Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Water Department Risk Management Plan PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum if to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider approving the Engineering Services Agreement for the Risk Management Plan for the City of Elgin Water Department, Riverside and Airlite facilities. BACKGROUND On June 20, 1996, the U. S . Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) regulations (FR61 (120) , p. 31668) were issued requiring facilities that have a regulated substance above threshold quantities to develop a formal Risk Management Program (RMProgram) and register and submit a Risk Management Plan (RMPlan) . rThe overall goal in developing a RMProgram is to reduce the risk to employees and to the public of injury or death from accidental release of these chemicals. The RMProgram is focused on preventing accidental chemical releases that have the potential for catastrophic impacts on the public. The RMProgram does not address other more common potential occupational health incidents that can represent equally significant or greater risks to employees . For this reason, the RMProgram is not a substitute for conventional health and safety programs . On May 5, 1999, the City requested proposals from four engineering firms to submit proposals for developing a Risk Management Plan to comply with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Clean Air Act . On May 26 , 1999, the City received two responsive proposals. A staff committee represented by Water, Public Works, Engineering and the Fire Department has evaluated the two proposals and concluded that August Mack of Park Ridge, Illinois was the most qualified candidate. On June 25, 1999, the committee met with August Mack and discussed their proposal and requested increasing the mobilizations to the site from one visit to three visits, including the site inspection, RMP draft review with Elgin, and technical orientation meeting to each site to be performed. August rft. Mack agreed to perform these services without additional cost to the City. A copy of the results of the selection process is attached as Exhibit A.

Elgin, IL 60120 Re: Proposal for Air Quality Management Services ` . 112(r) Risk Management Plan Part A: Narrative City of Elgin Water Department Riverside and Airlite Facilities Elgin, Illinois August Mack Proposal Number 92050 Dear Ms. Cohen: In accordance with your request for proposal (RFP) dated May 5, 1999, August Mack Environmental, Inc. (August Mack) is pleased to provide you with this proposal for air quality management services at the aforementioned City of Elgin Water Department (Elgin) facilities located in Elgin, Illinois. Specifically, August Mack intends to assist Elgin in the preparation of a Risk Management Plan (RMP). The objective of this project will be to prepare a RMP for the Elgin facilities which will comply with the requirements of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This proposal was prepared based on information obtained from the Elgin RFP dated May 5, 1999. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Section 112(r) of the CAA affects all facilities with on-site storage of any of 77 toxic chemicals or 63 flammable gases/liquids above the threshold quantities (TQs) established in Chapter 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 68.130 (40 CFR 68.130). For flammables, the TQ is 10,000 pounds. For toxics, the TQs vary for each toxic chemical, and ranges from 500 to 20,000 pounds. Affected facilities are required to prepare and submit a RMP to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) prior to June 20, 1999 unless an extension for said submittal has been submitted to and approved by the USEPA. The objective of the RMP program is to have facilities identify and assess their chemical hazards, and to develop and implement certain activities designed to reduce the likelihood SITE INVESTIGATION • REMEDIAL ACTION•AIR QUALITY•TANK MANAGEMENT• POLLUTION CONTROL and severity of accidental chemical releases. It is August Mack's understanding that the Elgin facilities store ammonia (1) and chlorine (2) in excess of their respective TQs. As a result, Elgin is required to prepare a RMP for their Riverside and Airlite facilities. RMP Program Designation • The RMP requirements are divided into three (3) program categories (Programs 1, 2 and 3) which correspond to increasing potential for accidental releases from the RMP process(es) at affected facilities. All three programs require a 5-year accident history for each RMP process and submission of a RMP that covers all processes. Additional requirements are described below. • • Program 1 facilities have small potential for accidental release, with no effect on public receptors. For each Program 1 process, a worst-case release analysis is completed. Also, emergency response activities are coordinated with local responders. • Program 2 facilities have moderate potential for accidental release which affects public receptors. These facilities do not qualify as Program 1 or Program 3 facilities. In addition to the requirements of Program 1, Program 2 requires analysis of more likely