Rick, Terry had informed me that Solar had trouble with this unit in making
its emissions guarantees, prior to shipping it to La Plata. I was not aware of this when I permitted the unit.a couple of years ago. In an attempt to solve the problem, in November, I had submitted a modification to the permit to the state of Colorado requesting additional emissions as it appears the unit exceeds its permitted levels during the colder months. I received a call form the state of Colorado and they said they are hesitant to approve of more emissions for us. We reached an agreement with the state that they would remove the pound per hour limit and keep the ton per year requirement in an attempt to give us more operating room (the higher emissions months would be balanced by the warmer months which produce less emissions. However, after Terry went through the calculations we were still exceeding the permitted emission limits when we calculated yearly limits. I dont know if Solar might have sold us a bill of goods but based upon emisisons calculations, the unit cant stay under the emissions guarantees that Solar promised. We have notified the state of Colorado, as the permit requires and Im sure they will be following up on this. Let me know what Solar says....... Team San-Juan-LaPlata 01/24/2001 11:08 AM To: Rick Smith/ET&S/Enron@Enron cc: Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Rich Jolly/ET&S/Enron@Enron Subject: La Plata emissions issues Rick, the A-102 unit at LaPlata is at a point, using calculated rolling averages, that it is exceeding the tons per year emissions level of NOX, CO, and VOC. If we continue to run at these points it could mean an NOV. The numbers that we used on the permit are the guranteed emission numbers from Solar Turbines (per Larry Campbell). We were wondering if you could approach Leon O'Brien and/or Ernie Roberts on what Solar could do to remedy this problem. We feel that a communication coming from you and Rich might carry a little more weight then the LaPlata Gang could muster. Larry Campbell suggested that we try to remedy this through Solar Turbines first, before we pursue other avenues. Let us know if we can help in any way. Tnanks, Terry
