Green Lake Determine Preferred Heating and Electrical Energy Options Letter Report by February 1, 1981 Draft Report by February 28, 1981 A. 30-Day Review Final Report by April 30, 1981 NARRATIVE is Site Reconnaissance and Meetings The Project Team will consult with State agencies, including Alaska Power Authority, Division of Energy and Power Development, Department of Community and Regional Affairs, and Alaska Growth Policy Council, and Federal agencies, including the Alaska Power Administration, Geolo- gical Survey, Army Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service, to collect information already compiled concerning energy sources and population, economic and energy use growth for Sitka. Key members of the team will visit Sitka and meet with local representatives to describe existing energy systems, project energy requirements, and define local resources. A complete survey of the City of Sitka energy requirements and the methods now being used to meet these requirements will be conducted. The survey will identify daily and seasonal requirements for electri- city and heating for residential and non-residential users. The survey will also identify methods now being used for process and space heating as well as assess the current condition of Sitka's electrical system. The survey will define potential local energy sources, including hydro- power, supplemental fuels such as bio-mass and municipal waste, energy conservation, and geothermal. Data on present energy consumption, weather information, electric gen- eration capacity and distribution would be collected; forecasts as to the availability of the various fuels, the unit costs of the fuels, the reliability of the fuel source, and price stability would be made. At the completion of the Site Reconnaissance the data would be compiled and put in a readily usable form by the Project Team so that all data would be quickly available in a convenient form for use by all work- ers. Il. Energy Balance - Existing Conditions An energy balance will be developed to better define existing sources of energy, users, and waste heat potential. Utility, hydrologic and fuel delivery records will be reviewed. Major end users and their consumption rates will be defined. Ill. Forecast 2010 Energy Requirements Current projections indicate Green Lake and Blue Lake hydroelectric capacities will be fully utilized by 1989. Population growth rates as high as ten percent annually have been forecasted. The Project Team will review past projections and planned economic development and assess the potential for high growth in Sitka. Growth scenarios will be analyzed for their impact on heating and electrical requirements, including peak loads and load duration curves. Energy use in 2010 will be forecasted, and displayed in terms of heat use, electrical use, load factors, and end users. IV. Evaluate Alternatives Technology profiles will be developed for alternative energy resources. Alternatives will include both centralized and decentralized technologies. Energy resources that will be evaluated include: 1. Petroleum products 2. Natural gas 3. Coal utilization 3.1 Gasification 3.1.1 Low-BTU gas 3.1.2 Medium-BTU gas 3.1.3 Synthetic natural gas 3.2 Liquifaction 3.3 Fluidized bed combustion 3.4 Direct firing cleaned coal 3.5 Direct firing with flue gas desulfurization 4. Solid waste 5. Waste heat boilers 6. Hydroelectric 7. Wood fuel 8. Geothermal 9. Wind 10. Solar (both active and passive) id. Existing production systems (including increased efficiency) 12. Conservation 13. Combinations of resources 14. Transmission interties 15. Energy storage The purpose of analysis of alternative technologies for resource and energy recovery is to allow decision on the feasibility of various systems and sources of energy. A two-step approach to technology assessment will be used. The first step is a screening procedure and the second is a more detailed analysis of alternatives that survive the screening. Since dozens of different energy sources and systems are being evaluated, a rational screening procedure will be used. In this screening, alternative techniques will be compared to a set of pre-emptive criteria. The criteria will be developed by consulting with Sitka representatives and APA and will represent basic study objectives set forth in the RFP. Any energy source or system which does not meet the criteria will be eliminated from further consideration. It is anticipated that the criteria will include the following: The system or process should be commercially available. The system or process should have been proven in installations of a scale similar to the size intended. The system or process must comply with applicable environmental regulations. The system must meet quality and reliability requirements to serve the mission. The system must be economical in construction and subsequent operation and maintenance. Much of the data necessary for review of the technical alternatives is available in the Black & Veatch technical library. However, technology of resource recovery and alternate energy sources is in a continual state of flux and process economics and performance data are being steadily updated. Consequently, it may be necessary to contact or visit process developers and equipment vendors as necessary to ensure accuracy and an up-to-date evaluation. Visits to operating installations will be made as required to obtain first-hand information on operational reliability. However, extensive field investigations are not thought necessary due to the data available in various technical libraries. , The systems that survive the initial screening will then be subject to further analysis. Waste heat utilization, increased conversion efficiency, space electric heating in conjunction with hydroelectric development, geothermal development, and energy conservation at this time appear to merit analysis after the initial screening. The following alternatives will probably be studied in detail: 1. Continue to use small diesels with existing hydropower for electricity and let individuals continue current space heating methods. This is a "do nothing" alternative which will serve as a base case for comparison. 2. Centralized district heating using oi] with supplemental boiler fueled by local bio-mass, wood, etc. Electricity provided by diesels and existing hydropower. 3. Same as alternative 2, but electric system includes new hydropower. 4. Electrical expansion with hydropower and combustion turbines. Combustion turbine exhaust used to heat recovery boiler for centralized district heating. 5. Centralized district heating boilers with progeneration of electricity. Balance of electricity provided by diesels, combustion turbines and hydropower. 6. Electrical system expands with central station steam turbines using multi-fuel boiler systems capable of bio-mass, wood or municipal waste burning. The system will co-generate steam for processing heat users in the summer, such as local canning industries, and district heating in the winter. For systems surviving the initial screenings, schematic layouts and materials balance diagrams would be prepared to show operating conditions in accordance with projected increases in requirements. Major equipment items will be sized. Significant ancillary equipment will also be identified. A present worth economic analysis will be made to determine total costs of all technically feasible resources and energy recovery alternatives. The analysis will include the following subtasks: ° Preparation of capital cost estimates for each alternative. These costs will be based on vendor quotations or catalog prices for major equipment and auxiliaries, where possible. . Etimation of operating costs for each alternative. Operating costs will be based on experience with similar equipment and include costs for facilities, transportation, and residue disposal, as well as administration. Estimation of project revenues or credits for recovered energy and materials. The uncertainties of forecasting such figures will be considered by utilizing conservative assumptions on the market. Computation of net annual costs. This would include total ownership, operation and maintenance costs, and revenues from recovered materials and energy. Estimation of project revenues or credits for recovered energy and materials. The uncertainties of forecasting such figures will be considered by utilizing conservative assumptions on the market. Computation of net annual costs. This would include total ownership, operation and maintenance costs, and revenues from recovered materials and energy. A systematic evaluation of the technical and economical risk inherent in each alternative. This will inculde an estimate of the impact of developing technology and cost sensitivity to key design