Subject: Status Report on Recycling
1. Status of Dover’s Recycling Program.
As of June 30, 2009, Mr. Koenig’s Department has successfully completed the roll out of
recycling containers to subdivisions in Dover. As of August 31, 2009, there are 7,565
containers in the curbside recycling system. For the month of August 2009, 116.68 tons
of materials were picked up in the curbside recycling program. The tracking reports are
attached for your review.
2. Status of Delaware Legislation
I have done a search of the Delaware Legislature website and I did not finding any
pending legislation in the 145th General Assembly. I did find a Joint Resolution passed by
the House, but not the Senate, that requested the Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control, in cooperation with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority and in
conjunction with all interested parties, to enter into discussions leading to a plan with
enabling legislation to be delivered to the Legislature by the first day of session in 2010
and that this plan and legislation must bring the State into compliance with the
Governor’s expressed goal of “Zero Waste” by 2020.
In addition I learned from a DNREC Recycling Program Manager that the DSWA and
DNREC are working on a new Delaware Solid Waste Plan. The person I spoke with did
not know of any recycling legislation plan by the administration, but noted that he did
expect legislation amending and improving the “Bottle Bill”.

3. Status of DSWA contract
The DSWA recycling contract expires in February 2010. The DSWA has expressed a
strong desire to continue serving Dover. However, they did inform us that they will not
unilaterally offer a new contract, and will only offer a contract within the context of a
formal Request for Proposal that is open to all possible contractors. Therefore I have
asked Mr. Koenig to prepare a RFP for recycling services. The goal is to have the RFP
on the streets this fall so that we can make a decision before the end of the year. I have
also asked Mr. Koenig to develop a cost analysis for the City operation of the recycling
service in case we want to consider that option.

Purchased Power Management
Wholesale load for the month of July was 71,704 MWhs versus a three year historic weather
normalized load of 81,189 MWhs. Hedged transactions accounted for 70,640 MWhs or 98% of this
volume (87% of forecasted load) at a cost of $5.9 million. Spot Market purchases resulted in a PJM
charge of $233 thousand ($266 thousand charge in the Day Ahead market and a $33 thousand credit
in the real time market). Other PJM related charges accounted for an additional $1.4 million cost,
inclusive of all load related fees. July All-In Energy Unit Cost, excluding capacity obligations and
credits was $0.66/MWh favorable compared to the budget for July 2009 of $93.76/MWh. For the
year, projected All-In Energy Unit Cost is $99.49/MWh favorable to budget; based on YTD actual 1
month results and 11 months projected costs.
Generation and Asset Management
For the month of July McKee Run and Van Sant units did not dispatch into the PJM market. A
relatively low average on-peak LMPs for the month demonstrated that the PJM system did not
generally require support from the peaking units. The budget for the month expected approximately
3,500 MWhs of generation.
Emissions and Allowance Management
As shown in Exhibit 1, City of Dover holds 2,691 tons of vintage 2008 SO2 allowances and no tons
of vintage 2008 NOx allowances. Additionally, the City has a balance of 549 tons of vintage 2007
SO2 allowances. At the August 21, 2008 Management Committee meeting the Committee set a
trigger price for the SO2 allowances of $260/ton whereby if the City could achieve this price it
would sell half of its SO2 allowances.

Notes:
(1) Revenue calculations account for a $1/ton broker fee for SO2 and a $10/ton broker fee for NOx.
(2) Per the Clean Air Interstate Rule, in 2009, NOx emissions will be governed by a seasonal and annual program.
The NOx seasonal emissions pertain only to emissions (May 1 – Sep 30), similar to the previous trading regimen.
Annual emissions cover the entire year.
(3) The 2009 initial allowance allocation accounts for the reinstatement of CAIR while new SO2 and NOx emissions
rules are completed. These allocations may changes as the rulemaking process continues.
Dover engaged in no allowance transactions during the month of July, and no units dispatched. City
of Dover commenced its new fiscal year and the total net revenue through July 31st from allowance
sales for the 2009-10 fiscal year was $0.
Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the 2007-2009 Dover allowance inventory
is approximately $515 thousand at the time of this report. This represents 5,962 SO2 allowances
trading at $77.50, 51 Seasonal NOx allowances trading at $150, and Annual NOx trading at $650.
Compliance emissions allowance values continue to remain well below the cost of emission
controls, but some hope exists for a return of market value next year.

