The Honorable Martha McSally The Honorable Martin Heinrich United States Senate United States Senate 404 Russell Senate Office Building 303 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senators McSally and Heinrich:
On behalf of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the 3,069 counties, boroughs and parishes we represent, I am writing to express our support of the Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act (PLREDA). This legislation would extend royalties and lease income from solar and wind projects developed on federal lands to home states and counties.
Similar to existing revenue sharing models for alternative energy development, such as geothermal leasing, PLREDA would share revenues with states and counties. Revenue sharing arrangements with local governments are needed to support county operations impacted by local energy development and production. In addition, the bill provides reinvestment in BLM renewable energy programs and shares critical funds to sustain wildlife and recreational uses of nearby land.
Scores of counties nationwide have federal lands within their boundaries that have been developed or are suitable for alternative energy development. Counties have historically been indispensable advocates for the development of alternative energy production in the United States. Revenue sharing of alternative energy dollars with states and counties will contribute to the delivery of critical government services and the development of much needed capital improvement projects such as road maintenance, public safety and law enforcement, conservation easements, capital for leveraging federal and state resources and the stabilization of operations budgets during tough economic times.
As this nation moves closer to securing a balanced domestic energy portfolio, county governments are committed to working with the federal government as equal partners in the promotion of alternative energy development. The expansion of alternative energy industries will also support the creation of high paying jobs and sustain economic development in communities across the nation.
Again, NACo applauds the introduction of the Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act of 2019 and respectfully requests swift passage of this legislation.
Sincerely,
Matthew D. Chase Executive Director National Association of Counties

Re: U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho Enjoins BLM 2019 Sage-grouse Plan
Amendments
Introduction
On October 16, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, granted plaintiffs, Western
Watersheds, Wildearth Guardian, Center for Biological Diversity, and Prairie Hills Audobon
society, motion for a preliminary injunction to stop BLM’s 2019 Plan amendments from being
implemented. The effect of this injunction is to temporarily re-instate the Sage-grouse plans that
were adopted by BLM in 2015 and which counties had been following prior to the March 2019
plan amendments.
Background/History
In 2011, the BLM and USFS launched a planning strategy to amend land use plans and to
otherwise avoid possible ESA listing of Greater Sage-grouse. In 2015, BLM (and USFS)
adopted plans that restricted activity in and around Sage-grouse habitat, and that required buffer
areas between anthropogenic activity and Sage-grouse leks. Specifically, the plans created over
10 million acres of Sage-grouse focal areas (SFAs).
Because of the restrictiveness of 2015 Plan prescriptions, the FWS modified its listing for Sage-
grouse from “warranted but precluded” to “not warranted.” NACO sued to block the 2015 BLM
plans prior to their implementation and alleged BLM violated NEPA. While NACO’s motion
for preliminary injunction was denied, they were successful in showing that BLM violated
NEPA by failing to prepare a supplemental EIS for designation of SFAs in the 2015 Plan. The
U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada ordered BLM to complete a Supplemental EIS. In
2017, Secretary Zinke’s creation of a Sage grouse review team in response to Secretarial Order
3353 forced other lawsuits against the 2015 Plans (including the Idaho lawsuit) to be put on hold.
The purpose of the review team was in part to enhance state participation in Sage-grouse
planning.
In October 2017, BLM began the process of amending all 2015 Plans, including the Nevada
plan. These modifications resulted in Final EIS’s issued in December 2018, and RODs in March
2019. The amendments aligned significant portions of the plans with state plans and made them
more favorable to local needs. For example, the 2019 Plans eliminated “Sage-grouse focal
areas” (SFAs) in all states except Oregon and replaced “hard” and “soft” trigger requirements
with “warnings” in areas other than lek clusters.
Agenda Item 11a
2
In October 2019, Western Watersheds et al. filed their motion for preliminary injunction against
the 2019 Plans. The U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho granted the injunction and
ordered the 2015 Plans to again take effect.
Basis of Decision
The District Court did not reach a decision on whether the 2019 Amendments are themselves
legally deficient under NEPA. That decision will come after an appeal (if any) of the
preliminary injunction. However, to grant a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff must convince
the court that their case has a likelihood of success on the merits, failure to enjoin would result in
irreparable harm to the plaintiff, the plaintiff suffers the balance of the hardships, and an
injunction serves the public interest. By granting a preliminary injunction (an extraordinary
remedy) the Court has found that it is more likely than not, that at trial the plaintiffs will be able
to show by clear and convincing evidence that the 2019 Amendments violate NEPA.
On the merits, Plaintiffs offered four arguments where the 2019 Plans failed to satisfy NEPA
requirements; 1) failed to consider reasonable alternative, 2) failed to take a “hard look”, 3)
failed to consider cumulative impacts, and 4) eliminated compensatory mitigation requirement.
The court determined that there was a likelihood of success that at trial the plaintiffs could show
that 2019 Amendments failed to satisfy these four NEPA requirements.
a. Irreparable Harm
The Court’s decision was based on a declaration from Dr. Clait Braun. The declaration provided
the court with evidence it viewed was sufficient to show that, absent an injunction, Sage-grouse
and its habitat would suffer irreparable harm. Specifically, Braun’s analysis claimed “BLM
essentially ignored analyzing current habitat condition and fragmentation, or how plan changes
may impact sage-grouse habitats. “The failure of BLM to undertake such analysis in the 2019
Plan Amendments is wholly inconsistent with standard practices and the best available science.”
b. Balance of the Hardship
The Court reasoned that the Sage-grouse would suffer greater hardship if the 2019 Amendments
were not enjoined than the BLM would suffer from having to revert to the 2015 Plans.
c. Public Interest
The Ninth Circuit has recognized “the well-established public interest in preserving nature and
avoiding irreparable environmental injury.”
Conclusion
The 2015 Plans which include 10.7 million acres of Sage-grouse focal areas are now in effect.
The BLM may appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If the injunction is
upheld, it will remain in effect until a resolution of whether or not the 2019 Plans violate NEPA.
Because the U.S. District Court for the District Court ruled the 2015 Plans were deficient, it is
unclear what the next step will be in Nevada. Specifically, will BLM now have to comply with
the March 31, 2017 Order compelling preparation of a supplemental EIS?
