I. Project Description

The Astoria Generating Company, L.P. (AGC), a USPowerGen (U5PG) Company, is proposing to update

the Astoria Generating Station (AGS) with the addition of approximately 500 to 750 megawatts (MW) of

new, cleaner, state-of-the-art, combined cycle, electric generation while reducing the actual netemissions of the entire facility (inclusive of the new equipment). Emissions reductions will be done byimplementing enforceable permit limits at the existing AGS. As currently envisioned, depending onmarket conditions, the Project may be constructed in two phases of 250 to 375 MW or a single phase of

500 to 750MW.

BACKGROUND

The existing AGS units are located on approximately 17 acres at 18-01 20th Avenue in Astoria, Queens

New York. They consist of three dual fueled (natural gas and No.6 oil) units, one natural gas unit, and a

small emergency combustion turbine with a total capacity of approximately 1,300 MW. The location of

the LCEP is at the AGS Fuel Oil Tank Farm (FOTF) on an adjacent parcel of approximately 12 acres that is

1,600 feet to the northeast of the existing units. The new combined cycle unit(s) would occupy

approximately 7.5 acres on this parcel. A new above ground fuel oil tank would also be constructed on

the fuel oil storage depot parcel for the storage of ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD). Currently there is

approximately 8 million gallons of No.6 oil storage at this site in four tanks for the existing boilers at

AGS. Fuel is currently delivered by barge to the tanks from the adjacent A-I0 dock. The existing AGS

units are currently utifized to meet electric demand and maintain the electric grid stability. The new LCEP

will cause the older AGS units, as well as other less efficient plants in New York City, to run less while

allowing the newer, cleaner units to meet the continually growing electric demand within the City.

AGC believes that a coordinated improvement of the AGS by the addition of new cleaner technology is

the most beneficial way to plan for the increasing load requirements of the City and the eventual

retirement of older generating units, while reducing the environmental impacts of the existing units and

other displaced facilities. Therefore, operation of the LCEP will result in significant environmental benefits

and improve system reliability. The Project will also advance and is consistent with the goals set forth in

the Draft State Energy Plan with respect to assuring system reliability, replacement of older capacity,

greenhouse gas reductions, reduced electric costs and environmental improvements.

AGC evaluated several improvement opportunities including enhancing or replacing the existing

equipment to achieve the goals of increased capacity with decreased environmental effects. In fact, a

repowering of the facility was permitted under the Article X process in 2003. When USPG acquired AGe,

it performed a technical and commercial review of the approved repowering project and determined that

it was uneconomic to build the Project as proposed by the previous owners. AGC then commissioned an

engineering firm to evaluate the feasibility of locating additional capacity close by the existing AGS units

in a systematic phased approach to eliminate the features that made the approved project infeasible.

Potential areas for new equipment were identified. Layouts of the maximum capacity that could fit on the

locations were determined. The primary items that were to be optimized in a modified project were the

avoidance of potential aquatic impacts, reduction of interference with existing operations, and

minimization of other environmental concerns such as visual impact and water use. Ultimately, however,

it was determined that a modified project close by the existing AGS units could not avoid interfering with

existing utility infrastructure and would still require significant remediation and demolition. During

demolition and construction activities, existing AGS units would have to be taken off line for substantial

USPOWERGENLuyster Creek Energy Project Public Participotion Pion

periods, with the resultant loss of revenue. In addition, a modified project was thought to be asignificant enough departure from the approved project that a new permitting process would have to be

started. These conditions resulted in the inability to develop an economic project in the same footprint

approved for the project.

Once it was clear that an economic option was not viable dose by the existing AGS units, AGe lookedmore broadly to determine if a project could be developed in another location that avoided thefundamental issues that were detrimental to development at the original location. That led to theadjacent AGS FOTF. This site is currently in use for oil storage and houses several retired above ground

storage tanks. Use of this site for the LCEP avoids removal of existing generation during the construction

period, reduces the demolition and remediation costs compared to the original concepts and allows for a

two phased build out if the market dictates.

As a result of the AGC evaluation, the following Project parameters have been determined:

1. The optimum location is FOTF parcel northeast of the existing AGS units.

2. Use of Siemens SCC6-S000F, GE Frame 7, or Mitsubishi SOlG combustion turbines in either a lx1 or

2X1 configuration, based on market conditions, with air cooled condensers and the lowest stack

heights possible to achieve ambient air quality standards.

see attached Figures 1 and 2.

THE pROJECT

New York City requires a significant amount of generation be located in the City for system reliability. The

existing AGS units are older, tess effident units that are used for reliability and high load days.

