C. to become partners in the development of the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) for Incidental Take Permits and coverage for other species and plants. This partnership is specifically with the California Energy Commission - which is the proposed permit holder. The DRECP team has been meeting since 2010 to craft a process that would lead to the development of the conservation plan. Kern County has taken the lead in recommending a broader consideration of other uses of the subject lands besides renewable energy. NPLNEWS has obtained a copy of a draft proposal for the counties to participate in the DRECP process. Regarding the Renewable Energy Project Developer Mitigation Fee Conservation Strategy, the draft proposal outlines the needs and urges the DRECP to engage in a useful dialogue with the stakeholders on a unique approach that could begin to assist counties in formulating a positive recommendation to their Boards of Supervisors for consideration for participation in the DRECP if energy developers are interested. There is a lot at stake here. Kern County has a long history of active participation in federal and state land-use planning initiatives that affect the eastern portion of the county (See the West Mojave Plan). Kern County also has one of the largest wind energy projects in California in the Mojave/Tehachapi area of the county and is known for its enormous potential for solar energy as well.
