping in the Wildlif e Habitat Suitability Assessment. All species which were excluded f rom specific mapping are noted in Table 1, and rationale f or their exclusion is included in the species accounts in Section 3.3.

Vegetation Mapping
A total of 25 land covers and vegetation types were f ound in the study area, some of which have varying f orms that differ f rom the primary type as def ined in the Landf ire classif ication system. A full description of these land covers and vegetation types based on data collected in the f ield is included below. Table 2 includes the acreages and percent of study area total f or each vegetation type and land cover in the study area. Appendix B includes a map of these vegetation types and land covers. Many of the upland vegetation types listed below have an herbaceous community with low to moderate amount of cover, as well as low to moderate cover of perennial grasses. The most commonly encountered herb species include cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus), James’ cryptantha (Cryptantha cinera var. abortiva), f lat spine sheepbur (Lappula occidentalis), long spur lupine (Lupinus arbustus), desert Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia var. dubia), and Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). The most commonly encountered perennial grasses included thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii) and Indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides).

3.2.1
Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland
This vegetation type occurs throughout the study area and occurs in three f orms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with minimal bare ground. Open and very open canopy f orms have a high cover of shrub species with bare ground making up the remainder of the habitat, differing in density of tree cover of approximately 5 to 25 percent f or the open canopy f orm, and less than 5 p ercent f or the very open canopy f orm. This vegetation type is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. A shrub community is present and total cover is generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees, with little sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), and musk phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides) being most commonly seen as well as some cover of mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridenata ssp. vaseyana). The herbaceous community cover and perennial grasses are also generally inversely proportional to the cover of trees.
3.2.2
Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral
This vegetation type occurs at the proposed upper reservoir and is dominated by antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of perennial grasses, matted wild buckwheat, and broom snakeweed . Scattered trees of Utah juniper do occur in this vegetation type, but at minimal cover. The herbaceous community has minimal cover, with a moderate to high amount of bare ground. This vegetation type is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland described below but has low cover of sagebrush species (Artemisia spp.).
3.2.3
Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland
This vegetation type occurs throughout the study area and is dominated by little sagebrush and/or black sagebrush in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of broom snakeweed, rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated Utah juniper trees may occur in this vegetation type, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb aceous community has cheatgrass which is below 10 percent cover in most places. This vegetation type is similar to Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of antelope bitterbrush. This vegetation type has f our f orms in addition to the standard f orm described above. A big sagebrush shrubland f orm of this vegetation type is present at various places along the proposed transmission corridor. This f orm differs f rom the standard f orm in having co -dominance with big sagebrush, but not at suf ficient cover to define it as Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland. A disturbed f orm of this vegetation type is present at the west end of the proposed lower reservoir and appears to be disturbed f rom an abandoned development. This f orm differs from the standard f orm in having approximately half the vegetation cover of the standard f orm. A juniper savannah f orm occurs at the proposed conveyance channel vicinity and along an access road to the proposed upper reservoir and dif fers from the standard f orm in having scattered clusters of Utah juniper but not at suf f icient levels to define it as a juniper woodland, along with a higher cover of perennial grass species.

Flammulated Owl
Flammulated owl is a BLM sensitive bird species that breeds in scattered mountain ranges across much of eastern Nevada and in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains along the Calif ornia border. They occur in montane f orest with mature pines (pref erably ponderosa and Jef frey pines), open canopy, brushy understory, and an abundance of tree cavities f or nesting (NDOW 2012). Potential to Occur in Study Area: Field studies have not identif ied f lammulated owl in the study area to date, and while the study area is in the range of the species, their pref erred habitat elements of mature Jef f rey or ponderosa pine f orests are not present in the study area. Theref ore, the species was excluded f rom specific mapping for this habitat suitability assessment.

Roosting Bats (multiple species)
There are 11 special-status species of bats with the potential to occur in the study area. While they all could occur f oraging over almost any portion of the study area, their pref erences regarding roosting sites differ and are the most important criteria by which to assess habitat suitability. Some bat species roost almost exclusively in trees, while others roost almost exclusively in cliffs, caves, mines, and other rock or artif icial surf aces (NDOW 2012). Some species have more general pref erences f or roost sites and do not f it as well into either of these two categories and , theref ore, those species were excluded f rom specific mapping for this habitat suitability assessment.

Pygmy Rabbit
Pygmy rabbit is a BLM sensitive and NDOW game mammal species which ranges across central and northern Nevada corresponding with sagebrush distribution. They are f ound primarily on big sagebrush dominated plains and alluvial f ans where plants occur in tall, dense clumps . Dense stands of sage growing adjacent to permanent and intermittent streams, along f ence rows, and ditches may be avenues of dispersal (NDOW 2012). Over winter, pygmy rabbits subsist nearly entirely on sagebrush, while in the spring and summer their diet is made up of approximately half sagebrush and half grasses and f orbs, especially native bunchgrasses (USFWS 2010). Potential to Occur in Study Area: There is big sagebrush shrubland and other sagebrush habitats with bunchgrass component in the study area. Field studies have not identif ied pygmy rabbit in the study area to date, but the study area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present. Suitable Habitat Parameters: •

3.3.30
Dark Kangaroo Mouse
Dark kangaroo mouse is a BLM sensitive and NDOW protected mammal species which is patchily distributed across northern and south-central Nevada. They inhabit stabilized dunes and other sandy or f ine gravelly soils in valley bottoms and alluvial f ans dominated by big sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and horsebrush (Tetradymia spp.). This species typically occurs in sandy habitats below where pinyon-juniper occurs and above those habitats where greasewood and saltbush predominate (NDOW 2012). Potential to Occur in Study Area: There is big sagebrush shrubland and other sagebrush habitats with rabbitbrush component between pinyon-juniper and greasewood zones in the study area. Field studies have not identif ied dark kangaroo mouse in the study area to date, but the study area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present. Suitable Habitat Parameters: •

3.3.32
American Water Shrew
American water shrew is a BLM sensitive mammal species that is patchily distributed across northern and west-central Nevada. They are f ound in the vicinity of streams or other bodies of water. Water shrews require suf f icient shelter such as dense vegetative cover, logs, rocks, crevices, etc. They use both terrestrial and aquatic habitat to f ind f ood and escape predators. They are primarily dependent upon aquatic insects and also eat various other invertebrates. They may take small vertebrates (f ish, amphibians) when available (NDOW 2012). Potential to Occur in Study Area: There is aquatic habitat with dense vegetative cover in the study area (Duck Creek). Field studies have not identif ied American water shrew in the study area to date, but the study area is in the known range of the species and suitable habitat is present . Suitable Habitat Parameters: •

3.3.33
Botta’s Pocket Gopher
Botta’s pocket gopher is a BLM sensitive mammal species that ranges nearly statewide in Nevada. They are associated with a wide range of vegetation types and a wide variety of soils from soft sands to f riable loams and hard clays. They are residents of open habitats and meadows where soils are deep enough to maintain permanent burrow systems (NDOW 2012). Potential to Occur in Study Area: Field studies have not identif ied Botta’s pocket gopher in the study area to date. However, due to their rather general habitat pref erences, the species could be f ound nearly anywhere in the study area and was, theref ore, excluded f rom specific mapping for this habitat suitability assessment.

The parameters identif ied above were used to score the mapped habitat provinces identified across the study area during the habitat mapping ef fort as more or less suitable to the species groups. Each of the mapped habitat provinces were assessed in the f ield as to whether they included 3, 2, 1, or none of the parameters considered suitable f or each species group. Habitat suitability index maps were then created to depict how many parameters each of the mapped habitat provinces across the study area included f or each species group (Appendix C). If 3 parameters f or a species group were present in a habitat province, the province was highlighted red. If 2 parameters f or a species group were present in a habitat province, the province was highlighted orange. If 1 parameter f or a species group was present in a habitat province, the province was highlighted yellow. If no parameters were present, then the province was lef t unhighlighted.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Pumped Storage, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect wildlife habitat and rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species. The goal of this study is to characterize and describe the habitat types in the study area (defined below in Section 4.1 and shown in Attachment 1) and the potential for RTE wildlife species to occur in the study area and to identify and assess potential Project impacts to these resources. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority. This study will: • • • •
Develop a map of vegetation types and un-vegetated land covers in the study area; Develop a map of wildlife habitats (roughly corresponding to the vegetation types) in the study area; Identify the likelihood of presence of special-status wildlife species in each of the habitat types; and Note the occurrence of wildlife sightings during the course of the field work.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) 2021 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment
White Pine will assess the nature and degree of the Project’s likely effects on RTE wildlife species. These effects may be direct (for example, ground-disturbing activities, such as mechanical or chemical clearing of vegetation or trampling of plants), indirect (for example, construction activity that results in erosion of adjacent land), or cumulative (that is, caused by a Project activity in association with a nonProject activity, such as loss of habitat attributable to the introduction of invasive plants from a nonProject vector). The study will provide information to determine the extent to which certain Project activities may have the potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources. A Project effect may exist if both of the following occur: • •
A RTE wildlife resource is found to occur in the study area, as defined in Section 4.1; and A specific Project activity has a reasonable possibility of having an adverse effect on the RTE wildlife resource found.
The goal of this study is to gather the information necessary to perform this analysis and evaluate the Project’s potential to adversely affect RTE wildlife resources.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of the existing information associated with the Project can be found in the PreApplication Document (PAD) (White Pine 2020). The U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat map identified 8 habitat types identified in the study area, identified in Table 1 (U.S. Geologic Survey 2011).

RTE Wildlife Species
Table 2 lists the RTE wildlife species known to occur in White Pine County, Nevada. Nevada designated furbearing and game species with potential to occur in the Study Area are also included in this table. This species list was compiled from the Nevada BLM Sensitive Species list for the Ely District (BLM 2017), the Nevada Department of Wildlife Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (2012), and two Nevada Department of Wildlife Response to records request for wildlife data in the Project Vicinity (2019; 2021). Habitat data for each species was compiled from the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan Species Accounts (2012), Nevada Natural Heritage Program (2020), Zeiner et al. (1990), Cypher and List (2014), and NatureServe (2020). Species are listed as unlikely to occur, could occur, and expected to occur based on the habitats present in the study area and professional judgements of experienced wildlife biologists involved with the study. A species is labeled as known to occur only if it was directly observed in the study area during the September 2020 portion of the study.

Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas. Open habitats with sparse vegetation such as prairie, pastures, desert or shrub steppe, and airports. In parts of their range they are closely associated with prairie dogs and ground squirrels, whose burrows they use for nests. Breeds throughout Nevada in salt desert scrub, Mojave shrub, and some sagebrush habitat, as well as in agricultural landscapes. Winters most frequently in the southern half of Nevada but has been recorded throughout the state during all months. Arid and semiarid grassland regions; open, level, or rolling prairies; foothills or middle elevation plateaus largely devoid of trees; and cultivated shelterbelts or riparian corridors. Nests in riparian woodland, juniper woodland, and savanna, as well as solitary trees or rows of trees along roads or field edges. Requires open habitats for foraging, such as hay and alfalfa fields, pastures, grain crops, and row crops.

Still found in most of the higher intermountain regions in the Great Basin Desert of Nevada. Streams, ponds, lake margins, rivers, marshes, and adjacent wetland areas. Optimum habitats include montane riparian, valley foothill riparian, riverine, lacustrine, aspen, and fresh emergent wetland. Modify their habitat, building watertight dams of sticks woven with reeds, branches and saplings, which are caulked with mud, forming slow-moving ponds. Found throughout the state from low desert to high mountain habitats. Observed foraging in krumholz bristlecone pine as high as 11,500 feet in the Snake Range of eastern White Pine County. Distribution is strongly correlated with the availability of caves and abandoned mines. Found primarily in rural settings from deserts to lower, mid, to high-elevation mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Current Nevada records indicate this species is distributed between 690-11,500 feet primarily in pinyon-juniper-mahogany, white fir, blackbrush, sagebrush, salt desert scrub, agricultural, and occasionally in urban habitats. ROOST SITES: A cavern-dwelling species that uses mines, caves, trees, and buildings. Very dependent on mines and caves; trees and buildings must offer “cave-like” spaces in order to be suitable. Will night roost in more open settings, including under bridges. Found throughout the state from low to high elevations (720 to over 9,800 feet). Occurs in a variety of habitats, including pinyon-juniper, blackbrush, creosote, sagebrush, agriculture, and urban habitats. Better adapted to human habitation than most species.

4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine will conduct an RTE Wildlife Species Assessment. The assessment will generate mapping of existing vegetation types and modeling of likely occurring wildlife species in the study area. This will involve visiting all locations of the study area, documenting dominant vegetation species, mapping habitat types in the study aera, documenting wildlife species that are present in the study area, and documenting the suitability for RTE wildlife species to occur, nest, roost, and/or den in the mapped habitat types. Focused surveys targeting individual wildlife species are not included as part of this effort. Although a portion of this study was conducted in September 2020 focusing around the Project facilities as designed at that time, the 2021 study will include the entire study area.
4.2.1
Vegetation Mapping
In the field, vegetation types will be mapped on an aerial photograph at a scale of approximately 1 inch equals 250 feet (1″ = 250′) or as appropriate for local conditions. Where vegetation overlaps another type of mapping unit, such as a tree canopy over water or roads, the area will be mapped according to the uppermost layer of vegetation. A minimum mapping unit of 0.1 acre will be used when differentiating vegetation types. Some vegetation types can be mapped below the level of 0.1 acre, such as vegetation types typically associated with wetland features, at the discretion of the surveyor. For each vegetation type observed in the field, species composition and percent cover will be recorded on vegetation mapping forms. Nomenclature of vegetation types will follow that of GAP. If a vegetation type is recorded that does not conform to a described vegetation type, a new name will be created conforming to the general format of the GAP. General habitat condition will be assessed for each polygon using indicators such as level of disturbance, presence, and relative dominance of non-native species, and availability of habitat structures. Additionally, field surveyors will record observations of wildlife encountered during field work, with a focus on RTE wildlife species.
4.2.2
Wildlife Habitat Suitability Assessment
The RTE wildlife species identified in Table 2 will be sorted into groups based on similar habitat characteristics, except for species identified as unlikely to occur. Additionally, the following species have broad enough habitat requirements that they are tentatively considered to have suitable habitat in the entire study area and will not have discreet habitat mapping conducted; greater short-horned lizard, short-eared owl, Swainson’s hawk, loggerhead shrike, big brown bat, western small-footed myotis, long-eared myotis, fringed myotis, long-legged myotis, Brazilian free-tailed bat, and Botta’s pocket gopher. Specific habitat characteristics will be attached to each group, and the number of characteristics for each group will be identified and mapped in the field, a process called a habitat suitability evaluation. Maps will be created in coordination with a qualified wildlife biologist experienced with Nevada habitats Page 15

to depict a map showing the potential of occurrence for each group of RTE wildlife species in the study area, called a habitat suitability index. This information will be combined with field data to describe the potential for RTE wildlife use of the study area and for the Project to adversely affect special status wildlife or key RTE wildlife habitats.
4.2.3
Reporting
The locations of significant sightings or observations, such as raptor nests or sage-grouse leks, will be documented through the use of a Global Positioning System unit. Data collected will be compiled into a study area species list. In particular, areas of high potential for occurrences of RTE wildlife species will be delineated on field maps, included in figures, and noted in study reporting. Included with the study report will be a description and a map of areas with potential for BLM sensitive springsnails, as identified in Table 1. These areas will be identified and mapped during the study and will incorporate data collected during the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study. Per Management Action SS-9 identified in the Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (BLM 2009), all spring sources subject to impact would require a pre-construction survey to determine if springsnails are present. Following field efforts and data management, White Pine will prepare a report that includes study goals, methodology, results, and analysis of potential Project effects. Project reporting will be incorporated into White Pine’s Draft License Application.

Introduction
This Recreation Resources Study Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of the licensing of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the Recreational Resources Study (study) conducted in 2021.
1.1
Project Description
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely (Figure 1). The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage f acility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely of f -stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water to initially f ill the reservoir system and required make-up water f or evaporation losses would be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County.
1.2
Study Area
The study area was def ined in the Recreation Resources Study Plan (study plan) (Appendix A), consisting of recreation f acilities and resources, including open space and Nevada Department of Wildlif e (NDOW) Game Management Hunt Units within approximately 10 miles of the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1 of Appendix A. The Primary Facility Corridors described in the study plan include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards, and related disturbance areas. The study area is depicted in Figure 2.
1.3
Environmental Setting
The study area occurs between approximately elevation 6,000 and 10,000 f eet above mean sea level in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada (U.S. Geologic Survey [USGS] 2012). The average temperatures range f rom 39.0 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 86.9 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The average annual rainf all f or the period of record (1892-2016) in the study area is 8.86 inches, which is partially comprised of an average annual snowf all of 22.10 inches (Western Regional Climate Center 2021). White Pine County is sparsely populated with just around 10,000 residents, most of whom live near the City of Ely, Nevada (White Pine County [WPC] 2020). Humboldt National Forest, located just east of the Project, provides year-round camping, boating, and hiking opportunities (U.S. Forest Service [USFS] undated-a). Lands surrounding the Project are used primarily f or grazing, irrigation, mining, and recreation. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the administrator f or over twelve million acres of Federal land in White Pine, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, which are available f or livestock grazing, mineral production, recreation, and wildlif e habitat (BLM undated-a). Land use within the Project vicinity includes primarily BLM-managed public lands (BLM 2007). The major economic use of land in White Pine County historically was mining, specif ically copper mining ; however, as this industry has declined there has been a loss of mining-related jobs. Tourism and recreation now provide many avenues f or economic development (WPC 2020).

Summary of Existing Information
There are currently no developed recreation f acilities in the area proposed for Project construction. The Nevada Northern Railroad (NNR) HiLine Branch traverses the Project location. While not a recreation f acility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides. More broadly, there are recreation and tourism opportunities in the Project vicinity . The Project is within the Nevada Regional BLM Ely Field Of f ice planning area, and generally, recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, hunting, f ishing, camping, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described in the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are c haracteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor inf ormation to f amiliarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics f or activities (BLM 2007). Other lands and recreation f acilities in the Project vicinity are managed by White Pine County and the USFS. It is the policy of White Pine County to provide citizens of the County access to public lands f or recreational use and economic activity, as well as protect the environment and natural resources within the County f or f uture generations (White Pine County 2018). White Pine County supports the concept of “Multiple Use Management” which includes recreation along with a balanced and diverse use of other natural resources. White Pine County recreational policies include conservation and protection of recreational and open space resources and the promotion of sustainable recreation use. The County also encourages the use of dispersed recreation and the additional development of recreation f acilities on appropriate public lands. USFS management of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is outlined in the Humboldt National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1986), as amended (USFS 1986). USFS management goals f or the HumboldtToiyabe National Forest include providing a broad range of outdoor recreational opportunities to the public, including developed and dispersed recreation, maintaining and improving recreational f acilities, and coordinating recreation programs with local, state, and f ederal agencies. The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely . Ely offers year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual half -marathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Project. There are three parks in McGill, including a hot spring pool and playfields. The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill (McGill Nevada 2016). The NNR Museum and Depot are located in Ely. NNR of fers excursions to the public f or a f ee (NNR undated). Excursions depart f rom the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A f ew trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Project. There are no scenic byways, National Trails, designated Wilderness Areas, designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers, or rivers listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory within approximately 10 miles of the Project. Existing recreation f acilities and areas in the vicinity of the Project are shown in Figure 2.

Methods
The study was conducted in compliance with the study plan (Appendix A) with the exception of one variance, described below. The Recreation Resources Study consists of three tasks: 1. Perf orm an outdoor recreation f acility and resource inventory within an approximate 10-mile radius of the Project; 2. Determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch; and 3. Reporting. Task two has been postponed and results are not available f or this report. The results of the NNR visitor use assessment, if conducted, will be provided to the agencies and interested parties at a later date.
2.1

2.2
Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment
The NNR visitor use assessment will collect visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age), perceptions, attitud es, and pref erences. WPW will communicate with NNR to obtain existing visitor data, including demographics, use estimates, and revenues. As stated above, the results of the NNR visitor use assessment will be provided to the agencies and interested parties at a later date, as available.
2.3
Reporting
Results of desktop research and the f acility inventory/use estimate formed the basis of the Recreation Resources Study Report, including: • •
•
•
Narrative and tabular description of recreation f acilities and resources in the Project vicinity, including site capacity and use estimates or projections. Summary of NNR visitor demographics, perceptions, attitudes, and pref erences. WPW also proposes to conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to Project f acilities, including both daytime and nighttime views f rom the existing NNR HiLine Branch and any proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Inf ormation f rom the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment f indings (to be provided at a later date). Analysis of the ef f ects of Project construction and operation on existing recreation f acilities and resources in the immediate Project vicinity and on NNR visitor opportunities, use, and experiences. Identif ication and evaluation of potential recreation enhancements.
In addition to preparing the Recreation Resources Study Report, WPW plans to use inf ormation f rom this study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the Project. Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.

Recreation Facility Description All three management units are managed f or elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope (NDOW 2009). Additional big game species in Nevada include three sub-species of bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and black bear. Mountain lions may also be hunted in Nevada and other small game such as coyotes and rabbits may be hunted. Upland game birds, migratory birds, waterf owl, and turkeys are also hunted in Nevada. Primitive camping is allowed on public lands of NDOW Game Management Units (NDOW 2009). Elk tags are intensely sought af ter in Unit 111 and the Steptoe Valley WMA (NDOW 2019). High elk densities are f ound in the Duck Creek Basin and upper Cooper Canyon/Coop er Wash area (NDOW 2009). Unit 111 also supports a large population of mule deer and is very popular. Pronghorn antelope are f ound in highest densities in Unit 111 just south of Ely , Nevada. Terrain in Unit 111 ranges f rom gentle to extremely dif ficult and elevation ranges f rom about 6,000 f eet to 11,900 f eet. Hunting access ranges f rom f air to excellent in Unit 111. Topography in Unit 121 ranges f rom gentle hills to steep canyons and elevations range f rom 6,000 f eet to 10,420 f eet in the Cherry Creek Rang e (NDOW 2009). The majority of land in this unit is managed by the BLM. Hunter access to Unit 121 is generally excellent except where private or mining lands block entry. However, snow may render this Unit inaccessible f rom December through March. Some sections of this unit are in a wilderness area, which prohibits motorized vehicle use. Unit 131 contains both rugged steep mountains and large f lat valleys (NDOW 2009). Several roads and jeep trails provide good access to this area with no private land blocki ng access to hunting

areas. Some sections of this unit are in a wilderness area, which prohibits motorized vehicle use. Land here is managed by the BLM and USFS. Hunters are responsible f or understanding the management units and obtaining hunting licenses (NDOW undated-b). The NDOW recently published a Big Game Status Report (2021), which outlines the status of game herds in each of the Game Management Units (NDOW 2021c).
Estimated Use Levels Unit 111 is typically expected to experience hunter congestion as it supports the largest mule deer population in the region (NDOW 2009). Unit 121 is isolated and generally not congested as game and hunters are usually well-dispersed in this area (NDOW 2009). Table 8 shows the number of successful hunters during the 2020 season f or each game species and management unit. The number of hunters f or each of these management units made up approximately 3 to 4 percent of the statewide hunters f or each species (NDOW 2021d). However, Unit 111 elk hunters represented over 11 p ercent of total hunters f or elk in the State in 2020 and 16 percent of successful hunters in the State in 2020.

Discussion
The results of this study will be used to analyze the ef f ects of Project construction and operation on existing recreation f acilities and resources in the immediate Project vicinity. This analysis will be presented in the license application. Potential recreation enhancements will also be evaluated in the license application. WPW will use inf ormation f rom this study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements. Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.
4.1
Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimate
While there are no recreation f acilities located in the area proposed for Project construction, there are numerous recreational f acilities and opportunities in the vicinity of the proposed Project. Outdoor recreation on unimproved lands is an important f actor to the economy of White Pine County and the region is regarded as a destination f or activities such as hunting, f ishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, and riding of OHVs and motorcycles (White Pine County 2018). Recreation activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowmobiling are also increas ing in popularity in the County. Several recreational areas and recreational f acilities exist within approximately 10 miles of the proposed Project. These include campgrounds, picnic areas, and trails managed by both the USFS and BLM; County-managed recreation such as community parks, shooting ranges, f airgrounds, and a golf course; areas f or hunting; and surf ace waters f or f ishing; as well as the NNR. The majority of outdoor recreation in the Project vicinity is located on public land s, with one private campground, the Ely KOA Journey Campground. In addition to a desktop assessment, HDR staf f completed site visits to several of the recreation sites assessed in this report and concluded that the f acilities visited were all in relatively good condition. The USFS has also recently renovated several campgrounds in the Project vicinity, including Bird Creek, East Creek, and Ward Mountain Campgrounds. According to inf ormation on each of the USFS campground websites, dispersed USFS campgrounds receive light usage while developed campgrounds receive medium to heavy usage. In addition, Cave Lake State Park staf f has also indicated that the park receives maximum capacity attendance on a regular basis.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Recreation Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • •
Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides. More broadly, there are recreation and tourism opportunities in the Project vicinity. Page 1

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
The Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada. Over ninety-five percent of the land in White Pine County is in federal ownership, largely administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (White Pine County Planning and Land Use Advisory Committee (PLUAC)). The Primary Facility Corridors are within the Nevada Regional BLM Ely Field Office planning area and generally recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, crosscountry skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described in the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, is to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities (BLM 2007). White Pine County offers recreational pursuits including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, along with off highway vehicles and motorcycles (PLUAC). White Pine County reports growing recreation interest in the region, including growth in new forms of recreation including mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowmobiling (PLUAC). White Pine County coordinated with land managing entities in the County to develop its recreation policies (PLUAC). Recreation policies are intended to protect and develop natural amenities for the public’s multiple use benefit (PLUAC). Policies include conserving open space; encouraging sustainable recreational use; promoting “Eco-tour” and responsible off highway vehicle businesses; encouraging the development of a community ski hill; encouraging dispersed recreation opportunities on appropriate public lands; identifying, protecting, and developing public lands with value for concentrated recreational use, concentrating open space, park, and recreation facilities as close to resident populations as feasible; protecting and promoting the Lincoln Highway corridor as a cultural and recreational resource; protecting water quality and water rights for recreational fishing at important water resources; supporting hunting and fishing as recreational resources and as multiple uses of public lands; endorsing the State’s programs to provide sustained levels of game animals; and encouraging the development of hiking and recreational trails on public lands (PLUAC). The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including golfing, snowmobiling, and archery, as well as an annual halfmarathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). The Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot are located in Ely. NNR offers excursions to the public for a fee (NNR undated). Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Primary Facility Corridors. There are three parks in McGill, which include a warm spring-fed swimming pool and playfields. The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill (McGill Nevada 2016).
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of recreation facilities and resources, including open space and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Game Management Hunt Units within approximately 10 miles of the Page 2

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. The Primary Facility Corridors include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
A Recreation Resources Study will be conducted consisting of three tasks: 1. Perform an outdoor recreation facility and resource inventory within the study area; 2. Estimate the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch; and 3. Reporting.
4.2.1
Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimate
White Pine will conduct an inventory to document the existing recreation facilities and resources within the study area. The inventory will include the following outdoor recreation facilities: • • • • • • • •
Timber Creek Group Picnic/Campground Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Bird Creek Campground East Creek Campground Cave Lake State Park Ward Mountain Campground/Picnic Site Berry Creek Campground Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot
White Pine will describe the type and location of each facility, the type of recreation provided (train excursions, camping, hunting, etc.), site capacity, estimated use levels (if available), and any future capital improvement or management plans for recreation facilities and resources potentially affected by the Project. Where possible, White Pine will obtain the information from available public records (e.g., satellite imagery, internet) or through telephone and email contact with recreation facility owners and operators. A field inventory will be conducted as needed to prepare a thorough inventory and reasonable use estimates.
4.2.2
Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment
The NNR visitor use assessment will collect visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age), perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine will communicate with NNR to obtain existing visitor data, including demographics, use estimates, and revenues. White Pine will supplement existing information through coordination with NNR to administer surveys on up to 10 representative NNR HiLine Branch excursions during 2021, with a goal of completing 100 surveys. Survey administrators will contact visitors during or immediately after their excursions. The survey instrument is designed to elicit information on visitors’ characteristics, and their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch excursions (Attachment 2). White Pine considered NPS’ Pool of Known Questions in developing the survey instrument (NPS 2020).

4.2.3
Reporting
Results of the facility inventory/use estimate and the NNR visitor use assessment will form the basis of the Recreation Study Report, to include: • •
•
•
Narrative and tabular description of recreation facilities and resources in the study area, including site capacity and use estimates or projections. Summary of NNR visitor demographics, perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine also proposes to conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the currently-proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Information from the visual and aesthetic study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment findings. Analysis of the effects of Project construction and operation on existing recreation facilities and resources in the immediate Project vicinity and on NNR visitor opportunities, use, and experiences. Identification and evaluation of potential recreation enhancements.
In addition to preparing a Recreation Study Report, White Pine will use information from this study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements. Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Socioeconomic Study White Pine Pumped Storage Project
Executive Summary White Pine Waterpower LLC (WPW) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage power generation project in White Pine County, Nevada, (the Project) to be located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt facility with an estimated construction cost of $2.3 billion. The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize the socioeconomic impacts of this Project. The study covered two categories of impacts due to the Project broadly classified as follows: (1) Economic impacts, or impacts on the economy and businesses, their opportunities, and resulting perf ormance due to Project expenditures; and (2) Social impacts, or various aspects of social effects on the host communities and their residents, important characteristics and structure of local communities, and wellbeing of their residents.
STUDY SCOPE AND APPROACH The economic impacts stemming from Project expenditures were estimated in terms of quantitative metrics such as incremental business revenues, job generation, employment income, value added, and government tax revenues attributable to the Project. Impacts were estimated across two levels of geography likely to be affected: White Pine County and the entire state of Nevada. This analysis was conducted using input-output modelling approaches and the IMPLAN modelling software. The input data was developed based on Project development and construction costs, assumptions regarding geographic sources of equipment, contractors, as well as staffing needs for the completed facility. Separate impact estimates were derived for Project development and construction phase and f or Project operations af ter it is commissioned. Additional steps were adopted to derive estimates of tax revenues. In particular, property tax revenues attributable to facility operations were estimated on the basis of formulas and f actors sourced f rom the Nevada property tax applications manual (Property Tax Elements and Applications Manual from Nevada’s Department of Taxation). The social impacts were analyzed primarily in qualitative terms to highlight potential impacts of the Project on the way local communities would f unction, impacts on their unique f eatures and characteristics, and impacts on wellbeing of residents that go over and beyond the economic impacts measured in terms of jobs and business revenue.

This analysis was conducted based on existing related socioeconomic data, recent trends, and context inf ormation collected through desktop research. The results of the analysis completed for other streams of the Project environmental impact analysis were leveraged where available and relevant. The analysis considered White Pine County overall and communities located in the Project vicinity that are expected to be directly affected by the Project, including Ely, McGill, and Ruth.
FINDINGS Economic Impacts of Project Construction Summary Table 1 shows the economic impact of construction in White Pine County.1 The impacts shown capture the combined effects of all construction-related economic activities, including construction at the site, engineering work, accommodation and food services arrangements for non-resident workers and their spending on consumption goods and services in White Pine County. Over 7 years of construction, the Project expenditures of $2.3 billion are estimated to generate a total of 3,760 job-years (including 2,981 direct job-years, 374 indirect job-years, and 405 induced job-years), $186.7 million labor income, $34.2 million value added, and $536.2 million of output. On an annual basis, the Project construction is expected to support an average of 537 jobs (direct, indirect, and induced combined) in the County with a total labor income of $26.7 million.

Social Impacts of Project Construction and Operations The socio-economic profiles of White Pine County, Ely, McGill, and Ruth combined with the analysis of other related data and information led to the following key observations regarding potential socioeconomic impacts of the Project. •
The Project would create labor demand in the construction-related and professional services industries f or more than 1,000 workers during peak periods to work at the Project site. White Pine County will not be able to support all this demand. However, the County may well be able to support some requirements given its current size of related industries, including construction, mining, and prof essional services industries (2019 employment of 215, 640, and 173, respectively, based on US Census).
•
Although the unemployment rate in White Pine County is low at about 3 percent, labor force participation rate in the County is also very low at less than 50 percent. This may be indicative of existing pockets of working age individuals who would like to work but stopped working and looking f or a job due to a lack of success. Local communities may thus gain significant employment-related benef its from the Project and increase the employment rate.
•
The Project is expected to bring to the County more than 900 non-resident construction-related workers during the construction period. This will boost county population by more than 9 percent. Most non-resident workers are not anticipated to bring f amily members to the area f or the construction period and non-local construction personnel will typically disperse f rom the area f ollowing completion of construction activities.

•
Based on housing statistics, White Pine County has a large stock of unoccupied housing and temporary housing is also available as described in the main text of this report. However, the County’s existing housing stock may not have the capacity to accommodate all non-resident workers migrating to the County during the construction period. White Pine County has identified a need f or more housing and initiated efforts to build more housing in the area. If temporary housing is not sufficient for the construction workforce, WPW anticipates that its construction contractor will construct worker camps if needed.
•
Some public services in White Pine County such as health care and education, are already facing limited resources. With 900+ non-resident workers coming to the County, the Project is thus likely to place additional stress on these services. However, most health care needs for the non-resident temporary construction workers will be met by the medical clinics and hospital in White Pine County. Most temporary workers would not enroll students in local schools. The increased tax revenues resulting from the Project would have a beneficial economic impact on local schools. The effect of the Project on health care and education is anticipated to be minor.
•
The County’s emergency services (medical and f ire protection) seem to have capacity that is suf ficient for current County needs. They may be able to accommodate the Project needs as well.
•
The Conceptual Project Boundary and adjacent lands are sparsely populated. Few if any displacements of residences or businesses will likely have to take place to build and operate the Project.
•
There are potential negative impacts on Nevada Northern Railroad (NNR) excursion train experiences due to the impacts of the Project. Impacts may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and interpretation of the Project for NNR visitors.
•
Regarding hunting and wildlife viewing, there are no scenic byways, National Trails, designated Wilderness Areas, designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers, or rivers listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory within approximately 10 miles of the Project. Lands in the vicinity of the Project are designated as priority and seasonal habitat f or game species, including greater sage grouse, mule deer, and pronghorn. The Project, a large inf rastructure installation in the landscape, may have some impacts to species and habitat with implications on hunting and wildlif e viewing opportunities. The detailed impacts will be identified at a later date through a dif ferent study process.

Introduction, Study Purpose and Scope
White Pine Waterpower LLC (WPW) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, (the Project) approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits along with an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. Inf rastructure projects of this scale are expected to have multif aceted impacts on the regions and communities where they are located. The purpose of this report is to outline the f indings of a study of socioeconomic impacts of the Project. This includes two categories of impacts broadly classified as follows: (1) Economic impacts, or impacts on the economy and businesses, their opportunities and resulting perf ormance due to Project expenditures; and (2) Social impacts, or various aspects of social effects on the host communities and their residents, important characteristics and structure of local communities and wellbeing of their residents. This report is organized as follows. Section 2 addresses the f irst category of impacts, the economic impacts stemming f rom Project expenditures. The impacts in question are estimated in terms of quantitative metrics such as incremental business revenues, job generation, employment income, value added, and government tax revenues attributable to the Project across two levels of geography likely to be affected: White Pine County and the entire state of Nevada. This analysis is conducted using input-output modelling approaches, data, and modelling tools well recognized in industry practice f or similar purposes. Specifically, the analysis is conducted on the basis of Project development and construction costs estimates and using the IMPLAN modelling software. Section 3 addresses the second category of impacts, broad social impacts of Project presence in the County that are in addition to the business revenues and job impacts captured though input-output modelling. The specific focus is on the following: •
Labor markets, employment and unemployment;
•
Housing;
•
Public services;
•
Displacements and right of way impacts of the Project;
•
Nevada Northern Railway; and
•
Hunting and wildlife viewing.
The analysis aims to highlight the ways in which the Project may impact the surrounding communities and people and to comment on the extent to which these communities may be able to accommodate Project needs and take advantage of the opportunities that it would offer. This analysis is conducted in qualitative terms based on existing related data, recent trends, and context inf ormation collected through desktop research. The results of the analysis conducted f or other streams of the Project environmental impact analysis are leveraged where available and relevant.

Economic Impact Analysis
This section evaluates the economic impact of the proposed Project. It starts with an overview of key concepts in economic impact analysis, defines the metrics of impacts that will be used in this study, outlines the methodology used to estimate the impacts, discusses data and input assumptions, and reports the results.
2.1 Key Concepts in Economic Impact Analysis
Economic impact analysis is a type of conceptual analysis that identifies and quantifies the economic activity that is generated or can be attributed and linked to the investment project, government policies, events, etc. being evaluated. These projects, policies, or events have some underlying change in the stream of expenditures in an economy and lead to a change in the demand f or goods and services. This has implications on the number of jobs and other measures of economic activity in the local, regional, and national economy. Traditionally, economic impact analysis involves the estimation of three distinct types of economic activity, commonly referred to as “direct effects,” “indirect effects,” and “induced effects” that are attributable to an initial stream of incremental capital or operating expenditures. These are defined as follows: •
Direct ef fects refer to the initial economic effects occurring as the result of capital or operating expenditures directly related to the project, policy, or event being evaluated. Direct spending results in the employment of workers, business output, and sales of locally produced goods or services.
•
Indirect ef fects ref er to the “spin-off” economic activities that result from purchases of production inputs, goods and services, by businesses that are impacted by the initial expenditures. The spending by the supplier f irms on their labor, production inputs, goods and services that they require creates output of other f irms further down the production chain, bringing about additional business output, employment, and earnings. The sum of these effects across the supply chain is the indirect impact.
•
Induced ef fects represent the increase in business output, employment, and earnings over and above the direct and indirect impacts, generated by re-spending of employment income derived f rom direct and indirect employment.. Induced impacts are thus changes in economic activity that are the result of personal (household) spending for goods and services by employees comprising the direct and indirect impacts.
•
Total economic impact is the sum of the direct, indirect, and induced effects for the project being evaluated.
Each of the direct, indirect, and induced effects defined is estimated in terms of various measures of economic activity that include the following: •
Output, the total gross value of all business revenue. Output represents the total sum of all economic activity that has taken place in connection with the project. This is the broadest measure of economic activity.
•
Value Added, or Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the “value added” to the economy, or value of output minus value of purchased goods and services used in the production process. Value added represents the unduplicated measure of the total value of economic activity.

•
Employment, the number of incremental jobs created as a result of the capital expenditures and operations of the project.2
•
Salaries and Wages, the additional salaries and wages that would result from capital expenditures on the project and its future operations.
•
Government Tax Revenues, the total amount of incremental tax revenues generated at all levels of government.
Indirect and induced impacts are of ten ref erred to as “multiplier ef fects,” since they increase the overall economic impacts of the original expenditure that initiated the rounds of spending and effects described above. In addition, an investment project, event, or government policies may result in various other impacts and broader socio-economic impacts af f ecting broader local and regional economies. These may include additional enabled economic activity, or improvements in productivity and competitiveness, improved quality of life in the af f ected region, improved socio-economic profile of the af fected region, and other ef f ects. For example, the proposed facility may have an impact on electricity pricing and reliability in the state and af f ect the competitiveness of some rate payers. The Project may also have a range of social impacts in local communities, both during construction and then Project operations, stemming f rom its interactions with those communities, impacts on various community resources and assets, impacts on community structure and other issues. This section focuses on the immediate impacts of construction expenditures and operations of the proposed f acility whereas Section 3 addresses social impacts.
2.2 Overview of Approach The direct, indirect, and induced impacts discussed above are typically estimated based on project or program f inancial and engineering inf ormation using input-output modeling approaches. An input-output model captures and quantifies the flows of goods and services between various industries in an economy. The indirect multipliers f rom such models provide an aggregate measure of the ef fect that each $1 (one dollar) of revenue of an industry has on all other industries in the economy that arise through supplypurchase relationships, or input demand of this industry to produce its own outputs. Indirect multipliers can be expressed in terms of employment (indirect jobs per $1 of incremental direct revenue in an industry), indirect output (indirect output per $1 of incremental direct industry revenue), indirect employment income (indirect wages and salaries per $1 of incremental direct industry revenues), and GDP (indirect value added per $1 of incremental direct industry revenue). Direct multipliers provide measures of average employment, employment income, and value added in an industry f or each dollar of its revenues. Input-output models
In economic impact analysis, employment impacts are typically estimated in terms of job-years which expresses the number of jobs created times the length of time in years that they would last for. For example, 1 job-year is 1 job created for 1 year. For simplicity, these impacts are often referred to as “jobs” or employment impacts. Impacts of construction activities are typically assessed as impacts of total project expenditures and thus represent cumulative impacts over project construction years. Impacts of project operations are typically assessed as impacts of annual project operations and maintenance and thus represent annual impacts. 2

and multipliers from such models can thus be used to estimate the economic impacts of investment projects and policy initiatives. The economic impacts of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project construction and operations are estimated using IMPLAN and multipliers extracted from this application. IMPLAN (IMpact analysis for PLANning) is an economic impact modeling tool used for f orecasting the effect of a given economic change in the economy's activity on the local, regional, and national economy. The change is specified in terms of expenditures on construction and/or operations. The model is based on classic input-output modeling approaches combined with social accounting matrices and multipliers. It consists of a software package with data sets at various levels of geography (all of US/ national average, state, county, zip code) which are loaded into the software depending on the specific project and desired geographic area of impact assessment. 3 The methodology of the estimation of economic impacts with IMPLAN involves the following key steps: Step (1): Identify the streams of expenditures directly resulting from the proposed project-related activity (or the number of jobs that would be involved in various activities) and classify them into industrial sectors; Step (2): Identif y IMPLAN industries that most closely correspond to the industrial sectors of expenditures listed in Step (1) (based on North American Industrial Classification System [NAICS] codes concordance); and Step (3): Enter the above information in the tool, run the simulation, and extract the results. In certain situations, it may also be advantageous to extract multipliers from the IMPLAN software data for the respective geographies f or which the analysis is conducted, and use them directly with project expenditure and employment data. In this instance, the user would construct an Excel-based input-output model that combines multipliers with expenditure and employment data to simulate direct, indirect, and induced impacts of the proposed project. The streams of impacts identified as directly resulting from the proposed project and taken into account in this assessment include the following two categories: (1) Development and construction costs; and (2) Jobs or costs related to the operations and maintenance of the new f acility. The construction costs represent an engineering cost estimate of the project to be completed. The incremental operation and maintenance costs represent an assessment of costs or labor requirements to operate the facility at its full build-out and full operational capacity The impact of the proposed new inf rastructure project is estimated as (1) the impacts of total cumulative construction expenditures, and (2) the impacts of annual operations and maintenance at full build-out. The f ormer represents the cumulative impacts over the construction years, and the latter represents annual recurring impacts. Construction impacts can be converted to average annual impacts during the
3 IMPLAN was originally developed in the 1970s for the US Forest Service for economic impact
projections of alternative uses of US public forest resources. In later years, IMPLAN was improved and updated to make it more functional and relevant for a wider range of projects and users. IMPLAN is now widely used and recognized by government organizations, academia, advisory services, and business organizations. Currently, IMPLAN is operated by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group (MIG).

construction period by dividing all impact estimates by the number of years that development and construction are expected to take place. IMPLAN also estimates government tax revenue impacts to the state/local and federal governments. State and local government tax revenues come f rom sales taxes, property taxes, social insurance taxes, and various f ees and f ines. Federal taxes include social insurance taxes (employee and employer contributions), personal income taxes, corporate profit taxes, as well as excise taxes and custom duties. The tax impacts reported represent the incremental tax revenues to each level of government (state and local, federal) generated in each of the geographic areas analyzed. 4 All impacts were estimated at two geographic levels: (1) White Pine County, and (2) State of Nevada. The impacts of expenditures and activities that would be taking place in White Pine County were estimated at the county level with the county input data. The impacts taking place across Nevada (including those in White Pine County) were estimated at the state level with the state data. The second set of impacts is intended to present a broader, regional and state level impacts of local expenditures and activities. The impacts of such expenditures and activities may extend beyond the local economies through the employment of specialized labor and resources f or the project itself, as well as through the purchase of production input materials and services by the direct project suppliers.
2.3 Input Assumptions 2.3.1 Facility Development and Construction
As of mid-October 2021, construction and development costs of the Project are estimated at about $2.3 billion in 2020 dollars. These costs include general construction, engineering and design, plant equipment, and related costs. Contingency is also included in the cost estimates. However, property acquisition, costs of utilities during construction, environmental mitigation, legal costs, and primary transmission lines from the Project are not included. The quantified costs are summarized in the table below, f irst by “Cost Type” (as they were originally estimated), and then reclassified by industrial categories based on their description.

At this time, it is not known where the various goods and services required during construction and operations would be sourced, where the potential bidders f or the work would be coming f rom, or which companies would be awarded the contracts. 5 Infrastructure construction is a local activity taking place at the project site. However, small communities hosting major projects may be unable to provide all resources needed f or construction as those resources may well exceed the available local workforce. Also, certain project supplies, equipment, or services may be highly specialized, and a local economy may be unable to provide them. In general, assuming that all goods and services would be provided by the local economies will likely overstate the impacts. For this analysis, assumptions were made based on the nature of this project, type of work that would be involved, and a general knowledge of the relevant industries. These assumptions are outlined below. •
•
Expenditures in Nevada o Construction/Civil Works. Construction of this Project entails specialized skills and experience some of which may not be available in Nevada. In particular, it is anticipated that tunnelling and earthwork will likely be carried out by out-of-state construction companies. In this analysis, only powerhouse-related construction – estimated at 40 percent of total civil construction works – was allocated to Nevada companies. o Engineering, Design, Permitting, Management. It is anticipated that most of engineeringrelated contracts will be awarded to contractors outside Nevada. Only a small share of about 10 percent will be contracted to Nevada providers, mostly to White Pine County consultants. o Equipment. Most of the power-generation and turbine equipment will be purchased outside Nevada. Only small contracts for supply of components and mechanical materials may be awarded to Nevada suppliers. For this analysis, the related expenditures were assumed at 5 percent of equipment costs and allocated to pumping equipment manufacturing. Expenditures in White Pine County
It is noted that internal IMPLAN data automatically accounts for the sources of input supplies, materials, and services that typical contractors or bidders would be using in the course of their contracts (for example, the geographic source of concrete needed for a project). These assumptions are ref lected in the magnitude of indirect multipliers and impacts. Theref ore, the key issue here is the allocation of the main contracts that represent the direct costs.

Construction/Civil Works. It is anticipated that the construction company (or companies) awarded this Project will strive to hire as many local construction contractors as possible. For this analysis, local construction employment related to the Project was assumed at 180 annually over construction years. This assumption was guided by HDR’s professional experience and labor market situation in White Pine County. As shown in Table 21 in Section 3, in 2019 employment in the construction industry amounted to 215. In addition, employment in the mining industry – an industry where workers can be assumed to have skills transferable to construction jobs – amounted to 640. The assumed local Project construction employment would thus account f or about 20 percent of existing County construction and mining industries employment combined. Given that labor f orce participation in White Pine County is very low at less than 50 percent (see Figure 4 in Section 3), additional pools of suitable workers may exist among individuals currently not in labor f orce. Over 7 years of construction duration this resulted in total local construction employment of 1,260 job-years. Engineering, Design, Permitting, Management. Similarly, as for construction civil works, it was assumed that local consultants would be engaged in this Project to benefit from local knowledge. Specifically, local employment was assumed at 35 annually over construction years based on HDR’s judgment of similar project needs and local labour market situation. As shown in Table 21 in Section 3, in 2019 White Pine County employment in the prof essional, scientific, and management services amounted to 173. The assumed Projectrelated employment of 35 accounts f or about 20 percent of industry employment. Over 7 years of construction duration this resulted in total local employment of 245 job-years. Equipment. No equipment will be purchased in White Pine County. Additional assumptions. Additional assumptions were made regarding non-resident work f orce that would be brought to the Project site and the potential impacts stemming from local expenditures of that workforce. 6 Total nation-wide construction-related employment f rom this Project was estimated based on construction/civil works costs presented in Table 2 and national input-output multipliers. It was f urther assumed that 80 percent of that workf orce will need to be present on-site due to the nature of the work. 7 This produced an average of 1,100 workers each year over the construction period. Given local employment of 180, non-resident workforce is estimated at 920 each year over construction period. Non-resident workforce will spend 5 percent of their employment income locally on consumption goods and services. Non-resident workforce will receive per-diem to cover additional accommodation and f ood costs. These per-diems were assumed at $50 per day and allocated equally to the hotel accommodation and restaurants industry.
This resulted in modelling assumptions shown in Table 3.
The impacts stemming from construction of work camps, or renovations of existing housing stock that may be required to accommodate the non-resident workforce were not included in this study. 7 Some of construction-related employment represents back-office support.

2.3.2 Facility Operations and Maintenance
At the time of conducting this analysis, labor requirements f or the operations and maintenance of the proposed Project were not f ully assessed. As a proxy f or this study, employment was assumed based on the analysis conducted by HDR for another pumped storage project of similar scale in terms of MW capacity (Seminoe Pumped Storage, Wyoming). That employment was estimated at 38, including technical staff, administrative, and supervisory positions. As in the case of construction impacts, industry employment can be used in IMPLAN to estimate economic impacts based on industry multipliers. The challenge with this approach is that IMPLAN data does not have any inf ormation f or the hydropower generation industry (IMPLAN industry # 39) in White Pine County or Nevada and all multipliers are zeroed out. To overcome this issue, multipliers for Nevada and White Pine County were generated based on national multipliers f or this industry and related industries, in particular the f ossil f uel power generation. This approach entailed the following assumptions. Nevada multipliers for hydropower generation: •
Direct multipliers for Nevada were assumed to be the same as US national direct multipliers.
•
Indirect and induced multipliers f or Nevada were assumed equal to a proportion of US national multipliers where the proportion was assumed to be equal to the proportion of Nevada/US national multipliers for the fossil fuel power generation industry (IMPLAN industry #40).
White Pine County multipliers for hydropower generation: •
Direct multipliers f or White Pine County were assumed to be the same as Nevada/US national direct multipliers.

•
Indirect and induced multipliers f or White Pine County were assumed equal to a proportion of Nevada multipliers where the proportion was assumed equal to the average proportion of White Pine County/Nevada multipliers f or industries related to management and operation tasks (machinery repair and maintenance, accounting and payroll services, insurance industries).
Table 4 below shows the multipliers used in this approach and the resulting multipliers f or hydroelectric power generation in Nevada and White Pine County (grey-colored rows). These were used to calculate economic impacts of operations of the proposed Project based on projections of 38 regular employees.

An additional methodological adjustment was needed f or the estimation of tax revenues f rom f acility operations. Since hydroelectric power generation is not present in IMPLAN data, the tool could not be used f or estimation of taxes stemming from White Pine Pumped Storage Project operations. Property taxes that the pumped storage f acility would have to pay were estimated based on 2021 edition of Property Tax Elements and Applications Manual from Nevada’s Department of Taxation. 8 Based on this manual, property tax due is calculated as follows: Taxable Value * Level of Assessment = Assessed Value Assessed Value * Tax Rate = Total Property Tax In the above f ormula, taxable value represents the value of land and the value or cost of improvements conducted on it. In terms of the incremental Project impacts, the cost of improvements can be thought of as the determinant of the impact (while the underlying value of land remains the same with the Project and without it). Level of assessment is the percentage rate that determines the assessed value which is then multiplied by the property tax rate to obtain the property tax. Depreciation is subtracted f rom the cost of improvements to obtain an estimate of current value of improvements each year. Depreciation rate, level of assessment, and tax rate are all determined by Nevada laws. Separate depreciation rate is used for the two general components of the improvement value, the “real property” and the “personal property” (essentially equipment). Real property is depreciated at 1.5 percent annually while equipment is depreciated at a variable accelerated rate that varies based on equipment life. For this study, a 15-year depreciation rate schedule was assumed, and specific annual depreciation rates were sourced from Nevada Personal Property Manual.9 Statutory assessed value rate is equal to 35 percent, and the tax rate in White Pine County is 3.66 percent. In addition, as a renewable energy project, the White Pine Pumped Storage f acility will be eligible f or property tax abatement (or reduction) of 55 percent f or 20 years. The assumptions are summarized in the table below. It is noted that these assumptions imply a property tax obligation that varies by year. The calculations of property taxes during the first 10 years of operations are shown in Table 6. The average annual property tax over 10 years is used to represent the property tax impact of Project operations reported in this study.

Other categories of taxes generated as a result of f acility operations – such as personal income taxes, social insurance taxes, sales taxes – were extrapolated from construction tax revenues in proportion to the relative economic impact measured by metrics expected to drive such taxes. For example, personal income taxes are related to labour income. Theref ore, personal income tax revenues f rom operations were estimated as follows: Personal Income Tax Revenues_ Operations = (Personal Income Tax Revenues_Construction/Labour Income_Construction) * Labour Income_Operations.

Given the assumptions made to allocate the construction expenditures, the impacts reported represent impacts by residence of workers and businesses (i.e., residence in White Pine County). It is the estimated magnitude of impact that will be experienced by White Pine County residents and businesses. The actual number of jobs in White Pine County due to the Project will be higher and include non-resident workforce working on Project site and coming to White Pine County from other Nevada counties and from other states. The effect of workers from Nevada is reflected in the impacts for the entire state of Nevada.

Social Impacts Analysis
This section analyzes the social impacts of the proposed Project that may be experienced in and around the host community. These impacts are in addition to jobs and business revenues attributable to the Project reported in Section 2. They represent the impacts on the way local communities function, impacts on their unique f eatures and characteristics and wellbeing of residents. They capture the perceptions of the Project impacts that various community members in White Pine County may have and the extent to which the County may be able to accommodate Project requirements. The analysis starts with the situational context of population trends and socio-economic profile of White Pine County and the communities expected to be directly affected by the Project, identified as Ely, McGill, and Ruth. The specific focus of the analysis is on the impacts on the following: •
Labor markets, employment and unemployment;
•
Housing;
•
Public services;
•
Displacements and right of way impacts;
•
Nevada Northern Railway; and
•
Hunting and wildlife viewing.
3.1 Population and Situational Context 3.1.1 Overview
White Pine County is a largely rural county located along the central eastern boundary of the State of Nevada. The County is sparsely populated with recent population counts of less than 10,000 people accounting for 0.34 percent of the state population. 13 The County is home to Great Basin National Park and characterized by topography with north-south mountain ranges separated by long narrow valleys. The area enjoys beautiful scenery with relatively undeveloped lands and a cool dry high desert climate. As shown in Figure 1 below, in 2019 total population in White Pine County was 9,580. Population counts show a declining trend in recent years. Over the years 2014-2019, population declined by 455 individuals, 4.5 percent in total, or 0.9 percent annually on average.

Ely, McGill, and Ruth are the closest communities to the Project vicinity and thus expected to be most af f ected by the Project. Ely is the largest city in White Pine County and the County seat. Historically, Ely was f ounded in the late 1800s as a stagecoach station and a trading post. It became a mining town with the discovery of copper in the late 1800s/early 1900s and gold deposits later in the 1900s. McGill is located 11 miles north of Ely while Ruth is located about 6 miles west. Both communities were established as mining company towns to house workers f rom nearby copper mines and a copper smelter. As shown in Table 20, the three communities combined account for more than half of White Pine County population. In 2018, Ely’s population was 4,149 accounting for 44 percent of the total County population. Population of McGill and Ruth were much smaller at 1,186 (12 percent of County total) and 448 (5 percent of County total), respectively.15 Table 20.

3.1.2 Expected Project Impacts
The Project is expected to bring to the County more than 900 non-resident construction-related workers during the construction period. This will boost the County’s population by more than 9 percent. In small rural communities, a population increase of this magnitude will be very noticeable. The temporary migrants may stimulate local businesses by increasing demand for consumer goods and services, ranging f rom groceries and haircuts to entertainment. At the same time, they may add to demand for various local Ibid. Population Estimates of Nevada’s Counties, Cities and Towns. 2010 to 2018.

public services which f ace constraints. These issues and the ability of the County to satisfy the new Projectrelated needs are discussed in more detail in the sections that follow. It is also noted that the temporary workers will likely be predominantly young people and likely predominantly males. 17 This may lead to some social tensions. The job generation during Project operations, estimated at 38 direct jobs and 27 indirect, is much smaller in magnitude. Many of these incremental jobs may be f illed locally resulting in limited if any noticeable population impacts.

Regarding the industrial structure of the economy, as mentioned earlier, Elly, McGill, and Ruth developed as mining communities and over the years experienced a boom-and-bust pattern of development related to the business cycle of mineral extraction. Mining activities continue to-date although the local smelter was closed in the 1980s. The State of Nevada opened a maximum-security prison, the Ely State Prison, on the western flank of the Steptoe Valley between Ely and McGill in 1989. The prison has an employment of 406, many of the employees can be expected to live in Ely or McGill. In addition to these relatively new residents, McGill residents and White Pine County real estate prof essionals report that there appears to be an emerging
The construction industry is traditionally dominated by males. As an example, across Nevada over 90 percent of employment in the construction industry was accounted for by males in 2019 (source: US Census Bureau, ACS 1-year estimates). 18 US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=United%20States&g=0100000US&tid=ASMAREA2017.AM1831B ASIC01&vintage=2017&layer=state&cid=DP05_0001E 17

market f or McGill houses among retirees and second home buyers, many of them f rom the southern Nevada/Las Vegas region. 19 As the County seat, Ely is also home to local County government providing County-managed services and f unctions. In addition, Ely hosts a Bureau of Land Management District Office as well as the William Bee Ririe Hospital which provides a comprehensive range of health services including 24-hour emergency services, general surgery, cardiology, and radiology. White Pine County can also be characterized as a destination for tourism and recreation taking advantage of spectacular mountain scenery and opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, camping, hunting, and star gazing in some of the darkest skies in the United States. A National Park Service study identified that 153,000 visitors to Great Basin National Park in 2018 spent $8.8 million in local White Pine County communities, supported 121 jobs in the community and a financial impact of $9.0 million dollars. 20 Table 21 shows employment by industry across the County in 2019. The table demonstrates that that mining provided the most jobs in White Pine County at 17.6 percent of total, f ollowed by public administration (15.7 percent of total) and accommodation and f ood services (12.4 percent of total). Construction supported 5.9 percent of jobs while professional services supported 4.8 percent. Table 21: Employment by Industry in White Pine County, 2019 21 Industry

It is notable that labor f orce participation rate in White Pine County was consistently lower than the state average. In 2019, it amounted to 47.7 percent compared to 63.7 percent for all of Nevada. This translates to a relatively smaller total active workforce in the County. Figure 3. Unemployment Rate, White Pine County and Nevada (2015-2019) 22 8.0%

Table 22 shows the various measures of income in White Pine County and in Nevada in 2015 and 2019. In 2019, household incomes tended to be lower in White Pine County overall than in Nevada on average. However, in Ruth household incomes were higher, especially if measured by median income. On the other hand, median earnings were higher in White Pine County than in Nevada, except for Ruth where they were much lower.
The table shows that between 2015 and 2019 household incomes as well as per capita income in Nevada increased by over 20 percent. Increase in median earnings was much smaller but it still amounted to nearly 17 percent. Income growth in White Pine County overall tended to be much smaller (depending on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Local Area Unemployment Statistics.

As outlined in the previous section, over the construction period of seven years (including 1 to 2 years of site inf rastructure) the Project is expected to create about 1,100 job opportunities in the construction-related industries through direct impacts at the Project site. Moreover, the Project is expected to create business US Census Bureau; Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE), https://www.census.gov/datatools/demo/saipe/#/?map_geoSelector=aa_c&s_year=2019,2018,2017,2016,2015,2014,2013,2012,2011, 2010&s_state=32&s_county=32033 . 28 American Community Survey. 5-year estimates, https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs. 27

opportunities related to the provision of various materials and services needed by the construction site (indirect impacts). Additional business opportunities will arise due to increased demand for consumer goods and services by the workers engaged in the Project directly and indirectly (induced impacts). The Project may thus be considered a considerable opportunity in the local economy. Although the unemployment rate in White Pine County is low at about 3 percent, labor f orce participation rate in the County is also very low at less than 50 percent. A low unemployment rate combined with a low participation rate may be indicative of existing pockets of “discouraged workers” or involuntary unemployed people who would like to work but stopped looking for a job due to a lack of success in their job search. This Project may offer many employment opportunities to these population groups. White Pine County will not be able to support all the construction workforce requirements of a large inf rastructure project such as this pumped storage power generation project. However, it may well be able to support some of the requirements. It is noted that in 2019 employment in the construction industry amounted to 215 and employment in the mining industry – an industry where workers could have skills transf erable to construction jobs – amounted to 640. In addition, employment in the professional services industry amounted to 173. This can be considered a reasonable labor pool f or hiring and outsourcing of project tasks and could be a source of experienced workforce with knowledge of local conditions. The labor pool could be even larger if labor force participation in the County could be increased. Individuals with an associate degree, a bachelor’s degree, or a graduate professional degree accounted f or 47 percent of people 25 years and over. They could offer talents and skills with direct relevance to the Project. In addition, the Project will increase demand f or services related to housing of the migrant workers, food services, various consumer goods sold in retail stores, personal services, and entertainment. Based on the assumptions adopted in this study, this demand is estimated to create over 200 jobs in the accommodation and f ood services industry. This represents more than 50 percent of existing employment in this industry in White Pine County (as shown in Table 21). Additional jobs would also be supported in the retail industry, various personal services, entertainment and recreation – although the magnitude of impact would be much smaller. The proposed Project is also aligned with County’s economic policies of development of renewable energy that includes wind, solar, and pumped storage hydropower projects. 29
3.3 Housing 3.3.1 Existing Housing Stock and Other Accommodation The total number of housing units in White Pine County has been f airly stable between 2015 and 2019, with an average of 4,492 units, as illustrated in Figure 7. Vacant housing in the County declined f rom a peak of 1,286 in 2016 to 1,008 in 2019 which represents a 25 percent decline.

The number of hotel establishments is estimated at 23 but information on the number of rooms and bookings/availability is not readily available. 33 Within a daily commuting distance (approximately 50 miles) of the Project, there are also 10 RV parks/campgrounds that can provide temporary housing to workers. The two largest of these, Ely KOA Journey and Valley View RV Park, offer a total of 172 RV sites. 34

3.3.2 Expected Project Impacts
Housing statistics presented above suggest that there are currently about 1,000 vacant housing units in the County, including 669 units in Ely, McGill, and Ruth. It is also noted that the rental vacancy rate of 12 percent can be considered high in typical market conditions. This is potentially sufficient to accommodate most of the non-resident workers during the construction phase of the Project. However, the condition, size, pricing, and market availability of the housing are not known. White Pine County’s 2020 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies report is pointing out significant shortages of housing across various housing types and a generally low inventory on the house resale market. The report even commented that “the lack of adequate housing has severely impacted the ability of the County to attract, recruit and retain new industry and workers who want to live and work in the community.” 35”. In March 2019, a group of local citizens held a “Housing Summit,” and invited developers, contractors, realtors and property owners. to attend and participate in solving the problem. The group worked with University of Nevada-Reno and Nevada Rural Housing to prepare an assessment of housing needed to attract employment. To assist, the County made property available to a developer willing to build housing, a contract has been signed and the first of needed housing is in the process of being built. The County will continue to evaluate and pursue options to increase needed housing. WPW anticipates that non-resident workers will not typically bring f amily members to the area f or the construction period. Considering that many of the construction trades will not be required on the Project for the entire duration, most non-resident workers are expected to prefer temporary housing such as hotels or RV sites.

