The location of the plant near the mouth of a canyon was <br /> <br />believed to offer some advantages in maintaining air qual- <br /> <br />ity because of the natural air movement, a condition <br /> <br />which the Company had observed in other of its plant <br /> <br />locations. (Note: This is yet to be substantiated by <br /> <br />further meteorological studies.) <br /> <br />2. The coal conveyance system, reserve coal pile, and ash dis- <br /> <br />posal area do not intrude excessively on the environment. <br /> <br />These features are not visible from the present roads or <br /> <br />the plant site. <br /> <br />3. The noute of the transmission line could be located to conr <br /> <br />ply with environmental standards of agencies administering <br /> <br />the land on which the transmission line was to be con- <br /> <br />structed. <br /> <br />4. The water supply facilities could be constructed and oper- <br /> <br />ated to minimize adverse effects, and in some respects to <br /> <br />enhance fishing and recreational values. <br /> <br />5. The plant would be a boost to the economy of a sparsely <br /> <br />settled county with a small tax base. <br /> <br />6. The economics of the Huntington Canyon site were favorable, <br /> <br />and the plant would fit well into the utility's overall <br /> <br />system. <br /> <br />5 <br />
