Discussion of EPA's FACA Non-Renewal Decision

•	Sims Roy reviewed EPA's decision to not renew the FACA charter
with the WG. He indicated that the charter will be extended
until September 20, 1998, and that the CC would meet for the
final time in September. The structure and timing of
individual source work groups' meetings at the September
meeting may differ from the past; the WGs may meet the day
before the CC meeting or not at all, depending on the needs of
each source WG. He reviewed EPA's responses to questions
concerning the decision that came up at the co-chairs and CC
meetings.

•	WG members inquired about the possibility of the CTWG remaining
a group that could meet with EPA on a regular basis to keep up
to date with the rulemaking. Sims Roy indicated that since the
CTWG was established by EPA, the group could not continue
providing advice to EPA under the guidelines of FACA.

•	Valerie Overton reviewed the CC's request for three types of
work items for the September CC meeting: closure items, works
in progress (ongoing and new), and data/information items. Ted
Guth presented the tentative list of CTWG items presented at
the CC meeting. This presentation is attached as Attachment
IV. The final list of items in each category is to be posted
to the ICCR TTN by August 31, 1998, with items unlikely to be
available electronically footnoted. Electronic versions of the
items to be considered by the CC are to be posted to the TTN by
September 4, 1998.

•	Several WG members wished to provide feedback to EPA on the
FACA non-renewal decision.

•	Marvin Schorr indicated that many companies have advocated
getting involved in the regulatory process for a long time
and regarded this process as an opportunity for
involvement. He expressed disappointment that, with this
effort, there has been no reciprocity on the part of EPA
to commitments they expect from others. He indicated that
GE made a four year commitment going into this effort and
thought that EPA had done so as well. He felt the
decision was poorly handled by EPA and indicated that some
people were not even aware that the charter had to be
renewed every two years. He expressed disappointment in
EPA's decision and was bothered that the decision was made
without outside consulting.

•	Ted Guth indicated that he agreed with Marvin, but
mentioned that EPA did consult with WG members via
facilitators. He said that, according to EPA, the
consensus among WG members was that they wanted to keep
the process going. Therefore, EPA must have made the
decision based on other factors and information.

•	Greg Adams expressed the opinion that the CTWG has been a
well-focused group and that he is bothered that the

2


-------
benefit of the group's expertise will not be available to
the EPA during development of the final regulation. He
was disappointed that the process will no longer be as
open.

•	A.J. Cherian said that he is also disappointed that the
partnership didn't work, but acknowledged that EPA was
pushed into a corner as far as the schedule goes and that
industry representatives should share part of the blame.

•	Gordon Brown indicated that he was very surprised with the
decision. He felt like it was an abrupt decision and
expected, at the very least, that the charter would be
extended for about six months. He felt that the decision
was inconsistent with the feedback that EPA received and
asked at what level of EPA the decision was made.

•	Sims Roy explained that the decision was made at the upper
management level by John Seitz of OAQPS. He also
explained that everybody seemed to agree that the process
needed to be drastically changed; WG members responded
that 15-20% of their time was being spent on ICCR and that
most of this time was spent attending meetings,
downloading and reading documents from the TTN, while only
3-4% of the time was spent on doing actual work. He
indicated that consensus opinions were rarely reached, and
that EPA realized that more contentious issues are
forthcoming. He said that Bruce Jordan looked at the
deadline for the final regulation and felt like EPA was on
the edge of not even meeting a deadline of 18 months past
the required date for MACT standards.

Status of Testing and Monitoring Task Group

•	Sims Roy reviewed the testing priorities decided upon as a
result of the co-chairs recommendations. Since resources may
be limited, resources will first be focused on incinerators
(section 129), boilers, and engines. Criteria for testing
should be based on which sources emit the greatest quantity of
toxic pollutants and on the amount of data that will be needed
to write the final MACT rule.

•	Sims Roy indicated that funds for turbine testing may be
available in the FY 1999 budget but that availability of funds
is unknown at this time. Environmental groups have mentioned
turbines in terms of children's health and are concerned about
formaldehyde and PAHs (as benzo(a)pyrene).

•	The WG decided to push to get a summary report of the CO
catalyst test conducted by API/GRI to the CC at the September
meeting. Gordon Brown and Sims Roy will keep in contact with
GRI on this issue.

•	The WG discussed what testing priorities should be now that it
is known that limited or no testing may be done in light of
limited resources. WG members discussed the usefulness of
retesting turbines with questionnable data rather than getting
one or two data points for a potential control technology.

Many members expressed concern about the SCONOx test report and
suggested retesting the unit using full EPA protocols. Other

3


-------
suggestions for high testing priorities included retesting of
the unit with the high formaldehyde data point and generating
additional chromium (VI) data.

