A bill to require a study relating to the Minidoka National Historic Site.
S 4936 requires a study of potential impacts before approving the Lava Ridge Wind Project in Idaho. The bill blocks the Secretary of the Interior from authorizing the project until the Comptroller General completes a report assessing effects on the Minidoka National Historic Site, wildlife, cultural resources, transportation, hunting, wetlands, and water resources. This study serves as a mandatory condition for project approval, directly affecting the wind project developers and federal permitting decisions. The bill does not alter the project itself but delays its approval pending the study's completion.