releases for each RMP compound and a prevention program consisting of hazard review, operating procedures, training, maintenance, compliance audits, and incident investigations. • Program 3 facilities are engaged in specific industries defined by their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code in the RMP regulations (e.g., chemical manufacturers), or which are required to comply with OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard. They typically have high potential for accidental release affecting adjacent public receptors. In addition to the requirements of Program 2, Program 3 facilities implement management- of-change procedures, pre-startup reviews, contractor safety training and hot work permits. This proposal assumes that the Elgin facilities do not qualify as a Program 3 facilities because 1) Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is not specified in the Program 3 section of the RMP regulations and 2) would be considered a retail facility under the PSM regulations, and would therefore qualify for an exemption from PSM regulations. However, this proposal assumes that Elgin's accidental release endpoints will extend beyond the Elgin property (based on knowledge of the Elgin facility layout), and will affect the surrounding public receptors, thereby resulting in being Program 2 facilities. If it is determined that Elgin's release endpoints are within the facility property boundaries, then either Elgin may qualify as a Program 1 facility, which will simplify the RMP. As stated in the RFP, it will be assumed that both facilities will be required to develop and implement risk management programs following program 2 protocol. SCOPE OF WORK For each facility, the scope of work for this project will involve: inspecting the facilities; developing a risk management system; compiling written process safety information; conducting off-site release scenario analyses; maintaining and updating Elgin's records; performing a hazard review; updating and maintaining Elgin's operating and emergency response procedures; developing a written training program; developing a written self- audit program; improving Elgin's existing Emergency Response Plan; communicating with the public regarding the RMP; and preparing the RMP on behalf of Elgin for submittal to the USEPA. All of these activities will be performed in accordance with the RMP requirements specified in 40 CFR 68, and are further described below. Facility Inspection Upon initiation of the project, August Mack will mobilize to both Riverside and Airlite facilities to perform detailed facility inspections, and to gather the information required for completing the RMP. Prior to the facility inspections, August Mack will provide Elgin with a list of required information necessary to complete this project. Specifically, site plans and/or equipment layout maps will be required prior to the facility inspection. RMP Process Identification During the facility inspections, August Mack will review the requested information with Elgin, and collect the additional information pertinent to this project. August Mack will then inspect the Elgin's Riverside and Airlite facilities to identify the storage vessel(s) and equipment which qualify as "process(es)" under the RMP regulations (RMP process), which will have to be addressed in the RMP. As described previously, it is August Mack's understanding that the ammonia and chlorine at Riverside and chlorine at Airlite are utilized in RMP-defined processes; however, there may be additional RMP process(es) at the Elgin facilities which will be identified as part of the facility inspection. Accidental Release Control Inventory During the facility inspection, August Mack will inventory the following accidental release controls for the affected RMP process(es): • Mitigation systems - Dikes, blast walls, sprinkler system, enclosure, neutralization system. • Process controls - Relief vents, check valves, automatic shutoffs, interlocks, alarms, emergency power supply. • Monitoring/detection systems-Process area detectors, perimeter monitors. August Mack will also interview Elgin personnel regarding non-structural controls (e.g., inspection, training, and housekeeping procedures) utilized to minimize the potential for W accidental releases from the affected RMP process(es), and regarding any accidental release(s) from the RMP process(es). Public Receptor Survey During the facility inspection, August Mack will survey the areas surrounding the Elgin facilities. In particular, public receptors (e.g., off-site residences, schools, hospitals, office buildings, commercial/industrial facilities) in the vicinity of the Elgin facilities will be identified. If required, additional information on the areas surrounding the Elgin facilities will be obtained from readily available public information (e.g., United States Geological Survey topographic map). Following the facility inspection,.August.Mack will discuss the • findings of the site inspections with the Elgin project representative. August Mack will then compile the data obtained from the facility inspections, and determine whether additional information will be needed to complete the