The U.S. Bureau of Land Management found that First Solar Development LLC’s 450-megawatt Desert Quartzite Solar Project in eastern Riverside County, California, will result in temporary exceedances of air quality standards, temporary visual qualify impacts from dust, and potential groundwater contamination from releases of fuels and other materials, according to a draft environmental review from the agency. First Solar’s project includes a photovoltaic facility, battery storage, and a 3-mile gen-tie transmission line spanning about 3,800 acres of public lands. The project is estimated to avoid 787,500 metric tons of carbon emissions per year.
