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.
A study was conducted in 1982 to examine wind energy growth in the San Gorgonio Pass area, which was then documented in the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Study EIR (1982), a joint environmental report created for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Riverside County. The document explored three options for developing wind power in the region and established guidelines for implementing wind energy on both a countywide basis and within the San Gorgonio Pass area.
