Title

Sienna Solar Recirculated DEIR - PROJ-2022-00013

Description

99MT 8ME, LLC (Applicant) plans to construct and operate a utility scale, solar photovoltaic electricity generation facility that would produce up to 525 megawatts (MW) of solar power and include up to 525 MW of energy storage capacity rate in a battery energy storage system within an approx. 1,854 acre site. Energy generated by the Project will be transmitted to SCE's electric grid via an inter-connection with the proposed SCE Calcite Substation. A Recirculated Draft EIR for the Project has been prepared to inform the public of the following changes to the original Draft EIR: 1)The environmental impacts associated with the proposed Calcite Substation will no longer incorporate by reference the information from the Stagecoach Solar Project Draft EIR (SCH# 2020100234). Since the end of the public review period for the Stagecoach Solar Project Draft EIR, the California State Lands Commission has not certified a Final EIR or made a decision to approve/reject the project. The County of San Bernardino will be the lead agency under CEQA for the proposed Calcite Substation; and 2)The Project applicant has included an additional 12.3 miles of gen-tie alternatives to be analyzed, which were not previously analyzed in the original Draft EIR.
