# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: All right. Good

2 

# morning, everyone. My name is Bradley Halloran,

3 

# I’m Hearing Officer with the Illinois Pollution

4 

# Control Board. I’m also assigned to this case.

5 

# It’s docketed PCB 13—24. The caption reads Midwest

6 

# Generation, LLC, Petitioner, versus the Illinois

7 

# Environmental Protection Agency, and they’re the

8 

# Respondents.

9 

# This is a matter regarding petition

10 

# for air variance. And before I forget, it’s my

11 

# pleasure to introduce our board members that are

12 

# sitting up front. We have Member Zalewski,

13 

# Member Burke, Member Glosser and Member O’Leary.

14 

# We also have

-— 

# from our technical unit we have

15 

# Alisa Liu, Anand Rao. We also have a staff

16 

# attorney here, Daniel Robertson, and we have one of

17 

# our interns, Ethan Presley. So I think we’re

18 

# pretty well represented, and I appreciate them

19 

# coming.

20 

# And I want to ask you when we take

21 

# breaks or lunch or something not to approach the

22 

# people I just mentioned. If you have any

23 

# questions, direct them towards me. That will be

24 

# very helpful. Thank you. I will note that this

# Page 5

1 

# notice

-- 

# that this hearing was noticed up pursuant

2 

# to the board’s regulations, procedural rules and

3 

# the act itself. The hearing will be conducted in

4 

# accordance with Sections 104.200 and 101 of the

5 

# board’s procedural rules.

6 

# I will also note for the record that

7 

# I will not be making the ultimate decision in the

8 

# case. The decision is left up to the five board

9 

# members. What they’ll do is take a look at the

10 

# record, the transcript, post-hearing briefs, and

11 

# most certainly the public comments that come in.

12 

# My job here is to make a clean

13 

# record and to rule on any evidentiary matters. The

14 

# board welcomes public comments. I note that there

15 

# are members of the public present. I don’t know,

16 

# probably 100 or so. But in any event, there is a

17 

# sheet on the podium. You can sign up and we can

18 

# discuss that later. But

-- 

# or you can send a

19 

# written comment into the board.

20 

# But what we’ll do, we have five

21 

# elected

-- 

# five or six elected officials. They

22 

# will give their comment first, because I think they

23 

# have to go back to Springfield or parts unknown and

24 

# go about their business. And then what we’ll do is

# Page 6

1 

# start with Midwest Gen’s case in chief

—- 

# well, the

2 

# parties will introduce themselves and they’ll start

3 

# with the case in chief.

4 

# And if anybody else has pressing

5 

# business, just raise your hand, and I 

# can put you

6 up right after the elected officials speak. That

7 

# shouldn’t be a problem. If not, we’ll take a break

8 

# in a couple of hours and then you come tell me and

9 

# we might take some public comments then if you have

10 

# to leave early.

11 

# I think that’s about it for now. I

12 

# think without further adieu, I would like to have

13 

# the parties introduce themselves, starting with

14 

# Midwest Gen.

15 

# MS. BASSI: Thank you, Mr. Halloran. My name

16 

# is Kathleen Bassi, I’m with Schiff Hardin,

17 

# representing Midwest Generation, and with me from

18 

# Schiff are Steve Bonebrake and Andy Sawula, and

19 

# Chris Foley from Midwest Generation has also

20 entered his appearance on behalf of Midwest Gen in

21 

# this proceeding. Mr. Bonebrake will offer an

22 

# opening comment, and at the appropriate time I will

23 

# introduce our exhibits.

24 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you,

# Page 7

1 Ms. Bassi. Before I forget, our court reporter

2 reminded me if she raises her hand, just please

3 stop and state your name. That would be a great

4 

# help to everyone.

5 

# In any event, so Midwest Gen has

6 introduced themselves. IEPA. Dana.

7 

# MS. VETTERHOF’FER: My name is Dana

8 Vetterhoffer, I’m an Assistant Counsel for Illinois

9 

# EPA, and with me today is Jim Ross, Manager of the

10 Division of Air Pollution Control and the Bureau of

11 

# air at EPA?

12 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you,

13 

# Ms. Vetterhoffer. So I think what we’ll do now is

14 

# have the elected officials come up, and I think the

15 

# podium microphone is on, and they can state their

16 comments as they so choose. Good morning, sir.

17 SENATOR McGUIRE: Good morning. I’m Pat

18 McGuire, State Senator for the 43rd District.

19 

# Welcome to Joliet and the 43rd District. I

20 appreciate the opportunity to participate in

21 

# today’s hearing.

22 I’m here as Illinois State Senator

23 for the 43rd District to register my official

24 support for Midwest Generation’s request to you,

# Page 8

1 

# the Illinois Pollution Control Board, for

2 

# temporary relief from certain State of Illinois air

3 

# pollution requirements.

4 

# Similar to many in this industry,

5 

# Midwest Generation is experiencing financial

6 

# difficulties. At the same time it is required to

7 

# make additional capital investments to meet new air

8 

# quality regulations. The temporary relief Midwest

9 

# Generation is seeking would allow Midwest

10 

# Generation the flexibility it needs to achieve the

11 

# following:

12 

# First, its long—term commitment to

13 

# meeting air quality regulations. Second, the

14 

# reliable supply of electricity to millions of

15 

# Illinois households, businesses and other

16 

# institutions.

17 

# Third, the continued employment of

18 

# hundreds of area residents, including many I

19 

# represent. And, finally, the payment of valuable

20 

# property taxes to our schools, municipalities and

21 

# other units of local government.

22 

# For all those above reasons, I

23 

# respectfully urge the Illinois Pollution Control

24 

# Board to approve Midwest Generation’s request for

# Page 9

1 

# temporary relief. Thank you for allowing me to

2 

# register my comments.

3 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you,

# Senator.

# REPRESENTATIVE WALSH, JR.: Good morning.

6 I’m Larry Walsh, Jr., State Representative for the

7 

# 86th District. Good morning, honorable members and

8 staff of the Illinois Pollution Control Board.

9 

# As I said, my name is Larry Walsh,

10 

# Jr., and I’m the state representative for Joliet

11 

# area, and I represent the Joliet station, which is

12 

# owned by Midwest Generation, and I represent

13 

# hundreds of men and women whose livelihood is

14 

# dependent on the continued operations of Midwest

15 

# Generation.

16

18

# CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WALSH, SR:

2 Good morning, everyone. I too am Larry Walsh, and

3 

# I’m proud to say I’m the father of Larry Walsh,

4 

# Jr., that is our State Representative. I am the

5 

# Will County Executive, Chief Executive Officer for

6 county government here in Will County.

7 

# Midwest Generation has asked the

8 Illinois Pollution Control Board for temporary

9 

# relief from state regulations, ensuring ongoing

10 

# reductions in air emissions at the company’s plants

11 

# from 2008 to 2019. The company is only asking to

12 

# reduce, not eliminate spending on environmental

13 

# improvements for two years of that 12-year-period.

14 

# Midwest Generation has been meeting

15 

# all of its environmental conunitments under state

16 

# regulations since 2008. Even with the requested

17 

# relief known as a variance, it would meet all

18 

# requirements by the time the state program ends in

19 

# 2019. Due to financial hardships caused by

20 

# depressed energy prices, debt requiring a financial

21 

# restructuring and substantial capital expenses

22 

# needed to meet new regulations, Midwest Generation

23 

# is requesting a variance in 2015 and 2016.

24 

# Midwest Generation is not asking to

# Page 13

1 

# avoid installing pollution controls. Rather we are

2 

# asking that we be allowed to delay about

3 

# $200 million dollars in capital projects from 2013,

4 

# 2014 by getting modest relief from the regulations

5 

# that would take effect in 2015, 2016.

6 

# This delay will give Midwest

7 

# Generation an opportunity to conserve cash while

8 

# the company works through their ongoing bankruptcy

9 

# case. The company will reduce emissions in 2013

10 

# and 2014 so that there will be less emissions than

11 

# required by the current standard through 2016.

12 

# Midwest Generation will still meet

13 

# all current requirements in 2013, 2014, and 2017 to

14 

# 2019. Midwest Generation employs 850 men and women

15 

# in Illinois. 65 percent of them union. The Joliet

16 

# station and the Will County station employs 425

17 

# workers. 80 percent are union members.

18 

# The annual salary from wages and

19 

# benefits for the Joliet and Will County plants is

20 

# $50 million dollars. The Joliet and Will County

21 

# plants provide $1.7 million dollars in annual local

22 

# property taxes. In 2011 Midwest Generation donated

23 

# mor.

24 

# E than $275,000 to local charities

# Page 14

1 

# and nonprofit agencies in Will County. The Joliet

2 

# facility provides power to more than one million

3 

# homes and businesses daily.

4 

# Since Midwest Generation acquired

5 

# the Joliet and Will County plants in 1999, they

6 have constantly improved the environmental

7 

# performance of their operations.

8 

# They have invested $200 million

9 

# dollars since 2000 to make the plants cleaner and

10 

# safer, including the installation of leading edge

11 

# technology to reduce emissions of mercury by more

12 

# than 90 percent.

13 

# I ask the board for their

14 

# consideration. I think together, working in

15 

# collaboration, we can get the job done. The

16 

# commitment from Midwest Generation is there. We

17 

# just need a little time, and at the end both the

18 

# plant and our community and Will County will be

19 

# better off. Thank you, very much.

# Page 16

1 

# about here today? We’re talking about the

2 

# livelihood of hundreds of Illinois workers and the

3 

# health and well-being of their families. I’m a

4 

# 35-year member of the IBEW and I know what it’s

5 

# like to be laid off and without a paycheck.

6 

# It’s difficult to sit with your

7 

# family and explain when you’re going to go back to

8 

# work. And we all know there’s been hard economic

9 

# times in this nation and in this state. And when

10 

# industries close or substantially reduce their

11 

# operations, they eliminate jobs.

12 

# So here we have a situation where if

13 

# we do the right thing, we can have and retain good

14 

# jobs in Illinois, jobs that support families. In

15 

# approving this variance, we can keep industrial

16 

# jobs in our state. I hope you will take advantage

17 

# of this opportunity.

18 

# Finally, I’d just like to make a

19 

# point about an issue we care a lot of about, and

20 

# that’s the issue of fairness. Just a few months

21 

# ago the Illinois AFL-CIO played a small part in

22 

# supporting Amron in a similar variance.

23 

# In fact, the only real difference

24 

# between that variance and the one before you today

# Page 17

1 

# is that Midwest Generation isn’t asking for the

2 

# size and scope that Amron received.

3 

# So with these points in mind, I

4 

# respectfully urge this board to grant the temporary

5 

# relief requested by Midwest Generation. Thank you,

6 

# verb much.

7 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you,

8 

# Mr. Carrigan.

9 

# Anybody else on the elected official

10 

# who list would like to speak? You know, before I

11 

# forget, I’m remiss. I wanted to thank Joliet

12 

# Junior College. They’ve been over the top beyond

13 

# reproach accommodating us for this hearing, and I

14 

# really want to thank them, and in particular Karen

15 

# Randolph and, I think Jeff Fisher, and there is a

16 

# Jeff Rush.

17 

# But in any event

-- 

# and I do notice

18 

# there are about 30 people standing along the wall.

19 

# I don’t know if there is

-- 

# I know there’s enough

20 

# chairs. Is there enough room for the chairs?

21 

# Would you like to sit? There’s some folding chairs

9 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Wait. I’m sorry,

10

# OPENING STATEMENT

15 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: Good morning, Mr. Hearing

16 Officer, members of the board and board staff. My

17 

# name is Steve Bonebrake, I’m one of the attorneys

18 for Midwest Generation, the petitioner in this

19 matter.

