Section 368 Energy Corridors - Environmental Impact Statement and Resource Management Plan Amendments
The BLM is considering Resource Management Plan amendments (RMPAs) and preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate modifying (revising, deleting, or adding to) seven designated Section 368 energy corridors (also known as West-wide Energy Corridors). The BLM proposes to amend 19 BLM RMPs in seven states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming). Section 368 energy corridors were established in 2009 and are the preferred locations for development of energy transport projects on lands managed by the BLM. Each corridor has a defined centerline, width, and compatible uses (underground-only, electric-only, or multi-modal).

Proposed changes to Corridor 27-41 through Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in southern Nevada, and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern and National Conservation Lands in California. The corridor for transmission lines would be 2 miles wide. (From https://eplanning.blm.gov/public_projects/2022227/200537493/20100797/251000797/Corridor_27-41.pdf)
