SEP 2 2 2008 September 22, 2008 TO: AGENCY DISTRIBUTION LIST (LOCAL) REQUEST FOR AGENCY PARTICIPATION IN THE REVIEW OF THE LODI ENERGY CENTER PROJECT (08-AFC-10) On September 10, 2008, Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) submitted an Application for Certification (AFC) to the California Energy Commission to construct and operate an electrical generating plant in the City of Lodi, San Joaquin County, California. The Lodi Energy Center (LEC) would be a combined-cycle nominal 255- megawatt (MW) power generation facility. Project Location The proposed project would be located on 4.4 acres of land owned and incorporated by the City of Lodi, 6 miles west of the Lodi city center, located near Interstate-5 (1-5) approximately 1.7 miles south of State Route 12. On the east side of the site is the City of Lodi's White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). The WPCF's treatment and holding ponds are located to the north; an existing generating plant (49-MW NCPA Combustion Turbine Project#2) is located to the west with a 230-kV Pacific and Gas Electric overhead electrical transmission line aligned further to the west, and the San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control facility is to the south. The proposed project would also be located near the city of Stockton which is approximately 2 miles south. The project site is currently undeveloped and used for equipment storage during upgrades to the WPCF. Project Description Highlights of the Project are as follows: • The proposed project is a 255 MW nominal, natural gas-fired, combined-cycle generating plant with a Rapid Response General Electric Frame 7FA combustion turbine-generator (CTG), a single condensing steam turbine generator (STG), a deaerating surface condenser; a 7-cell mechanical draft cooling tower; and associated support equipment. • The CTG is equipped with an evaporative cooler on the inlet air system and dry low nitrogen oxide (NOx) combustors. • The heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) would be a horizontal, natural circulation type, equipped with duct burners. The emission reduction system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit to control nitrogen oxide (NOx) stack emissions and an oxidation catalyst to control carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