20 We are here today on Midwest

21 

# Generation’s petition for a variance from two

22 elements of the Illinois Combined Pollutant

23 Standard, commonly referred to as the CPS.

24 The first is Midwest Generation’s

# Page 19

1 

# request for relief from the 2015 and 2016 S02

2 

# sulfur dioxide system emission rates. Second, is a

3 

# request for variance from emission control

4 

# equipment requirements specified by the CPS for

5 

# Waukegan Unit 8.

6 

# Relatedly, Midwest Generation is

7 

# also seeking relief from a prior board variance

8 order in matter No. PCB 12—121, in which the board

9 

# required compliance with the CPS S02 system

10 

# emission rates. That prior board variance order

11 

# related only to relief for the Waukegan unit

12 

# center.

13 

# Midwest Generation filed its

14 

# petition for variance on November 30th 2012. On

15 

# January 8th 2013, Midwest Generation made an

16 

# informational filing with the board, informing the

17 

# board that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

18 

# following the filing of its variance petition with

19 

# the board.

20 

# On January 18th 2013, Midwest

21 

# Generation filed responses to a first set of

22 

# questions from the board. On January 25th 2013,

# continue to comply with original limits of the rule

2 

# in 2013 and 14, even if this variance is granted.

3 

# And after that only the sulfur dioxide emission

4 

# rates would be altered and only for two years, 2015

5 

# and 2016, during which time an alternative rate in

6 

# the new mass emission limitation would apply.

7 

# We filed this petition because we

8 

# concluded that securing what we considered to be a

9 

# very limited variance will put us in the best

10 

# possible position to make some very tough decisions

11 

# about investments that we can make, operations that

12 

# we can sustain, and the living wage jobs of hard

13 

# working men and women that we can preserve.

14 

# We are a company that is undergoing

15 

# a financial restructuring through the Chapter 11

16 

# bankruptcy process. Due to the CPS, we face near

17 

# term decisions that we need to begin making almost

18 

# immediately with respect to investing hundreds of

19 

# millions of additional dollars in capital

20 

# investments in pollution controls.

21 

# We adhere to five principles in

22 

# developing this petition. Principles that were

23 

# tended to respect spirited and intent of the CPS

24 

# and support the objectives of the Illinois and

# Page 26

1 

# U. S. Environmental Protection Agencies to protect

2 

# the public health and the environment. And,

3 

# obviously, also to satisfy the criteria this board

4 

# has for granting a variance.

5 

# First, in no way, shape or form do

6 

# we seek a free pass. Even with the variance, we

7 

# will be investing in the design, planning and/or

8 

# the installation of pollution control equipment

9 

# every year through 2019, just as we have done every

10 

# year since the CPS was adopted in 2007. Second, we

11 

# do not seek to extend the timeline of the CPS or

12 

# relax the emission limits that will be in effect

13 

# when the CPS is fully implemented in 2019.

14 

# In contrast, last year Amron came

15 

# before this board and was granted five additional

16 

# years to achieve a required emission rate and three

17 

# additional years to complete what is known as their

18 

# multi—pollutant standard, which was negotiated and

19 

# adopted around the same time as the CPS.



# 20 The third principle is that we

21 

# respect that the state must demonstrate attainment

22 

# with national ambient air quality standards of the

23 

# U.S. EPA, and that emission reductions under the

24 

# CPS will be a component, an important component of

# Page 27

1 

# such demonstrations.

2 

# With that in mind, we only seek the

3 

# variance for 2015 and 2016, and then we will catch

4 

# up, if you will, and resume compliance with the

5 

# original limits of the CPS 

# in 2017 as an

6 

# intentional construct to support the state’s

7 

# anticipated need to demonstrate attainment in 2017

8 

# with new federal standards for sulfur dioxide and

9 

# particular emissions, as well as regional haze.

10 

# The fourth principle, we respect

11 

# past precedent set by the EPA and this board that a

12 

# petitioner for a variance must demonstrate a net

13 

# environmental benefit. We have done this by

14 

# committing to a compliance plan which guarantees

15 

# that our actual tons of emissions of sulfur dioxide

16 

# for the years 2013 through 2016 will be lower under

17 

# the variance than would have occurred under an

18 

# anticipated business as usual case when the CPS was

19 

# adopted.

20 

# The same goes for all other

21 

# pollutants, mercury, hydrogen oxide, particulate

22 

# matter, carbon dioxide.

23 I 

# would also note that in its

24

10

# Crawford Station Units 7 and 8 in 2015 and 2016.

16 

# This is now a requirement for the CPS under the

# Waukegan 7 variance approved by the board last

19 

# Finally, the board asked additional

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Mr. Bonebrake, is

10 

# that your direct so far?

11 MR. BONEBRAKE: That’s correct, Mr. Halloran,

12 

# sir.

13 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Ms. Vetterhoffer,

14 

# any cross of Mr. McFarlan?

15 MS. VETTERHOFFER: No.

16 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: I think what I’ll

17 

# do now, I’ll ask the members if they have any

18 questions, and if not I’ll ask it to you.

19 

# Members, do you have any questions

20 

# of Mr. McFarlan?

21 

# MS. LIU: Good morning, Mr. McFarlan. Thank

22 you so much for your testimony for addressing all

23 of those issues so well.

24 MR. McFARLAN: Thank you.

# Page 47



# 1 MS. LIU: I was wondering if you could repeat

2 

# your answer to the question No. 4 of the

3 

# January 25th 2013 Hearing Officer order. You

4 

# discussed it in your testimony, but I’m not sure

5 

# that I was quite clear on the answer.

6 

# The question was, Does Midwest

7 

# Generation intend to also commit to not operating

8 

# Crawford Unit 7 and 8 in 2015 and 2016 as a

9 

# condition of the variance requested here?

10 

# MR. McFARLAN: Yes. As I stated in the

11 

# variance that was granted in the Waukegan Unit 7

12 

# case last year by this board, there was a condition

13 

# in that variance that required that the Crawford

14 

# plant not be run after the end of 2014. So,

15 

# obviously, that would cover 2015, 2016. There’s

16 

# nothing we’re doing here that changes that. So

17 

# that condition still applies, and the CPS Crawford

18 

# cannot run after 2014 under the CPS.

19 

# MS. LIU: Would that be all right to include

20 

# that as a condition of the variance that you’re

21 

# requesting here?

22 

# MR. McFARLAN: I really see no problem with

23 

# that.

24 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: I think that is consistent

# Page 48

1 

# with the prior variance order, so I don’t

2 anticipate we would have an objection to doing so.

3 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: That was

4 

# Ms. Alisa Liu, and Mr. Bonebrake just spoke as

5 

# well.

6 Mr. Bonebrake, any redirect?

7 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: No, Mr. Halloran. And then

8 if we have no further questions, I would propose

9 

# that we call Mr. Petmecky next to testify.

10 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Very well. Thank

11 

# you. Raise your right hand, the court reporter

12 will swear you in.

13 

# (witness sworn.)

14 BY MR. PETMECKY: Good morning, my name is

15 

# William Petmecky. I am the Vice President and

16 

# Treasurer of Edison Mission Energy, which I will

17 

# refer to as EME. EME is the indirect parent

18 corporation of Midwest Generation.

19 I am responsible for treasury

20 activities, including corporate and project

21 financing, financial planning and analysis, cash

22 management and treasury operations.

23 I have financial experience in the

24 electric industry, including 18 years of experience

# Page 49

1 

# in a variety of positions with EME and its

2 

# affiliates, including its parent, Edison

3 

# International.

4 

# The purpose of my testimony today is

5 

# to explain Midwest Generation’s current financial

6 

# hardship, which necessitates a variance in the

7 

# Illinois Combined Pollution Control Standards or

8 

# CPS air emission limits in years 2015 and 2016, and

9 

# an extension of the Waukegan Unit 8 emission

10 

# controls installation deadline. November of last

11 

# year I submitted an affidavit which addressed these

12 

# issues.

13 

# Specifically, I will address work

14 

# topics. First, the cost of work under the CPS.

15 

# Second, possible sources to fund this work and why

16 

# those sources are not currently available today.

17 

# Third, how Midwest Generation’s financial situation

18 

# has changed since 2007 and when it opted into CPS.

19 

# And, fourth, ways in which a temporary two—year

20 

# pause in the pace of CPS rates step down will allow

21 

# Midwest Generation to obtain the funds required to

22 

# install the additional S02 controls to comply with

23 

# CPS.

24 

# So, first, I’d like to talk about

# Page 50

1 

# the cost of work required under CPS. The total

2 

# cost of complying with CPS is forecast to be just

3 

# over $1 billions dollars. Of this amount we have

4 

# already spent about $200 million dollars.

5 

# Therefore we estimate the remaining cost to be

6 

# about $850 million dollars.

7 

# Over the next two years, 2013

8 

# and 14, assume that we do have no CPS variance, we

9 

# expect that we’ll need to spend about a half a

10 

# billion dollars, and that will get us work

11 

# compliant through 2016.

12 

# This spending can be separated into

13 

# two parts. About half of the spending needs to be

14 

# spent to comply with the CPS S02 emission rates for

15 

# 2013 and 2014, so the immediate term things, and to

16 

# satisfy specific control requirements for Waukegan

17 

# Unit 7. In addition, we’ll perform some

18 

# engineering and other work on other units.

19 

# The other half of the money that

20 

# needs to be spent to assure compliance with CPS S02

21 

# emission rates for 2015 and 2016 and to complete

22 

# the installation of equipment to satisfy the

23 

# Waukegan Unit 8 F’GD work. It is the second set of

24 

# costs that are at issue in this petition.

# Page 51

1 

# As Doug McFarlan just explained in

2 

# his comments, our request for a variance is guided

3 

# by five principles. One, it’s no free pass. Two,

4 

# it does not extend the overall timeline or relax

5 

# the ultimate emission limits. Three, it does not

6 

# interfere with attainment of the National Ambient

7 

# Air Quality Standards. Four, it offers a net

8 

# environmental benefit. And, five, it 

# adds an

9 

# additional layer of requirements to the CPS.

10 

# And very importantly

-- 

# and I put an

11 

# emphasis on this

—- 

# that we will continue to be in

12 

# compliance with the original limits of the rule in

13 

# 2013 and 14. That is why our request for a

14 

# variance relates only to the second set of the

15 

# cost, those for 2015 and 2016.

16 

# It is important to note that Midwest

17 

# Generation would need to have funding for these

18 

# controls in place no later than April of this year

19 

# in order to move forward with the construction work

20 

# on schedule to comply with the 2015 and 16 rates.

21 

# This brings me to my second topic.

22 

# How we can pay for this work or typical sources of

23 

# funding and why those sources of funding are

24 

# currently not available for the 2015 and 16

# Page 52

1 

# compliance.

2 

# Before I discuss the specific

3 

# funding options, I’d like to remind you, as Doug

4 

# mentioned, that when I filed my affidavit in

5 

# November, I explained that because of depressed

6 

# energy and capacity prices and high fuel costs,

7 

# Midwest Generation may need to file for protection

8 

# under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Court.

# On December 17th of last year that’s

10 

# exactly what happened. EME and Midwest Generation

11 

# filed for bankruptcy protection. It’s important to

12 

# know that we filed under Chapter 11, which means we

13 

# intend to operate through and after the bankruptcy

14 

# process. Also, bankruptcy provides a forum for us

15 

# to work with our creditors to resolve our debts,

16 

# including $3.7 billion dollars upon us.

17 

# While I cannot provide you with a

18 

# date from which we will emerge from bankruptcy, I

19 

# can say this is a complicated process and it could

20 

# take as much as two years.

21 

# Now, keep this backdrop in mind as I

22 

# discuss the following funding sources.

23 

# Historically Midwest Generation’s costs were funded

24 

# by either Midwest Gen operations or Midwest Gen’s

# Page 53

1 

# parent, EME. Two additional possible funding

2 

# sources have historically included EME’s parent,

3 

# Edison International and third party lenders, such

4 

# as banks. However, none of these sources are

5 

# currently available to supply funding for all the

6 

# current necessary spending. I’ll go through each

7 

# one of those four one by one quickly.

8 

# First, we try to recover all of our

costs through Midwest Gen operations. However,

10 

# Midwest Gen expects to incur operating losses this

11 

# year and next because of low revenues from low

12 

# energy and capacity prices. We have high costs,

13 

# and that means reduced output.

14 

# Even though Midwest Generation is

15 

# working hard to manage through and improve the

16 

# situation, during the next two years Midwest Gen

17 

# will not be able to fund all the retrofits without

18 

# external support. Midwest Generation simply cannot

19 

# generate the cash to fund the retrofits necessary

20 

# for 2015 and 16 compliance.

21 

# Next, we look to Midwest Gen’s

22 

# parent, EME for funding, but as I just explained,

23 

# EME recently filed for bankruptcy. Midwest Gen is

24 

# not contractually entitled to receive funding from

# Page 54

1 

# EME, and EME has its own creditors, including $3.7

2 

# billion dollars of unsecured bonds, which will

3 

# likely own a majority of EME’s equity after

4 

# restructuring.

5 

# Therefore, not until EME and Midwest

6 

# Generation can formulate a plan of reorganization

7 

# that demonstrates long-term viability and to

8 

# resolve our past debts will we be situated to

9 

# better address the cost of environmental retrofits

10 

# for compliance in 2015 and 2016.

11 

# In fact, a significant monetary

12 

# contribution from EME before such a plan is

13 

# formulated will be met with resistance from EME

14 

# creditor’s base. Another way to think of it is

15 

# this, until our past debts are resolved, major

16 

# funding for costs associated with future benefits

17 

# will be very difficult.

18 

# Bringing us to our third source of

19 

# funding. In certain situations upstream parents

20 

# make investments into subsidiaries. In this case

21 

# that upstream parent is Edison International.

22 

# However, even before the bankruptcy filing, Edison

23 

# International has stated that it will not put money

24 

# into EME. Under the contemplated bankruptcy plan,

# Page 55

1 

# in fact, Edison International will no longer own

2 

# the equity of EME’s fund completion of the

3 

# bankruptcy proceedings.

4 

# Which brings us to raising funds

5 

# from outside the company from third party lenders,

6 such as banks. Lenders may be very reluctant to

7 

# provide long-term loans to Midwest Generation until

8 

# we have consummated or at least proposed a plan

9 

# that demonstrates financial viability of Midwest

10 

# Generation into the long term.

11 

# In summary, because of the current

12 

# market conditions which have led EME and Midwest

13 

# Gen’s bankruptcies in the near term it will be very

14 

# difficult for us to get funding for the environmental

15 

# retrofits to comply with 2015 and 2016 CPS



# 16 requirements.

# BY MR. McCLUSKEY: Good morning, Members

8 O’Leary, Burke, Zalewski and Glosser, Hearing

9 Officer Halloran.

10 

# My name is Fred McCluskey, and I am

11 

# Vice President of Technical Services for EME, LLC

12 and Midwest Generation. I’m also a member of EME’s

13 

# executive management committee. Among my principal

14 

# responsibilities I oversee all major capital

15 

# project management engineering and construction

16 activities, such as installation of environmental

17 controls for both Midwest Generation and EME.