and operating parameters, such as higher capital costs than estimated, reduced revenues from sale of energy, reduced revenues from the sale of recycled materials, higher labor costs, and varying inflation rates. Identification of environmental impact issues. Air quality will probably be the most critical factor; the costs of requisite air pollution control equipment will be included as necessary. Alternatives will then be compared on the basis of a rational ranking procedure. This procedure involves scoring each alternative according to how well it rates on various decision factors, i.e. costs, environmental impacts, and risks. The decision factors will also be ranked relative to one another. The following indicators, at a minimum, will be used to rank plans: 1. Economic present work of plan costs 2. Environmental community preferences impact on community infrastructure timing in relation to other capital projects air quality water quality fish and wildlife impacts land use terrestrial impacts The alternative technology profiles will be developed to the extent that resource concepts clearly lacking in merit can be identified and eliminated from further study. However, energy resource concepts will not be investigated in the detail required to clearly substantiate that a concept is feasible. Concepts will be investigated to the extent that there will be sufficient evidence to indicate that the concept has good potential to be feasible and that further investigation of the concept is warranted. Hydroelectric potential will be determined on the basis of findings from the site reconnaissance and information from previous Corps of Engineers and Alaska Power Administration studies. Hydrologic characteristics of potential hydroelectric project sites will be identified and will include development of flow duration curves, fish release requirements, and potential energy. The task will identify alternative hydroelectric project development concepts (location and configuration) and select the resource concept that appears to be most feasible and deserving of further study. Conceptual layouts for the selected hydroelectric concept(s), including plant appurtenances and equipment and major site development features, will be developed. All existing hydropower cost estimates will be updated to accurately reflect present Alaska construction costs. Wood-fired power generation will be assessed for Sitka on the basis of a reconnaissance assessment of the wood availability and character in each region. The future amounts of wood resource available, the accessibility of the resource, and the moisture content and expected heat content of the fuel will be determined. The assessment will also include a brief assessment of the costs of removing and transporting the wood resource to the power generation project site and will identify specific environmental problems associated with removal of the wood resource from the forest areas and air pollution emission problems associated with wood-fired thermal generation system. V. Recommend Additional Study Programs Many of Sitka's potential alternative energy sources have not been studied in any kind of detail. For example, the geothermal potential at Baranof and Sitka Hot Springs and the line of sea mounts from Kodiak to Mount Edgecumbe is known to exist, but no quantitative energy studies have been performed. The cost of an adequate reconnaissance study would be over $100,000, and a drilling program and geophysical survey would cost in excess of $2 million. The purpose of this task will be to recommend further data collection, reconnaissance, and feasibility studies for alternate energy sources displaying high promise, and estimate their costs. VI. Incorporate U.S.C.0.E. and U.S. APA Information on Hydroelectric Plans and Facilities The hydropower sites listed in the work plan outline have been assessed previously by the Alaska Power Administration. In addition, the Corps of Engineers have completed preliminary reconnaissance studies for areas in southeast Alaska that include Sitka. All previous hydropower studies indicate Takatz Creek to be the best undeveloped hydro pwer site for Sitka. In fact, the Alaska Power Administration completed a feasibility design study a few years ago that included a geology report, borings, design, quantity take off, and cost estimate. The Project Team will incorporate all previously compiled Federal and State information on hydropower development potential. Cost estimates will be updated to reflect current construction costs. Tyee Lake and Green Lake cost esimates and bid summaries will be reviewed. VII. Determine Preferred Heating and Electrical Energy Options Based on the evaluation ranking, preferred options will be presented with their associated costs and schedule of planning, engineering and construction. . VIII. Letter Report A letter report summarizing work to date and recommending funding for additional studies and/or facility construction will be presented to the City of Sitka, APA, and/or the Alaska Division of Budget and Management. The report will be delivered by February 1, 1981. IX. Draft Report A draft report will be prepared for review by all interested parties. Ten copies of the draft report will be delivered to the City of Sitka and APA on February 28, 1981. Re Final Report The final report would be a compilation of all data and analyses. As an indicator of its scope, a proposed Table of Contents for the report is presented below: CHAPTER 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Objectives Method of Approach Limitations of the Project CHAPTER 2 - SUMMARY CHAPTER 3 - ENERGY BALANCE Type and Source Consumer Classification Estimated Total Demands Documentation of Categorization CHAPTER 4 - FUTURE ELECTRIC POWER REQUIREMENTS CHAPTER 5 - ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCES CHAPTER 6 - POTENTIAL ELECTRIC POWER RESOURCES CHAPTER 7 - ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES Life Cycle Costs Unit Costs of Fuels Operational Costs Capital Costs Revenues and Credits Net Annual Costs CHAPTER 8 - FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS The report would be a printed and bound document and prepared in 70 copies. Maps, diagrams, sketches, tables, and charts would be freely used to supplement the technical narrative. The report will be delivered on April 30, 1981.

We attach importance to this program because we view as a necessary step in our Nation's energy problems. The proposed team of Ott Water Engineers, Inc., Harding-Lawson Associates and Black & Veatch are uniquely qualified to accomplish the proposed assignment for the following reasons: 1. The Project Team has demonstrated competence in the energy audit and balance. 2. The Project Team has extensive experience and capability in projecting electric power requirements, design and estimating the cost of electric generating systems. x 3. The Project Team has varied experience in application of alternate energy sources to electric power generation and central heating systems. 4. The Project Team has extensive experience in design of various projects in Alaska. 5. The Project Team has all the specialized experience to properly address the various objectives of this study. 6. The Project Team is familiar with local, state, and federal guide lines for environmental protection. Anchorage - Redding - Reno - San Francisco Mr. Brent Petrie Project Manager November 26, 1980 We are familiar with previous work performed by the Alaska Power Administra- tion on feasibility and, in a few cases, design of hydropower projects at such sites as Kelp, Takatz Creek, Baranof Lake, Carbon Lake, Milk Lake, Brentwood Creek, Deer, Maksoutof River, Plotnikof Lake, and Green Lake. Our concept of this project is to maximize the use of this previously compiled information through hydrology review and construction cost updating. Based on our previous Alaskan hydropower experience, we anticipate that construction cost will be a primary determinant on the feasibility of relying on hydropower for future energy needs. The remoteness of the sites adds significantly to these costs(@.&- concrete costs would exceed $1200 per cubic yard). One of the particular strengths of our project team is a highly skilled and competent geotechnical firm that will review existing boring logs and assess the impact of geologic conditions on total construct- ion cost. Our expertise with Southeast hydrology will also prove quite valuable. The enclosed brochure includes an organization chart for this project with key personnel as they will be assigned. In addition, resumes have been provided for all key and staff personnel which will be assigned to this project and Black & Veatch Staff Consultants which will be assigned as required to accomplish particular tasks.

