1.0 Decommissioning and Demolition Sequencing
Huntington Plant is named for Huntington Canyon and Huntington City, Utah. The single unit plant was
commissioned in 1974 and occupies a 1,000 acre site. The second unit was commissioned in 1977 and
today the plant produces 895 megawatts of electricity.
Each of the units is equipped with sulfur dioxide scrubbers with the latest scrubber being added to Unit 2
in 2006. Each scrubber unit has a filter bag house to control particulate emissions. The plant at
Huntington burns about 3 million tons of sub-bituminous coal per year which is supplied to the plant by a
2.4 mile conveyor from the Deer Creek Mine, which is also owned and operated by PacifiCorp. Coal is
burned by a 15 story boiler unit to produce 2,400 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure at nearly 1,005
degrees Fahrenheit. Steam is sent to the turbine generator sets to produce electricity then on to the
condensers where cool water tubes transform the steam back into water. The water is then recycled
through return lines to repeat the cycle. Excess heat is sent to large cooling towers where the heat is
transferred to the atmosphere via the plant stacks.
Power generated by Huntington Station is delivered to its central Utah customers via high-voltage
transmission lines. Sufficient water for plant operations is released into the Huntington River from the
company-owned Electric Lake reservoir 23 miles north of the plant in Huntington Canyon.
The following section presents an overall suggested project sequencing approach for the
decommissioning and demolition of the Huntington Generating Station in its entirety. It has been
assumed that complete demolition of the Huntington Station will be performed down to concrete slabs
and foundations to existing grade. For the purposes of this engineering estimate, demolition includes the
razing of all structures associated with the plant down to and includes removal of the existing slab and
above grade concrete. Demolition of the plant will not take place at Huntington until all project plans are
assembled, reviewed and approved. Typically, a demolition permit can only be issued once asbestos
abatement and environmental work has been completed and final inspections are performed prior to the
start of deconstruction activities.
Additional detail for the demolition estimate can also be found in the Demolition Estimate present in
Section 1.3 of this report.
1.1 Decommissioning
Decommissioning of the plant is defined as placing the plant in an environmentally neutral, zero-energy
state. This requires the removal of all hazardous and waste materials that could result in a release during
plant dismantlement. This includes materials such as lubricating fluids/oils, fuel oil, coal combustion
residuals, PCBs, ACM, lead paint, process chemicals, and universal wastes including mercury
switches/mercoids.
Utility cut and cap activities, completed in accordance with PacifiCorp and Huntington Station lock
out/tag out program requirements (short term measure) and air gapping procedures (long term measure),
would also be completed and verified during the decommissioning project phase. The estimated cost
associated with the demolition phase of the plant begins with the pre-mobilization submittals. The utility
cut and cap phase is part of the demolition site setup phase of the plant. It is assumed that the demolition
contractor will work closely with plant electrical personnel in affecting the de-energizing of the plant
prior to the onset of demolition activities. The transmission assets will remain operational and in place
since they are owned by Rocky Mountain Transmission. The costs included are assumed in this estimate
for the removal of transmission lines that enter the plant to a pre designated transmission supporting
structure far enough away from the power block structure to allow for safe dismantlement activities and
protection of the transmission assets. The estimate at this time does not include the cost to reconnect the
transmission lines once removed. It is recommended that additional due diligence be performed to
finalize the logistics required for the re-connection to maintain the transmission assets in an undisrupted
and operational order throughout plant decommissioning and dismantlement.
1.1.1 Investment Recovery - Sold Assets
Any assets sold by the Plant or its designees would be removed from the power house utilizing small
forklifts and the existing overhead (OH) cranes if applicable, prior to demolition. It is assumed that these
cranes will be energized using existing facility power or a temporary power loop installed for the project.
Cranes will require re-certification by a qualified crane inspection/certification company prior to use. Sold
assets will be moved to the truck/rail bay via the OH crane and loaded on customer trucks if coordination
allows or loaded on the demolition contractor’s trailers for transfer to plant approved staging area. The
turbine generators will be removed during demolition of turbine hall using the cranes when
dismantlement of the plant begins.
Any contractor who intends to remove an item of equipment must provide a rigging plan and in some
cases, an asbestos abatement plan to Huntington Station oversight personnel for review and final
approval. Limits on the removal of ancillary wiring and piping must also be overseen to avoid excess
removal of salvageable materials.
1.1.2 Pre-Mobilization Activities Prior to Plant Demolition
Prior to initiation of demolition activities the following project plans and submittals would be required:
1. Demolition & Dismantlement Execution Plan
2. Application for all Permits including in accordance to the Final Permitting Matrix
3. Site Specific Health and Safety Plan
4. Scrap/Salvage Materials Management Plan
5. Waste Management Plan
6. Utility Cut and Cap Plan
7. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
8. Quality Control Plan
9. Sampling and Analytical Plan (if necessary for Basin/impoundment closures)
10. Preparation and finalization of a final CPM project schedule;
The demolition permit will be the primary permit vehicle governing the planned work. The final project
design package, including the technical specifications and drawing package will be utilized to support the
Demolition Permit application package. This permit is issued by the State of Utah and local municipality.
It is noteworthy that the Huntington’s Engineering Division at the plant has many drawings and
environmental information that are well organized and will be indispensable for use in the preparation of
the demolition design and specification package prior to procurement of an environmental remediation or
demolition contractor.
1.1.3 Pre-Construction Meeting
Prior to commencement of site activities a pre-construction meeting will be held at the Huntington
Generating Station. This meeting will be attended by all project stakeholders, including but not limited to
the following:
a) Huntington Generating Station project manager and corporate sponsor;
b) Huntington Generating Station technical leads;
c) Huntington Generating Station managers and key operations staff;
d) Engineer’s demolition project design team;
e) Engineer’s construction management team;
f) Demolition contractor project managers/superintendents
The primary purpose of this meeting will be to communicate all project objectives to the project team,
define project safety as the primary project objective, complete a detailed review of the project plans,
scope of work, technical specifications, schedule, introduce key project staff, and establish the reporting
requirements for the project.
1.2 Huntington Generating Station Demolition
An integral part of the valuation of the Huntington Generating Station 6 miles west of Huntington UT is
to demolish the plant in order to obtain access to the salvageable assets from the facility. Demolition
represents the cost to access all salvageable revenue and is therefore an inherent component of cost while
salvage in the form of recyclable metal represents one revenue stream in the economics of this valuation.
The following sections describe the means and methods that were developed during the site visit
conducted at the plant on July, 2014 to develop a demolition approach for this site. The overall Sequence
of work for dismantlement is as follows:
• Pre Mobilization Plans, permitting, submittals and final approvals
• Mobilization of all labor, equipment and materials
• Site setup, install erosion control measures and commence utility disconnections and cut and caps
including protection of transmission assets as required by the interconnection agreement
• Water intake and discharge pipes plug and grout
• Coal pile closure – remove all waste coal, minimal backfill, grade and seed
• Dismantle all outer structures, crusher house, baghouse, scrubber buildings, tanks (above ground)
coal handling equipment, and silos
• Dismantle the turbine generators
• Dismantle turbine generator building
• Prepare the boiler house structures for implosion, implode structure units 1-2
• Dismantle stacks by munching down
• Implode the cooling towers
• Prepare and process steel on site
• Load and ship salvage by truck, rail or barge
• Reclaim and restore the site and remaining basins
Facility demolition will take approximately 417 calendar days to complete. The sequencing of the work
will be performed in accordance with the schedule provided in Section 1.4 – Demolition Schedule. The
approach used in the dismantlement of the plant will start with the outer buildings first. This allows for a
safer and more effective access to the taller structures such as the boiler house and turbine hall structures.
The boiler house structure will be the final above grade structure to be dismantled and it is anticipated that
this structure would be safer to take down by implosion once all of the outer structures have been
physically removed. The estimate assumes that the transmission lines and yards will be de-energized
during decommissioning by Huntington Station personnel. For the purposes of this estimate, equipment
such as transmission lines and transformers are assumed to be removed relocated and/or protected.
Additional planning will be required to remove any transmission assets from the power block (i.e. the
turbine hall wall) to allow for dismantlement either by mechanical means or by eventual implosive
methods. The protection of the transmission assets must be accounted for in all implosive modelling
efforts. These assets include the associated grounding grid and fencing.
1.2.1 Task 1: Pre-mobilization Plans, Submittals and Permitting

Prior to mobilization, an integral step must be taken where all plans and submittals are prepared by the
selected demolition contractor and provided to the oversight engineer for review and approval. The plans
must be approved by the oversight engineer for submittal, review and approval to local and State
regulatory entities for the acquisition of the demolition permit. Four weeks were allocated for this
process. These plans specific to the demolition scope of work are anticipated to be as follows:
• Demolition / Construction Execution Plan
• Site specific Health and Safety Plan
• Implosion Work and Safety Plan
• Salvage Management Plan
• Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
• Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
• Remedial Action Work Plan?
• Quality Control Plan
• CPM Schedule
• Final Report
1.2.2 Task 2: Demolition Contractor Mobilization
Site Mobilization is expected to take approximately fifteen (15) days. The following shows the labor and
equipment that will mobilize to the site to begin the work. The costs for management are carried under in
the General Conditions portion of the Demolition estimate found in Section 1.2.12.

