Subject: Oklahoma Regional Haze State Implementation Plan ("SIP") Revision 

Including Revisions to Affected Portions of the Interstate Transport SIP for 

1997 8-HourOzone and 1997 PM25 NAAQS 

Dear Mr. Curry: 

MARY FAW~ 

GOVERNOR 

In a letter to your predecessor dated March 30, 2011, Governor Mary Fallin appointed me as her 

designee for the purpose of submitting documents to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) for approval and incorporation into the State Implementation Plan ("SIP") for the State of 

Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") is given the primary 

responsibility and authority to prepare and implement the state's air quality management plan 

under the Oklahoma Statutes. 

Accordingly, the State of Oklahoma submits for your review under §§ 110 and 169A of the 

federal Clean Air Act and 40 CFR Part 51, a revision of the Oklahoma Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan, submitted in February 2010, and the associated evidence as required by 40 

CFR 51, Appendix V, 2.1. This revision of the Regional Haze SIP addresses EPA's regional haze 

regulations, 40 CFR § 51.308, as they relate to the BART determination for American Electric 

Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma ("AEP/PSO") Northeastern Power Station Units 3 

& 4. Also, this SIP revision includes revisions to affected portions of the Interstate Transport SIP 

for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and 1997 PM25 NAAQS, submitted in May 2007 (including 

supplemental information submitted in November 2007), and is intended to replace the related 

EPA-issued I-lP as it relates to the subject facility. 

In a letter dated March 20, 2013, parallel processing of this submittal in accordance with the EPA 

guidance in Janet McCabe's October 31, 2011 Memorandum (Subject: Options and Efficiency 

Tools for EPA Action on State [mplementation Plan Submittals) was requested. DEQ conducted 

a public hearing regarding the SIP revision on May 20, 2013. While there were minor wording 

changes to address comments received during the comment period, no substantive changes were 

made to the proposed SIP revision. 

As required by 40 CFR § 51.1 03( a) and regional guidance, included with this letter are two paper 

copies and an identical electronic copy (on CD) of the submittal. Electronic access to the 

submittal is also currently available via a link on the DEQ Regional Haze webpage at:

Dear Federal Land Managers and State Air Program Directors:

The State of Oklahoma has prepared a proposed Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision under 40 CFR §

51.308 to address certain disapproved portions of the SIP related to the Best Available Retrofit Technology ("BART")

determination for two 490 MW coal-fired steam electric generating units, designated as Units 3 & 4, located at American

Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma's ("AEP/PSO's") Northeastern Power Station in Rogers County,

Oklahoma. DEQ has scheduled a public hearing regarding the Regional Haze SIP revision for Monday, May 20, 2013 from

1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the 1st Floor Multipurpose Room of the DEQ, 707 North Robinson Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK

73102. The comment period is scheduled to end at the close of the public hearing. DEQ has set up a webpage to give Federal

Land Managers (FLMs) and border/potentially affected states access to a copy of the proposed SIP revision and related

materials in advance of posting/publishing the hearing notice for the general public. The web address for your advance access

is:

http://www.deq.state.ok.us/aqdnew/RulesAndPlanning/Regional_Haze_rev2013

On January 27, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") partially approved and partially disapproved the

Oklahoma’s Regional Haze SIP (76 Fed.Reg. 81727). In the same action, EPA disapproved portions of Oklahoma’s Interstate

Transport SIP for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and 1997 PM NAAQS, as well as the Regional Haze SIP’s Long Term Strategy 2.5

because they relied on the disapproved portions of the Regional Haze SIP.

This revision implements relevant portions of a settlement agreement reached among EPA, the Oklahoma Secretary of

Environment, DEQ, U.S. Department of Justice, AEP/PSO and the Sierra Club. It is intended to replace the related

EPA-issued Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) as it relates to the subject facility. The proposed SIP revision also includes

revisions to affected portions of the Interstate Transport SIP, submitted in May 2007 (including supplemental information

submitted in November 2007), and is intended to replace the related EPA-issued FIP as it relates to the subject facility.

This notification is intended to provide your agency with an opportunity for consultation at least 60 days before the public

hearing on this implementation plan revision. This consultation will give you the opportunity to discuss, by conference call

or in person if you prefer, your assessment of:

• Impairment of visibility at the Wichita Mountains and at other Class I areas;

• Recommendations on the development of reasonable progress goals; and

• Recommendations on strategies to address visibility impairment.

Simultaneous with this notification, we are submitting this proposed Regional Haze SIP revision to EPA Region VI with

a request for parallel processing in accordance with the settlement agreement and EPA policy guidance. Notice of the

public hearing and comment period will be posted by Tuesday, April 19, 2013 on DEQ’s Regional Haze webpage:

http://www.deq.state.ok.us/aqdnew/RulesAndPlanning/Regional_Haze/index.htm

Following the close of the hearing and comment period, DEQ will evaluate all comments, and make available a record of the

1
hearing, a copy of all written comments received, a response to comments document, and the finalized Regional Haze SIP

Revision on the same webpage when it is ready for submittal to EPA.

Written comments regarding the proposed revision to Oklahoma’s Regional Haze SIP should be emailed to Ms. Bradley

Notice of Public Hearing and Opportunity for Comment 

Revision to Regional Haze State Implementation Plan 

Including Revisions to Affected Portions of the Interstate Transport SIP 

for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS 

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) hereby announces a public hearing and an 

opportunity to comment on a proposed revision to Oklahoma’s Regional Haze State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). The hearing will be held on Monday, May 20, 2013 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00p.m., in the 1st

Floor Multipurpose Room of the DEQ headquarters, 707 North Robinson Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 

73102. 

Under the Oklahoma Clean Air Act (27A OS §§2-5-101 thru 117), DEQ is given the primary 

responsibility and authority to prepare and implement Oklahoma’s air quality management plan,

SIP in February 2010, to comply with the requirements contained in the federal Clean Air Act and 40 

CFR Part 51, Subpart P, Protection of Visibility. On January 27, 2012, the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (“EPA”) partially approved and partially disapproved the Regional Haze SIP (76 

Fed.Reg. 81727). In the same action, EPA disapproved portions of Oklahoma’s Interstate Transport 

SIP, as well as the Regional Haze SIP’s Long Term Strategy because they relied on the disapproved

portions of the Regional Haze SIP. This revision addresses those disapproved portions of the Regional 

Haze SIP that relate to the American Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma 

(“AEP/PSO”) Northeastern Power Station Units 3 and 4. 

All persons interested in these matters are invited to submit written comments prior to the scheduled 

close of the public hearing (i.e., 3:00 p.m. on Monday, May 20, 2013) and/or provide oral comments at 

the public hearing. Persons planning to comment at the hearing may submit a written statement and/or 

additional information relevant to this matter for inclusion in the record of proceedings of the public 

hearing. The hearing officer may limit the length of oral presentations to allow all those who wish to 

provide oral comments an opportunity to do so.

Comments on the Revised Best Available Retrofit Technology Determination 

for American Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma 

Northeastern Power Station Units 3 and 4 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) appreciates the opportunity to review and comment 

on the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) Proposed Best Available 

Retrofit Technology (BART) Determinations for American Electric Power/Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (AEP/PSO) Northeastern Power Station Units 3 and 4. The proposal 

would include retiring Northeastern Unit 4, and installing dry sorbent injection, a fabric filter 

baghouse and other controls at Northeastern Unit 3, by April16, 2016. 

Reference to the relevant authority within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

regulations that provide for this BART action should be included in the Proposed BART 

documentation. 1 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix Y, section V states, "You should consider allowing 

sources to "average" emissions across any set of BART-eligible emission units within a fence 

line, so long as the emission reductions from each pollutant being controlled for BART would be 

equal to those reductions that would be obtained by simply controlling each ofthe BARTeligible units that constitute BART-eligible source."2 This may be the regulatory citation that 

could provide for the BART action that is being taken. 

On Page 6 of the Revised BART Determination it states that all cost analyses were based on an 

85% capacity factor. Appendix Y states, "When you project that future operating parameters 

(e.g., limited hours of operation or capacity utilization, type of fuel, raw materials or product mix 

or type) will differ from past practice, and if the projection has a deciding effect on the BART 

determination, then you must make these parameters or assumptions into enforceable limitations. 

In the absence of enforceable limitations, you calculate baseline emissions based upon 

continuation of past practice."3 This would indicate that an 85% capacity limitation should be 

placed in the permits of the units operating under the proposed BART. It is clear that ODEQ is 

1 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix Y provides the federal regulations required to be met by sources that have been 

determined to be subject to BART. PSO Northeastern Units No. 3 and No. 4 have been determined to be subject to 

BART. Further, 750 MW power plants are required," ... to meet specific control levels for S02 of either 95 percent 

control or 0.15 lbs/MMBtu, for each EGU greater than 200 MW that is currently uncontrolled unless you determine 

that an alternative control level is justified based on a careful consideration of the statutory factors." (40 CFR Part 

51, Appendix Y, Section IV.E.4). Units No.3 and No. 4 are required to meet the presumptive levels of control 

described above, since even if one is shut down, the other will be part of a power plant that generates greater than 

750 MW due to Units No. 1 and No. 2 making the power plant generate greater than 750 MW. Appendix Y, Section 

I.E.3., requires that sources meet BART as expeditiously as possible, but not later than five years after EPA 

approves the Oklahoma Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP). This could presumably be a date in 2018. 

The unit that continues to operate after 2018 will still have a 0.4 lbs/MMBtu emission rate and will not meet the 

presumptive control level for S02• thus not complying with BART. There is some question as to whether an 

Alternative to BART is available in this instance, since 40 CFR 308(e)(2)(ii) states that an," ... alternative measure 

will apply, at a minimum, to all BART-eligible sources in the State."

3 Ibid., See section IV.D.STEP 4.d.2.

fully cognizant that BART emission limits must be reflected in the sources' operating permits. 

The Settlement Agreement also can serve to meet this requirement. All of the permits or other 

enforceable commitments should be posted as an appendix to the BART section of the Regional 

Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP). This should include emission limitations of zero on the 

unit that is will be closed. 

The fourth paragraph of page 11 in the Revised BART Determination justifies selection of a dry 

sorbent injection (DSI) system for S02 control over the Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization/Spray Dry 

Absorber (DFGD/SDA) solution by asserting that the latter solution provides only incremental 

reductions in emissions of S02 that do not result in a "perceptible improvement" in visibility. It 

is incorrect to dismiss a control strategy on the basis that the resulting improvement is not 

perceptible or significant. EPA states in the preamble to its BART Guidelines that: 

"Even though the visibility improvement from an individual source may not be 

perceptible, it should still be considered in setting BART because the contribution to haze 

may be significant relative to other source contributions in the Class I areas. Thus, we 

disagree that the degree of impairment should be contingent upon perceptibility. Failing 

to consider less-than-perceptible contributions to visibility impairment would ignore the 

Clean Air Act's (CAA) intent to have BART requirements apply to sources that 

contribute to, as well as cause, such impairment.4 

The erroneous imperceptibility discussion should be removed since the last sentence of 

the paragraph correctly provides a cost per deciview improvement analysis for each 

control alternative. It should be noted that the cost per deciview of visibility 

improvement that is stated for each control alternative is consistent with other states' 

determinations of reasonable cost per deciview. 

It should be further noted that the $1,544 cost per ton of S02 control for the DFGD/SDA control 

option is considered reasonable, since several other BART determinations in the nation have 

proposed costs greater than $1 ,544 per ton of S02 control. It is acknowledged that costs related 

to non-air quality environmental impacts are a relevant factor to consider as pointed out in the 

ODEQ analysis. The point that both cost per ton and cost per deciview are reasonable for each 

control alterative is brought up only to confirm that the DFGD/SDA alternative should not have 

been dismissed on the basis of excessive cost under BART, but because DSI was chosen on the 

basis of lower cost. Either control alternative seemed to meet the constraints of the five-factor 

BART analysis.

FS Comments regarding ODEQ's Proposed Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision 

of March 20,2013 

The Forest Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed Regional Haze plan 

revision. 

Oklahoma submitted a Regional Haze (RH) plan to the Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) 

on Febmary 19,2010. On March 22,2011, EPA proposed to partially approve and partially 

disapprove certain elements of Oklahoma's State Implementation Plan (SIP) (76 FR 16168) 

regarding six units at the following Electrical Generating Units (EGUs): Units 4 and 5 of the 

Oklahoma Gas and Electric Muskogee plant in Muskogee County; Units 1 and 2 of the 

Oklahoma Gas and Electric Sooner plant in Noble County; and Units 3 and 4 of the American 

Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma Northeastern plant in Rogers County. In 

EPA's subsequent Federal Implementation Plan (PIP), with regard to their March 22,2011 

partial disapproval, to meet Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART), those six units are 

required to reduce their S02 pollution to an emission rate of0.06lb/mmBTU. To accomplish 

this, EPA suggested that these units be retrofitted with Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization/Spray Dry 

Absorber (DFGD/SDA) technology. 

It is our understanding that the Proposed Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision submitted 

by ODEQ on March 20, 2013 addresses only control modifications at Units 3 and 4 of the 

American Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma Northeastern plant in Rogers 

County. Therefore, we are limiting our comments to the efficacy of those proposed controls. 

As proposed by ODEQ, the S02 emission rates for Units 3 & 4 will each be lowered from the 

present 0.9lb/mmBTU, utilizing dry sorbent injection (DSI) to 0.65 lb/mmBTU by January 21, 

2014, and then to 0.60 lb/mmBTU by December 21,2014. And, by April26, 2016, the S02 

emission rate for Unit 3 is proposed for further reduction to 0.4 lb/mmBTU (Table 11-2), while 

Unit 4 will be shut down. While these proposed reductions would be a clear improvement from 

present levels, all are considerably less stringent than EPA's and the Forest Service's preferred 

BART level of0.06lb/mmBTU, utilizing DFGD/SDA. It appears ODEQ rejects the use of 

DFGD/SDA asserting on page II of its revised BART determination that the incremental 

reductions in emissions will not result in "perceptible improvement" in visibility. Based on the 

preamble to EPA's BART Guidelines: 

"Even though the visibility improvement from an individual source may not be 

perceptible, it should still be considered in setting BART because the contribution to haze 

may be significant relative to other source contributions in the Class I areas. "1 

Thus, we disagree that the degree of impairment should be contingent upon perceptibility. 

Failing to consider less-than-perceptible contributions to visibility impairment would ignore the 

Clean Air Act's (CAA) intent to have BART requirements apply to sources that contribute to, as 

well as cause, such impairment. 

Therefore, the perceptibility of improvement should not be a factor in determining BART. It is 

also noted that the cost per deciview of visibility improvement that is stated for each control 

alternative is consistent with other states' determinations of reasonable cost per deciview, and the 

1 See Federal Register, July 6, 2005, 70FR30129, middle column. 
$1 ,544 cost per ton of SOz control is reasonable when compared with options utilized across the 

country. Further, while the cost per ton for DSI is 65% of the more cost effective DFGD/SDA 

option, the utilization of DFGD/SDA is well over six times more efficient at removing S02 (See 

Table 8 in ODEQ's March 20, 2013 Revised BART Determination).

Re: Revised BART Determination and Amended Regional Haze Agreement 

Public Service Company of Oklahoma- Northeastern Units 3 and 4 

Dear Mr. Thompson: 

Public Service Company of Oklahoma ("PSO") appreciates the opportunity to submit 

comments on the proposed adoption of a Revised BART Determination and First Amended 

Regional Haze Agreement. These actions will revise Oklahoma's Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan ("RH-SIP") by incorporating the provisions of the recent settlement 

between PSO, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality ("ODEQ") and others, and is intended to replace the Federal 

Implementation Plan ("FIP") adopted by EPA for these units on January 27, 2012 (76 Fed. Reg. 

81,727). PSO appreciates ODEQ's diligence in completing the RH-SIP revisions within the time 

frame outlined in the settlement agreement, and the careful analysis performed by the 

Department to confirm that the revised RH-SIP satisfies the requirements contained in the Clean 

Air Act and 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart P, Protection of Visibility. 

PSO specifically would like to respond to a recent request by Attorney General Pruitt's 

office to delay the hearing scheduled for Monday, May 20, 2013 . That request urges ODEQ to 

re-evaluate the revised RH-SIP based on changes in PSO's load profile and the cost of 

replacement power necessary to offset the retirement of one Northeastern coal-fired unit in 2016. 

However, the BART analysis ODEQ is required to undertake is a narrowly focused analysis that 

look~ only at the relative cost of environmental controls on the BART-eligible units and 

ODEQ's selection of the alternative that represents the "best available retrofit technology" for 

those units, as defined in the Clean Air Act. While ODEQ has the discretion to consider costs 

associated with the energy demands of the control equipment, and other non-air environmental

impacts associated with the operation of particular control devices in its analysis of the most 

cost-effective option to address the visibility concerns that are the focus of the regional haze 

program, ODEQ does not have the authority or the expertise to evaluate replacement resources 

or the adequacy ofPSO's full complement of resources to meet customer demand. 

PSO regularly evaluates and reports to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission on its 

resource plans, and, as noted in the letter, has announced its intention to submit a revised 

resource plan to the Commission in the near future. That revised resource plan will not provide 

any other relevant information to ODEQ that is necessary in order to complete its evaluation of 

the revised RH-SIP. Nothing in that plan will alter the relative costs of the various emission 

control options studied in the BART analysis submitted by PSO, or ODEQ's evaluation of the 

costs, energy impacts, and visibility improvements associated with the various alternatives 

studied. Accordingly, there is no reason to delay the public hearing or to defer any decision on 

the adequacy ofthe revised RH-SIP developed by ODEQ. 

The letter also claims that it is "arguable" that the revised RH-SIP is more stringent than 

the previously issued EPA FIP. However, there is no evidence that the revised SIP would 

impose more stringent emission reduction requirements than the current FIP. The primary focus 

of the revised RH-SIP for Northeastern Unit 3 and Northeastern Unit 4 is the choice of BART 

controls for S02 emissions. Under the FIP, each Northeastern Unit would be required to meet a 

0.06 #/mmBtu emission rate. EPA's basis for meeting this limit is the installation of highefficiency dry scrubbers on both units by January 2017. Under the SIP, one Northeastern Unit 

will retire and the other will be equipped with a dry sorbent injection system that is capable of 

achieving a 0.4 #/mmBtu emission rate. This rate is clearly a compromise between the 0.65 

#/mmBtu rate that was included in the prior RH-SIP and the rate approved in the FIP. As 

demonstrated in the Revised BART Determination (at page 11) the revised RH-SIP reduces S02 

emissions by approximately 24,888 tons per year while the FIP would reduce emissions by 

approximately 29,119 tons per year. However, the cost per ton of S02 reductions under the RHSIP is $1,005 per ton, while the cost per ton of S02 reductions under the FIP is $1,544 per ton. 

The incremental cost to achieve the additional 4,231 tons of reductions under the FIP is $4,718 

per ton, and would not result in any perceptible improvement in visibility. As demonstrated in 

the Revised BART Determination, the revised RH-SIP is an effective, but more moderate and 

cost-effective approach to visibility improvement than the currently approved FIP.

Re: PSO/EPA Settlement Agreement- Revised State Implementation Plan 

Dear Mr. Thompson: 

As you are aware, the PSO/EPA settlement plan, upon which the revised State 

Implementation Plan ("SIP") is based, required that Public Service Corporation of Oklahoma 

("PSO") decommission one of its coal-fired generation facilities by 2016. The 2012 PSO Integrated 

Resource Plan ("IRP") provided for the replacement of only 260 MWs of the 500 MW coal-fired 

generation plant that is scheduled for closure. As such, the cost estimates for the SIP settlement plan 

are premised upon replacement of roughly only one-half of that plant's capacity and energy. 

Recently, PSO announced its intention to submit a revised IRP at the Oklahoma Corporation 

Commission to amend its 2012 IRP. The stated purpose of this amended IRP is to include 

approximately 250 MWs of electric load that will be served by PSO in the 2016 time frame. 

Because PSO has added additional load which now requires a revision to the 2012 IRP, the 

cost information concerning the PSO/EPA settlement plan and, hence, the revised SIP, may be 

inaccurate to a degree that cannot be determined at this time. As such, cost assessments that have 

been conducted in the PSO proceeding at the Corporation Commission and by the Oklahoma 

Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") in association with the SIP are based on incomplete 

and inaccurate data (see revised paragraph 12 in First Amended Regional Haze Agreement). More 

accurate cost information will be developed after PSO submits its amended IRP in June of this year 

and includes the entire 500 MWs of needed capacity/energy as opposed to only 260MWs. 

In addition, Title 27A O. S. § 1 -1 -206 "Economic Impact- Environmental Benefit Statement" 

requires a state environmental agency to duly determine the economic impact and environmental 

benefit of a permanent rule that is more stringent than corresponding federal requirements, unless 

such stringency is specifically authorized by state statute. It is certainly arguable that the proposed 

revised SIP for P S O is more stringent than the previously issued EPA FIP. Without accurate updated

cost information from PSO's revised IRP, it seems unlikely that any economic impact -

environmental benefit statement compiled by DEQ would be accurate. 

Based on the above, I respectfully request that DEQ delay the public meeting scheduled for 

May 20, 2013, and delay a final decision regarding the SIP, until PSO's amended IRP can be fully 

vetted in proceedings at the Corporation Commission. The 2013 IRP process will yield additional 

information that will provide the opportunity to ascertain the true cost of the SIP that is required in 

proceedings at both the Corporation Commission and the DEQ.

COMMENTS TO ODEQ RE PSO COMPLIANCE PLAN TO 

IMPROVE OKLAHOMA'S AIR QUALITY 

My name is Bob Rounsavell. I'm here today as a resident of 

Oologah, as a Sierra Club member and as president of the Carrie 

Dickerson Foundation. 

I think this agreement reached between PSO and EPA, Oklahoma and 

Sierra Club is a great start in improving our air quality. Although I wish 

that the 2nd coal fired unit could be phased out much sooner than 2026, I 

realize the most important significance is the collaboration by these 

stakeholders in reaching this agreement. 

