PART C. ASH HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS
Part C requests information about ash handling operations at your plant. Complete Part C if ash is generated in any fossil-fueled steam electric generating units at your plant. See Part A Section 8 for steam electric generating unit fuel classifications. As you are completing the electronic form, note the following: When you enter your plant name and plant ID on the Part C TOC tab, all name and ID fields throughout Part C will automatically populate. Refer to the overall questionnaire instructions, the glossary, and the acronym list for assistance with completing Part C.
Please provide all free response answers in the highlighted yellow areas. Throughout Part C, you may need to make copies of certain sections/questions. Instructions are provided throughout Part C regarding making copies. Note that Steam Electric Unit IDs or Ash Handling System IDs must be populated on the copied tab or section, located in the upper right corner under "Plant ID" and "Plant Name", in order to correlate the requested information with the steam electric unit or ash handling system.
Where the questionnaire indicates to provide an attachment, an electronic format (e.g., PDF) is preferred; however, hardcopies are also acceptable.
Use the Part C Comments tab to do the following: provide additional information as requested in certain questions within Part C; indicate atypical data (e.g., if 2009 information is not representative of normal operations); and note methods used to make best engineering estimates in the event that exact data are not available.
Refer to the following definitions throughout Part C:
"Fly ash collection" is the separation of fly ash from the flue gas. Examples of fly ash collection equipment include ESPs and baghouses. Fly ash may also be collected by wet scrubbers. "Fly ash conveyance" is the conveyance of fly ash from the fly ash collection equipment (ESP or baghouse) of one or more generating units to intermediate or final storage (e.g., storage silos or ponds/impoundments). Common dry fly ash conveyance components include filter/separators, vacuum/pressure transfer stations, high pressure blowers, and associated high pressure piping (note that conveyance does NOT include the storage/loading silos). Wet fly ash conveyance equipment is used to sluice fly ash and pump it to wet ash storage (e.g., ash ponds/impoundments).
"Bottom ash conveyance" is the conveyance of bottom ash from the boiler(s) of one or more generating units to the intermediate or final storage of the bottom ash. Dry bottom ash conveyance does not use water to convey bottom ash to intermediate/final storage. Dry bottom ash conveyance includes systems that collect and convey the bottom ash without any use of water, as well as systems in which bottom ash is conveyed mechanically or pneumatically away from a quench water bath (e.g., submerged chain conveyor systems). Wet bottom ash conveyance uses water (i.e., a sluice) to convey bottom ash away from the boiler to intermediate/final storage (e.g., ponds/impoundments). Note that dewatering bins are considered part of bottom ash conveyance.
"Intermediate storage" refers to a facility or site where collected fly ash or bottom ash is stored after conveyance and prior to being transported to final disposal. Dry fly ash intermediate storage typically consists of storage silos. Dry bottom ash intermediate storage typically consists of stackout/holding areas for the bottom ash collected from mechanical drag systems. Wet fly ash or bottom ash intermediate storage typically consists of ponds/impoundments. "Ash transport/disposal" refers to the transportation of ash from intermediate storage to final disposal. Examples of ash transport/disposal include transportation used to haul ash off site (e.g., ash that is marketed and shipped off site to a reuse application). Ash transport typically consists of roads and vehicles that are used to transport the ash.

Provide fly ash handling information in Table C-2, following these instructions:

●

Provide information at the fly ash handling system level. For the purpose of this questionnaire, fly ash handling systems include all components associated with the conveyance of fly ash from the hoppers, intermediate storage of the fly ash, and transport/disposal of fly ash (i.e., all components from hoppers to final fly ash disposition). As an example, if fly ash from multiple steam electric generating units/hoppers is either conveyed together or separately to a common silo by the same method (e.g., vacuum/pressure conveyance), all associated conveyance equipment and silo (and final transport/disposal) should be considered/identified as one fly ash handling system. As another example, if multiple pipes are used to sluice fly ash from different steam electric generating units/hoppers to one common pond/impoundment, all associated conveyance equipment and pond/impoundment (and final transport/disposal, if applicable) should be considered/identified as one fly ash handling system.

●

Include only fly ash handling systems that service at least one fossil-fueled steam electric generating unit. See Part A Section 8 for steam electric generating unit fuel classifications.

●

For the "Type of Fly Ash Collection", only mark "Wet scrubber" if it is the ONLY means of collection. Note: For any fly ash handling systems marked as "Wet scrubber", do NOT complete the remainder of Part C, Section 2 AND proceed to Part C, Section 3.

●

Provide the "Typical Amount of Fly Ash Produced in 2009 (Dry weight basis)" as tons of ash produced per day prior to sluicing from all steam electric generating units serviced by the fly ash handling system.

3.7. Bottom Ash Cost Information - Transport/Disposal

Instructions:

Complete Section 3.7 (Questions C3-52 through C3-59) for the ash transport/disposal portion of each bottom ash handling system identified in Table C-19 that was installed after January 1, 1985. Enter the bottom ash handling system ID in the space provided above (use the bottom ash handling system IDs assigned in Table C-19). If you indicated in Questions C3-31 or C3-32 that the plant is either installing or planning to install a dry bottom ash handling system, complete Section 3.7, and enter "Planned" in the Bottom Ash Handling System ID space provided above. Make copies of Section 3.7 for each bottom ash handling system operated in 2009, being installed, or planned to be installed by December 31, 2020 using the "Copy Section 3.7" button below. If you are instructed to skip forward to another section while completing this section for one bottom ash handling system, be sure to complete this section for each other bottom ash handling system operated in 2009, being installed, or planned to be installed by December 31, 2020. The ash transport/disposal portion of the bottom ash handling system refers to the transportation of ash from intermediate storage to final disposal.

An example of ash transport/disposal is transportation used to haul ash off site (e.g., ash that is marketed and shipped off site to a reuse application). Ash transport typically consists of roads and vehicles that are used to transport the ash. The capital and O&M costs for ash transport/disposal may include the road or rail infrastructure (roads, tracks, lights), the trucks and rail cars, the operation and maintenance costs associated with the trucks and rail cars, and ash disposal fees. Note that capital and operation and maintenance costs associated with landfills/landfilling are requested in Part F and they should not be included here in Section 3.7.

CBI?

List all of the operation and maintenance activities of the transport/disposal portion of the bottom ash handling system that a contractor(s) oversees(or will oversee, for planned systems) at the contractor's expense (i.e., not at the plant's expense).

CBI?

Provide cost data in Table C-34 for the transport/disposal of the collected bottom ash, both for the system as originally installed and for any modifications to the system. Include all transport/disposal costs inclduing costs for components in Table C-33 as well as control systems, pads and foundations, and all other ancillary equipment. For planned bottom ash handling systems, provide expected costs. Provide the best engineering estimates when actual data are not readily available. For all costs, do not adjust for inflation. For example, if the plant incurred a land cost in 2002, enter the cost in the "Cost" column and enter "2002" in the "Year on which Cost is Based" column. Note that capital costs associated with landfills/landfilling are requested in Part F. Do NOT include landfill costs in Table C-34.

Note: Provide only the costa incurred by the PLANT, not the costs paid for by the contractor. For example, if an outside contractor purchased all rail cars and/or trucks for the transportation of the bottom ash at the contractor's expense, the plant should fill out "$ 0" for the cost of "Purchased Equipment". Any contractor costs/fees incurred by the plant should be accounted for in the "Engineering Contract Firm Costs" and "Other Contractor's Fees" categories.
