The Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to the USDA Forest Service (USFS) in support of the Constructing Ongoing National Strategy for Energy Reduction with Validated Efficiency (CONSERVE) project. USFS is proposing to establish a process to effectively utilize the ENABLE-ESPC contract and identify a pipeline of 10 or more candidate energy savings projects to implement with the newly created ENABLE-ESPC process. The project would be conducted in two phases with a go/no go decision point in between the phases. This NEPA determination applies to Phase 1 activities only.
In Phase 1, USFS would establish a process to effectively utilize the ENABLE-ESPC contract within a six-month time period and identify a pipeline of 10 or more candidate energy savings projects. Phase 1 consists only of the development and documentation of an efficient ENABLE-ESPC process and identification of a pipeline of candidate energy efficiency projects.
