Strauss Wind, LLC, an affiliate of BayWa r.e. Wind, LLC, proposes to construct and operate a 102 megawatt (MW) wind energy project, the Strauss Wind Energy Project (SWEP), south of the City of Lompoc. The Project site is the location of the previously proposed Lompoc Wind Energy Project (LWEP, 06CUP-00000-00009), which was approved by the County in 2009, but never constructed.

The California State Lands Commission (CSLC) has selected Aspen to prepare the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for California’s first offshore wind turbines. The CADEMO Project will include four floating wind turbines using two different forms of foundations.

Aspen prepared two major environmental documents, an EIR and EIS/SEIR, evaluating a proposed crude oil pipeline in southern California.

Aspen prepared an EIR for the Santa Barbara County Energy Division on the proposed Plains Exploration and Production Company (PXP) Tranquillon Ridge Project which would involve the development of oil and gas wells from Platform Irene into the Tranquillon Ridge Field located in State waters using extending reach drilling technology.

Aspen completed this 2,000-page document in 1992 for a Joint Review Panel consisting of Santa Barbara County, the State Lands Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and California EPA.
