GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Evergreen Power Company submitted an application for the 50 MW Evergreen Concord Peaking Facility on June 1, 2001, for a permit under the emergency permitting process.

Energy Commission Facility Certification Process

The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.
