the CTGs will be addressed by the AQMD in the permitting
process.)
6. Negotiate with the "Water Board" for use of reclaimed
water for Phase II, Combined Cycle Operation. MGS CTGs use 52
gallons per minute in simple cycle phase. The Clean Water Act
requires use of potable water as a last resort. CEC wants
stated commitment for use of reclaimed water in Phase II.

(SHPO) in Sacramento for an evaluation of the Station "A
Building's. eligibility to the California Register of Historic
Resources. Historic resources over 45 years in age must be
evaluated, including the operating Johnson & Heinze diesel
generators and control room.
(B) Avoid the Station "A" Building during construction.
Discuss with SHPO any modifications planned and mitigation
measures associated with the Building and its contents. The
Station "A" Building is considered potentially eligible for
listing in the California Register of Historic Resources.
(C) Develop a program to address long-term avoidance or
preservation of cultural resources. This program must state
how avoidance will be achieved, both during construction
(e.g., through redesign of the project, fencing, flagging, or
monitoring) and during operation (e.g., throughanemployee
awareness program and/or monitoring).
0 Page 2
(D) Hire a consultant to prepare a report documenting
the Station "A" Building's historical significance; submit to
SHPO for their determination of status.
(E) Contact those groups identified by Native American
Heritage Commission (NAHC) as having traditional or cultural
affiliation in the project area for comment prior to

qualified archaeologist before work commences to aid in
reducing inadvertent or intentional damage to archaeological
sites, features and objects. The training must describe the
types of archaeological sites and historic properties in the
area, mitigation measures on the project avoidance techniques,
and regulatory requirements.
(G) If cultural resources are encountered during
project construction activities, work must be halted or
diverted to allow an archaeologist an opportunity to assess
the resource. (see CEQA, Section 15064.5.)
(H) Contact County Coroner if human remains are

SUBJECT: Malburg Generating Station Project - Permit to Construct and Title V Applications
Since my memo to you on the same subject dated July 26, 2001, the exact permit processing fees
have been determined by the AQMD for this application, they total $13,388.64; the original
estimate was approximately $10,000. These fees include charges for the various equipment
items the City is installing for the Malburg Generating Station Project.
In addition, the AQMD and the City's consultant, Parsons, have revised the application
submission schedule with the AQMD. After Council approval on August 1, 2001, the City will
submit on Thursday, August 2, 2001, a Permit to Construct. The City will submit a Title V
Application to the AQMD in approximately six months rather than on August 2, 2001 as
originally scheduled.

Re: Malburg Generating Station - Air Quality Management
District Permit Applications
Dear Bruce:
I recommend you execute the attached letter to the Air Quality
Management District ("AQMD") and Form 400-XPP, in regards to the
permit applications for the Malburg Generating Station.
The letter incorporates the responses requested by AQMD to make
the City's applications complete. We have drafted the
appropriate additional information required, in conjunction with
the City's AQMD consultants, Parsons, in order to obtain a
letter from AQMD stating to the City that the information
necessary for the AQMD to complete a Determination of Compliance
has been received.
Chuck Montoya, Parsons and I met with the AQMD today to
thoroughly discuss what additional information was required to
complete the permit applications. AQMD represented to us that
they could issue the letter within the week if the information
was submitted to them by Wednesday, January 9, 2002.
~ Mr. Bruce V. Malkenhorst
January 8, 2002

In addition, I request that you sign AQMD Form 400-XPP to
authorize express permit processing and pay the AQMD additional
fees, pursuant to District Rule 301(y). The City would be
billed for the hourly overtime the AQMD would incur working on
the City's file. The additional fees incurred for AQMD staff
time could reach several thousand dollars, however, the City's
potential benefit for receiving its permits early will
significantly exceed that sum of money.
I look forward to discussing this matter with you at your
earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Eric Fresch
Legal Counsel

