CASE STUDIES ABOUT THE TECHNICAL

EXPERTISE & SKILL SETS of

EMMETT POINDEXTER

PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THE CASE STUDIES SHOWN HERE IS TO GIVE YOU A TANGIBLE

IDEA OF MY TECHNICAL ABILITIES, SKILL SETS AND AREAS OF EXPERTISE. PLEASE

APPRECIATE THAT ALL OF THESE PARTICULAR CASE STUDIES ARE WRITTEN FROM

MY DIRECT WORK IN RELATION TO EACH CASE STUDY TOPIC.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TOPICS:

AIR QUALITY PERMITTING Possibly the most important area of environmental permitting for an energy facility may be the air

permitting process. The process may be expensive, time consuming and certainly in the public eye.

PSD/NSR,

The first step in air quality permitting is a review the expected emissions levels of the proposed facility. If

they are above the emission source jurisdiction of the area then they are “Major Source”. A majors

source will either be within an “Attainment area” or a “Non-Attainment area”. An area meeting a given

emission standard is known as an "attainment area" for that standard, and otherwise a "non-attainment

area". An attainment area requires a New Source Review (NSR); non-attainment area requires a

Prevention of Significant Deterioration review (PSD). These reviews will determine the maximum

allowable emissions for the project.

Major source reviews entail detailed application data and complex air modeling programs. Air modeling

can reveal the effect on the existing air shed; the impact on visibility; compliance with State Renewable

Portfolio Standard’s if any.

MAJOR/MINOR SOURCE

If the expected emission levels are below major source thresholds the facility is a “Minor Source”. A

potential major source may impose federally enforceable emission reduction limits to make it a minor

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

2

source. A minor source will generally have a faster permitting time and lower emissions fees. Common

minor source may obtain Permit by rule, a fast track permitting process.

TITLE V

Title V Operating Permits are required for combustion processes, i.e., natural gas, biomass, gasification,

landfill gas, coal & oil. They require detailed application preparation, regulatory negotiations. The

ensuing permits require emissions inventory reporting (EIQ), integration with CEM's programming,

compliance training, and Responsible Official notification.

TITLE IV

Title IV Acid Rain permits are required for Coal and Oil fueled facilities which have SO2 in their

emissions profile. This is a simple straight forward permit application preparation. The Designated

Representative must be notified.

STACK EMISSIONS TESTING.

FAA

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that stack heights be reviewed and approved. Generally,

the closer to an airport the stack is the more limitations, i.e., height. Cosmetic appeal may be reviewed

also.

WATER QUALITY Water is a precious commodity and reclaiming or recycling is always considered. A moderate sized

facility can easily consume millions of gallons per day (mgpd). If the processed water cannot be reused, it

must be disposed of properly.

NPDES

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems ( NPDES) permit application program will help

determine the best way(s) to dispose of process water waste along with pretreatment requirements. The

better the waste water quality, the more options there may be. The more desirable or least expensive ways

to discharge will be into an existing sewer system or nearby water body such as a stream, lake or river.

The ensuing permits require regulatory negotiations, periodic reporting, integration with facility EH&S

procedures, compliance training.

Zero Discharge

“Zero Discharge” implies that the process wastewater will not leave the facility property or endanger the

environment. The Zero Discharge permit applies to dams and evaporation ponds.

Disposal well

When no other practical process wastewater disposal method is available, a deep injection disposal well

may offer a solution. Disposal well must not endanger the drinking water aquifers in any way and as such

must be safely drilled to permeable formations below the drinking water table. Disposal well injection

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

3

permit applications may create high profile public issues because to the sensitivity to drinking water. A

disposal well may be a new well or depleted oil or gas well. The purpose of which waste fluids can be

injected for safe disposal. Disposal wells typically are subject to regulatory requirements to avoid the

contamination of freshwater aquifers.

WETLANDS IDENTIFICATION & MITIGATION

Wetlands are an area of land whose soil is saturated with moisture either permanently or seasonally

including swamps, marshes, and bogs, among others and serve as natural water purification systems.

Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems and provide refuge for many

plant and animal life forms which may often become the subject of conservation efforts and biodiversity

action plans.

The wetlands identification process can be an important activity for siting the facility and determining

accessory routes such as pipelines, transmission, roads and driveways.

FLOODPLAIN EVALUATION

A Floodplain is a relatively flat section of land along side of, or in the actual path of a stream or river that

floods on a regular basis, sometimes only once a year or less. Floodplains in arid areas may be

unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Floodplains must be identified so that no part of a facility may be

adversely affected by the threat of unexpected rising water. Building on a floodplain is not recommended

but if mandatory extreme and expensive preventative measures must be dealt with. Floodplain evaluation

will include alternative solution processes.

