5 MS. WONG: Can everyone hear me?

6 Welcome and good evening. The public hearing is

7 now in session. My name is Beatrice Wong and I am from

8 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Region 9

9 which is based in San Francisco. I'm the Public Hearing

10 Officer today and presiding official over this hearing.

11 You will have an opportunity to provide comments

12 once I explain some of the logistics and the ground

13 rules for this hearing. Just by way of introduction

14 with me tonight, are several other individuals from the

15 U.S. EPA Region 9 that I would like to introduce.

16 We have Kerry Drake, who is our Associate

17 Director in the Air Division. Gerardo Rios. He's in

18 the back. He's the Chief of the Air Permits Office.

19 Shaheerah Kelly is from the Air Permits Office as well

20 as Roberto Gutierrez. We have Cleveland Holladay, who

21 is from the Air Quality Analysis Office and Kara

22 Christenson, who is from the Office of Regional Counsel.

23 Also with us tonight is Nanishka Albaladejo, who

24 is an EPA contractor helping us with the logistics. And

25 our court reporter today is Julie Kelstrom. - December 10, 2013

31 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Turn the mic up. It's

2 hard to hear you.

3 MS. WONG: Is that better?

4 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Yeah, much better.

5 MS. WONG: So the purpose of today's hearing is

6 for EPA to accept comments, public comments, regarding

7 the EPA's proposed modification of the Prevention of

8 Significant Deterioration or PSD permit for the Sierra

9 Pacific Industries, Anderson Division, SPI-Anderson.

10 The permit modification would grant conditional

11 approval to SPI-Anderson to construct and operate an

12 additional new cogeneration unit and ancillary equipment

13 at its existing lumber manufacturing facility here in

14 Anderson, California.

15 This new cogeneration unit will be capable of

16 generating 31 megawatts of gross electrical output from

17 the combustion of clean cellulosic biomass, a 256 horse

18 power natural gas fire emergency engine and a two cell

19 cooling unit.

20 The PSD permit modification EPA is proposing

21 requires the use of best available control technology or

22 it's also called BACT, B-A-C-T, to limit emissions

23 nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, total particulate

24 matter, particulate matter under 10 micrometers in

25 diameter and particulate matter under 2.5 micrometers in - December 10, 2013

41 diameter and GHG up to the greatest extent feasible.

2 Air pollution emissions from the new cogeneration

3 unit will not cause or contribute to violations of any

4 National Ambient Air Quality Standards or any applicable

5 PSD increments for the pollutants regulated under the

6 PSD permit.

7 The proposed location for the project is located

8 at 19758 Riverside Avenue, here in Anderson, California,

9 96007, and the mailing address for SPI-Anderson is P.O.

10 Box 496028, Redding, California, 96049.

11 You can find details about the project and the

12 specific issues we are taking public comments on today

13 at the back of the room and also at EPA's website.

14 There are posters in the back with information.

15 EPA previously offered a public comment period in

16 September and October of 2012 on a previous version of

17 the PSD permit for the SPI-Anderson project and has

18 already considered and responded to all such comments.

19 In July of 2013, the EPA's Environmental Appeals

20 Board instructed EPA to reopen the permit proceedings,

21 hold a public hearing, issue a final permit decision and

22 respond to any new comments received during this hearing

23 and during this new comment period.

24 EPA Region 9 will consider all new written and

25 oral comments submitted during the public comment - December 10, 2013

51 period. My role as the presiding officer is to ensure

2 that the EPA receives oral public comments in an orderly

3 fashion. I will not be involved in the assessing or

4 responding to your comments. Likewise, I'm not involved

5 in EPA's final decision-making process for SPI-Anderson.

6 My only role and my sole role is really to

7 facilitate this public hearing to make sure that all

8 community members who wish to make an oral comment today

9 have equal opportunity to make those oral comments on

10 the issues as part of this administrative record.

11 Before we begin accepting your comments, I'd like

12 to describe the ground rules for the hearing. This

13 hearing is a formal legal proceeding and the comments

14 offered tonight will become part of the official

15 administrative record on which EPA will base its

16 decision.

17 Public notice of this hearing was given in

18 November of 2013 by publication in the local newspaper,

19 by posting on EPA's website and by mail or e-mail to

20 individuals on EPA's e-mail list or mailing list.

21 The purpose of this hearing, again, is for EPA to

22 listen to your comments. Therefore, EPA will not be

23 providing responses during the hearing. Rather, EPA

24 will prepare a written summary of the comments it

25 receives and EPA's responses to those comments. The - December 10, 2013

61 response to comments will be available at the time EPA

2 issues its final permit decision.

3 EPA will not make a final decision on the

4 proposed permit until all significant comments submitted

5 during this public comment period have been considered.

6 A Certified court reporter will be transcribing this

7 hearing and will be preparing a verbatim reporting or a

8 verbatim record of the hearing.