18 I have worked in the electric

19 industry for roughly 30 years. For the past 23

20 years I have worked for EME and its affiliates. I

21 have extensive experience in various aspects of the

22 

# electric generation industry, including, capital,

23 

# long—term, strategic planning, asset development,

24 and evaluation, operations and large capital

# Page 59

1 

# project executions.

2 

# I’m here today to talk about Midwest

3 

# Generation’s CPS reduction efforts to date, its

4 

# compliance plans for 2015 and beyond, the

5 

# alternatives to the variance that Midwest

6 

# Generation has evaluated, and the emission impacts

7 

# of granting the variance.

8 

# I submitted an affidavit earlier

9 

# that addressed these topics. I would also be happy

10 

# to answer any questions that the court has

11 

# regarding these topics at the end of my testimony.

12 

# Midwest Generation has taken

13 

# significant costly steps to comply with the CPS.



# 14 In fact, to go beyond the requirements of the CPS

15 

# since its adoption in 2007. I’d like to highlight

16 

# a number of our key accomplishments.

17 

# We completed all mercury related

18 

# activated carbon injection systems in accordance

19 

# with CPS timetables and have operated the units in

20 

# compliance with CPS. Of particular note is the

21 

# fact that we committed all but two of our units to

22 

# meeting the more stringent CPS 

# mercury rate

23 

# standard of .008 pounds per gigawatt hour two years

24 

# earlier than required.

# Page 60

1 

# We completed installation of all CPS

2 

# nitrogen oxide or NAAQS related controls in

3 

# accordance with CPS and are fully compliant with

4 

# the CPS NAAQS rate of 0.11 pounds per MMBTU. This

5 

# includes SMCR’s at our Powerton, Joliet, Will

6 County and Crawford units.

7 

# I think everyone understands that

8 

# our Crawford facility has subsequently ceased

9 

# operation. Of particular importance to our

10 

# discussions today is the fact did we achieve

11 

# compliance with the 2013 CPS emissions rate of 0.44

12 

# pounds, MMBTU S02 in 2011 and 2012 two years

13 

# earlier than required.

14 

# In short, we’ve met or exceeded all

15 

# of our original commitments under the most

16 

# difficult of circumstances. Midwest Generation’s

17 

# achievements to date demonstrate our commitment to

18 

# reducing emissions and complying with the CPS.

19 

# Those achievements have come at a

20 

# considerable cost. To date we have spent more than

21 

# $200 million dollars to install control equipment.

22 

# An increase of roughly 30 million since my previous

23 

# affidavit as we continue to advance projects to

24

# Page 64

1 

# will take 18 to 24 months. This would encompass

2 

# the full project from preliminary engineering to

3 

# completion, start—up and performance testing of the

4 

# completed systems. Unit outages associated with

5 

# the ESP upgrades will vary considerably based on

6 

# the complexity of work, but would typically be 16

7 

# to 20 weeks in duration.

8 

# As I will discuss further in a

9 

# moment, however, requiring specific timelines and

10 

# deadlines would deprive Midwest Generation the

11 

# flexibility that was specifically contemplated and

12 

# allowed under the CPS. 

# That flexibility is

13 

# particularly critical for Midwest Generation as it

14 

# proceeds through its restructuring.

15 

# By any measure these are significant

16 

# and complex projects that require careful planning

17 

# and close coordination between engineering,

18 

# construction and operating staff to insure a safe

19 

# working environment.

20 

# Our goal throughout this project is

21 

# to be injury free. While this is the most cost

22 

# effective, yet compliant program we considered, it

23 

# is still extremely expensive. We estimate that the

24 

# FGD equipment will average about $38 million

# Page 65

1 

# dollars per unit, and ESP upgrades will average

2 

# about $55 million dollars per unit.

3 

# Some of the larger units like,

4 

# Powerton 5 need more significant upgrades and the

5 

# cost of this and similar units are considerably

6 

# more. Added to those costs are the operating costs

7 

# associated with Trona injections and the

8 

# comparatively higher as delivered costs for

9 

# procuring ultra low sulfur coal.

10 

# Looking ahead, we are in the process

11 

# of installing S02 controls on Powerton Unit 6. Our

12 

# plans associated with the balance of units is quite

13 

# fluid, as you could expect, given our financial

14 

# condition, and the current state of the markets.

15 

# We will continue to evaluate all

16 

# options for deferring and reducing capital expense.

17 

# However, I assure you that we are committed to

18 

# meeting our obligations under CPS 

# and this variance

19 

# request.

20 

# As I stated earlier, the cost of our

21 

# overall S02 control program is significant.

22 

# Midwest Generation would need to spend

23 

# $440 million dollars in 2013, in 2014 in order to

24 

# satisfy the CPS Waukegan Units 7 and 8, FGD

# Page 66

1 

# requirement and meet 2015 and 2016 systemwide S02

2 

# rates. We will need to spend hundreds of millions

3 

# more in the 2015 to 2018 timeframe to install

4 

# controls on our remaining units to attain CPS

5 

# compliance.

6 

# However, as Trace Petmecky

testified, Midwest Generation has not been able to

8 

# identify a viable source of funding for the full

9 

# $440 million dollars needed in 2013 and 2014.

10 

# Consequently, we seek this variance so that we

11 

# could defer approximately $210 million dollars of

12 

# that $440 million dollars worth of work to 2015 or

13 

# later.

14 

# The work we seek to defer includes

15 

# work in connection with the installation of Trona

16 

# F’GD equipment and ESP upgrades on Waukegan Unit 8,

17 

# Powerton Unit 5 and either Joliet Unit 7 or 8. If

18 

# the variance is denied Midwest Generation would

19 

# need to begin incurring substantial costs in

20 

# connection with these controls no later than April

21 

# of this year as a result of equipment in

22 

# construction lead times.

23 

# As I mentioned, Midwest Generation

24 

# considered various alternatives. We selected the

# Page 67

1 

# most efficient approach in terms of S02 emission

2 

# control. We selected the most efficient approach

3 

# in terms of S02 removal and costs.

4 

# It is neither feasible nor

5 

# productive to now attempt to change course to

6 

# another compliance strategy. Installing wet

7 

# scrubbers or other types of dry scrubbers would

8 

# cost more than controls we have selected and would

9 

# take more time.

10 

# Converting to natural gas would

11 

# reduce S02 emissions, but would render the units

12 

# uneconomic relative to more efficient combustion

13 

# turbine based gas generation. In short, it would

14 

# be unable to survive in a competitive market place.

15 

# If the board denies the variance to

16 

# Midwest Generation and Midwest Generation cannot

17 

# secure the necessary funding by April of 2013,

18 

# which it almost certainly will be unable to do,

19 

# Midwest Generation would be forced to curtail its

20 

# operations.

21 

# We estimate that the curtailment

22 

# would be roughly 35 percent in 2015 and 75 percent

23 

# in 2016, as compared to average generation from the

24 

# uncontrolled units over the past five years.

# Page 68

1 

# Such curtailment would be

2 

# unsustainable. It would substantially reduce

3 

# revenues at a critical time and would likely result

4 

# in the temporary or even permanent shut down of at

5 

# least some of the curtailed units.

6 

# Such curtailments may also result in

7 

# penalties under Midwest Generation’s capacity

8 

# contracts, and may even require regulatory approval

9 

# in light of grid reliability concerns.

10 

# In sum, the curtailments could

11 

# threaten the continued existence of Midwest

12 

# Generation and the future viability of its

13 

# stations. Shuttering our stations would have

14 

# devastating impacts on hundreds of workers and

15 

# their families, and significant numbers of union

16 

# craft workers we hired to perform major maintenance

17 

# and overhauls on an annual basis.

18 

# More simply, the impact of shutting

19 

# down units would drain hundreds of millions of

20 

# dollars from the Illinois economy. Fortunately,

21 

# this is not a choice between protecting the

22 

# environment and saving jobs. We can do both.

23 

# Granting the variance would have a positive impact

24 

# on S02 and other pollutant emissions.

# Page 69

1 

# The S02 mass emission limits to

2 

# which Midwest Generation would commit would reduce

3 S02 emissions overall over the period 2013 to 2016

4 

# by 3,181 tons of S02. Those S02 mass emission

5 

# limits would also cause a reduction of other

6 

# pollutant emissions, including 11,553 tons of

7 

# NAAQS, 4,306 tons of particulate matter, and

8 

# 22 million 266,320 tons of carbon dioxide, and 183

9

15 

# MS. VETTERHOFFER: No questions.

16 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Members of the

17 

# board, any questions for Mr. McCluskey? Ms. Liu,

18 

# Mr. Brown, Mr. Rao?

19 

# MR. RAO: Thank you, for your testimony,

20 

# Mr. McCluskey. I have a clarification I wanted to

21 

# ask you about.

22 

# You mentioned that Midwest

23 

# Generation has chosen as a compliance strategy to

24 

# use sulfur for coal and this Trona FGD and

# Page 70

1 

# upgrading of ESP. 

# And in your response to the

2 

# board’s questions you had also, you know, mentioned

3 

# the importance of having the flexibility under CPS

4 

# so that Midwest Generation could retain ability to

5 

# adopt alternate or emerging technologies in order

6 

# to comply with the CPS.

7 

# So other than this, you know, the

8 

# compliance strategy that you mentioned, could you

9 

# tell us a little bit more of, like, if there are

10 

# any other alternate or emerging technologies that

11 

# Midwest Generation is considering?

12 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: Well, I think a lot of this