1.2.3 Task 3: Site Setup, Install Erosion Control Measures, Utility Cut and Cap
Site setup activities are expected to take three and one half (3.5) months and are concurrent with the
completion of the utility cut and cap task and installation of the erosion control measures. Utility cut and
caps are expected to progress for approximately eight (8) weeks starting with any utilities associated with
the boiler house, the admin building, and turbine hall and along with the utilities associated with the outer
buildings. This task also calls for the retaining of one of the plant engineers that will serve as liaison to
the contractor and the plant in assisting with providing information that may require attention in the
planning stages of the project or to guide setup activities
As part of this task, the crew will also be setting up the site office trailer, communications, preliminary
steel preparation and staging areas, site scale calibration and performing recertification of the overhead
cranes. Some of the equipment will be transported to the site on multiple trailers such as the larger
excavators, and associated attachments. The large cranes and other long reach equipment crane will arrive
when the coal conveyor and high reach duct and pipe racks are ready for dismantlement in addition to the
silos.
A critical component of the utility cut and cap program will involve all lock out tag out requirements for
the project. The selected demolition contractor and engineer must be required to provide its LOTO
procedures for this work and must demonstrate that its program meets all Huntington Station, OSHA,
state and local regulatory requirements.
The following table shows the labor and equipment that will mobilize to the site to begin the work.

1.2.4 Task 4: Water Intake Pipes Plug and Grout
The plugging and grouting of the Water Intakes will be performed by installing inflatable plugs into the
intakes followed by plugging the pipes with cement below grade. All above grade portions of the intake
pipe will be removed and cut to 1 foot below grade and backfilled. The Rough Order Magnitude (ROM)
demolition estimate budgets four (4) weeks to perform this task. The resources required for this effort are
as follows:

1.2.5 Task 5: Close the Coal Pile – Remove All Waste Coal, Minimize backfill, Grade and Seed
This task requires the closure of both coal piles at Huntington Station. The coal pile adjacent to the power
block will require addressing first and then the coal pile up the road from the plant will be addressed. The
estimate assumes that prior to arrival of the demolition team most of the usable coal would be sold by the
plant or mostly used up as part of plant operations. It also assumes that the conveyor tunnels would
remain in place but opened and backfilled with existing residual material, or material from the site. All
coal pile structures would be removed and scrapped. The coal pile barn will also be removed and
scrapped. Residual coal remaining over the total 1,182,350 SF (i.e. 560,280SF for the pile with the coal
barn structure and 622,070 SF for the pile adjacent to the plant) area of both coal piles will be covered
using about 4-6 inches of on-site material and seeded over. This work can occur in parallel with the
removal of the outer plant structures, or can be scheduled during plant decommissioning. It is anticipated
that four (4) months would be required for the closure and restoration of the coal piles collectively.
The resources anticipated for this phase of the work is as follows:

1.2.6 Task 6: Dismantle All Outer Structures, Admin Building, Support Buildings, Coal Conveyors,
Tank, Vessels, Precipitators, Scrubbers
Task 6 begins with the removal of all out structures outside of the plant’s Power Block (i.e. outside of the
boiler house and turbine structures). The compliment of Cat 345 excavators equipped with grappling
attachments will begin the dismantlement of exterior tanks the crusher house structure, the scrubber
buildings, the cooling towers, the coal conveyors and precipitators. All support buildings and those
structures associated with the emissions treatment systems will also be removed as part of this task. The
intent is to create as much room as possible around the power block for the safe implosion of the boiler
house structure. It will also create additional safe operating room for processing of all removed non-
structural steel in the form of equipment from the first two floors of each boiler house to lighten the
structure as much as possible, along with ample lay down room for the removal of the coal conveyors
which is scheduled later in the task.
Crews will be working within the power block concurrently with this task cutting and removing piping
runs, wire and plate steel. The crews will also systematically go through the boiler houses further
preparing the structure for implosion. A 100 ton crane will be on site to address the removal of this
segment of the conveyor near the coal barn coal pile. The crane will support the weight of this conveyor
segment while a cutting crew performs partial cut away of this segment for lay down. The estimate
assumes that the coal conveyor from the mine will be terminated where it intersects the coal pile footprint
adjacent to the coal barn. The conveyor that remains will be blocked off and protected from unauthorized
access. The demolition work plan must address this critical lift for this critical part of the operation.
As previously discussed, the transmission line support will have to be relocated to keep these
transformers in service prior to powerhouse demolition. It is assumed that required relocation activities
will be completed prior to the initiation of demolition, and there is budget to remove the lines back to the
designated support tower well away from the turbine building to allow for protection of the asset during
implosive demolition/dismantlement of the turbine building structure.
Task 6 is anticipated to take approximately eight and three quarter (8.75) months or 175 working days to
complete. All scrap generated as a result of the removal of the outer structures will be processed for
loadout to the scrap recycler while general demolition and construction debris will be transported to a
local landfill. Metal scrap from the outer structures and other associated metals will be separately staged
for eventual steel recycling. Sizable concrete (< 2 foot by 2 foot) generated from the hammering of the
pedestals and silos will be staged and reused for eventual backfill where needed. Size reduction will take
place to accommodate fill use around the site as demolition proceeds.

1.2.7 Task 7: Dismantle the Turbine Generators
Task 7 involves the dismantlement of the 4 turbines within the turbine hall structure. All associated
equipment will also be removed from the building for salvage processing to the preparation areas. The
overhead cranes within Turbine Hall should remain energized and will be re-certified for use to
accommodate removal of this equipment to open bay area of Turbine Hall. The condensers for each
turbine will also be removed. The overhead crane will lift segments of the turbines for placement onto
lowboy trucks that will remove the equipment in route for salvage preparation and/or asset sale. This task
may also involve the removal of interior asbestos material within the turbines themselves. The
buyers/contractor’s lift plan and rigging arrangements must be reviewed and approved by the oversight
engineer and plant management prior to the onset of this work. The task is expected to take 6 months to
complete. The anticipated resource requirements for this task are as follows:

1.2.8 Task 8: Dismantle Turbine Generator Building
Task 8 involves the dismantlement of the Turbine building once all of the major equipment and
appurtenances are removed from the structure. The Turbine Building Structure measures approximately
495 feet x 185 feet. A removal rate of roughly 3,000 square feet per day has been applied to this task
duration for the estimate with additional contingency. The turbine building will be dismantled up to
where the Turbine building physically meets the Unit 1-4 boiler house structure. All internal and
associated tanks will also be removed as part of this task. A crew will systematically begin the
dismantlement of the turbine hall structure and remove all steel components for the recovery of ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. The processing of these materials will take place concurrently with the removal
of all piping and no structural support steel being removed from the lower floors of the adjacent Boiler
House structure that is being performed as part of Task 9.
The dismantlement of the Turbine building is expected to take approximately 35 days to perform. Table
22 shows the resources for Task 8.

1.2.9 Task 9: Prepare Boiler Structure for Implosion; Implode Boiler House Structure Units 1-2
The preparation of the boiler house structure involves the removal of all non-structural supporting
components for processing and recycling. The purpose for the removal is to create enough void space
low in the structures to accommodate the collapse of the structure during implosion. The removal will
involve two excavators that will work exclusively in removing all ferrous and non-ferrous assets from the
lowermost floors and a high reach excavator to remove interior equipment from outside of the structure.
Labor crews equipped with torches will also work to cutaway interior equipment prior to preparing the
building for implosion. The demolition contractor and the implosion contractor will coordinate all of
these activities in accordance to the approved implosion work and safety plan. The estimate also includes
the preparation and implosion of the stacks to be performed simultaneously with the implosion of the
boiler house structures. It is anticipated that 4.5 months will be required for this task. Table 23
summarizes the resources in the estimate for Task 9.

