Other
considerations
Key uncertainties in federal, State and local project permitting and suggestions for how such uncertainties
can be addressed
The project has received draft air permits and has been through the public hearing and comment
period on the DEIS. The remaining items to be addressed include the CO2 PSD requirement and
some minor adjustments on overall emissions to achieve a net reduction which can be readily addressed
in a short period of time. There are no major uncertainties remaining.
Other Considerations, if applicable
Issues or challenges the proposal faces and suggestions for how these issues and challenges
can be addressed for the project and future projects.
There are no other issues or challenges facing the LCEP other than market conditions.
Additional
Information
Property
Ownership of the potential project location(s), and the extent to which the project would utilize
existing rights-of-way and/or previously disturbed land.
The LCEP will be constructed on previously disturbed industrially zoned land that is
owned by AGC.
Projected in-service date and project schedule
Timeline for development and financing of the potential project, culminating in the commercial
operation of the project, that includes preliminary engineering and licensing, detailed engineering
and design, permitting, procurement of major equipment, construction, testing and commissioning.
Preliminary engineering has been completed to the point required to prepare and file
the applicable permit applications. The permitting process is well advanced as noted
above and should be completed in less than six months. An estimated time line is appended
as attachment A.
