Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 27 / Friday, February 9, 2007 / Notices
Alternatives assessed in detail include
the: (1) No Action Alternative; (2)
Proposed Action (construction/
operation of the HGS at the Salem site
eight miles east of Great Falls, and (3)
Industrial Park Site (construction/
operation of the power plant, but no
wind generation, at an alternate site in
a designated industrial park just north
of Great Falls). The No Action
Alternative avoids most direct adverse
environmental effects, but potentially
entails a number of indirect and
cumulative impacts associated with
other generation sources from which
SME would have to purchase power if
unable to generate its own. In most
respects, with the exception of cultural
and historic resources, impacts from the
Proposed Action (2) and Alternative Site
(3) are similar, though the proximity of
the Alternative Site to greater numbers
of residents intensifies some of these
impacts, such as traffic, noise, and air
quality; nonetheless, these impacts
would not likely be significant.
Potential air quality impacts at both
locations would be reduced to nonsignificant levels through the
application of CFB technology and other
pollution controls. The proposed plant
would comply with Montana’s air
quality standards, including its recent
mercury rule. The agency’s preferred
alternative is Alternative 2.
The FEIS concludes that the Proposed
Action would have significant adverse
impacts on historic and visual
resources, because it is located on and
adjacent to the Great Falls Portage
National Historic Landmark (NHL). In
accordance with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act,
consultation was initiated with a
number of consulting parties and a
consulting party meeting was held in
Great Falls on October 5 to discuss RUS’
adverse effect finding. The results of
those discussions are integrated in the
FEIS, including a draft Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) that proposes on-site
and off-site mitigation measures to
avoid and minimize these effects.
Potentially significant impacts to traffic
during construction were also identified
with Alternative 2; a mitigation plan
would be developed in cooperation with
the Montana Department of
Transportation to minimize or mitigate
these impacts. Other adverse but nonsignificant impacts of the Proposed
Action include those on soils, water, air,
biological resources, noise,
transportation, farmland and land use,
human health and safety, and
environmental justice. The Proposed
Action would result in moderately
beneficial socioeconomic impacts,

including increased employment
opportunities, total purchases of goods
and services, and an increase in the tax
base.
Construction and operation of the
proposed power plant at the Alternative
Industrial Park Site would result in
broadly similar impacts to those of the
Proposed Action, but with some
important distinctions. No wind
turbines are proposed for the Industrial
Park site. Due to space limitations at the
Industrial Park site, ash from coal
combustion would be hauled off-site to
a licensed landfill for disposal. Adverse
but non-significant impacts of the
Alternative Site include those on soils,
water, air, biological resources, noise,
cultural and historic resources, visual
resources, transportation, farmland and
land use, human health and safety, and
environmental justice. Building and
operating the proposed SME power
plant at the Alternative Site would
produce moderately beneficial
socioeconomic impacts, including
increased employment opportunities,
total purchases of goods and services,
and an increase in the tax base.