1.2.10 Task 10and 11: Prepare and Process Steel, Load and Salvage
In essence the preparation and processing of all recyclable materials on site will be a continuous site task
throughout the project. Manpower will vary throughout the duration of the project as the processing task
evolves from the processing of material resulting from the demolition of the main plant structures to the
processing of the outer plant structures. To process material from the outer buildings and the power block
of the plant, 240 working days were allocated to process and prepare steel. An additional 87 working
days were allocated for loadout. A total of approximately 327 days are collectively allocated in the ROM
estimate for processing, preparation and eventual load out of all salvageable/recyclable metal. These
tasks are separately presented in the cost estimate but are consolidated here. This task is approximate due
to several factors for example, the sequencing of dismantlement tasks that can be scheduled concurrently
thus shortening the duration of the overall schedule, space availability developed as a result of
dismantlement activities, and the availability of trucking. An estimate of the resources for this task is
found in Table 24 as follows:

Huntington Plant has two separate coal piles, one aux pile on the plant side and one across the road with a coal barn
As per current operating standards:
Balloon plugs will be used for insertion into the discharge line as a cement retainer that will then be displaced by concrete or flowable fill to seal below grade.
This task handles the cost for plugging any water intake and discharge lines feeding the plant with process water
Assumes no offsite disposal of coal material
No import of backfill; the tunnels beneath the coal pile will be compromised and backfilled with residual coal or clean material from elsewhere on site
Cut, fill and grade pile to allow for positive runoff
Coal will be depleted to the greatest extent practible
Assumed coal will be used to greatest extent possible with 6 inch residual layer that will remain left in placed, covered and vegetated
Assume the Coal pile Area will naturally percolate
Close the Coal Piles - Dismantle the coal barn building and Remove
The transmission asset detachment from turbine bldg wall will occur in this task. Trans lines to be moved off Turbine Hall wall to nearest dead end structure to allow for
Most terminations will be done on plant floor drains. Underground fuel lines will be pulled near the vessel and plugged but not removed from the subsurface unless
accessible.

Project: DRAFT Huntington Plant DismDate: Thu 9/4/14
1.4 Schedule
2.0 Environmental
The following section presents a summary of environmental considerations and projected costs for the
decommissioning and demolition of the Huntington Generating Station and surrounding grounds in its
entirety. Estimated closure costs are summarized in the table below.
Closure Area Estimated Cost
Asbestos Abatement $7,346,439
Environmental Permits/Plans $75,000
Hazardous/Universal Waste Disposal $725,000
Pond Closure $8,190,210
Landfill Closure $12,500,000
Remediation of Soils and Groundwater $470,000
Total Estimated Environmental Costs $29,306,649

2.1 Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos surveys have been previously conducted at the generating station and PacifiCorp has been
actively removing asbestos containing materials (ACM). PacifiCorp provided CB&I with its projected
removal cash flows from 2014 through 2038 for removal of ACM at the plant. The sum of these cash
flows is $7,346,439. Therefore a total asbestos abatement expenditure of $7,346,439 has been included in
the demolition study.
2.2 Environmental Permits/Plans
A number of environmental permits and plans will be required prior to and during decommissioning and
demolition of the generating station. Two main categories of permits exists: 1) active permits such as
Title V Air Emissions and NPDES water discharge that will need to be cancelled, and 2) demolition
permits/plans that will need to be obtained by the demolition contractor.
CB&I has incorporated an allowance of $75,000 for the cancellation of active permits and obtaining new
demolition permits and plans.
2.3 Hazardous and Universal Waste Disposal
Hazardous materials are located through the main generating station, support facilities and in equipment,
tanks, piping, drums and totes. For the purposes of this study it is assumed that hazardous materials not
stored in containers (tanks, drums and totes) will be used entirely or sent to another plant for use. These
materials are commonly used by the maintenance department and would include commercial-sized
products such as spray paint, solvents, greases, oils, etc…
To determine the cost of hazardous wastes during decommissioning and demolition, CB&I primarily
considered the amount of product stored onsite in storage tanks, totes and drums. Based on the SPCC
plan provided by PacifiCorp, there are 46 aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and equipment reservoirs
storing oil-based products such as fuel oil, lube oil, diesel fuel, gasoline and used oil with a total capacity
of 304,215-gallons. In addition the plan estimates there are 37 drums (55-gallons each) onsite storing oil-
based products. Finally, the SPCC plan lists 81 transformers with a total capacity of 148,960-gallons
storing mineral oil.
PacifiCorp provided CB&I with a plant layout drawing that identified structures, storage tanks, process
tanks and silos. CB&I also reviewed Huntington’s 2013 Tier II report which contains an inventory of all
hazardous substances stored on site in amounts greater than 10,000 pounds or 500 pounds for extremely
hazardous substances, such as sulfuric acid. From this information CB&I added 21 ASTs and silos
storing non-oil products to determine disposal costs.
No inventories of hazardous and universal wastes were conducted as part of this study so CB&I relied on
the data provided in the SPCC plan, Tier II report and other demolition studies of similar generating
stations. Universal wastes include items such as fluorescent lamps, batteries and mercury containing
devices. For disposal of hazardous wastes not contained in tanks, drums or totes an allowance was
estimated. No inventory was conducted for compressed gases so an allowance was also made for disposal
of the cylinders.
Item Estimated Cost
Removal and disposal of product in tanks, totes, drums and transformers $375,000
Cleaning and rinsing of storage tanks $110,000
Other hazardous waste disposal $75,000
Other universal waste disposal $40,000
Compressed gases disposal $100,000
Laboratory analytical costs for determining disposal $25,000
Total $725,000
Assumptions:
• All tanks, totes, drums and transformers are at 25% of capacity at time decommissioning starts
• Silos storing fly ash and lime will be empty by the start of decommissioning and any remaining
product disposed in onsite landfills and/or ponds
• Used oils, diesel and gasoline can be recycled
• Mineral oils in transformers do not contain PCBs
• Transformers will be drained but not cleaned
• Tank structures and transformers are included in salvage value estimates

2.4 Pond Closure
The Huntington Generating Station has several ponds for storage of plant wastewater discharges and
stormwater control. PacifiCorp provided CB&I with estimated closure costs as noted in the table below.
Pond Name Capacity (acre feet) Contains CCR? Estimated Closure Cost
Scrubber Pond 4 Yes $55,200
Sludge Pond 3 No $35,100
Raw Water Pond 336 No $3,931,200
Evaporation Pond 329 No $3,849,300
Duck Pond 6 No $70,200
New Ash Pile Pond 10 No $114,660
New Race Horse Flat Stock Pond 2 No $17,550
Holding Pond 8 No $93,600
Polishing Pond 1 No $11,700
Coal Yard Storm Water Retention 1 No $11,700
Total $8,190,210
The estimated closure costs provided by PacifiCorp were based on the following assumptions:
• RCRA Subtitle D regulations promulgated 12/19/2014, enforced 6/19/2015,
• Evapotranspiration Dome closure methodology: 1) dewatering, 2) base solidification, 3) fill layer
placement, 4) vegetative layer placement, 5) re-vegetation,
• CCR Pond Closure Cost ($/acre-ft) is $13,800 based on FGD Pond #1 actual closure cost, and
• Non-CCR Pond Closure Cost ($/acre-ft) is $11,700 based on TetraTech/S&L estimate
In addition to the ponds listed above, Huntington Generating Station obtains its raw water from Electric
Lake, located approximately 25 miles west of the plant. Water is conveyed from the lake via Huntington
Creek to the plant. The capacity of Electric Lake is 31,800 acre-feet. PacifiCorp provided CB&I with an
estimated closure cost of $372 million. However, the closure cost for Electric Lake has not been included
in this study because the future of the pond is unclear. It is possible the pond will be maintained for
future recreational usage by the National Forest Service.
2.5 Landfill Closure
PacifiCorp provided CB&I with an estimated landfill closure cost of $12,500,000. This cost covers both
landfills and includes post-closure monitoring. Please note that the landfills around the generating station
are closed as the individual units are filled so final landfill closure costs may vary depending upon the
generating station decommissioning date.
2.6 Remediation of Contaminated Soils and Groundwater
The generating station is currently undergoing remedial efforts associated with groundwater
contamination. PacifiCorp provided CB&I with a current estimated cost of $220,000 to complete
remediation efforts. Remedial efforts are ongoing so costs are expected to decrease over time.
As the generating station is decommissioned and buildings/structures demolished, it is likely that
additional contamination will be discovered during this process and require remedial actions. Therefore
CB&I has placed an allowance of $250,000 into the closure estimate to cover potential future remediation
costs. The total closure cost for remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater is estimated to be
$470,000.

3.0 Salvage
The salvage value associated with the Huntington Station Generating Facility was compiled and estimated
using available drawings of the plant’s structural steel, equipment specifications available at the plant, and
actual measurements taken during the onsite inspection. The team conducted a review of critical
documents provided by PacifiCorp. The team conducted a brief walk-down visually confirming the data
provided in the documents, as well as speaking directly with plant personnel to answer critical questions.
As a result of these valuation methods, the total weights of ferrous metals (steel), non-ferrous metals
(copper and brass), stainless steel, and other alloys have been estimated and are presented below in Table
1. All ferrous and non-ferrous weights are reported in gross tons.

All Structural Steel and Recoverable
Rebar 7,228

Facility Totals 18,525 961 414
** Boilers and boiler tubes are included in Equipment line item.

