Present Land Use
Existing development on Hatchet Ridge consists of a pair of parallel 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines owned by PG&E, overhead and buried lower voltage electrical distribution lines, existing communication towers, and associated access roads. The project area also contains the Bunchgrass and Bear Springs radio facilities; the communication towers range in height from 50 to 140 feet.
Document Description
HRW proposes to construct up to 68 three bladed wind turbines along a 6.5 mile turbine string corridor on Hatchet Ridge. Each three bladed wind turbine would be installed on a tubular steel tower up to 262 feet (80 meters) tall. Each turbine/ tower combination would have a maximum height of approx. 418 feet (128 meters), measured from the ground to the turbine blade tip at its highest point. The exact height and placement of the tubines and associated facilities within the development corridor would be determined by such factors as equipment manufacturer and environmental constraints. HRW has requested to make these final turbine and equipment siting determinations prior to construction but subsequent to this environmental analysis. The final permanent project footprint of the Hatchet Ridge Wind Energy project would encompass approx. 125 acres.
