BILLING CODE 6820–KF–C 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Mountaineer Commercial Scale 

Carbon Capture and Storage Project, 

Mason County, WV 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability and 

Public Hearing. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) announces the availability 

of the Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Mountaineer 

Commercial Scale Carbon Capture and 

Storage Project (DOE/EIS–0445D) for 

public review and comment, as well as 

the date, location and time for a public 

hearing. The draft environmental impact 

statement (EIS) analyzes the potential 

environmental impacts of a project 

proposed by American Electric Power 

(AEP) Service Corporation, which was 

selected by DOE to receive financial 

assistance under the Clean Coal Power 

Initiative (CCPI) program. DOE’s 

Proposed Action is to provide costshared funding to AEP under the CCPI. 

DOE proposes to provide up to $334 

million of the project cost to support the 

construction and operation of AEP’s 

Mountaineer Commercial Scale Carbon 

Capture and Storage (CCS) Project 

(Mountaineer CCS II Project). AEP’s 

proposed project would construct a 

commercial-scale CCS system at its 

Mountaineer Power Plant (a 1,300- 

megawatt [MW] coal-fired power plant) 

and other AEP-owned properties in 

Mason County, West Virginia, near the 

town of New Haven. The project would 

capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the 

existing pulverized coal-fired power 

plant, transport the captured CO2 by 

pipeline to well locations, and inject it 

into deep saline geologic formations for 

permanent geologic storage. 

DATES: DOE invites the public to 

comment on the Draft EIS during the 

public comment period, which ends 

April 18, 2011. DOE will consider all 

comments postmarked or received 

during the comment period in preparing 

the Final EIS, and will consider late 

comments to the extent practicable. In 

addition to receiving comments in 

writing and by e-mail [See ADDRESSES], 

DOE will conduct a public hearing at 

which government agencies, privatesector organizations, Native American 

Tribes and individuals are invited to 

present oral and written comments on 

the Draft EIS. The public hearing will be 

held at the New Haven Elementary 

School at 138 Mill Street in New Haven, 

West Virginia, on March 30, 2011. Oral 

comments will be heard during the 

formal portion of the public hearing 

beginning at 7 p.m. The public is also 

invited to an informal session to learn 

more about the project and DOE’s 

Proposed Action at the same location 

beginning at 6 p.m. Various displays 

and other information about DOE’s 

Proposed Action and AEP’s 

Mountaineer CCS II Project will be 

available. Representatives from DOE 

and AEP will discuss the proposed 

project, the CCPI program, and the EIS 

process at the informal session. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for information 

about the Draft EIS, requests to receive 

paper or electronic copies of it or to 

provide comments on the Draft EIS 

should be directed to: Mr. Mark W. 

Lusk, NEPA Document Manager, U.S. 

Department of Energy, National Energy 

Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins 

Ferry Road, M/S B07, P.O. Box 880, 

Morgantown, WV 26507–0880. Requests 

or comments can also be made by 

electronic mail at 

Mountaineer.EIS0445@netl.doe.gov; by 

telephone (412) 386–7435, toll-free 1– 

877–812–1569; or by fax (304) 285– 

4403. 

The Draft EIS is available on DOE’s 

NEPA Web page at: http:// 

nepa.energy.gov/ 

DOE_NEPA_documents.htm; and on the 

National Energy Technology 

Laboratory’s Web page at: http:// 

www.netl.doe.gov/publications/others/ 

nepa/index.html. Copies of the Draft EIS 

will also be available at the locations 

listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this Notice. 

Written comments on the Draft EIS 

should be marked ‘‘AEP Mountaineer 

CCS Project’’ and sent to Mark W. Lusk, 

NEPA Document Manager, by one of the 

methods listed above. Oral comments 

on the Draft EIS will be accepted by 

telephone at the numbers listed above, 

or during the public hearing scheduled 

for the date and location provided in the 

DATES section of this Notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information about this project or 

the Draft EIS, please contact Mr. Mark 

W. Lusk (see ADDRESSES). For general 

information on the DOE NEPA process, 

please contact Ms. Carol M. Borgstrom, 

Director, Office of NEPA Policy and 

Compliance (GC–54), U.S. Department 

of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, 

SW., Washington, DC 20585; telephone 

(202) 586–4600; fax (202) 586–7031; or 

leave a toll-free message (1–800–472– 

2756). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE’s 

Proposed Action is to provide $334 

million in cost-shared financial 

assistance to AEP to support the 

construction and operation of AEP’s 

Mountaineer CCS II Project. This 

financial assistance would constitute 

about 50 percent of the estimated total 

project cost during the 46-month 

demonstration period. Through a 

cooperative agreement with DOE, AEP 

would construct a CO2 capture facility 

using Alstom’s chilled ammonia process 

(CAP) at the Mountaineer Plant. 

Alstom’s CAP is a proprietary process 

for removing CO2 from combustion flue 

gas. The capture facility would be 

located within the boundaries of the 

existing Mountaineer Plant and would 

occupy approximately 11.5 acres. The 

capture facility would process a 

slipstream of the plant’s flue gas, 

equivalent in quantity to the emissions 

from a 235–MW power plant. Each year, 

approximately 1.5 million metric tons of 

CO2 would be captured, treated, and 

compressed into a highly concentrated 

form suitable for geologic storage. The 

processed CO2 would be transported by 

pipeline (primarily underground) to 

injection wells on AEP properties 

located within approximately 12 miles 

of the Mountaineer Plant. The captured 

CO2 would be injected into deep saline 

formations for permanent storage, 

approximately 1.5 miles below ground. 

Consistent with DOE’s objectives in 

CCPI Round 3, the Mountaineer CCS 

Project would be designed to: 

• Remove approximately 90 percent 

of the CO2 from the 235–MW slipstream; 

• Demonstrate a commercial-scale 

deployment of the CAP for CO2 capture; 

and 

• Demonstrate the injection, 

permanent geologic storage, and 

monitoring of CO2 in deep underground 

saline formations. 

Existing infrastructure (e.g., roadways, 

utilities) at the Mountaineer Plant 

would be used to the extent possible. 

However, upgrades to, and construction 

of, additional infrastructure may be 

required. Major new equipment would 

include absorbers, regenerators, 

strippers, pumps, heat exchangers, 

compressors, and a refrigeration system. 

In addition, the CO2 capture system 

would include reagent and refrigerant 

unloading equipment, water-handling 

equipment, a control room, maintenance 

and administrative facilities, and a 

laboratory. All of these would be located 

at the Mountaineer Plant. Carbon 

dioxide injection wells and pipelines 

would be located along existing rightsof-way (ROWs) to the extent possible 

and on other AEP properties in the area.
