BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is planning on constructing a new bypass road from the Rodney
Village Subdivision to the intersection of Saulsbury Road and North Street known as the West Dover Connector. DelDOT
reached out to the City of Dover (City) to find out if any utilities required relocation during the construction of this road
which is slated to begin construction around August of 2014. City staff investigated the sanitary sewer mains within the
scope of the project. After performing video surveys, it was determined that root growth entering the mains has
severely decreased the structural integrity of the infrastructure therefore meriting replacement of the utility in the
project area. Additionally, the water main within Rodney Village is only six-inches (6”) in diameter. Currently, an eight-
inch (8”) water main is the minimum size permitted. The City approached DelDOT with our utility concerns, stating that
we would not want to risk having a utility failure under a newly constructed State owned road. It was recommended by
DelDOT that the City perform this work prior to the road construction entering this area. The City reached out to one of
our approved consulting engineers (URS Corporation) to create a proposal for the engineering design aspects of the
water and wastewater upgrades.
This project was not budgeted for in the current Capital Investment Program (CIP). The City feels it is in the best interest
of all stakeholders that the necessary construction upgrades start early in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015. In order to meet this
timeline, Engineering services mus be finalized in FY 2014 in an effort to bid the project and provide the contractor a
notice to proceed as soon as possible in FY 2015. The construction aspect of this project would be budgeted for within
the FY15-FY19 CIP in both the water and sewer funds.
The current proposal for work is $44,100 to be funded as indicated in the above Funding Source section of the Action
Form.

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $33,200 AMOUNT BUDGETED: n/a
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): To be paid from transfer of funds to operating budget from
salary savings due to current Civil Engineer vacancies. Budget amendment will be submitted to Finance upon
approval. Total amendment for this project & Misc. Stormwater projects - $76,350.
TIME TABLE: Preliminary work has begun due to time constraints.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept the proposal from URS Corporation to perform engineering design work
necessary for the Water Main Realignment in Denneys Road in the amount of $33,200.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is in the final stages of design to replace the existing bridge on
Denneys Road, adjacent to the Delaware Technical and Community College. Every DelDOT bridge replacement project is
required to reach out to facility owners to assure that the new design will not interfere with any other infrastructure.
The proposed bridge design depicts the bridge wing walls being constructed within ten feet (10’) of the existing City of
Dover (City) water main. This water main was installed via directional drilling under the existing stream. The water main
must be relocated to meet the requirements of the Water / Wastewater Handbook, which states that no structure shall
be installed within ten (10) horizontal feet from a water main.
Due to the current engineering staffing levels of the Department of Public Works as well as DelDOT’s proposed timeline
for the bridge rebuild, construction in Spring of 2014, the City reached out to one of our approved consulting engineers
(URS Corporation) to provide a proposal to design the water main realignment. DelDOT will reimburse the City for all
engineering and construction costs associated with the water main realignment.
Staff requests that Council accept the proposal from URS to create construction drawings and specifications to bid this
project out to a contractor to perform the water main realignment. The estimated construction phase of this project
will be brought to Committee up completion of the estimated cost.

