Process for meeting minutes

AQM Proposes the following: Within 1 week after a meeting, AQM will create and

distribute a draft and post it as “draft”. All committee members provide input, comment or

correction within 1 week. Then, AQM incorporates all comments into the draft

and post it as “final”. Any further comments on “final version” will be

addressed and discussed in the next meeting, and be recorded in the next meeting minutes.

After the meeting minutes being discussed and approved in the next meeting, an “approved version” will be posted under the next meeting.

Follow-up Issues of Meeting #2

By Valero: (1)Better control options: burner

replacement vs. stack control.(2) $/Ton information for ULNB, SCR and

SNCR.(3)Feasibility of controlling some units to

levels below 0.04 to average all units to 0.04 lb/mmBTU rate, control technology to each unit.

6

Follow-up Issues of Meeting #2

By AQM: (1) Explanations on estimated 78 TPD

NOx or 40 TPD VOC reductions.

(2) Expected reductions from individual source sectors.

Milestone

126.1 TPD VOC

8

How was 78 TPD NOx (or 40 TPD VOC) reductions estimated ?

1. Kent-New Castle 2002 base year NOx equivalent: 289 TPD.

2. 2002-2008 15% reduction:289 x 15% = 43.4 TPD.

3. Estimated growth at 2% per year:289 x 2% x 6 year = 34.7 TPD

4. Total reduction needed:43.4 + 34.7 = 78.1 TPD

(The 40 TPD VOC reductions can be obtained following the same process)

Expected reductions from individual source sectors

Point sources: 13 TPD 23%Area sources: 11 TPD 19%Off-road mobile sources: 14 TPD 25%On-road mobile sources: 19 TPD 33%Total 57 TPD 100%

Note: (1) Estimates are tentative for the whole state.(2) And for 2002-2010 period.(3) Point source reductions do not include Multi-P EGU reg, lightering reg, and this large boiler reg.