Operations Management Summary
During the month of July, there were no employee or contractor related OSHA injuries, illnesses,
time loss accidents or near misses. There were zero Environmental Notices of Violations issued
during the month. There were no unit dispatches of any of the McKee Run Units or the VanSant
Unit 11 for PJM.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for the month
of July were $562,248. The expenses were $56,831 or 0.98% over the approved budget of $505,417.
The principal reason for the negative variance is due to insurance costs which were budgeted later in
the year but were paid in July. In addition the insurance costs were also higher than budgeted. This
was offset by lower personnel expenses which are attributable to having the first payroll of the
current year accrued in June.
Risk Management Summary
Power demand in the PJM region has been down substantially during the summer as a result of the
sluggish economy and markedly cool weather. This factor has largely offset the impact of rising oil
prices over the past several months, which have recently traded above $70 per barrel. While the
very recent heat wave increased cooling demand and pushed natural gas and power prompt 12-
month prices slightly higher, longer-term gas and power forward prices continued to drift down.
Overall, On-Peak Dover power prices for FY 2010-11 rose slightly (1.5% or $0.80/MWh) while the
FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14 fell 3.9% ($2.36/MWh) and 5.5% ($3.50/MWh), respectively,
compared with the last reporting period. The reported wholesale Cost-of-Service values in the table
below are reflective of the market movements compared to the prior reporting period:
1
Corrected 2007 SO2 tons emitted to reflect actual emission for Units 3 & 11. December, 2007 report included
emissions for all four units.
2
The NOx Emissions are result from February McKee testing associated with Pollution Remediation project and June
emission testing.

2.2 – VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Power Supply
• The Power Supply Management variance is merely an estimate at this point.
• As discussed during the June, 2009 Management Committee, City of Dover’s approved
budget established in April utilized a preliminary PJM Base Residual Auction values. On
June 2nd 2009, PJM announced final Base Residual Auction for current FY that resulted in
increase of $5.25 per MW.day UCAP charge ($196.57). In addition PJM also discovered
and corrected errors to the variables that calculate the current FY UCAP Obligation.
Collectively these charges will result in unfavorable variances each month.
• The PJM Charges for Load experienced a positive $927 thousand variance due to 12%
reduction in demand that displaced the expected Open Position by the same amount; a $227
thousand favorable Basis variance; and an $191 thousand favorable Load Following
variances for the month. Furthermore there was a $94 thousand favorable variance in
transmission costs and a $45 thousand favorable variance in the PJM ancillary charges for
the month. Offsetting these favorable variances were a $26 thousand unfavorable variance in
transmission rights credits and $77 thousand unfavorable variance in the transmission loss
refund.
• For the month a favorable $926 thousand net variance between the Power Supply (fixed
positions) and PJM Charges Load (Open positions and transmission etc) was realized
through a favorable $849 thousand variance caused by the change in volume and a
unfavorable $78 thousand variance caused by the change in price. Hence, 91% of the
variance can be attributed to the change in the volume.
Generations
• Plant O&M resulted in an unfavorable variance of $56 thousand compared to the approved
budget of $505 thousand due to maintenance expenses associated with the insurance costs
that were paid earlier than the budgeted month.
• Generation Fuel realized a favorable variance of $285 thousand for the month due to no
dispatch for the month.
• PJM Credits resulted in $429 thousand unfavorable variance for the month. The budget
expected 3,500MWhs of generation for the month. Neither McKee Run nor Van Sant units
were dispatched into the PJM market.

