Draft Questionnaire Content

ELECTRIC UTILITY STEAM GENERATING UNIT

HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS INFORMATION COLLECTION EFFORT

BURDEN STATEMENT

Preliminary estimates of the public burden associated with this information collection effort indicate a total of 86,881 hours and $96,541,879. This is the estimated burden for 531 facilities to provide information on their boilers, fuel oil types and/or coal rank, 1,334 units to provide hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions data and 12 months of fuel analyses, and 886 units to conduct emissions testing.

Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information that is sent to ten or more persons unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

[NOTE: It is EPA’s intent for the final version of this questionnaire to be in electronic format. The final format will include all questions noted herein.]

Please provide the information requested in the following forms. If you are unable to respond to an item as it is stated, please provide any information you believe may be related. Use additional copies of the request forms for your response.

If you believe the disclosure of the information requested would compromise confidential business information (CBI) or a trade secret, clearly identify such information as discussed in the cover letter. Any information subsequently determined to constitute CBI or a trade secret under EPA’s CBI regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, will be protected pursuant to those regulations and, for trade secrets, under 18 U.S.C. 1905. If no claim of confidentiality accompanies the information when it is received by EPA, it may be made available to the public by EPA without further notice pursuant to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.203. Because Clean Air Act (CAA) section 114(c) exempts emission data from claims of confidentiality, the emission data you provide may be made available to the public notwithstanding any claims of confidentiality. A definition of what the EPA considers emissions data is provided in 40 CFR 2.301(a)(2)(i).

PART III: EMISSION TESTING

For units identified in Part B of the Supporting Statement, testing is to be performed for the identified HAP on a one-time basis after the last control device (i.e., after the last control device or at the stack if the last control device is not shared with one or more other units). Facilities are to use the test procedures noted in Enclosure 1 (“Summary of Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit Test Procedures, Methods, and Reporting Requirements”) for both the stack and fuel sampling. Each test is to consist of three separate runs for each pollutant at the sampling location. EPA requires that the facility conduct testing with paired trains for fine particulate matter (which is included in the testing of units for mercury and other non-mercury metallic HAP) and with duplicate (simultaneous but not necessarily collocated) trains for the other HAP being tested. Emission measurements frequently consist of a sequential set (typically three) of singular method tests over the course of several hours or days. In contrast, a sequential set of duplicate or paired method tests provides the only measure of test method precision, thereby facilitating identification of test data “outliers” occasionally generated through improper test method execution, versus true source emission variability. Indeed, paired method data provides a quantifiable way to identify and distinguish between erratic test data and actual emission variations.

Companies with multiple units identified on the Attachments to Part B of the Supporting Statement will be required to notify EPA within 3 weeks of receipt of the CAA section 114 letter which units representing 60 percent of their required data will be submitted within 6 months of receipt of the letter and which units representing an additional 20 percent of their required data (i.e., a total of 80 percent of their required data) will be submitted within 7 months of receipt of the letter. Companies will also be notified of this requirement in the cover letter specifying the test requirements.

Summary of Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit Test Procedures, Methods, and Reporting Requirements

This document provides an overview of approved methods, target pollutant units of measure, and reporting requirements for the coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit test plan. The document is organized as follows:

1.0 Stack Testing Procedures and Methods

2.0 Fuel Analysis Procedures and Methods

3.0 How to Report Data

4.0 How to Submit Data

5.0 Definitions

6.0 Contact Information for Questions on Test Plan and Reporting

1.0 Stack Testing Procedures and Methods

The EPA coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit test program includes stack test data requests for several pollutants, including specific hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and potential surrogate groups. If you operate a coal- or oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit, you were selected to perform a stack test for some combination of the following pollutants or potential surrogate groups (i.e., simultaneous or overlapping measurements per group):

• Non-dioxin/furan organic HAP: Carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), volatile organic compounds (VOC), polycyclic organic matter (POM), methane, formaldehyde, oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxides of nitrogen (NO_X), volatile and semi-volatile organic HAP

• Dioxin/furan: dioxins/furans (D/F), O₂, CO₂

• Acid gas HAP: hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), O₂, CO₂

• Mercury and non-mercury metallic HAP: mercury (Hg), HAP metals (including antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), Cr⁺⁶, cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P) and selenium (Se)), particulate matter (PM – total filterable, PM_2.5 (wet and dry), and condensable); total solids; O₂, CO₂

Refer to Table _ on page _ of the section 114 letter you received for the specific combustion unit and pollutants we are requesting that you perform emission tests. You may have submitted test data for some of these pollutants already.

1.1 How to Select Sample Location and Gas Composition Analysis Methods

U.S. EPA Method 1 of Appendix A of Part 60 must be used to select the locations and number of traverse points for sampling. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method1.html for a copy of the method and guidance information.