13 

# goes to our core strategy these last few years,

14 

# which has been to reduce our total capital exposure

15 

# and look for alternatives. We’re constantly

16 

# looking for alternatives.

17 

# At present the best alternative is

18 

# Trona with the ESP upgrades, but we continue to

19 

# work closely with industry and technology

20 

# providers. To the extent that there is something

21 

# better that provides long

-- 

# better long—term

22 

# opportunity, reduces our capital exposure, then

23 

# we’re going to continue to look at adopting that.

# Waukegan 7 and 8.

4 

# Recognize that under the current

5

6 

# until the unit restarts in 2015. So it would be

7

8 

# The current plan is to install Trona

9 

# and various ESP upgrades for the balance of the

10 

# units over the CPS timeframe.

11 

# MR. RAO: One of the questions we had asked

12 

# when the Hearing Officer ordered that this file on

13 

# January 25th was for a typical, you know, time

14 

# schedule for implementation of all phases of the

15 

# control program for

-- 

# with respect to the Trona

16 

# FGD equipment and necessary ESP upgrades, and you

17 

# did give us a general timeframe of 18 to 24 months.

18 

# But we also had asked for a time

19 

# schedule for each CPS unit to comply with Section

20 

# 225.295 B at the end of the variance. And you

21 

# mentioned that

-— 

# you know, because of the

22 

# flexibility that you think it’s really important

23 

# for Midwest Generation.

24 

# You didn’t touch on that question.

# Page 73

1 

# So I was wondering if you can elaborate a little

2 

# bit more about what other unit, you know, what the

3 

# time schedule would be for other units or should we

4 

# assume that that 18 to 24 months that you told us

5 

# applies to all affected units?

6 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: The work varies quite

7 

# considerably unit to unit. Some units are going to

8 

# be shorter, some units are going to be longer,

9 

# depending. And it’s principally the complexity of

10 

# the precipitator upgrades. 18 to 24 months is

11 

# pretty typical.

12 

# The engineering component is

13 

# relatively small, but represents roughly five

14 

# percent of the total project. We’re seeing lead

15 

# times for major materials associated with

16 

# initiating construction of up to a year.

17 

# So, you know, typically we spend the

18 

# first, anywhere from two to four months doing

19 

# preliminary engineering. We, at that point, expend

20 

# considerable dollars associated with long lead

21 

# material procurements.

22 

# The construction activities are

23 

# staggered by unit, because you have to recognize

24 

# that the Trona component, the mills, the blowers

# Page 74

1 

# and associated equipment can be installed while the

2 

# units are operating. Obviously, the precipitator

3 

# upgrades require very extensive unit outages.

4 

# So if there’s a stagger between the

5 

# Trona work versus precipitator upgrade work and it

6 

# varies on a unit by unit basis, because we’ve

7 

# strived to align the work with existing outages,

8 

# it’s the most cost effective, and you can breakdown

9 

# that 18—month timeframe into, you know, three to

10 

# four months for engineering, up to a year of long

11 

# lead procurement.

12 

# The construction schedule is going

13 

# to typically withstand up to a year and embedded

14 

# within that 18-month timeframe, and most of these

15 

# units will be offline from

—- 

# anywhere from four to

16 

# five months for the outages to perform the

17 

# precipitator upgrades.

18 

# If I’m avoiding any specificity only

19 

# because it varies so considerably from unit to unit

20 

# based on the scope of work associated with the

21 

# precipitator upgrades and the lead times for that

22 

# equipment.

23 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: Just as a clarification. I

24 

# would just also mention that Mr. McFarlan touched

# Page 75

1 

# on some compliance plan elements that have been

2 

# proposed that leads toward compliance in 2017 at

3 

# the end of the variance period. So I think there

4 

# was also information relevant to the question you

5 

# just asked in Mr. McF’arlan’s testimony.

6 

# MR. RAO: Yeah. We were trying to get

7 

# information into the record. I know you had

8 

# proposed as part of the compliance plan the

9 

# emission rates that Midwest Generation will have to

10 

# comply during the term of the variance, and we were

11 

# more interested in the compliance strategy in terms

12 

# of what equipment will be installed to come in

13 

# compliance. And would it be, you know, acceptable

14 

# for Midwest Generation to have some of these

15 

# elements as part of the compliance plan?

16 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: I would suggest that

17 

# Mr. McFarlan or Mr. McCluskey could address the

18 

# challenges associated with specific unit

19 

# requirements in the plan.

20 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: I think the challenge is one

21 

# of those two components. There’s one, CPS

22 

# requirements as stated today is one set of

23 

# schedules. We’re currently working on Powerton 6.

24 

# We would quickly initiate work, and we recognize we

# Page 76

1 

# still need to make investment decisions associated

2 

# with Waukegan 7 and 8.

3 

# We would expect to quickly follow

4 

# that with decisions, investment decisions around

5 

# Joliet, both 7 and 8 and Powerton 6. The variances

6 

# requested will allow us some flexibility to extend

7 

# those decisions, particularly those related to

8 

# Powerton 6 and Joliet.

9 

# Funding, as Trace Petmecky has

10 

# outlined, is our principal consideration here. We

11 

# have to balance compliance, in some cases which

12 

# will require

—— 

# has the potential to require

13 

# curtailments to meet the mass emission rate limits

14 

# that we’re proposing with the available cash and

15 

# weigh all of those investment decisions discreetly,

16 

# which is why we need to maintain flexibility and

17 

# not state unit by unit plans, because that really

18 

# is subject to our ability to fund that work. But

19 

# those decisions will not impair our ability to meet

20 

# the CPS 

# requirements, either today or as stated, as

21 

# requested under the variance.

22 

# MS. LIU: Good morning, Mr. Mccluskey.

23 

# Midwest Generation has said time and time again

24 

# that they need flexibility in their control plan.

# Page 77

1 

# Are you aware that there is a

2 

# section in the board’s variance procedures that

3 

# does allow a petitioner to file a motion during the

4 

# term of the variance to modify any internal

5 

# variance compliance dates? And that would be

6 

# Section 35, Illinois Administrative Code 104.212.

7 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: I am not aware of that, but

8 

# I’m sure Counsel is aware of it.

9 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: Yeah. I’m assuming that’s a

10 

# legal question. The rules say what they say. You

11 

# know, if there is such a motion possibility, you

12 

# know, that’s something that we could consider. Is

13 

# there a question related to that that you would

14 

# like to ask?

15 

# MS. LIU: With the ability to modify the

16 

# internal compliance dates, would you be able to

17 

# provide a more specific time schedule with dates

18 

# for the Trona FGD equipment at various plants or a

19 

# potential plant shutdowns buying that flexibility

20 

# does exist to change those dates?

21 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: Not at this time. You need

22 

# to

-— 

# and I respect the question, and I understand

23 

# why you’re asking it. But at the same time, given

24 

# our bankruptcy and our discussions with both

# Page 78

1 

# unsecured creditors and loan holders, we have

2 

# significant limitations as to the information that

3 

# we can provide on the decisions that we have

4 

# pending for future investments and what the

5 

# likelihood of those outcomes may be.

6 

# MS. LIU: Thank you.

7 

# MS. BURKE: In the petition you discussed the

8 

# figure, 210 million as being an estimate of the

9 

# activities that needed to be delayed or deferred.

10 

# Thinking about that number in connection with your

11 

# testimony today, is what’s included in that

12 

# 210 million, activities such as the work on

13 

# Waukegan Unit 8, Powerton Unit 5 and Joliet Unit 7

14 

# or 8, is that what you contemplate as being part of

15 

# the 210 million?

16 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: In terms of the deferral?

17 

# MS. BURKE: Yes.

18 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: Yes. I mean, we’re working

19 

# on all of the projects in many respects parallel.

20 

# We’ve already selected common equipment. We’ve

21 

# already selected the key vendors that are going to

22 

# support us. We have the underlying design for

23 

# virtually all of the units, which was a lot of

24 

# commonality between the two.

# Page 79

1 

# What we’re seeking to do is defer

2 

# cormnitments. There’s minimal deferral related to

3 Waukegan 8, because we’re only asking to move that

4 

# five months. We would actually start procuring

5 

# equipment for both Waukegan 7 and Waukegan 8

6 

# simultaneously, because we get

-- 

# there’s an

7 

# advantage to that, as stated in our previous

8 

# variance request of buying that equipment as a bulk

9 

# package, that the balance we’re associating with

10 

# the larger Joliet units, those are significant

11 

# investments, and Powerton 5, which is also a very

12 

# significant investment.

13 

# Those three units alone represent

14 

# more than $300 million dollars worth of total

15 

# commitment, which was really the bulk of what we’re

16 

# trying to defer.

# MR. BONEBRAKE: Perhaps we can just get a

# couple of follow-up redirect questions for

# Mr. McCluskey and then talk about a break.

6 

# Mr. Mccluskey, you mentioned the

9 

# flexibility has been and is important, and maybe an

10 

# example, you know, based upon compliance activities

11 

# to date and selection of compliance plans, how

12 

# important the flexibility provided by the CPS is

13 

# for that whole process?

14 

# MR. McCLUSKEY: You know, I think as

15 

# discussed in a number of the testimonies, you know,

16 

# the underlying tenants of CPS in providing this

17 

# flexibility has actually been very important to us.

18 

# Its been important to us historically, and it’s,

19 

# obviously, important to us going forward.

# MR. McCLUSKEY: I think we’re prepared to

4 

# provide a report out to the board on what we’re

--



# 5 

# we have completed in the, you know, in the year.

6 

# think that’s a reasonable request to provide for

7 

# regular status reports of decisions that we’re

8 

# making and work that we’re completing.

9 

# I think evidence of our compliance

10 

# will be in our annual emissions rates, which will

11 

# be in full compliance with the CPS 

# variance

12 

# request. It will be a matter of record what

13 

# emission rate limits we’re achieving. It will be a

14 

# matter of record what S02 tons are being emitted.

15 

# And, obviously, we’ll be more than

16 

# happy to share and maintain a dialogue with the

17 

# board so that you can insure and be comfortable

18 

# that we’re progressing work and that we will be in

19 

# compliance.

20 

# There will be times where that may

21 

# not be very specific in terms of on a forward

22 

# looking basis, but we can certainly provide you

23 

# details on work that we’re completing to date.

24 

# MR. BONEBRAKE: If I may. The question I

# Page 84

1 

# think also is perhaps properly proposed to

2 

# Mr. McFarlan, who also touched in his testimony on

3 

# plan elements, including the rates and mass

4 

# emission limits that had been proposed on a

5 

# decreasing basis.

6 

# Mr. McFarlan, maybe you can just

7 

# mention that again, so the board has an

8 

# understanding of the plan elements that would help

9 lead toward compliance in 2017.