9 If you present oral comments at today's hearing,

10 please speak clearly and slowly so that the court

11 reporter can understand and record your comments

12 accurately. So that all those who wish to comment have

13 an opportunity to do so and also to assist the court

14 reporter in recording your comments accurately, I ask

15 that we don't interrupt the speaker or ask questions

16 during any presentation.

17 Also, note that any shouting or noise making or

18 any other disruptive behavior which prevents the

19 speakers or the hearing officials from being heard or

20 any other disruptions are not going to be permitted.

21 There is a registration table located right in

22 the back of the room to my right. You don't need to

23 register in order to attend this hearing. However, if

24 you would like to receive notice of the final decision

25 for this project you can write your name and put your - December 10, 2013

71 name and contact information on the registration form to

2 get on our mailing list to receive notice of the final

3 decision.

4 If you wish to make an oral comment tonight,

5 please fill out a "Speaker Card." It's these white

6 cards. They're also at the registration table. Please

7 write your name legibly on here, as I'll be using it to

8 call your name. The court reporter will also use it to

9 make sure that we get your name on the record

10 accurately.

11 Before stating your comments, I would ask that

12 you please state your name and to the extent that you

13 can, please spell your last name for the court reporter.

14 That will help her. And you should know that if you are

15 making an oral comment today, that fact that you're

16 making a comment as well as your name will be part of

17 our official record.

18 If you want a copy of today's transcript, you can

19 speak to the court reporter directly, but a copy of the

20 transcript will also be made available for inspection at

21 EPA's offices in San Francisco. EPA's contact

22 information, including our address, phone number and our

23 website is available on some of the informational

24 materials at the back of the room, if you need that

25 information. - December 10, 2013

81 If you don't wish to speak tonight, you can also

2 submit written comments for the official record. The

3 written comments may be submitted by mail or e-mail or

4 you can also drop them off. There's a comment box that

5 you can drop off comments in today.

6 If you submit written comments by mail, they

7 should be postmarked on or before January 10th of 2014.

8 Comments submitted by e-mail should also be submitted by

9 January 10, 2014. If you would like to make written

10 comments while you're here today, you can again, put

11 them in the box at the back of the room.

12 If you submit written comments -- it's not

13 necessary for you to also come up and make oral

14 comments, but you certainly can if you would like to.

15 Both written comments and oral comments are treated

16 equally and given equal consideration by EPA in making a

17 final decision.

18 EPA's notice of the final decision on this

19 permit, along with responses to both oral and written

20 comments will be sent to each person who has submitted

21 written comments or oral comments and to those who

22 provided contact information or who have signed up at

23 the registration table to receive notice, and provided a

24 mailing address or an e-mail address. The information

25 will also be posted on EPA's website. - December 10, 2013

91 EPA's final permit decision will become effective

2 30 days after service of the notice of the decision,

3 unless, (1) a later effective date is specified in that

4 decision, or (2) our decision is appealed to the

5 Environmental Appeals Board pursuant to 40 CFR part

6 124.19, or (3) there are no comments requesting a change

7 to the proposed permit decision, in which case the final

8 decision can become effective immediately upon issuance.

9 It's important for you to know that we are here

10 only to take comments on the specific issues that I

11 described earlier relating to EPA's proposed PSD permit

12 modification for SPI-Anderson. EPA will only consider

13 comments related to this proposed action in making its

14 final decision, so I ask that you refrain from making

15 comments that are not related to this specific action.

16 I will begin calling speakers who have filled out

17 and submitted a Speaker Request Form. We provided a

18 microphone for your convenience. In an attempt to

19 ensure that everyone has an opportunity to speak

20 tonight, I am asking speakers to please make your oral

21 comments brief.

22 This hearing ends around 9:00, so what I'm going

23 to do to make sure everyone has an opportunity to speak

24 is limit speaker comments to five minutes. You will

25 have a speaker timer at the table here that will have - December 10, 2013

101 three different lights.

2 The green light will light up when it's your turn

3 to speak. A yellow light will be lit when you have one

4 minute remaining. And then a red light will come on

5 when it's time for -- when your five minutes are done.

6 At which point when the five minutes are up, I

7 will ask you to stop and submit the remainder of your

8 comments in writing to us, or if there's time at the end

9 of the hearing and after all the speakers have had at

10 least the first opportunity to speak, you can certainly

11 come up and make additional comments. If we have a

12 second round, each person will again have five minutes

13 to make their oral comments.

14 So right now I'll call people up three at a time.

15 The first person can come up to the microphone and the

16 next two people can sit in these seats in waiting. If I

17 call your name and you're not in the room, I'll just put

18 your card at the end of the pile and we'll call you when

19 we get to the bottom. We will get to your name again as

20 it comes up.

21 Okay. So just one other logistical issue. If

22 anyone needs a restroom, they are out the door to the

23 left and it's your first right.

