Whitson, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Encina Power Plant Fallout - Status Report BACKGROUND In approving Ordinance 9456 amending the Specific Plan for Encina Power Plant to allow construction of a single 400 foot stack, the City attached the following condition: The applicant shall make a formal commitment to conduct the studies necessary-to determine what operating practices and/or emissions control devices are capable of eliminating the particulate "fallout" problem. A schedule for the completion of the studies shall be established which is satisfactory to the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Officer, the Air Pollution Control District Hearing Board or Court of Law. SDG&E shall fully comply with the abatement order entered in petition No. 607. The applicant shall further agree to pay claims for property damage resulting from the "fallout" problem until compliance with the abatement order is achieved. The particulate "fallout" problem shall be controlled to the satisfaction of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad and of the Air Pollution Control Officer prior to the final buildin$ permit clearance for Encina 5 and the single stack. As a separate action, the Air Pollution Control District issued an abatement order (No. 607) which required SDG&E to: 1) Hire an independent consultant to determine the source of the particulate fallout problem at the Encina Plant and recommend control technology to substantially eliminate the fallout; 2) Continue paying for property damage resulting from the fallout; 3) Submit a compliance schedule for abatement of the nuisance. On July 17, 1977 the APCD Hearing Board reviewed the fallout report prepared by York Research Corporation and extended the abatement order so that the level of particulates with use of the fuel oil additive can be determined. Deadlines have set for conducting new e 9 I 'b*>b source tests and paint panel tests. The abatement order has been mation to be obtained. In the interim SDG&E has been instructed to extended until December 31, 1977 in order to allow this new infor- continue paying damage claims. The State Health Department did express concerns about the health effects of the fuel additives. Both magnesium and manganese additive have been used for many years on the east coast. However, no specifi studies on the health effects of these additives have been conducted. The Health Department's primary concern was with the presence of smal quantities of manganese in the fuel additive. Since the manganese was found to have a limited effect on the fallout, it has been elimin SDG&E, the APCD and the Health Department will continue to monitor th health effects of the magnesium based additive for a period of one year. YORK RESEARCH CORPORATION REPORT A copy of the summary and recommendation from the Vork report is attached. The report recommends use of a fuel oil additive, scheduli of soot blowing during favorable meteorologic conditions, control of fuel oil viscosity, and continued use of low sulfur fuel oil. All of these measures except for fuel oil viscosity controls-- are now being implemented. They will continue indefinitely, except for a short period necessary to collect baseline data for the new source tests which have been required. The report is available in the library for "reserve book" use by the public. We also have an office copy of the report. RECOMMENDATION SDG&E will have met the requirements of the APCD once the new source tests and paint panel tests are satisfactorily completed. The City Council at that time must also find that fallout problem has been controlled before final building permit clearance is issued for Encina Unit #5 and the single stack. I believe that we should inform the Council that the York Research Report is available for their review. The Council should wait until the abatement order has been rescinded before finding that the fallou has been controlled. DHW: jp Attachments Summary & Recommendations, York Research Corp.

An alternate means was devised which nearly eliminated the influence of wind The acidic fallout events were of two classes, (see Section 6.9 strong acid, and weaker acids plus metal salts- By counting th two classes of fallouts it was possible to,utilize the ratio of strong acid to total events counted and observe the change in ratio for any change in the plant conditions. This ratio chang enabled data analysis to become nearly independent of the meteo ological and other conditions (e.g.-a boiler out of service). A-corroborating indicator is stack particulate average pH. Thi has also developed into a data source which provides a means of detecting in the stack whether the normal fallout is going to h acidic in nature, See Section 5.1.2 for examples of the use of the ratio and of pH, 2.3 Operational Changes Once the source of the acid fallout problern was identified, operational changes were instituted which might best affect a solution. i Ground wind direction and speed were continuous (see .. 2 ,-+ ,I ,f$ I 1. - ~ 2-3-1 Additives Since the acid is forned by sulfur dioxide being further oxidiz I: -5- 0 0 I- <- into sulfur trioxide with no.rmal excess oxygen, then the additio of magnesium oxide into the fuel would combine with th& Qulh < " trioxide to form maqtesium sulfate, This action will neutralize or prevent the sulfur trioxide from combining with the coxbustio water to form sulfuric acid. emitting of stroslg acid fallout fell to one-quarter the rate aft additives (18% of total fallout as opposed'to 80% before additlv (see Section 5.1}), the stacks was substantidly rezuced, from a p9 of 2.5 before . zdditive to 5.5 after addithe, The data shaw that the plant's The acidity of particulates emitted from l Tests are 'continuing to ge'nerat ,f k' - -1 t fallout data from the entire plact using adsitive rather than ju one unit.