TIME TABLE: Notice to proceed to be issued following Council approval. All three (3) projects to be
completed within nine (9) weeks of notice to proceed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept the three (3) proposals from URS Corporation to perform engineering
design work necessary for flooding issues at Buttner Place, Susan Place and Lakeview Drive in the amount of
$9,450, $9,300 and $24,400 respectively ($43,200 total).
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Within the last six (6) months, the City of Dover (City) Department of Public Works (DPW) has received requests to
address flooding issues at three (3) separate locations. These requests have caused concern for residents, Council
members and Legislators alike. The flooding issues have been active for some time and the areas in question are
affecting the safety of our citizens and impacting property.
Location #1: Buttner Place
The flooding issue on Buttner Place is located approximately seventy-feet (70’) north of the intersection with Walker
Road. Currently, there is a pavement depression along the west side of Buttner Place, adjacent to a vacant commercial
driveway. The pavement depression holds standing water from rainfall and snowmelt. There is a drainage inlet
between the pavement depression and Walker road, however, the location of the inlet is not ideal, as it is not in the low
spot of Buttner Place. When a significant rain event occurs, the spread of the water encompasses the entire
southbound travel lane and encroaches into the northbound travel lane, causing hazardous driving conditions.
Proposal cost for engineering solution, construction drawings and bid specifications for Buttner Place = $9,500
Location #2: Susan Place
The flooding issue on Susan Place, which is within the Persimmon Park Place Development, occurs at and around 113
Susan Place. There are storm sewer inlets along both sides of the road at certain locations however the profile of Susan
Place is extremely flat. There is a significant section that does not have any positive drainage which results in flooding of
Susan Place, damage to property and hazardous driving conditions.
Page 14
Proposal cost for engineering solution, construction drawings and bid specifications for Susan Place = $9,300
Location #3: Lakeview Drive
The flooding issue on Lakeview Drive occurs at 26 Lakeview Drive, adjacent to the Luther Tower complex. Currently,
there are two (2) existing eighteen-inch (18”) x thirty-six (36”) catch basins located adjacent to 26 Lakeview Drive. The
two inlets are shallow and the pipe connecting the two (2) catch basins is a twelve-inch (12”) reinforced concrete pipe.
The current minimum size storm pipe is fifteen-inches (15”). The infrastructure within Lakeview Drive connects to a
private system within the Luther Towers complex, eventually discharging into Silver Lake. When a significant rain event
occurs, flooding occurs on the north end of Lakeview Drive, causing damage to property and hazardous driving
conditions.
Proposal cost for engineering solution, construction drawings and bid specifications for Lakeview Drive = $24,400
Summary
Flooding issues cause significant damage to the environment, infrastructure and property. Additionally, flooding causes
hazardous driving conditions and decreases the ability for emergency service vehicles to access locations. Due to
current staffing levels in the engineering division of the DPW, staff has reached out to one of our approved consulting
engineers to provide solutions to the three (3) flooding issues.
Staff recommends that Council approve the three (3) proposals from URS Corporation to provide engineering solutions
to the flooding issues within the City. Upon receipt of the Engineering solutions we will seek funding for any
improvements through Community Transportation Funds.

TIME TABLE: Secure contractors and materials immediately following Council approval. Construction work to
be complete within six (6) weeks.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize creation of a new Inflow / Infiltration Project to correct the issues in
Kent Avenue.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On October 10, 2013, the City of Dover (City) Department of Public Works (DPW) received a call from a customer on
Kent Avenue claiming a sanitary sewer backup into their building. City staff investigated the claim and found out that a
disconnect between the sanitary sewer main in Kent Avenue and the receiving sanitary sewer interceptor in Division
Street, this disconnect caused sediment to build up and create a blockage in the Kent Avenue sewer main. The City of
Dover secured a contractor to remove the blockage at the main allowing staff to clear the sanitary sewer lateral after
considerable effort. This allowed the customer on Kent Avenue to utilize their sanitary sewer lateral. After additional
research, staff concluded that the storm sewer was connected to the sanitary sewer, which is a violation of Section 110-
231 of the City of Dover Code of Ordinances. The illicit connection represents direct inflow into the sanitary sewer
system. City staff further verified that there is only one customer connected to the sanitary sewer main in Kent Avenue.
After discussing with the property representative, staff provided a plan to alleviate the problems of the customer and
eliminate the illicit stormwater discharge into the sanitary sewer interceptor in Division Street.
The customer in question has multiple buildings on their property. The buildings that were discharging effluent to the
Kent Avenue sanitary sewer main will be rerouted to another sanitary sewer interceptor at the rear of their property,
within a City easement. This will allow the main to be properly abandoned and eliminate the illicit stormwater
connection. Two (2) upstream catch basins will be reconfigured to become infiltration basins as part of the project. The
road will be repaired as conditions dictate.
Staff recommends authorization to create a new Inflow / Infiltration project to correct the issues in Kent Avenue. Part of
the work will be performed by a contractor and part will be performed in house by staff.