To address the shortage of qualified teachers throughout the state, the Nevada State of Board of Education allows for Alternative Route to Licensure f or prospective teachers with college degrees in other majors to be employed as teachers while they take college classes in their teaching content area 44.
3.4.4 Expected Project Impacts
As discussed above, health care services and public education in White Pine County are already f acing limited resources. The ratio of physicians per 10,000 capita in White Pine County is significantly lower than the state average, and the number of teachers in the County has been declining in recent years. With 1000+ non-resident workers and their f amilies coming to the County, the Project is thus likely to place additional stress on these services. On the other hand, the County’s emergency services (medical and fire protection) seem to have capacity that is suf ficient for current County needs. They may also be able to accommodate the Project needs as well.
3.5 Displacement and Right of Way
Land use within the Conceptual Project Boundary includes primarily BLM-managed public lands; there are only a f ew small parcels that are privately owned (approximately 57.5 acres). Most of land cover includes woodland, desert scrub, grasslands, and shrubland, and there is very little developed land. 45 The Conceptual Project Boundary and adjacent lands are sparsely populated. Few if any displacements of residences or businesses will likely have to take place to build and operate the Project.
3.6 Nevada Northern Railway
Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) was a short-line railroad built in the early 1900s to service mining operations in White Pine County. The rail line extended f rom Ely northward to connections with major railroads (Class I railroads of the day). The railroad also operated passenger trains and local “commuter” trains. Faced with declining demand (declining mining activities and passenger demand), NNR suspended operations in the 1980s. Today, NNR is operated as a heritage railroad with a National Historic Landmark status. It offers passenger excursions (of about 90 minutes duration) between Ely, Ruth, and McGill using period equipment pulled by historic steam or diesel locomotives. In addition, special and theme trains (for example, the Haunted Ghost

Train, or the Wild West Train) provide additional recreation and entrainment opportunities. The old station depot in Ely offers walking tours of the rail yard complex with its still existing old facilities and rolling stock. 46 Most NNR excursion train trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A f ew trains each week during the summer season head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Conceptual Project Boundary as currently configured. This includes the Great Basin Star Train excursions and the Sunset, Stars, and Champagne excursions. The Great Basin Star Train is scheduled once a week f or 18 weeks during the 2022 season. The Sunset, Stars, and Champagne excursion is scheduled twice a week for 18 weeks during the 2022 season. 47 The Project may affect the views f rom the trains. In addition, the Project’s lighting at night may interfere with NNR’s star gazing programs. This may reduce the attractiveness of the rides to some passengers and perhaps reduce demand. The specific analyses related to the visual impacts of the Project, NNR visitor use, visitor perceptions, attitudes, and sensitivities will be conducted as a part of the recreation resources study. The impact on NNR will depend on the extent of visitor sensitivities to changes in landscape and effectiveness of impact mitigation (e.g., extent to which lighting can be managed). The impact on the star gazing program will also depend on the amount of light emitted by the Project and its location in relation to the location of the star gazing platforms/areas. Impacts during construction are potentially larger as the views and perceptions of the area may also be af f ected by the location of the staging areas, dust, and noise of the construction itself. To offset any impacts, the construction schedule could be adjusted in a way such that activities potentially creating impacts do not take place at the time when the trains are scheduled to approach the vicinity of the Project. Overall, the impacts on NNR likely will be limited to a portion of one branch line north of Ely. Broader significant impacts on tourism to White Pine County seem unlikely.
3.7 Hunting and Wildlife Viewing
The expansive amount of public land in White Pine County provides vast amounts of habitat for a variety of wildlife including big game species such as elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep and antelope, a variety of bird species, both migratory and resident, including sage grouse, as well as a variety of reptile, small mammal, and f ish species. The County is home to some of the largest big game herds in the State of Nevada, making White Pine County one of Nevada’s premier hunting and wildlife viewing destinations. 48 The activities are popular among White Pine County residents as well, and – based on some accounts – “almost everyone in the County is an avid hunter”. 49 Based on work conducted as a part of Project recreational resources study, there are no scenic byways, National Trails, designated Wilderness Areas, designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers, or rivers listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory within approximately 10 miles of the Project. This does not necessarily imply a less abundant wildlife in the Project vicinity. Also, big game animals require large amounts of Based on information available on Nevada Northern Railway Museum, How to get to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, Nevada (nnry.com) (accessed September 2021). 47 Based on information available on Nevada Northern Railway, https://www.nnry.com/pages/special.php (accessed October 2021). 48 White Pine County Public Lands Policy Plan, 2018; WPCPublicLandsPolicyPlan2018 (whitepinecounty.net) (accessed September 2021). 49 White Pine County Living, Hunting: White Pine County | White Pine Living (accessed September 2021). 46

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern: The attached species list indicates threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species and designated or proposed critical habitat that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), for projects that are authori]ed, funded, or carried out by a Federal agency. Candidate species have no protection under the ESA but are included for consideration because they could be listed prior to the completion of your project. Consideration of these species during project planning may assist species conservation efforts and may prevent the need for future listing actions. For additional information regarding species that may be found in the proposed project area, visit http:// www.fws.gov/nevada/es/ipac.html. The purpose of the ESA is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the ESA and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or

designated or proposed critical habitat. *uidelines for preparing a Biological Assessment can be found at: http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/section7/ba_guide.html. If a Federal action agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this species list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally listed, proposed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally, as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation, for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the attached list. The Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (NFWO) no longer provides species of concern lists. Most of these species for which we have concern are also on the Animal and Plant At-Risk Tracking List for Nevada (At-Risk list) maintained by the State of Nevadaµs Natural Heritage Program (Heritage). Instead of maintaining our own list, we adopted Heritage s At-Risk list and are partnering with them to provide distribution data and information on the conservation needs for at-risk species to agencies or project proponents. The mission of Heritage is to continually evaluate the conservation priorities of native plants, animals, and their habitats, particularly those most vulnerable to extinction or in serious decline. In addition, in order to avoid future conflicts, we ask that you consider these at-risk species early in your project planning and explore management alternatives that provide for their long-term conservation. For a list of at-risk species by county, visit Heritage's website (http://heritage.nv.gov). For a specific list of at-risk species that may occur in the project area, you can obtain a data request form from the website (http://heritage.nv.gov/get_data) or by contacting the Administrator of Heritage at 901 South Stewart Street, Suite 5002, Carson City, Nevada 89701-5245, (775) 684-2900. Please indicate on the form that your request is being obtained as part of your coordination with the Service under the ESA. During your project analysis, if you obtain new information or data for any Nevada sensitive species, we request that you provide the information to Heritage at the above address. Furthermore, certain species of fish and wildlife are classified as protected by the State of Nevada (http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NAC/NAC-503.html). <ou must first obtain the appropriate license, permit, or written authorization from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to

take, or possess any parts of protected fish and wildlife species. Please visit http:// www.ndow.org or contact NDOW in northern Nevada (775) 688-1500, in southern Nevada (702) 486-5127, or in eastern Nevada (775) 777-2300. Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the Service's wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. The Serviceµs Pacific Southwest Region developed the Interim Guidelines for the Development of a Project Specific Avian and Bat Protection Plan for Wind Energy Facilities (Interim Guidelines). This document provides energy facility developers with a tool for assessing the risk of potential impacts to wildlife resources and delineates how best to design and operate a birdand bat-friendly wind facility. These Interim Guidelines are available upon request from the NFWO. The intent of a Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy is to conserve wildlife resources while supporting project developers through: (1) establishing project development in an adaptive management framework; (2) identifying proper siting and project design strategies; (3) designing and implementing pre-construction surveys; (4) implementing appropriate conservation measures for each development phase; (5) designing and implementing appropriate post-construction monitoring strategies; (6) using post-construction studies to better understand the dynamics of mortality reduction (e.g., changes in blade cut-in speed, assessments of blade ²feathering³ success, and studies on the effects of visual and acoustic deterrents) including efforts tied into Before-After/Control-Impact analysis; and (7) conducting a thorough risk assessment and validation leading to adjustments in management and mitigation actions. The template and recommendations set forth in the Interim Guidelines were based upon the Avian Powerline Interaction Committeeµs Avian Protection Plan template (http://www.aplic.org/) developed for electric utilities and modified accordingly to address the unique concerns of wind energy facilities. These recommendations are also consistent with the Serviceµs wind energy guidelines. We recommend contacting us as early as possible in the planning process to discuss the need and process for developing a site-specific Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy. The Service has also developed guidance regarding wind power development in relation to prairie grouse leks (sage-grouse are included in this). This document can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/southwest/es/Oklahoma/documents/te_species/wind%20power/ prairie%20grouse%20lek%205%20mile%20public.pdf. Migratory Birds are a Service Trust Resource. Based on the Service's conservation responsibilities and management authority for migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), we recommend that any land clearing or other surface disturbance associated with proposed actions within the project area be timed to avoid potential destruction of bird nests or young, or birds that breed in the area. Such destruction may be in violation of the MBTA. Under the MBTA, nests with eggs or young of migratory birds may not be harmed, nor may migratory birds be killed. Therefore, we recommend land clearing be conducted outside the avian breeding season. If this is not feasible,

we recommend a qualified biologist survey the area prior to land clearing. If nests are located, or if other evidence of nesting (i.e., mated pairs, territorial defense, carrying nesting material, transporting food) is observed, a protective buffer (the size depending on the habitat requirements of the species) should be delineated and the entire area avoided to prevent destruction or disturbance to nests until they are no longer active. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects involving communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/comtow.html. If wetlands, springs, or streams are are known to occur in the project area or are present in the vicinity of the project area, we ask that you be aware of potential impacts project activities may have on these habitats. Discharge of fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States is regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended. We recommend you contact the ACOEµs Regulatory Section regarding the possible need for a permit. For projects located in northern Nevada (Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey, and Washoe Counties) contact the Reno Regulatory Office at 300 Booth Street, Room 3060, Reno, Nevada 89509, (775) 784-5304; in southern Nevada (Clark, Lincoln, Nye, and White Pine Counties) contact the St. George Regulatory Office at 321 North Mall Drive, Suite L-101, St. George, Utah 84790-7314, (435) 986-3979; or in California along the eastern Sierra contact the Sacramento Regulatory Office at 650 Capitol Mall, Suite 5-200, Sacramento, California 95814, (916) 557-5250.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act1 and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act2. Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below. 1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. 2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. 3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a) The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below. For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project area.

Probability Of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.

2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort ( ) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data ( ) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence

Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal.

birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Executive Summary
The aquatic resources delineation was completed by HDR on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW). The Aquatic Resources Study Area (study area) is 1,699 acres and is located in White Pine County, Nevada. The delineation was conducted f rom June 28 through July 1, 2021, in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) methodologies outlined in Part IV, Section D, of the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Corps Manual) (Environmental Laboratory 1987), the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region Version 2.0 (Supplement) (Environmental Laboratory 2008), and A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (OHWM Manual) (Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory 2008). The Supplement was used where inconsistencies exist between the Corps Manual and the Supplement. This report presents (1) relevant available literature; (2) f indings of climate, topographical, hydrological, and soil data; (3) f indings of collected field data; (4) the location and extent of aquatic resources in the study area; and (5) an analysis discussing Corps jurisdiction. Thirty-one (31) f eatures (a total of 1.00-acre) were mapped in the study area that were assigned to f our f eature classes: perennial channel (PC), ephemeral channel (EC), f reshwater emergent wetland (W), and willow scrub wetland (W). Table ES-1 summarizes aquatic resource acreages in the study area by f eature class. Based on the delineations identif ied in this report, none of the aquatic resources identif ied in the study area are considered Waters of the U.S. as they are within closed hydrological basins with no outlets or tributary connections to Traditional Navigable Waters.

Introduction
This Aquatic Resources Delineation Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of licensing and permitting for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [FERC] No. 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the aquatic resources delineation conducted in 2021.
1.1
Overview
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely (Figure 1). The Project includes a 1,000-megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage f acility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surf ace conduits , a powerhouse, and the associated generation, pumping, and transmission f acilities. The Project will be located entirely of f -stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water used to f ill the reservoir system and the make-up water required f or evaporation losses will be pumped f rom groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County f rom well sites north o f the Town of McGill. This report describes the existing biological environment, summarizes the data collected during the f ield investigation, describes the location and extent of aquatic resources in the study area, and provides a detailed analysis which concludes there are no jurisdictional aquatic resources in the study area. This report f acilitates the f ollowing efforts:

•
Provide background information.
•
Provide detailed inf ormation the Corps may use to f acilitate review of the approved jurisdictional determination request.
•
Provide a preliminary assessment of the potential f or f ederally listed and/or candidate species to occur in the study area, as well as cultural resources.
Study Area
The study area consists of all lands projected to be af fected by Project construction and operation for which access permission was granted . These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as an approximately 100-f oot buffer surrounding each. Access was not granted f or private parcels located in the Smith Valley portion of the study area.

Aquatic Resources
HDR wetland scientists perf ormed the aquatic resources delineation f rom June 28 through July 1, 2021. The delineation f ollowed Part IV, Section D, of the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Corps Manual) (Environmental Laboratory 1987); the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region Version 2.0 (Supplement) (Environmental Laboratory 2008); and A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (OHWM Manual) (Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory 2008). The Supplement was f ollowed when there were inconsistencies between the Corps Manual and the Supplement. Most aquatic resources were mapped using a Trimble R1 GNSS Handheld Receiver with submeter accuracy. Ref erence lines and data points f or the OHWM of linear drainages , wetland boundaries, and other wetland data were subsequently exported to the ArcGIS sof tware program, then overlain on current aerial imagery and available topographic contours for the purpose of digitizing the extent of the f eatures. Some portions of the study area were inaccessible because of steep slopes, dense vegetation, or access was not granted; theref ore, some aquatic resources were edited and digitized using ESRI ArcGIS sof tware based on aerial photos and topographic contours. A binocular scan of private parcels in which access was not granted was also used to gather inf ormation to inf orm digitizing the extent of f eatures using ESRI ArcGIS sof tware. All aquatic resources are represented in the mapbook provided in Appendix B. Data for each aquatic resource were recorded and representative photographs were taken. Datasheets can be f ound in Appendix C. Representative photographs are included in Appendix D, along with maps showing the location and compass direction of each photograph (Figure D-1).
Linear Drainage Features A combination of Level 1 (Onsite Inspection Unnecessary) and Level 2 (Onsite Inspection Necessary) of the Routine Determination Method was chosen f or delineating perennial and ephemeral channels. Linear drainage f eatures were evaluated to identif y type based on the f low regime in an average precipitation year, such as ephemeral, intermittent, or perennial. The OHWM of a representative subset of f eatures was delineated by collecting ref erence lines or points along their banks or by walking the center line of the f eature and applying a standard channel width. In addition, detailed data f or linear drainage f eatures were collected, including OHWM indicators and extent of the active channel; stream f orms present, such as pools, rif fles, and runs; average water depth in channels and pools; presence of woody debris; channel characteristics, such as narrow/deep and wide/shallow; stream bottom characteristics; and vegetative cover. To def ine the OHWM, f eatures were evaluated f or the presence of shelving, vegetation wracking, deposition, changes in soil character, scouring, water staining, and changes in plant community (Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory 2008). Once suf f icient representative data was collected f or ephemeral channels, topographic contours and aerial photo-interpretation were used to desktop map ephemeral channels with similar characteristics to ephemeral channels in which detailed data was already collected. This extrapolation method was primarily used f or areas that were not accessible due to being on private property or were dif ficult to access due to the terrain or limited access roads . However, most areas were able to be observed f rom a distance. Ephemeral channels with similar gradients, primary OHWM indicator (bed and bank or 4 | November 2021

OHWM), sediment sorting, OHWM widths, and vegetation cover were grouped together on datasheets with notes describing any variations among the channels. All NHD f lowlines and aerial imagery which appeared to have hydrologic signatures were verif ied in the f ield f or OHWM indicators and other secondary characteristics such as sediment sorting, a change in plants species, or a change in vegetation cover. For any NHD f lowlines or aerial imagery that was verif ied to have no primary or secondary indicators required to meet the def inition of a linear drainage, a ref erence point and photos were taken. A map and photo locations are provided in Appendix D.
Wetlands A combination of Level 1 (Onsite Inspection Unnecessary) and Level 2 (Onsite Inspection Necessary) of the Routine Determination Method was chosen f or delineating wetlands. This methodology included collecting detailed data on vegetation coverage by species, documentation of signs of hydrology, and soil characterization at representative wetland types . Dominant plants associated with aquatic resources and adjacent uplands were identif ied to species, when possible. Each plant species was then assigned a wetland indicator status rating based on the Corps’ 2018 National Wetland Plant List (Version 3.4). The Corps assigns an indicator status to designate a plant species’ likelihood of occurrence in wetlands (hydrophytic plants) or uplands (Corps 2018). A hydrophyte or hydrophytic plant is a plant species that possesses physiological traits that allow the plant to grow and persist in soils subject to inundation and anaerobic soil conditions. Some plants were only identif iable to genus as they had no reproductive parts. In instances where plants were identif iable only to genus, the wetland indicator status was assigned by reviewing the most common status f or the species of that genus known f rom the region. Soils were evaluated using paired data points in close proximity to the delineated boundary of each wetland. Exploratory soil pits were also dug in areas that appeared to support some hydrophytic vegetation but did not have any other apparent wetland indicators. In these cases, data points were collected as single upland data points. Twelve-inch-deep soil pits were dug at each data point, where possible, and assessed f or hydric soil indicators. Af ter evaluating vegetation and soils, hydrology was evaluated at each potential wetland. Positive signs of hydrology were determined by the presence of one or more primary or secondary indicators including, but not limited to, surf ace water and soil saturation (Environmental Laboratory 2008).

Existing Conditions
This section describes the regional and environmental setting of the study area, including the climate, topography, hydrology, soils, vegetation, aquatic resources, and level of human or natural disturbance. It also discusses f ederally listed species and cultural resources that may occur in the study area.
4.1
Climate
Local climate data was obtained f rom the NRCS Climate Analysis f or Wetlands by County (USDA 2021b). Like much of Nevada, there is little precipitation and extreme temperature variation across the study area. From 2000-2021, precipitation that f ell as rain ranged f rom an average high of 1.12 inches in May to an average low of 0.53-inch in June. Precipitation that f ell as snow ranged f rom an average high of 9.9 inches in January to an average low of 0.1-inch in June with typically no snowf all in July or

August. Mean temperatures ranged f rom an average high of 68.3 degrees Fahrenheit in July to an average low of 25.5 degrees Fahrenheit in January. Table 1 shows the precipitation amounts recorded at the Ely Airport NRCS Weather Station f or the 2020-2021 water year, compared with the 20-year average (2000-2020). The 2020-2021 water year was drier than average, which likely resulted in lowf low conditions for linear drainages and wetlands with less saturation than in an average precipitation year (USDA 2021b). Additionally, the Antecedent Precipitation Tool yielded drier than normal conditions f or all days at the west terminus and east terminus of the study area with the exception of normal conditions on July 1, 2021, at the west terminus of the study area. The NRCS climate report and Antecedent Precipitation Tool output is provided in Appendix E.

Topography
The topography in the study area is typical of the basin and range province f ound in Nevada, with northsouth trending valleys and mountains. Elevations in the study area range f rom approximately 6,151 f eet above mean sea level, where the study area crosses US-93, to approximately 8,636 f eet above mean sea level at the proposed upper reservoir along the Duck Creek Range. From west to east, the study area crosses the f ollowing mountains and mountain ranges: Robinson Summit, Egan Range, the f oothills of Heusser Mountain, and the Duck Creek Range. Major valleys include Smith Valley, Steptoe Valley, and Duck Creek Valley.
4.3
Hydrology
The study area f alls within the Long-Ruby Valleys and Spring-Steptoe Valleys subbasins (Hydrologic Unit Codes [HUC] 16060007 and 16060008). More specif ically, the Project f alls within the f ollowing subwatersheds: Jakes Valley-Illipah Creek (160600070206), Summit Spring (160600070203), Upper Gleason Creek (16060081201), Smith Valley (160600081401), Steptoe Slough-Duck Creek (160600081402), and Gilf ord Creek-Duck Creek (160600081302) (Figure 2). All of the ephemeral channels originate in the surrounding mountains and water f lowing down these channels likely only reaches the valley f loor during heavy f low events. Duck Creek and one of its unnamed tributaries are the only channels in the study area that f low perennially. Duck Creek originates east of the Duck Creek Range on Forest Service land on the west slope of the Schell Creek Range. Tributaries of Duck Creek f low in f rom the east and include Berry Creek, Timber Creek, Bird Creek, East Creek, and North Creek. These tributaries originate in the upper elevations of the Schell Creek Mountain Range, within the

Humboldt National Forest. Duck Creek f lows north through Gallagher Gap and divides into several small channels bef ore f lowing into a large alluvial f an north of the Town of McGill. Duck Creek is used f or irrigation and other purposes and then f lows into Tailings Creek and Bassett Lake. During periods of very high f lows, Duck Creek has reached Bassett Lake, about 5 miles northwest of McGill. Duck Creek continues as outf low f rom Basset Lake, f lowing north. Approximately 47 miles to the north of the headwaters, in extremely wet years with high snowpack, Duck Creek occasionally flows into Goshute Lake, a normally dry lakebed which sits on the border of White Pine and Elko counties (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 1967).
4.4
Soils
The NRCS Web Soil Survey (USDA 2021a) identif ies 31 soil types in the study area (Appendix F). Inf ormation on hydric soil ratings by soil type was also obtained from the Web Soil Survey. “Hydric” means that 100 percent of the components listed for a given map unit meet hydric soils criteria. “Predominantly hydric” means that 66 to 99 percent of the components listed f or a given map unit meet hydric soils criteria. “Partially hydric” means that 33 to 66 percent of the map unit components meet hydric soils criteria. “Nonhydric” means that none of the map unit components meet hydric soils criteria. The Devilsgait-Duf fer-Kunzler association is considered partially hydric and is 1.4 percent of the study area, a total of 23.8 acres. All other soils in the study area are ranked as nonhydric. Additional details on soils can be f ound in the NRCS soils report provided in Appendix F as well as a soils map in Appendix G.
4.5
Vegetation Communities
Vegetation communities are assemblages of plant species that occur in the same area and are def ine d by species composition and relative abundance. The study area is dominated by Great Basin PinyonJuniper Woodland, Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland, and Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (Appendix H). A total of 25 land cover types and vegetation communities were f ound in the study area, some of which have varying f orms that dif fer f rom the primary type or community as def ined in the LANDFIRE classif ication system (USDA 2020). Full descriptions of these land cover types and vegetation communities are included below. These descriptions include the dominant and common associated plant species f ound in each community. A complete list of all plant species observed in the study area is provided in Appendix I. Most of the upland vegetation communities listed below have an herbaceous community with a low to moderate amount of cover, as well as perennial grasses with a low to moderate amount of cover. The most commonly encountered herb species include cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus), James’ cryptantha (Cryptantha cinera var. abortiva), f lat spine sheepbur (Lappula occidentalis), long spur lupine (Lupinus arbustus), desert Indian paintbrush (Castilleja chromosa), and Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). The most common perennial grasses included thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii), and Indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides).

4.5.1
Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland
This vegetation community occurs in three f orms throughout the study area, based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with minimal bare ground. Open and very open canopy f orms have a high cover of shrub species with bare ground making up the remainder of the habitat, dif fering in tree cover density f rom approximately 5 to 20 percent f or the open canopy f orm to less than 5 percent f or the very open canopy f orm. This vegetation community is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), with the majority of areas having more Utah juniper cover. A shrub community is present and total cover is generally inversely proportional to the tree cover, with primarily low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), and musk phlox (Phlox hoodii ssp. muscoides). The herbaceous community cover and perennial grasses are also generally inversely proportional to the tree cover.
4.5.2
Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral
This vegetation community occurs at the upper reservoir and is dominated by antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of perennial grasses, matted wild buckwheat, and broom snakeweed. Scattered Utah juniper trees do occur in this vegetation community but at minimal cover. The herb community has minimal cover, with a moderate to high amount of bare ground. This vegetation community is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland, described below, but has low sagebrush species (Artemisia spp.) cover.
4.5.3
Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland
This vegetation community occurs throughout the study area and is dominated by little sagebrush and/or black sagebrush in the shrub community, with lesser occurrences of broom matchweed, rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated Utah juniper trees may occur in this vegetation community, but at no more than one percent cover. The herb community has a relatively low amount of cheatgrass cover. This vegetation community is similar to Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral, but it is essentially devoid of antelope bitterbrush. This vegetation community has f our f orms in addition to the standard f orm described above. A big sagebrush shrubland f orm is present at various places along the proposed transmission line. This f orm dif f ers from the standard f orm in that it has co-dominance with big sagebrush, but not at suf f icient cover to def ine it as Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland. A disturbed f orm is present at the west end of the proposed lower reservoir and appears to be disturbed f rom an abandoned development. This f orm differs f rom the standard form in that it has approximately half the vegetation cover. A juniper savannah f orm occurs at the eastern half of the proposed lower reservoir and along an access road to the proposed upper reservoir and dif fers f rom the standard f orm in that it has scattered clusters of Utah juniper, but not at suf f icient levels to define it as a juniper woodland . The juniper savannah f orm also has a higher cover of perennial grass species. Lastly, a serviceberry shrubland f orm occurs along the middle portion of the proposed transmission line. This f orm dif fers from the standard f orm in that the dominant shrub species is alder leaf serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) with low sagebrush as a co-dominant species.

Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland
This vegetation community occurs along the proposed transmission line. It is dominated in the shrub community by big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) with scattered occurrences of low sagebrush, black sagebrush, and rubber rabbitbrush. This vegetation type has minimal grass or herb cover and has disturbed f orms near SR-490 and in Smith Valley with approximately 75 percent bare ground.
4.5.5
Inter-Mountain Basins Cliff and Canyon
This land cover type occurs at the proposed upper reservoir and is an exposed rocky cliff face surrounded by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe and Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland. Although scattered individuals from the plant species in those habitats do occur on the clif f , total vegetation cover is minimal.
4.5.6
Inter-Mountain Basins Curl-Leaf Mountain Mahogany Woodland
This vegetation community occurs at the proposed upper reservoir and is dominated by curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) in the tree community. Sagebrush is present in this vegetation community at a relatively low cover and Utah juniper is nearly absent. Other species in the shrub community include Utah snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus var. utahensis), broom matchweed, and perennial grasses. The herb community has minimal to moderate cheatgrass cover along with cover f rom other herb species.
4.5.7
Inter-Mountain Basins Greasewood Flat
This vegetation community occurs in the Smith Valley portion of the proposed trans mission line. It is dominated by greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus) in the shrub community with scattered occurrences of shadscale and rubber rabbitbrush.
4.5.8
Inter-Mountain Basins Meadow
This vegetation community occurs between the proposed central and east ern upper reservoir staging area and is dominated in the herb community by matted muhly (Muhlenbergia richardsonis), Arctic rush (Juncus balticus), Douglas’ sedge (Carex douglasii), and western dock (Rumex occidentalis), with great basin lyme grass (Leymus cinereus) around the margin of the vegetation community.
4.5.9
Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Desert Scrub
This vegetation community occurs along the proposed transmission line and at the western end of the proposed lower reservoir. It is dominated by either winterf at and Indian ricegrass, or by sticky flower rabbitbrush in the shrub layer with some scattered and isolated broom matchweed and low sagebrush cover. The herb community has minimal cover and bare ground comprises approximately 25 percent of the area. This vegetation community is similar to the f ormally described Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Salt Desert Scrub; however, it is devoid of saltbush.

Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Riparian System
This vegetation community occurs at the east end of the study area. It is dominated by narrow leaf willow (Salix exigua) and Booth’s willow (Salix boothii) in the tree community, with some lesser cover of ash leaf maple (Acer negundo) in a closed canopy. The shrub community has sparsely scattered occurrences of Wood’s rose (Rosa woodsii) and golden current (Ribes aureum). Rubber rabbitbrush and big sagebrush occur above the banks of this community. An herbaceous community is present along the banks of Duck Creek containing Arctic rush, Sierran rush (Juncus nevadensis), Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis), tuf ted hair grass (Deschampsia cespitosa), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).
4.5.11
Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe
This vegetation community occurs at the proposed lower and upper reservoirs and is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but dif fers in that perennial grass species range f rom subdominant to codominant with sagebrush species. The tree community is nearly absent. Other shrub species are present, including winterf at (Krascheninnikovia lanata) at lower elevations and lava aster (Ionactis alpina) and stemless mock goldenweed (Stenotus acaulis var. acaulis) at higher elevations. An herb community is present but of relatively low cover. Bare ground makes up approximately 25 to 75 percent of the landscape in this community.
4.5.12
Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland
This vegetation community occurs at the northern portion of the proposed lower reservoir and is dominated by perennial grasses, with some cover of broom matchweed and little sagebrush. The herb community has minimal cover. The rest of the habitat is comprised of patches of pinnate tansymustard (Descurainia sophia), thick stem wild cabbage (Caulanthus crassicaulis), and bare ground.
4.5.13
Invasive Annual Grassland
This vegetation community occurs along US-93 at the proposed lower reservoir and is dominated by cheatgrass with scattered occurrences of pinnate tansymustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus) and crossf lower (Chorispora tenella).
4.5.14
Agriculture, Developed, Hardscape Road, and Railroad
Agriculture occurs along the proposed transmission line and consists of various planted crops. Developed areas occur at opposite ends of the proposed transmission line consisting of an electrical substation at the west end and a private junkyard at the east end. Hardscaped areas consist of all paved roads and any other paved areas in the study area. The railroad land cover type consists of the inactive railroad line and active railroad line running north-south through the proposed lower reservoir.
4.5.15
Disturbed
This land cover type occurs at scattered locations along the transmission line, typically as a transition f rom development to a natural habitat with minimal vegetation cover. Additionally, this land cover type also occurs at the upper reservoir around McGill Spring, which has been impacted heavily by a vertical culvert, f encing, and intensive cattle grazing. Vegetation outside of the f encing around McGill Spring is heavily trampled and grazed. As a result, the ground cover is mostly thatch. November 2021 | 11

4.6.1
Perennial Channel
PC1f and PC1g, a reach of Duck Creek, is a meandering or sinuous channel that f lows f rom south to north through the easternmost portion of the study area. The average width of the OHWM of the channel is three f eet based on changes in vegetation species and cover, sediment sorting, and break in slope. Duck Creek f lows over one dirt road crossing in the study area. On the north side of the road crossing, the channel banks are deeply incised, likely due to erosion f rom the road crossing. Duck Creek’s longitudinal prof ile from the south side of the road to the north side of the road (upstream to downstream), drastically decreases in elevation and changes f rom a moderate to high gradient f or approximately 100 f eet bef ore the channel’s gradient returns to a moderate gradient. Surf ace water depth ranges f rom approximately 3-6 inches throughout the portions of Duck Creek in the study area. The sediment texture in the OHWM consists of mainly pebbles and cobbles. Duck Creek’s active f loodplain is distinguished by a change in plant community to either herbaceous vegetation consisting of mostly Juncus sp. and Carex sp. species or scrub stands of Salix sp. which are up to 10 f eet high in some areas. The low-f low channel had little vegetation growing in-stream but a predominance of vegetation cover f rom adjacent Salix sp. overhanging into the low-f low channel. Sediment texture in the low-f low channel is primarily pebbles and granules while herbaceous vegetation in the active f loodplain consists of a silty sediment texture. PC2 is a sinuous, low gradient tributary to Duck Creek and f lows f rom east to west where it converges with Duck Creek just south of the road crossing. The average width of the OHWM of the channel is 3 f eet based on the presence of a bed and bank and a change in vegetation cover f rom little to no vegetation to a predominance of herbaceous vegetation consisting of Juncus sp. and Carex sp. The active f loodplain is dominated by herbaceous vegetation and sediment is a silty texture. Surf ace water depth was approximately 4 inches on June 30, 2021. PC1f , PC1g, and PC2 had low turbidity at the time

of the study based on visual observations of a clear or non-cloudy water column throughout the study area.
4.6.2
Ephemeral Channel
EC1-EC53 vary f rom low to moderate gradients with the average width of the OHWM portion of the channels varying f rom 1 to 6 f eet. Channels in the western portion of the study area and the proposed upper reservoir are generally moderate gradient channels , while channels in the valley portions of the study are low gradient with some braided channels on valley f loors which are consistent with alluvial f an systems in arid west regions. OHWM indicators were primarily identif ied based on a break in slope, change in sediment texture, and a change in vegetation cover f rom little to no vegetation to upland vegetation. Upland vegetation in the valley portions of the study area consisted of primarily sagebrush, greasewood, and rabbitbrush. Higher elevations had upland vegetation consisting of juniper trees and a mix of sagebrush species. Sediment texture in-stream ranges f rom coarse silt to cobble. No surf ace water was present in any of the ephemeral channels at the time of the study. For details on how each aquatic resource was characterized and grouped, ref er to datasheets in Appendix C.
4.6.3
Freshwater Emergent Wetland
W2 is located on the eastern end of the study area, southwest of the McGill Spring area. Soil pits were not gathered as the area is located on a private parcel and digging was not permitted. Based on the presence of wetland hydrology and hydrophytic vegetation, W2 is considered a f reshwater emergent wetland as def ined by the Corps Manual. This f eature is heavily dominated by Juncus balticus and Carex douglasii, with secondary wetland hydrology indicators that include drainage pat terns and meeting the Facultative Plants (FAC)-neutral test as def ined in the Corps manual. The position of the hillslope north of this wetland provides evidence that there may be water seepage f rom overland f low as well as subsurf ace water f rom McGill Spring. Drainage patterns include EC45 which traverses the wetland f rom west to east. W4i-W4r are f ringing wetlands along PC1f , PC1g, and PC2. This wetland is dominated by Juncus nevadensis and Carex nebrascensis, with an overstory of scrub-shrub species (predominantly willow) in some areas. Hydric soils are present as the soil matrix was depleted as described in the Supplement. Wetland hydrology indicators included soil saturation throughout the soil pit as well as aerial photography from 2015 where saturation is visible.
4.6.4
Willow Scrub Wetland
W5 qualif ies as a willow scrub wetland as surf ace water was present along with a high water table. Dominant hydrophytic species included Salix exigua and Salix boothii, with an understory of Juncus sp. Due to the thick root system and presence of approximately four inches of surf ace water, hydric soils were assumed and the soil pit gathered f or W4 was used as a representative soil pit. The soil pit f or W4 is in close proximity to W5 and is similar in its landf orm position in a valley as well as concave local relief . W4 and W5 also receive similar amounts of inundation as they both abut PC1f , PC1g, and PC2. Willow communities north of the road crossing are not wetlands as they did not have wetland hydrology indicators or hydric soils. See datasheets f or UP6a and UP6b in Appendix C f or more detail.

Non-Jurisdictional Aquatic Resources
This section provides an analysis describing the regional hydrology in relation to each aquatic resource in the study area to determine whether any aquatic resources are jurisdictional per Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Mapping of the nearest Traditional Navigable Water, and a regional hydrology map are appended to this report. The nearest Traditional Navigable Water is the Colorado River which is within the HUC-2, Region 15 Lower Colorado watershed. The Colorado River is approximately 215 miles south of the study area, and the boundary of the northernmost point of the Lower Colorado watershed is approximately 7 miles south of the study area. EC1 and EC2 f low f rom east to west through the study area within the Jakes Valley-Illipah Creek subwatershed. Both of these channels turn to sheet f low prior to reaching Illipah Creek , which is the nearest waterbody. EC3-EC5 f low f rom southeast to northwest through the study area and are within the Summit Spring subwatershed. These channels are tributaries to several unnamed ephemeral drainages that f low northwest over Highway 50 bef ore f lowing southerly into Jakes Valley where they turn to sheet f low prior to reaching Illipah Creek. During large storms events , these channels may reach Illipah Creek, but likely most of the year they do not contribute any f low to Illipah Creek. Illipah Creek terminates in Jakes Valley and f low either inf iltrates, evaporates, or transpiration occurs through plants. EC6 (Gleason Creek) f lows f rom north to south through the study area within the Upper Gleason Creek subwatershed. EC6 continues southerly through the Lower Gleason Creek subwatershed, east through the Ely-Murry Creek watershed, then northerly through the Steptoe Slough-Duck Creek subwatershed where it converges with Steptoe Creek. Gleason Creek f lows into Murry Creek which then converges with Steptoe Creek. Steptoe Creek is a tributary to Tailings Creek , then Duck Creek, where it f inally empties into Goshute Lake. Goshute Lake has no outlets , so water either inf iltrates to groundwater, evaporates, or transpiration occurs through plants. EC53 and EC7 f low f rom south to north through the study area and turn to sheet f low prior to converging with any drainages. EC49-EC52 and EC8 f low generally f rom south to north through the study area, converge with an unnamed drainage that f lows f rom west to east through Hercules Gap along NV -490 into the Smith Valley where they eventually empty into Steptoe Creek. As discussed above, Steptoe Creek eventually empties into Goshute Lake. EC9-EC12 f low f rom south to north through the study area and are tributaries to Steptoe Creek. EC13 and EC23 generally f low f rom east to west through the study area and are tributaries to Steptoe Creek as well. EC27 and EC43 turn to sheet f low prior to reaching Steptoe Creek; however, during large storm events they may occasionally contribute f low to Steptoe Creek. These drainages are all within the Steptoe Slough-Duck Creek subwatershed and terminate at Goshute Lake, which has no outlets. EC37-EC40 all generally f low f rom west to east through the study area and are tributaries to PC1f and PC1g (Duck Creek). W2 is located on a hillside where there is likely some water seepage f rom McGill Spring that contributes to the hydrology in the area in addition to snowmelt and rain. McGill Spring is just northeast of W2. EC45 f lows f rom west to east through W2 bef ore it converges with EC40. Duck Creek f lows f rom south to north through the study area and continues north f or approximately 10 miles bef ore f lowing westerly along NV-486, then southwest to converge with Bassett Lake. Duck Creek then f lows f rom Bassett Lake north into Goshute Lake where water inf iltrates to groundwater, evaporates, or transpiration occurs through plants. W4a-W4r and W5 are f ringing wetlands along Duck Creek. PC2 f lows east to west through the study area where it converges with Duck Creek. All these aquatic

resources are within the Gilf ord Creek-Duck Creek subwatershed and terminate at Goshute Lake, which has no outlets. All the subwatersheds discussed above are within closed hydrological basins with no outlets and no tributary connections to Traditional Navigable Waters. All the aquatic resources in the study area are hydrologically connected to valleys where f low either evaporates, inf iltrat es to groundwater, or transpiration occurs through plants. None of the aquatic resources in the study area are connected to any Navigable-in-Fact waterways and have no connection to interstate commerce.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Aquatic Resources Delineation Study Plan March 2, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource studies that will inform FERC’s environmental and developmental analyses and decision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Aquatic Resources Delineation Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals This document presents White Pine’s proposed Aquatic Resources Delineation Study that is designed to assess the nature and degree of the Project’s potential impacts on areas subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USACE regulates discharges of fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS) under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A consideration for constructing the Project is the presence of WOUS, including wetlands. By federal law and associated policy, it is necessary to first avoid project impacts on these resources wherever practicable, minimize impacts that cannot be avoided and, in some cases, compensate for unavoidable impacts. WOUS, wetlands, and uplands (non-jurisdictional), as referenced in this study plan, are defined as follows: •
•
WOUS: The Clean Water Act (CWA) defines WOUS as “surface waters, including streams, streambeds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, arroyos, washes, and other ephemeral watercourses and wetlands” [33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 328.3(a)]. The jurisdictional limits of WOUS include: o In the absence of adjacent wetlands, CWA jurisdiction extends to the ordinary high water mark (OHWM); or o When adjacent wetlands are present, jurisdiction extends beyond the OHWM to the limits of the adjacent wetlands; and o When WOUS consist only of wetlands, jurisdiction extends to the limits of the wetlands. Wetlands: Wetlands are a subset of WOUS. The CWA defines wetlands as “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to Page 1

•
support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions” [33 CFR Part 328.3(b)]. Note that according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 1987, 2008a), wetlands must possess the following three characteristics: (1) a vegetation community dominated by plant species that are typically adapted for life in saturated soils, (2) inundation or saturation of the soil during the growing season, and (3) soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions. Uplands: Non-water and non-wetland areas are called uplands.
The overall goal of this study is to prepare a baseline map of potential WOUS in the study area. This mapping information eventually will be used in White Pine’s license application and 404 permitting materials to assist in the assessment of potential impacts to WOUS from the proposed Project and to develop protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures, as appropriate.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing information can be found in the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For the PAD, existing geospatial information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Federal Emergency Management Agency was reviewed to identify and describe WOUS, including wetlands, surface water, and drainages. These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in impacts to potential WOUS. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of aerial photographs and other available data suggests that the potential WOUS mapped within lands currently proposed for Project construction activities (with the exception of the transmission line corridor) consist of approximately 25 acres of potential wetland or riverine habitat, such as seasonally saturated emergent wetland, temporarily flooded riverine, or intermittently flooded riverine habitats.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently-anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200 foot buffer surrounding each.
4.2
Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Planning, Field Work, Mapping, and Reports.
Task 1 - Planning White Pine will review existing information to identify focus areas for field confirmation and confer with the USACE regarding field work locations and on-site review of field work by USACE staff. White Pine’s planning efforts will prepare for field data collection, including measurements of the width, depth, flow direction, channel slope, substrate, estimation of flow frequency, and photographs looking

upstream, downstream, and across the channel for a representative sampling of potential WOUS within the study area. Additionally, the planning task includes field work preparations such as logistics, safety planning, quality control planning, mobilizing equipment, creating field maps, and installing data on hand-held field computers.
Task 2 – Field Work The goal of the field program is to collect sufficient data to be able to map potential WOUS across the study area. A field team of two wetland scientists will use hand-held Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled computers to locate the proposed Project facilities and to field verify the existing mapping. Boundaries of WOUS will be determined using methods described in the 2008 Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (USACE 2008b). The OHWM is defined as “the line on the shore established by fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of the soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, or the presence of litter and debris” [33 CFR Part 328.3]. Soil and geomorphic indicators present below, at, or above the OHWM will be investigated across the study area and marked on aerial photography field maps. Field teams will also collect additional data in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation M anual and in the 2008 Regional S upplement t o t he C orps of E ngineers W etland Delineation M anual: A rid W est R egion (USACE 1987, 2008a) in locations that exhibit wetland characteristics, as necessary. Scientists may also collect additional data in areas that are difficult to interpret from aerial imagery. The field team will collect approximately 10 data points per day, continuing to sample areas until the study area can be mapped by photo-interpretation. Upland areas will also be sampled to document these areas as non-jurisdictional. Data collection points will include photographs of indicators of OHWM, vegetation, soils, and hydrology parameters; National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)codes, and notes on the presence or absence of wetlands indicators to support a wetland determination for sites will also be collected, as necessary.
Task 3 - Mapping GPS locations of field-visited sites will be overlaid on the aerial photography in GIS to identify the limits of the WOUS and the presence of wetlands in the study area. Aerial photography signatures from these field-visited sites will then be extrapolated to similar locations throughout the study area and boundaries digitized into GIS. Boundaries of WOUS will be digitized onto aerial photography in GIS using the field maps, field investigation notes, and an on-screen review of recent and historical aerial photography. Wetlands, open water, and unvegetated areas with mud cracks, scour marks, sediment deposits, and cobble bars situated below the OHWM will be classified as potential WOUS. The mapping will be reviewed for Quality Control and revised, as needed, and incorporated into a Report.
Task 4 – Report The results of the field work and the mapping will be summarized in a Report. This Report will identify locations within the study area that may be subject to the jurisdiction of the USACE under authority of Section 404 of the CWA. The Report will follow the requirements for content using published guidelines for Aquatic Resources Delineations from the USACE Regulatory Division.

Introduction
This Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report has been prepared by HDR f or White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) in support of the licensing of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project). This report describes the results of the visual and aesthetic resources study (study) that was conducted in 2021.
1.1
Project Description
WPW is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000-megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage f acility that would require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by conduits, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely of f-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surf ace watercourse. Water to initially f ill the reservoir system and required make-up water f or evaporation losses will be pumped f rom groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County.
1.1.1
Proposed Project Facilities
The upper reservoir, lower reservoir, switchyard, and transmission line are the f acilities being evaluated f or potential ef fects on aesthetic values. The upper reservoir will be situated on top of the Duck Creek Range in a generally oval shape. The upper reservoir will have walls ranging f rom approximately 165 f eet above-grade on the east to 87 f eet abovegrade on the west. The walls of the reservoir will be a ring dike or rock-f illed embankment, with generally gray color stone (this will look like small boulders ranging in s ize f rom 2-5 f eet), with a maximum surf ace area of approximately 60 acres. There will be an 8- to 10-f oot-tall chain link f ence along the reservoir. Exterior lighting at the upper reservoir is proposed to be minimal and would consist of safety lighting . The lower reservoir will be in the Steptoe Valley along Highway 93, in a generally oval/rectangular shape. The lower reservoir will have walls approximately 123 f eet above-grade along the west and will be atgrade to the east. The walls of the reservoir will be an earth dam on three sides (similar to other earthen embankments in the area), with a maximum surf ace area of approximately 80 acres. There will be an 8f oot-tall chain link f ence along the reservoir. Exterior lighting at the lower reservoir is proposed to be minimal and would consist of safety lighting . The Project includes a 345-kilovolt switchyard and 26-mile-long transmission line to connect to the existing Robinson Summit Substation. The switchyard will be located east of Highway 93 and the lower reservoir and will contain equipment enclosed within a 10-f oot-high, chain-link security f ence. The transmission line is anticipated to have l H-f rame poles, around 130 f eet tall with approximately 1,000-f oot spans between H-f rames. The H-f rames will likely be weathered steel with multiple wires. Most of the transmission line will be a cross-country route adjacent to an existing transmission line; one aerial crossing of Highway 93 and one aerial crossing of Highway 50 are proposed.

Study Area
The study area occurs between 6,140 and 8,650 f eet above mean sea level in the Central Basin and Range Ecoregion of Nevada (U.S. Geologic Survey 2012). The average temperatures range f rom between 86.9 degrees Fahrenheit in July to 39.0 degrees Fahrenheit in January. The average annual precipitation f or the period of record (1892-2016) in the study area is 8.86 inches, while average annual snowf all is 22.1 inches (Western Regional Climate Center 2021). Broadly, the study area is dominated by sagebrush scrub in the lower elevation areas and pinyon-juniper woodland in the higher elevation areas. A riparian woodland occurs at the east end of the study area. Chaparral habitat types also occur in the study area in intermediate elevation range areas. Seasonal cattle grazing occurs throughout the study area. The study area was def ined in the visual and aesthetic resources study plan (study plan) (Appendix A) as consisting of all lands projected to be af f ected by Project construction and operation, and areas within a 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-mile buf f er surrounding the Project boundary. The study area is depicted in Figure 1.
1.2.1
Land Ownership
The largest landowner in the Project area is the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM); there are also some f ederal lands administered by the United States Forest Service (USFS) in the Humboldt National Forest. The remainder of the lands are owned by local and state governments and private interests. Some key lands with views of the Project include the f ollowing: •
The Town of McGill
•
The City of Ely
•
Public roads including Highway 93, Highway 50, and State Route 486
1.2.2
Regulatory Framework and Management Plans
U.S. Bureau of Land Management The BLM ensures that proposed developments and use of public land meet applicable environmental laws and regulations, including the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). NEPA requires f ederal agencies to “assure f or all Americans saf e, healthf ul, p roductive, and aesthetically and culturally pleasing surroundings.” Section 102 of NEPA requires the development of procedures to ensure that environmental values are given appropriate consideration in decision-making processes in which a f ederal agency is involved (BLM 2008, BLM 2013).

Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report White Pine Pumped Storage Project
To comply with these Acts, the BLM requires visual design considerations be incorporated into all surfacedisturbing activities, including construction and operation of renewable energy f acilities. Guidelines for the identif ication of visual resource management classes on public land are contained in BLM Manual Handbook 8410-1, Visual Resource Inventory (BLM 1986). The BLM meets statutory requirements with their Visual Resource Management (VRM) program. The VRM program establishes inventorying, planning, and managing the qualities of visual resources on public lands. The BLM manages visual resources by planning objectives determined during the Land-use planning process with caref ul analyses of the visual resource inventory, other resource values, and other potential land use demands. Allowable uses and management actions must be planned in accordance with these planned management objectives. The VRM classes describe the limits of allowable visual change to the characteristic landscape. Proposed management activities must comply with the VRM classes . The Ely District Of f ice Resource Management Plan (RMP), which was approved in 2008, serves as a comprehensive management document determining how the Ely District Of f ice manages public lands. RMPs establish goals and objectives f or resource management (including visual resources), and the measures needed to achieve them (management actions and allowable actions). As part of the RMP, the f ollowing visual resources goals, policies, and management objectives were established: •
Goal: Manage public land actions and activities in a manner consistent with Ely District Of fice visual resource management class objectives.
•
Objective: To implement multiple use activities within the planning area with mitigation measures consistent with the VRM classes.
•
Management Action VR-3: Manage visual resources in accordance with the f ollowing visual resource management classes
•
o
Class I: 1,138,730 acres
o
Class II: 1,966,212 acres
o
Class III: 5,205,134 acres
o
Class IV: 3,146,526 acres
Monitoring: Monitoring will be conducted for all projects (including, but not limited to projects associated with any developments, land alterations, vegetation manipulation, etc.) that co uld potentially af fect visual resources. These projects will be monitored to ensure compliance with established visual resource management classes. Monitoring will include the use of the visual contrast rating system, described in BLM Manual 8400 (BLM 1984).
A Visual Resources Inventory (VRI) was conducted f or the Ely District Of f ice in 2011 (BLM 2011). VRIs provide nationally consistent datasets that describe the existing condition and status of public land scenic values. The VRI guidelines are described in BLM Manual Handbook H-8410-1 (BLM 1986). All BLMadministered lands, both surf ace and split-estate, and adjoining landscapes were inventoried as part of the VRI. The VRI consists of three primary components: •
Scenic quality evaluation, which measures the visual appeal of a landscape;
•
Sensitivity level analysis, which measures public concern f or scenic quality ; and
•
Delineation of distance zones, which is an assessment of relative visibility from travel routes or Key Observation Points (KOPs).

The VRI class values inf orm the VRM class determination made in the RMP; they are the basic m easure of the quality of the visual resource. Based on the three components (scenic quality, visual sensitivity, distance zone), all BLM-administered lands are placed into one of f our VRM Classes which represent the relative value of the visual resources (BLM 2013): Class I, II, III, or IV. Classes I and II are the most valued, Class III represents a moderate value, and Class IV represents the least value. VRM classes applicable to the Project are discussed further in Section 3 of this report. The visual resource contrast rating is a systematic process used to analyze whether the potential visual impacts f rom a project will meet VRM class objectives and the allowable level of change established for the area, or if design adjustments or additional mitigation will be required . The degree to which an activity af f ects the visual quality of a landscape depends on the visual contrast created between a project and the existing landscape. There are f our degrees of contrast: •
None: the element contrast is not visible or perceived.
•
Weak: the element contrast can be seen but does not attract attention.
•
Moderate: the element contrast begins to attract attention and begins to dominate the characteristic landscape.
•
Strong: the element contrast demands attention, will not be overlooked, and is dominant in the landscape.
White Pine County The White Pine County Land Use Plan demonstrates the importance of the natural landscapes, with Policy 2-2 which states: “Protect and preserve the quality of the environment, and economic, cultural, ecological, scenic, historical and archaeological values; protect and preserve wildlif e habitat values compatible with economic opportunities needed to provide f or long term benef its f or the people of White Pine County now, and f uture generations.” (White Pine County 2009).

Methodology
The study was conducted in compliance with the study plan (Appendix A). No variances f rom the study plan were required.
2.1
Viewshed Analysis and Identification of Key Observation Points (KOPs)
As described in the study plan, a viewshed analysis was conducted in a Geographic Inf ormation System (GIS) environment based on location and height of proposed Project f acilities , which included the Upper Reservoir, Lower Reservoir, switchyard, and transmission line. This included a visibility analysis GIS approach using site topography in ESRI ArcGIS extension Spatial Analysis to: •
Establish baseline conditions for visibility using binary (visible/not visible) technique;
•
Qualif y or disqualif y potential KOPs; and

•
Cross-validate two-dimensional (2D) photosimulations, three-dimensional (3D) models, or other deliverables that are by-product derivatives of the analysis.
From the results of the viewshed analysis, KOPs were reviewed and selected where potential visual impacts may occur. Input f rom stakeholders and agencies was considered in the selection of KOPs.
2.2
Project Facilities Inventory
Per the study plan, once KOPs were selected, a digital photographic inventory of proposed Project facility locations visible f rom KOPs was completed. The f ield work to collect f acilities inventory data included qualif ied personnel operating Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to take photographs at each KOP. GPS location points were recorded f or each simulation viewpoint using a GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy. Multiple site photographs were collected at each KOP. Site photographs used in the assessment were correlated with x, y, z coordinates and a heading angle. For each KOP, inf ormation related to GPS, camera, and ground truth was recorded as described in the study plan.
2.3
Photosimulation
As described in the study plan, the general procedure f or creation of a photosimulation involved compositing a scaled, geo-ref erenced model of existing and proposed conditions with a photograph. The camera data collected in the f ield was entered into sof tware (e.g., 3d Studio Max, a product widely used f or architectural visualization) that digitally replicates the 3D world at f ull scale, and a GIS Spatial Model was prepared per the study plan. The model was then rendered into an image and overlaid on top of the photograph f rom the view location in Photoshop or an equivalent photo -editing software.
2.4
Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities
Once simulations were complete, the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project f acilities when viewed f rom a road or use area (including recreation sites) in terms of f orm, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing is described for each KOP. Impacts to the existing visual quality are described f urther by analyzing and explaining if changes to the visual resources of the natural environments are compatible or incompatible with existing visual resources by land type. On BLM land, KOPs were analyzed to determine if the existing visual condition is compatible with the Scenic Integrity Objectives (i.e., high, moderate, low, or very low) f or the area. The degree of impact and whether the impact is adverse, benef icial, or neutral was also reviewed on BLM land to determine the scenic integrity level using the scenic integrity scale (i.e., very high, high, moderate, low, very low, and unacceptably low). Visual contrast was measured using the BLM’s visual contrast rat ing procedure (BLM 1986). This method assumes that the extent to which the Project results in adverse ef f ects to visual resources is a f unction of the visual contrast between the Project and the existing landscape character. Contrast was assessed using photosimulations depicting Project f eatures during the operational phase. Impact determinations were based on the identif ied level of contrast and are not a measure of the overall attractiveness of the Project (BLM 1986). At each KOP, existing landf orms, vegetation, and structures were described using

the basic components of f orm, line, color, and texture. Project f eatures were then evaluated using simulations, and described using the same basic elements of f orm, line, color, and texture. The level of perceived contrast between the proposed Project and the existing landscape was then classif ied as none, weak, moderate, or strong as described in Section 1.2.2. Potential modif ications to the Project to comply with existing visual setting and direction were also reviewed and identif ied.

Visual Resources Inventory
3.1
Landscape Scenery
Scenic quality evaluation measures the visual appeal of a landscape. Public lands are rated as Class A (high scenic quality), Class B (typical or average scenic quality), or Class C (low scenic quality) based on the apparent scenic quality, and have several key f actors: landf orm, vegetation, water, color, ad jacent scenery, scarcity, and the presence or absence of existing cultural modifications. Previously approved BLM VRM Classif ications have been adopted by this report from the VRI f or the BLM Ely, Nevada District Of f ice (BLM 2011). The study area lies within eight delineated scenic quality rating units, which are shown on Table 1 along with their classif ications.

Viewer Sensitivity Levels
Sensitivity levels are a measure of public concern f or scenic quality. Public land areas are assigned high, medium, or low sensitivity levels based on types of users (such as recreationists or workers), amount of use, public interest, adjacent land uses, and special areas (such as Wilderness areas) (BLM 1986). Based on the Ely District VRI (BLM 2011), the study area lies within 10 delineated sensitivity level rating units, which are shown on Table 2 along with their ratings.
Table 2. Sensitivity Levels Sensitivity Level Rating Unit1
Sensitivity Level Rating and Explanation2
011 Lincoln Highway (Historic Alignment)
High: General public interest in historic roadways and Nevada statewide.
012 US 93 – Ely to North District Of f ice Boundary
Medium: Moderately sensitive travel corridor.
013 State Route 486
High: Considered an important scenic destination.
014 McGill
High: High level of sensitivity in the area.
015 Northwest Ranges

3.3
Distance Zones and Project Visibility
Landscapes are subdivided into three distance zones based on relative visibility from travel routes or from vistas. The observer’s proximity to elements will af f ect perception of their spatial importance. Longer viewing distances tend to reduce the impression of spatial enclosure and dominance. The three seen distance zones are def ined as f ollows: •
Foreground-Middleground Zone: Areas less that 3-5 miles away f rom a travel route or viewpoint. From this distance, management activities might be viewed in detail. The outer boundary of this

Filed Date: 02/17/2022 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report White Pine Pumped Storage Project
distance zone is def ined as the point where the texture and f orm of individual plants are no longer apparent in the landscape. •
Background Zone: Areas beyond the 3–5-mile zone up to 15 miles away. This does not include areas in the background which are so f ar distant that the only thing discernible is the f orm or outline. To be included within this distance zone, vegetation should be visible at least as patterns of light and dark.
•
Seldom Seen Zone: Areas that are not visible within the f oreground-middleground and background zones and areas beyond the background zones.
The BLM determines distance zones f rom designated travel routes and destination points (such as campground, viewpoint, or scenic byway) to a proposed project; see Appendix B f or the Ely District VRI distance zones map. For this Project, a viewshed analysis was conducted that dif f ers f rom the distance zones in that it depicts locations f rom which proposed Project f eatures would be visible or not visible (Figure 2).

VRM Classes
Based on results of the VRI, maps and data f or the scenic quality rating units, sensitivity level rating units, and distance zones as described above are combined to result in inventoried VRM classif ications. Each of f our VRM classes (Table 3) has an objective that prescribes the amount of change allowed in the characteristic landscape based on perception by the public. Compliance with VRM classes is determined by comparison of the objective of the applicable class with the ef f ects of a Project.
Table 3. VRM Class Objectives Class
Objective
I
Preserve the existing character of the landscape. Changes to the landscape character should be very low and not be evident nor attract attention.
II
Retain the existing character of the landscape. Changes to the landscape character should not attract the attention of a casual observer. Changes must repeat the basic elements of form, line, color, or texture found in the predominant natural features of the landscape. The level of change should be low.
III
Partially retain the existing character of the landscape. Changes to the landscape character may attract attention but should not dominate the view of the casual observer. The level of change can be moderate.
IV
Allow f or activities that modify the existing character of the landscape. Changes to the landscape character may dominate the view and be the major focus of viewer attention. However, these activities should minimize changes to the landscape where possible. The level of change can be high.
Source: BLM 1986. Based on the Ely District RMP (BLM 2008), the study area lies within Class II, Class III, and Class IV lands (Appendix B). The upper reservoir is in a Class II area. Both the lower reservoir and switchyard are in a Class III area. The transmission line crosses through Class II, Class III, and Class IV lands.
3.5
Regional Landscape Setting
Ecologically, the study area is a high desert to low mountain range dominated by sagebrush scrub in the lower elevation areas and pinyon-juniper woodland in the higher elevation areas. A riparian woodland occurs at the east end of the study area, and occasional chaparral habitat types occur in the study area as well. Sporadic cattle grazing occurs throughout the study area. The proposed study area, and White Pine County as a whole, is typical of the Basin and Range topography. The landscape is dominated by north-south mountain ranges (including the Egan Range on the western side of the Project area and the Schell Creek Range on the eastern side of the Project area) f rom 8,000-12,000 f eet in elevation. The Steptoe Valley lies between the Egan and Schell Creek Ranges and houses the County’s major urban and industrial development (Town of McGill, City of Ely) as well as agricultural lands (White Pine County 2009). The area is characterized by a desert landscape, with a visually interesting transition f rom the more developed valley f loor (agriculture) to the surrounding mountain ranges.

Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report White Pine Pumped Storage Project
The sagebrush scrub in the study area is dominated by a mixture of little sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula), black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), and mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana) in the shrub community, along with scattered occurrences of broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), and rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa). In some isolated areas, big sagebrush is the dominant species. A steppe f orm of this habitat also occurs in the study area, with lesser cover of woody shrubs and greater cover of grasses such as thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus), Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda), bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), Letterman’s rice grass (Achnatherum lettermanii), and Indian rice grass (Achnatherum hymenoides). Stands of chaparral or mountain mahogany woodland can occur in this habitat in which antelope bitterbrush ( Purshia tridentata) or curl leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) is the dominant species. The pinyon-juniper woodland is a mix of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single-leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) with variable dominance of both species in the tree community, along with some occurrences of the same species f ound in sagebrush scrub in the shrub community, most notably matted wild buckwheat. A juniper savannah-like habitat occurs around the proposed reservoir locations that is similar to the steppe f orm of sagebrush scrub but differs in having cover of mature Utah juniper trees. The most common herbaceous species observed in the study area were cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), widewing spring parsley (Cymopterus purpurascens), thorny skeletonweed (Pleiacanthus spinosus), James’ cryptantha (Cryptantha cinera var. abortiva), f lat spine sheepbur (Lappula occidentalis), long spur lupine (Lupinus arbustus), northwestern Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia var. dubia), and Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Highway 50, a major east-west travel route, and Highway 93, a major no rth-south travel route, cross through the study area. State Route 486 is a scenic north-south travel route in the eastern portion of the study area.

Key Observation Points
As discussed in Section 2.1, KOPs were identif ied to better understand existing conditions and potential viewer experience. KOPs were selected using the Project viewshed analysis and included input f rom stakeholders and agencies during study plan development. Because it is not f easible to analyze all views of the Project, 10 KOPs were selected to provide representative views of existing conditions and depict changes f rom the Project. Unless otherwise noted below, KOPs are located on BLM-administered lands. The selected KOPs are shown in Figure 2.
3.6.1
KOP 1: Highway 93 & State Route 486
KOP 1 is located just east of the intersection of Highway 93 and State Route 486, near a directional kiosk f or travelers along State Route 486. This KOP is approximately 9 miles north/northeast of the Project. Highway 93 is a state-designated scenic byway. From this valley position of low elevation, unobstructed background views of the Project area, Schell Creek Range, and surrounding desert landscape are present. The view represented by this KOP is typical of this desert region. Highway 93 and a barbed-wire f enceline are visible. KOP 1 is within a Class III VRM (Appendix B). Viewer groups include travelers, recreationists, and residents. KOP 1 is depicted in Figure 3.

