Panorama provided environmental and permitting support to develop a 350-MW solar project in San Bernardino County, California. The project includes multiple solar array areas, operations and maintenance buildings, relocation of Rasor Road, and an interconnect to the Marketplace to Adelanto 500-kV transmission line in a valley bisected by Highway I-15. Panorama prepared the successful Plan of Development (POD); directed the preparation of 30 percent design engineering; directed completion of seismic, geology, geotechnical, surface hydrology, groundwater, visual, cultural resources, Tribal consultation, paleontological, desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, bats, and golden eagle studies; and finalized various biological reports. Panorama also prepared various plans, including those for roads and fencing, decommissioning, habitat compensation, invasive weeds, vegetation management, and emergency procedures.

Key issues included definition of the project to minimize the effects to the nearby Mojave National Preserve and avoid sensitive biological resources and major flash flood channels, refuting inaccurate biological sensitivity and habitat modeling for the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP), developing mitigation strategies to promote gene flow and connectivity for bighorn sheep, rerouting the major access route to the Rasor Off-highway Vehicle Area, defining desert tortoise relocation areas, and evaluating potential effects of groundwater pumping on the listed Mohave tui chub.