RMPs. If additional information is required, August Mack will work with Elgin to obtain the needed information. Task 1 - Develop/Document Management System Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.15, the names/positions of those responsible for implementing the individual requirements of this RMP shall be documented and the lines of authority defined. August Mack will work with Elgin to identify the personnel which will be - responsible for implementing the RMP at each site, and the lines of communication which will be required to properly integrate the plans. Task 2- Process Safety Information Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.48, August Mack shall compile and maintain up-to-date safety information related to the regulated substances, processes, and equipment at the Elgin facility. The purpose of this task will be to ensure that the RMP regulated chemicals are being managed in compatible vessels and lines and in a manner consistent with process safety protocol. _. Task 3 - Engineering Study/Computer Modeling August Mack will identify the worst-case release scenario and an alternative (more likely) release scenario related to each RMP process identified at the Elgin facilities. A worst- case release scenario is defined in 40 CFR 68.3 as "the release of the largest quantity of regulated substance from a vessel or process line failure that results in the greatest distance to an endpoint defined in 40 CFR 68.22(a)." In addition, an alternative release scenario is a release scenario which is more likely to occur than the worst-case scenario. August Mack will utilize US EPA regulations (e.g., 40 CFR 68.22) and methodologies (e.g.,RMP Off-site Consequence Analysis Guidance, US EPA, May 24, 1996) to develop the worst-case release scenarios, and the alternative release scenarios from Elgin's RMP process(es), as required in the RMP regulations. For each of these scenarios (worst-case and alternative), August Mack will then estimate the quantity and rate of release of the regulated substance(s) from the RMP process(es). Release Endpoint Calculations The release scenarios will be evaluated to calculate endpoint(s) (e.g., locations where the concentration of the specific RMP chemical is predicted to be at or above the toxic level for that compound) resulting from RMP process release(s), as defined in the RMP regulations. August Mack will utilize US EPA's RMP Off-site Consequence Analysis Guidance and/or USEPA-approved air dispersion models to complete these release scenario analyses. If the release scenario analyses indicate that one or more of the endpoints Elgin's RMP process(es) extend beyond either Elgin property, then Elgin's RMP process(es) will be considered to affect public receptors. For example, if the worst-case release scenario analysis indicates that a catastrophic release of ammonia from the Riverside facility's 6,000 gallon storage tank will result in an ambient concentration above the specified toxic level in a residential neighborhood adjacent to the facility, then the hazard assessment indicates that Elgin's neighbors will be affected and the facility is not eligible for Program 1 participation. Task 4 -Record Keeping/Updating System August Mack will define the information to be recorded for process safety information, five-year accident history, incident investigations, process changes, maintenance, and audits. Further, August Mack will identify any criteria that would require action by the facilities including: accidents requiring reporting, process changes, frequency of equipment inspections and scheduled maintenance, frequency of refresher training, and audit findings. Task 5 -Hazard Review Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.50, August Mack shall conduct a review of the hazards associated with the regulated substance, process, and procedures at the Elgin facility. August Mack shall use a checklist technique to perform the hazard review. The hazard review checklist shall identify the following: • any hazards associated with the process and regulated substance; • opportunities for equipment malfunction or human error that could cause an accidental release; • safeguards used or needed to control the hazards or prevent equipment malfunction or human error; and, • any steps used or needed to detect or monitor an accidental release. Task 6 - Operating Procedures Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.52, August Mack shall prepare written operating procedures that provide clear instructions or steps for safely conducting activities associated with each covered RMP process consistent with the safety information for that process. Task 7 - Training Program Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.54, August Mack shall develop a written training program that: • Defines the content of each employee's training according to the processes they will operate and/or maintain; • Defines situations that require training for non-employee personnel (e.g. contractors, vendors, ect.) and the content of their training; • Measures the competency of personnel responsible for operating and maintaining covered processes; • Defines refresher training; and, • Incorporates the