KOP 8 is located at the top of Rib Hill, along a publicly accessible road, approximately 12.4 miles southwest of the Project. Rib Hill is about 5.5 miles west of the City of Ely and experiences recreational use f rom hikers, of f-road vehicle users, and mountain bikers but is little used as purely a viewpoint. From this high elevation, f oreground views of the Robinson Mine and background views of the Project area and Schell Creek Range are present. This view is typical of nearby mountain peaks and provides a high contrast in views f rom the heavily modif ied mine to more distant scenic mountain views. KOP 8 is within a Class II VRM (Appendix B). Viewer groups include recreationists. KOP 8 is depicted in Figure 10.
3.6.9
KOP 9: Highway 50
KOP 9 is located along Highway 50, past mile marker 50 eastbound, and is 0.2 miles north of the proposed transmission line aerial crossing of the highway. Highway 50 is a state-designated scenic byway (also known as “America’s Loneliest Highway”) and is one of only a f ew major routes through eastern Nevada (BLM 2011). From this relatively high elevation, f oreground views of the Project transmission line and the existing transmission lines with H-f rame poles are present, along with middleground vegetated mountain views. This view is typical of the visual experience traveling to Ely along Highway 50, with the roadway and other introduced f eatures (transmission line inf rastructure and f encing) contrasting with more scenic mountain views. Existing transmission poles (H-f rames) and wires are visible, along with an aerial crossing of the highway. KOP 9 is within a Class III/Class IV VRM (Appendix B). Viewer groups include travelers and residents and workers. KOP 9 is depicted in Figure 11.
3.6.10
KOP 10: State Route 486
KOP 10 is located of f State Route 486/County Road 29 and is 2.5 miles east of the Project. State Route 486 passes through valleys and canyons, is near both BLM- and USFS-managed lands, and is a main travel route f or sightseeing, outdoor recreation, hunting, and camping in the study area (BLM 2011). This KOP is located on a road that traverses private land. From this high elevation, f oreground to middleground views of vegetated hills and Project area are visible, with more distant mountain peaks in the background. A dirt road which connects to State Route 486 (marked by overhead power lines) is also visible in the f oreground. This view is typical of the visual experience traveling along State Route 486, with varying vegetation along rolling hills. KOP 10 is within a Class II VRM (Appendix B). Viewer groups include recreationists, residences, and travelers. KOP 10 is depicted in Figure 12.

Discussion
Analysis of impacts to visual and aesthetic resources is subjective because the qualities that create an aesthetically pleasing visual character vary f rom person to person. For the purposes of this analysis, t he ef f ects of Project construction and operation on visual and aesthetic resources in the study area were determined based on the comparison of predicted change caused by the Project with the scenic quality inventory of the study area. The results are based on consideration of existing scenic q uality rating/scores, existing landscape character, presence or absence of introduced features (roadways, transmission lines, f ences, agriculture, etc.), and the potential ef f ect of the Project as either a new or additional cultural modif ication.
4.1
Construction and Operational Impacts
Construction activities will create short-term visual and aesthetic impacts associated with activities, including the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel; construction staging and laydown areas; and vegetation clearing. Operations will create visual and aesthetic impacts f rom above-ground Project f eatures, including the upper and lower reservoirs, switchyard, and transmission line. Additional inf ormation is presented by KOP as f ollows.
4.1.1
KOP 1: Highway 93 & State Route 486
During construction, daytime Project activities will be imperceptible f rom KOP 1 due to the approximate 9-mile distance f rom the Project. Workers may result in temporary increases in traf f ic along Highway 93, but it is already a highly traveled route and as such, impacts would be negligible f rom a visual impact perspective. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom the nearby town and developments along Highway 93. A simulation of KOP 1 is depicted in Figure 13. Based on this simulation, the lower reservoir, switchyard, and transmission is imperceptible f rom this distance f or the viewer. The lower reservoir is designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be mad e of local materials and f ollows the line of the mountain f oothills. The color of the lower reservoir is designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be made of local materials and to not create contrast. Texture is consistent with the surrounding desert landscape. The switchyard and transmission line crossing the valley are in the background and imperceptible to the viewer. As no contrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
4.1.2
KOP 2: County Road 28
During construction, Project activities will be visible, but due to the approximately 5-mile distance, activities will appear as weak contrast and not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom the nearby town and developments within the valley. A simulation of KOP 2 is depicted in Figure 14. The lower reservoir is visible near the center of the f igure and in this simulation appears as a horizontal line/low rectangular landf orm along the base of the f oothills. Color blends in well with the surrounding area, appearing as slightly grey when compared to the tan desert ; contrast is weak. Texture is consistent with the surrounding landscape. The switchyard is imperceptible due to its small size and proximity to other existing development in the valley. The transmission structures are visible along a horizontal line but are within and parallel to an existing transmission line corridor with

other H-f rame structures. The transmission line does not draw more attention than the existing transmission line. As weak contrast will occur, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
4.1.3
KOP 3: Highway 93 & 347th North
During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short -term impacts f rom the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel and construction staging and laydown areas. As most users f rom this location are travelers along Highway 93, a major travel route, and will have brief glances of the construction, a moderate contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments within the valley. A simulation of KOP 3 is depicted in Figure 15. The lower reservoir is visible in the f oreground and appears in this simulation as a strong horizontal landf orm along the base of the foothills, visible into the desert. The straight lines of the lower reservoir are bold when compared to the rolling f oothills and valley f loor in the surrounding landscape. The gray color of the lower reservoir is consistent with the exposed rock of the mountains but contrasts with the darker browns and greens of the area surrounding the reservoir. Texture is smooth, while the surrounding landscape is coarser. Although views f rom Highway 93 are of short duration, due to the proximity to the Project, a strong contrast will occur, which does not meet VRM Class III management objectives.
4.1.4
KOP 4: Nevada Northern Railway (NNR)
During construction, Project activities will be visible, but due to the approximately 1.3-mile distance and topography that provides only partial views, will appear as a weak contrast and not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments within the valley. A simulation of KOP 4 is depicted in Figure 16. The lower reservoir is imperceptible f rom this KOP. In this simulation, color of the lower reservoir has been designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape and be made of local materials and does not create contrast with the lighter colored f oothills. Texture is consistent with the surrounding desert landscape. As no co ntrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
4.1.5
KOP 5: NNR Star Platform
During construction, Project activities will be nearly imperceptible f rom KOP 5 due to the approximate 3.3-mile distance f rom the Project. No contrast to weak contrast may occur and will not attract attention. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments within the valley. A daytime simulation of KOP 5 is depicted in Figure 17 f or analysis purposes. The lower reservoir, switchyard, and transmission line are hard to discern f rom this distance. In this simulation, the lower reservoir f ollows the line of the mountain f oothills and blends in with the surrounding desert landscape. The transmission line f ollows an existing transmission corridor that already contains large H-f rame structures, and the proposed H-f rame poles add little additional visual impacts beyond the existing modif ications. As weak contrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met. Exterior lighting at the Project is proposed to be minimal and would consist of safety lighting . Such lighting will be the minimum necessary f or saf ety and operations during emergencies and will be designed per mitigation measures described in Section 4.2. Due to presence of existing light pollution visible as

shown in Figure 7, Project lighting will be minimal, and weak to moderate contrast will occur, meeting VRM Class III management objectives.
4.1.6
KOP 6: Train near NNR Museum
During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible f rom KOP 6 due to the approximate 6.3 -mile distance f rom the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments in the f oreground -middleground and in the valley in the background. A simulation of KOP 6 is depicted in Figure 18. A small portion of the upper reservoir is visible in this simulation near the center of the f igure, along the ridgeline, and the lower reservoir and transmission line are also visible but hard to discern f rom this distance f rom the surrounding area. The upper reservoir is tan compared with the green-blue ridgeline, but due to its small scale f rom this distance is not noticeable and does not attract attention. The lower reservoir appears as a lighter colored gray compared with the slightly darker f oothills, but again at this distance it does not attract attention. The transmission corridor is within an existing transmission corridor and blends in with other power inf rastructure visible. As no to weak contrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class III management objectives will be met.
4.1.7
KOP 7: Saxton Peak
During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible f rom KOP 7 due to the approximate 9.2 -mile distance f rom the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments in the f oreground -middleground and in the valley in the background. A simulation of KOP 7 is depicted in Figure 19. The upper reservoir is visible in this simulation along the second-highest ridgeline, in the background. Although on a vegetated ridgeline which appears green-gray, the upper reservoir’s light gray-tan color matches exposed rock faces along the ridgeline and thus blends in. At this distance, f orm and texture are hard to discern. The City of Ely and dramatic mountain ranges dominate the view, and the upper reservoir is imperceptible with the naked eye and does not draw any attention. As no contrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class II management objectives will be met.
4.1.8
KOP 8: Rib Hill
During construction, Project activities will be imperceptible f rom KOP 8 due to the approximate 12.4-mile distance f rom the Project. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is already present f rom other developments in the f oreground -middleground and in the valley in the background. A simulation of KOP 8 is depicted in Figure 20. The lower reservoir and water surf ace of the upper reservoir are visible but hard to discern at this distance. The lower reservoir appears in this simulation as a small rectangular f orm at the base of the range, on the valley edge. The size of the reservoir is larger than other developments in the valley. Texture and color are consistent with the surrounding landscape. A small sliver of the upper reservoir’s water surf ace is visible in this simulation at the top of the second ridgeline, and contrasts with the surrounding green-gray range; however, f rom this distance it appears as no contrast to weak contrast and water level will f luctuate during operation of the Pro ject. Due to existing mining operations which dominate the view towards the Project, this viewpoint is already highly modified, and the

Project f acilities will not draw attention. The transmission line is imperceptible f rom this KOP. As no to weak contrast will occur f rom this KOP, VRM Class II management objectives will be met.
4.1.9
KOP 9: Highway 50
During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short -term impacts f rom the presence and visibility of transmission construction equipment, materials, and personnel. As most users f rom this location are travelers along Highway 50, a major travel route, and will have brief glances of the construction, a moderate contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is otherwise only present f rom vehicles (no visible developments producing light). A simulation of KOP 9 is depicted in Figure 21. The transmission H-f rame poles and wires are visible in this simulation, and parallel the existing aerial crossing of Highway 50. The transmission H-f rame poles are the same pole type as existing, providing consistency in transmission f eatures and keeping with the rural nature of the area. As views f rom Highway 50 are of short duration f or travelers, and due to the presence of existing transmission lines in a parallel location to the proposed transmission line, a low contrast will occur, meeting VRM Class III and IV management objectives.
4.1.10
KOP 10: State Route 486
During construction, Project activities will be visible and create short-term impacts f rom the presence and visibility of construction equipment, materials, and personnel; traffic increases along State Route 486, and construction staging and laydown areas. As most users f rom this location are travelers along State Route 486, and will have brief glances of the construction activities, a strong contrast is anticipated. Nighttime construction activities may introduce temporary lighting, which is otherwise only present f rom vehicles (no visible developments producing light). A simulation of KOP 10 is depicted in Figure 20. In this simulation, the upper reservoir is visible along the ridgeline and appears as an unnatural straight line when compared with the rolling hills of the ridgeline. The tan color of the reservoir blends in with the surrounding unvegetated ridgeline. Texture is smooth, consistent with the surrounding unvegetated landscape; coarseness f rom existing vegetation is present and adds interest. Although views f rom Highway 486 are typically of short duration, they have a high scenic value f or travelers; theref ore, a moderate contrast will occur, which does not meet VRM Class II management objectives. The access road to the upper reservoir is not designed at this time, but once the location is known, additional simulation may be needed if the access road is visible from this KOP.

Potential Avoidance and Mitigation Measures for Future Consideration
Potential avoidance mitigation measures may reduce the potential f or adverse impacts on visual and aesthetic resources. Ef f ective measures would be those that reduce the visibility or weaken the contrast of Project f eatures. The f ollowing mitigation may help reduce visual contrast and lessen impacts: •
Use BLM environmental colors (Standard Environmental Colors, Color Chart CC-001) f or surf ace coatings of f ences and gates (BLM 2013).
•
Materials of the reservoir structures should repeat and/or blend in with the existing f orm, line, color, and texture of the landscape. This may help lessen visual impact of the lower reservoir f rom KOP 3, but likely will not reduce the impact to a level that meets BLM management objectives f or a Class II area.
•
Minimize right-of -way crossings of the transmission line to the extent f easible; cross rights-ofways at right angles (BLM 2013).
•
Collocate the transmission line with existing transmission lines and use the same pole type as the existing corridor f or new transmission f acilities (in this case, H-f rame poles). Where paralleling the existing transmission line, where possible, place the transmission structures to match the locations of structures in the existing line (BLM 2013).
•
For construction of the transmission line, use existing access roads to the extent f easible.
•
During construction, localized and portable lighting should be used where and when the work is occurring. Lighting should be powered by generators and have switches to cut power when lighting is not required during construction (BLM 2013).
•
At this time, exterior lighting is proposed to be minimal and would consist of safety lighting . For all saf ety lighting, minimize lighting to the extent possible and use dark-sky compliant lighting f ixtures.
•
Except as required to meet minimum saf ety and security requirements (e.g., emergency lighting triggered by alarms) all lighting should use f ull cutoff luminaires, and be properly shielded and mounted (BLM 2013).
•
Lighting should be amber in color, using either low-pressure sodium lamps or yellow LED lighting, which reduces skyglow and wildlif e impacts from exterior lighting (BLM 2013).

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles no rtheast of t he C ity of E ly. The P roject i s a 1,000 megawatt, c losed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The P roject w ill be l ocated entirely of f-stream, meaning n either t he up per nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White P ine has i nitiated a l icensing pr ocess f or t he P roject w ith t he F ederal E nergy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource s tudies t hat w ill i nform F ERC’s env ironmental and de velopmental ana lyses and dec ision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.

areas of BLM-administered lands to manage public lands in a manner which will protect the quality of the scenic and visual value of the land. The majority of BLM land in the Primary Facility Corridors is classified as Class II (517 acres) followed by Class III (395 acres) and a small portion of Class IV (5 acres) (BLM undated). Lands potentially affected by Project construction, operation, and maintenance are largely und eveloped. No formal studies doc umenting existing aesthetic or visual resource conditions are known to exist for the Study Area.
4.0 Methods 4.1
Study Area
The study area consists of lands within the Primary Facility Corridors as depicted in Attachment 1. These lands include the proposed Project reservoirs, access roads, water source, transmission corridor, railroad realignment, currently anticipated laydown yards and related disturbance areas, as well as a 200-foot buffer surrounding each. To assess views of the Project, this study incorporates a 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15 -mile buffer surrounding the Project. Attachment 1 dep icts the study area. Public lands within the study area are managed by the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).
4.2
Study Methods
A visual assessment study will be conducted consisting of six tasks: 1. Identification of up to nine representative and critical key viewing locations; 2. An a esthetics i nventory o f l ocations where P roject f acilities may b e constructed, i ncluding digital photographs from key viewing locations; 3. Photosimulation of proposed Project facilities as viewed from key viewing locations; 4. Information on whether proposed facilities are consistent with other identified relevant scenic goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions; 5. For f acilities t hat ar e not consistent, det ermination of m odifications ne cessary t o m ake t he facilities consistent; and 6. An assessment of the feasibility of identified potential modifications.
4.2.1
Identification of Key Viewing Locations
White Pine will conduct a viewshed analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment based on location and height of proposed Project facilities. The Key Observation Point (KOP) development process will be us ed to determine w here potential visual impact locations will be considered for photosimulation. Land management and ownership will be considered during the viewshed analysis and KOP identification process. Steps to determine the KOP locations will consist of: •
Choose locations with potential for visual impact (e.g., recreation trail, road, recreation areas). This is usually along commonly traveled routes or at other key observation points.
•
Conduct preliminary line-of-sight and viewshed analysis in GIS. o
Conduct traditional “visibility analysis” GIS approach using site topography in ESRI ArcGIS extension Spatial Analyst and/or ESRI 3D Analyst to do the following: Page 2

Establish baseline conditions for visibility using binary (visible/not visible) technique (this t akes i nto ac count ex isting v ertical and t opographic obstructions);
Qualify or disqualify potential visual receptor locations; and
Cross-validate two-dimensional (2D) photosimulations, three-dimensional (3D) models, animations, or other deliverables that are by-product derivatives of the analysis.
Photographs will be taken at each KOP to support assessment of the potential visual impact (see Section 4.2.2 for more information).
Additionally, White Pine will consult with stakeholders to identify representative and critical viewing locations. Preliminary comments from the National Park Service (NPS) requested that visual impacts from Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) passengers on the HiLine Branch be reviewed as part of this study. This may include both daytime view(s) of the facility from the train and nighttime view(s) of the facility from the star-gazing platform used by the “Star Train.” Based on input from other stakeholders, the following potential viewing locations will also be reviewed as part of the KOP development: Schell Creek R ange, H ighway 93, D uck Creek B asin L oop ( Success L oop), Success Summit, C amp Success, Timber Creek Campground, and Steptoe Valley (note that this list is not exhaustive). The viewshed analysis and identification of KOPs will be done using the preliminary Project layout. As design is refined, updates to the viewshed analysis will be performed and KOPs may be modified if warranted.
4.2.2
Project Facilities Inventory
White Pine will conduct a digital photographic inventory of proposed Project facility locations visible from KOPs. The physical characteristics of proposed Project facilities (including lighting and distance from KOPs) will be described in narrative form. The field work to collect facilities inventory data will entail qualified personnel operating Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to take photographs at each location. GPS location points will be r ecorded f or ea ch s imulation v iewpoint, us ing a G PS u nit w ith s ub-meter ac curacy, t o ens ure repeatability. Multiple site photographs will be c ollected at each location using a t ripod and camera equipment. Site photographs to be u sed in assessment will be correlated with x, y, z coordinates and heading angle. For each inventory point, the following information will be collected: •

•
GPS/Trimble units with sub-meter accuracy for photosimulations o GPS model o PDOP and post-processing information Camera o Make, model o Camera lens information Ground truth o Confirm KOP based on logical on-site conditions o Field notes – time of day, atmospheric condition, heading of camera view

4.2.3
Photosimulation
The general procedure for creation of a photosimulation involves compositing a scale, geo-referenced model of existing and proposed conditions with a photograph. The camera data collected in the field is entered into software (e.g., 3d Studio Max, a product widely used for architectural visualization) that digitally replicates the 3D world at full scale. The computer simulation can vary in detail from a highly detailed architectural model of the project to a s imple massing study lacking detail but representing the volume and dimensions of the project. Projects seen at a moderate distance, for instance, can be successfully simulated using a m assing study because details cannot be di scerned at a s ubstantial distance, while a closer view wo uld ju stify a m ore-detailed simulation 1. Confirmation of scale and position of the computer rendering is often accomplished by installing marker poles on site at points correlating with the project pl an to provide registration points. The preliminary computer image will simulate the project and poles, and the image will be positioned and scaled until the simulated poles overlay exactly those appearing in the underlying base photograph. GIS-based aerial photographs and topographic mapping is typically used to confirm locations. Use of a G IS s patial model c ombined with t he GPS locations of eac h photograph provide a representation of t he ex isting c onditions t o us e as a bas e i n t he ph otosimulations. During t he development of the GIS Spatial Model, the following metadata will be documented: • • • • • • • •
Source of the data; Date the data was generated and date the data was downloaded; Coordinate system of the data and the project; Known limitations of the topographic data; Process steps; Derivatives from the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) if any; Lineage of each input and process; and Elevation conversions.
Once the GIS Spatial Model is finalized, data from GIS will be exported to the appropriate file formats required to import the model into the preferred 3D software. Gather the following engineering design data and ensure that the data is to scale and in the local project coordinate system. • • • •
CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the existing study area; CAD (Autodesk or Bentley) of the proposed design; GIS files exported from the spatial model; and KOP Photographs with camera data.
Once imported into the 3D software, check that the imported data matches how it was represented in the originating software. For example, check the topography to ensure that the elevations are accurate and the scale of the aerial imagery. Next, begin setting up the 3D cameras at each location, accounting for the height of the tripod above ground. With the appropriate camera settings (focal length, film gate) Per BLM’s Manual 8400 – Visual Resource Management (April 1984), the following distance zones are provided: foregroundmiddleground distance zone (from the KOP to a distance of 3-5 miles); background distance zone (from a minimum of 3-5 miles to a maximum of about 15 miles); and seldom seen distance zone (more than 15 miles). Per the USFS’s Landscape Aesthetics (October 2000), the following seen areas/distance zones are provided: foreground (up to ½ mile from viewer); middleground (up to 4 miles from foreground); and background (4 miles from the viewer to the horizon). Distance zones for the aesthetics analysis will be using USFS methodology for any KOPs on USFS land, and BLM methodology for all other KOPs.

loaded into each 3D camera, begin to align the camera to the photograph using existing data (CAD and/or GIS) to aid in the alignment. Once aligned and the appropriate lighting system is set up for the environment conditions, the render process of the proposed data out of V-Ray can begin, which will turn t he pr oposed model i nto an i mage. The r endered i mage w ill t hen be ov erlaid on t op of t he photograph from the view location in PhotoShop or an equivalent photo-editing software. Inside of PhotoShop, the existing image will be modified and split into layers to allow the rendered image to be placed be hind f oreground el ements and b ehind bac kground e lements. At l east on e ni ghttime photosimulation will be prepared for the Project. The photosimulations will be done using the preliminary Project layout. As design is refined, updates to the photosimulations may be performed if warranted.

Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photosimulated Project Facilities White Pine will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing. White Pine will describe the impacts to the existing visual quality by analyzing and explaining if changes to the visual resources of the natural environments are compatible or incompatible with existing visual resources by land type. o On BLM land, White Pine will analyze if the degree of contrast from the project (i.e., none, w eak, m oderate, or strong) would meet Visual Resource Management Class objectives for the area. o On USFS land, White Pine will analyze if the existing visual condition and proposed visual condition from the project is compatible with the Scenic Integrity Objectives (i.e., very high, high, moderate, low, very low, or unacceptably low) for the area. White Pine will al so i dentify pot ential mitigation m easures or modifications t o t he P roject facilities to comply w ith e xisting v isual s etting a nd di rection. This will i nclude r eview of International Dark-Sky Associated lighting guidance for proposed outdoor lighting associated with the Project.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning .......................................................................................................... January - March 2021 Study Season ........................................................................................................... April – July 2021 Study Report Preparation .................................................................August 2021 – November 2021 A des cription of t he methods a nd f indings will b e i ncluded in t he Report. T he R eport w ill be incorporated i nto the Draft Li cense Application. The results of this inventory m ay be used to guide development of visual resource protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures.

Luigi Resta rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2100 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Tony Wasley Director
Nevada Department of Wildlife 6980 Sierra Center Pkwy #120 Reno, NV 89511 Via E-Mail and USPS February 17, 2022
Re: White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851), Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project Dear Director Wasley:
rPlus Hydro, LLLP (rPlus), on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), is pleased to offer for the Nevada Department of Wildlife’s (NDOW) review and comment a Draft License Application (Draft Application) for the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851 (Project). WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Draft Application is posted to the following website: https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com
You and your team may download a copy of the Draft Application there. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt.
In compliance with FERC regulations, NDOW has 90 days from the date of this letter to review the Draft Application. After receipt of your comments, rPlus will prepare and file a Final License Application with FERC. Once rPlus files the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review and NEPA process.
As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for NDOW review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve. We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions you provide. Project Overview
rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project.
A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW). 1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources 2. 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov)
2 https://www.blm.gov/blms-national-renewable-energy-strategy-0
While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule
On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application.
Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW also has engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process. WPW continues to coordinate with state, county, and local officials relating to required state authorizations. WPW anticipates coordinating all state review processes with the FERC and BLM processes.
Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final Application later this year, FERC and BLM will begin their
public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands. We also anticipate Nevada approving all required permits, licenses, and authorizations. The Draft License Application
The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Of note, two sections (the consultation record, and specific engineering drawings) are confidential and have been redacted in accordance with the FERC process. These have been provided to FERC under confidentiality in their entirety. Next Steps
We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your team to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or the upcoming regulatory process.
Written comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss those comments with your team once they are received. If you have any questions regarding the Draft Application or the review and comment process, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223.
Sincerely,
Luigi Resta President/CEO rPlus Hydro, LLLP

There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources2. 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov)

While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW also has engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process and other required Nevada state approval processes. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final Application later this year, FERC will begin, with BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act. We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and
operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands. The Draft License Application The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Of note, two parts of the Drat Application (the consultation record, and specific engineering drawings) are confidential and have been redacted in accordance with the FERC process. These have been provided to FERC under confidentiality in their entirety. Next Steps We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your team to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or the FERC process. Written comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss those comments with your team once they are received. If you have any questions regarding the Draft Application or the review and comment process, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223. Sincerely,

A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid.

of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment.

The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW also has engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process and other required Nevada state approval processes. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final Application later this year, FERC will begin, with BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act. We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands.
The Draft License Application The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Of note, two parts of the Drat Application (the consultation record, and specific engineering drawings) are confidential and have been redacted in accordance with the FERC process. These have been provided to FERC under confidentiality in their entirety. Next Steps We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your team to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or the FERC process. Written comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss those comments with your team once they are received. If you have any questions regarding the Draft Application or the review and comment process, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223. Sincerely,

Luigi Resta rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2100 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Mayor Nathan Robertson City of Ely 501 Mill Street Ely, NV 89301 Via E-Mail February 23, 2022 Re: White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851), Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project Dear Mayor Robertson: rPlus Hydro, LLLP (rPlus), on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), is pleased to offer for your review a Draft License Application (Draft Application) for the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851 (Project). WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Draft Application is posted to the following website: https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com You may download a copy of the Draft Application there. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt. WPW submitted this Draft Application to FERC on February 17, 2022, in compliance with its regulations. FERC has 90 days from the date of the filing to review the Draft Application. After receipt of the FERC’s comments, rPlus will prepare and file a Final License Application with FERC. Once rPlus files the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review and NEPA process. While this filing is primarily for agency comments, we welcome any comments that you wish to provide to us. We note that the public and all stakeholders will have ample opportunity to comment on the Final License Application once its filed.
As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for agency review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve. We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions that are provided. Project Overview rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to reliably store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of reliably storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources2. 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov) 2 https://www.blm.gov/blms-national-renewable-energy-strategy-0
While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of pssible use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW has also engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands.

From: Kevin Baker <kbaker@rplusenergies.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2022 2:02 PM To: Katie McConnell <katie@kmlawnv.com> Subject: Temporary Road Access Request Ms. McConnell‐ Pursuant to your previous email, I am requesting an opportunity to discuss with you and your clients, temporary road access for White Pine Waterpower, LLC over real property owned by John Uhalde & Co. White Pine Waterpower will be conducting geotechnical studies at a single borehole drill site near the proposed upper reservoir location from September 1 ‐ November 1, 2022 and is requesting road access for its equipment to arrive on its project site and to depart. No studies or work will be conducted on the Uhalde property, and we do not anticipate a high use of the road during this time. We are excited about the White Pine Project and believe it will be a significant benefit to the local community and the greater White Pine County area. For instance, when the project is fully operational, the additional new tax revenue for White Pine County is expected to be up to $10 million annually. The project also represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. Pumped storage Projects have tremendous value to reliably store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real‐time, as‐needed basis. We are attaching the Zions Bank Economic Impact Study for your information. We are also pleased to inform you that we have filed a Draft License Application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission detailing preliminary data, environmental studies, engineering designs and other information. This filing is a substantial milestone in the regulatory approval process for the project. As stated previously, we truly value the land holding rights of the Uhalde family. They are a key stakeholder in this process and their concerns and recommendations are important to us. Our sincere desire is to work with the Uhalde family to address access to the project site in a non‐impactful way. As a result, we are currently looking at various options including the opportunity to achieve permanent access to the project site through an alternate road that does not cross or impact the Uhalde Duck Creek property; however, we are hopeful that a mutually beneficial arrangement can be achieved in the short‐term to allow this limited geotechnical study to occur. We are open to extending or renegotiating the current access agreement. We would like to set up an in‐person meeting, at a time and place convenient for your client, to discuss this site access. Thank you Kevin

Proposed Development The proposed Project is a closed-loop pumped storage hydropower facility that would be located approximately 7 miles northeast of Ely with the capacity to generate up to 1,000MW. The Project is located almost entirely on BLM lands and therefore the Project would be authorized to use property under a Right-of-Way Grant from the BLM per CFR Title 43. The project is anticipated to be online as early as 2030 and anticipates a total investment of approximately $2.3 billion.
Tax Revenues Property Tax Revenues Property tax revenues are based both on taxable value and tax rates. Taxable value is a combination of real property (land and buildings) and personal property (equipment). Real property is considered “secured” property whereas personal property is considered “unsecured” property. Total Project investment is estimated at $2.3 billion, with $1,550,000,000 in real property and $750,000,000 in personal property. While real property can appreciate in value each year, Nevada law requires that a 1.5 percent depreciation factor be applied each year to the appreciated value for purposes of calculating assessed value. Taxable value is calculated at 35 percent of assessed value.

If this Project chooses to apply for a Renewable Tax Energy Abatement, it would see an abatement of 55 percent of property taxes over a 20-year period. The remaining taxes paid would be divided 55 percent to local governments and 45 percent to the State’s Renewable Energy Fund. Given the above property tax values and tax rates, incremental taxes would reach over $582 million over 20 years before abatement. With the Renewable Energy Tax Abatement, the total amount of taxes paid would reach $262 million. Of this amount, local government entities would receive $144 million and nearly $118 million would be paid to the State’s Renewable Energy Fund.

The taxing entities shown in the previous table should have very little additional expense directly related to the proposed development.
Job Creation and Wages Paid Jobs will be created for both construction and ongoing operations at the Project. The construction jobs, however, will be temporary and will only last for a period of approximately 3 to 4 years. Workers from outside of the County will be needed in order to fill the demand for the construction jobs. The proposed development will add an estimated 1,664 to 2,219 direct construction jobs at the Project site each year for a period of approximately 3 to 4 years. The construction jobs are projected to pay average wages of $55-$62 per hour, or between $114,000 and $129,000 annually, including benefits. As discussed in more detail below, these 1,664 to 2,219 direct jobs in the local economy have a multiplier effect in the larger region, creating an estimated 261 indirect jobs and 356 induced jobs annually for a period of 3 to 4 years. Indirect jobs are the jobs created as a result of spending by the pumped storage project (i.e., business-to-business transactions), whereas induced jobs are a result of spending by employees from the increased wages paid. 8 Zions Public Finance, Inc. | May 2021
White Pine County, NV | Economic Impacts Study
In addition, the project anticipates 25 full-time employees with average wages ranging between $80,000 and $120,000 per year. Based on information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the average wage in White Pine County is $45,551.
Economic Impacts Economic impacts have been assessed using IMPLAN modeling software with localized performance data for White Pine, NV. Direct, indirect and induced impacts have been assessed for both ongoing and construction impacts. Ongoing Operating Impacts Direct effects from initial spending creates additional activity in the local economy. Indirect effects are the result of business-to-business transactions indirectly caused by the direct effects. Induced effects are the results of increased spending due to increased income created by the direct and indirect effects. Based on the analysis, the initial 25 jobs at the pumped storage project will create demand for an additional 38 indirect jobs and 11 induced jobs. Labor Income is defined as all forms of employment income including wages, salaries, benefits and proprietor income. Value Added is defined as the difference between total output and the cost of intermediate inputs. Output equals the value of industry production which is equal to sales plus net inventory change.

Construction Impacts The economic effect of construction jobs, although significant, would be temporary and are anticipated to last approximately 3 to 4 years. As shown previously in this study, White Pine County has 215 construction jobs. It is anticipated that this Project would create an estimated 1,664 to 2,218 construction jobs per year for approximately 3 to 4 years. Therefore, workers would come to White Pine County from outside of the area. It is not reasonable to assume that all of their wages would be spent in White Pine County. Many of them may find housing outside of the County or be there on a temporary basis, sending wages “home” to family members. However, there would be significant impacts in many areas including temporary lodging, restaurants, food, gasoline, etc. The IMPLAN model measures the anticipated impacts of these workers, while mitigating for the anticipated leakage of a large portion of their wages outside of County boundaries. Total employment in the table below shows the estimated number of full-time equivalent jobs (which may include part-time and seasonal workers) over the entire construction time period. The last column in the table below adjusts these numbers by dividing total employment by the number of years of construction to estimate the average annual employment. There will undoubtedly be periods of peak employment with higher numbers as well as periods with fewer workers. TABLE 13: ECONOMIC INDICATORS - CONSTRUCTION Impact 1 – Direct 2 – Indirect

Luigi Resta rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2100 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Chairman Richard Howe White Pine County Commission 1786 Great Basin Blvd, Ste 3 Ely, NV 89301 Via E-Mail February 23, 2022 Re: White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851), Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project Dear Mayor Robertson: rPlus Hydro, LLLP (rPlus), on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), is pleased to offer for your review a Draft License Application (Draft Application) for the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851 (Project). WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Draft Application is posted to the following website: https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com You may download a copy of the Draft Application there. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt. WPW submitted this Draft Application to FERC on February 17, 2022, in compliance with its regulations. FERC has 90 days from the date of the filing to review the Draft Application. After receipt of the FERC’s comments, rPlus will prepare and file a Final License Application with FERC. Once rPlus files the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review and NEPA process. While this filing is primarily for agency comments, we welcome any comments that you wish to provide to us. We note that the public and all stakeholders will have ample opportunity to comment on the Final License Application once its filed.
As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for agency review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve. We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions that are provided. Project Overview rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to reliably store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of reliably storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources2. 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov) 2 https://www.blm.gov/blms-national-renewable-energy-strategy-0
While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of pssible use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW has also engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process and other required Nevada state approval processes. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final License Application later this year, FERC will begin, with BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act. We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and
operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands. The Draft License Application The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Of note, two parts of the Draft Application (the consultation record, and specific engineering drawings) are confidential and have been redacted in accordance with the FERC process. These have been provided to FERC under confidentiality in their entirety. Questions and Concerns We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your colleagues to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or the FERC process. In the event you would like to provide written comments to us regarding the Draft Application, such comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Draft Application, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223. Sincerely,
Luigi Resta President/CEO rPlus Hydro, LLLP

Luigi Resta rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2100 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Mark Basset President Nevada Northern Railway 1100 Avenue A Ely, NV 89301 Via E-Mail February 23, 2022 Re: White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851), Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project Dear Mr. Bassett: rPlus Hydro, LLLP (rPlus), on behalf of White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), is pleased to offer for your review a Draft License Application (Draft Application) for the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, FERC Project No. 14851 (Project). WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Draft Application is posted to the following website: https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com You may download a copy of the Draft Application there. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt. WPW submitted this Draft Application to FERC on February 17, 2022, in compliance with its regulations. FERC has 90 days from the date of the filing to review the Draft Application. After receipt of the FERC’s comments, rPlus will prepare and file a Final License Application with FERC. Once rPlus files the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review and NEPA process. While this filing is primarily for agency comments, we welcome any comments that you wish to provide to us. We note that the public and all stakeholders will have ample opportunity to comment on the Final License Application once its filed.
As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for agency review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve. We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions that are provided. Project Overview rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to reliably store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of reliably storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources2. 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov) 2 https://www.blm.gov/blms-national-renewable-energy-strategy-0
While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of pssible use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW has also engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process and other required Nevada state approval processes. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final License Application later this year, FERC will begin, with BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act. We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands.
The Draft License Application The Draft Application describes the Project and how it will be operated, the alternatives considered as the proposed Project was conceived and refined, analyzes the effects of Project construction and operation on the environment, and proposes preliminary measures to address potential impacts of the construction and operation of the Project. Of note, two parts of the Draft Application (the consultation record, and specific engineering drawings) are confidential and have been redacted in accordance with the FERC process. These have been provided to FERC under confidentiality in their entirety. Questions and Concerns We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your colleagues to give an overview of the project and to answer any preliminary questions you may have regarding the Draft Application or the FERC process. In the event you would like to provide written comments to us regarding the Draft Application, such comments may be provided to us no later than 5:00 PM on May 18, 2022. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Draft Application, please contact Greg Copeland, Program Manager, 801-759-2223. Sincerely,

WPW has developed this Draft Application in accordance with 18 CFR Part 4, Subpart E of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The Draft Application is posted to the following website: https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com You and your team may download a copy of the Draft Application there. If you require an alternative delivery method, please let us know and we will facilitate a convenient method for your receipt. In compliance with FERC regulations, your agency has 90 days from the date of this letter to review the Draft Application. After receipt of your comments, rPlus will prepare and file a Final License Application with FERC. Once rPlus files the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review and NEPA process. As we take this important milestone step of offering the Draft Application for agency review, we emphasize that the engineering design and assessment of the effects of the Project on local communities, federal land, and natural resources continue to evolve.
We look forward to considering the responses we receive and tailoring Project planning, design, and management to accommodate the insights and questions you provide. Project Overview rPlus is excited to advance development of this energy storage project, located near the City of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada. The Project represents a unique energy supply opportunity for Nevada and the greater region. There are few feasible means of providing energy storage of the scale and duration needed as the electric grid evolves toward a carbon-free future. Pumped storage projects have tremendous value to store energy produced by wind and solar and return that energy to the grid on a real-time, as-needed basis. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project site has exceptional characteristics to meet this need. The site has a unique combination of favorable topography, access to a water source, geologic features appropriate for tunneling to house Project facilities, and proximity to a designated transmission corridor route to a substation large enough to accommodate the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the Draft Application. In brief, the Project will consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, three variable pumpturbine units with a total generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in an underground powerhouse, a tunnel conveyance system between the two reservoirs, groundwater wells for initial fill and make-up water, and an inter-tie to the existing electric transmission grid. The Project is designed as a closed loop system, meaning that its operation re-uses water in a continuous cycle of pumping and generation and does not affect any streams, lakes, or wetlands. Groundwater will be pumped for initial fill of the Project and periodically supplemented to make up for evaporation and other losses. The 1,000 MW Project will be situated mostly on lands of the United States administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office. The Project will utilize 1.7 acres for each megawatt of capacity, a very efficient use of public land. For comparison, the 151 MW Spring Valley Wind farm in White Pine County occupies 7,787 acres of federal land administered by BLM (51.6 acres/MW).1 Operating on a relatively small footprint, the Project will be a vibrant complement to wind and solar generation, capable of storing electricity generated by wind and solar at times when demand for electricity is low, and then returning electricity to the grid when demand is peaking. In these ways, the Project is in strong alignment with the Biden Administration’s strategy to engage with the renewable energy industry and others to promote development of clean energy sources2. While the Project is mostly located on federal land, there are Project features that conceive of use of some private lands. As rPlus revises and refines the precise location 1 PROJECT LIST WIND_October 2021.pdf (blm.gov) 2 https://www.blm.gov/blms-national-renewable-energy-strategy-0
of Project features, we will continue to communicate with potentially affected landowners to arrange for the use of the land based on mutually agreeable arrangements. Process and Schedule On July 12, 2017, an application for a Preliminary Permit was filed to initiate the FERC process for the Project, and FERC issued the Preliminary Permit on October 25, 2017. WPW then researched and prepared the Pre-Application Document and filed and distributed it on May 15, 2020, to present a description of the proposed Project, a schedule for the licensing and permitting process, and an initial assessment of potential Project effects on resources and the environment. Additionally, WPW requested that FERC utilize its Traditional Licensing Process which FERC subsequently approved. The consultation record reflecting the FERC process steps and WPW’s other agency and stakeholder outreach from 2017 through 2021 is attached as Appendix A to the Draft Application. Since the Pre-Application Document was circulated, other key highlights of consultation to-date include a meeting and site visit with agencies and stakeholders on September 1, 2020. Despite Covid-related restrictions, more than 20 people representing ten agencies and organizations were able to safely attend and participate in the meeting and site visit. On March 10, 2021, WPW distributed seven study plans for comment. The study plans were revised based on comments received from the City of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada Department of Wildlife, National Park Service, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals. Studies were conducted in 2021. Results are discussed in Exhibit E of the Draft Application, and the study reports are provided as appendices. While this FERC process has progressed, WPW also has engaged with the BLM Ely District Office to begin discussion and planning for Project use of BLM-administered federal lands. WPW anticipates that the BLM review and approval process will be coordinated with the FERC licensing process and other required Nevada state approval processes. Looking ahead, rPlus will prepare the Final License Application based on comments received on the Draft Application, continue engineering design and analysis of potential effects of the Project, and develop measures to avoid and mitigate impacts. When rPlus files the Final License Application later this year, FERC will begin, with BLM, its public review process guided by the National Environmental Policy Act. We anticipate the outcome will be FERC’s issuance of a license for construction and operation of the Project and BLM’s granting of a special use authorization for the Project’s use and occupancy of federal lands.

This email has been received from outside of DOI - Use caution before clicking on links, opening attachments, or responding. Hi Robert, As part of our reporting requirements for the Geotech investigations for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, we have prepared an architectural inventory report for built environment resources identified and evaluated during efforts for the Geotech investigations. The archaeological results for these Geotech investigations are presented in two separate reports (8111 NV-04-21-2274B and 8111 NV-04-21-2274D). However, since this architectural inventory report was drafted, a couple of additional surveys have taken place for those Geotech investigations, for which addendum reports were prepared (to be submitted to you in the near future). As a result of the additional survey and reporting, we now have additional segments of the built environment resources discussed and evaluated in the original architectural inventory report.

NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE Sage-grouse Lek Monitoring Guidance Consultant Considerations Area game biologist input and coordination with the Habitat Division is critical to ensure that monitoring is not duplicative and is conducted appropriately (e.g., from a specific vantage point or time during the survey hours that is most conducive to observing birds) given the leks identified for monitoring. This input needs to be timely (days not weeks) to ensure reasonable feedback to consultants or other outside entities involved with sage-grouse lek counts. In addition, guidance for the monitoring of trend leks must be well coordinated and only allowed if local NDOW personnel are not able to perform the minimum number of counts (3) needed for trend leks themselves. For purposes of efficiency, the Department will use consultants to count trend leks if it allows for needed monitoring elsewhere. However, the area biologist should make a coordinated effort to count the trend lek once during the survey period to ensure male attendance figures can be cross examined with those of consultants. Trend Leks: Only allowed with close coordination with the area game biologist, habitat biologist and consultant. As with active leks (below), these leks should be counted three times during the survey window beginning around March 10-15 and spaced 10-14 days apart. Lek counts are to be conducted between ½ hour before and 1 ½ hour after sunrise. Area biologists should provide site-specific instructions to consultants on the certain details (e.g., where to count from, special considerations, etc.). Active Leks: Perform three lek counts (visits) spaced approximately 10-14 days apart beginning around March 10-15. Lek counts will be conducted between ½ hour before to 1 ½ hour after sunrise. Counts should be performed during conducive weather conditions with minimal wind and preferably without precipitation. Lek counts should not be conducted after May 15th each year. If no birds are observed at an active lek, but fresh sign (fecal piles, cecal droppings, feathers, tracks) is observed, the lek shall be revisited as soon as possible and as early in the morning as possible to document bird use. Pending Active Leks: Same as active lek count procedures. Unknown Status Leks: Perform at least two lek counts during the ideal survey window (March 10 – April 15). If no birds are present, then search for fresh sign. If no sign (fresh cecal droppings and roost piles) is observed, then a third count or visit is not necessary. Inactive Leks: Perform at least one count (visit) during the ideal survey window (March 10 – April 15). If no birds are detected, and no sign is observed, then no further visits are necessary. Historic Leks: No monitoring is required for these leks. In all instances, consultants, or any observer for that matter, should scan a broad area for lekking sagegrouse, especially if no activity is noted at the documented lek point coordinate. Sometimes leks move due to slight changes in habitat or were previously disturbed by a predator such as a coyote or golden eagle. Taking a moment to listen for strutting birds can also be helpful in detecting birds.

Re:
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project Number 14851), Draft License Application, Cultural Resources Study Report (Privileged and Confidential Materials Enclosed)
Dear Tribal and Agency Licensing Participants: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. WPW has initiated the licensing process for the Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) (FERC Project Number 14851). The issuance of a license by FERC to WPW is a federal undertaking subject to compliance with relevant federal historic preservation laws. In particular, as the lead federal agency for the undertaking, FERC must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (Section 106), as amended (54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq.), which requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. 1 FERC issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to File License Application and Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process for the Project on July 13, 2020. In this NOI, FERC designated WPW as its non-federal representative for purposes of consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA in accordance with Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 800.2(c)(4). 2 As part of the licensing process, WPW is implementing a Cultural Resources Study (Study) to assist FERC with its Section 106 compliance responsibilities. WPW’s contractor, HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR), is in the process of completing a cultural resources inventory for the Study. At this time, the Study is not yet complete, however, WPW has prepared a Cultural Resources Study Report that has been included as a PRIVILEGED/CONFIDENTIAL attachment to the Draft License Application (DLA) filed with FERC on February 17, 2022. This Cultural Resources Study Report is a progress report of what has been completed thus far for the Study. As part of the Study activities, the Study Area was subjected to a Class III cultural resources inventory by HDR in June and July of 2021. Portions of the Study Area could not be surveyed due to steep, unsafe slopes or due to private land ownership where landowners did not permit survey on their land. The Class III 1
“Historic property means any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria” (36 CFR Section 800.16(l)(1).

FERC issued an NOI on July 13, 2020, accession number 20200713-3032.
Participating Tribes and Agencies Page 2 March 10, 2022
cultural resources inventory resulted in the identification of 83 isolated archaeological finds, 134 archaeological sites, and two historic built environment resources. Of note, the two historic built environment resources also constitute two of the archaeological sites. These two resources include both built environment and archaeological components, so they are identified as both types of resources. These two resources are the Lincoln Highway and the Nevada Northern Railway.

As we discussed, and reviewed, the Agreement is dramatically similar to the road agreement we had in place for 61 days in October and November of 2021. As you requested, please find attached the following: (1) Redline – Road Maintenance Agreement a. Comparing the 2021 version with the 2022 version (current) (2) Road Maintenance Agreement – word document (clean) (DRAFT) a. For review and any additional revisions suggested by the Road Department and/or District Attorney’s office As we discussed, it would be our hope that we can get this Agreement queued for final BOCC approval on April 13, 2022. If you have any revisions we can incorporate and discuss, otherwise I can submit you a Executable Version. For approval, we are open to whatever method you all feel is most appropriate. But our understanding is that we are technically submitting this to the Road Department who is sending it to the District Attorney for review and approval. Following legal review, the Road Department will make a recommendation for approval to the BOCC. Therefore we assume that the Road Department would submit the Agreement for BOCC approval as part of the regular road report at the April 13th BOCC Meeting. However, if you prefer that we submit the Agreement under an Agenda Request to the BOCC for review and approval, we are happy to do so as well. Please reach out with any questions and/or revisions! As always, it is a pleasure working with you both. Regards, Gage

Gage, The more I listen to the community and council’s feelings about an MOU at this time the more I feel it would be best for you and your team to just complete the test drilling at this time. If you do not require the City’s or the NNRy’s permission I think an MOU would be a frustrating exercise for all three entities at this juncture. I agree an MOU would be a good idea, but it might just be a better idea for when you’re further along in the process. However, that is just my recommendation. If you and your organization would like to proceed with an MOU now we can certainly look to put it on the agenda for the City Council meeting on the 14th of April. As I suggested in the meeting that agenda item should be along the lines of “Discussion for Possible Action – Presentation of request by rPlus Energy for an MOU between the City of Ely and rPlus Energy and direction to City Attorney to work with rPlus Energy on a draft to be brought back to the City Council for approval.” I would also suggest getting in touch with one of the City Council Members to sponsor that item (sometimes it goes better if the Mayor isn’t the one sponsoring the item).

IN THE ROOM from BLM: Jared Bybee, Andy Galt, Sam Haug, Nancy Hermes, Stacey Holt, John Miller IN THE ROOM from rPlus: Kevin Baker, Greg Copeland ON THE VIRTUAL MEETING: Cody Odgers, Elizabeth Seymour
NOTES: 1. rPlys Hydro presented a slide show with an introduction to rPlus Energies, company background, federal energy policy goals, Nevada energy goals, Project description, and steps through the FERC Licensing process and exhibits. Reference slide presentation. 2. Proposed project is an efficient use of lands in the public domain. 3. Madeline E Van der Voort is now BLM State Office Cultural Resources lead. 4. May 18 is the deadline for comments on the DLA. 5. BLM Bristlecone Office will be summitting one set of comments from all of the BLM. 6. BLM asked where the pumphouse is. rPlus Hydro said it is inside the mountain. It is between the upper and lower reservoirs. a. rPlus Hydro said the Project access routes have been revised from what is described in the environmental report of the DLA. The previously proposed access route from the Duck Creek is no longer being considered as a primary access road. The upper reservoir optional access road is proposed as a 3.5-mile improved, gravel, single lane access road to be used for emergency access. Project access for construction and operations & maintenance will occur from the Steptoe Valley side. This is a mitigation measure put in place to address GrSG impacts and viewscape concerns, landowner access issues, habitat issues, and other concerns. 7. BLM asked why the lower reservoir is not dug into the ground? a. rPlus Hydro stated that the uphill (east) side the lower reservoir is nearly at grade elevation, and the downhill side (west) it is at the same elevation which results in an above grade embankment. 8. Water rights will be from White Pine County. If water rights are not used by this project, they could be re-allocated for another purpose. 9. rPlus Hydro asked if FERC offered cooperating agency status to BLM? a. BLM replied that FERC will not seek cooperating agencies until the NEPA process is officially kicked-off. 10. Question from BLM 8,000 MW or 1,000 MW? a. The project is 1,000 MW capacity at the interconnect. The amount of water available could provide 8,000 MWh of electricity before pumpback is necessary. Is it a 1,000 mw capacity for 8 hours of generation a day, 8 hours is the limitation 1
of water availability. If the reservoir were designed to be larger, duration of generation could be more than 8 hours. 11. BLM asked who IDT members should contact? a. Greg Copeland for for technical and regulatory questions. b. Kevin for legal questions from agencies c. HDR for cultural questions, and HDR will keep Greg informed. 12. BLM Question: Will the transmission line be underground? a. Undergrounding is a lot of blasting and engineering, and costly. This line is designed in the Energy Corridor next to existing lines. The line is sited in an energy corridor next to an existing transmission line for a constructability standpoint. 13. BLM: Can you possibly use the existing towers? a. This is not practical because the existing lines would have to be de-energized during construction. 14. BLM would like to watch the like to watch it again. a. rPlus Hydro will post to our website when its finalized. 15. BLM said that Greenlink is moving to monopoles in many locations due to problems with raptor perching and targeting grouse. USFWS will be involved later in the design and construction process. There are energy-dedicated experts in the migratory bird group who will need to review the Project.

From: Warden, Mark (NV Energy) <Mark.Warden@nvenergy.com> Sent: Thursday, May 5, 2022 3:24 PM To: Kevin Baker <kbaker@rplusenergies.com> Cc: Luigi Resta <LResta@rplusenergies.com> Subject: RE: [INTERNET] DLA Comments
We have completed our more in-depth review of these materials, and they are in very good shape. The drafters clearly adhered to the regulatory requirements of 18 C.F.R. § 4.41, which are applicable to applications for a major unconstructed project. We just had a few comments, as follows: • In Exhibit A (project description), section 2.10 covers the proposed transmission lines. In this section, we suggest identifying which (if any) of the proposed transmission lines would be a “primary transmission line,” which is defined under the Federal Power Act as a line that is used solely to transmit power from the licensed project to a load center. Based on the description in section 2.10, it seems that the 345 kV transmission line that would connect the Project to the NVE Robinson Summit Substation would be a primary line, but it would be helpful to clarify that, since FERC will eventually need that information. • In Exhibit F (general design drawings), it doesn’t appear that the drawings themselves were included in these DLA materials. Rather, Exhibit F just includes a table listing the drawings. • Exhibit E (environmental report): o Section 2.2.1.12 – As discussed above, we suggest indicating whether any of the planned transmission lines will be “primary” transmission lines such that they will be used solely to transmit power from the project to a load center; o Table 2.2-3 states that the Project transmission line will be located adjacent to an existing transmission line within an existing permitted energy corridor already designated for new development; we suggest including this information in section 2.2.1.12 as it will be helpful to FERC staff processing the application; o The first paragraph of section 3.2 mentions the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) 2020 regulations, which define “effects or impacts” as “changes to the human environment from the proposed action or alternatives that are reasonably foreseeable and have a reasonably close causal relationship to the proposed action or alternatives, including those effects that occur at the same time and place as the proposed action or alternatives and may include effects that are later in time or farther removed in distance from the proposed action or alternatives.” However, CEQ just recently rescinded its 2020 regulations in the last few weeks. As a result, the 2020 definition of “effects or impacts” is no longer applicable. Instead, CEQ reinstated the definitions of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects that were in place prior to the 2020 rulemaking (set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 1508.1(g)): Effects or impacts means changes to the human environment from the proposed action or alternatives that are reasonably foreseeable and include the following: • (1) direct effects, which are caused by the action and occur at the same time and place. • (2) indirect effects, which are caused by the action and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable; and • (3) cumulative effects, which are effects on the environment that result from the incremental effects of the action when added to the effects of other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions. We suggest updating section 3.2 to reflect this new more expansive definition of “effects or impacts.” Other sections of Exhibit E (including §§ 3.8.2, 3.9.2, 3.11.2, and 3.12.2) already include
the new definition, so you should be all set there. <!--[if !supportLists]-->• <!--[endif]-->Section 3.10 (cultural resources) – we suggest ensuring that this section, and particularly the tables, does not disclose the location of any cultural sites or sites of tribal significance; to the extent the application will include this type of information, it should be filed as a separate “privileged” volume in FERC’s eFiling system, so that information will not be available to the public. Let me know if you wish to discuss.

Filed Date: 05/11/2022
Appendix A Project No. 14851 APPENDIX A COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT LICENSE APPLICATION FOR THE WHITE PINE PUMPED STORAGE PROJECT, FERC NO. 14851 Commission staff has identified that your draft license application (DLA) did not contain some of the information that will be required by our regulations for a final license application (FLA) (§4.41). Additionally, as discussed below, Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,1 and Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations,2 as amended, require federal agencies to determine if impacts on human health or the environment would be disproportionately high and adverse for environmental justice (EJ) communities in the community surrounding a project. In our comments, we note the areas of the DLA where more specific information will be needed for a complete license application. Exhibit A 1. In your FLA, please clarify whether water conveyance/penstocks are above or below ground for their entire lengths. If only particular sections are below ground, then please specify where (including on Figure 1.0-1), and for what length, the respective penstock is above or below ground. If above ground, please describe whether it lies directly on the ground or provide the estimated amount of space between the ground and water conveyance/penstock. Exhibit D 2. In Exhibit D, costs are not provided for proposed environmental measures. To ensure that staff apply these costs accurately in the economic analysis of the proposed project, please provide the capital and annual costs for each proposed measure in 2020 dollars, in the years in which they would be incurred. If other measures are proposed and discussed elsewhere in the FLA, costs need to be provided for them as well. Please revise Exhibit D in your FLA to include all proposed measures, both environmental (i.e., mitigative and enhancement) and non-environmental (operational) measures, with any associated capital and annual costs. If the measures are considered to have no appreciable cost, please provide a brief explanation.

However, prior to filing the study, ensure the final cultural resources survey report includes properties or places of traditional religious and cultural significance, and that such properties or places reflect the interests and participation of the involved Indian tribes as summarized in your preliminary cultural resources survey report, filed with the DLA. Additionally, all previously un-surveyed lands, that would be encompassed by the modified proposed project boundary and resulting new area of potential effects (APE), should be surveyed and the survey results should be incorporated into the final cultural resources report. Further, the final cultural resources survey report should also contain all evaluated National Register of Historic Places (National Register) determinations of cultural resources located within the APE, and where the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has concurred in all of the National Register determinations. 4. In section 3.10.4.2, Nevada SHPO, you note that the Nevada SHPO initially concurred on the APE for direct physical effects as a result of the proposed project; however, the SHPO was unable to conclude its review and concurrence on the APE until the proposed project takes into account for visual, atmospheric, audible, and cumulative effects. You also note that the footprint of the APE is currently being reassessed because of new modifications being made on the proposed project boundary. As a result, you propose to make all such modifications to the APE and seek concurrence from the SHPO. Upon SHPO concurrence, please file the new definition of the APE, including detailed maps, with your FLA. The detailed APE maps should also show land ownership/ jurisdiction, all areas that were surveyed, and other areas which were un-surveyed due to difficult terrain. 5. Due to potential project-related adverse effects to historic properties as you have noted in DLA, please prepare the HPMP as you have described in the DLA and associated cultural resources report, and file it with the FLA.3 The HPMP should also provide site-specific measures to resolve any potential adverse project-related effects that 3

Appendix A Project No. 14851 might occur on any National Register eligible cultural resource or other resource of significance to an involved Indian tribe. Prior to filing the HPMP with your FLA, allow the involved parties an opportunity to review and comment on the HPMP, and provide a section in the HPMP that includes all comments made on the HPMP (in addition to the associated cultural resources study) and how they were addressed and incorporated into the document. 6. Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, and Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations, as amended, require federal agencies to consider if impacts on human health or the environment would be disproportionately high and adverse for EJ communities in the surrounding community resulting from the programs, policies, or activities of federal agencies. To assist Commission staff with its analysis under the NEPA, we recommend that the final application include: a) A table of racial, ethnic, and poverty statistics for each state, county, and census block group within the geographic scope of analysis. In this case, the geographic scope of analysis is the area encompassed within a 5-mile buffer of the proposed project boundary. The table should include the following information from the U. S. Census Bureau’s most recently available American Community Survey 5-year Estimates for each state, county, and block group (both wholly and partially) within the geographic scope of analysis: i. ii.
iii. iv.
Total population; Total population of each racial and ethnic group (i.e., White Alone Not Hispanic, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, some other race, two or more races, Hispanic or Latino origin [of any race]) (count for each group); Minority population including individuals of Hispanic or Latino origin as a percentage of total population;4 and Total population below poverty level as a percentage.5
4
To calculate the percent total minority population, subtract the percentage of “White Alone Not Hispanic” from 100 percent for any given area. 5
To calculate percentage of total population below poverty level, divide the total households below the poverty level by the total number of households and multiply by 100.

Appendix A Project No. 14851 The data should be collected from the most recent American Community Survey files available, using table #B03002 for race and ethnicity data and table #B17017 for low-income households. A template table is provided below. b) Identification of environmental justice populations by block group, using the data obtained in response to part a above, by applying the following methods included in EPA’s Promising Practices for EJ Methodologies in NEPA Reviews (2016).6 i.
To identify environmental justice communities based on the presence of minority populations, use the “50 percent” and the “meaningfully greater” analysis methods. To use the “50 percent” analysis method, determine whether the total percent minority population of any block group in the affected area exceeds 50 percent. To use the “meaningfully greater” analysis determine whether any affected block group affected is 10 percent greater than the minority population percent in the county using the following process: 1. Calculate the percent minority in the reference population (county) 2. To the reference population’s percent minority, add 10 percent (i.e., multiply the percent minority in the reference population by 1.1) 3. This new percentage is the threshold that a block group’s percent minority would need to exceed to qualify as an environmental justice community under the meaningfully greater analysis method.
ii.
To identify environmental justice communities based on the presence of low-income populations, use the “low-income threshold criteria” method. To use the “low income threshold criteria,” the percent of the population below the poverty level in the identified block group must be equal to or greater than that of the reference population (county).
c) A map showing the project boundary and location(s) of any project-related construction in relation to any identified environmental justice communities within the geographic scope. Denote on the map if the block group is identified as an 6

As relates to other federal or state of Nevada agencies with and interest in this project, the Bureau of Land Management should be listed as they will need to authorize a right-of-way for this project. The Nevada Division of Water Resources should be listed as they are responsible for both water rights and dam safety in the state of Nevada. The Nevada Department of Wildlife and Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Program should also be listed given the need to mitigate wildlife species and comply with state laws in this regard. The County understands, per an update from the Project Proponent to the County Commission on April 13, 2022, that it plans to abandon access from the Duck Creek Basin to the east of the Upper Basin in lieu of access from US 93 to the south of the project location. The County supports this revision and would request an update to the map and project description to better reflect proposed primary access. Also, a map should be provided that shows surface ownership, so it is clear as to who has authority and interest in the various aspects of the project. It would be helpful to include a schematic of each of these project features. Given that geotechnical and other project background is being completed, it should be made clear which features are anticipated to change. For example, is the size and lining of the water conveyances subject to change pending the outcome of pending geotechnical drilling and seismic investigations? A map of land ownership needs to be provided. A photographic rendering or basic layout of this reservoir would be helpful. It should be made clear where materials for the dam will come from. It should be made clear if both sides of the dam will be rock lined or just the inner dam face. If the outer face is not proposed for rock lining, then it should be made clear if revegetation will occur and with what sort of vegetation. It should also be made clear if the ponds will be fenced and/or available for wildlife and other use. Same as above.

Comment The County supports co-locating the transmission lines with other existing lines to the extent possible. The Project Proponent should consult with the Ely airport as to any potential impacts to aviation given the 150’ proposed tower height. The County supports avoiding construction or permanent access from County Road 29 in the Duck Creek Basin in lieu of access from Highway 93 in the Steptoe Valley. This section mentions access to quarry sites and laydown and yard areas. Any quarries or temporary construction areas will need to be identified and analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement as this will be of interest to County residents. The location of the well proposed near the Upper Reservoir should be mapped and more details provided. It should also be made clear if this well is to be in the Steptoe Valley Hydrographic Basin consistent with County water rights or if this would require a new application. The County appreciates minimal lighting in and around the reservoir areas as well as the commitment to Dark Sky’s best management practices. The County appreciates the disclosure on fencing. More detail will need to be provided in terms of placement and design that meets security standards while minimizing impacts to wildlife. The County is interested if the project proponent ever considered approaching KGHM Robinson and the Robinson Mine as a potential alternative given some of the reported screening criteria as the site appears to meet many of the criteria with considerably less environmental impacts. If this site was considered, then rational for why it wasn’t advanced should be shared. Were any other mountain ranges considered, particularly any closer to the Robinson Substation?
See above comment. The comment is made that, “…it is difficult if not impossible to completely avoid lands with sensitive land use or habitat classifications.” The exceptions to this statement are areas of existing disturbance. This figure should be updated to better show the proposed and existing transmission alignments as well as the location of the existing substations.

Comment It should be noted that Greenlink North has not even begun its Environmental Impact Statement and is still likely several years from being permitted let alone built. While SWIP North has been permitted, construction has yet to begin. It should also be disclosed if the Proponent considered upgrades to the Gondor Substation. The paragraph below the table indicates that Alternative 5 would have the fewest wildlife impacts due to less construction time. However, much of this area around Alternative 7 has previously been burned and impacts to wildlife may actually be less that the proposed alternative due to this existing disturbance. Was any another biological analysis completed to quantify the number of acres or Conservation Credits of the Alternatives analyzed?
The County appreciates modification to the lower reservoir to avoid the Nevada Northern Railway rail line.
Bullet 3 discussed a lined rockfill dam to utilize excavated material. Would this excavated material come from the reservoir or the shaft? Is the dam large enough to handle all excavated material or will material need to be hauled off-site or spoiled elsewhere? The Upper Reservoir appears to have a raised embankment around the entire perimeter, which seems to defeat one of the selection criteria of selecting the site with the best characteristics for a dam. Is this design being implemented simply to utilize as much excavated material as possible? In an early section or attachments, the proposed action mentioned a well near the Upper Reservoir. This section should discuss the status of this proposed well. Also, discussion related to the State Engineering processing permits should clearly indicate if the applications are Ready for Action or Protested as this could affect overall project timelines.

What is the “wholesale energy market” and is this energy provided local power projects and providers such as Mt Wheeler Power or would this be coming from regional renewable projects that may not be located within the County? Also, what is the mechanism for selling power to the wholesale market (i.e. Power Purchase Agreement) and who are the anticipated customers of this power? Does the proposed construction schedule include any possible seasonal restrictions that may be required to avoid or minimize impacts to wildlife? If not, these contingencies should be disclosed.