Displacement of the older units with new higher efficiency units will provide a tremendous environmental

benefit. In addition to the environmental benefit, the cost of production of electricity would be reduced

due to the higher efficiency of the new unit(s). Load profiles and existing capacity resources in the City

require that NYC have additional qUick start and intermediate load generation capability to meet demand.

The LCEP will be designed to start up and shut down quickly and have greater operational flexibility than

the standard combined cycle facilities currently installed in the Oty. This flexibility will reduce emissions

during startup and allow the LCEP to be shut down if there are more economical sources rather than

operate during uneconomic periods.

The LCEP consists of two distinct components: the installation of new combined cycle combustion

turbine(s) and an emissions reduction strategy for the existing AGS. The improvement will be built on the

FOTF parcel adjacent to the existing AGS within an area zoned for heavy manufactUring (industrial) use

(M3-1). The new combustion turbines will be dual fuel-capable and bum natural gas as a primary fuel

and ULSD as backup fuel to be used for up to approximately 30 days annually which will require the

addition of a new oil storage tank.

Installation of the new units is being approached in a phased manner. Phase 1 will consist of the

installation of a single new 250 to 375 MW combined cycle unit to be operational to meet the anticipated

need for capacity in 2014. The potential emissions from this unit will be offset by the retirement of

Page 2

January 2010

existing Unit 2 and an enforceable permit limitation on the remaining units (3, 4, and/or 5) effective upon

commercial operation of the new unit. The reductions from the existing units plus the potential emission

from the new unit will result in an overall net reduction of emissions. Phase 2 would include the addition

of a second, new 250 to 375 MW combined cycle unit or another combustion turbine to operate with the

phase 1 combined cycle unit, enforceable permit limitation on the remaining existing unit (3, 4, and/or 5)

and/or shut down of another unit effective upon commercial operation of the new unit. The reductions

and/or retirement of Unit 5, plus the emissions from the second new unit will result in an overall net

reduction.

Market conditions may dictate that the amount of new capacity required in the timeframe, could require

the entire 500 to 750 MW be build as one phase, In this case, one 500 to 750 MW combined cycle unit

would be constructed. Effective upon commercial operation of the new unit, Unit 2 would be retired and

enforceable permit limits and/or retirement of the remaining existing units would be completed such that

the potential emissions from the new unit and remaining existing units will result in an overall net

reduction.

All of Queens County, NY, including the AGS, is located in a nonattainment area for ozone (03) and

particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.s). The United States Environmental Protection

Agency defines nonattainment areas as regions in which air pollution levels persistently exceed National

Ambient Air Quality Standards. The LCEP will not trigger review under Prevention of Significant

Deterioration or Nonattainment New Source Review regulations because AGC will commit to enforceable

permit restrictions that limit new emissions to levels below significant increase thresholds.

Benefits of the Project are that it will provide additional cleaner electric generation while reducing the

actual net emissions for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) including

PM less than 10 microns (PM lO), particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.s), and sulfur

oxides (SOx), which is a precursor to PM2,s formation. NO.: is also a precursor to ozone formation. It will

also result in a decrease in carbon dioxide (C02), a greenhouse gas. Potential emissions resulting from

the additional generating capacity will be offset by implementing the strategies described below. These

actions will fully address community concerns and ensure that air emissions will be reduced by a

combination of methods that may include but are not limited to:

1. Use high efficiency, low emission combined cycle combustion turbines for the Project.

2, Permit caps on the total emissions from the new combined cycle equipment.

3. Permit caps on the total emissions from the existing AGS units.

4. Shut down of existing units.

5. Permit cap on sulfur content of the oil for the Project.

6. The new combined cycle unites) will employ air cooling and result in a reduction in cooling water use

by the existing AGS units,

AGe will be electrically interconnecting into the grid via existing connections from the rnrrent units. As

such, the new unit interconnection should be easily achievable.

Though no significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of the Project, AGe will

prepare and submit a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (OBS) in order to fully address potential

community concerns, including environmental justice issues. The DEIS will also include an alternatives

analysis.

II. Other AGe Assets within the Community

Currently, AGe owns three electric generating facilities within the confines of New York City including the

AGS, the Narrows Generating Station (NGS, located In the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn), and the

Gowanus Generating Station (GGS, located in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn). The South Pier

Improvement Project at the GGS which will add 100 MW of new efficient generation was recently

(October 21, 2009) approved and permitted by the NYSDEC. This new facility will result in a net

decrease of all air emissions in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn, resulting in environmental

improvements to the community. The emission reduction strategy under consideration or the LCEP Is

based on the successful SPIP model.

