· Answers to Your CCR and ELG Questions in “Hot Topic” Webinar Next Week

Power plants are facing huge expenditures to meet new wastewater effluent guidelines and coal combustion residue rules which are still being finalized. The webinar next Thursday at 10 a.m. CDT is designed to help utilities understand the issues and to help them with their decisions to address these new rules. The following panelists will be offering their insights:

William (Bill) Betke, Director, Business Development, Coal Ash, GSE Environmental

Douglas J. Dahlberg, Project Associate, Civil Support Services, Sargent & Lundy LLC

Proactive discussions rather than passive listening will be the modus operandi. The panelists will lead but participants are asked to familiarize themselves with data on the dedicated CCR and Effluent website CCR and Effluent Continuous Analyses.

Another unique feature of this initiative is to use the Global Decisions Positioning System™ (GDPS) analysis technique. There are a number of decisions to be made. They can be likened to stops on a trip. The route is complex because the information learned at one stop requires back tracking to the previous stop and applying the newly learned information. McIlvaine is simulating the role of a GPS in guiding the decision maker on this complex trip. Here is the route map.

The ELG regulations will be issued first and will shape the CCR decisions, so this is a starting point. However, it may be necessary to review the ELG regulations in light of any CCR regulatory insights. If the utility is also installing FGD systems there will be a major impact on both effluent and CCR. Bottom ash and flyash handling and wastewater treatment are all part of the route.

The webinar on June 26 is free to power plant operators and McIlvaine subscribers. There is a charge for others. To register for the “Hot Topic Hour”, click on:
