Draft Environmental Assessment for the Sila Nanotechnologies - Moses Lake Auto-Scale Silicon Anode Plant Project, Moses Lake, Washington (DOE/EA-2214D) The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) proposes to provide cost-shared funding to Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Sila Nanotechnologies) for its planned Moses Lake Auto-Scale Silicon Anode Plant project in Moses Lake, Washington.  Sila Nanotechnologies proposes to construct a silicon anode manufacturing facility to support up to 2,300 tons per year (tpy) of production capacity. The proposed project would consist of two phases: Phase 1 includes installation of facility infrastructure and equipment to support up to 300 tpy of production capacity, while Phase 2 includes installation of additional equipment to expand production capacity up to 2,300 tpy. The two phases will run concurrently once both are constructed. The Sila Nanotechnologies factory would enable the sourcing of critical battery materials from within the U.S. and reduce the dependence on foreign material suppliers. The proposed project would engage the local workforce and make a positive contribution to the local economy of Moses Lake, while significantly strengthening the U.S. lithium-ion battery industry. DOE prepared the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing financial assistance to Sila Nanotechnologies for its proposed project. DOE invites public comments on the Draft EA for a period of 30 days starting with publication of this notice. The Draft EA is available for review at the Moses Lake Public Library, 418 E. 5th Avenue, Moses Lake, WA 98837, 509-765-3489.
