SUBJECT: Tudor Pump Station Acceptance and Dedication
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: N/A
EXHIBITS: Map
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: As Needed AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept/Page in CIP & Budget): The City of Dover will accept this existing pump station without any
financial compensation to the previous owner.
TIMETABLE: The existing pump station will become the responsibility of the City of Dover upon acceptance by City
Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that City Council accept the dedication of the Tudor Pump Station to
allow the City of Dover Department of Public Works to take on all operation and maintenance responsibilities in an
effort to protect and maintain the safety, health and welfare of the public in this area.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Tudor Industrial Park was constructed in the 1990s. Since that time, all applicable City Managers including James
O'Connor, Anthony DePrima and Scott Koenig, were willing to present the associated private wastewater pump station
to City Council for dedication as long as minimum upgrades were made by the owner to meet current City of Dover
requirements. The owner has completed the upgrade requirements to the subject station which provides wastewater
service for multiple buildings within and immediately adjacent to the Tudor Industrial Park. The current station is not
compatible with the City of Dover's Wastewater System Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system which
notifies the City’s 24/7 Systems Operations Center when problems with a station arise. Instead, this pump station has a
beacon light which flashes when there is a problem with the station. If the light is on, anyone from the neighboring
communities can contact the Systems Operations Center and report the situation. This same protocol exists at another
pump station located on Maureen Place in the Wild Meadows development. The estimated value of the pump station is
$43,000.
The City of Dover is not accepting responsibility of the gravity wastewater system internal to the site as that
infrastructure will remain the responsibility of the property owner.

On August 21, 2012, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals (DCA) in
Washington vacated EPA’s Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which would have

Per CAIR, starting in 2009, NOx emissions are governed by a seasonal and annual program.

assumed that pre-CAIR allowances will be retired before CAIR allowances.

become effective on January 1, 2012. The DCA instructed EPA to continue
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA appealed the DCA ruling to the
U.S. Supreme Court, which heard arguments on December 10th, 2013.
On April 29th, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the DCA opinion; however it did
not immediately reinstate CSAPR. It sent the rule back to the DCA for further action
consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion. On June 26th, 2014, EPA requested the
DCA to reinstate CSAPR, with Phase 1 compliance deadlines being changed by 3 years
to 2015 and 2016, and Phase 2 compliance deadlines being changed to 2017. To date, the
DCA has not acted on EPA’s motion to lift the DCA’s stay from 2011.
While Delaware is included in the CAIR footprint, it is not included in the CSAPR
footprint. CAIR allowances cannot be used for CSAPR compliance, so Dover’s CAIR
allowances will become valueless when CSAPR is reinstated. The separate Clean Air
Act acid rain deposition control program will remain in effect, however the CAIR
provisions for SO2 will also disappear for Delaware.
Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,
based on settlement prices on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Pending Federal
Regulations
The State of Delaware is a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
The City of Dover must comply with RGGI by surrendering carbon dioxide (CO2)
allowances pursuant to the State of Delaware’s laws (Title 7, Chapter 60, Sub-Title II-A).
Delaware adopted a combined emissions allowance allocation/auction mechanism for
6
Paj 18
RGGI, in which 40% of CO2 allowances were allocated to sources for 2009, declining by
8% per year so that by 2014, all CO2 allowances are auctioned.
Dover had more than a sufficient number of RGGI allowances allocated to it to cover its
requirements through the first compliance period (calendar years 2009-2011). Any
unused allowances are carried over (“banked”) for subsequent years. The table below
shows RGGI allowance allocations, deductions and the cumulative balance by year
(column 8).

Dover no longer receives allocations of RGGI allowances. The Cumulative Balance
(column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in 2014 and future
years. Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will be required to
purchase RGGI allowances through the auctions or through over-the-counter markets.
Assuming that Dover does not sell any banked allowances and produces 20,000 tons per
year, it should be able to maintain a positive balance through around 2019.
Dover could elect to sell all or a portion of its banked allowances now and re-acquire
allowances at a later date; however TEA is currently of the opinion that Dover will be
better off retaining its banked allowances for use during future compliance years.
The most recent RGGI spot auction occurred on June 4th, 2014; the auction cleared at
$5.02/ton. The next auction will occur on September 3rd, 2014. RGGI futures settlement
prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on August 22, 2014 ranged from $4.90
to $5.28/ton, depending settlement month and vintage. Based on the August 22, 2014
ICE price for the December 2014 strip ($4.95/ton), the estimated market value of
Dover’s existing 101,089 ton RGGI allowance bank is $500,391.

Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (one 5 kW unit at the
Utilities Administration Building and two 5 kW units at the McKee Run generating
station. Dover also receives solar energy produced by the 10 MW Dover Sun Park which
is owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC. In addition to the all of the physical energy
produced by the Sun Park, Dover receives 15% of Sun Park’s SRECS. Through the end
of June 2014, Dover has accumulated a total of 8,159 SRECS from these renewable
energy resources.
While Delaware does periodically hold auctions for SRECs, these auctions are for size
tiers N1 – N3, E1 and E2. The Dover Sun Park is in the N4 tier for very large facilities.
State-wide carve outs for Tier 4 has been fully subscribed, so there is not a market for tier
4 SRECs in Delaware.
The nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is Pennsylvania. Daily settlement prices
from FlettExchange Environmental services (www.flettexchange.com) were used for
2011/12 through 2014/15 vintage allowances. The August 22, 2014 daily settlement

TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain these allowances for compliance with its
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which DEMEC is working on.
On August 6, 2014, DEMEC provided TEA with its calculations of Dover’s SREC and
non-solar REC compliance requirements for June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. TEA has
reviewed DEMEC’s calculations for these compliance requirements and concurs.
Dover’s SREC requirements for June 2013 – May 2014 were 2,941 SRECs. Dover can
either instruct TEA to retire this quantity of SRECs or to transfer them to DEMEC
to retire them. TEA recommends the first option because it only requires a single
step.
Note that Dover’s annual SREC acquisition for the last three years is slightly below the
2013/14 compliance requirements. Additionally, these compliance requirements will
8
Paj 20
increase in future years. Dover will need to determine how it plans to comply with these
increasing SREC requirements in the future before its existing bank of allowances is
depleted.
DEMEC has invoiced Dover for its non-solar RECs for the last compliance period.
Dover is in the process of reviewing a preliminary invoice from DEMEC for its non-solar
REC requirements. Procedures for tracking and retiring Dover’s RECs under the
DEMEC RPS should be developed.
D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of July, there were no restricted work days or lost time accidents. The
facility has now gone 3 years, 9 months and 17 days (1,386 days) through July 2014
without an OSHA Recordable Accident or a Lost Time reportable accident. There were
zero Environmental Notices of Violations issued. DNREC is in the process of re-issuance
of the 5 year McKee Run NPDES permit. DNREC made modifications to the permit by
reducing the sampling parameters for each outfall. Even though DNREC reduced the
sample parameters for each outfall, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DBRC)
developed new criteria for PCB monitoring of industrial sites and has recommended to
DNREC that McKee Run continue to sample for PCB congeners from Outfall 001. In
addition, the facility is to develop and submit a Pollution Minimization Plan (PMP) for
this site.
Monthly Budget Variance – The estimated expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites
for the month of July were $622,716 against a budgeted amount of $782,781 for a
favorable variance of $160,065 or 20.45%. The principal reason for the favorable
variance was the accrual of expenses which overlapped Fiscal Year Budgets.

1.0 Environmental, Health and Safety:
During the month of July, there were no restricted work days or lost time accidents. The facility
has now gone 3 years, 9 months and 17 days (1,386 days) through July 2014 without an OSHA
Recordable Accident or a Lost Time reportable accident. McKee Run conducted a plant-wide
Evacuation/Fire Drill to verify readiness and employee mustering locations. Some modifications
will be made to the current procedure to improve the process.
There was one Near Miss reported in July at McKee Run. A shelf holding a wooden mailbox fell,
nearly striking an Administrative staff employee. The corrective action measure was to move the
wooden mailbox to a countertop in the Administrative Assistant’s office. In the future, a greater
number of Near Miss Incident are expected to be reported so as to heighten awareness on safety
with the hope in reducing accidents in the future.
The plant received no Notice of Violations (NOVs) during the month. The July DMR was
submitted for the McKee Run site with no NPDES exceedences. There was one opacity deviation
from Unit 1 in July. It occurred while a restart of the boiler was underway after the unit had
tripped on low vacuum. A letter was sent to DNREC that notified them of the deviation.
The Semi-Annual Title V Report was submitted for McKee Run and VanSant for the period
between January 1 and June 30, 2014. The VanSant Quarterly Report of Excess Emissions was
submitted to DNREC.
McKee Run had a lab pack performed on various obsolete laboratory chemicals from the plant
Laboratory and other wastes removed from the site. One hazardous waste container and eight
non-hazardous containers were transported off-site with the lab pack under a proper manifest
to an approved disposal facility. Additional training was required as part of the lab pack and a
Site-Specific Hazardous Waste Awareness training module was created and completed for
Operations and Maintenance staff.
During the month of July, there were twenty-four IWW discharges to the Kent County Sewer.
Sampling occurred on July 15, 2014 and laboratory analytical data indicated no exceedences.
The July SIU Report was submitted to Kent County.
DNREC is in the process of re-issuance of the 5 year McKee Run NPDES permit. DNREC made
modifications to the permit by reducing the sampling parameters for each outfall. Even though
DNREC reduced the sample parameters for each outfall, the Delaware River Basin Commission
(DBRC) developed new criteria for PCB monitoring of industrial sites and has recommended to

