Case Study
Palen Solar Project
EDF Renewables
We currently provide cultural and paleontological resource support to EDF Renewables for the Palen Solar Project (PSP), on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Riverside County. PaleoWest is in the process of drafting all cultural and paleontological plans for the PSP, including:
Tribal Participation Plan
Monitoring and Discovery Plan
Cultural Resources Research Design and Plan
Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Plan of Action
We also provided cultural and paleontological resource monitoring for preconstruction geotechnical and site fencing activities at the PSP. Paleontological monitors were a late requirement for this effort, but we successfully provided paleontological field staff ahead of initiation of geotechnical studies and avoided project delays.
“PaleoWest is considered one of EDF’s most trusted consultants. Their management and staff are always professional, responsive, and highly regarded as experts in their fields. Our Desert Harvest and Maverick projects, located in Desert Center, CA, were EDF’s first large-scale projects on BLM land. PaleoWest consulted on these projects from the very beginning all the way through Commercial Operations. When any issues arose on the site, PaleoWest was always there to assist us on the reporting and mitigation required under our agreements. EDF looks forward to awarding PaleoWest many contracts in the future.”
