  1. NSSEP: Power and Jobs for Vermont Project Update Springfield High School August 16, 2012

  2. NSSEP: Power and Jobs for the Precision Valley RECAP: The North Springfield Sustainable Energy Project • 25 to 35 MW wood-fired cogeneration plant to be located in the North Springfield Industrial Park adjacent to 36 Precision Drive • Will generate renewable electricity for the region and hot water for business park businesses and local residents

  3. SITE

  4. Update • Since February the NSSEP team has: • Continued our community outreach • Made several design modifications in response to community • concerns and agency input

  5. Modifications  Air cooled condenser system: reduces water usage from 500,00+ gallons to less than 30,000 gallons, reduces Underground Injection Control System leach field; and does not result in a vapor plume Water Usage: reduced water requirements eliminates need for wells; water captured from rainwater harvesting, fire protection and municipal purchase will be stored in 750,000 gallon Davidson Hill Tank  Wood Chip Fuel Shelter: reduces dust and particle transport from the site, keeps fuel dry to increase boiler efficiency, improves aesthetics of site  Sustainable Forestry: Revamping harvesting policy in close coordination with AAFM and ANR to focus on NSSEP’s procurement power to elicit compliance

  6. Additions  Jumpstarting Community District Heating: will extend the “heat loop” with the Industrial Park to allow residents to tap in; hot water will be donated to approximately 100  Wood Stove Change-out: Using the EPA and American Lung Association model, NSSEP will provide $350,000 to fund the replacement of up to 100 inefficient residential wood stoves thereby reducing the release of up to 4 tons of fine particle pollutants every year; reducing indoor particle emissions by up to 70%.

  7. Our Mission NSSEP was initially conceived because no other renewable energy technology could support the State’s energy plan while providing significant long-term economic stimulus. NSSEP continues to develop this project by listeningand investingin the Community to: • Generate renewable power for Vermont in a manner consistent with the state’s energy plan and using natural resources in a sustainable manner • Provide significant economic benefit through job creation, tax generation and business attraction