PROJECT APPROACH Index PROJECT CONCEPT CAPABILITIES PROJECT CONCEPT PROJECT CONCEPT FIRM RESPONSIBILITIES In order to effectively execute the required studies, the tasks will be divided among the three firms; Ott Water Engineers, Inc., Harding-Lawson Associates, and Black & Veatch, Consulting Engineers. Ott Water Engineers, Inc. (OTT) is a consulting engineering firm special- izing in water-related planning, engineering, and science. For this project, OTT offers Alaskan project experience in and will be responsible for hydro, pump storage, and wind power planning and development, socio- economic planning, assessment of environmental constraints to power alter- natives, and Alaskan project development permit requirements. As a team, OTT and Black & Veatch have previously completed a water supply project for the City of Cordova. —_— a a a Harding-Lawson Associates, (HLA) will serve weeresrin and geological consultants for the assessment of energy alternatives in the Sitka, Alaska region. HLA's tasks would include three phases of the study. The first phase of HLA's work would be to collect and compile all available data on coal, petroleum, and geothermal potential in the area. Existing sources of information would be reviewed and summarized. Persons with expert knowledge on the Sitka area, such as Mr. Bob Sanders, would be interviewed for additional input. The second phase would involve a geologist accompanying the study team during the site reconnaissance at Sitka. The object of the site recon- naissance will be to visit known areas of potential energy development, to assess the resources, and to provide a geological perspective during the public meetings. The third phase will be to provide the study team a geological evaluation of the collected data and an assessment of the various alternatives. HLA's consulting role would include the traditional geological and geotechnical engineering aspects of development and also the effects of subartic condi- tions on possible developments of coal, petroleum, or hydroelectric poten- tial in the area. Black $_Neateh“would bere the primary responsibility for the potential ‘electric power resources) with the support of the other two firms. The available feasible options for Total Energy/Selective Energy facilities, and interconnection or modification of existing production systems would be presented. In addition, Black & Veatch would be responsible for coal and petroleum products utilization, solid _waste energy eo resources recovery, waste heat boiler applications, and other resources which may be uncovered in the field survey. GENERAL The studies would be divided into four stages: Data Collection, Technology Assessment, Preliminary Report & Estimating, and Final Report and Evalu- ation. During Data Collection, each firm would have the responsibility of collec- ting all data necessary. This data would be combined in a convenient form for all parties involved to use in subsequent stages. Technology Assessments would be presented for Potential Energy Resources including the following: Petroleum products Natural gas Coal utilization 3.1 Gasification 3.1.1 Low-Btu gas 3.1.2 Medium-Btu gas 3.1.3 Synthetic natural gas wn— Liquifaction Fluidized bed combustion Direct firing cleaned coal Direct firing with flue gas desulfurization Direct firing with low sulfur coal | 3.6.1 Unknowns which can impact the availability of / WWwWWWWw DOP wh low sulfur coal { 70 3.6.1.1 Transportation = 3.6.1.2 Long-term utility coal contracts « ™ 3.6.1.3 Environmental constrains at the mine \ which can affect leasing and/or mining \ operation | 3.6.1.4 Local and national air quality regula- | tions at the steam plant which are becoming more restrictive and which may / or may not be subject to "grandfather" / J clauses. 4 Solid waste 5 Waste heat boilers 6.

The preliminary and final report would present an Energy Inventory and Balance, projecting future requirements, consumer classification and life- cycle costs. DATA COLLECTION In Data Collection, the three engineering firms would simultaneously proceed in their collection of necessary data. They would gather data and conduct studies of the available technology for primary and auxiliary fuels for total or selective energy concepts, and would determine what fuels or combination of fuels would provide the optimum energy source for 20 years. They would consult with local officials, review literature, prepare a systematic engineering evaluation of technology based on satisfying all criteria and constraints. A survey of the existing facilities would be conducted to determine the present conditions, locations of the area from which alternate energy sources would be available, and other pertinent information necessary for evaluation. Data on present energy consumption, weather information, electric generation capacity and distribution would be conducted; forecasts as to the availa- bility of the various fuels, the unit costs of the fuels, the reliability of the fuel source, and price stability would be made. At the completion of the Data Collecting Phase, the data would be compiled and put in a readily usable form by the three firms so that all data would be quickly available in a convenient form for use by all three groups. TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT This portion of the study consists of an analysis of alternative tech- nologies for resource and energy recovery to allow decision on the feasi- bility of various systems and sources of energy.

