I’ve spent about 85% of my life’s wages on fishing, the rest I just wasted…

I like the suggestion to paint it with black and white “barber pole” stripes, like a light house. They could even put a spinning light on it! Hey, they have free electric!!

Hey Woodie… What is the story on the coal fired plant? Is SCEG going to retire it, or are they converting it to natural gas and doing away with the smokestack? Does this mean no more hot water discharge to fish around in the winter?

The facility will be converted to natural gas generation by 2015 and razed after SCE&Gs new nuclear plant in Fairfield County is ready in 2018.

Thats right Jonboy, the discharge will go away…Approximately 250 CFS (113,000 GPM) of cooling water for the McMeekin condensers is taken from and returned to two of the Saluda Hydro penstocks. Under normal operation, McMeekin Stations cooling water is supplied from Saluda Hydros Unit 4 penstock, pumped through the condensers, and returned to the Unit 2 penstock. If Saluda Hydro Unit 2 is not operating, the returned cooling water enters the reservoir (Lake Murray) through the intake tower. If Saluda Hydro Unit 2 is operating, the returned cooling water is discharged through the hydro unit into the Saluda River.