pertinent government regulations and industry-specific standards and codes. Task 8 - Self-auditing and Incident Investigation Programs Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.58 and 40 CFR 68.60, August Mack shall develop a written self-audit program and a written incident investigation program, receptively. Task 9 - Emergency Response Program Pursuant to 40 CFR 68.95, August Mack shall review each facility's existing Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Upon completion of each review, August Mack shall make the necessary modifications/revisions to ensure each ERP includes more _._ specific actions which shall be performed with regard to notifying .the public and responding to a release. As appropriate, August Mack shall ensure each ERP incorporates the requirements of all applicable emergency response regulations. The completed ERPs will be prepared in accordance with the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance. • Task 10 - Risk Management Plans Once the hazard assessment is completed, August Mack will prepare the RMP for each facility using US EPA's guidance and formats. The RMP will be prepared in electronic format to enable electronic submittal of the RMP to US EPA. EPA has developed a software program called RMP*submit for the process of developing submission files; however, to date, it has not been refined. Because the plan is the primary means by which a facility's compliance will be evaluated, it is important that it contain all of the data elements published in the guidance accompanying the regulation. The plan will include the registration form, a summary of the hazard assessment and off-site consequence analyses, including a description of the impact zone for worst-case and more likely toxic and flammable releases, a description of the major hazards and consequences, and the prevention and mitigation measures instituted. The plans will also summarize the ERP and document the management systems that have been put in place in response to this regulation. In accordance with 40 CFR 68, Subpart C, the RMPs will detail Elgin's risk management program for its RMP process(es), and will include: • Inventory of RMP process(es); • The results of August Mack's hazard review; • Written operating procedures for safely conducting activities associated with the RMP process(es); • Training procedures; • Maintenance procedures; • Compliance audit procedures; and, • Incident investigation procedures. Upon completion of the draft RMPs, August Mack will forward the documents to Elgin for review and comment. August Mack will then meet with Elgin personnel to discuss the content of the RMPs, and to work with Elgin to identify and address any deficiencies noted in the RMPs, prior to US EPA submittal. Following the meeting, August Mack will finalize the RMPs in both hard copy and electronic formats, which will be provided to Elgin. Also, a Notification Report (IEPA Form APC 565) shall be completed and submitted to the IEPA. Task 11 - Communication With the Public August Mack shall conduct a technical orientation meeting for Elgin personnel who will be required to communicate with the public regarding the RMPs. August Mack shall prepare a concise public information bulletin to be given to inquiring individuals that describes the RMP rule, the specific facility's processes covered by the rule, and the precautions being taken at each site to protect the public. Further, a diagram depicting administrative controls and facility features designed to reduce hazards and mitigate the impact of release if one occurs shall be prepared. r PROJECT SCHEDULE Assuming that authorization to proceed is received from Elgin by July 15, 1999, the estimated date to complete the RMPs as specified in the RFP and described in the proposal shall be October 29, 1999.

Through our blend of engineering and scientific input, August Mack is a recognized problem solver in the area of air quality. August Mack assists clients in establishing air emission inventories to provide the basis for compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). Due to the complexities of the act and its compliance deadlines, an accurate air emission inventory provides management with the needed baseline information for emission reduction strategies and production growth planning during the 1990s. We perform the required calculations and testing to establish air emissions data and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) on a local and corporate-wide basis: August Mack has experience in estimating emissions of many types of sources. We have estimated emissions at steel mills, chemical manufacturing plants, petroleum refineries, automotive assembly plants, packaging plants, foundries, power plants and disposal sites. In addition, we analyze air streams for particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), corrosives, asbestos, heavy metals and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This work is conducted to evaluate the performance of various pollution control equipment, to establish baseline emission factors and to monitor compliance with permit conditions. In the area of permitting emission sources, August