The energy master plan is directed toward achievement of energy efficient facilities and systems utilizing available energy sources at the lowest life cycle cost. The energy sources being evaluated include non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels; renewable energy sources such as solar energy, biomass energy, and solid waste; and nuclear energy. New technologies which are being considered include coal gasification and liquefaction, fuel cells cogeneration, total energy, selective energy, heat recovery systems and the annual cycle energy system (heat from ice which is stored for environmental cooling). The study examines and evaluates existing and proposed facilities involving a representative sample of building types, building functions, building schedule, age, and fuel types being used to determine existing energy requirements. A basewide energy -use- model is then developed using the American Gas Association ECUBE 1975 program. The energy use determined from this model is balanced against the historical energy consumption data to assure accurate modeling. Potential conservation measures are evaluated and the valid measures are incorporated into the basewide model. Similarly, monitoring and control measures are evaluated and then incorporated into the model. After all measures affecting the energy consumption of the base have been evaluated and the minimum value approached, analyses of alternative energy sources and basewide systems are evaluated. It is at this point that the total energy, selective energy systems and varying energy sources are developed and compared against the existing base operation. Additional benefits of this study are the development of a library of building types and energy use for these buildings which are typical of the majority of buildings on most Army facilities. Engineering services performed by Black & Veatch include field survey work, computer modeling, energy conservation analysis, energy conversion concept development, application of new energy conversion technology, and alternate concept economic evaluations. REDSTONE ARSENAL, AL BASEWIDE ENERGY USE PLAN PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA Black & Veatch is presently conducting a study for a Basewide Energy Plan for the entire Presidio of San Francisco, California. The study is being performed for the Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and encompasses each building on the base including Letterman Army Medical Center, Letterman Army Institute of Research, the Sixth U.S. Army Headquarters, various administrative facilities, a boiler plant, community service facilities, utility and maintenance facilities, and warehouse facilities. The initial phase of the Basewide Energy Plan entailed performing an Energy Use Survey which included a determination and analysis of the following: ¢ Present and future base population ¢ Weather data peculiar to the Presidio of San Francisco ¢ Electrical and natura! gas use profiles for the past three years and projections for the future ¢ Electrical and natural gas energy used by each building on the base e Energy, environmental and planning regulations. Energy used by each building was determined by grouping typical buildings together and modeling one representative building from each group. Means for determining the energy usage of the representative typical buildings included actual metering, past utility records, American Gas Association ECUBE 75 computer programs, ASHRAE “bin method”, and other manual calculations. The energy - used by each building on a per-square-foot basis was applied to each building in the typical group. Other portions of the study will include determination and evaluation of the following: e Energy conservation measures pertaining to buildings and systems © Approach to reduction of usage of nonrenewabie energy by 20 per cent of that used in 1975 ¢ Approach to reduction of natural gas consumption by 50 per cent of that used in 1975 ¢ All available renewable energy sources including solar energy, biomass energy, wind and hydroenergy, tide and wave propagation, geothermal energy and solid waste 8E20.578 HEATING SYSTEM PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO DENVER, COLORADO A thorough study and report was made of the down- town Denver heating system for the Public Service Company of Colorado by Black & Veatch in 1971. The purpose of this report and the studies upon which it was based was to first analyze the exist- ing system, forecast steam load conditions within the service area and determine steps which should be taken to meet future capacity requirements. Second, the report was to provide a basis to the Company for determining the feasibility of handling future potential loads outside the existing system boundaries. Finally, the report was to show an allocation of Zuni Station plant and operating costs to electric and steam heat service. Various plans and alternates for providing service to meet projected loads were developed. Analysis of load growth and the economics associated with various possibilities and alternatives for expanding the existing system was summarized in tables and graphs to provide information for the Company’s analysis of the practicality of extending the existing system. Analysis and allocation of property and operating expenses to electric and steam heating functions were based on normal maximum use of station fa- cilities. Separation of plant investment by accounts within accounts was based on Company property records, Allocation percentages applicable to op- eration and maintenance expenses were developed for electric and steam heat functions. 16€50.375c 7ES.1180-1/16 Albert Lea, Minnesota City of Alexandria, Louisiana City of AMAX Inc.

The study was required to evaluate the adequacy of existing electric and steam generation systems at the USCG Support Center, to evaluate the ability of these systems to meet future requirements, and to make recommendations for the most reliable and cost effective method of providing for future requirements. The study examined the steam and electric generating systems and specifically addressed the following parameters: * Condition and reliability of existing systems ¢ Projected loads for a twenty-year life ¢ Ability of existing equipment to meet future loads * Operations and maintenance procedures © Interaction of steam and electric generation ¢ Present construction program ¢ Present and projected generating resources of Kodiak Electric Association (KEA), ability of KEA to deliver reliable power to the Support Center, and estimated costs of purchased power and energy ¢ Time and load related schedule for system improve- ments recommended to increase the reliability and efficiency of the power system * Costs and economic justification of recommended im- provements ¢ Recommended management program ¢ Environmental impact of recommended system im- provements The existing steam power plant consists of four boilers STUDY AND DESIGN OF POWER SYSTEMS USCG SUPPORT CENTER KODIAK, ALASKA rated 40,000 Ib/hr each, one steam turbine generator unit 2,000 kW, and two steam turbine generator units rated 1,000 kW each. The existing diesel power plant consists of two diesel-generator units rated 600 kW each. In total, seven alternative energy systems were developed and examined to determine the system best suited for providing future requirements. Plan “A” is the existing system with additional future requirements supplied by KEA. Plan “B” is a Total Energy System using heat recovery from four on-site 2,625 kW diesel generator units and heat from existing boilers. Plan “C” is a Total Energy System using existing boilers for heating and heat recovery from three 2,760 kW gas turbine generators. Plan "D” is a Total Energy System using existing