The applicant is proposing the construction of a 2.2 megawatt (MW) solar facility (Project) located approximately 1.7 miles southeast of the town of Hayesville in Marion County, Oregon. The proposed Project consists of an approximately 12-acre portion of a larger 367-acre parcel in Marion County. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Beyer, State Environmental Coordinator at (503) 414-3368, 1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Suite 1801, Portland, Oregon 97204 michael.beyer@ usda.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Applicant’s proposed project would use ground- mounted, fi xed tilt solar arrays, consisting of photovoltaic (PV) modules, inverters, and associated racking and electrical equipment. The Project would have a generating capacity of 4,064 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy per year and would sell this energy to Portland General Electric (PGE) under a long-term fi xed power purchase agreement. When constructed, the solar arrays and associated components would be no more than 10 feet in height and would be surrounded by 7-foot tall chain link security fence. The facility will be located on privately- owned property in Marion County, Oregon. One of the secluded cabins at Silver Falls State Park.

No signifi cant impacts are expected as a result of the construction of the project. Continued from Page 1A Questions and comments should be sent to RBS at the address provided.

Dated: January 28, 2020 Michael Beyer, State Environmental Coordinator PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Camping The program saves about $450 to $500 that would normally be charged for a camping experience that includes the rental of five yurts or cabins at each participating park. The program, called the Explorer Series, is geared toward organizations or nonprofits that can bring members on the camping trip. Those looking to par- ticipate must submit an application by March 6 “detailing an ability to adminis- ter the program and commitment to serving communities that are underrep- resented in the outdoors,” a news re- lease said. “Surveys show some segments of Oregon’s population do not camp or vis- it state parks, or at least not in numbers that parallel their population,” said Cai- lin O’Brien-Feeney, director of the Ore- gon Office of Outdoor Recreation. O’Brien-Feeney said the idea arose when Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s Task Force on the Outdoors looked at surveys showing who was visiting state parks — and who wasn’t. Non-white minorities make up 24 percent of Oregon’s population but only 12 to 13 percent of state park visitors, ac- cording to the surveys. He said those with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ plus community had similar gaps. “In partnering with community- based organizations, we hope together we can make the outdoors more acces- sible to these populations,” O’Brien- Feeney said. “This is a pilot program and will be a learning experience.” A panel of state parks staff and oth- ers will evaluate applications and select recipients. “Organizations will be responsible for selecting program participants, and supporting them in preparation for the camping trip,” the news release said. “Preference will be given to organiza- tions that demonstrate a plan to con- tinue to support participants’ engage- ment with the outdoors after the camp- ing trip ends.” The program will cost the agency around $4,500 in lost fees. That gap will be made up with funds coming in from the “flexible fees” program that will see the cost of camping increase at some of Oregon’s most popular state parks this year, to pay for discounts at others. The parks open to the program span the state, including from Cape Lookout on the Coast to Silver Falls in the valley and Prineville Reservoir in Eastern Ore- gon. The trips will take place at different times of the year. “So much research shows that spending time outside corresponds with better mental and physical health,” Sumption said. “We need to do what we can as an agency to ensure all Orego- nians have equitable access to state parks and the associated health bene- fits.” Zach Urness has been an outdoors re- porter, photographer and videographer in Oregon for 12 years.
