DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for a
Proposed Federal Loan Guarantee to
Support the Construction and Startup
of the Medicine Bow Fuel & Power
Coal-to-Liquid Facility in Carbon
County, WY
Department of Energy.
Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement and
Conduct a Public Scoping Meeting, and
Notice of Proposed Floodplain and
Wetlands Involvement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) announces its intent to
prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and the DOE
NEPA implementing procedures (10
CFR part 1021) to assess the potential
environmental impacts for its proposed
action of issuing a Federal loan
guarantee to Medicine Bow Fuel &
Power LLC (MBFP) (DOE/EIS–0432).
MBFP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
DKRW Advanced Fuels LLC, submitted
an application to DOE under the Federal
loan guarantee program pursuant to the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005)
to support the construction and startup
of the MBFP coal-to-liquids (CTL)
facility, a coal mine and associated coal
handling facilities in Carbon County,
Wyoming (the Facility).

MBFP proposes to develop the
Facility in eastern Carbon County north
of I–80 between Rawlins and Laramie,
Wyoming. The CTL facility and coalhandling facility would be located near
the mouth of the Saddleback Hills Mine,
located approximately 6 miles northeast
of the Town of Elk Mountain and
approximately 13 miles southwest of the
Town of Medicine Bow. The CTL
facility would use an advanced
industrial gasification and liquefaction
(IGL) process to convert coal into
approximately 21,000 barrels per day
(bpd) of low-sulfur, low-benzene regular
gasoline. The Facility would capture at
least 50 percent of the CO2 and over 99
percent of the sulfur compounds that
would be otherwise be emitted. The CO2
stream would be compressed and
delivered at the fenceline to another
party for pipeline transportation to
enhanced oil recovery operations and
geologic storage at a location to be
determined by the offtaker.
The EIS will evaluate the potential
impacts of the issuance of a DOE Loan
Guarantee for MBFP’s proposed project
and reasonable alternatives.
The purpose of this Notice of Intent
is to inform the public about DOE’s
proposed action, invite public
participation in the EIS process,
announce plans for a public scoping
meeting, solicit public comments for
consideration in establishing the scope
and content of the EIS, and provide
notice of proposed floodplain and
wetlands involvement. DOE invites
those agencies with jurisdiction by law
or special expertise to be cooperating
agencies. The Bureau of Land
Management has expressed interest in
becoming a cooperating agency for this
EIS.
DATES: To ensure that all of the potential
environmental issues related to this
proposal are addressed, DOE invites
comments on the proposed scope and
content of the EIS from all interested
parties. Comments must be postmarked
or e-mailed by December 28, 2009 to
ensure consideration. Late comments
will be considered to the extent
practicable. In addition to receiving
written comments (see ADDRESSES
below), DOE will conduct a public
scoping meeting in the vicinity of the
proposed project at which government
agencies, private-sector organizations,
and the general public are invited to
provide comments or suggestions with
regard to the alternatives and potential
impacts to be considered in the EIS.
Further details about the public scoping
meeting will be announced through
local news media and on the DOE Loan
Guarantee Program Office Web site