24 Okay. So I think we can begin with the speakers.

25 Curtis Brown, Virginia Phelps and Antonio Damian, Jr. - December 10, 2013

111 CURTIS BROWN: Thank you. I'd like to read this

2 little short spot here. The proposed permit

3 modification that EPA Region 9 is announcing today is

4 similar to the proposed permit modification that we

5 announced in September of 2012 and issued in February

6 2013, subject to the filing of the EPA permit for

7 petition. However, it now includes GHG emission limits

8 and related requirements.

9 So anyway, I'd like to thank the Environmental

10 Protection Agency, which I don't do very often, but

11 they've done a good job. They got the permit done and

12 in and it should have been over. You should have had a

13 meeting to let people get up and talk, say whatever they

14 wanted to and it would have been over and done.

15 But anyway, I'd like to point out that whatever

16 this plant out here is burning, nothing but clean steam

17 is coming out of it, the same as Wheelabrator here at

18 the south of town. And whatever requirement that the

19 Environmental Protection Agency has put on that plant is

20 more than sufficient.

21 And I'd like to point out something. They should

22 have the people out here in Whiskeytown National Forest

23 and the Lassen National Forest provide the labor and the

24 shredders and what have you. The Wheelabrator and this

25 type of plant up here, Sierra Pacific, they should - December 10, 2013

121 provide the trucking and haul that wood out of the woods

2 up there to down here instead of setting it on fire and

3 letting it burn.

4 About 30 percent of their fires get out of

5 control and burn everything, burn all kinds of stuff up,

6 burn businesses up, burn homes, burn everything and

7 they're not held accountable. You cannot fire those

8 people for doing something stupid. They're protected by

9 that. "No, you cannot fire them." Anytime you get

10 that, what you're getting is an ego stretched out past

11 their shoulders.

12 I know people that are Volunteer Fire fighters

13 and they've been called both of these fires, the one up

14 there in Lassen Park that got away and cost $15 or $17,

15 or I forget how many millions of dollars. They had that

16 fire put out almost and go, and the wind was blowing

17 like hell.

18 The same thing happened up here in Whiskeytown

19 National Forest. There was a fire up there. I forget

20 the name of it, something Ridge. I don't know. But

21 anyway, they were on that fire and they had it almost

22 out. And the guy made them let it go. It doesn't make

23 sense.

24 The amount of emissions that they put in the air,

25 in these forests, doing that type of burning is nothing - December 10, 2013

131 compared to what a business puts out. We need these

2 businesses and they do a good job and they burn them

3 clean. You don't see nothing but steam coming out of

4 either one of these facilities.

5 And the Environmental Protection Agency has

6 already seen that, I notated, back in '09 and '12 and

7 '13. That should have been good enough. That's why I

8 commended the Environmental Protection Agency for that.

9 They had already issued that permit.

10 And people complained about it. You're going to

11 have people that don't understand. They don't see it

12 from a common sense point of view and some people just

13 want to stop all production. You have to look at it

14 from the common sense point of view and try to get the

15 Forest Service to agree with that.

16 Wheelabrator tried to deal with them. They

17 wanted them to supply the labor up there, cutting it

18 down and everything. They would supply the trucking.

19 And the guy refused to do it. And you tell me that he

20 hasn't spent more money up there wasted it on fighting

21 fires than he would have putting the labor out there.

22 No. He spent a hell of a lot more out there with fires

23 getting away from them.

24 Thank you for listening to me.

25 VIRGINIA PHELPS: My name is Virginia Phelps. - December 10, 2013

141 That's P-H-E-L-P-S. Jobs are good. Taxes enable

2 government to perform critical services. Greenhouse gas

3 emissions are problematic.

4 Due to the closure of a Southern California

5 nuclear power plant, greenhouse gas emissions have

6 increased for the first time since 2008. If greenhouse

7 gases are indeed causing problems, all increases must be

8 cautiously considered and the cumulative impacts of

9 landscape changes taken into account.

10 We, as in all of us, are totally dependent upon

11 the systems the earth has designed. We have changed

12 much of that landscape and cannot go back in time. But

13 if we acknowledge our earth connection, we can maintain

14 a sustainable world. Thank you.

15 ANTONIO DAMIAN, JR: Antonio Damian, D-A-M-I-A-N,

16 Jr. I was just commenting on that the ambient air

17 quality will be increased with the proposal. So I guess

18 the drums are beating. It's going to be roughly 85,000

19 cars sitting in one spot, emitting pollution for 24

20 hours a day, 365 days a year. It's a lot of air

21 pollution around here. We have the weather and

22 everything. So I think that's quite a bit.

23 I think the other kind of comparison we came up

24 with was that it's roughly 150,000, 200,000 chimneys in

25 the area that are -- would be going up. - December 10, 2013

151 So, I guess, my proposal would be to Sierra

2 Pacific, if any, they would be inclined to maybe buy

3 wood stoves for everybody in the surrounding area within

4 10 miles or something like that to compensate for the

5 pollution they're putting out.