If large particle .. generation could be limited, then less material would be avai- lable to settle locally and thus damage would be theoretically reduced. Evaluation of a period of intensive soot blowing showed that this did little to assist in the prevention of damaging fallout, (See Section 5.2) 2.3.3 Viscosity Fuel viscosity was explored to deternine if there were an optimum viscosity that would ensure complete combustion carbon, Reducing the unburned carbon minimizes carriers available for absorbing sulfuric acid and falling as acidic fallout.

She District then advised your board that: it is prepared to make recommendations as to the modification of the abatement order issue to San Diego Gas ti Electric Company in concection with the operation of Encina power plant . The District also advised your board in its memo of May 11, 1977 that the District has reviewed the test report and the control plan submitted by SDS&E, and that this report does not address the health effects, if any, of ernissicins that may result from the use of the fuel oil additive which is proposd sy SDGE as part of the overall control plan. SDGeiE ZTL! :% Eistrict have consulted the State Department of Health to det mine sa:? I-lsalth effects. The department has advised that certain tests ne to be ccn2ucted before an assessment can be made as to any adverse health effects. To be determined are (1) mass emission rates from the stacks, (2) partjcle 57’22 distribution, (3) composition (both elemental and compound specific) of the background, (4) areawide impact, and (5) other related ana It also appears from the test report that with the use of a fuel oil additi the total particulate emissions from the Encina power plant may increase (degree not known) even though the damaging acid-fa1 lout wi 11 decrease. According to SDG&E it is possible that there may be no increase in particuf emissions once all boilers burn the additive. Assuming emissions increase, proposed control plan will have to be reviewed pursuant to District Rules 2 20.2, 53(b) and subpart A of District Regulation X. Source tests are to be conducted on Encina boilers to determine exactly the change in emissions, i any. Also, further evaluation is needed to determine possible damage on di paint surfaces by emissions resulti.ng,from the use of the additive. As explained to the Hearing Board on June 9, 1977, the acid-fallout problen arises from the formation of acid from SO3 which is formed from SO2 in the presence of monatomic oxygen. SO2 is created by the combustion of fuel oil containing sulfur. Fuel oil additive inhibits the formation of S03. Anotk probable solution to the acid-fallout problem is the use of low sulfur fuel which will result in lower emission of SO2; this method should be tried if fuel oil additive program cannot accomplish compliance with District Rules Regul at i ons . -. 0 -2- e c Encina Fallout Project June 17, 1977 DISTRICT POSIT1 ON The change in the level of particulate emissions with the use of fuel oil additive must be determined by a three phase test program; (1) source test after a boiler wash to determine baseline particulate emissions without the use of fue? oil additive, (2) source test shortly after boiler wash, using fuel oil additive, and (3) source test using additive after the operation h stabilized. tion and similar tests must be conducted after this unit is put into operat Pursuant to the above, the District recommends that the Hearing Board modif the abatement order issued to SDG&E, as follows: 1. By August 1, 1977 - the use of fuel additive shall be fully irnplementec on all the boilers located at Encina Power plant, Carlsbad.

