Conservation & Open Space Update
The County of Imperial was the recipient of the California Energy Commission Grant on July 22, 2014, to update the existing "Conservation and Open Space Element" of the General Plan. Other objectives include recognition of various resources that may be impacted by future renewable energy resource technologies, identification of areas more suitable for project development, review areas around the Salton Sea eligible for renewable energy and/or habitat conservation, review proposed transmission corridors and impacts, development and identification of potential sites for endangered and threatened species/species of concern, develop an outreach program, and prepare the required environmental documents.
