Abstract: . . . Hispanics can be of any race, this number also includes individuals identifying themselves as being part of one or more of the population groups listed in the table. Large numbers of minority individuals occur in some of the 11 states potentially hosting wind energy developments on BLM-administered land. In New Mexico, 55% of the population Draft TABLE 4.11-1 Minority and Low-Income Composition for the Populations in Each of the 11 States and the 11-State Region Parameter Total population White, Non-Hispanic . . . . . . can be of any race, this number also includes individuals identifying themselves as being part of one or more of the population groups listed in the table.

Rather, these descriptions provide the level of detail needed to support the programmatic impact assessment presented in Chapter 5.

The analysis of potential environmental justice issues associated with wind energy development projects followed guidelines described in the CEQ’s Environmental Justice Guidance under the National Environmental Policy Act (CEQ 1997b). The analysis method has three parts: (1) the geographic distribution of low-income and minority populations in the affected area is described; (2) an assessment of whether the impacts of construction and operation . . . --3000,6,250,2990,135641
