PROCEEDING: Utility Committee AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Works DATE SUBMITTED: 1/9/2013
PREPARED BY: Sharon J. Duca, P.E., Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Request for Alley Abandonment (paper) to 971 and 975 Forest Street
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: City Manager
EXHIBITS: Attachment A – Map
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ N/A
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: The references alley shall be abandoned upon approval by City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Abandonment of the subject alley with conveyance to 971 and 975 Forest Street
currently owned by Faithwork LLC.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City Clerk’s Office received a letter from Mr. Tolano D. Anderson, dated November 21, 2012, requesting
that the unimproved alley located approximately 150 feet north of Forest Street from the intersection of
Carver Road, be abandoned. Mr. Anderson states that the alley condition as well as an inability to safely
utilize the space creates a significant hardship. Mr. Anderson also stated that he owns all real property
abutting the alley and requests that the alley be conveyed to 971 and 975 Forest Street.
Public Works staff has confirmed that the alley is unimproved. No public utility easements will be required.
Records indicate that all abutting parcels are owned by Faithwork LLC. In light of the information provided the
Department of Public Works has no objection to the abandonment of the subject alley and recommends
conveyance of the same to the parcels represented by 971 and 975 Forest Street. Conveyance shall be in
proportions complimentary to the existing lot widths of these parcels.
It should be noted that 983 Forest Street appears to utilize the unimproved alley for access. As this parcel is
also owned by Faithwork LLC, it is recommended that the owner establish cross access easements between
971, 975 and 983 Forest Street at the time of conveyance.

I. Executive Summary
A. Power Supply Summary:
Overall Power Supply costs were $630,604 under budget due to lower PJM fees for RT
Energy.
Dover’s budgeted cost for all power supply (capacity AND energy) was $91.98/MWh.
The actual cost of all power supply (capacity AND energy) was $84.68/MWh.
The cost of energy alone was $58.22/MWh, versus a budgeted energy cost of $67.85.
The primary driver in the difference was the cost of unhedged energy. The city budgeted
unhedged energy and PJM charges at $78/MWh. The actual cost of unhedged energy and
PJM charges was $34/MWh – this decrease was due to lower PJM costs in the real time.
Dover’s hedge purchases totaled 46,450MWh, which was 79% of the projected load and
82% of the actual load.
Dover’s power purchases from hedge transactions totaled $2,897,450. Purchases from
PJM (energy and fees) totaled $783,034, with DA Energy purchases totaling $583,266
and Balancing Spot Market Energy totaling a credit of $268,454.
Dover’s total load was 56,736 MWh versus a forecasted load of 59,094 MWh.
Dover’s planned energy purchase from the SunPark solar installation was 1,250MWh.
Dover’s actual energy purchase from the SunPark installation was 1,021 MWh.

On August 21, 2012, the U.S. District Court of Appeals (DCA) in Washington vacated
EPA’s “Transport Rule” (aka Cross State Air Pollution Rule or CSAPR) which would
have become effect on January 1, 2012. Additionally, DCA said EPA must continue
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), CSAPR’s predecessor, pending the
issuance of a valid replacement rule. EPA submitted a petition for an en banc rehearing to
the DCA on October 5, 2012 and is awaiting a ruling on the petition.
Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values as of November 30, 2012, based
on broker bids & offers:
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.

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 has 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 cumulative
balance of unused RGGI allowances held by Dover were 92,712 tons as of the end of
Calendar year 2011, as shown in the table below. During the months of June - October,
2012, Dover’s generating units produced 15,265 tons of CO2 emissions, thus reducing the
amount available in the allowance bank.

2013 allocations have not been added to Dover’s RGGI COATS account. These are listed for the purpose
of showing the last expected allocation of RGGI allowances.

Page 16
The table shows that the “Allocated CO2 Allowances” (column 5) are declining; after 2013,
Dover will no longer receive allocations of RGGI allowances. Actual CO2 emissions
(column 6) have varied from 5,796 tons in 2009 to 32,971 tons in 2010. The Cumulative
Balance (column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in future
years. 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.
RGGI auction and spot prices have remained in the $1.92 - $2.05/ton range. The most
recent RGGI auction occurred on September 5, 2012 and the auction cleared at $1.93/ton.
Based on this auction, the value of Dover’s existing RGGI allowance bank (104,505 tons)
is approximately $201,695 (excluding allocations for 2013 which have not yet been
allocated).
RGGI’s next auction is scheduled for December 5, 2012.
RGGI is currently conducting a program review pursuant to the original RGGI
memorandum of understanding between participating states. As a result of these
activities, coupled with declining allocations, TEA believes that there is a reasonable
expectation that RGGI market prices could increase over the next few years.
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.
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. The output has been recorded on PJM’s Generation Attribute Tracking System
(GATS), resulting in a balance of 43 Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECS).
Additionally, Dover 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 September, 2012, Dover has accumulated a total of 3,566 SRECS from this
contract. These SRECS have also been recorded in Dover’s GATS account.
Given the current SREC market structure, combined with the impact of the Sun Park and
other facilities coming on-line in 2011, Dover’s ability to remarket excess SRECs
presents unique challenges. Market price for Delaware SRECs from the September 2012
8
Page 17
auction was $40/MWh, resulting in a market value of $144,360 for Dover’s 3,609
SRECs.
It should be noted, however, that the nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is
Pennsylvania which has market price mid-point of $20, half of the price from the most
recent Delaware auction price.
TEA is recommending that Dover retain these allowances for compliance with its
Renewable Portfolio Standard which we understand 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.
D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of October, there were no reportable or lost time accidents or injuries.
The facility has now gone 748 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 748
consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero Environmental
Notices of Violations issued. There were no Near Miss incidents. All Units were in
Planned outages during the month.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of October were $386,058. The actual expenses are $28,959 or 8.11% over the
approved budget of $357,099. The principal reasons for the unfavorable variance were
due to higher electric, water and chemical usage, contractual services, and home office
support needed due to the Admin Manager vacancy.

