ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
ICF
Resources
prepared
the
Integrated
Planning
Model
(
IPM)
runs
and
analysis
for
this
study
of
the
air
emissions
of
the
electric
power
industry.
John
Blaney
was
ICF's
project
manager
 
managing
the
development
of
the
special
modeling
framework
that
the
Agency
used
to
conduct
this
study
and
preparation
of
the
modeling
runs.
Bishal
Thapa
managed
the
day­
to­
day
modeling
analysis
and
developed
the
pollution
control
cost
and
performance
modeling
inputs
for
the
power
plant
retrofit
options
for
controlling
emissions
of
SO2,
NOX,
mercury,
and
carbon.
Boddu
Venkatesh
served
as
senior
advisor
on
the
design
of
the
modeling
analysis.
Kiet
Quach
designed
the
retrofit
structure
used
in
the
model
as
well
as
the
front­
end
pre­
processing
tool
used
to
integrate
all
of
the
model
inputs.
Kamala
Jayaraman
and
Bishal
Thapa
conducted
the
mercury
content
of
coal
clustering
analysis.
Adam
Kreczko
modified
IPM
to
use
the
cluster
analysis
results
for
forecasting
mercury
emissions
from
coal­
fired
electric
generating
units.
Mei
Mei
Lim
assisted
with
analyzing
model
results,
and
she
along
with
Becky
Braddock
assisted
with
report
preparation.

EPA's
Office
of
Research
and
Development
updated
the
mercury
control
cost
and
removal
functions
that
EPA
uses
in
IPM
for
this
analysis.
Ravi
Srivastava,
Charles
Sedman,
and
James
Kilgroe
conducted
this
work
for
ORD.

Several
people
in
EPA's
Office
of
Air
and
Radiation
were
important
to
the
preparation
of
the
report.
Ellen
Brown
was
instrumental
in
developing
this
study's
design,
reviewing
the
results,
and
working
on
the
presentation
of
material
in
the
study.
William
Maxwell,
Richard
Vetter,
Brian
McLean,
Peter
Trsirigotis,
and
Mary
Jo
Kroweski
provided
input
to
the
design
of
the
study
and
critical
review
of
the
results.
Skip
Laitner
helped
prepare
the
carbon
reduction
options
analysis
that
appears
in
the
report.
The
project
was
managed
by
Sam
Napolitano.