The test proqzm had its beginnings in June, 1976, at which time we a the allegations and provisions of the Abatement Petition sought by tk Pollution Control District. At that time it was established by both and the APCD that "SDG&E was responsible for at least some of the COI spotting" around the Encina Power: Plant. We subsequently contracted depenzent consultant, York Research Corporation, as specified in the ment Order, to conduct a comprehensive study to determine the source damaging particles, and a method to control. those particles. That te: after approximately 11 months of in-depth study, is now essentially ( The results of the test program and the recommendations for acid-fal: abatement at Encina are as follows: 1. Reaffirming our original findings, the four boilers situated at Encina Power Plant do contribute to local corrosive spotting pro , e -e -2- Acidified particles formed in the boilers are emitted, and have sufficient weight to fall in the vicinity of the plant and cause damage if they land on a susceptible surface such as a car, or a patio awning. emitted from the units are extremely small, dust-like, and non- g corrosive in nature. The acidic fallout particles account for on It must be remembered that the majority of particl a very small fraction of the total particulates. 2. Acid fallout particles are composed of two key parts, a carrier called a "cenosphere," and an acid. The cenosphere is a carbon particle fom'el! during the combustion of oil, which looks and ac like a spcnge. It has an affinity for liquids, so the many holes structure becons filled with water and acid formed during combust The acid, sulfuric acid in this case, is formed when a small frac sulfur in the fuel cornbines with oxygen during combustion and thc water formed from combustion or available in the atmosphere. Whc particle lands on a cloth, painted, or metal surface, the acid ir enough to corrode or stain the surface. Fortunately, the acid-fz particles are small and few in number so that the damage caused : extensive. Fallout damage was determined to be primarily caused by acidic pi and not by iron rust, as was originally speculated. The. majority of acid-fallout emitted occurs during and immediate each unit's soot blow, an operation to clean the heat transfer s' of the boiler. However, fallout is emitted from each boiler at. 3. 4. levels throughout the day. 5. The local meteorological conditions surrounding the Encina Power t e -3- 6 are such that the impact of fallout cannot be accurately forecast based on surface wind speed and direction information. This is b an unpredictable upper-air layer above approximately 250 feet alt has no relationship with the surface wind conditions, and since t stack plumes enter this layer, efforts to determine fallout impac intensity are confounded. Based on these findings and York's recommendations, SDG&E plans t implemezt the following control measures to substantially elimina damaging acizic fallout from the Encina Power Plant: 1. Magnesim based fuel oil additive will be injected into the f system of each boiler at Encina on a continuous basis. All E boilers have been using an additive since May 6, 1977. Test basec5 sn aiibient fallout monitoring devices inc?icates at leas 80'4 r&!uctior! in the number of acidic particles emitted from powr glant. The additive reduces acid-fallout by both inhik. the fo;rxlation of SO and thus sulfuric acid, and by neutrali any acid that is formed. The rate of additive injection will be maintained at a level sufficient to substantially reduce acid-fallout, which will t minimize any increase in particulates from the boilers. Wit1 additive, we are currently in' compliance with Rule 52 which E maximum source particulate levels at 0.1 grains/SCF. 3' 2.

This has the effect of limiting the Implementation of this change in our soot-blowing schedule has already begun and will continue as a standard operating practi on all boilers. 3.

This report will describe improvements in plant and operating procedures during the preceding year which reduce the emission of air pollutants resulting from the operation of Encina Units 1, 2, 3 and 4. 1 The following are areas of improvement that were accomplished in the last year. These improvements result in increased efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and a corresponding decrease in emissions. I. Major Turbine Overhaul Encina Units 1 and 3 underwent major turbine over- hauls in September 1976 and January 1977, respectively (see Attachments 1 and 2). During a major overhaul, the entire turbine is dismantled, useable parts are cleaned and worn parts replaced or repaired. The turbine is then reassembled and put back in operation. The goal of a major overhaul is to return the turbine efficiency to as close to design level as possible and to insure reliable operation for the next four years. four years. 11. Boiler Overhaul 1 'r Major turbine overhauls are normally done every The boilers for Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 were overhauled during the past year. By cleaning and repairing burners, air registers, heat transfer surfaces and structural components, air leakage is minimized. In this way, boiler efficiency is 1 -1- I 8 D 1 1 I I 1 I I I t 1 1 1 returned to design conditions. 111. Condenser Tube Scraping The tubes in the condenser of all four units were 1 scraped to remove marine growth and other deposits. this process, spring loaded metal scrapers are inserted into the l-inch tubes (each condenser has 6,000 to 10,000 tubes) and a high pressure water stream pushes the scrapers through the individual tubes. improved, reducing each unit's turbine back pressure. This results in improved unit efficiency. IV.