In accordance with Commissioner Policy 29 (CP-29) of the NYSDEC, the sections that follow outline the

steps that AGe will undertake to inform the local community and the broader public about the Project and

to invite vigorous partidpation in the permitting and environmental review processes.

RELEVANT GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT

The existing AGS units and the lCEP are located in an area NYSDEC has identified as a Potential

Environmental Justice Area (PEJA). Therefore, AGC has reviewed the CP·29 guidelines in preparing a

proactive, enhanced program for engaging community organizations and residents in the Astoria, Queens

area. The Project location is shown below.

VI. Public Briefings and Dialogues

The meetings described below capture only the more structured elements of Public Participation. AGe

anticipates a dynamic process that will indude additional meetings as circumstances dictate, thedevelopment of working groups for specific tasks if necessary, and informal meetings with individual

stakeholders or 5ubgroupings of community representatives. AGe's primary representative will stand

ready to respond to questions and concerns on an ongoing basis. To the maximum extent, formal and

informal engagement with the community will be documented and included in reporting.

1. Formal Briefing Prior to State Environmental Quality Review (SERR) Scoping Meeting

Date - To be Determined

AGe will hold a formal briefing on its plans for the LCEP with elected officials and key Stakeholders

with a role in protecting the local environment. Participants will be asked to review and comment on

the draft list of Stakeholders (Appendix A) and on the public outreach process proposed in this

document. 1he further meetings below represent major milestones in the SEQR process.

Partidpants in this initial briefing will be asked to consider whether any additional forum or

representative working group would be helpful. The outreach process wilt be updated based upon

their comments.

In addition, stakeholders will be invited to tour the Project site for a direct experience of the existing

AGS units and the location and impact of the state of the art generators.

2. Public Meeting 1; SEaR 5copjng Process


Representatives of AGC will present in detail the plans for the LCEP and outline the anticipated

impacts on local energy systems and the environment. They will also review in detail the SEQR

process and the permitting schedule. The meeting will provide an opportunity for community

organizations to discuss impacts of the lCEP on their constituents among the diverse array of

Astoria's religious, social and ethnic groups. The SEQR scoping process establishes the

environmental issues that the DEIS will focus on, the methodology to be used, and the parameters

for study of alternatives and mitigation strategies. While the lead agency will circulate the scope for

public comment, this first public meeting will provide a formal vehicle for discussion and gathering of

public input that will shape the scope of the EIS.

Stakeholders will also to comment on AGe's plans for further public outreach. Following the meeting,

the outreach plan will be revised to reflect stakeholder input. Once finalized, the final DEIS scope will

be drculated to Stakeholders. AGC may invite the key stakeholders to play an active role in later

public outreach meetings.

A draft scope will be circulated in advance of the public meeting as discussed in section IV above.

3. public Meeting 2: Draft EIS


Page 8


January 2010

AGe will hold a meeting to discuss the results of the DEIS for the lCEP, The DEIS will be shared in

advance of the meeting, as well as fact sheets translated into predominant neighborhood languages

conveying the results in summary form.

At the meeting representatives of AGe will give a presentation that conveys the results of the DEIS in

a concise format. Participating stakeholders will be divided into break-out groups for facilitated small

group discussion. At the end of the meeting, output from small discussion groups will be shared in

summary form with the full assembly of participants.

As discussed above, each of these meetings may be preceded or followed by additional informal meetings

with key stakeholders in person and via teleconference. These outreach efforts will be documented and

included in reporting.

VII. Document Repositories

Full documentation, covering every public document produced for the LCEP and transcripts of pubHc

briefings, will be stored at the public libraries located the Queens Borough Public Library, 89-11 Merrick

Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11432 and the Queens Borough Branch Library Astoria Branch, 14-01 Astoria

Boulevard, Long Island City, NY 11101. The same materials will be made available on the AGC website

(www.USPowerGen.com). Stakeholders, as well as other interested parties, will be encouraged to store

in the same locations any documents they produce pertaining to the permitting of the LCEP so that the

repositories include documentation of the full public dialogue.

VIII. Progress Reports

AGC anticipates written updates to the Lead Agency monthly or bi-monthly. The reports will include any

public documents produced during the previous period, transcripts of any formal public meetings,

descriptions of other outreach activities, and any other work completed in the permitting process. The

progress reports without the bulky attachments will be mailed to stakeholders via email or US mail, as

preferred. The progress reports with all attachments will be posted on the AGC website and placed in the

repositories.

IX. Final Report

Upon receipt of the permit, AGC will prepare a final report on public participation in the permitting

process with the full record of documents produced for the process and transcripts of meetings included
