Power Plant Permitting

by Harold A. Frediani, Kimberly Masters Evans

This practical how-to guide on the ins and outs of the power plant permitting process consolidates information about all the permitting studies required (air, stormwater, waste, sociopolitical, etc.) into one source, using real-life examples to illustrate points. The specific details of the environmental requirements vary by locality, however, the overall scope of the process is site selection, baseline characterization, systems analysis, impacts of construction and operation, and design alternatives. An overview of the elements required by regulatory agencies is provided to guide you through the government jargon. Each step is examined in detail, the applicable regulatory criteria are summarized, and successful permitting strategies are reported.