SURFACE WATER

Surface water is often a valuable commodity protected by existing water rights. The cost of water is an

important factor in evaluation of a particular location, especially when millions of gallon per day may be

involved. Surface water withdrawal evaluation process and associated permits can make or break a

project.

NEPA -NATIONAL/STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a United States environmental law that established

policy promoting the enhancement of the environment. It’s most significant effect was to set up

Environmental Assessments (EA’s) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS’s).

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EA)

An environmental impact assessment is an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that a

proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic

aspects. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing

environmental impacts when deciding whether to proceed with a project. Hopefully, the initial EA will

determine a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and the project may move forward. If the EA

identifies significant impact an Environmental Impact Statement may be required. Phase I, II, (and III

remediation reviews).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS)

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

4

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document required by the NEPA for certain actions

"significantly affecting the quality of the human environment". An EIS is a tool for decision making. It

describes the positive and negative environmental effects of a proposed action, and it usually also lists

one or more alternative actions that may be chosen instead of the action described in the EIS. The purpose

of NEPA is to promote informed decision-making by federal agencies by making "detailed information

concerning significant environmental impacts" available to both agency leaders and the public

However, if an impact is discovered, the more extensive effort of an EIS must come into play. NEPA

involves a complex, usually two step application preparation process, legal counsel integration, and will

entail long term project affect and commitments. An EIS acts as an enforcement mechanism to ensure that

the federal government adheres to the goals and policies outlined in the NEPA.

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (ESA)

The threatened and endangered species program comes from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and was

designed to protect critically imperiled species from extinction as a "consequence of economic growth

and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation. “Threatened and Endangered

Species study initiation and review.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL (SHPO)

The archaeological and historical program comes from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and

was created to include surveying and recognizing historic properties, reviewing nominations for

properties to be included in the National Register of Historic Places, reviewing undertakings for the

impact on the properties as well as supporting federal organizations, state and local governments, and

private sector.

SITING ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL.

Siting environmental approval gains the most attention during the initial due diligence research of a

project. Usually intangible to the core business unit the liabilities and costs associated environmental

approval must be accurately reported and reviewed to ensure a successful project.

OIL, TOXIC AND OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

SPILL PLANS

SPCC - Spill Prevention Containment and Counter Measures. Secondary Containment mandated at oil

storage facilities. Oil release containment at oil development sites. Spill Prevention, Control and

Countermeasure plans (SPCC): Writing/overseeing plan, development of “Spill kit” requirements and

location, cleanup training.

RISK MANAGEMENT

A Risk Management Plan (RMP) and/or Best Management Practice (BMP) are documents prepared to

foresee risks, to estimate the effectiveness, and to create response plans to mitigate them. It commonly

consists of the risk assessment matrix. RMP’s describe the supporting functions for systems, such as

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

5

operator training and equipment maintenance, schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,

maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce any unanticipated safety

incidents and environmental compliance issues. RMP’s may also include reporting requirements,

operating procedures, and practices to control plant site safety.

STORAGE TANKS

An Underground Storage Tank (UST) is a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has

at least 10 percent of its combined volume underground. UST's are regulated to prevent release of

contamination of groundwater. Many have leaked in the past allowing contamination of the soil and

groundwater. UST’s require a permit and periodic ground water testing and reporting. Owners and

operators of UST’s are required to ensure corrective action is completed when a tank is in need of repair,

or removal, when it is necessary to protect human health and the environment. It is also recommended

that above-ground storage tanks are used whenever possible.

Ammonia, Diesel.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Tier II (EPCRA/ CERCLA/ SARA). MSDS records, inventory reporting. The Material Safety Data Sheet

(MSDS) provides comprehensive information for use in workplace chemical management. Employers and

workers use them as sources of information about hazards and to obtain advice on safety precautions.

They are product related and, usually, are not able to provide information that is specific for any given

workplace where the product may be used. However, this information enables the employer to develop an

active program of worker protection measures, including training, which is specific to the individual

workplace and to consider any measures that may be necessary to protect the environment. Information in

a MSDS also provides a source of information for other target audiences such as those involved with the

transport of dangerous goods, emergency responders, poison centers, those involved with the professional

use of pesticides and consumers.

SITE PLANS/ BUILDING PERMITS/ FACILITY ISSUES Documentation Filing System review, modify or creation.

