OGULEI: Good afternoon. My name 17 is David Ogulei, and I am an environmental engineer 18 at the Chicago office of the US EPA. 19 Veolia ES Technical Solution's Sauget, 20 Illinois facility, or simply Veolia, is a treatment, 21 storage and disposal facility, which accepts wast e 22 for disposal through incineration. Veolia receives 23 containers and bulk shipments of hazardous solid, 24 liquid and gaseous wastes; analyzes and transfers 25 the waste to temporary storage facilities; andHEARING 12/3/2014

. 2 The waste that Veolia receives varies, and can 3 contain differing amounts of hazardous materials. 4 The Clean Air Act requires an operating 5 permit -- known as a Title V permit -- for 6 facilities that emit or have the capacity to emit 7 large amounts of air pollution, and for certain 8 types of facilities that must comply with specific 9 federal standards. Veolia is required to get a 10 Title V permit because it is a major source of 11 hazardous air pollutant emissions and is subject to 12 one of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous 13 Air Pollutants, or NESHAPs. This permit details the 14 amount of pollution the facility can emit and what 15 it must do to control the pollution. A Title V 16 permit is valid for five years and may be renewedin 17 five year increments. 18 As I will describe in more detail ina 19 few minutes, EPA is proposing to renew the Title V 20 operating permit for Veolia and here is the legal 21 background on that. 22 EPA issued a Title V permit to Veoli a 23 on September 12, 2008 and the permit became 24 effective on October 12, 2008. Prior to issuing the 25 permit, EPA reviewed historical metal feedrate dataHEARING 12/3/2014

The term "feedrate" describes 2 the amount of waste that Veolia burns in its 3 incinerators. Feedrate limits set the amount -- the 4 maximum amount of specific types of waste -- here, 5 heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, 6 arsenic, chromium and beryllium -- that Veolia can 7 feed into its incinerators per hour. EPA concluded 8 that the data provided by Veolia prior to issuance 9 of the 2008 permit was not reliable for determining 10 feedrate limits, (also called operating parameter 11 limits, or OPLs), for heavy metals. 12 Because EPA found the data unreliabl e, 13 EPA issued Veolia's permit without including 14 feedrate limits for mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, 15 chromium or beryllium. However, as required by the 16 federal regulations governing hazardous waste 17 incinerators, EPA included in the permit a 18 compliance schedule that required Veolia to test all 19 three incinerators to develop feedrate limits for 20 emissions of mercury, low-volatile metals (that i s 21 arsenic, chromium, and beryllium) and semi-volati le 22 metals (that is lead and cadmium). 23 Veolia conducted the required 24 comprehensive performance tests in August and 25 September of 2008. EPA reviewed the results, andinHEARING 12/3/2014

EPA later chose to simply incorporat e 3 the proposed changes into Veolia's permit renewal 4 that is the subject of today's public hearing. 5 So what is EPA proposing? EPA is 6 proposing to make changes to and renew the existing 7 Title V operating permit for Veolia. The proposed 8 permit contains all the emissions limitations and 9 standards to which Veolia is subject and will ensure 10 that there's enough monitoring and recordkeeping 11 required to verify that the source is in compliance 12 with permit requirements. 13 EPA is proposing to add the feedrate 14 limits for mercury, semi-volatile, and low volati le 15 metals that were omitted from the Veolia's 2008 16 permit and to update other operating parameter 17 limits as required by federal regulations for 18 hazardous waste incinerators. The feedrate limit s 19 that we are proposing to add to the permit were 20 established using the results of Veolia's October 21 2013 comprehensive performance tests, and Veolia is 22 already required to comply with the limits under the 23 NESHAP for hazardous waste incinerators. To ensure 24 compliance with these metal feedrate limits, EPA is 25 also proposing to improve Veolia's feedsteamHEARING 12/3/2014

The additional analysis 2 procedures proposed by EPA would supplement analys is 3 requirements for mercury, semi-volatile metals and 4 low volatile metals, as specified in Veolia's 5 feedstream analysis plan, known as a FAP, and would 6 supercede any less stringent provisions in the FAP
. 7 Incorporation of the additional 8 feedstream analysis procedures into the Title V 9 permit would not eliminate Veolia's obligation to 10 maintain an adequate FAP, consistent with federal 11 regulations for hazardous waste incinerators. 12 Additionally, EPA is proposing to 13 require Veolia to temporarily install and operatea 14 continuous emissions monitoring system for metals , 15 or multi-metals CEMS, on each of its three 16 incinerators. Veolia will operate the CEMSs as 17 parametric monitoring systems to assess whether the 18 operating parameter limits for specific metals are 19 adequate to ensure compliance with federal rules. 20 As parametric monitoring systems, the CEMSs will 21 verify the adequacy of the feedrate limits. The 22 CEMSs will test the air emitted during incinerati on 23 to determine that the amount of mercury, 24 semi-volatile metals, low volatile metals, and other 25 metals emitted, and will report resultsHEARING 12/3/2014