The salvage summary is presented in Table 2. Based on the remote location of the plant, the scrap that is
recycled will need to be transported to a larger metropolitan area. All material will be required to leave
site by truck, however, transferring to rail car may prove more cost effective depending on the distance to
the recycler. The cost associated with shipping the material to market is included in the demolition cost
analysis. The value of the salvage summary is based on the latest market values as published by the
American Metals Market. A detailed summary is also included in section 3.3. When a large plant, such as
Huntington, is decommissioned, it is ideal to negotiate with several scrap dealers to determine who will
provide the best value for the material. Costs associated with processing and material sizing as well as
transporting should be included in the financial analysis when selecting a dealer.

3.1 Materials by Category
3.1.1 Structural Steel and Rebar
There is a considerable amount of structural steel used in the construction of a power plant which
includes I-beams and other structural shapes, as well as tanks, vessels and duct work constructed of plate
steel. Rebar is also a sizable portion of the overall recoverable steel depending on the extent of
demolition. The flue stacks, main and boiler feed pump turbine pedestals, and other concrete silos
contain rebar throughout their structures.

The structural steel and rebar summary for the plant includes:
• the steam turbine building
• the boiler houses
• areas to include the Units 1/2
• coal conveyor and coal yard area

The rebar summary includes:
• flue stacks, lime storage silo and fly ash storage silo
• steam turbine generator pedestals
• foundation rebar
3.1.2 Boiler Material
The boiler steam drums, water walls, economizers and reheat and superheat pendants were included in
this material summary. Boiler area piping to include the boiler drains, downcomers, and headers are also
included in the bulk of boiler material in the ferrous salvage material estimate. All of the boiler material is
assumed to be carbon steel and is reflected in the overall salvage value accordingly. Some alloy rich
sections may have additional value depending on arrangements with the scrap purchaser. Generally scrap
yards follow the line of thought that if a magnet sticks to the material, then it is carbon steel. If a magnet
does not adhere to the material then it is stainless. Clearly marked grades of stainless steel have varying
values, which should be specified with the scrap purchaser.

3.1.3 Heat Exchangers
An array of heat exchangers were identified and incorporated into the overall salvage total. Heat
exchangers, specifically shell and tube style represent a significant amount of weight for both carbon steel
for the shell and stainless steel or brass for the tubes. The heat exchangers are comprised primarily of the
surface condensers, LP and HP feedwater heaters, lube oil coolers, closed cooling water coolers and the
gland steam condenser.

The condensers for each of the steam turbines are surface style condenser consisting of a large “box”
made of carbon steel with an array of tubes in a wet open looped cooling water arrangement with cooling
water being provided from the onsite cooling towers. The tubes in the Units 1 and 2 condensers were
identified as Admiralty brass, which has a copper content of 70 percent, and valued accordingly.

Since the deaerators and respective storage tanks are a direct contact heat exchanger it does not have
copper or stainless steel tubes, which provide additional salvage value as with the feedwater heaters and
the condensers. The weights were calculated from storage tank dimensions and an estimated thickness of
the steel. This value has been included in the ferrous material salvage estimate.

There were other smaller heat exchangers identified on site such as hydrogen coolers, equipment cooling
water and lube oil coolers which are included in the material salvage estimate. Heat exchanger shell
weights are included in the ferrous summary and the tubes are all assumed to be stainless steel, which is
captured in the stainless summary.

3.1.4 Rotating Equipment
The rotating equipment section includes the motor weights as well, so there is both ferrous material and
copper. Rotating equipment for each boiler area includes boiler circulation pumps, forced draft fans,
primary air fans, induced draft fans, coal feeders and coal pulverizers and other equipment that is captured
in the ferrous material estimate. The motors for these pieces of equipment will have additional value due
to the copper windings. The rotor and frame have been included in the ferrous material estimate, and the
windings have been included in the copper material estimate.

The age of the variety of pumps throughout the plant site lend them to have little resale value. This
includes the boiler feed pumps, circulating water pumps, lube oil pumps and other turbine support
systems. As part of the estimate they were included in the ferrous material estimate. The motors for these
pieces of equipment will have additional value due to the copper windings. The rotor and frame have been
included in the ferrous material estimate and the windings have been included in the copper material
estimate.

3.1.5 Turbine/Generator Set
The turbines are reheat style with high-pressure, intermediate pressure and cross-over style low pressure
turbines and exhaust to surface condensers. The design utilizes extraction steam for condensate and feed
water heating. The casings, rotors, steam flow control and turbine stop valves and associated equipment
have been included in the ferrous material salvage estimate. Each primary steam turbine is connected to a
generator. The generators, rotors and stators have been evaluated and divided into ferrous for a portion of
the rotor and casing of the stator and the remaining weight represented in the copper material salvage
estimate.

3.1.6 Cabling
Power plants require a large amount of cabling to power the equipment and provide communication and
indication to the control room. Copper currently has the greatest scrap value of any material on-site, and
its’ removal and reselling should be maximized. It is recommended that the pulling of cable occur early
on in the project to maximize the amount that is recovered. The copper is around 40% more valuable if
the insulation has been removed. Depending on the insulation material, it is encouraged to have a
insulation stripping operation to ensure maximum revenue. Some insulation contains asbestos, which
complicates the removal process.

3.1.7 Piping and Valves
Piping is routed throughout the plant site. The salvage summary includes the major connecting systems
such as condensate, feedwater, main steam and service water. While some of the feedwater and balance of
plant steam piping may be steel alloys, all of the piping was conservatively valued as carbon steel.
Additionally, the piping in condensate systems are often stainless steel, which accounts for additional
value compared to carbon steel.

3.1.8 Transformers
Transformers have the highest potential resale because they are able to be reconditioned and returned to
service. For the purposes of this report, as requested by PacifiCorp, CB&I conservatively estimated the
value of generating station transformers as recycled material. The analysis accounted for transformers
from the GSU into the plant. The large switchyard and its’ assets was assumed to belong to the
transmission company, and therefore not included in this analysis. The primary transformers identified as
part of the decommissioning of the facility are the Generator Step Up (GSU) transformers, the unit
auxiliary transformers, and the start-up transformers. The transformer shells and portions of their cores
have been included in the ferrous material estimate. The copper windings in the transformers have been
included in the copper material estimate.

3.1.9 Tanks and Ductwork
Tanks and ductwork represent a significant portion of carbon steel salvage. Examples of tanks include the elevated water storage tank, condensate and condensate polishing vessels, other water storage tanks,
lube oil reservoirs, compressed air receivers, fuel oil storage tanks, coal silos, scrubber vessels and stack
liners as well as the abandoned steel stacks. The majority of the ductwork is represented in the boiler area, both up and downstream of the boiler. The interconnections to precipitators, baghouses, scrubbers
and stacks are a significant portion of the salvage estimate.
3.1.10 Spare Parts
Spare parts are not accounted for in this analysis as it is assumed that spares are either returned to
suppliers for a credit or transported to other sites for re-use. Depending on the quantity and type of
spares, there is a possibility of additional revenue that should be looked at when it becomes time for
decommissioning. Additionally shop tools, machine shop tools and other portable equipment such as
welding machines can also be sold. Again, this is a task that should be performed just prior to plant
decommissioning. Other issues to keep in mind are that unlike metal salvage, where revenue is able to be
recognized during the decommissioning and demolition process as the materials are taken to the metal
recycler, parts and equipment resale revenue requires a longer lead time. Direct sales and marketing
activities associated with monetizing spare parts inventory typically will require one to two years to
initiate revenue generation with no certainty for resale. Not all parts generate revenue for the project as
the probability of resale is low.

3.2 Market Analysis of Salvage Prices
A critical component of the valuation assessment of the ACE facility is the determination of commodity
pricing for ferrous and non-ferrous metals to be used in the estimate. As discussed further in this section
development of commodity pricing requires an understanding of local, regional and global conditions.
CB&I developed a current market analysis (August 2014) which shows fluctuation in scrap metal prices
across the United States associated with proximity to steel mills and other metal processing facilities.
According to data gathered from American Metal Market (AMM) publications show the average price for
scrap steel delivered to the mill varied from a low $300.00/gross ton in the San Francisco area to a high of
$367.00/gross ton in Pittsburgh. The price range is shown in Table 3.

Table 3 – August 2014 Scrap Price for Steel Across the United States (per gross ton)
Price/ Gross Ton
Birmingham Chicago Detroit Pittsburgh
$360.00 $363.00 $363.00 $367.00 $358.00
Source: AMM

With the global market for materials some scrap metals are exported to other countries for reprocessing.
The metals are prepared and then sent to the nearest port for shipment overseas. The price paid for scrap
steel to be shipped overseas also varies throughout the country. The average price for scrap steel delivered
to the port was provided by AMM’s August Export Yards Buying Prices data and is shown in Table 4.

