Eagle Conservation Plan Guidance
On May 19, 2011, SEIA submitted comments in response to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) draft Eagle Conservation Plan Guidance. While the Guidance is intended for the wind industry, SEIA is concerned that this Guidance has been or will be applied to solar power projects. SEIA is eager to work with the USFWS to create guidance that is tailored to the solar industry and simultaneously facilitates solar power project development and protects eagles and their habitat.
