Sandstorms Caused by Clearway Solar Farm: What You Need to Know 

Despite Clearway’s alleged promises, residents report the project has stirred up worsening sandstorms in Newberry Springs/Daggett. The desert surrounding cities in San Bernardino County like Barstow, Newberry Springs, and Daggett contains loose silica sand underneath a crust layer and vegetation that operates to minimize the release of loose silica sand. However, with the development of the Clearway solar farm about 15 miles outside of Barstow, the crust and vegetation was removed in the construction and the fine silica sand beneath was freed to blow in the area’s high winds, causing immense and harmful sandstorms.