Table 4 – August 2014 Export Yard Scrap Steel Prices (per ton)
Steel Scrap $330.00 $280.00 $328.00 $328.00 $295.00
Source: AMM

To provide some perspective of the annual range of steel pricing, as well as multi-year fluctuations, the
three city composite monthly scrap price for ferrous materials over the last two years is shown in Table 6.
The three cities included in the average are Chicago, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Pricing provided for ferrous materials in this valuation assessment reflects an unprepared condition,
considered conservative for the estimate. Prepared steel, for example heavy melt that was processed on
site into 2’x5’ pieces, would generate a per ton price that is 10-30% higher than unprepared material.
Please note that on-site processing may result in an increase in demolition costs to compensate for
additional equipment and manpower to complete processing tasks.

1.0 Project Description
For each of the four sites, during Phase I of the work conducted under PacifiCorp
Purchase Order Number 3000100237, CB&I has prepared the Design Basis that will
include; a long-term site basis, a decontamination basis, a decommissioning basis, a
demolition basis, and a remediation basis. The four plants included in this study are:
• Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3, and 4;
• Currant Creek Plant;
• Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2; and
• Dave Johnston Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The Design Basis for each plant establishes minimum engineering specification
requirements for future development of project technical specification packages, and
provides a baseline for the Phase II engineering cost estimate. This Design Basis
document consists of a description of each project component (i.e. long term condition,
decontamination, decommissioning, demolition, and remediation) and has been
developed as a single document, with sections associated with each plant and the
associated sub-bases identified above.
2.0 Site Description
2.1 Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
The Jim Bridger Plant has a generating capability of 2,120 Megawatts (MW) of
electricity. Approximately 1,411 MW of this output is owned by PacifiCorp while the
remainder is provided to co-owner Idaho Power. The plant is located on a 1,000 acre
site about 30 miles northeast of Rock Springs, Wyoming and was commissioned in
1974.
The four operating units at Jim Bridger Station burn between 8 to 9 million tons of sub-
bituminous coal per year. About two-thirds of the coal is supplied by the Jim Bridger
mine, which is owned and operated by PacifiCorp. The operation at Jim Bridger mine
produces between 4 to 4.5 million tons of coal per year from the underground operation
and between 1 to 1.5 million tons from the surface operation. The coal is delivered by a
2.4 mile belt conveyor. The remainder of the coal is delivered to the plant via rail from
other Wyoming sites.
The structure contains a 20-story boiler to produce steam that equates to 2,400 pounds
of pressure per square (psi) inch at 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
1 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
The units at Jim Bridger are equipped with electrostatic precipitators to control
particulate emission and wet scrubbers using soda ash waste to control sulfur-dioxide
emissions. Scrubbers at all four units experienced an upgrade in 2007 to effectively
scrub almost 90 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions from the plant stacks.
2.2 Dave Johnston Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
The Dave Johnston Plant has four operating units that generate a total of 762 MW of
electricity. The plant is located on a 2,500 acre site near Glenrock, Wyoming. The plant
was commissioned in 1958.
The Dave Johnston plant burns as much as 4 million tons per year of sub-bituminous
coal that formerly came from the nearby Dave Johnston mine, but that is currently
imported to the plant by rail from other Wyoming area mines. The coal is burned by a
20-story boiler to produce steam that is 2,400 pounds of pressure psi at nearly 1,000 °F.
Cooling water discharge is returned to the Platte River, which runs through the plant site.
Units 1, 2 and 3 are equipped with electrostatic precipitators to control particulate
emissions while the Unit 4 boiler is fitted with a wet particulate scrubber that collects
both particulate matter and sulfur dioxide. A filter bag-house was installed in Unit 3 in
2010 and has been planned for installation in Unit 4. Additionally Units 3 and 4 have
been fitted with low-nitrogen oxide burners.
Reclamation efforts accompanying the surface mining operation since 1965 were
ramped up in 1999 and completed in 2005.
2.3 Currant Creek Plant
The Currant Creek Plant is a 550 MW plant located near Mona, Utah and covers a 160-
acre site. The generating facility is comprised of a twin combined-cycle gas turbine and
steam turbine plant that was commissioned in 2005. Questar provides natural gas as
fuel to the plant through a 1,075 psi pressurized pipeline capable of delivering 90,000
million British Thermal Units (BTU) per day to the facility. Heat recovery steam
generators receive 1,125 °F exhaust gas from the turbines and heat water into steam
and pass it through a conventional steam turbine at 1,951 psi. Each heat recovery boiler
has the capability for “duct firing’ burning natural gas to supplement the exhaust gas
energy which produces additional steam to the steam turbine. The exhaust steam is
passed through an air-cooled condenser transforming the steam back into water for
reuse in the heat recovery unit. Thirty large motor driven fans blow air across the
radiator tubes to condense the steam into water. Water for the Currant Creek operation
is delivered from two deep bore wells located outside of Mona, Utah.
The combined-cycle process is credited for increasing efficiency at Currant Creek from
the 36 percent (%) efficiency that conventional gas turbines offer to 55 % efficiency and
thus providing a benefit in reduced emissions due to significantly reduced fuel usage.
2 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
The plant is nearly a zero-emission site because the combined-cycle unit does not use
coal as an expendable fuel source and because the boiler is equipped with nitrogen
oxide emission controls, selective catalytic reduction, and a carbon monoxide catalyzer.
2.4 Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2
The Huntington Plant is comprised of two units located on a 1,000-acre tract located
near Huntington City, Utah. Unit 1 was commissioned in 1974 and Unit 2 was
commissioned in 1977. The combined production of Units 1 and 2 is 895 MW of
electricity. Each of the units is equipped with sulfur dioxide emission controls.
Each year, the Huntington Plant burns three million tons of sub-bituminous coal that is
supplied by a 2.4 mile conveyor from the nearby Deer Creek Mine, which is owned and
operated by PacifiCorp. The boiler at the Huntington Plant is 15 stories tall and
produces steam at 2,400 psi and nearly 1,005 °F.
Most of the water for operation of the plant is drawn from the Huntington River Sufficient
water for plant use is released to the Huntington River from the Electric Lake reservoir
23 miles north of the plant in Huntington Canyon.
3.0 Site Design Basis
3.1 Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
3.1.1 Long-term Site Basis
Numerous options exist for development of the long-term site basis. Options that
may be available to the Owner include the following:
• Restoration to green-field conditions;
o Back to natural (native conditions)
• Restoration to brown-field conditions;
o Property is prepared for reuse as an industrial facility (as determined by individual state and Federal requirements)
• Development of alternate commercial/industrial use under a lease agreement;
o Retain property as an investment for reuse
• Site divestiture;
o Complete turnover of property to another entity
Until these alternatives can be further explored with the Owner, and for initial
pricing purposes, CB&I assumes that the preferred long-term site basis is
associated with restoration to “brown-field conditions”, generally meaning there
are use or development restrictions on the site, with complete removal of site
structures to top of slab. This post-closure condition will include perimeter control
with remediation efforts completed to remove direct contact exposure pathways
3 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite

associated with legacy operations. CB&I also assumes that distribution and
transmission assets will remain operational at the plant. This assumption affects
scope assumptions associated with the development of the decommissioning
basis, the demolition basis, and the remediation basis as well.
3.1.2 Decontamination Basis for the Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
At the Jim Bridger Plant, activities associated with decommissioning, demolition
preparation, equipment conditioning, and demolition may generate a variety of
solid, universal and hazardous waste materials. The decontamination basis
includes cleanup, removal and disposition of materials that require special
handling or disposal prior to demolition. The decontamination basis describes the
required condition of the power plant with regard to hazardous materials, oils,
fuels, and regulated wastes and materials prior to the start of decommissioning
and the start of demolition. The decontamination basis specifically addresses the
type of hazardous material, as well as the source. The types of hazardous
materials may include lead, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB),
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), radio isotopes, oils, fuels and miscellaneous
hazardous materials such as mercury, acid, caustic, solvents and other
materials. The sources of PCBs are expected to include, but may not be limited
to, lamp fixtures and ballasts and the sources of CFC are expected to include,
but may not be limited to, air conditioning systems and air conditioning
compressor oils.
The decontamination basis includes consideration of the processes and
procedures for the identification, segregation, stockpiling, containerization of
hazardous materials, waste characterization required for waste classification, and
off-site disposal. Batteries, mercury containing equipment, lamps/bulbs, PCB
contaminated oil, and any other miscellaneous universal wastes requiring
disposal due to demolition will be priced to include, handling, transportation,
labor, and proper disposal.
As required by 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M, also known as the National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), asbestos containing materials
that may become damaged or friable during demolition activities must be
removed prior to demolition. The decontamination basis will include the
consideration of asbestos abatement requirements based on materials identified
in the ACM survey provided by PacifiCorp and quantified by CB&I during the site
visit, which will not include asbestos sampling.
3.1.3 Decommissioning Basis for the Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
For the purposes of this discussion decommissioning is defined as follows:
• Decommissioning – to render a facility safe and environmentally compliant
4 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
(neutral) through equipment/facility de-energization, removal of environmental
liabilities, and perimeter security.
The decommissioning basis is developed basis on the selected long-term site
basis and determination of demarcation between decommissioning and utility
terminations prior to demolition.
The decommissioning basis will identify requirements for taking the Jim Bridger
Plant Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 from their current state to a condition where the units
and associated powered equipment have been permanently de-energized and
process related chemicals, fuels, waste and residual materials have been
removed. The decommissioning basis will address utility systems isolation and
relocation, and asset recovery, as well as the de-energization of each unit, i.e.
execution of separation from the transmission yard.
System Layup
Initial system layup for Jim Bridger should represent the final configuration of the
plant. The goal is to eliminate any potential energy source from the facility.
Initial plan would be to put in place fire side, water side, scrubber, electrical, and
fuel Lock Out Tag Out’s (LOTO’s). This would allow a chance to do a stepped
approach to removing energy sources.
Initial system layup should include burning all remaining coal in surge bins and
daily silos. This removes potential hot-spot issues with coal remaining in closed
environments for extended periods.
Depending on time of year, water would need to be drained from all process
equipment. This includes all water cooled bearings, condensation return piping,
service water lines, pumps, un-needed fire water points, potable water piping,
and essentially anything that has freeze protection wrapping.
Electrical is usually the longest lead item for de-energizing a facility. If the entire
facility including switchyards are coming off-line, electrical de-energized can be
completed early. This will probably not be the case and therefore will have to
initially proceed on the stepped down LOTO approach. Once switchyards are
isolated the electrical isolation process can proceed.
Compressed air is an essential tool for an operating plant. The compressed air
lines run throughout the facility and can provide a much needed energy source
during decommissioning. It is proposed that the PacifiCorp decommissioning
contractor eliminate this source early. The reason is two-fold; First it eliminates a
potential energy source and therefore a safety issue. Second it is also an energy
opportunity cost and therefore will cost PacifiCorp money to generate
compressed air. It is suggested the decommissioning contractor supply their
own compressed air locally when needed.
5 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
The layup of Jim Bridger should include removal of coal from belts, water from all
exposed piping and pumps, LOTO electrical, (air gap, if possible, switchyard from
units). The goal is to use the least amount of LOTO’s as possible. This allows
greater freedom of access to the decommissioning contractor.
The last item at Jim Bridger for system layup would be any utility reroutes. If the
entire facility comes offline at the same time utility reroutes may not be needed.
If it is a phased approach, all utility reroutes will be required to be engineered.
This is about a year long process and if multiple owners are involved it can take a
little longer.
Asset Recovery
Asset recovery is the process of assigning values to systems and components
through detailed inventories, prior marketing, and available resources, removing
components and the subsequent sale of those items.
Motors, pumps, electrical gear and machine shop equipment can be used across
many industries and can be recovered for more value than scrap. The asset
recovery phase allows for potential recovery of higher return back to the owner,
as long as the equipment is in proper working order.
Jim Bridger asset recovery phase will be to perform an initial system by system
walk down to get an inventory list. The age of the Jim Bridger plant will
determine viability of asset sales or scrap values.
Asset recovery should start before the units are brought off-line, therefore
allowing the asset recovery contractor time to inventory create marketing
materials and align scrap material vendors. This step allows the greatest
flexibility for return on scrap and sale values.
A possible entire facility sale can be considered, but this option requires
considerable marketing efforts. The marketing effort should be started upon
should be started very early in the planning stage. Engineering support for the
transfer should be negotiated with a potential buyer early in the process.
Removal of Solid Fuels
Initial removal of fuels depends on PacifiCorp. The final off-line date can best
prepare the Jim Bridger plant for solid fuel removal. CB&I recommends that Jim
Bridger facility coordinate with energy marketing very early in the process to
effectively manage stockpiled coal. The best method of elimination is to burn all
possible coal stockpiles. If a thirty or seven day pile is kept on site, plan on
suppliers (mine mouth) cease deliveries. This allows the coal pile to be at a
minimum and therefore cost of remediation of remaining solid fuel can be
decreased.
6 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Solid fuels can be removed by trucking or by rail. Since Jim Bridger is connected
to a Union Pacific mainline, rail may be the most cost effective manner to remove
waste coal/solid fuel.
Lime for scrubber operations can be mitigated in much the same manner that
coal is mitigated. Early offline date determination and working with the supplier
will prevent excess on-hand material. All lime should be slaked even if not used
prior to shut down. Lime slurry can be used as a dust suppressant for roads and
should be considered as a disposal method if possible.
Further analysis of existing protocols will need to be verified to determine ratios
of mixtures of remaining environmental scrubber materials to determine best
method of handling and disposal.
Removal and Disposal of Ash
Ash can be handled in several methods and may be considered hazardous in the
near future. The easiest method would be to place ash back in mine if possible.
If this may not be feasible at Jim Bridger, disposition by excavation and rail car
loading is best method. Certified landfills would need to be determined once an
off-line date is proposed. The ash remediation is removal and over excavation.
Removal and disposal will be further defined upon final Jim Bridger site
determination.
Handling of Asbestos Inside Equipment and At Equipment Interfaces
During the decommissioning process, all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)
at interface points (gaskets, immediately adjoining piping, etc…) will be mitigated.
The suspected ACM will be treated as ACM and will be handled accordingly.
Initially most ACM at interface points can be mitigated utilizing a glove-bag
method. If PacifiCorp is utilizing an alliance partner during normal operations or
utilizing PacifiCorp personnel to mitigate interface points, it would be
advantageous to continue this procedure during decommissioning.
If no contract exists at time of decommissioning, a suggested path would be to
get a local contractor on board for small scale asbestos remediation. This allows
greater flexibility on schedule and costs.
Closing of Raw Water, Evaporation and Coal Combustion Residuals Ponds
Jim Bridger facility includes two raw water ponds, 8 small ponds, and 2
evaporative ponds. The raw water ponds should remain in place as potential
recreational facilities. This may require utility system redesign for pumps placing
water in ponds.
Evaporation ponds should have a predetermined on-board level and should have
an end date or potential fill date. The evaporation pond if lined may be allowed
to be capped in placed for final disposition and long term monitoring.
7 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Coal residual ponds will need to be drained and remediated. This design basis
will be further defined upon final disposition of facility. Initial remediation efforts
would be to drain and then over-excavate, replace with clean fill and reseed to
final grade.
All permits for Jim Bridger will be determined upon final site determination. Soil
remediation and reseeding efforts should be done with native grasses require
minimum watering after initial germination period.
3.1.4 Demolition Basis for the Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
For the purposes of this discussion dismantlement/demolition is defined as follows:
• Dismantlement/Demolition – to remove site infrastructure
including equipment, buildings, storage facilities, etc. Dismantlement
activities focus on revenue generation through initial equipment
liquidation and high value salvage activities, followed by overall facility
structural demolition.
The demolition basis describes the conditions and requirements that must be met
for the safe dismantlement/demolition of the plant, and for the closure and
reclamation of all residual holding ponds including the final long-term and short-

Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
as for the disposition of all process materials, such as concrete. In addition,
consideration will be given to any aspects of material reuse on site, such as the
necessary preparation and use of process backfill materials that can remain as
part of the final reclamation of the site.
Reclamation of the Site and Final Site Grading
The demolition basis will address final dismantlement of the plant to grade and
consideration of preparation of a final site grading plan that identifies all finished
grades after all structural foundations and subsurface infrastructure has been
removed, as well as materials slated for use to accomplish final grades. The Jim
Bridger mine is assumed to require reclamation; therefore, the demolition basis
will include consideration of the elements necessary for the restoration of the
surface topography of the mine property. And Incorporation of the final
reclamation of coal pile areas, retention basins, landfill areas or impoundments
must be included as part of the closure of the site.
Installation of Permanent Perimeter Control
The demolition basis will address the final perimeter control recommended for
the site. Perimeter fencing, if the primary means of establishing perimeter control
must including all specifications of the fencing required for installation including
all gates and appurtenances. Potential sources of perimeter control devices to be
used willl be discussed as part of the demolition basis.
Operating Permit Closeout
The demolition basis will include identification as part of the permit matrix the
status of closure of all operating permits. All existing permits will be listed with
their respective dispositions inclusive of lead times with commentary that
provides any issues and issue resolutions. The matrix should be maintained by
PacifiCorp’s contractors for the duration of the project through the final
reclamation phase.
Long-term Access Control
The demolition basis will include consideration of the long-term measures that
will be employed for ensuring adequate access control of the site once the
perimeter control measures have been installed. These measures will include an
inspection and maintenance schedule that will be required once the facility is
finally retired.