Malburg Generating Station Response to SCAQMD Comments
RESPONSE TO THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT COMMENTS ON THE PERMIT APPLICATIONS FOR THE
PROPOSED MALBURG GENERATING STATION CONSTRUCTION
(ID#014502)
The following are the responses to the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) comments on the Permit Application for the proposed Malburg
Generating Station (Ref: SCAQMD letter dated January 3, 2002 addressed to Ramon
Abueg):
A. AQUEOUS AMMONIA STORAGE TANK" N394157)
Comment 1: Tank drawings.
Response: The City of Vernon is in the process of finalizing the vendor for
the ammonia tank. The tank drawings will be provided as soon as the vendor is
finalized and tank drawings are received from the vendor. A description of the
ammonia tank proposed to be purchased is provided in Section 2 of the
"Application to Construct and Opearte." This information is also reproduced
below.
An 8,000-gallon aqueous ammonia tank will be installed to provide approximately
7-day supply of aqueous ammonia. The ammonia tank will be 10 feet in diameter and 15
feet high and will sit on a concrete berm that will be 30 feet wide and 15 feet wide. The
berm will be 3 feet high, giving a surge volume of 8,330 gallons, sufficient to hold the
entire 8,000-gallon tank capacity. The extra 330 gallons of berm capacity would be
sufficient to hold an additional volume of precipitation falling at the rate of one -inch per
hour for one hour. The drain rate from the tank pad to the adjoining truck ramp would be
higher than the maximum rainfall event. The ammonia tank will be equipped with a
pressure relief valve set at 15 psig, a vapor equalization system, a carbon filter vent, and a
vacuum breaker system. The storage tank will be maintained at ambient temperature and
atmospheric pressure.
The ammonia delivery truck unloading station will include a bermed and sloped
pad surface sitting above a reinforced, underground, lined concrete catch basin. The
bermed truck drainage pad will be 40 feet long by 10 feet wide, sloping from both ends to
a center collection trough that will drain into the underlying basin. The ammonia catch
basin dimensions will be 20 feet long by 10 feet wide by 7 feet deep, sufficient to hold
9,000 gallons with 1 foot of freeboard. Floatation covers will be used in the catch basin
to inhibit free evaporation of ammonia.
Comment 2: A description and drawings of the vapor balance system.
Response: The City of Vernon is in the process of finalizing the vendor for
the ammonia tank and the vapor balance system. A detailed description and
drawings of the vapor balance system will be provided as soon as the vendor is
KAReports\R1382 (Vernon -Combined Cycle)\Permit\.SCAQMD.doc 1/9/02
Malburg Generating Station Response to SCAQMD Comments
finalized and drawings are received from the vendor. The City of Vernon will
ensure that the ammonia system is provided with a vapor balance system. Please
note that ammonia balance system will be used only during the transfer of
aqueous ammonia from delivery truck to the ammonia tank.
Comment 3: A complete MID of the system.
Response: The City of Vernon is in the process of finalizing the vendor for
the ammonia system. A complete MID of the system will be provided as soon as
the vendor is finalized and P&D is received from the vendor. The preliminary
MID for the ammonia system is provided in Attachment 1. The City of Vernon
will ensure that the ammonia system, which will be procured for the Malburg
Generating Station will be in compliance with all the applicable standards and
codes.
B. EMERGENCY IC ENGINES (A/Ns 394158, 394159, 394160, 394161, 394162)
Comment 1: The earlier application that changed the duty of the units to
emergency IC engines have these engines listed as Two Cycle. The current
applications list them as Four Cycle. Please clarify.
Response: We have reviewed the IC engine specifications and have
determined that these are Two Cycle engines. The revised pages for Form 400-E-
13 reflecting this change are provided in Attachment 7.
Comment 2: Engines are currently being limited to 0.05% sulfur by weight, with
the exception of fuel in storage as of October 1, 1993. Has this fuel been used or
otherwise disposed?
Response: The fuel that was in storage in October 1993 has been
used/disposed.
Comment 3: What is the purpose of requiring a diesel fuel limit of 50 ppm by
weight?
Response: This change is being made to limit the facility SO2 potential to
emit to less than 4 tons/year after the modification (installation of combustion
turbines).
Comment 4: Please provide MSDS or manufacturer information sheet on the
proposed low sulfur fuel to be used in these engines.

