An additional $121.8 million would be <br />required for the 1993-94 expansion to 15 million tons per year.. Detailed <br />financial analyses for the salinity control projects will be performed <br />during 1985 as studies and planning, progress. Aquatrain, Inc., is now <br />seeking letters of intent from other firms for private capital to finance <br />the project and is pursuing supply and market commitments for coal and car- <br />bon dioxide. <br /> <br />Scheduled to begin in 1985 are design and construction of a demonstration <br />facility to confirm the liquid carbon dioxide transport technology. The <br />feasibility of this technology has been established by a small pilot test <br />loop, and a commercial-size demonstration system is needed to obtain <br />design, operation, and maintenance data. The facility will be sited at an <br />existing powerplant, and discussions have been initiated to determine <br />possible cooperation on the facility. <br /> <br />Activities needed to prepare the environmental impact statement, satisfy <br />all National Environmental Policy Act requirements, and obtain Federal and <br />state permits will be done in parallel and are scheduled to run from January <br />1985 through December 1986. The open planning process will continue to <br />be used in formulating the projects to identify and address the concerns of <br />the public and special interest groups. <br /> <br />2 <br />
