Feasibility of the Project. The Columbus Division of Water is considered fully competent and capable of reaching all of its commitments under this project, having completed successful sampling and analysis in accordance with the provisions of the LCR and having reduced lead levels quickly in the past following an exceedence of the AL. The Columbus Department of Health has a proven track record in delivering services to lead-poisoned children, and has a history of inter- agency cooperation on this issue. Early in 1997, the program was invited to attend the national lead conference in Washington, D.C., conducted by HUD and the National Center for Lead Safe Housing, where Columbus presented on the topic of “Interagency Cooperation and Successful Lead Abatement Programs.” Columbus stated that it is considered to be a national model for such cooperative efforts, and was recognized as such by receiving a Best Practices Award from HUD in 1998 for its educational program. The proposal notes that necessary alliances with government agencies, community groups, parent support organizations, and professional and business groups are in place. The Columbus Department of Health staff have the necessary expertise and are experienced in providing similar services.
Feasibility of the Project. EPA is proceeding with development of the Labs21 initiative, and there are no known obstacles to the signing of this FPA. Later case-specific agreements with laboratories will be negotiated through the XL process, and any flexibilities will be coordinated through the appropriate EPA offices to ensure feasibility.
Feasibility of the Project. The Collaborative Process Team will identify the effluent improvement projects that the mill will undertake based in part on the criterion that the projects must be feasible for the facility. Should any of the projects prove infeasible based on technical or cost-effectiveness constraints, the collaborative process provides a means to share information about other projects that may better ensure achieving or surpassing the project’s performance goals. IP has the financial capability, personnel and management commitment necessary to implement this XL project. The Agencies, by signing this FPA, agree to support this project, subject to any public review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanisms for this project.
Feasibility of the Project. The contract has been negotiated and awarded for delivery of 10,000 FFVs nationwide in the first year of the contract. The FFVs are in final design stage. Xxxx currently plans to begin delivery of the vehicles by the end of April 2000. The USPS will work closely with its stakeholders, in particular the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, to promote and encourage the development of E-85 fueling at retail fueling stations. The USPS can provide market incentive for retail fueling stations to provide E-85. The USPS can also contract for and receive bulk delivery of E-85 to the facility with a converted on-site underground storage tank. At least two sources of E-85 bulk fuel are presently available. This will provide for immediate E-85 utilization of 71 FFVs.
Feasibility of the Project. This program is feasible. As discussed above, LSB is prepared to move forward with12 additional remediations because of the issuance of the Policy Memorandum. LSB has the resources and technical expertise to carry out the project. Implementation of the project as proposed would actually be easier, cheaper and therefore more feasible than the alternative – disposing of the debris as hazardous waste.
Feasibility of the Project. The project sponsor, co-sponsors, and regulatory agencies as designated in the Final Project Agreement, agree to support the project, subject to any review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for this project. Further, each XL participant has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement the elements of this Bioreactor Landfill XL Project.
Feasibility of the Project. The PulseEnhancedTM Steam-Reforming Gasification technology, developed with research funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, is currently at the point in its development to be instituted in a full-scale operation. Pilot scale studies have proven its capabilities and superior attributes over current recovery technology. The following is a list of the Steam-Reforming Gasification pilot studies performed by the technology developers: • Pilot plant in Zaragoza, Spain, processing 240 kg/day silica-laden straw pulping liquor. • Pilot testing of silica-laden rice straw spent liquor from RAKTA mill in Alexandria, Egypt. • 25-ton per day demonstration plant for spent liquor from bagasse and straw pulp, Erode, India, sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development. • 50-ton per day demonstration at the Weyerhaeuser Company Kraft pulp mill in North Carolina. • 12-ton per day test of sludge containing short fiber rejects and plastics at the Inland Container plant in California. Additionally, the technology developer has a test facility in Baltimore, Maryland, where over 5,000 hours of testing have been conducted. Part of those hours consisted of two pilot trials on Georgia- Pacific Big Island spent pulping liquor. The first pilot test for Georgia-Pacific occurred in January of 1998 and consisted of 86 continuous hours of operation on the 20-lb/day unit. The 86 hours included 73 hours of pre-conditioning for the unit and fluidized bed and 13 hours of actual test period to generate the required performance data. Results of this initial test conclusively demonstrated the feasibility of this technology for the Big Island liquor. The test achieved a 91.6% carbon conversion rate, generating a product gas with a higher heating value (HHV) of 254 Btu per dscf. The product gas yield was 7,564 Btu per pound of Black Liquor Solids (BLS). The second pilot test, conducted in January of 1999, consisted of a total of four weeks of steam- reforming tests. Two tests were conducted over this time, including a low bed temperature (~1080 degrees F) and a higher temperature (~ 1124 degrees F). The tests processed a total of 5,094 pounds of BLS. The pilot plant operated well over the four-week period, with steady temperature profiles and no evidence of agglomeration, de-fluidization, channeling or heater fouling. The tests achieved carbon conversion rates of 81.3% and 99% for the low temperature and higher temperature runs, respectively. Product gas heating value ranged from...
Feasibility of the Project. IP has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement the elements of the IP XL Project. The Agencies, by signing this FPA, agree to support the project, subject to any public review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for the project.
Feasibility of the Project. The bioreactor concept has already been tested at the Yolo County project, and at other sites in North America and Europe. (See Table 1.) It has been shown that the technology can feasibly create additional airspace at a landfill. The County has already consulted with the MDE about the proposed project, and MDE supports this proposal. Further, the County has set aside the necessary budgeted funds to implement this project. The project sponsor, primary stakeholders, and regulatory agencies as designated in the Final Project Agreement, agree to support the project, subject to any review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for this project. Further, the XL participant has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement the elements of this XL Project.
Feasibility of the Project. OMP has operated the high-temperature catalytic oxidation process since January 1996 under a Treatability Study exemption approved by the PADEP. Since that time, 27 test samples with a total volume of 20,404 mL and a total activity of 1,920.373 mCi have been tested for process effectiveness under the treatability study. Over 2400 hours of development and operating experience by OMP and other companies at several sites has shown that the process effectively destroys a wide variety of materials in a safe operation. During the Treatability Study, the catalytic oxidation process has been run under a wide range of operating conditions, with a multitude of organic materials, to achieve optimal efficiency. See Appendix B for a list of hazardous organic components and their corresponding destruction removal efficiencies (DRE). OMP management fully supports this Project and will ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to implement it.
