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 10:00 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
Dale Timmons, R.G., Business Development Program Manager, NAES Corporation
Douglas J. Dahlberg, Project Associate, Civil Support Services, Sargent & Lundy
LLC
Mark Rokoff, National Practice Lead for CCR's, URS Corporation
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.
Decision Trees in ELG-CCR GDPS Route Map:
ELG Regulations CCR Regulations
Wet Air Pollution Control Bottom Ash Handling
Wastewater Treatment Flyash Handling
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.

CEOs have slightly lower expectations for U.S. gross domestic product growth
than they did last quarter, according to a new survey.
The Business Roundtable survey showed chief executives forecast GDP growth of

remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Columbia
Colombia’s economy grew at the fastest pace in more than two years in the first
quarter, beating all analysts’ forecasts, after a surge in government spending
ahead of President Manuel Santos’ re-election. Bond fell on expectations of
higher interest rates.
Gross domestic product grew 6.4% from the year earlier, the national statistics
agency said, compared with 4.9% in the previous three months. Growth was faster
than forecast by all 27 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. GDP grew 2.3% from the
previous quarter. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
China
Nearly every story about China’s extraordinary growth over the past 30 years
asserts two things as a given:
a. China has grown about 10% a year for 30 years, and
b. China’s long-term growth record in unsurpassed in modern history. (The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
India
After two consecutive years of sub-5% growth, the Indian economy is expected to
recover and expand 5.2% in the first quarter of this financial year, according
to a Dun & Bradstreet report. (The remaining text is not included in this
sample.)
Japan
The Japanese government raised its economic growth reading for the first
quarter, saying that capital spending was sharply higher than initially thought.
Gross domestic product increased at an annualized rate of 6.7% in the January to
March period from the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said, revising its
initial estimate of a 5.9% expansion. The result, adjusted for price changes,
marked (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Dubai
Dubai’s economy expanded 4.6% year on year in 2013, up from 4.1% in 2012
according to Dubai Statistics Centre (DSC).
The DSC report showed that the fastest growing sector in Dubai last year was
once again hospitality, which recorded 13% growth, the third consecutive year of
double-digit growth in this sector. (The remaining text is not included in this
sample.)
Ireland
GDP will grow by 2% this year and 2.4% next year on the back of rising exports
and the first increase in consumer spending since the recession began, according
to the EY Economic Eye. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
Nigeria
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has said the
recent rebasing of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) will support its
quest to be among the top 20 nations by 2020.
According to Emefiele, the exercise which placed the size of the Nigerian
economy as first in Africa and 26th in the world would also afford the country a
more positive sovereign rating by international rating agencies such as the
Standard and Poor's, Fitch Ratings, (The remaining text is not included in this
sample.)
Russia
Russia's gross domestic product growth forecast of 0.5% for 2014 may be revised
upwards in September due to the slowing pace of a decline in investment, Economy
Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said.
"For now our official (forecast) for this year is 0.5%, but most likely we will
revise it in September, most likely upwards," Ulyukayev told journalists. (The