n. The basis for Contractor qualifications.
3.1.4.3 Demolition Sequencing
This section describes the General requirements for the sequencing of
construction activities that will be incorporated as part of the Demolition
Basis.
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Tasks
The demolition basis will include a table showing the general division of
responsibilities assigned between PacifiCorp, the Engineer and the
Contractor. This table should be prepared and finalized by the demolition
contractor and presented in the form of an Organization Chart with tie
lines clearly identifying the hierarchy of reporting inclusive of roles and
responsibilities for the demolition work. The demolition basis will include
the basis and assumptions for the management and handling of all
salvage and recycled materials.
Jim Bridger Plant submittals should encompass the following:
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Submittals:
• Project Plan; including plans and specifications for all aspects of the
decontamination, decommissioning, demolition, reclamation, water
management, and assessment and decontamination of the facility
12 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHASP)
• Permitting Matrix and Status
• Demolition Work Plan
• Permitting Plan
• Salvage Management Plan
• Site Grading and Reclamation Plan
Site Setup
Site setup will be addressed in the demolition basis and will clearly
identify the tasks to be performed in preparation for demolition. Typically
during site setup the demolition contractor should identify in the pre-
mobilization plans all aspects related to the mobilization of manpower,
equipment and materials that will be required as part of the work.
Additionally, tasks related to final preparations prior to the start of
dismantlement must also be considered in the design; examples of these
tasks include utility cuts and capping, de-energizing the station to a “dark”
state condition, identification of all critical lifts and rigging plans submitted
prior to the start of the dismantlement sequenced activities.
The demolition basis will address the steps and requirements for the
removal of all assets prior to dismantlement,. As part of the Demolition
Work Plan or under a separate header, the removal of assets should also
be addressed. The demolition contractor must submit the procedures for
all critical lifts and submit rigging plans priorto the start of the
dismantlement sequenced activities. Supplemental asbestos abatement
must also be part of the dismantlement and addressed as a contingency.
The demolition basis will also address post environmental cleaning of the
structure if necessary, and the requirement for controlling fugitive dust
emissions during dismantlement. As part of the SSHASP prepared by the
demolition contractor, air monitoring for fugitive dust emissions must be
included for the purposes of personal protection of the workers and the
community in accordance to OSHA requirements.
Plant Dismantlement
The demolition basis will address the recommended sequence of
activities to be undertaken by the selected demolition contractor. In
particular, the demolition basis will address the methods for:
Removal of Support Structures and outer buildings such as:
• Emission control structures;
• Coal handling equipment;
• Transformers;
13 | P a g e

• Electrical Transmission Towers to be removed;
• Utility cut and cap program (plant wide);
• Water intake System;
• Cooling Towers;
• Pumping Stations;
• Shops and Administrative Office Structures;
• On site Water Treatment;
• Transmission substations
• Fire suppression System;
Removal of Structures Related to the Power Block
• Turbines;
• Turbine Hall;
• Condensers;
• Turbine Pedestals and Gantry Crane;
• Turbine Building Structure;
• Above ground and underground storage tanks
• Boilers;
• Boiler Plant Structure;
• Control Center;
• Stacks

• Salvage Management and loadout
Reclamation and Closure of the Coal Pile and Ash Basins
• Closure Permitting of basins
• Removal of waste coal product off site
• Backfilling of the Coal Pile footprint
• Final Grading
• Topsoil and Seeding.
The demolition basis will also address the preferred methodology of
dismantlement to be acceptable given the structural makeup of all
aspects of the plant. Dismantlement scenarios may involve a piecemeal
removal of structures, removal of all interior appurtenances followed by a
controlled drop of the structure without explosives, or total implosion
scenario.
The review and approval procedure must be identified as part of the
demolition basis to ensure safe operations during dismantlement activities
14 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite

regardless of the method of dismantlement chosen by PacifiCorp’s
demolition contractor.
Structural Implosion
The demolition basis will include the considerations required for the
implosion of the structures. The basis for a controlled dismantlement via
implosion and the requirements thereof should consider:
• The methods for the development of the Implosion model;
• Structural Engineering Assessment of the implosion scenario;
• Health and safety;
• Fugitive dust control and monitoring;
• Explosive charges to be used;
• Community Relations.

3.1.5 Remediation Basis for the Jim Bridger Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
For the purposes of this study of the Jim Bridger Plant, the word “remediation”
refers to the reclamation of the property to the desired end-use and/or the
reversal or stopping of damage to the environment. The following remediation
basis outlines: the general approach to determining remediation needs to
address soil, surface water, and groundwater impacts; the anticipated
remediation/reclamation efforts to be performed after demolition completion;
describes the required condition of the power plant to provide the proper site
controls to facilitate the long-term site basis, and includes the site monitoring and
access controls needed during remediation activities.
Environmental Permit Closure
An initial step in determining the anticipated closure/remediation needs for the
site includes compiling a detailed summary of the existing environmental permits.
As part of the Phase II decommissioning study site inspections, the existing
environmental permits for the plant will be reviewed to determine the permit
closure requirements for engineering cost estimate evaluation.
Establishment of Remediation Cleanup Goals
Based on the assumption that the selected long-term site basis will be restoration
to “brownfield conditions”, it is assumed for the purpose of this study that the
remediation cleanup target goals will be based on an industrial exposure/re-use
scenario. Following the final decision to decommission the plant, it is
recommended that the site be evaluated to determine the best regulatory option
to guide the closure. There are two primary regulatory options to evaluate with
16 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ): 1. Closure of the
site through the use of existing permits, permit modifications, or new permit
applications; or 2. Enter the WDEQ Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP). A
pre-application meeting should be requested with the WDEQ to discuss the
appropriateness of the VRP to meet the site closure goals.
For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the VRP is the best option. The
final VRP agreement will clearly define remediation cleanup goals, engineering
controls, institutional controls, and post-closure care requirements, as applicable.
The engineering cost estimate evaluation will include estimated costs for the
development of the VRP application, application fees, and payment of WDEQ
department costs for the department’s oversight of the voluntary remediation.
Environmental Assessment Needs
Following the completion of a VRP application and approval of eligibility by
WDEQ, a site characterization is required that includes the following:
• Data and information gathering;
• Development of a Site Conceptual Model; and
• Preparation of a Site Characterization Work Plan that meets the performance
criteria outlined by the VRP.
The performance criteria include:
• site setting,
• known and potential sources of contamination,
• nature and distribution of contaminants and media properties,
• and human and ecological receptors.
To support assessment item (c) above, a Limited Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment should be completed, prior to plant decommissioning, that evaluates
recognized environmental conditions for all major site features (e.g., settling
ponds, scrubber ponds, storm water ponds, etc.) and all of the storage tanks
identified in the plant’s Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Plan.
For the pending engineering cost estimate evaluation (Phase II), no
environmental assessment activities are needed at this time. The engineering
cost estimate evaluation will include line item environmental assessment costs
based on PacifiCorp provided information regarding any documented releases
and professional experience from site assessments of similar scale.
Completed, On-going or Pending Remediation Projects
Information has been requested, but only partially provided, regarding any
completed, on-going, or pending remediation projects at the plant. This
information, along with a summary of any existing RCRA Solid Waste
17 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Management Units (SWMUs), will be needed to support the engineering cost
estimate evaluation. Additionally, any previously completed remediation
evaluations or budgetary cost estimates should be provided for reference. Based
on the preliminary information, there are on-going remediation projects at the
facility including the closure of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Pond #1 and an
ongoing recovery project from a large oil release.
Anticipated Remediation Projects
The following is a list of anticipated remediation projects that will be included as
line items in the engineering cost estimate evaluation:
• Completion of the on-going closure and remediation of FGD Pond #1 per permit requirements
• Closure and remediation of FGD Pond #2 under the permit prescribed closure
• Closure and reclamation of all evaporation ponds
• Closure and reclamation of the Jim Bridger Power Plant Industrial Landfill per
the operating permit closure requirements (WDEQ SHWD File #20.455)
• Continue the long-term monitoring programs for all site areas with on-going
groundwater monitoring programs
• Continue the on-going remediation project addressing the large oil release
(diesel fuel seep) including maintenance of the active construction permit and
continued annual reporting efforts
• Removal and reclamation of the railroad spurs located within the site
boundaries
• Closure of the fly ash storage area
• Closure of the Main Fuel Oil Storage Tank #1 (1,380,000 gallons), the
underground fuel oil pipeline, and Fuel Oil Storage Tank #2 (350,000 gallons)
• Closure of all four ash farm units
• Closure of the heavy equipment maintenance shop area
• Closure of the hazardous waste storage room area
• Closure of Lube Oil Tanks #3 and #4
• Closure of the C.W. Chemical Treatment Plant
• Closure of the Above Ground Storage Tank Vehicle Refueling Station (two
4,000-gallon unleaded tanks and one 8,000-gallon diesel tank)
• Closure of the three cooling tower transformer areas
• Closure of the radial stacker coal storage pile area
Potential Cost Savings
The active Jim Bridger Power Plant Industrial Waste Landfill can accept plant
generated wastes including paper products, plastic and metal drums, dirt, wood
products, lunch room wastes, scrap metal, drained filters, and digested domestic
wastewater treatment plant sludge. The current available storage capacity
18 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
should be evaluated so the landfill can be utilized to reduce disposal costs during
the decommissioning/demolition activities. The current Industrial Waste landfill
permit may require a permit modification to cover the acceptance of some of
decommissioning/demolition wastes.
The development of a site-wide final grading plan is recommended. The final
grading plan would evaluate cut-and-fill opportunities on the property to provide
soil cover materials to reduce the material costs for the cap-and-closure of the
existing landfills and closure of existing ponds.
Site Controls
The site will be remediated to VRP determined industrial cleanup standards
which will be protective for an industrial use exposure scenario. Site controls will
be developed on an as needed basis following soil sampling in potential
impacted areas. The foundation slabs will be left in place, providing an
engineered control to limit exposure. Final site grading will be designed to
mitigate erosion issues and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Long-term
monitoring and maintenance of the capped landfills will be estimated. Existing
site controls, such as security fencing, will be left in place and maintenance costs
estimated.
Site Monitoring and Access Controls
Site monitoring needs are unknown at this time and will be based on the
requirements of completed remediation projects. Access control during
remediation activities and post-closure monitoring will be included as a line item
cost.
3.1.6 Assumptions
(Reserved Pending Client Discussion)
3.2 Dave Johnston Units 1, 2, 3 & 4 Design Basis
3.2.1 Long-term Site Basis for Dave Johnston Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
Numerous options exist for development of the long-term site basis. Options that
may be available to the Owner include the following:
• Restoration to green-field conditions;
o Back to natural (native conditions)
• Restoration to brown-field conditions;
o Property is prepared for reuse as an industrial facility (as determined
by individual state and Federal requirements)
• Development of alternate commercial/industrial use under a lease
agreement;
19 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
o Retain property as an investment for reuse
• Site divestiture;
o Complete turnover of property to another entity

