SUBTASK I-C - INSTALLATION

Progress: The construction work has been broken into smaller contracts. This allows us to take advantage of d e r constructors who specialize m specific portions of the construction package. The progress in the various work being done on-site is discussed below.

The blacktop paving has been mstalled around the building.

The site trailer is scheduled for removal from the site on February 7, 1996.

Back charges, for the support and bracing changes to the baghouse, were requested twice fiom the baghouse vendor, Aeropulse. The end result is that the vendor refksed to pay anytbing since the changes were not necessary, ie., the vendor design was adequate by their calculations.

111. TASK TWO - Obtain Permits

Progress: DEP in November 1995. The plan approval was then extended to November 30, 1996.

The application for the extension of the Air Quality Plan Approval was sent to PA

A meeting was held with PA DEP on January 29, 1996 to c w the requirements of the air quality plan approval.

Problems: the installation of the equipment has begun.

None. Preparation for the PA DEP site review after construction has started since

Plans: Since the construction is not yet complete, the Plan Approval was extended again m November so that construction and mstallation can be completed. An inspection of the facility by PA DEP is planned for February.

IV. TASK THREE - Procure Coal, Limestone and Ash Disposal Contracts

Progress: Early in the project the coal, limestone and ash disposal contracts could not be halized because the initial supply date was in question due to NEPA approval related delays. Lebanon VA had received a supply proposal fiom Naughton Enera for coal, limestone and for ash disposal. During May 1994 the Lebanon VA set up a contract for procuring coal and limestone and for disposing of the generated ash when the facility is operational. Direnzo Coal Coqany is the ultimate supplier (subcontractor) of the coal and limestone. A limestone shipment was received at site m mid-January.

Problems: Naughton has a three-year contract (through September 1997) to supply the coal and limestone, and to dispose of the ash generated. The contract started m October 1994. From then until the time that the facility is operational, the right to purchase the coal and limestone and to dispose of ash is lost.

Plans: limestone systems.

Limestone and coal shipments will be obtained to do check outs of the coal and

I V. TASK FOUR - Conduct One Year Test Program

, Progress: This task will be performed after the installation, pre-startup check outs and startup/shakedown of the fscility have been completed. Stack testing and biospore testing are required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to demonstrate

performance and for the proof of DRE (destruction removal efficiency), respectively. At least one test of each type are required by PA DEP, however, more tests can be required. Due to funding limitations, only one or two stack tests or biospore tests can be performed. A test matrix will also be performed to demonstrate the performance and operation limitations of the CFB ficility and its emission levels.

Problems: None.

Plans: Spott, Stevens & McCoy was selected as the stack sampling vendor. Their h a l costs of the tests have been determined. ,SSM is also in the process of developing the protocol for the test ficility.

VI. TASK FIVE - Prepare Final Report

Progress: None. The report is due 3 months after the test program is completed.

Problems: None. The task is to be completed after the test program is finished.

Plans: Currently information has been gathered concerning the equipment and ficility. Preparation is being made to perform a matrix of tests that will demonstrate the performance and operation limits of the CFB system, quanti@ emission levels, identify problem areas and aid in pefiorming scale-up analyses for future commercial designs.

An air compressor will need to be purchased for the new facility. It was originaliy believed that the present system would be able to provide sufficient air quantities but the new facilities requirements are larger than originally anticipated. The cost of a 300 cfm air compressor rated at 110 psi was $21,015 (revised). The air is supplied for the pneumatic transport of limestone and ash, pneumatic slidegates and instrumentation.

An ash conditioner needed to be added to the contract. The Solid Waste Division of Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Resources requires that the ash be conditioned with water before transport. The ash conditioner was supplied at a cost of $59,804 (revised), including ducts and screw conveyors.

The cost of the ash handling storage and screw system has increased to $152,292 due to purchasing 22 NiHard 4 5 O elbows for pneumatic ash and limestone transport.

The bed cleaning system which processes the ash generated from the combustion of the coal, limestone and medical waste currently costs $26,114. The scope of the sand silo design has been reduced to a sand Yunnel," resulting in a cost reduction of $5,000 to $10,000. The cost of the sand funnel was $2925. The total cost of the bins: ash, limestone and coal has increased from $43,065 to an estimated $1 23,663.

Severe weather in December and January caused work delays to the project, especially to outside work

The fabrication and installation of the stack are complete. Only the insulation of the stack remains to be done.

Budget problems began to occur in late January. Correction of this situation should occur shortly in February or March.

A current schedule for the project is included with this report.
