ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION, TACKLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS, ENSURING THE NATION’S NUCLEAR SECURITY AND SUSTAINING INVESTMENT IN ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP The mission of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to support the Nation’s prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear security challenges through transformative science and technological solutions. DOE’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Budget Request (Request) of $46.2 billion is strengthened by the President’s American Jobs Plan creating jobs through deployment of clean energy projects; bringing America to the forefront of clean energy innovation; tackling the climate crisis with the urgency science demands; investing in communities that have been left behind; ensuring the Nation’s nuclear security; and sustaining the Nation’s investment in cleanup of World War II and Cold War nuclear sites. The FY 2022 Budget Request is another important opportunity for the Biden Administration to continue laying a stronger foundation for the future of the Nation and to reverse a legacy of chronic under-investment in crucial priorities. This Request is a means for America not only going back to the way things were before the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn struck, but is a path to begin building a better, stronger, more secure and more inclusive America. The FY 2022 Budget Request will continue to advance our core science and security missions and will jump-start efforts to create jobs and build the clean energy economy of the future. The Request supports an economy that better suits American families and an economy that works for all types of communities with jobs for all kinds of workers. America is back at the table for climate action and the Request supports new funding opportunities for technologies ranging from carbon capture to geothermal energy to extracting critical minerals from coal waste. Ambitious new goals for renewable energy are set to cut solar costs by more than half and add 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030. The U.S. must deploy research and development (R&D) initiatives developed at the National Laboratories. The National Laboratories have served as the Nation’s leading institutions for scientific innovation for more than 75 years, and most recently, these National Laboratories continued working toward groundbreaking discoveries, including in the fight against COVID-19. These investments are a down payment on what we need to do as a Nation. To build an economy that positions American families and American communities to thrive, we need the investments of the American Jobs Plan and the FY 2022 Budget Request to take us further. The FY 2022 Budget Request supports the President’s vision of achieving carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 while creating good-paying jobs by investing over $2.2 billion in a Building Clean Energy Projects and Workforce Initiative at DOE. This investment will support efficient implementation of American Jobs Plan programs – including programmatic infrastructure for a new energy efficiency and clean electricity standard --weatherizing 50,000 low-income homes, increasing the efficiency of federal buildings through performance contracts, and establishing a new Build Back Better Challenge Grant competition to support novel State-, local-, and Tribal-level approaches to clean energy deployment that provides benefits to marginalized and overburdened communities and streamlined transmission investment. These investments will develop and deploy technologies that will deliver a clean energy revolution resulting in affordable, abundant clean power delivered on a modern energy grid that is resilient and reliable. DOE is committed to securing environmental justice and spurring economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened by pollution and experience underinvestment in essential services. In line with Executive Order 14008, DOE will take proactive actions to work towards ensuring 40 percent of the benefits of climate and clean energy, remediation of legacy pollution, and workforce development investments are directed to disadvantaged communities. These actions will include an examination of the activities of key programs to determine whether those programs’ benefits have accrued to disadvantaged communities. DOE will also begin to track program expenditures that impact disadvantaged communities and consider metrics that will help track how applicable covered program benefits accrue at specific disadvantaged communities. Within DOE, the FY 2022 Budget Request invests more than $8 billion in clean energy and climate innovation. From investing

    Conclusions and Summary Report: Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Chromated Copper Arsenate-Treated Utility Poles with Comparisons to Concrete, Galvanized Steel, and Fiber- Reinforced Composite Utility Poles Prepared by: AquAeTer, Inc. © 2013 Arch Wood Protection, Inc. Project Name: Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of CCA-Treated Utility Poles Comparisons to Concrete, Galvanized Steel, and Fiber-Reinforced Composite Utility Poles Conclusions and Summary Report Arch Wood Protection commissioned AquAeTer, Inc., an independent consulting firm, to prepare a quantitative evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with the national production, use, and disposition of chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated, concrete, galvanized steel, and fiber- reinforced composite utility poles using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and following ISO 14044 standards. The comparative results confirm: • Less Energy & Resource Use: CCA-treated utility poles require less total energy and less fossil fuel than concrete, galvanized steel, and fiber-reinforced composite utility poles. CCA-treated utility poles require less water than concrete and fiber-reinforced composite utility poles. • Lower Environmental Impacts: CCA-treated utility poles have lower environmental impacts in comparison to concrete, steel, and fiber-reinforced composite utility poles for all six impact indicator categories assessed: anthropogenic greenhouse gas, net greenhouse gas, acid rain, smog, ecotoxicity, and eutrophication-causing emissions. • Decreases Greenhouse Gas Levels: Use of CCA- treated utility poles lowers greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere whereas concrete, galvanized steel, and fiber-reinforced composite utility poles increase greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. • Offsets Fossil Fuel Use: Reuse of CCA-treated utility poles for energy recovery in permitted facilities with appropriate emission controls will further reduce greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, while offsetting the use of fossil fuel energy.

