Mr. Bryan Adams September 16, 2007 Page 3 Permit Application • Revise ERL's existing spreadsheet to calculate the potential emissions of criteria pollutants and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) for the proposed project. • Determine which type of permit amendment (insignificant, minor, moderate or major) is applicable to the proposed modification. To a great extent this depends on the calculated emission rates and the applicability of various state and federal regulations. • Complete the required MPCA permit amendment application forms. • Submit the draft permit amendment application to ERMU, ERL and WMI for review and comment. • Prepare a final permit amendment application by making one round of revisions to the draft application based on comments received following ERMU, ERL and WMI review. AERA • Meet with the MPCA risk assessment staff to negotiate a mutually acceptable approach to address the AERA program. It is assumed that the proposed project will not exceed either the PSD or EAW thresholds. For the AERA/RASS, it is possible that the meeting with the MPCA may result in more refined air dispersion modeling being needed. Once the AERA scope of work is defined, a refined cost estimate can be provided for that task. Schedule We anticipate that it will take no more than six weeks to prepare the draft permit amendment application. The schedule for the AERA/BASS work will depend on the outcome of the meeting with the MPCA risk assessment staff. For that reason, we recommend scheduling that meeting as soon as possible. Once the draft submittal(s) has (have) been prepared, we estimate an additional two weeks to prepare the final submittal(s), allowing adequate review time for ERMU, ERL and WMI personnel. Cost As shown in Table 1, we anticipate that the cost of preparing the permit amendment application will be approximately $5,000. The cost of the AERA work, as scoped above, is $1,200, which includes the cost of one Barr representative preparing for and attending the meeting with the MPCA at which the scope of work required by the MPCA for this project will be better defined.