• The All In Unit Energy Cost resulted in an favorable $0.66 per MWh variance due to lower
than anticipated open position energy costs due to lower demand compared to historical July
demand; a favorable Basis variance; and favorable Load Following variances for the month.
Furthermore there was a favorable variance in transmission costs and PJM ancillary charges
for the month. Offsetting these favorable variances were unfavorable variance in
transmission rights credits and transmission loss refund.
• The Management Incentive fee variance on a $/MWh basis is merely an estimate at this

Do to the conversion from #6 residual oil to Low sulfur #2 oil the need for a constant supply of
natural gas to heat the #6 fuel is no longer required. Some gas will still be required for winter
heating of the building(s). Pace will still coordinate with NAES on the procurement of supply.
However, this expense will now fall under the plant utility costs and be paid and budgeted for by the
station.

3.3 - EMISSIONS AND ALLOWANCE MANAGEMENT
As shown in Exhibit 1, City of Dover holds 2,691 tons of vintage 2008 SO2 allowances and no tons
of vintage 2008 NOx allowances. Additionally, the City has a balance of 549 tons of vintage 2007
SO2 allowances. At the August 21, 2008 Management Committee meeting the Committee set a
trigger price for the SO2 allowances of $260/ton whereby if the City could achieve this price it
would sell half of its SO2 allowances.

Notes:
(1) Revenue calculations account for a $1/ton broker fee for SO2 and a $10/ton broker fee for NOx.
(2) Per the Clean Air Interstate Rule, in 2009, NOx emissions will be governed by a seasonal and annual program.
The NOx seasonal emissions pertain only to emissions (May 1 – Sep 30), similar to the previous trading regimen.
Annual emissions cover the entire year.
(3) The 2009 initial allowance allocation accounts for the reinstatement of CAIR while new SO2 and NOx emissions
rules are completed. These allocations may changes as the rulemaking process continues.
Dover engaged in no allowance transactions during the month of July, and no units dispatched. City
of Dover commenced its new fiscal year and the total net revenue through July 31st from allowance
sales for the 2009-10 fiscal year was $0.
Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the 2007-2009 Dover allowance inventory
is approximately $515 thousand at the time of this report. This represents 5,962 SO2 allowances
trading at $77.50, 51 Seasonal NOx allowances trading at $150, and Annual NOx trading at $650.

Compliance emissions allowance values continue to remain well below the cost of emission
controls, but some hope exists for a return of market value next year.
SO2
The SO2 allowance market remains supportive of prices in the $60-$80/ton range, with the most
recent closing price at $77.50/ton. SO2 market prices are down for a number of reasons. In the wake
of the initial CAIR rule promulgation, pre-2010 banked SO2 allowance prices spiked anticipating
lower compliance values for allowances issued in 2010 or later. The DC Circuit remanded the
rulemaking back to the EPA with the instruction that lessening the value of SO2 allowances
established under the Clean Air Act was outside the scope of the EPA’s rulemaking authority. Thus,
prior to CAIR re-promulgation, the market generally is seeing less of a premium on banked SO2
allowances.
The slowed economy and lower power production for 2009 appears to be lessoning the demand for
SO2 allowances as total emissions among covered entities will be significantly down compared to
2007 and 2008 (see Table 1). Through the first 6 months of 2007, SO2 emissions were
approximately 4,445,372 tons for covered units. Through the first 6 months of 2008, SO2 emissions
were approximately 3,939,906 tons for covered units. Through the first 6 months of 2009, SO2
emissions are only 2,546,000 – a significant drop from the previous two years. This emissions data,
among other factors, calls into question whether there will be a December true-up spike in SO2
prices, as we have seen in the past. It is possible, that a December drop in prices will result from the
lower emission levels of 2009. However, trades in the $85/ton range for Dec 09 delivery have been
noted. Overall expectations are that SO2 trading volume will continue to be thin with a generally
backwardated forward price curve as market participates await the repromulgation of CAIR. Again
there is a sense among many of the market participants that the pre-2010 banked premium is
unlikely to reappear.
NOx
The steady decline of annual NOx allowance values continued from approximately $1,100/ton down
to $650/ton over the past month. Seasonal NOx allowance value also continued declining, moving
from $250/ton down to $150/ton in thin trading.
NOx prices, both annual and seasonal, are also down for a number of reasons. For starters, many
recent NOx emission control installations (SCR, SNCR, low-NOx burners, etc.) put in place
anticipating CAIR implementation (or a regime at least as strict from EPA’s upcoming new rule) are
reported to be performing better than expected. Annual NOx emission prices have been further
dampened in part due to State allocation of early action allowance pools under CAIR. Additionally,
some states (VA for example) are beginning to redistribute to existing sources a number of annual
NOx allowances set-aside for early action credit or new entrants. Annual prices have been still
further depressed as a result of the EPA Compliance Supplemental Pool, which distributed an
additional 200,000 Annual NOx allowances, which must be used this year, further depressing
expectations of a 2009 true-up price spike.
As with SO2 emissions, NOx emissions are way down this year when compared to 2007 and 2008
emissions data. NOx emissions for covered units for the first 6 months of 2007 and 2008 were
Dover Monthly PGAM Report July 2009 - Final
20
Page 27
approximately 1,712,000 and 1,622,000 tons respectively. NOx emissions for the first 6 months of
2009 were 984,000 tons. A slower economy with lower energy demand, gas prices at recent
historical lows, gas storage at historical highs, and generally lower dispatch of NOx intensive units
has contributed to lower NOx emissions levels for 2009 thus far. The NOx forward price curve is
also backwardated as market participants await CAIR promulgation.