Encina Fallout Test Program Since mid-1976, SDGGrE has been conducting this program to determine and correct the cause of damage resulting from acidic particulate emissions from Encina Power Plant. 1 The test program had its beginnings in June 1976, at which time SDG&E accepted the allegations and provisions of the Abatement Petition sought by the Air Pollution Control District. At that time it was established by both SDG&E and the APCD that "SDG&E was responsible for at least some of the corrosive spotting" around the Encina Power Plant. We subsequently hired an independent consultant, York Research Corporation, as specified in the Abatement Order, to conduct a comprehensive study to determine the source of I the damaging particles, and develop a method to control these particles. Results of the test program and recommendations for acid-fallout abatement at Encina are as follows: 1. Reaffirming our original findings, the four boilers situated at Encina Power Plant do contribute to local corrosive spotting problems. t Acidified particles formed in the boilers are emitted, and some have sufficient weight to fall within close proximity of the plant and cause damage if they land on a susceptible surface such as a car, or a patio awning. The majority of particles emitted from the unit are extremely small, dust-like, and non-corrosive 1 -3- I 1 in nature. The acidic fallout particles are 1 very few in number and small in size, I 2. Acid fallout particles are composed of two key parts, a carrier called a "cenosphere," and an acid. The cenosphere is a carbon particle formed during the combustion of oil, which looks and acts like a sponge. for liquids, so the many holes in its structure become filled with water and acid formed during 1 1 1 I 1 I z 1 8 1 1 It has an affinity I cornbustion. As combustion efficiency increases, production of cenospheres decreases. Therefore, efforts to improve combustion efficiency are extremely worthwhile. Sulfuric acid is formed when a small fraction of sulfur in the fuel combines with oxygen during combustion and then with water formed from combustion or available in the atmosphere. When a particle lands on a cloth, painted, or metal surface, the acid is strong enough to corrode or stain c 4 the surface. Fortunately, the acid-fallout particles are small and few in number so that the damage caused is not extensive. 3. Fallout damage was determined to be primarily 1 caused by acidic particles and not by iron rust, as was originally speculated. -4- 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 8 1 I t I I i I 4. The majority of acid-fallout emitted occurs during and immediately after each unit's soot blow, an operation to clean the heat transfer surfaces of the boiler. However, fallout is emitted from each boiler at varying levels throughout the day. I 5. Local meteorological conditions surrounding Encina Power Plant are such that the impact of fallout cannot be accurately forecasted based on surface wind speed and direction information. This is because an unpredictable upper-air layer exists above approxima.tely 250 feet altitude that has no relationship with the surface wind conditions. enter this layer, the problem of determining fallout impact and intensity are complicated. 1. When the stack plumes c 1 Based on these findings and York's recormendations, SDG&E implemented the following contrcll measures 110 sub- stantially eliminate the damaging acidlic fallout from the Encina Power Plant: 1. Magnesium based fuel oil addlitive is being I injected into the fuel system of each boiler at Encina on a continuous basis. All Encina boilers have been using an additive since -5- 1 t I E 1 I I 1 T 1 9 I I May 6, 1977. Test data based on ambient fallout monitoring devices indicates a typical monthly average reduction exceeds 95% in the number of acidic particles emitted from the power plant. The additive reduces acid-fallout by both inhibiting the formation of SO3, and thus sulfuric acid, and by neutralizing any acid that is formed. 1 The rate of additive injection will be maintained at a level just sufficient to substantially reduce acid-fallout, which will then minimize any increase in particulates from the boilers. currently in compliance with Rule 52 which sets the maximum source particulate levels at 0.1 grains/SCF. I With the additive, we are 2. Soot blowing on each boiler has been rescheduled from present 5:OO p.m. start time to 11:OO a.m. in order to take advantage of favorable wind conditions existing from mid-day through early afternoon. Surface winds during this period are generally at or near their maximum speed B with high persistence and apparently, from ambient emission data, the upper winds tend to follow the surface winds during this time period. This has the effect of limiting the dispersion of fallout to a narrow corridor, east to south-east I e - 6- 1 1 t R 2 f i I I I s 8 8 I s 1 m of the plant, which is essentially unpopulated. 