In the recent DRECP Draft Alternatives, the REAT agencies propose that OHV Open Areas and Special Recreation Management Areas (SRMA) should be "rights-of-way exclusion areas for utility scale solar and wind development." Mitigation measures are also spelled out should recreational values within SRMA's be impacted by renewable energy development. These are presented in Appendix E of the Description and Comparative Evaluation of Draft DRECP Alternatives as Conservation Actions, see pages 100-103.
