PUBLIC NOTICE
Amended Notice of Intent for Wagon Trail Solar Project
Summary:
Date Issued: June 17, 2021
Amended Proposal: Up to 500 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generation facility with-
in an approximately 7,339 acre (11.47 sq. miles) site boundary on privately-owned land zoned for
Exclusive Farm Use. The original proposal included an approximately 5,957 acres (9.3 sq. miles) site
boundary.
Location: Morrow County, approximately 24 miles southeast of the City of Arlington.
Public Comment Deadline: July 8, 2021
Introduction: The Oregon Department of Energy (Department), staff to the Energy Facility Siting
Council (EFSC), previously received a Notice of Intent (NOI) on November 3, 2020 from Wheatridge
East Wind, LLC (applicant), a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, that it
intends to submit a preliminary application for site certificate (pASC) to construct and operate the
Wagon Trail Solar Project, a proposed PV solar energy generation facility. Due to modifications of the
proposed facility, the applicant submitted an amended NOI on June 11, 2021. The applicant expects
to submit the pASC in July or August, 2021. The proposed facility would occupy approximately 5,000
acres of arable and nonarable lands, which constitutes a State jurisdictional energy facility under
ORS 469.300(11)(D)(ii) and (iii), requiring that the applicant obtain a site certificate from EFSC prior to
construction and operation. The Department is accepting public comments on the Amended NOI from
June 17, 2021 through July 8, 2021.
Proposed Facility Description: The Wagon Trail Solar Project (proposed facility) would have a gen-
erating capacity of up to 500 MW using solar PV technology. The proposed facility site boundary
includes approximately 7,339 acres.
The proposed facility consists of PV solar panels/modules, steel tracker tables and posts, cabling,
power conversion stations, and related or supporting facilities. Proposed related or supporting facili-
ties include distributed battery storage (lithium-ion); up to four collector substations on 5- to 10-acre
sites, each; up to 8-mile 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line on H-frame structures extending up to
150 feet in height; an Operations and Maintenance building; up to three meteorological towers; site
access, service roads, perimeter fencing, and gates; and, up to four temporary construction areas.
Additional detailed information is available in the amended NOI Exhibit B (see hyperlink to Depart-
ment’s project webpage in More Information below).
Proposed Facility Location: The proposed facility would be located south of I-84 in Morrow County.
A map of the proposed facility site boundary is attached to this notice. More maps are available in
Attachment 2 of the amended NOI, and the Department maintains an online mapping program where
the proposed facility site and regional location can be viewed via hyperlink:
https://arcg.is/1Gf8CK
EFSC Review Process: The review of an application for site certificate (ASC) is a consolidated, com-
prehensive process where the Department requests comments from state and local agencies, tribal
governments and the general public throughout the process, and concurrently reviews other permits
necessary for the proposed facility. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed facility meets
EFSC standards established under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 469.501 and set forth in Oregon
Administrative Rule (OAR) Chapters 345, divisions 22 and 24, as well as all other applicable Oregon
statutes, rules, and standards. The Department serves as staff to EFSC and conducts the ASC review
process.
Pursuant to ORS 469.504(4), an applicant must elect to demonstrate compliance with the statewide
planning goals by either obtaining local land use approval from the affected local government(s) or
through EFSC’s determination of compliance. At this time, Wheatridge East Wind, LLC intends to sat-
isfy the Council’s Land Use standard (OAR 345-022-0030) which includes compliance with Morrow
County land use standards, by seeking an EFSC determination under ORS 469.504(1)(b). Morrow
County Board of Commissioners is the Special Advisory Group for the EFSC review.
Public Participation: There are several opportunities for public participation and comment during
the EFSC process. The first is the public comment period on the NOI, which is currently open. The
Department and applicant held a teleconference public informational meeting on Thursday, January
7, 2021. Informational meetings provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments and ask
questions about the proposed facility and review process.
After the application is determined to be complete the Department will issue notice of another public
informational meeting. Then at the issuance the Department’s draft proposed order, notice will be
provided about a public hearing and comment period that will provide an opportunity for the public to
provide in-person and remote oral and written testimony on the application and draft proposed order
for the proposed facility.
The purpose of amended NOI and ASC informational meetings is for the Department and applicant
to provide information about the proposed facility and EFSC review process to the general public,
which differs from a public hearing, where the purpose is to provide the general public an opportunity
to provide oral comments to EFSC and a Hearing Officer on the ASC and DPO. The Department will
provide notice of all future public informational meetings and hearings.
CLASSIFIEDS
Notice of Intent: The amended NOI provides notice to the Department and the public that the appli-

Comment Period and Informational Meeting: Public comments on the amended NOI are encour-
aged to help the applicant identify issues and concerns early in the process.