The agreement will bring about environmental benefits resulting in 

significant health benefits. By 2026 sulfur dioxide emissions from the 

northeastern plant will be eliminated. Elimination of mercury and other 

toxins with phasing out of the two coal units will help improve health 

conditions, especially for Oologah residents. Mercury may very well 

have been the cause of my wife's colon cancer after residing for a 

. decade only a mile from the two coal units and half a mile from the train 

tracks with the many coal trains every week. Fortunately, her 

indomitable spirit prevailed. 

And then we have carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming 

and severe climate disruption. Reducing C02, which this agreement 

will accomplish, will greatly improve chances for human survival. 

Unfortunately, many are still in denial about this well-researched 

phenomenon. 

Economically the PSO rate plan is most beneficial as it offers the 

lowest impact on commercial, industrial and residential customers. 

I understand that some large industrial users want scrubbers installed 

so the coal units can continue operating until 2041, thus extending the 

dirty emissions while reaping high profits. 

The plan paves the way for solving public health concerns about 

pollution from burning coal. I live near the northeastern plant and it's 

high time my health was protected. ODEQ should approve the PSO 

plan. It's cleaner, it will support Oklahoma jobs, and it will keep 

ratepayer money close to home. 
If you live in Oologah, own a white motor vehicle and leave the 

windows in your house open, then you have problems. I can go outside 

many days and write my name on my white car. Leaving the windows 

open for fresh air invites a whole bunch of coal dust inside the house. 

This soot corning into the house is not the same as normal dust; it's 

highly toxic. This plan is a necessary start to improving air quality for 

the future. 

Carrie Dickerson saw the need for cleaner, renewable energy sources 

which we have in abundance in Oklahoma. She spent much of her life 

promoting clean, renewable energy, especially wind power. 

So as president of the Carrie Dickerson Foundation and on its behalf, 

I thank PSO, Oklahoma, EPA and Sierra Club for having the courage 

and foresight to change the status quo. We'll all live longer beqmse of 

this proposed plan. 

Thank you.

Re: Comments on Proposed Regional Haze SIP Amendment 

To Whom it May Concern: 

Jamie Maddy 

Director- RegulatOJy 

Chesapeake Energy Corporation ("Chesapeake") submits the following comments in support of 

the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality's ("DEQ") proposed revision to 

Oklahoma's Regional Haze State Implementation Plan ("SIP"). See DEQ Case No. I 0-025. 

Under the Oklahoma Clean Air Act (27 A OS §§2-5-1 01 thru 117), DEQ is given primary 

authority and responsibly for preparing and implementing the air quality management plan for 

the State of Oklahoma, compiled in 40 CFR Part 52, Subpart LL. DEQ originally prepared and 

submitted its Regional Haze SIP in February 2010 in compliance with the federal Clean Air Act 

and 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart P, Protection ofVisibility. On January 27, 2012, the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") partially approved and partially disapproved the 

Regional Haze SIP. See 76 Fed. Reg. 81,727. 

In fact, EPA accepted the majority of Oklahoma's state plan. However, the limited pmtion of the 

Oklahoma SIP that was disapproved was rejected principally because ofthe emission limits set 

for sulfur dioxide ("S02'') for six coal-fired electric generating units, including four Oklahoma 

Gas and Electric ("OG&E") units, and relevantly, two units at the Public Service Company of 

Oklahoma ("PSO") Northeastern Power Station (Units 3 and 4) in Rogers County, Oklahoma. 

EPA noted that the "state's cost estimates for S02 scrubbers were high in comparison to other 

units, and [EPA] therefore separately assessed the costs ... " 76 Fed. Reg. 81,727. As a result, 

EPA concluded that "Oklahoma's costing methodology was not in accordance with RH 

requirements." I d.

Consequentially, EPA "proposed a Federal Implementation Plan ("FIP") to address these defects 

in BART ... "which became effective January 27, 2012. I d. Relevantly, "[t]he FIP established 

Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization with a Spray Dry Absorber" fur PSO' s Northeastern affected units. 

See Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division, Revised BART 

Determination, March 19, 2013. However, at the encouragement and request of the Oklahoma 

Secretary of Environment and the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy, along with the Attorney 

General of Oklahoma, PSO participated in comprehensive discussions with state officials to 

develop an Oklahoma centric plan to all of the federal requirements affecting electric generating 

units with DEQ as the coordinator. See Attachment 1. 

As a result, on March 26, 2013, DEQ entered the "First Amended Regional Haze Agreement" to 

satisfy the Best Available Retrofit Technology ("BART") requirements associated with the S02 

and nitrogen oxides (''NOx") requirements at PSO's Northeastern Power Station Units 3 and 4. 

The proposed SIP revision addresses the disapproved portion of the Regional Haze SIP as it 

relates to the BART determination for these units. The proposed revision implements relevant 

portions of a settlement agreement reached among PSO, EPA, the Oklahoma Secretmy of 

Environment, U.S. Department of Justice, and the Sierra Club. 

1. The First Amended Regional Haze Agreement is BART Compliant Significantly and 

Affordab ly Addresses Regional Haze With Substantial Environmental Benefits 

Specifically, under the First Amended Regional Haze Agreement, PSO has committed to install 

low NOx combustion technologies and achieve a lower NOx emissions rate for both Units 3 and 

4. In addition, PSO will comply with a new, lower S02 emission rate for both Units 3 and 4 in 

2014- and an even lower rate in 2015. Finally, PSO will retire one of the coal-fired generating 

units at the Northeastern Power Station by Aprill6, 2016, "and therefore the removal ofNOx, 

S02, PM, and C02, emissions from the unit" will also be achieved. Id. These will represent 

significant emissions reductions that will benefit Oklahoma. 

In DEQ's BART Determination, it was concluded that "[t]hese reductions will help to address 

local formation and interstate transport of owne and reduce the contribution to greenhouse 

gasses and mercury deposition from electricity generation in Oklahoma." Id. This result 

strategically addresses regional haze requirements. 

Additionally, this plan places actual emissions reductions in place sooner than the FIP would 

have. In fact, "[t]he FIP scenario provides no further improvement in ozone and would likely 

assure continued use of coal-fired electricity generation for an additional20 years beyond the 

settlement agreement scenario." I d. Further, the settlement agreement, "while achieving 

perceptively equivalent visibility improvements at the Class I areas, will not require water usage 

and in shutting down Northeastern Unit 4 rather than installing additional controls, energy 

consumption is half that of the control solution established by the FIP." This plan provides a

405-935-3607 • fax 405-849-3607 • Jamie.maddy@chk.com 
litany of environmental benefits for Oklahoma. Decisions regarding emissions controls are as 

much art as science. Since the modem day version of the federal Clean Air Act was adopted in 

the early 1970s, decisions have been made without the benefit of absolute certainty. The First 

Amended Regional Haze Agreement between DEQ and PSO outlines emissions controls and 

installation schedules designed to meet the BART requirements in a manner that is agreeable to 

both parties and protective of the environment. 

Moreover, this approach provides consistency and predictability to the process. The technology 

at issue, and the overall compliance plan, has been adequately vetted by engineers and will meet 

the objectives necessary to comply with BART and related Regional Haze requirements. 

Accepting this proposal for submission to EPA allows PSO to plan for compliance and address 

its needs as well as the needs of the ratepayers. 

2. The First Amended Regional Haze Agreement Provides an Oklahoma-Centered solution 

by leaning on Oklahoma resources to reduce power plant emissions and provide reliable 

electricity. In the original Regional Haze Agreement, it was acknowledged that in the event EPA 

rejected the SIP as it ultimately did in part, a BART alternative would result in switching one 

"coal-fired unit to natural gas." 

Additionally, EPA has long acknow !edged that greater utilization of cleaner burning natural gas 

is a means for both PSO and OG&E to meet their BART obligations under federal law. From the 

beginning, this native Oklahoma resource has been a viable, economic solution. This First 

Amended Regional Haze Agreement will, in part, result in greater utilization of natural gas and, 

consequently, will have a significant positive impact on Oklahoma's economy. 

Given the supply and availability of natural gas in Oklahoma, the use of natural gas-fired power 

generation will not result in significant rate increases as compared to installing expensive 

emission control retrofits on aging coal-fired power plants to address regional haze. Oklahoma 

consistently ranks 3rd in the nation after Texas and Wyoming in the production of natural gas, 

with production projected to continue to increase significantly over the next decade and beyond. 

It is right for Oklahoma utilities to lean upon the many benefits of Oklahoma natural gas. 

In fact, in the public testimony before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission related to PSO, 

Steven L. Fate, the Director of Business Operations Support for PSO, acknowledged that greater 

natural gas consumption, resulting from the First Amended Regional Haze Agreement, is 

consistent with Oklahoma's energy policies. Mr. Fate estimates that: 

[t]he average incremental natural gas production is estimated to be 39 thousand MMBTU from 

2027-2040. Assuming an average annual Hemy Hub price of natural gas of$4.37 per MCF, the 

natural gas volume is valued at approximately $166 million annually. The value of natural gas 

times the economic multiplier provides a total output of$239 million annually in economic 

activity for the state.

Oklahoma's Energy Plan calls for a strategy that increases reliance on Oklahoma resources for 

power generation which, according to the plan, helps preserve Oklahoma's relative low cost of 

energy and electricity while simultaneously strengthening the economy our air quality. PSO, 

DEQ, and other Oklahoma's leaders should be commended for developing an Oklahoma strategy 

of our own, one that benefits our state by meeting federal environmental regulation while 

utilizing our own natural resources which benefits all Oklahomans and our economy in the 

immediate and long term. 

Chesapeake supports the adoption of the First Amended Regional Haze Agreement.

Dear Cheryl and Scott, I am all for quality clean air in Oklahoma but how it is achieved is a balance 

between man and nature. I don't understand how alleged pollution from PSO in north eastern 

Oklahoma affects the wildlife in southwest Oklahoma. Wouldn't OG&E's alleged pollution affect the 

wildlife refuge as it is closer? The closing down of power plants will not be good for Oklahoma. I have to 

question the method that was used to determine the alleged pollution. I ask that you review this 

method and not move forward with closing power plants and driving the cost of electricity up for all 

consumers. Maybe help us to legalize industrial hemp for bio-diesel that is not a polluter. Attorney 

General Scott Pruitt has pointed out the problems with incomplete and inaccurate information. A rush 

to end coal power plants without a proven backup source is dangerous and irresponsible. I am open to 

all sorts of power but wind and solar cannot fill the needs of all Oklahomans. Even natural gas by itself 

won't fill the bill. Thank you.

Devon Energy Corporation supports the settlement between Public Service Company of 

Oklahoma (PSO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) addressing the 

Revision to the Regional Haze State Implementation Plan. Devon requests that the 

Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality approve the settlement. 

This settlement allows Oklahoma to retain state control and primacy over air 

regulation. It is also based on the benefits of natural gas, a clean fuel produced 

locally. 

In September 2012, I sent the attached letter on behalf of Devon Energy thanking 

Governor Fallin for her continued support of the PSO/EPA settlement. In that letter I 

wrote that the settlement PSO reached allows continued state control of its 

implementation plan and expanded use of native natural gas while providing PSO the 

flexibility to continue to operate some of the coal-fired units EPA questioned in its 

regional haze inquiry. Further, I highlighted the environmental benefits of natural gas 

which the International Energy Agency has cited as the reason carbon emissions have 

continued to fall. 

Devon's position remains unchanged since the time that letter was written, and we 

hope that DEQ will approve the settlement. 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment in this important matter.

Your longstanding support of the oil and natural gas industry is very much appreciated. Devon asks for 

your continued support for expanded use of natural gas, Oklahoma's domestic fuel, arising from the 

Public Service Company of Oklahoma's (PSO) settlement agreement with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

As you know, in 2011 EPA determined that the most appropriate way to combat regional haze was 

through an unprecedented Federallmplementation Plan (FIP) which would require specific fuel and 

emission control options. In order to control its decision-making process, PSO entered into settlement 

discussions with the EPA and a settlement is currently being finalized. The settlement allows PSO to 

retire coal units and replace that power through a Power Purchase Agreement that will rely on clean· 

burning natural gas. According to PSO, this approach is the lowest-cost alternative and would avoid 

installing expensive scrubbers on an aging coal generation unit. 

The settlement PSO reached allows continued state control of its implementation plan and expanded 

use of native natural gas while providing PSO the flexibility to continue to operate some of the coal· 

fired units EPA questioned in its regional haze inquiry. Under the settlement, PSO would: 

• place emission controls on one coal unit and run it through 2026; 

• decommission one coal unit in 2016; and, 

• be required to seek purchase power agreements from natural gas and renewable generators. 

Devon and other producers in Oklahoma successfully produce significant volumes of natural gas 

statewide, thanks in large part to the shale gas revolution. A prime example of the industry's success is 

just 40 miles west of the Capitol in Oklahoma's Cana field. Because of this new development, the US 

Energy Information Administration's latest data shows that not only does Oklahoma meet its needs, but 

the state also exports more than 63 percent of its production. The bottom line is that Oklahoma 

producers can meet the state's future increased generation demand. 

Certainly the benefits of lower emissions from a cleaner fuel cannot be ignored, either. For example, 

the International Energy Agency has stated that carbon emissions in the United States fell in 2011, 

" ... primarily due to ongoing switching from coal to natural gas in power generation." Further, EIA 

month·to·month data reveals that carbon emissions from January to May of this year declined six 

percent when compared to 2011. Several analysts have credited natural gas as the driving force behind 

this reduction. 
In summary, the settlement PSO entered into with EPA- based on PSO's own business requirements as 

well as considerations such as those I have outlined - provides an opportunity to take next steps in 

Oklahoma's clean energy future evolution. Devon supports this approach and thanks you for your 

continued support of the PSO/EPA settlement.

and administrative responsibilities. In 1989 I transferred into the corporate 

Environmental department as a senior engineer where I had responsibilities for 

environmental compliance activities in air, water, and solid waste at all PSO facilities. I 

became Manager of Environmental and Occupational Health Department in 1992 which 

also included supervising the corporate laboratory. In that position I was responsible for 

policy, procedures, training, reporting, compliance planning, regulatory and legislative 

interface for all environmental and occupational health issues at PSO. 

I transferred to the CSW corporate environmental office in Dallas as Manager, 

Air Quality Services in 1998 with the responsibility of policy, procedures, reporting, 

regulatory compliance strategies, regulatory and legislative liaison and internal consulting 

services on air quality issues for over I 00 CSW generating plants. I was the alternative 

designated representative (ADR) for CSW power plants where I was responsible for the 

accounting of all emissions and disposition of emission allowances. I maintained that 

position and responsibilities until the merger of CSW and AEP in June 2000. I continued 

to manage the Air Quality Services department after the merger but transferred the ADR 

responsibility to the Columbus corporate office. I continued in that role until March 2004 

when I transferred to PSO as the Manager, State Environmental Affairs where I was 

responsible for environmental legislation and regulatory issues as well as sustainability 

and wildlife issues. I took on the Governmental Affairs responsibilities along with my 

Environmental Affairs responsibilities in October 2007 and continue in that role today.

II. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY 

Q. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR TESTIMONY? 

A. I describe current environmental rules that require the installation of emissions control 

equipment at PSO's power generating facilities. I will also review potential future 

environmental requirements that also could impact PSO's generation fleet. Finally, I will 

describe the principal terms for an agreement with the State of Oklahoma and EPA to 

resolve pending litigation over the regional haze program requirements for PSO's 

generating units and the obligations related to that agreement. 

Q. WOULD YOU PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR TESTIMONY? 

A. There are two main current EPA rules requiring PSO to install control equipment to meet 

emission limits in specific time frames: (I) the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) and (2) the 

Mercury and Air Taxies Standard (MATS) rule. These rules were finalized on December 

28, 2011, and February 16, 2012, respectively. These rules will require PSO to make 

substantial reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen oxide (NOx), 

mercury, acid gases, and particulate matter. 

PSO also faces the prospect of additional costly requirements in the future for its 

generation fleet, particularly its coal fleet. Over the next five to ten years, PSO will also 

likely have to address requirements under: (I) the successor to the Cross State Air 

Pollution Rule (CSAPR), (2) the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule, (3) the Clean 

Water Act (316(b)) Rule, (4) possible carbon dioxide limitations and other greenhouse 

gas (GHG) regulations, (5) implementation obligations under the One-hour S02 and NOx

Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), (6) future revisions of the 

ozone and particulate matter NAAQS, and (7) a second planning period under the RHR. 

In particular, the current and future regulations will have a profound impact at the 

coal-fired Northeastern Units 3 and 4. These units represent approximately one-fourth of 

PSO' s total capacity requirement and an even greater percentage of its base load energy 

resources. The environmental requirements threaten PSO's ability to continue to operate 

these plants and meet its customers' electricity needs and assure reliability. Given these 

current and future environmental obligations, PSO has looked for oppmtunities to 

provide some near-term cettainty around its air emission obligations for the coal-fired 

Northeastern Units 3 and 4 under the RHR and MATS rules. To meet this desire, PSO 

executed a term sheet for a Settlement Agreement (Agreement or Regional Haze 

Agreement (RHA)) with the EPA, the State of Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Department 

of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to resolve PSO's emission control requirements for 

Nmtheastern Units 3 and 4 and to ensure sufficient resources to meet our customer's 

demands. That term sheet (See Exhibit HLG- I) stipulates for PSO a reasonable, 

orderly, and definitive time line to comply with its coal plant emissions limit 

requirements. The term sheet recognizes PSO's desire for the RHA to be a 

comprehensive compliance strategy (See Exhibit HLG- 2). The term sheet also provides 

PSO with greater flexibility in responding to the future requirements of other 

environmental rules. 

More specifically, the term sheet prescribes emission limits for 

compliance and requires that PSO install and operate a Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) 

system, an Activated Carbon (ACI) system, and a fabric filter (FF) baghouse, and secure

further NOx emission reductions on one of the Northeastern units by April 16, 2016. 

Further, this controlled coal-fired unit at Northeastern will be required to retire no later 

than December 31, 2026, or by December 31, 2025, if power is available from other 

resources at a lower projected total cost (including consideration ofPSO's need to recover 

its remaining investment in the units). The unit not selected for the environmental 

controls will be retired on or before April 16, 20 16. 

III. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 

Q. WHAT ARE THE FINAL EPA RULES APPLICABLE TO PSO'S GENERATING 

FLEET? 

A. The two major final EPA rulemakings that will necessitate the installation of air 

emissions control equipment are: 

(I) the Regional Haze Rule (RHR); and 

(2) the Mercury and Air Taxies Standards Rule (MATS). 

A. REGIONAL HAZE RULE 

Q. WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE REGIONAL HAZE 

RULE? 

A. The Clean Air Act of I990 (Title I, Sections 169A and I69B) declared it a national goal 

to prevent any future, and to remedy any existing, impairment of visibility in 156 

mandatory federal Class I areas, the impairment of which results from man made 

pollution. Class I areas are defined as national parks and wildemess areas that Congress 

has recognized as significant sites. In I 999, the EPA issued the RHR for the protection 

of visibility in Class I National Parks and Wilderness Areas.

Under the RHR, states are required to set periodic goals for improving visibility in 

the 156 Federal Class I areas. The RHR applies to 26 industrial sectors that are major 

sources of S02, NOx, and traditional, primary particulate matter (PM) emissions, and that 

were in existence or under construction between 1962 and 1977. Electric generating 

units (EGUs) are included in the category of major sources governed by the RHR that are 

required to install Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) to reduce their visibility 

impacts. 

The RHR requires the states to develop regional haze state implementation plans 

(Regional Haze SIP) that contain enforceable measures and strategies for reducing 

emission of pollutants associated with visibility impairment. Each SIP must require 

certain eligible facilities (subject-to-BART sources) to achieve specified emission 

limitations, known as BART, including NO" S02 and PM, emission limits necessary to 

improve visibility. BART is applicable to EGUs greater than 250 megawatt (MW) that 

have been determined to have significantly impaired visibility in one or more federal 

Class I areas. 

On July 6, 2005, the EPA published the final "Regional Haze Regulations and 

Guidelines for Best Available Retrofit Technology Determinations." The Federal Clean 

Air Act and the Regional Haze Rule require certain states, including Oklahoma, to make 

reasonable progress toward the "prevention of any future, and the remedying of any 

existing, impairment of visibility" in mandatory Class I Federal areas. Moreover, the 

Regional Haze Rule requires the State of Oklahoma to develop programs to "address 

regional haze in each mandatory Class I Federal area located within the State and in each 

mandatory Class I Federal area located outside the State which may be affected by

emissions from within the State." Air pollutants emitted by BART eligible sources in 

Oklahoma, which may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to visibility 

impairment, in any mandatory Class I Federal area are NOx, SOz, PM-10, and PM-2.5. 

EPA also provided guidance on what level of control is reasonable for certain BARTeligible sources, including EGUs, and published "presumptive BART" emission rates for 

S02 and NOx based on the types of cost-effective controls available. 

Oklahoma, on February 18, 20 I 0, through the Secretary of Environment, 

submitted to EPA its regional haze revisions to the Oklahoma State Implementation Plan 

("SIP"). After conducting dispersion modeling and properly balancing the five statutory 

factors 1 relevant to a BART determination, it was determined that six PSO electric 

generating units may cause or contribute to visibility impairment at a Class I Federal 

Area and, therefore, are subject to the BART requirement of the Federal Regional Haze 

Rule. This requirement mandates that these six generating units control the emissions of 

visibility impairing pollutants. 

Q. HOW DID OKLAHOMA DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF NOx 

AND S02 CONTROL FOR THE PSO BART ELIGIBLE SOURCES? 

A. In general, BART is determined for each eligible emissions unit using the following five 

steps from the BART Guidelines: 

(I) identify all available retrofit control technologies; 

(2) eliminate technically infeasible options; 

(3) evaluate control effectiveness of remaining control technologies; 

1 The five BART factors are: (1) the costs of compliance; (2) the energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of 

compliance; (3) any existing air pollution control technology in use at the source; (4) the remaining useful life of the 

source; and (5) the degree of improvement in visibility which may reasonably be anticipated to result from the use of 

the technology.

(4) evaluate impacts and document the results; and 

(5) evaluate visibility impacts. 

