DESCRIPTION
OF
LEE
COUNTY
SOLID
WASTE
RESOURCE
RECOVERY
FACILITY
DATA
Upon
request
from
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency,
COVANTA
Lee
Inc.

submitted
annual
municipal
waste
combustor
(
MWC)
compliance
data
for
the
period
1994
to
200
1
from
its
solid
waste
resource
recovery
facility
located
in
Lee
County,
Florida.
The
facility
consists
of
two
600
tons
per
day
(
tpd)
mass
burn
waterwall
units
(
referred
to
as
Unit
1
and
Unit
2)
each
of
which
is
equipped
with
spray
dryer,
fabric
filter,
carbon
injection,
and
selective
non­

catalytic
reduction.
The
MWC
data
submitted
included
emissions
measurements
from
both
units
for
the
following
pollutants:

e
e
e
e
e
e
Dioxidfuran
(
ng/
dscm),

Particulate
matter
(
PM)
(
rng/

Cadmium
(

Lead
(
mg/

Mercury
and
percent
mercury
reduction
if
available
(
mg/
dscm),

Hydrogen
Chloride
(
HCl)
and
percent
HC1
reduction
if
available
(
ppmv),

Sulfur
dioxide
(
SO,)
and
percent
SO,
reduction
if
available
(
ppmv),

Nitrogen
oxides
(
NOJ
(
ppmv).

The
tests
followed
the
procedures
required
by
the
large
MWC
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
(
40
CFR
Subpart
Cb).
The
values
reported
for
dioxins/
furans,
PM,
cadmium,

lead,
mercury
and
HCl
are
the
arithmetic
average
control
device
outlet
levels
for
a
3­
run
stack
test
using
the
EPA
test
methods
and
sampling
times
required
by
the
NSPS.
For
mercury,
the
average
percent
reduction
for
the
3­
run
test
is
also
provided.
The
SO,
values
are

STUDY
OBJECTIVES
The
main
objectives
of
the
study
are:

To
characterize
the
variability
in
pollutant
emission
measurements
(
due
to
variability
in
process
and
measurement)
using
basic
univariate
statistics
and
relative
frequency
histograms,

To
evaluate
the
statistical
distribution
of
pollutant
emission
measurements
(
ie.,
normal
versus
lognormal)
with
normality
tests
and
applicable
shape
statistics,
such
as
relative
frequency
histograms
and
normal
probability
plots,
and
To
compute
relevant
threshold
values
(
Le.,
exceedance
values),
based
on
computed
sample
means
and
standard
deviations,
for
which
the
probability
that
a
given
test
at
the
facility
will
be
above
the
threshold
value
is
95
and
99
percent.

Table

presents
the
results
of
the
hypothesis
test
(
two­
sample
F­
test)
conducted
for
each
pollutant.
Because
the
computed
value
of
the
F­
statistic
was
less
than
the
critical
value,
Fa,
for
all
pollutants
at
the
95
and
99
percent
confidence
levels,
ERG
faiIed
to
reject
the
null
hypothesis
that
the
variability
of
pollutant
emission
measurements
from
the
two
units
are
statistically
equivalent.
­

Having
established
that
there
is
insufficient
evidence
to
support
that
the
observed
variability
of
pollutant
emission
measurements
for
Unit
1
is
different
than
that
of
Unit
2,
ERG
conducted
an
additional
hypothesis
test
to
evaluate
whether
there
is
sufficient
evidence
to
indicate
a
difference
in
the
mean
value
of
pollutant
emission
measurements
between
the
two
units.
Table
6
presents
the
results
of
the
hypothesis
test
(
two­
sample
t­
test)
conducted
for
each
pollutant.
From
the
table,
the
absolute
value
of
the
computed
t­
statistic
is
less
than
the
critical
value,
t,,
for
all
pollutants
at
the
95
and
99
percent
confidence
levels.
This
indicates
that
there
is
insufficient
evidence
to
reject
the
null
hypothesis
that
the
mean
pollutant
emission
measurements
fiom
the
two
units
are
statistically
equivalent.