Mack secures approval for construction and operation of both point and fugitive sources. We prepare Emission Inventory Questionnaires (EIQs); Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit applications; hazardous waste incinerator trial- burn plans; and various state and local applications. Permit applications are prepared by August Mack staff members to permit boilers, coal piles, melting and heat treat furnaces, milling operations and other industrial processes. In addition, August Mack has reviewed and designed control equipment, such as flares, afterburners, fume incinerators, condensers, wet scrubbers, carbon adsorption units, cyclones and baghouses for control of the various industrial processes. AUGUST MACK ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. _ QUALIFICATIONS&EXPERIENCE SERVICE DESCRIPTION Our regulatory expertise can assist companies to meet permitting commitments effectively and economically. In addition, August Mack works extensively with clients to establish Federally Enforceable Standard Operating Procedures (FESOPs) to limit Title V permitting requirements of the CAAA. August Mack maintains an on-site regulations and technology library which allows us to stay current with the dynamic changes taking place in the regulatory community. This resource gives August Mack the ability to provide a regulatory compliance service, which ensures the client is fully aware of applicable regulations and assists in the development of strategies to achieve compliance in concert with corporate objectives and strategies. August Mack has significant expertise assisting clients in completing Title V permit applications and associated requirements. The preparation of Title V permit applications includes describing each emission point; reviewing and citing all applicable regulatory requirements; developing alternative operating scenarios to ensure operational flexibility; preparing preventative maintenance plans for pollution control equipment; and developing monitoring techniques in order to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations. Our staff realizes the importance of developing a thorough understanding of each client's processes in order to accurately describe emission points and develop alternative operating scenarios in the Title V permit. This ensures our clients receive sufficient operating flexibility, without being subjected to the rigorous permit modification process. August Mack also utilizes its staff s expertise regarding air quality regulations to review facility operations for compliance with all applicable requirements and, if needed, develop strategies for compliance. In addition, our staff has extensive air pollution control technology expertise, which is relied upon to develop the preventative maintenance plans as required by Title V. August Mack's experience with industrial processes and knowledge of pollution control technology also assists our clients to establish monitoring techniques, which demonstrate continuous compliance with these regulations. AUGUST MACK ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. QUALIFICATIONS&EXPERIENCE - SERVICE DESCRIPTION Our risk management planning services involve personnel with many years of experience in the industrial and process equipment environment. Understanding the real and perceived risks associated flammable and toxic chemicals, August Mack assists clients with developing common sense management procedures, while maintaining safety both within the plant and to the potentially affected general public. August Mack can complete risk management plans (RMPs) on a complete turnkey basis, or provide supplementary cervices to support RMP activities such as hazard analyses, release endpoint modeling, emergency response planning, public awareness, etc. It is through the hazard analysis that August Mack works with clients to identify potential areas of concern which should be addressed to mitigate the potential for a chemical release. It is August Mack's knowledge of a multitude of industrial processes that allows us to be a leader in risk management. It is our through our knowledge of industrial processes that we can also provide industrial hygiene services. We believe employee exposures can be reduced or eliminated through engineering or administrative controls, while avoiding costly personal protective programs. These controls also eliminate the need to administer and incur on-going costs associated with protective gear. Our industrial hygiene personnel are experienced in air sampling for metal fumes, toxic and nuisance dusts, volatile organic vapors, mists, gases and various other unique contaminants. In addition to chemical exposures, physical hazards including noise, radiation, heat stress and vibration monitoring services are also available. Finally, ventilation system evaluations are routinely performed during industrial hygiene surveys to gauge the system's effectiveness. This experience is applied to the design of industrial surveys, indoor air quality investigations and environmental site safety and health plans to provide a comprehensive and cost-effective means of establishing comfortable, healthful working conditions.