10 

# MR. McFARLAN: As I testified

--



# 11 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Remember, you’re

12 

# still under oath, Mr. McFarlan. Thank you.

13 

# MR. McFARLAN: I’m Doug McFarlan. As I

14 

# testified, the compliance plan we designed with

15 

# three components. One is the new limit on mass

16 

# emissions 2013 through 2016, a new reported

17 

# requirement, a new enforceable limit and condition

18 

# to CPS.



# 19 And as Fred was saying, every year

20 

# we’ll be filing reports to show that emissions have

21 

# come down each year to maintain below that

—— 

# below

22 

# those new caps on tons. So we think that’s

23 

# critically important, the new element of the CPS

24 

# under the variance, an important piece of the

# Page 85

1 

# compliance plan.

2 

# And then, secondly, the alternate

3 

# emission rate limits in 2015, 2016 higher than the

4 

# current emission rate limits in the CPS, 

# but still

5 

# lower than the 2013, 14 rates. Again, a matter of

6 

# record and required reporting that we’ve achieved

7 

# those, which shows progress on the way to full

8 

# compliance again in 2017 with the original CPS.

9 

# And then, thirdly, the reporting

10 

# that Fred was just discussing. It would be our

11 

# hope that through those reports you see the only

12 

# work we have done, which indicates the progress

13 

# that we’re making throughout the fleet.

14 

# And, also, the work that is planned,

15 

# as Fred said, plans are subject to change, but we

16 

# will

—- 

# we do have good faith plans from year to

17 

# year of what we are looking to do. What we’ve been

18 

# trying to emphasize is that as a matter of the way

19 

# we manage our business if we can find a way to

20 

# defer an expense or, you know, reconfigure to

21 

# become more efficient of a particular plan and

22 

# still comply, we’ll do that.

23 

# And that’s the flexibility that

24 

# having fleet wide emission limits has given us,

# Page 86

1 

# other than, you know, there are specifics. I mean,

2 

# there’s

-- 

# clearly here you’re talking about unit

3 

# specificity. Waukegan 7, Waukegan 8 have unit

4 

# specificity to them that can

- 

# you know, is part

5 

# of the compliance plan also.

6 

# I think, you know, something else to

7 

# bear in mind is that as we go forward to comply

8 

# with the CPS’s currently written order under the

9 

# variance, I think we’ve all stated that there’s

--



# 10 

# there are multiple compliance approaches you can

11 

# take, either individually or in combination.

12 

# One is the controls, one is to

13 

# curtail regeneration, which obviously, results in

14 

# lower emissions, and one is to actually shut down

15 

# units, which we have done in some cases for

16 

# economic reasons, but also can become a compliance

17 

# strategy for less efficient, less economic units.

18 

# So that’s something that, again, we look at

19 

# literally on a daily basis almost in the times

20 

# which we live now.

21 

# So I think we’re very open to very

22 

# open book reporting dialogue throughout to show

23 

# where we are at a particular point in time with our

24 

# planning, as well as what we’ve achieved.

# Page 87

1 

# But to a lay out a blueprint unit by

2 

# unit now, other than the units that are already

3 

# required of the CPS, 

# robs us of that very

4 

# flexibility that has been a core component from the

5 

# start.

6 

# So we keep coming back to having

7 

# difficulty, you know, with making that kind of

8 

# commitment, other than absolutely full compliance

9 

# with the emission rate limits, full compliance with

10 

# the tonnage cap limits, ongoing, you know,

11 

# guaranteed reductions in emissions year over year

12 

# and more voluminous and detailed reporting than we

13 

# do today so we can continue to evaluate constantly

14 

# our progress toward full compliance again in 2017.

15

19 

# thought is when we come back at 11:00 any members

20 

# of the public or elected officials that have

21

# MR. FRANCO: Hello, my name is Antonio Franco

13 

# F-r-a-n-c—o. I am the Co—chair of Students

14 

# (inaudible), here at JJC. I am also a concerned

15 

# member of this community. I have been living here

16 

# for the past 10 years with my family. We migrated

17 

# from Mexico, and we came to this community.

18 

# I am concerned that if we approve

19 

# this variance to the coal plant the air pollution

20 

# will cost significant damage to the community. I

21 

# do not think that any other people that are here

22 

# and whose jobs are at risk because of this had

23 

# anything to do with it.

24 

# I think that most of the people that

# Page 91

-- 

# that the reason why this is a big problem

2 

# are the people who control this power plant. In

3 

# other words, the ones that are here to make the big

# decisions.

5 

# I don’t think that any of you really

6 

# who are members of a union have anything to do with

7

13 

# MR. FRANCO: But also in the health risks of

14 

# other people because of the pollution. I am

15 

# concerned that because I live in this community and

16 

# because my family lives in this community their

17 

# health is going to be at risk because of this

18 

# variance.

19 

# Not only are the jobs of these

20 

# people at risk, like I said before, but we need to

21 

# really look at how it’s just going to effect the

22 

# community. Coal is not going to be the energy of

23 

# the future. We know that it’s a limited resource

24 

# and we need to look into something else.

# Page 92

# I’m not saying that the people here

2 

# in the unions shouldn’t be working for a nuclear

5 

# Who’s to say that they can’t work

# for creating winter by looking at renewal sources

2 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

3 

# MR. CAAMANO: I appreciate the opportunity to

4 

# deliver my testimony in support of the variance

5 

# requested by Midwest Generation. Our organization

6 

# represents 160 members in Will County and Grundy

7 

# Counties, including the Joliet and Will County

8 

# plants operated by Midwest Generation.

9 

# We serve the needs of our members

10 

# businesses and support the economic well—being of

11 

# the communities we call home. Midwest Generation

12 

# is a key part of the manufacturing sector here in

13 

# Will County. When one of our members faces

14 

# setbacks, it affects all of us.

15 

# The company employs hundreds of

16 

# skilled workers at their plants. Not only their

17 

# employees, but also building trade contractors,

18 

# provides stats revenue for the public services and

19 

# supports businesses throughout the state by

20 

# purchasing hundreds of millions of dollars in goods

21 

# and services.

22 

# I understand quite well that

23 

# manufacturers like Midwest Generation must operate

24 

# their plants responsibly for the sake of our

# Page 96

1 

# environment and the health of our fellow residents.

2 

# One of our key purposes of the

3 

# organization is to keep our members abreast of

4 

# environmental regulations and to work together to

5 

# insure that we perform our duty as good corporate

6 

# citizens.

7 

# Midwest Generation has demonstrated

8 

# that they understand their responsibility, they

9 

# have a strong 13 year environmental record.

10 

# They’re meeting, and in some cases, exceeding their

11 

# current time table for state regulations.

12 

# The temporary relief that Midwest

13 

# Generation is requesting will have no impact

14 

# whatsoever on the emission limits that they must

15 

# achieve by 2019. Their request will simply provide

16 

# them the flexibility they need to invest in

17 

# environmental controls, while managing a tough

18 

# financial situation in a tough economy.

19 

# The alternatives will increase the

20 

# likelihood of plant closings and layoffs. The

21 

# outcome of the decision before the board will have

22 

# a major impact on our local manufacturing sector.

23 

# Let there be no doubt that the effects will

24 

# reverberate throughout our communities in Will

# Page 97

1 

# County, in Grundy Counties and beyond.

2 

# I encourage you to make the right

3 

# decision for those communities and the state of

4 

# Illinois and grant a temporary relief requested by

5 

# Midwest Generation. And I thank you. And by the

6 

# way, myself and our families have been living here

7 

# in this area for 30 years. So appreciate. Thanks.

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you, sir.

9 

# MR. SLINKARD: Good morning. My name is Russ

10 

# Slinkard S-l-i—n-k—a-r—d. I’m the President and

11 

# CEO of the fourth largest Chamber of Commerce in

12 

# Illinois, the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and

13 

# Industry, with 1400 business members.

14 

# Earlier this month our organization

15 

# sent a letter to the board asking for approval of

16 

# the variance required by

-- 

# requested by Midwest

17 

# Generation. But in addition to that I wanted to be

18 

# here in person to demonstrate the strong support of

19 

# our organization, as well as the business community

20 

# as a whole for what we see as a very reasonable

21 

# request.

22 

# If granted, this request will

23 

# benefit our communities with continued jobs and

24 

# with dollars that are injected into our economy,

# Page 98

1 

# and tax revenues for our schools and services.

2 

# The Joliet Chamber’s mission is to

3 

# enhance the business environment and with the

4 

# quality of life in our community. For that reason

5 

# we pay close attention to the regulatory

6 

# environment that effects us.

7 

# None of us would quarrel with the

8 

# need for tough regulations to continue the

9 

# improvement of air quality to protect health and

10 

# safety, but frankly it’s difficult to understand

11 

# why anybody would quarrel with Midwest Generation’s

12 

# practical and reasonable request for temporary

13 

# relief from these air quality requirements.

14 

# All the company seeks is some

15 

# regulatory flexibility in order to keep jobs and

16 

# spending in our region while it goes through

17 

# financial restructuring. Flexibility requested by

18 

# Midwest Generation only applies to two years within

19 

# the 12—year timeframe of state pollution control

20 

# program. Nothing changes as far as the emission

21 

# limits that must be in place by 2019 under state

22 

# regulation.

23 

# It’s hard to imagine a more

24 

# justifiable variance request, given the financial

# Page 99

1 

# hardship that the company is now experiencing, and

2 

# the fact that it has a demonstrated record of

3 

# meeting all regulatory requirements. At times

4 

# ahead of schedule.

5 

# Midwest Generation needs a modest

6 

# amount of flexibility from this board in how it

7 

# goes about fulfilling its environmental

8 

# responsibilities to the people of Illinois and to

9 

# our communities.

10 

# Just a few months ago this board

11 

# approved a similar variance for Amron. The only

12 

# real difference between that variance and this one

13 

# is that Midwest Generation’s is more limited in

14 

# scope.

15

# MS. KLEN: Hi. My name is Susan Klen

2 K—1-e—n, and I’m a life long Joliet resident.

3 First, I’d like to thank the state for holding this

4 

# hearing here at Joliet Junior College.

5 As of this coming March I’ve been

6 

# unemployed for four years, so I understand how

7 

# important it is for people to find work and then

8 

# keep those jobs, especially in our area. My family

9 desperately needs me to find work, but they also

10 need to be able to breathe clean air.

11 The Clean Air Act was passed 43

12 years ago this year. Both our state and federal

13 EPAs have put a lot of time and money into

14 developing their minimum standards for emissions of

15 pollutants, like C02. So I think after 43 years we

16 

# need to quit putting off cleaning our air and just

17 do it.

18 Putting off pollution controls until

19 a company is flushed with cash shouldn’t be an

20 acceptable excuse. Not polluting the air shouldn’t

21 be on a company’s wish list, like redecorating our

22 offices.

# MR. JOHNSON: My name is a Mike Johnson

12 

# J-o—h-n-s-o-n. I work for Greenpeace. And I just

-- 

# I

13 

# guess I want to speak candidly. Obviously this is

14 

# a weighty matter. I mean, you’re here and you see

15 

# a lot of folks here today representing Midwest

16 Generation, and we understand there are a lot of

17 

# jobs that are involved in this whole process of

18 generating energy.

19 

# You know, there are a lot of tough

20 

# choices that are to be made and that have been

21 

# made, and unfortunately, the leadership at Midwest



# 22 Generation has just not really taken on a lot of

23 

# those challenges in a very forthcoming way and in a

24 

# way that’s really been in the best interest of its

# Page 111

1 

# own employees and the residents that live near the

2 

# plants.

3 

# So we’re here today with this

4 

# opportunity to really send a message that basically

5 

# pollution is not free. You know, the CPS 

# was

6 

# negotiated with Midwest Generation. This

-- 

# you

7 

# know, this has been longstanding. Its been on the

8 

# books for some time, and I think to now say after

9 

# the fact that this is unforeseen is stretching the

10 

# truth.

11 

# So, you know, in terms of holding

12 

# Midwest Generation to the agreement that it signed,

13 

# you know, we see Dynegy as being a classic example

14 

# of somebody who took the risk of investing in

15 

# pollution control equipment and going through

16 

# bankruptcy and emerging from it stronger.

17 

# The unfortunate difference here is

18 

# that Midwest Generation waited entirely too long,

19 

# and has put the health of the people living near

20 

# the plants at jeopardy, as well as the folks who

21 

# work at the boilers day in and day out.

22 

# So what we’re really asking today is

23 

# just for the Pollution Control Board to deny this

24 

# variance, because basically there’s no real way

# Page 112

1 

# that you can do the math that it comes out that

2 

# there is any net emissions benefit to the proposed

3 

# variance.

4 

# You know, I’ve looked at the

5 

# numbers; I’ve looked at hourly generation numbers;

6 

# I’ve looked at

—- 

# poured through data and I can’t

7 

# come up with any way but to assume eight and a half

8 

# percent growth in generation or in fuel input to

9 

# get

-- 

# actually get the numbers that they’re

10 

# talking about in terms of the 31,181 ton net

11 

# reduction in S02, and even that presupposes early

12 

# action credit for Fisk and Crawford, which they

13 

# closed voluntarily.

14 

# We think it was the right decision,

15 

# but unfortunately that shouldn’t have an impact on

16 

# something that’s already been generated or upon an

17 

# agreementthat’s already been put out there. You

18 

# know, it’s kind of stretching it to ask for all of

19 

# this ex post-facto, to ask for any actual credit

20 

# when it wasn’t part of the original agreement.

21 

# So we urge you to oppose this

22 

# variance. Thanks for this opportunity.

23

# recent review of the NAAQS, EPA set a five minute

2 

# threshold at 200ppb.

3 

# However, in my opinion, and I’ve

4 

# reviewed the data on which the NAAQS was

5 

# established, the studies really support a threshold

6 

# level that’s considerably higher than 200ppb, if

7 

# you really look at the studies and the levels at

8 

# which health effects were caused in a reasonable

9 

# percentage of the population, and also look at the

10 

# health effects themselves and whether they were

11 

# clinically relevant.

12 

# In my opinion the threshold really

13 

# is at least twice that at a l5Oppb, and using some

14 

# of the studies you could argue that threshold is

15 

# even higher than that. And, again, that’s for a

2 Exhibit 3 is the affidavit of

3 Douglas McFarlan. Exhibit 4 is the affidavit of

William M. Petmecky, the III. 

# Exhibit 5 is the

5 affidavit of Fred McCluskey.

6 Exhibit 6 is excerpts front the Bart

7 

# Sip technical support documents that the agency

8 

# submitted to U. S. EPA. This includes the cover

9 

# letter, the TSD cover page, certain pages from the

10 document and Appendix C.

11 

# Exhibit 7 is U. S. EPA’s proposed

12 approval of the Illinois Bart Sip at 77 Fed. Reg. 3966,

13 

# January 26, 2012. Exhibit 8 is the final federal

14 

# approval of the Illinois Bart Sip, 77 Fed. Reg. 39943,

15 

# July 6th 2012.

16 Exhibit 9 is a table comparing

17 

# Midwest Generation’s emissions at the proposed 2015

18 

# and 2016 rate to presumptive Bart levels. And the

19 

# purpose of this was to demonstrate that the

20 proposed variance would not interfere with the Bart

21 

# Sip.

22 

# These first nine exhibits were all

23 

# part of our petition of the petition for a

24 variance.

# Page 134

1 

# Exhibit 10 and Exhibit 11 were part

2 

# of the response to the board’s questions that were

3 issued to Midwest Generation on December 24th.

4 

# Exhibit 10 is a comprehensive

5 

# emissions analysis table. And the board had asked

6 

# for a table of calculations and equations, and

7 

# that’s what Exhibit 11 is.

8 

# For exhibit

-- 

# then we proposed that

9

11

# or

12 

# the chart is a replica of the table, be accepted as

13 

# Exhibit 12.

14 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: I think we did

15 

# agree to that, Ms. Vetterhoffer. Is that ok, we

16 

# just using that for demonstrative purposes?

17 

# MS. VETTERHOFFER: No. It’s fine.

18 

# MS. BASSI: That’s it.

19 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: And the chart, Ms.

