The federal Bureau of Land Management's preferred alternative for a proposed large-scale wind energy farm in southern Idaho would shrink the size by nearly half and keep it farther away from a national historic site. BLM’s preferred alternative was detailed in its final environmental review released last week.

FILE - Wind turbines are seen from Interstate-84, July 9, 2023, near Hammett, Idaho. The federal Bureau of Land Management’s preferred alternative for a proposed large-scale wind energy farm in southern Idaho would shrink its size by nearly half and move it farther from a national historic site.

The plan also places the closest turbine to the historic site at 9 miles away. The agency said adjusting the corridor configuration aims to help “preserve the visitor experience of the remote nature of the former incarceration site.” The Biden administration “needs to do a better job and make a real commitment to protect Minidoka and our heritage, or we will be dealing with Lava Ridge and other projects forever,” Achilles said.

The final environmental review’s preferred alternative decreases the “area disturbed” by nearly 50%, from 8,395 acres to 4,492 acres .