6 I mean, they're up there with that ambient air

7 quality pretty high. I guess your standard is 188 and

8 you are at 153. So that's a lot of pollution that isn't

9 here and will be here forever.

10 I'm not sure how long this bio fuel thing is

11 going. It's probably going to go for 50 years, 60 years

12 or so. So that's 85,000 cars running 24/7, 150,000,

13 200,000 wood burning stoves going 24/7 on this

14 property.

15 So there is air pollution. There is air

16 pollution there. There's the highway that's going down

17 I-5 that also is polluting the air. And so I think

18 maybe there should be some consideration, for possibly

19 in the ten-mile radius, to supply EPA wood stoves for

20 everyone at Sierra Pacific's cost or half or something

21 to compensate for the air pollution, because there is

22 quite a bit and it will be here forever and they are

23 self-monitored.

24 I know that EPA monitors this from afar and our

25 air pollution and air quality, and the Shasta County Air - December 10, 2013

161 Quality Management District, will supervise it also.

2 But I think it's quite a bit of pollution in the area

3 with their other unit, Wheelabrator, down the road.

4 So I think a good enough proposal would be

5 10-mile radius where they compensate the surrounding

6 areas with stoves or wood stoves or whatever it may be.

7 I think it's a lot of pollution and it should maybe be

8 taken down a notch.

9 See if this is the best technology available that

10 we can get to bring those ambient air numbers down if

11 there's nothing else available. I mean, the best

12 technology -- we don't know what the best technology is.

13 I guess that's kind of the ongoing factor.

14 That's just my comment. Thank you very much. I

15 do appreciate you guys. You're doing a great job.

16 You're very informative. I really appreciate it. Thank

17 you very much.

18 MS. WONG: Shane Young, Tim Azevedo and Dave

19 Scott.

20 SHANE YOUNG: Good evening. My name is Shane

21 Young, Y-O-U-N-G. I'm the Division Manager of the

22 Anderson facility for Sierra Pacific Industries.

23 On behalf of Sierra Pacific, I would like to

24 thank you guys for taking your time and being here

25 tonight. A little history about the project. This - December 10, 2013

171 cogeneration project has been through proper permitting

2 procedures in preparation of the draft Environmental

3 Impact Report on July 9, 2009, in this very room.

4 A scoping meeting was held July 21, 2009. The

5 first draft Environmental Impact Report was published

6 for 45 days, from August 6, 2010, to September 20, 2010.

7 A recirculated draft Environmental Impact Report

8 was published for 45 days, from September 2, 2011, to

9 October 17, 2011, to address global climate change.

10 A second recirculated draft of the Environmental

11 Impact Report was published for another 45 days, from

12 February 15, 2012, to April 2, 2012, addressing global

13 climate change again.

14 On June 14, 2012, the Environmental Impact Report

15 was completed and in compliance with the California

16 Environmental Compliance Act and CEQA guidelines and

17 passed by the Shasta County Planning Commission.

18 The Environmental Impact Report was appealed to

19 the Shasta County Board of Supervisors on June 18, 2012.

20 The Shasta County Board of Supervisors conducted a

21 duly-noticed public hearing and considered the appeal on

22 July 17, 2012. The Board of Supervisors passed and

23 adopted the Environmental Impact Report on that day.

24 The PSD application was determined to be

25 administratively complete on October 4, 2010. EPA - December 10, 2013

181 Region 9 received public comment from September 14,

2 2012, to October 17, 2012. The previous PSD was signed

3 on February 19, 2013, and this PSD permit was appealed.

4 That brings us to today, four years and five

5 months later. This project has been under the most

6 environmental scrutiny possible. Sierra Pacific

7 Industries believes that this is a good project in every

8 aspect. The plant and the state-of-the-art technology

9 will be among the most efficient and most emission

10 compliant of its type in the nation.

11 The construction process will employ over 50

12 workers from various local contractors. The new plant

13 will employ 8 to 10 new permanent jobs, in addition to

14 approximately 300 indirect jobs will be created in

15 transportation, forestry and related fields.

16 The new facility will create green power and

17 renewable wood fiber sources. This will assist the

18 state in obtaining 33 percent its power from renewable

19 sources by 2020. Shasta County will benefit from the

20 project with new tax revenue and continue job

21 stability.

22 The new facility will also prepare Sierra Pacific

23 for growth for the future. SPI invests in new and

24 better technology and continues to keep its plants

25 modern. This commitment will keep SPI strong and - December 10, 2013

191 demanding in a competitive industry for years to come.

2 Sierra Pacific is a family-owned company and

3 employs over 3,000 employees in California. We supply

4 good paying stable jobs in the communities where we

5 operate our facilities.

6 Tonight we ask the EPA to approve this project so

7 we can get people to work and start getting ready for

8 the future. Thank you for your consideration.

9 TIM AZEVEDO: Good evening. My name is Tim

10 Azevedo, A-Z-E-V-E-D-O. I'm the Superintendent of the

11 high schools located in the south of Shasta County.

