Description from online resource; title from PDF cover (BLM, viewed May 15, 2017)

This document constitutes the Record of Decision (ROD) of the United States Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to approve a revised configuration of Soda Mountain Solar, LLC's application for a Right-of-Way (ROW) grant for the Soda Mountain Solar Project and associated amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan of 1980, as amended. Granting the ROW for the Selected Alternative will contribute to the public interest by providing a reliable electricity supply that allows for the development of renewable power to satisfy Federal renewable energy goals. Similarly, the mitigation measures incorporated as part of the ROW grant and the related planning decisions made here will ensure that the authorization of the Selected Alternative will protect environmental resources and comply with applicable environmental standards. In total, these decisions reflect the careful balancing of the many competing public interests in managing the public lands and are based on a comprehensive environmental analysis and full public involvement
