OSP Project Scope of Work

• Primary objectives
• Perform 960 facility surveys and provide
  necessary instruction to modify sources for
  testing (test ports, platforms, ladders)
• Perform minimum of 6,048 individual test runs
  (the equivalent of 960 sources) for PM, SO2, NOx,
  CO and metals
• Generate representative emission test data in
  comparison with the Philippine Clean Air Act
  standards
• Produce EPA-quality test reports suitable for EMB
  regulatory follow-up actions (NONC, Technical
  Conference, CAP)

Stack Test Results

• Of the 795 stacks reported, 388 are above the
  CAA standard for at least one parameter
• 289 stacks are failing for SO2
• 161 stacks are failing for PM
• 83 stacks are failing for CO
• 26 stacks are failing for NOx
• 1 stack is failing for lead

20
General Observations

• The following are some of the typical
• Sources firing bunker C fuel oil are exceeding
  the SO2 and PM standards (boilers, gensets,
  heaters)
• Gensets are exceeding the NOx standard
• Solid fuel-fired units are exceeding the CO
  standard
• Only 1 source was exceeding the lead standards
• No sources have exceeded the mercury (or other
  metal) standards

21
Equipment Returned to DENR

• At the conclusion of the project OSP provides
  over 230,000 equipment
• 7 vehicles (3 Revos and 4 Kia Vans)
• Stack testing equipment (meter boxes, sample
  probes, impingers, etc)
• Laboratory equipment (analytical balance,
  spectrophotometer, support equipment)

22
OSP Supplemental Items
Supplemental Items

• Although not required by our contract, the OSP
  has provided the following support (at the
  request of EMB)
• Extensive regulatory and policy guidance and
  support (CEMS, accreditation, methodology
  questions, emission averaging, mass emission
  rates, correction factors, etc)
• Established test port and platform standards with
  industry
• Created culture of safety in stack testing
• Training (test procedures, laboratory procedures,
  test report review, regulatory follow-up, PCO
  workshops)
• Survey and testing of large sources outside the
  Airshed

23
Primary Goal

• Improve air quality over the medium term
• Of the 795 stacks that have been reported, 388
  (49) are failing (without DENR applying the
  appropriate dilution correction factors). This
  leads to a NONC and compliance plan.
• For sources that pass, the report generally
  provides the necessary data to make that
  compliance sustainable
• The vast source data should now be used to
  re-evaluate, and where necessary, tighten the
  emission standards
