Snowpack and soil moisture in Mullen Fire burn scar; wind farm and stormwater infrastructure updates

Good morning! Today's newsletter is led with an interesting research study underway in the Snowy Range. Boomerang freelancer Carrie Haderlie explores how Colorado State University civil engineers and researchers will be using a Cosmic Ray Neutron Rover to study soil and snowpack moisture levels at the Mullen Fire burn scar . It will measure hydrological changes and water content across the area. There's also news from Cheyenne that would be of keen interest for Albany County and Laramie residents about a wind farm and stormwater infrastructure - two topics our area is very familiar with. Repsol Renewables North America still intends to move forward with its proposed Laramie Range Wind Project despite a setback condition. The project’s state permit was officially approved earlier this week with a total of 26 conditions. The Cheyenne City Council rejected a resolution this week that would have established a mechanism to set aside up to $10 million from the city’s general fund reserves for stormwater infrastructure. There's also an interesting story from the Douglas Budget via the Wyoming News Exchange about how the Converse County Clerk's Office discovered artificial intelligence may have been behind an emailed records request, basically asking for copies of everything

Laramie Range Wind Project moving forward despite state’s setback condition

CHEYENNE — Repsol Renewables North America still intends to move forward with its proposed Laramie Range Wind Project after a condition attached to its state permit prompted the developer to withdraw its county applications. The project’s state permit was officially approved Monday by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality’s Industrial Siting Division (ISD) with 26 conditions. One of those conditions requires a 2.5-mile setback from occupied residences for turbines and certain other above-ground infrastructure — a requirement that may affect the project’s layout. The wind farm, developed by ConnectGen Laramie County, an affiliate of Repsol, is proposed to include 139 turbines across 41,220 acres of Farthing Ranch Co. land and land managed by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments 20 miles northwest of Cheyenne. It would be 650 megawatts once fully operational. The Laramie County Board of County Commissioners denied the project at a September 2025 meeting. In January, the developer announced its intention to seek state approval through the ISD’s Industrial Siting Council (ISC) to permit the project on private and state lands. The permit was approved after a two-day ISC hearing Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The final permit includes 18 standard conditions applied to all
