1.0 INTRODUCTION
DEECO, lnc (DEECO) is pleased to submit this quotation pursuant to our discussions and
your Request for Proposal. This contract work generally consists of protocol preparation,
conducting engineering tests, performing stack testing, performing analytical testing, and
associated report preparation for a period of three (3) years at the New Hanover County Waste to
Energy Conversion (WASTEC) facility located at 3002 U.S. Highway 421 North, Wilmington,
North Carolina.
The W ASTEC facility consists of two (2) 100 TPD Mass Burn Municipal Solid Waste
combustors and one (1) 300 TPD Mass Burn Municipal Solid Waste combustor. Control devices
consist of wet scrubbers and bag filters, followed by a 200-foot stack with work platform. The
300 TPD unit also utilized the injection of urea and activated carbon for control of various
pollutants.
In 2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006, and 2007 DEECO conducted almost $1,000,000
of MWC testing each year. DEECO tested fifteen (15) different facilities for five (5) different
companies in ten (10) different states. The references are presented in Section 9.
o
DEECO's knowledge of MWC emissions (i.e. waiting time after startup to conduct
dioxin/furan testing) and extra efforts (on-site analysis of HCl) can be critical to the success of
your testing program.
The test methods, sampling locations, and proposed sampling duration is presented below
in Section 2. The Project Manager and On-site Coordinator will be Mr. Bill DeWees (President
of DEECO and Mechanical Engineer). Mr. DeWees have been Project Manager on all MWC
testing program over the past eight years.
The test program has been divided into five (5) separate tasks. The Bid Summary is
presented in Section 8. Task 1 (see Table 1.1) Compliance Test Protocol Development. A final
test protocol will be developed for submission to the NC DAQ. Mr. Bill DeWees will make a
pretest visit to the facility. The test plan can be developed in two days after the site visit.
Task 2 Engineering Test (see Tables 1.2) will be conducted on a mutually agreeable date. No
test schedule is presented because the schedule will vary with the selected test program.
The engineering test is designed to allow an evaluation of operating conditions and
equipment performance; evaluate routine maintenance effectiveness and identify the need for
additional maintenance prior to compliance testing. DEECO has conducted numerous lime slurry
and carbon injection evaluation tests. DEECO is aware of the standard rates of lime slurry and
o carbon injection. DEECO conducts on-site analysis for HCl which provides on-site evaluation.

Our spreadsheet will give the stoichiometric ratio for each run. DEECO has also conducted
numerous carbon optimization test to establish the proper carbon rate.
Task 3 Compliance Test (see Tables 1.3, 1.3A and 1.38) will be conducted at mutually
agreeable dates in accordance with the methods and scope shown in Table 1.3. The testing
schedule for 2008,2009 and 2010 is presented in Table 1.3A.
Method 29 for trace metals analysis was developed/evaluated by Mr. Bill DeWees and Dr.
Scott Steinsberger under EPA Contract. The EPA Methods for hexavalent chromium was
developed/evaluated by Mr. Bill DeWees and Dr. Scott Steinsberger under EPA Contract. The
condensible particulate EPA Method 202 was developed/evaluated by Mr. Bill DeWees and Dr.
Scott Steinsberger under EPA Contract. The EPA Method 26 and 26A for HCL was
developed/evaluated by Mr. Bill DeWees and Dr. Scott Steinsberger under EPA Contract. Mr.
Bill DeWees and Dr. Scott Steinsberger also evaluated the toluene rinse for Method 23 and helped
develop the EPA audit program for dioxin/furans. In addition to conducting numerous testing
program of similar scopes on MWCs, Mr. DeWees and Dr. Steinsberger also have several
publications on sampling and QA/QC for MWC testing.
For year 2008, 2009 and 20010, all three units will be tested for compliance during one
week. As discussed in Section 3, DEECO has six specially designed trailers. For this task an Air
Toxic Recovery trailer will be brought on-site, DEECO will conduct on-site analysis for HCI.
Task 4 Analytical Testing (see Table 1.4) will be conducted by DEECO and their
specified laboratories. North Carolina currently does not require laboratory certification.
However, several of the states that DEECO tests in do require laboratory certification. DEECO's
two labs are NELAP certified and certified in many other states: Analytical Perspectives and
Element One. Therefore, if North Carolina requires lab certification in the future, all of the labs
with be certified. Audit Samples (see Table l.5)may be required to be analyzed for M23, M26
and M29. If the samples are supplied, DEECO will have the appropriate lab analyze the sample.
Task 5 Final Compliance Test Report (see Table 1.6). The draft report will be prepared
and submitted for review within 45 days after field test completion. Review comments will be
incorporated in final report. Five (5) copies of the final report will be submitted - Three hard
copies and two copies submitted as a CD report.
The scope of work is presented in detail in the Sections 2 through 6. Section 2, Stack
Testine Summaries presents a summary of the stack sampling and analytical methods for each
analyte to the measured. The stack sampling summary is presented in Table 2.1 for Task 1, Table
2.2 for Task 2, and Table 2.3 for Task 3. Section 3. Emission Testine Proeram Phases

