### Notes: Testing: Testing Costs were estimated by ERG Air Laboratory Staff in March 2009 and assume that the testing contractor will make a single trip to the facility to conduct all necessary tests. A basic range of testing costs was applied to various pollutants. Tests for PM (filterable) and CO could be completed with manual testing methods, and these manual methods were estimated to range from approximately $5,000

-$7,000. For the tests that involve more lab analysis (e.g., Hg), the testing costs were estimated to range from approximately $10,000

-$15,000. Although these cost ranges can be applied as is for cases where a single pollutant is being measured, estimating costs for facilities that need test data for more than one pollutant is more difficult and uncertain. For example, if a facility needs PM data and CO data, the test costs would not be twice the $5,000

-$7,000 range because some of the costs are associated with getting to the site and setting up the equipment. Such costs are one

-time costs and would not be duplicated no matter how many pollutants are to be tested). Therefore, if a facility had more than one of the simpler tests to run (e.g., PM and CO, then the site

-specific cost would start in the $5,000

-$7,000 with a few $1,000 added for subsequent pollutants. For units less than 100 mmBtu/hr, sources were expected to test for CO, and units greater than 100 mmBtu/hr were expected to monitoring CO emissions with a CO CEMS so the testing costs for CO were subtracted from the total testing costs. For liquid fuels, it was assumed that units would comply using a fuel analysis (or by receiving a certified fuel analysis from the fuel supplier for HCl and Hg), so the costs for these two tests for Hg and HCl were subtracted from the total testing costs. Fuel analysis was estimated to cost $600 per year, although some boilers my request that their fuel supplier submit fuel analysis documentation instead of conducting the analysis at the facility.

### Notes: 1. Monitoring costs have been rounded to the nearest $100 to be consistent with level of rounding in original costs. 2. Costs to be replaced include: (a) bag leak detector replacing opacity test; (b) CO CEMS replacing CO test and secondary chamber temperature monitor; (c) HCl CEMS replacing HCl test, HCl sorbent monitor (dry scrubbers) and scrubber liquor pH monitor (wet scrubbers); (d) PM CEMS replacing PM and opacity tests and and pressure drop monitor (wet scrubbers); (e) multi-metal/Hg CEMS replacing flue gas temperature monitor (wet scrubbers); (f) dioxin sorbent trap biweekly monitoring replacing fabric filter inlet temperature monitor; and (g) Hg sorbent trap biweekly monitoring replacing flue gas temperature monitor (wet scrubbers).