Corporation as a whole has developed PMP’s for other customers and is evaluating the costs
associated with developing a site specific plan for McKee Run. The NPDES permit went for
public comment on July 30, 2014 and the comment period will end on August 29, 2014. If there
are no comments, EPA has 30 days after August 29, 2014 to review the permit and after that,
the permit will be considered final and a reissuance date is expected around October 1, 2014.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The actual expenses for the month of July are $622,716 against a budgeted amount of $782,781
for a favorable variance of $160,065 or 20.45%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $62,164 was due to having a
week of payroll accrued into the previous month. As a result, this impacted three (3) labor
accounts – straight time, overtime, and labor burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable monthly variance of $14,178 was
due to accrual of July water costs. A portion of the positive variance was offset by expenses to
repair facility roofs and the purchase of water treatment chemicals.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $83,723 due to accrual of
July electricity costs and the timing of the invoice for ABB maintenance contract which was
budgeted for in July but hasn’t been received.
The forecasted expenses for this fiscal year are $6,048,035 expensed versus an approved budget
of $6,096,100 thereby realizing a 99.21% expenditure rate.

Notable activities during the month include:
During the operation of the combustion turbine, it was noted that the diesel motor speed was not
ramping up to rated operating RPMs. NAES Maintenance Staff started to troubleshoot the
problem and with assistance from Carey’s Diesel, it was determined an injector was
malfunctioning. The faulty injector was replaced after which the engine was retested. While the
performance did increase, additional work is needed including a tune up of the engine and
replacement of the other injector. This work is expected to be performed during the fall outage.
The NAES IC&E staff continued investigating the flame scanners and why they were losing
signal during unit operations. It was determined that the flame scanners were cutting out on high
temperature, partly due to heat coming from the plenum area of the stack. TO correct this
problem temporarily, staff installed Vortex chillers on the flame scanners to keep the electronic
cool. Subsequent to this installation, the unit was called to operate and during the unit operation,
the flame scanners did not cut out. Repairs will be needed to correct the heat problem emanating
from plenum area of the stack. This work is in the planning stages.
The NAES IC&E staff and the NAES Operation staff troubleshot “A” bank train in the DI at
McKee Run. “A” bank train was unable to regenerate. It was discovered that two valves on “A”

bank train were bad. New valves were ordered, installed and a regeneration of “A” bank was
successfully completed.

REMAINING ALLOWANCES 13,040 104 207
On August 21, 2012, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals (DCA) in
Washington vacated EPA’s Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which would have
become effective on January 1, 2012. The DCA instructed EPA to continue
1
Per CAIR, starting in 2009, NOx emissions are governed by a seasonal and annual program.
2
Under CAIR, pre-CAIR SO2 allowances are retired at a rate of 2 allowances for each ton emitted. It is
assumed that pre-CAIR allowances will be retired before CAIR allowances.