ZONING

Zoning is a way of land use planning used by local governments to allow permitted uses of land based on

mapped zones which separate one set of land uses from another. Most zoning systems have a procedure

for granting variances (exceptions to the zoning rules), usually because of some perceived hardship

caused by the particular nature of the property in question. Local Zoning approval/change.

PLANNING BOARDS

The purpose of these boards is to consider the needs of the community which it servers. A board, creates

its own by-laws, and engages with the City in development of the Comprehensive Plan. They also review

zonings and business license applications. …involvement in planning, land use, zoning, transportation,

community services, economic development, recreation, schools, police and public safety

NOISE

Noise pollution is excessive, displeasing human, animal or machine-created environmental noise that

disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The word noise comes from the Latin word

nauseas, meaning seasickness. This resulted in environmental health officers across the UK serving 8,069

noise abatement notices. There are a variety of strategies for mitigating roadway noise including: use of

The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly construction and transportation systems, including

motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise.[1][2] Poor urban planning may give rise to noise

pollution, since side-by-side industrial and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the

residential area.

Noise mitigation is a set of strategies to reduce noise pollution. The main areas of noise mitigation or

abatement are: transportation noise control, architectural design, and occupational noise control. Roadway

noise and aircraft noise are the most pervasive sources of environmental noise worldwide, and remarkably

little change has been effected in source control in these areas since the start of the problem,

This situation classically is thought to involve primarily manufacturing settings where industrial

machinery produces intense sound levels, not uncommonly in the 75 to 85 decibel range.

State/Local Noise ordinances approvals.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS

A special use permit is a US term, which allows a specific exception to the zoning regulations from a list

of acceptable exceptions for a particular parcel of land in a district of a particular zoning character. The

local zoning authority reviews and grants special use permits. Conditional zoning allows for increased

flexibility and permits municipalities to respond to the unique features of a particular land use application.

Uses which might be disallowed under current zoning, such as a school or a community center can be

permitted via conditional use zoning. Special use permits are an extra step that a developer must go

through to receive approval to build a project. Usually a public hearing must be held by a plan

commission and a City Council or other legislative body. With the decision in the hands of political

authorities, receiving a special use permit can fall prey to the land use politics and the decision-making

process of political leaders.

An example of a special use permit may be found in a church applying for one to construct a church

building in a residential neighborhood. Although the church building is not a residential building, the

zoning law may allow for churches in the residential neighborhood if the local zoning authority may

review the impact on the neighborhood. This process grants discretion to the local zoning authority to

ensure that an acceptable land use does not disrupt the zoning scheme because of its particular location

Special and Conditional use permits.

PRESSURE VESSELS

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

7

A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially

different from the ambient pressure.

The pressure differential is dangerous and many fatal accidents have occurred in the history of their

development and operation. Consequently, their design, manufacture, and operation are regulated by

engineering authorities backed up by laws. For these reasons, the definition of a pressure vessel varies

from country to country, but involves parameters such as maximum safe operating pressure and

temperature. State Boiler and Pressure Vessel certifications. Pressure vessels are used in a variety of

applications in both industry and the private sector. They appear in these sectors as industrial compressed

air receivers and domestic hot water storage tanks.

SAFETY

Safety is the state of being "safe" the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual,

financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of

failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable.

Safety can also be defined to be the control of recognized hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk.

This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health

or economic losses. It can include protection of people or of possessions

OSHA 10

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency of the United States

Department of Labor. It was created by Congress of the United States under the Occupational Safety and

Health Act, signed by President Richard M. Nixon, on December 30, 1970. Its mission is to prevent

work-related injuries, illnesses, and occupational fatality by issuing and enforcing standards for

workplace safety and health. The agency is headed by a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor.

The OSH Act which created OSHA also created the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

(NIOSH) as a research agency focusing on occupational health and safety. NIOSH is not a part of the

U.S. Department of Labor.

OSHA federal regulations cover most private sector workplaces. The OSH Act permits states to develop

approved plans as long as they cover public sector employees and they provide protection equivalent to

that provided under Federal OSHA regulations. In return, a portion of the cost of the approved state

program is paid by the federal government. T

NFPA 70E

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a U.S. organization (albeit with some international

members) charged with creating and maintaining minimum standards and requirements for fire prevention

and suppression activities, training, and equipment, as well as other life-safety codes and standards. This

includes everything from building codes to the personal protective equipment utilized by firefighters

while extinguishing a blaze. The NFPA oversees the development and maintenance of over 300 codes and

standards.

