Jersey Valley Geothermal Development Project Environmental Assessment: NV063 -EAO8-09 1 Operation of the project is expected to require 20 workers, and would not induce population growth in an area. Neither does the proposed Project create or provide any infrastructure which would indirectly induce substantial population growth. 3.15.2.2 Alternative 1 The impacts to Socio-economic values of Alternative 1 would be the same as those described for the Proposed Action. 3.16 LAND USE AUTHORIZATIONS 3.16.1 Affected Environment Several rights-of-way (ROWs) have been granted by the BLM on the public lands within the Jersey Valley Unit Area and transmission line corridor (see Table 14), and generally consist of ROWs for power lines, telephone lines, access roads, and pipelines (BLM 2008c). Additionally, a public water reserve (PWR 107) and several authorizations for fences and a pipeline are located within the Jersey Valley Unit Area.

Transmission line poles would not be located within any existing ROWs and no impacts are expected. The transmission line wires would pass over several land use authorizations, but would not interfere with any existing ROWs. No impacts are anticipated. 3.16.3.2 Alternative 1 The impacts to lands and realty from Alternative 1 would be identical to those described for the Proposed Action. -83 -
