Note 8
Note 3 Wind speed shown on BLM-administered land is for a hub height of 80 meters using data provided by AWS Truepower, LLC (). Note 4
Potentially suitable habitat distribution is determined on the basis of distribution models that represent areas where species are predicted to occur based on habitat associations. These distribution models are developed as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project.
Excluded lands include those lands that are excluded from wind development on the basis of existing land use plan decisions and potential policy
changes. Wind projects proposed on BLM-administered lands that are not excluded will have varying levels of siting considerations during siting
reviews due to the presence of certain environmental resources or land use restrictions. Some potentially developable lands will have a high level
of siting considerations, and some will have a moderate level of siting considerations. Other BLM-administered lands with potentially developable
wind resources do not have known environmental resources or land use restrictions that are likely to require more extensive consideration in siting
reviews. Lands with wind speeds below 5 m/sec are not considered to be developable and have not been mapped with respect to exclusions or
expected level of siting considerations.
