9 federal geothermal leases on 13,443 acres.

9 authorized leases cover 13,443 acres of federal ground in Mono County. 2 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed. BLM leaves the production flag blank on 7, so the record understates what is actually online.

108 leases on 336,451 acres have been closed out here. That cuts both ways: the resource drew interest, and prior holders let it go rather than develop it. The reason is usually resource, access, or economics, and it is knowable before you commit capital.

44 transmission and power line rights-of-way cross federal ground here.

260 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in Mono County, 5 of them issued in the last twelve months. 12 applications are pending.

Of those, 35 fiber optic or communication grants, 44 transmission, distribution, or energy-facility grants. The named holders are the companies spending money on linear infrastructure in this county, and the federal segment is usually the shorter part of their route. The private miles in between are the work.

396 open mining claims compete for the same ground.

Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 165 are active, 231 newly filed. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

No authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 2 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.

The private half of Mono County isn't in any database.

Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the Mono County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