•	Two task groups were formed to address testing issues. The
first, led by Derek Furstenwerth, will rethink testing issues
and priorities based on the availability of funds and
additional review of the high formaldehyde emission point (SCE
Coolwater test). Group members are Wilfred Hung, Chuck Solt,
Ted Guth, Sims Roy, Marvin Schorr, and Mervyn Soares. The
second group will be led by John Klein and includes Jeff
Willis, Derek Furstenwerth, Gordon Brown, Ted Guth, and Sims
Roy. The task of this group is to review the full SCONOx
report and provide their conclusions to the WG.

•	The WG discussed a hold harmless agreement (memorandum of
understanding)for facilities that would be tested and decided
that this issue should be left to EPA at this point since it
would need to be determined on a case by case basis.

Status of Model Plants Task Group

•	Dan Herndon and Keri Leach gave a presentation on a procedure
for estimating national costs and emission reduction impacts.
This presentation is included as Attachment V.

•	WG members will collect the information needed to complete the
model plants analyses. The following issues will be addressed
by specific individuals: ductwork costs (Sam Allen and Marvin
Schorr); power output reduction due to the increase in pressure
drop caused by the catalyst (Chuck Solt); cost differential
related to "dirty" fuels (Greg Adams); retrofit costs (Sam
Allen and Ted Guth); information from the inventory database
that may be useful for identifying those turbines equipped with
heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) units (Chuck Solt).

Status of Gas Combustion Task Group

•	Marvin Schorr will send a final draft of the Gas Combustion
White Paper to task group members on or before August 17, 1998.
Members will review and revise the document, as appropriate, to
submit as a closure item to the CC at the September meeting.

Status of Pollution Prevention Task Group

•	The WG discussed the documents produced by the Pollution
Prevention Subgroup of the CC. Chuck Solt will condense the
recommendations to those that are potentially applicable to
combustion turbines and distribute them to the full WG.

•	The WG discussed whether there was anything to pass onto the CC
concerning pollution prevention. Gordon Brown, A.J. Cherian,
John Klein, and Chuck Solt agreed to update the white paper on
turbine efficiency and pollution prevention to reflect the
latest P2 issues.

Status of Less Active Task Groups

4


-------
•	The WG discussed the status of the less active task groups to
determine if there are any work products that should be
forwarded to the CC for consideration.

•	Database Task Group: The refined population and emissions
databases will be submitted electronically to the CC as
data/information items.

•	HAP Reduction Technology Task Group: The group decided to
transmit hard copies of the reports from the HAP Technology
Workshop to the CC at the September meeting. John Klein will
develop a cover letter to accompany these documents.

•	Subcatecrorization Task Group: The subcategorization report will
be transmitted as is to the CC to be forwarded to EPA. No
further action is needed on the part of the Subcategorization
Task Group.

•	HAP vs. Criteria Pollutants Task Group: Greg Adams will review
the summary report and distribute it to the WG for comments
prior to submittal to the CC for the September meeting.

•	Nothing further is needed from the MACT Floor and Planning Task
Groups.

Discussion of Cost Effectiveness

•	Sims Roy indicated that he looked at cost effectiveness in
other MACT standards and found that it depends on the toxicity
of the pollutant being considered. For instance, he reported
that he found cost effectiveness (C/E) figures in the $20-$40
million per ton range for one mercury rule and in the low
millions of dollars per ton range for chromium VI. He indicated
that there are no clear rules for determining what is
considered to be cost effective.

•	Jim McCarthy presented cost effectiveness values calculated by
GRI for oxidation catalysts on turbines. This presentation is
included as Attachment VI. He indicated that WG members could
request a copy of the full cost report, available August 15,
1998 (GRI-98/0218).

•	The group decided to put together a white paper that details
C/E factors for turbines to forward to the CC as a closure
item. A.J. Cherian will lead this effort; Sam Clowney, Chuck
Solt, Gordon Brown, and Sims Roy will assist.

Next Meeting

•	The WG decided to hold a face-to-face meeting in lieu of the
scheduled August teleconference. The meeting is scheduled for
August 26 and 27 in Chicago, Illinois, at GRI's offices.

•	The agenda items will include all work items that need to be
completed or reviewed to pass to the CC at the September
meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 4:30 pm.

ESTIMATE CONTROL COSTS

•	Use OAQPS cost factors to estimate total capital
investment and annual operating costs and other
documented information provided by CTWG

•	Catalyst Costs and Lifetime:

-	Englehard vs GE catalyst cost information

-	SCONOx and Catalytica costs

-	typical lifetime vs vendor guarantee

•	Value for % emission reduction?

•	Value for turbine efficiency (used with MW
capacity to calculate MMBtu/hr input)

V - 5


-------
Extrapolate Model Plant Costs and Emission
Reductions to National Basis

•	EAWG needs cost/emission reduction estimates
on an SIC basis

•	Extrapolate costs/emission reductions for model
plants using distributions from inventory database

-	capacity, operating hours

•	Database gaps exist for cost-related parameters
