The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a draft amended Environmental Assessment and is accepting public comments on an amended Incidental Take Permit application submitted by Viracocha Wind, LLC for the Rooney Ranch Wind Repowering Project in Alameda County, California. The project proposes installing seven wind turbines (up to 28 MW total) within approximately 580 acres of the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area. The amended ITP, requested for 36 years, covers three federally listed species and two species proposed for listing. Construction would cause 11.1 acres of permanent and 68 acres of temporary impacts. The Service has made a preliminary FONSI determination. Comments are due January 13, 2025.1