12 I'd like to say that Sierra Pacific is not in our

13 community. They are part of our community. They

14 support a multitude of projects around here that benefit

15 our kids at the high school level, whether it's grant

16 programs or educational programs that without their

17 assistance we would not be able to duplicate.

18 They have been supportive for many, many years

19 and they're a part of the fiber that exists down here,

20 and they've always been responsive and responsible to

21 our community. I would say that down the road if there

22 is an issue, that there are plenty of government

23 agencies, because I deal with a bunch of them, I'm sure

24 they would step in and advise them on how to correct

25 them and stuff. - December 10, 2013

201 Like I said, they've always been responsive.

2 They're a part of what exists here. It would create

3 jobs and jobs are an important part of a community.

4 Jobs that support families and families generate kids

5 and schools, it's just a domino effect.

6 We have an excellent relationship with Sierra

7 Pacific even as a school district. They have no need to

8 help us, and they always have. And they've always been

9 responsible about the manner in which they do it.

10 So we would ask also that this project be

11 approved and to support the community. Thank you.

12 DAVE SCOTT: My name is Dave Scott, S-C-O-T-T.

13 I'm speaking from two perspectives tonight. The first

14 is as a member of the Board of Directors of the Economic

15 Development Corporation in Shasta County. I've been

16 asked by Chairman, Wayne Pohlmeyer, and Executive

17 Director, Mark Lascelles, to provide full support on

18 behalf of the Board of the EDC, for Sierra Pacific's

19 request.

20 It not only offers a number of jobs in the

21 construction phase, but also for the long haul, and we

22 think it's a very viable project and a good project.

23 Secondly, I'm speaking as a Certified Public

24 Accountant. My firm represents a number of logging

25 contractors, log truckers, timber fallers, who represent - December 10, 2013

211 literally thousands of employees who are employed

2 indirectly by Sierra Pacific Industries.

3 These people work hard in the woods to literally

4 remove every component of the harvested timber and bring

5 it to the mill, including now slash that had previously

6 been burned in the forest, now will be brought in to

7 support this cogeneration plant.

8 It's a good project, a clean project and I

9 sincerely hope EPA will respond favorably on Sierra

10 Pacific's request. Thank you.

11 MS. WONG: Butch Schaefer, Norma Comnick and Russ

12 Wade.

13 BUTCH SCHAEFER: Good evening. My name is Butch

14 Schaefer, S-C-H-A-E-F-E-R. I'm a lifetime resident of

15 Shasta County pretty much.

16 I grew up watching a number of lumber mills that

17 functioned in our county. We watched those dry up and

18 go away. Now we have an opportunity to make things a

19 little bit better for our community by having a project

20 like this.

21 This is a good thing economically, job creating

22 and supporting the community, which we desperately need.

23 These people have worked and been good neighbors to all

24 of us, whether it's the county or this city. They've

25 done an excellent job and being involved in our - December 10, 2013

221 community.

2 I think if they have done everything required of

3 them when they received that permit some time ago, and

4 then we come back again because we have to have more

5 public hearings, which sometimes cause more delays and

6 more delays and we get nowhere.

7 I strongly encourage that the EPA get behind this

8 project and support what Sierra Pacific is trying to do

9 and help keep our community strong. Thank you.

10 NORMA COMNICK: My name is Norma Comnick,

11 C-O-M-N-I-C-K. I am a former City Council member of

12 Anderson. I also owned an insurance agency where I

13 insured the trucks for the loggers and the logging

14 operations, and many of these people were employed by

15 Sierra Pacific in their mills.

16 We have a cogeneration plant in Anderson. It's

17 never been a problem and Sierra Pacific has never been a

18 problem to us. Although, they are not in the City of

19 Anderson, they are our best neighbor outside the city.

20 They provide a lot of services here for the

21 people that work for them. They live here. They trade

22 here. They bring money into our community. Sierra

23 Pacific has been a big supporter of our kids in this

24 town and the schools. They support our fireworks that

25 we have here and they support a lot of other things that - December 10, 2013

231 we have.

2 So if they have complied with it, I don't know

3 what the problem is, other than somebody just thinks, I

4 guess, we should just keep going and keep having these

5 hearings and whatever. They've got their permit

6 already.

7 I don't know why we have to keep doing this, but

8 it's taking up time. It's preventing them from

9 finishing their plan. But that will provide a lot of

10 jobs in the city and county, and we need these jobs. We

11 need this plant, and I wish it would get done now and

12 give them their permit and let us go. Thank you.

13 RUSS WADE: Russ Wade, W-A-D-E.

14 I'm just taking this right out of the Record

15 Searchlight. 330,000 tons of greenhouse gases. Is this

16 being released into the valley? Why? Why can't that be

17 controlled? Cogeneration is a good idea. Polluting the

18 air, using it as a garbage pit is not.

