Appendix A. State of the States and State of the Tribal Lands for Geothermal Resources and Permitting Laws, Regulations and Incentives Nevada classifies geothermal resources as both Mineral and Water. Resources in the state belong to the owner of the surface estate unless they have been reserved by or conveyed to another individual (NCMR 2006, Battocletti 2005). The state’s lead geothermal regulatory agency is the Division of Minerals Commission on Mineral Resources, which issues permits to drill or operate geothermal wells. The length of the permitting process varies depending on well type, location and the agencies involved. Permitting for a commercial or industrial well could take 45 days whether on private or federal lands. Permitting for wells on federal land by a federal agency takes a minimum of three months; however periods of a year or more are typical. Unlike California, Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, where a number of the best geothermal prospects are located on USFS land, most of Nevada’s promising resources are on federal land managed by the BLM (Battocletti 2005). The Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Division of Water Resources are responsible for issuing water rights. The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Water Pollution Control oversees the administration of underground fluid injection wells as well as the administration of surface disposal of wastewater, including geothermal fluids. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection administers the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts (Battocletti 2005). Nevada has established a Geothermal State Working Group with leadership from the Nevada Division of Minerals-Oil, Gas and Geothermal Program. The Nevada group brings together state and regional energy professionals to promote the increased utilization of the state's geothermal resources (USDOE 2007a). The state’s RPS stipulates a requirement of 20 percent renewable energy by 2015 (solar being five percent of annual and one percent of total generation). The RPS for geothermal electric and hot water district heating systems recommends an increase of up to 20 percent by 2015 (Richter, 2007). Nevada’s geothermal development is primarily federally-funded however the state offers the incentive of property-tax exemption for geothermal power plants (USDOE 2007a). Currently the state has no GHG reduction targets but is considering GHG legislation (SB422) that would require power plant emissions to be below 2006 levels for 2011-2014, below 2005 levels in 2015, one percent below each of the previous years for 2016-2019 and one an a half percent below 2019 levels for 2020 (Camp 2007).
