San Joaquin Valley Energy Center

Data Response / Issue Resolution Workshop

Purpose:	A previously scheduled workshop for April 8 was cancelled (see enclosure). Staff of the California Energy Commission now has rescheduled this Data Response and Issue Resolution Workshop for the proposed San Joaquin Valley Energy Center (SJVEC, formerly the Central Valley Energy Center) to discuss the Applicant's data responses in Noise, Hazardous Materials, Public Health, Transmission System Engineering, and Visual Resources. The topic of Air Quality will also be discussed.
When:	TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 2002
Where:	California Energy Commission Fourth Floor Hearing Room 1516 Ninth Street Sacramento, California
Time:	10:00 a.m. - ending no later than 5:00 p.m.
	Teleconference No.: 1-888-889-1958; Passcode: 15965; Conference Leader: Matt Trask
Project Summary:	Calpine Corporation proposes to develop the SJVEC, a nominal 1,060-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 and other purposes, supplied by the Fresno-Clovis Wastewater Treatment Facility via 21 miles of pipeline. The City of San Joaquin would provide domestic water for drinking and general sanitary purposes. Natural gas for the plant would be provided via 20 miles of new 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 near the Helm substation through a 0.25 mile transmission line.
Public Participation:	The public is encouraged to participate at the workshop, either in person or via teleconference (see information above).
