RESOLUTION:

WHEREAS, the City of Salem has supported the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) stricter emission standards for the Salem Harbor Power Plant and their (DEP’s) preliminary decision to grant a 2006 compliance date,

WHEREAS,        on February 6, 2003, Governor Mitt Romney announced that DEP had changed its preliminary decision for the Salem Harbor Power Plant to meet the new emission standards from 2006 to an earlier date of 2004, and

WHEREAS,        the Salem Harbor Power Plant, is the City’s largest tax paying entity providing $6.7 million in tax revenues in the current fiscal year, as well as providing over 150 jobs for residents of Salem and surrounding communities, and

WHEREAS, PG&E and/or their successor, is poised to expend approximately $100 million dollars at the Salem Harbor Power Plant in order to comply with Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) emission standards, which are considered to be the strictest emission standards in the nation, and

WHEREAS, in order to complete these renovations, the plant must undertake both a state (DEP) and local permitting process prior to construction that will likely require petitions before the City’s Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, and Conservation Commission, and

WHEREAS, the timeframe for completing these renovations is impacted by the length of time necessary to obtain state and local permits, and

WHEREAS,        the decision requiring the plant to comply with a 2004 deadline was made with little or no input from either the Mayor or the City Council regarding alternative solutions to mitigate the employment and financial impact to the City of Salem, and

WHEREAS,        this revised deadline has a major impact on PG&E or their successor’s ability to operate the plant;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, as follows:

That the Council supports and re-emphasizes the need for the current and/or future owners of the Salem Harbor Power Plant to meet the DEP emission standards as soon as reasonably possible;  

That while desirous of a plant emissions clean up, the Council believes it is not reasonably possible for the Salem Harbor Power Plant to complete renovations by the October 1, 2004 deadline, which will likely lead to costly and lengthy litigation resulting in a possible delay for compliance in 2006;  

As such, the Council implores the Governor and DEP to reconsider the imposition of a 2004 deadline in favor of a critical path schedule for compliance that would build in extensions from the October 1, 2004 deadline, provided that the plant operator will work to comply with the emission standards as soon as possible but in no event later than 2006;

Lastly, the Council encourages the Mayor to enter into discussions with both the Governor and DEP aimed at educating and informing state officials on the economic impacts that any imposed deadline will have on Salem’s short and long-term fiscal stability and vitality.
