Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Griffith Energy Limited Liability Corporation (Griffith) proposes to construct and operate the Griffith Energy Project (Project), a natural gas-fuel, combined cycle power plant, on private lands south of Kingman, Ariz. The Project would be a ''merchant plant'' which means that it is not owned by a utility and there is currently no long-term commitment or obligation by any utility to purchase the capacity and energy generated by the power plant. Griffith applied to interconnect its proposed power plant with the Western Area Power Administration's (Western) Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie and Parker-Davis transmission systems. Western, as a major transmission system owner, needs to provide access to its transmission system when it is requested by an eligible organization per existing policies, regulations and laws. The proposed interconnection would integrate the power generated by the Project into the regional transmission grid and would allow Griffith to supply its power to the competitive electric wholesale market. Based on the application, Western's proposed action is to enter into an interconnection and construction agreement with Griffith for the requested interconnections. The proposed action includes the power plant, water wells and transmission line, natural gas pipelines, new electrical transmission lines and a substation, upgrade of an existing transmission line, and access road to the power plant. Construction of segments of the transmission lines and a proposed natural gas pipeline also require a grant of right-of-way across Federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Public comments on the Draft EIS are addressed in the Final EIS, including addenda and modifications made as a result of the comments and/or new information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Area Power Administration operates and maintains a high-voltage electric transmission system in California to deliver power to qualified customers. Calpine Corporation has requested that Western study and consider the feasibility of an interconnection with Western's Keswick-Elverta/Olinda-Elverta 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines. Calpine proposed to construct and operate of the Sutter Power Project. The project, as proposed, would include a 500 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fueled, combined-cycle, electric generation facility; a new 5.7 mile 230-kV generation tie-line; a transmission line switching station; and a 12-mile (16 inch) natural gas pipeline to connect with Pacific Gas and Electric's Line 302. The siting of the project's generation facility is proposed on a portion of a 77-acre parcel of land owned by Calpine, adjacent to Calpine's existing Greenleaf 1 cogeneration powerplant in Sutter County, approximately 7 miles south of Yuba City and 36 miles northwest of Sacramento. Calpine's stated objective for developing the Sutter Powerplant is to sell power to a mix of retail and wholesale customers in the newly deregulated electricity market. As a ''merchant plant, '' Calpine intends to sell power on a short and mid-term basis to customers, and on the spot market. On July 29, 1998, Western issued a Sutter Powerplant Interconnection Feasibility Study. The study results indicated that the output from the proposed Sutter Powerplant Project would improve system reliability in the generation deficient Sacramento area. Based on Western's interest in improving system reliability and as the owner of the transmission lines for the proposed project interconnection, Western is the lead federal agency responsible for the project's National Environmental Policy Act compliance. The California Energy Commission has the statutory authority to license thermal powerplants of 50 MW or greater. The Energy Commission's siting facility certification process has responsibilities that are functionally equivalent to those of a lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act. Because of these similar agency responsibilities to examine environmental impacts, Western and the Energy Commission are joint-lead agencies for this project's environmental review. Although this arrangement was successful during the scoping and ''Draft Environmental Impact Statement'' stages of review, the two agency processes were separated at the close of the ''Draft Environmental Impact Statement'' public comment period on December 14, 1998, to assure process integrity for each agency.
Download or read book Wallula Power Project and Wallula McNary Transmission Line Project Final Environmental Impact Statement written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wallula Generation, LLC proposes to construct a 1,300-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired combined-cycle combustion gas turbine facility (the Wallula Power Project). The project would be located in the northwestern portion of Walla Walla County, Washington, approximately 8 miles south of the City of Pasco, 2 miles north of the unincorporated community of Wallula, and 7 miles southeast of the unincorporated community of Burbank. The purpose of the proposed power project is to provide energy to meet the needs of the Northwest and other interconnected electric transmission areas where electrical energy is needed. Firm transmission of the power generated by the Wallula Power Project would require construction of a new 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and construction of a new switchyard near Smiths Harbor. Approximately 5.1 miles of new transmission line from the proposed generation plant to the new switchyard would be completed. An additional 28 miles of new transmission line from the Smiths Harbor Switchyard to the McNary Substation would be constructed adjacent to the existing Lower Monumental-McNary transmission line and upgrades completed to the existing McNary Substation if loads are exceeded on the existing line. Wallula Generation, LLC, would construct and operate the generation plant and associated facilities, including the makeup water supply line. Bonneville would design, construct, and operate the two 500 kV transmission line segments and switchyard. To supply natural gas to the plant site, a 5.9-mile pipeline interconnection would be engineered, constructed, owned, and operated by PG & E Gas Transmission-Northwest (GTN). This EIS evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action, which includes the proposed power plant and 33-mile transmission line. It also evaluates an alternative using taller towers and longer spans between towers along part of the transmission line, and the use of an alternative approach for the transmission line where it would enter the McNary Substation. The No Action Alternative is also addressed.
