Appendix A. State of the States and State of the Tribal Lands for Geothermal Resources and Permitting A-20 http://www1.eere.energy.gov/tribalenergy/guide/geo_idaho.html (USDOE 2007e). Tribes for which information is available are listed in table A-4 below. T able A-4: T ribes with P otential Geothermal Resources in Idaho Coeur D'Alene Tribe of the Coeur D'Alene Reservation Duck Valley Reservation Fort Hall Reservation Kootenai Tribe Nez Perce Tribe Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Laws, Regulations and Incentives Idaho classifies geothermal resources as sui generis and Water. Groundwater with a temperature greater than or equal to 212oF at the well bottom fall under the category of sui generis and is further classified as a “geothermal resource”. Groundwater between 85-212oF at the well bottom is classified as a “low temperature geothermal resource”. The state claims ownership of all geothermal resources underlying state and school lands and holds the right to regulate development and use of all of the state’s geothermal resources (Battocletti 2005). The Idaho Department of Water Resources issues water rights, well-drilling permits, and injection well permits. The state’s DEQ Water Quality Division is responsible for administering surface disposal of wastewater, including geothermal fluids. The Idaho Department of Lands has a process that includes permitting, bonding and royalties. The state does not have comprehensive environmental review statutes and does not coordinate permitting at the state level. Developers must obtain permits from state and local boards and agencies. The use of “geothermal resources” (as classified by the state) does not require a permit to appropriate water unless it will decrease groundwater in any aquifer or other groundwater resource, or measurably decrease groundwater available from prior water rights. The use of “low-temperature geothermal resources” requires a permit to appropriate water (Battocletti 2005). Idaho has established a Geothermal State Working Group with leadership from the Idaho Energy Division. The group organizes workshops to promote the increased utilization of the state's geothermal resources (USDOE 2007a). Idaho currently has no RES or RPS (Richter 2007) but does offer incentives for geothermal development, including low-interest loans, and sales tax exemption for equipment used in construction of geothermal plants. Minimal state funding is allocated for geothermal development (most previous research has been federally funded) (USDOE 2007a). The state presently has no GHG laws or pending legislation. As of May 2007, the Director of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is, by executive order, to develop GHG reduction strategies (Camp 2007).