Incident Reporting

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

8

Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) is a system established by the National Fire Data Center of the

United States Fire Administration (USFA) in order to carry out the intentions of the Federal Fire

Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-498). The Act authorizes the USFA to gather and analyze

information on the magnitude of the Nation's fire problem, as well as its detailed characteristics and

trends. The Act further authorizes the USFA to develop uniform data reporting methods, and to encourage

and assist state agencies in developing and reporting data.

The NFIRS has two objectives: to help State and local governments develop fire reporting and analysis

capability for their own use, and to obtain data that can be used to more accurately assess and

subsequently combat the fire problem at a national level. To meet these objectives, the USFA has

developed a standard NFIRS package that includes incident and casualty forms, a coding structure for

data processing purposes, manuals, computer software and procedures, documentation and a National Fire

Academy training course for utilizing the system.

Health and Safety incident reporting.

TRAFFIC AND ROADS

Traffic flow, in mathematics and engineering, is the study of interactions between vehicles, drivers, and

infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding

and developing an optimal road network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic

congestion problems. DOT Traffic Studies: Initiate, review and recommend.

POWER TRANSMISSION AND GAS PIPELINES

ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION STUDIES

Feasibility, System Impact, and Facilities Studies. Review and comment.

TRANSMISSION ROUTE EVALUATIONS

Electric power transmission or "high voltage electric transmission" is the bulk transfer of electrical

energy, from generating power plants to substations located near to population centers. This is distinct

from the local wiring between high voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as

electricity distribution. Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become high voltage

transmission networks. In the US, these are typically referred to as "power grids" or just "the grid"; while

in the UK the network is known as the "national grid." North America has three major grids: The Western

Interconnection; The Eastern Interconnection and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (or ERCOT)

grid. Review and recommend/determine.

NG PIPELINE EVALUATIONS

Pipelines are regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

Offshore pipelines are regulated by the Minerals Management Service (MMS). In Canada, pipelines are

regulated by either the provincial regulators or, if they cross provincial boundaries or the Canada/US

border, by the National Energy Board (NEB). Government regulations in Canada and the United States

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

require that buried fuel pipelines must be protected from corrosion. Often, the most economical method of

corrosion control is by use of pipeline coating in conjunction with cathodic protection and technology to

monitor the pipeline. Above ground, cathodic protection is not an option. The coating is the only external

protection.

Pipelines for major energy resources (petroleum and natural gas) are not merely an element of trade. They

connect to issues of geopolitics and international security as well, and the construction, placement, and

control of oil and gas pipelines often figure prominently in state interests and actions. A notable example

of pipeline politics occurred at the beginning of the year 2009, wherein a dispute between Russia and

Ukraine ostensibly over pricing led to a major political crisis. Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom

cut off natural gas supplies to Ukraine after talks between it and the Ukrainian government fell through.

POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Power Purchase Agreements are contracts between two parties, one who generates electricity for the

purpose of sale (the seller) and one who is looking to purchase electricity (the buyer). There are various

forms of Power Purchase Agreements; these are differentiated by the source of energy harnessed (solar,

wind, etc.). Financing for the project is delineated in the contract, which also specifies relevant dates of

the project coming into effect, when the project will begin commercial operation, and a termination date

for which the contract may be renewed or abandoned. All sales of electricity are metered to provide both

seller and buyer with the most accurate information about the amount of electricity generated and bought.

Rates for electricity are agreed upon in the contract between both parties to provide an economic

incentive to being a Power Purchase Agreement.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a legal contract between an electricity generator (provider) and

a power purchaser (buyer). Contractual terms may last anywhere between 15 and 20 years, and during this

time the power purchaser buys energy, and sometimes also capacity and/or ancillary services, from the

electricity generator. Such agreements play a key role in the financing of independently owned (i.e. not

owned by a utility) electricity generating assets. The seller under the PPA is typically an independent

power producer, or "IPP." Energy sales by regulated utilities are typically highly regulated by local or

state government, so that no PPA is required or appropriate. Commercial PPA providers can enable

businesses, schools, governments, and utilities to benefit from predictable, renewable energy.

The PPA is often regarded as the central document in the development of independent electricity

generating assets (power plants), and is a key to obtaining project financing for the project. Under the

PPA model, the PPA provider would secure funding for the project, maintain and monitor the energy

production, and sell the electricity to the host at a contractual price for the term of the contract. The term

of a PPA generally lasts between 5 and 25 years. In some renewable energy contracts, the host has the

option to purchase the generating equipment from the PPA provider at the end of the term, may renew the

contract with different terms, or can request that the equipment be removed. One of the key benefits of the

PPA is that by clearly defining the output of the generating assets (such as a solar electric system) and the

credit of its associated revenue streams, a PPA can be used by the PPA provider to raise non-recourse

financing[13]

from a bank or other financing counterparty.