boilers, two new 2,625 kW diesel engine generators with heat recovery for base load electrical operations, and the existing steam turbine units for peaking and standby. Plan “E” is similar to Plan “D” except that it uses two 2,760 kW gas turbine units with heat recovery in lieu of the diesel units of Plan “D.” Plan “F” is a Base Load Selective Energy Plan using two new 2,625 kW diesel engine generators with heat recovery for base load electrical operations and purchasing power from KEA during peak periods. When engine heat recovery was insufficient, existing boilers would supply the additional heating loads. Plan "G” is similar to Plan “F” although using two new 2,760 kW gas turbine generator units with heat recovery in lieu of the diesel units in Plan “F.” Following the study, Black & Veatch designed a power plant addition including the following features: ¢ One 2,500 kW diesel generator with space provided in the building for a second unit including auxiliaries e Exhaust heat recovery boiler to supplement the existing steam distribution system © Building heating system utilizing engine jacket water as heat source * New power station connected to existing power plant with direct access to control room *¢ Engine to be operated on JP-5 fuel or No. 2 Fuel Oil TOTAL ENERGY POWER PLANT SYSTEM SHEMYA AIR FORCE BASE SHEMYA, ALASKA The Shemya Air Force Base Total Energy Power Plant System and associated support facilities were design- ed by Black & Veatch for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Corps of Engineers, Anchorage, Alaska. The power plant is housed in a pre-engineered metal building with special design features to accommodate Seismic Zone 4 and the salt atmosphere of the Western Aleutian Islands. This power plant provides electrical energy and hot water heating in support of the entire island, consisting of the Shemya Air Force Base and the Cobra Dane Radar System. Support facilities in- clude air-cooled radiators, exhaust heat recovery boilers, fuel oil handling and storage facilities, lube oil storage facilities, and electrical power distribution equipment. The power plant consists of four 3,000 kW Cooper-Bessemer LSV—I6 diesel engines operating on No. 2 fuel oil and generating electrical power at 13.8 kv. The building is 121 ft. by 128 ft. Rigid frames on 24 ft. and 28 ft. centers span 121 ft. and carry a 10 ton bridge crane. A 20 ft. by 128 ft. steel framed muffler and equipment platform is at one end, and a 40 ft. by 128 ft. switchgear platform is at the other. The switch- gear platform is of steel framing with concrete deck of composite design. Engineering services performed by Black & Veatch included the preparation of construction plans and specifications, construction schedules, change order Preparation, and operating and maintenance manuals. Engineering services also included the preparation and expediting of Government-furnished equipment Procurement. 16825.376 TOTAL ENERGY, SELECTIVE ENERGY, HEAT PUMP STUDIES FT. CAMPBELL HOSPITAL FT. CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY REDSTONE ARSENAL HOSPITAL HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA FT. RUCKER AEROMEDICAL LAB DOTHAN, ALABAMA FT. McCLELLAN MP SCHOOL ANNISTON, ALABAMA Black & Veatch was employed by the Mobile District of the Corps of Engineers to perform Total Energy and Selective Energy Studies at various military facilities. These facilities ranged from single struc- ture to multibuilding installations with central station plants. Status of the buildings under study ranged from under construction to the concept plan- ning phase. Energy consumption and heating and cooling peaks were calculated by an hourly load and system simula- tion utilizing the American Gas Association E CUBE computer program. This method of simulation allowed for the thermal time lag of building materials, inter- nal loads generated by people, lighting, machines and other sources, and ventilation rate and thermo- Stat setting variations. Internal profile monitoring of existing similar facilities was performed to ensure a close approximation of actual internal loads that occur in completed facilities. Several combinations of equipment for Total Energy and Selective Energy concepts were considered, and the E CUBE Equipment Selection program utilized to compute total energy consumption. The study com- pared the benefits of onsite electrical energy genera- tion in isolation and in parallel with commercial power to the life-cycle costs of operating conven- tional or purchased electrical energy and proposed energy systems. The comparison was to demonstrate the feasibility or infeasibility of constructing the proposed facilities. The use of heat pumps was also evaluated for the Ft. Rucker Aeromedical Lab utilizing commercial electrical power as the energy source. 8TE5.177 8TE12.578 TOTAL ENERGY FEASIBILITY STUDY Black & Veatch conducted a Total Energy Feasibility Study for the Fort Worth District of the Corps of Engineers on a large barracks complex at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The major facilities in the barracks complex consist of five 5-company barracks buildings with food service, to be constructed in the near future, and an existing 1630-man_ barracks complex with food service. A number of other support type facilities were included in the study. Electrical energy and domestic hot water consumption was metered to determine hour-by-hour energy consumption profiles on the existing barracks. The energy requirements of the entire complex were determined by the use of a computer simulation of the entire complex. Environmental heating and cooling energy, electrical energy, and domestic hot water heating energy use was determined for one full year based on hourly weather data. The feasibility of utilizing diesel and gas turbine engine- generator units with exhaust heat recovery to meet the entire energy needs of the barracks complex was evaluated, along with an on-site coal fired boiler steam turbine generator unit. BARRACKS COMPLEX FORT SILL, OKLAHOMA A total energy study for the North American Air Defense (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex Expansion, located underground 2000 feet inside of Cheyenne Mountain, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, was conducted by Black & Veatch for the U. S. Air Force Aerospace Defense Command. Expansion of the national defense Combat Operations Center at the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex produced a requirement for a new power plant facility of more than twice the generation capacity of the existing power plant. The total energy study was undertaken to establish firm design criteria for the new power plant facility. The total energy study involved a determination of energy uses throughout the facility with emphasis on the amount of energy required to support the operations of the power plant auxiliaries. An unusual amount of power was required to provide cooling air and combustion air to the power plant compared to conventional power plants. Energy requirements were further complicated by the increase in power 8C25.773 TOTAL ENERGY STUDY CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX NORAD plant capacity without increasing the size of air intake and exhaust systems. Existing utility systems were surveyed and analyses were conducted to obtain data on heat balances and energy losses to establish the validity of data being used as the basis for the proposed expansion. The combustion air and cooling air flow losses through the extremely long and complex intake and exhaust systems were of primary concern. Power plant expan- sion concepts, prepared by others, were analyzed to determine optimum component locations with respect to costs and performance factors. Cost estimates were