The facility is an active stainless steel manufacturer that was undergoing acquisition.. The facility operates a melt department, grinding operation, annealing and pickling;lines and rolling mills. As part of the audit, August Mack transferred all constructlgn and operating permits for existing operations and obtained construction permits for a new hot annealing and pickling line. In order to comply with air toxic requirements for nickel and hexavalent chromium, August Mack rebuilt the baghouses on the meltshop and designed and installed capture and collection equipment for the grinding operations. The improvements enabled the facility to comply with the air toxic requirements, which was demonstrated by dispersion modeling. Company Name Contact Address Phone Services Provided Lone Star,Inc. Ms. Christa 3905 Vincennes Road (317)879-9600 PSD Permitting Russell Indianapolis 46268 Project Type: PSD Permitting Place of Performance: Greencastle,Indiana Project Description: August Mack prepared a PSD permit application for a Portland cement manufacturer to obtain permission from the IDEM to install and operate an 1,800 ton per day wet process rotary kiln, clinker cooler, and 70 ton per hour finish grinding mill. August Mack estimated criteria and hazardous air pollutant(HAP) emission rates; prepared a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis; and, performed a refined dispersion modeling analysis using Industrial Source Complex II (ISC2) and Complex Terrain (CT). These models utilized building downwash parameters, receptor height elevations,particle size gravitational settling,and hourly meteorological data from the Indianapolis Airport (surface station) and Wright Patterson Air Force Base (upper station). Pollutant maximum impact analysis outside the plant boundary line included emissions from Lone Star, emissions from 33 other sources within a 50 kilometer radius and representative background pollutant levels obtained from state and local area monitoring stations(SLAMS). August Mack requested the use of SLAMS data to determine the background pollutant concentrations in order to save Lone Star the expense of developing meteorological data from their own source. This would have required setting up a monitoring network and recording data for a period of one year prior to developing the PSD permit application. Also, August Mack prepared an Additional Impact Analysis, which determined the effect of increased emissions from this proposed construction on local area crops, vegetation, waterways, and visibility. Based on the information obtained, August Mack was able to demonstrate that the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) were protected, and the maximum allowable increment was not exceeded.

The scope of work included inspecting each collector's housing, cleaning system,filters, material discharge system and fan. In addition, August Mack measured the volumetric air flow rate of the collector system, static pressure at the inlets and outlet of the collector and the fan total static pressure at the fan inlet. The inspection of each collector's housing included examining the collectors filter access and hopper access seals for deterioration; inlet and outlet duct work systems for damage;volume control damper system for proper operations and collector housing for damage. The inspection of the cleaning system included observing the cleaning cycle of the collector and examining both system components (e.g. valves, couplings,pulse header, pulse pipes, etc.) and the components of the differential pressure system of the collector. The inspection of the filters included determining the opacity of the collector discharge, investigating the clean air plenums for material buildup and conducting a visualite test on the filters to determine which, if any, filters were leaking. The discharge hoppers, manual slide gates and rotary air locks were examined during the material discharge system inspection. The fan components of each collector were also inspected for proper operation. Once this process was complete, August Mack prepared a report which discussed the operations of the collectors and provided recommendations to improve the collector performance. Following a receipt of the report, Gartland Foundry authorized August Mack to implement the recommendations. August Mack replaced cartridges and bags, precoated filters, gaskets, pulse valves and leak tested the collectors. AUGUST MACK ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

Mr.Ron 88026 West Route 24 (309)633-8637 Ventilation System Oliver _ Mapleton,IL 61547 Project Type:Ventilation System Engineering Study Place of Performance: Mapleton,Illinois Project Description: August Mack completed an engineering study on the ventilation system currently used to control emission from two 25 ton per hour induction melt furnaces at a Caterpillar facility located in central Illinois. The purpose of the project was to approximate the capture efficiencies of various types of hoods that could be used to ventilate particulate matter generated by the furnaces at air volumes of 55,000, 120,000 and 17.5,000 cfm and to provide recommendations for capturing at least 60 percent of the emissions emitted by the furnaces. Hood capture efficiencies were estimated for charging, melting, slagging and tapping furnace operations. The scope of work for this project included conducting a site reconnaissance survey in order to observe the furnace operations and obtain field measurements. Following completion of the site reconnaissance survey, August Mack estimated the particulate capture efficiencies of various style hoods at varying flow rates utilizing estimation techniques provided in the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists manual entitled"Industrial Ventilation a Manual of Recommended Practice". The results of the study indicated that the air volumes and costs associated with utilizing any type of canopy hood to capture at least 60%were extremely high. It was, therefore, recommended that Caterpillar install close capture hoods on their induction furnaces since the air volume requirements and costs were lower than the air volumes and cost associated with canopy hoods.

