below ground containing one reversible
pump turbine with a total installed
generating capacity of 250 MW; (6) a
transformer hall; (7) a lower reservoir
with a storage capacity of 4,200 to 5,000
acre-feet; (8) a ventilation shaft and
ventilation building at the northern end
of the lower reservoir; and (9) various
ancillary access shafts and tunnels. The
proposed Stage 3 would generate over
500 gigawatt-hours per year.
(d) Stage 4 would be a separate
development with identical features as
of Stage 3, including the following: (1)
The lower reservoir utilized in Stage 2,
located 1,700 feet below the ground
surface, would serve as the upper
reservoir in Stage 4 and would have a
total storage capacity of 4,000 to 5,000
acre-feet. The upper reservoir would be
filled with water pumped out of the
Mount Hope Mine Complex and have a
normal maximum water surface
elevation at 1,600 feet below the ground
surface. The Mount Hope inactive mine
would provide access to the lower
reservoir located at 2,500 feet below the
ground surface; (2) a reinforced concrete
intake/outlet structure capable of
discharging 1,500 cfs; (3) a 10-footdiameter, 1,100-foot-long reinforced
concrete vertical intake shaft; (4) an 8foot-diameter underground penstock; (5)
a powerhouse approximately 2,800 feet
below ground containing a reversible
pump turbine with a total installed
generating capacity of 250 MW; (6) a
transformer hall; (7) a lower reservoir
which consist of the lower reservoir of
Stage 3; (8) a ventilation shaft and
ventilation building at the northern end
of the lower reservoir; and (9) various
ancillary access shafts and tunnels. The
proposed Stage 4 would generate over
500 gigawatt-hours per year.
The total rated capacity of the
turbines and generators of the project is
1,000 MW. Upon completion, the
proposed project would generate over
2,000 gigawatt-hours annually. The
proposed project would also include
two parallel 10.60-mile-long, 500kilovolt transmission lines
interconnecting with the proposed
Jefferson Substation, located
approximately 5.3 miles northnorthwest of Mt. Hope Lake. The
transmission line right-of-way would
parallel an existing transmission line
owned by Public Services Electric and
Gas Company for 4.3 miles and would
traverse mostly undeveloped forest
lands, two lakes and five streams. The
primary transmission line of the
proposed project would be located in
part on federal land. Specifically, the
transmission line would traverse a
portion of the northern and eastern edge

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The SAB was
established pursuant to the
Environmental Research, Development,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:22 May 20, 2011
Jkt 223001
and Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to
provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby
given that the SAB Mercury Review
Panel will hold a public meeting to
review EPA’s Technical Support
Document: National-Scale Mercury Risk
Assessment Supporting the Appropriate
and Necessary Finding for Coal and OilFired Electric Generating Units—March
2011. The Panel will comply with the
provisions of FACA and all appropriate
SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation has
requested peer review of the March
2011 draft risk assessment for mercury,
entitled Technical Support Document:
National-Scale Mercury Risk
Assessment Supporting the Appropriate
and Necessary Finding for Coal and OilFired Electric Generating Units—March
2011. This technical document was
developed to support a proposed rule
concerning regulation of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs) released from coalburning electric generating units in the
United States (U.S. EGUs) under Section
112(n)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
This regulation may potentially use a
Maximally Achievable Control Device
(MACT) approach to set a technologybased standard for reducing HAP
emissions.
The SAB announced this peer review
and requests for public nomination of
experts to serve on an ad hoc review
panel on February 28, 2011 (76 FR
10896–10897) and March 30, 2011 (76
FR 17649–17650). Information about

Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s federal advisory committees and
panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office.
Federal advisory committees and
panels, including scientific advisory
committees, provide independent
advice to EPA. Members of the public
can submit comments for a federal
advisory committee to consider as it
develops advice for EPA. Input from the
public to the SAB will have the most
impact if it provides specific scientific
or technical information or analysis for
SAB panels to consider or if it relates to
the clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public
wishing to provide comment should
contact the Designated Federal Officer
for the relevant advisory committee
directly. Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at this public meeting will
be limited to five minutes per speaker.
Interested parties should contact Dr.
Angela Nugent, DFO, in writing
(preferably via e-mail), at the contact
information noted above, by June 10,
2011 to be placed on the list of public
speakers for the meeting.
Written Statements: Written
statements should be received in the
SAB Staff Office by June 10, 2011 so
that the information may be made
available to the Panel for their
consideration. Written statements
should be supplied to the DFO in
electronic format via e-mail (acceptable
file formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF,
WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint,
or Rich Text files in IBM–PC/Windows
98/2000/XP format). It is the SAB Staff
Office general policy to post written
comments on the Web page for the
advisory meeting or teleconference.
Submitters are requested to provide an
unsigned version of each document
because the SAB Staff Office does not
publish documents with signatures on
its Web sites. Members of the public
should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any
written comments, may be posted to the
SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will
not be posted without explicit
permission of the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Angela
Nugent at the phone number or e-mail
address noted above, preferably at least
ten days prior to the meeting, to give