19 Four hundred seventy-two tons of carbon monoxide

20 should not be released in the air, and 272 tons of

21 nitrous oxide, a major pollutant should not be released

22 in the air. Why not create a technology that captures

23 and uses these gases, instead of just using the air as a

24 garbage pit.

25 This valley is -- holds the air in, and when you - December 10, 2013

241 have these kind of pollutants, it's going to affect two

2 things, people with respiratory issues and we have a

3 wonderful recreation industry up here. If we get the

4 air too polluted, it's going to affect that. I just

5 want to be sure that these gases are captured. Thank

6 you.

7 MS. WONG: Okay. We have Pat Allison, John

8 Dunlap and David Brown.

9 PAT ALLISON: My name is Pat Allison. It's

10 A-L-L-I-S-O-N. I'm the Principal at the Anderson New

11 Technology High School located about a few blocks from

12 here, and we have many students who have benefited from

13 scholarships that SPI has provided almost every year.

14 SPI has always been a good neighbor to us. They

15 participate on panels and judge our students' projects

16 as well as our senior boards each year.

17 And we do need jobs in this community. I grew up

18 here and watched the community change over time. We

19 have students that are graduating, and many of them have

20 to leave the area because they can't find jobs here, so

21 jobs are very, very important to this community. Thank

22 you.

23 JOHN DUNLAP: I am John Dunlap, D-U-N-L-A-P. I

24 have no connection to Sierra Pacific Industries. I'm a

25 licensed civil engineer, structural engineer. I've - December 10, 2013

251 lived in this community, had a business here for a lot

2 of years.

3 The Environmental Protect Act says that

4 mitigation measures are to be examined. I think one

5 that's not examined nearly enough was spoken about from

6 another speaker that we have control burns here every

7 year. I think the mitigation measures should include

8 the fact that that material could be carried down here,

9 processed in the plants such as the one that SPI has

10 proposed expanding as opposed to burning it in place.

11 It's certainly viable. It releases a lot more into the

12 air than their plant.

13 I looked it up again tonight, just to be sure I

14 had the number correct. I got it from the U.S.

15 Geological Survey site. One mature oak tree puts 165

16 tons of water emission into the air every year, one

17 tree. Now, I'm not going to compare emissions from

18 burning fires to oak tree emissions, but it's astounding

19 to find out the volume of water provided by one oak

20 tree.

21 So let's talk about the volumes rather than the

22 quality of the emissions. Guess how many oak trees

23 there are between here and Redding. A thousand? Two

24 thousand? Three thousand? Each one of them putting

25 somewhere, conservatively, around 100 tons of water per - December 10, 2013

261 year. Now, if somebody wants to multiply that out and

2 come back, you could build a case that would be a flood

3 plain. We'd drown with that much water.

4 So when you start talking about emissions and you

5 come up with 472 tons, 272 tons, it sounds huge, until

6 you put it into comparison about what one oak tree has.

7 Now again, I want to make it clear I'm not comparing

8 water vapor to emissions from burning trees up at

9 Whiskeytown Lake.

10 I will add that my family has been in this area

11 for over 140 years. I have now retired from my business

12 and this area is extremely important to me. I am in the

13 outdoors a lot. I do not want to see a degradation of

14 the area any worse than it is. I think this is not

15 going to affect it. It would be minuscule.

16 Regarding SPI. I just finished a long term on

17 the Mosquito Board of Shasta County. We have had mild

18 virus here, a lot of other things, and the SPI mill

19 could have been a major contributor to this. They're

20 excellent.

21 They work with us in every way keeping the

22 mosquito populations down. It doesn't get a lot of

23 publicity, but they are a very good neighbor. They went

24 out and worked with our people, used their cranes, along

25 with other things. So as somebody else said, they are - December 10, 2013

271 not just in this area. They are a part of this area.

2 Secondly, this is my 14 year of retirement, but I

3 had an engineering planning business in town for a long

4 time. When I sold that business ten or 12 years ago, I

5 had 43 employees. I would say that firm now is down to

6 11 employees. We are in vital need of leadership-type

7 jobs in this community.

8 SPI, everywhere you look on the boards of

9 community activities, they provide those kind of people.

10 I don't have the number now, but it's been published how

11 many hours SPI employees put in at public service.

12 Now, I realize you can be a great neighbor and

13 still be a terrible polluter. I hope I made the point

14 to begin with that this pollution can be mitigated.

15 It's nowhere near the degree that's been inferred by

16 others and they are a wonderful neighbor. So I urge

17 that their permit be approved. Thank you.

18 DAVE BROWN: My name is Dave Brown, B-R-O-W-N.

19 I'm here for myself. I'm a resident of Anderson. My

20 kids go to Anderson schools.

21 I really want to talk about two bullets on the

22 display over here on the right. It's talking about the

23 best available control technology, determinations and

24 also effects on ambient air.

