### Katy, the air preheater is integral to the boiler, so it will not be an addition al emission unit. Boiler D will

still only have one exhaust stream. The preheater just increases the efficiency of the boiler so that it will

meet the required 85% efficiency.

Thanks, Phil

### Hey Phil,

We will update our analysis for the $14 million. Also, I would like to confirm that the “additional air

preheater” is an integral part of the Boiler D emission unit and that the emissions from the air preheater

is routed to the exhaust stream from the boiler. If this is NOT the case and the air preheater is a

separate emis sions unit, we need to talk today, since the application has not indicated there are any

other emission units beyond Boiler D.

### Thanks,

Katy

### James, I don’t know if this information is too late, or if it will make a difference to your analysis, but I just

received updated information from the site.

The total estimated capital cost for Boiler D is $14 million. The additional cost came in because the

boiler manufacturer added an additional air preheater in order to meet the guaranteed 85% boiler

e fficiency.

Thanks, Phil

James, the capital costs for the Boiler D project will be at least 12 million. This cost does not include

some of the ancillary systems (wastewater treatment costs, etc), but is a good estimate. Please let us

know if you need any additional information.

### Dave,

As a follow up to my voicemail yesterday afternoon, I wanted to send an email because we have a last

minute, urgent request for a piece of information we’ll need for EPA’s BACT justification:

What is the estimated total capital cost for the Boiler D project?

If we could get this as soon as possible, we may be able to make our planned public notice date of Jan

23.

Thank you and we apologize for the late/rush request.