Comment The County provided extensive feedback to the baseline study plans for the eight listed baselines studies, and will provide feedback to the Project Proponent as appropriate. What is the timeframe for updating these reports given that various aspects of the project (particularly access) is likely to change? The Water Advisory Committee [now incorporated into the White Pine County Natural Resource Advisory Committee (NRAC)] requested completion of a “Hydrogeological Study”. When will this baseline study be completed and presented to the NRAC and County Commission? This section should also note that the Proposed Project is largely located on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and that a right-of-way for project facilities as well as construction will need to be obtained before the project can move forward. Rows 1 and 3 of this table should be updated to reflect that not only is consultation with BLM required, but the Environmental Impact Statement must meet the BLM standards for analyzing and potentially issuing a right-of-way.

For example, will downstream properties be required to obtain additional flood insurance? What might a flood event do to the existing downstream railway, US Highway and existing power substation? It should be made clear how many parcels or private property would be crossed by the proposed transmission line, and what the anticipated impact to those properties is.

Comment It has been reported by the Project Proponent through the County Commission (Public Meeting on April 13, 2022) that the proposed access road to the Upper Reservoir from County Road 29 has been abandoned and all access will be from the Steptoe Valley side via US 93. The County appreciates this change as the Duck Creek Basin contains highly valuable natural resource, recreation and visual resources. This / subsequent documents need to be updated to reflect this substantial change and baseline studies need to be supplemented to do the same. Now that a more detailed location and description of a well field is complete, a Hydrogeology Study should be completed as requested by the White Pine County Water Advisory Committee. In an earlier Exhibit, the Proponent mentioned a small well located near the Upper Reservoir. If this is the case, then this section needs to disclose that project feature and discuss potential impacts. This section needs to provide more detail in terms of the Nevada Division of Water Resources’ permitting process and disclose any protests that have been filed or potential impacts to nearby water rights holders and/or domestic well owners. The County appreciates the approach to minimize lighting throughout the project. The County appreciates all the proposed measures contained on this page. As relates to Botanical and Wildlife Resources, the County appreciates the use of existing roads to the greatest degree possible and would reiterate it support for eliminating access from the Duck Creek Basin via County Road 29. The County appreciates all the proposed measures contained on this page. In particular, the County supports co-location of as much new infrastructure as possible as proposed for the new transmission line. At the same time, the Proponent needs to work with any property owners to minimize and mitigate potential impacts as well as implementing any requirements and best management practices the BLM may have to do the same on public lands. The County appreciates all the proposed measures contained on this page. In particular, the County supports working with Private landowners and affected grazing permittees to avoid, minimize or mitigate impacts. Existing water right holders or domestic well owners may need to be added to this list.

Comment The County understands the need to fence the upper and lower reservoirs and appreciates that no recreation will be allowed within these areas. However, the County would stress the importance of providing public access around any new project features and does not support restriction or closure of access along existing roads or to adjacent public lands. The County appreciates and supports measures to minimize impacts to key Wildlife Resources in the area and would encourage coordinating with NDOW and the State Sage-grouse Ecosystem Technical Team for possible deployment of GPS collars to monitor key species movement prior to, during and after construction of the project so that adaptive management measures can be implemented. Does the project propose to incorporate seasonal timing restrictions as required by the State and BLM for the geotechnical investigation? The County supports mitigation of wildlife resources and would encourage mitigation that is as close as possible to the proposed project to benefit the local populations that will be affected. The County appreciates all the proposed measures contained on this page.

The County would rather not see construction of temporary worker housing and is willing to work with the Proponent to find better housing options. Additional measures that should be incorporated include, but are not limited to: • Working with existing water right and domestic well owners who may be affected by the project. • Working with adjacent and downstream landowners as well as the Nevada Division of Water Resources to minimize emergency and potential flood impacts. •
The Count is curios if a previously disturbed area such as the Robinson Mine was ever explored in the course of Alternative Analysis as it meets many of the criteria listed in this section.
The County would be interested to know the socio-economic impact of the three listed projects in the Western US.

Comment
Please see above comments to Exhibits A and B.
The County’s request for a Hydrogeological Study still stands. The County was hopeful this would have been completed by now, but as it stands, the sooner this can be completed the better.
The County does not believe that the groundwater storage figure of 224,000 acre-feet is consistent with the State Engineer’s estimate. Since the State Engineer will ultimately determine the outcome of water rights and permits, their basin estimate should be utilized. It should also be noted that both surface and groundwater sources as important to agriculture and livestock production in the County. Both industries are critically important to the County’s customs, culture and economy. It should be noted that Resolution 2021-12 was passed with a request for a more detailed Hydrogeology Study. The County is looking forward to that study and has information pertinent to existing wells and date near the project that would be helpful in the analysis. This is of critical importance to the County and where a Hydrogeology Study in coordination with the Commission and Natural Resource Advisory Committee could be extremely valuable in better understanding and describing potential impacts as well as means to mitigate such impacts. If impacts are anticipated, then a mitigation plan should be developed. The County would also like to request a copy of the Piteau Associates 2021 Report cited in this section. Does this figure include residential wells? If so, please clarify the legend. If not, please add.

Much of the consultation that has occurred up until this point did not include the level of detail that has been provided in this DLA. As such, ongoing coordination and outreach is of paramount importance, particularly as it relates to potential impacts on water resources.
Given the baseline work that has been completed thus far, it seems that at least a preliminary analysis could have been included for this section.
It should be noted, and incorporated into this discussion, that the State of Nevada has a noxious weed list and associated regulations.
The County would caution against this statement, “Thus, the Project will not likely have any significant impacts on terrestrial botanical resources.” Reclamation, restoration, and enhancement in these environments can be very difficult particularly given the presence of cheatgrass, and any plan should include a robust monitoring and adaptive management component.
The County supports development of a Weed Management Plan, and recommends coordination with the Tri-County Weed District as well as a robust monitoring plan so that any new establishment of noxious weeds can be addressed quickly.

152 / 3.8.1.1 Recreation in the Conceptual Project Area
Comment The County appreciates the inclusion of this table and suggests this be included in the Exhibit C: Proposed Construction Schedule with a discussion as to how these seasonal timing restrictions could impact overall project construction and duration in particular.
The County and many of its citizens are concerned with the potential impacts described here, particularly given the extended construction timeframe. The County encourages on-going coordination with the County and State to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible, and develop a mitigation plan for affected species. The County appreciates the disclosure of the preliminary Debit obligation of 827 through the State Conservation Credit System. The County recognizes that this will need to be refined as the final project design comes into focus. The County encourages as much avoidance and minimization as possible as relates to Sage-grouse (particularly increased noise impacts during prolonged construction). The County further recommends mitigation or credit purchases within the County at minimum, but preferable as close to the impact area as possible to offset impacts to the effected populations. The County appreciates the list provided. However, it should be made clear if the project proponent intends to recognize all seasonal timing restrictions during construction and if not, how noise impacts will be mitigated. Also, the design of the reservoirs and in particular security fencing will need to be completed in a way that minimizes wildlife impacts to the greatest degree possible. In particular, the County is concerned with the potential subsidy and added perches for Corvids and Raptors, which could increase predation on Sage-grouse. The County supports the concept of developing a Mitigation Plan (particularly for Sage-grouse and Mule deer) within White Pine County and as close to the Project Site as possible. If the Proponent elects to purchase Credits through the State’s CCS Project, the County strongly recommends a purchase within White Pine County and preferable within the same Population Management Unit. Potential impacts to recreation should in no way be discounted because there are “…currently no recreation facilities located within the Conceptual Project Boundary…” This area is extremely popular for primitive and dispersed recreation and that needs to be acknowledged in this section.

Comment The County can understand the potential limitation as relates to recreational access to the immediate project area. However, the County does NOT support restrictions (even temporary in natural) to recreational access to surrounding public lands.
The County would like to see the Applicant develop an Access Plan in order to minimize any restriction on public access for recreational purposes to public lands around the Project Area. This plan and mapping should be made available to the community as well as visitor through temporary kiosks or other media and social media outlets.
This section should describe any anticipated change to flood plain mapping or dam hazard mapping as a result of construction of the upper and lower reservoirs. The same comment is applicable to section 3.9.2.3 The County recommends that the Project Proponent work with identified affected permittees to minimize impacts to their allotments and operations. The County appreciates the identified coordination with Grazing Permittees. The Country recommends the addition of coordination with landowners downstream of the two reservoirs to ensure that any impacts as a result of altered flood plains or dam safety are identified and minimized or mitigated. The County remains concerned with visual impacts, primarily as relates to reservoirs and dam faces. Effort should be made to minimize the overall height and length of dam faces and where possible, revegetation with native or desirable adaptive grass species should be implemented to minimize visual contrast and potential for establishment of invasive or noxious weed species. The may be particularly key for the upper reservoir, particularly as it relates to the proposal for a rock filled dam. The County supports the positive economic development this project could bring to the County, and also recognizes that ongoing engagement is necessary to address potential challenges such as housing and emergency services. The County is concern with the potential for the Project Proponent to seek tax abatements that could considerable alter some of the revenue and tax projections. This is something that the Proponent needs to disclose if there is a potential for seeking such abatements.

Comment Given the amount of baseline study completed to this point, the County believes that a preliminary list should have been provided in this section.
The County appreciates that WPW is “considering” several County plans and would advocate for a continued working relationship with the County to ensure consistency with these plans to the greatest practical extent.
Given the time allotted to provide these comments to FERC, the County was not able to review all provided baseline reports. However, it should be noted that all of these reports will likely need to be updated as the project changes and is further refined. Of note as it relates to project refinements is the Proponent’s reported access alteration to avoid access from Duck Creek Basin in lieu of access from US 93, which the County supports.

*NNR Foundation. These comments (in greater detail) were also filed (May 18, 2022) separately with FERC on NNR letterhead. “The Foundation therefore requests that FERC direct Gridflex to properly complete and/or initiate the following studies before their draft license application (DLA) proceeds: Cultural Resources Study, Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, Recreation Resources Study, Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use and Experience Study, Socioeconomic Impact Study, and a Study on the Impact of the Current Megadrought on the Reliability of the Proposed Project.”
Sam Leif’s filing: Sam Leif, N Las Vegas, NV. Dear Secretary Bose:
I am writing you today to ask that FERC deny Gridflex Energy, LLC’s request to proceed with its White Pine Pumped Storage Project P-14851-00. I am a financial supporter of the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. I regularly drive from Las Vegas to Ely to visit NNR, along with a number of friends and family. The unique railroad experience, including traveling by rail through pristine, undeveloped areas that afford breathtaking vistas and the opportunity to see native wildlife in their natural habitat is the SOLE reason we visit Ely. Having this disturbed will be a major adverse impact on my enjoyment of the railway and negatively impact tourism. The project will have major adverse impacts on the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark that Gridflex Energy has failed to address in its DLA. I am particularly concerned that the GridFlex Energy project could bring about devastating and irreparable harm to the Nevada Northern Railway. In 2021, both the National Park Service and the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation requested that Gridflex Energy do a series of studies to quantify the impact of their White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P-14851) on the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation. The requested studies would address critical information on the economic contribution of tourism related to Nevada Northern Railway Foundation trains. The missing information is essential to assessing both short-term impacts (during the 6-year construction period) and long-term impacts (during project operation) that the project would have on the railroad’s economic contributions to the local economy. For example, both the National Park Service and the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation requested that Gridflex Energy do photo simulations that would show the impacts of their project on the railroad’s overall visitor experience. GridFlex Energy has declined to do these photo simulations. Based on the limited information that GridFlex Energy has provided so far, it is already known that their reservoirs, service roads and waste rock dumps will negatively impact the railroad’s visitor experience and I fear the project will have a significant detrimental impact on the community’s local economy. I therefore ask that the Gridflex Energy, LLC Draft License Application for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P-14851) not be authorized until the requested studies have been thoroughly and properly performed so that the full adverse impact of Gridflex Energy’s project on the railroad and the local tourist economy can be determined. To be sure, any authorization of the project by FERC must require the inclusion of proper mitigation measures before the project proceeds. The Nevada Northern Railway is a source of community pride. The Foundation has been working diligently over the past 35 years to develop a world-renowned tourist attraction for the betterment of the community. We are determined to do our part to facilitate responsible energy project development. But that will not occur under the project as set out in the DLA. We therefore ask that FERC only permit the Gridflex Energy project to proceed if the project first adequately addresses the Nevada Northern Railway’s concerns. The project must be required to take necessary steps actions to preserve for future generations an incomparable piece of our nation’s history. Sincerely, Sam Leif Nevada Northern Railway Museum Member since 2013

Mayor Robertson, Thank you for our call on Friday. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you and to be a resource for the City of Ely during the evaluation and licensing process for the White Pine Pumped Storage project. We firmly believe that this project will be a tremendous benefit to the community and the region for many years to come. We understand that some misunderstanding about the project exists. It is important to me and to rPlus to continually work with the community and to inform it about the next steps and ongoing process relating to the project. The draft license application rPlus submitted is a major step forward in that regard. As we discussed during our call, rPlus representatives met with, and provided a presentation to the White Pine County – Natural Resources Advisory Committee last Tuesday evening and found it to be quite beneficial and enlightening to everyone in attendance. We believe that it would also be helpful and informative to provide a similar presentation to you and the City of Ely – City Council. In the event you feel it would be productive, we are available to meet with you and the City Council and to present an update on the status of the project, to discuss the permitting process, and to answer any questions or concerns. The topics we are happy to discuss include the following: 1. An overview of rPlus Hydro 2. Purpose and need for Pumped Storage Hydro 3. Economic benefits of the project 4. Overview of the project design and plans 5. Overview of the permitting process and timelines For your information, the White Pine Pumped Storage draft license application, Exhibit E, Appendix H, “Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report” contains a discussion of the project’s potential visual impacts and includes photo simulations of the visual perspectives from a variety of viewing locations. We also have a virtual rendering of the project that shows how it will look once it is constructed which can be found on the project website at https://www.whitepinepumpedstorage.com/. We have found this video truly helps individuals better understand how the project will integrate into the community. If there are other topics that you feel are important, we are more than happy to discuss those as well.
Most importantly, going forward, we are available at any time and would truly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and the City Council to discuss any issues or concerns that you may have with the project. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take great care, Greg Copeland | Program Manager, Hydro 801-759-2223 | www.rplushydro.com

May 17, 2022 [electronically filed]
Honorable Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street NE, Room 1A Washington, DC 20426 Subject: Comments on Scoping Document 1 for the White Pine Pump Power Pumped Storage Project, FERC No.14851-000, White Pine County, Nevada. Dear Honorable Secretary Bose, The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has reviewed the Notice of Intent to File License Application White Pine Power Pumped Storage Project, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended. The White Pine Pump Storage Project is proposing to study the feasibility of the project, an advanced pumped storage project to be located in White Pine County, Nevada. The BLM offers the following comments on the application. Under Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), BLM, “with respect to public lands (including public lands, as defined in section 103(e) of this Act, which are reserved from entry pursuant to section 24 of the Federal Power Act)[,]” has the authority to “grant, issue, or renew rights-of-way over, upon, under or through such lands for— (1) reservoirs, canals, ditches, flumes, laterals, pipes, pipelines, tunnels, and other facilities and systems for the impoundment, storage, transportation, or distribution of water[.]” The proposed White Pine Pump Storage Project will require an authorization on BLM-administered lands prior to any ground disturbance activities. Further, the White Pine Pump Storage Project will require BLM to analyze any impacts to environmental resources through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and potentially through an Environmental Impact Statement due to significant effects on groundwater, sensitive species including Greater Sage-grouse, and overall public controversy. The proposed project also may not conform with the BLM Resource Management Plans applicable to the area. Greater Sage-grouse and other Wildlife Habitat The Greater Sage-grouse is a BLM and State of Nevada Sensitive Species, which occurs within the project area, as well as the greater surrounding area. The management of Greater Sagegrouse habitat falls under the 2015 Greater Sage-Grouse Nevada and Northeast California Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA). This amendment requires avoidance of major rights-of-way grants within Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA) and [Type here]
Document Accession #: 20220517-5101
Filed Date: 05/17/2022
General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA) for Greater Sage-grouse habitat types. The ARMPA has a 3.1-mile lek buffer distance requirement for new surface disturbance from a lek within Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA) and General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA). An amendment to the 2015 ARMPA would be required as part of an Environmental Impact Statement in order for the BLM to be able to issue a Right-of-Way Grant for the project. There are requirements under the 2015 ARMPA that would need to be adhered to, including the Required Design Features (RDFs). This draft document does not indicate how it will fully mitigate impacts to Greater Sage-grouse. The State of Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team Conservation Credit System does not offset non-compliance with the ARMPA. Greater Sage-grouse and big game seasonal restrictions need to be incorporated into the Project’s Protection, Mitigation, and Enhancement Measures (PM&E). A construction schedule would be advisable to ensure that various project components are constructed during the open periods for Greater Sage-grouse and other wildlife seasonal restrictions. Any seasonal waivers for Greater Sage-grouse need to be approved by Nevada Department Of Wildlife (NDOW) prior to a Record of Decision. Additionally, mitigation measures need to be incorporated into the effects evaluation for Greater Sage-grouse. The pre-application fails to quantify affected habitat for Greater Sage-grouse and big game habitat. Please determine the acres of disturbance to Greater Sage-grouse habitat management areas and seasonal habitats, as well as pronghorn, mule deer, and elk habitats including crucial winter range. Additionally, Greater Sage-grouse lek locations are considered sensitive and should not be included in public documents. The migratory date for raptor nest sites is March 1 to July 31, needs to be considered for impacts from the project. Pygmy rabbits are also a sensitive species and requires additional measures for protection. Active pygmy rabbit habitat should be avoided when feasible. If pygmy rabbit habitat cannot be avoided, the BLM should be contacted, and mitigation would be a requirement. Sensitive Plants Cacti that cannot be avoided during construction to must be salvaged and salvage must comply with state regulations. Water Resources including Hydrology There is a lack of information in the water resources discussion of the Draft License Application that prevents a confident effects analysis on the BLM’s part. For instance, section 2.4.3 provides no reference to the documents used to review the area hydrogeology or to the studies performed to confirm the viability of the new location proposed for the four new reservoir supply wells. Section 3.4.2.2 gives a range of transmissivity for the area of 1,350 to 13,500 square feet per day. This a reasonable transmissivity range for unconsolidated basin-fill materials and the text provides a reference to the study that supplies these estimates. However, the study is not made available to the BLM to review the background information and methods used to arrive at these
Document Accession #: 20220517-5101

figures. Section 3.4.2.2 gives a ground water depth estimate of 70 feet below ground surface for the pumping well area. This estimate is also reasonable based on information on static water levels from nearby wells obtained from the Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) Nevada Hydrology Data mapping tool. Figure 3.4-2 on page 85 illustrates the locations of private wells in the area and their relationship to the estimated reach of the drawdown isopleths. However, several public wells show up on the NDWR mapping tool that are not shown in figure 3.4-2, which are closer to the pumping well locations than those shown on the figure. Some of the wells seen on the NDWR mapping tool appear to possibly fall within the drawdown zone of influence. Section 2.2.1.14 mentions a proposed 800-foot installation depth for the pumping wells but describes no hydrogeological rationale, which imparts an arbitrary sense to this number and lack of supporting data. Nowhere in the water resources discussion are plans mentioned for conducting pumping tests and for building a groundwater model based on test results and sitespecific response to the maximum 3,000 gallons per minute initial fill rate. A reassurance that these tests would be conducted, and that the test data and model results will be provided, would be necessary for BLM to analyze the proposed project. Springsnails There are numerous springs in Steptoe Valley that are inhabited by springsnails, which are a suite of sensitive species. It is difficult to determine what impacts the initial groundwater withdrawal would have on these springs. Even a temporary cease in flow at one of these springs could be detrimental to that springsnails population. An extensive evaluation of groundwater impacts is needed in order to determine if there are any potential impacts to neighboring springs. Soils Soil disturbance increases the ability of noxious and non-native weeds to occupy an area. A project of this scale has the potential to lead to the invasion of noxious and non-native weeds in the White Pine Pump Storage Project area and adjacent areas and may create new or expanded populations of several invasive weed species. Construction activities could inadvertently distribute seeds and/or parts of invasive weeds, thus facilitating their spread through the White Pine Pump Storage Project area and adjacent areas. In addition, road improvements will be necessary on access roads, disclosure of the road improvements, especially to access to the upper reservoir from either the Duck Creek Basin side or shift the access exclusively to the Steptoe Valley Side. These roads are steep and unimproved, would require re-routing, and the impacts from construction and operation will need to be analyzed. Recreation The proposed project would result in the loss of public lands used for dispersed recreational activities within the proposed areas for the duration of facility operation, until the completion of decommissioning. Several existing trails for hiking and biking, equestrian use, hunting and camping would be impacted.

Rights-of-Way The White Pine Pump Storage Project would be located adjacent to the Right-of-Way Grant for the Northern Nevada Railway Line, which operates its Tourist Train based in downtown Ely. The proposed project also is adjacent to a designated transmission “368 energy” Corridor. The project proposes to operate adjacent to and underneath the Northern Nevada Right-of-Way Grant and will require an analysis of any impacts and mitigation to existing rights-of-way holders. The Cumulative Effects analysis also would need to address how the electric transmission lines would facilitate foreseeable solar energy projects elsewhere in the valley along the transmission lines toward Robinson Summit substation. The BLM appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary permit application for the proposed project (FERC No. 14851). We have described concerns that could result from the actions identified in the preliminary permit application. The BLM encourages the applicant and FERC to consult and coordinate with the BLM if this project proceeds further. For questions regarding the BLM resources, please contact me, by e-mail at Jbybee@blm.gov or by phone at (775) 289-1847. Sincerely,
JARED BYBEE

From: Nathan Robertson <Mayor@cityofelynv.gov> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 11:25 AM To: Gregory Copeland <gcopeland@rplusenergies.com> Subject: RE: WPPH - Follow up email to call with Mayor Robertson on May 13, 2022 Greg, Thanks again for the call. I’ll look through the DLA on the website. The main concerns I hear are as follows: Visual and light impact to NNRy operations. Visual impact to those living in Duck Creek. Will there be an access road to the upper reservoir from the Duck Creek side or from the Steptoe Valley side? (Visual impact of a road going up Peacock on the Steptoe Side) The power this facility generates will not be used here locally. (This is not a power generating facility, I think that needs to be made clear. It’s a storage facility and a necessary component for the national grid infrastructure as more wind and solar generating stations come on-line.) This project will bring many jobs to the area. (The community heard this with the wind farm that went into Spring Valley. I would really like to see some realistic figures on the projected manpower needed during construction and then to operate the facility. Inflating these numbers is unhelpful. The projections need to be consistent and realistic.) This project will vastly grow the County’s tax base. (This was also something the community heard with the wind farm. In the end that facility pays maybe $.20 on the dollar of what they otherwise would due to abatements granted by the state. And then even a smaller portion of that $.20 stays here locally. I think being up front about what abatements this project would be seeking and from who would go a long way to fostering an honest conversation with all parties involved.) What will be done with all the waste rock that gets excavated from the tunnels and underground facilities? We are in the midst of the worst drought on record. We don’t have the water for this kind of project. (How much water will this system need to address evaporation and other losses? Where would the water come from? ) There is no fence depicted around the lower reservoir in the computer simulation. It’s not an accurate depiction of what riders on the train would see. What assurance and safeguards are there to make sure that if this project gets started that it would get finished, and if not who cleans the site up? How much of this mountain would be off limits if this facility gets constructed? I’ll try to send any others along as I hear them.

Re:
White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC Project No. 14851) Draft Application for Original License, Unconstructed Project.
Dear Mr. Resta, The Nevada Department of Wildlife (the Department) thanks you for the opportunity to provide input on the Draft Application License (DLA) for the Proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Included in this letter are the Department’s comments as well as a comment matrix (attached). We greatly appreciate the effort involved in addressing concerns regarding this project and offer our comments below. Based on conversations we have had with Program Manager, Greg Copeland, we understand that the main access road has changed to exclude Duck Creek Basin. As such we did not provide comments on this portion of the access road and expect that there will be significant changes to this portion of the DLA. We will provide additional comments once the new access road(s) have been finalized. While we understand that the DLA is not impact analysis driven, the Department remains concerned about lack of impacts analysis to wildlife resources, specifically greater sage-grouse and mule deer. Based on information provided in the DLA it is our understanding that Habitat, Restoration, and Enhancement Plan will be utilized for minimization and mitigation measures for wildlife. The Department recommends that this Plan be developed in close coordination with the BLM, the Department, and the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team and that’s its development is such that it can be included as part of the Environmental Impact Statement. The Department would also echo the concern voiced by the Natural Resource Advisory Committee that a hydrological study is necessary to fully understand any potential impacts to groundwater and surface water springs.
A comment matrix with more detail comments by page number and section are attached this letter. Should you need clarification on any of the information provided, or require additional information, please contact Moira Kolada, mkolada@ndow.org or 775-289-1655 ext 5. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to provide comment on this EA and the on-going collaboration and communication on this project, and request that NDOW continue to be included as this project moves forward.

Comment In the overview of the Aquatic Resources Delineation Report it states that the water conveyance tunnels might be surface or subsurface however here it states they will be underground. Please clarify this information. Consider including a general description of where the water will come from in this section. Please address the potential or lack of potential for ice buildup. Please address if there will be a need to chemically treat the water. Please provide additional details on the lower reservoir spillway such as its general location, length, and the erosion control plan in the event the spillway is utilized. This will aid in better understanding impacts for this element of the proposed project. Please clarify as to what is meant by “un-gated” vertical intake/outlet” on the bottom of the upper reservoir. All openings that provide wildlife access need to be secured. How long does it take for the dewatering of the reservoir? How far under the water is this structure? Depending on depth it may be necessary to ensure that wildlife cannot access this structure. Please include information regarding construction water needs and where it is anticipated this water will come from. Please clarify as to what is meant by “approved” for Greenlink North and West, as it is the Department’s understanding that Greenlink North has not yet completed its NEPA review process, in fact the Notice of Intent has not been filed and is not anticipated until 2023. Is the current configuration and capacity of the Robinson Substation adequate to handle the proposed tie in from this project? If not what type of upgrades would be necessary and who would be responsible for them? Are ground water monitoring wells being proposed as part of this project? Is this project anticipating any potential delay on access to groundwater based on ongoing drought conditions? If the initial fill or routine project operations are delayed due to a curtailment order by the Nevada State Engineer are there any impacts expected to the facilities?

Consider including consultation and requirements of Conservation Credit System (CCS) in this table. Use of the CCS in sage-grouse habitat is required by law in Nevada, with consultation initiating the mitigation process. The locations and types of the other appurtenant facilities need to be disclosed in order to fully assess impacts. Please include. Please confirm that these components are in the underground powerhouse and whether they will produce noise above ground or not. Regardless of water right, understanding impacts to the surrounding water table is necessary. The Department strongly encourages the development of a water resource plan. How deep are the proposed groundwater wells, including the smaller well located near the upper reservoir? Additionally, for the well located near the upper reservoir is this water right included in those obtained from the County? This well site will need to be evaluated for impacts to greater sage-grouse including noise and lighting. Potentially impacts to mountain springs would also need to be considered for the upper reservoir well. Location of the primary support facilities needs to be provided in order to assess potential impacts. Please include the BMPs for review to assess if they adequately capture wildlife/habitat protection needs. What is the timeline for the development of the Habitat Restoration, Reclamation, and Enhancement Plan? It is referenced as an integral part of the project and as such it should be completed before the project is permitted to assess adequacy/appropriateness of measures included. Nesting surveys dates should be March 1 to July 31, not August 31. Please provide recharge rate. Please clarify which warm springs are being referred to in this section. Please also check with Nevada Division of Minerals regarding abandoned mine lands. Were short duration intense thunderstorms considered is this analysis? Please provide the location of where construction materials will be obtained and where construction spoils will be disposed of. The Department would recommend the development of BMPs prior to the engagement of contractor; these BMPs may also be required as part of the Environmental Impact Statement for the BLM. Please double check the names of the smaller creeks listed in this section. The Department is unaware of a Wilson Creek north of Duck Creek.

Hinz et al. 2005 references warm spring in Newark Valley west of Buck Mountain, the Department is unsure as to why this location is referenced when there are warm/hot springs located near Cherry Creek which is significantly closer than Newark Valley. Is there rationale for this? Please describe what is meant by a “seasonal spring” (ephemeral?) and clarify if any springs were detected in the project area. Springsnails require consistent water conditions and would not occur in springs that would be considered ephemeral/intermittent. Please provide a citation of the lake increases and decreases. Based on the Departments knowledge, Comins Lake has not increased in size. Willow Creek, near the Ward Charcoal Ovens, also reaches the Steptoe Valley floor. Please provide context in regard to the recharge rate, is it the highest in county, state, country? What is expected rate of recharge to normal elevation? Why is the 5th well located near the upper reservoir not included in this section? Please correct – “mottle sculpin” to “mottled sculpin”. Please included the genus and species for Pahrump poolfish. The following species need to be added: Newark Valley Tui Chub, Preston White River Springfish, White River Spinedace, and Utah Chub. There are no suckers or killfish present and relict dace are the only native minnows within the project vicinity. The Department questions the validity of this information in regard to the project, however if it is included, please contact the Ely Field office more corrected information. Columbia Spotted frog are also known to occur within White Pine County. Please provide the Department with information regarding the occurrence of the Sierran treefrog including location of the occurrence and any photo documentation. It is worth noting that 6 of the springsnail species listed here are currently being reviewed for listing under the ESA. Please see our previous comment regarding springsnails and “seasonal” springs. Please include a brief statement as to why are aquatic invasive species included in this document. The first sentence of section 3.5.15 says that there is no information available on crayfish. Please clarify. Pending the findings of the proposed hydrological study on nearby springs additional analysis may be required for aquatic species. SR-93 should be HWY-93 Hoary cress is also present within vicinity of the conceptual project boundary.

Please provide the acreages of the habitats disturbed. For the recent population estimates on greater sage-grouse the Department would recommend updating the information as follows: “As of 2021 there were 125 active or pending active leks within White Pine County PMUs”. Here and elsewhere in the document significant information is provided regarding the SVWMA which may be confusing to some readers as the SVWMA is not within the conceptual project boundary. For clarity the Department would recommend decreasing the emphasis of the habitat and species present at SVWMA. Recommend rephrasing “The largest elk heard in Nevada inhabits the SVWMA” to One of the largest elk herds inhabits MA 11, which includes SVWMA and surrounding areas. The Schell Creek and Egan ranges provide important seasonal habitats in addition to wintering grounds for elk. Please separate upland game, furbearers, and unprotected species. They are all treated separately for management. Please provide the survey period associated with these observations. Please update using the 2021-22 Big Game Status Book. (https://www.ndow.org/wpcontent/uploads/2022/04/2021-22-Big-Game-Status-Book-DRAFT-April-2022.pdf) Bighorn sheep are not present within conceptual project boundary. It is stated here that pronghorn were observed but they are not included on the Table 3.7-1. Please provide a key for the status column. Pronghorn—please change “low understory” to “short understory” for clarity. Hunting of greater sage-grouse has been closed in the majority of White Pine County since 2021. The information regarding survey dates and the number of leks does not match Table 3.7-7. Please check for accuracy and clarify. Please ensure that the reference to permanent disturbance is consistent throughout the document for both vegetation and wildlife habitats. These acreages should also be disclosed. Habitat fragmentation could also potentially affect avian species such as greater sage-grouse and larger terrestrial species such as mule deer. The reservoirs, powerlines, access roads, facilities, and increase human presence will have permanent impacts to wildlife habitat which may result in long term impacts to wildlife primarily sage-grouse and mule deer. A seven-year construction period could result in permanent changes in animal movements and behavior. This needs to be included in the impact analysis.

Avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures need to be considered for wintering ungulates during critical periods including limiting access to crucial wintering areas for big game. Please clarify which areas are to be fenced and what style of fencing would be used. The Department always recommends wildlife-friendly fencing and would be available to help with specification recommendations. Impacts need to be analyzed from additional access provided to the general project area by the public and avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures should be considered. The fencing information provided in regard to bats will be insufficient to keep wild ungulates from accessing the reservoirs. Please clarify as to if the field studies conducted for the species in this section include specific surveys methods for the species listed. They don’t appear to be identified. Avian nesting studies only need to go until July 31. Habitat, Restoration, and Enhancement Plan—this should be completed prior to implementation of the project. The Department recommends developing a Bird and Bat Protection Plan as to be more inclusive than just raptors. The location of the lower reservoir is frequently used for a variety of dispersed recreation activities including but not limited to hunting, hiking, and mountain bike riding. Egan Crest Trail and Garnet Hill should be included in this section. Earlier it was stated that construction would last 7 years, here it says 6 years. Please clarify.

There are known northern goshawk nests within the Duck Creek Range as such it should not be assumed that the northern goshawks seen during surveys were migratory. Based on transmitter work done in northern Nevada, in similar habitats, there is evidence that these birds may not migrate.

May 18, 2022 The Honorable Kimberly D. Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 Re: P-14581, White Pine Pumped Storage Project – Comments on February 17, 2022, Draft License Application (DLA) The Nevada Northern Railway (NNRy or Railway) Foundation (Foundation) submits these comments to express its serious concerns regarding the above-referenced Gridflex Energy, LLC (Gridflex or Applicant) pumped storage project (Project) and the incomplete studies and lack of studies Gridflex has prepared and proposed addressing impacts of the Project P-14851 on the Railway, a National Historic Landmark. The Gridflex studies prepared so far have not adequately addressed the Foundation’s ongoing preservation efforts, the impact on our NNRy operations and the economic impact on tourism in White Pine County. The Foundation therefore requests that FERC direct Gridflex to properly complete and/or initiate the following studies before their draft license application (DLA) proceeds: • • • • • •
Cultural Resources Study. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study. Recreation Resources Study. Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use and Experience Study. A Socioeconomic Impact Study. A Study on the Impact of the Current Megadrought on the Reliability of the Proposed Project.
In the Foundation’s April 9, 2021, comments to Gridflex, for example, when Gridflex had submitted their study plans for review, the Foundation had asked Applicant to expand their Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, Cultural Resources Study, and Recreation Resources Study to address the Foundation’s various concerns. Gridflex never made those requested study improvements. As more details of the Project have become available, the Foundation’s unease regarding the Project have increased. The Foundation’s various concerns arise mainly from Applicant’s proposal to construct and insert their significant Project infrastructure between and in the line of sight of the rights-of-way of two of the Railway’s tracks. The HiLine track has been used by the Foundation since it started tourism excursion trains thirty-five years ago. The Foundation has plans underway to restore the Mainline tracks and has received a $10,168,421 grant from Southern Nevada Public Lands Management (SNPLMA) for this Mainline expansion and improvement. Opening the Mainline will allow NNRy excursion trains to reach _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

the historic McGill Depot opening valuable new recreational and economic opportunities for both the Foundation and the community of McGill. Under their Project, Gridflex would place the lower storage reservoir between our two tracks. Moreover, the Project’s tunnel portal, substation, access route, and transmission lines would all be visible from the two tracks compromising our Railway passengers’ experience. The pristine viewshed currently enjoyed by our passengers would likely be spoiled by a power generation project that is poorly conceived and studied. The outcome is not difficult to image: the Project could fatally damage the economic health of the Foundation and the McGill community. Cultural Resources Study The NNRy is deeply concerned that the development of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project near the NNRy’s track will have an adverse effect on the Railroad, which has special protections under Section 106 of the NHPA, as amended. Nevada Northern Railway complex is a National Historic Landmark. National Historic Landmark status is the highest honor that the federal government can bestow on an historic site. National Historic Landmarks are so designated because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating and interpreting the heritage of the United States. Other National Historic Landmarks include Independence Hall, the Library of Congress and the United States Naval Base, Pearl Harbor. In furtherance of the Foundation’s mission to interpret the impact of the railroad and railroading on White Pine County and our National Historic Landmark designation the Foundation operates excursion trains on the Mainline and the HiLine. From the 1850’s until the early 1900’s, gold and silver discoveries occurred throughout Nevada. Legendary towns boomed. Rich mines were developed. And storied railroads were built to serve these towns and mines. Ely, the county seat of White Pine County, was the site of one of the last major booms in Nevada. The White Pine County boom is exceptional, however. Here the towns in the county benefitting from the boom still exist: the mine is still producing copper ore and the Railway still operates. The NNRy demonstrates what it took to move a mountain of copper ore, just as it has for nearly a century. The Railway is the “real McCoy”. The Railway brings people from around the world to White Pine County. The original locomotives couple up to the original cars. Passengers purchase their tickets at the original depot ticket office and board their trains. The trains take them out on the original Mainline and HiLine tracks. Repairs are made to the original buildings using the original tools. It is that living and operating time capsule that is recognized as a National Historic Landmark. The Mainline was built in 1906. The Foundation’s success in receiving the SNPLMA grant to restore the railroad’s Mainline will allow NNRy to restore service and once again access the historic McGill Depot. The Foundation has saved that building from collapse and has been restoring it. Rehabilitating the track to McGill will allow the Foundation to build upon past successes and develop new opportunities and programs to continue to bring tourists to White Pine County. These existing and future Railway experiences are at now threatened and at risk of being damaged irreparably by the proposed Project. The NNRy is concerned that the Project will adversely impact the Railway for other reasons as well involving our popular astro-tourism program. The NNRy has built a strong and successful astro-tourism program in partnership with the rangers from Great Basin National Park. We use the HiLine branch for our astro-tourism programs.

Support for these programs has been very strong. The Great Basin Star Train sells out a year in advance. The White Pine Tourism and Recreation Board granted funds to build a Star platform on the HiLine. Our astro-tourism programs take advantage of our area’s unique dark skies. What started as a once-a-month event has grown to an event that occurs three times a week from mid-May to mid-September. Our astrotourism programs produce a sizeable revenue stream for not only the Railway but also for the general community. Because the program takes place in the evening and 99% of the participants are from outside White Pine County, the tourists who ride our astro-tourism trains spend the night in White Pine County. These tourists have a sizeable financial impact to the community. How the Project will impact the current dark skies astro-tourism program is presently completely unknown. It is literally a “black hole” in the study. The Project’s impact is not mentioned at all in the proposed study plan and needs to be properly addressed. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study
The Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report includes only two photo simulations along the NNRy’s HiLine. Yet, the Applicant states that their Assess Visual Condition or Scenic Integrity of the Photo simulated Project Facilities, “…will describe the degree of existing visual contrast or existing scenic integrity of the Project facilities when viewed from a road or use area (including recreational facility) in terms of form, line, color, and texture, as well as proximity, extent, duration, and aspect of viewing.” The two simulations contained in the report are insufficient for a project of this magnitude. The NNRy’s HiLine and Mainline railroad tracks should receive the same scrutiny given to roads as described in section 4.2.4 of the study report. The study is inadequate for other reasons as well. The $10,168,421 SNPLMA grant to the Railway enables the Foundation to restore the railroad’s Mainline from Ely through the proposed Project boundary to McGill. This grant allows NNRy to build upon past successes and develop new opportunities and programs to continue to bring tourists to White Pine County. These and other related improvements would be directly impacted by the proposed Project. The rehabilitation of the Mainline is not addressed by Gridflex at all in its study. Gridflex should be required to include photo simulations that cover both the HiLine and Mainline
railroad tracks. The photo simulations of the proposed Project facilities should include what the NNRy’s passengers will see from the train to include the tunnel portal, substation, access route, and transmission lines along the train’s routes. The photo simulations of proposed Project facilities should be done every 660 feet along the HiLine and the Mainline. Furthermore, these photo simulations should be 360 degrees in scope and show the views during the day and at night. We are especially concerned about the impact the Project facilities will have on our night skies. The current photo simulation on the White Pine Pumped Storage Project website of what passengers will see from the train of the lower reservoir is particularly misleading. The simulation shows an idyllic pond with water in it, without any fencing or lighting. Our concern is with view of the lower reservoir during the day when water will be at its bottom level and reveal a redstained basin. Additionally, other projects of this type are fenced, typically including barbed wire fencing. Another concern is if the pond will be lighted at night. The combination of low water
3

Filed Date: 05/18/2022
levels, barbed wire fences and lights will dramatically change the view our passengers will see from the train. Another issue that needs to be addressed in the photo simulations is the access road to the upper reservoir. In the original plan, the access road was to be located on the Duck Creek side of the mountain. It now appears that the access road will be on the railroad side of the mountain. To reach the upper reservoir, the road will require major switchbacks on the mountain’s face. The Foundation is also concerned that this new access road route may be lighted and how that could affect the Railroad passenger experience. In short, the study now shows only two photo simulations along the Railway’s Hi Line, neither of which offers a near field direct line of site of the Project’s infrastructure. The study also does not address the rehabilitation of the Mainline and the Project’s impact on the reopening of the railroad operations along this route. Recreation Resources Study
The Applicant’s study plan states the following in regard to recreation: Construction of the Project may have the potential to affect recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and • Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.” The Project will change and have a major impact on the area, especially the NNRy and its operations. Applicant’s Project, moreover, will affect recreation in the area as the Applicants acknowledge when they state, “There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides.” The Railway has developed recreational facilities within the study area. The largest is the Star Platform, which we just doubled in size in 2021. The Star Platform serves as an anchor for our very popular astro-tourism programs. This popularity of astro-tourism has increased the number trains that utilize this area to three a week, with a possible further increase projected for 2023. Additionally, the NNRy is anticipating using the Star Platform for non-train related astro-tourism programing. It is envisioned that
4
Document Accession #: 20220518-5171
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
tourists would convoy out to the Star Platform in their vehicles to participate in a “Dark Skies” program. Additionally, the Railway is creating a new recreational program that utilities the parallel service road as a bike trail. In cooperation with and in support of the White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board, the NNRy will premier “Rails-to-Trails” in 2022. This program will allow bicyclists to take their bicycle on the Railway’s train to the end of the HiLine. Once there, the bicyclists will get off the train and ride their bicycles back to Ely. We expect this to be a very popular program. The Project’s Resource Study Plan does not properly address the effects the Project could have on these various recreational activities. But that is not the only problem with this study. The Applicant’s Resource Study Plan is also flawed because it relies on out-of-date information on the use of the HiLine. This flaw is reflected in the following statement: Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. This statement is wrong. Relying on stale information, the report ignores recent important recreational developments involving the railroad. The astro-tourism programs and the new Railsto-Trails program has led to increased use of the HiLine Branch three to four times a week, with additional trains programed for 2023. The Project’s flawed Resource Study Plan also omits any discussion of another one of the Railway’s recreational initiatives. The NNRy is in the process of developing an electric railbike program to use the HiLine Branch. This program will rent electricassisted railbikes to the public to operate on the HiLine branch. The HiLine branch was chosen for this program because of its views and remoteness. A pilot program is being developed for 2022. It is anticipated that the program will be a success and that the program will expand in 2023 to daily operations on the HiLine branch. Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use and Experience Study The Applicant did not conduct the NNRy Visitor Use and Experience Study. The Applicant decided that due to the lack of concurrence on the existing survey instrument and the schedule for availability of photo simulations, they would did not implement the NNRy visitor survey. Because of that decision, the DLA provides no details on visitor use and experiences of NNRy passengers on the HiLine who currently pass through the proposed Project boundary on NNRy excursions. Similarly, the DLA provides little information on how Project construction activities would impact visitor experience as well as train operations. The Applicant only acknowledges in the DLA that “potential effects on the experiences of passengers on NNR HiLine train rides may occur due to construction and operation of the Project, including potential effects on dark skies from Project lighting...The Project also has the potential to modify the landscape and scenery visible from the NNRy train rides on the HiLine.” This statement is highly misleading. At the very least, it does not address NNRy’s reopening of the Ely to McGill route on the Mainline that is in the initial stages of development, which would also be impacted by the proposed Project.

The Applicant claims that the effects of potentially modified scenery were identified through the Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study. But that study is seriously flawed. It was conducted in such a way that the Project facilities were “imperceivable” due to their distance from the study’s key observation points (KOPs). As previously discussed, the Applicant performed no photo simulation of what the Project facilities, tunnel portal, substation, access route, and transmissions lines would look like as the train passes through the Project Boundary. The Applicant has recently indicated to the BLM that they would be adjusting the project proposal to access the upper reservoir location from the Steptoe Valley side (J. Bybee, BLM Ely District, personal communication, April 29, 2022), which is where NNRy’s HiLine and Main Line are located. This would entail building an access road that crosses NNRy tracks and includes a series of switchbacks across the face of the mountain that would likely be visible to the NNRy passengers. Construction of this access road could also interfere with the railroad’s Dark Skies programing if nighttime construction occurs and requires lighting. A major point that the Applicant has also not addressed is the disposal of waste rock generated from the Project that could result in additional visual impacts for NNRy passengers. Every cubic unit of rock that is removed from the Projects tunnels and generating station will create 1.5 to 2 cubic units of waste rock. The DLA does not provide details on where the waste rock resulting from tunnelling activities would be stored and if the storage area would be visible from the HiLine and Main Line. While the DLA discloses the number of Star Trains and the number of Sunset, Stars, and Champagne Trains NNR operated in 2021 (18 and 35 respectively), the total number of passengers on these trains is not set out. No information is provided on other trains operated on the HiLine, such as the Valley Vista Train. The Applicant states that they plan to use information from their Recreation Resource Study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the Project, but this information was not collected. This information is essential in determining the impacts of Project construction and operation on the economic contributions provided by NNRy tourism to the city of Ely and White Pine County. As the main tourism attraction in the city of Ely, the disruptions to operating trains along the HiLine over the 6-year expected Project construction phase and the long-term changes to visitor experiences on those tracks could lead to major economic impacts to the local area. In a recent proposal for funding to expand astro-tourism along the HiLine, NNR estimates the 2021 contribution of the Star Train and Sunset, Stars, & Champagne Train as follows: “In 2021 we will operate 47 astro-tourism trains from mid-May to mid-September that will carry approximately 2,700 passengers. Since these trains operate in the late evening, 100% of these passengers will stay overnight in Ely generating over 1,300 room nights in our community. The estimated economic impact of our astro-tourism trains to the community is estimated currently at $724,680 annually. The success of these trains led to the creation of two full time positions here at the railroad. (NNR 2021)” Even this estimate does not take into consideration the planned reopening of the Mainline, which will afford passengers extended day trips from Ely to McGill, a historic community that is undergoing major renovations to increase tourism. While the Applicant conducted a socioeconomic analysis of the Project’s impacts on the local economy, the economic effects on tourism resulting from disrupting NNRy operations and visitor experiences was not included in the study. Socioeconomic Impact Study While the Applicant included the results of a Socioeconomic Study in the DLA, this study does not provide any details on the economic contribution of tourism related to NNRy trains, which is essential in
6

assessing both short-term impacts (during the 6-year construction period) and long-term impacts (during Project operation) that the Project would have on NNRy economic contributions to the local economy. As a result, the DLA does not provide information needed to evaluate the impacts of the proposed Project on visitor numbers and experiences on NNRy train rides or the effects of the Project on shortterm and long-term economic contributions stemming from NNRy operations. The NNRy has concerns about the development of the White Pine Pump Storage project that have not been addressed by the developer of the project. The NNRy is located in Ely Nevada in White Pine County. Ely is a remote, rural incorporated city that is the county seat. Its remoteness is illustrated by a Nevada Department of Transportation highway warning sign heading west out of Ely that states, “Next Gas 164 miles.” The nearest cities located to Ely are equally distant: Las Vegas, Nevada and Salt Lake City, Utah, are both 240 miles away. Ely is not located on an interstate highway, nor does it have any scheduled air service. The NNRy has been operating tourist trains in this remote location for the past thirty-five years. During that time, the railroad has attracted visitors from around the world and across the country. Approximately a half million tourists have visited the railroad, and of those, over a third of a million have ridden the train. The economic impact of tourism attributed to the railroad in White Pine County is estimated to be $144,700,000. This number was calculated using Travel Nevada’s tourist spending research. Travel Nevada is the State of Nevada’s statewide tourism authority. The reason that tourists make the (minimum) four-hour drive to Ely to visit the Railway is its distinctiveness. The railroad is a time capsule; it’s commonly been said that ‘it appears that the workers went to lunch and never came back’. And for the most part that is true, the railroad shut down rather suddenly in 1983. There had been other shutdowns of the railroad in the past and some of the railroad’s workers thought that it would reopen again, leaving their work clothes in their locker. Regrettably, this time the railroad shutdown for good. The development of the Project has many unknowns. One of the biggest unknowns is the impact of the Project on the NNRy’s visitation. The NNRy is self-funded. The majority of our revenue comes from our tourist excursion trains. People travel from hundreds -- if not thousands of miles -- to experience this historic railroad. The railroad has been featured in the Washington Post, the New York Times, VIA Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Travel + Leisure, Travel Pulse, Trailer Life, and Conde Nast Traveler in Spain. The railroad’s astro-tourism trains have been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, as well as in the CBS This Morning series American Wonders series. We have appeared in four episodes of Pawn Stars, seven episodes of American Restoration, and an episode of the Big Bang Theory. A common theme in all this publicity is the unspoiled vistas, dark skies and the preserved history of the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. This common theme has allowed the NNRy to grow economically. In the past thirty-five years we have gone from four employees to twenty-two employees with an annual payroll of over $1,000,000 annually. Last year, 2021 was the largest year the NNRy has ever experienced in visitation and revenue. A Socioeconomic Study needs to be completed to measure the impacts of the possible loss of the attributes that cause people to travel to this remote corner of rural Nevada. Bluntly, our concern is that the Project’s adverse impacts will degrade our visitor experience. The ramifications of a degraded visitor experience could lead to decreased visitation. The consequence of a drop in visitation would lead to a reduction of income for the NNRy, which in turn would lead to employee layoffs. In short, a degraded
7

Filed Date: 05/18/2022
visitor experience could be the start of a cascading event that would undermine the thirty-five years of hard work and effort to preserve the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. Study on the Impact of the Current Megadrought on the Reliability of the Proposed Project The purpose of the Project is to serve as a energy storage ‘battery’ that will release its energy potential during periods of peak power demand. The proposed energy storage relies on water flowing from the upper to the lower reservoir to create the electricity to feed into the grid during peak power demand periods. The Applicants propose to build their Project in the high desert of rural Nevada in Steptoe Valley. The Steptoe Valley aquifers that are proposed as the pumping site(s) are replenished by run-off from northsouth running mountains on both sides of the aquifer site(s). Years ago, the aquifers were shallow, but healthy. Circumstantial evidence suggests that is no longer the case. Long term residents of the area are observing formerly vigorous groves of trees are now dying. There are news stories almost daily describing the severe impact of the drought on Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Based on this anecdotal evidence, it is reasonable to conclude that the level of the aquifers in Steptoe Valley are also receding because of the drought in the West and global warming. A recent study has pointed out that an exceptionally dry year in 2021 pushed the 22-year-long drought being experienced in the western United State to the top of the record books. The searing “megadrought” that has gripped the southwest U.S. for more than two decades is the driest 22-year period in at least 1,200 years. The region hasn’t seen a more severe drought since the start of the scientific record around the year 800, according to newly published research.1 A shortage of water locally will have calamitous effort on the community. But whether the existing aquifers can support the water needs of both the local community and the proposed Project is completely unknown. Summary The Nevada Northern Railway Foundation is concerned about the various significant adverse impacts the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project P-14851 will have on the Railway’s operations and its future, as well as the adverse impacts of the Project on the economic health of the local community. These concerns need to be addressed fully and properly in the studies presented. As discussed more fully above, the Project reports do not include the fulsome discussion that is required. Sincerely,
Mark S. Bassett President Nevada Northern Railway Foundation

The NPS has authority to consult with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and applicants concerning a project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (Pub Law 88-29), and the NPS Organic Act (39 Stat. 535). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to relicensing incorporate the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. Investigating opportunities to improve the recreation experience is consistent with NPS policy and FERC guidelines to identify potential future recreation needs. A. NPS COMMENTS ON THE PAD The NPS submits the following comments on the PAD for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project, which will be further referred to as the “Project.” 1. Nevada Northern Railway On page 1 of the PAD, the Applicant acknowledges that portions of the Project “would intersect with the routing of portions of the track for the existing NNR, a historic passenger railroad and National Historic Landmark” and that the “Applicant intends to work with the NNR during the FERC licensing process to consider track rerouting to accommodate Project construction”. The 1

Filed Date: 05/18/2022 11/02/2020
intent to reroute a portion of the NNR track to accommodate the proposed Project is reiterated on pages 70 and 78 of the PAD. While the Applicant acknowledges that the NNR National Historic Landmark is acclaimed as “the best-preserved and most original example of an American railroad facility” that “offers passenger trail rides pulled by century-old steam engines,” there is no mention in the PAD on how rerouting a portion of the track would impact NNR visitor use and experiences. Furthermore, the PAD does not identify what section of the track would be rerouted, the length of track section that would need to be rerouted, and how long use of the track would be disrupted during Project construction and track re-routing. The only place in the PAD where the affected section of track is mentioned (but not identified as the affected track) is on page 70, where it states that “[a] few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on the hi-line toward McGill.” Even this statement is misleading as the NNR operates trains more frequently on the HiLine Branch, which includes the section of track that runs through the proposed Project boundary. According to the NNR President, even with restrictions placed due to Corona virus, trains were operated on the HiLine Branch an average of three times a week in 2020, and they have plans to operate four trains per week in 2021. In addition, “special trains” are also operated on the HiLine Branch, including the extremely popular “Star Train” that has already been booked for the 2021 season. NPS rangers from Great Basin National Park participate on these trains, working with the NNR to assist visitors on viewing the night sky. In addition to the HiLine Branch, a second set of train tracks, the Mainline (lower track) also runs through the proposed Project boundary. Although no trains are operated on this track, the NNR has been considering reopening the track and offering train rides to McGill and has recently written a grant to do so (pers. commun. Mark Basset, NNR President). To better understand potential Project impacts to the important recreation opportunities offered by NNR, the NPS requests that the Applicant provide the following information: A. The location and length of track that would be rerouted. B. The estimated time that affected section of track would be closed to train rides due to project construction and re-routing. C. The impact to the viewshed from the train (i.e., passengers’ perspective) due to re-routing the track. D. Impacts on the night-sky viewing from Star Trains due to rerouting the tracks. Currently, the star-gazing platform is within the vicinity of the proposed Project boundary. 2. Land Ownership in the Proposed Project Boundary In Section 5.1.2.1 on page 15 of the PAD, it states that, with exception of some small, privatelyowned parcels, lands within the proposed project boundary are lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This observation is incorrect. In January 1988, the railway rightof-way (ROW) land was transferred out of federal ownership by a congressional action under Interim Conveyance No. 002 to the City of Ely. A copy of the interim conveyance is attached to these comments. Re-routing the Hi-Line would involve taking the railway ROW out of City ownership and applying for a ROW on BLM-administered lands, which would trigger the BLM requesting additional studies. The NPS requests that the Applicant describes, in detail, the process by which they would reroute the HiLine Branch, the time it would take to complete the
2

re-route (which includes obtaining a ROW from the BLM), and how the City of Ely-owned lands that remain in the original ROW would be addressed/managed. 3. Potential Resource Effects and List of Studies In Table 6.0-1 Resource Areas, Potential Resource Effects, and Potential Studies (page 89 of the PAD), the Applicants do not mention the potential effects of the Project on NNR visitor use and experiences. It only states that the construction of the Project “may impact recreation in the immediate vicinity.” No studies are proposed to examine visitor use on the HiLine Branch, which is necessary to determine impact to such use and experiences. Similarly, in Table 6.0-1 for potential socioeconomic effects, the PAD only states that Project construction activities “have the potential to temporarily disrupt or modify local infrastructure, patterns, or routines”. It does not mention either the short-term or long-term effects of re-routing the HiLine Branch and proposes no studies to examine such effects. Finally, while the Applicant proposes an Aesthetic and Visual Resources Study that will include “visual simulations modeling what the Project will look like postconstruction,” the proposed study does not include examining the visual impacts from the perspective of NNR passengers on the HiLine Branch, which is necessary to determine aesthetic impacts to the HiLine Branch viewshed, which would affect visitor experiences. Due to the limitations identified in the identified potential resource effects and proposed studies, the NPS is submitting two study requests: 1) NNR Visitor Uses and Experiences and 2) NNR Socioeconomic Study. The NPS is also requesting that the Applicant modify their draft Aesthetic and Visual Resources Study to include perspectives from NNR passengers on the HiLine Branch. 4. Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan A Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan is included in the PAD. The NPS commends the applicant for proposing such a study, which would assist in determining aesthetic impacts related to the Project. The NPS requests that the study incorporates in its list of “key viewing locations” the view of the proposed Project from the HiLine Branch. The Visual and Aesthetic Study should capture the train-rider’s perspective from the existing HiLine Branch route, as well as the location of where the rail re-routing would occur. This includes both the view of the Project, as well as other views from the train that would be changed due to the re-route. During the Key Observation Point (KOP) development process, the time of day should be considered as well as the location of KOPs along the HiLine Branch. Train rides are offered to visitors at different times of the day, including evening/sunset rides and nighttime/star gazing rides, as well as during the day. The timing of the train ride alters the aesthetic character of the landscape as seen by visitors from the HiLine Branch and should thus be considered. Finally, the Draft Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study states that the Applicant “will determine the degree of impact and whether the impact is adverse, beneficial, or neutral.” Since visitors on HiLine Branch train rides would be directly impacted by the changes in the landscape due to constructed Project features and re-routing of the track, they should be included in the impact analysis. Consequently, the KOP photo simulations should be incorporated into a visitor survey and included into the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study that the NPS is requesting below.

B. NPS STUDY REQUEST #1: NORTHERN NEVADA RAILWAY VISITOR USE AND EXPERIENCES STUDY The NPS recommends the following study that addresses each of the seven study criteria as required under 18 CFR §5.9. While the criteria under 18 CFR §5.9 are written specifically for the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) and the proposed Project was granted use of the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP), the NPS choses to use the more thorough ILP study request criteria to ensure that all aspects of the proposed studies are addressed. 1. Criteria 1: Study Description and Objectives (§5.9(b)(1))
Describe the goals and objectives of each study proposal and the information to be obtained.
This study will evaluate NNR visitor use and experiences. The purpose and objectives of the study are to (1) determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, (2) characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of railway that would be affected by the Project (3) estimate magnitude and duration of both short-term and long-term impacts on NNR visitor use and experiences, and (4) identify methods to avoid or mitigate potential impacts. 2. Criteria 2: Resource Management Goals (§5.9(b)(2)):
If applicable, explain the relevant resource management goals of the agencies or Indian tribes with jurisdiction over the resource to be studied.
The NPS has authority to consult with the FERC and applicants concerning a proposed project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR §§ 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (PL 88-29) and the NPS Organic Act (16 USC et seq.). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. It is in the public interest to analyze impacts and trade-offs, provide mitigation to these impacts and evaluate opportunities for recreation in the future. The FERC guidelines and the Federal Power Act also provide direction to give equal consideration to other non-hydropower resources including recreation. As federal agencies operating in the public interest, both the NPS and FERC are charged with making resource management decisions based on sound information about public needs and interests, including interests in recreation resources. 3. Criteria 3: Resource Agency Status of Requestor and Relevant Public Interest (§5.9(b)(3))
If the requester is not a resource agency, explain any relevant public interest considerations in regard to the proposed study.

