FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the Proposed Action 

and SEIS should be addressed to 

Michael Hasty, Project Manager, 

Regulatory Branch, Louisville District, 

at (502) 315–6676, e-mail 

Michael.D.Hasty@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. 

Proposed Action. The project proposed 

by EKPC would include the 

construction and operation of a 278- 

megawatt CFB unit and associated 

infrastructure on the 3,272-acre Smith 

Site owned by EKPC in southern Clark 

County, Kentucky. The Proposed Action 

is needed to provide sufficient electric 

generating capacity to meet the baseload 

electric power needs of EKPC’s rural 

member distribution cooperatives in 

2013. Fuel would be supplied to the 

plant site by rail or truck. The 

construction of a substation and 

approximately one mile of 345 kV 

transmission line on the Smith Site 

would be required to connect the CFB 

unit to EKPC’s transmission system at 

the existing, on-site J.K. Smith 345 kV 

Switching Station. 

The discharge of fill material into 

waters of the U.S. would be required for 

the construction of two (2) CCB 

beneficial reuse structural fills; two (2) 

on-site CCB landfills; an emergency 

drought water storage reservoir; and 

several soil borrow areas for landfill 

cover and other on-site uses. The 

Proposed Action also would include the 

construction of a combined water 

supply intake and process water 

discharge outfall in the Kentucky River. 

EKPC’s schedule calls for the proposed 

facility to be operational by spring 2013. 

2. Alternatives. Alternatives to be 

considered by the Corps include no 

action, purchased power, renewable 

energy sources, distributed generation, 

non-renewable energy resources 

(including the Proposed Action), 

nuclear, demand side management, and 

alternative site locations. The Corps’ 

review of alternatives also will include 

the application of the Section 404(b)(1) 

guidelines to ensure the avoidance, 

minimization, and mitigation of impacts 

to aquatic resources. 

3. Scoping Process. RUS previously 

engaged in a scoping process for the 

Proposed Action that will serve as the 

basis for the SEIS. Following RUS’s 

October 6, 2006 NOI, that agency 

conducted scoping meetings for 

government agencies and the public in 

Trapp, Kentucky, on October 18, 2006. 

An Alternatives Evaluation and Site 

Selection Study (Alternatives Report), 

prepared by EKPC, was made available 

for review at the scoping meeting and 

on the RUS Web site. That Alternatives 

Report and the Public Scoping Report 

developed as a result of the scoping 

process and scoping meetings are 

available for public review at the Corps 

at the address provided in this notice, 

and on EKPC’s Web site at http:// 

www.ekpc.coop/smith-unit1.html. 

Because the Corps has participated as 

a cooperating agency with RUS in the 

NEPA process, and because the nature 

of the Proposed Action has not changed 

materially (except with the reduction 

from two CFB units to one CFB unit), 

the Corps intends to rely on the prior 

scoping process to complete and 

publish the Draft SEIS. In addition the 

Corps will continue consultations with 

the appropriate agencies. 

4. Availability. The Draft SEIS is 

anticipated to be available for public 

review and comment in September or 

October 2009.
