2025 Mt. Baker Geothermal Consent to Lease

To explore or develop geothermal resources on National Forest lands, the USFS must consent to lease areas nominated by the BLM. This analysis does not authorize ground disturbance, but creates stipulations for authorized leasing areas. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/r56gzyn1msyfvj8md81arv1mo15tgoso

**Please consider personalizing to increase impact**

I support renewable energy, including geothermal energy, but I am concerned that this project has not been fully evaluated for its environmental impacts. Because the project is near sensitive wilderness, steep terrain, and important streams, it should undergo a more complete environmental review before any lease is issued. My main concerns are: • The project could affect local streams, groundwater, and fish habitat. • Drilling and construction could require new roads, heavy equipment access, and year-round traffic in a fragile area. • The project could disturb wilderness character, wildlife habitat, and the scenic quality of the area. • The project should not allow fracking in exploratory wells. • Water for drilling and operations should not be taken from local streams; if water is needed, it should be brought in from municipal sources. • Strong protections should be required for spills, blowouts, well failures, and site cleanup. • The project should include clear financial responsibility, including a substantial bond, so cleanup and restoration are fully covered if something goes wrong. • Any lease should be limited in time and should not remain open indefinitely. A full Environmental Impact Statement should be prepared before any lease is finalized, and it should clearly spell out what activities will and will not be allowed. At a minimum, each leasing project should require a closed-loop geothermal system, no new roads in sensitive areas, no fracking, no local stream withdrawals, and full restoration of the site if the project does not proceed safely or successfully. I support clean energy, but only if it can be developed without unnecessary harm to water, wildlife, wilderness values, and nearby communities.