Analysis of flue gas composition, including oxygen concentration, must be performed using U.S. EPA Methods 3A or 3B of Appendix A of Part 60. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3a.html for Method 3A or http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3b.html for Method 3B information.

1.2 Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit Test Methods and Reporting

Table 1.2 presents a summary of the recommended test methods for each pollutant and possible alternative methods. If you would like to use a method not on this list, and the list does not meet the definition of “equivalent” provided in the definitions section of this document, please contact EPA for approval of an alternative method.

For copies of the recommended U.S. EPA methods and additional information, please refer to EPA’s Emission Measurement Center website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/. A copy of RCRA Method 0011 for aldehydes may be obtained here: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/pdfs/0011.pdf.

Report pollutant emission data as specified in Table 1.2 below. Each test should be comprised of three test runs. All pollutant concentrations should be corrected to 7 percent oxygen and should be reported on the same moisture basis (dry). Report the results of the stack tests according to the instructions in Section 3.0 of this enclosure. In addition to the emission test data, you should also report the following process information taken during the 30 day period before, at the time of, and following, the emissions test: Total heat input; feed rate; steam output; gross electric output; net electric output; emissions control devices in use during the test; control device operating or monitoring parameters (including, as appropriate to the control device, flue gas flow rate, pressure drop, scrubber liquor pH, scrubber liquor flow rate, sorbent type and sorbent injection rate), and process parameters (such as oxygen).

The owner/operator of the EGU must certify that the fuel that was fired during testing is representative of the fuel that is burned routinely at the EGU. The owner/operator of the EGU must also certify that it operated all of the pollution control equipment in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications and requirements for proper operation during the emissions testing. Finally, the owner/operator of the EGU must certify that it operated its pollution control equipment to optimize reduction of the pollutants for which the equipment is designed.

*Method 29 in appendix A-8 to part 60 of this chapter can also be used for Hg, but follow the procedures for preparation of Hg standards and sample analysis in sections 13.4.1.1 through 13.4.1.3 of ASTM D6784-02 instead of the procedures in sections 7.5.33 and 11.1.3 of Method 29, and perform the QA/QC procedures in section 13.4.2 of ASTM D6784-02 instead of the procedures in section 9.2.3 of Method 29. The tester may also opt to use the sample recovery and preparation procedures in ASTM D6784-02 instead of the Method 29 procedures, as follows: sections 8.2.8 and 8.2.9.1 of Method 29 can be replaced with sections 13.2.9.1 through 13.2.9.3 of ASTM D6784‑02; sections 8.2.9.2 and 8.2.9.3 of Method 29 can be replaced with sections 13.2.10.1 through 13.2.10.4 of ASTM D6784-02; section 8.3.4 of Method 29 can be replaced with section 13.3.4 or 13.3.6 of ASTM D6784-02 (as appropriate); and section 8.3.5 of Method 29 can be replaced with section 13.3.5 or 13.3.6 of ASTM D6784-02 (as appropriate).

**If both mercury and other metals will be testing using EPA Method 29, the stack test company must be particularly diligent in the set-up and handling of the impingers to avoid cross contamination of the manganese from the permanganate into the metals catch. Alternately, the contractor may want to collect mercury using a train separate from the train used to collect the other metals.

***PM filterable is determined by including the cyclone catch.

****Also report scrubber recirculation liquid flow rate in liters/min and fuel feed rate in MMBTU/hr.

*****Just the 12 “dioxin-like” PCB congeners (see the WHO PCB Congener List)

******If a combustion unit has CEMS installed for CO, NO_x and/or SO₂, the unit can report daily averages from 30 days of CEMS data in lieu of conducting a CO, NO_x and/or SO₂ stack test. In order to correlate these emissions with other stack test emissions, a portion of the CEMS data should contain emissions data collected during performance of the other requested stack tests. The CEMS must meet the requirements of the applicable Performance Specification: CO – Performance Specification 4; NO_x and SO₂ – Performance Specification 2 and 40 CFR part 60.13 or the CEMS accuracy and ongoing QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR part 75.

2.0 Fuel Analysis Procedures and Methods

The EPA coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit test program is requesting fuel variability data for fuel-based HAP. The fuel analyses requested include: mercury, chlorine, fluorine, and metals (antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, phosphorus, and selenium) for any coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit that is selected to conduct a stack test.

You will need to conduct one fuel sample (comprised of three composite samples, each individually analyzed) of the fuel used during the stack test (one composite sample per test run).

Refer to page 1 of the Section 114 letter you received for the specific types of fuel analyses we are requesting from your facility. Directions for collecting, compositing, preparing, and analyzing fuel analysis data are outlined in Sections 2.1 through 2.4.

