Each year Parsons ES conducts numerous assignments for government and
industrial clients that require expert technical service in all aspects of air quality
management including:
• Strategic Planning for Regulatory Compliance.
• Air Permitting.
• Development of Emission Inventories.
• Air Toxics Source Testing, Inventories, and Health Risk Assessments.
• Ambient Monitoring.
• Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling.
• Development of Air Pollution Control Plans.
• Development of (Air) Environmental Planning Documents (CEQA
documents).
1.2 GEOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE
Parsons ES proposes to conduct the City's project from its Pasadena Office. Our
local presence and familiarity with the CEQA and SCAQMD regulations, and project
location enables us to mobilize and begin work immediately upon receiving the notice to
proceed for the City's project. These will also speed-up the performance, reviews, and
approvals of the documents prepared in compliance with the CEQA and SCAQMD
regulations.
1.3 UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The City's proposed power plant will be located at the existing power generating
station in the City of Vernon. The total capacity of the existing power plant is about 20
megawatts (MW). The City is proposing to build the new power plant in two phases. In
the first phase, the City will install two simple cycle combustion turbine units. Each unit
would produce approximately 47.3 MW of power, and would fire primarily pipeline
grade natural gas. The combustion turbines will have dual fuel capability. In the event of
an emergency, the turbines would burn low sulfur No. 2 diesel fuel. These simple cycle
combustion units will be modified to combined cycle units in the second phase. The
power generating capacity of the combined cycle units will be about 120 MW.
The City has not made a final selection of the combustion turbine supplier.
However, it is expected that the General Electric's LM6000 Sprint would be the most
likely choice of the combustion turbine.
The City will be required to perform a CEQA analysis and obtain SCAQMD air
permits for the proposed power plant project. Thus, the City would like the selected
consultant to provide assistance in performing the CEQA analysis and in preparing the
SCAQMD air permit package.

As mentioned to Mr. Charles Montoya during the discussions on April 5, 2001,
Parsons ES would like to work as a team with ENSR Corporation for preparing the EIR
for the City's proposed power plant project. We are suggesting this arrangement because
we have recently successfully completed an EIR for the City of Los Angeles Department
of Water & Power's Electrical Generation Stations Modifications Project. Parsons ES
prepared the operational phase air quality impact analysis section of the EIR. The
remaining sections of the EIR were prepared by ENSR Corporation. Parsons ES is also
currently working with ENSR Corporation under a similar arrangement to prepare the
operational phase air quality impact analysis section of the EIR for LADWP's Valley
Generation Station Repowering Project. Parsons ES is therefore proposing to only
prepare the operational phase air quality impact analysis section of the EIR. The
remaining sections of the EIR will be prepared by ENSR Corporation. We understand
that ENSR Corporation has been requested by the City to submit a separate proposal for
the preparation of the remaining sections of the EIR.
In addition to preparing the air quality section of the EIR, Parsons ES also
provided assistance to the LADWP in preparing the SCAQMD air permit package for all
the three LADWP projects. This task was performed directly by Parsons ES for the
LADWP. Parsons ES is therefore proposing to prepare the complete SCAQMD air
permit package for the City's proposed power project. Parsons ES is currently working
under a similar arrangement for the LADWP's Valley Repowering Project.

SECTION 2
APPROACH
The following is a detailed write-up that describes our approach to perform the
two tasks required by the City of Vernon for the proposed power plant project. This
approach is based on our experience of preparing CEQA analyses and preparing air
permit application packages for numerous projects located in the South Coast Air Basin
(under the jurisdiction of SCAQMD). These projects include the recently completed
CEQA analysis and air permit packages prepared for the LADWP's Electrical Generation
Stations Modifications Project (Harbor, Scattergood, and Valley Generating Stations),
and the analyses, which are being performed for the LADWP's Valley Repowering
project. It is important to mention here that the recently completed LADWP projects
involved the installation of 47.3 MW capacity simple cycle combustion turbines at the
Harbor and Valley stations. In addition, the Valley Repowering project would involve the
installation of two combined cycle combustion turbine units, with a total power
generation capacity of about 500 MW.
2.1 GENERAL APPROACH
To successfully complete the project goals we will:
• Build on our SCAQMD relationships and the recent work we performed for
similar projects (e.g., LADWP's simple cycle combustion turbine projects at
the Harbor and Valley Generating Stations; and the ongoing Valley
Repowering project).