The NPS is a resource agency. It is in the public’s interest to fully document recreation opportunities and potential for impacts during a FERC licensing effort. Existing and potential future recreation must be evaluated during the FERC licensing process (18 C.F.R. 4.51). 4. Criteria 4: Existing Information and Need for Additional Information (§5.9(b)(4))
Describe existing information concerning the subject of the study proposal and the need for additional information.
The PAD briefly describes the NNR National Historic Landmark, it’s history, and the fact that it offers a number of rides daily to the public that depart from the depot. The PAD also mentions that “a portion of the NNR currently runs through the Project’s lower reservoir as currently configured,” and “with construction of the Project, portions of the track would require relocation.” No information is provided on how rerouting the tracks would affect NNR visitor use and experiences. The proposed study is designed to obtain this missing and vital information necessary to determine Project effects on recreation in the Project area and to draft possible mitigation measures to reduce or avoid such impacts. 5. Criteria 5: Nexus to Project (§5.9(b)(5))
Explain any nexus between project operations and effects (direct, indirect, and/or cumulative) on the resource to be studied, and how the study results would inform the development of license requirements
A clear nexus exists between the Project and the NNR visitor use and experiences. The Project would require rerouting portions of the HiLine Branch, which is currently used to take visitors on historic and scenic train rides. This includes the “Star Train,” which is operated with NPS staff onboard to assist in star gazing. A second track, the Mainline/lower track would also be directly affected as it also runs through the proposed Project boundary. While the Mainline is not currently in use, the NNR is working on plans to open that route to train rides. The proposed study is necessary to determine the extent and duration of Project impacts to current and future NNR visitor use and experiences. 6. Criteria 6: Study Methodology (§5.9(b)(6))
Explain how any proposed study methodology (including any preferred data collection and analysis techniques, or objectively quantified information, and a schedule including appropriate field seasons(s) and the duration) is consistent with generally accepted practice in the scientific community or, as appropriate, considers relevant tribal values and knowledge.
An assessment of recreation use and experiences potentially impacted by a proposed project is consistent with generally accepted practices employed during hydroelectric licensing proceedings.

a. Determine Visitor Use Numbers and Characteristics on the Potentially Affected Train Rides Determine the total number of visitors who take train rides. Identify which train rides would be affected by the rerouted tracks and determine the percent of total visitor use numbers that would be affected by the proposed Project (i.e., those who take trips on the HiLine Branch). Work with the NNR to obtain visitor use data, as well as details on any plans on expanding number of trips on the HiLine Branch, as well as the potential for starting up train rides on the Mainline/lower track. Use this information to estimate future use. Summarize demographic characteristics of train riders on the HiLine Branch. Some of this information may be obtained from NNR’s visitor data. A visitor use survey may also need to be conducted to collect additional information on visitor demographics.
b. Characterize Visitor Experiences on the Potentially Affected Train Rides Quantify visitor perceptions relative to Hi-Line Branch train rides. Collect information on visitor characteristics, attitudes, and preferences for the train rides. Conduct visitor use surveys of current visitors to determine how they chose a HiLine Branch train ride and what they value about their trip. Visitors on both regular and specialty trains should be surveyed and the study length should be a full year, which is necessary to capture special train rides that are operated different times of year (e.g., Star Train, Haunted Ghost Train, Santa’s Reindeer Flyer, Fire and Ice Fireworks Train, etc.). The survey should include the KOP photo simulations that the Applicant develops under its proposed Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study to capture visitor’s perceptions of how Project features and re-routing the HiLine Branch would affect the visual characteristics of their trip. 7. Criteria 7: Level of Effort and Cost (§5.9(b)(7)
Describe considerations of level of effort and cost, as applicable, and why any proposed alternative studies would not be sufficient to meet the stated Information needs.
The PAD did not propose any studies that would provide data on proposed Project impacts to NNR visitor use and experiences. The proposed study would include gathering user data from the NNR and supplementing that data with visitor use surveys. The cost would be contingent on the billing rate arrangement with the Applicants' consultants (rate is not known). C. NPS STUDY REQUEST #2: NORTHERN NEVADA RAILWAY SOCIOECONOMIC STUDY 1. Criteria 1: Study Description and Objectives (§5.9(b)(1))
Describe the goals and objectives of each study proposal and the information to be obtained:
This study will evaluate the economic contributions NNR visitor use has on the local economy, specifically the City of Ely and White Pine County. The purpose and objectives of this study are 6

Filed Date: 05/18/2022 11/02/2020
to 1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR, 2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute, and 3) evaluate any long-term socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. 2. Criteria 2: Resource Management Goals (§5.9(b)(2)):
If applicable, explain the relevant resource management goals of the agencies or Indian tribes with jurisdiction over the resource to be studied.
The NPS has authority to consult with the FERC and applicants concerning a proposed project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR §§ 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (PL 88-29) and the NPS Organic Act (16 USC et seq.). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. It is in the public interest to analyze impacts and trade-offs, provide mitigation to these impacts and evaluate opportunities for recreation in the future. The FERC guidelines and the Federal Power Act also provide direction to give equal consideration to other non-hydropower resources including recreation. As federal agencies operating in the public interest, both the NPS and FERC are charged with making resource management decisions based on sound information about public needs and interests, including interests in recreation resources. 3. Criteria 3: Resource Agency Status of Requestor and Relevant Public Interest (§5.9(b)(3))
If the requester is not a resource agency, explain any relevant public interest considerations in regard to the proposed study.
The NPS is a resource agency. It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to re-licensing recognize the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands, while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. Therefore, evaluating recreation-related economic impacts is consistent with NPS policy and FERC guidelines. 4. Criteria 4: Existing Information and Need for Additional Information (§5.9(b)(4))
Describe existing information concerning the subject of the study proposal and the need for additional information.
The PAD briefly describes the socioeconomic conditions in White Pine County in Section 5.11 of the PAD (pp. 82-83). This includes statistics on population, race and ethnicity, income and poverty, and employment. The PAD does not discuss the economic contribution of NNR to the local community and county, which would be disrupted by the Project, and no economic studies 7

are proposed. The NNR is known to generate economic benefits for the City of Ely and White Pine County. According to The Nevada Independent newspaper article,1 dated October 27, 2019, it is estimated that 80 percent of the Railway’s guests stay overnight, and the economic effect of the NNR’s excursions, including the Star Train, is likely $2.5 million annually when factoring in overnight stays. More details are needed on the economic contribution of the Railway, which is necessary to determine the economic impact of the Project on the local economy. 5. Criteria 5: Nexus to Project (§5.9(b)(5))
Explain any nexus between project operations and effects (direct, indirect, and/or cumulative) on the resource to be studied, and how the study results would inform the development of license requirements
A clear nexus exists between the Project and the local economic contributions of NNR visitors. The Project would require shutting down a percentage of train rides during Project construction and track re-routing, which would reduce economic contributions from NNR visitors to the City of Ely and White Pine County. In addition to short-term impacts from shutting down the HiLine Branch during rerouting, long-term affects could occur due to changing the nature of the train experience. There is also the potential to affect the expanding train rides, including opening the Mainline/lower track, which also runs through the proposed Project boundaries. 6. Criteria 6: Study Methodology (§5.9(b)(6))
Explain how any proposed study methodology (including any preferred data collection and analysis techniques, or objectively quantified information, and a schedule including appropriate field seasons(s) and the duration) is consistent with generally accepted practice in the scientific community or, as appropriate, considers relevant tribal values and knowledge.
Assessing economic impacts from potential loss of recreation use due to project construction and operation is consistent with generally accepted practices employed during hydroelectric licensing proceedings. The proposed study would include using data gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and Experiences Study, local resources such as White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Department, and existing reports such as the White Pine County, Nevada 2011 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. Stakeholders should be involved in assessing the parameters of the overall study. Determining local economic contributions of the NNR and potential impacts from the proposed Project on such contributions would involve the following steps. 1
Calculating the economic value and socioeconomic benefits currently supported by the NNR would involve using visitor use numbers gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and

Experiences Study. This data can be used to determine visitor expenditures during their time in White Pine County and calculating regional economic benefits using regional economics models and data (see below).
Determining the short-term economic effects of closing the HiLine Branch due to rerouting the tracks would require estimating the duration of the closure and calculating the reduction in train rides and user numbers.
Predicting long-term socioeconomic effects from rerouting the tracks would involve determining if changes in visitor experiences (data gathered from NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study) would lead to reduced visitation. It would also involve predicting if potential future train ride opportunities on the Mainline/lower tracks would be reduced due to Project construction and operation.
Regional economic benefits generated by NNR visitor use should be based on regional economic models and data, specifically, an input-output (I-O) model. I-O models use information on sales and expenditures by industry, including the shares of expenditures paid to in-region businesses, to estimate economic multipliers. The multipliers can be used to estimate the total economic impact per dollar of direct output change for any industry. The ratio of the total economic activity to the direct impact is called a “multiplier,” which can be developed for all measures of regional economic activity. For the requested socioeconomic study, the estimation of regional economic impacts attributable to the Project would require the use of I-O software and data, or data alone, readily available from various commercial sources. One of the most commonly used is IMPLAN (IMpact Analysis for PLANning), which consists of two components: the software and the database. The software performs the necessary calculations, using study area data, to create regional I-O models. The databases, which are available at the state, county, and zip code area levels, provide the base economic information needed to create regional IMPLAN models. IMPLAN models incorporate the mathematical formulae needed to conduct economic impact analyses for a broad range of projects and policies in the study areas for which the models have been developed. I-O multiplier data at the county level can also be purchased from the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis through its Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS) program. RIMS provides county-level multipliers to estimate how much a one-time or sustained change in economic activity in a particular region will affect industries located in the region. 8. Criteria 7: Level of Effort and Cost (§5.9(b)(7)
Describe considerations of level of effort and cost, as applicable, and why any proposed alternative studies would not be sufficient to meet the stated Information needs.
The PAD did not propose any socioeconomic studies. The proposed study would include using data gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and Experiences Study and the purchase of I-O software and data. The total cost would be contingent on the billing rate arrangement with the Applicants' consultants (rate is not known).

White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLC 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111
3/09/2021
Dear Stakeholders: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine), is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The Project will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water for construction of the Project and to initially fill the reservoir system will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. Following construction, the make-up water for evaporative loss will come from groundwater drawn under a permit held by White Pine acquired from White Pine County. White Pine filed a Notice of Intent to File License Application, Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Request to Use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States, on May 15, 2020. FERC approved the use of the TLP on July 13, 2020. A Joint Meeting and site tour were held on September 1, 2020 to discuss the Project. Comments on the PAD and/or study requests were requested by October 31, 2020. White Pine received 11 comment and/or study request letters from interested agencies or stakeholders. After review of the study requests and comments, White Pine is proposing the following studies: •
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study;
•
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Study;
•
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Wildlife Species Assessment;
•
Recreation Resources Study;
•
Special-Status Plants and Noxious Weeds Study;
•
Cultural Resources Study; and
•
Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study.
White Pine plans to file a Draft License Application (DLA) in December 2021 incorporating the results of the proposed studies. To meet this milestone, White Pine intends to conduct the studies listed above in 2021. White Pine requests stakeholders provide via email an indication of concurrence with the methodologies or additional comments by March 24, 2021.

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study Plan March 2, 2021
DRAFT FOR STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles no rtheast of t he C ity of E ly. T he P roject i s a 1, 000 m egawatt, c losed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The P roject will be located e ntirely o ff-stream, meaning n either t he up per nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White Pine has initiated a l icensing pr ocess f or t he P roject w ith t he F ederal E nergy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource s tudies t hat w ill i nform F ERC’s env ironmental and de velopmental ana lyses and dec ision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Greater Sage-Grouse Lek and Habitat Study assessment for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project may have the potential to affect greater sagegrouse. These effects may be direct (e.g., result of ground-disturbing activities) or indirect (e.g., due to noise or addition of tall structures). The goal of this study is to assess the direct and indirect effects the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The study will include: • • • •
Noise impact analysis; Greater sage-grouse lek monitoring; Conservation Credit System analysis; and Proximity analysis of the Project to nearby greater sage-grouse leks.
The overall goal of this study is to conduct a fine-scale outcome-based baseline assessment of greater sage-grouse hab itat and l ek status nearby an d w ithin t he s tudy ar ea. T he study will also assess potential direct and indirect impacts the Project may have on greater sage-grouse habitat.

3.0 Summary of Existing Information A full description of existing i nformation can be f ound i n the White Pine Pre-Application Document (PAD). For t he PAD, e xisting ge ospatial i nformation from the U .S. F ish a nd W ildlife S ervice and Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) was reviewed to identify and describe greater sage-grouse habitat within the study area, as well as the proximity of the study area to greater sage-grouse leks. These datasets indicate that development of the Project could result in potential impacts to greater sage-grouse and greater sage-grouse habitat. As noted in the PAD, White Pine’s review of greater sage-grouse habitat and consultation with NDOW suggests that habitat in the vicinity of the Project is primarily classified as Priority habitat management area (PHMA) and General habitat management area (GHMA) by the Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Program. Other habitat management areas (OHMA) also exist in the vicinity of the Project. There are three known greater sage-grouse lek sites in the vicinity of the Project area shown in Table 1 below.

Study Methods
White Pine proposes to conduct the following four tasks: Noise Impact Analysis, Greater-Sage Grouse lek m onitoring, Conservation C redit System A nalysis and habitat suitability, and a l ek pr oximity analysis.
Task 1 – Noise Impact Analysis A noise impact study will be completed to compare pre-Project noise levels to anticipated noise levels during construction of the Project. The noise impact study will be done in accordance with Appendix M: N oise P rotocol of th e Nevada a nd N ortheastern C alifornia G reater S age-Grouse R ecord of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (Nevada Regional Bureau of Land Management [BLM] 2015). The Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment stipulates that noise as a result of the Project will not increase above 10 decibels (dB) above ambient noise levels during lekking. White Pine w ill c oordinate w ith t he BLM to determine t he a nticipated noi se l evels as a r esult of construction, operations, and m aintenance of the Project and will incorporate the anticipated noise Page 2

levels into the noise model. Locations for noise monitors will also be discussed with the BLM prior to the field work. Field work to collect noise measurements will follow Appendix M: Noise Protocol of the Nevada and Northeastern C alifornia G reater Sage-Grouse Record of D ecision and Approved R esource Management P lan Amendment (BLM 2015). Measurements w ill be c ollected at m ultiple l ocations between each noise source and the lekking areas, during times when noise exposure w ould most likely affect greater sage-grouse. Where quiet conditions exist, empirical sampling and ambient noise modeling will be used to establish baseline ambient values. Project-related noise l evels w ill be calculated with a noise model and will be compared to the measured noise levels. The noise analysis results will be reported in a draft and final noise analysis report.
Task 2 – Greater Sage-grouse Lek Monitoring White Pine will complete sage-grouse lek monitoring during the spring of 2021 for three leks that are located within the vicinity of the Project. Field biologists will follow the NDOW Sage-Grouse Lek Count Protocol and will conduct counts at each lek four times during breeding season, between March 1 and May 15, 2021. During each lek count, if birds are present, biologists will collect a minimum of three counts at 15-minute intervals. If no birds are observed, biologists will search the lekking areas on foot for sage-grouse sign. The results of the lek monitoring will be reported in a draft and final 2021 Greater Sage-Grouse Lek Monitoring Results report.
Task 3 – Conservation Credit System (CCS) Analysis and Habitat Suitability The Project is located on public and private lands in greater sage-grouse habitat and is, therefore, required to enroll in the credit system established by the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (NRS 232.162). The CCS analyzes the direct and indirect adverse impacts that a development project could have on greater sage-grouse habitat. The results of this analysis will be used to determine both the debits incurred by the Project, and potential credits available to offset the debits. During t he f ield dat a c ollection, par ameters w ill a lso be c ollected t o c haracterize ha bitat s uitability within the direct footprint of the project area. These parameters are used to determine the site-scale habitat suitability for breeding, l ate-brood rearing, and winter habitat, and are defined in the BLM’s Sage-grouse Habitat A ssessment F ramework (Stiver et al 2 015). Results of t he hab itat s uitability assessment will be presented in a technical memo.
Debit Project Analysis White Pine will coordinate with the State of Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) to complete a deb it evaluation for the Project. The debi t project will begin by completing the D ebit Project Review Form and submitting it to the SETT for use throughout the life of the debit project. The CCS User’s Guide will be followed to complete the desktop analysis of the Habitat Quantification Tool (HQT) using a geographic information system (GIS). These steps include defining a debit project area based upon t he pr oposed Project surface di sturbance, i dentifying ex isting ant hropogenic disturbances, delineating map units, and generating transect locations for the field survey that will be submitted to the SETT for review. The SETT will provide the number and location of transects that will need to be completed to get an accurate site scale s core for the Debit Project Calculator. T ransects will consist of 50 meter (m) transects upon which biologists will collect data for vegetation coverage and diversity using the line intercept method and Daubenmire plots. Field work will occur during the 2021 growing season, from Page 3

approximately April 15 to July 15, 2021, depending on weather and ground conditions. The latest CCS User’s Guide will be followed for collecting field data. Transect locations will be accessed by driving as close as possible to the survey transects using existing roads and t hen hiking on f oot to survey locations to avoid sagebrush disturbance. Field data will be collected using iPads with submeter GPS receivers to record data on digital versions of the CCS field forms. Following the completion of field work, the transect data will be entered into the Debit Project Calculator to determine the number of debits that the Project is estimated to incur. The estimated debits that are a result of this analysis will be valid for 5 years. The field data and debit calculator will be packaged for submittal to the SETT by finalizing transect datasheets, transect photographs, map unit datasheets, and other applicable forms and shapefiles.
Credit Project Estimate White Pine will c oordinate w ith t he SETT t o determine if t here ar e any potential c redit pr oject opportunities within the vicinity of the Project. If i t i s determined that a c redit project opportunity is available, a c redit project analysis will be i nitiated and conducted following the CCS U ser’s Guide. Credits may also be available through the open marketplace to offset the debits the Project may incur.
Task 4 – Lek Proximity Analysis A proximity analysis for three greater sage-grouse leks near the Project will be completed with GIS to model t he l ine of s ight f rom t he n earest s age-grouse l ek t owards t he Project. T he Nevada a nd Northeastern C alifornia G reater Sage-Grouse Record of D ecision and Approved R esource Management Plan Amendment (BLM 2015) stipulates that no new surface disturbance may occur within 3 m iles of a l ek within PHMA; however, this m ay be s ubject to change according to ground conditions, such as topographic features. The proximity analysis will model the line of sight and will incorporate surrounding ground conditions within the Project vicinity. Results of the proximity analysis will be delivered in a map set.
5.0 Schedule and Deliverables White Pine anticipates the schedule for Study completion as follows: Planning ................................................................................................ February – March 2021 Study Season ................................................................................................. March– July 2021 Study Report Preparation .......................................................................August – October 2021 A description of the methods and field investigation findings will be included in the Report. The Report will be incorporated into the Draft License Application.

APPENDIX C United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 333 Bush Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94104-2828 IN REPLY REFER TO:
Electronic Filing April 7, 2021 Brett Burgess White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLC 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 RE: National Park Service comments on the proposed Study Plans for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P- 14851) Dear Mr. Burgess: The NPS received the proposed Study Plans for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P14851) (Project) and have prepared the following comments. We submitted comments on PreApplication Document (PAD) for the Project on October 30, 2020. In those comments, we requested that the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study presented in the PAD be expanded to include the Norther Nevada Railway (NNR). We also made two requests for additional studies: 1) NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study and 2) NNR Socioeconomic Study. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study In response to the Pre-application Document (PAD), the NPS commended you for including a Visual and Aesthetic Study and requested that the study includes visual perspectives from passengers on the NNR HiLine Branch, which would be impacted by the proposed Project. While you included a reference to our request in your proposed Visual and Aesthetic Study (page 3), you did not provide any details on how you plan to accomplish this. Similarly, you mention on page 3 of the Recreation Resources Study Plan that you will “conduct a Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study to document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities, including both daytime and nighttime views from the existing NNR HiLine Branch and the currently proposed re-alignment locations of the HiLine Branch. Information from the visual and aesthetic study will be incorporated with NNR visitor use assessment findings.” However, it remains unclear how you will gather the views from the passengers on the NNR HiLine Branch.

While we thank you for agreeing to incorporate the view from the HiLine Branch in your Visual and Aesthetic Study and incorporate the findings it into the NNR visitor use assessment, it remains unclear on how you plan to gather data on the views from the passengers on the impacted section of railway. Since visitors on HiLine Branch train rides would be directly impacted by the changes in the landscape due to constructed Project features and re-routing of the track, they should be included in the impact analysis. In our PAD comments, we suggested that the Key Observation Point (KOP) photo simulations could be incorporated into the visitor survey, and we continue to believe that this may be one way that data can be collected on how the prosed Project will change the aesthetics of NNR train rides. We are open to other methods, as long as visitors’ perspectives of the potential landscape changes are captured, which is a direct Project impact. Recreation Resources Study We commend you for including a Recreation Resource Study in your proposed Study Plan, specifically the NNR Visitor Use Assessment, which is consistent with the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study that the NPS requested in response to the PAD. Your proposed study should address one of the stated purposes of the NPS’s requested study, which is to determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors. However, your proposed study would not sufficiently address the second purpose of NPS’s requested study, which is to characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be affected by the Project. Data on visitor experiences is more qualitative in nature and not easily captured using a survey instrument such as the one you propose. More in-depth data collection is necessary to qualify visitor experiences. This includes user interviews and focus groups discussions with NNR personnel and others involved in the train rides, such as NPS rangers involved in the Star Trains. Such discussions could help you redesign your survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would potentially be impacted by the proposed Project. Socioeconomic Study One study that is noticeably missing in your proposed Study Plan is a Socioeconomic Study. In our response to the PAD, the NPS requested that a NNR Socioeconomic Study be conducted to determine the Project’s economic impact on the local economy due to impacts on the operation and nature of NNR train rides. We identified the goals and objectives of the study as follows: This study will evaluate the economic contributions NNR visitor use has on the local economy, specifically the City of Ely and White Pine County. The purpose and objectives of this study are to 1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR, 2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute, and 3) evaluate any long-term socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. Project socioeconomic impacts were only briefly mentioned once in your proposed Study Plans, and that is on page 4 of the in the Recreation Resources Study Plan. There, you state that

information from the recreation study will be used “to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements.” You further state that “Socioeconomic analysis will be included in the license application.” However, there is no Socioeconomic Study in your proposed Study Plan. It thus remains unclear how the socioeconomic analysis will be conducted or if it would address the goals and objectives that we laid out in our socioeconomic study request. We request that you provide details on how you plan to “assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project.” That is, we would like the opportunity to review your Socioeconomic Study Plan, as well as why you seem to have rejected the NPS’s study request for a socioeconomic study. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to comment on your proposed Study Plans. If you have any further questions, please contact Barbara Rice at Barbara_Rice@nps.gov or Steve Bowes at Stephen_Bowes@nps.gov. Sincerely,

White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan May 25, 2021
1.0 Introduction White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine) is proposing the licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles no rtheast of t he C ity of E ly. T he P roject i s a 1, 000 m egawatt, c losed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits along with a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The P roject will be located e ntirely o ff-stream, meaning n either t he up per nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. White P ine has i nitiated a l icensing pr ocess f or t he P roject w ith t he F ederal E nergy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency with jurisdiction over non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. During this process, White Pine will engage stakeholders and implement a suite of resource s tudies t hat w ill i nform F ERC’s env ironmental and de velopmental ana lyses and dec ision regarding license issuance. This document presents White Pine’s proposed approach to the scoping and implementation of a Recreation Resources Study for the Project that will be provided to FERC to assist in the licensing analyses. White Pine anticipates filing a Draft License Application with FERC in December 2021.
2.0 Project Nexus and Study Goals Construction of t he P roject m ay hav e t he pot ential t o af fect r ecreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the vicinity of the Project through infrastructure development, increased noise, artificial lighting, traffic, or dust conditions and through potential interruption of service on and relocation of a segment of the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch in Steptoe Valley. The goal of this Recreation Resources Study is to document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis. The objectives of this study are to: • •
Prepare an inventory of existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including use estimates; and Analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) scenic train rides.
3.0 Summary of Existing Information There are currently no developed recreation facilities located in areas likely to be affected by Project construction. However, the NNR HiLine Branch traverses these areas; while not a recreation facility per se, the HiLine Branch accommodates recreational excursion train rides. More broadly, there are recreation and tourism opportunities in the Project vicinity. Page 1

Filed Date: 05/18/2022 White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Recreation Resources Study Plan
The Project is located in White Pine County, Nevada. Over ninety-five percent of the land in White Pine County is in federal ownership, largely administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (White Pine C ounty P lanning and L and Use Advisory C ommittee ( PLUAC)). The Primary F acility Corridors are within the Nevada Regional BLM Ely Field Office planning area and generally recreation use in the vicinity of the Project includes off-highway vehicle use, hunting, fishing, camping, crosscountry skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and cultural tourism. The recreation objective, as described i n the BLM’s Ely District Approved Management Plan, i s to provide a w ide variety of recreation opportunities to satisfy a growing demand by the public who seek open, undeveloped spaces that are characteristic of the area. Additionally, the BLM’s objective is to provide visitor information to familiarize people with recreational opportunities throughout the planning area and encourage minimum impact ethics for activities (BLM 2007). White Pine County offers recreational pursuits including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, along with off highway vehicles and motorcycles (PLUAC). White Pine County reports growing recreation interest in the region, including growth in new forms of recreation including mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowmobiling (PLUAC). White Pine County coordinated with land managing entities in the County to develop its recreation policies (PLUAC). Recreation policies are intended to protect and develop natural amenities for the public’s multiple use benefit (PLUAC). Policies include conserving ope n s pace; encouraging s ustainable r ecreational us e; promoting “ Eco-tour” an d responsible off highway vehicle businesses; encouraging the development of a community ski hill; encouraging d ispersed r ecreation oppor tunities on appropriate pu blic l ands; identifying, pr otecting, and developing public lands with value for concentrated recreational use, concentrating open space, park, and recreation facilities as close to resident populations as feasible; protecting and pr omoting the Lincoln Highway corridor as a cultural and recreational resource; protecting water quality and water rights f or r ecreational f ishing at i mportant w ater r esources; s upporting h unting and f ishing a s recreational resources and as multiple uses of public lands; endorsing the State’s programs to provide sustained levels of game animals; and encouraging the development of hiking and recreational trails on public lands (PLUAC). The Project is located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. Ely offers year-round outdoor recreation opp ortunities, i ncluding go lfing, s nowmobiling, and ar chery, as w ell as an an nual ha lfmarathon and multiple bike races (Ely Nevada undated). The Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot are located in Ely. NNR offers excursions to the public for a f ee (NNR undated). Excursions depart from the depot in Ely throughout the year. Most trips head southwest through two tunnels and up mountain grades through Robinson Canyon toward the Ruth Copper Mining District. A few trains each month head north out the Steptoe Valley on t he HiLine Branch toward McGill and the Primary Facility Corridors. The Town of McGill is located approximately 4.5 miles north of the Primary Facility Corridors. There are three parks in McGill, which include a warm spring-fed swimming pool and playfields. The McGill Drugstore Museum is also located in downtown McGill (McGill Nevada 2016).

Study Methods
A Recreation Resources Study will be conducted consisting of three tasks: 1. Perform an outdoor recreation facility and resource inventory within the study area; 2. Estimate the current n umber an d de mographic c haracteristics of N NR v isitors, a nd characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch; and 3. Reporting.
4.2.1
Recreation Facility Inventory and Use Estimate
White Pine will conduct an inventory to document the existing recreation facilities and resources within the study area. The inventory will include the following outdoor recreation facilities: • • • • • • • •
Timber Creek Group Picnic/Campground Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Bird Creek Campground East Creek Campground Cave Lake State Park Ward Mountain Campground/Picnic Site Berry Creek Campground Nevada Northern Railway Museum and Depot
White Pine will describe the type and location of each facility, the type of recreation provided (train excursions, camping, hunting, etc.), site capacity, estimated use levels (if available), and any future capital improvement or management plans for recreation facilities and resources potentially affected by the Project. Where possible, White Pine will obtain the information from available public records (e.g., satellite imagery, internet) or through telephone and email contact with recreation facility owners and operators. A field inventory will be conducted as needed to prepare a thorough inventory and reasonable use estimates.
4.2.2
Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment
The NNR visitor use assessment will collect visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age), perceptions, attitudes, and preferences. White Pine will communicate with NNR to obtain existing visitor data, including demographics, use estimates, and revenues. White Pine will supplement existing information through coordination with NNR to administer surveys on up to 10 representative NNR HiLine Branch excursions during 2021, with a goal of completing 100 surveys. Survey administrators will contact visitors during or immediately after their excursions. The s urvey instrument is des igned to elicit i nformation on v isitors’ characteristics, an d t heir perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the Nevada Northern Railway HiLine Branch excursions (Attachment 2). White P ine considered NPS’ Pool of K nown Questions i n developing t he s urvey instrument (NPS 2020).

A meeting summary is att ached. Please email any corrections or additions by August 23, 2021. During the meeting, NNR agreed to review the survey instrument and provide comments to HDR, hopefully by July 9, 2021. As of today, HDR has received no comments. Also during the meeting, NPS re-stated their interest in a survey component that would present visitors with before and after photosimulation of views from the Hi-Line of scenes potentially affected by Project features. As part of the Visual and Aesthetic Resources study, baseline photographs from key observation points have been collected. Photosimulation of proposed Project features is schedule to be completed later this year. Given the lack of concurrence on the existing survey instrument and the schedule for availability of photosimulations, rPlus proposes to forego implementation of an NNR visitor survey. rPlus will communicate with NNR and NPS when baseline photographs and project photosimulations are available to revisit the need for and purpose of a visitor survey.
In the meantime, rPlus would like to request any existingFiled information from05/18/2022 NNR and NPS that would support: Document Accession #: 20220518-5050 Date: An estimate the number of NNR visitors; Demographic characteristics of NNR visitors; and Information that characterizes visitor experiences on the Hi-Line Branch. Any information provided will be used to prepare the White Pine Pumped Storage Project Recreation Resources study report and to analyze the potential environmental effects of rPlus’ license application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for construction and operation of the Project.

United States Department of the Interior OFFICIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL SENT VIA EMAIL NO HARD COPY TO FOLLOW NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 333 Bush Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94104-2828 IN REPLY REFER TO:
1.A.2 (PW-PRR) May 17, 2022 Terry Turpin Director, Office of Energy Projects Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 Dear Director Turpin: The National Park Service (NPS) requests a study dispute resolution related to the licensing of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P-14851) pursuant to 18 CFR § 16.8(b)(6). The NPS previously requested White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) conduct two studies: Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) Visitor Use and Experience Study and NNR Socioeconomic Study (October 3, 2020). We also requested a modification to the Applicant’s Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, to include visual simulations from the viewpoint of train passengers within the Project boundaries. These visual simulations could also be used in the requested NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study. The Applicant has not completed an NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study, an NNR Socioeconomic Study or modified their Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study. The NPS maintains that the information provided by the Applicant is not sufficient to determine the proposed Project’s impacts to the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR). The NNR is an important recreational opportunity and tourist attraction within White Pine County and a major economic contributor to the City of Ely and its environs. A. BACKGROUND The Applicant, White Pine Waterpower, LLC, submitted a Pre-Application Document (PAD) in May 2020, as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing process for an original license for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The Applicant concurrently
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
submitted a request to FERC to use the Traditional Licensing Process. FERC approved the Applicant’s request by letter dated July 13, 2020. The White Pine Pumped Storage Project would be located eight miles north of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada, primarily on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Project would consist of a 1,000-megawatt off-stream, closed loop, pumped storage facility project involving construction of two above-ground reservoirs, an upper and lower reservoir, with approximately 2,100 feet of maximum gross head between them. The upper reservoir would be located in the Duck Creek Range and the lower reservoir would be located in the Steptoe Valley near Highway 93. Other proposed features include a vertical shaft, underground water conveyance tunnels, underground powerhouse with generator step-up transformer cavern, 28mile long 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission line, outdoor switchyard, access roads and tunnels, transmission cable tunnel, and other appurtenant facilities. The Project’s boundary would overlap two sets of railroad tracks owned by NNR, an historic passenger railroad and National Historic Landmark: the HiLine (upper track) and the Mainline (lower track). The NPS provided comments on the PAD in October 2020 1 and requested the Applicant conduct an NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study to: (1) determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors; (2) characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of railway that would be affected by the Project; (3) estimate magnitude and duration of both short-term and long-term impacts on NNR visitor use and experiences; and (4) identify methods to avoid or mitigate potential impacts. Related to an NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study, the NPS requested that the Applicant modify its proposed Visual and Aesthetic Study to capture the train-rider’s perspective of proposed Project facilities from the HiLine and incorporate photosimulations into a visitor survey as part of the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study. The purpose of this request is to collect data on how the proposed Project would change the aesthetics of NNR train rides which, in turn, would affect overall visitor experience. The NPS also requested the Applicant complete an NNR Socioeconomic Study to: (1) quantify the baseline economic values and socioeconomic benefits supported by the NNR; (2) evaluate the short-term socioeconomic effects of closing the HiLine Branch during Project construction and track reroute; and (3) evaluate any long-term socioeconomic effects due to Project operations and potential changes in visitor use on the HiLine, as well as potential future use of the Mainline/lower track. 0F
In March 2021, the Applicant submitted its proposed study plans to stakeholders for review. 2 The NPS provided comments to the Applicant on the Visual and Aesthetic Study Plan, 3 commending the applicant for agreeing to include the view from the HiLine in the study and incorporate the findings into the NNR visitor use assessment. The NPS also requested clarification on how the data would be gathered. On the proposed Recreation Resources Study Plan, the NPS supported the NNR Visitor Use Assessment, and found the proposed study to be insufficient to characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway directly affected by the Project. The study relied solely on a survey instrument but did not include user 1F

interviews or focus group discussions. The NPS noted the Applicant did not include an NNR Socioeconomic Study that we had requested. The Applicant filed a draft license application (DLA) for comment by March 18, 2021. The Applicant proposes to construct the Project within the right-of-way of the NNR’s HiLine and Mainline tracks, with the lower reservoir being situated between the two tracks. The tunnel portal, substation, access route, and transmissions lines would also be situated within the area of two tracks. The Applicant did not conduct an NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study that the NPS had requested and that was outlined in the Study Plan. The Applicant also did not conduct an NNR Socioeconomic Study. The NPS maintains that the DLA lacks sufficient information to evaluate Project impacts on visitor numbers and experiences on NNR train rides or the effects of the Project on short-term and long-term economic contributions stemming from NNR operations. B. EXISTING AND NEEDED INFORMATION The Project’s boundary would overlap NNR HiLine and the Mainline tracks. The NNR is considered the main tourist attraction for the city of Ely. The PAD describes the railway as “the best-preserved and most original example of an American railroad facility” that “offers passenger train rides pulled by century-old steam engines.” NNR operates passenger trains on the HiLine three times a week, including the “Sunset, Stars, & Champagne Train” that occurs twice a week from May through September, and the “Star Train” that occurs once a week from May through September. The Star Train is often booked a year in advance and is operated in partnership between NNR, Great Basin National Park (GRBA), and Great Basin National Heritage Area (GBNHA). A GRBA park ranger, nicknamed a “Dark Ranger,” boards each trip, bringing telescopes to help passengers view the constellations. The Star Train pulls out of the NNR trainyard in Ely, travels along the base of the mountains above Steptoe Valley and through the proposed Project boundary. The train then stops a short distance beyond the Project boundary, allowing the passengers a panoramic view of the sunset and an opportunity for the Dark Rangers to orient the passengers on the evening’s star gazing plans and answer questions. The train then heads back towards Ely, stopping at the “Star Platform” located roughly 3.3 miles from the Project boundary, where Dark Rangers set up telescopes for passengers to use. The Sunset, Stars, & Champagne Train follows a similar schedule but without Dark Rangers onboard. Additional train rides on the HiLine include the “Valley Vista” and “Trains-to-Trails.” The Train-to-Trails train carries passengers and their bikes through the Project boundary and lets them off with their bikes to head back downhill to Ely on the railway service road. The NNR Foundation was recently successful in receiving a $10,168,421 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) grant to restore the railroad’s Mainline from Ely through the proposed Project boundary to McGill. 4 3F
The Applicant states in the DLA that “potential effects on the experiences of passengers on NNR HiLine train rides may occur due to construction and operation of the Project, including potential effects on dark skies from Project lighting...The Project also has the potential to modify the landscape and scenery visible from the NNR train rides on the HiLine.” However, the DLA does not provide data on visitor use and experiences on the HiLine that travels through the 4

proposed Project boundary which is necessary to determine how Project construction and operation would impact visitor experience. The NPS suggests the Applicant also consider how the reopening of the Ely to McGill route on the Mainline would be impacted by the proposed Project. The DLA reports the effects of modifying the scenery along the HiLine based on the results of the Visual and Aesthetic Resource Study were “imperceivable.” However, this conclusion is due to the distance of the study’s key observation points (KOPs) to the Project facilities. The study did not include photosimulation of what the Project facilities would look like to visitors as the train passes through the Project boundary. In addition, the Applicant has recently indicated to the BLM that they would be adjusting the project proposal to access the upper reservoir location from the Steptoe Valley side (J. Bybee, BLM Ely District, personal communication, April 29, 2022), which is where NNR’s HiLine and Main Line are located. This would entail building an access road that crosses NNR tracks and include a series of switchbacks across the face of the mountain that would likely be visible to NNR passengers. Construction of the access road could also interfere with the railroad’s Dark Skies programing if nighttime construction occurs and requires lighting. The disposal of waste rock generated from the Project could result in additional visual impacts for NNR passengers. The DLA does not provide details on where the waste rock resulting from tunnelling activities would be stored and if the storage area would be visible from the HiLine and Main Line. While the DLA does disclose the number of Star Trains and Sunset, Stars, and Champagne Trains NNR operated in 2021 (18 and 35 respectively), the total number of passengers on these trains is unknown. No information is provided on other trains operated on the HiLine, such as the Valley Vista and Trains-to-Trails Trains. The Applicant states that they plan to use information from their Recreation Resource Study to assess the effects of the Project on the economic contributions of NNR tourism to the local economy. This assessment has not been completed. As the main tourism attraction in the city of Ely, 5 the disruptions to operating trains along the HiLine over the 6-year Project construction phase and the long-term changes to visitor experiences on those trains could lead to major economic impacts to the local area. In a recent proposal for funding to expand astro-tourism along the HiLine, NNR estimates the 2021 contribution of the Star Train and Sunset, Stars, & Champagne Train as follows: 4F
In 2021 we will operate 47 astro-tourism trains from mid-May to mid-September that will carry approximately 2,700 passengers. Since these trains operate in the late evening, 100% of these passengers will stay overnight in Ely generating over 1,300 room nights in our community. The estimated economic impact of our astro-tourism trains to the community is estimated currently at $724,680 annually. The success of these trains led to the creation of two full time positions here at the railroad. (NNR 2021) 6 5F

The above does not take into consideration the planned reopening of the Main Line that would provide passengers extended day trips from Ely to McGill, a historic community that is undergoing major renovations to increase tourism. While the Applicant conducted an in-depth socioeconomic analysis of the Project’s impacts on the local economy, the economic effects on tourism resulting from disrupting NNR operations and visitor experiences was not included in the study. C. APPLICANT’S PROPOSED AND IMPLEMENTED VISUAL AND AESTHETICS, RECREATION, AND SOCIOECONOMIC STUDIES 1. Proposed Study Plan On March 9, 2021, the Applicant submitted a Proposed Study Plan to stakeholders for review. The Proposed Study Plan included a Recreation Resources Study Plan, which was a new study not proposed in the PAD. The Applicant also provided a Visual Resources and Aesthetics Study Plan, which was a slightly revised version compared to the one provided in the PAD. The Applicant did not provide a Socioeconomic Study Plan. a. Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study The goal of the proposed study was to “document visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities and identify consistency with relevant agency visual and aesthetic resource goals, standards, guidelines, recommendations, objectives, and desired conditions and with other relevant guidance as determined through consultation.” Since the proposed Project would primarily be located on BLM-administered public lands, the study would follow the BLM’s Visual Resource Management (VRM) program to identify Project impacts on VRM classes identified during BLM’s Visual Resource Inventory (VRI) of the Project area. One of the objectives of the Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study was to conduct an aesthetics inventory of proposed Project facility locations, which included taking photographs from key viewing locations and developing photosimulation of proposed Project facilities. Reaching this objective would involve conducting a viewshed analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment based on location and height of proposed Project facilities. The KOPdevelopment process would determine where potential visual impact locations are considered for photosimulation. Photographs would be taken at each KOP to support assessment of the potential visual impact. In its study plan review, the NPS requested the study examine visual impacts from NNR passengers on the HiLine and incorporate the findings into the recreation study. The NPS also requested that the study choose KOPs within the Project Boundary where NNR passengers would have a direct view of Project facilities and include both daytime and nighttime views from the Star Platform. b. Recreation Resources Study The goal of the proposed study was to “document existing recreation facilities, resources, and use in the Project vicinity to determine baseline conditions for a Project impact analysis.” One 5

Filed Date: 05/18/2022
of the study’s objectives was to “analyze the potential effects of Project operation on existing recreation facilities, resources, and opportunities in the Project vicinity, including NNR scenic train rides.” These goals and objectives are in line with those of the NNR Visitor Use and Experience study request made by the NPS in response to the PAD. The Recreation Resources Study Plan would involve estimating the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors and characterizing their experiences on the HiLine. The Applicant would administer surveys on NNR HiLine excursions during 2021, with the survey instrument being designed to elicit information on visitors’ characteristics and their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the NNR HiLine excursions. In response to the Study Plan, the NPS expressed concerns that the proposed study would not sufficiently characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be directly affected by the Project due to relying solely on a survey instrument. More in-depth data collection was necessary to qualify visitor experiences. The NPS requested the Applicant conduct user interviews and focus group discussions with NNR personnel and others participating on the train, including NPS Dark Rangers participating on the Star Trains. These focus group discussions could be used to redesign the survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would be impacted by the proposed Project. The Applicant made minor revisions to the Recreation Study Plan and sent it the NPS and NNR for review. 7 The NPS suggested that the survey instrument should be revised by moving questions related to visitor experience up front and including the photosimulations of Project facilities visible from the HiLine and the Mainline in the survey so visitors can comment on how the presence of those facilities would affect their experience. The NNR expressed greater dissatisfaction with the survey instrument, so the Applicant requested that NNR review and edit the survey instrument. Due to not receiving the requested edits from NNR, the Applicant notified the NPS and NNR that they would forego implementing the NNR visitor survey. 8 6F
7F
c. Socioeconomic Study The Applicant did not provide a Socioeconomic Study Plan. In the Recreation Resources Study Plan, the Applicant mentioned that they “will use information from this study to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements.” 2. Study Implementation a. Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study Based on the viewshed analysis results, the Applicant reviewed KOPs and selected where potential visual impacts may occur. As requested by the NPS, the Star Platform was included as a KOP using both daytime and nighttime photosimulations. Due to the Star Platform being located 3.3 miles from the Project boundary, the study concluded that construction activities would be “nearly imperceptible” and long-term impacts would also be minimal as the Project 7 8
Appendix E: Revised Recreation Resources Study Plan See Appendix F: Applicant Email Foregoing Visitor Use Study

facilities would be “hard to discern from this distance”. As for impacts to the night sky, the study concluded that exterior lighting proposed at the Project site would be minimal and consist of safety lighting, which would be designed following mitigation measures developed by the Applicant in consultation with stakeholders. The NPS finds these conclusions to be reasonable in relation to the Project’s effects on the Star Platform. The NPS’ request regarding KOP selection included other locations that would capture the trainrider’s perspective of proposed Project facilities from the HiLine. The results whould be incorporated as photosimulations into a visitor survey as part of the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study. The Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study did include two additional KOPs along the HiLine: KOP 4, located along the HiLine approximately 1.3 miles south/southwest of the Project boundary and KOP 6, located along the HiLine near the NNR Museum in the City of Ely approximately 6.3 miles southwest of the Project boundary. Due to the distance of these two KOPs to the Project boundary, the study concluded that visual impacts from the Project would primarily be “imperceptible.” Considering that trains on the HiLine pass through the proposed Project boundary, stopping within a short distance on the other side of that boundary in the evening to allow passengers a panoramic view of the sunset before heading back across the Project boundary to Ely, KOPs should have been selected within or closer the Project boundary. Project facilities from such KOPs would have been clearly visible to train passengers. In our PAD comments, the NPS requested that the Visual and Aesthetic Study should capture the trainrider’s perspective from the HiLine, including “the view of the Project,” which is not represented in the KOPs selected for the study. The Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study does not provide information on how the proposed Project facilities would look like to passengers on the HiLine, which is essential to assess Project impacts to the aesthetics of those train rides. The Applicant proposed mitigation for visual impacts at the Star Platform (i.e., minimize or eliminate outdoor light emissions during Project construction and operation to reduce impact on night skies). The NPS believes that such mitigation measures would likely be effective for star gazing activities at the Star Platform. No mitigations for visual impacts closer to the Project boundary were proposed. b. Recreation Study In the Study Plan, the Recreation Resources Study consisted of three tasks: 1. Perform an outdoor recreation facility and resource inventory within an approximate 10mile radius of the Project 2. Determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch 3. Reporting Task two, which addresses NPS’s NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study Request, was not completed. The Applicant postponed this task but stated they would provide the results of the NNR visitor use assessment, if conducted, to agencies and interested parties at a later date. Without collecting data on NNR visitor use and experience, the DLA states that “any identified potential impacts to NNR train rides on the HiLine may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and providing educational information about the Project for NNR 7
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
passengers.” The Applicant proposes to work with NNR to provide information about the Project that can be “used in explaining the presence and purpose of the Project to mitigate the effects of the Project’s presence in the viewshed of the NNR HiLine train rides and to enhance the experience of passengers with information about renewable energy and the role pumped storage projects play in the stability and resilience of the regional electric grid.” Since the Applicant did not study how the proposed Project would impact NNR visitor use and experiences, including those related to changes to the landscape within and near the Project boundary, there is no data to determine if this would be an effective form of mitigation. c. Socioeconomic Study While the Applicant included the results of a Socioeconomic Study in the DLA, this study does not provide details on the economic contribution of tourism related to NNR HiLine trains. This data is essential in assessing both short-term impacts (during the six-year construction period) and long-term impacts (during Project operation) that the Project would have on NNR economic contributions to the local economy. D. SUMMARY The Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study evaluated visual resource conditions relating to proposed Project facilities and included an analysis of short-term and long-term impacts to visual resources at the Star Platform, both for daytime and nighttime views. While this part of study was adequate to assess Project-related visual impacts to train passengers stopping at the Star Platform, the study did not provide any photosimulations of what Project facilities would look like to visitors on the train within and adjacent to the Project boundary. This data is essential since visitors travelling on all HiLine and Mainline trains would pass through the Project boundary with a clear view of Project facilities. The aesthetics of the viewshed seen by passengers is an essential part of NNR visitor experiences. Collecting data on how this viewshed is altered by the proposed Project is necessary to assess the impacts to visitor experiences, which can result in changes to visitor use. The Recreation Study did not examine NNR HiLine visitor use and experiences as requested by the NPS. As a result, the DLA does not provide data necessary to determine Project impacts to overall NNR visitor use and experiences. Finally, the Applicant did not study the economic contributions that NNR has on the local area. These contributions would be directly impacted in the short-term due to the need to alter or halt train operations on the HiLine during Project construction and in the long-term by permanently altering visitor experiences and potentially reducing visitor use. E. CONSULTATION HISTORY On October 30, 2020, the NPS filed comments on the PAD and made study requests. • The NPS requested that the Applicant conduct two studies: o NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study o NNR Socioeconomic Study • The NPS also requested that the Applicant modify its proposed Visual and Aesthetic Study to include the train-rider’s perspective of proposed Project facilities to be incorporated into the requested NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study.

On March 9, 2021, the Applicant submitted its study plans to stakeholders for review, which included a Recreation resources Study Plan (new) and a Visual Resources and Aesthetics Study Plan (revised). The Applicant did not provide a Socioeconomic Study Plan as requested by the NPS. On April 7, 2021, the NPS filed comments on the Applicant’s study plans. •
In commenting on the proposed Visual and Aesthetics Study Plan, the NPS: o Commended the Applicant for agreeing to include the view from the HiLine in their study and incorporate the findings into the NNR visitor use assessment. o Stated that clarification was needed on how data on the views from the passengers on the impacted section of railway would be gathered. o Reiterated PAD comment that the KOP photosimulations could be incorporated into the visitor survey.
•
In commenting on the proposed Recreation Resources Study Plan, the NPS: o Commended the Applicant for including a NNR Visitor Use Assessment o Acknowledged that the study should provide data on the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors (the first objective of NPS’s requested study). o Expressed concerns that the proposed study would not sufficiently characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of the railway that would be directly affected by the Project (the second objective of NPS’s requested study). At issue was relying solely on a survey instrument and not engaging in more in-depth data collection necessary to qualify visitor experiences, such as user interviews and focus group discussions with NNR personnel and others participating on train rides, including NPS Dark Rangers. The NPS asserts that such focus group discussions would help redesign the survey instrument to better capture visitor use experiences that would potentially be impacted by the proposed Project.
•
The NPS noted that the Applicant’s Study Plan did not include the requested NNR Socioeconomic Study: o The NPS reiterated that the study is needed to determine the Project’s economic impact on the local economy due to impacts on the operation and nature of NNR train rides. o The NPS noted that the Applicant stated in the Recreation Resources Study Plan that information from the recreation study will be used “to assess the socioeconomic effects of the proposed Project and associated recreation mitigation and enhancements.” The Applicant did not describe how the socioeconomic analysis would be conducted and address the goals and objectives of NPS’s requested NNR Socioeconomic Study.
On June 11, 2021, the Applicant sent a revised Recreation Resource Study Plan to NPS and NNR, along with a comment-response table documenting comments received and White Pine responses.

In response to the NPS’s comments on the Visual and Aesthetics Study Plan, the Applicant stated that: o The study will include KOPs along the existing and proposed excursion routes. o The results of the visual assessment will be used in conjunction with visitor survey results to describe and qualify Project impacts. o The Applicant would consider including additional questions about visual and aesthetics resources to gauge passenger viewing habits, interests, and desires. In response to NPS’ comments on the Recreation Resources Study Plan, the Applicant stated that: o They intend to consult with NPS and NNR staff to refine the survey instrument as appropriate. o The survey instrument includes an open-ended question for additional comments from visitors. o Visitor surveys are recognized by NPS, FERC, and social science experts as viable tools for collecting information on visitor attitudes and preferences. In response to NPS’ comments on the lack of a NNR Socioeconomic Study, the Applicant stated that: o They intend to conduct a Socioeconomic study for reporting in the DLA and will distribute the study plan. o The content of the Socioeconomic report in the DLA will include what is prescribed under 18 CFR 4.41(f)(5), along with publicly available information or information provided by NNR. o The results of the Recreation Resources study will inform an assessment of impacts to future NNR visitor use.
On June 29, 2021, the Applicant, NPS, and NNR met via video conference call to review the survey instrument and field protocols. • The Applicant informed the NPS and NNR that there would be no need to re-locate the HiLine and the lower reservoir would be visible from the Hi-Line. • The Applicant acknowledged that they understood the Mainline (Ely to McGill) could be reactivated. • The Applicant identified an objective of the Recreation Resource Study is to analyze the potential impacts of the Project on NNR HiLine train rides and discussed the survey instrument with NPS and NNR: o NNR expressed dissatisfaction with the survey instrument and preferred that it would be developed by a third party. o The NPS suggested that questions related to visitor experience be moved up front. o The NPS requested that photosimulations of Project facilities visible from the HiLine be included in the visitor survey. The Applicant stated that the visual simulations would not be ready that summer, but the survey could be conducted at a later time. o The Applicant would staff the in-person survey, with a target of 100 total surveys over 6-8 excursions. o The Applicant agreed to determine any construction impacts on the railroad schedule.

o The Applicant requested that NNR review the survey instrument and provide edits by July 8 or 9. On June 29, 2021 (after the meeting), the Applicant emailed a Word version of survey instrument to NNR to make comments/edits and return to the Applicant by July 9, 2021. The NPS also received a copy of the survey instrument. On July 9, 2021, the Applicant emailed NNR to thank the NNR president for a telephone update on his schedule to review and comment on the questionnaire, and to provide a deadline of July 16, 2021 for the NNR’s review. The Applicant copied this email to the NPS. On July 29, 2021, the Applicant emailed NNR and NPS, thanking them for attending the meeting held on June 29, 2021, to review the Recreation Resources Study visitor survey instrument and discuss field protocols and provided a summary of that meeting: • The Applicant stated that NNR had not provided comments on the survey instrument as requested (original review deadline was July 9, 2021, followed by an extended review deadline of July 16, 2021). • The Applicant acknowledged NPS’ continued interest in a survey component that would present visitors with before and after photosimulation of views from the HiLine of scenes potentially affected by Project features. o While the Applicant collected baseline photographs from KOPs, photosimulations of proposed Project features were not scheduled to be completed until later in 2021 (not in time for the visitor survey). • The Applicant stated that due to the lack of concurrence on the existing survey instrument and the schedule for availability of photosimulations, they will forego implementing the NNR visitor survey. o The Applicant stated they will communicate with NNR and NPS when baseline photographs and project photosimulations are available to revisit the need for and purpose of a visitor survey. • The Applicant requested that NNR provide existing information on the railway, including: o An estimate of the number of NNR visitors o Demographic characteristics of NNR visitors o Information that characterizes visitor experiences on the Hi-Line Branch. On July 29, 2021, the NPS emailed the Applicant stating that NPS will contact NNR regarding the survey instrument and inquired about a Project Open House to be held that day. On July 29, 2021, the Applicant replied to NPS’s email and sent a copy of the handout for the Open House that evening. On February 17, 2022, the Applicant filed their DLA for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project with comments due by May 18, 2022.

F. CONCLUSION The NPS requests a resolution of the described dispute regarding the Visual and Aesthetic, Recreation, and Socioeconomic Resource Studies for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The NPS has reviewed the DLA and study reports provided by the Applicant, and concludes that the studies do not provide data necessary to evaluate the environmental effects of constructing and operating the Project or potential alternatives as part of the FERC licensing process. Specifically, the DLA does not provide data on impacts to the visual landscape as seen by passengers on the NNR HiLine or Mainline train excursions as they would pass through the Project boundary, with the aesthetics of the landscape being a critical aspect of train passenger experiences. The DLA does not provide data on visitor use (i.e., current number and demographic characteristics of visitors) and experiences on NNR HiLine train rides. Finally, the DLA does not provide data on the socioeconomic impacts of the Project on the local economy due to halting train excursions on the HiLine during Project construction and long-term changes in visitor use. In the DLA, the Applicant concludes that any visual impacts experienced by NNR passengers resulting from the proposed Project would be minimal at best, with most of the impacts being “imperceivable.” This conclusion is based on the KOPs used in the Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study along the HiLine being 1.3 miles or farther from the Project boundary. No KOPs were chosen along the HiLine within or close to the Project boundary, which would provide passengers a clear view of Project facilities as the train travels through the Project boundary. The DLA does not provide sufficient data on visitor use and experiences of passengers on HiLine trains, which is essential to understanding how they would be impacted by the proposed Project and necessary to develop effective mitigation measures. The Applicant states that visitor experiences would be impacted by the Project, but their proposed mitigation measure of providing educational information about the Project for NNR passengers is not based on any data collected and, according to NNR, would not address major impacts to visitor experiences. Finally, the DLA does not provide information necessary to assess Project impacts on NNR economic contributions to the local economy. To resolve this study dispute, the NPS requests that the Director of the Office of Energy Projects require the following studies of the Applicant, White Pine Power, LLC: 1. For the Visual and Aesthetic, Recreation, and Socioeconomic Resource Studies, require the Applicant to select and analyze additional KOPs along the NNR HiLine with photosimulations of Project facilities as seen from the passenger trains within and adjacent to the Project boundary. The photosimulations should be included in NNR visitor surveys to allow participants on HiLine train rides to comment on how changes in the viewshed would impact their experiences. The Visual and Aesthetic, Recreation, and Socioeconomic Resource Studies should also include new developments such as the reopening of the Mainline between Ely and McGill and changing the access route to the upper reservoir. 2. Conduct an NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study as outlined in NPS’s study request, with adjustments for new developments such as the reopening of the Mainline between Ely and McGill and changing the access route to the upper reservoir. 3. Conduct the NNR Socioeconomic Study as outlined in the NPS’s study request. 12

United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 333 Bush Street, Suite 500 San Francisco, CA 94104-2828 IN REPLY REFER TO:
1.A.2 (PW-PRR) May 17, 2022 The Honorable Kimberly D. Bose Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, N.E. Room 1A Washington, D.C. 20426 Dear Secretary Bose: The National Park Service (NPS) respectfully submits the following comments on the Draft License Application (DLA) for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (P-14851) that was filed by White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on February 17, 2021. The NPS has authority to consult with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and applicants concerning a project’s effects on outdoor recreation resources under the Federal Power Act (18 CFR 4.38(a), 5.41(f)(4)-(6), and 16.8(a)); the Outdoor Recreation Act (Pub Law 88-29), and the NPS Organic Act (39 Stat. 535). It is the policy of the NPS to represent the national interest regarding recreation and to assure that hydroelectric projects subject to relicensing incorporate the full potential for meeting present and future public outdoor recreation demands while maintaining and enhancing a quality environmental setting for those projects. Investigating opportunities to improve the recreation experience is consistent with NPS policy and FERC guidelines to identify potential future recreation needs. NPS COMMENTS ON THE DLA 1. Exhibit A Figure 1.0-1, Project Location and Proposed Facilities shows that the upper reservoir access road would stem off of CR 29 in Duck Creek Basin. Based on Applicant communications with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and White Pine County, the Applicant plans to abandon the proposed access route and use the potential access route from US 93, also identified in Figure 1.0-1. The NPS recommends the applicant provide the exact location of this alternative route, expand the Project boundary to include the access route, and examine its impacts to resources in
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
its immediate area. This includes impacts to the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR). The alternative access route would entail building a road that crosses NNR HiLine and Main Line tracks and would include a series of switchbacks across the face of the mountain that would likely be visible to the NNR passengers. Construction of the access road could also interfere with the railroad’s Dark Skies programming if nighttime construction occurs and requires lighting. 2. Exhibit E In Section 3.8.1.1 Recreation in the Conceptual Project Boundary, the DLA states that there are currently no developed recreation facilities located within the Project boundary, but then confirms that portions of NNR track lie within the Project boundary. The NNR is a developed recreation facility with thousands of visitors travelling yearly on its railcars that pass through the proposed Project boundary. The NPS recommends that providing more detailed descriptions of this recreation facility and how the proposed Project would impact visitor use and experiences related to NNR train rides. In Section 3.8.1.2 Recreation in the Project Vicinity, the DLA describes the NNR National Historic Landmark and the train rides it offers to visitors, including rides on the HiLine that passes through the proposed Project boundary. The total number and types of train rides currently offered on the HiLine should be updated to include the “Valley Vista” and “Trains to Trails.” The latter involves the train carrying passengers with their bikes through and beyond the Project boundary, where they depart the train with their bikes and head back downhill to Ely on the railway service road. The NNR Foundation was successful in receiving a $10,168,421 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) grant to restore the railroad’s Main Line from Ely through the proposed Project boundary to McGill. These and other related expansions would be directly impacted by the proposed Project and should be included in the analysis. The NPS recommends that Section 3.8.1.2 include a discussion of visitor experiences on NNR HiLine trains, including the central aspects of the train rides that make up those experiences. This information is necessary to determine how the Project would impact visitor experiences. In Section 3.8.2 Environmental Effects – Recreation, the DLA states that Project construction would interfere with train travel and disrupt the NNR HiLine train schedule. The NPS requests more details to quantify the number of trains that would be disrupted during the six-year Project construction period and the resultant reduction in the number and demographic characteristics of passengers who would travel on such trains. It would be beneficial for the Applicant to examine the effects of Project construction on the planned reopening of the Main Line from Ely to McGill, which would cross through the Project boundary. Section 3.8.2 states that experiences of passengers on HiLine train rides may be impacted due to construction and operation of the Project, including potential effects on dark skies from Project lighting and by modifying the landscape and scenery visible from the NNR train rides on the HiLine. These impacts are further discussed in Section 3.11 Aesthetic Resources. Impacts on visitor experiences cannot be assessed without first understanding the nature of those experiences, including aspects of the experience that would be affected by Project construction 2
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
and operation. The DLA should provide more data on visitor experiences to determine impacts to those experiences. In Section 3.8.4.1 Agency Consultation, the DLA states that “the results of the NNR visitor use assessment, if conducted, will be provided to agencies and interested parties at a later date.” The NPS requests that the Applicant conduct the NNR visitor use assessment and provide the NPS and other stakeholders the results for review. In Section 3.8.4.2 Applicant Recommendations, the DLA states that “any identified potential impacts to NNR train rides on the HiLine may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and providing educational information about the Project for NNR passengers.” The DLA further states that “information about the Project that can be used in explaining the presence and purpose of the Project to mitigate the effects of the Project’s presence in the viewshed of the NNR HiLine train rides and to enhance the experience of passengers with information about renewable energy and the role pumped storage projects play in the stability and resilience of the regional electric grid.” The effectiveness of this proposed mitigation measure cannot be determined since the DLA does not provide data on the nature of NNR passenger experiences, including the aspects of the train rides that contribute to an overall positive visitor experience. Based on recent communication with NNR, it is unlikely that visitor experience could be “enhanced” by providing educational information about the Project. In Section 3.11.2 Environmental Effects – Aesthetic Resources, the DLA summarizes the effects to visual resources from ten key observation points (KOPs). These KOPs were reviewed and selected “where potential visual impacts may occur.” Three KOPs used in the study were located along the NNR HiLine: KOP 4: Nevada Northern Railway, KOP 5: NNR Star Platform, and KOP 6: Train near NNR Museum. These KOPs ranged in distance to the Project boundary from 1.3 to 6.3 miles. Visual impacts due to the Project at these three KOPs would primarily range from “minimal” to “imperceptible” or “hard to discern from this distance.” The Applicant should provide additional data on visual impacts from KOPs along the HiLine that are closer to or within the Project boundary where project facilities are not “hard to discern.” Considering that HiLine trains cross through the Project boundary, stopping a short distance beyond the boundary to allow passengers watch the sunset, it is a reasonable assumption that the aesthetics of the Project area is an important aspect of the passenger’s experience. Information on how visual resources change from the passenger’s perspective within or adjacent to the Project boundary is necessary to understand the severity of impacts to those resources and the overall passenger experience. The NPS recommends the Applicant consider new developments that could impact visual and aesthetic resources not discussed in the DLA. This includes constructing the alternate access road off of US 93 to the upper reservoir. This access road would cross both NNR HiLine and Main Line tracks and include a series of switchbacks across the face of the mountain that would likely be visible to NNR passengers. The Applicant should also consider visual impacts to passengers on the Main Line due to its proposed reopening. In Section 3.11.4.2 Applicant Recommendations, the DLA outlines mitigation measures to address impacts to visual and aesthetic resources. This included the measure to “Minimize or
3
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
eliminate outdoor light emissions during Project construction and operation to reduce impact on night skies.” The NPS believes that this measure would address potential impacts to night skies, including at the Star Platform. However, the DLA does not provide mitigation measures to address impacts to the viewshed as seen by HiLine passes within and adjacent to the Project boundary. In Section 3.12.4.1 Agency Consultation (Socioeconomic Resources), the DLA states that comments on the pre-application document (PAD) were received from local, state, and federal agencies, Ely Shoshone Tribe, NNR Foundation, and individuals. The NPS suggests that the DLA also mention that, with the PAD comments, the NPS submitted a request for a NNR Socioeconomic Study to determine the Project’s economic impact on the local economy due to impacts on the operation and nature of NNR train rides. The Applicant did not complete the study. 3. Appendix F: Recreation Resources Study Report In Section 2 Methods, the Study Report identifies that Task 2 of the study was to “determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, and characterize their experiences on the HiLine Branch.” The Study Report then states that Task 2 was postponed and that “the results of the NNR visitor use assessment, if conducted, will be provided to the agencies and interested parties at a later date.” Similarly, in Section 2.2 NNR Visitor Use Assessment, the Study Report states that “the results of the NNR visitor use assessment will be provided to the agencies and interested parties at a later date, as available.” Finally, in Section 4.2 Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Use Assessment, the Study Report states that the Applicant “will assess the effects of Project construction and operation on NNR visitor opportunities, use, and experiences at a later date.” In response to the PAD, the NPS requested that the Applicant conduct a NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study. The objectives of the study were to 1) determine the current number and demographic characteristics of NNR visitors, 2) characterize NNR visitor experiences on the section of railway that would be affected by the Project 3) estimate magnitude and duration of both short-term and long-term impacts on NNR visitor use and experiences, and 4) identify methods to avoid or mitigate potential impacts. The data that would have been gathered for this study is required to determine overall impacts of the Project on NNR visitor use and experiences and to develop effective mitigation measures to address those impacts. The NPS thus requests this study to be completed as outlined in our study request with adjustments to account for new developments, such as the reopening of the Mainline between Ely and McGill and changing the access route to the upper reservoir. In Section 3.1.9 NNR Museum and Depot, Estimated Use Levels, the Study Report provides the number of Star Trains and Sunset, Stars, and Champagne Trains NNR operated in 2021; however, the total number of passengers on these trains was not provided. As a result, the Study Report does not provide data on the number of passengers on NNR HiLine trains that would be impacted by the Project, which is necessary to determine Project impacts on those numbers. Estimates of the number of passengers on the Main Line when it reopens should also be provided since these numbers would also be impacted by the Project.

4. Appendix H: Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report The three KOPs chosen along the NNR (KOPs 4, 5, and 6) identified in Section 3.6 are located too far from the Project boundary to provide any meaningful data on how the Project would impact the views of passengers on the HiLine. The NPS suggests thatadditional KOPs along the NNR tracks that are within and adjacent to the Project boundary be used to visualize how Project facilities would look like to passengers on the HiLine. Similar KOPs should be chosen along the Main Line since there are plans to reopen the tracks and Main Line passengers would travel through the Project boundary with a different view of the Project facilities. 5. Appendix I: Socioeconomic Study Report In the Executive Summary, the Study Report states that “there are potential negative impacts on NNR excursion train experiences due to the impacts of the Project. Impacts may be avoided and mitigated through lighting management and interpretation of the Project for NNR visitors.” The Study Report and the DLA do not provide details on the nature of the potential negative impacts the Project would have on train passengers. The NPS agrees that lighting management may mitigate impacts to night skies from the perspective of the Star Platform. The effectiveness of interpreting the Project for NNR visitors as a mitigation measure for impacts to visitor experiences in not substantiated in the DLA or Study Report. In Section 3.5 Displacement and Right-of-Way, the Study Report states that there would be few if any displacements of residences or businesses due to construction of the Proposed project. The Project would be located adjacent to and underneath NNR’s right-of-way granted by the BLM. Because NNR’s right-of-way grant would be senior to the right-of-way requested by the Applicant for the proposed Project, impacts to the existing right-of-way would first need to be mitigated. The NPS recommends that these impacts and mitigation measures be provided in the Final License Application. In Section 3.6 Nevada Northern Railway, the Study Report states the following in regard to the Project’s impacts on NNR trains and passengers: The Project may affect the views from the trains. In addition, the Project’s lighting at night may interfere with NNR’s star gazing programs. This may reduce the attractiveness of the rides to some passengers and perhaps reduce demand. The specific analyses related to the visual impacts of the Project, NNR visitor use, visitor perceptions, attitudes, and sensitivities will be conducted as a part of the recreation resources study. The impact on NNR will depend on the extent of visitor sensitivities to changes in landscape and effectiveness of impact mitigation (e.g., extent to which lighting can be managed). The impact on the star gazing program will also depend on the amount of light emitted by the Project and its location in relation to the location of the star gazing platforms/areas. The NPS agrees with the conclusion that the Project may affect the views from the trains which, in turn, may reduce demand. However, the Applicant does not provide sufficient data on the extent of such impacts. Conducting the Recreation Resources Study that includes “analysis related to the visual perceptions, attitudes, and sensitivities” would generate the necessary data 5
Document Accession #: 20220518-5108
Filed Date: 05/18/2022
needed to understand the passenger experience and determine how the Project would impact that experience. This, in turn, could be used to assess the effectiveness of proposed mitigation. Consistent with previous comments, the NPS requests that the Applicant conduct a Recreation Resources Study to accomplish this task. In response to the PAD, the NPS requested that the Applicant conduct a NNR Socioeconomic Study, which would use data gathered from the NNR Visitor Use and Assessment study to assess how the Project would impact the local economy due to affecting the operation and nature of NNR train rides. Because the NNR Visitor Use and Assessment Study nor the NNR Socioeconomic Study were completed, the Applicant has not provided the necessary data to substantiate a conclusion that “the impacts on NNR likely will be limited to a portion of one branch line north of Ely. Broader significant impacts on tourism to White Pine County seem unlikely.” Thank you for the opportunity for commenting on the DLA for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project.