2.1 How to Collect a Fuel Sample

Table 2.1 outlines a summary of how samples should be collected. Alternately, you may use the procedures in ASTM D2234–00 (for coal) to collect the sample.

Table 2.1: Summary of Sample Collection Procedures

Sampling Location	Sampling Procedures	Sample Collection Timing
Solid Fuels
Belt or Screw Feeder	Stop the belt and withdraw a 6- inch wide sample from the full cross-section of the stopped belt to obtain a minimum two pounds of sample. Collect all the material (fines and coarse) in the full cross-section. Transfer the sample to a clean plastic bag for further processing as specified in Sections 2.2 through 2.5 of this document.	Each composite sample will consist of a minimum of three samples collected at approximately equal intervals during the testing period.
Fuel Pile or Truck	For each composite sample, select a minimum of five sampling locations uniformly spaced over the surface of the pile. At each sampling site, dig into the pile to a depth of 18 inches. Insert a clean flat square shovel into the hole and withdraw a sample, making sure that large pieces do not fall off during sampling. Transfer all samples to a clean plastic bag for further processing as specified in Sections 2.2 through 2.5 of this document.
Liquid Fuels
Manual Sampling	Follow collection methods outlined in ASTM D 4057
Automatic Sampling	Follow collection methods outlined in ASTM D4177
Fuel Supplier Analysis
Fuel Supplier	If you will be using fuel analysis from a fuel supplier in lieu of site specific sampling and analysis, the fuel supplier must collect the sample as specified above and prepare the sample according to methods specified in Sections 2.2 through 2.5 of this document.

2.2 Create a Composite Sample for Solid Fuels

Follow the seven steps listed below to composite each sample:

(1) Thoroughly mix and pour the entire composite sample over a clean plastic sheet.

(2) Break sample pieces larger than 3 inches into smaller sizes.

(3) Make a pie shape with the entire composite sample and subdivide it into four equal parts.

(4) Separate one of the quarter samples as the first subset.

(5) If this subset is too large for grinding, repeat step 3 with the quarter sample and obtain a one-quarter subset from this sample.

(6) Grind the sample in a mill according to ASTM E829-94, or for selenium sampling according to SW-846-7740.

(7) Use the procedure in step 3 of this section to obtain a one quarter subsample for analysis. If the quarter sample is too large, subdivide it further using step 3.

2.3 Prepare Sample for Analysis

Use the methods listed in Table 2.2 to prepare your composite samples for analysis.

Table 2.2: Methods for Preparing Composite Samples

Fuel Type	Method
Solid	SW-846-3050B or EPA 3050 for total selected metal preparation

Report the results of your fuel analysis according to the directions provided in section 3.0 of this enclosure.

3.0 How to Report Data

The method for reporting the results of any testing and monitoring requests depend on the type of tests and the type of methods used to complete the test requirements. This section discusses the requirements for reporting the data.

3.1 Reporting stack test data

If you conducted a stack test using one of the methods listed in Table 3.1, (Method 6C, Method 7E, Method 10, Method 17, Method 25A, Method 26A, Method 29, Method 101, Method 101A, Method 201A, Method 202) you must report your data using the EPA Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) Version 3. At present, only these methods are supported by the ERT. ERT is a Microsoft^® Access database application. Two versions of the ERT application are available. If you are not a registered owner of Microsoft^® Access, you can install the runtime version of the ERT Application. Both versions of the ERT are available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_tool.html. The ERT supports an Excel spreadsheet application (which is included in the files downloaded with the ERT) to document the collection of the field sampling data. After completing the ERT, will also need to attach an electronic copy of the emission test report (PDF format preferred) to the Attachments module of the ERT.

Table 3.1: List of Test Methods Supported by ERT

Method 201A

Method 17

Method 101A

Method 101

Method 10

CT Method 40

CT Method 39

OTM 27

OTM 28

If you conducted a stack test using a method not currently supported by the ERT, you must report the results of this test in a Microsoft^® Excel Emission Test Template. The Excel templates are specific to each pollutant and type of unit and they can be downloaded from {to be added later}. You must report the results of each test on appropriately labeled worksheet corresponding to the specific tests requested at your combustion unit. If more than one unit at your facility conducted a stack test using methods not currently supported by the ERT, you must make a copy of the worksheet and update the combustor ID in order to distinguish between each separate test. After completing the worksheet, you must also submit an electronic copy of the emission test report (PDF format preferred).

If you have CO CEMS that meets performance specification-4 or a SO₂ and/or NO_x CEMS that meets performance specification-2 installed at your combustion unit, and you used CEMS data to meet CO, SO₂ and/or NO_x test requirements at your facility, you must report daily averages from 30 days of CEMS data in a Microsoft^® Excel CEMS Template. The Excel templates are specific to each pollutant and type of unit and they can be downloaded from {to be added later}.

