The proposed Project would expand the existing geothermal steamfield of the Bottle Rock Power Plant in order to supply additional steam and increase the amount of power generated from approximately 18 megawatts, up to as much as 55megawatts.
Two new well pads are proposed within the Binkley Leasehold, along with a new access road connecting both new pads to High Valley Road via Rabbit Valley Road; a clear span bridge crossing over High Valley creek; and approximately 1.3 miles of additional steam pipeline. Up to 22 production and injection wells are proposed to be drilled within the project area over the life of the project. For a more detailed project description, please refer to Chapter 3 of the Draft EIR.
An additional legal notification will be provided prior to this project being scheduled for a public hearing before the Lake County Planning Commission.
The significant environmental effects anticipated as a result of the proposed project are: short-term exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants from well venting during drilling and flow testing; impacts to special-status plant species; and conflict with local policies associated with the protection of biological resources.
