Adams, Bryan <br />From: Paul Taylor [ptaylor@barr.com] <br />Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 12:11 PM <br />To: Adams, Bryan; Walters, Debra <br />Subject: Elk River: Draft Proposal for Air Permitting of Second LFG-to-Energy Plant <br />Attachments: Proposa12007-09-14.doc <br />Bryan/Deb: <br />Please find attached a draft proposal for the project referenced above. This is an edited version of the proposal I e-mailed 7/3/07, <br />updated to reflect the revised project (the 7/3/07 proposal assumed the addition of 2 engines; the attached proposal assumes the <br />addition of up to 8 engines). <br />Note that the cost of preparing the permit application (Task 1) remains unchanged at $5,000. However, I have reduced the cost <br />associated with the AERA (Task 2) by reducing the scope to simply preparing for and attending a meeting with the MPCA. Given our <br />recent experience with the Spruce Ridge landfill, I believe this is the most appropriate way to proceed. As stated in the proposal, I <br />would prepare afollow-up cost estimate after the meeting with the MPCA once the scope of work is better defined. By the time we're <br />all done, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost reaches $25,000. <br />Also note that the proposal assumes that the proposed project will not trigger federal PSD permitting. I believe this is a reasonable <br />assumption for the reasons stated in the proposal. However, if it turns out that PSD is triggered, the costs will skyrocket (we're talking <br />at least $100,000 and many PSD projects reach $1,000,000). <br />Please review the attached and let me know if anything is unclear. I will then finalize the letter and put a hard copy in the mail. <br />Thanks. <br />Paul Taylor, Ph.D. <br />Air Quality Engineer <br />Barr Engineering Company <br />4700 West 77th Street <br />Minneapolis, MN 55435-4803 <br />Tel: 952-832-2671 (direct) <br />Fax: 952-832-2601 <br />e-mail: pta~r(c~,barr.com <br />This e-mail and files transmitted with it are the property of Barr Engineering Company, are confidential and are intended solely jor the use of the individual or entity to whom this <br />e-mail is addressed.