• Present options to the City at every stage, for there are usually many ways of
accomplishing any desired goal. We will also recommend, what, in our view,
should be the course of action, but will naturally defer to the City for the final
decision.
• Recommend to the City staff a strategic framework for obtaining SCAQMD
permits prior to expending significant resources on technical details. We
believe the CEQA air quality impact analysis section should address the
impacts of the complete project (i.e. Phases I and 11, including the combined
cycle project). In addition, the SCAQMD air permit application package
should be prepared for the complete project. We make this suggestion
because the worst -case air quality impacts are expected during the operation of
the combined cycle power plant (due to the lower stack exhaust temperature).
• Validate critical assumptions with the City prior to using them as a basis for
calculations or compliance assessment.

U,
• Maintain constant communication with the City throughout the project, both
on project management as well as on strategic and technical issues.
• Assist the City in interfacing with the regulatory agencies.
We believe that this approach will minimize cost, provide quality products, and
meet all project requirements.
2.2 TECHNICAL APPROACH
Provided below is a detailed write-up describing our technical approach to
successfully complete the tasks identified in Section 1 for the City's power plant project.
2.2.1 Perform CEQA Air Quality Analysis
Parsons ES will perform the following sub -tasks for conducting the CEQA
operational phase air quality impact analysis:
• . Identify applicable rules and regulations.
• Estimate facility emissions (criteria pollutants as well as air toxics regulated
under SCAQMD's Rule 1401).
• Describe significance criteria.
• Perform impact analysis for project operation.
• Develop mitigation measures, if adverse project impacts are identified.
The following paragraphs describe in detail our proposed technical approach for
these sub -tasks:
Identify Applicable Rules and Regulations: We will identify and describe the
applicable rules and regulations for the proposed power plant. .
Estimate Facility Emissions (Criteria Pollutants and Air Toxics): Parsons ES
will estimate the emissions of criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, particulate
matter of diameter less than 10 microns, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and
volatile organic compounds) and air toxics regulated under SCAQMD's Rule
1401 from the entire project. We will perform these emission estimates using the
best available control technology guidelines for the combustion turbines, available
test data for similar units, and SCAQMD and United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) approved emissions factors. For air toxics, we will
use the latest California Air Resources Board and SCAQMD approved emission
factors. We will develop the emissions estimates for various operating scenarios
for the combustion turbines, including initial commissioning, start-up, normal
operation, shut down, and diesel fuel readiness testing.
Describe Significance Criteria: The SCAQMD has established significance
criteria in terms of criteria pollutant emissions as well as in terms of ambient air
concentrations of the emitted pollutants. During the preparation of the LADWP
EIR, the impacts of 1-hr average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations were
found to be significant. This impact analysis was based on the existing
2-2
CV. ropM1s%VemonASWU0N2.DOC 4/16/01
significance criterion (1-hr average NO2 concentration limit of 20 µglm). Based
on the technical data presented by Parsons ES and LADWP, SCAQMD has now
decided to revise the existing NO2 significance criteria. It is expected that the
SCAQMD rules revising the NO2 significance criteria for attainment areas will be
adopted within a month. The revised NO2 standard (higher concentration
standard) would reduce the probability of occurrence of significant impacts during
the operation of the City of Vernon's power plant. We will use the revised
significance criteria for the air quality impact analysis for the City's power plant
project.
Perform Air Quality Impact Analysis for Project Operation: The air quality
impact analysis requires the comparison of project -generated criteria pollutant
emissions with the emission thresholds established by the SCAQMD. Air
dispersion modeling is also required to be performed to estimate the increase in
ambient air concentrations of various criteria pollutants emitted by the project
during the operational phase. Air toxics health risk assessment is also required as
part of the CEQA air quality impact analysis. Parsons ES will perform air
dispersion modeling and air toxics health risk assessments using the USEPA and
SCAQMD approved air dispersion model (ISCST3) and health effects model
(ACE2588) with appropriate meteorological data. These models were also used
for the recently completed EIR for the LADWP electrical generation stations
modifications project.
We will use the results of the air dispersion modeling and health risk assessments
to assess the impacts of the air pollutants, which may be emitted from the proposed power
plant. The results of these studies along with the first three sub -tasks will be presented in
the EIR.