Paj 47
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA appealed the DCA ruling to the
U.S. Supreme Court, which heard arguments on December 10th, 2013.
On April 29th, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the DCA opinion; however it did
not immediately reinstate CSAPR. It sent the rule back to the DCA for further action
consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion. On June 26th, 2014, EPA requested the
DCA to reinstate CSAPR, with Phase 1 compliance deadlines being changed by 3 years
to 2015 and 2016, and Phase 2 compliance deadlines being changed to 2017. To date, the
DCA has not acted on EPA’s motion to lift the DCA’s stay from 2012.
While Delaware is included in the CAIR footprint, it is not included in the CSAPR
footprint. CAIR allowances cannot be used for CSAPR compliance, so Dover’s CAIR
allowances will become valueless when CSAPR is reinstated. The separate Clean Air
Act acid rain deposition control program will remain in effect, however the CAIR
provisions for SO2 will also disappear for Delaware.
Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,
based on settlement prices on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
The State of Delaware is a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
The City of Dover must comply with RGGI by surrendering carbon dioxide (CO2)
allowances pursuant to the State of Delaware’s laws (Title 7, Chapter 60, Sub-Title II-A).
Delaware adopted a combined emissions allowance allocation/auction mechanism for
RGGI, in which 40% of CO2 allowances were allocated to sources for 2009, declining by
8% per year so that by 2014, all CO2 allowances are auctioned.
Dover had more than a sufficient number of RGGI allowances allocated to it to cover its
requirements through the first compliance period (calendar years 2009-2011). Any
unused allowances are carried over (“banked”) for subsequent years. The table below
6
Paj 48
shows RGGI allowance allocations, deductions and the cumulative balance by year
(column 8).

Dover no longer receives allocations of RGGI allowances (columns 3-5). The
Cumulative Balance (column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances” can be utilized for
generation in 2014 and future years. Note that the 2014 emissions through the end of
August are larger than four out of the last five years.
Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will be required to purchase
RGGI allowances through the auctions or through over-the-counter markets. Assuming
that Dover does not sell any banked allowances and produces 25,000 tons per year, it
should be able to maintain a positive balance through around 2018. Dover should be
incorporating RGGI allowance purchases into its five year financial plan starting in
2018 or earlier.
Dover could elect to sell all or a portion of its banked allowances now and re-acquire
allowances at a later date; however TEA is currently of the opinion that Dover will be
better off retaining its banked allowances for use during future compliance years.
The most recent RGGI spot auction occurred on September 3rd, 2014; the auction cleared
at $4.88/ton. The next auction will occur on December 3rd, 2014. RGGI futures
settlement prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on August 22, 2014 ranged
from $4.93 to $5.32/ton, depending settlement month and vintage. Based on the

Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (one 5 kW unit at the
Utilities Administration Building and two 5 kW units at the McKee Run generating
station. Dover also receives solar energy produced by the 10 MW Dover Sun Park which
is owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC. In addition to the all of the physical energy
produced by the Sun Park, Dover receives 15% of Sun Park’s SRECS. Through the end
of July 2014, Dover has accumulated a total of 8,494 SRECS from these renewable
energy resources.
While Delaware does periodically hold auctions for SRECs, these auctions are for size
tiers N1 – N3, E1 and E2. The Dover Sun Park is in the N4 tier for very large facilities.
State-wide carve outs for Tier 4 has been fully subscribed, so there is not a market for tier
4 SRECs in Delaware.
The nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is Pennsylvania. Daily settlement prices
from FlettExchange Environmental services (www.flettexchange.com) were used for
2011/12 through 2014/15 vintage allowances. The September 19, 2014 daily settlement

TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain these allowances for compliance with its
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which DEMEC is working on.
On August 6, 2014, DEMEC provided TEA with its calculations of Dover’s SREC and
non-solar REC compliance requirements for June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. TEA has
reviewed DEMEC’s calculations for these compliance requirements and concurs.
Dover’s SREC requirements for June 2013 – May 2014 were 2,941 SRECs. During the
August 28th Management Committee meeting, the committee authorized TEA to retire
existing RECs in accordance with the DEMEC Renewable Portfolio Standard
requirements. TEA plans to complete this process before the next MRC meeting. All of
the June 2010 – July 2012 SRECs and 553 of the June 2012 – July 2013 SRECs will be
8
Paj 50
retired. This will reduce the market value by $13,825, resulting in a remaining market
value of $154,030.
Dover’s annual SREC acquisition for the last three years is slightly below the 2013/14
compliance requirements. Compliance requirements will increase in future years. Dover
will need to determine how it plans to comply with these increasing SREC requirements
in the future before its existing bank of allowances is depleted.
DEMEC has invoiced Dover for its non-solar RECs for the last compliance period.
Dover is in the process of reviewing a preliminary invoice from DEMEC for its non-solar
REC requirements. Procedures for tracking and retiring Dover’s RECs under the
DEMEC RPS should be developed.
D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of August there were no reportable or lost time accidents or injuries.
The facility has now gone 1,417 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 1,417
consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were no Environmental
Notices of Violations or exceedances issued. There were three near misses reported.
McKee Run Unit 3 was dispatched 10 times by PJM. On August 27th Unit 3 missed the
1100 start time but was not put on due to a boiler leak. This resulted in a forced outage of
7.667 hours. The leak was repaired and the unit was made available the following day.
Units 1, 2, and VanSant were not dispatched by PJM in August.
Monthly Budget Variance – The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of August were $447,723 against a budgeted amount of $549581 for a
favorable variance of $101,858 or 18.53%. The principal reasons for the favorable
variance were due to having only two (2) payrolls booked in August rather than the three
(3) that were budgeted. Offsetting this favorable variance was an unfavorable variable of
$16,475 in electricity costs due to the additional run hours.
E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM are slightly higher than last month.
The current projected cost of service is below:

