DOE/EA-2211: Draft Environmental Assessment

Silver Queen Wind Farm Project

Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) issued a draft EA for Silver Queen Wind Farm Project (DOE/EA-2211), in which Scout Clean Energy proposes to construct the Silver Queen Wind Farm Project (Project) in Carroll and Crawford Counties, southwest of the town of Carroll, Iowa. The proposed project would interconnect with the Western Area Power Administration’s (WAPA’s) electrical transmission system and include construction of a 252-megawatt wind farm generating facility with up to 77 turbines and associated pads. This EA tiers off the analysis conducted in the UGP Wind Energy Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0408), a document prepared jointly by WAPA-UGP and the United States (U.S.) Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (WAPA and USFWS 2015).