Because
both
hypothesis
tests
suggest
that
there
is
no
statistically
significant
difference
in
the
mean
pollutant
emission
measurement
and
its
variability
between

pollutant,
ERG
combined
the
data
for
the
two
units
for
all
pollutants.*
It
is
expected
that
the
data
from
the
two
units
would
be
similar
because
the
designs
of
the
combustors
and
control
equipment
are
identical,
they
were
installed
at
the
same
time,
they
receive
MSW
from
the

sources,
and
they
are
operated
and
maintained
similarly
at
the
same
MWC
facility.

4.1
Statistical
Distribution
of
Pollutant
Emission
Measurements
There
are
numerous
methods
for
evaluating
the
statistical
distribution
of
a
given
data
set.

For
the
Lee
County
MWC
data,
ERG
employed
the
following
techniques
to
assess
whether
the
compliance
data
submitted
for
a
given
pollutant
is
normally
or
lognormally
distributed:

0
Frequency
histograms,

Normal
probability
plots,

0
Sample
moments
(
skewness
and
kurtosis),
and
0
Shapiro­
Wilk
(
W)
test.

AJFequency
histogram
divides
the
data
range
into
units,
counting
the
number
of
points
within
the
units,
and
displaying
the
data
as
the
height
or
area
within
a
bar
graph.
The
frequency
histogram
provides
a
means
for
assessing
the
symmetry
and
variability
of
the
data.
If
the
data
afe
symmetric,
the
frequency
histogram
will
also
display
symmetry
around
a
central
point,
such
as
a
mean.
Typically,
the
frequency
histog
ibuted
data
will
be
bell­
shaped.

A
normalprobabilityplot
shows
the
observations
of
a
sample
plotted
against
a
cumulative
frequency
distribution
(
or
quantiles
of
a
data
set
against
the
quantiles
of
the
normal
distribution).
Comparing
against
the
standard
S­
shaped
cumulative
frequency
distribution
is
difficult,
so
the
chart
transforms
the
observations
so
they
can
be
compared
against
a
straight­
line.

Observations
for
a
normally
distributed
sample
should
closely
follow
a
straight­
line.
For
non­

normally
distributed
data,
there
will
be
large
deviations
in
the
tails
or
middle
of
a
normal
probability
plot.
The
normal
probability
plot
is
also
another
way
to
assess
the
degree
of
symmetry
(
or
asymmetry)
displayed
by
the
data.
For
example,
if
the
data
in
the
upper
tail
fall
above
and
the
data
in
the
lower
tail
fall
below
the
quartile
line,
the
data
are
too
slender
to
be
well
modeled
by
a
normal
distribution.
Similarly,
if
the
data
in
the
upper
tail
fall
below
and
the
data
in
the
lower
tail
fall
above
the
quartile
line,
then
the
tails
of
the
data
are
too
heavy
to
be
well
modeled
using
a
normal
distribution.

The
skewness
coeficient
measures
the
degree
of
symmetry
(
or
asymmetry)
displayed
by
a
data
set.
The
kurtosis
coefJicient,
on
the
other
hand,
measures
the
degree
of
flatness
of
a
distribution
near
its
center.
For
an
ideal
normal
distribution,
the
skewness
and
kurtosis
coefficients
are
equal
to
0.
Substantial
variations
from
the
0
value
indicate
that
the
data
may
not
be
modeled
using
a
normal
distribution.

The
Shapiro­
Wilk
(
w)
test
is
one
of
most
commonly
employed
tests
of
normality.
The
test
involves
computing
a
correlation
between
the
quantiles
of
the
standard
normal
distribution
and
the
ordered
values
of
a
data
set
and
is
only
recommended
for
sample
sizes
less
than
or
equal
to
50.
The
statistical
power
of
the
test,
however,
declines
for
very
small
sample
sizes.
The
value
of
the
W
statistic
computed
for
a
given
set
of
data
can
range
from
0
to
1,
with
low
values
typically
leading
to
the
rejection
of
the
null
hypothesis
of
normality.

In
evaluating
the
most
appropriate
statistical
distribution
(
normal
versus
lognormal)
for
a
given
set
of
data,
the
results
obtained
from
the
application
of
the
above
statistical
techniques
have
to
be
considered
jointly.
Especially
for
small
sample
sizes,
no
single
technique
is
likely
to
yield
definitive
conclusions
on
the
type
of
distribution
displayed
by
the
data.