3. Automatic fuel oil viscosity controls will be installed on each boiler to assure that oil combustion is optimized so as to reduce the carbonaceous acid carriers, "cenospheres . '' Combustion equipment is designed to operate at certain fuel oil viscosities in order to produce the best flame possible and minimize the amount of unburned carbon. This project is currently in the engineering phase, with two consultants handling the engineering. The current schedule calls for completion of the I I I project in 1979. Based on the trends exhibited by the data during limited test periods, the first two controlmethods, addi- tives and soot blow changes will provide the Encina Power Plant with substantial elimination of damaging fallout while installation of viscosity controls will just enhance the effectiveness of the other control methods. The cost of these control methods will amount to about $30,000 per month for the purchase of the fuel oil additive. At the recommendation of the San Diego Air Pollution Control Officer, a new test program was initiated to study the proposed solution to the fallout program. test program will continue until December 31, 1977. This -7- 1 8 I 1 1 8 1 I 1 B I 8 I 1 I The following activities are underway as part of this new test program: 1. At the request of the State Department of Health, tests are being conducted to assess if any adverse side effects may result from use of the additive. SDG&E has initiated a program to determine emission and dispersive characteristics of respirable-sized particles, with qualitative and 1 i quantitative identification. Information will be submitted to APCD and the Department of Health. 2. SDG&E and APCD are jointly conducting a series of source tests on each boiler to determine any net increase or decrease in particulate emissions. APCD Rules 20.1, 20.2, 53 (b) and Subpart A of Regulation X limit an increase of total particu- late emissions to 10 lb/hr 011 100 lb/hr, as compared to emission levels prior to any modifi- cation of operations or equipment. I n In conclusion, SDG&E has an aggressive and efficient overhaul and maintenance program to maintain the most efficient power plants possible. Additionally, we have been successful in finding new ways to improve plant effici- ency in many areas. Regarding the Fallout Abatement Program, SDGGrE began over a year ago to solve a problem others had not -8- 1 1 1 solved, and sought to find a solution others had not yet found.

Hardway General Superintendent, Electric Production San Diego Gas & Elecitric Company 1 1 INTRODUCTION Over the last year and a half, San Diego Gas & Electric Company has been concentrating on reducing its single largest operating expense--the cost of power plant fuel and purchased energy. A special team was set up to increase plant efficiency and to cut fuel oil consumption. system heat rate of 10945 Btu/k hr ranked 70th in the survey of the Top 100 electric utilities.Y of 10481 Btu/kwhr which elevated us to 41.st among the Top 100. That improvement of 29 steps is significant. It was exceeded only by one other company--Middle South Utilities, which ranked 56th in 1974 and 23rd in 1975. I 1 1 1 1 I 1: I I 1 I According to 1974 data, SDGSLE's In 1975) we achieved a heat rate SDG&E's improvement in heat rate reduced operating expense in 1975 by approximately $7 milli.on which, undoubtedly, had a significant effect in the Company's improved financial 1 outlook. Just what did we do to achieve this savings? factors contributed, including a unit performance monitoring pro- gram, improvedmaintenance, cleaner condensers, and operational dispatch changes. Many PERFORMANCE MONITORING Our first approach to improve unit efficiencies was to develop a unit performance monitoring prolgram, similar to Florida Power and Light ' s Energy Management Program. 2 Special thanks go to Charlie Branning of FP&L and Joe Davis of Duke Power Company for their helpful assistance. 1. "The Top 100 Electric Utilities 1974--A Year of Zero Growth", Electric Light & Power, July 21, 1975 (1974 Data); August 16, "An Energy Management Program Helps This Utility Reduce Its Fuel Bill", 1975 Generation Planbook, Power Magazine, p. 41-45 4 1916('1975 Data). 2. I -2- 1 I 1 The aim of our program is to provide a method of monitoring performance of each unit, so that it can be operated at its best efficiency under various loading conditions. Five key variables were selected as potentially having the greatest effect on heat rate. They are: 1) Turbine back pressure, as a function of circulating water inlet temperatures. I I 2) Excess oxygen at the economizer outlet. 3) Air heatser gas out temperature, as a function of air heater air in temperature. 4) Main steam temperature, and 5) Reheat stearn temperature. A display chart containing these five variables, (as a I 8 I I I I I I 1 8 I I function of Mw), for each generating unit has been placed in each plant control room. The charts graphically depict the "best attainable" performance standards so that the operator can evaluate the unit's performance. selected over design paramerers to encourage operators to meet present realistic goals. takes corrective action when appropriate. The operator can either adjust the control setting of the unit or request that maintenance be performed. on control room logs which are processed and compared by a digital computer to the best attainable standards. The difference between the actual measurement and the best attainable value is then used to calculate the influence on heat rate and a prediction of the theoretical fuel savings (loss) that is created by variance from optimum. Knowing