SECTION 2. STACK TESTING SUMMARIES
All sampling and analytical methods employed for this program will be performed in
accordance with the procedures outlined in the Standards of Performance for New Stationary
Sources, 40 CFR 60.58b and 40 CFR 60.38b.
2.1 SAMPLE POINT AND PORT LOCATIONS
The number and location of the sampling or traverse points will be determined according
to the procedures outlined in EP A Method 1. The sample location will be inspected to insure EP A
Method 1 criteria is met. A cyclonic flow check will be performed before the start of testing. All
points will be more than 0.5 inches from the stack wall.
2.2 FLUE GAS VELOCITY AND VOLUMETRIC FLOW RATE - EPA METHOD 2
The flue gas velocity and volumetric flow rate will be determined according to the
procedures outlined in EPA Method 2. Velocity measurements will be made using type S pitot
tubes conforming to the geometric specifications outlined in EPA Method 2. Accordingly, each
has been assigned a coefficient of 0.84. Differential pressures will be measured with Magnehelic
gauges of appropriate range or with fluid manometers. Effluent gas temperatures will be measured
with chromel-alumel thermocouples equipped with hand-held digital readouts,
2.3 FLUE GAS COMPOSITION - EPA METHOD 3
Flue gas analysis for oxygen (02) and carbon dioxide (C02) concentrations, and the
calculation of percent excess air and flue gas dry molecular weight will be performed in accordance
with EPA Method 3. Multi-point, integrated sampling will be used to obtain a flue gas sample
concurrent with any isokinetic testing. A diaphragm pump, delivering 500 to 750 cubic
centimeters-per-minute (cc/min) of flue gas will be used to fill a Tedlar bag. Moisture will be
removed from the sample with a knockout jar located at the exit of the sampling probe. Sampling
will be of the same duration as the test runs, except for purges following port changes.
Concentration measurements will be made using an orsat analyzer. Prior to each series of
analyses, the Orsat will be leak checked to confirm that there is less than 0.2 milliliter (mL) change
in five minutes. Analysis for a given sample will repeated until the dry molecular weights for any
three analyses differ by less than 0.3 Ib/lb-mole from their mean, and the 0 2 analyses less than
0.3% from their mean.

2.4 FLUE GAS MOISTURE CONTENT - EPA METHOD 4
The flue gas moisture content will be determined in conjunction with each EP A Method 5
type train and according to the sampling and analytical procedures outlined in EP A Method 4. The
impingers will be connected in series and will contain reagents as described below. The impingers
will be contained in an ice bath in order to assure condensation of the moisture in the flue gas
stream. Any moisture that is not condensed in the impingers is captured in the silica gel, therefore
all moisture can be weighed and entered into moisture content calculations.
2.5 PARTICULATE MATTER - EPA METHOD 5 AND METHOD 202
An EP A Method 5 sampling train will be used to collect particulate matter and particulate
matter. The condensible PMIO will be determined by EPA Method 202.
The sample train used for collecting particulate matter samples is an EP A Method 5 design.
All particulate and condensible matter collected will be assumed to be less than 10 microns in
diameter since emissions are controlled by a fabric fIlter. Condensible matter will exclude
ammonium, chloride and sulfate (optional). Samples are collected over a two (2) hour period to
assure adequate amounts of particulate matter are collected for accurate weighing. The gas is
drawn from the stack through a glass nozzle and heated probe liner, through a pre-tared front-half
filter, and through three (3) impingers containing 100 milliliters (m!) of deionized (D!) water,
through an empty impinger, and through a bubbler containing indicating silica gel desiccant. All
glassware will be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed with DI water, acetone, and methylene chloride
(CHzClz) prior to use. The probe and filter boxed heaters will be kept at settings to maintain a
temperature of248 :t250F during the test. The back-half is maintained at a temperature below 68 OF
by adding ice to the condenser section throughout sampling.
The sample train is connected to a control box by means of an umbilical cord which contains
a vacuum hose, pitot lines, thermocouple wires and a 4-wire electrical cord. The control box
(meter box) is used to monitor stack conditions and to facilitate isokinetic sampling. The control
box consists of a leak-free pump used to pull the stack gas through the sample train, fine and coarse
metering valves to control the sampling rate, a vacuum gauge which measures the pressure drop
from the sampling nozzle to the metering valves, and a calibrated dry gas meter readable to 0.001
cubic feet. The dry gas meter inlet and outlet temperatures are monitored by thermocouples which
are connected to a multichannel thermocouple indicator. The dry gas meter calibration factor, Y,
is determined by calibJating the meter against a wet test meter or calibrated dry gas meter. At the
outlet of the dry gas meter is a calibrated orifice which is used to monitor the flow of gas through
the metering system to assure that samples are collected isokinetically. The pressure drop across
the orifice is monitored at each sample point. The pitot tubes utilized to measure stack gas velocity
are connected to the control box via the umbilical cord. The control box contains an inclined
manometer used for the velocity measurement.
Stack condition measurements are made prior to collecting a sample, including
measurements of velocity, temperature and a check for cyclonic flow in the stack. A sample nozzle
is selected and isokinetic operating parameters are established utilizing a programmable calculator.