1.0 Environmental, Health and Safety:
During the month of August, there were no restricted work days or lost time accidents. The facility
has now gone 3 years, 10 months and 17 days (1,417 days) through August, 2014 without an
OSHA Recordable Accident or a Lost Time reportable accident.
There were three Near Misses reported in August at McKee Run. In the future, a greater number
of Near Miss Incidents are expected to be reported to heighten awareness on reporting safety-
related incidents with the hope in reducing accidents in the future.
The first Near Miss report occurred when an Operator was asked to open a boiler blowdown
valve adjacent to the Neutralization Pit. The insulated boiler blowdown pipeline is located
approximately six feet above grade and runs parallel to the ground surface. The boiler blowdown
valve is located atop of the pipe and the Operator needed a ladder to gain access to the valve.
The Operator selected a four foot ladder to help him gain access to the valve. The Operator
stepped on the ladder and placed his right hand on the insulated pipe for stability before he
donned his work gloves. Upon putting his bare hand on the metal-sheathed pipe run for stability,
he felt the sharp metallic edge from a metal insulation banding strap clip on the back side of the
pipe sheathing. The corrective action measure was to always wear proper PPE before starting a
job.
The second Near Miss occurred while an IC & E Technician descended from the 4th floor west
side exterior stairwell on Unit 3 Boiler. His right hand glove became wedged between the
handrail and the IK-1A platform. Investigation determined that there is insufficient distance
between the handrail and the platform for a person using the handrail while descending the
stairwell. Although no injury was sustained, another person with larger hands could have had
them become wedged in the space, enough to cause injury to their hand or someone not wearing
gloves may have been injured in greater magnitude. Neither the stairwell nor the platform can be
moved to make sufficient room for personnel grabbing the handrail while descending the
stairwell. The corrective action measure was for the Maintenance Department to paint a section
of the handrail 12” above and below the Near Miss location and the platform corner with
fluorescent orange paint to highlight this potential injury location.
The third Near Miss occurred when the Compliance Coordinator entered the compressed gas
cylinder storage area and noticed two carbon dioxide cylinders protruded from their respective
mason block storage bin. The Compliance Coordinator grabbed the first cylinder to move it off
the chain and immediately noticed that it was unstable. The cylinder teetered on the tapered edge
at the interface of the storage bin floor and walkway. Once the security chain was unlatched, the
cylinder slowly fell forward toward his direction. The corrective action measure was to manually
move the two cylinders to another compatible storage bin.
The plant received no Notice of Violations (NOVs) during the month. The August DMR was
submitted for the McKee Run site with no NPDES exceedences. There were no opacity
deviations from Unit 3 in August. It occurred while a restart of the boiler was underway after the
unit had tripped on low vacuum. A letter was sent to DNREC that notified them of the deviation.
DNREC performed a Partial Compliance Audit for the McKee Run and VanSant Generation
Stations as part of the Title V air permit. They conducted a thorough paperwork investigation of
both locations and participated in a facility walk through. They also collected one No. 2 fuel oil
sample from Unit #3 even though Unit #3 was operating on natural gas at the time of the
inspection. In order to finalize the audit, DNREC would like to visually observe VanSant’s
15
Paj 57
combustion turbine run and collect a No. 2 fuel oil sample, regardless if the facility is operating
on fuel oil. We have received verbal confirmation of passing the audit and are waiting on the
written final notice that no issues were identified at McKee Run or VanSant.
The 2nd quarter EDRs were submitted to EPA. A linearity test was completed on August 5, 2014
due to the number of hours the Unit #3 has run in the quarter.
McKee Run received all the return disposal facility manifest copies from the lab pack of various
obsolete laboratory chemicals and other wastes from the site. Since all the wastes were received
successfully at the approved disposal facilities, McKee Run sent a request to DNREC requesting
that McKee Run and VanSant have their waste generation status changed from a Large Quantity
Generator back to a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator.
During the month of August, there were nineteen IWW discharges to the Kent County Sewer.
The monthly sampling occurred on August 11, 2014 and the annual sampling occurred on August
27, 2014. The annual samples were collected in August at the request of Kent County because
annual samples must be collected while a unit is operating. Since McKee Run operates as a
peaking power plant, operating days after Labor Day diminish rapidly. The laboratory analytical
data indicated no exceedences. The August SIU Report was submitted to Kent County.
DNREC is in the process of re-issuance of the 5 year McKee Run NPDES permit. DNREC made
modifications to the permit by reducing the sampling parameters for each outfall. Even though
DNREC reduced the sample parameters for each outfall, the Delaware River Basin Commission
(DBRC) developed new criteria for PCB monitoring of industrial sites and has recommended to
DNREC that McKee Run continue to sample for PCB congeners from Outfall 001. In addition,
the facility is to develop and submit a Pollution Minimization Plan (PMP) for this site. NAES
Corporation as a whole has developed PMP’s for other customers and is evaluating the costs
associated with developing a site specific plan for McKee Run. The NPDES permit went through
the public comment and US EPA comment period. DNREC anticipates the issuances of the new
NPDES by October 2014.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The actual expenses for the month of August are $447,723 against a budgeted amount of
$549,581 for a favorable variance of $101,858 or 18.53%. The variance was due to the
following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $118,823 was due to only having
two (2) payrolls booked in August versus the three (3) that were budgeted. As a result, this
impacted three (3) labor accounts – Straight Time, Overtime, and Labor Burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- An unfavorable monthly variance of $490 was
due to higher than budgeted water costs. A portion of the negative variance was offset by lower
expenses for the purchase of water treatment chemicals.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $16,475 due to higher
than anticipated electricity costs due to increased unit operating hours.
The forecasted expenses for this fiscal year are $6,029,377 expensed versus an approved budget
of $6,141,100 thereby realizing a 98.28% expenditure rate.

