Cost Savings, Paperwork Reduction and Operational Flexibility Sample Clauses

Cost Savings, Paperwork Reduction and Operational Flexibility. This project will significantly reduce the expenditure of public monies for reclamation of abandoned mine lands by encouraging remining by private parties. Remining reclaims land to current standards. Through the extraction of remaining coal reserves and the reclamation and revegetation of the land through remining, remaining coal reserves are utilized, land is reclaimed at no public expense, and water quality can be improved. Further, the proposed project encourages remining by 5Section 303 (d) of the Clean Water Act requires that each state identify those waters within its boundaries that might need effluent limitations that are more stringent that the Federal standards in order to meet their designated uses and assure protection and propagation of indigenous populations of shellfish, fish and wildlife. Once these waters are identified and prioritized, the state will then calculate the Total Maximum Daily Load of pollutants a water can accept and still meet water quality standards. 6Coal Mine Drainage Prediction and Pollution Prevention in Pennsylvania is available on the PADEP website at: xxx.xxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxxx/XXXX/xxxx.xxx. September 22, 2000 FPA shifting or reducing some of the risk that operators take when mining degraded land. This risk of incurring the cost of treatment of unencountered pre-existing discharges frequently discourages operators from remining areas that would otherwise be prime candidates for reclamation through remining. PADEP has shown that it is more cost effective to implement BMPs than risk the long term financial liability of treating an AMD discharge to meet numeric limits. If post mining treatment were required, it would make these operations economically infeasible. For example, the capital costs for treating AMD at the Amerikohl Rathmel site would be $182,000, plus annual operating costs of $108,000, for an estimated 50 years. However, the estimated cost of implementing the abatement plan based on BMPs is $56,686, and this is economically feasible given the expected profit from the extraction of the coal in the remining. In addition, the BMPs will have an overall benefit to the surrounding environment and enhance future land use and aesthetics, increase safety and provide employment to local residents. Some relatively minor cost savings and paperwork reduction will be gained through the BMP approach, which will only require quarterly, rather than monthly, monitoring of pre-existing discharges afte...

Cost Savings, Paperwork Reduction and Operational Flexibility. International Paper anticipates spending in excess of $200,000 to complete the PEMS. This estimate is for direct outside services labor, testing and reporting. It does not include mill labor and professional time to complete the project. A budget has been established to fund the project, and labor time has been allocated accordingly. The estimated annual savings are about $20,000 per year in expenses. These savings will be achieved through a reduction in maintenance and paperwork associated with existing NOx andSO2 CEMs. Modification of annual stack testing may provide additional savings of $20,000 per year. Capital cost avoidance will be about $50,000. These savings will be realized by elimination of the future necessity to purchase CO and PM CEMs.

This risk of incurring liability for water treatment, although slight, frequently discourages operators from remining areas which would otherwise be prime candidates for reclamation through remining. PADEP has shown that it is more cost effective to implement BMPs than risk the long term financial liability of treating an AMD discharge to meet numeric limits.

For example, the capital costs for treating AMD at the Amerikohl Rathmel site would be $182,000, plus annual operating costs of $108,000, for an estimated 50 years. However, the estimated cost of implementing the abatement plan, which describes the BMPs, is economically feasible based on the expected profit from the extraction of the coal in the remining. Moreover, the site will be left in as good, and hopefully better, condition through the implementation of BMPs. In addition, the BMPs will have an overall benefit to the surrounding environment and enhance future land use and aesthetics, increase safety and provide employment to local residents. Some relatively minor cost savings and paperwork reduction will be gained through the BMP approach, which will only require quarterly, rather than monthly, monitoring of preexisting discharges after permit issuance.