SUBJECT: Rate Classification/Tariff Amendment for Churches
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A

EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – Action form from 09/16/2013 & Copies of the tariff sheets
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: Per Council direction
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend no action be taken on amending the current electric rate
tariffs and direct staff to assist the Presbyterian Church with the Green Energy Grant Application to
facilitate energy efficiency within the City’s electric system.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
During the September 23, 2013 Utility Committee meeting, staff was requested to further investigate and
determine the financial impact of an amendment to the tariff language of the “C and C1” classification by
eliminating the words “or have instrument rated metering” from the classification. In addition, the committee
asked who else may be affected by such a change to the tariff language.
This request is related to the discussion about the C5 classification assigned to the Presbyterian Church of
Dover. Their demand profile would allow them to be assigned to the “C and C1” classification if they did not
have an instrument rated meter. Based on a “look back” period of one (1) year, we believe there are as many
as 51 customers who could be reclassified if the above referenced language was removed from the “C an C1”
classification. This was determined based on using an average demand of less than 3,500 kWh/month.
Obviously, electric use is dynamic so the actual number of customer could vary from year to year depending
upon when the calculation is made.
Using these customers, it is estimated that such a change in the tariff language could result in a loss of
revenue related to the demand charge of $128,458.00 for this group of customers. Since electric usage is
dynamic in nature, the City Manager would estimate the loss of revenue between $75,000 and $125,000 per
year based on the information available.
Staff has indicated to the Presbyterian Church that the Green Energy Grant Fund can assist them in making
energy efficiency improvements to their facility such as replacement of the metering infrastructure. Using the
Green Energy Fund to improve the facility would achieve the same goal as amending the tariff. The current
estimate to improve the facility is less than $5,000.
Amending the tariff will have a direct financial impact on our rate structure and could have unanticipated
consequences related to our rates. Staff recommends against any alterations to the tariff unless it were to alter
in the context of a comprehensive rate review that is not scheduled to be considered until future budgets.

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: Per Council direction
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that City Council take no action on this request at this time
and have the issue evaluated during the next rate study conducted for the Electric System.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Staff is in receipt of a request from the Presbyterian Church of Dover to consider a change in tariff language for
the C/C1 (Small Commercial) description. Specifically, their request is to have the wording “or have instrument
rated metering” removed from the C/C1 classification description. For this specific example, the church has
consumption levels below the 3,500 kWh/month limit for the C/C1 designation but their electrical service
metering is of the instrument rated type which prevents them from requesting a classification change from C5
to C/C1. The church is seeking the new classification to avoid the demand charges associated with the C5
classification.
A number of years ago, it appears that certain churches were included in the residential tariff before the
commercial tariffs became customized and more sophisticated. Staff sought input from our power supply
attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts, regarding this subject. Mr. Betts advised staff that many churches have functions in
the evening from 6-10 p.m. which is part of PJM’s 16 hour peak period, in addition to weekends. Typically, the
more active the church, the more likely it is to have a consumption pattern that is similar to commercial users
rather than residential users. Mr. Betts advised against creating a specialized “church” or “houses or places of
worship” tariff. Mr. Betts also indicated that as a general rule for ratemaking, tariffs and rates are based upon
cost causation so similar voltage, demands, and consumption patterns should pay similar rates. Staff believes
there are as many as 24 churches that may be in the same relative situation as the Presbyterian Church of
Dover; therefore, any change to the tariff could alter our revenue projections based on the modeling of the
system.
The City of Dover has spent a considerable amount of money to complete detailed rate classifications and
projections based on the approved tariff language and classifications. Any modifications to the tariffs without
analyzing the potential impact on the rates as well as revenues could degrade the integrity of the current rates.
Obviously, any detailed modeling of the requested tariff modification would require input and analysis from our
rate consultant to insure accuracy and fairness with respect to the financial modeling. Such effort would likely
create costs for the utility. As an alternate solution, the Presbyterian Church could rework their metering
configuration (at a substantial cost) to comply with the current C/C1 tariff language.
Based upon the above information, staff recommends no changes be made to the approved tariffs at this time.
This issue should be revisited during our next rate study to fully analyze the impact of this type of change.