the econoinic impact of the increased fuel costs, our engineers can then use the data to determine the best correc- tive action, such as optimum frequency and method of condenser cleaning, boiler wash, soot blowing and ocher maintenance item scheduling. The best attainable approach was Each operator makes hourly comparisons of actual performance to the best attainable standards and then The operator then records actual operating performance The computer program surmnarizes daily and monthly values for the performance monitoring report. See Figure 1 for sample monthly printout, and Figure 2 for trend analysis. management withinformation on efficient plant operation. But just- ab iniportant - it requires the plant operators to participate directly in monitoring each unit's efficiency. The performance monitoring report provides Company I -3- 1 I I I I 1 1 1 I I I I 1 I 1 I I OPERATIONAL CHANGES Operational changes have had a significant effect on our system heat rate improvement. Our first step was to set up an accurate set of current incremental heat rate characteristics for all steam generating units. In some cases, we had previously been dispatching units on the basis of 10-year-old data. Since absolute heat rate changes can change the incremental heat rates significantly, accurate input-output tests are essential. A special team of SDG&E engineers was formed to make periodic tests of all steam generating units. Within 15 months, tests of every steam unit on the system had been completed. The results were twofold: First, accurate incremental heat rate curves were define and second, each unit's performance was compared to original or manufacture specifications. The incremental heat rate curves were then utilized by a new computer program, "Unit Comitment/Production Cost". This program provides load dispatchers with an hour-by-hour nodel of our electric generating system. Now, the Load Supervisor can efficiently dispatch our generating units by considering incremental heat rates plus important plant operating conditions such as boiler/turbine startup, shutdown, and ocher operation data Operations Department to more effectively schedule limited use of less efficient, quick-starting gas turbines. I This newcomputer program also enables our Electric 1 MAINTENANCE Our input-output testing program pointed out that some units no longer met the original manufacturer's guarantee. Thus, it became our goal on each unit's yearly overhaul to return our boiler/turbines to an "as new" condition. This goal, of course, could not 3e achieved on every unit without significant modifi- cations and expense. During 1975, several major unit overhauls corrected ljroblems such as severe deposits on turbine blades, circGlating pump impeller wear, turbine seal "rubout", and a condenser fouling. Another key maintenance development was a new computeriz overhaul schcdulingprogram. This program determines the optimum yearly schedule for overhauling each generating unit, thereby minimizing the system fuel cost and maximizing the system heat rate improvement. -4- 1 I 1 I I I I 1 I I I I II 1 I 1 I I CONDENSERS Both the Performance Monitoring Program and our main- tenance programs concentrate on turbine back pressure as the most important variable influencing heat rates. Efforts in 1975 have significantly reduced each unit's back pressure. Our goal, in this case, is to reduce all units back pressure to the original manufacturer design specification. In the past, we cleaned our condensers each month with an air and water method, and each year with rubber plugs. these techniques cleaned primarily tube-sheet debris and did not remove mineral deposits. As indicated on Figure 3, the back pressure on our South Bay Unit 1 had been increasing since 1960. different methods of condenser tube cleaning. We evaluated hydroblast (10,000 psi waterjet), acid cleaning, a "flocculent" material, plus the metal scraper technique. The metal scraper approach, provided by the Condenser Cleaners Manufacturing Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was judged to be the superior method. The condenser tube wear was empirically determined to be less than 0.06 thousandths of an inch (.00006 inch) for each scraping. The results were dramatic! We flushed out more than one ton of "crud" frotn the Howeve Stemming from our heat rate improvement program, we looked into condenser cleaning operation at South Bay Unit 1. The deposits were analyzed to be iron oxide, manganese oxide, silica, and organic growth. Figure 3 shows a 1.10" Hg improvement in back pressure--a return to original design back pressure. Our experience with the scrapers in 1976 indicated that a frequency of twice a year is optimum for our South Bay units an once per year for our Encina units. seven units, we have lowered our system heat rate by 0.66%, gaini a fuel saving of more than $1.2 million per year. SUMMARY considering our specific fouling conditions and heat rate economi By cleaning condensers on 4 I have described some of the major parts of OUT program to reduce the net system heat rate. Many other factors contribut to improvement, but perhaps the most significant is the sincere interest our management has shown in heat rate improvement. We're still learning about efficiency projects, but