Proposed Solar Energy Zone Comments

View public comment documents for the Solar PEIS proposed solar energy zones (SEZs).

Public comments received during the second scoping period regarding proposed solar energy zones (June 30, 2009, through September 14, 2009), including individual letters and comments received electronically, can be viewed on this Web page. In the table below, select a comment number link (at right) to view the corresponding comment document.