Solar Photovoltaic Systems are one of our most common grant requests for our program. Due to proposed changes in the incentives
offered by the State of Delaware, we are recommending a temporary suspension of applications to the Green Energy Fund Program
for Solar Photovoltaic Systems until the impact of proposed changes can be determined. Suspension of the program will be a
preemptive action to prevent a mass of applications being received due to concerns about the potential changes. Staff with the
assistance of DEMEC will be evaluating the potential impact of the changes and will bring forth recommendations in the future.

B. Generation Summary:
Dover generated 3,610 MWh in the month. Net generation revenue was $631,780 vs. a
budget of $948,293. This delta was mainly due to fuel oil capacity testing and higher
than budgeted O&M costs.

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
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA has appealed this ruling to the
U.S. Supreme Court, and the Court has agreed to review the DCA opinion. A ruling is
not expected before June, 2014.
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.

Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,

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 has elected 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
shows RGGI allowance allocations, deductions and the cumulative balance by year
(column 8).

The table shows that the “Allocated CO2 Allowances” (column 5) are declining. After 2013,
Dover will no longer receive allocations of RGGI allowances. The Cumulative Balance
(column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in future years
(including 2013). Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will be
required to purchase allowances through the periodic RGGI auctions or through over-the-
counter markets. Assuming that Dover does not sell any banked allowances, it will be
able to maintain a positive balance through 2016 – 2025, depending on actual annual
energy production in 2012 and beyond.
On February 7, 2013, RGGI proposed changes to its Model Rule. The proposed changes
have been included in previous monthly reports. With the release of the Updated Model
Rule, the RGGI states now plan to revise their CO2 Budget Trading Programs through
their individual state-specific statutory and regulatory processes. Each RGGI state seeks
to complete their state specific processes such that the proposed changes to the program
would take effect on January 1, 2014. The Delaware Department of Natural Resources
expects to publish a draft rule in the Delaware Register in the near future.
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 auction occurred on September 5, 2013; the auction cleared at
$2.67 which is below the $3.21/ton auction clearing price for the June auction. The next
auction will occur on December 4, 2013.
RGGI futures settlement prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on September
23, 2013 ranged from $2.98 to $3.00/ton, depending on vintage. Based on the average
ICE futures prices, the value of Dover’s existing RGGI allowance bank (112,319
tons) is approximately $302,231.

Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (a 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 A 2013, Dover has accumulated a total of 5,734 SRECS from these renewable energy
resources.
The nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s August
2013 SREC auction cleared separately for 2011, 2012 and 2013 vintage allowances.
Clearing prices and Dover’s SREC market value estimate are shown in the table below.
SREC
SREC Vintage Auction Clearing Price Market Value
Quantity
2011 $4.01 1,190 $ 4,772
2012 $5.01 2,799 14,023
2013 $13.00 1,745 22,685
TOTAL 5,734 $37,490
With the exception discussed below, TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain
these allowances for compliance with its Renewable Portfolio Standard which DEMEC is
working on. Once Dover has an approved RPS in place, it may be required to retire a
portion of its current SREC balance for compliance in the 2012/13 future compliance
year. Any remaining SRECs could be used for the 2013/14 compliance year.
SRECs in both Delaware and Pennsylvania expire without value after 3 years. Dover
currently has 7 2010 Vintage SRECs which may expire in the near future. If Dover is not
able to use these for compliance with its Renewable Portfolio Standard before they
expire, it may not make sense to sell such a small quantity of RECs (market value of
around $30).
This will become more of a concern in 2014 because Dover began accumulating SRECs
from the SunPark in July 2011. TEA stands ready to transfer, retire or sell SRECs upon
receipt of instructions from Dover.