we were encouraged by the first year results. Our goal for 1976 is improve efficiency by an additional 1 to 3%. For this second sta efficiency effort we have retained the NUS Corporation of Rockvil Maryland as consulting engineers. This will put additional empha on specific programs that should further improve our position in the Top 100 electric utilities. _* _- SDG? --. -- I - . -. San Diego Gas %t Electric NOVEMBER 22,1977 6 a 0 - .I / ,- I. r \ MENORANDUM DATE : * November 25, 197.7 TO : Mayor and City Council FROM : City Attorney SUBJECT: Report.Re Ordinance No. 9456 . At the adjourned City Council meeting of Novernber 22, 1977,. San Diego Gas and Electric Company (hereinafter SDG&E) requested permission to use the new 400-foot stack to receive the exhzust gases from Encina Units 1 through 4. The Council referred the request to the City Attorney for a report. The request by SDGstE is controlled by Ordinance Eo. 9456 which amended SpecificlPlan 144 to pemit the construction of the stack subject to twelve conditions. (A copy of Ordinance No.9456 is attached for your ready reference). Condition (H) of the ordinance is the only one directly involved- with the rzqlie,ck and, in particular, the third paragray;h, which provides: "The particulate "fallout" problem shall be controlled to the satisfaction of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad and the Air Pollution Control Officer Encina 5 and the single stack." * prior to the final buildixg permit clearance for The meaning of the term "final building permit clearancen has been reviewed in detail with the Building Director. He reports that Encina 5 and the stack are being constructed pursuant to a single building permit. (A copy is attached). The stack is considered to be a part of the Encina 5 structure. The project was assigned to Occupancy Group G which expressly includes power plants. Section 306(a) of the Uniform Building Code (1573 Edition), adopted for use in the City of Carlsbad by Municipal Code Section 18.04.005, provides in part that: "NO building or structure in Groups A to H inclusive, shall be used or occupied, ... until the Buildfag Official has issued a Certificate of Occupancy therefor.. . " (emphasis added). Section 306(c) provides that a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued.unti1 after final inspection when it is found that the building. or structure complies with all the provisions of the code. Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy is the final building permit clearance in the City of Carlsbad. '- . e e 8 In my opinion the terms of Condition (H) are clear and unambiguous. The City Council and the Air Pollution Control Officer (hereinafter APCO) must be independently satisfied that the fallout problem final buildinq permit clearance and under the Uniform Building Code the stack cannot be used until after such cleararlce. The question of whether or not to condition the use of the stack on solving the fallout problem is solely one of policy. In fact, the original. conditions recommended by the Planning Staff had no such requirement. A review of the record indicates that the condition grew out of concerns'expressed.at the public hearing and was added at the express direction of the City Council. The Planning Commission recommended adding a condition requiring the APCO to be satisfied that the problem was solved before the stack could be used. The City Council concurred and further modified the condition by adding the requirement that the City Council also be satisfied. The record of the hearing seems clear in regard to the Council's intent in adopting Condition (HI. One member of the Council was of the view that the problem should be solved before the stack was even approved. One other member of the Council expressed the view that the condition of approval would prevent the company from using the single stack before it solved the particulate problem. The best indication of the Council's intent can be found in che finding of Ordiriance No. 9456. Section 8(C) of the findings in part provides : . has been "contrOlled" before Encina 5 and the stack can receive4 e "Unless this ordinance is amended, the fallout problem will be solved prior to the use of . Encina 5 and the stack". I find no ambiguity in Condition (H) but to the degree some might be deemed to exist, it should be resolved by reference to the Council's intent expressed in the findings. The quoted portion of which seems to me to speak €or itself. While it was the Council's policy choice to impose the requirement in Condition (H), it was done by ordinance after public hearings. If the Council wishes to materially change that requirement, it should be done by the same process. - SDGSIE has suggested to me in writing that it is unnecessary to proceed by way of amendment, in that Condition (H), of Ordinance No. 9456, can be changed by resolution. I find the authorities cited in support of that.position to be without merit as a matter of law. 4 2. -" . a 0 SDG&E has also suggested that a resolution is appropriate because the ordinance is ambiguous. They offer that ambiguity may be found because Condition (HI does not mention Units 1 through 4 and does not distinguish between commercial use and use for testing purposes. These suggestions are