Notice of Cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement for the 
McIntosh Unit 4 Pressurized Circulating Fluidized Bed Demonstration 
Project

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement 
Process.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is canceling the preparation of 
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposal by the City of 
Lakeland to design, construct, and operate a project known as the 
McIntosh Unit 4 Pressurized Circulating Fluidized Bed Demonstration 
Project in Lakeland, Florida. DOE selected the City of Lakeland's 
proposal for further consideration under DOE's Clean Coal Technology 
Demonstration Program competitive solicitation. The City of Lakeland 
proposed constructing the demonstration project at the site of the 
existing C.D. McIntosh Junior Power Plant along the northeastern shore 
of Lake Parker. The proposed project was intended to demonstrate 
advanced circulating fluidized bed combustion technologies using a 
variety of low and high sulfur coal to produce electricity. DOE 
published a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the proposal in the 
Federal Register on March 26, 1999 (64 FR 14710), and conducted a 
public scoping meeting in the City of Lakeland's City Commission 
Chambers on April 13, 1999. The proposed project has been discontinued. 
As a result, DOE is canceling the EIS process.
