The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is setting aside 4,439.92 acres of public land in Arizona for two solar projects, the Pinyon Solar Project and the Elisabeth Solar Project, for up to two years. This temporary segregation prevents the land from being claimed for activities like mining, allowing time to decide on leasing the land to the solar projects while preserving existing rights. The Pinyon project covers 1,879.92 acres and is being evaluated through an Environmental Assessment (EA), while Elisabeth aims to develop 2,560 acres already under a lease and is nearing the completion of its EA. The segregation will end once a decision is made on the right-of-way application, or through other specified conditions.

The Bureau of Land Management is temporarily setting aside 6,239 acres of public land in Clark County, Nevada, for the Bonanza Solar Project. This segregation prevents the land from being used for mining and other public land laws for two years, but still allows for valid existing rights and potential renewable energy development. The separation is meant to ensure smooth management and decision-making for the use of these public lands. After two years, the lands may be reopened for public use unless the segregation is extended or the project is approved or denied.
