Agenda

Discussion based on PCA comments –Appendices 11 and 12

We are not going to cover comments on benefit analysis- but comments are
being looked by the Benefit people

ISIS will be the model to be used for the promulgation of the NESHAP and
for benefit analyses together with some air quality analysis

Projections have been updated- units and demand

EPA will be scheduling a call for Jan 27 at 3:00pm for discussion on
import modeling

EPA to receive comments from PCA on running ISIS

Per Stu Sessions and Ty Wilson – Environomics just finished evaluation
of model, PCA reviewing the comments.  EPA should expect to receive PCA
comments by the end of Jan 2010

EPA to received data to update AVC functions per PCA comment –Appendix
13 page 15

Ty and Ed- are in the process of finalizing a statement with aggregate
data from PCA’s Benchmarking Survey- data will be CBI

EPA to receive recommendation on which transportation cost reference to
use in ISIS – Appendix 13 page 38

 

Stu- will get with Ed’s team and will get back to EPA with
recommendation

-  Appendix 11 page 5- Emission Intensities (ton pollutant/on clinker)

PCA to revise emission intensities for NOx (by kiln type and perhaps
state) and SO2 (by kiln type and state). EPA to provide tables of
emission intensities –input spreadsheet

Can PCA provide baseline SO2 emissions- data derived from PCA's Labor
Energy Survey

-  Appendix 11 page 7 -SO2 removal performance

Is the report that specifies SO2 removal performance from PCA’s
consultant available for EPA review? 

Bob? /Dan? / Cristal? –from vendors information

Can we get real performance (emissions) and control efficiency for the 5
kilns with wet scrubbers?

Years of scrubbers being installed? 

Appendix 12 page 3

EPA needs background materials that back-up control performance
assumptions used by PCA