25 I look at ambient air in two different ways. One - December 10, 2013

281 is looking at it literally on a facility on a postage

2 stamp or in your car. I also look at ambient air as

3 what's happening in the county. There's been a lot of

4 speakers tonight talking about control burns, fires,

5 things of that nature. That's exactly what I look at

6 when I look at ambient air.

7 When I think of the effect of the proposed

8 facility on ambient air, we need 20 of these facilities.

9 It's ridiculous to still have as many controlled burns

10 that's happened that put out so much more pollution that

11 is uncontrolled.

12 These facilities are first class. They reduce

13 VOCs, COs and NOx emissions. CO2 stays the same, but

14 it's an incredible reduction. It's by not having this

15 facility having been approved earlier years ago, you

16 know what, the effect today is there's more pollution in

17 the air today because this wasn't approved years ago.

18 I am concerned on the BACT determinations

19 specific for greenhouse gas emissions, and the examples

20 in the AAQIR relate to five other facilities. Each one

21 of these facilities, three of them, are within the past

22 year. The other two are within the past two years.

23 Being an engineer myself, I am concerned about

24 having a hard greenhouse gas emission limit for a

25 project where there really isn't a history of making - December 10, 2013

291 sure the greenhouse gas emission limits even work. I

2 would suggest that instead of a hard limit, that this

3 becomes something else for the first year or three years

4 to really watch and see what happens.

5 What I mean by that is right now having a hard

6 limit with the facility when there's so much other open

7 burning and areas of pollution in this region seems to

8 discourage having good combustion. It seems like we're

9 trying to encourage open burning because a guy can get a

10 permit over the counter. Why would he go spend

11 four-and-a-half years trying to put in a facility.

12 I am in support of this project. I do think it

13 will lead towards fuel production and provide jobs and

14 other good benefits. And I do appreciate EPA going out

15 of their way to set up this meeting.

16 MS. WONG: We have Trish Clark, Celeste, I think

17 it's Draisner and David Craft. I'm sorry if I pronounce

18 your name wrong.

19 TRISH CLARK: Good evening and thank you for this

20 opportunity to speak in favor of Sierra Pacific

21 Industries' application for a permit modification to

22 allow for the construction and operation of an

23 additional new cogeneration unit at their current site

24 in Anderson.

25 My name is Trish Clark. I served Shasta County - December 10, 2013

301 as an elected official from 1986 to 2006, including

2 terms as Mayor, City Councilman, Chairman of the Board

3 of Supervisors, and have also served during that period

4 on the Shasta County Air Quality Control Board. It was

5 my privilege during that period to work closely with

6 Sierra Pacific Industries on many projects, some of

7 theirs and some of mine.

8 They have for many years proven themselves to be

9 good and responsible stewards of the land and the

10 environment. In striving constantly to ensure a healthy

11 future for their lands and their company, they also

12 provide for the future of our community.

13 They are totally involved in supporting a

14 community where their facilities are located. They

15 provide hundreds of good jobs, support for their

16 employees and their families and they provide local

17 scholarships for students and have financially supported

18 projects throughout Shasta County.

19 I and currently the President of the Frontier

20 Senior Center in Anderson. Sierra Pacific has from the

21 beginning been a willing partner in providing support

22 for that ongoing operation, fully and dependent

23 senior-owned non-government supported senior center.

24 I am confident that this new cogeneration plant

25 will in no way negatively impact this community and the - December 10, 2013

311 city that has been my home since 1977. I thank you for

2 your consideration and ask for swift approval of this

3 project. Thank you.

4 MS. WONG: Celeste Draisner. Did I say your name

5 right?

6 CELSESTE DRAISNER: Close enough. Celeste

7 Draisner. That's D-R-A-I-S-N-E-R.

8 First of all, I would like to thank everybody

9 that came here, and I would like to thank Sierra Pacific

10 for helping to bring people from the community here. I

11 would like to thank Trish Clark who spoke. I would like

12 to thank Shane Young and Dave Brown for being kind to me

13 when I met with them at the corporate offices. And I

14 would like to thank Curtis Brown for disagreeing with

15 me. I'll try to answer a few questions from the

16 audience and will put my very brief comments on the

17 record.

18 In terms of why are we doing this, we the

19 Citizens For Clean Air decided to ask the EPA for a

20 public hearing because they are the permitting agency

21 and we were hoping that we could get the factory built

22 cleaner using best available control technology, which

23 according to (inaudible) of the EPA, is not being used

24 because of invention.

25 So we would like to see the factory built - December 10, 2013

321 cleaner. That's why we asked for the community to come

2 and why we asked for the EPA to come here, so that we

3 would have the factory built as clean as possible with

4 the least amount of environmental impact to Shasta

5 County, especially to the children who live here.

6 In terms of what Curtis Brown said of the forest

7 mismanagement, I am not going to disagree that the

8 forests -- I mean, they're in trouble. There's a lot of

9 fires, people operating on red burn days, cutting the

10 trees down or operating lawn mowers or heavy equipment.