The sampling nozzle, probe and prefilter connective glassware are cleaned and rinsed with
dichloromethane prior to use. The sample train is assembled and determined to be leak-free
following the procedures outlined in EPA Method 5. The sample nozzle is positioned in the stack
at the first sample point. The sample pump is turned on, and the gas sampling rate is adjusted for
isokinetic sampling. At the conclusion of the test, the pump is turned off, the probe is removed
from the stack, and a post-test leak check is performed per Method 5 procedures.
The Method 5/202 sample train will be purged with nitrogen (or air, per EPA Method 202)
following each test to minimize sulfate (SO. ) formation in the impingers. The front-half of the
sample train will be recovered with acetone per Method 5 procedures and the particulate matter will
be quantified gravimetrically after evaporation of the acetone. Comments regarding the filter
condition and the color of the particulate matter will be made on each data sheet. The back-half
of the sample train will be recovered and analyzed per EPA Method 202.
To perform the Method 202 back-half analysis, the impinger solutions are recovered into
a graduated cylinder. The impingers are rinsed with DI water and the rinses are combined with
the contents of the graduated cylinder and the final volume is recorded. The pH of each sample
is measured and recorded.
The condensible matter is quantified by performing a solvent extraction using a separatory
funnel on the remaining impinger solution. The impingers are given a final rinse with 75 ml of
CH2CI2, which are collected in a glass sample container for later use in the first extraction. Two
(2) additional 75 ml portions of CH2CI2 are used for a total of three (3) 75 ml extractions. The
organic layer is transferred to a tared 150 ml beaker and this beaker's contents are allowed to
evaporate in an evaporation chamber at ambient temperature to dryness, the beakers are desiccated,
then weighed to a constant weight. The water layer is transferred to a tared 150 ml beaker with
glass boiling beads and this beaker's contents are heated on a hot plate to boiling until
approximately 50 ml remain in the beaker. The remaining 50 ml in the beaker are evaporated to
dryness in an oven at 1050C. The following measurements are optional and not included in the
quote. The dried residue from the water layer for each sample is redissolved in 100 ml DI water.
The solution is titrated with 0.1 N ammonium hydroxide (NHPH) to a pH of approximately 7.0
and the evaporation step is repeated. Sulfuric acid (H2S04) present in the condensible particulate
matter is hydroscopic, which creates an erroneous particulate weight. The ammonium reacts with
the H2SO. in an acid-base reaction which occurs during the titration procedure allowing a more
accurate weight of condensible particulate matter to be obtained. Sample blanks containing DI
water and CH2CI2 are analyzed in an identical fashion as the representative "section". All beakers
are desiccated for at least 24 hours and weighed to constant weights of :1:0.5 milligrams (mg) after
their contents have evaporated.
The total particulate matter weight is the sum of the net weights of the particulate matter
found on the filter plus the net weights found in the beakers containing the sample, minus the
weight of the NH4 + added minus the acetone, water and methylene chloride blank concentrations.
Comments regarding the color of the contents of each beaker will be made on each data sheet.
Method 202 allows a correction only of the ammonium added during the titration procedure. The
mass of SO. - is calculated based on the known amount of NH. + added and is shown on the

