Thanks Mike,

Via Google Earth, Tolk is located about 9 miles on a heading of 106.5 degrees from Muleshoe, TX, or

9.3 miles on a heading of 343 degrees from Sudan, TX. It’s coordinates are 34 degrees 11’ 4” N, 102
degrees, 34’ 8” W. Do you have what you need for Monticello? I appreciate you help on this.

### We have not forgotten you it has taken the railro ads forever to get us a rate. Basically you can
consider trona in bulk rail to be about $100 - $10 5 per ton plus freight from Green River. The freight varies by location of course but more of less is $90 per ton. SO a very safe number to use for estimate is $200 per ton delivered. It co vers just about anywhere even in the coming years with increases.

If you need information on installed costs of sy stems or more information on performance, we can help. Based on our research from before CSAPR was vacated, we saw trona as a very viable solution to the problems. It is probably even easier if you are just looking at low levels

of removal.

Here is what we have so far by location:

Sorry that this is taking so long. UP was wo rking with a skeleton crew last week. Here

is what UP has for us so far:

Big Brown Power Plant4 (Luminant) - Served by BN. Waiting on confir mation from BN in order to get the rate

Farm to Market Road 2570, Fairfield, TX 75840

Coleto Creek Power Plant

(Suez) - Lon Hill, TX - UP offering $89.55/ton

45 FM 2987 Rd, Fannin, TX 77960

Monticello Power Plant

- UP offering $76.25/ton

Monticello Plant Rd, Mt Pleasant, TX 75455

Tolk Power Plant

- (Tolk Station) - Sudan, TX - Waiting on confirmation that this is the correct place before UP will quote

Muleshoe, TX

W A Parish Power Plant

- Smithers Lake, TX - UP quoting $86.73/ton

2500 Yu Jones Road Thompsons, TX 77481

If you can confirm the Tolk location I can get that rate from UP. I hope to have the Big

Brown rate tomorrow as well



### I will forward the other two when I get them. Let me know what else we can do to help

Hi Mike,

We’d spoken over the phone a couple of months ago on the subject of trona pricing to various coal fired units in Texa s. As part of our review of the Texas regional haze SIP, we are estimating the cost of DSI. If I were to give you the name of the units, would you be willing to provide an estimate of the per ton cost? To my knowledge, all of these un its either burn PRB or blend PRB and Texas lignite, so they have a RR spur th at could deliver the trona. As I would be using your response to in form our cost analysis, I would have to footnote it in our analysis and include your email in our docket. Thanks.