11 That's bad. Fires can start very easily in Redding,

12 California. It's a big problem.

13 But that's a separate issue from the building of

14 a factory that relies entirely on biofuels to operate.

15 I would only point out that the most impact that it has

16 had on the Forest Service and USDA and the policy, the

17 biggest lobbyist, is the timber.

18 So there is some culpability of big timber in

19 terms of how they lobby the USDA. I would encourage

20 Sierra Pacific and all of the logging companies to use

21 the power of logging to help protect our forests and

22 help protect our community.

23 My question to EPA -- I'm trying to be brief

24 here. My is question to EPA is do factories require

25 permits to operate? Because there are a lot of - December 10, 2013

331 factories that Sierra Pacific owns and is operating that

2 do not have permits to operate.

3 Knauf fiberglass operated for at least three

4 years without a permit to operate, while in violation of

5 emission limits for particulate matter. And, you know,

6 particulate matter you can't see it, but it's dangerous.

7 You can't see radon, but it will kill you.

8 So my question is -- is the current facility in

9 Anderson, the 4 megawatt facility, doesn't have a permit

10 to operate. It expired on its two-year extension last

11 January 19. So we're modifying a permit that doesn't

12 exist. How do you do that? How do you modify a permit

13 to build a much larger facility next door on a permit

14 that doesn't exist?

15 And that 4 megawatt facility according to ECHO,

16 EPA's own website, was out of compliance for its entire

17 existence, five-year existence, but it was there. How

18 do you modify a permit that does not exist? And why is

19 the best available control technology being looked at

20 for a 4 megawatt facility that has never been in

21 compliance? "Significant non-compliance" is what it

22 says on the ECHO website.

23 Those would be my questions. I would like to

24 thank everyone who came here. Thank you so much. If

25 anyone disagrees with me, that's great. Please feel - December 10, 2013

341 free to come to me and talk to me. I'm a pleasure to

2 talk to, I think. I want to respect other people's

3 points of view. I just really want to thank everybody

4 for coming here. I want the community to be part of

5 this. Thank you.

6 MS. WONG: David Craft.

7 DAVID CRAFT: My name is David Craft, C-R-A-F-T.

8 I apologize. I lost my notes on the computer, so I'll

9 just wing it.

10 The first thing I would like to bring up is the

11 issue of atmospheric thermal decline. The temperatures

12 in Redding have been a little bit warmer in the morning

13 than Anderson actually is. So I really feel like

14 Anderson kind of needs it's own air monitoring device,

15 so we know exactly what is going on in Anderson itself.

16 Just because of the I-5 corridor, a relatively small air

17 basin here, I don't think Redding or Chico could be a

18 really good representative of that.

19 The second thing has to do with particulates.

20 There have been times in the past, I know, they got

21 construction going on up there and there's some old

22 larger log decks. I remember one time the wind was

23 blowing from the north and we looked up and thought

24 there was a fire. It was not a fire just black

25 particulates that were blowing off the property that - December 10, 2013

351 looked like smoke.

2 I'm sure there's going to be mitigation measures

3 to try and deal with dust and particulates. I realize

4 that -- I'm hoping that it's being built with the best

5 available control technology. I think that is important

6 considering the air basin that we have here.

7 Probably the real reason why I'm here is because

8 we had a brief history that the -- the history of SPI --

9 the history of SPI when I did my research besides living

10 here, I thought I would do some research online. When I

11 did research online, I got concerned about a commitment

12 to environmental standards, past fines and so forth.

13 So I'm hoping that the testing and the accuracy

14 and so forth of the emission control devices will be on

15 a fairly strict basis, as strict as practical in terms

16 of calibration and so forth, and they would seriously

17 consider remote testing, so that we know what's going on

18 off site in realtime 24/7. Remote testing and possibly

19 even available third-party oversight, so we know that

20 there's no -- so the naysayers can say there's no

21 pollution between the EPA and corporation versus, you

22 know, what's in the public's best interest.

23 That's pretty much it. Thank you.

24 MS. WONG: I don't have any other speaker cards

25 right now. We're scheduled to be here until 9:00 and - December 10, 2013

361 take public comments until 9:00.

2 Is there anybody who would like to speak?

3 Otherwise, I will go off record until we have someone

4 who wishes to make a public comment.

5 Okay. Then I'll go off record for a little bit

6 and come back on in probably about a half hour.

7 (Off the record.)

8 MS. WONG: I'm going to go back on record to see

9 if there are any additional comments.

10 We'll go back off record for another 15 minutes

11 then.

12 (Off the record.)

13 MS. WONG: Are there any other comments at this

14 time?

15 Okay. We'll go off record for 10 minutes and see

16 if there are additional comments. Thanks.

17 (Off the record.)

18 MS. WONG: Are there any other comments?

19 We will conclude the meeting.

20 (Whereupon proceedings concluded at 9:00 p.m.)