www.midwestlitigation.com Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334 MIDWEST LITIGATION SERVICES Page 14 1 approximately once every 15 minutes. 2 The test results will help the EPA and 3 Veolia ensure the feedrate limits in the permit are 4 adequate to protect air quality and to ensure 5 compliance with the NESHAP for hazardous waste 6 incinerators. EPA is proposing to require the 7 Veolia to operate the CEMSs for no less than 12 8 consecutive months or until EPA has enough 9 information to determine if the proposed feedrate 10 limits are adequate to ensure Veolia complies with 11 the Clean Air Act. 12 Once EPA has collected sufficient 13 information, EPA will no longer require Veolia to 14 use multi-metal CEMSs. 15 EPA is also proposing to remove some 16 requirements that no longer apply. For example, an 17 emission limit previously included in the permit to 18 meet federal standards for the boiler is no longer 19 applicable because EPA has promulgated new federal 20 standards that apply to the boiler. EPA, therefore, 21 would replace that emissions limit with the new 22 federal standards for boilers. 23 As Ms. Damico noted, we will not answer 24 any questions or respond to any comments today. 25 However, after the close of the comment period, weHEARING 12/3/2014

The community is subjected 10 to hazardous air emissions from Veolia and many 11 other industrial facilities in the vicinity. Thi s 12 fact makes it especially important that EPA 13 seriously consider the implications of Veolia's 14 hazardous air emissions as a contributory part toa 15 much larger whole. 16 Generally, ABC is pleased with the 17 changes EPA has proposed to Veolia's permit becau se 18 they will help protect the community from Veolia' s 19 hazardous air emissions: 20 Most significantly, ABC supports EPAin 21 its decision requiring Veolia to install and oper ate 22 a multi-metals Continuous Emissions Monitoring 23 System.

Although these incinerators are nearly 5 identical, when fed hazardous materials at the same 6 rate and in the same quantity they emit a 7 significantly different amount. This variability 8 casts doubt on the ability of a feedrate to 9 accurately correlate with rate of emissions. The 10 CEMS used as CPMS will help ensure that the new 11 feedrate limits for hazardous metals are compliant 12 with national emission standards, thereby protect ing 13 human health and the environment. We hope that 14 after 12 consecutive months of using the CEMS as a 15 CPMS, Veolia will come to appreciate its utility and 16 petition to continue using it for compliance 17 monitoring. 18 ABC is pleased that EPA has finally 19 incorporated feedrate limits for mercury, low and 20 semi-volatile metals based on the most recent 21 Comprehensive Performance Test. Veolia has 22 unfortunately been operating without these limits 23 since the last permit was issued in 2008.

Because of the emissions of mercury, 5 low and semi-volatile metals are the most hazardou s 6 to human health and the environment, it is important 7 to ABC that there are accurate feedrate limits for 8 the metals. 9 Lastly, ABC is happy that EPA will 10 require Veolia to perform enhanced feedstream 11 analysis for mercury and low and semi-volatile 12 metals. Currently, Veolia only tests about ten 13 percent of the waste fed into its incinerators. 14 Instead, it relies on broad profiles generated by 15 waste-generating companies. Considering the 16 variability in emissions from Veolia's incinerators, 17 sampling just ten percent of the waste feed is not 18 adequate to accurately characterize the waste that 19 it burns. Veolia will now be required to test 20 everything it feeds into the incinerators for 21 mercury and low and semi-volatile metals, which ABC 22 feels it should have been doing all along. 23 In addition to these improvements, ABC 24 would like to see EPA require that Veolia install 25 and operate an activated carbon injection system onHEARING 12/3/2014

Our written comment will 2 discuss this in greater detail, but ABC feels that 3 having activated carbon injection systems will help 4 mitigate the variability in mercury emissions from 5 these identical units, as evidenced by the most 6 recent Comprehensive Performance Test. Carbon 7 injection will help ensure compliance with mercury 8 emission limits despite this variability, as it 9 significantly reduces mercury emissions. 10 Lastly, ABC has concerns about some 11 provisions in the renewal permit that are unclear
. 12 We will discuss these in greater detail in our 13 written comment. 14 Overall, ABC would like to see the 15 permit be implemented with the current changes 16 intact: The Permit should require the use of a CEMS 17 as a CPMS for 12 months, enhanced feedstream 18 analysis procedures for mercury and low and 19 semi-volatile metals, and feedrate limits for the se 20 metals as determined by the 2014 CPT results. 21 Thank you for consideration of our 22 comments. 23 MS.
