Bill as per your request, presented below is a status of the air permitting=
activity by the agencies as of today 11/01/01. Stations 1 and 2. The EPA has completed is review of these state permits an= d has sent them back to the ADEQ for comment. I have spoken to Shudeish, t= he permit engineer for the ADEQ, and he is reviewing EPA's comments as this= e mail is being written. He will give me a call when his review is comple= te, but he does not anticipate any major issues which cant be resolved prio= r to the public hearing. These permits went out for public notice on Octob= er 15 and 16, which means that the comment period ends on Nov. 15 and 16. = The ADEQ plans on holding the public hearing for both permits on monday Nov= . 19 in Williams AZ. at 7:00 pm. I plan on being there. Williams is locat= ed approx. 30 miles west of Flagstaff, AZ. The address for the hearing is = the Council Chambers located at 113 south 1st street. So far, there have b= een no responses submitted to the ADEQ by the public. In EPA's review proc= ess, they had a problem with methodology proposed by Transwestern for meas= uring sulfur in the fuel gas. We had proposed stain tubes in the custom fu= el monitoring schedule, they wanted us to do wet chemistry. We convinced t= hem otherwise (Byron, because of this, you wont need to order a sulfur anal= yzer for the Needles facility. This should save you about $40K). There wa= s also an issue with manufacturers quarantees regarding particulate matter = emissions from the turbine and catepillar. This has been resolved also. Stations 3 and 4. I received a call from Roger Kohn, the permit engineer f= or the EPA. He is satisified with the permit application contents and has = also approved stain tubes for the sulfur measurement at these locations. T= here are no outstanding issues on these permits from the EPA. The public c= omment period for the Station 3 and 4 permits ends Nov. 3. After this dat= e, it will take 1-2 weeks for the Regional Administrator of the EPA to sign= off on the permits and then he will have them issued to Transwestern. As= of this date, there have been no comments submitted to the EPA for the per= mits for station 3 and or 4. Ill keep everyone apprised of future events.
