power plant. The environmentally
friendly Faribault Energy Park (FEP)

the largest investment in Faribault's
history. This facility is among the
cleanest-burning, most effi cient
electrical generation plants in the
Midwest. In addition to cleaner-
burning natural gas as a fuel source,
secondary fuels will include liquids

care, custody and control for all tagged items associated with the instrumentation
portion of this project, and was responsible for assuring that all the instrument
installations in STS scope were installed on time and with a minimum punch
