The Minidoka National Historic Site in Idaho, as well as natural and cultural resources, are being threatened if the Magic Valley Energy LLC plan to install the Lava Ridge Wind Project is approved.
The plan calls for 400 wind turbines to be placed on 73,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property. If built, this will be one of the largest commercial wind energy facilities in the U.S.
Not only will most of the turbines be visible from the Minidoka NHS, but the noise from the turbines will also be audible.
Earlier this year, than 100 people participated in two public virtual meetings held by the BLM field office in Shoshone, where concerns raised included impact on the Minidoka NHS and to bird mortality.
As a result of wide interest, the Shoshone field office has extended the public scoping period to Oct. 20.
The public is encouraged to read the project plan at: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2013782/540
