22-1 Ammonia

Under the water plan, is it correct that ammonia deliveries increased from 2 per month to 15 per month, or a 13 truckload per month delivery? That equals 26 new trips to and from the site. Please explain the reasons for the increase and the details.

The amount of ammonia anticipated to support the Clear River Energy Center (CREC or Project or Facility) did not change from the May 2016 Traffic Impact Study to the revised Water Supply Plan, filed with the Energy Facility Siting Board (EFSB or Board) on July 11, 2017 (Water Supply Plan or revised Water Supply Plan).  However, during a comprehensive review of the trucking option for the Water Supply Plan, Invenergy Thermal Development LLC (“Invenergy”) noticed that the assumptions in the May 2016 Traffic Impact Study regarding the number of ammonia deliveries were not correct.  The traffic analysis submitted as Appendix E of the revised Water Supply Plan corrected the number of ammonia trucks to approximately 15 per month and confirmed that “the traffic impacts are still minimal.”