individual computer printouts in the appendices, but is not used in the correction calculation. The
IC results for SO. - are used in the SO. - correction calculation which is allowed under permitting
standards. The SO. - corrected particulate matter weight is the final net weight minus the net
weight of the SO. -
2.6 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS FOR FLUE GAS METALS (Cd, Pb and Hg) - EPA
METHOD 29
EPA Method 29 will be used to collect Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) , and Mercury (Hg) stack
gas samples on both boilers. Three 120-min runs will be conducted. A reagent blank will be
recovered for blank correction.
The Method 29 sample train will consist of a glass nozzle and glass probe liner with a quartz
fiber filter and a Teflon filter support. The reagents placed in the impingers will most likely be as
follows: an empty first impinger, 100 mL of 5% HNQ'IO% HP2 in each of the second and third
impingers, the fourth will remain empty, 100 mL of acidic KMnO. in the fifth and sixth, and 200
grams of silica gel in the seventh impinger. In addition, a low metals quartz filter, such as Pallflex
2500QA T -UP, will be used. The filter will be placed between the probe exit and the first impinger
and the probe and filter will be maintained at a temperature of 248 :!: 25 F.
At the conclusion of sampling the train is leak checked and transported to the sample
recovery trailer. The probe and filter housing are removed and the impingers are weighed for EP A
Method 4 moisture determination. The front half of the sampling train (nozzle, probe, & front half
of the filter housing) will be brushed and rinsed with 100 mL of 0.1 N nitric acid into a uniquely
identified glass sample jar to recover the metals. The brush will be Teflon, The contents
(condensate & reagent) of the first three impingers will be placed in a uniquely identified glass
sample jar. The backhalf of the filter holder through the third impinger will then be rinsed into the
same uniquely identified glass sample jar using 100 mL of O.IN nitric acid solution. The fourth
imp inger's condensate will be placed into a separate uniquely identified glass sample jar, and the
impinger and connecting glassware will be rinsed with 100 mI of O.IM HNO, into the same jar.
The contents (condensate & reagent) of the fifth and sixth impingers will be placed in a uniquely
identified glass sample jar. The impingers and connecting glassware will then be rinsed into the
same uniquely identified glass sample jar using 100 mI of acidic KMnO . solution. After the
KMnO. rinse the impingers and connecting glassware will then be rinsed into the same uniquely
identified glass sample jar using 100 ml of Dr water. To remove residual brown deposits, the fifth
and sixth impingers will be rinsed with 25 ml of 8N HCL into a uniquely identified glass sample
jar containing 200 ml of Dr water.

procedures. SW-846 Methods will be used to determine metal concentrations.
2.7.3 Sample Analysis
The filter, filter rinses, the first three impinger catches and rinses, and the KMn04 impinger
reagent and rinse will be analyzed for mercury using cold vapor AA (CV AA).
Duplicate analyses will be performed on all mercury samples. In addition, a field blank,
reagent blanks, and a filter blank will be collected and analyzed. Spikes will also be added to
determine mercury recovery efficiencies.
2.8 HYDROGEN CHLORIDE - EPA METHOD 26A
The sampling and analytical procedures outlined in the EPA Method 26A will be used to
determine hydrogen chloride (HCL) emissions. The sampling train impinger system will contain
100 ml ofO.lN sulfuric acid in each of the fITst two impingers, 100 ml ofO.lN sodium hydroxide
in the third and fourth impingers, and 200 grams of silica gel in the fifth impinger. The optional
cyclone will not be used since the gas stream is not saturated with moisture. The optional knockout
impinger will not be used since the gas stream moisture is relatively low.
The nozzle and probe liner will be constructed of borosilicate glass of quartz. The filter
holder will be constructed of borosilicate glass with a Teflon frit filter support and a sealing gasket.
A quartz-fiber filter will be used. Nozzles, probe liners, and filter holders will be rinsed
thoroughly prior to testing.
This train is operated in the same manner as a regular EPA Method 5 sampling train.
Pretest preparations, preliminary determinations, and leak check procedures will be those outlined
in EPA Method 5. The average sampling rate for each run will be within :t 10% of 100%
isokinetic conditions. Each test run Will be a minimum of one (1) hours in duration and will sample
a minimum of 30 dry standard cubic feet. The probe and filter will be maintained at between 35B

Sample recovery will involve quantitative recovery of the sulfuric acid impinger contents,
followed by three rinses with deionized, distilled water of the impingers and all connecting
glassware. The back half of the filter holder and the connecting glassware to the first impinger will
also be rinsed three times with deionized, distilled water. The impinger contents and rinses will
be combined and sealed in a tare-weighed, precleaned glass sample container. The container will
be labeled, and weighed to determine the final sample volume. The liquid level will be marked on
the sample container.
The sulfuric acid impinger solutions will be analyzed using ion chromatography techniques
for chloride ions (Cr). Duplicate analyses will be performed on the samples and a reagent blank.
Precision will be demonstrated by duplicate injection of each sample, the results of each individual
analysis must be within 5 % of their mean to be acceptable. If the precision criteria is not met,
analysis of the sample is repeated until consecutive injections meet the criteria.
2.9 PCDDs/PCDFs - EPA METHOD 23
Samples for PCDD/PCDFs will be withdrawn isokinetically from the source using an EP A
Method 23 sampling train. Three 240 minute runs will be conducted. A field blank will be
collected.
The sampling train will consist of a glass-lined or Teflon-lined heat-traced probe with a
glass button hook nozzle, and attached thermocouple and pitot tube. The probe will be maintained
at a temperature of 248 OF + 250F. After leaving the probe, the sample gas will pass through a
heated glass fiber fIlter (Reeve Angel 934 AH), a water-cooled condenser, and a sorbent module
containing approximately 25 g of XAD-2 resin. The XAD module is followed by a series of five
impingers. The XAD inlet temperature is monitored to ensure that the temperature of the flue gas
sample entering the module is maintained below 20oC. This temperature will be maintained by
continuously circulating ice-chilled water through the condenser jacket and the jacket on the XAD
module. The first impinger, acting as a condensate reservoir, is connected to the outlet ofthe XAD
module and is modified with a short stem so that the sample gas did not bubble through the
collected condensate.
The first and fourth impingers are empty, the second and third contained 100 mL of distilled
water, and the fifth contains a known weight of silica gel. The impingers are weighed prior to
assembling the sampling train to permit gravimetric moisture determination. All sample-exposed
surfaces within the train will be made of glass or Teflon; no sealant greases will be used. The
impingers are followed by a standard Method 5-type pump, dry gas meter, and calibrated orifice
meter.
The glassware is cleaned according to the procedure in Table 2.1. The filter and XAD will
be predeaned for contamination according to procedures described in Method 23.