3.2 Reporting Fuel Analysis Data

If you conducted a fuel analysis, you must report the analysis results separately for each of the 12 samples in a Microsoft ® Excel Fuel Analysis Template. The fuel samples collected in conjunction with the stack test are comprised of three composite samples, each of which is analyzed separately. The remaining nine additional fuel samples are also comprised of three composite samples, but only the combined composite samples are analyzed. The Excel template can be downloaded from {to be added later}. If you conducted fuel analysis on more than one type of fuel used during testing, or for more than one combustion unit, you must make a copy of the worksheet and update the combustor ID and fuel type in each worksheet order to distinguish between the separate fuel analyses.

3.3 Required Fields for ERT Reporting

This section outlines the required data entry fields for the ERT in order to satisfy the requirements of this ICR test program. Appendix A {to be provided later} lists each field within the ERT and notes whether or not the field is required or optional.

4.0 How to Submit Data

You may submit your data in one of three ways as listed below. However, in order to avoid duplicate data and keep all data for a particular facility together, we request that you submit all of the data requested from your facility in the same way. To submit your data:

• E-mail an electronic copy of all requested files to {to be added later}

• If the files are too large for your e-mail system, you may upload the electronic files to a FTP site (see directions for FTP site procedures below)

• Mail a CD or DVD containing an electronic copy of all requested files to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter. If no electronic copy is available, mail a hard copy of all requested files to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter.

• If you are submitting Confidential Business Information (CBI), you must mail a separate CD or DVD containing only the CBI portion of your data to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter.

The steps below outline how to upload files to the FTP site by using “My Computer” as well as by using a FTP Client software.

5.0 Definitions

The following definitions apply to the coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit test plan methods:

Equivalent means:

(1) An equivalent sample collection procedure means a published voluntary consensus standard or practice (VCS) or EPA method that includes collection of a minimum of three composite fuel samples, with each composite consisting of a minimum of three increments collected at approximately equal intervals over the test period.

(2) An equivalent sample compositing procedure means a published VCS or EPA method to systematically mix and obtain a representative subsample (part) of the composite sample.

(3) An equivalent sample preparation procedure means a published VCS or EPA method that: Clearly states that the standard, practice or method is appropriate for the pollutant and the fuel matrix; or is cited as an appropriate sample preparation standard, practice or method for the pollutant in the chosen VCS or EPA determinative or analytical method.

(4) An equivalent procedure for determining heat content means a published VCS or EPA method to obtain gross calorific (or higher heating) value.

(5) An equivalent procedure for determining fuel moisture content means a published VCS or EPA method to obtain moisture content. If the sample analysis plan calls for determining metals (especially the mercury, selenium, or arsenic) using an aliquot of the dried sample, then the drying temperature must be modified to prevent vaporizing these metals. On the other hand, if metals analysis is done on an ‘‘as received’’ basis, a separate aliquot can be dried to determine moisture content and the metals concentration mathematically adjusted to a dry basis.

(6) An equivalent pollutant (mercury, TSM, or total chlorine) determinative or analytical procedure means a published VCS or EPA method that clearly states that the standard, practice, or method is appropriate for the pollutant and the fuel matrix and has a published detection limit equal or lower than the methods listed in this test plan.

Voluntary Consensus Standards or VCS mean technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business practices) developed or adopted by one or more voluntary consensus bodies. EPA/OAQPS has by precedent only used VCS that are written in English. Examples of VCS bodies are: American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), International Standards Organization (ISO), Standards Australia (AS), British Standards (BS), Canadian Standards (CSA), European Standard (EN or CEN) and German Engineering Standards (VDI). The types of standards that are not considered VCS are standards developed by: the U.S. States, such as California (CARB) and Texas (TCEQ); industry groups, such as American Petroleum Institute (API), Gas Processors Association (GPA), and Gas Research Institute (GRI); and other branches of the U.S. government, such as Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Transportation (DOT).

This does not preclude EPA from using standards developed by groups that are not VCS bodies within their rule. When this occurs, EPA has done searches and reviews for VCS equivalent to these non-EPA methods.

44 If emission testing recorded the emissions of filterable and condensable PM, separately, please include those separate emission results. Also, please include separate emission results for total PM, PM₁₀, and PM_2.5.

45 Metal HAP include compounds of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, phosphorus, and selenium; indicate emission level for all metal HAP for which an emission test has been conducted.

46 Please provide separate results for total Hg, elemental Hg, oxidized Hg, and particulate Hg, as available. If the emissions testing recorded the amount of unburned carbon in fly ash (as reflected by the “Loss of Ignition” [L.O.I.]) at the time of any Hg testing, please include these data.
