Beginning tomorrow, Monday, April 23, Burns & McDonnell will be performing EPA mandated emissions testing of the plant’s auxiliary boiler. This testing must be performed 12 hours per day for 4 days from 7 am to 7 pm. Because the Auxiliary Boiler (by design) is not connected to the plant’s Air Cooled Condensers, the steam generated by the boiler must be released to the atmosphere. Burns & Mac is aware of the concerns that our neighbors expressed when Iberdrola ran the Auxiliary Boiler in the plant. Over the last week, Burns & Mac has worked to add a silencer to the vent as well as redirecting the exhaust to attempt to direct the sound away from the neighborhood. We are hopeful that these efforts will reduce the noise associated with this testing but will not know how successful they are until the testing begins. As always, please call our information line at 978-740-8411 with any questions or concerns.

Hello fans and friends! Many of you have asked when the park will be opening. The city expects construction to be completed by mid May. Of course this is weather dependent, and we all know how wacky the weather has been lately! So keep your fingers crossed!

On Sunday, April 15, Footprint Power Salem Harbor Development LP (“Footprint”) terminated its engineering, procurement and construction agreement with Iberdrola Energy Projects. Footprint simultaneously entered into a contract with Burns & McDonnell (“Burns & Mac”), one of the largest nationally-recognized and experienced power plant contractors in the United States to complete the project. As Burns & Mac has been assessing the status of the Project for months and is stepping into the General Contractor role immediately, the transition will be safe, seamless, and provide sufficient time for Burns & Mac expeditiously to complete construction and the remaining testing necessary to ensure safe and reliable commercial operation. Most of the Project’s current union workers will continue under Burns & Mac until their scope of work is complete. With Burns & Mac’s support, we expect the power generating portion of the facility to become operational in the near future and the balance of the project to be completed by December 2018. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please call Footprint’s information line at (978) 740-8411.
