more frequent one-hundred- degree days, what is your contingency plan for drought, water scarcity and water contamination issues if they are to arise? TVA should take into consideration the continuing growth of Pleasant View, also. How often will petroleum fuel and oil need to be delivered to the site?
and operated, construction and operational storm water control plans will be in place (with frequent inspections to maintain the required permits with local and state agencies). Additionally, oils and chemicals would be stored in containment and managed according to the spill prevention plans, preventing any offsite releases.
Fuel Oil usage for this proposed facility cannot be estimated at this time. However, the site will only be permitted for use of Fuel Oil during emergencies (i.e. the site cannot be dispatched on fuel oil on an economic basis). Staffing needs for the operation of the proposed facility have not been determined at this early phase of development. However, 15-20 full time employees would be a realistic estimate, with additional personnel required on site for maintenance outages. In the EIS, TVA would consider implementation of staggered work shifts, primarily during daylight hours and a flag person during the heavy commute periods to manage construction traffic flow near the Project Site(s). TVA is preparing a Draft EIS that will provide explanations for dismissing any alternatives upfront from detailed consideration. TVA is still in the process of identifying reasonable alternatives that satisfy the purpose and need of the proposed action. Since generation from the proposed project is expected to replace generation from the second retired coal unit at the Cumberland Fossil Plant, the replacement power must be firm and dispatchable to help sustain reliability and resiliency of the grid. While Distributed Solar and Energy Efficiency measures are part of the target supply mix in the 2019 IRP, they may not meet the purpose and need driving this proposed generation facility. Generation capacity for each combustion turbine is dependent on the size and design of each type of combustion turbine. There are two (2) types of combustion turbine technologies included in the design of this proposed facility. The E-class frame combustion turbines have a nominal generation capacity of approximately 82MW. The aeroderivative combustion turbines have a nominal generation capacity of approximately 50MW. Generation capacity proposal decisions are made in accordance with the
Construction is to begin in 2026 with an estimated full operation in 2028. An estimated 200 employed onsite during peak construction. How many would be employed at the site during operation?
The scoping report states you considered and dismissed various alternatives. Where are those assessments and studies? Please expand on the reason why you dismissed energy efficiency and distributed solar.
How much energy does one CT unit produce? How many of existing CT sites have room for expansion? Have you examined combination projects?
