The proposed action analyzed in this EA is the granting of a ROW to Fotowatio to construct, operate maintain and terminate a 69 kV transmission line across BLM-administered lands. The transmission line would originate on private lands within the proposed Apex Solar Power Project site in the Apex Industrial Park. The construction and operation of the solar facility on private lands is a non-federal connected action. The proposed transmission line must cross BLM-administered land to interconnect to an existing transmission line with available capacity to accept the electrical load (granting the ROW is a Federal action).
The University of Delaware has constructed a wind turbine adjacent to its College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment campus in Lewes, Delaware. DOE proposes to provide the University a $1.43 million grant for this Wind Energy Project from funding provided in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-8) and an additional $1 million provided in the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2010. Thus, the total amount DOE is considering providing to the University of Delaware Project is $2.43 million. This EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the University of Delaware’s Wind Energy Project at its Lewes campus and, for purposes of comparison, an alternative that assumes the wind turbine had not been constructed.
DOE prepared this draft EA to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing a financial assistance grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to the Center for Commercialization of Electric Technology to facilitate the development and demonstration of a multi-faceted, synergistic approach to managing fluctuations in wind power within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas transmission grid.
The U.S. Department of Energy has extended the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Assessment of the University of Delaware Lewes Campus Onsite Wind Energy Project by 30 days. DOE prepared the draft EA to evaluate the environmental impacts that occurred during construction of the wind turbine and potential environmental impacts that might occur during the turbine’s operation, and is soliciting public comment.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) for DOE’s Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Part 433, “Energy Conservation and Fossil Fuel-Generated Energy Consumption Reduction Standards for the Design and Construction of New Federal Commercial and Multi-Family High-Rise Residential Buildings” and 10 CFR Part 435, “Energy Conservation and Fossil Fuel-Generated Energy Consumption Reduction Standards for the Design and Construction of New Federal Low-Rise Residential Buildings”. The EA summarizes the potential incremental environmental impacts of the Proposed Rule on building habitability and the outdoor environment.
Lincoln Electric proposes to construct and operate a 2.5 MW single turbine wind energy project at Lincoln Electric’s World Headquarters facility located at 22800 Saint Clair Avenue, Euclid, Ohio. The wind turbine would provide 2.5 MW of renewable energy to fulfill up to ten percent (10%) of the Lincoln Electric Headquarters’ annual electricity demand and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ohio proposes to provide the project a $1.0 million grant, which would come from a formula grant that Ohio received from DOE pursuant to the Department’s State Energy Program. This EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed construction and operation of the Lincoln Electric Wind Energy project and the alternative of not implementing this project.
The objective of this environmental assessment (EA) is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of creating and operating a radiological response training range by evaluating two alternative approaches to achieve the proposed action and a 'No Action' alternative. The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) reviewed several possible on-site and off-site alternatives and determined that the reasonable alternative included two on-site locations; no off-site locations met the site-selection criteria.
DOE prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing a financial assistance grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to Texas A&M University (Texas A&M) for installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) system at its campus in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M’s proposed project is to install and operate a high-efficiency CHP system that would produce steam for heating and cooling as well as generate electricity. This EA evaluates commonly addressed environmental resource areas and identifies no significant adverse environmental impacts for the proposed project. The proposed project would upgrade the Central Utility Plant and campus electrical distribution system to serve Texas A&M expansion. The proposed CHP system would result in substantial energy savings, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and reduce the amount of electricity Texas A&M would purchase from carbon-producing plants such coal-fired power generators.
This document is Chapter 16 (Environmental Impacts Analysis) of the TSD supporting the Residential Heating Products Final Rule. This chapter describes potential environmental effects that may result from amended energy conservation standards for residential heating products. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s energy conservation standards are not site-specific, and would apply to all 50 States and U.S. territories. Therefore, none of the standards would impact land uses, cause any direct disturbance to the land, or directly affect biological resources in any one area.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide up to $50 million in cost share funds to INEOS New Planet BioEnergy, LLC (INP BioEnergy) for the construction and operation of a commercial scale integrated demonstration bioenergy center (proposed project) in Vero Beach, Florida having an estimated total capital cost of $121 million. Construction would take place entirely within the property formerly used by Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. as a citrus processing facility. This EA evaluates the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the proposed project. For purposes of comparison, this EA also evaluates the impacts that would occur if DOE did not provide funding and the proposed project is not constructed (the No Action Alternative).