The goal of the project was to identify both actual and potential emissions of CO, particulate, PM10 , VOC, NOx, SOx, and HAPs for the last six months of 1993. The scope of work involved identifying all potential emission sources; determining process throughputs and material usages; and,calculating emissions at each facility. The project was performed by using material balance, engineering equations and published emission factors. Since all five of the facilities were located in ozone nonattainment counties, August Mack reviewed the actual VOC and NOx emissions to determine whether any of the facilities were required to submit annual emission statements pursuant to Title I of the CAAAs. Additionally,August Mack reviewed the permit compliance status of the facility, identified unpermitted units, and prepared PTIs for each unpermitted unit. AUGUST MACK ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

August Mack completed the facility's emission inventory, including actual and potential air emissions, and identified the "trivial" and "de minimus" air emission units which did not require air permitting (or inclusion into the Title V operating permit application). In addition, the emission inventory provided the potential air emissions, and corresponding potential material throughputs, for developing the federally enforceable limitations in the Title V Operating Permit. Concurrently, August Mack developed a list of applicable requirements for each of the air emission units. The results of the emission inventory, and determination of the applicable requirements indicated that the facility's overall air compliance was current, and therefore, did not require a compliance plan. August Mack also worked with the client's representative to identify periodic monitoring requirements for the various air emission units,which would provide the greatest operational flexibility(e.g.,long averaging periods,current material tracking practices, etc.). Upon the client's approval, August Mack provided the emission inventory, the list of applicable requirements, and the periodic monitoring requirements to the client so that they could input the data into the facility's Title V Operating Permit application. The Title V Operating Permit application is being reviewed by Ohio Environmental Protection Agency at this time. Client Company Client Contact Address Telephone Services Provided SanCast,Inc. Mr.Steve 535 Clow Lane (614)622-8660 Update Emission Inventory Conrad Coshocton,011 43812 Project Type:Update Emission Inventory • Place of Performance: Coshocton, Ohio Project Description: August Mack was retained by this gray iron foundry to update the 1994 emissions inventory and to incorporate any changes in production that may have occurred during the 1995 production year. August Mack consulted with facility personnel to identify any changes in the production throughputs and hours of operation for each emission source at the facility. August Mack then proceeded to incorporate the changes in production into an updated emission inventory for the facility. The results of the revised emission inventory revealed that SanCast's potential emissions did not exceed the established Title V thresholds (e.g., 100 tons per year (TPY) for criteria pollutants, and 10 TPY of any individual hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 TPY for any combination of two or more HAPs). Based on the results of the revised facility emission inventory, it was determined that SanCast was still a Title V minor source, and therefore, was not subject to Title V permitting requirements.

August Mack performed site inspections of the 2 facilities, during which the processes and chemicals stored at the facilities were inventoried. Several regulated toxic and flammable substances were identified; however, August Mack determined that none of these substances were present above their associated threshold quantities (TQs). Based on information obtained during the site inspections, and from the client, August Mack determined that there were no processes at either facility that would require preparation of an RMP. Therefore, August Mack provided the client with a letter report, including supporting calculations, to document that the RMP regulations were not applicable to these facilities.

The initial task was to estimate actual and potential emissions from the new line for preparation and submittal of the pennit application. In a review of the published emission factors, it was determined that this process would require PSD review prior to obtaining an operating permit. However, based on conversations with IDEM, August Mack was aware of other construction permits for continuous line pickling operations that were not considered major modifications and did not require PSD review prior to operation. Based on this knowledge, a fixed film method of estimating the evaporative rate of acid off the coil was utilized as an emission rate prior to control of emissions via a fume exhaust scrubber system. Using this more accurate method of estimating the emissions from this source, IDEM approved the construction permit without PSD review. Geoffrey A.