D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of August, there were no reportable or lost time accidents or injuries.
The facility has now gone 1,052 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 1,052
consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero Environmental
Notices of Violations issued and there were two Near Miss incidents. One Near Miss
involved a pinch point incident and the other Near Miss, a leak on the gas piping for Unit
2. There was one opacity deviation experienced on a Unit 2 start-up. In the month of
August, Units 1, 2, and 3 were self-dispatched once and Unit 11 twice to support
Emissions Testing. In addition, Unit 3 was dispatched four times and Unit 11 was
dispatched three times by PJM. Emissions Testing was completed all four units although
minor issues with the recording of fuel flow by the Unit 11 DAHS and the Unit 2 DAHS
are being worked out towards resolution. Unit 11 tripped off line a couple of times during
testing on fuel oil due to high temperature spreads on the exhaust thermocouples, an issue
that will be addressed in the Fall Outage.
Monthly Budget Variance – The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of August were $669,389 against a budgeted amount of $416,412 for an
unfavorable variance of $252,977 or 60.75%. The principal reason for the unfavorable
variance was due to the timing of expenses for the Plant’s General Liability and
Environmental Insurance Premium that was late in being invoiced. Lower than budgeted
water/sewer expenses helped to reduce the unfavorable variance.
E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM are significantly lower than last month. The blended cost
has decreased for all years.
The current projected cost of service is below:
Blended Monthly
Cost Change
Power Year Hedge Ratio ($/MWh) ($/MWh)
2013-14 68% $ 48.98 $ (2.35)
2014-15 41% $ 44.04 $ (2.37)

Variance Analysis:
Power Supply
Dover consumed 6,256 MWh less than what was forecasted for the month.
PJM energy costs were higher than expected and PJM’s fees were higher than
forecast. This was due to higher market prices. Hedged costs were as forecasted.
The result of higher overall costs for more power was a net power supply cost of
$86.57/MWh, $4.60/MWh higher than budget.
For the month, the city realized an favorable variance of $185,422 for power
supply vs. the monthly budget.
Dover Sun Park generated 41 MWh less than forecast.
Generation
Power generation had an unfavorable budget variance of $316,513.
Plant O&M expenses had an unfavorable budget variance of $252,977 for the
month.

through August 31, 2013 without an OSHA Recordable Accident or a Lost Time
reportable accident. There were two Near Miss Incidents during the month. The plant
received no Notice of Violations (NOVs) during the month. The August (July
Discharge) DMR was submitted for the McKee Run site with no NPDES exceedences.
There was one opacity deviation during the month during a Unit 2 operation.
In July, Tom Lilly (DNREC) had conducted his annual compliance audit where he
was supplied documentation supporting plant compliance with applicable regulations
pertaining to the Title V Air Permits. A return site visit occurred in August so that
Mr. Lilly could observe unit operations and to gather real time operating/emissions
data. At this time, Mr. Lilly informed plant staff that he would be retiring in
December of 2013 and that no DNREC replacement had been named as of yet.
Subsequent form the site visit, letters were received from the DNREC stating that the
McKee Run and VanSant Facilities were in compliance with their Title V Operating
Permits.
The Plant Safety training matrix has been updated for 2013 and is being tracked on a
monthly basis for all employees. The training program includes the inclusion of the
General Physics on-line training system as well as plant safety procedures and
policies. Safety Procedures and associated quizzes are currently being updated. As
they are completed, staff will retrain on each one to ensure they understand what
changes have been made, if any, to the programs.
Stack testing was performed on all four generation units in August. Fuel flow
problems were encountered during oil testing on Unit 2 and natural gas testing on
Unit 11 that will potentially require retesting on the particular unit and on that
particular fuel where the problem existed. A bad PLC channel was the cause of the
Unit 2 problem and a bad connection on a wiring terminal was the cause of the
problem on Unit 11.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The City of Dover Finance Department has closed the books for the month of August,
2013. The expenses for August are $669,389 against a budgeted amount of $416,412 for
an unfavorable variance of $252,977 or 60.75%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $4,951 was to due to not
having a full complement of employees although a portion of this savings was offset by
higher than budgeted overtime expenses which included straight time labor, overtime
labor, and labor burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable monthly variance of
$42,986 was due primarily to lower than budgeted water/sewer costs for the month and
the timing of the invoice receipt/payment.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $300,914 was
due primarily to the Plant’s general liability and environmental insurance costs being
expensed in August versus July as originally budgeted. In addition, the invoices for
Electric expenses were not paid this month due to billing cycle which will be reflected in
next month’s billing.
The forecasted expenses for this fiscal year are $5,925,565 expensed versus an approved
budget of $6,015,800 thereby realizing a 99.58 % expenditure rate.

