| Purpose: | The staff of the California Energy Commission will hold a workshop for the proposed Central Valley Energy Center (CVEC) Project. One purpose of the workshop is to discuss the Applicant's data responses in technical areas that include, but are not limited to, air quality, biological resources and visual resources. Another purpose is to try to resolve outstanding issues. In addition, staff will briefly explain how it analyzes each of these technical areas and how it approaches the issue of environmental justice. |
| When: | THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2002 |
| Where: | San Joaquin Community Center 22058 Railroad Avenue San Joaquin, California |
| Time: | 4 p.m. - ending no later than 9:00 p.m. |
| Project Summary: | Calpine Corporation proposes to develop the Central Valley Energy Center (CVEC), a nominal 1060-megawatt, natural gas-fired, combined cycle power plant, to the West of the intersection of W. Colorado Avenue and Springfield Avenue in an industrial area on the southern edge of the City of San Joaquin. The plant would use approximately 7,000-acre-feet per year of reclaimed water for cooling tower operations and other purposes, supplied by the Fresno-Clovis Wastewater Treatment Facility via 21 miles of 27-inch pipeline. The City of San Joaquin would provide domestic water for drinking, showers, sinks and general sanitary purposes. Natural gas for the plant would be provided via approximately 20 miles of new 24-inch pipeline that would connect to PG&E's existing natural gas system near I-5. The project would interconnect with PG&E's electric transmission system at the Helm substation through a 0.25 mile transmission line. |