prepared on alternate power plant concepts, proposed by Black & Veatch, which utilized different types of prime movers to reduce the amount of air- flow required and therefore reduce the energy losses due to airflow friction in the long intake and exhaust tunnels. Test procedures were prepared for the measurement of airflow losses in the exhaust tunnel in order that the expansion program would have adequate data for design criteria. COAL GASIFICATION STUDIES Black & Veatch has performed comprehensive studies for a variety of clients involving process heating, steam generation, electric generation, and combined genera- tion facilities. Black & Veatch has investigated the Lurgi, Koppers-Totzek, Winkler, and IGT-U-GAS coal gasifi- cation processes for facilities whose requirements range from 65x10 BTU/HR to 9100x10® BTUH/HR. A coal fuel survey for the Stauffer Chemical Company in Green River, Wyoming, was performed in 1975 to eval- uate the means available to replace natural gas fuel for a soda ash facility requiring 2x109 BTU/HR of fuel. In addition to coal gasification, shale oil, direct use of coal and fuel oil were considered as alternate energy sources. An energy source analysis for Johnson’s Wax plant in Racine, Wisconsin and Waxdale, Wisconsin, was _ per- formed in 1976 to determine the most practical energy source to replace natural gas. The study included the economics, environmental impact, availability and re- liability of coal gasification and other energy sources for plant requirements of 65,000 #/HR and 150,000 #/HR of coal. A study to establish a project description for evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of a 300 MW combined cycle unit fired with gas was performed in 1976 for the Cameron, Missouri, coal gasification plant site for the Federal Energy Administration, Region VII Kansas City, Missouri. The design of the coal gasifica- tion plant will be studied in a later phase of the project. In 1976 also, a joint study with City Service Company and KCPL was performed to determine the feasibility of locating a power plant on site with a coal gasifica- tion plant for the IATAN facility in Kansas City, Mis- souri. The facility would share common coal handling facilities and allow the coal gasification plant to process a portion of the coal while the power plant used the remaining coal. The coal gasification plant would have a capacity of 220x106 FT3 of gas per day. Black & Veatch is presently engaged in an alternate energy source study for four Russell Stover Candy plants in which coal gasification is being considered. 8C2.678 Black & Veatch made a study of the Denver Federal Center for the General Services Administration; the study involved all aspects of the central heating facilities including the distribution system. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum energy source for the Center to 1985, in terms of economics and utilization of natural resources. The study also determined the optimum utilization of existing energy conversion equipment and thermal transport systems in conjunction with new systems required to implement the use of a new optimum energy source. The study covered the following general areas: @ Survey of existing heating and cooling facilities and systems @ Projected availability and cost of potential energy sources @ Projected future land use and determination of growth in energy requirements @ Environmental impact of each energy conversion system considered @ Utilization of existing systems in conjunction with each alternate considered @ Estimated life-cycle costs for each alternate considered 8D3.576 CENTRAL HEATING FACILITIES STUDY DENVER FEDERAL CENTER — GSA e@ An economic evaluation of the life-cycle costs of each alternate considered @ Collection of all pertinent data relative to energy consumption and costs with respect to the condi- tion of existing equipment and anticipated future requirements Alternates considered were variations of: @ Steam distribution at 370 F @ Water distribution at 180 F e@ Water distribution at 70 F utilizing water-to-water heat pumps @ Replacing absorption cooling with electric cooling e@ Water-to-water heat pumps involving low tempera- ture water receiving heat from solar collectors or solid waste incineration @ Air-to-water heat pumps reclaiming heat rejected by water chillers, boilers, and building exhaust systems Air pollution control requirements were an integral part of this study. As a basis for analysis, various documents pertaining to air pollution control were studied; these included the ‘‘Clean Air Act’’ and the “National Petroleum Council Report on United States Energy Outlook’’. 8U15.1178-1 In support of DOE’s Solar Thermal Program, Black & Veatch developed for the San Francisco Operations Office, Oakland, California, the conceptual design for the 5 MW Solar Thermal Test Facility (STTF) located at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Project research included the acquisition of test requirements from three pilot plant contractors; additional information was obtained from DOE officials and technical advisors. The conceptual design encompassed preparation of the 5-MEGAWATT SOLAR THERMAL TEST FACILITY — CONCEPTUAL & FINAL DESIGN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY following documents. Statement of Facility Capabilities Facility Requirements Definition Conceptual Heliostat Field Design Construction Cost Analysis and Analysis of Operating Costs Conceptual Design Drawings Preliminary Outline Specifications CPM Design and Construction Schedule Preliminary Environmental Report Black & Veatch was subsequently engaged by DOE to provide final design documents for the STTF. Black & Veatch was also engaged to provide field surveillance and office engineering services during the construction phase of the project. The purpose of the facility is to test and evaluate solar research equipment for use in developing operating equipment to be used in future solar electric power generation plants. The equipment to be tested includes different types of Subsystem Research Experiment (SRE) receivers for DOE’s Central Receiver 10-MW Electric Pilot Plant. The STTF consists of three principal physical elements: ¢ A 200-foot, slip-formed concrete tower to support solar receivers. © A heliostat field composed of 222 computer-controlled, 25-facet solar reflectors. The heliostat field is the largest solar collection system in the world and is capable of functioning in a 360-degree field around the tower, or as a 90-degree north field. * A control building to house the personnel and equip- ment required for operation of the facility. DOE's required date for initial operation of the facility necessitated the use of Fast-Track Construction Methods. Extensive use was made of CPM scheduling techniques in analyzing the accelerated construction program which ultimately required fragmentation of the construction documents into seven separate bid packages. 8U15.1178. -2 8U17.279 The calorimetric solar receiver was designed by Black & Veatch for the Department of Energy for measuring incident and absorbed solar radiation reflected from the heliostat field at the Central Receiver Test Facility (CRTF), Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The receiver consists of nine 1-meter (3.28-ft) square copper panels in a 3-meter (9.84-ft) square array. Each panel is capable of absorbing 0.5 MW of thermal energy but the total array is designed for 1 MW. Each panel is 1 MW CALORIMETRIC RECEIVER FOR THE CENTRAL RECEIVER TEST FACILITY (CRTF) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO The Working Receiver on the 140-ft test level of the Tower being radiated by solar energy from eight heliostats. Maximum energy absorbed by the Working Receiver was 1.17 MW thermal from 54 heliostats.