2.9.1 PCDD/PCDF Sampling Procedures
Sampling will be conducted isokinetically <.:t 10%) with readings of flue gas parameters
recorded at traverse points selected according to EPA Method I. Leak-checks on the Method 23
sampling train are performed before and after each sampling run and for any port change. In the
event that any portion of the train needed to be disassembled and reassembled (i.e., due to filter
or resin changes), leak-checks are performed. The sampling train leak-checks and leakage rate
(where applicable) are documented on the field test data sheet for each respective run. Allleak
checks will be acceptable.
Following each sampling run, the probes will be removed from the sampling train, the
openings will be capped, and the sampling train returned to the sample recovery area.
Blanks of reagents, XAD modules, and filters are collected. Reagent blanks of the recovery
solvents are collected directly out of the dispensing bottles employed during sample recovery. All
blank samples will be archived.
Following completion of each test run, the Method 23 trains will be transported to the
sample recovery area on site, out of the sunlight. The impingers and XAD-2 trap are weighed and
final and initial weights are compared to determine moisture catch and the impinger contents are
placed in a uniquely identified sample jar. Acetone followed by methylene chloride (MeC~) will
be used to conduct the initial rinses of the sampling train (front half components only, including
nozzle, probe and front half of filter holder). The same rinses are repeated in the back half
components of the train up to but not including the XAD-2 trap and placed in a uniquely identified
sample jar. These rinses are followed by a final toluene rinse (three times) which is kept separate
from the rest of the sample fraction for analysis (this is performed on all but the impingers, up to
the XAD-2 trap). All Method 23 samples will be stored at 40C until they are delivered to the
laboratory for analysis. After all components are recovered/rinsed the following sample jars will
be included/contained in a typical run recovery:

2.9.2 PCDD/PCDF Sample Analysis
The PCDD/PCDF train samples are analyzed for PCDD/PCDFs following EPA Method
23. The analysis of PCDD/PCDFs by high resolution gas chromatography coupled to high
resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) involves highly specialized procedures that require
a complex series of extraction and clean-up steps. These procedures are described in EP A Method
23. The actual analysis by HRGC/HRMS requires highly trained individuals and computerized data
acquisition and data interpretation.
To monitor the extraction, clean-up, and analysis of the PCDD/PCDFs, labeled internal
standards are added to the field samples and laboratory blanks. One set of labeled internal
standards as added for all the Soxhlet extraction steps and the recoveries of these standards is used
to adjust the results. The specific internal standards, surrogate standards, alternative standards, and
recovery standards that will be employed.
Once the trace organic compounds are identified and confirmed by the procedures described
above, the compounds will be quantified by comparison of the response factors of the sample
analytes to the response factors of known amounts of native trace organic compound external
standards. The recoveries of the internal standards, added to the Soxhlet extraction step, will be
then used to adjust the results of the corresponding native PCDD/PCDF's (i.e., 13C12-2,3,7,8-
TCDD recovery is used to adjust results for all native TCDD's and TCDF's).
For validating analytical data, the extraction and cleanup system is demonstrated to be free
of contamination. Method blanks and matrix blanks are analyzed.
Once the trace organic compounds are identified and confirmed by the procedures
2.10 VISUAL EMISSIONS - EPA METHOD 9
The opacity of emissions from stationary sources will determined visually by a qualified
observer. The qualified observer will stand at a distance sufficient to provide a clear view of the
emissions with the sun oriented in the 1400 sector to the observer's back. Consistent with
maintaining the above requirement, the observer will, as much as possible, make observations from
a position such that the observer's line of vision is approximately perpendicular to the plume
direction and, when observing opacity of emissions from rectangular outlets (e.g., roof monitors,
open baghouses, noncircular stacks), approximately perpendicular to the longer axis of the outlet.
The observer's line of sight should not include more than one plume at a time when multiple stacks

