indirect, and cumulative impacts are 

inherent in projects that generate power. 

Therefore, EPA stated that verification 

of the impacts on air quality, wetlands, 

hazardous waste, and cumulative 

impacts will need to take place as the 

project progresses, with appropriate 

avoidance and mitigation measures 

implemented. DOE anticipated verifying 

impacts through an environmental 

monitoring plan. This plan will be 

developed as part of the cooperative 

agreement with Southern Company, and 

reports on monitoring activities will be 

included in the reports required under 

the cooperative agreement. 

EPA also expressed appreciation of 

DOE’s consideration of diesel retrofit 

technology to minimize emissions from 

construction equipment. As stated in 

the final EIS, specification of the use of 

diesel retrofit technologies is not 

warranted since impacts from diesel 

engines during construction are not 

expected to be a concern. However, DOE 

will encourage Southern Company to 

consider the use of biodiesel and diesel 

retrofit technologies during construction 

activities to further reduce impacts. 

Decision 

DOE will implement the proposed 

action, providing, through a cooperative 

agreement with Southern Company, a 

total of $235 million in cost-shared 

funding to design, construct, and 

demonstrate the Orlando Gasification 

Project. 

DOE’s decision was made upon 

careful review of the potential 

environmental impacts, presented in the 

EIS, and incorporates all practicable 

means to avoid or minimize 

environmental harm. DOE plans to 

verify the environmental impacts 

predicted in the EIS and the 

implementation of appropriate 

avoidance and mitigation measures.