(August Mack) is pleased to provide you with this revised price schedule for air quality management services at the aforementioned City of Elgin Water Department (Elgin) facilities located in Elgin, Illinois. Based on the final report written by PETRA Engineering & Environmental Compliance, Inc. (PETRA) for the preliminary work associated with the City of Elgin Water Department's RMP, both Elgin facilities are subject to the Process Safety Management(PSM) requirements outlined in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1910.119, "Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals." Our original proposal (dated May 24, 1999) included pricing to assist Elgin in the preparation of a Risk Management Plan (RMP) following Program 2 protocol. However, this revised price schedule assumes that each facility is subject to OSHA's PSM standard, thereby resulting in both being Program 3 facilities. As we discussed during our meeting on June 25, 1999, certain tasks must be completed to fulfill the PSM requirements outlined in the OSHA standard. There are twelve elements in the RMP Program 3 prevention program that correspond with OSHA's PSM standard. These elements include: (1) process safety information, (2) process hazard analysis, (3) operating procedures, (4) training, (5) mechanical integrity, (6) management of change, (7) pre-startup review, (8) compliance audits, (9) incident investigations, (10) employee participation, (11) hot work permit, and (12) contractors. PSM elements (1) through (5) SITE INVESTIGATION •REMEDIAL ACTION •AIR QUALITY•TANK MANAGEMENT• POLLUTION CONTROL are required for Program 2 facilities and were incorporated into the.original proposal. However, Program 3 facilities require the completion of all twelve PSM elements/tasks. This letter proposes revised costs to complete these additional tasks. The additional LUMP SUM not-to-exceed cost to prepare the RMP based on information provided by Elgin is $2,750. These costs are summarized in the following table: .................................:...... �n Process Safety Information =f= Covered in original proposal Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Covered in original proposal Operating Procedures Covered in original proposal Training Covered in original proposal Mechanical Integrity Covered in original proposal Management of Change $550 Pre-Startup Review $550 Compliance Audits $440 Incident Investigation $440 Employee Participation Covered in original proposal Hot Work Permit $220 Contractors $550 If Elgin requests that August Mack complete the six additional PSM elements which must be incorporated into Program 3 RMPs, the revised base LUMP SUM not-to-exceed.cost to prepare the RMP for both Elgin facilities as described in our original proposal is $18,770. This cost includes all travel charges and assumes: • Elgin will provide the needed information (e.g., copies of air permits, emission estimates, throughputs, purchase records, existing emergency response plans, . plant layout plans, etc.) during this project; • Both facilities are subject to Program 3 requirements; • August Mack will prepare separate RMPs for each facility; • The ammonia and chlorine stored at the Elgin facilities are the only substances to be addressed in Elgin's PSM; • Elgin will provide electronic copies of site plans for RMP incorporation; • August Mack will not be required to prepare or modify any of Elgin's permits as a result of the PSM requirements; and, • Elgin will be responsible for any permitting or application fees which may be required by the US EPA Additionally, this cost assumes that three (3) mobilizations including the site inspection, RMP draft review with Elgin, and technical orientation meeting, to each site will be • • J performed to prepare the RMP submittal. Additional mobilizations and additional tasks not included in the original proposal or this addendum will be performed on a time-and- materials basis in accordance with August Mack's standard fee schedule included in Attachment A. No additional mobilizations or work tasks will be performed without prior written authorization from Elgin. Elgin shall reimburse August Mack as may be necessary to complete the requirements of this assignment as set forth in the Agreement between the parties. August Mack shall submit to Elgin monthly, a certified invoice. Elgin will review the invoice to insure that all charges are proper and supported by August Mack's Project Progress Report stapled thereto before authorizing payment to August Mack. An interest rate of 1.5% per month will be charged on all payments not received within thirty calendar days of the invoice date. If you are in agreement with the scope of work and terms as described above, please provide the proposed agreement document for execution by August Mack. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you, and look forward to working with you on this project.