Alpha St Ely, Nevada 89301 Re: Request for waiver of seasonal spatial restrictions for greater sage-grouse late brood rearing habitat, White Pine Pumped Storage Drilling Feasibility Study Dear Moira, In order to complete the Geotechnical Study for the Proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project), White Pine Waterpower LLC (WPW) is requesting a waiver of the seasonal restriction associated with greater sage-grouse late brood rearing habitat in the vicinity of the Project, so that seismic reflection testing and mobilization of drilling equipment can commence on September 1, 2022. Project Background WPW submitted a SF-2920 Application for the geo-tech and test pit portions of the Project to the Bureau of Land Management Bristlecone Field Office (BLM) in 2021. The subsequent Environmental Assessment (EA) (DOI-BLM-NV-L060-2021-0033-EA) resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and authorized the geo-tech and test pits under SF-2920 Permit N-100140 following stipulations derived from design features in the EA, FONSI, and BLM standard stipulations. The Project includes drilling at three borehole locations and testing for seismic reflection (Figure 1). Access to the drilling locations is on existing BLM roads, and the resulting surface disturbance assessed in the EA for all roads and drill pads is approximately 0.8 acres. For mitigation of the surface disturbance in greater sage-grouse habitat, WPW completed a debit analysis in the State of Nevada’s Conservation Credit System (CCS). The exploration activities resulted in 8 debits, and WPW secured 9 credits to offset those debits. Geotechnical drilling was conducted at BH-2 during the fall of 2021. WPW did not commence drilling at BH-3 and BH-1 due to greater sage-grouse winter habitat seasonal restrictions that prohibited activity under the permit after November 1. There was not sufficient time to mobilize, conduct drilling, and demobilize at BH-3 and BH-1 before October 31. The BLM requested a waiver for the seasonal restriction for greater sage-grouse winter habitat from Nevada Department of Wildlife in 2021 so that drilling may continue past October 31; however, that waiver was not granted.

The seismic reflection study portion of the Project was permitted by BLM in Land Use Permit (LUP) N100621 issued October 18, 2021, after the start of the borehole drilling at BH-2. The seismic reflection study was not conducted in 2021 due to the potential for drilling at BH-2 to interfere with seismic reflection data collection. rPlus understands that BLM revised the expiration date for the permit to October 31, 2022. Proposed Activity WPW proposes to conduct seismic reflection and begin mobilization for BH-3 and BH-1 beginning September 1, 2022. The testing for seismic reflection consists of using existing roads to access predetermined transect lines; small all-terrain vehicles may be used to transport field crews. The seismic reflection testing will require a crew of 8 workers, and the survey will be performed over a one-week period. WPW proposes to begin mobilizing equipment to BH-3 following existing access roads from Steptoe Valley on September 8, 2022. WPW has found an alternative route utilizing existing roads to access BH-3 from the Steptoe Valley (Figure 1). The use of existing roads to BH-3 from the Duck Creek Basin that were included in the EA are no longer feasible and would likely have greater impacts to greater sage-grouse populations in the Duck Creek Basin due to the proximity of those previously proposed roads to active leks and the amount of linear disturbance within PHMA. The existing roads from the Steptoe Valley may require minor maintenance to allow for safe passage of water trucks and crew vehicles; however, road maintenance would be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. A 2” water line and six booster pumps will be placed along the existing roads to support pumping of water during the drilling at BH-3 (Figure 2). The booster pumps are pump generators, that will be placed on elevated platforms above ground level that will be supported by a screw pile footing, and no additional vegetation clearing or ground disturbance would be required to set up the booster pump stations. The 2” water line will be placed on the existing roads, and no vegetation clearing or additional ground disturbance would be required for the placement of the water line. Upon mobilizing the equipment to the drill site, the geotechnical drilling will commence on September 15, 2022, and will require a crew of approximately 10 people working up to two 12-hour shifts per day, 7 days per week. The duration of drilling at BH-3 is anticipated to be 40-45 days and will be completed by November 1, 2022. WPW proposes to also begin mobilizing equipment to BH-1 on September 8, 2022. Access to BH-1 is on existing dirt roads from Highway 93 that may require minor maintenance to allow for safe passage of water trucks and crew vehicles. Upon mobilizing the equipment to the drill site, the geotechnical drilling will commence on September 15, 2022, and will require a crew of approximately 10 people working up to two 12-hour shifts per day, 7 days per week. Drilling at BH-1 will be completed by November 1, 2022. Greater Sage-grouse Late Brood-rearing Habitat All activities summarized above and that are proposed to begin on September 1, 2022, fall within designated greater sage-grouse late brood rearing habitat (Figure 3) as mapped by Spatially explicit modeling of annual and seasonal habitat for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Nevada and Northeastern

California—An updated decision-support tool for management1, and in Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA) and General Habitat Management Area (GHMA) as designated by the BLM’s 2015 Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA). The uppermost elevation of the proposed existing access roads travel through priority habitat management area (PHMA) for approximately 1.22 miles. The previously proposed access route to BH-3 via Duck Creek traversed through approximately 4 miles of PHMA habitat, so the use of the new route from Steptoe Valley travels through less PHMA habitat overall. The access roads to BH-1 travel through GHMA for 2.7 miles and are within one mile of Highway 93. The closest distance from the proposed existing access roads to a known lek is 1.4 miles, while the closest distance from previously proposed access route to BH-3 via Duck Creek to a known lek is 0.5 miles, thus the use of the new route from Steptoe Valley is 0.9 miles further from a known lek and any nearby nesting areas. Further, the identified booster pump station locations have been specifically selected to avoid PHMA areas. The seasonal restriction for greater sage-grouse late brood rearing habitat is from June 15 to September 15.2 Broods of greater sage-grouse generally stay together for 10–12 weeks after the nests have fledged, and by the end of the brood-rearing season, most juvenile grouse grow to the size of small hens. It is anticipated that seismic survey activities beginning on September 1, 2022 and geotechnical borehole drilling equipment mobilization beginning on September 8, 2022 would not adversely affect greater sage-grouse broods in the vicinity of the Project area. According to Management Decision (MD) SSS-3 of the 2015 ARMPA for proposed activities in GHMA, a waiver or exception to seasonal restrictions may be justified due to documented local variations or annual climate fluctuations. Local variations may be present in the vicinity of the seismic reflection transect area, the newly identified access roads to BH-3, the drilling work area at BH-3, and the access roads and work area for BH-1 due to the proximity to existing anthropogenic disturbance in the Steptoe Valley and the ongoing drought conditions in the Great Basin. Impacts to greater sage-grouse habitat as a result of the proposed activities were analyzed and mitigated in the EA and FONSI for the Project, and the Project has been sited to avoid greater sage-grouse habitat to the greatest extent possible. The use of existing roads from Steptoe Valley to access the BH-3 drilling location removes the need for geotechnical drilling crews to access the BH-3 work area from the Duck Creek Basin, thus avoiding sensitive PHMA habitat in the Duck Creek Basin. Furthermore, WPW is submitting the revised access route to BH-3 to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team and has completed an additional debit analysis in the CCS to assess impacts as a result of using the existing roads on the revised access route. Additional credits will be secured as needed for the revised access route to BH-3.

Conclusion This waiver to the seasonal restriction for late brood-rearing habitat starting on September 1 is being requested so the seismic reflection testing and mobilization of equipment and drilling at BH-1 and BH-3 can be completed outside of any other seasonal restriction for greater sage-grouse and is necessary to complete the Project. WPW respectfully requests Nevada Department of Wildlife and BLM grant this waiver to begin the specifically noted construction activities approved in SF- 2920 Permit N-100140 on September 1, 2022.

Hi Danielle, You are correct. Below is the boundary for the NHL listing for the East Ely Yards and Shops (93000693). The McGill Railway Depot (15000010) is also listed in the NHL for its association with the NV Northern Railway (which is located north of your project area). I believe our Deputy included that information on the NV Northern Railway in the letter to indicate that the rail lines you recorded for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project are associated with the listed depots/yards and are likely to be significant; which you indicated that they were in the submitted reports and recommended the recorded portions of the line as eligible/contributing. Apologies for the confusion. Let me know if you have any further questions. Happy Friday! -S

The NPS and Foundation have explained that Applicant’s draft license application (DLA) has important data gaps and other deficiencies that must be rectified to show the complete Project impacts on overall NNRy visitor use and experiences. Despite threatening current and future visitor experiences with potentially devastating shortand long-term impacts, the Applicant has either failed or insufficiently studied the Project’s impacts, among other things, on: •
Railway visitors’ visual experiences. Applicant’s Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report presently only includes two photo simulations along the Railway’s HiLine, neither of which offers a near field direct line of site of the Project’s infrastructure. Applicant should be required to prepare and include photo

How the Project will affect recent important recreational developments involving the railroad. The Project’s Resource Study plan, for example, relies on stale information on the use of the HiLine. The study plan also does not include sufficient information discussing Project impacts on: the increasingly popular Astro-tourism programs; the Foundation’s expanded bicycling programs utilizing the railroad and its parallel service road as a new bike riding trail; and plans underway to introduce an electric railbike program using the HiLine Branch.
•
How the Project will affect the economic contribution of tourism on a short- or long-term basis related to Foundation trains. Applicant did not provide a Socioeconomic Study Plan. This plan needs to be performed to measure thoroughly the Project impacts on the range of attributes that cause people to travel to an isolated area of Nevada to experience the unique Railway experience.
•
Whether the Project will interfere with the Railway’s senior right-of-way. Applicant has recently indicated to the BLM that changes to the Project would be made involving building an access road that crosses NNRy tracks and includes switchbacks in the Steptoe Valley mountain side visible to Railway passengers.
•
Whether existing aquifers can support the water needs of both the local community and the Project.
For all these reasons, the Foundation supports the NPS Study Dispute Request and asks the Commission to direct Applicant to conduct and complete the required studies so that a full understanding and proper review of the Project can occur. Sincerely,

White Pine Waterpower, LLC, Project No. 14851-001 Response to National Park Service Request for Study Dispute Resolution
Dear Secretary Bose: White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is pursuing an original license for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project, Project No. 14851 (Project) using the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC or Commission) traditional licensing process (TLP). After completing the first stage of consultation of the TLP, WPW filed a Draft License Application (DLA) for the Project. 1 WPW provided the DLA to the National Park Service (NPS)—among other federal and state resource agencies, tribes, and stakeholders—and requested comments by May 18, 2022. 2 NPS provided comments on the DLA and also filed with the Director of the Office of Energy Projects a request for study dispute resolution (NPS Request). 3 The NPS Request maintains that the study reports and analysis included in the DLA do not provide sufficient information to evaluate the Project’s impacts to the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR). 4 WPW is committed to collaborating with NPS and providing the information necessary for the Commission’s evaluation of the Project’s resource impacts. As contemplated at this second stage of the TLP, WPW has requested that NPS meet with WPW in a joint meeting to discuss NPS’s concerns and to attempt to reach agreement on WPW’s plans for environmental protection,

Industrial Way Ely, NV 89301 Email Jbybee@blm.gov Re: Land Use Permit (LUP) N-100621 for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project Seismic Reflection Study; Submittal of Revised Figures Dear Mr. Bybee, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), a subsidiary of rPlus Energies, developer and proponent of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project currently holds a permit for a seismic reflection study on BLM lands. The seismic reflection study was permitted by BLM in Land Use Permit (LUP) N-100621 issued October 18, 2021. However, the seismic reflection study was not conducted in 2021 due to the potential for geotechnical drilling at BH-2, which had already commenced, to interfere with seismic reflection data collection. rPlus understands that BLM intends to revise the expiration date for the permit to October 31, 2022. We have revised the access route shown in the permit associated figures for the seismic reflection study area to limit impacts to private landowners in the area. The revised access route includes use of an existing service road with no required improvements or modifications to the road, and no revisions needed to the permit language. Please find attached a figure of the focused study area and a figure showing the topography of the revised access route to the study area. Sincerely,

– Project lighting will be designed and operated to mitigate potential impacts • Use dark-sky compliant lighting fixtures • The timing and use of lighting will be coordinated
9
Water Sourcing (Ground Water) • Water sourcing for project is under contract – Steptoe Valley water allocated to White Pine County (24,000 AF/Y) for industrial & economic development use (originally for planned coal plants) – Water agreement was signed with White Pine County in March 2021
•
Water usage – Construction Phase: Up to 900 acre-feet per year for 5 years – Initial fill requirement ~4,500 acre-feet – Annual make-up water for life of project 500-750 acre-feet (equivalent to about one irrigation pivot per year)
•
Working with Nevada on production well site relocation to project site – Permitted well sites are 10-12 mi from project lower reservoir site – Lower cost and reduced environmental impact 10

Moira, Just to let you know, we are very close to executing the Secret Pass Term Sheet for the six additional Sage Grouse mitigation credits applicable to the alternative access route to BH3. We acknowledge that the alternative access route to BH3 is not approved yet, but we wanted to be somewhat proactive in this process. Also, we plan to meet you (and whomever will be accompanying you from the SETT) at 2:00 pm tomorrow at the Reck Bros. yard on South Industrial for our trip up the mountain. Just FYI, I was finally able to contact Jared and either he, or a designated alternate from BLM, will also be accompanying us on the trip. Really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

The Department agrees that following timing restrictions may be waived for GRSG: •
Late Brood Rearing from September 1 to September 15
Based on our evaluation the Department feels that the proposed modified timeframes for the seismic reflection study and equipment mobilization for BH-1 and BH-3 will not have impacts GRSG, based on short duration of the activity (approximately 8 days). Should the scope of these projects change in any way, the modifications to the timing restrictions will need to be reevaluated to ensure that they still provide adequate protection for sage-grouse. The Department greatly appreciates the BLM’s cooperation on this project. If you should have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. Moira Kolada

Mr. Bybee, Please find attached the request for a modification of the workplan associated with BLM Permit LUP N-100140 for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (the “Project”) Geotechnical Study. This request results from a very comprehensive and substantial effort to minimize and limit the impacts to GrSG while balancing the need to complete the geotechnical study work associated with the Engineering Feasibility Study for the Project. Due to limitations in accessing private lands needed to access Borehole B-3 from the east, we have prepared this modified workplan for access to Borehole B-3 from the west. The workplan for drilling Borehole B-1 has not changed. Except for the removal of the test pit located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1), the workplan for excavation of test pits has not changed. The drilling plan for Borehole B-3 has not changed. Borehole locations have not changed. This modification to the workplan is limited to how equipment, personnel, and water will access Borehole B-3. This modified workplan to access Borehole B-3 will use existing roads and staging within existing disturbed land areas. The modified workplan will a) reduce the required number of overall vehicle round trips by using a water pipeline (eliminating up to five round trips of water trucks per shift), b) eliminate project travel in the Duck Creek Valley, c) reduce the distance traversed through Greater Sage Grouse PHMA from approximately 4 miles to 1.22 miles for a total reduction of approximately 14,700 linear feet, and d) increase the distance of the access routes from the nearest known Greater Sage Grouse lek from approximately 0.5 miles to 1.4 miles. Most importantly, with the modified workplan there will be a 0.7-acre net decrease in land disturbance compared to our initial workplan, while also eliminating a 5,000 sf (0.15 acre) previously disturbed staging area proposed for private land that was associated with the route to B-3 from the east. Please feel free to contact me at the number noted below or via return email should you have any questions regarding this request. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to stop by and visit with you briefly during my next visit to Ely to discuss any questions you may have. Take great care, Greg Copeland | Program Manager, Hydro 801-759-2223 | www.rplushydro.com
Greg Copeland rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 Main St., Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Via E-Mail and USPS June 22, 2022 Bureau of Land Management, Ely District Jared Bybee - Field Manager Bristlecone Field Office Email Jbybee@blm.gov RE: Land Use Permit (LUP) N-100140 for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project Geotechnical Study Dear Mr. Bybee, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW), a subsidiary of rPlus Energies, developer and proponent of the White Pine Pumped Storage Project currently holds a permit (LUP N-100140) for geotechnical drilling activities in White Pine County. These activities include drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and excavating five test pits (TPU-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4). Boring B-2 was completed in October 2021 and Borings B-1, B-3, and the test pits are planned for 2022. However, the test pit located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1) is no longer part of the geotechnical program and has been removed from the geotechnical project plans. Within our permit, LUP N-100140, Standard Stipulation #3 states that ‘The holder shall construct, operate, and maintain the facilities, improvements, and structures within this Land Use Permit (LUP) in strict conformity with the Plan of Development (POD) that accompanied the application and was approved and incorporated into the permit. Any relocation, construction, or other use that is not explicitly permitted by the approved POD shall not be initiated without the prior written approval of the AO.’ Accordingly, WPW requests approval for a modification to access to boring B-3. Due to limitations in accessing private lands needed to access B-3 from the east, we have prepared a modified workplan for access to B-3 from the west. The modified access includes the use of waterlines and booster pumps to transport water for B-3. This proposed workplan modification greatly reduces vehicle trips and travel through sensitive Greater Sage Grouse priority habitat management area (PHMA) and greatly increases the proximity of the access routes to identified Greater Sage Grouse lek locations. This modification to the original work plan reduces overall impacts and still adheres to WPW’s LUP N100140 commitment to use existing roads to access the borings and test pits. No new roads would be constructed but minor maintenance would be conducted on existing roads, consisting of removing loose rock from steep sections, trimming or removing trees, and adding crushed rock in any deeply rutted silt bed area to allow safe passage of boring equipment and associated supplies, water trucks, and crew vehicles. Following is a detailed description of the proposed modification to the B-3 access plan.
Access Road An existing two-track road depicted in Figure 1 and Photo 1 would provide access from the Steptoe Valley to B-3. Crews would access the site for work shifts via this access road. Drilling equipment would be mobilized and remain at the work site for the duration of drilling and then de-mobilize following the completion of drilling. The access originally proposed for B-3 from the east has been removed from the project and would not be used. Figure 1: Access to B-3
Photo 1
Water Transport WPW proposes to utilize a two-inch HDPE water pipeline to supply B-3 drill rig with water. This pipeline would largely replace water trucks originally proposed for supplying water to B-3. The pipeline would lay on the surface within the prism of an existing two-track road (Figure 1). The boring of B-3 will require approximately 900,000 gallons of water over 41 days of drilling and testing. Water would be obtained from a municipal hydrant in Ely and transported by water trucks to the base of the water line and then stored in poly tanks. Up to 15,000 gallons (three approximately 5,000-gallon poly tanks) of water would be staged at the waterline base. The waterline base station would be located in existing disturbed area adjacent to the access road. Two additional approximately 5,000-gallon water poly tanks would be located at the top of the water pipeline at the B-3 drill pad. The top tanks would be filled by the water line feeding from the lower water tanks. WPW would utilize six booster pumps to lift the water from the lower water tanks to the upper water tanks which would feed the drill rig. Each booster pump would have its own station equipped with a 10hp generator with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), and a double-wall fuel cell. The stations would be located in existing disturbed areas adjacent to the existing two-track road in proximity to the waterline. Depending on the natural grade, local topography, and the size of the existing disturbed area, the booster pump stations, and fuel cell would be placed on a) ancillary decks with secondary containment, or b) on wooden landscape timber platforms placed directly on the ground to level the stations without any additional ground disturbance (grading, blading or digging) required. The platforms would be 8’ x 8’ (64 sq. ft.) per booster pump station. (Photo 2) The generator fuel cell for each booster pump station would be double walled with 110% containment. Each station would also include an HDPE secondary containment liner (Photo 3).
Photo 2 - example of ancillary decks for the booster pump stations
Photo 3 – example of a typical arrangement, however the platform will be smaller and elevated
Staging Area WPW proposes to use an 85-foot by 60-foot by 60-foot triangular shaped area (1,800 sf) at the base of the water line (location BP-1, Figure 1) for the base water pump station and for stockpiling water to be pumped up to B-3. The temporary staging area has recent OHV/motorcycle off-road surface disturbance. This staging area would be grubbed and leveled to accommodate the base water pump station and the water tanks storage. A portable toilet for the support crew would also be located in this staging area.
This staging area would replace the 150-foot by 50-foot temporary staging area associated with the route to B-3 from the east. Conclusion The workplan for B-1 has not changed. Except for the removal of the test pit located in the vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1), the workplan for excavation of test pits has not changed. The drilling plan for B-3 has not changed. Borehole locations have not changed. The modification to the workplan is limited to how equipment, personnel, and water will access B-3. WPWs modified workplan to access B-3 would use existing roads and staging within a previously disturbed area. The modified workplan would reduce the required number of overall vehicle round trips by using the water pipeline (eliminating up to five round trips of water trucks per shift). The modified workplan would eliminate project travel in Duck Creek Valley. The modified workplan would reduce the distance traversed through Greater Sage Grouse PHMA from approximately 4 miles to 1.22 miles for a total reduction of approximately 14,700 linear feet. The modified workplan increases the distance from the nearest known Greater Sage Grouse lek from approximately 0.5 miles to 1.4 miles; thus, the modified workplan is 0.9 miles further from a known lek and any potential nearby nesting areas. Further, the booster pump station locations identified in the modified workplan have been specifically selected to avoid PHMA areas. Table 1 shows there would be a 0.7-acre net decrease in land disturbance compared to our initial application, while also eliminating a 5,000 sf (0.15 acre) previously disturbed staging area proposed for private land that was associated with the route to B-3 from the east.

Attachment 1 – Supplemental Information for Form 2920 *UPDATED*
Submitted November 2020 Revised / Submitted April 2021 Revised June 2022
BLM 2920 v3
June 2022 United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Land Use Application and Permit – Form 2920
Form 2920 Additional Space 7a. What do you propose to use the lands for? White Pine Waterpower, LLC (Applicant) intends to conduct a geotechnical program in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The geotechnical program will consist of drilling three borings (B-1, B-2, B-3) and four test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4). This Form 2920 Land Use and Application Permit is intended for the exploratory and geotechnical sampling activities associated with the geotechnical program. Permitting of the full proposed White Pumped Storage Project will be conducted under a separate scope and a submission of an SF-299 Right-of-Way application. For the purposes of this permit application, “Applicant” will refer to White Pine Waterpower, LLC (White Pine Waterpower) and the geotechnical program is referred to as “Sample Activity.” The overall Sample Activity area is located within a 3.1 mile buffer of an active greater sage-grouse lek, therefore White Pine Waterpower modified the application submitted in November 2020 by revising access routes to use existing roads where possible in order to mitigate impacts on the sage grouse. The use of existing roads to B-3 from the Duck Creek Basin that were included in the April 2021 application are no longer feasible due to limitations in acquiring access to private lands. Therefore, the Applicant has modified the application submitted in April 2021 by utilizing existing roads to access B-3 from the Steptoe Valley (Figure 2.1). The use of existing roads to B-3 from the Steptoe Valley will have less impacts on greater sage-grouse habitat due to the proximity of the previously proposed roads to active leks, and the reduction of travel within PHMA. Proposed Activity The Applicant intends to obtain a drilling contractor to provide geotechnical drilling services (geotechnical program) to support a preliminary design study of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. The Applicant requests to drill three borings approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter and up to approximately 2,300 feet deep to determine subsurface geology for engineering and design purposes. In addition to the borings, four test pits are anticipated to support the preliminary design of the proposed facility. Test pits will be excavated to approximately 20 feet in depth. The geotechnical program will primarily utilize existing roads for access and also construction of a new temporary access path, which will be limited in length as much as possible. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. The three borings will be located across the Sample Activity area between the upper reservoir and lower reservoir. Boring 1 (B-1) will be located in the tailrace tunnel outlet portal and lower reservoir area. Boring 2 (B-2) will be at the nearest road access to the anticipated powerhouse. Boring 3 (B-3) will be located near the anticipated upper reservoir shaft intake. Four test pits will be located in the vicinity of the proposed lower reservoir (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3 and TPL-4). Note that the test pit located in the WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 1
BLM 2920 v3
June 2022
vicinity of the proposed upper reservoir (TPU-1) is no longer part of the geotechnical program and has been removed from the geotechnical project plans. Maps of the Sample Activity vicinity, boring and test pit locations, as well as access roads, are provided in Attachment 2. Boring B-1 will likely encounter up to several hundred feet of granular valley fill alluvium overlying sedimentary bedrock. Applicant anticipates that valley fill alluvium will consist of loose to very dense sands and gravels with varying amounts of silt and clay. The valley fill alluvium may exhibit cementation at depth, may contain nested cobbles and boulders, and may form a groundwater aquifer. Borings B-2 and B-3 will likely encounter approximately 0 to 20 feet of primarily granular colluvium soils overlying sedimentary bedrock. Colluvium soils will likely be similar in texture to the valley fill alluvium described above. Note that B-2 was completed in October 2021. The geotechnical program will involve use of existing access roads that may require minor maintenance (i.e.- smoothing). Access routes are further described in Section 2 for transportation of drilling rigs, testing equipment, materials, water supply and daily commute of field staff. 7b. What improvements and/or land development do you propose? Access to the boring locations is primarily along existing roads. Existing roads may require minor maintenance and will be maintained for safe passage. Roads may also require snow removal or the addition of crushed material to mitigate rutting. A new access path will be used for areas off an existing road to access bore hole B-1. Staging areas will be in the developed industrial area just east of Highway 93. No permanent land development is proposed. Road maintenance for drilling and sampling activities located on BLM lands, will be performed while minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance. Vegetation located within the access roads, drilling pads, or other permitted spaces will be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Any disturbed boring, test pit locations, and access paths will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will then be a seeded with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-approved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Restoration areas will be inspected by a field agent from the owner’s representative. The proposed activities will not impact or alter existing land use. Additional Requested Information 1. Duration of Activities Field work is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately two months. Crews of approximately 12 will work one to two, 12-hour shifts per day, up to 7 days a week. Crews may be organized into two (2) 12-hour shifts per day for up to a total of 24 hours of work per day. Personnel will travel approximately 15-45 minutes one-way to or from the Sample Activity site at the beginning or end of each shift. A safety meeting is planned at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 2

*Note: Anticipated durations above are estimated. The Applicant is evaluating the possibility of future exploratory activities based on the test results of the activities proposed in this Application. 2. Sample Activity Access Route and Road Improvements The proposed access routes to boring locations (B-1, B-2, B-3) and test pits (TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, TPL-4) are described in detail below. The Applicant will utilize existing roads for access where possible and will provide road maintenance (i.e. smoothing) where needed. Construction of new temporary access paths will be constructed where necessary but limited in length as much as possible. Turn-arounds for large equipment will be incorporated at each boring location. Disturbances are expected to be minimal and temporary in nature. Estimated Sample Activity disturbances are listed in Table 2. Access to B-1, TPL-1, TPL-2, TPL-3, and TPL-4 Access to Boring B-1, and TPL-1 through TPL-4, can all be accessed by existing roads (Figure 2.1). Access to Boring B-2 Access to B-2 utilizes all existing roads and will not require construction of any new paths. Access to B-2 requires utilizing the designated NNR crossing off South Industrial Way. Note that B-2 was completed in October 2021. Access to Boring B-3 Access to Boring B-3 is available from an existing two-track road from the Steptoe Valley (Figure 2.2). There is also an ATV maintenance route along an existing road for installation and service of the booster pumps and water lines (Figure 2.2).

Existing roads are previously disturbed and will not be expanded. Staging Area is previously disturbed.
All limits of disturbed areas, including existing roads, drill pad, test pit pad, and new access path will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. If necessary, the contractor shall obtain necessary permitting and provide traffic control services (including traffic control plans) in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. 3. Drilling Activities Proposed Activities At each boring location, a 100-foot by 50-foot area will be used for a drill pad to facilitate drilling operations. Drill pads will be cleared by use of a steel blade on either a bulldozer or motor grader. Limits of drill pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. The geotechnical contractor will operate an DMW 65 Geotechnical Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds with a dimension of 8.5 feet by 7 feet as well as an MM3 Drill, or similar, that weighs approximately 18,000 pounds with a dimension of 8 feet by 16 feet. Equipment specification sheets are available upon request. All drills and equipment will be secured and left onsite during non-working hours. In addition to the three borings, the proposed scope of work includes excavating four test pit locations. A 50-foot by 50-foot test pit pad will be used to facilitate test pit operations. Limits of test pit pads will be marked with flagging, signage, or other visible indicators to control any unnecessary ground disturbance. Test pits will be a benched excavation that is 24-feet wide by 24-feet long by 24 feet deep utilizing a tracked hydraulic excavator. At each test pit location, spoils will be casted in a pile adjacent to the test pit. The sides of the test pit will be sloped as necessary to control caving and permit excavation to the required depth without the use of shoring. No personnel will be allowed to enter the pit or any potentially unstable areas adjacent to the pit. If test pits are left unattended, pits will be covered to reduce fall hazards. After bulk samples have been taken, all test pits will be backfilled with the native material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill will be WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 6
BLM 2920 v3

brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator leaving the ground approximately even with the original grade. Equipment The following equipment may be present onsite throughout the Sample Activity: 80,000-pound tracked excavator, 4,000-gallon water truck, geotechnical drill, in-situ testing equipment, tracked bulldozer, motor grader, forklift, generator, water pumping equipment, compressed gas cylinder (nitrogen), air compressor, utility vehicles, personal vehicles, semi-truck, core logging shack/tent. All equipment arriving onsite will be pressure washed and free of debris, dirt, and vegetation. Water Transport Water for B-1 and B-2 will be obtained from an Ely hydrant and transported by water truck to the Sample Activity site. Note that B-2 was completed in October 2021. Water for B-3 will be obtained from an Ely hydrant and transported by water truck to poly water tanks placed in the intersection of existing roads at the end of the water truck route as depicted in Figure 3.1. A 2” water line and six booster pumps will be placed along the existing roads to support pumping of water during the drilling site at B-3 (Figure 3.1). As depicted in Figure 2.1, these existing roads will serve as ATV maintenance routes for installation and service of the booster pumps. The booster pumps are pump generators that will be placed on elevated platforms above ground level. No additional vegetation clearing or ground disturbance will be required to set up the booster pump stations. The 2” water line will be placed on existing roads, and no vegetation clearing or additional ground disturbance will be required for the placement of the water line. The boring of B-3 will require approximately 900,000 gallons of water over 41 days. Up to 15,000 gallons (three approximately 5,000 gallon poly tanks) of water could be staged at the waterline base. Two additional approximately 5,000-gallon water poly tanks will be located at the top of the waterline at or near the B-3 drill pad. The top tanks will be filled by the water line feeding from the lower water tanks.

June 2022
Vehicular Traffic The approximate number of daily vehicular trips to each work site will vary based upon the required activities, but approximately 20 round trips per day for contractor, inspector, and testing personnel, at each respective active working site, are anticipated. In addition, water delivery trucks to B-1 and the base of the water line for B-3 are estimated to be up to 15 trips per day, depending on number of shifts. Applicant will attempt to limit personnel trips through carpooling . Weather permitting, Applicant will utilize a Utility Transport Vehicle for personnel. Best Management Practices Best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented throughout the Sample Activity areas in order to preserve the conditions of the work areas. Examples of BMPs that may be implemented include silt fence, straw wattles, sand/gravel bags, jute erosion control matting, vehicle rumble plates, and riprap. BMPs will be implemented in conjunction with good housekeeping practices in order to minimize any potential sources of pollution. All liquids will be stored in watertight containers with appropriate secondary containment to prevent any spillage or leakage, or in a completely enclosed storage shed. Portable toilets will include a tray to contain spills and minor leaks and will be tied down to protect from tipping in high wind areas. Any waste disposal containers will be covered and emptied before reaching capacity. The following procedures will be observed for fueling operations in accordance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC): • • • •
Diesel fuel will be delivered to the Sample Activity area site with a 100-gallon transfer tank in a support pickup. The fuel from the support pickup will be transferred into safety fuel cans labeled for correct fuel (Diesel or gas). Fuel from safety cans will be transferred into the equipment fuel cells. SPCC procedures for fueling will be followed during all fueling operations. A spill cleanup kit will be staged at each work site.
Test pits will be backfilled with the excavated material in lifts approximately 3 feet thick and tamped with the excavator bucket. Backfill shall be brought to the original ground level, tamped, and rolled with the wheels or tracks of the excavator leaving the ground approximately even with the original grade. Bore holes will be filled within 60 days of completion of field exploration in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including the rules for abandoning bore holes as included Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 534 and applicable Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 534. Borings not completed as piezometers will be abandoned with a watertight seal. The seal must be constructed to prevent the inflow or vertical movement of surface water or shallow groundwater, or to prevent the outflow or vertical movement of water under artesian pressures. The geotechnical contractor will abandon the bore hole with a cement-bentonite grout placed through a tremie grout pipe to the ground surface. Backfill grout will consist of a mixture of one-tenth powdered bentonite, one-part Portland cement, and one-part potable water, or other approved bentonite cement grout mixture. In some cases, immobile backfill may be needed to seal zones that take grout. The grout will be WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 9
BLM 2920 v3
June 2022
pumped in the bore hole with a tremie pipe or hose. The tremie pipe will extend to the bottom of the bore hole and be withdrawn in tremie fashion until the casing is filled to the ground surface. The casing will then be removed in no more than 10-foot increments. The contractor shall add additional bentonite-cement grout to the casing as necessary to maintain the grout level at the top of the casing during withdrawal. Controlled density fill (CDF) and soil cuttings are not allowed for backfill. The geotechnical contractor will return to the site daily for at least three days following completion of grouting to “top-off” the boring with bentonite-cement grout if the grout column settles below the ground surface. The geotechnical contractor will check for grout settlement for at least two days following grouting and continue adding grout until the grout level in the bore hole is stabilized at the ground surface. Grout and non-mobile backfill quantities and surface completion details will be recorded on the drillers daily log. Reclamation Surface restoration will not typically be performed until after the boring has been successfully grouted to the required level. Placing “top-off” grout to account for grout loss several days after the initial grouting may be required. Following boring closure and demobilization from the individual boring location and test pit location, the sites will be restored to a condition matching or exceeding its undisturbed condition. Site reclamation as described in 7b above and final stabilization of any disturbed areas will include the removal of any BMPs, ruts, berms, and any obstructions of natural water ways. Any wheel ruts and marks will be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials will be removed from the area and disposed of at an approved facility. 4. Environmental Overview The road from Highway 93 to bore sites B-1,B-2, and B-3 starts at approximately 6,160 feet elevation. B1 sits at approximately elevation 6,570 feet, while B-2 sits at approximately elevation 7,140 feet and B-3 sits at approximately 8,500 feet. The habitat along the majority of access roads can be characterized as xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland, which is dominated by low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula) and rabbitbrush (Ericameria sp.). Access roads at higher elevations have a greater amount of bare ground with some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), and are surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyon-juniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. The overall Sample Activity area is located within 3.1 miles of an active greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) lek. B-1 is contained within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe, with approximately 15 to 20 percent grass cover and is situated entirely within a xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland habitat. Species of vegetation primarily include low sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, feverfew (Parthenium incanum), indian ricegrass, kindlingweed (Gutierrizia sarothrae), and the occasional Utah juniper (Juniperus osteospermus).
WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC 10
BLM 2920 v3

B-2 is situated at the edge of pinyon-juniper woodland habitat contained in the Great Basin PinyonJuniper Woodland with a moderately open to closed canopy (. Species of vegetation include the sagebrush, ricegrass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), juniper and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla). For about the last 0.5 mile, the access road to B-2 crosses east through a transition zone where the xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland becomes increasingly blended with pinyon pines (Pinus sp.) and juniper trees (Juniperus sp.). B-3 is located within the Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe. This habitat has a relatively high amount of bare ground (approximately 50 percent) and some cover of low sagebrush, Indian ricegrass, and blue grama, the three of which are generally equal in cover (Attachment 3, Figure 6). B-3 is located in an expanse of montane sagebrush steppe habitat surrounded by high rocky cliffs, pinyonjuniper woodland, and xeric mixed sagebrush shrubland. During site visits to the boring locations during September 2020, several special-status species were observed and recorded. Table 3 list the species observed at each boring site and their status. None of the species observed are federally threatened, endangered, or other special status by the Endangered Species Act, but all species are listed as sensitive by the BLM (BLM 2017 1). Table 4-1.

Cultural Resources Overview
A field survey of cultural resources in the Sample Activity area was performed during October and November 2020. Cultural survey to access B-3 is pending. The cultural investigations are consistent with a BLM Class III inventory (including a records search, field survey, and reporting). The Sample Activity area features that underwent cultural field survey include the following: • Existing access roads – 30 feet wide corridors for survey • New access path – 200 feet wide corridors for survey • Drill pad – 300 feet diameter for survey • Test pit – 100 feet diameter for survey Final reports to the BLM for these surveys were submitted in January 2021 and are titled the following: • • •
Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274B) Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for Additional Access Roads (the Southern Access) for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada (BLM Report #8111 NV-04-21-2274D) Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for Access to B-3 (Steptoe Valley Access) for a Geotechnical Investigation in White Pine County, Nevada is pending.
A brief summary of report findings are described below: Five archaeological sites were identified during the survey as well as one isolated item (a projectile point) (Table 5-1). Four of the sites were identified on the west side of the mountain range and one site and the isolated find were on the east side. Sites HDR-GGT-02, -03, -04 and the isolated find are being recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended prior to Sample Activity implementation for these resources. Site HDR-GGT-01 appears to be part of the old Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the U.S. The Lincoln Highway has been previously determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The section of the old Lincoln Highway in the Sample Activity area appears to have been previously graded and likely was once wider than it is now, as evidenced by additional roadbed/disturbed ground on one side of the road. Use of this road will consist of driving on the road and potential road grading. This use is unlikely to alter the current condition of the road and will likely not affect the integrity of this eligible resource. Thus, it is being recommended that no further cultural resources management measures are needed for this road prior to Sample Activity implementation. The final site, 26WP5336, consists of multiple segments of the NNR, which appears to also have been previously determined eligible for the NRHP. Vehicle crossings of the railroad will occur at approved, existing crossings and will require no alterations. As such, it is recommended that the Sample Activity will not affect the integrity of this resource. Therefore, no further cultural resources management consideration is recommended for this resource prior to Sample Activity implementation.

White Pine Waterpower, LLC, Project No. 14851-001 Notice of Joint Meeting with National Park Service
Dear Secretary Bose: Pursuant to section 4.38(c)(6)(iii) of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) regulations, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) hereby notifies the Commission of a joint meeting with the National Park Service (NPS). The meeting will be held on August 2, 2022 from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm both virtually and in person at the White Pine County Aquatics Center in Ely, Nevada. WPW is scheduling the joint meeting to discuss the NPS’s May 18, 2022 request for study dispute resolution 1 regarding the Draft License Application (DLA) filed by WPW for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project, Project No. 14851 (Project). 2 Commission regulations provide for a joint meeting where, as here, a resource agency has indicated a disagreement with a DLA’s conclusions regarding resource impacts or proposed protection, mitigation, or enhancement measures. 3 Although the NPS’s May 18, 2022 letter requested study dispute resolution, WPW maintains that the joint meeting process is applicable at the second stage of the traditional licensing process. 4 Moreover, WPW believes that the joint meeting is the more appropriate mechanism for collaboratively resolving NPS’s concerns and information needs. WPW has previously consulted with NPS on the scheduling of this joint meeting as required by section 4.38(c)(6)(ii) of the Commission’s regulations. Although the Commission’s regulations envision that a joint meeting to resolve disagreements filed by a resource agency on a DLA should be held no later than 60 days from the date of the 1

All components of the proposed anthropogenic disturbance have been analyzed using the HQT, and the calculation of total debits was approved during the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team’s (SETT) Quality Assurance review. The SETT does not require any additional quantifications regarding sage-grouse mitigation. All subsequent phases or newly proposed surface disturbance will require a re-running of the HQT to analyze any additional impacts to sage-grouse habitats. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff if you have any questions or concerns.

On July 15, 2022, White Pine filed a letter stating that it and the Park Service have scheduled a meeting, to be held August 2, 2022, to discuss the Park Service’s concerns.

Background White Pine is using the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) to prepare an application for the project. White Pine held a joint agency and public meeting on September 1, 2020, to discuss the project and study requests. Pursuant to section 4.38(b)(5) of the Commission’s regulations, on November 2, 2020, the Park Service filed a request for White Pine to conduct two studies: (1) a Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) 2 Visitor Use and Experience Study to evaluate the potential effects of the proposed project on NNR visitors and determine the need for mitigation; and (2) a NNR Socioeconomic Study to evaluate the effects of closing and rerouting the NNR track during project construction, and changes in its use due to project operation. The Park Service also requested that White Pine modify its proposed Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study of passenger perspectives. The Park Service stated that the purpose of the modification was to collect data on how the project would affect the aesthetics of the NNR train ride experience. On March 10, 2021, White Pine distributed a study plan to stakeholders for comments or approval of its proposed study methodologies. A copy of the plan has not yet been filed with the Commission. However, on April 8, 2021, the Park Service filed comments on the study plan. In its comments, the Park Service states that while White Pine’s study plan addresses some of the Park Service’s concerns, there are portions that remain unclear or have not been addressed. Therefore, the Park Service recommends certain modifications to White Pine’s proposal to address Park Service’s remaining concerns. Based on information provided in the draft license application, on June 29, 2021, White Pine convened a meeting with the Park Service and representatives of the NNR to discuss the NNR Visitor Use Assessment study. 3 On July 29, 2021, White Pine contacted the Park Service and the NNR regarding the meeting, and the Park Service responded that it would consult with the NNR on the survey. There was no further discussion on the matter and no dispute was referred to the Commission pursuant to section 4.38(b)(6) of the Commission’s regulations. White Pine then conducted its proposed studies in the spring and summer of 2021 and included the results of the 2 The Nevada Northern Railway is a National Historic Landmark that is jointly
owned by the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation.
3 In White Pine’s Draft License Application, filed on February 17, 2022 (eLibrary
Accession No 20220217-5181), White Pine states that no agreement was reached in this meeting regarding questions to be included in the survey and the study was postponed. See Draft License Application, White Pine Pumped Storage Project, Volume 1, Part 2, Exhibit E: Environmental Report, page 162.

Recreational Resources Study, Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, and Socioeconomic Study in its draft license application. In its May 18, 2022 letter requesting dispute resolution, the Park Service asserts that White Pine did not complete the studies in the manner that Park Service requested and that the analyses conducted by White Pine do not provide information necessary to meet the objectives of the Park Service’s study requests. On June 2, 2022, White Pine filed a response to the Park Service’s letter indicating it requested to meet with the Park Service to discuss the concerns that triggered the request, and on July 15, 2022, White Pine filed a letter advising that it has scheduled a joint meeting with the Park Service to be held on August 2, 2022. Discussion The scheduled joint meeting could lead to a resolution of the study dispute. Therefore, prior to making a determination on the dispute resolution request, Commission staff will review the final application, including the information required by sections 4.38(c) and (f) of the Commission’s regulations, to identify whether there are any remaining disagreements on the studies requested by the Park Service. Concurrently, staff will issue a notice that will solicit additional study requests and establish a schedule for processing the application. To the extent any disagreement remains on the studies requested by the Park Service, Commission staff will address the Park Service’s dispute resolution request, along with any additional study requests filed pursuant to section 4.32(b)(7) of the Commission’s regulations. This will allow staff to review a more complete record of information on the studies, including the applicant’s licensing proposal, the results of all pre-filing studies conducted, a complete record of consultation, the applicant’s proposed PM&E measures, and additional information filed by interested parties. After reviewing this information and considering any additional study requests that are filed in response to the tendering notice, Commission staff will address the need for additional studies. On a related matter, White Pine requested in its July 15, 2022 letter that section 4.38(c)(6)(i) of the Commission’s regulations be waived, to allow the joint meeting to be held on August 2, 2022, which is about two weeks beyond the 60-day deadline stipulated by the regulations. White Pine states that a meeting date of August 2, 2022 will better accommodate White Pine’s and the Park Service’s schedules. The request is reasonable, and therefore, is approved.

WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 July 20, 2022 Bureau of Land Management, Bristlecone Field Office Attn: Jared Bybee, Field Manager 702 North Industrial Way Ely, NV 89301 Via Email to: jbybee@blm.gov Re: N-100140 Bore Hole 2 Demobilization & Site Reclamation Report for Follow up Site Visit Dear Mr. Bybee, On October 4, 2021, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) mobilized a contractor to the Bore Hole 2 site location (see Figure 1) to begin geotechnical studies in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Hydro Storage Project. As part of this effort a work pad was cleared for staging of a drilling rig and additional equipment. The contractor completed demobilization from the Bore Hole 2 site location on October 31, 2021. Final reclamation of the cleared area occurred on October 31, 2021, and November 2, 2021. WPW conducted a site inspection of the Bore Hole 2 reclamation site on November 2, 2021 and provided the BLM an inspection report dated November 5, 2021. On June 16, 2022, WPW conducted a follow up site visit to determine the effectiveness of the previous reclamation efforts and seeding. In accordance with the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) (DOI-BLM-NV-L060-2021-0033-EA), and the signed Decision Record (DR) (2920 (NVL0600)N-100140) dated September 3, 2021,, WPW has followed the best management practices referenced in the EA, Section 2.2.7 Demobilization and Reclamation. A follow up site visit was conducted on June 16, 2022, to document and evaluate reclamation efforts of the Bore Hole 2 site location, completed on November 2, 2021. Key observations noted during the Bore Hole 2 site follow up visit included: • Little to no soil erosion had occurred on the site, as of the June 16th site visit, with no persistent/non-persistent litter movement observed (i.e., areas of pedestaling, areas of re-claimed topsoil, and erosion patterns not present). • The re-graded, re-contoured, and resurfaced conditions were visibly present, with little to no degradation of site stability. The percent of bare ground on the site is estimated at >70 percent but is anticipated that high percent of bare ground will decrease over the next few years as vegetation composition and plant vigor increases with time. • During the June 16, 2022, site visit, seed germination had occurred, with perennial grasses in the bolting stage. No perennial grasses exhibited seedhead production. Observed perennial grasses, forbs, and shrubs showed establishment on site, with the presence of Rabbitbrush re-emergence from previous Bore Hole 2 disturbance. Vegetation observed during the site visit, within the reclamation site included: - Great Basin wildrye (Leymus cinereus) (included in applied seed mix) - Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) (included in applied seed mix)
Page 1 of 10
Indian ricegrass (Oryzopsis hymenoides) (included in applied seed mix) Western yarrow (Achillea millefolium) (included in the applied seed mix) Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus ssp.) (volunteer from pre-disturbance) No BLM or state listed noxious/invasive weed species were observed during the site visit. A few isolated annual yellow mustard plants (Sinapis ssp.) were observed along the edges of the reclamation site. No cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) was observed or identified during the site visit.

•
As a result of this follow up site visit and an ocular estimate of vegetation present and plant vigor, the Bore Hole 2 reclamation site was observed to be in the process of meeting the BLM requirements of being satisfactorily reclaimed. Seed germination has occurred, and vegetation establishment and cover are present on the reclamation site. This reclamation follow up and site observations have been done in accordance with the Nevada Guidelines for Successful Revegetation prepared by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (EA Section 2.2.7) per BLM recommendation. This follow up report meets the requirements under EA Section 2.2.7, including submittal to the BLM. We appreciate the partnership and the cooperation the BLM has provided during this initial phase of the geotechnical studies and look forward to working with you through the many phases of the proposed White Pine Pumped Hydro Storage Project. If you have questions regarding this reclamation report, please reach out to Brett Burgess at 307-797-3201 or bburgess@rplusenergies.com.

National Park Service Representatives • Barbara Rice, Program Manager, RTCA and Hydropower Assistance (virtual) • Susan Rosebrough-Jones, Hydropower Team Lead, Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Programs (virtual) • Lilian (Lil) Jonas, Consultant to NPS c. Other Meeting Attendees • James Woolsey, Superintendent, Great Basin National Park • Brandi Roberts, Executive Director, Great Basin Heritage Area Partnership • Mark Basset, President, Nevada Northern Railway • NNR Foundation Board Members John Gianoli, Chairman of the Board Roger Bowers Caroline McIntosh Jim Alworth Carl Marsh, Vice-Chairman (virtual) Bruce Wycoff (virtual) • Marvin Griff, Outside Counsel to NNR • Jared Bybee, Field Manager, Bristlecone Field Office, BLM, Ely District • Nathan Robertson, Mayor, City of Ely • Richard Howe, Commissioner of White Pine County d. Process Statement and Purpose of Meeting Kevin Baker read a statement noting the limited scope and purpose of the meeting to discuss NPS issues regarding three resource studies: Visual and Aesthetic 1
Resources, Recreation Resources, and Socioeconomic Studies. He referenced the relevant FERC regulations and referred attendees to the FERC letter dated July 29, 2022. II.
Overview of White Pine Pumped Storage Project and Licensing Process to Date (presentation attached) Discussion of relevant energy needs and markets. He provided a background of rPlus and overview of pumped storage. He also provided an overview of the Project and its benefits. James Woolsey asked whether energy from the Project would count toward the numbers rPlus described (e.g., the 25 GW renewable energy envisioned for development on BLM lands). rPlus needs clarification from BLM and stated that pumped storage can provide grid stability and resilience for renewables. NNR Counsel Marvin Griff asked how many rPlus projects have been developed. rPlus responded that the White Pine Project is farthest along of all of the rPlus pumped storage projects. In the last 30 years, only 3 new pumped storage projects have been licensed: Gordon Butte, Swan Lake, Eagle Mountain. Discussion about rPlus’ prior decision to move the Project facilities to avoid the need to relocate the NNR HiLine. rPlus described the FERC process and status. One of the participants asked a question regarding FERC’s role versus BLM’s role. rPlus affirmed that FERC is the lead agency and BLM is a cooperating agency. rPlus then provided a description of the Project and showed the video embedded in the presentation. One of the participants asked a question regarding the relationship between the various companies. rPlus responded with a description of the relationship between rPlus Energies and White Pine Waterpower, LLC, which will hold the license for the Project. Marvin Griff asked about the scale and distance of the reservoir to Gonder substation. The distance from Gonder Substation to the proposed lower reservoir is less than one mile, approximately ¾ of a mile measured from the northeast corner of the substation to the closest point of the lower reservoir structure. rPlus explained that Project water conveyance and pump-generator equipment will be constructed underground and will not be visible. The transmission line is adjacent to the existing ROW to Robinson substation.

III.
Discussion of Studies and Information Gathering a. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study rPlus described the work that had been done on the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study. The study included 10 Key Observation Points (KOPs) and showed a map of KOPs relevant to NNR along with the three additional KOPs rPlus is proposing to include. There was a question about where the lower reservoir, switchyard, and some of the other Project features are in relation to the KOPs. rPlus explained that the switchyard is near the tunnel exit and reminded the group that the transformers are in the mountain. There is no reason for the substation to be lit up like the existing Gonder substation and stated that rPlus is committed to no lighting for the outside Project features. There will not be dark skies impact of the Project beyond ligthing already present at existing facilities (e.g., Gonder substation, Titan construction yard). James Woolsey asked about lighting of the lower reservoir for safety, and rPlus stated that it would have a security fence. rPlus is willing to consult with the Dark Skies Rangers and others to accommodate concerns regarding lighting impacts. rPlus is willing to take additional photos and to consult with Dark Skies to further enhance NNR’s Dark Skies initiative. b. Recreation Resources Study rPlus provided a summary of the Recreation Resources Study. He noted that rPlus inventoried existing facilities but could not complete the visitor use assessment. rPlus is committed to performing the visitor use / experience assessment. c. Socioeconomic Study rPlus also provided a summary of the Socioeconomic Study. HDR and Zions conducted separate studies. rPlus is willing to conduct additional socioeconomic impact analyses relating to NNR. rPlus will request access to existing data from NNR, re: HiLine economics, volume of ridership, operating expenses, maintenance costs, and other information to conduct the additional analyses. If any of the data are business sensitive, rPlus will go about getting similar information in a different way.
3
d. Additional Information and Next Steps rPlus concluded the summary of the three studies by noting that for each one, there will be a need for consensus between NPS and rPlus on the timeline for defining additional study work and for providing and accessing additional information. Lil Jonas noted that NPS is looking to see how the Project will affect the NNR experience, especially visual impacts. NPS wants to ensure that FERC has sufficient information and NPS has sufficient information to make a mitigation proposal. She noted that all parties have assumptions and different viewpoints. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Mark Bassett noted where the HiLine train travels up and through the proposed project area and stops farther north on the line for the sunset. He appreciates the focus on the Dark Skies initiative but noted that rPlus needs to look at the viewscapes when sun is shining. He outlined the route. Mark noted that in addition to the Star Train at night, there is also the Sunset Stars and Champagne Train. He also noted that after sunset, the Star Train returns to Star Flats (Star Platform) south of the proposed project area on the HiLine, where NNR put out telescopes. Mark also explained that a Southern Nevada Lands Management grant may open up the Mainline route to McGill. NNR anticipates operating both the Mainline and the HiLine. NNR will follow the Durango to Silverton model. rPlus asked if Mark was suggesting another viewpoint elsewhere, and Mark responded affirmatively. They discussed the possibility of having a KOP from the HiLine looking back toward reservoir and looking to switching station and tunnel. Brandi Roberts observed that the viewpoints are all for when construction is finished and asked if there were any viewpoints during various phases of construction which will last 5-7 years. rPlus reminded everyone that the bulk of construction will be underground. It will be mostly moving dirt and excavating tunnels. Construction of the lower reservoir is limited. rPlus will investigate the specific timeframe. rPlus acknowledged a need to coordinate construction timeframes with NPS and that the construction schedule could potentially be coordinated to account for when the train moves through the area during the day. Marvin Griff asked how much detail the parties would need to discuss with respect to timeframes. He asked how to coordinate with the interests of the railroad. rPlus agreed that today was not the time to discuss the details but acknowledged a need to coordinate and nail down the details. Lil Jonas asked whether construction would reduce the trains going through the area. She wanted to think it through. She observed that the visual simulation would focus on the long-term
4
but would like to see the short-term addressed. She expressed a need for photos from the train. Mark agreed and said NNR will do a special charter for the photographer. Lil Jonas stated that photos may need to be collected at more than one time of day to capture sunset views and full daylight views. She suggested KOPs oriented toward not only the lower reservoir, but also other above-ground project features. She also asked about views of the upper reservoir access road from the star platform. The parties then discussed questions about the access road. rPlus stated that it would likely be a gravel road. The purpose of the road is for getting equipment to the top and for post-construction access. He said there would be minimal visual impact and minimal cut and fill, as turns in the road would be made within the radius. Mark suggested a focus on looking toward West but also East. He stated that what visitors like to see is a view of the mountains toward the East, especially on the sunset trains and day trains as the trains get close to the mountains. Mark asked whether, during the day, the reservoir would be empty. rPlus clarified that it would never be empty and that operations would be variable in response to grid demands. Mark stated that it would be best to do the photosimulations of the reservoir at the lowest operating level. Marvin Griff asked when the road details will be vetted by FERC. rPlus states that the plans are preliminary; rPlus does not have the final design report. But visual impacts will be considered. Mark asked whether the road would be public or gated, and asked how long the road will be. rPlus stated that we recognize that construction will cause impacts and that rPlus is trying to minimize negative impacts as much as possible. Brandi Roberts asked a question regarding whether the lower reservoir needs to be open, or if it will be covered to reduce evaporation. rPlus stated that there are products available to cover reservoirs. Evaporation is an issue with the reservoir but it is expected to be minimal. Marvin Griff asked how rPlus knows it will be minimal. rPlus responded that the expectation is based on an evaluation of existing reservoirs. Marvin Griff countered that rPlus does not yet know the extent of use of the lower reservoir and upper reservoir and how much evaporation will occur. Lil Jonas stated that if there is a high potential for evaporation and the reservoir might be covered, NPS would want to capture that in the simulation, but if not, that may not be an issue. rPlus observed that it sounded like there was agreement on the additional KOP locations and that rPlus would work with NNR on establishing those. rPlus asked how much advanced notice NNR needed for taking the photos. Mark responded that a week or so would be sufficient. He would like to mimic the morning train, which runs 9:30 – 11:00, and the Star Train, which leaves at 7:00pm. Lil Jonas asked when the Mainline will be open, and Mark stated that it depends on when BLM releases funds. He stated that the moment the funds are released, the NNR is looking at 9 months construction. 5
Commissioner Richard Howe, White Pine County, expressed his support for the Project, which he noted will be a multi-year project that will boost the economy. He stated that the reason BLM hasn’t released funds for the McGill line is a disagreement on who owns lands. He noted that there is certain criteria for the use of funds under the Southern Nevada Land Management Act (SNLA) and there are different opinions regarding who owns lands. He noted that the County supports the Mainline improvements, and the County supports the Project. He stated that we can talk about evaporation, but passengers are looking at features around them. The Project will be an enhancement to the rider. The County wants to avoid the area becoming a ghost town. rPlus committed to marking up a map, circulating it for agreement, and making plans with NNR to coordinate taking photographs for use in simulations. Lil Jonas noted that NPS will want to use photosimulations in the Recreation Study. She committed NPS to returning the map within a week. rPlus’ goal of filing the FLA within 3-6 months. He stated that rPlus needs to include in the FLA responses to NPS comments on the DLA, including additional information related to the three studies discussed today. The discussion then shifted to the Recreation Study. Recreation Resources Study Lil Jonas noted that the visitor assessment should involve having passengers look at photos and answering survey questions, which will involve work with NPS. rPlus asked what Lil Jonas thought would work for NPS. Lil Jonas said she almost envisioned two questionnaires, as she does not think passengers will want to spend too much time on it and does not want to tax people too much on the train. She noted that NPS might be able to provide draft questions with the photos and that it may be an iterative process. The NPS Social Science team would be able to review the questions for bias. rPlus asked if we could agree to implement the survey soon. Mark noted that the trains start tapering down after Labor Day weekend. Roger Bowers said the last scheduled Star Train and Sunset Stars and Champagne Train are September 16 and 17. Mark said that the general visitor questionnaire could be administered at the Depot while passengers are waiting to board the train. We discussed the photosimulation questionnaire that could be administered on the train while stopped for the sunset. rPlus suggested a week before and a week after Labor Day and asked if that schedule was feasible. The participants then discussed the timing of the surveys. 6
rPlus noted that if the Social Science Team reviewed the visitor survey questions, we would need to work together – weekly – to finalize the survey. Mark asked how large a sample size rPlus would like. NPS said that typically, some surveys are conducted off-season, and some in-season. Mark noted that the NNR demographic changes with the season. Summer is more family oriented. Nancy Craig stated that the new KOPs could be simulated by August 18 on an optimistic schedule. We then had a brief discussion clarifying land ownership and the Mainline. For the Mainline into McGill, the land is owned by the City. BLM said about the HiLine, the underlying land is BLM with several easements in the vicinity, including the NNR’s easement for the railroad track for use by tourism trains. For the Mainline, Mark stated that no permitting is required because all the work is within the existing ROW. Lil Jonas added that the community of McGill is preparing for it. Mark said that the restoration of the Mainline is considered a maintenance project. Socioeconomic Study We had a brief discussion of the information needs from NNR for the socioeconomic study. Mark stated that NNR is willing to provide the information. Summary and Timing • • • •
rPlus will develop new KOPs. rPlus will develop visitor surveys to be administered the week before and week after Labor Day if possible. Lil Jonas and NPS will provide example survey questions for use with the photosimulations. rPlus will submit a request to NNR describing information needs for the Socioeconomic Study and Mark is willing to provide the information.
rPlus would like to come to resolution on the information gathering. If the additional information cannot be obtained/analyzed prior to the FLA, rPlus will come up with a plan. We discussed that if needed, we could supplement the FLA. Lil Jonas stated that FERC would likely hold off on its environmental analysis of the Project until after all information was submitted. Julia Wood stated that rPlus would prefer to provide sufficient information such that the NEPA process not be held up pending the information. Additional Points 7
BLM spoke up regarding the nexus with FERC. The NEPA process will be led by FERC. BLM will be a cooperating agency. BLM will issue a ROW and the FERC NEPA document will be broad enough to include BLM’s analysis. Mark asked whether the road would require a separate NEPA document. BLM stated that the road will become part of the ROW grant. Brandi Roberts asked whether FERC’s NEPA analysis will include National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 consultation and rPlus believed that it would. Another participant asked for clarification regarding whether there are competing ROWs. BLM clarified that the ROW is in an energy corridor and there are many ROW holders in the area. None of the ROWs are exclusive. Marvin Griff stated that the road issue seemed significant and asked if the road was a gating issue. rPlus stated that it was not. Marvin Griff asked if the same time pressures that exist on the collection of photos and visitor surveys exist on the road issue. rPlus stated that the same time pressures exist for the road. The meeting ended at approximately 12:30 pm local time.

