Cinergy officials say a proposed Oraville power plant could begin construction next spring after IEPA permits are granted by year end. A draft air permit is issued, noise would fall under IEPA, site surveys for endangered species and archaeology planned, with a 10 to 12 month build and a projected investment of at least 150 million dollars. Four natural gas turbines would meet summer peak demand while opponents seek details on noise levels.
