Luning Solar Energy Environmental Assessment

BEC Environmental, Inc. (BEC) supported Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC (Liberty) through the variance process with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the 560-acre Luning Solar Energy Project – Phase II (LSEP II) in Luning, Nevada. BEC assisted in navigating the variance process with the BLM and participated in the initial public meetings. The purpose of the meetings was to solicit public and stakeholder comments regarding LSEP II. BEC also conducted initial site surveys to assist in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process that is required in studies to support the development of an Environmental Assessment (EA). This EA would be initiated once the variance had been approved by the BLM Washington D.C. Office.
