Power production
Renewable energy plants are being constructed in deserts, forest and coastal regions where water, sun and wind are plentiful for clean energy production. Fragile habitat requires mitigation to off-set impacts associated with the construction of renewable energy power plants. Understanding the ecology aids EnviroVector in successful mitigation efforts.
Curtis Wambach, M.S., Principal and Senior Biologist, managed permits for a $360 million transition line project conveying power from the largest solar plant in the world located in California to a substation in Nevada. The permitting budget was $10 million and involved the creation of a desert tortoise mitigation bank, cactus management plan, a raven management plan, CEQA, NEPA, desert big-horned sheep management plan, and coordination with agencies, engineers, and Brightsource Energy.
