Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
Project Preliminary Staff Assessment/
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(PSA/DEIS) (DOE/EIS–0431D) for public
review and comment. This document is
the draft environmental impact
statement for DOE’s purpose of
complying with the National

Assessment/Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (PSA/DEIS). The PSA/DEIS
analyzes the potential environmental
impacts associated with the Hydrogen
Energy California’s (HECA) Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle Project,
which would be designed, constructed,
and operated by HECA, LLC. HECA’s
proposal was selected by DOE for
financial assistance under the Clean
Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) Program.
The PSA/DEIS was prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the
Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) regulations that implement the
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
Parts 1500–1508), DOE’s procedures for
compliance with floodplain and
wetland review requirements (10 CFR
Part 1022), and DOE’s procedures
implementing NEPA (10 CFR Part 1021).
DOE’s proposed action is subject to the
Clean Air Act’s General Conformity rule
(GCR) set forth in section 176(c) of the
Act and 40 CFR Part 93. DOE’s Draft
General Conformity Analysis is
incorporated into the PSA/DEIS. DOE is
coordinating its compliance with the
GCR requirements for public
participation in 40 CFR 93.156 with the
public comment period for the PSA/
DEIS.
DATES: DOE invites the public to
comment on the PSA/DEIS during the
public comment period, which ends
September 3, 2013. DOE will consider
all comments postmarked or received
during the public comment period in
preparing the final EIS and will
consider late comments to the extent
practicable.
DOE and CEC will hold a public
hearing(s) during the public comment
period. The date(s), time(s), and
location(s) of these public hearings will
be published in The Bakersfield
Californian at least 14 days prior to the
hearing(s). This information will also be
posted on CEC’s Web site at http://
www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/
hydrogen_energy/.
ADDRESSES: Requests for a paper copy or
information about this PSA/DEIS should
be directed to: Mr. Fred Pozzuto, U.S.
Department of Energy, National Energy
Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins
Ferry Road, P.O. Box 880, Morgantown,

regarding DOE NEPA process, please
contact: Ms. Carol M. Borgstrom,
Director, Office of NEPA Policy and
Compliance (GC–54), U.S. Department

telephone: (202)–586–4600.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
proposes to provide limited financial
assistance through a cooperative
agreement to HECA, LLC.
Approximately $275 million would be
provided through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
and $133 million through the Clean
Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) program for
a total Federal share of approximately
$408 million. Total project cost is
estimated to be over $4 billion.
The HECA project would demonstrate
integrated gasification combined cycle
(IGCC) and carbon capture technology
on a commercial-scale in a new power
plant. The power plant would consist of
a single gasifier with gas cleanup
systems, a gas combustion turbine, a
heat recovery steam generator, a steam
turbine, and associated facilities.
The IGCC technology would turn a
fuel blend consisting of 75 percent
western sub-bituminous coal and 25
percent petroleum coke (petcoke) into a
synthesis gas (syngas). The facility
would gasify the fuel blend to produce
hydrogen-rich syngas which would be
used to generate electricity in a
combined cycle power block;
manufacture nitrogen-based products in
an integrated fertilizer manufacturing
complex; and capture and transport
carbon dioxide (CO2) via pipeline to a
neighboring oil field for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) and sequestration. At
full capacity, the plant is expected to
use about 4,600 short tons of coal and
about 1,140 short tons of petcoke per
day.
The combined power block consists of
gas combustion and steam turbines that
would have the capacity to generate
416-megawatts (gross) of low-carbon
electricity. This combined-cycle
approach of using gas and steam
turbines in tandem increases the