E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM have risen slightly since last month resulting in a higher
blended cost.
The current projected cost of service is below:
Power Year Hedge Ratio Blended Cost

2.1 Variance analysis:
The City of Dover Finance Department has closed the books for the month of October. The
expenses for October are $386,058 against a budgeted amount of $357,099 for an unfavorable
variance of $28,959 or ≈ 8.11%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $8,783 was to due to having
vacant positions and lower overtime costs due to lack of unit operation in October due to the
units being in outage.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- An unfavorable monthly variance of $18,872
was due to higher than budgeted Water-Sewer and Water Treatment Chemicals expenses caused
by higher than budgeted unit operations in September.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $18,870 was due to
higher Electricity, Contractual Services, and Home Office Labor expenses than budgeted.
Expenses in Contractual Services increased due to a reclassification of expenses for the Unit #3
DCS Computer and Software annual maintenance agreement. These costs were originally
included in CIP EG1204. Home Office Labor costs were higher than budgeted due primarily to
increased corporate HR support of the vacant positions and corporate safety support to conduct an
onsite audit of the plant’s safety programs.
The budget is currently forecasted to finish this fiscal year at $5,899,313 expensed versus a
budget of $5,914,900 thereby realizing a 99.57% expenditure rate.

Notable activities during the month include:
1) The NAES Mechanical and IC&E staff started outage related work activities that
will aid in critical unit equipment to safe and reliable condition also maintaining
unit availability in the most cost effective manner. All work performed in
accordance with safe work practices and without impact to the environment.
2) XL Insurance Boiler Inspector, Mr. Charles Newman, was on site to inspect all
three units at McKee Run Generating Station. There were no issues to report
concerning Units 2 and 3. One minor concern occurred with Unit 1 regarding a
small amount of surface rust found in the steam drum. Plant staff is taking
proactive measures to eliminate this occurrence in the future by making slight
improvements to the unit’s layup procedure.
3) Siemens Engineering Represetative, Mr. Dave Doneti, was onsite to assist with
correcting the problem on the Unit 2 overspeed trip mechanism. In the discovery
portion of the job, it was determined that the overspeed pin would not hit the trip
arm. Siemens Engineering recommended milling down the flange face of the
overspeed trip mechanism housing to achieve the proper clearance for the trip
22
Page 31
arm. Machine work was completed at an offsite vendor shop and the overspeed
trip mechanism was reassembled and tested for proper operation. Testing could be
achieved with the unit not running and was found to be in correct working order.
Start up of the unit and final testing of the overspeed trip will be completed when
the unit is available for start up after all outage work has been completed.
Maintenance staff investigated mechanical concerns with 3B FD fan inboard
bearing overheating. Staff disassembled the coupling and bearing to inspect the
condition of both. This inspection revealed that the bearing and the coupling had
excessive wear. A new bearing was requisitioned from the warehouse and is being
installed, in accordance with the manufacture specification. Local manufactures
representative has been contacted and is working on getting the price, along with
availability of the new coupling. New coupling has been placed on order and will
be installed when received.

6.0 General Plant Information
With the passing of Mr. Phil Kosek in September, the plant is actively recruiting to fill
his vacant position as the Administrative Manager for the plant. In this effort, NAES
Corporate staff has been supplying substantial support in both helping to fill the vacant
position but also to perform and provide direction with the completion of many of the
tasks that Mr. Kosek had performed at the plant.
The plant has brought on Patricia Braun as a temporary Administrative Assistant to help
with administrative functions.
Brian Hoyt, Compliance Specialist, assumed the duties of maintaining the Safety
Program. His title was changed to Compliance Manager at this time as well.
Training:
Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by the
entire staff. The monthly safety topic was on “Winter Slip Protection” which provided
important information on how to avoid injuries that typically might occur during the
wintery season.
