SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office,

wastewater effluent for injection as a means of increasing the recovery

Office, 850 Energy Drive, MS 1221, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401-1563, (208)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The statutory authority for the proposed 
award is the Geothermal Energy Research, Development & Demonstration 
Act (Pub. L. 93-410); the Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. 
L. 95-91); and the Energy and Water Development Appropriation Bill of 
1993 (Pub. L. 102-377). The proposal meets the criteria for ``non-
competitive'' financial assistance as set forth in 10 CFR Part 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(C). The applicant represents a unit of government and 
the activity to be supported is related to the performance of a

will be the owner and operator of the pipeline carrying the effluent 
from the county wastewater treatment plant to The Geysers. The 
anticipated period to complete the award is eighteen (18) months. The 
Office of Utility Technologies has provided $1,800,000 to the DOE, 
Idaho Operations Office for support of this project. This grant would 
augment the County's funds associated with this project. The total 
estimated cost of this project is $30,000,000.