The BART Guidelines require the consideration of all "control technologies with 

a practical potential for application to the emissions unit and the regulated pollutant under 

evaluation." PSO evaluated various retrofit control technologies against the five factor 

analysis. AEP developed compliance costs associated with implementing the evaluated 

control systems and estimated both annual operating costs and annualized capital costs 

associated with retrofit construction. The best control technology that was also cost 

effective was chosen as BART for Northeastem Units 3 and 4. 

Q. WHAT ARE THE PRESUMPTIVE BART LIMITS FOR PSO'S GENERATING 

UNITS? 

A. The presumptive limits applicable to PSO's coal units are: 

I. 0.15 pounds NOx per million Btu of heat input (0.23lb/MMBtu) on a 30-day 

rolling average; and 

2. 0.15 pounds S02 per million Btu of heat input (0.15lb/MMBtu) on a 30-day 

rolling average. 

There are no presumptive limits for the gas units. 

Q. DID PSO'S ANALYSIS CONFIRM THAT LOW NOX BURNER 

TECHNOLOGIES ARE COST-EFFECTIVE AND REASONABLE FOR PSO'S 

UNITS? 

A. Yes. In the BART determination guidelines for NOx, the EPA calculated that for all 

types of boilers, other than cyclone boilers, combustion control technology (represented

by low NOx burner technologies (LNB) and separated over-fire air (SOFA) in some cases 

is generally more cost-effective than post-combustion controls (represented by selective 

non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR)). PSO's analysis 

confirmed that this is accurate for PSO's generating units. 

Q. WHAT WILL PSO'S GENERATING UNITS NEED TO INSTALL TO MEET 

THE NOx LIMITS OF THE RHR? 

A. PSO will install a combination of low NOx burners and SOFA combustion modifications 

on Northeastern Units 2, Southwestern Unit 3, and Comanche Units I G I and I G2. 

Northeastern Units 3 and 4 had SOFA installed this year. 

Q. DID PSO'S ANALYSIS CONFIRM THAT THE PRESUMPTIVE BART LIMITS 

FOR S02 ARE COST-EFFECTIVE AND REASONABLE FOR PSO'S COAL 

UNITS? 

No, it did not. In the BART determination analysis for S02, PSO submitted a five-factor 

analysis which demonstrated that installation of a dry flue gas desulfurization system 

(DFGD) to achieve a presumptive BART limit of0.15lb S02/MMBtu at Northeastern 

Units 3 and 4 is not cost-effective, based on the range of values set forth in the RHR. 

PSO fmiher evaluated the basis of the annual average S02 rate that was used in the fivefactor analysis and determined that the appropriate historical S02 emission rate is 

approximately 0.55 lb S02/MMBtu. This determination was based on an EPA July 5, 

2005, guidance document which stated: "The baseline emissions rate should represent a 

realistic depiction of anticipated annual emissions for the source. In general, for existing 

sources subject to BART, you will estimate the anticipated annual emissions based upon 

actual emissions from a baseline period." The cost-effectiveness calculation for the

installation of a DFGD, based upon the 0.55 lb S02/MMBtu historic emission rate, is 

$6,077 per ton, far in excess of the range of cost-effectiveness for S02 controls that EPA 

determined was reasonable in its RHR guidance. 

Q. WHAT DID ODEQ DO IN RESPONSE TO PSO'S DETERMINATION THAT 

INSTALLATION OF A DFGD WAS NOT COST-EFFECTIVE TO ACHIEVE 

THE PRESUMPTIVE S02 LIMIT? 

Based on the fact that installation of a DFGD was not cost effective, the ODEQ 

determined that continued use of low sulfur coal would satisfY the requirements of the 

RHR. The SIP also established an alternative that would have allowed PSO the 

flexibility to install scrubbers to remove S02 on all coal-fired units or achieve equivalent 

emissions (including the option of switching from coal to natural gas) by 2018 in the 

event that the EPA disapproved of the low-sulfur coal BART determination. The SIP 

further provided that these sources could elect to install S02 scrubbers on half of the coalfired sources and switch the other half to natural gas (or achieve equivalent reductions) 

by 2026. 

Q. WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE OKLAHOMA SIP? 

A. The EPA published its proposed partial approval and disapproval of the Oklahoma 

Regional Haze SIP and Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for Interstate Transport of 

Pollution Affecting Visibility and BART Determinations in the Federal Register on 

March 22, 20 ll. 

PSO supported EPA's partial approval of the NOx and PM portions of the 

Oklahoma SIP as submitted. However, PSO disagreed with EPA's proposed partial 

disapproval of the p01tions of the Oklahoma SIP that addressed S02, and the FlP

determinations made by EPA for PSO's Northeastern Units 3 and 4. The partial approval 

and partial disapproval of the Oklahoma SIP and the issuance of the FIP was finalized by 

the EPA on December 28,2011, and became effective on January 27,2012. The FIP 

gives PSO five years to be in compliance with the requirements. 

Q. WHAT ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO CHALLENGE EPA'S 

DISAPPROVAL OF THE OKLAHOMA SIP AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE FIP? 

On March 23, 20 II, the Oklahoma Attorney General filed a Notice of Intent to sue the 

EPA over the proposed Regional Haze FIP. The suit was filed on June I, 2011, in federal 

district court. On August 2, 20 II, PSO filed a motion to intervene in the Attorney 

General's lawsuit. This suit was dismissed as moot after EPA issued its final rule 

disapproving the Oklahoma SIP. 

On Februaty 24, 2012, PSO filed a Petition For Review of the final Regional 

Haze FIP in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. The State of Oklahoma, EPA, and PSO 

engaged in settlement discussions after the petition was filed, and have reached 

agreement on the principal terms of a settlement. The briefing schedule has been 

extended at the request of the parties while a final agreement is negotiated. 

Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company (OG&E) filed a separate suit challenging the 

EPA's S02 BART determinations for OG&E's coal units. On June 22,2012, the Tenth 

Circuit issued a stay of the S02 requirements for OG&E's units until the court reaches a 

final decision on the merits of OG&E' s appeal. Although the stay may briefly extend the 

time for OG&E to make further S02 emission reductions, even if OG&E is ultimately 

successful on the merits of its suit, OG&E's units will likely have some additional S02 

emission reduction obligations under the Regional Haze Rule in 2017-2018. Regardless

HOWARD L. GROUND 
of the outcome ofOG&E's suit, the certainty provided by the Agreement with the State 

2 and EPA will provide benefits for PSO's customers, the Company, and the environment. 

3 Q. WHAT ARE THE S02 EMISSION LIMITATIONS FOR NORTHEASTERN 

4 UNITS 3 AND 4 IN THE REGIONAL HAZE FIP? 

5 A. The Regional Haze FIP imposes an emission rate of 0.06 lb S02/MMBtu on emissions 

6 from Northeastern 3 and 4 within five years, which is considerably lower than the 

7 presumptive limits of0.15 lb S02/MMBtu in the RHR. Northeastern Units 3 and 4 

8 would have to be retrofitted with a DFGD to meet the prescribed S02 limits. 

9 B. MATSRULE 

10 Q. WOULD YOU PLEASE GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE MATS RULE? 

II A. The MATS Rule replaces the former Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) which the D.C. 

12 Circuit Court of Appeals vacated in 2008. Administrator Jackson signed the final MATS 

13 Rule on December 16, 20 II, and was published in the Federal Register on February 16, 

14 2012. This rule regulates emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from coal and 

15 oil-fired electric generating units. HAPs regulated by this rule are: (1) mercury; (2) 

16 several non-mercury metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and selenium, which are 

17 regulated as particulate matter; (3) various acid gases, including hydrochloric acid; and 

18 (4) many organic HAPs. 

19 The MATS Rule includes specific and stringent emission rate limits for mercury, 

20 particulate matter (as a surrogate for the non-mercury particulate HAPs), and 

21 hydrochloric acid or S02 (as a surrogate for acid gases), or requires emission testing to 

22 demonstrate that individual HAP emission rates are met. The rule also creates work 

23 practice standards for organic HAPs.

**Hydrogen fluoride (HF), Chlorine (CI,), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), HC1 

5 Q. WHAT COMPLIANCE TIMELINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE MATS RULE? 

6 A. The Clean Air Act (CAA) includes a three-year compliance period, which results in a 

7 compliance deadline of April 16, 2015, for MATS. There is a provision for a one-year 

8 extension upon approval of the permitting authority, which would allow until April 16, 

9 2016, for certain units, at the discretion of the ODEQ. 

10 Q. WHAT ASSURANCE DOES PSO HAVE THAT A ONE YEAR EXTENSION 

11 WILL BE AVAILABLE? 

12 A. PSO has discussed the extension with the ODEQ and on August 2, 2012, sent a letter 

13 requesting the extension. PSO received a letter from the ODEQ dated September I 0, 

14 2012, granting the one year extension. The letter is provided in Exhibit HLG- 3.

Q. WHAT ARE THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL BE EMPLOYED TO 

ACHIEVE THE MATS RULE EMISSIONS LIMITS AT NORTHEASTERN 

UNITS 3 AND 4? 

A. There are a number of alternative technologies capable of satisfying the MATS limits. 

PSO has chosen technologies that enable it to comprehensively comply with the 

requirements of the RHR and MATS, while preserving its flexibility to address future 

environmental requirements cost-effectively. Northeastern Unit 3 will be equipped with 

DSI, a FF bag house, and ACI to comply with the emission limits required by the MATS 

Rule. 

C. CURRENT RULES SUMMARY 

Q. ABSENT THE TERM SHEET FOR THE RHA, WHAT EMISSION CONTROL 

TECHNOLOGY WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED AT NORTHEASTERN 

BASED ON THE CURRENT REGULATORY PARADIGM SUMMARIZED 

ABOVE IN YOUR TESTIMONY? 

A. Northeastern Units 3 and 4 would have to meet much more stringent and costly emission 

control limits with more efficient emission control technology than those specified in the 

term sheet. The table below summarizes the environmental controls most likely to have 

to be installed as a result of the current regulatory framework.

IV. OVERVIEW OF FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 

Q. DO OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS EXIST THAT MAY 

REQUIRE ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENTS OR 

OPERATIONAL CHANGES AT NORTHEASTERN UNITS 3 AND 4 IN THE 

FUTURE? 

A. Yes, the following proposed and emerging federal and state rulemaking requirements 

could require additional investments or operational changes at Nottheastern Station: 

1. Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR)- The CSAPR was finalized by the 

EPA on July 6, 20 II, and it serves as the replacement for the former Clean Air 

Interstate Rule (CAIR). CSAPR, as currently written, affects 28 eastern, 

southern, and mid-western states, as well as the District of Columbia. This final 

rule defines state obligations to reduce emissions ofNOx and S02 that, according 

to the EPA, significantly contribute to another state's fine particulate (PM 2.5) 

and ozone nonattainment and maintenance areas. On December 15, 20 II, 

Oklahoma was one of the six additional states included in the final Supplemental 

Transport Rule which would have required PSO to reduce NOx emissions during 

the ozone season (May through September). 

CSAPR was set to take effect beginning on January I, 2012, but the D.C. 

Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order staying implementation on December 30, 

2011. Initially, the stay did not expressly cover the states included in the 

Supplemental Transpott Rule, so PSO filed a petition for Administrative 

Reconsideration and Stay of the Supplemental Transport Rule. A petition for 

judicial review of the Supplemental Transpmt Rule also was filed. EPA

announced on February 6, 2012, that because there is no practical way for covered 

sources to comply while CSAPR is subject to the D.C. Circuit's stay order, EPA 

does not expect covered sources to comply with the Supplemental Transport Rule 

while the D.C. Circuit stay remains in effect. On February 12, 2012, and June 12, 

2012, the EPA finalized revisions to CSAPR that made technical adjustments to 

the emissions budgets in certain states and delayed the implementation of 

restrictions on interstate emissions trading until Phase II of the program. On 

August 21,2012, the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion vacating CSAPR, but the 

final order is being withheld pending requests for rehearing. Until the final 

judgment is rendered, the stay on CSAPR remains in effect. 

2. Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule- The EPA published proposed CCR 

rule in June 20 I 0. The CCR Rule establishes standards for the management and 

disposal of byproducts of coal combustion in power plants (coal ash, etc.). As 

proposed, the CCR Rule contained three primary options, including one program 

to regulate CCRs as hazardous wastes, and two options to regulate CCRs as nonhazardous solid wastes. The CCR rule could, when finalized, require the 

conversion of wet ash disposal systems to dry landfill systems, the possible 

relining or closing of ash ponds, as well as the possible construction of waste 

water treatment facilities. Approximately 40 percent of CCRs are currently 

beneficially re-used as substitutes for aggregates, abrasives, and other native 

materials, so regulation of these materials as hazardous wastes could have 

significant impacts on disposal costs. EPA has announced its intention to

undertake a risk assessment of beneficial uses of CCRs, and there is pending 

litigation that could result in a firm deadline for issuing a final CCR Rule. 

3. Clean Water Act "316(b)" Rule- The EPA published the proposed 316(b) rule 

on April20, 2011, which establishes technology standards for the design and 

operation of coo ling water intake structures at existing electric generating 

facilities to lessen their impacts on aquatic organisms. The proposed rule requires 

a site-specific study of measures to avoid entrainment with a goal of achieving 90 

percent of the reductions that could be achieved through the use of a closed-cycle 

cooling system. A final rule is expected in July of2013. The implementation 

schedule for this rule could extend late into this decade due to the site-specific 

nature of the permitting process. 

4. Carbon Dioxide (C02) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission RegulationFor many years, Congress has considered, but failed to enact, comprehensive 

legislation to address greenhouse gases. EPA issued an endangerment finding and 

rules regulating GHG emissions from new motor vehicles in 2009, which 

triggered regulation of GHG emissions from new and modified major stationary 

sources under the preconstruction permitting program in the Clean Air Act. EPA 

also issued a Tailoring Rule to phase in regulation of new and modified stationary 

sources of GHGs under the Clean Air Act. These rules were challenged in the 

D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued a decision in June of2012 upholding 

EPA's rules. PSO would only be subject to these rules if it modified its existing 

sources in a way that increased GHG emissions above the thresholds in the 

Tailoring Rule, or built a new major source of GHG emissions.

On April 13,2012, EPA proposed New Source Performance Standards 

(NSPS) for GHG emissions from new fossil-fueled generation, including natural 

gas combined cycle units. The proposal establishes a C02 emission limit of I ,000 

lb/MWh, a standard EPA believes could be met by most new natural gas 

combined cycle units. Any new coal plant would need some form of carbon 

capture technology to meet the proposed limit, although EPA acknowledges that 

such technology is not currently cost-effective. The proposal does not apply to 

existing units, or simple cycle natural-gas units. Comments were submitted in 

June of 2012. The planned modifications under the RHA at Northeastern and 

PSO's other generating units will not make the new source NSPS for GHG 

applicable to these units. 

EPA had previously agreed to develop a NSPS program for existing fossilfired power plants, but currently states it has no plans to issue a proposed rule for 

existing sources. Given that there are currently no cost-effective post-combustion 

control technologies available, the standards are anticipated to focus on energy 

efficiency opportunities, but the substantive requirements of any future EPA 

proposal, and their applicability to Northeastern Station, are not yet known. 

5. The new one-hour S02 and N02 Primary National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS)- In 20 I 0 the EPA revised the NAAQS for S02 and N02, 

establishing new one-hour standards that are significantly more stringent than the 

prior standards. All areas in Oklahoma have been designated "unclassifiable/ 

attainment" for the one-hourN02 standard because no monitors measured values 

in excess of the new standard. EPA proposed to require states to use computer

modeling to determine whether violations of the new !-hour S02 standard might 

occur, but several states, including Oklahoma, have objected to this process. EPA 

has delayed the designations process to provide further opportunities for 

engagement on this issue (and others). Designations for whether an area is in 

attainment with the new S02 standard are expected from the EPA in mid-20 13. 

States must submit SIPs to the EPA for areas designated as being in 

attainment or unclassifiable by June 2013 and must submit SIPs for those areas 

designated as nonattainment by February 2014. These SIPs must provide details 

on the S02 emissions reductions, if any, necessary to either keep an area in 

attainment or bring an area currently out of attainment back into attainment. 

States must demonstrate that all areas will be in attainment with the new one-hour 

S02 standard no later than August 2017. While it is uncertain at this point 

whether Northeastern Station will be required by the Oklahoma SIP to reduce S02 

emissions from its current permitted emission limit, it is possible that some level 

of reductions will be needed to demonstrate attainment of the one-hour standard. 

6. Future revised NAAQS for PM and Ozone- EPA proposed a revised standard 

for fine particulate matter on June 26,2012, that would tighten the annual 

standard from 15 Jlglm3 to 12-13 Jlg/m3, retain the current 24-hour standard, and 

establish a new visibility protection standard for urban areas. Comments on the 

proposed standard are due August 31, 2012, and a final rule is expected to be 

issued by December 14, 2012. S02 and NOx are precursors of fine patticulate 

matter. Until the level of the final standard is known, it is uncertain whether

further emission reductions will be required from PSO's units as a result of this 

rule. 

EPA is also in the process of developing a revised standard for ozone, 

which is expected to be lower than the current standard. NOx is an ozone 

precursor. Until the level of the final standard is known, it is uncertain whether 

further emission reductions will be required from PSO's units as a result of this 

rule. 

7. Second planning period under RHR- The RHR provides for several planning 

periods prior to the 2064 deadline for achieving the national goal of natural 

visibility conditions in Class I Federal areas. States are required to develop a SIP 

for each planning period. The second planning period commences in 2019. It is 

anticipated that, during the second planning period, additional reductions of 

emissions affecting visibility may be required, or reductions may be required from 

additional sources, beyond those regulated in the first planning period. 

V. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 

Q. WAS PSO ENCOURAGED TO EXPLORE SETTLEMENT OF ITS 

CHALLENGE TO THE RH FIP? 

A. Yes. After the proposed RH FIP was issued, the Attorney General invited a group of 

stakeholders to discuss the proposed FJP, roles of various entities, developing comments 

on the proposed FIP and potential litigation (See Exhibit HLG- 4). The AG expressed 

his opinion that the state should also have a parallel path to negotiate a resolution with the 

EPA.

As a follow-up to the March II th meeting, Secretaries Ming and Sherrer 

requested, through a letter dated March 29, 2011 (See Exhibit HLG- 5), that PSO 

participate with state officials and others to develop a "Statewide Plan" to address all of 

the federal requirements affecting electric generating units with the ODEQ being the 

coordinator. PSO believed that the state would be able to negotiate a better outcome than 

the proposed FIP and accepted this invitation. 

A meeting was held on April5, 2011, at the ODEQ offices to initiate that process. 

Secretary Sherrer started that meeting by stating that the Governor, as well as Secretary 

Ming and himself felt that Oklahoma should make an attempt to negotiate with EPA in 

good faith to gain a better outcome than the proposed FIP. PSO worked with the ODEQ 

on a Statewide Plan while also working with the AG's office and the OCC and other 

major stakeholders to coordinate comments on the proposed FIP as well as participating 

in the OCC technical conferences on current and potential federal regulations impacting 

Oklahoma utilities. 

After the FIP was finalized and PSO filed its petition challenging the FIP, the 

parties continued their discussions and were ultimately successful in reaching agreement 

on a term sheet that confirms PSO's comprehensive compliance strategy for the RHR and 

MATS. 

Q. WOULD YOU PLEASE GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE PRINCIPAL TERMS 

OF THE EXECUTED TERM SHEET NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE EPA, THE 

STATE OF OKLAHOMA, THE ODEQ, AND PSO? 

A. The principal terms of the of the executed term sheet (Exhibit HLG- I) negotiated by the 

patties specifies the emission rates, timelines, and control equipment necessary to

comprehensively address PSO's compliance obligations under the RHR and the MATS 

rule at Nottheastern Units 3 and 4. 

The term sheet stipulates that the Settlement Agreement will result in a revised 

BART determination for Northeastern Units 3 and 4 that is adopted as a revision to the 

Oklahoma SIP that includes a RHA entered into by PSO and ODEQ. The RHA requires 

that by no later than December 31,2013, PSO will complete installation oflow-NOx 

combustion technologies and achieve a NOx emission rate of 0.23 lb/MMBtu on a 30-day 

rolling average individually at both Northeastern Units 3 and 4. The RHA also requires 

that beginning on January 31,2014, PSO will comply with a new S02 emission rate at 

Northeastern Units 3 and 4 of0.65lb/MMBtu on a 30-day rolling average, and with a 

new S02 emission rate of0.60 lb/MMBtu on a 12-month rolling average at these units. 

PSO has to maintain these emission rates until controls are installed at either 

Northeastern Unit 3 or 4, and the uncontrolled unit is retired; both of these actions must 

occur on or before April 16, 2016. 

Q. ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS TO COMPLYING WITH THE S02 EMISSION 

RATES? 

A. Yes. The SIP will include an alternative operating scenario so that if the coal supplies 

necessary to achieve the emission rates prescribed in the term sheet are not available 

during any future period when the above S02 emission rates are in effect, PSO will be 

subject to equivalent mass emission limitations on a 30-day average basis and a 12-month 

average basis, along with reporting requirements to both the ODEQ and EPA.

A. At this time, the Settlement Agreement has not been finalized but it is in the final stages 

of approval based on the executed term sheet. PSO will supplement this filing with a 

copy of the Settlement Agreement once it is final and executed. 

Q. HOW WILL THE TERM SHEET AND SUBSEQUENT RHA BE ENFORCED? 

A. The EPA will require that the RHA be enforced through a revised Oklahoma BART SIP 

for Northeastern Units 3 and 4. 

Q. CAN YOU PLEASE GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE APPROVAL PROCESS 

FOR THE REVISED OKLAHOMA SIP? 

A. After the Settlement Agreement is executed, PSO will provide a revised BART 

determination to ODEQ with supporting information for Northeastern Units 3 and 4. 

ODEQ will then develop and adopt a revised Oklahoma SIP. ODEQ will then submit the 

revised SIP to the EPA to undergo the standard SIP approval process, which includes 

public notice and comment. 

Q. EARLIER YOU MENTIONED INSTALLING CONTROLS AT ONE OF 

NORTHEASTERN'S COAL-FIRED UNITS. WOULD YOU PLEASE 

ELABORATE ON THIS PROVISION OF THE TERM SHEET? 

A. Yes. The tetm sheet requires that PSO install and operate a DSI system, an ACI system, 

and a FF, along with further N Ox emission reductions at the selected unit by April 16, 

2016. After installation of these controls, PSO will achieve a 0.15 lb/MMBtu emission 

rate for NOx and a 0.40 lb/MMBtu emission rate for S02, both on a 30-day rolling 

average basis.

Q. YOU ALSO MENTIONED RETIRING THE UNCONTROLLED UNIT. WHEN 

DOES THAT HAVE TO OCCUR? 

A. PSO will need to retire the uncontrolled coal-fired Northeastern unit by Aprill6, 2016. 

Q. DOES THE TERM SHEET REQUIRE MONITORING OF THE EMISSION 

RATES? 

A. Yes. During the first year of operation of the environmental emission controls, PSO will 

develop and propose a monitoring program to test various operating profiles and other 

measures, to determine whether increased S02 removal efficiencies can be achieved 

during normal operations. PSO will submit the monitoring program to EPA and ODEQ 

for review and implement it during the second and third years of operation of the DSI 

system. 

Q. HOW WILL THESE RESULTS OF THE EMISSION RATE MONITORING BE 

USED? 

A. PSO will evaluate and report the results ofthe monitoring program to EPA and ODEQ. 

If that evaluation shows that the installed technology is capable of sustaining an emission 

rate of less than 0.37 lb S02/MMBtu on a 30-day rolling average without altering the 

unit's fuel supply, incurring additional capital costs, increasing operating expenses by 

more than a negligible amount, and/or adversely impacting overall unit operations, 

ODEQ will propose to revise the emission rate in the RHA by 60 percent of the 

difference between 0.40 lb S02/MMBtu and the demonstrated emission rate. lfthe 

demonstrated emission rate is 0.37 lb S02/MMBtu or greater, no adjustment will be made 

to the RHA, and the emission rate for S02 from the operating Northeastern coal-fired 

generating unit in the RHA will remain 0.40 lb S02/MMBtu.

Q. DOES THE TERM SHEET RESTRICT THE OPERATION OF THE 

REMAINING NORTHEASTERN UNIT? 

A. Yes. Each year, beginning in calendar year 2021, the annual capacity factor for the 

remaining operating unit at Northeastern (calculated annually based on the percentage of 

megawatt-hours on a rated capacity of 470 MW times 8,760 hours) will be reduced to no 

more than 70 percent in calendar years 2021 and 2022; no more than 60 percent in 

calendar years 2023 and 2024, and no more than 50 percent in calendar years 2025 and 

2026. Although the Agreement establishes annual capacity factors, it does permit full 

operations during the summer period as long as annual capacity factors are not exceeded. 

Q. DOES THE TERM SHEET RELIEVE PSO OF COMPLYING WITH OTHER 

RULES AND REGULATIONS? 

A. No. 

Q. WHAT ULTIMATELY BECOMES OF THE UNIT AT NORTHEASTERN THAT 

IS CONTROLLED? 

A. The term sheet stipulates that PSO retire the remaining operating and controlled coalfired generating unit at Northeastern Station no later than December 31, 2026. However, 

beginning in calendar year 2021, PSO will be required to evaluate whether the projected 

generation from that unit can be replaced at lower or equal total projected costs from 

natural gas or renewable resources. Pursuant to the RHA, PSO will provide a copy of the 

evaluation to EPA and ODEQ. If power is available from such resources at a lower 

projected total cost (including consideration of PSO's need to recover its remaining 

investment in the units), then the operating unit will retire no later than December 31, 

2025.

Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and the State of Oklahoma 

The Term Sheet represents a tentative agreement on certain core terms and does not have 

any binding effect. The core te1ms of this Tenn Sheet will only become binding if incorporated 

into a Settlement Agreement in Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) v. U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), eta!., No. 12-9524, that has all the required tenus, 

receives all the necessary EPA and Depmtment of Justice approvals, and complies with Section 

113(g) of the Clean Air Act. 

I. PSO will submit to Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), and ODEQ 

will develop and adopt after public notice and hearing, and the Secretary of Environment for 

the State of Oklahoma will submit to the EPA, a revised Best Achievable Retrofit 

Technology (BART) determination with supporting administrative and technical infonnation 

and visibility modeling for PSO's Northeastern Units 3 and 4 that includes the following 

elements: 

a) ODEQ's SIP revision will include a Regional Haze Agreement (RHA) entered into by 

ODEQ and PSO to effectuate the BART determination. 

b) The RHA will require that by no later than December 31, 2013, PSO will complete 

installation oflow NOx combustion technologies and achieve a nitrogen oxide ("NOx") 

emission rate of0.23 lb/MMBtu on a 30-day rolling average at each of the two coal-fired 

generating units at PSO's Northeastern Station (Units 3 and 4). 

c) The RHA will require that beginning on January 31, 2014, PSO will comply with a new 

sulfur dioxide ("S02") emission rate at Nmtheastem Units 3 and 4 of 0.65 lb/MMBtu on 

a 30-day rolling average, and beginning on December 31,2014, PSO will comply with a 

new S02emission rate of0.60 lb/MMBtu on a 12-month rolling average at Northeastem 

Units 3 and 4. PSO will maintain those emission rates until controls are installed at one 

unit as provided in subparagraph e), and the other unit is retired as provided in 

subparagraph d). The RHA will include an altemative operating scenario that addresses 

potential disruption of coal supplies during the time period between January 31, 2014 

through April 16, 2016. 

d) The RHA will require that PSO seek an necessary regulatory approvals, and will retire 

one of the coal-fired generating units at Northeastern Station by Aprill6, 2016. 

e) The RHA will require that PSO seek an necessary regulatory approvals, and install and 

operate a dry-sorbent injection system, activated carbon injection system, and a fabric 

filter baghouse, and secure further NOx emission reductions by April 16,2016 on the 

coal-fired generating unit at Northeastem Station that will continue to operate. On and 

after May 16, 2016, PSO will achieve a 0.15lb/MMBtu emission rate for NOxon a 30-

day rolling average basis, and a 0.40 lb/MMBtu emission rate for S02 on a 30-day rolling 

average basis. 

f) The RHA will require that during the first year of operation of the controls required 

under the RHA, PSO will develop and propose a monitoring program to test various 

operating profiles and other measures, to detennine whether increased S02 removal 

efficiencies can be achieved during nom1al operations. Pursuant to the terms of the RHA, 

PSO will submit the monitoring program to EPA and ODEQ for review and will 

implement the monitoring program during the second and third years of operation of the 

DSI system. PSO will evaluate and report the results of the monitming program to EPA 

and ODEQ, and if that evaluation demonstrates that the technology is capable of 

sustainably achieving an emission rate ofless than 0.37lbs/MMBtu on a 30-day rolling 

average basis without (i) altering the unit's fuel supply, (ii) incurring additional capital 

costs, (iii) increasing operating expenses by more than a negligible amount, and/or (iv) 

adversely impacting overall unit operations, ODEQ will propose to revise the emission 

rate in the RHA by 60 percent of the difference between 0.40 and the demonstrated 

emission rate. ODEQ will work with PSO to maximize the emission reductions resulting 

fi·om the implementation of this agreement and the enforceable mechanism outlined in 

paragraph 3 below will only be implemented by ODEQ in the event that an emission rate 

of 0.30 lbs/MMbtu is determined to be unachievable under the criteria described above. 

Upon adoption after notice and opportunity for hearing, the ODEQ will submit the 

revised RH SIP revision to EPA for approval. If the demonstrated emission rate is 0.37 

lbs/MMbtu or greater, no adjustment will be made to the RHA, and the emission rate 

limitation for S02 at the operativg Northeastern coal-fired generating unit in the RHA 

will remain 0.40 lbs/MMBtu. 

g) The RHA will require that beginning in calendar year 2021, the Annual Capacity Factor 

(calculated for each calendar year as a percentage ofMWH based on a rated capacity of 

470 MW times 8760 hours) for the operating coal-fired generating unit at Nmtheastern 

Station will be reduced as follows: 

i. to no more than 70 percent in calendar years 202 I and 2022; 

ii. to no more than 60 percent in calendar years 2023 and 2024; and 

iii. to no more than 50 percent in calendar years 2025 and 2026. 

h) The RHA will require that no later than December 31, 2026, PSO will retire the 

remaining operating coal-fired generating unit at Northeastern Station. However, in 

calendar year 2021, the RHA will require PSO to evaluate whether the projected 

generation from that unit can be replaced at \ower or equal total projected costs fi·om 

natural gas or renewable resources. Pursuant to the RHA, PSO will provide a copy of the 

evaluation to EPA and ODEQ. If power is available from such resources at a lower 

projected total cost (including consideration of PSO's need to recover its remaining 

investment in the units), then the operating unit will retire no later than December 31, 

2025. 

2. Nothing in the RHA shall relieve PSO from its obligations to comply with all applicable 

federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including laws, regulations, and compliance 

2 of? 
Cause No PUD201200054 

Exhibit HLG -1 

Page 3 of7 

deadlines that become applicable after the date of entry of the RHA. Such laws and 

regulations include, but are not limited to, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the 

Mercury and Air Taxies Standards (MATS). Nothing in the revised BART determination for 

PSO's Northeastern Units 3 and 4 should be construed to provide any relief from the 

emissions limits or deadlines specified in such regulations, including, but not limited to, 

deadlines for the installation of pollution controls required by any such regulations. 

3. ODEQ also will develop and propose as part of the revised BART detennination for PSO, a 

revision to the Visibility Interstate Transpmt SIP. This proposed SIP revision will provide an 

enforceable mechanism that addresses S02 reductions from sources other than those operated 

by PSO, to the extent necessary to achieve the anticipated visibility benefits from the 2018 

regional modeling. This proposed SIP revision will be implemented if the S02 emission rate 

for the controlled unit at Northeastem is not reduced to 0.30 lbs/MMBtu or less as a result of 

the subparagraph f) provision in paragraph I. 

4. Separately fi·om the RH SIP process, EPA and PSO will enter into an agreement under which 

PSO will report biannually to EPA (beginning in 2017 for the period 2015-2016, and every 

second year thereafter through the end of2025 or 2026, whenever the last Northeastern unit 

is retired) on the energy produced by PSO's units and the sources of energy secured under 

PSO's long-tenn purchased power contracts. The initial repmt will include similar .. 

infonnation for calendar years 2013-2014. Requests for proposals (RFPs) for long-tenn 

purchase power contracts issued between 2013 and the date the reporting obligation ends will 

specifically seek bids for energy supplied by natural gas and renewable resources. The 

biannual reports will include copies of any RFPs issued during the reporting period, and a 

summary of the capacity or energy secured through any long-term power purchase 

agreements executed during the reporting period, including the unit(s) providing the 

purchased power, the amount of capacity or energy secured under the agreement, and the 

te1m of each agreement. 

5. An EPA letter to ODEQ and PSO dated July 18,2012 expresses EPA's support ofPSO's 

comprehensive strategy, and notes that the use of the technologies described in the RHA, 

when properly designed and operated, would be expected to achieve the emission limitations 

prescribed by the MATS rule issued February 16,2012 ("MATS letter"). 1fapproved by the 

appropriate EPA and DOJ officials, the pa1ties will enter into a Settlement Agreement in the 

matter referenced above, which will refer to the MATS letter in a "whereas" or "recital" 

clause and the MATS letter will be attached to the Settlement Agreement.

I want to express my thanks to both of you and the others who participated in the discussion on 

Thursday, July 12, 2012regarding the remaining issues in Public Service Company of Oklahoma's 

(PSO) forward-looking and comprehensive approach to achieving emission reductions in Oklahoma. I 

know I speak not only for the EPA Office of Air and Radiation, but also for Sam Coleman and his team 

in EPA Region 6, in expressing my appreciation for all the hard work and commitment it has taken you 

to reach this accord. 

EPA is pleased with the final agreement made by the State of Oklahoma and PSO to develop its 

plan for reducing emissions to meet state and federal requirements at the two coal-fired generating units 

at its Northeastern Station in Oologah, Oklahoma. While this agreement is focused on complying with 

the visibility requirements of the Clean Air Act, the control technology described in the agreement is 

also intended to achieve compliance with the Mercury and Air Taxies Standard (MATS). EPA supports 

such a comprehensive approach. Furthermore the types of controls that PSO plans to install (a 

combination of Dry Sorbcnt Injection (DSI) and subbituminous coal to meet the acid gas limits, 

activated carbon injection and a baghouse to meet the mercury limits, and a baghouse to meet the PM 

limits) arc the types of controls that, when well designed and operated, EPA would expect to be able to 

meet the MATS limits. 

EPA has every contidence that this technology, when properly installed and operated, will 

provide a means for PSO to meet both the visibility requirements of the Clean Air Act and the MATS 

requirements. This is exactly the type of agreement that will provide for a cost-effective approach to 

meet both the visibility requirements of the Clean Air Act and ultimately the MATS rule. EPA is 

committed to work closely with ODEQ in the development of the proposed SIP revision for a revised 

BART determination for the PSO plant based on the plan outlined in this agreement.

Re: Response to PSO Request of One (1) year Extension of MATS Compliance Date for 

Nm·theastern Power Station Units 3 and 4 

Dear Mr. Solomon: 

The purpose of this letter is to respond to Public Service Company of Oklahoma's ("PSO'') 

request dated August 2, 2012, for a one (I) year extension of the compliance deadlines set for1h 

in the U.S. EPA's Mercury Air Toxics Standard ("MATS Rule"). 77 Fed.Reg. 9304 (Feb. 16, 

2012). for Units 3 and 4 at PSO's Not1heastem Power Station. The MATS Rule was published 

on February 16,2012, and became effective on April 16,2012. 

The compliance deadline for regulations promulgated pursuant to § 112(d) of the federal Clean 

Air Act is no later than three (3) years after the effective date of the standard. See also· 42 U.S.C. 

§ 7412(i)(3){A). Accordingly, the compliance deadline for the MATS Rule is April 16, 2015. 

The federal Clean Air Act and U.S. EPA's implementing regulations allow the Oklahoma 

Depar1ment of Environmental Quality ("ODEQ"). as the State agency with an approved 

permitting program. to "grant[) an extension pennitting an existing source up to I additional year 

to comply with standards ... if such additional period is necessary for the installation of 

controls ... See 42 U.S.C. § 7412(i)(3)(B); see also 40 C.F.R. § 63.6(i)(4)(i)(A). 

PSO has indicated that the requested extension is necessary in order to install the emission 

control equipment discussed below on one coal-fired unit, as well as to replace generation fi·om 

the unit being shut down and avoid a generating capacity reserve deficiency under South~est 

Power Pool criteria. 

U.S. EPA's implementing regulations require a request for extension to include: a description of 

the controls to be installed to comply with the standard; and a compliance schedule. See 40 

C.F.R. § 63.6(i)(6)(i). In addition, the compliance schedule is required to include the date by 

which installation of the emission control equipment will commence and the date by which final

compliance is achieved. See id. PSO's request identifies the applicable control equipment to 

include: Dry-Sorbent Injection; Activated Carbon Injection; and a pulse-jet fab1ic filter 

baghouse. Moreover, it appears from Attachment A to PSO's request that construction will 

commence by June I, 2014, and final compliance with the MATS Rule will be achieved by April 

16,2016. 

ODEQ agrees that the circumstances under which PSO's request is based are consistent with the 

range of circumstances justifying an extension described in the preamble to the MATS Rule. See 

77 Fed.Reg. 9410-12 (Feb. 16, 2012). Based on the infonnation provided in PSO's request, the 

agency has detennined that an extension of the compliance date is warranted. Consequently, the 

request is granted and the MATS compliance deadline for Units 3 and 4 at PSO's Nmtheastern 

Power Station is extended until April 16,2016. 

As part of the extension process provided in EPA ·s regulations. "[t]he owner or operator of an 

affected source who has requested an extension of compliance under this paragraph ... [is 

required to] apply to have the source's title V penni! revised to incorporate the conditions of the 

extension of compliance." 40 C.F.R. § 63.6(i)(4)(i)(A). Once an administratively complete 

application for permit modification is received, ODEQ may take the necessary steps to 

incorporate the extension into PSO's permit. Thank you for your request and the information 

provided. If you have any questions or concems, please do not hesitate to contact me at (405)

As you are aware, federal pollution control requirements are rapidly converging, affecting all electric 

generating units operating within the state. Some of you are already affected by the Regional Haze 

rule, while everyone is likely subject to either the utility toxics rule, commonly called the Utility 

MACT, or Utility NSPS, which were announced by EPA in proposed form on March 15. These rules 

are in addition to the requirements associated with the lowering of the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for both S02 and N02 in 2010. 

State policy leaders met on Friday, March 11, 2011, regarding the possibility of developing a 

statewide plan addressing all of the federal requirements affecting electric generating units within 

Oklahoma. Ideally, any such plan would include all electric generating units within the state, 

including those regulated by the Corporation Commission. It is our belief that this approach will 

provide greater environmental benefits and regulatory/financial certainty for both the utilities and the 

citizens of Oklahoma. 

By this letter, we are encouraging your company to participate in the process, which will be 

coordinated by the Department of Environmental Quality. Participation in the process will not 

commit your company to do anything. We are hopeful that the collective development of a 

coordinated plan will be beneficial to your company. 

It is anticipated that actual work on this plan will begin sometime in April, after we know more about 

the requirements contained in the Utility MACT and NSPS proposals. Should your company desire 

to participate or if you have any questions as you make your decision, please contact either Steve 

Thompson, DEQ Executive Director, at 405-702-7161 or steve.thompson@deq.ok.gov, or Eddie

As you know, on June 1, 2011 I filed suit against the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) in the Western District of Oklahoma over the Regional Haze Rule. 

This suit alleges the EPA failed to follow the required approval process by rejecting 

Oklahoma's State Implementation Plan (SIP) and proposing its own Federal 

Implementation Plan (FIP). The purpose of this litigation was threefold: to preserve 

Oklahoma's rights under the Clean Air Act; to protect the interests of Oklahoma 

ratepayers from a costly EPA proposal; and to preserve Oklahoma's broader right to set 

its own energy policy. The EPA responded to our suit by filing a Motion to Dismiss. 

That motion has been fully briefed by the parties and is now in the hands of Judge Friot. 

While I am confident in the claims and arguments we have raised in the District Court, it 

was my expressed hope at the beginning of this process the stakeholders most 

impacted by the proposed FIP would use the time during the pendency of thrs litigation 

to develop a revised SIP that could be presented to EPA for consideration. 

This approach would allow the State of Oklahoma and the interested parties within our 

state to retain control of this process going forward. I understand this process involves 

a multitude of divergent interests. It may be difficult to develop a common proposal that 

sufficiently reflects all of these interests. That being said, I would appreciate an update 

from you on the status of progress made and discussions held in these matters, 

whether they were among the stakeholders themselves or between the stakeholders 

and the EPA. This information would be usefulto me as f plan our litig~tion strategy

Re: Proposed Regional Haze SIP Revision 

To Whom It May Concern: 

I am writing this letter on behalf of Dogwood Energy, LLC ("Dogwood"), a generator of 

electric power, in support of the proposed Regional Haze SIP Revision. Dogwood submits that 

the SIP fully complies with federal requirements to reduce regional haze and interstate pollution 

from the Northeastern coal-fired power plant in Oologah, Oklahoma. The requirement to retire 

one Northeastern unit by 2016, along with retrofits and a steady ramp-down of capacity at the 

other toward retirement in 2026, is a more cost-effective solution than requiring the installation 

of expensive scrubbers on both units. For the reasons set forth herein, Dogwood requests that the 

Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approve and finalize the SIP. 

The SIP Revision is consistent with the State of Oklahoma's energy plan. The state 

energy plan prioritizes the increased use of Oklahoma's energy resources such as wind and 

natural gas, and protection of public health and the environment. 1 Oklahoma is an exporter of 

both natural gas and wind, but a major importer of coal, including the coal burned by the 

Northeastern units. In 2012, Northeastern imported more than 3 million tons of coal from mines 

in Campbell, Wyoming, at a cost of roughly $63 million. 2 Adding scrubbers would have required 

continuation of those imports, requiring rail transport of large amounts of coal. The SIP 

Revision will instead encourage use of Oklahoma resources and the elinrination of 

Northeastem's coal imports by 2026. 

Transitioning from coal to gas, wind, energy efficiency, and demand response also has 

significant benefits for the overall reliability of the grid. As the amount of wind in Oklahoma and 

the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) rises, fossil generation will need to ramp production up and 

down more frequently, and to shut down for various periods of time during high wind 

production. The switching option would result in plants better suited to integrate with variable 

wind generation, both technically (since coal plants generally ramp more slowly than gas plants 

and often require longer periods between starts and stops) and economically (since the large 

investment in scrubbing and other environmental compliance will be partially stranded if coal 

units are often ramped down to accommodate wind energy, while gas plants would avoid their 

fuel costs). 

1 Govemor Mary Fallin & Secretary of Energy Michael Ming, Oklahoma First Energy Plan (2011), at 3, 5, available 

at http://www .ok.gov/govemor/docwnents/Govemor%20Fallin's%20Energy"lo20Pian%20-%20Jan%2020 12.pdf 2 SNL Financial (based on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-923 filings). 
The SIP Revision is a practical and legally sufficient response to EPA's disapproval of 

Oklahoma's BART determinations for sulfur dioxide for the Northeastern units.3 Dogwood 

agrees with DEQ that, with respect to the Northeastern units, the SIP Revision also addresses the 

state's obligation to address the visibility impacts of pollution transported to other states. The 

SIP Revision will also contribute to the state's "reasonable progress toward meeting the national 

goal" of eliminating human-caused visibility impairment by 2064. 

Oklahoma has the discretion to choose the "best" option, so long as it has considered all 

relevant factors consistent with the BART guidelines, and "provide[ d) a justification." Dogwood 

believes DEQ correctly and justifiably chose the alternative that provides for the gradual phaseout of the Northeastern coal units. Dogwood supports the SIP Revision and urges DEQ to 

promptly move forward with finalizing and implementing the rule.

Public Hearing and Opportunity for Comment on the Oklahoma Department of Environmental 

Quality Revision to Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Including Revisions to Affected 

Portion of the Interstate Transport SIP for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQSrelating to the American Electric Power/Public Service Company of Oklahoma (AEPIPSO) 

Northeastern Power Station Units 3 & 4. 

The Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) is a voluntary association of local 

governments serving the Tulsa metropolitan area and communities throughout northeastern 

Oklahoma. INCOG has been involved in air quality planning, advocacy and public education 

since the 1980's. 

INCOG recognizes the diligent efforts of ODEQ, Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO), 

the Oklahoma Secretary of the Environment, the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA), and the Sierra Club to reach a settlement agreement relating to PSO's 

Northeastern electric generating coal-fired units 3 and 4. 

The proposed Regional Haze Revised State Implementation Plan (RH SIP) will dramatically 

reduce the facilities' short and long term emissions through the use of the Best Available Control 

Technology (BART). Consequently, these S02 and NOx reductions are expected to have a 

positive impact in reducing ground-level ozone and particulates in the Tulsa metropolitan area. 

This Revised RH SIP is the product of initiative, cooperation and common sense. The plan 

provides a reasonable approach to achieve lower emissions, to meet both federal RH guidelines 

and federal Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS), and to provide for additional scheduled 

emissions reductions. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter.

Re: Comments of Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers 

("OIEC") on the March 20,2013 [Proposed] Revision to 

Regional Haze State Implementation Plan ("Proposal") 

Dear Ms. Bradley: 

OIEC is a non-partisan, unincorporated association of large consumers of energy with 

facilities located in Oklahoma. OIEC is an advocate for fair, just and reasonable utility rates, and 

for economic development. OIEC's Members are engaged in energy price-sensitive industries 

such as pulp and paper, cement, refining, glass, industrial gases, plastic, film and food 

processing. OIEC Members employ thousands of Oklahomans. 

Pursuant to the April 18, 2013 Notice of Public Hearing and Opportunity for Comment, 

OIEC is hereby submitting comments opposing adoption of the above referenced Proposal. The 

Proposal would determine the revised best available retrofit technology ("BART") for Public 

Service Company of Oklahoma's ("PSO") Northeastern coal-fired electric generating units 3 and 

4 ("Units"). 

Under the current federal implementation plan ("FIP"), BART for sulfur dioxide ("S02") 

emitted by the Units is dry flue gas desulfurization ("DFGD") control technology. 76 Fed. Reg. 

81728 (Dec. 28, 2011). The Proposal is that BART for S02 emitted from the Units be: "(1) the 

facility will shut down one of the affected units (either 3 or 4) by April 16, 2016; (2) the facility 

will install and operate a dry sorbent injection ('DSI') system on the remaining unit to meet an 

emission standard of0.40 lb/mmBTU or less from Aprill6, 2016 to December 31, 2026; and (3) 

the facility will incrementally decrease capacity utilization for the remaining unit between 2012 

and 2016, and will shut down the remaining unit no later than December 31, 2016." [Proposed] 

Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision, p. 6 (Mar. 20, 2013).

OIEC is opposing adoption of the Proposal because the agreement on which the Proposal 

is based may be void; early retirement of a facility cannot be a BART control option; the 

significant replacement capacity and energy costs arising from the early retirement of the Units 

have not been considered, and make the Proposal much more costly than the DFGD retrofit 

alternative; the Proposal cannot be a valid alternative to BART because it results in decreased 

visibility and higher S02 emissions when compared to the DFGD alternative, and therefore does 

not make greater reasonable progress than does BART; and the significant adverse effect of the 

Proposal on electricity charges to PSO's ratepayers has been ignored. Accordingly, and based 

upon the further explanation of each of these points below, OIEC requests that the Proposal be 

withdrawn 1

• 

1. The underlying Agreement. The Proposal is based upon, and is intended to 

implement, a settlement agreement ("Agreement"). [Proposed] Regional Haze Implementation 

Plan Revision, p. 4 (Mar. 20, 2013). That Agreement was executed on behalf of the State of 

Oklahoma by Gary L. Sherrer, Secretary of the Environment for the State of Oklahoma (the 

"Secretary"). The Secretary has certain limited statutory duties, and such other duties as 

designated by the Governor. 27A O.S. §1-2-101 (2011). Binding the State by entering into 

settlement agreements is not a statutory power of the Secretary, nor could it be considered an 

implied power necessary to an efficient exercise of his limited express duties. Strong v. Police 

Pension and Retirement Bd., 115 P. 3d 889, 893 (Okla. 2005). Accordingly, unless the Secretary 

has some written authority from the Governor authorizing him to enter into settlement 

agreements binding the State, which writing would have to have been issued prior to October 1, 

2012, the date the Secretary executed the Agreement, the Agreement is an ultra vires act of the 

Secretary and hence void. See, Canning v. NLRB, 705 F. 3d 490, 513-14 (CADC 2013). If the 

Agreement is void, DEQ should withdraw the Proposal, because it no longer has any basis. 

2. Shut down cannot be BART. BART "means an emission limitation based on the 

degree of reduction achievable through the application of the best system of continuous emission 

reduction for each pollutant which is emitted by an existing stationary facility." 40 C.F.R. 

§51.301. Simply put, BART is defined to constitute the available retrofit technology which is 

expected to be most cost effective and most effective in reducing air emissions and improving 

visibility for certain existing stationary sources. EPA's BART Guidelines provide that BART 

cannot be conversion of an existing coal plant to natural gas (40 C.F.R. Part 51, Appendix Y, 

§IV(D)(3) and (5)), because conversion is not "retrofitting." See also, 76 Fed. Reg. 81750 (Dec. 

28, 2011 ). For similar reasons, mandating the early retirement of a generating facility to achieve 

emissions reductions also cannot be BART. Not only would there be no "retrofit"; there would 

cease to be "an existing stationary facility." Accordingly, the Proposal, which requires 

retirement of the Units years before the end of their useful operating lives, cannot be adopted as 

BART. 

1 OIEC suggests that if the Proposal is withdrawn, PSO should provide the Oklahoma Department of Environmental 

Quality ("DEQ") with additional supplemental BART determination information, based upon conditions as they 

exist today. 

2 
3. Cost Effectiveness Evaluation. Even assuming, arguendo, that mandating the 

early retirement of the Units could be considered as part of a BART proposal, it was error to not 

consider certain important "costs of compliance" as required by applicable regulations. 40 

C.F.R. §51.301 (definition of BART). These omitted compliance costs include: a) the cost of 

replacement capacity and energy arising from the mandated retirement of one of the Units in 

20 16; b) the cost of replacement energy arising from the capacity restrictions which are imposed 

on the second Unit during the period 2021-2026; and c) the cost of replacement capacity and 

energy arising from the mandated retirement of the second Unit no later than 2026. By 

improperly ignoring the replacement capacity and energy costs arising from the mandated early 

retirements of the Units, the analysis has incorrectly concluded that the cost effectiveness in 

dollars per ton of S02 removed for the Proposal is $1,005 per ton, which is lower than the 

estimated S02 removal cost for the DFGD technology ($1 ,544/ton) that EPA determined to be 

BART in the existing FIP. In fact, by ignoring replacement capacity and energy costs arising 

from the mandated retirements and operating restrictions, the cost of the Proposal is understated 

by at least $262 million per year, as explained further below (this $262 million does not include 

the additional replacement energy costs discussed in paragraph (iii) below): 

(i) Based on PSO's forecast as presented in Oklahoma Corporation Commission 

("OCC") Cause No. PUD 201200054, the replacement capacity cost for the 

Unit which must be retired in 2016 would be at least $56 million per year. 

(ii) Based on PSO's forecast in OCC Cause No. PUD 201200054, the replacement 

capacity cost for the Unit which must be retired in 2026 would be at least $68 

million per year. 

(iii) Based on the 85% annual capacity factor assumed in the analysis, and a 

forecasted $20/MWh differential between coal and natural gas energy costs, 

the replacement energy cost due to the operating restrictions placed on the 

remaining Unit during the 2021-2026 period would be approximately $20 

million per year ($120 million total). 

(iv) Based on the 85% annual capacity factor assumed in the analysis, and a 

forecasted $20/MWh differential between coal and natural gas energy costs, 

the replacement energy cost for the Units after both are retired would be 

approximately $138 million per year. 

Adding the $262 million per year of estimated replacement capacity and energy costs 

arising from retirement of the Units to the $25 million per year cost estimate for other 

compliance costs under the Proposal results in a total compliance cost of $287 million per year. 

This amount is more than six times the cost estimate for the DFGD retrofit option ($45 million 

per year). Thus, the Proposal will be approximately $242 million a year more costly than the 

existing BART. 

The much higher cost which would be incurred by PSO' s customers under the Proposal is 

not justified when compared to costs of the DFGD retrofit or fuel switching alternatives. For 

example, as summarized in Table I, when replacement capacity and energy costs for the retired 

3 
Units are properly considered, the compliance costs of the Proposal as measured on a dollars per 

ton of S02 removed ($11 ,532 per ton) and a dollars per deciview improvement ($65,323,175) 

basis, are three to four times higher than the cost of compliance under the DFGD retrofit 

alternative, and are approximately three times higher than the upper range of costs which have 

been found to be cost effective by the EPA in other BART determinations. These results reflect 

the fact that the Proposal is far more costly than the DFGD alternative or other BART 

determinations, and at the same time would actually result in higher S02 emissions and less 

visibility improvement than the DFGD alternative.

In addition, as shown in Table 2, the $11,532 per ton of S02 removed under the Proposal 

is approximately three to eight times the level of costs approved by EPA in BART 

determinations for other power plants, which range from $1,462 per ton up to $3,547 ton2

In fact, the Proposal is not cost effective, even when evaluated over an extended time 

period. For example, on page 4-6 of the Supplemental Bart Determination Information report, 

Trinity Consultants, Inc. (PSO's consultant) has presented the results of an analysis which 

suggests that the Proposal would reduce total S02 emissions over the 2014-2046 period by 

approximately 18,145 tons when compared to the level of forecasted S02 emissions under the 

DFGD retrofit alternative. However, the bases for these projections were not provided. Absent 

back-up documentation, that analysis is unreliable and cannot be relied upon. Even assuming 

these projections are correct, they would equate to an average S02 reduction of 567 tons per year 

over the 32-year study period when compared to the level of S02 emissions under the DFGD 

retrofit alternative. In light of the fact that the Proposal is forecasted to cost $242 mi!lion per 

year more than the DFGD retrofit alternative, this means that the incremental cost to achieve the 

additional 567 tons per year of S02 reduction under the Proposal would be approximately 

$426.8 thousand per ton. This incremental cost for S02 removal under the Proposal is nearly 

100 times the first year incremental cost for S02 removal ($4,718 per ton) for the DFGD (i.e., 

existing FIP) alternative, which itself is too high. Revised BART Determination, p. II (Mar. 19, 

2013) ("Revised BART Report"). 

Moreover, it was previously concluded that the much lower cost DFGD retrofit option is 

not cost effective, as indicated on page 81 of the February 2010 Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan ("SIP"): 

5 
DEQ conducted a thorough case-by-case five-factor BART analysis for each of the 

BART -subject units. DEQ determined that Dry-Flue Gas Desulfurization with Spray 

Dryer Absorber ("Dry FGD with SDA") is not cost-effective for S02 control for any of 

the six coal-fired steam electric units reviewed, i.e., OG&E Sooner Units 1 and 2, OG&E 

Muskogee Units 4 and 5, and PSO Northeastern Units 3 and 4. This determination is 

based on the capital cost of add-on controls, the cost effectiveness both in dollars per ton 

and dollars per deciview of add-on controls, and the long term viability of coal with 

respect to other environmental programs, and national commitments. In addition to 

information provided prior to the public hearing, DEQ considered public comments, and 

additional information provided by the affected facilities in response to questions raised 

by the commentors and DEQ staff. Revised cost estimates were provided by the affected 

facilities that are based on vendor quotes and go well beyond the default methodology 

recommended by EPA guidance. The cost estimates are credible, detailed, and specific 

for the individual facilities. The final estimate for Dry FGD with SDA for the six coalfired units was on average 153% greater than the high end costs assumed by DEQ in the 

Draft SIP. These costs put the projects well above costs reported for other BART 

determinations, and above the levels DEQ considered reasonable for cost effectiveness 

both in terms of dollars per ton of pollutant removed and dollars per deciview (e.g., 

$1 0,000,000/dv) of improved visibility. 

In summary, the Proposal is considered cost effective based on an analysis that does not 

include approximately $262 million per year of replacement capacity and energy costs which 

PSO would be required to incur due to the mandated early retirement of the Units. When these 

replacement costs are considered, the costs of the Proposal are far higher than the DFGD retrofit 

option, which previously was determined to not be a cost effective option. For these reasons, the 

Proposal cannot be determined to be cost effective when compared to the DFGD retrofit 

alternative or other EPA BART determinations. 

4. Visibility/Greater Reasonable Progress Evaluation. It has not been demonstrated 

that the Proposal meets the requirement that approvable alternatives to BART must achieve 

greater reasonable progress than would be achieved through the installation and operation of 

BART (i.e., the DFGD retrofit option). 40 C.F.R. §51.308(e)(2)(i). In fact, on page 11 of the 

Revised BART Report, it is acknowledged that the DFGD option "would provide improvements 

in visibility above that achieved with the DSI system" but argues that such improvements would 

not be perceptible. This conclusion clearly indicates that the Proposal does not meet the greater 

reasonable progress standard with regard to visibility improvement. 

In addition, a significant portion of the emissions reductions attributed to the Proposal 

could also be achieved by switching to ultra-low sulfur coal (as recommended by DEQ's original 

SIP) and by installing DSI control technology to meet requirements of the MATS rule, which 

would be necessary by 2016 even if the Proposal did not exist. For example, by simply 

switching to ultra-low sulfur coal PSO could reduce total forecasted S02 emissions on its system 

by approximately 33%, while the addition of DSI controls, which is required by MATS, 

produces approximately 67 thousand tons (6.4%) of the total forecasted S02 removal attributed 

to the Proposal. The DSI emission reductions cannot be used to achieve greater reasonable 

6 
progress because it must be: "demonstrat[ ed] that the emission reductions resulting from the 

emissions trading program or other alternative measure will be surplus to those reductions 

resulting from measures adopted to meet requirements of the CAA as of the baseline date of the 

SIP.'' 40 C.F.R. §51.308(e )(2)(iv) (emphasis added). 

By including emissions reductions arising from DSI and by ignoring reductions which 

could be achieved through switching to ultra-low sulfur coal, the Proposal overstates the 

emissions reductions due to the Proposal which are surplus to reductions that were achievable 

through other control measures or by implementing measures to meet CAA requirements that 

existed as of the baseline date of the revised SIP. 

Also, any alternative to BART must require that: "all necessary emission reductions take 

place during the period of the first long-term strategy for regional haze." 40 C.F.R 

§51.308(e)(2)(iii). The first long-term strategy period ends in 2018. However, the Proposal fails 

to meet this requirement, because the level of S02 emissions under the Proposal is expected to 

be significantly higher than emissions under the DFGD alternative until well after 2018. S02 

emissions will only be lower when the second Unit is retired. The S02 emission rate for DSI 

(estimated at 0.4 pounds per MMBtu) is six point six times the forecasted emission rate of the 

Units (0.06 pounds per MMBtu) with DFGD control technology. 

Aecordingly, the Proposal cannot be adopted as a formal alternative to BART, and it 

should be withdrawn. 

OIEC also questions the assertion on page 12 of the Revised BART Report that it expects 

cumulative S02 and NOx emissions from the Units are expected to be approximately 36% of the 

emissions level that would result from the DFGD retrofit option. Underlying details of the 

analysis supporting the above assertion were not provided with the Revised BART Report. 

Absent back-up documentation, that assertion is unreliable and cannot be used to justifY the 

Proposal. 

In addition, the Proposal ignores the additional NOx emissions that would be produced 

by gas-fired generation or purchased power sources that PSO would have to acquire to replace 

the Units after they are retired in 2016 and 2026. Finally, it was assumed that, if DFGD 

retrofitted, the Units would operate for another 30 years (i.e., until 2046). There is no support for 

this assumption. In fact, PSO has stated in testimony in OCC Cause No. PUD 201200054 that it 

expects the Units would likely be retired by 2030 (i.e. 13 years after DFGD retrofits are 

implemented). If the emissions analysis was adjusted to reflect a shorter remaining operating life 

of the Units, consistent with PSO's own forecast, and to aecount for NOx emissions produced 

from sources that replace the Units, the estimated emissions reduction attributable to the 

Proposal would likely be eliminated. 

5. The BART analysis is based on outdated planning assumptions. The BART 

analysis supporting the Proposal is based on PSO long-term planning studies that are no longer 

valid. On April 9, 2013, the Company announced to the OCC that it will have to update its 

Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") to reflect previously unanticipated increases in near-term peak 

demand due to recent significant growth in oil and gas production activities on its system. These 

7 
changes will increase replacement costs for the Units and also increase future S02 and NOx 

emissions on PSO's system, and thereby could significantly alter results of the BART analysis 

supporting the Proposal. Due to these material changes, DEQ's current BART analysis is no 

longer valid and therefore needs to be revised once PSO's updated IRP is completed and 

approved by the OCC later this year. 

6. Ratepayer Impacts have been ignored. The Proposal completely ignores the 

potentially devastating impact of the Proposal on PSO's ratepayers, presumably because EPA 

doesn't consider such impacts relevant in a BART analysis. However, as we have shown herein, 

the Proposal cannot be BART or a formal BART alternative. In that context, EPA has 

recognized that utility companies can consider "any potential impact on rates." 76 FR 81749 

(Dec. 28, 2011). See also, 27A O.S. 2-5-107(4) (2011) (economic impacts are to be 

considered). Accordingly, the potentially devastating impact of the Proposal on PSO' s 

ratepayers must be considered here. Evidence presented by PSO in OCC Cause No. PUD 

201200054 indicates that the Proposal may significantly increase costs to ratepayers. Parties 

have presented testimony in OCC Cause No. PUD 201200054 to the effect that the Proposal 

could increase rates by 15% to 19% in 2016, and that future rate increases due to the Proposal 

are expected to be much larger. Moreover, PSO's own analysis in OCC Cause No. PUD 

201200054 indicates that the costs to ratepayers are expected to be approximately $1.9 billion 

higher under the Proposal than they would be under the DFGD retrofit alternative over the 2016-

2040 period. This independent analysis by PSO further confirms that the Proposal is not cost 

effective when compared to the DFGD alternative. Moreover, estimates presented by OIEC in 

testimony presented in OCC Cause No. PUD 201200054 indicate that the Proposal could be 

approximately $5 billion more costly to ratepayers than the low sulfur coal alternative which was 

designated by DEQ as BART in its original SIP. 

In summary, the basis for the Proposal may be void, the Proposal impermissibly 

mandates retirement of the Units, it is approximately $242 million per year more costly than the 

existing BART (DFGD retrofit) alternative, would result in higher S02 emissions and lower 

visibility, and is forecasted to result in much larger rate increases than the DFGD retrofit option. 

The cost of the Proposal is also far higher than the ultra-low sulfur fuel switch alternative which 

DEQ determined to be BART in the original SIP and is approximately three to eight times the 

cost of BART proposals approved by EPA for other coal plants. Accordingly, the Proposal does 

not meet the criteria established by the EPA for approval as BART, or as an alternative to 

BART, and it is not in the interest of PSO's ratepayers. The Proposal should, therefore, be 

withdrawn.

RE: Comments of Oklahoma Attorney General on the Oklahoma Department of 

Envirorunental Quality's ("DEQ") March 20,2013 Proposed Revision to Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan ("Revised SIP") 

On March 19, 2013, the Air Quality Division of the Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality ('DEQ") submitt.ed its Revised BART Determination concerning AEPPublic Service Company of Oklahoma's Northeastern Power Plant. As noted in that document, 

the Northeastern Power Plant is located in Rogers CoWlty and consists of two 490 MW coalfired steam electric generating units. As fwther noted in the docwnent, after partial approval and 

partial disapproval of the Oklahoma Regional Haze (RH) State Implementation Plan (SIP) by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a settlement plan was agreed upon between certain 

parties to address necessary visibility improvements. The stated purpose of DEQ's review 

regarding the Northeastern Plant "is to document that the agreed-upon control scheme meets the 

3 1:1 N.E. 21ST STU~ • 0KIAJ40MA Cm, OK 73105 • (405) 52t-3nl • FAX: (405) 521·62-46

requirements of the BART review and will serve to replace the disapproved portions of the 

corresponding BART submittal Analysis in Oklahoma's RH SfP." 

In general, the settlement agreement requires that PSO shut down one of the coal-fl!ed 

units by April 16, 2016, and the second unit by December 26, 2026. While the second unit 

would remain operational, certain emissions controls would be installed and PSO would 

gradually restrict capacity utilization of that unit beginning in 2021. The Attorney General 

would note that inherent in the settlement plan is the retirement of two coal-fired electric 

generating units and the obvious need to replace either a portion or all of the capacity/energy 

associated with those plants. The Attorney General would further note that the first of five 

factors considered by DEQ in its BART determination is ''the costs of compliance" (see Revised 

BART Determination, p. I 0). 

A review of DEQ's Revised BART Determination reveals a fundamental omissionwhile DEQ considered the cost of emissions control equipment over the life of the operating coal 

unit, it did not consider the cost of replacement capacity/energy for both units that is, of 

necessity, part of the plan. The need to replace capacity/energy resulting from the retirement of a 

unit by 2016 is evinced by PSO's agreement with Calpine to provide approximately 250 MWs of 

purchased-power by that date. The costs of that contract range from $29 million to $31 mi11ion 

per year for the fifteen (15)-year term of the contract. Additional costs associated with that 

replacement power arise from the difference in costs between the use of coal and the use of 

natural gas as a fuel source. The additional costs associated with the decreased utilization and 

eventual retirement of the second unit in 2026 are, at this time, un-quantified as PSO has not 

established a plan for replacement power for that unit.

IVIay. LU. IUIJ I :q lriVI No. 01?2 P. 4 

Another factor complicates and makes questionable the cost of compliance analysis. 

PSO has recently notified the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (Commission) that it intends 

to submit an amended Integrated Resource Plan (JRP). The stated purpose for the amendment is 

PSO's updated need to serve approximately 250 MWs of load in the 2016 timeframe .. PSO's 

2012 IRP, finalized on September 26, 2012, provided for replacement of only roughly one-half 

of the capacityfenergy of the 490 MW coal-fired plant to be retired in 2016. It is now evident 

that replacement for the entire capacityfenergy output of that plant is necessary. As such, the 

costs associated with the settlement plan must now be re-examined as it is obvious that 

additional cost, although cWTently on-quantified, results from the retirement of that plant. 

DEQ has concluded that the Proposal is cost effective based on an analysis that does not include 

replacement capacity and energy costs which PSO would be required to incur due to the 

mandated early retirement of the Units. According to the record, DEQ's analysis omitted the 

following compliance costs: The cost of replacement capacity that will be incurred because of 

the retirement of one of the tmits in 20 16; The costs of replacement energy which will occur 

when the restrictions on capacity for the second unit go into effect in 2021-2026; and the cost of 

replacement capacity which will occur when the second unit is retired in 2026. The omission of 

these costs of compliance in the analysis means that DEQ's cost effectiveness detennination is 

based on incomplete information and clearly underestimates the true costs of the proposal, and 

by extension, the cost effectiveness of the revised SIP. 

In addition, the early retirement of the units arguably makes the settlement proposal and the 

resulting revised SIP much more costly and stringent than the EPA Federnl hnplementation Plan.

Re: PSOIEP A Settlement Agreement- Revised State Implementation Plan 

Dear Mr. Thompson: 

As· you are aware, the PSO/EP A settlement plan, upon which the revised State 

Implementation Plan ("SIP") is based, required that Public Sel'Vice Corporation of Oklahoma 

("PSO") decommission one ofits coal-fired generation facilities by 2016. The 2012 PSO Integrated 

Resource Plan ("IRP") provided for the replacement of only 260 MWs of the 500 MW coal-fired 

generation plant that is scheduled fm· closure. As such, the cost estimates for the SIP settlement plan 

are premised upon replacement of roughly only one-half of that plant's capacity and energy. 

Recently, PSO announced its intention to submit a revised IRP at the Oklahoma C01poration 

Conunission to amend its 2012 IRP. The stated purpose of this amended IRP is to include 

approximately 250 MWs of electric load that will be sel'Ved by PSO in the 2016 time frame. 

Because PSO has added additional load which now requires a revision to the 2012 IRP, the 

cost information concerning the PSO/EPA settlement plan and, hence, the revised SIP, may be 

inaccurate to a degree that cannot be dete1mined at this time. As such, cost assessments that have 

been conducted in the PSO proceeding at the Cmporation Commission and by the Oklahoma 

Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") in association with the SIP are based on incomplete 

and iliJiccurate data (see revised paragraph 12 in Fit·st Amended Regional Haze Agreement). More 

accurate cost information will be developed after PSO submits its amended lRP in June of this year 

and includes the entire 500 MWs of needed capacity/energy as opposed to only 260MWs. 

In addition, Title 2 7 A O.S. § 1-1-206 "Economic Impact-EnvirorunentalBenefit Statement" 

t·equires a state environmental agency to duly detmmine the economic impact and environmental 

benefit of a permanent tule that is more stringent than corresponding federal requirements, unless 

such stringency is specifically authorized by state statute. It is certainly arguable that tlte proposed 

revised SIP for PSO is more stringent than the previously issued EPA FIP. Without accurate updated

cost infonnation from PSO's revised JRP, it seems unlikely that any economic impact -

environmental benefit statement compiled by DEQ would be accurate, 

Based on the above, I respectfully request that DEQ delay the public meetiog scheduled for 

May 20, 2013, and delay a final decision regarding the SIP, until PSO's amended IRP can be fully 

vetted in proceedings at the Corporation Commission, The 2013 IRP process will yield additional 

information tllat will provide the opp01tunity to ascertain the true cosr of the SIP that is required in

RE: Comments of Oklahoma Attorney General on the Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality's ("DEQ") March 20, 2013 Proposed Revision to Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan ("Revised SIP") 

On March 19, 2013, the Air Quality Division of the Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality ('DEQ") submitted its Revised BART Determination concerning AEPPublic Service Company of Oklahoma's Northeastern Power Plant. As noted in that document, 

the Northeastern Power Plant is located in Rogers County and consists of two 490 MW coalfired steam electric generating units. As further noted in the document, after partial approval and 

partial disapproval of the Oklahoma Regional Haze (RH) State Implementation Plan (SIP) by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a settlement plan was agreed upon between certain 

parties to address necessary visibility improvements. The stated purpose of DEQ's review 

regarding the Northeastern Plant "is to document that the agreed-upon control scheme meets the

requirements of the BART review and will serve to replace the disapproved portions of the 

corresponding BART submittal Analysis in Oklahoma's RH SIP." 

In general, the settlement agreement requires that PSO shut down one of the coal-fired 

units by April 16, 2016, and the second unit by December 26, 2026. While the second unit 

would remain operational, certain emissions controls would be installed and PSO would 

gradually restrict capacity utilization of that unit beginning in 2021. The Attorney General 

would note that inherent in the settlement plan is the retirement of two coal-fired electric 

generating units and the obvious need to replace either a portion or all of the capacity/energy 

associated with those plants. The Attorney General would further note that the first of five 

factors considered by DEQ in its BART determination is "the costs of compliance" (see Revised 

BART Determination, p.lO). 

A review of DEQ's Revised BART Determination reveals a fundamental omissionwhile DEQ considered the cost of emissions control equipment over the life of the operating coal 

unit, it did not consider the cost of replacement capacity/energy for both units that is, of 

necessity, part of the plan. The need to replace capacity/energy resulting from the retirement of a 

unit by 2016 is evinced by PSO's agreement with Calpine to provide approximately 250 MWs of 

purchased-power by that date. The costs of that contract range from $29 million to $31 million 

per year for the fifteen (15)-year term of the contract. Additional costs associated with that 

replacement power arise from the difference in costs between the use of coal and the use of 

natural gas as a fuel source. The additional costs associated with the decreased utilization and 

eventual retirement of the second unit in 2026 are, at this time, un-quantified as PSO has not 

established a plan for replacement power for that unit. 

2 
Another factor complicates and makes questionable the cost of compliance analysis. 

PSO has recently notified the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (Commission) that it intends 

to submit an amended Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The stated purpose for the amendment is 

PSO's updated need to serve approximately 250 MWs of load in the 2016 timeframe. PSO's 

2012 IRP, finalized on September 26, 2012, provided for replacement of only roughly one-half 

of the capacity/energy of the 490 MW coal-fired plant to be retired in 2016. It is now evident 

that replacement for the entire capacity/energy output of that plant is necessary. As such, the 

costs associated with the settlement plan must now be re-examined as it is obvious that 

additional cost, although currently un-quantified, results from the retirement of that plant. 

DEQ has concluded that the Proposal is cost effective based on an analysis that does not include 

replacement capacity and energy costs which PSO would be required to incur due to the 

mandated early retirement of the Units. According to the record, DEQ's analysis omitted the 

following compliance costs: The cost of replacement capacity that will be incurred because of 

the retirement of one of the units in 2016; The costs of replacement energy which will occur 

when the restrictions on capacity for the second unit go into effect in 2021-2026; and the cost of 

replacement capacity which will occur when the second unit is retired in 2026. The omission of 

these costs of compliance in the analysis means that DEQ's cost effectiveness determination is 

based on incomplete information and clearly underestimates the true costs of the proposal, and 

by extension, the cost effectiveness of the revised SIP. 

In addition, the early retirement of the units arguably makes the settlement proposal and the 

resulting revised SIP much more costly and stringent than the EPA Federal Implementation Plan.

Statement:

Comments to Oklahoma Department of Environmental Qualiy 

on Proposed Regional Haze & Transport 

State Implementation Plan Revision 

05/20/13 

The Governor, Office of the Attorney General, Secretary of the Environment, Secretary of 

Energy, Corporation Commission staff and Oklahoma Sierra Club support American Electric 

Power/Public Service Company's compliance plan as a common sense approach for 

complying with federal regulatory safeguards and set:ng firm dates for retirement of both 

AEP-PSO coal units. 

I support the proposed revision of the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for the 

AEP-PSO Northeastern Units 3 and 4, which provide for the first coal-burning unit to be 

phased out by April 16, 2016. The second unit will remain in use with pollution control 

technology installed by April16, 2016. Between 2021 and 2026, AEP-PSO will significantly 

reduce the amount of coal burned at the unit until the plant is decommissioned no later than 

December 31, 2026. 

This option is more cost effective than retrofitting coal units with expensive scrubbers. 

Continuing to run the outdated, aging plants until2041 would raise rates for residential 

customers by 14.3% compared to a projected 11% under PSO's cost-effective plan. 

Dangerous sulfur dioxide emissions from the Northeastern power plant near Oologah will be 

reduced by more than half in 2016 and fully eliminaterl by 2026. 

Oklahomans' health will benefit from cumulative reductions in carbon dioxide, the primary 

cause of climate disruption, and sulfur dioxide, mercury, nitrogen oxides and other toxins. 

To address the visibility impairment at the Wichita Mountains Class I area, under the First 

Amended Regional Haze Agreement, AEP-PSO will develop a monitoring program to test 

operating profiles to determine if sulphur dioxide can be successfully removed during normal 

operations. In the event this is not achieved, I am relieved to read tha~: sulphur dioxide 

emissions reductions will be obtained through enforceable emission limits or control 

equipment requirements if necessary to realize the visibility benefits estimated in regional 

haze modeling. 

Coal-fired energy generation is poisoning our water and air, wrecking our health and 

shortening lives in Oklahoma. The proposed SIP revision for the AEP-PSO Northeastern 

Units 3 and 4 avoids the risks of expensive investments in outdated technology. It allows 

AEP-PSO flexibility in transitioning to cleaner energy ' )Urces over a reasonab!e period of 

time. And it enables Oklahoma to comply with federa! regulatory safeguards while ensuring a 

that we will have cleaner·energy future

RE: Comments of Quality of Service Coalition 

(QOSC) on Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality's (ODEQ) Proposed 

Regional Haze SIP Revision 

Dear Ms. Bradley: 

Quality of Service Coalition (QOSC) is an unincorporated association of Oklahoma 

consumers who primarily receive electric service from Public Service Company of 

Oklahoma (PSO). The majority of members are located in Northeastern Oklahoma but 

include members living and working in other areas of Oklahoma served by PSO. Our 

membership includes realtors, home and commercial builders. trade associations, cities 

and towns where PSO provides electricity, local banks, businesses and individuals. Our 

organization is concerned with service quality, the impact of rates on attraction and 

retention of new and existing businesses and the continued growth of our state. 

QOSC is opposed to ODEQ's Proposed Regional Haze SIP Revision and is submitting 

the following comments to support that position. QOSC strongly suggests that the 

proposal does not conform to Federal and State statutory and regulatory requirements 

related to Regional Haze and thus should be rejected as a reasonable approach to 

implement control technologies to achieve those goals and objectives. 

This proposal attempts to amend a previous Oklahoma State Implementation Plan filed 

by ODEQ in February, 2010, which proposed BART for six generating facilities in 

Oklahoma. Four of those generating facilities, Sooner 1 and 2 and Muskogee 4 and 5 

are owned and operated by Oklahoma Gas and Electric, a public utility doing business 
in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The other two generating facilities, Northeast 3 and 4, are 

owned and operated by Public Service Company of Oklahoma, an affiliate of American 

Electric Power, which owns electric public utilities operating in Oklahoma, Texas, 

Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. 

It is important to point out that the February 2, 2010 ODEQ Regional Haze 

Implementation Plan Revision filing used "incomplete visibility data for 2001, completed 

data for 2002-2004 and provisional data for 2005 and 2006. Baseline conditions 

represent the average of 2002-2004. (See page 16, ODEQ Regional Haze 

Implementation Plan Revision, February 2, 201 0) In addition, ODEQ bases it long-term 

strategy on "an identified baseline emissions inventory, Base G of the CENRAP 

inventory for 2002. (Page 37, ODEQ Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision, 

February 2, 201 0) 

ODEQ is required to consider and address the anticipated net effect on visibility 

resulting from changes projected in point, area, and mobile source emissions by 2018. 

As explained on Page 91 of the Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision, February 

2, 2010, the changes anticipated to occur will result from population growth, land 

management evolution, air pollution control, and development of industry, energy and 

natural resources. There is no indication in the most recently filed [Proposed] Regional 

Haze Implementation Plan Revision, March 20, 2013, that ODEQ used modeling date 

that contains updated emissions inventory data. To establish emissions in 2018 from 

the 2002 inventory, ODEQ, using CENRAP modeling expertise, developed an estimated 

inventory for 2018. QOSC respectfully suggests that the use of data that is outdated is 

inappropriate, requires additional data be supplied and would suggest that more current 

emissions inventory data be used in modeling of regional haze in 2018. The use of new 

data inserted in the CENRAP model and the results of new modeling information will 

provide ODEQ and EPA information required by regional haze statutes and rules. 

Only recently EPA noted that Arizona Department of Environmental Quality failed to 

provide the most recent emissions inventory available as required by the Regional Haze 

Rule in 40 CFR 51.308(d)(4)(v), in addressing it updated Regional Haze submission. 

Arizona subsequently provided the 2008 emissions inventory, ODEQ should also be, 

required to provide the most recent emissions inventory available to use in creating an 

estimated inventory for 2018. An updated emissions inventory is essential to the overall 

determination of BART- eligible sources in Oklahoma and to the determination of 

sources required to install BART. 

The Settlement Agreement incorporated in this Proposal adopts a retrofit and retirement 

scheme to address future S02 emissions from PSO's Northeast 3 and 4 generating 

facilities. The proposal calls for installation of dry sorbent infection (OS I) and activated 

carbon injection on one unit (presumably Northeast 3) by 2016 to continue to operate 

that unit until 2026 and the retirement of the other unit (Presumably Northeast 4) in 

2016. 
Again, the [Proposed] Regional Haze Implementation Plan Revision filed on March 20, 

2013, is inconsistent with the February 2, 2010, Regional Haze Implementation Plan 

Revision. On page 111, D. Factors for Consideration (1 ). Source Retirement and 

Replacement Schedules, ODEQ opined that it considered source retirement and 

replacement schedules developing its long-term strategy of emissions reductions. 

ODEQ concluded that it "cannot reliably predict the retirement or replacement of 

sources and consequently does not rely on source retirement to achieve any 

reasonable progress goal. Nothing in the [Proposed] Regional Haze Implementation 

Plan Revision provides the rationale or reasoning for ODEQ's new position on 

retirement or replacement of sources. Even more interesting is the lack of any 

information in the March 20, 2013 document addressing replacement of retired 

generating facilities in 2016 or 2026. 

Reasonable progress goals require ODEQ to consider 5 factors in determining a 

reasonable progress goal. 42 U.S. C. Section 7491 (g) (1) provides the five factors that 

must be considered in determining a reasonable progress goal: 

1. Cost of compliance, 

2. Time necessary for compliance, 

3. Energy effects of compliance, 

4. Non-air quality environmental effects of compliance, and 

5. Remaining useful life of existing sources 

QOSC suggests that factor number 3, if considered at all, did not factor into its 

consideration the requirement for replacement energy and capacity as existing units are 

retired. Northeast 3 and 4 currently provides a significant percentage of all energy for 

PSO customers generated by its own facilities. One reason for this is the low fuel cost 

associated with operation of those facilities. Replacement energy will almost certainly 

be supplied by more expensive natural gas generating facilities, probably from 

Oklahoma Independent Power plants located near Tulsa. The need for replacement 

energy is quantifiable, the estimated cost of that replacement energy is quantifiable, and 

those issues will certainly impact the total cost of compliance. 

NERC and SPP standards as well as state regulations require every public utility to be 

able to meet the needs of its customers PSO provides electric service to more than 

535,000 customers in Oklahoma and having the necessary capacity and energy to meet 

their needs is essential. Northeast 3 and 4 play a significant role in supplying PSO's 

customers electricity. Even the Settlement Agreement in this case signed by ODEQ, 

EPA, PSO and the Sierra Club (paragraph 14) recognizes that PSO must comply with 

all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Replacement energy for 

the 490 MW unit retired in 2016 must be immediately available upon retirement and the 

amount of replacement energy and costs associated with that replacement energy are 

readily quantifiable. Replacement energy for the 490 MW unit in 2026 is also 

quantifiable. These costs are necessary costs of compliance and without their inclusion 

in the review process, ODEQ cannot properly determine if the scheme of retirement 

suggested in the Settlement Agreement is acceptable. 
Other commenter submissions address a number of additional issues. In particular, 

Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers (OIEC) has provided comments for this 

hearing. QOSC supports those comments and adopts by reference OIEC's written 

comments submitted on May 17, 2013. 

QOSC suggests that the [Proposed] Regional Haze Implementation Plan does not meet 

the statutory or regulatory requirements necessary for approval of this proposal. QOSC 

recommends its rejection. In the best interest of Oklahoma customers of PSO, the state 

of Oklahoma and all Oklahoma citizens, the proposal should be withdrawn by ODEQ.

Re: Proposed Regional Haze SIP Revision 

To Whom it May Concern: 

 I write on behalf of Sierra Club and its 2.1 million members and supporters, 

including more than 3,000 members in Oklahoma, in strong support of the proposed 

Regional Haze SIP Revision.1

 The SIP fully complies with federal requirements to reduce 

regional haze and interstate pollution from the Northeastern coal-fired power plant in 

Oologah, Oklahoma. In addition to protecting scenic views in the region’s most treasured 

parks, the SIP’s requirement to retire one Northeastern unit by 2016, along with retrofits 

and a steady ramp-down of capacity at the other toward retirement in 2026, will have 

enormous public health benefits. It is also a more cost-effective solution than requiring the 

installation of expensive scrubbers on both units. For these reasons, Sierra Club urges the 

Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to promptly approve and finalize 

the SIP. 

I. The SIP Revision Protects Our Parks. 

In order to protect the “intrinsic beauty and historical and archeological treasures” 

at national parks, wilderness areas, and other designated “Class I” areas,” Congress set a 

national goal to reduce human-caused haze pollution and achieve natural visibility 

conditions by 2064.2 The Clean Air Act requires states to design an implementation plan to 

reduce haze from air pollution sources within its borders that cause or contribute to 

visibility impairment – i.e., hazy views – at any protected area located within or beyond 

that state’s boundaries.

cover.

Haze-forming pollution from the Northeastern plant currently impacts visibility in 

four popular scenic areas in the region: Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in 

Oklahoma, Caney Creek Wilderness and Upper Buffalo Wilderness in Arkansas, and

Hercules Glade Wilderness in Missouri. The Wichita Mountains is the oldest managed 

National Widlife Refuge in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife system. It was designated as a forest 

preserve in 1901 and became a NWR in 1903. Scenic mountains and prairies make up the 

refuge’s 59,020-acre landscape.3 In 2011, over 118,000 people visited the refuge for 

enjoyment and recreation.4 Hercules Glades, Caney Creek and Upper Buffalo are also 

valuable units of the national forest system. Hercules Glade includes some of “the most 

scenic and unique country in the Midwest,” while Caney Creek and Upper Buffalo possess 

breathtaking views of the region from ridge tops and steep slopes.5

 Unfortunately, the 

views at these recreational areas are suffering from pollution from the region’s coal-fired 

power plants. Visitors at Caney Creek can experience views up to 81 miles on a clear air 

day, but on hazy days this view is reduced to just 17 miles.6

 If visibility were at natural 

conditions, people would be able to see up to 170 miles into the distance.7

 In Upper Buffalo, 

visitors can see only 18-78 miles into the distance, but under natural visibility conditions 

they would be able to see between 79 and 171 miles.8 

 Current emissions of haze-forming pollution from the Northeastern Units 3 and 4 

amount to approximately 32,000 tons per year sulfur dioxide (SO2) and more than 14,000 

tons per year nitrogen oxides (NOx).9

 To reduce SO2 emissions, the SIP Revision requires 

Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) to retire one unit by April 16, 2016 and retrofit 

the other with Dry Sorbent Injection by the same date.10 PSO must reduce the remaining 

unit’s capacity significantly starting in 2021, and retire the unit no later than December 31, 

2026. The planned replacement power is a combination of cleaner resources: purchased 

power from an existing combined cycle natural gas plant, energy efficiency, and demand 

response programs.11

Implementation of the SIP will drastically reduce both SO2 and NOx emissions by 

2016 and fully eliminate them by 2026. By April 16, 2016, assuming an 85% capacity factor

at the unit that continues operating past that date, emissions will be slashed to 7,111 tons 

per year SO2 and 2,667 tons per year NOx.12 Particulate matter emissions, which also 

contribute to haze and public health problems, will also see a drastic reduction. 

Clearing the haze at these parks will both protect the health of those who recreate 

there and promote local tourism by decreasing the number of days when pollution impairs 

scenic views. DEQ’s BART Determination predicts that the settlement agreement will 

reduce visibility impairment caused by the plant’s SO2 and NOx pollution by approximately 

80% in each of these regions compared with current conditions.13 For example, instead of 

contributing to an average of 1.5 “deciviews”14 of visibility impairment at Wichita 

Mountains, as it does now, after the retirement of one unit and installation of SO2 and NOx 

controls on the remaining unit, it will cause only .295 deciviews of impairment. Likewise, 

the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx ) will result in 76 fewer days each year in which the 

Northeastern plant is contributing to visibility impairement in the Wichita Mountains, 

compared with the baseline, and 95 fewer days of impairment in Caney Creek Wilderness.15

 

The improvements in visibility attributable to the SIP Revision have a tangible 

economic benefit. Sierra Club members and other Americans visit national parks, national 

forests, and wilderness areas to recreate and see amazing views. In doing so, they 

contribute substantially to the American economy. In 2010, activities associated with 

national parks and other Department of Interior lands provided more than 2.2 million jobs, 

which generated $377 billion in economic activity.16 National Wildlife Refuges and other US 

Fish and Wildlife Service land management contributed over $4 billion to the economy and 

supported over 32,000 jobs in 2010.17 According to the Department of Agriculture, national 

forest land recreation visitors spend nearly $13 billion each year in rural communities 

surrounding national forests and wilderness areas.18 This spending results in over $14 

billion to the GDP and supports over 224,000 full and part time jobs.19 As scenic views are 

an important part of the visitor experience at these parks, clearing away human-caused 

haze — allowing for visibility exceeding 170 miles in some areas — will serve to make them 

even more attractive destinations, with the corresponding economic benefit. Visitors to

National Wildlife Refuges, Wilderness Areas, and National Parks consistently rate 

visibility and clear scenic vistas as one of the most important aspects of their experience.20

Compared to EPA’s federal implementation plan (“FIP”), which the SIP Revision will 

replace, the SIP Revision provides more flexibility for PSO to comply with its obligations 

under the Clean Air Act’s haze provisions, but does not compromise public health or 

visibility. The FIP requires PSO to meet an SO2 emission limit of .06 lbs/mmbtu, consistent 

with emissions reductions achievable with Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization units with Spray 

Dry Absorbers, by January 27, 2017 (five years after the rule’s effective date). While 

benefits to visibility as of January 27, 2017 would be slightly greater under the FIP, the 

advantage is temporary. The FIP scenario may have somewhat lower impacts for several 

years, but the SIP Revision better achieves the overall goals of the Regional Haze program 

because emissions from both units will be completely eliminated by 2026.21 Under the FIP 

scenario, both units would be permitted to continue operating and polluting beyond 2026 

and would likely do so until the plants are no longer economical to operate, regardless of 

the health or visibility impacts. By 2026, Northeastern’s contribution to haze in the region’s 

parks will be zero under the SIP Revision whereas under the FIP scenario the plants would 

continue to contribute to more than .2 deciviews of impairment (at much greater cost). 

In fact, the benefits of the SIP Revision for visibility as compared to the FIP are 

likely understated in DEQ’s analysis. DEQ compares emission rates with DSI and NOx 

limits of .15 lb/mmbtu on one unit and the other unit’s retirement as of April 16, 2016 with 

the dry scrubber/SDA and the same NOx limit as of December 31, 2017 pursuant to the 

FIP. See Revised BART Determination, pp. 7-10. This has several implications for the 

analysis. First, DEQ did not evaluate the likely reductions in visibility impairment as the 

second unit ramps down capacity between 2016 and 2026, thereby reducing emissions. As a 

result, it is unclear how long the FIP scenario would hold even its small advantage in terms 

of visibility improvements. Additional modeling taking into account the emissions 

reductions after 2016 would provide further support for the SIP Revision. Another 

advantage of the SIP Revision is that it requires an earlier implementation of lower NOx 

emission limits than in the original SIP or EPA’s FIP. See Revised BART Determination at 

12. As noted by DEQ, “This early implementation schedule reducing emissions by 43% will 

provide previously unanticipated improvements in visibility as well as reductions in local 

formation and interstate transport of ozone.” DEQ did not compare the reductions in 

visibility impairment during the three years from December 31, 2013, when the SIP 

Revision begins to require reductions, to January 2017, when the FIP would have done so. 

Similarly, the SIP Revision deadline for SO2 reductions of April 16, 2016 is 8.5 months 

earlier than the January 2017 FIP deadline, leading to an additional reduction of 26,700 

tons of SO2. DEQ did not take into account these reductions when comparing the visibility 

benefits of the SIP Revision with those of the FIP. 

Overall, the SIP Revision is the less polluting option. DEQ calculates that due to the 

decreased capacity utilization and early shutdown schedule, cumulative SO2 and NOx

emissions from Northeastern Units 3 and 4 will ultimately amount to only 36% of the 

emission that could be emitted under the FIP. See Revised BART Determination at 12. 

This approach is consistent with Congress’s goal of eliminating human-caused haze by 

2064, moving Oklahoma toward that goal more quickly than would the FIP. 

II. The SIP Revision Protects Our Health. 

Pollutants that cause visibility impairment also harm public health. NOx is a 

precursor to ground level ozone, which is associated with respiratory diseases, asthma 

attacks, and decreased lung function. In addition, NOx reacts with ammonia, moisture, 

and other compounds to form particulates that can cause and worsen respiratory diseases, 

aggravate heart disease, and lead to premature death.22

 Similarly, SO2 increases asthma 

symptoms, leads to increased hospital visits, and can form particulates that aggravate 

respiratory and heart diseases and cause premature death.23

 Both these pollutants 

contribute to formation of fine particulate matter (PM). PM can penetrate deep into the 

lungs and cause a host of health problems, such as aggravated asthma, chronic bronchitis, 

and heart attacks.24 By drastically reducing these pollutants and requiring the eventual 

retirement of the Northeastern plant, the SIP Revision will have significant public health 

benefits. 

 The Clean Air Task Force, a not-for-profit advocacy and research organization, 

commissioned a study by Abt Associates to quantify death and other health effects from 

coal-fired power plants’ PM pollution. The study’s conclusions for the Northeastern plant 

are reproduced below. Each number represents the impact on an annual basis.

By dramatically reducing the PM precursors SO2 and NOx, and directly emitted PM, the 

SIP revision will save lives and reduce hospital visits and asthma attacks. 

The Northeastern plant’s NOx emissions, and their contribution to ozone, are 

particularly problematic for the region’s efforts to maintain healthy air quality levels. Tulsa 

has recently struggled with numerous “ozone-alert” days during the summer season. EPA is 

considering revising the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

from 75 ppb down to 60-70 ppb. EPA has stated that it will propose the revision in 2013 and 

issue a final rule in 2014. EPA predicts that if the NAAQS for ozone is revised to 65 ppb, 

the Tulsa metropolitan area will fall out of attainment.25

 A “nonattainment” designation 

could have significant economic impacts as Tulsa is forced to find ways to cut existing 

emissions and limit new emissions-causing development. As DEQ has noted, the NOx 

reductions from the SIP Revision will help address local formation and interstate transport 

of ozone whereas “the FIP scenario provides no further improvement in ozone.” Revised 

BART Determination at 11. 

Northeastern’s SO2 emissions also threaten to cause exceedances of federal air 

quality standards. Sierra Club and EPA Region 6 have both conducted air dispersion 

modeling showing that the plant’s emissions contribute to ambient SO2 levels that exceed 

the 1-hour federal standard.26 The SIP Revision will address this problem by dramatically 

reducing SO2 emissions.27

 

 In addition to SO2, NOx, and PM, Northeastern releases approximately 210 pounds 

of mercury to the environment each year.28 Atmospheric deposition of one gram of mercury 

is enough to contaminate fish in a 20-acre lake.29 The 210 pounds produced by Northeastern 

each year amounts to around 95,000 grams. The SIP Revision will drastically reduce these 

harmful releases by 2016 and fully eliminate them by 2026.

27 Sierra Club’s air dispersion modeling for the Northeastern plant demonstrated that the 

Northeastern plant’s emissions causes ambient air concentrations of SO2 that are significantly 

higher than the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS (259.3 ug/m3, compared with the NAAQS of 196 ug/m3). On 

the assumption that ambient air concentrations correlate to emissions on a roughly linear basis, 

eliminating half of the plant’s hourly SO2 emissions by 2016 should resolve this problem.

 As discussed further below, the Clean Air Act and the regulations governing DEQ’s 

BART determination instruct DEQ to consider the “non air-quality environmental impacts,” 

of emissions of the pollutant in question. 70 Fed. Reg. 39,104, 39,169 (July 6, 2005). “Such 

environmental impacts include solid or hazardous waste generation and discharges of 

polluted water from a control device.” Id. Accordingly, DEQ can properly consider that the 

SIP Revision will ensure that all of the human health and environmental impacts of coal 

combustion will be addressed by 2026, not just selected air emissions. Coal-fired power 

plants produce huge amounts of coal combustion waste, or coal ash. Laden with heavy 

metals and other harmful toxics known to contaminate water supplies, these wastes cause 

injury and death to livestock and wildlife, and threaten human health with birth defects, 

cancer, and organ and neurological damage. The Northeastern plant currently disposes of 

its waste coal ash (more than 200,000 tons of it in 2011) by putting it into an unlined (or 

“clay-lined”) landfill. This natural barrier does not adequately protect against groundwater 

contamination.30 A 2011 review of water samples from groundwater wells contaminated by 

coal ash from the Northeastern plant revealed that levels of chromium, a cancer-causing 

metal, were more than four times higher than the federal drinking water standard.31

 

Wastewater discharge from coal-fired power plants, particularly those with SO2 

scrubbers, also poses major environmental and public health problems. Scrubbers at coalfired power plants have the unfortunate consequences of transferring air pollution to water 

pollution if not properly treated.32 EPA states: “More than 23,000 miles of rivers and 

streams are damaged by steam electric plant discharges, which include arsenic, mercury, 

lead, boron, cadmium, selenium, chromium, nickel, thallium, vanadium, zinc, nitrogen, 

chlorides, bromides, iron, copper and aluminum. For example, each year nearly 65,000 

pounds of lead and 3,000 pounds of mercury are discharged, leading to lowered IQs among 

children exposed to these pollutants via drinking water or by eating fish. Many of these 

toxic pollutants, once in the environment, remain there for years. Additionally, each year 

nearly 80,000 pounds of arsenic is released into surface waters, increasing the risk of 

cancers and other health effects in humans exposed to these pollutants through drinking 

water and by eating fish.”33

By requiring the retirement of one coal-burning unit in 2016 and the other by 2026, 

the SIP Revision will reduce both the production of dangerous coal ash that leaks into 

groundwater supplies and the discharge of pollutants in wastewater. 

III. The SIP Revision Will Conserve Water Resources. 

 The SIP Revision’s impact on the state’s dwindling water resources is also worth 

noting in light of the extreme drought conditions facing Oklahoma, and DEQ’s mandate to 

consider nonair environmental impacts. In response to Sierra Club data requests in 

proceedings before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, PSO has estimated that the 

increase in water consumption at the Northeastern plant if it were to add dry scrubbers to 

both units would be at least 65 times greater than with a retrofit of ACI and DSI at one 

unit pursuant to the SIP Revision.34 Under continued drought, PSO’s daily need for water 

resulting from scrubber retrofits could increase the potential for conflict with other needs in 

the Tulsa area. The Northeastern units currently intake water from the City of Tulsa, and 

the surrounding area includes a variety of farms and ranches. As a result of the SIP 

revision, water currently used by one unit will be released for other uses by 2016, and after 

2026, the units will no longer demand water resources. Sierra Club supports a plan that 

will ease pressure on the state’s water supplies. 

IV. The SIP Revision is Less Costly Than Requiring Scrubbers. 

Due to its agreement to phase out the Northeastern units instead of investing in 

expensive new flue gas desulfurization equipment (scrubbers) at both units, PSO estimates 

that the cost-effectiveness in terms of dollars per ton of SO2 removed is $942/ton for the SIP 

Revision compared with $1,544/ton under the FIP.35 DEQ similarly estimates that the cost 

per ton reduction for DSI is $1,005/ton compared with $1,544/ton for scrubbers. Sierra Club 

has not evaluated the company’s and DEQ’s analysis in detail but agrees that the SIP 

Revision is more cost-effective – and, indeed, less costly overall. 

Because DEQ is charged only with revising the SIP as it pertains to BART for SO2, it 

was appropriate for DEQ to consider the cost of control per removal of a ton of SO2. The 

scope of this cost analysis, focusing on the direct control costs for each type of emissions 

control (DSI or scrubbers) properly follows the mandatory federal guidelines for BART 

Determinations. These guidelines instruct DEQ to “(1) Identify the emissions units being 

controlled, (2) Identify design parameters for emission controls, and (3) Develop cost 

estimates based upon those design parameters.” 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,166. The Guidelines 

further instruct DEQ to consider estimates of capital and annual costs for the “control 

equipment” or the “control technology.” Id. 

 As DEQ complied with the above guidelines (discussed further below), DEQ’s review 

of costs in the BART analysis is complete and legally sufficient. However, because some

would consume approximately 737,000 - 805,000 gallons of water per day for two units). 

35 Id. at 4-4.
9 of 15

interested parties may comment on overall cost of the SIP Revision and its impact on 

electric rates, Sierra Club briefly addresses this issue as well to provide DEQ, and the 

public, with a complete picture. 

The SIP Revision not only permits PSO to avoid the high cost of installing and operating 

scrubbers; by providing for the retirement of a unit in 2016, it also assures that PSO will 

avoid the costs of other upcoming regulations that would require that unit to internalize the 

costs of its air, water, and coal ash pollution and other harm to the environment. Pursuant 

to the SIP Revision, PSO will avoid costs associated with an array of future regulations at 

one or both units, including:36 

 Coal Combustion Residuals. The EPA proposed two alternative rules on June 21, 2010, 

but has not yet finalized either rule. The Northeastern facility’s coal ash landfill has 

only an “in-situ clay liner,” meaning that the landfill currently does not have a synthetic 

liner to protect against toxics that may be leaching into groundwater or surface water 

and causing risks to human health.37 Regardless of how the rule is finalized, it is 

reasonable to expect that to continue operating beyond 2016, Northeastern would have 

to address this issue. To convert its landfill to appropriately handle ash waste could cost 

$30 million or more.38

 Effluent Limitations Guidelines. EPA issued proposed effluent limitations for coal-fired 

power plants in April 2013. The proposed rule would establish new requirements for 

wastewater streams from FGD (scrubbers), fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas mercury 

control, all of which would be present at the Northeastern units if they continued to 

operate. EPA has proposed four options, with varying degrees of control for each waste 

stream, including specific limits for certain pollutants in the FGD waste stream, dryhandling (zero discharge) of fly ash or bottom ash, or both. This rule could pose 

significant costs for the Northeastern units were they to continue to operate, especially 

because scrubbers create enormous amounts of polluted wastewater. 

 Revised NAAQS for Ozone. As noted above, EPA predicts that Tulsa will be out of 

attainment in 2020 if the ozone standard is revised to 65 ppb or lower. Oklahoma would 

need to further reduce regional NOx emissions, which could ultimately require 

installation of expensive Selective Catalytic Reduction units at the Northeastern units. 

DEQ estimated in its original BART determination for Northeastern that the capital 

cost of installing SCR at the Northeastern units would be $290 million, with an annual 

cost of control (including both capital and operational costs) amounting to 

approximately $48 million 39

 One-Hour SO2 Primary NAAQS. As noted above, the one-hour SO2 standard poses 

significant challenges for coal-fired power plants. A study by Burns & McDonnell 

 

36 Although PSO may have to implement changes at the unit that continues to operate until 2026, its 

costs will be lower than if both units continued to operate. 

37 See supra note 30.

Adequacy Impacts of Potential U.S. Environmental Regulations, October 2010, p. 56.

10 of 15

concluded that “both scrubbed and unscrubbed boilers will have difficulty complying 

with the new one-hour SO2 NAAQS during short-term high emissions.”

40 Further 

reducing SO2 emissions, even after installing scrubbers, would require additional 

investments not necessary under the SIP Revision. 

 Cross State Air Pollution Rule. The EPA has a statutory duty to require states to 

address emissions that “contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with 

maintenance by, any other State with respect to [the NAAQS].”41 As the NAAQS get 

tighter, there is greater likelihood that an upwind state will contribute to

nonattainment in a downwind state. As a result, although the 2010 version of CSAPR 

was vacated by the D.C. Circuit, future regulations on interstate air pollution 

implemented to comply with the D.C. Circuit’s opinion could be even stricter. The 

regulations will have to address lower annual standards for fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5), which were finalized in January 2013, as well as updated ozone standards, 

which are expected to be finalized in 2014.42 By agreeing to phase out its coal units, PSO 

likely avoids significant costs of this future rule. 

 Greenhouse Gas New Source Performance Standards for Existing Units. The EPA has 

indicated that it plans to issue rules to address greenhouse gases from existing coalfired power plants. Although EPA has not determined a specific timeline, its statutory 

duty to do so will be triggered when it finalizes its proposed regulations for new units, 

now expected in March 2013. (See Clean Air Act, Section 111(d), which requires EPA to 

prescribe regulations addressing any air pollutant “to which a standard of performance 

under this section would apply if such existing source were a new source”). The costs of 

compliance could be significant. A 2012 study by Synapse Energy Economics reports 

that, in 55 publicly available forecasts of allowance prices by electric utilities, the 

forecasted price for 2030 ranges from $10/ton (2012$) to $80/ton (2012$).43

By transitioning to cleaner alternatives than coal, PSO will avoid these and other future 

regulatory costs, all of which could have been passed on to ratepayers. These cost savings 

are in addition to the millions of dollars saved by installing DSI instead of scrubbers. 

V. The SIP Revision is Consistent with the State Energy Plan. 

Although not directly relevant to DEQ’s statutory obligations, Sierra Club also 

supports the SIP Revision because it is consistent with the State of Oklahoma’s energy

plan. The state energy plan prioritizes the increased use of Oklahoma’s energy resources 

such as wind and natural gas, and protection of public health and the environment.44

Oklahoma is an exporter of both natural gas and wind, but a major importer of coal, 

including the coal burned by the Northeastern units. In 2012, Northeastern imported more 

than 3.6 million tons of coal from mines in Wyoming and other out-of-state mines at a cost 

of more than $75 million.45 Adding scrubbers would have continued those imports, 

requiring rail transport of large amounts of coal. The SIP Revision will instead encourage 

use of Oklahoma resources and the elimination of Northeastern’s coal imports by 2026. 

Transitioning from coal to gas, wind, energy efficiency, and demand response also has 

significant benefits for the overall reliability of the grid. As the amount of wind in 

Oklahoma and the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) rises, fossil generation will need to ramp 

production up and down more frequently, and to shut down for various periods of time 

during high wind production. Switching to natural gas, wind, energy efficiency and demand 

response, result in resources better suited to integrate with variable wind generation, both 

technically (since coal plants generally ramp more slowly than gas plants and often require 

longer periods between starts and stops) and economically (since the large investment in 

scrubbing and other environmental compliance will be partially stranded if coal units are 

often ramped down to accommodate wind energy, while gas plants would avoid their fuel 

costs). 

American Electric Power (AEP), PSO’s parent company, has acknowledged that this 

transition to cleaner, local, more flexible fuel sources will impact its employees currently 

employed in the coal sector. Sierra Club shares the concern that the transition occur in a 

way that is sensitive to the employees and communities affected by plant retirements, not 

least because Sierra Club members also live in these communities. As the largest power 

company in the country, AEP has extraordinary resources to help redeploy its coal sector 

employees, and has committed to doing so.46 Oklahoma will be in need of workers in the 

power sector throughout the state’s transition away from coal. New jobs will be created in 

transmission line construction, wind energy, solar power, and energy efficiency. The 

gradual nature of the PSO plan allows for PSO and the overall state economy to make the 

transition to a power fleet without coal in a way that allows for gradual placements of 

workers into new positions within the power industry. AEP notes that attrition across its 

company may create opportunities; the number of employees may increase at units where 

environmental controls are retrofit; and potential acquisition (purchase or construction) of 

replacement power may create openings. AEP plans to provide a variety of assistance 

programs, from advising its hiring managers when applicants are from impacted facilities

to providing education assistance programs.47 While these issues are not factors that DEQ 

may consider in its BART analysis, Sierra Club believes they are important issues for the 

public to be aware of. 

VI. The SIP Revision Satisfies DEQ’s Legal Obligations Under the Clean Air Act. 

The Clean Air Act charges each state with the initial responsibility for preparing a 

Regional Haze SIP, but grants EPA with oversight authority. This oversight ensures that 

each State’s SIP considers each statutory factor in a way that is rational, supported by the 

evidence, and consistent with nationwide standards. EPA approved the majority of the 

Regional Haze SIP submitted by Oklahoma in 2010, but disapproved of Oklahoma’s 

approach to SO2 BART. Oklahoma’s BART determination did not require any coal-fired 

power plants to actively reduce SO2 emissions, requiring them only to continue using lowsulfur coal. Finding that Oklahoma had not properly evaluated the cost-effectiveness of 

scrubbers according to federal guidelines, EPA issued its own plan for SO2 emissions and 

required that six coal-fired units meet an emissions limit of .06 lbs/mmbtu, either by 

installing dry flue gas desulfurization units or switching to natural gas. 

The SIP Revision is a practical and legally sufficient response to EPA’s disapproval 

of Oklahoma’s BART determinations for sulfur dioxide for the Northeastern units.48 Sierra 

Club agrees with DEQ that, with respect to the Northeastern units, the SIP Revision also 

addresses the state’s obligation to address the visibility impacts of pollution transported to 

other states. The SIP Revision will also contribute to the state’s “reasonable progress 

toward meeting the national goal” of eliminating human-caused visibility impairment by 

2064. 42 U.S.C. § 7491(b)(2). 

In making a BART determination, the Clean Air Act requires states to consider (1) 

the costs of compliance; (2) the energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of 

compliance; (3) any existing pollution control technology in use at the source; (4) the 

remaining useful life of the source; and (5) the degree of improvement in visibility which 

may reasonably be anticipated to result from the use of such technology. 42 U.S.C. § 

7491(g)(2); 40 C.F.R. 51.308(e)(1)(ii). 

Pursuant to the BART regulations issued by EPA, the first step before evaluating 

costs is identifying technically feasible control options. DEQ evaluated two control options: 

installing Dry FGD with Spray Dry Absorber on both units (the FIP scenario) and installing 

DSI on one unit and shutting down the other by 2016 (the settlement scenario). DEQ 

properly took into account one unit’s retirement as part of the control scenario. The statute 

itself instructs states to contemplate “the remaining useful life of the source,” 42 U.S.C. § 

7491(g)(2), and EPA’s BART Guidelines acknowledge that a unit may “agree to shut down” 

prior to the statutory deadline for BART controls. 70 Fed. Reg. 39,104, 39,127 (July 6, 

2005). It is well within DEQ’s discretion, and makes good practical sense, to take into 

account PSO’s enforceable commitment to retire one unit by 2016 in comparing costs. The 

 

47 See AEP, Human Resources for Employees, 

http://www.aep.com/community/PlantRetirements/HumanResourcesProgramsForEmployees.aspx. 

48 Because Oklahoma continues to dispute appropriate BART determination for the four remaining 

units, owned by Oklahoma Gas & Electric, this SIP Revision does not fully displace the FIP. 
13 of 15

BART Guidelines require that if the “date the facility permanently stops operations [. . .] 

affects the BART determination, this date should be assured by a federally- or Stateenforceable restriction preventing further operation.” 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,169. DEQ has 

satisfied this requirement by entering into an “enforceable administrative order” with 

AEP/PSO. Revision at 6 & Appendix III. This order must be incorporated as part of the SIP, 

and enforceable by citizens, the state, and EPA, to assure compliance with the Act. 

The next step is calculating the annual costs for each scenario. Sierra Club did not 

conduct a detailed evaluation of DEQ’s cost assumptions, but supports DEQ’s approach of 

using a methodology consistent with EPA’s Air Pollution Control Cost Manual and EPA’s 

analysis supporting the FIP.49

 

Next, the state must evaluate cost-effectiveness, or the cost per ton of SO2 reduced. 

Unlike many BART analyses, which would compare control technologies on a unit operating 

at the same capacity level for the same period of time, DEQ was faced here with two very 

different scenarios, in that the controlled unit will operate only until 2026 and will steadily 

ramp down capacity starting in 2021. To make an “apples-to-apples” comparison as 

required by the BART regulations, DEQ considered emissions reductions with the DSI 

option as if the controlled unit would consistently operate at 85% capacity through 2026. 

Revised BART Determination at 6-7. Moreover, because the unit will cease operating in 

2026, DEQ was careful to annualize the DSI option’s costs over 10 years instead of 30, as 

for DFGD. Id. at 6. Pursuant to this approach, DEQ concluded that the DSI option, at 

$1005/ton reduced, is more cost-effective that DFGD, at $1,544/ton. Id. at 7. Taking into 

account the capacity reductions, the gap is larger. According to the company’s estimate, 

26,558 tons of SO2 will be removed under the DSI/shutdown scenario through 2026, 

resulting in a cost-effectiveness of $942/ton. Supplemental BART Determination 

Information, Appendix A, at 2. 

EPA also instructs states to evaluate “incremental cost-effectiveness,” or the cost of 

each additional ton removed by the more expensive option that achieves greater 

reductions.50 The incremental cost-effectiveness of the DFGD option is $4,718/ton in the 

first year. Taking into account additional reductions in SO2 as the unit decreases its 

capacity utilization, the incremental cost-effectiveness worsens to $7,794/ton. See 

Supplemental BART Determination Information, Appendix A, at 2-3. As noted in the BART 

regulations, “[o]f course, there may be other differences between these options, such as, 

energy or water use, or non-air environmental effects, which should also be considered in 

selecting a BART technology.” 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,167. 

The state is next instructed evaluate these “other differences,” including whether 

each control option results in energy penalties or benefits. DEQ did not evaluate the 

differences in energy use between the two options in detail, but notes that energy 

consumption will be reduced by half as a result of the shutdown of one unit. DEQ also could 

 

49DSI may have greater than zero landfill costs, contrary to DEQ’s analysis. However, even if landfill 

costs were included, the DSI/shutdown scenario would be more cost-effective than DFGDs. 

50 (Total Annualized Cost for Option 1 – Total Annualized Cost for Option 2)÷ (Annual Emissions for 

Option 1 – Annual Emissions for Option 2). 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,167. 
14 of 15

have considered the greater energy requirements of DFGD technology as compared to DSI 

as a factor supporting its BART selection. 

Next, the state must consider “non-air quality environmental impacts.” This is a 

broad category, including “relative quantities of water used and water pollutants produced 

and discharged as result of the use of each alternative emission control system,” and “where 

possible, . . . the effect on ground water and . . . local surface water quality parameters.” 70 

Fed. Reg. at 39,169. The state may also consider the “quality and quantity of solid waste . . . 

that must be stored and disposed of or recycled;” the “irretrievable commitment of resources 

(for example, use of scarce water resources,” and other adverse environmental impact such 

as hazardous waste discharges. Id. Because the retirement of one unit at Northeastern will 

promptly reduce the plant’s solid waste, water use, and wastewater by half, the proposed 

SIP Revision scenario is the clear winner for these factors. 

In addition, DFGD would use an enormous amount of water in comparison to DSI. 

As discussed above, PSO has estimated that the increase in water consumption at the 

Northeastern plant if it were to add dry scrubbers to both units would be at least 65 times 

greater than with a retrofit of ACI and DSI at one unit pursuant to the SIP Revision.51

Another crucial disadvantage of adding a DFGD at each unit is that it would create a new 

source of highly polluted wastewater at the plant. EPA has recently initiated a rulemaking 

to address, among other issues, the toxic-laden wastewater associated with SO2 scrubbers. 

In light of the many environmental advantages of the proposed SIP Revision compared to 

the FIP – which would perpetuate the burning of coal at both units, and all its associated 

pollution, for years to come – this factor of the BART analysis weighs clearly and heavily in 

favor of the SIP Revision. 

Finally, the state must determine the visibility impacts of its BART determination. 

The deciview improvements are “weighed among the five factors, and [the state is] free to 

determine the weight and signficance to be assigned to each factor.” 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,170. 

Sierra Club has not reviewed the modeling assumptions and protocol in detail but supports 

the approach of following the modeling that EPA conducted in support of the FIP. Revised 

BART Determination at 8. 

DEQ notes that visibility improvements would slightly greater under the FIP in 

2016, but that these improvements would not be “perceptible.” Revised BART 

Determination at 11. Although we agree with DEQ’s overall conclusion that the proposed 

SIP Revision is preferable, and that the differences in visibility improvements are quite 

small, we disagree that DEQ may disregard a .1 deciview improvement. “Failing to consider 

less-than-perceptible contributions to visibility impairment would ignore the CAA’s intent 

to have BART requirements apply to sources that contribute to, as well as cause, such 

impairment.” 70 Fed. Reg. at 39,129. While Sierra Club does not necessarily agree with 

each and every rationale DEQ has relied upon in its analysis, Sierra Club supports the 

proposed SIP Revision because it ultimately will better achieve natural visibility by 2064

(as discussed in Section I above), it complies with the BAR'l' guidelines, and it will provide a

(Ref. Response to SC 3-16.) 

The study referenced in response to SC 3-16 considers the comparative water 

consumption and costs thereof for various sulfur dioxide scrubbing technology options, 

and therefore does not fully respond to Sierra Club’s request. 

a. Please compare the water consumption of (i) the controls that would be installed 

 under the EPA Settlement with (ii) the installation of DFGD at both units (i.e., the 

 FIP), and identify and produce any supporting analysis. 

b. Please compare the operational costs for water consumption if the EPA 

 Settlement is implemented with the operational costs for water consumption if 

 DFGD is installed at both units (i.e., the FIP). 

Response No. 9: 

a. (i) This arrangement consumes approximately 11,250 gallons of water per day. 

 (ii) The DFGD options consume approximately 737,000 - 805,000 gallons of 

 water per day for two unit operation. 

 Please see Sierra Club 5-9, Attachments 1 and 2 for more information. 

b. Using an estimate of $1 per 1,000 gallons and applying to the estimated 

 consumption in (a) above results in the EPA settlement controls costing 

 approximately $11.25 per day and the DFGD options ranging from approximately 

 $737 - $805 per day.

Re: Revision to Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Including Revisions to 

Affected Portions of the Interstate Transport SIP for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and 

1997 PM2.5 NAAQS 

Dear Ms. Bradley: 

On March 22, 2013, the EPA published a proposal in the Federal Register to partially disapprove 

revisions to Oklahoma’s State Implementation Plan to address Regional Haze. Notice of the 

EPA’s decision came immediately following the EPA’s proposal to regulate mercury and air 

toxins and amidst a vast array of pending and forthcoming Clean Air Act rulemakings. The EPA 

finalized its Federal Implementation Plan for Regional Haze on January 27, 2012 and its 

Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) on February 16, 2012. 

Understanding that mitigation options for these rules are inextricably intertwined, the Governor 

encouraged a holistic and reasonable state-based compliance strategy. In her comments filed 

April 13, 2011 with the EPA, she directed Secretary of Environment, Gary Sherrer, Secretary of 

Energy, Michael Ming, and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Executive Director, 

Steve Thompson, to be available for discussions with the EPA to avert a federal piecemeal 

approach in favor of a more consolidated, sensible state-driven approach. It is in this regard that 

the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) worked with state officials to craft an 

Oklahoma solution. 
100 N. Broadway Ave., Suite 1880 · Oklahoma City, OK 73102 · (405) 285-9213 

With months of extensive technical and legal review by the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice, 

PSO, and the State of Oklahoma, the parties ultimately negotiated the settlement agreement that 

forms the basis for this First Amended Regional Haze Agreement. During the course of this 

review, the parties worked diligently to ensure that the agreed upon compliance strategy would 

provide greater regulatory certainty by ensuring compliance with both Regional Haze and 

MATS, and that this could be accomplished by mitigating costs to consumers. Notably this 

course of compliance offers greater flexibility regarding thresholds for emissions reductions, it 

significantly eliminates the risk that substantial capital costs will be passed along to ratepayers if 

investments are made in compliance technologies that are later deemed insufficient for 

addressing future environmental regulations, and it protects Oklahoma’s environment and the 

health of Oklahoma citizens. And this is all made possible with greater reliance on Oklahoma’s 

native resources, which are creating local jobs and supporting local economies. 

Electric utilities subject to Regional Haze, MATS, and the panoply of pending and forthcoming 

environmental regulatory measures are compelled to act if they are to meet established 

compliance deadlines. The settlement agreement offers the “lowest, risk-adjusted reasonable 

cost option for compliance”1and it offers promise for future compliance as well with far lower 

capital risk. Inaction, which would place ratepayers, system reliability, and Oklahoma’s 

environment at risk, simply cannot be an option. 

For these reasons, I submit these comments in support of the DEQs First Amended Regional 

Haze Agreement. Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Revision to Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Including Revisions to 

Affected Portions of the Interstate Transport SIP for the 1997 8-hour Ozone 

and 1997 PMz.s NAAQS 

Dear Ms. Bradley: 

In March of 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its intention to 

partially approve and partially disapprove Oklahoma's State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 

come into compliance for Regional Haze, and to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan 

(FIP). Within days I was asked by Governor Mary Fallin to work with the affected utilities 

to try to develop an Oklahoma-based solution that achieved regulatory compliance, while 

also addressing concerns of the utilities, recognizing the unique nature of their generation 

structure and their customers' needs. 

AEP /PSO contacted my office and expressed an interest in working to develop an 

alternative to the FIP. AEP /PSO wished to work on a plan to achieve compliance with the 

Regional Haze Rule and a number of other air rules that were at various stages of 

development. For over a year my staff and I worked with representatives of AEP /PSO and 

the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality to develop an Oklahoma plan. This 

plan was memorialized as the final settlement agreement that was announced by Governor 

Fallin in April 2012 and formally signed last fall, which called for development of the new 

SIP for AEP jPSO that is being considered today. 

I am pleased to say that the settlement agreement that was reached allowed AEP /PSO the 

ability to chart their own course and identify emission control technologies that work best 

for their plant, rather than installing dry scrubbers as called for in the FIP, while also 

providing regulatory certainty in planning for compliance with future air rules. After 

extensive modeling of the Oklahoma plan we have been able to determine that these 

technologies provide for comparable results and meet all requirements set out in the 

Regional Haze rule.

This Oklahoma-based plan and the resulting SIP were carefully crafted and vetted to be in 

both technical and legal compliance with the Clean Air Act and to serve as the replacement 

for the FIP. This SIP allows for compliance, while also putting AEP /PSO on a path that 

works best for them and their customers. In addition to meeting Regional Haze 

requirements, the settlement agreement also is designed to bring AEP /PSO into compliance 

with the Mercury and Air Toxics Rules and various other air rules. 

Once again, thank you for the opportunity to provide comments, and in closing I want to 

emphasize that I believe that the proposed SIP is in full compliance with both the Clean Air 

Act and the signed settlement agreement and look forward to it being delivered to EPA for 

review.

Please accept these comments on behalf of the State Chamber of Oklahoma in support of Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma's environmental compliance plan in meeting new Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) regulations. The State Chamber of O klahoma represents more than 1,000 businesses and like-minded 

o rganizations and is concerned with continual federal overreach and burdensome regulations that cost 

employers and O klahoma residents additionlll rlollllrs out-of-pocket, limitjng fu nds available for investment in 

the growth of our state. 

The State Chamber of O klahoma supports the state implementation plan (SIP) over the less desirable option 

of an EPA-designed compliance plan. Without the SIP, the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) will 

be forced to comply with a federal implementation plan (FIP), wruch would inevitably come with a greater 

cost to Oklahoma rate payers- businesses and residential customers. 

The proposed SIP allows for transition from a coal-ftred to natural gas plant that will reduce emissions from 

the PSO Northeastern Station in Oologah by 75 percent. The SIP also reduces the cost of the EPA's FIP by 

$651 million. 

T he SIP is necessary to reduce the risk of PSO being exposed to forced compliance with EPA regulations, 

which would not only increase costs to customers hut could also reduce availability in generating capacity. 

T he State Chamber of Oklahoma asks for expedient approval of the SIP to protect the state from potential 

negative economic impacts and help in reduction of emissions.

Public Service Company (PSO) State Implementation Plan (SIP) Hearing 

Oklahoma DEQ Headquarters 

May 20, 2013 

In Oklahoma we are fortunate to have an excellent wind corridor which allows us to 

become a leader in wind energy production. And we have natural gas which can quickly 

ramp up power to back up wind production. It makes no sense for Oklahoma to spend 

63 million dollars a year to import coal when wind is safe, non-polluting, and the wind 

itself is free. When we send our money to Wyoming to buy coal, we import more than 

coal. We import asthma, bronchitis, heart attacks and death. 

I would have carried in in 200 pounds of sugar today to demonstrate the amount of 

mercury being released into Oklahoma's environment every year from the Northeastern 

unit ALONE. But 200 pounds is too great a burden for me to carry. It is also too great a 

burden for Oklahoma's environment to carry. Just one gram of mercury is enough to 

contaminate a 20-acre lake. The mercury threat from burning coal is not hypothetical. 

The fish are already poisoned in many of Oklahoma's lakes. 

The Clean Air Act was signed into law in 1963 to protect us, THE PEOPLE, not to protect 

PSO and other utilities. Some people complain that when PSO is required to comply 

with the Clean Air Act, the cost of doing business responsibly will increase customer 

costs. lr\ its plan to resolve the immediate haze problem by shutting down the 

Northeaster unit PSO estimates customers rates will increase 9.7%. That 9.7% would 

mean less than $12 increase per month for a family like mine. 

Burning coal is largely responsible for global warming. AND global warming is 

responsible for the increases in extreme weather we have seen across Oklahoma and 

the country. My insurance paid $38,000 to replace the roof on my home, room on the 

shop, a garage door and guttering in 2010. We were lucky that (one) we were not hurt 

and (two) that all the damage occurred in one claim. Our friend's damage occurred in 3 

separate storms close together, which resulted in their insurance being cancelled even 

though they had been with the company for many years without claims. 
I called my long-time insurance agent last week. He said that previously a 

"thunderstorm" meant thunder, wind, rain and "maybe pea-size hail". Now he said, 

almost every thunderstorm brings large hail and tornadoes. Yesterday we watched 

television for hours as multiple huge E4 tornadoes, at least one a mile wide, crossed 

Oklahoma. 

I say it's time we stop using coal. It's better to spend a relatively few dollars more for 

wind, natural gas, and solar rather than repeatedly paying thousands of dollars to repair 

damage caused by a world using too much coal. And while the fear and worry for loved 

ones is fresh in your mind from yesterday's storms, remember Hurricane Sandy last fall. 

Sandy cost this nation billions of dollars and lives lost. The increased rates people gripe 

about today are chump change compared to the consequences we're seeing for years of 

harm to the environment. It's time we factor in the financial, medical, and emotional 

consequences of global warming. 

PSO needs to follow-through with the SIP to retire the Northeastern unit by 2016 as 

agreed and ramp up its plans to transition away from coal. It's past time that all utility 

companies embrace clean energy.

proposed SIP revision that presents a BART determination involving the shutdown of one unit, the 

installation of Dry Sorbent Injection (or "DSI") on the second unit, and the incremental decrease in 

capacity utilization leading to the ultimate shutdown of the second unit. 

I would like to briefly address our execution of and results of the two analyses that led to the 

proposed BART determination: (I) estimating the costs of the emissions control and (2) atmospheric 

modeling of both pre-control and post-control emission scenarios to determine visibility impacts in 

the nearby dass I areas, which are the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in south-west 

Oklahoma, the Caney Creek Wilderness Area in south-~t Arkansas, the Upper Buffalo Wilderness 

Area in north-central Arkansas, and the Hercules Glades Wilderness Area in south-central Missouri. 

First, in regards to the modeling analyses, I want to point out four facts. 

I. The modeling methods we used to evaluate the revised BART determination were largely the 

same as those relied upon in the original BART determination. For example, the same 

· CALPUFF processor was used. CALPUFF is the dispersion model used in the multi-step process 

of conducting visibility modeling. Also, the same meteorological dataset was used. To the extent 

· possible, everything related to the modeling analyses was kept consistent with the previously 

reviewed and approved analyses. 

2. The primary change from the original modeling methods to the updated modeling methods 

involved the use of the CALPOST processor. CAL POST is the processor that converts the output 

from CALPUFF into visibility values. Since the original BART determination, EPA developed 

and now requires the use of a newer version ofCALPOST. This newer, EPA-required version 

was used. Additionally, we used the latest EPA and Federal Land Manager guidance in regards 

to both the CALPOST algorithm (or "method") and the background concentrations for parameters 

such as humidity that are fed into CALPOST. 
lf't\wh') ~IN IAJ j?G'JI-covJro) e,w-l~~!IJI'\ rv._.\t$) 

3. The details of all the modeling methods, inputsfand outputs, all of which were based on the latest 

EPA regulation or guidance, were provided to ODEQ in a protocol for review on or about 

September 25, 2012. 

4. EPA's stated threshold for attributing visibility impairment to any single source of emissions is 

0.5 delta deciviews on a daily average 981

h percentile basis. The results of the updated modeling 

show that predicted post-control visibility impacts are less than this threshold for all Class I areas. 

In regards to the cost of controls estimates, I will mention three facts. 

I. The original BART determination and SIP were based on costs developed by PSO's project 

engineers. In the Technical Support Document published with EPA's disapproval of the original 

SIP, EPA presented an alternative cost analysis based largely on its Control Cost Manual, a 

guidance document most recently published in January 2002. 

2. In the BART reevaluation, for all cost effectiveness calculations, we strictly used EPA's Control 

Cost Manual in the same way that it was used by EPA in the Technical Support Document. We 

also presented PSO's engineering cost estimates for comparative purposes only, i.e., these were 

not used directly in the BART determination. -rt? rd!e~ cf ~;..,-J, ,.,._..t£..,J. 1

3. The results of the control cost evaluations~w thaP:he scenario presented in the proposed SIP 

revision is the most cost effective scenario that also achieves the necessary visibility 

improvement goal mentioned previously.

Subject: Re: revised SIP 

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Zach Ragbourn

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Gayle Harris

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan.

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Sam Eller

We have the biggest producers of natural gas here in the state and we 

buying our power from someone else? How are we to support Pickens plan 

if we can't be a model ourselves? Other states will reject Nat gas 

power generation. Duke energy has switched and they claim benefits of 

reduced emissions, lower carbon footprint,lessened environmental 

impact, and huge profits. This is one change you can win win

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Ned Nielsen

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

Under the proposed plan, in three years, the plant's yearly emissions 

of sulfur dioxide will be cut by 75% and other pollutants like mercury 

will be reduced drastically. The first coal-burning unit at the 

Northeastern plant will be phased out by April 16, 2016. Between 2021 

and 2026, PSO will significantly reduce the amount of coal burned at 

the unit that is still operating until it is decommissioned no later 

than December 31, 2026. 

This plan will cut dangerous sulfur dioxide and other air pollutants 

they have been putting in our air for decades. Implementing this plan 

will ensure cleaner air in Oklahoma and give a boost to clean energy! 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule.

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely,

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely,

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Henry Roberson

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

Done! We are done with coal as a means of supporting electricity in 

Oklahoma!I support the revised implementation plan that helps the 

Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health 

safeguards and the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Deborah Hanson

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

Large industrial electric customers are opposed to the plan and demand 

emissions controls be added to the plant instead. That costly plan 

would lock us in to several more decades of coal. They are ignoring the 

1,000 asthma attacks and 94 heart attacks each year linked to the 

pollution from Northeastern and the families and communities affected 

by it and the problems associated with the entire lifecylce of coal. 

But our voices can speak louder than the

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Paul Johnson

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Barbara Ellison

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Sondra & Samir Shehab

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

My husband has heart disease and I now have asthma, so this issue is 

VERY important to me!

Karla Hinton

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Linda Gibson

Dear Cheryl Bradley, 

I support the revised implementation plan that helps the Public Service 

Company of Oklahoma (PSO) comply with important health safeguards and 

the regional haze rule. 

The plan paves the way for resolving long-standing public health 

concerns about pollution from PSO's Northeastern Plant. I urge the 

approval and submittal of this revision to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Phasing out the two coal units will ultimately eliminate over 7 million 

tons of carbon dioxide, over 23,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,000 tons 

of nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury associated with the 

plant. This will protect the health of Oklahoma families and 

communities. The timeline for this plan is reasonable and achievable 

and allows for PSO to continue providing reliable power and meet the 

needs of its customers. 

Please promptly finalize the proposed State Implementation Plan. 

Sincerely, 

Gwen Ingram

And please, recognize the potential advantages of renewable energy to 

our state - if we become a leading force in developing renewable 

energy, we will see great economic benefit to our state. Much greater 

than if we resist the change and follow the rest of the country 100 

years from now. There's no time like the present.
