Subject: Follow-up to meeting on Secondary Lead Facilities 

Attachments: Control device cost information - Quemetco CA.xlsx

Hi Chris and Mike,

 Thank you for meeting with us in December. We really

appreciate the effort you made to travel here to meet with us in person

and share information with us. The information you provided is quite

helpful to us in our evaluation of control technology and practices

employed in the Secondary Lead industry. As a follow-up to that

meeting, we would like to obtain additional data on the cost of some of

the controls you described in the meeting. Specifically we would like

information for:

 The capital cost of the building installed for the battery breaker

 process, as well as the dimensions of the building.

 The capital and annualized cost of the baghouse designed for the

 battery breaker process building and the airflow expected into the

 baghouse.

 Annualized cost of the fugitive emissions practices performed at

 your facility, and any estimate possible of the cost of the

 additional practices above what is currently required by the

 MACT.

Attached is Tab F of the original ICR survey, this may be a convenient

format to use to provide the information.

Please let us know if you have questions.

 Thank you

 Chuck French