as soon as it is received from the vendor. However, the City of Vernon will ensure that
vendor complies with the NOx and NH3 emission limits of 2 ppmvd (1-hr average) and 5
ppmvd (1-hr average), respectively.
F. TITLE V (AIN 394168) AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Comment 1: Rule 1401 analysis for all proposed cooling towers. Be advised
that if the MICR is greater than 1.OX10"6, a separate permit for eth cooling towers is
required.
Response: The total facility risk, including the 2 combustion turbines and the
cooling tower was estimated at 0.86 in a million. The details of this risk analysis are
presented in Attachment 2 of the "Application for Permit to Construct and Operate."
Additional health risk analysis performed for only the cooling tower indicated that the
MICR would be 0.86 in a million, which is less than 1.Ox10-6. Please note that cooling
tower is the most significant contributor to the MICR for the Malburg Generating Station.
Since the risk from the cooling tower will be less than 1 W O-6, it will be exempt from
the SCAQMD permitting requirements.

Slant -Rib Coalescing Oil/Water Separator
For minimum space and maximum separation efficiency
SRC250 mid -sized unit.
Since 1978, Great Lakes Environmental
(GLE) has been a leader and innovator of
industrial wastewater treatment equipment.
Today, GLE provides industry's broadest
line of oil/water separators for flows from
2 to 1,200 GPM in a single tank and
various treatment options for higher flows.
The slant -rib coalescing design is the
separator most often specified because of
its compactness, reliability and through-
put. The SRC removes free, non -emulsi-
fied oil and settleable solids to produce
an effluent with 10 mg/! (maximum) of
oil droplets 20 micron or larger.
on%l..,, amaze size wun mgn e, jjrctency.
The heart of the system is the separation
chamber with an oleophilic slant -rib
coalescing pack. Before the influent
reaches the separation chamber, it is
directed through a
non -clogging dif-
fuser that distrib-
utes flow evenly
and allows large
solids to drop out
before they inter-
fere with the pro-
cesses within the
media pack.
As the liquid travels through the slant -rib
media pack, droplets adhere to the ribbed
pack and merge with other droplets creat-
ing larger oil droplets that break free and
rise rapidly to the surface. The design of
the media pack and the oil attracting
characteristics of the PVC media ensure
the highest degree of surface contact and
coalescing efficiency.
The separated oil accumulates at the
surface of the separation chamber where
it displaces the water. As the oil layer
increases, oil spills over a weir into an
oil reservoir and flows by gravity or is
pumped to storage tanks.
Solids are also removed in the slant -rib
media pack. The 550 inclination angle of
the ribs is optimal for solids settling. As
the solids slide from rib to rib, they
gather mass and velocity until they drop
off into the sludge chamber located
directly beneath the separation chamber.
The sides of the sludge chamber are
sloped 45° to insure easy and complete
sludge removal.
After the oil and solids have been
removed, the water flows under an oil
retention baffle and then over an adjust-
able weir into the clean water effluent
chamber,. The water is discharged by grav-
ity through a single flanged connection.
GLE's Model SRC is highly, efficient
and, as a result, can handle twice the
volume in 20% the length of comparably
rated gravity separators. GLE sales
engineers are experts in industrial waste-
water treatment and have the products,
options and knowledge to reduce your
discharge problems.
Design Options:
• Coalescing media of polypropylene,
PVC, CPVC and stainless steel
• Inlet feed pumps
• Dense coalescing pack
• Water pump -out system

The proposed MGS will include two gas combustion turbine
generators (the "CTG") that will burn natural gas and a steam
turbine generator (the "STG") driven with steam produced by two
heat recovery steam generators (the "HRSGs"). Each CTG and STG
will be connected to one of three separate electric generators.
The new generation will be connected to the existing 69 Kilovolt
(KV) bus in the Vernon Substation on the plant site. The power
generated by these three generators will be distributed through
the existing Vernon Substation and transmission lines.
