When completed (one unit in 1974; one in 1975; and one in 1976) <br /> <br /> <br />the three generators will have a total net capacity of 2,310,000 kilowatts. <br />Bechtel Corporation is the engineer-contractor who will build the plant. <br /> <br />When in full operation the three units will burn 23,000 tons of coal each <br /> <br />day and use up to 34,100 acre-feet of Lake Powell water per year for <br /> <br />cooling and other purposes. Air pollution control equipment is required <br /> <br />to have a design capacity to remove 99.5 percent of the particulate matter <br /> <br />from stack emissions. Space will be provided for installation of equip- <br />ment for the removal of oxides of sulphur when such equipment becomes <br />available. <br />An Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared and circulated <br /> <br />for comment by interested agencies and individuals. A revised draft <br /> <br />repeating the comments was transmitted to the Commissioner on January 29, <br /> <br />1971, for his further action. <br /> <br />Four Corners Plant <br /> <br />Contracts have been executed between the Secretary of the Interior <br /> <br />and the companies operating Units I, 2, and 3 of the Four Corners Plant <br /> <br />and the owners of the San Juan Plant being constructed nearby which <br /> <br />require them to install air pollution control equipment. Arizona Public <br /> <br />Service Company has employed Chemico Construction Company to design and <br /> <br />manufacture Venturi wet scrubbers for the removal of 99.2 percent of <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />
