The Supplement removes one of three designated solar energy zones (SEZ) in Arizona; the Bullard Wash site is no longer being considered.
The sites still under consideration in Arizona are the Brenda SEZ and the Gillespie SEZ. The Brenda SEZ is 3,878 acres north of Interstate 10 in La Paz County. The Gillespie SEZ is southwest of Buckeye and south of Interstate 8 and west of State Route 85. It is proposed for 2,618 acres.
The Supplement does not propose adding additional SEZs. However, the Agua Caliente SEZ in Arizona will be evaluated under the Restoration Design Energy Project EIS. The proposed Agua Caliente SEZ is north of Dateland in Yuma County, about 70 miles east of the City of Yuma. It is proposed to comprise 20,165 acres.