also without merit. The record indicates that Condition (H) related directly to Vnits 1 through 4 since they were what was causing the problem the conditic was intend.ed to resolve. In addition, while Condition (H) may not mention Units I through 4, Ordinance No. 9456 certainly does. Condition (I) expressly provides that the four stacks on the exist- ing plant be remgved, "...not later than.eight months after the Building Inspector signs the final inspection for the 400-fOOt contemplated that the four existing stacks would not be removed until after the 400-foot stack and Encina were complete. If that was in error, or if construction plans have changed, the problem can be corrected by an amendment. SDG&E is correct in their observation that the ordinance does not differentiate between testing and. commercial use. The ordinance simply prohibits the "use" of the stack, I find no ambiguity in the word ''use;. In.any case, SDG&E is not request- ing permission to test the 400-foot stack but-to place it into full commercial use for Units 1 through 4. While there may be some doubt whether or not the prohibition against ''we" of the stack proscribes testing, that qxestion is nct presented here --- ' stack.. ." This condition and the record indicate that it was . where the request is for use. If the City Council is not satisfied the fallout problem has been motion to deny SDG&E's request. If the City Council is not satisfied the fallout problem has been controlled, but finds merit in SDG&E's position that they should be allowed to use the stack for Encina Units 1 through 4, the proper way to proceed is to initiate public hearings to consider an amendment to the Specific Plan (SP-144) and Condition (3) to so provide. The Council also has the option of finding that the fallout probler! has been controlled. The determination as to what constitutes "control" of the fallout problem is, of course, one for the Council discretion. Although SDG&E has not requested such a finding, and the APCO is apparently not prepared to make it at this time, there is, in my opinion, sufficient evidence in the record to support SUC a finding, if it is recognized that "controlled'' is somethinq less than "solved" or "eliminated". To make the finding the Council intent in Ordinance No. 9456. controlled and wishes to enforce Condition (H) I your action is a should satisfy itself that "controlled" is consistent with their e. .I i -. 3. *I . 0 .. In reviewing the Uniform Building Code with the Building Director it appeared that one additional option may be available. Section 306 (d) provides that: "A temporary Certificate of Occupancy may be issued by the Building Official for the use of a ?ortion or portions of a building or structure prior to the completion of the entire building or structure". As previously noted, the stack is considered by the Building Director to be a part of Encina 5 for building inspection purposes. The Building Director has indicated if it could be found that the stack was complete, safe for use an2 in full compliance with the code and if the Council concurred, a temporary certificate night be issued.. Such a certificate could be limited to use for Units 1 through 4. 0 There are several problems with this option. The primary problem is whether or not the use proposed by SDG&E can be considered temporary. The evidence presented to the Councii indicates that the conversion from the four existing stacks to the 400-foot stack may be permanent and irreversible since the small stacks will be removed. It is doubtful, in my opinion, that we could- successfully revoke a temporary cccupsr_cy should that become necessary. Further, the Building Director indicares that in most cases where temporary occupancy is used the City alims occupancy pending clearance of minor technical problems where the City has the ability to pull utility meters and terminate the use if the building is not completed in full compliance with the code. SLich would not be the case with the stack. Finally, although issuance of a temporary certificate may be legally possible under the Building Code, the Council would have to be satisfied that such action was consistent with the intent of Ordinance No. 9456. CONCLUSIOTJ Condition (8) of Ordinance No. 9456 which precludes the use of the stack until the fallout problem is controlled to the satisfaction of the APCO and the City Council seems to me to be clear and unambiguous. contention, that the condition is ambiguous and can therefore be "clarified" without the public hearingsnecessary to amend the ordinance is not well taken. If the Council determines to either The condition should either be enforced or changed and the proper way to change it is to amend the ordinance. SDG&E's 40 .+ b 0 .. deny the request or initiate public hearings to amend the ordinance, that action can be taken by motion at your Noven5er 29, 1977 meeting. If the Council wishes to elect one of the other cptions discussed herein, I recommend referring the matter to the City Manager for a further report since they involve either the operatior of one of his departments or that of another governnental agency and those aspects of the problen contain certain policy elements beyond the province of your attorney which nay require additional consideration.