Team Report:
The Operations Team, with Maintenance Team support, satisfactorily completed the PJM
Summer Capacity Tests on all four units. In addition, they supported unit operations for
stack testing and for PJM dispatches. High thermocouple spread was encountered during
testing on oil on Unit 11 that will require further investigation during the upcoming fall
outage into the cause.
The Operations staff has been continuing their work on painting the fuel lines now that
most of the insulation has been removed from the pipeline.
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.

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
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA has appealed this ruling to the
U.S. Supreme Court, and the Court has agreed to review the DCA opinion. A ruling is
not expected before June, 2014.
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.

Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,

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 has elected 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
shows RGGI allowance allocations, deductions and the cumulative balance by year
(column 8).

The table shows that the “Allocated CO2 Allowances” (column 5) are declining. After 2013,
Dover will no longer receive allocations of RGGI allowances. The Cumulative Balance
(column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in future years
(including 2013). Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will be
required to purchase allowances through the periodic RGGI auctions or through over-the-
counter markets. Assuming that Dover does not sell any banked allowances, it will be
able to maintain a positive balance through 2016 – 2025, depending on actual annual
energy production in 2012 and beyond.
On February 7, 2013, RGGI proposed changes to its Model Rule. The proposed changes
have been included in previous monthly reports. With the release of the Updated Model
Rule, the RGGI states now plan to revise their CO2 Budget Trading Programs through
their individual state-specific statutory and regulatory processes. Each RGGI state seeks
to complete their state specific processes such that the proposed changes to the program
would take effect on January 1, 2014. The Delaware Department of Natural Resources
expects to publish a draft rule in the Delaware Register in the near future.
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 auction occurred on September 5, 2013; the auction cleared at
$2.67 which is below the $3.21/ton auction clearing price for the June auction. The next
auction will occur on December 4, 2013.
RGGI futures settlement prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on October
17, 2013 ranged from $2.67 to $2.85/ton, depending settlement month. Based on the
average Intercontinental Exchange prices for December 2013 settlement ($2.70/ton),
the value of Dover’s existing RGGI allowance bank is approximately $300,577.
Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (a 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 August 2013, Dover has accumulated a total of 6,007 SRECS from these renewable
energy resources.
7
Page 73
The nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s September
2013 SREC auction cleared separately for 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintage allowances.
Clearing prices and Dover’s SREC market value estimate are shown in the table below.
SREC
SREC Vintage Auction Clearing Price Market Value
Quantity
2011 $4.01 1,190 $ 4,772
2012 $5.01 2,799 14,023
2013 $9.00 2,018 18,162
TOTAL 6,007 $36,957
With the exception discussed below, TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain
these allowances for compliance with its Renewable Portfolio Standard which DEMEC is
working on. Once Dover has an approved RPS in place, it may be required to retire a
portion of its current SREC balance for compliance in the 2012/13 future compliance
year. Any remaining SRECs could be used for the 2013/14 compliance year.
SRECs in both Delaware and Pennsylvania expire without value after 3 years. Dover
currently has seven (7) 2010 Vintage SRECs which may expire in the near future. If
Dover is not able to use these for compliance with its Renewable Portfolio Standard
before they expire, it may not make sense to sell such a small quantity of RECs (market
value of around $30).
This will become more of a concern in 2014 because Dover began accumulating SRECs
from the SunPark in July 2011. TEA stands ready to transfer, retire or sell SRECs upon
receipt of instructions from Dover.

