Chuck - 

Here are some initial responses to your questions...

The projected costs for the Battery Wrecker Enclosure project (including related control devices) currently 

stands at $6.577 million with construction scheduled for completion in March. I have attached three 

pictures so you can see the progress that has been made.

The enclosure area is approximately 90' W x 180' L x 54' H (peak roof height).

The baghouse (which we will call Busch Unit J) cost $293,000 with an additional $441,000 for ducting and 

installation. This total cost ($734,000) is included in the total project cost indicated above. Busch Unit J 

has a 100 hp blower, 196 bags and a total cloth area of 4,169 square feet. There is an additional HEPA 

filter section that includes 20 HEPA filters each 2' W x 1' L x 2' H. Design flow rate is 50,000 SCFM.

I will follow up with additional information as I gather it. In the meantime, if you have any questions 

please let me know.

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