are involved, and in any case the observer will make his observations with a line of sight
perpendicular to the longer axis of such a set of multiple stacks (e.g., stub stacks on baghouses).
Opacity observations will be made at the point of greatest opacity in that portion of the
plume where condensed water vapor is not present. The observer will not look continuously at the
plume but instead shall observe the plume momentarily at 15-second intervals. When condensed
water vapor is present within the plume as it emerges from the emission outlet, opacity observations
will be made beyond the point in the plume at which condensed water vapor is no longer visible.
The observer will record the approximate distance from the emission outlet to the point in the
plume at which the observations are made. When water vapor in the plume condenses and becomes
visible at a distinct distance from the emission outlet, the opacity of emissions will be evaluated at
the emission outlet prior to the condensation of water vapor and the formation of the steam plume.
Opacity observations will be recorded to the nearest 5 percent at 15-second intervals on an
observational record sheet. A minimum of 24 observations will be recorded. Each momentary
observation recorded will be deemed to represent the average opacity of emissions for a 15-second
period.
The observations recorded on the record sheet will be divided into sets of 24 consecutive
observations. For each set of 24 observations, the average will be calculated by summing the
opacity of the 24 observations and dividing this sum by 24.
2,11 VISIBLE FUGITIVE EMISSIONS - EPA METHOD 22
Visible fugitive emissions will be monitored using EPA Method 22. Method 22 uses an
observer to determine the presence of visible fugitive emissions. The observer uses two
stopwatches, one to measure the total time of the test, and the second to record the amount of time
during the test when visible emissions are present.
The observer is not to observe for periods of more than 20 minutes without taking a rest
break. (EPA Method 22, section 5.4.2).
2,12 EQUIPMENT
DEECO has sufficient equipment to have all the sampling trains prepared prior to the start
of each day's testing. DEECO also has sufficient spares of other sample boxes and other equipment
to ensure that there are no extended delays due to sampling equipment malfunctions and waiting
for sample trains to be recovered.
D EECO will supply all required equipment and supplies including standard safety gear (hard
hats, safety glasses, and steel-toe boots).

4.3
FIELD SAMPLING OPERATIONS
The project manager will be responsible for ensuring that proper custody and documentation
procedures are followed for the field sampling and field analytical efforts. He will be assisted in
this effort by key sampling personnel involved in sampling recovery.
Samples will be collected, transported, and stored in clean containers which are constructed
of materials inert to the analytical matrix such as glass jars. Only containers which allow air tight
seals will be used. Amber glass jars will be employed when containers are needed to inhibit
photochemical reactions.
All sampling data, including information regarding sampling times, locations, and any
specific considerations associated with sample acquisition will be recorded on preformatted data
sheets. An example field sampling data form for an isokinetic type sampling train is shown in
Figure 4.2. An example sample recovery data form for an isokinetic type sampling train is shown
in Figure 4.3.
Following sample collection, all samples will be given a unique alphanumeric sample
identification code as shown in Figure 4.4. Actual sample code could vary slightly depending upon
sample location and type. Figure 4.5 is the chain of custody sheet which will accompany all
isokinetic type reagent boxes used during the testing program and process samples that are collected
during testing. The chain of custody forms will be completed for each shipment box. The chain
of custody forms and a letter specifying the treatment of each sample will also be enclosed in the
sample shipment container. Samples to be combined and analyzed immediately, extracted and
stored for later analysis, or simply stored as is, will be clearly stated in this letter. The purpose
of the letter will be to ensure that the correct samples are combined, that samples containing
moisture will be analyzed on an as-received basis, and that samples with a limited shelf life (those
containing water) are extracted within the allowable time of 7 to 10 days after collection.
Samples will be stored for transport from the lab to the field to the lab in storage boxes
constructed in a fashion which minimizes movement and thus prevents breakage of containers. For
example, boxes used for transporting glass containers will have foam inserts with form-fitting
cutouts. Sample transport boxes will be locked except when in use. Vans containing equipment
and samples will be locked whenever they are left unattended.