D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of September, there were no reportable or lost time accidents or
injuries. The facility has now gone 1,082 days without an OSHA recordable accident and
1,082 consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero
Environmental Notices of Violations issued and there were no Near Miss incidents. In
the month of September, Units 1 and 2 were dispatched once, Unit 3 was dispatched 4
times, and Unit 11 twice.
Monthly Budget Variance – The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of September were $362,109 against a budgeted amount of $356,037 for an
unfavorable variance of $6,072 or 1.70%. The principal reason for the unfavorable
variance was due to higher expenses for electricity costs for unit operations not
anticipated.
E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM are little changed from last month.
The current projected cost of service is below:
Blended Monthly
Cost Change
Power Year Hedge Ratio ($/MWh) ($/MWh)
2013-14 73% $ 49.04 $ 0.06

Variance Analysis:
Power Supply
Dover consumed 741 MWh less than what was forecasted for the month.
PJM energy costs were lower than expected as less market purchases were
required. Hedged costs were higher than forecasted due to an additional layering
in of hedges. PJM Fees were well above budget, driven by large reactive services
charges.
The result of higher overall costs for reactive services and solar was a net power
supply cost of $87.47/MWh, $6.27/MWh higher than budget.
For the month, the city realized an unfavorable variance of $336,741 for power
supply vs. the monthly budget.
Dover Sun Park generated 776 MWh more than forecast.
Generation
Power generation had an favorable budget variance of $335,982.
Plant O&M expenses had an unfavorable budget variance of $5,897 for the
month.

During the month of September, there were no restricted work days or lost time accidents.
The facility has now gone two years, eleven months and fourteen days (1,082 days) through
September 30, 2013 without an OSHA Recordable Accident or a Lost Time reportable
accident. There were no Near Miss Incidents or NOVs (Notice of Violations) during the
month. The September (August discharge) DMR was submitted for the McKee Run site with
no NPDES exceedences. There were no opacity deviations during the month. Results of the
August Industrial Wastewater System discharge sample were received indicating high than
anticipated levels of Arsenic. Additional sampling of wastewater streams within the plant
was conducted in September to determine the source of the high Arsenic levels. Currently,
plant staff is in discussions with Kent County to raise the loading level of the Arsenic, to
which they seem amenable to changing.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The expenses for September are $362,109 against a budgeted amount of $356,037 for an
unfavorable variance of $6,072 or 1.70%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $12,484 was due to not
having a full complement of employees (Straight Time Labor), although a portion of this
savings was offset by higher than budgeted overtime expenses. The corresponding Labor
Burden costs were also lower than budgeted for the month of September.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable monthly variance of $232
was due to Building Maintenance costs lower than anticipated which were offset slightly
by the need to purchase water treatment chemicals to support unit operations.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $18,788 was
due to higher Environmental Expenses due to testing of water of samples needed to
support the Industrial Waste Water System operations. In addition, invoicing for the HEP
/ FAC work was received and paid earlier than anticipated as well as higher than
budgeted Electricity costs experienced in order to support unit operations (dispatch
operations and Emissions Testing).
The forecasted expenses for this fiscal year are $5,980,714 expensed versus an approved
budget of $6,015,800 thereby realizing a 99.42 % expenditure rate.

Notable activities during the month include:
The NAES IC&E Staff completed the repairs on 3A & 3B Boiler Feed Pump
Recirculation valve air solenoid. It was determined that the weight of the solenoid
valve and the air pressure regulator cause the air leak on the valve. The staff re-piped
the solenoid valve and the air pressure regulator to prevent the air from recurring.
The NAES I,C/E Staff and STI-CEMS completed the annual audit of the opacity
monitors at the McKee Run and VanSant Generating Stations. All of the opacity
monitors passed the audit with no issues.
A water wall tube leak near the reheat section of the boiler was discovered on Unit 3
on September 5, 2013. To aid in identifying the exact location of the leak, the
Operations and Maintenance staff completed a hydro on the boiler. Apex Pipe was
called in to make the necessary repairs to the boiler which were completed in a timely
manner.