Team Report:
Plant employees continue General Physics safety training and environmental courses to
enhance their overall knowledge of permit and safety requirements. As the GPI courses
are being completed the employee reviews the standard operating procedure (SMP) for
the same topic they are training on to review NAES policy and score a minimum 80% on
a quiz before they can complete the SMP.
Operations personnel continue to support maintenance by working on Preventative
Maintenance (PM) work orders and other work orders that they have the skills to
successfully complete the task. The Operations Department continues to utilize the Day
Shift Workers in both the Operations and Maintenance areas to help in maintaining the
plant.

Notable activities during the month include:
The NAES Operations Staff was completing their hourly rounds when they noticed that an air
compressor was leaking oil. The Operation Staff called maintenance to troubleshoot the leak. The
maintenance staff located the leak on the oil filter housing. The filter housing was requisition and
a LOTO completed. The Maintenance Staff changed out the filter housing and the air compressor
was put back into service with minimal down time.
The NAES IC&E staff investigated an issue with the main gas valve tripping on Unit 2 for no
apparent reason before being able to establish main flame in the boiler. The IC&E staff found that
the high pressure gas pressure switch was out of adjustment. They made the necessary adjustment
to the pressure switch and tested the unit. Both pilot and main flames were able to be established
and to be maintained without tripping.
The NAES Maintenance Staff completed an inspection of the fuel oil unloading systems at
McKee Run and VanSant Station for the impending fuel oil deliveries. The staff found three hose
stations that were questionable. They replaced the hose on each station and also replaced several
23
Paj 65
connector gaskets. This inspection ensured that during the deliveries that would be no oil spills
due to equipment malfunction.
After Unit 3 generator had been dispatched by PJM the Operations staff noticed a small water
leak coming out of the bottom of the boiler. The leak was investigated further once boiler
temperatures dropped to allow access inside the boiler. A small pinhole leak was found in the
waterwall tube in the lower portion of the boiler. A certified boiler repair contractor was called to
make the necessary repairs to the boiler. Once the repairs were complete, the boiler was
pressurized to ensure that there were no leaks at the repair site or any other leaks in the boiler.
There were no leaks detected in the boiler during this test. However, later in the month, two
waterwall tube leaks were found on the fifth floor elevation, one of which caused a Forced
Outage on the unit. These two leaks were repaired and unit was made available. The three tubes
will be replaced in the upcoming Fall outage.