A daily activity log will be maintained by the project supervisor. This will be an informal
log used to record various types of information, such as minor problems which arise, sketches of
sampling locations, names and phone numbers of plant contacts. daily activity summaries, etc,
4.4 ANALYTICAL OPERATIONS
Analytical operations will be performed on-site in the laboratory as well as in the remote
laboratories. The analytical data form to be used for on-site fixed gas (molecular weight)
determinations using Orsat analyzer is shown in Figure 4.6, Samples analyzed by outside
laboratories are transported with a Chain-of-Custody form as shown in 4.5, This form will list
sample identifications, analytical parameters, sample matrices, anticipated date of results, and other
relevant information necessary to ensure the appropriate analyses are performed and to document
the progress of the samples.
4.5 INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS
Specific quality control (QC) procedures will be followed to ensure the continuous
production of useful and valid data throughout the course of this test program. The QC checks and
procedures described in this section represent an integral part of the overall sampling and analytical
scheme. Strict adherence to prescribed procedures is quite often the most applicable QC check.
A discussion of both the sampling and analytical QC checks that will be utilized during this
C program is presented below.
4.5.1 EQUIPMENT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Each item of field test equipment will be assigned a unique, permanent identification
number. An effective preventative maintenance program is necessary to ensure data quality. Each
item of equipment returning from the field will be inspected before it is returned to storage. During
the course of these inspections, items are cleaned, repaired, reconditioned, and recalibrated where
necessary.
Each item of equipment transported to the field for this test program will be inspected again
before being packed to detect equipment problems which may originate during periods of storage.
This minimizes lost time on the job site due to equipment failure.
Occasional equipment failure in the field is unavoidable despite the most rigorous inspection
and maintenance procedures. For this reason, replacement equipment for all critical sampling train
components will be transported to the job site.

4.5.2 EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION
New items for which calibration is required will be calibrated before initial field use.
Equipment whose calibration status may change with use or time will be inspected in the field
before testing begins and again upon return from each field use. When an item of equipment is
found to be out of calibration, it will be repaired and recalibrated or retired from service. All
equipment will be periodically recalibrated in full, regardless of the outcome of these regular
inspections .
Calibrations will be conducted in a manner, and at a frequency, which meets or exceeds
U.S. EPA specifications. The calibration procedures outlined in the EPA Methods will be
followed. When these methods are inapplicable, methods such as those prescribed by the American
Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) will be used.
Data obtained during calibrations will be recorded on standardized forms, which will be
checked for completeness and accuracy by the quality assurance manager. Data reduction and
subsequent calculations will be performed using computer facilities. Calculations will be checked
at least twice for accuracy. Copies of calibration forms will be included in the test or projects
reports.
Emissions sampling equipment requiring calibration includes pitot tubes, pressure gauges,
thermometers, dry gas meters and barometers. The following sections elaborate on the calibration
procedures to be followed for these items of equipment.
A: Pitot Tubes. All Type S pitot tubes used, whether separate or attached to a
sampling probe, will be constructed in-house or by Apex Corporation, Each new
pitot will be calibrated in accordance with the geometry standards contained in EP A
Method 2. A Type S pitot tube, constructed and positioned according to these
standards, will have a coefficient of 0.84 :t 0.02. This coefficient should not
change as long as the pitot tube is not damaged.
Each pitot tube will be inspected visually upon return from the field. If a cursory
inspection indicates damage or raises doubt that the pitot remains in accordance with
the EP A geometry standards, the pitot tube will be refurbished as needed and
recalibrated.
B:
Differential Pressure Gauge. All meter consoles used are equipped with lO-inch
water column (W.C.) inclined-vertical manometers. Fluid manometers do not
require calibration other than leak checks. Manometers will be leak checked in the
field prior to each test series, and again upon return from the field.

C: Impinger Thermometer. Prior to the start of testing, the thermometer used to
monitor the temperature of the gas leaving the last impinger will be compared with
a mercury-in-glass thermometer which meets ASTM E-I No. 63F specifications.
The impinger thermometer is adjusted if necessary until is agrees within 20F of the
reference thermometer. If the thermometer is not adjustable, it is labeled with a
correction factor.
D: Dry Gas Meter Thermometer. The thermometer used to measure the temperature
of the metered gas sample will be checked prior to each field trip against an ASTM
mercury-in-glass thermometer. The dry gas meter thermometer is acceptable if the
values agree within :t 5.40F. Thermometers not meeting this requirements will be
adjusted or labeled with a correction factor.
E:
Flue Gas Temperature Sensor. All thermocouples employed for the measurement
of flue gas temperature are calibrated upon receipt. Initial calibrations will be
performed at three points (ice bath, boiling water, and hot oil), An ASTM mercury-
in-glass thermometer will be used as a reference. The thermocouple is acceptable
if the agreement is within 1.5 percent (absolute) at each of the three calibration
points.
Before and after each field use, the reading from the flue gas thermocouple-
potentiometer combination will be compared with an ASTM mercury-in-glass
reference thermometer at ambient conditions. If the two agree within :t 1.5 percent
(absolute), the thermocouple and potentiometer are considered to be in proper
working order.
F: Dry Gas Meter and Orifice. Two procedures will be used to calibrate the dry gas
meter and orifice simultaneously. The full calibration will be a complete laboratory
procedure used to obtain the calibration factor of the dry gas meter. Full
calibrations will be performed over a wide range of orifice settings. A simpler
procedure, the pOSHest calibration, will be designed to check whether the
calibration factor has changed. PosHest calibrations will be performed after each
field test series at an intermediate orifice setting (based on the test data) and at the
maximum vacuum reached during the test.
A dry gas meter that is calibrated annually against a spirometer will be used as a
transfer standard. During the annual calibration, triplicate calibration runs will be
performed at seven flow rates ranging from 0.25 to 1.40 cfm.

