The Kingman Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting public comment on a proposed wind energy right-of-way application submitted by BP Wind Energy of North America. The operator of the Mohave County Wind Farm Project says the facility could support up to 335 turbines on nearly 45,000 acres, located about 40 miles northwest of Kingman. The Western Area Power Administration is cooperating in the effort. Public Affairs Officer Mike Brown said all three meetings are set for next week at 6pm.

"The meetings will be held Tuesday evening in Dolan Springs, at the Dolan Springs Community Center; Wednesday, December 9th in Kingman at the Hampton Inn; and Thursday in White Hills at the White Hills Community Center," Brown told TSN.

He added that preliminary issues that have been identified include access requirements, air quality during construction, noise, sensitive soils and geology, water resources and wildlife habitat concerns.

In order to be analyzed and included in the Environmental Impact Statement, comments and issues must be submitted during a 45-day comment period ending January 8, 2010. Comments may be mailed to:
