BILL NUMBER:S4594 TITLE OF BILL: An act in relation to a proposed electric generating facility in the county of Suffolk; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE: This bill would encourage the development of a new or repowering electric generation project in the Village of Port Jefferson to replace existing, outdate and inefficient power facilities on a potentially contaminated property that would be restored with a modem, efficient power source. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. Describes the tax plots on which an electric generation project could be sited. In addition, if such a site and proposed project meeting stated criteria qualifies as a qualified site pursuant to the State's Brownfield cleanup Project, such project would be deemed to be a manufacturing facility and would be placed in an environmental zone. For such a project to qualify as a manufacturing facility and be eligible for environmental zone designation, it would have to demonstrate an efficiency rating of at least forty-eight percent, be capable of producing at least 600 MW of power running at least 7,000 hours a year, achieve markedly improved emission controls compared to the site's existing generation facilities and the developer would have to safely remediate the site to State registry
