facility by conveyor systems located on a piece of land that is
approximately 3.5 miles long by 100 feet wide.
Buildings at the SJRPP serve a support function to the
electrical power generation components. The buildings are not
significant compared to the other parts of the SJRPP facilities
in terms of size and cost.
In operation, Units 1 and 2 both use coal from the SJRPP’s
coal yard and coal-unloading facilities (train and ship). The
SJRPP’s conveyor system serves both Units 1 and 2. Employees of
the SJRPP work on both Units 1 and 2. Both these units use the
SJRPP’s inventory, storage, and tool rooms. The SJRPP includes
other facilities common to both Units 1 and 2, such as the switch
yard, waste water treatment, limestone handling, shipment
handling, and rotary coal dumper. Unit 1 is capable of
supporting the critical systems of Unit 2 and vice versa. These
critical systems are “cross connected” to support one another,
and include the instrument air/service units, condensate systems,
cooling water systems, and auxiliary steam systems.
The SJRPP Unit 1 and the common facilities were placed in
service in 1987, and Unit 2 was placed in service in 1988. After
Unit 1, the common facilities, and Unit 2 were placed in service,
certain construction completion work remained, including “wrap
up” work and “enhancements and deficiencies” work. “Wrap up”
work included predominantly contract closeout work related to