Good morning Julia, I reviewed the proposed Key Observation Points (KOPs) with Mark Bassett and Marvin Griff via video conference call and made several adjustments based on that call. In terms of proposed KOP locations, we agree with the location of all except one Mainline Potential KOP, which we believe should be moved north along the track. We also request the addition of one more Mainline and one more HiLine KOP location. Please see the attached revised “Potential KOP Additions_edited” document. In it, I included the additional KOP locations (red dots) and direction that the photos should be taken at all KOP locations (red arrows). Due to the potential of the Project affecting a large portion of the view from the train at many locations, both single-frame and a panoramic photosimulations are need for most KOPs. As outlined in Evaluating Photosimulations for Visual Impact Assessment (Sullivan et al., 2021),* a panoramic view is created by taking overlapping photos of the landscape then stitching them back together on the computer. The photographer would thus need to take multiple photographs at most of the KOPs, capturing the location of proposed Project facilities from various viewpoints from the train. In some cases, proposed Project facilities would be visible from all directions from the train, making it necessary to photographs all directions and creating several panoramic views.The photographs at each location should be taken in the morning and then in the late afternoon/sunset to match train operations (roughly between 9:30am and 11:00am and 7:15pm and 10:30 pm). Additional nighttime photos may be necessary, such as in the direction of the tunnel opening with the photosimulation showing motion sensor lighting. The recreation study would likely use single-frame photosimulations in the visitor intercept surveys. Stakeholders and the Project consultant should discuss and evaluate all the photos taken, and then chose a set of photos from the KOPs to use in the visitor intercept surveys. The goal would be to include photosimulations in the survey that show the greatest impact to the landscape using the “typical worst-case visibility scenario,” such as when the lower reservoir is empty. The NPS understands that producing high-quality photosimulations is expensive and timeconsuming; however, enough views of the project from different KOPs must be provided to assist FERC in making an informed decision about the range of project impacts. They are also necessary for identifying mitigation measures intended to minimize adverse visual impacts. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me,

Please see the attached tweaks to the proposed KOP additions you sent this morning. A few notes: 1. We have serialized each “Potential KOP” so that they can be more easily referenced for discussion. 2. The photos will be taken with a 14mm lens to provide an adequate overlap of the images to enable them to be “stitched” together for a panorama-type photosimulation. The pictures also need to comply with BLM guidance that recommends a 24mm lens. To do so, each photo angle will be taken utilizing both a 14mm and a 24mm lens. The 24mm shots will be for single frame pictures and the 14mm lens will be used for the panorama-type photosimulation. 3. Due to camera equipment limitations, the photosimulations for Potential KOP #16 and #17 will be achieved by creating two 180-degree photos for each Potential KOP (i.e. 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock); one facing due east and one facing due west. 4. For similar reasons as item 3. above, Potential KOP #18 needs to be adjusted to an 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock position such that a 180-degree photosimulation will be created facing directly toward a 2 o’clock camera angle. Please confirm that these minor adjustments to the maps are acceptable to NPS. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

Hello Julia I now realize that I made a mistake – I thought Marvin said he sent you a note about one additional edit on the KOP map, but I reread his email and he suggested that I should send you a note regarding that change. To recap: I emailed you on August 9 requesting to include a view between 6 o’clock and 7 o’clock for Mainline KOP 18 to capture the wellfield when looking south. I meant to ask that KOP 18 should cover the 5-7 o’clock view (along with the 11-5 o’clock view), which is based on input from Mark and Marvin. We could call this KOP 19 since it’s at the same location as KOP 18 but involves a different view: KOP 18 = 5-7 o’clock view and KOP 19 = 11-5 o’clock KOP view. I’m attaching the KOP map with this edit (arrows and text in blue). I will been working with NNR on the recreation questionnaire that is attached to the FERC letter this afternoon. We need to get that done by tomorrow since both Mark and I are going to be headed out of town starting the end of this week. I have been working with Mark and Marvin and incorporating their input in what I’ll be sending you. I apologize for all the delays – everyone, including myself, is a bit busy these days, but getting the FERC letter and revised recreation questionnaire back to you by tomorrow is my top priority before I leave.

In terms of proposed KOP locations, we agree with the location of all except one Mainline Potential KOP, which we believe should be moved north along the track. We also request the addition of one more Mainline and one more HiLine KOP location. Please see the attached revised “Potential KOP Additions_edited” document. In it, I included the additional KOP locations (red dots) and direction that the photos should be taken at all KOP locations (red arrows). Due to the potential of the Project affecting a large portion of the view from the train at many locations, both single-frame and a panoramic photosimulations are need for most KOPs. As outlined in Evaluating Photosimulations for Visual Impact Assessment (Sullivan et al., 2021),* a panoramic view is created by taking overlapping photos of the landscape then stitching them back together on the computer. The photographer would thus need to take multiple photographs at most of the
KOPs, capturing the location of proposed Project facilities from various viewpoints from the train. In some cases, proposed Project facilities would be visible from all directions from the train, making it necessary to photographs all directions and creating several panoramic views. The photographs at each location should be taken in the morning and then in the late afternoon/sunset to match train operations (roughly between 9:30am and 11:00am and 7:15pm and 10:30 pm). Additional nighttime photos may be necessary, such as in the direction of the tunnel opening with the photosimulation showing motion sensor lighting. The recreation study would likely use single-frame photosimulations in the visitor intercept surveys. Stakeholders and the Project consultant should discuss and evaluate all the photos taken, and then chose a set of photos from the KOPs to use in the visitor intercept surveys. The goal would be to include photosimulations in the survey that show the greatest impact to the landscape using the “typical worst-case visibility scenario,” such as when the lower reservoir is empty. The NPS understands that producing high-quality photosimulations is expensive and timeconsuming; however, enough views of the project from different KOPs must be provided to assist FERC in making an informed decision about the range of project impacts. They are also necessary for identifying mitigation measures intended to minimize adverse visual impacts. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me, Lil Lilian M.

It is illegal to access private railroad property anywhere other than a designated pedestrian or roadway crossing. While it is true that the Nevada Northern Railway track is in a BLM right-ofway on the HiLine, the track itself is jointly owned by the City of Ely and the Nevada Northern Railway Foundation and is operated in accordance with rules and regulations of the Federal Railroad Administration, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission and the Foundation’s rule book, which is based on the requirements of those governing authorities. Permission to access the railroad track footprint that is owned by the City of Ely and the Foundation, by either rPlus Energy or any of its contractors, must first be received from either myself or the railroad’s Superintendent, Angela Stevens. Once we determine that access to the track will not interfere with our train operations, the track will be closed to all rail movements. Once the track is closed, you or your contractors will be allowed access to the track footprint. This will ensure that you can enter the track footprint in a safe manner. The track footprint is defined as an area that is ten feet from the outside of the rails of the track and the space between the rails. That means the track footprint is twenty-four feet, eight and one-half inches wide or twelve feet, four and one-quarter inches from the track's centerline on either side of the centerline. I confess, I am surprised that you chose to access an active railroad track without communicating with me, before placing your equipment on the track. I understand that you were at the East Ely Depot, the day before the above incident took place. At that time, I was in my office and would have met with you. If you had contacted me, I would have made arrangements for you to enter the track footprint safely, with an appropriate on-track safety procedure as required by the governing authorities. As I stated in our telephone conversation, when you were confronted by the railroad’s track inspectors, I have no objection to rPlus Energy taking pictures of the area from the railroad track. My objection was that rPlus Energy had their employees on an active railroad track without permission, THEREBY RAISING SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. When the track inspectors came upon you, you delayed a train. Under our rules: a train is defined as an engine, with or without cars, hi-rail vehicle, MOW equipment, speeder or handcar, operating under timetable or train order authority with a track warrant. The hi-rail
that was inspecting the track was a train. By being on the track, and stopping the hi-rail, you violated NRS 705.450 - Penalty for willful obstruction or delay of train. Every person who shall willfully obstruct, hinder or delay the passage of any car lawfully operated upon any railway shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. All of this could have been avoided, if you had communicated with me, when you were at the railroad on August 11th. Relatedly, I did receive your phone message on August 15 at 5:15 pm requesting that the Foundation provide a train as we agreed to at the August 2nd meeting. In making the offer to rPlus Energy and the National Park Service, you might recall I offered a train, among other reasons, so the photographs could be taken from the vantage point of the train with seven days’ notice. The cost to charter a special train as the one the Foundation is offering rPlus Energy is $1,495 for a 2.5-hour trip. The Foundation is waiving this price, because we believe it is very important that the photographic study be done from the perspective of our passengers. In our phone conversation on August 12, you said that you would like to schedule the train on August 18 for photographs and that you would be sending me an email confirming that request. On August 15, the Superintendent and I scheduled trains and crews for the railroad through September 1, 2022. Before scheduling, I checked my email to see if there was an email from you. There was no such email. Our schedules have now been set through September 1st. Our earliest availability to schedule your use of a train for the purposes of taking the photographs is September 8, 2022. Sincerely, Mark S. Bassett President, Nevada Northern Railway Direct: (775) 289-0103 Depot: 1100 Avenue A, Ely Nevada • Mail: PO Box 150040, Ely NV 89315

Mr. Bassett, I hope this email finds you well. I’m following up to the voicemail messages I left for you Friday, yesterday, and today. Thank you for the information and caution provided on Friday morning as we were taking the baseline pictures for the photo-simulations. I’m grateful that Ben was coincidentally conducting his maintenance inspections at about the same time, and that the rail was shut down in support of those activities. In the future we will ensure that any activities we conduct in the vicinity of the rail line will be at least six feet away from the closest rail, or we will submit the appropriate request form for the NNRY dispatch to schedule an outage of the affected line. During our August 2nd meeting, you graciously offered to provide an opportunity for rPlus to take pictures from a rail car as a part of developing the photo-simulations of the White Pine Pumped Storage project facilities that may be in the vicinity of the railroad right of way. Ms. Jonas has indicated that NPS requests that “photographs at each location should be taken in the morning and then in the late afternoon/sunset to match train operations (roughly between 9:30am and 11:00am and 7:15pm and 10:30 pm).” As such, and as we discussed on Friday, rPlus requests that NNRY provide the support necessary so that the evening pictures can be taken from a rail car on the HiLine on Thursday, August 18th after the Ely City Council meeting, and/or between 7:30 and 10:30 pm. If this time is inconvenient, then please suggest an alternative time and date that would work better for you and the NNRY.

This sender is trusted.
Hello Julia, Please find attached an edited version of the joint meeting letter that White Pine Power, LLC intends to file with FERC. Please note the following types of edits made in the attached document. Main Body of Letter (first two pages): I made edits using track changes. Attachment A: The KOP map needs to be updated based on the edits I sent to you on 8/16/2022 Attachment B: I made several revisions in the document and sorted the questions into groups (e.g., questions on Respondent’s demographic characteristics, questions on Trip Planning, questions on Trip Purpose, and so on). Since I made several moves as well as changed/added certain questions, the revised questionnaire does not contain track changes (otherwise, it would be too confusing to read). Attachment C: I worked with Mark Bassett at NNR to determine availability and confidentiality of the socioeconomic data requested. I incorporated his response/comments using track changes. Check with Mr. Bassett if any clarifications are needed. I would like to respond to the notes that you sent me in an email dated August 8, 2022, specifically note #2, which reads: 2. The photos will be taken with a 14mm lens to provide an adequate overlap of the images to enable them to be “stitched” together for a panorama-type photosimulation. The pictures also need to comply with BLM guidance that recommends a 24mm lens. To do so, each photo angle will be taken utilizing both a 14mm and a 24mm lens. The 24mm shots will be for single frame pictures and the 14mm lens will be used for the panorama-type photosimulation. The use of a 50mm equivalent focal length (EFL) lens for photosimulation base photographs is accepted professional practice in the United States. I understand the desire to comply with BLM guidance set forth in their Visual Resource Management (VRM) program. However, the purpose of the photosimulations for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project licensing effort is not confined by BLM VRM guidelines since they are intended for a visitor intercept survey as part of an NPSrequested recreation study. As such, they need to follow NPS guidance, specifically Evaluating Photosimulations for Visual Impact Assessment (Sullivan,, Meyer, and Palmer 2021). It is also worth noting that BLM guidance that I could find on camera lenses for photosimulations calls for 50mm EFL lenses. On page 33 in Visual Resource Management: Visual Simulations Techniques (BLM 1980), suggested equipment for photosimulations included “camera, 50mm lens (little distortion).” On page 130 in Best Management Practices for Reducing Visual Impacts of Renewable Energy Facilities
on BLM-Administered Lands (BLM 2013), which is cited in the Visual and Aesthetics Resource Study Report in the Draft License Application, is a photosimulation rendering of a proposed energy project on BLM-administered lands that utilized a 50mm lens. The NPS expects that the result of the photosimulations created for the KOPs along the HiLine and Main Line would look similar to this example. I will be available on Thursday (August 18) to answer any questions you may have. I am then headed out of town on Friday and will be unavailable until August 29. Lil Lilian M.

White Pine Waterpower, LLC Joint Meeting with National Park Service August 2, 2022 Ely, Nevada REPORT REFLECTING AGREEMENT BETWEEN WHITE PINE WATERPOWER, LLC AND NATIONAL PARK SERVICE I.
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) and the National Park Service (NPS) agree that additional photographs from Key Observation Points (KOPs), beyond the 10 KOPs included in the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report, would provide additional information for the evaluation of Project impacts on visual and aesthetic resources. WPW and NPS discussed potential locations for the additional KOP’s and agreed to collaborate further on finalizing these locations and on certain other details regarding the photographs, such as time-of-day for the photographs to be taken, the direction of the photos, the appropriateness of single-frame or panoramic views, and lens equivalent focal length. Subsequent to the joint meeting, WPW and NPS agreed to the location of 10 additional KOPs reflected on the map appended hereto as Attachment A, along with certain other photograph-related characteristics.. WPW and NPS agree that WPW will coordinate with the Nevada National Railway (NNR), which expressed its willingness at the joint meeting to collaborate with WPW so as to enable them, to take photographs from the additional KOPs for use in photosimulations. These photographs would be taken from a train to ensure that the view from the perspective of train passengers would be captured. II.
Recreation Resources Study
WPW and NPS agree that conducting Visitor Use and/ Experience Assessments of NNR passengers will provide additional information for the evaluation of Project impacts on recreation resources. Two types of questionnaires will be developed for the Assessment: a general visitor questionnaire and a photosimulation questionnaire. WPW and NPS agree that WPW will develop a general visitor questionnaire and photosimulation questionnaire in consultation with NPS;, with the goal of administering the surveys the week before and week after Labor Day if possible. WPW’s draft general visitor questionnaire, provided to NPS on August 9, 2022, is appended hereto as Attachment B. NPS agreed to review the draft questionnaire and provided feedback to WPW on August 17, 2022. After the photosimulations are completed, WPW will coordinate with NPS to select which photosimulations to use in the photosimulation questionnaire, format of the questionnaire, what questions to ask, and to determine appropriate locations, techniques, and times to deliver completed questionnaires. WPW’s goal is to administer surveys the week before and week after Labor Day, if possible. The seasonal nature of train rides was also discussed
Commented [JLM1]: Need to update to include the most recent edit I emailed to Julia on 8/16/2022.
at the Joint Meeting, reflecting the necessity of administering surveys throughout the year. WPW and NPS agree to the need to coordinate with NNR during survey development and implementation. III.
Socioeconomic Study
WPW and NPS agree that obtaining socioeconomic information relating to the NNR will provide additional information for the evaluation of Project impacts on socioeconomic resources. WPW and NPS agree that WPW will submit a request to NNR describing WPW’s information needs for supplementing the Socioeconomic Study Report. NNR expressed willingness at the joint meeting to provide the requested information. WPW’s information request, provided to WPW and NNR on August 9, 2022, is appended hereto as Attachment C.

Commented [JLM3]: We discussed that this questionnaire would be delivered at the train depot while the photosimulation/experience surveys would be delivered on HiLine trains. Not all visitors to the depot take train rides, and all those who take train rides do not take HiLine train rides. Visitors are not likely to know if they took a HiLine train, so it would be better to ask which train ride they took/plan to take (see question 13b). While the NPS-requested study is primarily focused on passengers on the Hi Line, it is worthwhile to gather data on all visitors to Northern Nevada Railway for comparison purposes. If we only wanted HiLine passengers to complete the survey, we would then begin the survey with Question #13 and only continue interviewing visitors who said they took HiLine train rides.
15. Would you consider taking an NNR train ride again? Yes, likely No, unlikely Not Sure Why or why not? ____________________________________________ 16. Regarding train rides in general…

ATTACHMENT C
White Pine Pumped Storage Project Potential Additional Socioeconomic Impact Study Analysis of Economic Impacts on Nevada Northern Railroad (NNR) Data and Information Request August 9, 2022 To conduct the socioeconomic study as requested by the National Park Service, White Pine Water Power, LLC would like to request the following information from NNR: • Annual reports and financial statements; last 5 years – This type of information can be found in NNR’s IRS 1099 (record of finances), which is a public document. • NNR employment; last 5 years – NNR agrees to provide this information. • NNR revenues, by category of source; last 5 years - This type of information can be found in NNR’s IRS 1099, which is a public document) • NNR ridership, visitor volumes, by attraction (i.e., train theme) and branch line; all available information 2015-present – While NNR has this type of information, it is not in a readily accessible format. It would involve roughly 30-40 hours of work by someone familiar with the data format (spreadsheets) to sort out the requested information. Mark suggested the possibly of compensating the NNR Foundation to have a worker at the railway who understands the data to pull out what is requested. • NNR operating expenditures (excluding labor), by category (e.g., supplies, services); last 5 years - This type of information can be found in NNR’s IRS 990, which is a public document) • Any projections for future NNR revenue, visitor volumes, new themes and routes, and bases of the projections, for example - the business case for opening the Mainline -The NNR does not have such projections. • Studies of demand for NNR attractions completed in the last 5 years – The NNR does not know of such studies. • Any information NNR has on visitors’ characteristics such as age, income level, number of people in the travel party, share of local visitors versus share of visitors from other counties and other states, share of visits by NNR members, number of visits to NNR, participation in NNR attractions, other attractions visited in White Pine County, number of days spent in the City of Ely, amount of expenditures in Ely, etc. Note: The planned visitor use assessment questionnaire can also capture this information. - NNR does not currently have this information. The general visitor questionnaire should provide this information.

CAUTION: [EXTERNAL] This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Ms. Cobb, Thank you for the invitation, and please let Mayor Robertson know that we truly appreciated the opportunity to present an update on the White Pine Pumped Storage Project at the Ely City Council Meeting on Thursday, August 18, 2022. I hope the information provided was informative and helpful. As mentioned during the presentation, and in response to a question that was asked, please find attached a map showing the list of the pumped storage projects in the U.S., their relative location, and capacity. As you can see, other than three relatively small projects in Arizona, there are no pumped storage projects in the western U.S. intermountain region (including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico), the upper plains region (including North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Kansas), and in Texas. As such, we believe that rPlus Hydro is uniquely positioned to provide pumped storage hydro as a viable and natural energy storage technology that will enhance and ensure grid reliability while enabling renewable energy generation development across the entire western U.S. As mentioned during our June 9th presentation, this is consistent with, and supportive of, the strategic energy policy goals of both Nevada and the U.S. We look forward to an opportunity to update the City Council on our further progress sometime in the next couple of months. Again, thank you for the opportunity to provide this information. Take great care, Greg Copeland | Program Manager, Hydro 801-759-2223 | www.rplushydro.com

As we discussed, rPlus Hydro will use the process you outlined below to access the rail for obtaining photos related to supplementing the visual and aesthetics study. Further to our conversation, you indicated that pictures to be taken from the train should be from the flatcar and from a rider height. Further, you indicated that the caboose will not be required to accompany such a train deployed for this purpose and that, as such, any pictures taken directed toward the rear of the train should not be obstructed by the caboose. Again, thanks for this clarification. As mentioned previously, rPlus Hydro remains committed to working with you and your team to accomplish the taking of these photos in a safe manner. Your continued assistance in this regard is greatly appreciated. Take great care, Greg Copeland | Program Manager, Hydro 801-759-2223 | www.rplushydro.com

This request is not consistent with the process you described below, however it’s only related to accessing the mainline, which such mainline I believe to be currently out of service. As such, rPlus would like to secure pictures from the mainline between 7:30 and 10:30 tomorrow evening, Thursday, August 25th. This includes the potential KOP locations 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20. The pictures will be taken from a tripod positioned on top of a table such that the height of the camera will be approximately the same as the rider’s height. These pictures are in addition to the pictures that will be taken from the train on August 31st and September 1st.
Please let me know if this request is unacceptable and unreasonable and we will plan for completing this work at another more convenient time. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Take great care,

Mr. Copeland, rPlus can access the mainline and only the mainline between 7:30 and 10:30 this evening, Thursday, August 25th. I appreciate that you asked permission before getting on the track, While it's true that the track is currently out-of-service, unlike the HiLine, the mainline is jointly owned by the City of Ely and the Foundation as real property and is not a BLM rightof*way.

Shortly thereafter is Labor Day weekend and we will be busy. I can schedule the trains you requested as follows: • 7:30 to 10:30 pm PT on Wednesday, September 7, 2022 for pictures from the train on or about the potential KOP locations for both the mainline and the HiLine rail line. • 9:00 to 11:30 am PT on Thursday, September 8, 2022 for pictures from the train on or about the same potential KOP locations for both the mainline and the HiLine rail line.

I don't have my notes with me on the map, so I will review that when I am back in the office on August 31. Additionally, I would like the NPS to weigh in on the taking of the photos and the KOPs.I think that would be prudent before the photos are actually taken. The Foundation is providing these two trains at no cost to rPlus for the photography work. If additional trains are needed, I will need to charge for those trains. That said, I feel it's important that all parties are in agreement as to the parameters before the trains depart so additional trains are not needed. Sincerely, Mark Mark S.

Following our last call, White Pine Waterpower (WPW) consulted further with its visual resource experts. To accommodate NPS’s interest in using a 50mm lens, WPW determined that the photos will be taken with both a 50mm and a 24mm lens. Once the photos are taken, WPW will work with NPS to determine which photos to use for the photo-simulations. The WPW team is flexible to leave as earlier as necessary to ensure the sunset is captured – whether that’s 5:00, 6:00, or earlier. Please confirm that NNR is willing to have the train leave earlier. Please also confirm that the train can access the KOP locations on both the mainline and HiLine rails. We are ready and willing to work with NPS on this. WPW needs to ensure that there is sufficient time at each stop for the photos. Each of the photo stops may take 30-45 minutes. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

I believe the KOPs are what we agreed upon. My concern is in regard to our afternoon call on August 18 and our discussion on the camera lens to be used when taking the photos for the photosimulations. You stated that your contractor putting together the photosimulations was adamant that using the 24mm lens was standard protocol, notwithstanding my comments to the contrary, which I explained are based on the NPS’s guidance that says a 50mm lens is the industry standard. In an attempt to resolve this issue, we agreed that your contractor would provide a brief statement explaining their reasoning behind wanting to use a 24mm lens that I could share with NPS staff to determine if such reasoning is acceptable. I have not seen such a statement from your contractor. This is an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately because it affects whether you and Mark Bassett should proceed with finalization of the train scheduling for next week. My other concern is the timing of the evening train on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, which is tentatively scheduled for 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm PT (subject to acceptable and timely resolution of the lens issue). Two weeks ago (August 19), I was fortunate to ride the Star Train, which departed the depot at 7:15 pm. The following day, I rode the Sunset, Stars, and Champagne train, which departed at 6:45 pm. The sunset in Ely was around 7:30 pm on those days. The departure of these trains is adjusted throughout the season to ensure that trains leave the depot when it is still light outside, and the passengers are able to see the sunset. Earlier in the season, the trains depart well before the sun sets. On September 7, the sun will set around 7:00 pm in Ely, which means that it will be completely dark when the photos would be taken along the KOPs. These photos would thus not represent what passengers on the train would experience when they leave the depot and head towards and past the Project boundary. In order to address this problem, I recommend that the evening train leave earlier so photos can be taken at the KOPs around sunset as the train heads north, away from the train depot. Additional photos can be taken as the train heads back south to the depot to capture the night/dark sky view. Respectfully, Lil Jonas Lilian M. Jonas, PhD Jonas Consulting (541) 441-5045

We concluded that the train should leave the depot at 4:30pm in order to take photos at KOPs 16 and 17 at around sunset, with the sun setting around 7:00 pm. These are the two KOPs that would likely have the most visual impacts and the locations are generally reached at around sunset during much of the summer season when the astrotourism trains are operated. According to Mark, it would take roughly an hour to reach KOP 17 from the depot, resulting in the photo-team setting up to take the photos at 5:30pm at that location. Allowing an additional 15 minutes for that first set up, the photo-team would start taking their first photos around 5:45. You mentioned that it would take roughly 30-45 minutes at each location to take the photos, which means the train would be ready to head to KOP 16 at 6:15-6:30pm. Given the 5-10 minutes needed to move the train to the next location, the photo-team would start taking the KOP 16 photos right around sunset and conclude after the sun has set. This schedule is a rough estimate and will probably be adjusted during the train ride: the main goal is to take photographs at KOPs 16 and 17 around sunset (one just before and one during/after). Mark and I agreed that there is no need to take photos at KOP 4 during the evening train since passengers would see this location when the sun is shining, and daytime photos will be taken at KOP 4 during the morning train scheduled for September 8. We also agreed that once the photos are taken at KOP 16, it may be too dark to see any project features if the train continued to KOP 12; however, a final decision on whether to continue to KOP 14 can be made after the KOP 16 photos are completed based on available light. It is our understanding that there would be minimal lighting at the above-ground Project facilities, and that any needed lighting would follow standard protocol to reduce impacts to dark skies. While there would likely be some impact to the train passengers’ view, it would not be as intense as when the train passes through the Project area at around sunset. We thus believe that it is unnecessary to take the photosimulations at the KOPs after dusk, with the exception of KOP 5. As the train heads back to the depot after taking photos at KOPs 16 and 17, and possibly KOP 14, it should stop at KOP 5 and allow the photo-team off the train at the Star Platform to take photos at that location. In short, Mark and I agree on the following for the Wednesday, September 7 evening train on the HiLine:
• The train should leave the depot at 4:30pm. • Photos should be taken at KOP 16 and 17 at around sunset. • A decision should be made if the train should proceed to KOP 14 based on available lighting. • Photos should be taken at KOP 5 as the train heads back to the depot. These photos should be taken on the Star Platform. Timing is not critical for the Thursday (September 8) train on the HiLine since all the photos are to be taken during daylight hours, although Mark suggested that leaving at 8:30 am might be better. All six KOPs identified along the HiLine on the map would be photographed during the Thursday trip, and KOP 5 should be photographed from the train (like all the other KOPs) instead the Star Platform. As for the KOPs on the Mainline, trains are not currently operating on this track so the photos cannot be taken from a train at this time. Mark mentioned that he is O.K. with the photo-team taking the photos from the tracks, similar to what was being done a few weeks ago. We just need to make sure that the photo-team obtains appropriate permission to be on the Mainline tracks at the time the photos are taken. Nighttime/evening photos are not necessary for the Mainline since it is anticipated that the trains would mainly run during daylight hours. It is thus up to the photo-team to determine if they want to take the photos on Wednesday morning prior to the evening HiLine photoshoot, or Thursday afternoon after the morning HiLine photoshoot. I believe either if fine as long as the photo-team coordinates with Mark. One last question. How will the photo-team determine the location of the KOPs? Will they rely on GPS, or will the locations be marked/staked ahead of time? Trains cannot stop on a dime, so the engineer needs to know ahead of time the appropriate place to stop. Since Mark will be the engineer on both trips, the photo-team should coordinate with him on identifying the KOP locations. I hope that the above schedule is acceptable to the photo-team. If you have any questions or if something is unclear, please let me know. Otherwise, all scheduling questions should be directed to Mark since he is the one putting together the trains for the photoshoots. Respectfully, Lil Lilian M.

Lil, I am confirming on behalf of the WPW team, that: The team will use GPS coordinates for determining the KOPs (see attached list of coordinates, along with the previously-circulated map); The WPW team will be ready for the train to leave the depot at 4:30 pm Wednesday; Photos at KOP 16 and 17 will be taken around sunset; The WPW team will determine in the field – in consultation with Mark – whether to continue to KOP 14 based on available lighting; Photos at KOP 5 will be taken as the train heads back to the depot from the Star Platform; The WPW team will be ready to leave the depot at 8:30 am Thursday; and The six KOPs identified along the HiLine on the map will be photographed during the Thursday trip, with KOP 5 (like the other KOPs) photographed from the train instead of the Star Platform. WPW would like to take the photos for the KOPs on the Mainline on Thursday after the morning train ride. With this email, WPW formally requests the appropriate permission to be on the tracks after the Thursday morning train ride to do so. The team will coordinate with Mark on Thursday, but please let us know if further inquiry or coordination is necessary before Thursday to take those photos. Finally, we are confirming once again that the WPW team will take the photos using both a 50 mm and a 24 mm lens. That way there will be an abundance of pictures to review. For the 24 mm lens, the WPW team will take the photos with a 30-degree interval. With the 50 mm lens, the WPW team will take the photos with a 20-degree interval to ensure there is enough overlap to allow for potential photo-simulation images to be compiled. We sincerely appreciate your assistance in facilitating the coordination necessary for WPW to take these photos. If there are any other loose ends we should confirm/coordinate before the WPW team arrives in Ely – or any other lingering issues we should discuss now or when the team is on the ground – please let me know.

White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 September XX, 2022 Mr. Jon Raby State Director Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Office 1340 Financial Blvd. Reno, NV 89502 jraby@blm.gov Via email to: jraby@blm.gov RE: Request for Initiation of a Greater Sage Grouse Technical Working Group for a Project Specific RMP/ARMPA Amendment Dear Mr. Raby, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is pursuing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt offstream, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new water reservoirs joined by conduit tunnels, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The pumped storage facilities will be on BLM jurisdictional land administered by the BLM Bristlecone office and will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water to initially fill the reservoir system and required make-up water for evaporation losses will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. The proposed 28-mile long 345 kV transmission line is located within a designated energy corridor included in the West-Wide Energy Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The proposed transmission line parallels an existing transmission line in this corridor. In 2019, Nevada passed a law requiring at least 50% renewable energy sourcing by 2030, and for the state to be 100% carbon-free by 2050. In November 2020 this requirement was added to the Nevada State Constitution. In December 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order that directs the federal government to achieve 100% carbon pollution-free electricity use by 2030. In addition, the Nevada BLM office has developed bold land use planning goals for renewable energy on federal lands administered by the BLM. Nevada will need large amounts of energy storage to effectively manage the massive amount of new renewable energy that will be necessary to meet these sourcing requirements. WPW submitted a Draft License Application for the Project to FERC in February 2022. This Draft License Application contains preliminary Project data and information, various siting alternatives, and addresses potential impacts to the surrounding environment. FERC, BLM, and other stakeholders have reviewed and provided comments to this Draft License Application. WPW is currently preparing a Final License Application for submittal to FERC. Once WPW submits the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review, an environmental impact assessment, and a public consultation process. White Pine Waterpower, LLC

The proposed Project is located within Greater Sage-Grouse (GrSG) Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA), Other Habitat Management Areas (OHMA) and non-habitat. In conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015) there are seasonal limitations on discretionary activities for GrSG breeding, nesting, early brood-rearing, late brood-rearing, and winter habitats. The Project’s construction activities will extend into all seasonal limitations; there will also be both temporary and permanent disturbance within PHMA and GHMA habitats. WPW will be requesting that the BLM consider an amendment to the current ARMPA. This request is needed to allow all-season construction of the Project and to facilitate the Project’s limited use of GrSG habitat. As part of this proposal, WPW desires to work with various stakeholders to develop a robust GrSG mitigation package that will incorporate mitigation banking and other measures that results in a net conservation gain to GrSG habitat WPW requests the BLM form a Technical Working Group to coordinate efforts between WPW, BLM, Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT), White Pine County, and other interested parties, as applicable. The purpose for this Technical Working Group is to define acceptable and achievable mitigation measures that will help define the project specific amendment to the current ARMPA. These mitigation measures will be incorporated into the Final License Application and undergo public scoping through the FERC NEPA process. In summary, WPW respectfully requests that the BLM establish a Technical Working Group to develop acceptable GrSG mitigation measures to support a project specific amendment to the current RMP/ARMPA. WPW is prepared to participate in such a group as needed and on a collaboratively determined schedule that considers the Project licensing and construction needs, the needs of the BLM, and the needs of other participants. WPW respectfully requests your consideration and response to this proposal by September 23, 2022.
Sincerely,
Luigi Resta, President rPlus Hydro, LLLP

Michael/Alicia: Please see below a brief description of the activities that occurred on BLM lands related to LUP N100621. A seasonal timing restriction waiver request for late brood rearing season for GrSG was granted by NDOW on June 15, 2022, for the period of September 1st through September 15th. As such, the preparations for and conduct of the non-destructive seismic reflection study work was commenced on September 6, 2022. 1. Health and safety briefing and work scope review was conducted daily 2. Seismic reflection equipment was mobilized to the project area on Tuesday, September 6th. 3. Geophone stations were marked and flagged for both transect line 1 and 2 from Tuesday, September 6th through Thursday, September 8th. 4. Geophones were laid out and installed for both transect line 1 and 2 from Tuesday, September 6th through Thursday, September 8th. 5. Seismic reflection survey measurements commenced on September 7th from the west end of transect line 1, and approximately 4,200 feet of transect line 1 was completed by September 8th. a. Equipment issues on September 8th prevented continuing the seismic survey measurements. A new part was delivered on September 10th and seismic reflection survey measuring recommenced b. Seismic reflection survey measurements of transect line 1 were completed on Sunday, September 11th. 6. Due to impending weather issues over the next couple of days, the seismic reflection survey measurements of transect line 2 are expected to be completed on Thursday, September 15th. Activities related to geotechnical drilling in accordance with LUP N-100140 are expected to commence on Monday, September 19th.

Comments: The road leading to the site was in good shape with little to no rutting. One corner had a tiny amount of sloughing. The recontouring and dirt work was satisfactory and matched grade. A small berm was present on the north end of the pad but reclamation would probably result in scraping roots and killing the trees around the drill pad. Small amounts of grasses, yarrow, and prickly poppy were growing in the seeded area of the pad. No dried grasses with blown seed heads were found within the pad. A large population of tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum) was blooming and going to seed. If this population was hand treated at this time you may catch it before going to seed. Recommend reseeding this fall to hopefully establish native species next spring.

Mr. Bassett, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for the professionalism and gracious assistance in obtaining the landscape photos on Wednesday and Thursday, last week. On Wednesday we found that we were successfully able to use the GPS coordinates to accurately position the train near, or exactly at, the potential KOP locations, and photos were obtained at potential KOP’s 16 and 17 around sunset. We were also able to obtain photos at potential KOP 14 as the sun settled below the horizon, and at potential KOP 5 from the Star Platform as the train headed back to the depot. On Thursday, the six potential KOPs on the HiLine were photographed, with KOP 5 photographed from the train instead of the Star Platform. Of particular note, and for greater efficiency in the picture-taking process, we elected to obtain both the 24mm and 50 mm photos with a 20-degree interval to ensure there is enough overlap to allow for potential photo-simulation images to be compiled. Again, thank you so much for accommodating us as we endeavored to obtain the pictures at the times, places, and in the manner we have discussed. Take great care, Greg Copeland | Program Manager, Hydro 801-759-2223 | www.rplushydro.com

As indicated previously, Mark is willing to provide this information to rPlus. Please contact Marvin Griff to work out appropriate protocols. Considering the seasonal nature of the train rides affecting the demographic makeup of passengers, as well as economic expenditures, plus the fact that the Fall train season will soon end, it may be advantageous to have a virtual meeting with Northern Nevada Railway, rPlus, and the NPS on delivering the Visitor Use Assessment survey instrument to capture the Fall ridership before it is too late. I sent you NPS’s comments/edits on the Visitor Use Assessment survey instrument on August 17, 2022, which I believe you mentioned were acceptable to rPlus.

Lil, Thanks for the update. WPW is continuing to work through implementation of the visitor use assessment and photo-simulations and we expect to be in touch on those topics very soon. We will separately work with NNR’s counsel on the data requests. While we continue to work through those issues, we would like to provide FERC an update to let them know that we’ve had the joint meeting and are working on next steps. To that end, we intend to file the attached update letter by COB tomorrow. If NPS has any comments or questions, please let me know. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

White Pine Waterpower, LLC c/o rPlus Hydro, LLLP 201 S Main St, Suite 2000 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 October 5, 2022 Mr. Jon Raby State Director Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Office 1340 Financial Blvd. Reno, NV 89502 jraby@blm.gov Via email to: jraby@blm.gov RE: Request for Initiation of a Greater Sage Grouse Technical Working Group for a Project Specific RMP/ARMPA Amendment Dear Mr. Raby, White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) is pursuing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing, construction, and operation of the White Pine Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The Project is a 1,000 megawatt offstream, closed-loop, pumped storage facility that will require the construction of two new water reservoirs joined by conduit tunnels, as well as an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment. The pumped storage facilities will be on BLM jurisdictional land administered by the BLM Bristlecone office and will be located entirely off-stream, meaning neither the upper nor lower reservoir will intercept a perennial surface watercourse. Water to initially fill the reservoir system and required make-up water for evaporation losses will be pumped from groundwater drawn under permits held by White Pine County. The proposed 28-mile long 345 kV transmission line is located within a designated energy corridor included in the West-Wide Energy Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The proposed transmission line parallels an existing transmission line in this corridor. In 2019, Nevada passed a law requiring at least 50% renewable energy sourcing by 2030, and for the state to be 100% carbon-free by 2050. In November 2020 this requirement was added to the Nevada State Constitution. In December 2021, President Biden signed an Executive Order that directs the federal government to achieve 100% carbon pollution-free electricity use by 2030. In addition, the Nevada BLM office has developed bold land use planning goals for renewable energy on federal lands administered by the BLM. Nevada will need large amounts of energy storage to effectively manage the massive amount of new renewable energy that will be necessary to meet these sourcing requirements. WPW submitted a Draft License Application for the Project to FERC in February 2022. This Draft License Application contains preliminary Project data and information, various siting alternatives, and addresses potential impacts to the surrounding environment. FERC, BLM, and other stakeholders have reviewed and provided comments to this Draft License Application. WPW is currently preparing a Final License Application for submittal to FERC. Once WPW submits the Final License Application, FERC will initiate a formal review, an environmental impact assessment, and a public consultation process. White Pine Waterpower, LLC

The proposed Project is located within Greater Sage-Grouse (GrSG) Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA), Other Habitat Management Areas (OHMA) and non-habitat. In conformance with the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ARMPA, BLM 2015) there are seasonal limitations on discretionary activities for GrSG breeding, nesting, early brood-rearing, late brood-rearing, and winter habitats. The Project’s construction activities will extend into all seasonal limitations; there will also be both temporary and permanent disturbance within PHMA and GHMA habitats. WPW will be requesting that the BLM consider an amendment to the current ARMPA to be incorporated as part of the EIS process for the Project FERC Licensing and BLM grant. This request is needed to allow all-season construction of the Project and to facilitate the Project’s limited use of GrSG habitat. As part of this proposal, WPW desires to work with various stakeholders to develop a robust GrSG mitigation package that will incorporate mitigation banking and other measures that results in a net conservation gain to GrSG habitat WPW requests the BLM form a Technical Working Group to coordinate efforts between WPW, BLM, Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT), White Pine County, and other interested parties, as applicable. The purpose for this Technical Working Group is to define acceptable and achievable mitigation measures that will help define the project specific amendment to the current ARMPA. These mitigation measures will be incorporated into the Final License Application and undergo public review through the FERC NEPA process. In summary, WPW respectfully requests that the BLM establish a Technical Working Group to develop acceptable GrSG mitigation measures to support a project specific amendment to the current RMP/ARMPA. WPW is prepared to participate in such a group as needed and on a collaboratively determined schedule that considers the Project licensing and construction needs, the needs of the BLM, and the needs of other participants. WPW respectfully requests your consideration and response to this proposal by October 19, 2022.
Sincerely,
Luigi Resta, President rPlus Hydro, LLLP

Draft Plan of Development
INTRODUCTION
White Pine Waterpower, LLC (the “Applicant”), a wholly owned subsidiary of rPlus Hydro, LLC, intends to conduct a hydrogeologic evaluation in support of the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project (the “Project”). The Project is in White Pine County, Nevada, located approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The new 1,000 megawatt (MW) closed-loop pumped storage hydroelectric facility will be comprised of two new artificial reservoirs joined by underground conduits, an underground powerhouse and associated generation, pumping and transmission equipment. A reliable water source will be required for construction, initial reservoir filling, and make-up water for the Project. The Hydrogeologic Evaluation (the “HE”) will assess the availability of a reliable water source and include three (3) alluvial monitoring wells to track groundwater response to pumping and two (2) HE boreholes to assist in providing stratigraphic, groundwater elevation, and water chemistry data for groundwater occurring in the Project area (Figure 1). The HE boreholes will also serve as test wells needed for short term pumping tests to determine various aquifer parameters. Permitting of the fully proposed Project will be conducted under a separate scope and permitting action.
2.0
PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the HE is to 1) identify potential water supply resources adjacent to the Project; 2) determine the aquifer’s hydrogeologic properties; 3) construct monitoring wells for groundwater detection and testing; and 4) test and evaluate the water production capabilities of the alluvial groundwater system. The HE study is critical to evaluating alluvial aquifer characteristics and determining if a reliable water source is present to support construction and operation of the Project.

2.1
Draft Plan of Development
Proposed Activities
2.1.1 Monitoring Wells Three (3) alluvial monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3) will be drilled between the proposed location of the lower reservoir and nearby irrigation pivots. The monitoring wells are primarily designed to detect the potential effects of pumping related to the Project but will also be used to gather base line groundwater level and chemistry data as well as characterize the hydrogeology of the alluvial apron for future production well location and design. Monitoring wells will be drilled between 150 and 300 feet below the ground surface (bgs). Drill pads will be 175’ x 175’ and located directly off existing roads to minimize unneeded surface disturbance. Alluvial monitoring wells will be designed to meet Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) and Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) standards and regulations, included in Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 534. Each monitoring well will require a Monitoring Well Waiver from NDWR in addition to the Notice of Intent (NOI) to drill and Affidavit of Intent (AIA) to plug a well. A detailed work plan with typical monitoring well design schematics is included in Attachment 1: Hydrogeologic Investigation Work Plan.
2.1.2 Hydrogeologic Evaluation Borehole / Test Wells Two (2) HE boreholes (HE-1, HE-2) are located and designed to characterize the alluvial aquifer below the Project area and along the eastern alluvial apron of the Steptoe Valley. The HE boreholes will be drilled to a total depth (TD) of between 600 and 800 feet bgs. The monitoring well drill pads have been sized to also accommodate drilling and completion of the HE boreholes. The HE boreholes will provide stratigraphic, groundwater elevation, and water chemistry data for groundwater occurring in the Project area. The HE borehole/test wells will be located adjacent to monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2, which will be used during testing to track groundwater response to pumping. The hydrogeologic, geologic, and geophysical data collected from the HE boreholes will be an important source of data needed to characterize alluvial conditions of gravels in the Project area. Upon completion of testing, the HE boreholes will be instrumented with vibrating wire piezometers (VWP) and data loggers to collect and record changes in static groundwater levels. A detailed work plan with typical HE borehole/test well design schematics is included in Attachment 1: Hydrogeologic Investigation Work Plan. Page 6

2.1.3 Road Access Borehole and well pads will be accessed via an existing road network as depicted in Figure 1. No modifications or improvements of these existing roads will be required.
2.1.4 Additional Temporary Workspaces Monitoring wells and the HE boreholes will share a common 175’ by 175’ drill pad. Topsoil at each drill pad will be collected and stockpiled on the less active side of the drill pad. Trucks delivering materials and supplies to the drill pad will be required to turn around within the limits of the drill pad boundaries. A laydown and staging yard located on private land in the industrial zone west of the Project area will be utilized for equipment and materials support. Coordinate locations specific to the monitoring wells and the HE boreholes are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Proposed Monitoring Wells and HE Boreholes on BLM Land ID

Clearing and Grading
Vegetation located within the drilling pads will be removed and restored after work is complete. Pad sites will be graded to provide a level work surface for the operation of the drill equipment. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread evenly and dispersed onsite. Well pads will be regraded to the natural contour and slope of the surrounding topography. All reclamation earthwork will be completed with a bulldozer, backhoe, or equivalent equipment. The regraded areas will then be a seeded with a BLM-approved certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth.

2.5
Safety Requirements
The drilling contractors will be responsible for creating Project-specific safety plans for their workers. A safety meeting will be held at the beginning of each shift prior to starting any work operations. Signage will be used to inform the public of activities associated with the HE.
2.6
Industrial Wastes and Toxic Substances
No industrial wastes will be generated by the HE and no toxic substances will be used, aside from fuel to operate equipment and vehicles. Fuel will be stored in safety containers, and no fueling will be conducted within 100 feet of a waterbody. Additives to drilling water will be limited to the use of bentonite (an inert non-toxic clay) for borehole stabilization. Grout for abandoning the drill holes will consist of a bentonite and cement mixture with a neat cement cap placed from 20 ft bgs to the ground surface as per NAC534 requirements.
2.7
Seasonal Restrictions on Various Activities
The HE will be carried out in 2023 between March 6 and 31, although some preparation activities could begin as early as March 1, 2023. The HE will overlap with the early breeding season for GrSG. However, GrSG disturbance during this time will be limited by restricting the drilling and well installation activities to 9:00 am to 6:00 pm PT each workday.
3.0 3.1
RESOURCE VALUES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS Location with Regard to Existing Corridors
The HE is not within an existing corridor. Drill pads have been sited adjacent to existing roads.
3.2
Anticipated Conflicts with Resources or Public Health and Safety
3.2.1 Air Quality and Noise The vehicles and equipment used for the HE will generate air emissions and noise. These effects will be temporary, and no air quality permits are required.
3.2.2 Geologic Hazards The HE is not in an area with steep topography and the potential for slope movement. Drill pads are located along existing roads and are in relatively smooth and level terrain.
Page 10

White Pine Waterpower Hydrogeologic Evaluation
Draft Plan of Development
3.2.3 Mineral and Energy Resources The activities for the HE will not cross any mineral extraction areas or oil and gas wells.
3.2.4 Paleontological Resources It is unlikely that activities for the HE will encounter paleontological resources due to the limited proposed ground disturbance and the low potential fossil yield classification in the Project area.
3.2.5 Soils Soils will be disturbed for the drill pads. Impacts will be minimized through best management practices (BMPs), which include segregation and replacement of topsoil, and soil erosion control measures such as installing silt fences and slope breakers.
3.2.6 Water Resources and Wetlands Water resources include groundwater, surface water, wetlands, and floodplains. Water resources in the vicinity of the Project area, are based on data from the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). The USGS, NDWR, and Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (NDCNR) have divided the state of Nevada into 232 hydrographic basins within 14 major hydrographic regions (NDWR 2020). The Project area lies in the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin within the Central Region (Hydrographic Region 10). The Central Region is a total of 46,783 square miles, and the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin has a total drainage area of 1,942 square miles. Groundwater Resources Steptoe Valley is located within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. This name refers to the region covering much of the western United States and northwestern Mexico and refers to the landscape of alternating valleys and mountains. Within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province, groundwater occurs in basin-fill deposits and the rock that underlies these deposits (BLM 2008b). The basin-fill deposits in this area consist of unconsolidated sediments that are produced by the erosion of the surrounding mountains and hills. The sediments are transported by streams and creeks and deposited onto the valley floor. The groundwater within Steptoe Valley is stored primarily within these basin-fill deposits. The fractured-rock aquifer in the carbonate rock beneath the basin-fill deposits does not directly yield groundwater to local wells (BLM 2008b). There is uncertainty regarding groundwater recharge in Steptoe Valley. It is believed the only known source is through precipitation; however, there have been suggestions that groundwater could flow into Steptoe Valley from neighboring Butte Valley (BLM 2008b).
Page 11
October 2022
White Pine Waterpower Hydrogeologic Evaluation
Draft Plan of Development
Surface Water Resources Surface water features in the Steptoe Valley basin include various streams, creeks, and lakes, among which are Comins Lake, Bassett Lake, and ephemeral Goshute Lake. Many of the streams originate in the surrounding mountains and flow to the valley floor; however, the majority of the streams only reach the valley floor during times of heavy runoff generated from large storms. Steptoe Creek is located to the south of the Project area, originates in the Duck Creek Range, and is spring fed. The Creek flows northward and terminates north of the Ely airport and is not crossed by the Project.
3.2.7 Vegetation The habitats, and labels, described below are derived from USGS Gap Analysis Program (GAP) habitat descriptions and have been modified based on site-specific conditions (USGS 2011).
During initial site preparation, vegetation located within the drilling pads would be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. Native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements would be spread evenly and dispersed onsite during restoration reclamation. Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland This habitat is dominated by a variable mixture of Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and single leaf pinyon (Pinus monophyla), with the majority of areas having more cover of Utah juniper. The shrub layer is fairly developed with dwarf sagebrush, indian rice grass (Stipa hymenoides), kindlingweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), matted wild buckwheat (Eriogonum caespitosum), square stem phlox (Phlox muscoides), prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis). The herb layer is generally sparse with some scattered occurrences of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). This habitat occurs in two forms based on the density of the canopy. The closed canopy form generally occurs on slopes with approximately 5 percent bare ground or less. Open canopy forms are approximately half vegetated with bare ground and debris making up the remainder of the habitat. Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland This habitat is dominated by dwarf sagebrush and/or black sagebrush (Artemisia nova) in the shrub layer, with lesser occurrences of kindlingweed, rubber rabbitbrush, and matted wild buckwheat. Scattered isolated individuals of Utah juniper can occur in this habitat, but at no more than 1 percent cover. The herb layer has some cover of cheatgrass but is fairly undeveloped overall. This habitat is similar to Great Basin Semi-Desert Chaparral but it is essentially devoid of Mexican cliffrose.
Page 12

White Pine Waterpower Hydrogeologic Evaluation
Draft Plan of Development
Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe This habitat is similar to Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Scrub but differs in that indian rice grass and/or blue grama is subdominant to codominant with dwarf sage brush. The tree layer is nearly absent, and other shrub species such as winterfat are present only sporadically. Other grass species occur less frequently such as curly blue grass (Poa secunda) and cheatgrass, as well as other herbs such as Simpson’s buckwheat (Eriogonum microthecum var. simpsonii). Bare ground can make up approximately 25 percent to 75 percent of the landscape of this habitat. Invasive Annual Grassland This habitat is dominated by cheatgrass with some cover of wise tansy mustard, saltlover (Halogeton glomeratus), and crossflower (Chorispora tenella).
3.2.8 Wildlife The HE area is within the Great Basin Desert floristic region, which contains mostly sagebrush shrublands and pinyon-juniper highlands (BLM 2008b). Occupied mule deer distributions exist within portions of the Project area. According to the 2008 Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) mapping and the NDOW Occupied Mule Deer habitat maps, the MW-3 pad site is located within the crucial winter range for the Duck Creek Basin mule deer herd. Other wildlife species that inhabit the area include elk, pronghorn, several bat species, black-tailed jackrabbit, pygmy rabbit, mountain lion, coyote, and gray fox, as well as various small mammals and reptiles. Numerous bird species inhabit the area, including but not limited to Cooper’s hawk, Swainson’s hawk, golden eagle, American kestrel, loggerhead shrike, pinyon jay, juniper titmouse, sage thrasher, vesper sparrow, and several other species of passerine songbirds.
3.2.9 Threatened and Endangered Species and Other Special Status Species Rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) wildlife species have the potential to occur in the area of the HE. RTE wildlife species are considered those species that are: (1) listed, proposed, under review, or candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), or proposed for delisting; (2) found on Nevada Regional BLM land and formally listed as sensitive (BLMS); (3) covered under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; or (4) listed by the State of Nevada as sensitive, protected, threatened, endangered, and/or a species of conservation priority. Attachment 2 - Wildlife Species in White Pine County, Nevada: Special Status, Nevada-designated Furbearing, and Game Species provides a list of species with a potential to occur in the HE area.

Greater Sage-Grouse The greater sage-grouse (GrSG) is found in sagebrush habitat throughout Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 9,000 feet. GrSG are dependent on sagebrush during all life stages for cover, food, and breeding areas (USFWS 2012). Leks, or breeding display sites, typically occur in open areas surrounded by sagebrush (Connelly et al. 2000). Depending on snow depth, elevation, weather, and region, male GrSG begin displaying at leks from the end of February to early April, until late May or early June (Connelly et al. 2004). Nesting occurs during the spring and early summer, and GrSG begin to change their diets from sagebrush to forbs as forbs become more available. Early brood-rearing habitat is defined as sagebrush habitat within the vicinity of the nest used by sage-grouse hens, and hens rear their broods for the first two-three weeks in the vicinity of their nest in forb-rich habitat (Connelly et al. 2004). Throughout the summer, GrSG use sagebrush habitats for late brood-rearing, and select habitat based on the availability of forbs; these habitats are generally used from July to early September (Connelly et al. 2004). GrSG habitat in Nevada was delineated by the BLM in the 2015 Nevada and North-Eastern California Approved Resource Management Plan (ARMPA) into habitat management categories to help apply management guidelines designed to protect and/or manage GrSG habitat. These habitat management categories are referred to as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), General Habitat Management Area (GHMA), and Other Habitat Management Area (OHMA). GrSG are also protected under the 2018 Nevada Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Plan (Sagebrush Ecosystem Council 2018), which is implemented by the Sagebrush Ecosystem Technical Team (SETT) and outlines sage-grouse conservation activities in Nevada. The Nevada plan also identifies PHMA, GHMA, and OHMA areas that reflect the BLM’s habitat designations. The Nevada plan requires consultation with the SETT for all development projects and typically results in mitigation requirements through the Nevada Conservation Credit System. Specific requirements for development projects are limited in the Nevada plan but avoidance, minimization, and mitigation of sage-grouse habitat is stressed. Figure 2 illustrates the HE facilities within GHMA.

3.2.10 Cultural Resources There are no known eligible sites within the footprint of the Project area. However, cultural surveys of the Project area are pending and will be submitted prior to Notice to Proceed.
3.2.11 Visual Resources Visual impacts will be temporary and limited to the presence of vehicles and equipment, including the drill rig masts. The spatial limits of hydrogeologic evaluations, including vehicle movement, will be predetermined with activity restricted to and confined within those limits. No paint or permanent discoloring agents indicating survey or construction limits will be applied to rocks, vegetation, structures, fences, etc.
3.2.12 BLM Projects The Applicant is unaware of any current or future BLM projects with which the HE will conflict.
3.2.13 Recreation Activities Recreation resources in the vicinity of the proposed HE includes hunting on the dispersed public lands. The Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) crosses through the general Project area. Project construction or operation will not impede or impact any operation of the NNR. There are no other existing recreational facilities on BLM land within the Project area and the Project is not expected to conflict with recreational activities.
3.2.14 Public Health and Safety The HE will not pose risk to public health and safety.
4.0 4.1
STABILIZATION AND REHABILITATION Soil Replacement and Stabilization
Vegetation will be left in place and original contours will be maintained wherever possible. In drill pad areas where there is ground disturbance, surface reclamation will normally consist of, but is not limited to, returning disturbed areas to their natural contour, reseeding using BLM-approved seed mixture, and installing cross drains for erosion control. Topsoil will be salvaged/segregated and distributed and contoured evenly over the surface of the disturbed area after completion of drilling.
4.2
Disposal of Vegetation Removed During Construction
Vegetation within drill pads will be removed, if necessary, and restored after work is complete. All native vegetation and rocks that are displaced in the process of site improvements will be spread
Page 16
October 2022
White Pine Waterpower Hydrogeologic Evaluation
Draft Plan of Development
evenly and dispersed onsite. Respreading the vegetation removed from the areas of disturbance will provide erosion protection, nutrient recycling, and seed source.
4.3
Seeding Specifications
All areas on BLM lands disturbed during the HE will be seeded with a BLM-approved, certified weed-free seed mix at the appropriate time of year for optimum seed sprouting and plant growth. Seeding methods will be described in a site-specific reclamation and weed management plan.
4.4
Fertilizer
In disturbed areas, topsoil will be segregated and removed, and vegetation will be re-spread to promote nutrient recycling. Fertilizer will not be applied unless specifically requested by BLM.
4.5
Limiting Access to Right-of-Way
During the HE, signage will be used to indicate that the public is not allowed on pad sites during construction.
5.0 5.1
TERMINATION AND RESTORATION Stabilization and Re-vegetation of Disturbed Area
Following drill hole closure and demobilization from the individual boring and well locations, the sites will be restored to a condition matching or resembling its pre-Project condition. Site rehabilitation and final stabilization of any disturbed areas will include the removal of any erosion control BMPs. Wheel ruts and marks will be removed to restore the ground surface to its former condition. Restoration efforts will be initiated no later than 5 working days after all activities have been completed. All non-native waste and materials will be removed from the Project and disposed of at an approved facility.

Reptiles Occurs mainly in xeric, sparsely vegetated rocky areas; on alluvial fans; lava flows; hillsides; rocky plains; and in canyons. Perches atop and hides under rocks. Can be found from sea level to about 7,500 feet. Occurs in forests, woodlands, grassland, chaparral, and riparian corridors in arid regions. Habitats are moist, at least seasonally. Individuals often are found near abandoned buildings and in junk piles in wooded areas. During daylight hours, this snake generally hides underground, in or under logs, or under rocks, stumps, or other surface cover. Eggs are laid (often communally) underground or under logs or rocks. Found in sandy and gravelly desert and semidesert areas with scattered shrubs or other low plants (e.g. bunch grass, alkali bush, sagebrush, creosote bush) especially areas with abundant rodent burrows; occurs from sea level to approximately 6,000 feet. Chaparral, woodland, and pine forests in mountainous regions; brushy rocky canyons; talus slopes; near streams and springs; found from 2,800 to 9,100 feet above sea level.

Antigone canadensis
Nest in mature and old-growth forests with more than 60% closed canopy; often build nests near breaks in the canopy, such as a forest trail, jeep road, or opening created by a downed tree; and prefer sites with a creek, pond, or lake nearby. Hunt in the forest, along riparian corridors, and in more open habitat, such as the sagebrush steppes. Breed in open wetland habitats surrounded by shrubs or trees. Nest in marshes, bogs, wet meadows, prairies, burned-over aspen stands, and other moist habitats, preferring those with standing water. Breeders gravitate toward the edges between wetland and upland habitats, while non-breeders may prefer open, grassy sites. Winter roosting on shallow lakes or rivers at night and spending the day in irrigated croplands, pastures, grasslands, or wetlands.
Aquila chrysaetos
Open country, especially around mountains, hills, and cliffs. Uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert, including tundra, shrublands, grasslands, coniferous forests, farmland, and areas along rivers and streams.
Asio flammeus
Open areas with low vegetation, including prairie and grasslands, heathlands, meadows, shrub steppe, savanna, tundra, marshes, dunes, and agricultural areas. Winter habitat is similar but is more likely to include large open areas within woodlots, stubble fields, fresh and saltwater marshes, weedy fields, dumps, gravel pits, rock quarries, and shrub thickets. If food is plentiful, winter areas often become breeding areas.

Breeds in alpine areas, usually near rock piles, and cliffs; winters in open country, including mountain meadows, high deserts, valleys, and plains. High plains rangeland. Breeds in Nevada but does not overwinter. Breeding habitat is mostly native dry grassland and sagebrush prairie. May favor areas with some damp low spots nearby to provide better feeding area for the young. May nest in pastures that are not too heavily grazed; rarely in agricultural fields. On mostly featureless terrain, often chooses sites close to conspicuous rock, shrub, or other objects. Breeds exclusively in shrub steppe habitats. Requires relatively dense ground cover for concealment, but also some bare ground for foraging and for getting around on their feet, which they often do in preference to flying. Uses arid or semiarid open country with scattered bushes, grasslands, and open pinyon-juniper woodlands.

INTRODUCTION rPlus Energies (rPlus) is a renewable energy company developing large-scale renewable energy and energy storage projects. rPlus is currently developing a 1,000 MW capacity closed loop pumped storage system located south of McGill, Nevada as illustrated in Figure 1. The pumped storage system would send hydroelectric power to the grid during peak demand by releasing water from an upper reservoir through an underground tunnel, producing power through a series of pump generators. Water would then be transferred from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir during non-peak hours. The main project infrastructure components would consist of: •
Upper reservoir
•
Lower reservoir
•
Underground conveyance tunnel
•
Access shaft, and
•
Underground powerhouse
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK Sustainable water supply is a critical component for the project. A reliable water source will be required for three phases of project development and operations including: 1. Construction (~1,500 acre-feet annually (AFA)) 2. Initial reservoir filling (~5,000 AFA) 3. Operating make-up water (~750 AFA) The objective of this work plan is to develop a wellfield design capable of meeting water supply demand over the three phases of project development. The work plan is therefore organized to: (i) identify potential water supply resources adjacent to the project, (ii) investigate the aquifer’s hydrogeologic properties, (iii) construct wells for groundwater monitoring and testing, and (iv) test as well as evaluate the water production characteristics of the alluvial and bedrock groundwater systems. This work plan consists of six (6) tasks summarized as follows: 1. Desktop literature review and gap analysis 2. Preliminary wellfield designs 3. Establish a groundwater monitoring network 4. Hydrogeologic evaluation (HE) / test well construction 5. Pumping tests

6. Pre-feasibility wellfield designs Detailed descriptions of individual tasks are provided in the following sections. This work plan does not address the hydrogeologic and geotechnical investigation associated with the underground tunnel and shaft design. The tunnel is anticipated to traverse through bedrock materials whose capacity to transmit groundwater along discrete fractures and pore pressure profile is unknown. Management of groundwater ingress during tunneling, or potential dewatering to accommodate tunnel and shaft development, are separate from the current workplan. This workplan also does not complete National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) studies to establish baseline conditions and water resource impacts associated with the project. Potential water related impacts from the project are associated with (i) consumptive use of water for reservoir filling and maintenance, (ii) groundwater impacts related to tunneling and sinking of the shaft, (iii) potential groundwater impacts if bedrock dewatering is necessary. The results from this investigation will be suitable to fulfill a portion of the water resource baseline studies related to water supply for construction, reservoir filling, and maintenance; however, the other elements related to pumping impacts, tunneling and potential dewatering that remain.
LOCATION OF WORK The proposed pumped storage project is located approximately 4 miles south of McGill Nevada (Figure 1), occupying Sections 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Township 17N, Range 64E, in the Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian. The project would be constructed across the Duck Creek Range, spanning a vertical relief of approximately 2,200 vertical feet. The upper reservoir would be constructed upon bedrock materials in the Duck Creek Range (~8,400 ft amsl) and the lower reservoir constructed on the eastern alluvial apron of Steptoe Valley (~6,200 ft amsl). All proposed drillhole locations are on BLM lands and will require clearance by the BLM for disturbance areas prior to drill pad preparation.
PERMIT APPLICATIONS Permits from Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) specifically for 2022 activities will be needed prior to the commencement of drilling operations. The following submittals will be required: •
Notice of Intent (NOI) to Drill
•
Monitoring well waiver (M/O waiver)
•
Water exploration waiver for Hydrogeologic Exploration (HE) borehole testing (W waiver); and
•
Affidavit of Intent (AIA) to Plug a Well
•
Temporary discharge permit (optional)
PITEAU ASSOCIATES Geotechnical and Water Management Consultants
Page 3 Project 4500 October 2022

•
BLM Permit for disturbance area.
The NOI is the responsibility of the Nevada-licensed drilling contractor selected to complete the work. The M/O waiver, W waiver, and AIA can be prepared by Piteau but must be notarized by an agent of rPlus and submitted with the appropriate fee. The contract driller will also be responsible for submittal of a Well Driller’s Report to NDWR upon completion of well constructions. A Temporary Discharge Permit from Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) will likely be needed prior to performing the pumping test. Once obtained, it is valid for a period of six months. The BLM permit for disturbance area is the responsibility of the project applicant and should include allowance for access road improvements, drill pads, and earthen sumps for drilling materials. All work included in this project will be accomplished in accordance with applicable Standards, Codes, Regulations, or Specifications issued by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the work in progress.