  • Utility Pole Assessment and Tagging at Ameren
    Utility Pole Assessment and Tagging at Ameren Utility pole inspection and treatment varies among Utilities. Ameren takes a pro -active approach to inspection and remedial treatment. Distribution, sub -transmission and transmission poles are inspected in cycles and receive inspection methods that are distinct to the pole species. Inspection and treatment helps to; 1. Identify failing utility poles and assess the overall condition of the system. 2. Treatment helps to extend the life of the utility pole. 3. Both together provide for greater system reliability. The industry standard for a safe utility pole requires 2 inches of good shell depth. Studies show that the greatest strength of a utility pol es lies in the outer 2 inches of shell. Please note that this pole was cut to displa y it ’s remaining shell of approximately one inch. Proper pole assessment employs at least 3 different forms of inspection. 1. A visual inspection as depicted below. 2. Sounding of the pole. 3. and boring the pole to measure remaining shell depth. Hammer sounding the pole. Depending on the specs, a pole will be hammer sounded from groundline to about 76 ” above groundline on all sides to detect any internal decay pockets. Groundline treatment of a sub transmission pole. The pole is excavated to a depth of 18 ”. Decayed wood and rotted material is removed and a Copper Napthenate wrap is applied. Pole tags play an important part in supporting the inspection cycle and AM/FM system. Pole tags fall into a few different categories; • Asset tags, used to support the AMFM system and Asset Management.

  • High Voltage Power Lines Why?
    Session 3247 High-Voltage Power Lines - WHY? Walter Banzhaf, P.E. College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture University of Hartford, West Hartford, CT 06117 Introduction Electrical utility companies provide our world with the electrical energy needed to operate most things that do not move (in our homes, schools, and offices), while fossil fuels provide the energy mostly for things that do move (cars, boats, airplanes). The existence of the electrical utility infrastructure is apparent to us when we drive cars or walk in our neighborhoods and see poles, towers, transformers, insulators and conductors, and when blackouts occur due to storm damage and vehicle accidents. However, many are unaware of the existence of, or reasons for, high-voltage transmission and distribution lines, and fewer still understand why such lethal potentials are present in our residential neighborhoods. While some introductory courses1 in Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) programs do provide an orientation to the electrical utility system, and some programs2,3,4 have courses, or a concentration, in electrical utility systems, the need for high-voltage lines may not be clear to most EET students. This paper describes a simple demonstration circuit which illustrates why high voltage is needed, and makes apparent the benefits of using it. Background Transmission and distribution are terms used by the electrical power companies to describe, respectively, high-voltage three-phase power lines at 69,000 volts or more that connect generation facilities (power plants) to substations near the neighborhoods where electrical energy is used, and the somewhat lower voltage power lines (less than 69,000 volts) that go from the neighborhood substation to the street near the homes and businesses which consume electrical energy.

  • Technical Guideline for the Investigation of Utility Pole Storage Areas February 2021
    Bureau of Remediation & Waste Management Technical Guideline for The Investigation of Utility Pole Storage Areas February 2021 Utility poles (aka telephone poles, power poles) are used to support overhead electric and other public utility lines. These utility poles are typically made of wood and, over time, have been treated with a variety of preservatives to make them resistant to rot and insects. Utility pole storage sites have been located throughout the state. Utility poles are stored in racks that are commonly called ‘pole brows’. The brows have traditionally been made of treated utility poles and have historically been located over bare ground. Newer brows may be paved, with a containment berm and wood chips to absorb drippings from the stored utility poles. Dripping and leaching of preservatives from treated utility poles stored in pole brows, over time, can result in significant contamination in underlying soils. The suite of potential contaminants of concern in pole brow areas makes them fairly unique and requires special consideration when investigating these areas for risk assessment and remedial planning. General Conceptual Site Model Potential contaminants of concern (PCOCs) in utility pole storage brows are directly related to the various preservatives used to treat utility poles. Coal tar creosote, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and chromated arsenicals/chromated copper arsenate (CCA) have been the primary wood preservatives applied to utility poles. The production of PCP typically results in byproducts of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (dioxins). The PCP is applied with a petroleum solvent, most commonly diesel. CCA is a water-soluble pesticide. Potential contaminants of concern related to these preservatives are: - Pentachlorophenol - Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins - Petroleum related compounds - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Arsenic - Copper - Chromium (including hexavalent chromium) Dripping and leaching of preservatives from the treated utility poles to bare soil can result in significant concentrations of contaminants.