SO2 Nox
SOx and NOx Outlook
Hopes for a return of regulatory certainty in the emissions markets have been flat of recent. Senator
Carper announced intention to introduce a three pollutant bill to add to carbon legislation after the
August Recess. It is safe to say that politically Carpers push currently lacks legs and is not likely to
garner relevant attention in Congress anytime soon. His intended link to carbon legislation may be
broken if an energy bill only track is created in the Senate. Overall, legislative action to affirm CAIR
and / or establish new requirements for SOx, NOx, and Hg is looking unlikely for the near future.
Regarding, CAIR repromulgation EPA indicated that it plans to issue a draft of the new Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR) in early 2010; we expect it sometime in Q2 2010. Regulatory intelligence
currently indicates that emissions trading system will be used similar to CAIR structures.
Overall, the emissions markets are trading very thin and will likely continue to do so till the
uncertainty lifts with market fundamentals clarifying in regulation. In addition to the control
investments and orders made prior to the CAIR vacatur, this recent uncertainty has driven many
Dover Monthly PGAM Report July 2009 - Final
21
Page 28
compliance entities to look towards emission control installations as a firm risk management
mechanism.
Pace continues to closely monitor the NOx and SO2 markets and will provide Dover with
assessments of allowance allocations, liquidity, and value as information becomes available.
RGGI and Federal Carbon Outlook
RGGI market prices are currently floating around $2.95/ton. Maintaining open interest between
$2.75 and $4.00, the RGGI market has seen a lot of movement in its early stages, so no clear long-
term price signals are yet evident. Based on projected generation and emissions Dover is projected to
have an excess of 70,000 allowances through 2013 with a market value at current prices of
$206,500.
The main buoy of RGGI pricing currently is not market fundamentals as the market is expected to
remain over-allocated / long into 2010. Rather, the conversion potential of RGGI allowances into
Federal allowance volume in a national carbon market is the main support for RGGI pricing. While
the reality of RGGI compliance for covered units exists, for many compliance is little more than
“noise in the system” and opportunities to monetize or covert to federal and then monetize RGGI
volume are being hunted. The “coastal” Democratic leadership behind the Waxman / Markey bill
ensured that RGGI allowance conversion would take place – continuing the drive of federal market
speculation into RGGI. Indeed, Waxman / Markey established the ratio for conversion based on the
average RGGI auction clearing price as opposed to the actual “cost of obtaining and holding the
allowance” thereby functionally allowing Dover to lift its cost basis on free allowance allocation up
from zero for federal conversion. Thus, currently the value of RGGI allowances in the bank should
be valued with consideration of potential conversion should a federal system be enacted, in addition
to their higher regional value in a non-overallocated RGGI future.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The original budget for July was $505,417. The actual expenses for July are $562,248 for an
unfavorable variance of $56,831 or 0.98%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES - Labor, overtime, and burdens accounted for a favorable variance
of $156,110. The first payroll of the current fiscal year accrued in the last fiscal year.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable variance of $23,194 was due to some of
these costs being accrued into June of 2009.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - An unfavorable variance of $236,135 was due to insurance
costs that were considerably higher than anticipated and budgeted later in the fiscal year.
The current forecast is to finish this fiscal year at $5,883,743 expensed versus $5,798,711 budgeted
putting us at 101.5%. This should change once we make the adjustments to the forecast, specifically
in the insurance account.

