WIND IMPLEMENTATION MONITORING PROGRAM PHASE IV REPORT (WIMP) - The specific study area for this assessment has been defined as the boundary of the Wind Energy Policy Area (WEPA) as outlined in the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP 2003). The study area is within two County of Riverside planning areas, the Pass Area Plan and the Western Coachella Valley Area Plan. The Wind Implementation Monitoring Program (WIMP) was developed to periodically evaluate the large scale wind energy development in Riverside County pursuant to the Riverside County General Plan. Through the process of environmental analysis, the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Study (1982) identified specific ecological, physical and signal transmission impacts as having potential significant cumulative effects. As a result, the County developed a charter for the WIMP to address wind farm impacts as new wind turbine construction progresses. As of November 2007, Riverside County has released the WIMP Phase IV Report.
