Notes
According to community group SING (Save It Now, Glades), this facility would have been located next to the Caloosahatchee River, Lake Okeechobee, 5 miles from the Fisheating Creek WMA and about 65 miles from Everglades NP. It would have been located on a 5,000 acre site. Governor Crist opposed this plant and The Florida Public Service Commission voted (unanimously) to deny permits for this facility, determining that it was not the most cost effective alternative. Map marker is approximate as exact site is unknown.