TASK 1: LITERATURE SEARCH AND REFERENCE DEVELOPMENT A literature search and public data review will be conducted to support hydrogeological conceptual site model (CSM) for the Steptoe Valley hydrographic basin (Basin 179) with emphasis in the project area (Figure 2). Piteau will collaborate with Basin Engineering to define the hydrogeologic data sources and pertinent water right’s history in the CSM. The CSM will be used to develop and refine project investigation components and analyses. The literature search and reference development will include the following components: 1. Site physiography 2. Geology and structure 3. Climatic data (WRCC, Google climate engine) 4. Hydrogeology and hydro-stratigraphy 5. Well locations and groundwater stakeholders 6. Basin water budget Public and private databases will be used to develop the research including: •
US Geological Survey (USGS)
•
Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG)
•
Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR)
•
rPlus background studies, and
•
References from pre-feasibility study
The following data products will be produced and identify the final locations for the project’s well field infrastructure: •
Map of registered wells located in Basin 179. Duty rates for production wells will be mapped as well
•
A database of water levels through time for wells in the basin. Corresponding hydrographs will be generated and plotted
•
A database of water rights and well logs located in the conceptual model area which will consist of ownership, well location, well construction details, duty rate, etc.
•
A historical summary of pumpage in the basin, as available from the State Engineer
•
A water budget estimate for the conceptual model study area
•
A series of alluvial fence diagrams utilizing drillers logs

TASK 2: PRELIMINARY WELLFIELD DESIGNS Preliminary wellfield design will be developed using the existing conceptual wellfield design submitted as part of the FERC Draft License Application (DLA). The preliminary wellfield design will include the refinement of production well construction and material specifications as well as the well completion design and optimized of pumping equipment design. The literature search and desktop hydrogeologic review will support development of the preliminary wellfield design. Initial review has indicated that nearby alluvial irrigation and domestic wells surrounding the proposed lower reservoir site are less than 200 ft deep. Based on Piteau’s current understanding of the basin, a high-level wellfield configuration is anticipated to consist of: •
Four alluvial wells with target production rates of 800 to 900 gallons per minute (gpm). For planning purposes, well locations will be placed within the project property boundary, but final locations will be identified pending the results of field investigation. Wells will be constructed using 16-inch diameter casing and drilled to approximate depths of up to 800 ft below ground surface (bgs).
•
A bedrock production well located near the upper reservoir to provide construction water and supplement water supply. This well would be constructed using 12-inch diameter casing and drilled to an approximate depth of 2,000 ft bgs.
•
A gathering system and conveyance pipeline system. Conveyance pipeline is envisioned to consist of buried 8 to 10-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline or other material depending on the final design basis, required life and maintenance requirements.
The preliminary wellfield design will be finalized based on the results of the hydrogeologic testing, analysis and well design specifications developed during this test work. Basin Engineering will generate a change in point of diversion water right application and liaison with the State Engineer office for approval based on the well collar locations identified through this analysis. Subsequent to approval of the change application, Basin Engineering will develop the wellfield facilities design that provides detailed drawings for pump houses, piping conveyance, access roads, and right of way.

TASK 3: ESTABLISH GROUNDWATER MONITORING NETWORK Establishment of monitoring wells as long term groundwater monitoring locations is critical to collect background data and provide a reference point for evaluating potential impacts to neighboring stakeholders. A consistent history of piezometric levels prior to project operation is the basis to understand natural variability related to climate and thus objectively evaluate claims of impairment. The objectives of the alluvial groundwater monitoring network are to: •
Establish baseline piezometric levels and groundwater chemistry along the eastern alluvial apron of Steptoe Valley. A key aspect of establishing baseline conditions is monitoring the seasonal fluctuation of piezometric levels and chemistry in order to differentiate potential groundwater impacts related to the pumped storage project from natural background variations.
•
Establish baseline water quality as a basis for system design. Water quality is an important parameter needed to ensure the design of pump turbine and other equipment is well suited to the ambient groundwater quality. Chemical parameters, water quality and the sediment load of produced well water will be measured, reported, and archived for future use or provided immediately to design engineers depending on the need.
•
Provide alluvial investigation sites to characterize the depth to water, alluvial stratigraphy, and transmissivity values from small scale aquifer testing (air lifting recovery testing as described below).
•
Function as piezometric monitoring points during the larger scale alluvial well pumping test.
A series of three (3) alluvial monitoring wells will be drilled along the western edge of the property between the planned location of the lower reservoir and neighboring irrigation pivots (Figure 4). Alluvial monitoring wells are primarily designed to monitor potential impacts related to project operations but will also be used to characterize the alluvial apron hydrogeology for future production well location and designs. For this reason, the alluvial monitoring wells are planned to be installed first to support both objectives. Alluvial monitoring wells will be designed to meet NDWR and NDEP standards and regulations, including those identified in Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 534. Each monitoring well will require a M/O waiver from NDWR in addition to the NOI and AIA. A typical monitoring well design is provided in Figure 5. Key design components are: •
A 4-inch completion using Schedule 80 PVC
•
A total depth of 150 ft – 300 ft bgs based on preliminary assessment of water levels in the area
•
A 40-ft screen interval extending from ~10-ft above the water table to 30-ft below
•
A minimum 5-ft seal of bentonite hole plug placed 2 ft above the top of the well screen

The northernmost monitoring well (MW-3) is located on US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land adjacent to several irrigation water rights (Figure 4). The central monitoring well (MW-2) is also positioned between irrigation water rights on the east side of the Steptoe Valley’s central axis. The southernmost monitoring well (MW-1) is located to evaluate potential impacts to the southwest. The proposed monitoring well locations are summarized in Table 1. Drill pad layout, access road design, field surveying and dirt work contracting will be handled by Basin Engineering prior to drilling. This will reduce overall costs and schedule delays.

Comments
A standard set of hydrogeologic logs will be maintained during drilling by a qualified hydrogeologist. Short-term pumping test (8 - 12 hours) will be initiated upon completion of drilling and development to determine the local transmissivity values. This data will characterize alluvial hydrogeologic properties as part of the production well investigation program. Upon completion, monitoring wells should be equipped with a pressure transducer to measure piezometric levels at least daily. Water quality samples will be collected quarterly for at least one-year and submitted for analysis of NDEP Profile I suite of analytes to support baseline NEPA studies. Samples can be collected either through installation of low flow bladder pumps or deployment of a small submersible pump. Field data collection sheets for hydrogeologic logging, water quality sampling, piezometer installation, and pumping tests are located in Appendix A of this document.

TASK 4: HYDROLOGIC EVALUATION / TEST WELLS A series of two (2) hydrogeologic evaluation (HE) boreholes are planned to characterize the alluvial aquifer below the project area and along the alluvial apron of Steptoe Valley. The HE boreholes are intended to provide stratigraphic, groundwater elevation and water chemistry data for groundwater occurring in the project area. The HE hole/test wells are planned to be located adjacent to monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2, which will be used during testing to track groundwater response to pumping. The hydrogeologic, geologic, and geophysical data collected from the HE boreholes will be an important source of data needed to characterize alluvial conditions of gravels in the project area. The objectives of the HE borehole/test well investigation is to: •
Aquifer testing, hydrogeologic characterization and productivity assessment of the local alluvial material sourcing water for the project. The HE boreholes will be completed as small diameter test wells to facilitate pumping tests in both locations near MW-1 and MW-2. Testing will consist of an 8-hour step test followed by 72-hour constant rate testing.
•
Evaluate and characterize hydrogeologic conditions to support the final design of production wells and initial pump selection.
•
Conversion to a standpipe piezometer to support NEPA evaluation and Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) level wellfield design. Upon completion of testing the HE holes will be instrumented with vibrating wire piezometers (VWP) and data loggers collect changes in static water levels through time.
The proposed HE hole locations are shown in Figure 6 and summarized in Table 2. A typical HE hole / Test well design is provided in Figure 7. Drill pad layout, access road design, field surveying and dirt work contracting associated with hydrologic evaluation of the well field area will be handled by Basin Engineering prior to drilling reducing overall costs and schedule delays.

Comments
HE Boreholes / Test Wells It is anticipated that the HE holes will be drilled to 800 ft deep. Preliminary design for the HE boreholes includes the test well configuration as a 6-inch well of Low Carbon Steel (LCS) construction using Roscoe Moss Fulflo Louvered screen from below the static water elevation to TD. The HE wells will require a W-waiver from NDWR to investigate for water which will permit the well to remain open for a period of 1-year without an associated water right. Hydrogeologic logs will be kept during drilling with formation cuttings collected every 10 feet or at a change of lithology. A small sample of the cuttings will also be containerized in an appropriately sized clear plastic bags (i.e. “ZIPLOC” freezer bags) and labeled with indelible ink indicating the well and depth interval of the sample. Following the completion of hydrogeologic logging the samples will be shipped for sieve analysis to support screen opening size optimization for design of the wellfield production wells. The drilling contractor will supply a drilling report summarizing daily activities at the end of each workday. The daily report will include a summary of the work shift activities, depth drilled, penetration rates, airlift flow rate, weight on bit, string weight, fluid properties, water usage and other information as designated by the onsite hydrogeologist. These reports will be archived as a reference during development of the design for the Pre-feasibility wellfield. Upon reaching total depth of the HE borehole, downhole geophysical surveys will be completed to evaluate formation characteristics and provide further characterization to aid alluvial stratigraphic correlation. The geophysical logging company will perform all work and furnish all labor, materials, equipment and services required to conduct the geophysical logging of the well as indicated below. Logs will be provided in digital format via email, in American Petroleum Institute (API) format, vertical scale of 1-inch equals 10 feet linear and logarithmic plots. All logs will be made along the full saturated depth of the borehole. At a minimum, the logs will consist of: •
Spontaneous Potential Log
•
Short Normal and Long Normal Resistivity Log (16- and 64-inch spacing)

•
Single Point Resistivity Log
•
Natural Gamma Log
•
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance log (NMR)
•
Downhole seismic velocity log
•
Caliper log
•
Deviation Survey
Upon completion of the well, aquifer testing will consist of a 72-hour constant rate pumping test using a 4-inch diameter pump. Preliminary step rate pumping will be performed to identify the stress rate for the 72-hour pumping test. Pumped water will be discharged to ground surface. A temporary discharge permit is not anticipated to be necessary for this test unless pumping rate exceeds 250 gpm. Discharge from the alluvial HE-holes tests should be collected and submitted for laboratory analysis for the following parameters: •
NDEP Profile I (for aquifer characterization and comparison with alluvial monitoring wells);
•
Ryznar stability index (as a potential corrosion indicator).

Basin Engineering Hydrogeologic Investigation Workplan
TASK 5: PUMPING TESTS Pumping test programs will be conducted at the alluvial HE/test well sites and will include: •
Step test. The purpose of the step test is to (i) estimate each well’s specific capacity and (ii) to determine the optimal pumping rate for the constant-rate tests.
•
Constant rate test (72-hours or longer): The purpose of the constant rate test is to (i) estimate the far field hydrogeologic parameters (i.e. transmissivity, storativity), (ii) identify hydraulic boundaries such as faults or areas of recharge, and (iii) approximate operating conditions of the well.
The step test will be completed first to evaluate the well’s productivity, efficiency, and to finalize the pumping rate for the long-term test. Data collection via pressure transducers during the testing will be collected, archived and reported by the site hydrogeologist. The rig operation crew will be required to furnish equipment and record water levels during testing using manual data collection means for backup purposes. The preliminary test pumping rate is anticipated to be approximately 200 gpm but will be adjusted based on HE / test well step testing results. The total dynamic head (TDH) for each test will be determined based on the results of the pumping tests and incorporated into the final production well designs. A range of possible testing rates between 150 and 240 gpm is anticipated depending on aquifer conditions. Variable TDH conditions may be encountered, depending on observed well hydraulics. Water quality sampling will be conducted during testing to satisfy temporary discharge permit requirements and to provide data on aquifer water quality to support material selection for the preliminary well designs for the production wellfield. A brief summary of pumping test activities is provided in the following sections.
STEP TESTING An 8-hour step test will be completed to identify the appropriate pumping rate for constant rate testing of the well. An initial pumping rate will be estimated based on the test well airlift production rate achieved during well development. The well will be stressed using a series of four pumping steps at 50%, 75%, 100%, and 125% of the design production pumping rate. Each step will last a minimum of 100 minutes, or until pumping water levels have stabilized. After the final step, the pump will be turned off and water level recovery will be monitored. Following the completion of the fourth step, recovery measurements will be taken until recovery reaches at least 90% of the original static water level.

Page 13 Project 4500 October 2022
Basin Engineering Hydrogeologic Investigation Workplan
CONSTANT RATE TEST Following completion of step testing and recovery, a 72-hour constant-rate pumping test will be conducted at the design capacity. The same equipment used for the step rate test will be used to conduct the constant rate pumping test. The constant rate pumping test will characterize the hydraulic efficiency of the well and identify potential hydraulic boundaries. Recovery monitoring following completion of the constant rate pumping test will continue for a period equal to the duration of the pumping test. Recovery data will be collected using the transducers and data loggers.
CONSTANT-RATE PUMPING TEST DATA ANALYSES The results of pumping test analyses will be used for hydrogeologic characterization of the alluvium and bedrock groundwater systems in the project area and to update and refine the hydrogeologic CSM. The type curves developed from drawdown data will be used to identify the appropriate analytical method to analyze aquifer parameters. At a minimum, aquifer test data will be analyzed using the methods of Cooper-Jacob (1946) and Theis (1935) to estimate aquifer hydraulic parameters including transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity and storage properties. More complex methods evaluating delayed yield response, recharge/barrier hydraulic boundaries, confining layers, or dual porosity models will be employed as necessary. Ultimately the aquifer tests will provide data for development of a standard production well design, calibrate the numerical groundwater model in support of NEPA analysis, and estimate the potential response of the static groundwater level during production wellfield operation. A forward-looking analytical projection of drawdown versus distance will be developed using the aquifer properties derived from testing. This analytical assessment will provide an immediate screening level analysis to evaluate potential influences on neighboring stakeholders and if needed modify the wellfield configuration.

Basin Engineering Hydrogeologic Investigation Workplan
TASK 6: PRE-FEASIBILITY WELLFIELD DESIGNS The results of HE borehole drilling and test well pumping analyses will be used to develop prefeasibility wellfield designs. Hydrogeologic data collected during monitoring and testing will support the wellfield design to define: •
Total number of wells, plus contingency to meet construction and operation demand
•
Optimized well locations to reduce drawdown interference
•
Optimal well design (depth, diameter, screen interval, screen opening, gravel pack size and gradation) to drill and complete efficient and sustainable production
•
Pump, pipeline, and power requirements
•
Potential drawdown effects on neighbouring stakeholders
It is envisioned that as many as four alluvial production wells may be needed for long term water supply. The locations of additional production wells, if needed, will be determined using the updated CSM. However, the wellfield design and configuration may be significantly altered if dewatering is deemed necessary to facilitate tunneling and shaft sinking. In which case dewatering discharge may be the source for construction and reservoir filling water.

Hi Moira, In coordinating with rPlus regarding the White Pine project, Greg mentioned that while he was meeting with you a couple weeks ago, you indicated there is a lek in south Steptoe Valley, east of Ely. Would you be able to share the name, status, and location of that lek so we can account for it in our waiver request for the hydro drilling (if needed) and additional data reporting? Below is the list of lek locations that we have been previously provided by NDOW that are within 4 miles of the project, we just want to be sure we’re not missing anything.

Maggie, Unfortunately I can’t provide all that information directly, you will need to do a sensitive data request. When you fill out the request you will need to specifically ask for the location. I can tell you that it is the Moiser lek and it is active. I’m pretty sure it is with the 4 mile buffer of where Greg was describing the monitoring well but it could also be just outside of the buffer. If you have a coordinate I could check. Thanks Moira

She’s not very concerned about noise from drilling of the monitoring well reaching the lek, so long as they not drill during lek hours (already included in the waiver request), the lek is near the urban areas so there’s already some ambient noise, although she did say it’s still pretty quiet, and the southern most well that is the closest to the lek is between 2 active gravel pits. She confirmed this as well with the coordinates I sent last week. So, not a deal breaker, she’s not concerned about it. She said the GIS group is pretty backlogged right now, so I’ll give them a week, but if we don’t hear back and absolutely need to get that point on a map, she’ll get it to me. She monitors this lek every season, she said it’s like 5minutes out her back yard, so we probably won’t be counting it regardless. It’s an active lek. Per item 4 on Pam’s list, I’m not sure about this. Per the Hydro study POD the monitoring wells will be used for at least 3 years. In GIS files I found on Box dated from August, there is an access road that heads that direction as a part of the ‘permanent footprint’, and I think that is leading down to the production well field that Greg referred to in my phone call with him yesterday. However, there are no well pads included in this permanent footprint, so I can’t figure out what’s going on. To me it seemed like this road needs to be included in the FLA… Purple lines are from the file ProjectFootrpint_Permanent

This email has been received from outside of DOI - Use caution before clicking on links, opening attachments, or responding.
Mr. Strother, As a follow up to our discussion on Tuesday afternoon, please find attached a revised version of the POD associated with the subject application. In answer to your questions below, please find the following information: 1. A commitment in the POD to repair any access road damage that may result from the Hydrogeologic Investigation work. Sections 2.1.3 and 2.2.2 of the attached revised POD have been amended to include this commitment. 2. How will the groundwater that will be removed be handled/managed? This question applies to both the groundwater flush-water generated during the quarterly groundwater sampling effort at the monitoring well locations, and the groundwater to be removed during the testing activities at the hydrogeologic investigation wells, HE-1 and HE-2. a. During the quarterly sampling of each monitoring well approximately 205 gallons of water will be generated during purging at each well. b. After drilling, the monitoring wells will require development and an airlift test. Developing each monitoring well will require six (6) hours of pumping at 75 gpm, for a total of 27,000 gallons of water to be managed. For the open hole airlift test, each monitoring well will require eight (8) hours of pumping at 75 gpm, for a total of 36,000 gallons of water to be managed. c. After drilling, the hydrogeologic test wells will require development, a step rate test, and a constant rate test. Developing each hydrogeologic test well will require forty (40) hours of pumping at 100 gpm for a total of 240,000 gallons of water to be managed. For the step rate test, each hydrogeologic test well will require eight (8) hours of pumping at 175 gpm, for a total of 84,000 gallons of water to be managed. For the
constant rate test, each hydrogeologic test well will require seventy-two (72) hours of pumping at 150 gpm, for a total of 648,000 gallons of water to be managed. As is the typical practice during groundwater sampling activities in Nevada, this water will be dispositioned via discharge to surface while employing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control any potential erosion/channeling. BMP can/will consist of straw bales and rolled straw booms to route flow and minimize sediment load and/or use of a perforated pipe to evenly distribute the surface flow. For the testing of the hydrogeologic test wells, even though there is no expectation of any discharge that may affect directly or indirectly the waters of the State of Nevada or that may discharge to or into the waters of the State of Nevada, rPlus may elect to obtain a Temporary Discharge Permit (TDP) from Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. Obtaining a TDP requires completion of an application that contains relevant information about the testing plan, pumped volumes, and timing. The TDP will require discharge monitoring during the testing and the reporting of the discharge volumes as well as the collection of a water sample for Profile I analysis near the termination of the testing. In addition, rPlus will be required to a) obtain an Exploratory Well Waiver (W) permit (Form 4027F) from the State Engineer of the State of Nevada “TO DRILL A WELL TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF WATER IN A DESIGNATED BASIN”, and b) file a Notice of Intent to Drill (Form 4011) with the Nevada Division of Water Resources, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. 3. Will there be any sump pits utilized during drilling or will a bladder be used? Depending on the specific drill rig and its setup, ground sumps would be utilized for drilling mud and cuttings disposition. Surface mud tanks are widely available and can be used to contain and recondition the drilling fluid, but the cuttings from the drill hole will be blended with subsurface soils and dispositioned in a pit on site during the reclamation efforts, and prior to covering with replaced topsoil. 4. You requested that rPlus include representative examples of the type of drill rigs that might be utilized during the Hydrogeologic Investigation Two drill rigs will be utilized. A drill rig like an IR TH75 for drilling the monitoring wells, and a drill rig similar to a DH-1 for the drilling of the hydrogeologic test wells, would likely be sufficient. 5. You requested that rPlus reevaluate the proposed size of the drill pads or provide additional justification for a 175’ x 175’ drill pad (with its concomitant disturbance of surface area topsoil and native vegetation). rPlus notes that for each proposed general drilling location, the monitoring wells and hydrogeologic test wells will be drilled from a common drill pad, will be adjacent to existing roads/trails, and will utilize existing roads/trails for access of personnel and equipment. The proposed drill pads and the well locations are adjacent to existing and active disturbed areas and/or transmission line structures. Nonetheless, rPlus has reevaluated the proposed size of
the drill pads and concluded that for each of the drill pads that will be utilized for HE-1/MW1 and HE-2/MW-2, the drill pad size can be reduced to 150’x150’ and for MW-3 the drill pad size can be reduced to 100’x100’. Table 2 in Section 2.2.1 of the attached revised POD has been amended to reflect the changes to these drill pad sizes. 6. You requested that rPlus forward the associated shape files. Complete – forwarded via email on Monday, November 7th. If you have any other questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me via return email at gcopeland@rplusenergies.com or by phone at (801) 759-2223.

Lil, As a follow up to my voicemail, I am forwarding the White Pine Waterpower team’s study plan for addressing the Park Service’s outstanding comments on visual, recreation, and socioeconomic research and reporting for the proposed White Pine Pumped Storage Project. Attached is an Executive Summary of the plan, visitor use assessment, and additional information regarding photosimulations. The team has put considerable effort into the plan and believes it both addresses the Park Service’s comments and provides FERC sufficient information to evaluate project effects. We have noted a few areas for further consultation with the Park Service as needed, so please let us know if you have comments or questions. We would like to confirm the KOPs and panoramic views by December 23, finalize the visitor information survey by January 6, and will be working to prepare various sections of the supplement to the socioeconomic report by the end of January. We will reaching out to NNR, with Mark Bassett and counsel copied on this email, on the outstanding NNR data requests as well. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

Executive Summary White Pine Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 14851) Study Plan to Address National Park Service Comments Dated May 17, 2022 White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) c/o rPlus Energies (rPlus) is seeking a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license and other necessary permits to construct and operate the White Pine Pumped Storage Project (Project) in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 8 miles northeast of the City of Ely. The proposed Project will entail the construction of a new 1,000-megawatt (MW), closedloop, pumped-storage facility comprised of two new reservoirs joined by underground or surface conduits; a powerhouse and associated generation, pumping, and transmission equipment; and transmission lines routed in the 110-114 corridor of Section 368, Region 3. WPW filed the Draft License Application with FERC February 17, 2022. Visual and aesthetic, recreation, and socioeconomic study reports based on studies conducted in 2021 were appended to the DLA. National Park Service (NPS) filed comments on the DLA on May 17, 2022. In their comments, NPS requested additional research and reporting to revise or append these three study reports. To respond to these comments and prepare the Final License Application (FLA) accordingly, rPlus intends to perform additional visual, recreation, and socioeconomic research and reporting. After reviewing NPS comments on the DLA and appended study reports, rPlus consulted with NPS via email and telephone, and conducted a meeting August 2, 2022 discuss NPS issues regarding the three resource studies: Visual and Aesthetic Resources, Recreation Resources, and Socioeconomic Studies. After the August 2 meeting, rPlus continued in consultation with NPS to identify potential additional Key Observation Points (KOPs), collect photographs to support the planned research and reporting, and develop the Nevada Northern Railway (NNR) visitor survey questionnaires. As a result of these consultations, rPlus, NPS, and NNR agreed on certain specific action items as follows: •
• •
rPlus will develop potential locations for additional KOPs. NPS and rPlus will consult further on finalizing these locations. (Proposed KOPs and availability of photographs collected are described below.) rPlus will finalize the general visitor questionnaire and develop a photosimulation questionnaire in consultation with NPS. (Steps to finalize questionnaires and survey implementation plan are described below.) rPlus will submit a request to NPS and NNR describing rPlus’ information needs for supplementing the Socioeconomic Study Report. NNR expressed willingness to provide the requested information. (Requests delivered August 9, 2022 and ___.)
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study rPlus will supplement the 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Report with analysis of two additional KOPs, one on the NNR HiLine (KOP 12 at 210o) and one on the Mainline (KOP 18 at 30o) (Figure 1). rPlus will provide digital photographs collected in 2022 to NPS, and consult with NPS to confirm the two KOPs (and the respective view angle) to be used to supplement the 2021 study report. rPlus will prepare up to four (4) panorama photosimulations for use in the visual simulation survey described in the Recreation Resources section below. The photosimulations will be developed from
photographs collected in August and September 2022. Locations for the panorama photosimulations are KOP 4 (between 60o and 150o), KOP 5 (between 270o and 90o), KOP 15 (between 90o and 180o), and KOP 16 (between 180o and 0o) (Figure 1). rPlus will consult with NPS to confirm the panoramas to be prepared for use in the Recreation Resources and Socioeconomics study efforts.
Recreation Resources Study rPlus will conduct a visitor assessment, and results will be used to prepare a supplement to 2021 Recreation Resources Study Report and used to inform the socioeconomic analysis described below. The visitor assessment will include conducting a two-part NNR visitor survey. The first portion of the questionnaire is designed to collect information on visitors’ demographic characteristics (e.g., zip code, group size, age) and to elicit information on visitors’ characteristics, and their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences about the NNR HiLine excursions. This portion of the questionnaire is presented in Attachment 1 and includes revisions suggested by NPS (L. Jonas email to J. Wood, 8/17/22). A second section for the questionnaire will include a series of questions based on a) the current Project condition photographs and b) the proposed Project feature photosimulations described above. rPlus will prepare the photosimulation portion of the questionnaire, and consult with NPS to finalize the questionnaire before conducting the visitor surveys. Provided NNR grants permission, rPlus will administer the survey at the NNR depot and/or on excursion train rides during both peak and off-peak periods, May through June 2023, with a target of completing 400 to 500 surveys. 1 rPlus will consult with NPS on the details of implementation. The primary method of survey implementation will be in-person and on-site at the NNR Depot or on the HiLine excursions; a secondary method will be via an on-line web-based survey. Survey results will be used to supplement the 2021 Recreation Resources Study Report to summarize NNR visitor demographics, perceptions, attitudes, and preferences; and to inform the socioeconomic analysis described below.
Socioeconomics Study The purpose of this analysis is to complete an economic impact study of NNR and the possible impacts of the proposed Project on its operations. The study aims to collect and analyze data and multiple lines of information on NNR and its operations that could inform this assessment. The study will develop the baseline economic footprint of NNR, analyze NNR offerings, volume of NNR visitors, NNR revenues, as well as conduct surveys of NNR visitors on their experiences and valued visit attributes.

From: Jonas, Lilian M <lilian_jonas@contractor.nps.gov> Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2022 12:37 AM To: Julia Wood <jwood@rockcreekenergygroup.com> Cc: Rice, Barbara M <Barbara_Rice@nps.gov>; Rosebrough-Jones, Susan E <Susan_Rosebrough@nps.gov>; Kevin Baker <kbaker@rplusenergies.com>; Gregory Copeland <gcopeland@rplusenergies.com>; Mark Bassett <president@nnry.com>; Griff, Marvin <Marvin.Griff@thompsonhine.com> Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] WPW Follow-Up Hello Julia, The NPS reviewed White Pine Waterpower, LLC (WPW) Study Plan to Address National Park Service Comments Dated May 17, 2022 (Study Plan) and have two primary concerns with the proposed studies. These are the same concerns that you and I discussed during our TEAMs meeting last Friday (November 2, 2022). Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Under Task 1 in the schedule table found on pages 2-3 of the Study Plan, the first item listed is to confirm KOPs and panorama views in consultation with the NPS by December 23, 2022. On page 1 of the Study Plan, WPW states that they will “provide digital photographs collected in 2022 to NPS, and consult with NPS to confirm the two additional KOPs (and the respective view angle) to be used to supplement the 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Study Report.” On page 2 of the Study Plan, WPW state that they will “consult with NPS to confirm the panoramas to be prepared for use in the Recreation Resources and Socioeconomics study efforts.” While WPW consulted with the NPS and Nevada Northern Railway regarding the KOP location and photo directions and the photographs were collected in late August/early September 2022, the NPS and Nevada Northern Railway were not provided the opportunity to review these photographs and assess which ones would be best suited to include in the proposed studies. Instead, WPW provided the locations and photograph angles that they and/or their consultant considered were best representative of impacts for the studies. The NPS is concerned that WPW made their decision on KOP locations, view angles, and panoramas to include in the studies without consultation with the NPS and Nevada Northern Railway. We thus request access to the photos collected in late August/early September and a meeting with WPW’s consultant regarding the methods used in selecting the KOPs and photo directions on the map dated November 17, 2022. Due to the number of photographs taken, the holiday season, and the need to involve other stakeholders who are knowledgeable of the Project area, such as Nevada Northern Railway, I do not believe we can meet the December 23 deadline to confirm the KOPs to include in the studies. Recreation Resource Study Under Task 2 in the schedule table found on pages 2-3 of the Study Plan, the first item listed is to conduct a visitor information survey, including photosimulation questions in coordination with Northern Nevada Railway, with the proposed survey period being May 15 - June 26, 2023. The NPS does not believe that conducting the visitor survey for six weeks would represent the train ridership that occurs throughout the year. While the portion of the survey incorporating the photosimulations showing the affected area before and after project construction could be conducted over a shorter time-period (although we are not sure if six weeks is sufficient for that
survey), the visitor information survey aimed at gathering data on visitor characteristics, attitudes, and preferences for the train rides should be conducted year long as the train is operated year long. Different seasons likely attract different types of visitors, and trains during the “off season” are often booked in well-in advance (e.g., Haunted Ghost Train, Santa’s Reindeer Flyer, Fire and Ice Fireworks Train, etc.). For these reasons, the NPS requested that the visitor information survey be conducted year-long in our original study request filed with FERC on November 2, 2020. In addition, NPS’s comments/edits on WPW’s draft report to FERC regarding the August 2, 2022 Joint Meeting that I emailed to you on August 17, 2022, includes the statement that the “seasonal nature of train rides was also discussed at the Joint Meeting, reflecting the necessity of administering surveys throughout the year.” In that same email was an edited version of the visitor information survey instrument that the NPS felt was adequate to administer at that time, which would have allowed WPW to gather visitor data during the fall season. While the NPS has additional concerns regarding the Study Plan, the above are the two that need the most immediate attention. Let me know if you have any questions or want to set up any meetings to address NPS’s concerns. I am in the process of moving and will be mostly unavailable the rest of this week but will be available beginning the week of December 12. Respectfully, Lil Lilian M.

Dear Julia, I’m writing this to you on behalf of Nevada Northern Railway Foundation (NNRF) in support of the concerns we share with the NPS as it discussed in the email below. NNRF is disappointed and confused by WPW’s Study Plan. It appears to NNRF that WPW has turned its back on the collaborative approach and understandings that were agreed upon arising from the August 2, 2022, joint meeting (Joint Meeting) held in Ely, Nevada. This development is particularly troubling because NNRF has dedicated a considerable amount of time and resources to assist WPW in connection with improving its project studies. NNRF’s president Mark Bassett literally has a railroad to run, yet he has devoted significant attention to improve upon KOP locations and various other details involving the photographs that WPW needs for its project studies. Mr. Bassett firmly believes it is important that WPW have suitable study pictures from the viewpoint of the railroad’s passengers. For this reason and at the NNRF’s expense, Mr. Bassett arranged for and made available two special trains to WPW’s staff in early September so that they could obtain the study photographs consistent with the understandings that the railroad had reached with WPW. Indeed, following that unique photo opportunity made possible by NNRF, WPW’s program manager thanked Mr. Bassett and his staff for their “professionalism and gracious assistance.” Now, however, it appears that NNRF’s efforts and hopes for a concomitant degree of cooperation by WPW may have been for naught. Even though WPW took its study-related photographs during the summer, it was Thanksgiving
week before NPS heard back from WPW with its request to “confirm the KOPs and panoramic views by December 23.” In connection with this request for a quick turn-around, WPW has not offered the NPS, NNRF or other stakeholders a reasonable opportunity to review the photographs for suitability. Instead, WPW says that it has put “considerable effort” into its “study plan for addressing” the NPS’s “outstanding comments,” indicating that WPW ‘knows best’ which photographs should be used in the upcoming studies. WPW’s representations and assurances provide little comfort to NNRF. WPW is well aware that the September photographs it plans to use for its studies are from various additional locations, different view angles, and involve panoramic views that WPW and its consultant have selected without further input from the NPS or NNRF. There can be little disagreement that the NNRF’s interests are unique and directly threatened by the project unless proper safeguards are in place and followed. In these circumstances, NNRF’s interests cannot be adequately protected by WPW or its consultant regarding their unilateral selection of the study photographs, however well intended. NNRF believes there are other significant problems with the photographs that also need to be addressed. Notably, the September photographs were not taken by a professional photographer, and at the time the photographs were captured, the 24-50mm camera lens being used may not have been set properly at 50mm consistent with BLM and NPS guidance on photo simulations. For this reason alone, further review of the photographs by the NPS and NNRF for use in the project studies is necessary. NNRF also shares NPS’s concerns regarding WPW’s visitor survey proposal. As discussed by NPS, WPW’s attenuated May 15-June 26, 2023, survey period is inconsistent with the discussions and understandings arising from the Joint Meeting during which NPS and NNRF emphasized the importance and need for administering surveys throughout the full year. NPS states that on August 17, 2022, it emailed WPW “an edited version of the visitor information survey instrument that the NPS felt was adequate to administer at that time, which would have allowed WPW to gather visitor data during the fall season.” WPW chose not to begin conducting its survey during the fall, and now contends its
abbreviated survey period will suffice. NNRF strongly disagrees. Among other things, WPW’s compressed survey period would omit the railroad’s busy Fourth of July and Christmas holiday season visitor data, and it would miss data from significant levels of ‘snow-bird’ visits that occur during the fall. Simply put, WPS’s shortened survey period would neither be representative nor reliable. Notwithstanding these and other concerns, NNRF remains committed to working collaboratively with WPW. NNRF has previously stated that it is willing to allow survey implementation at the railway Depot and on its trains. NNRF is also prepared to address other survey-related matters that might arise. NNRF’s continued cooperation, however, cannot be one-sided and must be reciprocated by WPW. Lastly, NNRF confirms its willingness to provide responses to WPW’s information requests regarding the railroad. In this regard, we ask (again) that WPW’s counsel contact me directly to confirm the specific information it is seeking and to discuss the process for providing the information to WPW.

I left you a message but understand you are unavailable today. We’d like to set up a time for a meeting next week with NPS and NNR representatives to talk through sharing of the photographs and provide some additional information about the KOPs proposed for photo-simulation and panoramic photosimulation for which we will seek NPS and NNR input. We’d also like to clarify the visitor use survey. My understanding is that rPlus intends to conduct a single survey that includes the photo-simulations, as visitor information and assessment alone without the photo-simulations is unlikely to inform the recreation resources or socioeconomic studies. We can talk that through in the meeting. I spoke with NNR’s counsel to ask for availability to join the meeting next week and talked through information sharing. I will follow up in a separate email. Please let us know the NPS availability for a meeting next week. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

The Railway has been essential in the development of the Key Observation Points (KOPs) for the photosimulations and should be included in the review of the resultant photos and determining which ones to include in the visitor perceptions survey. They are also willing to assist in determining the location(s) of survey instrument delivery. If they are unable to attend tomorrow’s meeting, I request that the meeting be rescheduled to after Christmas. As of now, only one representative of the NPS (Barbara Rice) is able to attend the meeting, so rescheduling may be more inclusive to additional NPS personnel attending the meeting. Thank you for considering these matters, Lil Lilian M. Jonas, PhD Jonas Consulting 541-441-5045
WHITE PINE PUMPED STORAGE PROJECT Meeting with NPS
December 20, 2022
AGENDA I.
Discussion of Studies and Information Gathering i. Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study ii. Recreation Resources Study iii. Socioeconomic Study
II. Discussion of Next Steps
2
Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study What WPW Did: • Provided 10 photosimulations in the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report to the project. • Representative views were selected based on a viewshed analysis and included input from stakeholders. • Three of the photosimulations were located on the HiLine route, with one dark sky photo located at the stargazing platform. • A videosimulation of the project is also publicly available. • WPW obtained additional photographs as requested.
3
Methods for taking the photos 1. Pictures were taken under the guidance and direction of a professional photographer. 2. Every photo angle was shot at both 24 mm and 50 mm with a higher data resolution camera from a tripod that was leveled horizontally before each shot and set to the same camera height for the photographs taken on each day. 3. The camera angle of each picture was verified using a compass reading and recorded for future reference. The camera angle interval (20 degrees) was selected to ensure each picture had adequate “overlap” with the pictures on either “side” of a specific camera angle. 4. For the pictures taken from the railroad flatcar, the camera height was selected on the day the pictures were taken based on a consensus agreement of the rider view height in an attempt to capture the likely rider experience while riding on the train. Because the railroad flatcar (and the rail itself) were not always exactly horizontal (particularly when stopped on a curve), the camera needed to be re-leveled (while also ensuring a consistent camera height) at each KOP to ensure the pictures were reliably along a horizontal plane.

To ensure this email message makes it, I have elected to send the zip file in a separate email, primarily so that you know the presentation slide deck has been sent. The entire photo deck is approximately 450 pictures that comprise about 25 GB of data.

Hello Greg, Thank you for sending a copy of rPlus’ PowerPoint presentation used during the December 20th video conference call meeting and agreeing to work on preparing a secure and appropriate platform to host the roughly 450 KOP photos to allow review by stakeholders. As discussed during the meeting, the purpose of the review is to allow the NPS, Nevada Northern Railway, and other interested parties an opportunity to recommend which photos and KOPs would be best to use in the photosimulations. Those recommendations would be based on the view of the proposed Project facilities from the perspective of railway passengers. We also discussed that upon further stakeholder review of the photos, there may not be full agreement with rPlus on the KOPs, lens focal length, and photograph angles that rPlus and their consultants consider are best representative of impacts for the studies that may necessitate further discussion with you. During our review of the KOP photographs discussed during the PowerPoint presentation, it became clear that determining which photos would best represent Project impacts would be difficult without some form of reference or marker indicating where Project facilities would be located on the photos. WPW’s initial Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Plan mentioned the use of a simple massing study to create a useful representation of the volume and dimensions of Project facilities on the photos without generating all the details of full-scale photosimulations. We request something akin to what would be produced with a massing study to provide the general location and size of Project facilities on the photos. We don’t expect that all 450 photos be marked-up but ask that rPlus provide at least two markups for each KOP where multiple/panoramic photos were taken, and one markup for the single frame KOPs. These markups will provide a frame of reference needed to gain a better understanding of what train passengers would see at each KOP thereby allowing us to determine which photos should be further developed for the photosimulations. We believe this approach is a cost-effective and efficient way to improve and meet all parties’ expectations regarding the photosimulation endeavor. Thank you and I wish you a wonderful New Year!

Please excuse the delay in getting back to you on the delivery of the photos. I was unfortunately not available for most of last week. The full suite of photos that were taken in August and September 2022 are available for everyone included in the distribution list of this email. Those photos are in a folder titled “Photosimulation_Pictures_by_KOP – ALL” and can be found at https://rplusenergies.app.box.com/folder/188733164283?s=0gfdc54tr9m7tpxw4fosql0e3gia5br5. The subfolders are grouped according to the KOP location and the corresponding folder naming convention shows the KOP identifier (as shown on the attached map), the date, and the relative time-of-day (am or pm) that the photos were taken. The photos taken in August used 14mm and 24mm focal length lenses and were taken at 8’ above the rail (to proximate the rider view height), and at 30-degree increments. The photos taken in September used 24mm and 50mm focal length lenses and were taken from the NNRY rail flatcar for the KOP’s on the HiLine rail line, and at 8’ above the rail (to proximate the rider view height) for the KOP’s on the Mainline. The photos taken in September were taken at 20-degree increments. The naming convention for the photo files shows the KOP identifier, the compass angle of the picture, and the focal length of the lens that was used in taking the photos. For ease of reference, the folder titled, “Proposed Supplemental Photos and Photosimulations” includes the suite of photos that were shown during the most recent presentation and reflect the KOP locations and camera angles that were proposed (as shown on the attached map). To be clear, while the subfolders include both the photos taken in August and September, to resolve the NPS’s concerns regarding the focal length of the photos to be used in the supplement to the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, rPlus is proposing to only use the pictures obtained utilizing the 50mm lens. As you discussed with Ms. Wood, we are working on several of the photos to show general points of reference for the project features and hope to be able to deliver those amended photos by Monday.

Also, thank you for agreeing to markup several of those photos (at least two from each panoramic KOPs and one from the single-frame KOPs) to provide a frame of reference of the Project features. However, considering the number of photos to review and the fact that we will not receive the marked-up photos until Monday, it is not possible to complete the review and provide constructive input during next week’s (January 11) meeting. Based on a call I received from Julia earlier this week, I understand that rPlus wants some agreements/final decisions to be made on the photosimulations and recreation studies, but I don’t see how we can accomplish that considering having just received a link to the hundreds of photos to review and not yet receiving the marked-up versions by which we can assess them more accurately. In Greg’s email dated December 21, 2022, he stated that rPlus is “working on getting a secure and appropriate platform to host the pictures that will allow everyone access. We hope to have that solved by tomorrow.” On that same day, Julia sent out the Doodle Poll to set up the meeting. The NPS and Railway were thus expecting to have had a chance to review the photos well before the meeting, starting on December 22, and being able to make informed suggestions on preferred KOPs for the photosimulations, but unfortunately that did not happen. Pushing the meeting to the following week (January 16-20) or beyond would result in a more constructive meeting where decisions could possibly be made. It would also allow for the opportunity for additional NPS staff members to join the meeting. Thank you for considering my/NPS’s request, Lil Lilian M. Jonas, PhD Jonas Consulting 541-441-5045

GregI hope the new year is treating you well so far. A while back we had talked briefly about having a more in-depth conversation regarding mule deer and possible mitigation. As the project is starting to pick up a little more steam it seems like now might be a good time to have that in-depth conversation. We have availability to meet January 24 to 27 and February 13 to 17. Thanks Moira

Hello Julia, Thank you for rescheduling the meeting to allow time for the NPS, Nevada Norther Railway, and other stakeholders review the suite of photos that Mr. Copeland provided a link to last Thursday (January 5). In that same email, Mr. Copeland stated that rPlus is working on several of the photos to show general points of reference for the project features (which you and I discussed in a previous call) and hopes to be able to deliver those amended photos by this past Monday (January 9). Unfortunately, I have not received any further information regarding those marked-up photos, which are essential for us to assess the suite of photos and determining which KOPs would be best suited for use in the photosimulation process, including those to be used in the visitor experience/aesthetics survey. I am concerned that we may have to reschedule the meeting again due to not having the necessary tools to make informed decisions related to the photosimulations. Respectfully, Lil Lilian M.

Thank you Kevin, Can you please send the link to all the other stakeholders (NPS, Great Basin National Heritage Area, and Nevada Northern Railway)? I don’t believe that anyone at the NPS received a link from you (just from Greg and it didn’t work). The president of the Railway, Mark Basset, said he didn’t receive a link from you, but the Railway’s attorney Marvin Griff did receive one and he shared it with me last week but it didn’t work, so I believe the links to the photos need to come directly from you.

All, Lil is correct that I received a working link that allowed me to access KOP photos for review through the Box site. None of the photos I’ve seen so far has reflected mark-up/reference points that were supposed to have been sent in a follow-up email. Even if the marked-up photos were to arrive today, there is insufficient time for our review to be performed in order to be prepared for the all-hands call previously set for this Friday.

Those that show as pending have not yet accepted the invitation to the folder. Those that show as having “Viewer” access have accepted the invitation and have full accessibility to the files contained in the folders and sub-folders. I have refreshed the link to the folder at https://rplusenergies.app.box.com/folder/188733164283?s=0gfdc54tr9m7tpxw4fosql0e3gia5br5 Please let me know if that link does not work. As noted previously, the full suite of photos that were taken in August and September 2022 are available for everyone noted below. Those photos are in the folder titled “Photosimulation_Pictures_by_KOP – ALL”. The subfolders are grouped according to the KOP location and the corresponding folder naming convention shows the KOP identifier (as shown on the attached map), the date, and the relative time-of-day (am or pm) that the photos were taken. The naming convention for the photo files shows the KOP identifier, the compass angle of the picture, and the focal length of the lens that was used in taking the photos. The photos taken in August used 14mm and 24mm focal length lenses and were taken at 8’ above the rail (to proximate the rider view height), and at 30-degree increments. The photos taken in September from the NNRY rail flatcar for the KOP’s on the HiLine rail line used 24mm and 50mm focal length lenses. The photos taken in September for the KOP’s on the Mainline used 24mm and 50mm focal length lenses and were taken from 8’ above the rail (to proximate the rider view height). The photos taken in September were taken at 20degree increments. For ease of reference, the folder titled, “Proposed Supplemental Photos and Photosimulations” includes the suite of photos that were shown during the most recent presentation and reflect the KOP locations and camera angles that were proposed (as shown on the attached map). To be clear, while the subfolders include both the photos taken in August and September, to resolve the NPS’s concerns regarding the focal length of the photos to be used in the supplement to the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study, rPlus is proposing to only use the pictures obtained utilizing the 50mm lens. A new sub-folder will be uploaded shortly that shows the relative location of project features, to include: one picture each from KOP-12 and KOP-18, and two pictures each from KOP-16, KOP-15, KOP-4, and KOP-5 (total of 10 pictures). Each picture utilizes only the 50mm focal length, as noted above. The process of converting the .NEF files of the original pictures to .pdf files ultimately involved an arduous multi-step process. Please let me know if you have any questions about these project feature pictures.
For clarification, KOP-12 was proposed because this is the proximate location where the NNRY train stops for the evening sunset viewing, and for the night-skies viewing experience. KOP-16 was proposed because of its closest proximity to, and likely overlook of, the lower reservoir. KOP-15 was proposed specifically to include an eastern view of the proposed tunnel opening and electrical switchstation facilities. KOP-4 was proposed to provide a photosimilation of the access road from the closest vantage point. KOP-5 was proposed because this is the location of the NNRY rail night-skies viewing platform and will include the access road and other project features viewed to the north, and KOP-18 was proposed to provide a view of the project facilities from the Mainline looking northeast. As an additional item of clarification, the attached map now includes the final revised proposed access road from the Steptoe Valley. This revised access road route is a more direct path to the upper reservoir that was specifically re-designed to reduce the visual impact to the HighLine rail line and Hwy 93. Again, please let me know if there are any problems accessing the pictures, if anyone else needs to be invited to view the folder, or if there are any questions about the information in this email.

In my initial review, I find them helpful in “picturing” where proposed project facilities would be located and seen by passengers on the train. However, since the reason we requested these mark-ups is for us (the NPS and Nevada Northern Railway) to determine which KOPs would best represent the impacts to train passengers’ viewsheds and experiences, we also need similar mark-ups for the other KOPs (11, 13, 14, 17, and 20). For instance, the mark-ups for KOP 12 indicate that Project facilities would not be visible from this location. This plus the fact that the location is not where all trains stop and prepare to head back to Ely (we need to double check with Mark Basset on the turn-around location, but I believe it is different for each train based on type of train and time of year), we may end up requesting that this KOP not be used for the photosimulations. We thus need to see mark-ups for possible replacement KOPs, such as KOP 14. This are just my initial thoughts on the KOPs: I need to see the mark ups for the other KOPs to complete my review. Thank you, Lil Lilian M. Jonas, PhD Jonas Consulting 541-441-5045

Hello Greg, This afternoon, I worked with Nevada Northern Railway reviewing the KOP photos that were marked up showing the relative location of several project features, which included photos for KOPs 4, 5, 12, 16, and 18. Based on those marked-up photos and looking through some of the original photos, we agreed that photos from some of these KOPs would be appropriate to move forward for creating photosimulations, and also identified some that may not be appropriate and possibly should be replaced with photos from other KOPs. However, we did not come up with any real conclusions due to not having mark-ups showing the relative location of project features for the other five KOPs (11, 13, 14, 17, and 20). I am thus concerned that we will not be able to reach an agreement regarding which KOPs should be used for the photosimulations that are necessary for the Nevada Northern Railway Visitor Experience Study during the meeting scheduled for Friday (January 20) and request that this meeting be rescheduled to after we receive the additional marked-up photos for KOPs 11, 13, 14, 17, and 20 and have sufficient time to review them.

Hello Julia, Thank you for coordinating last Friday’s (January 22) video conference regarding rPlus’ proposed study plan. Despite the various delays we faced in receiving the photos for our review as promised, the meeting was constructive as we made headway on agreements regarding the photosimulations. I look forward to your meeting summary. Due to time constraints, we were unable to discuss the other main issue that the NPS and Nevada Northern Railway had with rPlus’ proposed study plan: the proposed length of the survey period. As I pointed out in my email that I sent to you on December 5, 2022, conducting the visitor use and experience survey for six weeks (May 15 – June 26, 2023) would not accurately represent the train ridership that occurs throughout the year with its various ebbs and flows. I asked Mark Basset to describe the seasonal differences in the types of trains and visitors, and he sent me the following: Our visitors come in distinct groups. In the beginning of the year, it is professional photographers that use the highline for their pictures. We host photoshoots and photo workshops in the first quarter of the year. Revenue from these events helps carry the Foundation through slow months. Starting in March we do our spring excursions targeted to families on spring break. For these trips we use both branches of the railroad, Keystone and the Highline. Our full-blown excursion season starts the 1st of April, and this attracts snowbirds heading north. Our goal is to have the snowbirds spend the night in Ely and ride the train. April is also the time that we offer free tickets to locals to ride the train. We want them to experience the railroad so they can be ambassadors for us in the community. Memorial Day weekend is the kickoff to the summer tourist season. Our visitors at this time are a combination of senior citizens and families. This is also the time where we use the Highline for daytime excursions and our evening astro-tourism programs. As a reminder our Great Basin and star trains sell out a year in advance. These are being supported by National Park Rangers from Great Basin National Park. The foundation also does sunset stars and champagne trains on the Highline, these trains also have an astro-interpreter on board. After Labor Day our visitors change, these are basically snowbirds and senior citizens without family obligations traveling in off peak. In October, we do the pumpkin train focused on families again, and at the end of the month we do our haunted ghost trains focused on young adults and adults. In November we do our food trains, again offering free tickets to locals as a thank you for their support through the year. Starting the weekend before Thanksgiving, we do Santa's reindeer flyer. These trains are geared to families, especially extended families. It is not uncommon to have groups of 20 to 30 people doing the flyer as an annual Christmas tradition. Because the purpose of the visitor use survey is to gather data on visitor characteristics, attitudes, and preferences for the train rides, and there is extensive seasonal variation in number of visitors, types of visitors, and train rides, it is reasonable to expect that the survey be conducted year-long to capture the seasonal variation, which can be used to inform the development of appropriate mitigation measures. There can be no surprise or confusion on this point. The NPS has made its position clear on the year-long surveying need since November 2, 2020, when the NPS filed comments and study requests in response to the Project’s Pre-application Document. At page 6 of that response under NPS Study Request #1: Northern Nevada Railway Visitor Use and Experiences Study, the NPS asserted that “Visitors on both regular and specialty trains should be surveyed and the study length should be a full year, which is necessary to capture special train rides that are operated different times of year.” The NPS maintained this point in its Study Dispute Resolution Request filed with FERC on May 18, 2022, when the NPS expressly requested that rPlus conduct the Visitor Use and Experience Study “as outlined in NPS’s study request [which included the need for a year-long survey], with adjustments for new developments such as the reopening of the Mainline between Ely and McGill and changing the access route to the upper reservoir.” Most recently, in response to the draft report to FERC regarding the August 2, 2022, Joint Meeting that you sent me on August 9, 2022, I emailed you NPS’s edited version on August 17 emphasizing that the “seasonal nature of train rides was also discussed at the Joint Meeting, reflecting the necessity of administering surveys throughout the year.” I restated these same points on the year-long survey needs in my email to you dated December 5, 2022. There is a direct nexus between the proposed Project and potential impacts on Railway visitor experiences, and the types of train rides and visitors varies throughout the year. NPS’s expectation that the visitor use and experience survey be conducted year-long to capture these seasonal variations is not a new development. It is also consistent with generally accepted practice in the scientific community that would inform the development of license requirements. Respectfully, Lil Lilian M.

Lil, Thank you for the productive discussion on Friday, January 20th. Here is a link to a recording of the meeting: Meeting Recording.mp4
White Pine Pumped Storage Project Follow Up-20230120_160526-
Based on our discussion, and because the photos were taken with a 20-degree incremental advancement of the camera, rPlus is modifying its previous proposal to supplement the 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study with a) removal of KOP 12, b) use of a 40 degree camera angle for KOP 18 instead of 30 degree, and c) analysis of the following KOPs for panoramic photosimulations: KOP 4 (between 60o and 160o) (original proposal was between 60o and 150o) KOP 5 (between 260o and 100o) (original proposal was between 270o and 90o) KOP 15 (between 60° - 180°) (original proposal was between 90o and 180o) KOP 16 (between 200° - 360°) (original proposal was between 180o and 0o (360o)) KOP 17-1 (between 260° and 360°) (a new proposed KOP for panoramic photosimulation) KOP 17-2 (between 20° and 120°) (a new proposed KOP for panoramic photosimulation) Attached is a revised map reflecting these KOPs and angles. The map also can be found here: https://rplusenergies.app.box.com/file/1123964566413 rPlus will use the photos taken with the 50mm focal length lens and has selected the photos it believes have the best lighting for visualizing project features. Using photos with darker (evening) lighting will make it difficult to distinguish project features. As agreed to during the meeting, rPlus has uploaded the KOP 3 - 50mm focal length pictures taken for the 2021 study work to a separate new KOP 3 subfolder in the same box folder to which you have access. Link here: https://rplusenergies.app.box.com/folder/191951517912 We also have updated the file showing the three dimensional view of the relative location of the KOPs to include KOP3. This updated file is attached to this email and also linked here: https://rplusenergies.app.box.com/file/1117509876988. We understand that NPS would like to review the photos for KOP 3 and KOP 13 to determine whether one of them might be a suitable alternative to KOP 12. The photo taken at KOP 13 would need manipulation (e.g., to remove a residential structure) for it to be considered useful. If you have difficulty accessing any of these links, please let us know right away. We look forward to your thoughts. Separately, thank you for the additional information you sent on Monday (below) related to the survey. We are reviewing and will circle back to you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

Hello Julia, Thank you for the summary of our video meeting on January 20. I have a few comments/suggested edits related to the KOPs: KOP 4 (between 60o and 170o - 180o) (1/26/2023 proposal was between 60o and 160o): Only a small portion of the upper reservoir access road headed to the southwest would be visible from the 160o angle. Expanding this KOP would include a more complete view of the lower end of the access road, including the laydown yard. KOP 15 (between 60° and 240°) (1/26/2023 proposal was between 60o and 180o): The laydown yard on the west side of the Mainline should be represented in the Photosimulations. This may require two separate photosimulations at KOP 15, similar to KOP 17. In hindsight, it would have been preferable to have taken the photos starting from the 50o angle to capture the northwest corner of the lower reservoir, but hopefully we can capture the entire view of the lower reservoir with the photos taken on September 8, 2022 with a 50mm lens (starting at 61o at KOP 15). KOP 13: Since the purpose of the photosimulations is to capture how train passengers’ views would be affected by the proposed Project, KOP 13 should be used for the photosimulations since the photos were taken from the Mainline tracks, while the KOP 3 photos were taken from the highway. The photosimulations should show the lower reservoir in its empty state, which would be the “typical worst case visibility scenario.” I agree with the conclusion that using photos with darker (evening) lighting will make it difficult to distinguish project features, so using the ones taken during daylight hours makes more sense as long as they were taken with the 50mm lens. The exception is KOP 5 since it includes the Star Platform, which is used during the evening hours. Since the train passes through this site both during the day and at night, it also makes sense to produce the photosimulations from photos taken both during daylight hours and evening hours. Is rPlus planning on updating other photosimulations in their Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study report that was filed with the Draft License Application? Some of those photosimulations may need to be updated based on changes in the proposed project features, such as the access road to the upper reservoir. Respectfully, Lil Lilian M.

Lil, Thank you for your comments on the revised proposal rPlus provided on January 26, 2023 to supplement the 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study. I appreciate the additional explanation you provided on our phone call on February 2, 2023 regarding the additional camera angles and NPS’s approach to the supplementary work plan. Based on our additional exchange, rPlus agrees to refine its plan to supplement the Study and create panoramic photosimulations for use in further supplemental recreation and socioeconomic studies as follows: rPlus will analyze the following KOPs for panoramic photosimulations: KOP 4 (between 60o and 180o), as requested by NPS (an expansion of the original proposal of angles between 60o and 150o). KOP 5 (between 260o and 100o) (an expansion of the original proposal of angles between 270o and 90o). KOP 15 (between 60° - 240°), as requested by NPS (an expansion of the original proposal of angles between 90o and 180o). This will be captured in a single panoramic photosimulation. KOP 16 (between 200° - 360°) (a revision of the original proposal of angles between 180o and 0o (360o) since there are no project features expected at 180 o). KOP 17-1 (between 260° and 360°) (a new proposed KOP for panoramic photosimulation). KOP 17-2 (between 20° and 120°) (a new proposed KOP for panoramic photosimulation). rPlus also will provide two single-shot photosimulations: KOP 13 (at 159o) and KOP 18 (with the use of a 40o camera angle instead of a 30o). An updated map reflecting these KOPs and angles is attached for reference. We are in agreement that evening photos will not allow the viewer to distinguish project features. rPlus will use daytime photos for all simulations. rPlus took daytime and evening photos from KOP 5 in September, but as we discussed, because the evening photos were taken between 0° and 80° from the Star Platform, and the daytime photos were taken from the rail flatcar between 0° and 320°, we are proposing to use the daytime photos to allow for a more comprehensive simulation. For comparison purposes at your request, we are providing the Dark Skies photo from KOP 5 taken in 2021, which was used on page 19 and in the inset photo on page 33 of the Study Report. A few points of clarification in response to your comments below: The photosimulations will present the proposed pumped storage project features in normal operating conditions as viewed from the KOPs listed above. As I mentioned, we are not striving for an analysis that provides unrealistic “worst case” visual scenarios, but we will include the most prominent views of Project features and representative views from the NNR HiLine and Mainline. For example, the lower reservoir will be depicted with the water level at normal low elevation to capture what is likely the most contrasting and therefore “worst case” for normal operations. We clarify that during project operations, the lower reservoir will not ever be in an “empty state;” there is a minimum design water level. rPlus is not planning to re-do any of the photosimulations in the Study Report. rPlus performed that work in accordance with BLM guidelines and stands by the analysis conducted for the Study. The additional work rPlus is proposing to do at NPS’s request to address potential impacts to NNR ridership as part of our TLP consultation, and consistent with NPS guidelines, will supplement the 2021 Study. The additional work also will support the supplementary recreation survey, which will reference the photosimulations, and the supplementary socioeconomic study. The additional photosimulations and panoramic photosimulations, with additional KOPs, angles, and photos, significantly expands the plan rPlus first proposed in November last year. rPlus intends to incorporate the above-described approach to gathering the supplemental information in the FLA to be filed at FERC later this month. We would like NPS’s concurrence with the above-described approach. We appreciate NPS’s substantive work and feedback on this issue, which rPlus is confident will result in information that will enable a robust and comprehensive supplemental analysis of Project visual and aesthetic impacts. Thank you. Julia Julia Wood Partner

Hello Julia, Thank you for recapping our February 2, 2023, phone call and making requested adjustments to rPlus’ January 26, 2023, revised proposal to supplement the 2021 Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study. I closely reviewed the revisions, coordinated with NPS staff and NNR representatives, and can conclude we have a consensus on the chosen KOPs and photo angles to be used to develop the photosimulations for use in the survey instrument for the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study based on the project features and their locations that you have represented are contemplated at this time. The NPS and NNR are also in agreement with rPlus using the daytime photos to develop the photosimulations and providing the original nighttime photo and photosimulation from KOP 5 (the Star Platform) presented in the Visual and Aesthetic Resources Study Report found in Appendix H of the DLA. The proposed reservoir water level for the photosimulations to meet “worst case scenario” requirements during “normal operations” as you’ve clarified seems reasonable. However, please provide greater specificity on how “normal operations worst case” is defined (e.g., as a percentage, in acre feet, etc., of the reservoir fill level) so that it can be confirmed. The above-stated concurrence only applies to the KOPs and photo angles that will be used to construct photosimulations for the NNR Visitor Use and Experience Study survey instrument. The NPS does not concur with the proposed six-week study period (May 15 – June 26, 2023) for delivering the survey. As I have stated on several occasions, the visitor survey should be conducted year-long to capture the variations in the train ridership properly. Respectfully, Lil

Lil, we appreciate your concurrence with the approach to photosimulations set forth below. rPlus will begin implementing the photosimulations as described below. For clarity, the minimum operating level for the lower reservoir is 6,355 ft elevation. Here is some additional information for context, from the project’s supporting design report:
Lower Reservoir Crest Normal Maximum Water Surface level (NMWS) Normal Minimum Water Surface level (NMWS) [Minimum Operating Level] Fluctuation (Normal Max to Normal Min Water Level)
Elevation (ft) 6,439.50 6,435.00
Surface Area (acres)
Volume (acre-foot)
62.8
4,241.40
6,355.00
34.5
159
80 ft
28.3
4,082.40
In summary, the minimum operating level is 84.5 feet below the crest of the lower reservoir, and the water level will fluctuate by 80 ft between the normal maximum water level and the normal minimum water level. Please let us know if you have any additional questions about that. We understand that your concurrence does not extend to the survey, and we will be in touch separately about that. Thank you.

Julia, Thank you for the additional information you’ve provided in the email below. In this regard, the Nevada Northern Railway requests a further clarification. A. Please clarify how many days following the project’s commercial operation date on an annual basis the project anticipates operating the lower reservoir: 1. at the Normal Maximum Water Surface level; 2. at the Normal Minimum Water Surface level; and 3. below the Normal Minimum Water Surface level. B.
For the same periods, please also explain: 1. if and to what extent the foregoing information includes single days in which you project there to be multiple instances of operating at the Normal Maximum Water Surface level and the Normal Minimum Water Surface level; and 2. the reasons and circumstances you anticipate going below the Normal Minimum Water Surface level.
Please provide the information requested under A and B for all years and periods data is available. Thank you in advance,

Marvin, The draft license application—specifically, Exhibit B—provides a detailed description of project operation. In short, the nominal capacity of the project is 1,000 MW with a maximum generating capacity of 8 hours per day. As a pumped storage project, the project will be used to provide security, reliability, and dispatch when needed. As a result, actual run time is dependent on grid conditions and market demand. During generation water is drained from the upper to lower reservoir. Generation is expected to generally occur from 4:00 pm to midnight during the time of peak demand (seasonally adjusted) and pumping is expected to generally occur from midnight to 4:00 pm (during off-peak times when energy prices are lower, and when excess renewable energy is being generated (i.e., wind during dawn and solar throughout the day)). The analysis in the license application is based on one pumping/generation cycle per day. Thus, it is anticipated that the water level in the lower reservoir will be at the Normal Maximum Water Surface level and at the Normal Minimum Water Surface level at least once each day (minimum level at about 4:00 pm and maximum level at about midnight). The lower reservoir will only be below the Normal Minimum Water Surface level during periodic maintenance that requires the tailrace to be drained slightly. This maintenance activity is expected to be once every three to four years. The exact timing for such maintenance is not yet firmly set because the supplier of the pump/turbines units has not yet been finalized. Other more frequent maintenance activities will not require lowering the water level below the Normal Minimum Water Surface level, and there is no reason to expect it will occur otherwise except for during the 3-4 year maintenance cycle. Please let us know if you have further questions about project operation. Julia Julia Wood Partner