20 

# Bassi, that was

-— 

# I’m sorry, No. 12?

21 

# MS. BASSI: That was 12, yes; Exhibit 12.

22 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Any objection,

23 

# Ms. Vetterhoffer, taking these exhibits into

24 

# evidence?

# Page 135

1 

# MS. VETTERHOFFER: No.

2 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: All right. So

3 moved.

4 MR. BONEBRAKE: So, Mr. Halloran, assuming

5 

# that the testimony received today is part of the

6 record without any motion on my part to make it

7 

# part of the record. I have just a short closing

8 statement, but I would suggest I just hold that to

9 the end of the hearing today. It’s quite brief.

10 

# And with that, I believe our direct case is closed

11 

# until later when I’ll make the closing statement.

12 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you,

13 

# Mr. Bonebrake. Ms. Vetterhoffer.

14 MS. VETTERHOFFER: I have no questions.

15 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Well, it’s your

16 case in chief. Do you rest?

17 MS. VETTERHOFFER: We don’t intend to put on

18 any direct testimony, but Mr. Ross is available if

19 

# the board has any questions.

20 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Okay. Sure thing.

21 obviously, no rebuttal. I think at this point what

22 we’ll do, we’ll take public comment, again. We can

23 

# open up the podium.

24 

# Okay. We’re going to backtrack a

# Page 136

1 

# little bit. Ms. Liu has a question about the

2 

# agency. Ms. Liu, let me give you my microphone

3 

# here.

4 

# MR. RAO: Good afternoon, Mr. Ross.

5 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Mr. Ross, can you

6 

# raise your right hand and the court reporter will

7 

# swear you in, please.

8 

# (witness sworn.)

9 MR. RAO: We asked a question of Midwest

10 

# Generation regarding human health and environment

11 

# impact, and we just wanted to get the agency’s

12 

# response to the same question. I will read the

13 

# question for you.

14 

# Please address whether granting

15 

# Midwest Generation’s petition for variance is

16 

# expected to jeopardize the state’s ability to meet,

17 

# one, its current obligation under the Illinois Sip

18 

# to obtain and maintain compliance with National

19 

# Ambient Air Quality Standards. And, two, the new

20 

# primary National Aimbient Air Quality Standards for

21 

# sulfur dioxide?

22 

# MR. ROSS: Illinois EPA believes that

23 

# granting the variance request will not jeopardize

24 

# its current obligations under the Illinois Sip.

# Page 137

1 

# Current obligations to attain and maintain the

2 

# NAAQS will not be jeopardized due to the net

3 

# environmental benefit over the term of the

4 

# variance.

5 

# Illinois EPA’s obligations for the

6 

# 2010 S02 NAAQS will not be jeopardized, since the

7 

# variance ends December 31st 2016, while the

8 

# attainment date of the 2010 S02 NAAQS is no sooner

9 

# than July, 2017. The variance will end prior to

10 

# the 2010 S02 NAAQS attainment date, and, therefore,

11 

# no impact is expected.

12 

# MR. RAO: Thank you, very much.

13 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you. Again,

14 

# I think we’ll open the floor up for public comment.

15 

# You stand up to the podium, and so far we’ve been

16 

# doing a pretty good job keeping it four minutes and

17 

# under. So when you stand up there, just please

18 

# introduce yourself and spell your sir name for the

19 

# court reporter. Thank you.

13

# Generation. I’m here as a citizen of Illinois and

11 

# employee of Midwest Generation.

12 

# 37 years ago I started working at

13 

# Crawford Station, and over the 37 years I have

14 

# worked at almost every generating facility that

15 

# both ComEd and now Midwest Generation owns. I have

16 

# seen ComEd, over my first 25 years, work to try to

17 

# maintain environmental integrity at the plants, but

18 

# I have never seen CornEd work with the intensity

19

# In conclusion, for all of these

2 

# reasons, we ask that the board deny Midwest

3 

# Generation’s petition. In considering whether to

4 

# grant Midwest Generation’s variance request, the

5 

# board should not rely on the same kinds of

6 

# unsupported promises by a similarly situated

7 

# company, that being Amron, made in its variance

8 

# petition just a short time ago, which were broken a

9 

# few a months later.

10 

# That experience shows that when a

11 

# company’s importance to the state and local economy

12 

# is used as justification for a variance, granting

13 

# that does not insure that the company will be able

14 

# to stay in the state and local market.

15 

# Midwest Generation was aware of many

16 

# of the factors it now cites when the 2006 agreement

17 

# was reached. It has already benefitted from that

18 

# agreement, which said the combined pollutant

19 

# standards must now uphold the end of the bargain.

20 

# Thank you, so much for your time.

21 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

22 

# MS. BURCENSKI: Good afternoon. My name is

23 

# Sandy Burcenski. I’m a life long resident of Will

24 

# County.

# Page 156

1 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Could you spell

2 your last name, please.

3 MS. BURCENSKI: Oh, I’m sorry.

4 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

5 

# MS. BURCEN5KI: B-u—r--c—e—n—s---k-i. I’m also

6 a member of CARE, Citizens Against Ruining the

7 

# Environment. I’ve heard here today that Midwest

8 

# Generation is in compliance on mercury in NAAQS.

9 But we are here to talk about S02. I have heard

10 the term compliance commitment spoken numerous

11 

# times today by Midwest Generation, so I would like

12 to ask a question.

13 

# What is Midwest Generation’s

14 

# compliance commitment to Will County since Will

15 

# County Romeoville plant, I believe, is second only

16 to Powerton in the state with the highest levels of

17 

# SO2 over the facility?

18 Midwest Generation wants a variance,

19 

# yet are you aware that in the last year to year and

20 a half Midwest Generation has gone to all the local

21 municipalities to solicit their support to allow

22 Midwest Generation to be a part of the enterprise

23 zone, which I believe puts the burden on all of us.

24 Are you also aware that the way

# Page 157

1 

# this was presented and sold to these municipalities

2 

# is that Midwest Generation needs this so they can

3 

# implement pollution controls at their facilities.

4 

# Nothing was ever mentioned about variances and when

5 

# this would take place.

6 

# Based on past agreements with

7 

# Midwest Generation, how long will the Pollution

8 Control Board and the EPA, 

# in my opinion, continue

9 

# to be strung along by Midwest Generation with good

10 

# faith plans that are subject to change?

11 

# I would like to respectfully ask the

12 

# board not to grant this variance. Thank you.

13 HEARING OFFICER 

# HALLORAN: Thank you.

14 

# MS. OWEN: Good afternoon. My name is Verena

15 

# Owen, and I usually spell my first name, but I will

16 

# spell both for you.

17 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Sure.