G: Dry Gas Meter. Each metering system receives a full calibration at the time of
purchase and a post-test calibration after each field use. If the calibration factor,y,
deviates by less than five percent form the initial value, the test data are acceptable.
If y deviates by more than 5 percent, the meter is recalibrated and the meter
coefficient (initial or recalibrated) that yields the lowest sample volume for the test
runs is used.
EP A Method 5 requires another full calibration anytime the post-test calibration
check indicates that y changed by more than 5 percent. Standard practice is to
adjust and recalibrate the dry gas meter anytime y is found to be outside the range
of 0.97 to 1.03.
H: Orifice. An orifice calibration factor will be calculated for each flow setting during
a full calibration. Ifthe range of values does not vary by more than 0.15 in H 20
over the range of 0.4 to 4.0 in H20, the arithmetic average of the values obtained
during the calibration is used.
I:
Barometer. Each field barometer will be adjusted before each test series to agree
within :t 0.1 inches of a reference aneroid barometer. The reference barometer will
be checked against the station pressure value (corrected for elevation difference)
reported by the National Weather Service.
4.5.3 SAMPLING QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES
.The following pretest QC checks will be conducted:
.
All sampling equipment will be thoroughly checked to ensure clean and operable
components.
Equipment will be inspected for possible damage from shipment.
The oil manometer or Magnehelic gauge used to measure pressure across the Type
S pitot tube will be leveled and zeroed.

.
The multiple metals emission samples will be prepared for Cd, and Pb
analysis by acid digestion. For cadmium and lead, the front half components
of the train will be measured by FLAA and the back half components will
be measured by GFAA. Hg in the emission samples will be analyzed by
Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (CV AAS).
After evaporation of the acetone rinse, the probe rinse and particulate filter
will be subjected to microwave HNO /HF digestion in a pressure relief
vessel. The combined nitric acid/hydrogen peroxide impinger solution and
nitric acid rinse of the impingers will be reduced to near dryness and
digested with HN03. Finally the front and back half digestates will be
combined and analyzed for the target metals.
The GF AA, FLAA, and CV AA will be calibrated with three series of five
standard solutions containing the target metals ranging in concentration from
o to 100 ILg/mL (depending on the element).
A calibration check sample will be analyzed with every 10 samples.
A reagent blank will be carried through the procedure and analyzed with the
field samples.
Precision of the metals analyses will be demonstrated by duplicate analysis
of all the stack gas samples, with a RPD of 35% considered acceptable.
Accuracy of the metals analyses will be demonstrated by spikes of each type
of sample matrix. Spike recoveries must be between 70% and 130% to be
acceptable.
A PEA, consisting of a spiked filter, will be analyzed for metals if provided
by the regulatory agency.

In this project, the final data user will be WASTEC. The data quality objectives in this
project are to generate scientifically sound data to be used for compliance the Air Quality Permit.
All of the equipment to be used will be calibrated according to the procedures outlined in
the Oualitv Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Svstems, Volume III, EP A -600/4-
77-027b.
Specific quality control (QC) procedures will be followed to ensure the continuous
production of useful and valid data throughout the course of this test program. The QC checks and
procedures described in this section represent an integral part of the overall sampling and analytical
scheme. Strict adherence to prescribed procedures is quite often the most applicable QC check.
All analyses for this program will be performed using accepted laboratory procedures in
accordance with the specified analytical protocols. Adherence to prescribed QC procedures will
ensure data of consistent and measurable quality. Analytical QC will focus upon the use of control
standards to provide a measure of analytical precision and accuracy. Also, specific acceptance
criteria are defined for various analytical operations including calibrations, control standard
analyses, drift checks, blanks, etc.
Care will be exercised to ensure hand recorded data is written accurately and legibly.
Additionally, the use of prepared data recording forms, conveniently formatted, is an important aid
to verify that all necessary data items are recorded. The collected field and laboratory data will be
reviewed by the analyst and the Project Manager.
The Project Manager will reduce and validate all of the sampling and analytical data that
is collected. The sampling data will include flow measurements, calibrations, etc. Each laboratory
will reduce all analytical results prior to their submission to the Project Manager. The analytical
data will be used to determine concentrations and emission rates of the compounds of interest.
Data reduction follows guidelines published in EPA Reference Methods, where applicable,
and by guideline documents where EP A Reference Methods are not available. Validated computer
programs will be used to calculate all reported values.
A second technical review of the data will be performed and documented by a qualified
scientist other than the one who performed the actual analyses. The second reviewer will include
evidence (e.g., check marks, recalculations, etc.) that show which data points were checked.