TYPES OF PROJECTS:

As you can see, there are wide ranges of project types that contribute to my case studies. Each type

requires at least some, if not all of the technical expertise shown above.

The case studies come from my experience being mostly in the Energy industry. They pertain almost

entirely to “outside-the-fence” (private capital Investment Company) projects, but I have been involved

with some “inside-the-fence” (regulated utility) projects. Additionally, I am knowledgeable about the

performance and application of rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, generators and turbo

machinery.

POWER GENERATION- Wholesale electricity production facilities known as “Merchant Power Plants” allow for high voltage

power sale and transmission to support the national electrical power grid system. Some of the most

common commercial types are described below.

COMBINED CYCLE

Combined cycle power generating facilities are the most efficient of all power plant designs (60 %+).

They utilize combustion turbine-generators for primary electricity production and heat recovering steam

generators (HRSG’s) to create high pressure steam from the combustion turbine exhaust. The steam

creates additional electricity production by powering steam turbine-generators. Additional steam energy

(and electric power) can be produced by the introduction of exhaust duct burners fueled by natural gas or

fuel oil. Combined cycle power generation facilities make good base-load facilities but are relatively slow

to fully come online. A typical cogeneration power generation facility may consist of two large

combustion turbine-generators with HRSG units generating 600 megawatts or more total.

PEAKING UNITS

Peaking power generating facilities can come online very quickly, as fast as 30 minutes. The “Peakers”

are primarily used to supply the electricity to meet the daily and seasonal peak demands. Peaking energy

of this sort generally gets the highest sale price because it cannot be directly predicted like base load

demand can and must be bought on an as-need-be “spot” price option. Peakers are not the most cost

efficient base load power producer but can be very lucrative when the needs arise. A typical Peaking

facility may consist of six simple cycle combustion turbine-generator units generating 300 to 400

megawatts total.

ALTERNATIVE RENEWABLE FUELS AND GASIFICATION.

Many of today’s power generation facilities use the same simple thermal equation. A source of fuel is

used to make heat; the heat transforms water to steam; the steam drives a steam turbine-generator and

electricity is produced. The most typical commercial fuels used to produce electric power generation via

combustion are coal, natural gas and fuel oil. Here are some other, not so common fuel source projects I

have worked with for energy facilities.

Biomass

Emmett Poindexter Case Studies

11

Sustainable energy from nature. Many investment groups are focused on converting woody biomass, a

renewable resource, into electricity/biopower. This process focuses on providing the highest value

possible to customers while working in harmony with nature.

Biomass

Landfill gas

Large municipal landfills may provide a consistent supply of landfill gas for periods of 25 years, or more.

Landfill gas contains a major component of Methane yielding an overall heating value about half that of

natural gas. Reciprocating gas engines and combustion turbines have been modified to utilize landfill gas

commercially.

Gasification / Hazardous waste

The gasification process converts raw materials into a syngas by reacting at high temperatures with a

controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam. The syngas (from synthesis gas) is itself a fuel and is

potentially more efficient than direct combustion of the original fuel. Gasification is a method for

extracting energy from many different types of organic materials.

BACK-UP Private back-up generation and back-up natural gas systems allow for uninterrupted operation when

utility power and/or natural gas supplies are threatened by extreme weather or force majeure. Back-up

power and gas systems also contribute to effective reduced commodity tariff negotiations allowing energy

cost savings for the user. Back-up generation normally consists of quick starting reciprocating engines

coupled to electric generators and fueled by diesel or NG. These packages will contain their own

dedicated electric switchgear so that they may disengage from the utility power grid at will. Natural gas

back-up, or “Propane-Air” systems consist of a pressure vessel containing propane and an air mixture

regulator. Propane mixed with the appropriate ratio of air generates a gas mixture very similar in

combustion properties to pipeline quality natural gas. The propane-air gas mixture may be directly

substituted for natural gas at will.

COGEN- Private cogeneration repowering allows for more efficient energy usage when applied to the right

application. When an industrial facility has the correct power-to-heat need ratio, the installation of

cogeneration equipment may reduce their electric bill and enable their heat needs to be met at a greatly

reduced or eliminated fuel cost. “Cogeneration” in this case means creating more than one type of energy

with a single fuel application, i.e., generating electric power with a combustion turbine-generator and

using the exhaust heat to make steam.