Operations completed project on #1, #2, & #3 fuel oil burner pump rooms by removing insulation,
lagging, and unused heat tracing. After all the insulation was removed all the oil lines were painted
with epoxy paint. To finish the project teams labeled all the piping with directional flow labels on all
the oil piping.
Operations completed a similar project in epoxy painting the oil piping on all three burner decks and
new fuel oil regulating stations from the oil conversion project on #3 unit and labeled oil piping with
directional flow labels.
A study group is being formed to help operators pass the PJM Dispatcher Certification exam. The
study group will be lead by an Operations Supervisor and will concentrate on areas that need to be
focused on like Emergency Procedures or other areas the operators are weak on.
Teams continued training within the Plant Readiness Program (PRP) to keep their skills and
knowledge of the plant up to date particularly when the generating units are off line or when they are
not supporting maintenance activities. The GPI online training which supports our safety and
environmental training are being used by the teams to complete their training. GPI also has a number
of courses that are used to support operator advancement and refresher training.

Notable activities during the month include:
1) Ariva vibration report indicated excessive vibration on tower fan three. Maintenance team
inspected tower fan and found two damaged fan blades. Both fan blades were replaced and the
fan test run for vibration. Fan tested OK.
2) Ariva report indicated abnormal results in the unit 1&2 tower fan gearboxes. Maintenance
staff changed the tower fan gearbox oil in all ten fans.
3) XL Insurance Company suggested a cathodic protection inspection be performed at VanSant
for all below ground oil piping. Inspection of the oil piping and the integrity of the piping metal
were reported to the plant staff. Lightening arrestors were placed on all exposed oil piping
flanges resulting in added protection of the oil system piping.

4) Jersey IC completed a thermography survey while each unit was in operation during our June
testing. A detailed report was received by the plant staff. Maintenance staff completed three
action items from the thermography report. Hotspots were found on 3B vacuum pump lead
wires, 3B vacuum pump breaker and VanSant’s “A” exhaust frame blower lead wire. Each item
was inspected, cleaned and retighten or replace hardware per the report.
5) Radius completed our quarterly fire protection inspection at each cooling tower. Fire
protection systems were manually tested. Both fire alarm bells would not sound off and one
remote alarm to the control room wasn’t working. Two safety work orders were written as a
result of the inspection. Both safety work orders were completed within two days of the
inspection.

