BLM denies permit for Walker Ridge wind energy project
"LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The federal government has rejected a wind energy project that would have installed dozens of giant turbines in the Walker Ridge area.
"On Friday, the Bureau of Land Management said it has denied the application for the Walker Ridge Wind Energy Project.
"The agency said the denial was based on potential resource conflicts and the inadequacy of the information provided to the BLM to address these conflicts and to move forward with the environmental review.
"'Given the application denial, the BLM will not be preparing an environmental impact statement or potential land use amendment for this project, the agency said in the Friday announcement.
"Bob Schneider, a member of the Protect Walker Ridge Alliance and an author who has written a book about the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, has lobbied against the project for years."
