Gemini Solar Project fencing, raised slightly for wildlife

The fencing at the Gemini Solar Project is raised slightly to allow passage for reptiles, including desert tortoises and lizards, and small mammals such as kit foxes, birds such as burrowing owls. Gemini developed measures to avoid, minimize and mitigate impacts to the environment during construction and operation. USGS collaborates with the Bureau of Land Management on research at this array.
