**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’sProposed 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 (CO 2 ) from the existing pulverized coal-fired power plant, transport the captured CO 2 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 atwhich 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 CO 2 capture facility using Alstom’s chilled ammonia process (CAP) at the Mountaineer Plant. Alstom’s CAP is a proprietary process for removing CO 2 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 CO 2 would be captured, treated, and compressed into a highly concentrated form suitable for geologic storage. The processed CO 2 would be transported by pipeline (primarily underground) to injection wells on AEP properties located within approximately 12 miles of the Mountaineer Plant. The captured CO 2 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 CO 2 from the 235–MW slipstream;

• Demonstrate a commercial-scale deployment of the CAP for CO 2 capture; and

• Demonstrate the injection, permanent geologic storage, and monitoring of CO 2 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 CO 2 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 pipelineswould be located along existing rightsof-way (ROWs) to the extent possible and on other AEP properties in the area.
