The purpose of the meeting is to provide the public with a brief overview of the recently received air construction and stormwater management system permit applications the Department received for the construction of the Northwest Florida Renewable Energy Center (NWFREC). The proposed project location is approximately 1.6 miles directly north of the intersection of US Highway 98 and Highway 71, off of Industrial Road at 521 Premier Drive in Port St. Joe, Gulf County. These applications are to construct the NWFREC; which would be a 47 megawatts (net) woody biomass power plant operating on the principle of integrated gasification and combined. The Department’s permitting process and timeframes for reviewing permit applications will also be discussed.