(Aerial Photo Courtesy Sandia Laboratories) SOLAR ENERGY/IRRIGATION FACILITY DESIGN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, STATE OF ARIZONA Black & Veatch is one of three firms selected for preliminary design of an experimental facility which uses solar power to pump irrigation water from deep wells Called the 150 KWe Solar-Powered Deep Well Irrigation Facility, the program is jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the State of Arizona The experimental irrigation facility will help determine the technical feasibility of using solar energy for irrigation systems that now use depletable energy sources. With potential rate increases and supply shortages of ‘natural gas, diesel oil, and electricity, many western farmers face the prospect of irrigation wells becoming unprofitable Should solar-powered irrigation prove to be technically and economically sound, it would provide a clean alternative source of energy for much of the nation’s food production industry. Following completion of the 7-month preliminary design phase, DOE plans to select the design that appears most promising and award a follow-on contract for detailed design, construction, and testing of the system. The facility will be located in southern Arizona and is scheduled to be operating by the end of 1979. Basically, the design concept involves the use of highly- polished reflectors to track the sun and focus its energy onto a receiver. This thermal energy will then be used to drive a turbine-generator to produce electricity. The system will generate 150 kilowatts of electricity (equivalent to approximately 200 horsepower) to power a conventional irrigation pump. Storage capacity or the capability of drawing on existing electric utility off-peak power will permit the facility to operate 24 hours a day during the peak irrigation season. The Arizona project will be a companion toa similar 25 hp solar irrigation test facility designed for shallow-well applications and currently being completed east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. DOE's long-range plans call for the best elements of both experimental projects to be incorporated in a single more cost-competitive system. 6S57.479 8P4.479 SOLAR THERMAL CONVERSION TO ELECTRICITY UTILIZING A CENTRAL RECEIVER, OPEN-CYCLE GAS TURBINE ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE Black & Veatch, assisted by Honeywell, Inc. and Georgia Institute of Technology, was engaged by the Electric Power Research Institute to design, test, and evaluate a system for conversion of solar thermal energy to electricity, through utilization of a central-receiver, open- cycle gas turbine. Design development for the project included the following. * Preparation of a conceptual design for a_ high- temperature cavity receiver suitable for commercial applications at a maximum fluid outlet temperature of 1800 F to 2000 F. * interfacing of existing gas turbomachinery with the receiver. ¢ Performance verification of promising design materials and concepts through small scale tests. © Estimation of costs for the receiver and for modifica- tion of existing gas turbine machinery Following the commercial-scale, conceptual design, a 1 MWt Bench Model Solar Receiver (BMSR) was de- signed. Ceramic-to-metal joints were designed and successfully tested at Atlantic Research in Alexandria, Virginia. The detail design drawings were prepared by Thermal Transfer in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Equip- ment procurement has been initiated and the BMSR will be fabricated by Thermal Transfer by early 1979. The next phase of the project will involve testing and evaluation of the BMSR system in DOE’s 5 MW Solar Thermal Test Facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA 8P6.479 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY POWER PLANTS ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE Black & Veatch was engaged by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to conduct a study assessing five solar energy power plant concepts and the associated environmental problems connected with the development of these concepts. Several types of solar energy plants were selected for study including solar thermal, photoproduction, photovoltaic, ocean thermal, and wind energy. The primary objective of the project was the establishment of a basis of information—including environmental impact assessments, cost comparisons, and site evaluation studies—which would allow electric utilities to objectively analyze solar energy plants in relation to conventional power plants. All findings from the study were integrated and summarized to guide and support preparation of solar plant environmental impact statements and conventional plant licensing documentation. To accomplish this objective, several tasks were undertaken. Initially, an environmental assessment methodology was developed for use in comparing solar plant concepts with one another or with other plant types. Plant designs were then prepared for each type of solar energy system to the level of detail necessary for site selection and environmental assessment. Based on actual potential availability and technical suitability, reference sites were selected for each type of solar energy plant. In addition, both beneficial and adverse primary environmental impacts were assessed for each alternative system. These environmental impact assessments were generalized according to the regions of the nation providing potential locations so that the range of environmental effects for applicable geographic regions could be developed. Secondary impacts also were assessed, including the resource and manufacturing requirements for each solar energy system and the probable degree of market penetration for various regions of the nation. To the extent possible, environmental impacts were converted into monetary terms to facilitate cost-effectiveness comparisons As the prime contractor, Black & Veatch had overall responsibility for the work and was involved in all major technical tasks in either an administrative or technical support capacity. Ecology Consultants, Inc., of Fort Collins, Colorado was a major subcontractor for the project. PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA DESIGN MANUAL FOR SOLAR ENERGY HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS A design manual was prepared by Black & Veatch to assist architect/engineers in designing HVAC and domestic hot water systems which utilize solar energy as the primary energy source. Corps of Engineers manuals were used extensively for reference in preparing the manual Included within the manual are the following elements ¢ A general discussion of energy sources and associated economic considerations * Descriptions of general systems used for solar heating and cooling of buildings. * Detailed descriptions of components and types of sys- tems used to apply solar energy ¢ Procedures for conceptual and detailed system design. * Recommendation for achieving system optimization through the use of computerized analyses 8D8 678 $60. 479C DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY UTILIZATION CONCEPTS NATIONAL AERONAUTICS & SPACE ADMINISTRATION Black & Veatch teamed with Honeywell Systems and Research Center to perform a study program of dynamic conversion of solar-generated heat to electricity. The objective of this study effort was to develop several different conceptual designs for large scale exploitation of solar energy for the generation of electricity. Honeywell's responsibility was related to collecting and concentrating the solar radiation. Black & Veatch was responsible for developing concepts for heat transport systems and turbine-generator-heat rejection cycles. Black & Veatch engineers developed different concepts for converting the solar generated heat to electric energy utilizing various solar collector array configurations. The optimum system was. selected for evaluation of performance and cost considerations. Black & Veatch also had the responsibility for developing specific criteria for the selection of a site for a solar/electric power plant. The criteria included location for high solar radiation, land area requirements, water requirements, availability of transportation and transmission facilities, and seismic activity. The final objective of the Black & Veatch effort was the engineering and design of an optimum power plant system for a specific site. NUCLEAR ENGINEERING PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF OKLAHOMA BLACK FOX STATION Work performed and in progress for the Public Ser- vice Company of Oklahoma Black Fox Station pro- ject includes site selection, detailed investigations of site suitability, site development planning, prep- aration of the Environmental and Preliminary Safety Analysis Reports, development of system design specifications and detailed designs, preparation of specifications for major equi;ment purchases and construction, and various administrative systems.

Prior to initiating design work, an economic study was made to compare the cost of a diesel power plant and a rectifier power system using commercial power to provide the required dc current. Five existing 1200-kW diesel generators were instal- led in the new power plant designed by Black & Veatch for the deperming facilities. Black & Veatch also designed an operator's console in an existing instru- ment building; dockside termination of power, control, and monitoring circuits; supporting utilities; and riprap for shoreline erosion control. The supporting utilities included electrical distribution and an ad- ditional transformer; water distribution and_ service lines; and a sanitary sewer line. The project also involved the design of additional roads and _ altera- tion of existing roads, as well as fuel oil storage, distribution and handling facilities. Because of possible deterioration during long-term storage or damage during shipment, it was neces- sary to determine requirements for reconditioning the existing diesel generators and auxiliary equipment— including the excitation and voltage controls, and the switching equipment for the deperming operation. The construction documents were prepared to include detailed instructions for inspecting and recondition- ing this equipment.