18 

# MS. OWEN: It’s V-e—r-e--n--a O-w--e--n. My

19 

# family and I live in Winthrop Harbor, that’s just a

20 

# couple of miles north of the Waukegan plant. I’m

21 

# also a volunteer for the CR club.

22 

# 10 years ago, I testified at the

23 

# Waukegan plants operating permit hearing, and the

24 

# permit, as the board is well aware of, the company

# Page 158

1 

# is still fighting. And I pointed out that this

2 

# plan is totally unscrubbed and has no 502 pollution

3 

# controls on their facility. And I have a feeling

4 

# of déjà vu standing here 10 years later.

5 

# You will get testimony and already

6 

# have gotten testimony about the impact of health

7 

# pollution

-- 

# of air pollution to public health.

8 

# There’s numbers, there’s statistics, there was

9 

# premature deaths in emergency room visits.

10 

# I have a very good friend who had a

11 

# lung ailment and she passed away, leaving four

12 

# little boys and she died before her oldest ever

13 

# graduated from high school. Those numbers are real

14 

# people, they are not just statistics.

15 

# Midwest Generation bought these

16 

# plants and the Waukegan plant in or around 1999,

17 

# and they were all aging plants at the time and they

18 

# knew very well they would need considerable

19 

# upgrading from what they had when they bought them.

20 

# So it was obviously Midwest Gen

21 

# agreed to the CPS 

# and committed to either close the

22 

# Waukegan plant or install this new pollution

23 

# control by 2014.

24 

# So Ted Craver, who at the time was

# Page 159

1 

# the CEO of Edison Mission Energy or EMG, said in

2 

# the press release, This agreement

—— 

# speaking of

3 

# the CPS

-- 

# provides long-term certainty for both

4 

# the state and how the company helps the state and

5 

# city of Chicago achieve their clean air goals, and

6 

# allows us to plan and manage significant capital

7 

# investments and major technology projects in a

8 

# reasonable timeframe to plan and manage significant

9 

# capital investment.

10 

# So did Mr. Craver do that? No, he

11 

# didn’t, and he didn’t do it in the future either.

12 

# Mr. Craver is now the CEO of Midwest Gen’s parent

13 

# company, Edison International.

14 

# I am a shareholder of Edison

15 

# International; I own one share. At a recent

16 

# earnings call Ted Craver cut Midwest Generation

17 

# loose from the mother ship, indicating the

18 

# unwillingness of the parent company to fix

-— 

# to

19 

# fund anymore Midwest Gen projects.

20 

# Interesting enough, Edison

21 

# International still makes a profit, which I donate

22 

# that I just need to a good organization. Why is

23 

# that? Edison International’s portfolio is actually

24 

# only eight percent coal, 90 percent (inaudible),

# Page 160

1 

# and varies a vast variety of other sources for

2 

# Midwest Generation.

3 

# Midwest Generation’s portfolio in

4 

# comparison is 89 percent coal. Coal is simply a

5 

# bad business model. The handwriting has been on

6 

# the wall for quite some time, and the true cost of

7 

# coal is finally coming in.

8 

# In the 2012

—— 

# November, 2012

9 

# business update Edison International lists

10 

# environmental expenditures for the Midwest

11 

# Generation fleet. EME spent $26 million dollars in

12 

# 2012, and plans to spend $112 million dollars in

13 

# 2013, and $311 million dollars in 2014, without any

14 

# mentioning where that money will come from.

15 

# To put this in perspective, in its

16 

# application, Midwest Gen states that it spent

17 

# $170 million dollars over six years, which is

18 

# $28 million dollars, which is about what they

19 

# expect in 2012.

20 

# In the same report there is a list

21 

# of Midwest Gen’s compliance costs. Again, Edison

22 

# International estimates compliance costs at about

23 

# $863 million dollars, broken down into large units

24 

# and small units, and there’s a very telling

# Page 161

1 

# footnote. It says, No decision has been made to

2 

# retrofit particular units.

3 

# Capital expenditures forecasts,

4 

# the ones that I mentioned, provides for large unit

5 

# retrofits. It is less likely that retrofits will

6 

# be made to Joliet 6 and the Waukegan Station.

7 

# So to me the cost and expenditure

8 

# numbers don’t add up. I don’t understand what

9 

# they’re doing and somebody may not be really

10 

# telling the truth here.

11 

# The variance will not resolve any of

12 

# Midwest Gen’s financial problems. This variance

13 

# cannot fix an unfixable company, and Mr. Craver

14 

# seems to understand that. The variance also

15 

# doesn’t guarantee jobs and nor that the plants will

16 

# stay open. There is simply no certainties.

17 

# It is past time for Midwest Gen to

18 

# come clean and disclose what

—- 

# to their workers

19 

# and to the communities what exactly their plans are

20 

# for those plants. And communities around those

21 

# plants deserve to know and need to know and need to

22 

# start thinking beyond coal and planning for a

23 

# redevelopment and juxtaposition of the workers.

24 

# It is the responsibility of you, the

# Page 162

1 

# board, and the duty of you to protect Illinois

2 

# residents from being taken advantage of by

3 

# companies like Midwest Generation and their parent

4 

# Edison International.

5 

# The board has to

-— 

# it would be

6 

# irresponsible of the board to approve the variance

7 

# without knowing if the company can reasonably and

8 

# actually pay for those controls. And I urge you to

9 

# deny the variance. Thank you.

10 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

11 

# MS. KLIPP: Good afternoon. Barbara Klipp

12 

# K—l-i-p—p. Before I begin my official testimony, I

13 

# wanted to address one concern that I have. In

14 

# previous testimony by the company and by several of

15 

# the elected officials they had stated that the

16 

# company has remained in compliance with all federal

17 

# and state regulations.

18 

# But according to the EPA toxic

19 

# release inventory page on the Waukegan coal plant

20 

# they’ve been in noncompliance for the past three

21 

# years. So I’m concerned about the discrepancy

22 

# there.

23

# I’m here today to testify against the variance

2 

# requested by Midwest Generation.

3 

# This is eerily similar to the

4 

# hearing that was held on Amron’s variance request

5 

# earlier. And it follows a typical pattern. The

6 

# company couldn’t perceive the horrific

7 

# circumstances that would lead them unable to do

8 

# anything except slash pollution control in order to

9 

# preserve jobs.

10 

# And although they remained

11 

# concerned about the environment, they claim that

12 

# these standards can be changed to meet their needs

13 

# without harming anyone.

14 

# Well, I find all of this very

15 

# troubling. I don’t see any factors presented by

16 

# Midwest Generation that could not have been

17 

# predicted long, long ago. Natural gas prices have

18 

# been falling for some time. Energy demand has been

19 

# falling, Illinois’s regulatory environment and its

20 

# competitive state relative to other states has not

21 

# changed recently, and their loan has been coming

22 

# due from the day they took it out.

23 

# None of these factors should’ve been

24 

# unforeseen or precluded Midwest Gen from making

# Page 167

1 

# plans to follow the compliance steps that they had

2 

# already agreed to.

3 

# And I think their inability to

4 

# predict these things and to manage such basic

5 

# aspects of their operation should also call in your

6 

# mind questions about their ability to deal with an

7 

# overly flexible compliance schedule.

8 

# I think you need to nail them down

9 

# on specific steps, on specific dates, specific

10 

# amounts of money that will be spent. I don’t

11 

# believe they’ll follow it, and I think you should

12 

# deny the variance. But if you go forward, I would

13 

# ask for as much specificity as possible.

14 

# I think their failure to protect

15 

# things like falling natural gas prices, like a loan

16 

# coming due that they themselves stand for shows

17 

# that they are really fundamentally unable of

18 

# working without a lot of supervision.

19 I 

# also find the whole situation very

20 

# predictable, that they would come up and they would

21 

# place all of these workers, their jobs are in

22 

# jeopardy unless this variance is granted. It’s the

23 

# same story that we heard from Amron, and yet in

24 

# December Amron announced that despite being granted

# Page 168

1 

# the variance, they’re sorry, the jobs are going

2 

# away.

3 

# I think all of us fundamentally

4 

# recognize that any corporate entity that is failing

5 

# to invest in its plants is failing to invest in the

6 

# future of its workers. There is no future for

7 

# anyone in terms of long—term job security if a

8 

# company is not willing to invest in where you’re

9 

# working.

10 

# And I looked back at various reports

11 

# about the financial troubles of the energy industry

12 

# in Illinois in general and comments by Midwest

13 

# Generation specifically.

14 

# In April, 2012 Mr. McFarlan in

15 

# speaking to Midwest Energy News indicated that they

16 

# had spent $400 million on compliance in the period

17 

# 1999 to 2012, with an additional $860 million

18 

# dollars to be invested in the 2012 through 2015

19 

# timeframe.

20 

# Now, it would seem to me that

21 

# between now and last April, $800 plus million

22 

# dollars didn’t simply disappear. Either he just

23 

# says what’s expedient at the moment or there are

17 

# I’ve sat in on numerous meetings of

# get people to car pool more and other things like

20 

# that, because they’re very concerned about the

# In the end, I believe that Midwest

16 

# the focus, though, will remain the same. I don’t

17

# other companies who have idle coal fire power

# plants.

4 

# They are asking that credit be

5 

# given for future pollution reductions, based on

6 

# what a shuttered plant could generate if the

7 

# company wished to reopen and operate it.

8 

# The reality is different. The

9 

# company says it could operate the Crawford plant

10 

# until the end of 2014. But it has already begun

11 

# dismantling the plant, and about 100 feet or so of

12 

# one of the two main exhaust stacks has already

13 

# gone, and that’s what the picture in front of you

14 

# shows.

15 

# How can a company claim to be

16 

# able to operate that plant legally with a smoke

17 

# stack that is 100 feet or so shorter? Is the

18 

# company really allowed to pollute with half a

19 

# stack, smothering the nearby largely Hispanic

20 

# neighborhood with pollution?

21 

# If they are claiming the benefit of

22 

# not running the Crawford plant in their accounting

23 

# that leads to the 3,340 ton sulfur dioxide benefit,

24 

# how can this be justified?

# Page 175

1 

# The company is using the threat

2 

# of legally running a dirty power plant for two

3 

# years as leverage to get a variance. When it’s

4 

# clear they don’t have the physical ability to

5 

# actually run that plant.

6 

# If they do not have this capability,

7 

# they should not get credit for SO emissions

8 

# avoided. Supposed S02 benefit is a farce. It’s

9 

# like offering to not drive a car that does not have

10 

# an engine.

11 

# The owners of Midwest Generation

12 

# benefitted from the CPS options and made firm

13 

# commitments to cut S02 rates fleet wide. With

14 

# benefits reaped and shareholders rewarded, they now

15 

# don’t want to invest in cleaner emissions they

16 

# promised Illinois residents.

17 

# It is telling that the company is

18 

# not willing to state what specific actions it will

19 

# take to meet post 2016 emission targets. They are

20 

# simply asking the board to trust them to comply.

21 

# I ask you to deny this variance.

22 

# Illinoisans should not be paying with their health

23 

# or their lives to benefit a company’s stock price.

24 

# Your decision today and in future weeks will

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: What I want to get

10 

# an idea is how many people still want to make

11

12 

# We’ve have got like, what, six, seven back there,

13 

# eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Okay, there’s a lot more

14

15

16 

# go

-— 

# there’s some people that are hungry here, so,

17 

# you know, but my thinking is 

# if there’s probably

18 

# 12, 14 more people that want to give public

19

21

# MS. WEIMER: Judy Weimer W-e-i-m-e-r. I am

3 

# here today because I fight for air every day. I am

4 

# a survivor of a bilateral lung transplant, and

5 

# thank you, donors. The reason I needed the

6 

# transplant was because I have COPD emphysema and

7 

# acute bronchitis. 80 percent of my COPD was due to

8 

# environment.

9 In the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70’s I grew up

10 

# in Chicago, five brothers, everybody was a

11 

# mechanic, if you wanted to go someplace you walked,

12 

# you rode your bike. You were lucky to have one car

13 

# in the family. So if you wanted to get someplace,

14 

# that’s what you did.

15 

# So things that were going on back

16 

# then are not necessarily going on now, but still

17 

# it’s all coming together. I’m trying to help clean

18 

# the air for my, you know, 15—year-old niece and

19 

# nephews out there.

20 

# And all the little particles that

21 

# are floating in the air that come out on everything

22 

# and everybody is just not healthy. You’re going to

23 

# just inhale it and asthma is just going to keep

24 

# going and going and going.

# Page 178

1 

# I’ve gone through my $200,000

2 

# 401(k) for meds. I’ve gone through another 60,000

3 

# in savings account for meds in order to be here

4 

# today. Someone had to die in order for me to come

5 

# and ask that you stop doing these variances. It’s

6 

# not going to help. There’s so much problems out

7 

# there, I can’t begin to tell you.

8 

# It used to take me four hours to

9 

# take a shower, and I was lucky to do that once a

10 

# week. I was dependent on other people. The

11 

# firefighters would come every

-- 

# probably six

12 

# weeks, pick me up, take me to the ICU at the

13 

# hospital, and I was hooked up to all the machines.

14 

# I was in adult diapers, I was on

15 

# oxygen, I was in a wheelchair. If I wanted to walk

16 

# around the house, I had a chair every five feet,

17 

# because I had to sit and catch my breath for 10

18 

# more minutes to go do. So doing anything was

19 

# impossible.

20 

# If I wanted to eat, everything just

21 

# went right down me because of the shakes, which I

22 

# still have, but that’s, you know, life. At least I

23 

# have the right to be here today and speak my mind

24 

# and ask that you do not give the variance. Thank

# MS. GIBSON: Hello. My name is Tameka Gibson

5 

# G—i-b—s--o—n, and I represent the Illinois Environmental

6 

# Council. The Illinois Environmental Council founded in

7 

# 1975 is the eyes and ears of the environmental

8 

# community in Illinois.

9 

# We focus on efforts that preserve

10 the air and water quality, preserve open space and

11 

# insure that the rights of every Illinois resident

12 to a clean environment is both exercised and

13 

# protected.

14 

# For far too long most Illinois coal

15 

# fire power plants were shielded from having to

16 install modern pollution controls designed to

17 

# reduce smog, soot and mercury pollution.

18 

# The Illinois Environmental Council

19 

# was at the forefront of the effort to de-grandfather

20 the older coal fire power plants responsible for a

21 

# large portion of the pollution emitted in Illinois,

22 

# and has strongly supported the efforts of its

23 

# member groups to clean up existing electric

24 generation sources in the state.

# Page 180

1 

# We continue to work in partnership

2 

# with our member groups to maximize the use of

3 

# energy efficiency and clean renewable energy here

4 

# in Illinois in order to provide and preserve a

5 

# healthy environment for all.

6 

# The key point here today is that

7 

# Midwest Generation voluntarily opted into the

8 

# combined pollutant standard in 2007, knowing full

9 

# well the benefits, risks and obligations that came

10 

# with that choice.

11 

# The company made that choice

12 

# with a view towards its bottom line, and for many

13 

# years apparently profited handsomely from that

14 

# decision.

15 

# But the company was not prudent,

16 

# made inaccurate preparations for needed

17 

# investments, and is now asking the public to allow

18 

# it to pollute at a high level for a longer period

19 

# of time.

20 

# They are asking the public to

21 

# believe that they are providing a net environmental

22 

# and health benefit compared to simply complying

23

13

# live in Peoria, Illinois. It’s about two hours

3 

# south of here along the Illinois River in wonderful

4 

# Illinois River Valley with the high bluffs on both

5 

# sides and the prevailing winds from the south,

6 

# southwest.

7 

# I was in Springfield last year for

8 

# the Arnron hearing. I’m here today because I am

9 

# very concerned about who speaks up for the people

10 

# of Illinois. I have an acquaintanceship with

11 

# chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.

12 

# My mother had that. She lived in

13 

# Tazwell County; we grew up in Tazwell County. I

14 

# helped her walk to the car to take her to the ER.

15 

# I have a friend who lives a few blocks from me. I

16 

# live on what’s called the Old East Bluff of Peoria

17 

# upwind of these power plants, and I’m concerned

18 

# because you see it’s hard; I have breathing

19 

# trouble, and there’s 379,186, people in the Peoria

20 

# Metro area.

21 

# I did not hear today what’s going to

22 

# happen with Powerton, which is in a non-attainment

23 

# area well-known to IEPA. An article from the Pekin

24 

# Times of May 20th 2011 says, IEPA officials

# Page 184

1 

# discussed sulfur dioxide pollution problems.

2 

# Concerned residents and city leaders attended a

3 

# meeting to address Pekin sulfur dioxide air

4 

# pollution. IEPA is recommending that two townships

5 

# be designated a non-attainment, which they are now,

6 

# because they do not meet the air pollution

7 

# standards. Pekin is measured at 235 parts per

8 

# billion. That was in 2011, the worst in the state.

9 

# This is a community of some 30,000.

10 

# What I’m trying to say is, this

11 

# shell game

-- 

# and I apologize. I have no better

12 

# words as a citizen to understand what is happening

13 

# here. It’s a shell game. So there’s going to be

14 

# improvements in sulfur. Well, what’s going to

15 

# effect the 300,000 people in my area who have the

16 

# ongoing impacts from Powerton, a plant that is

17 

# doing ground water pollution and has other

18 

# concerns.

19 

# And we see year after year

20 

# variances, delays and now the added concerns of

21 

# economy

-- 

# and I will wrap up shortly here

-- 

# is

22 

# that the decisions are here with the Illinois

23 

# Pollution Control Board.

24 

# Strong arguments have been made

# Page 185

1 

# for the legal clarity in denying this permit. The

2 

# facts, to me, show this permit should be denied.

3 

# There is no clear evidence of a true plan with a

4 

# timetable for any of us to rely on.

5 

# So I do ask you, please, and with

6 

# great respect on behalf of the people who depend on

7 

# your agency to direct the future of our environment

8

9

10 

# McElroy. I am a member of CARE, Citizens Against

11 

# Ruining the Environment, and also a student here at

12 Joliet Junior College.

13 I 

# just wanted to say that I think we

14 

# all know that coal is

-- 

# it’s a resource that’s

15 

# going to run out eventually. It’s an unrenewable

16 

# resource. We all know that it pollutes the

17 

# environment and it has a lot of hazardous effects.

18 

# So I think it would be a good idea

19 

# to start retraining the community and Midwest

20 Generation’s people to looking into greener



# 21 alternatives, as opposed to just losing jobs. They

22 

# should take their assets and retrain and think

23 

# about what else that they can do.

24 

# And as a mother, I am also concerned

# Page 192

1 

# about my SOn’S 

# health. He was recently diagnosed

2 

# with asthma. He’s also missed a lot of school, and

3 

# I’m concerned about what and be done. I don’t even

4 

# know if I want to continue to live in Illinois, because

5 

# of the pollution problems and the economic problems

6 that this state is having, which is unfortunate.

