20 $17,000 per year upper limit on monitoring and reporting cost, based on labor rate + time to perform estimate
22 Phone conversation with Eric Durrin (Bullseye) on 5/31/2016
23 Baghouse 1: currently online and handling 2 furnaces
24 Baghouse 2: being brought online now. Will handle 1 furnace and can later be connected to 1 more furnace
25 Baghouse 3: contractors are plumbing and connecting electrical. Will handle 11 furnaces.
26 Baghouse 4: in planning, will start after install and testing of baghouse 3. "Another large baghouse", so it may be same scale as Baghouse 3. After this baghouse is installed, the smaller baghouse 1 and 2 could be repurposed.
28 Eric was not able to say how many furnaces are large enough to be subject to 6S, so difficult to know how many baghouses are 'additional'.
29 Some furnaces are subject to 6S, and some baghouse would be required due to that. I think that estimating 1 additional baghouse is likely to be accurate. I could estimate zero to two.

1 Dispersion modeling cost estimate  
3 Phone conversation with Don Caniparoli of CH2M on 5/13/2016
5 air modeling can be done approximating the multiple stacks as one stack
6 parameters needed:    
7   emissions velocity and temperature
8   stack height  
9   mass emissions rate (g/hr)
10   topographic data (depends on model)
11   met data (depends on model
14 from simplest and most conservative to more complex:
15   $3k-5k SCREEN3 simplest screening model, EPA recommends AERSCREEN as its replacement
16   $10k AERSCREEN EPA recommended screening model
17   $20k AERMOD "full modeling", requires hourly met data
19 One approach is to go straight to AERMOD. Or, you could start with the simplest and move on if needed based on the results.
20 The modeling could tell you the maximum mass mass emissions rate (g/hr) that will keep the conc at the receptor below the required limit. So you could calculate your max production rate from that, for each pollutant.
21 The above costs are per-facility and not per-pollutant. It doesn't have to be run for each pollutant individually.
22 https://www3.epa.gov/scram001/dispersion_screening.htm
24 Summary cost:    
25 $10,000 low AERSCREEN only
26 $30,000 high AERSCREEN then AERMOD
29 Talked with Phil Allen at DEQ on 5/23/2016. He thought that the $10k for AERSCREEN, or $30k total for AERSCREEN + AERMOD sounded about right.

1 Source testing cost estimate
3 Talked with Thomas Rhodes at Horizon Environmental
4 Phone call 5/13/2016
6 $65k for three, 16-hr runs at the big Tier 2 manufacturers. (Their batch process takes ~16 hrs)
7 If they could do the standard shorter runs (three, 1-3hr runs) then that would be $10k to $15k.
9 The smaller manufacturers use a process that may take 4 days. If source testing had to take place over that entire 4 days, that would be approx $100k.
11 This is for DEQ method 5 testing at 1 stack. If multiple stacks had to be tested, that would almost be a multiple of the cost.
12 Total chrome and the other metals can all be tested with a single sample train.
13 If testing for Cr6, that requires a separate test run (with a separate sample train) so that would be another $65k.
15 Can't test for Cr6 at the same time as filterable particulate because Cr6 test requires recirculating a fluid to the tip of the sample intake. That fluid would wet and block the filter.
16 Can test for filterable particulate and metals (total Cr, Cd As etc) in a single sampling train, as long as you aren't testing for Cr6.
18 Talked with David Monro 5/16/2016
19 He used to work for a source testing company.
21 To test 99% baghouse filterable PM capture efficiency you don't need to measure an entire production run. You just need to compare the input vs the output over a time period long enough that detection limits allow you to demonstrate that if input is X, output is 0.01X. David estimates $4k to $6k for this kind of test if can be done with standard 1-hr runs.
22 To measure Cr3 conversion to Cr6 you'd need to source test over the entire production run, so that'd be 16hrs per run for the big facilities. David estimated $60k for Cr6 testing with 16 hr runs.
23 Tier 1 facilities that opt for source testing + modeliing would be testing for metals instead of PM. Their run length might be determined by modeling, which would show what detection limit was needed in order to show whether emissions were above / below source impact limits. David estimated this testing would be about $15k to $25k.
24 Tier 1 facilities that opt for source testing + modeling have the option to assume all Cr is Cr6 for modeling purposes. If they chose for some reason to test for Cr6 conversion their cost would also likely be about $60k.
26 Estimate from Don Caniparoli at CH2M on phone 5/24/2016
27 Based on a conversation with a CH2M coworker, Don estimated that a source test for filterable PM and metals (not Cr6) with short 1 to several hour runs would cost $15k.
29 Estimate from Eric Lovell on phone 5/31/2016
30 $56k for complete source test. I assume that means testing the control device meets 99% as well as Cr3 to Cr6 conversion.

1 Should legal and financing costs be included?
3 Phone conversation with Susan Fairchild at US EPA 6/6/2016
4 She was involved in EPA's NESHAP 6S rulemaking.
6 EPA does not include legal fees in the compliance cost estimate for a rule, but it does include costs for reading & understanding the rule
7 EPA annualizes the initial costs (for purchasing and installing a baghouse, for example), and that estimate includes estimated financing costs.
8 Susan suggested I contact Larry Sorrels, an EPA economist who can explain more about how that is done.
11 Phone conversation with Larry Sorrels, economist with the US EPA
12 US EPA does control equipment cost estimation using the EPA Air Pollution Control Cost Manual
13 https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/cost_manual.html
14 EPA converts capital costs to an annual cost over the assumed lifetime of the equipment.
15 For baghouses, they assume a 20-year life
16 EPA uses a 7% assumed interest rate, which is determined by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
17 Calculation uses a Capital Recovery Factor to annualize the one-time costs, according to a formula that uses equipment lifetime & interest rate.
18 There are examples in Section 1 Chapter 2 and in Section 6 Chapter 1.
