Summary

Environmentally sensitive "Yellow" areas were generated by Black and Veatch and are general zones of sensitivity for renewable energy projects due to environmental sensitivity and other land use/management constraints. See "Phase 1B Proposed Final Report" at https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/2010publications/RETI-1000-2010-002/RETI-1000-2010-002-F.PDF for more details. ***** This data was published in September 1, 2009 as part of the Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI), this data is no longer maintained. *****

Description

Environmental "Yellow" Areas or "Category II Lands" for Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) led by the California Energy Commission.

Conceptual planning usually considers only potential electrical connections between substations, without regard to geographic factors. The first steps in the RETI planning approach, in contrast, are to exclude even potential transmission facilities (referred to as conceptual facilities) from being considered on lands where development is prohibited by law or policy, and to avoid environmentally sensitive lands. RETI Phase 1 work referred to these as Category 1 (Black) [ds496] and Category 2 (Yellow) [ds497] lands, respectively.

Supplemental information
Category II Lands or Yellow Areas are areas where existing restrictions are intended to limit potential renewable development. The following are considered Category II Lands although some lands have restrictions unique to each area: BLM Areas of Critical Environmental Concern; USFWS designated Critical Habitat for federally listed endangered and threatened species; Special wildlife management areas identified in BLM's West Mojave Resource Management Plan i.e., Desert Wildlife Management Areas and Mojave Ground Squirrel Conservation Areas; Lands purchased by private funds and donated to BLM, specifically the California Desert Acquisition Project by The Wildlands Conservancy; and "Proposed and Potential Conservation Reserves" in HCPs and NCCPs.