6.0 General Plant Information
Training
The plant had training on our updated Facility Response Plan. The training went over scenarios of
having an oil spill getting to one of our outfalls and making it to the lake. From the training
personnel came up with some ideas how to improve our reaction time. We purchased some plugs for
the outfalls so we could stop any oil or chemical by plugging the outfall so there would be no or
minimal contamination in the lake.
Plant staff continues to train with the GPI online training for completing the OSHA and
environmental training requirements for the year. Plant staff have also continued to review the
Plant SMPs (Safety Manual Procedures) for 2009.
Plant personnel continue to train using the EDQP program. This program is used for developing the
employee for the next level at their position or we use it for a refresher course for the plant personnel
that are at a senior position so they can review plant systems.
Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by the entire staff.
Other Events
The plant received the final report from Lewellyn Technology (LT) who performed an Arc Flash
Analysis of both generating facilities. The plant has evaluated the recommendations and is now in
the process of developing an action plan to implement the recommendations and to use the findings
from the report to implement new procedures for safety. Labeling of electrical panels has been
completed indicating arc flash hazards. In addition, training is being scheduled for plant personnel to
provide greater understanding of arc flash exposure and personnel safety.
A Capital Improvement Project has been developed for cooling tower repairs and improvement to
extend the lives of the cooling towers. This plan prioritizes work that needs to be completed by the
inspection report that was supplied by SPIG on #3 unit cooling tower. On a parallel path, the plant
has received a budgetary quote for a tower replacement. This information will be provided to Pace
Global who will assist in determining which option to pursue.
NAES Scholarship awards were presented to Mariah, daughter of Senior Operator Dave Hodge and
Katie and Kelly Marvel, daughters of Phil Marvel, Maintenance Supervisor. Mariah is a first time
recipient and will be a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania studying psychology. Katie and
Kelly are recipients for the third consecutive year. They both attend Liberty University and will be
juniors, both majoring in communications.
The Capital Improvement Projects for the 2009-2010 physical year have been approved. These
projects include a Mark IV controls upgrade at VanSant, paving the roads at the McKee Run
Generating Station, Miscellaneous Capital Equipment Replacements, and the installation of a Heat
and Smoke Detection for the McKee Run warehouses and administration building.
Final revisions are being made to the Appendix E reports from the emissions testing which occurred
in June 2009. Catalyst is in the process of revising the reports as well as providing the plant with the
Dover Monthly PGAM Report July 2009 - Final

Particulate Testing test results. These reports will be submitted to the EPA and DNREC after a
thorough review by the plant with assistance from Monica Lopes, NAES ESS.
The plant FRP has been updated as well as the plant-wide training of all plant staff. In addition, table
top drills were utilized to aid in preparing plant personnel for a possible spill drill that the EPA had
scheduled for the Dover area.

III. GLOSSARY
All In Unit Energy Cost ("AIE") accounts for the wholesale energy costs excluding capacity
obligations, capacity credits for Dover-owned generation, generation revenues, generating plant
costs, the black start ancillary services credit for the Van Sant plant, and revenues associated with
the sale of emission allowances. The AIE includes the costs from settling the hedged or forward
transactions; the energy bought on the ISO (Independent System Operator or PJM) day-ahead to
cover the open position (un-hedged); load following costs associated with balancing the actual load
in the ISO real-time market; energy management service related fees; the ISO transmission charges
and credits to load serving entities; the ISO ancillary services charges such as generation regulation,
spinning reserve, and reactive power; and the ISO administrative charges and cost of service
recovery fees.
All In Cost of Service ("AICS") accounts for the net cost of wholesale power to the City of Dover
Electric Utility. The AICS starts with the AIE and adds the costs or credits from capacity
obligations, capacity credits for Dover-owned generation, generation revenues, generating plant
costs, the black start ancillary services credit for the Van Sant plant, and revenues associated with
the sale of emission allowances.
Black Start is a generating ancillary service that is the process of restoring a generating plant to
service without the support of an external power supply to power auxiliary equipment needed for
start up operations.
Capacity UCAP Obligated Purchased is the obligation and payment by all load serving entities in
PJM including Dover for the Unforced Capacity (UCAP) requirement from PJM that satisfies the
PJM reserve requirements.
Generation Capacity Credit: is the credit provided to generators for supply capcity to the system.
The price is determined by the PJM Reliability Pricing Market auction process that includes three
auctions for each capacity year.
Generation Production Margin accounts for the variable margin excluding variable O&M and
emissions. The Generation Production Margin is calculated by taking the PJM revenues credited to
the plant including any balancing charges or credits less the fuel costs. Generation Production
Margin includes both “Economic and reliability dispatch” and “Testing.” Economic and reliability
dispatch equals the margin achieved when Dover’s generating plants are dispatched by PJM for
either economic dispatch (the system energy price is greater than the Dover bid price) or reliability
dispatch whereby PJM pays the generating cost of the plants for the hours the plant is run to support
the system. Generation Testing equals the Generation Production Margin associated with testing.
This is usually expected to be a negative margin because the plant is potentially being dispatched /
run when energy prices do not cover its costs.
Non-Production Revenue equals the credits from PJM to Dover for Generation Capacity Credit, the
Black Start Revenue and the sales by Dover of Emission Allowances.