7 

# So thank you for your time, and,

8 please, deny Midwest Gen of whatever.

# I think what I can offer, though

--



# 3 

# I mean, what our issues were particularly concerned

4 

# about was when we heard that the Crawford plant

5 

# which had been named in this particular request for

6 

# variance as well, we were concerned about that. We

7 

# didn’t initially understand what that was about.

8 

# I’ve learned since now what that’s

9 

# about, which is trying to use the offsets that are

10 

# happening to get that part that has shuttered to

11 

# basically reduce the requirements who meet similar

12 

# pollution controls on plants in other parts of the

13 

# state, and that areally concerns us.

14 

# We really feel that, you know, the

15 

# fact that we were able to win a major victor in

16 

# Chicago, reducing pollution in Chicago, should then

17 

# lead to people in other communities in Illinois

18 

# having to breathe in those kind of pollutants. You

19 

# know, that which, obviously, they put us in a odd

20 

# situation to have our victory turn out to be a loss

21 

# for other communities, and so I’m here to oppose

22 

# the variance.

5 

# MR. MEAD-LUCERO: No problem. Real quick.

6 

# The last thing I want to say too is, you know,

7 

# let’s keep in mind this is actually

-— 

# really these

8 

# plants should have been cleaned up in the ‘70s when

9 

# the Clean Air Act was passed.

10 

# This has been something that’s been

11 

# delayed 30, 40 years. Not just the few years that

12 

# we’re talking about since 2007 when the Illinois

13 

# regulations were met.

14 

# We didn’t actually

-— 

# our

15 

# organization didn’t support the 2007 agreement,

16 

# because we thought as week as it was, and now

17 

# they’re asking for a variance even on that. So to

18 

# us this is something that’s been, you know, 40

19 

# years overdue and to just keep pushing it off and

20 

# off and off into the future is a real mistake. So

# MR. JURAS: Hello. My name is Randy Juras

5 

# J—u—r—a-s. I’m a resident of Homer Glen. I’m with

6 

# the Homer Glen Environmental Committee. I’m a

7 

# neighbor from the Romeoville plant, and one of the

8 

# things that concerns me is what the toxicologist

9 

# was talking about.

10 

# Everything that’s emitted from that

11 

# plant goes up into the air and it floats from west

12 

# to east over our community. It joins up with the

13 

# smog from 1-355, and then we’re also going to be

14 

# getting the diesel truck traffic that’s going to be

15 

# at Heritage Crossing. They are estimating 80,000

16 

# trucks per year that’ll be going through there.

17 

# I realize that when you look at any

18 

# single component come out of any single place,

19 

# you’re only going to see the results of that. What

20 

# we see time and time again is that you get a

21 

# combination of things. That’s what you actually

22 

# get bombarded with in your community.

23 

# The last thing I would like to say

24 

# too is is that I was in R&D and we had to prepare

# Page 202

1 

# AOP plans, things of this nature, and I’ve got to

2 

# admit I don’t think some of my plans would’ve ever

3 gotten forward with some of the numbers that were

4 

# put forth here.

5 

# I don’t think that they should be

6 

# given the variance, given what they said they could

7 

# do, will do, might do. I don’t think that this is

8 

# the end of the line here. I see this all happening

9 

# again in a year or two with things not going quite

10 

# right.

11 

# Having been in a number of those

12 

# type of adventures, I know how difficult it is.

13 

# And given what they’re trying to do, I don’t think

14 

# the variance is going to really do the trick.

# Thank you.

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you, sir.

17 

# All the commentators, are they out

18

# three four, five more.

# Mary Burnitz, but I’m going to read something.

6 

# It’s from my neighbor. She is unable to read it.

7 

# So I’ll start.

8 

# Hello, my name is Ardis Doolin. In

9 

# the fall and winter when the leaves are off the

10 

# trees I have an obstructed view of my neighbor

11 

# directly to the west, the Romeoville coal fire

12 

# power station.

13 

# Since I’m only three or four years

14 

# older than the power station, it’s safe to say I’ve

15 

# been watching and breathing the smoke coming out of

16 

# the plant’s smoke stack for most of my life.

17 

# My first memory dealing with

18 

# respiratory problems takes place when I was about

19 

# five or six years old. After taking me to the

20 

# doctor, my mother and I returned to the car, while

21 

# my father

# 22 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Just slow down

23 

# just a little. I’m sorry.

24 

# MS. BURNITZ: Slow down, okay.

-- 

# while my father went into the

2 

# drug store to get my prescription filled. It

3 

# gradually dawned on me that people would go out of

4 

# their way, even going so far as to cross the street

5 

# to avoid coming near our car.

6 

# When I asked my mom about it, she

7 

# told me they probably thought I had whooping cough.

8 

# I didn’t have whooping cough, but it sounded like I

9

11 

# MS. SITKO: Thank you.

12 MR. PICKERING: Marvin Pickering. I’ve live

13 

# in the area.

14 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Sir, could you

15 please spell your last name for the court reporter,

16 please.

17 

# MR. PICKERING: P-i-c-k-e-r-i-n-g.

18 HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

19 

# MR. PICKERING: I’ve lived in the area since

20 1962. And I realize you have a difficult decision,

21 

# because I have seen this thing progress in various

22 ways. I can understand you have a difficult

23 decision, and I’d like to share some information.

24 First of all, I’m a retired science

# Page 213

1 

# teacher. And we have done some experiments with

2 

# our students pertaining to acid rain in the area

3 

# over the years. I have one neighbor who works for

4 

# Midwest Generation.

5 

# I have another one who didn’t get a

6 

# lung transplant, and he can’t be here, and I

7 

# realize there’s a lot of people that aren’t here,

8 

# and I thought I’d come to try to speak for them,

9 

# because they’re in bed and they have respiratory

10 

# problems, which don’t seem to get better.

11 

# So I’d like to deal with two points.

12 

# One academic and scientific, and the second,

13 

# subjective. From the academic, with our laboratory

14 

# work we gathered grain samples right after a rain,

15 

# tested them and from the southwest to the northeast

16 

# you can draw a line from Joliet through the south

17 

# part of Homer Township to the northeast part of

18 

# Homer Township, which is northeast of here, and

19 

# that prevailing wind with a PH between four and

20 

# five.

21 

# But you go to the northwest part of

22 

# Homer Township and the ph was much higher. And

23 

# this wasn’t one lab, this wasn’t one year. This

24 

# was many years in the ‘90s and the late ‘80s.

# Page 214

1 

# I realize it may be outdated and it

2 

# might be a high school lab, but those high school

3 

# students are now voters, and we have a problem.

4 

# I live on Gougar Road. On Gougar

5 

# Road they turned the switch off at 80. We have

6 

# lost six people within a year, all on Gougar Road,

7 

# Homer Township. We have the benefit of two coal

8 

# generating plants intersecting; three miles to

9 Romeoville and about seven miles to Joliet.

10 

# Mrs. Mitchell at 159th and Gougar,

11 

# Mrs. Meyers at 159th and Gougar, Ed and Ann Carkett

12 

# at about 15400 and Gougar, Teresa Koskowitz across

13 

# the road at 15400, Bess Roster at 151st.

14 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Sir, could you

15 

# please summarize?

16 

# MR. PICKERING: Yes.

17 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you, so

18 

# much.

19 

# MR. PICKERING: We have seen the results of

20 

# acid rain and acid pollution and sulfur dioxide,

21 

# which becomes, I believe sulfurous acid. Basically

22 

# what we have happening is what my doctor has told

23 

# me now. A year ago he said you’re wheezing.

24 

# And now, just a couple of weeks ago

# Page 215

1 

# he says you’re wheezing, and now it’s four inhalers

2 

# a day for me. A guy that’s always done what he

3 

# wanted and when he wanted.

4 

# They’re about to turn the lights

5 

# out. I’m 76. You only get to be 80 on Gougar

6 

# Road, maybe 81, if you’re lucky, and it all seems

7 

# to be pneumonia, pneumonia, pneumonia, which goes

8 

# back to respiratory problems.

9 

# So on behalf of the people that

10 

# can’t be here, behalf of those people who know that

11 

# there is a prevailing wind that carries the sulfur

12 

# dioxide to Homer Township, thank you, and consider

13 

# us, please.

14 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you, sir.

15 

# By my calculations, we have one left, public

16 

# comment? We have two?

17 

# MS. RENDULICH: Mine is going to be short,

18 

# because I didn’t really write anything out. My

19 

# name is Ellen Rendulich. I’m with Citizens

20 

# Concerning the Environment.

21 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Could you please

22 

# spell your name for the court reporter.

23 

# MS. RENDULICH: R-e-n-d-u--l-i-c-h. I just

24 

# have a couple comments or questions

# Page 216

1 

# Well, first of all through this

2 

# whole day the majority of the talks have been about

3 

# jobs, but I thought this was a pollution hearing.

4 

# Is that not the case?

5 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Is that

6 

# rhetorical? It’s a Pollution Control Board

7 

# hearing, correct.

8 

# MS. RENDULICH: But isn’t pollution control

9 

# supposed to be helping the people with pollution

10 

# and not jobs?

11 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: I can’t answer.

12 

# It is rhetorical.

13 

# MS. RENDULICH: Well, the thing is, we can’t

14 

# fill up a room with people because people are

15 

# working. I mean, we don’t have the unions to

16 

# support us. We need these unions and we need these

17 

# people to have jobs, but I think Midwest Generation

18 

# should find a way to replace their employees. I

19 

# think it’s getting out of hand.

20 

# Midwest Generation is also saying

21 

# they’ve done all these great things, the pollution

22 

# controls, blah, blah, blah, but the thing is that

23 

# we, since 1995, have been trying to get the coal

24 

# companies to put pollution controls on, and most of

# Page 217

1 

# the time it was done only because of stuff the

2 

# environmentalists have done.

3 

# And the thing is is the S02. We’re

4 

# not only concerned with the coal plants, but

5 

# there’s other chemical industries out there, and

6 

# you have the accumulated effects

-- 

# or we have that

7 

# we’re breathing.

8 

# I live by

-- 

# you can see Midwest

9 

# Generation’s Romeoville facility outside my

10 

# windows, and on a clear day I can see Joliet’s and,

11 

# of course, when you go a little further east you

12 

# get the Chicago facilities.

13 

# So I think between my sister—inlaw

14 

# dying of lung disease, my husband with asthma,

15 

# myself with asthma, I would say nine out of 10

16 

# members of our group has some kind of respiratory

17 

# or asthma problems. There’s no way that they

18 

# should be given any variance at all.

19 

# We need pollution controls on now,

20 

# because how many more people will be sick or have

21 

# to go to the hospital with the extension that

22 

# theyvre giving.

23 

# If you don’t start now, we’re never

24 

# going to have clean air. So we’re going

12 

# I heard repeatedly today that

17 

# I personally went to Los Angeles

18

21 

# I know that you guys think that

22 

# you’re doing the right thing, but I really encourage

23 

# the board to listen to everybody and do the right

24

# housekeeping items.

11 

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Well, housekeeping

12 

# items I was going to do after closing. But the

13 

# only housekeeping item that I have, other than

14 

# thanking everyone, was based on the post—hearing

15 

# briefs.

16 

# I calculate the transcript should be

17 

# available by February 8th at the board’s website.

18 

# Midwest’s opening post-hearing brief

19 

# will be due on or before February 18th, and they

20 

# have to be filed with the board.

21 

# Public comment is due on or before

22 

# February the 18th.

23 

# The IEPA’s response is due

24

# HEARING OFFICER HALLORAN: Thank you.

7 

# On behalf of the board and the board

8 

# members and the staff, I really want to thank

9 

# everybody here sitting in the room. Not only the

10 

# parties and attorneys, but also the public for

11 

# their civility and professionalism.

12 

# And I want to thank, again, Joliet

13 

# Junior College. They just did a wonderful job.

14 

# And I thank you, and have a safe trip home. And I

15 

# understand, according to Tom Skilling, you may have

16 

# to build an arch here in a few hours, I think two

17 

# to three inches already. So, anyway, thank you.

18 

# Have a good day.
