Subject
Mercury/Fly Ash
	
		
		
		Keith, 
		 
		As we have discussed previously, the cement industry has been discussing 
various policy approaches for addressing the mercury/fly ash issue.  After 
much discussion, the industry yesterday agreed on the language below.  
		 
		Please review and call to discuss at your convenience.  
		 
		Regards,
		Andy O’Hare
		 
		The language is as follows:
		“Fly ash from utility boilers that is impacted by the use of activated 
carbon injection for mercury capture will not be used as an alternative 
raw material source in the manufacturing of portland cement clinker if it 
will result in an increase of mercury input to the process, unless the 
plant desiring to use the fly ash is already subject to a mercury standard 
(either an emission or input limitation).”