2.2.2 Prepare the SCAQMD Air Permit Application Package
Parsons ES will prepare the complete air permit application package for the power
plant project. The air permit application package will consist of Applicant Information,
Equipment Description and Purpose, Emissions Data, BACT Analysis, Evaluation and
SCAQMD Rule Review, Criteria Pollutant Emissions Offsets Analysis, and
Supplemental Information. The Equipment Description and Purpose will consist of an
overall project description, control equipment discussion, drawings, history of the site,
and a compliance record review. The SCAQMD Rule Review will consist of an
evaluation of all potentially, applicable federal and SCAQMD rules and regulations. In
this main section, we would include items such as Regulation XIII, Regulation XIV,
Regulation XVII, and Regulation XX analyses. Supplemental Information will include
SCAQMD permit forms, equipment location drawings, project schedule and any other
pertinent information such as manufacturer guarantees and documentation.
As previously indicated, Parsons ES has recently completed a similar project for
the LADWP. The information and experience gained from that project will prove
invaluable to the City.
2-3
CAPMP0S21AVemon\SEC710N2.D0C
4/16101
Based on our recent experience, we believe that Regulation XVII, Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD), may not apply to the City of Vernon power plant project.
It is our understanding that the existing facility is not a major source as defined by the
PSD rules and regulations. Preliminary information suggests that the proposed combined
cycle combustion turbines will not be classified as a major source under Regulation XVII.
Thus, the extensive analysis required as part of the PSD analysis is not expected to be
required for the City's power plant project.
As part of the compliance analysis with various SCAQMD rules and regulations,
we will perform additional air dispersion modeling and health risk assessments. In
addition, we will perform modeling analysis for visibility to show compliance with
SCAQMD Rules 1303 and 2005.
2.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE
Parsons ES understands that the City of Vernon will be on a fast track schedule
once the City decides to proceed with the project. It is also understood that the California
Energy Commission has committed to grant approval of the project in four months after
submission of the project application. Parsons ES is making a commitment to start
working on the project immediately after receiving the signed copy of the attached
Engineering Services Agreement (provided on page 2-5). Parsons ES is also making a
commitment to meet the project schedule for preparing the EIR and air permit package.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ANALYSIS
■ AND AIR PERMITTING EXPERIENCE
Parsons ES has specialized in air quality impact analysis and air permitting for
over 25 years, serving clients in the electrical power generation industry, chemical plants,
refineries, consumer products, and various other industries. Having worked with both
private and government sector clients, as well with regulatory agencies, we are thoroughly
familiar with all aspects of the CEQA process and air permitting process.
The following sections summarize recent Parsons ES relevant project experience.
3.1 AIR PERMITTING EXPERIENCE
The success of Parsons ES in permitting derives in part from a long and successful
history in the air quality permitting process. We have successfully secured hundreds of
air emission permits and approval actions for industrial and government clients from the
SCAQMD. These permits and approval actions include Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) and New Source Review (NSR) permits, state operating permits, and
state regulatory approval for everything from major new facilities to minor plant
operating changes. Our permitting experience includes intimate understanding of the
regulatory agency's point of view. Table 3-1. summarizes Parsons ES experience on
permitting projects. The following written summaries briefly describe Parsons ES recent,
representative air permitting experience:
Parsons ES Air Quality Workshops - The staff of our Pasadena office presented
workshops in 1994 and 1996 to familiarize attendees with general requirements of the
rules adopted by the California Air Districts, including the SCAQMD to implement Title
V. Staff presentations were supplemented by senior SCAQMD officials. We presented
another workshop on April 26, 2000 on Air Issues 2000 — An Air Quality and
Environmental Management Systems Forum. Two senior SCAQMD officials were the
key speakers at this workshop.
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Harbor Electrical Generation
Station Modification Project - Air Quality Analysis and Permitting Support -
LADWP proposes to install five 47-MW dual fuel -fired simple cycle combustion
turbines at the Harbor Generating Station, each with a Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) system that will use aqueous ammonia to reduce oxides of nitrogen emissions in
the presence of a catalyst. Parsons ES was contracted to perform the air quality impact
analysis for the EIR, which was prepared to comply with CEQA requirements. As part of
this analysis, emissions of criteria as well as air toxics were estimated for construction
