![]() In an effort to ease criticisms from federal wildlife officials the Nevada-based renewable energy company submitted a plan to significantly reduce the size of the project to a single geothermal power plant with an estimated output of about 12 megawatts, which was approved by the Bureau of Land Management. Months of legal battles came to a head after FWS listed the rare toad as endangered and named geothermal development’s danger to the toad as a factor in their decision. The following month, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe sued the Bureau of Land Management over the project’s approval, which they argued would damage a nearby spring considered sacred to tribes, and endanger the rare desert toad. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Dixie Valley toad as endangered, a status that requires federal land managers to consult with FWS on projects with the potential to harm threatened and endangered species.įederal land managers initially signed off on the geothermal project in November 2021 - before the toad’s listing - authorizing two 30-megawatt plants and associated construction on federal land in Dixie Valley, a spring-fed desert wetland 100 miles northeast of Reno. On Wednesday, the U.S Department of the Interior announced plans to undertake a new environmental analysis of the Dixie Meadows geothermal project by Ormat Nevada Inc, following the Dixie Valley toad's listing under the Endangered Species Act and other new information.Īll construction on the geothermal project will be banned until the new environmental review is completed and federal wildlife officials determine that the project’s construction and operation is not likely to jeopardize the Dixie Valley toad, said federal land managers.