BLAKE GROUP SUPERVISOR PLANNING GROUP Mr. Blake is Supervisor of the Power Division’s Planning Group. The group is responsible for preliminary conceptual schedules, control schedules, and detailed schedules for engineering, procurement, and construction of power generating facilities. The group regularly monitors project progress and reports status, deviations, and per cent complete based upon the earned value concept. In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Blake serves as project planner for two 670 MW coal fueled power plants for Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River Station. His duties included preparation of engineering, procurement, and construction schedules; the development of the project cash flow; analysis of project manpower requirements; and the resulting optimization of both engineering and construction schedules Previous assignments have included planning and scheduling responsibilities on fossil, nuclear, and solar power projects. Mr. Blake’s fossil experience covers 11 coal fueled plants totaling over 7,000 MW in capacity. He has developed techniques for monitoring engineering progress using the earned value concept in conjunction with computerized CPM schedules. Work on fossil and nuclear construction schedules has involved the allocation of construction manpower to schedule activities. The resultant schedules are analyzed and optimized to minimize craft manpower peaks. Mr. Blake has participated in the development of both conceptual and detailed cash flow forecasts. He has also contributed to the development of computer techniques for calculating escalation and interest during construction. Before joining Black & Veatch Mr. Blake served four years as a naval officer in the Civil Engineer Corps. He was also involved with project planning and contract administration duties with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and served as an instructor in Engineering Mechanics at the University of Dayton.

HEDRICK ESTIMATING GROUP SUPERVISOR Mr. Hedrick is supervisor of the Power Division’s estimating group. In this capacity, he is responsible for directing the production of all project estimates for the Division, including development of format, coordination, and actual preparation. Types of estimates prepared include preliminary, definitive, and detailed estimates of total projects, costs for systems or other components, and costs presented by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission accounts. Mr. Hedrick is currently participating in the development of a Black & Veatch project cost analysis system. This system will provide a standard computerized method for handling cost estimates and cost distribution and monitoring requirements for all major projects. Under his direction, standard plant base line estimates are being produced for all major sized units. He is researching methods for improving estimates, and is also in charge of compiling cost information from past and current Power Division projects. His group is tracking wage rates, productivity information, vendor quotations, and escalation. Mr. Hedrick has served as project estimator on many projects, where he assumed the total responsibility for all estimates produced. Prior to joining Black & Veatch, Mr. Hedrick was with the M. W. Kellogg Company for two years and with Chemical Construction Corporation for four years as a field engineer at six different petrochemical construction sites. His duties included supervision of construction crews, cost engineering, project planning, and field inspection. He also was an engineering cooperative student for the Virginia Department of Highways. He was assigned to a survey party, drafting room, and soils laboratory. Virginia Polytechnic Institute, B.S., Civil Engineering, 1965 Joined Black & Veatch: 1971 WORK PLAN SECTION IV-G WORK PLAN I. GENERAL The proposed scope of service is intended to be fully responsive to the requirements of the A.P.A. and the City of Sitka. The plan is consistent with the schedule imposed. II. PLAN The proposed scope of services consists of six tasks which are described below: Task 1) - Survey Sitka energy requirements. A complete survey of the City of Sitka energy requirements and the Methods now being used to meet these requirements will be conducted. The survey will identify daily and seasonal requirements for electricity and heating for residential and non-residential users. The survey will also identify methods now being used for process and space heating as well as assess the current condition of Sitka's electrical system. Task 2) - Survey potential local energy sources. A survey will determine potential local enerby sources. Those sources will include: hydro-power; supplemental fuels such as bio-mass and municipal waste; local fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, and energy conservation op- portunities; advanced sources such as station solar, wind, ocean, thermal, and tidal will be considered only briefly because of the difficulty of integrating any advanced non-controllable source into a system that is not large enough to furnish adequate backup. Similarly, sources such as nuclear, advanced coal conversion, synthetic field development, etc., will not be considered in detail as they are not pratical for a small system. For each poten- tial source the capital cost for exploration, the de- rived fuel cost, the environmental impact, and the de- velopment effort will be determined. Task 3) - Energy forecast. An energy balance will be developed. The user part of this balance will be extended for the evaluation period. The user forecast will include conser- vation opportunities. : Task 4) - Develop and assess alternatives. Based on the forecast of energy needs, a set of alternatives will be tr developed and assessed. Consistent with the study sche- A dule and the realities of the Sitka location the al- rn pQM ternatives will be limited to the following: ly \ ee 1) Continue to use smal] diesels with ) existing hydro-power for electricity a and let individuals continue current space heatng methods. This is a "do nothing" alternative which will serve as a base case for comparison. 2) Centralize district heating using / oil with supplemental boiler fueled A-7 by local biomass, local coal, etc. en: Electricity provided by diesels and we existing hydro-power. 3) Same as alternative 2, but electric system includes new hydro-power. 4) Electrical expansion with hydro- power and combustion turbines. Combustion turbine exhaust used to heat recovery boiler for centralized district heating. 5) Centralized district heating boilers with progeneration of electricity. Bal- ance of electricity provided by diesels, combustion turbines and hydro-power. 6) Electrical system expands with central station steam turbines using multi-fuel boiler systems capable of coal bio-mass Or municipal waste burning. The system will co-generate steam for processing heat users in the summer, such as local canning industries, and district heat- ing in the winter. This set of alternatives thus includes a "do nothing" case, two cases in which heating and electricity are kept seperate, and three cases which combine electrical production and heat production. Each alter- native will be assessed for its impact on the energy balance and the profile will contain information listed under B.4, Scope of Services. The local siting impacts, environmental impacts and the cost of local resources will be developed. Task 5) - Meetings. Consistent with the need for local participation Task 6) and review, two formal meetings are included in the work plan.. The first meeting could be held after the local survey was ~ completed. The meeting will review the results of that survey and present the selected alternatives for study. Local input will be used to modify the alternatives and to shape the forecast of energy requirements. The second meeting will present the results of the reporting especially the assessment of the alternatives. This meeting would me sometime in February, 1981, following the submittal of the draft report. Reports. A draft final report will be submitted by 15th of February 1981. Following the Public Review meeting a final report will be prepared in seventy-five copies.
