In 1982 wind energy development in the San Gorgonio Pass area was formally studied, and the results published in the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Study EIR (1982), a joint environmental document prepared for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Riverside County. The document assessed three scenarios for wind energy development in the area and included criteria for the development of wind energy on both a countywide basis and specifically for the San Gorgonio Pass area.
In 1982, an investigation into wind energy development in the San Gorgonio Pass area was undertaken, which led to the publication of the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Study EIR (1982), a collaborative environmental report created for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Riverside County. The document assessed three possibilities for developing wind power in the region and established standards for implementing wind energy on both a countywide scale and specifically within the San Gorgonio Pass area.
