• r A September 22, 2008 Page 2 • A small auxiliary boiler would provide steam needed to achieve reduced start times through the CTG "Rapid Response" system. • The LEC would receive recycled water provided by the City of Lodi's WPCF. The project would access this water through an existing 48-inch diameter pipeline in the utility corridor connecting the LEC and the WPCF. • Cooling tower blowdown water will be disposed of using a new Class I underground injection well (UIW). As a result, no process wastewater would be discharged from the plant. • A new approximately 520-foot, 230-kilivolt (kV) line would be constructed to transmit the plant output to the electrical grid via the existing 230-kV switchyard adjacent to the existing plant. • A new 2.5 mile-long gas line would be built parallel to the existing natural gas pipeline for serving NCPA's Combustion Turbine Project #2 (CTP #2) facility; it would provide fuel gas to the site. • A new onsite potable water well would be built. • Onsite interconnection to an existing recycled water pipeline and an existing sanitary sewer pipeline would also be included in the proposed project. Shared facilities between LEC and the existing plant Some of the existing facilities at the existing plant would be shared with the proposed project, most notably the infrastructure: • The anhydrous ammonia system, including both the 12,000-gallon storage tank and unloading facilities. • The 230-kilovolt (kV) switchyard and grid interconnection. • The fire systems, including fire water storage tanks and diesel-fired emergency fire pump. • The domestic water systems, including eye wash stations and emergency showers. • An existing Class I UIW (to be used for backup only). In addition, the following facilities would be modified or built as part of the proposed project and shared with the CTP #2 plant: • The administration building, including the control room, office space, maintenance shop and communications systems.
