After removing wilderness areas, WSAs, National Monuments, ACECs, critical habitat, and Flat-tailed Horned Lizard Management Areas, we determined that there are 4,299,064 acres of BLM land that are potentially available for solar development. Had we been able to access appropriate data for WSRs, National Trails, and Mohave Ground Squirrel Conservation Areas, this number would be smaller. We then determined the percent of potentially available BLM land that would be developed under the three development scenarios (Table 1). Under the Fast Track scenario, 1.15 percent of potentially available BLM lands would be developed. Under the SESA scenario, 4.26 percent would be developed, and 10.74 percent would be developed under the All Proposed scenario.