Until these alternatives can be further explored with the Owner, and for initial
pricing purposes, CB&I assumes that the preferred long-term site basis is
associated with restoration to “brown-field conditions”, generally meaning there
are use or development restrictions on the site, with complete removal of site
structures to top of slab. This post-closure condition will include perimeter control
with remediation efforts completed to remove direct contact exposure pathways
associated with legacy operations. CB&I also assumes that distribution and
transmission assets will remain operational at the plant. This assumption affects
scope assumptions associated with the development of the decommissioning
basis, the demolition basis, and the remediation basis as well.
3.2.2 Decontamination Basis for the Dave Johnston Plant Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
At the Dave Johnston Plant, activities associated with decommissioning,
demolition preparation, equipment conditioning, and demolition may generate a
variety of solid, universal and hazardous waste materials. The decontamination
basis includes cleanup, removal and disposition of materials that require special
handling or disposal prior to demolition. The decontamination basis describes the
required condition of the power plant with regard to hazardous materials, oils,
fuels, and regulated wastes and materials prior to the start of decommissioning
and the start of demolition. The decontamination basis specifically addresses the
type of hazardous material, as well as the source. The types of hazardous
materials may include lead, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB),
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), radio isotopes, oils, fuels and miscellaneous
hazardous materials such as mercury, acid, caustic, solvents and other
materials. The sources of PCBs are expected to include, but may not be limited
to, lamp fixtures and ballasts and the sources of CFC are expected to include,
but may not be limited to, air conditioning systems and air conditioning
compressor oils.
The decontamination basis includes consideration of the processes and
procedures for the identification, segregation, stockpiling, containerization of
hazardous materials, waste characterization required for waste classification, and
off-site disposal. Batteries, mercury containing equipment, lamps/bulbs, PCB
contaminated oil, and any other miscellaneous universal wastes requiring
disposal due to demolition will be priced to include, handling, transportation,
labor, and proper disposal.
As required by 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M, also known as the National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), asbestos containing materials
20 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
that may become damaged or friable during demolition activities must be
removed prior to demolition. The decontamination basis will include the
consideration of asbestos abatement requirements based on materials identified
in the ACM survey provided by PacifiCorp and quantified by CB&I during the site
visit, which will not include asbestos sampling.
3.2.3 Decommissioning Basis for the Dave Johnston Plant
For the purposes of this discussion decommissioning is defined as follows:
• Decommissioning – to render a facility safe and environmentally
compliant (neutral) through equipment/facility de-energization, removal of
environmental liabilities, and perimeter security.
The decommissioning basis is developed basis on the selected long-term site
basis and determination of demarcation between decommissioning and utility
terminations prior to demolition.
The decommissioning basis will identify requirements for taking the Dave
Johnston Plant from their current state to a condition where the units and
associated powered equipment have been permanently de-energized and
process related chemicals, fuels, waste and residual materials have been
removed. The decommissioning basis will address utility systems isolation and
relocation, and asset recovery, as well as the de-energization of each unit, i.e.
execution of separation from the transmission yard.
System Layup
Initial system layup for Dave Johnston Plant, should represent the final
configuration of the plant. The goal is to eliminate any potential energy source
from the facility. Initial plan would be to put in place fire side, water side,
scrubber, electrical, and fuel Lock Out Tag Out’s (LOTO’s). This would allow a
chance to do a stepped approach to removing energy sources.
Initial system layup should include burning all remaining coal in surge bins and
daily silos. This removes potential hot-spot issues with coal remaining in closed
environments for extended periods.
Depending on time of year, water would need to be drained from all process
equipment. This includes all water cooled bearings, condensation return piping,
service water lines, pumps, un-needed fire water points, potable water piping,
and essentially anything that has freeze protection wrapping.
Electrical is usually the longest lead item for de-energizing a facility. If the entire
facility including switchyards are coming off-line, electrical de-energized can be
completed early. This will probably not be the case and therefore will have to
initially proceed on the stepped down LOTO approach. Once switchyards are
isolated the electrical isolation process can proceed.
21 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Compressed air is an essential tool for an operating plant. The compressed air
lines run throughout the facility and can provide a much needed energy source
during decommissioning. It is proposed that the PacifiCorp decommissioning
contractor eliminate this source early. The reason is two-fold; First it eliminates a
potential energy source and therefore a safety issue. Second it is also an energy
opportunity cost and therefore will cost PacifiCorp money to generate
compressed air. It is suggested the decommissioning contractor supply their
own compressed air locally when needed.
The layup of Dave Johnston Plant should include removal of coal from belts,
water from all exposed piping and pumps, LOTO electrical, (air gap, if possible,
switchyard from units). The goal is to use the least amount of LOTO’s as
possible. This allows greater freedom of access to the decommissioning
contractor.
The last item at Dave Johnston Plant for system layup would be any utility
reroutes. If the entire facility comes offline at the same time utility reroutes may
not be needed. If it is a phased approach, all utility reroutes will be required to be
engineered. This is about a year long process and if multiple owners are
involved it can take a little longer.
Asset Recovery
Asset recovery is the process of assigning values to systems and components
through detailed inventories, prior marketing, and available resources, removing
components and the subsequent sale of those items.
Motors, pumps, electrical gear and machine shop equipment can be used across
many industries and can be recovered for more value than scrap. The asset
recovery phase allows for potential recovery of higher return back to the owner,
as long as the equipment is in proper working order.
Dave Johnston Plant asset recovery phase will be to perform an initial system by
system walk down to get an inventory list. The age of the Dave Johnston plant
will determine viability of asset sales or scrap values.
Asset recovery should start before the units are brought off-line, therefore
allowing the asset recovery contractor time to inventory create marketing
materials and align scrap material vendors. This step allows the greatest
flexibility for return on scrap and sale values.
A possible entire facility sale can be considered, but this option requires
considerable marketing efforts. The marketing effort should be started upon
should be started very early in the planning stage. Engineering support for the
transfer should be negotiated with a potential buyer early in the process.
Removal of Solid Fuels
22 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Initial removal of fuels depends on PacifiCorp. The final off-line date can best
prepare the Dave Johnston Plant for solid fuel removal. CB&I recommends that
Dave Johnston Plant coordinate with PacifiCorp energy marketing very early in
the process to effectively manage stockpiled coal. The best method of
elimination is to burn all possible coal stockpiles. If a thirty or seven day pile is
kept on site, plan on suppliers (mine mouth) cease deliveries. This allows the
coal pile to be at a minimum and therefore cost of remediation of remaining solid
fuel can be decreased.
Solid fuels can be removed by trucking or by rail. Since Dave Johnston Plant is
connected to a Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) mainline, rail may be
the most cost effective manner to remove waste coal/solid fuel.
Lime for scrubber operations can be mitigated in much the same manner that
coal is mitigated. Early offline date determination and working with the supplier
will prevent excess on-hand material. All lime should be slaked even if not used
prior to shut down. Lime slurry can be used as a dust suppressant for roads and
should be considered as a disposal method if possible.
Further analysis of existing protocols will need to be verified to determine ratios
of mixtures of remaining environmental scrubber materials to determine best
method of handling and disposal.
Removal and Disposal of Ash
Ash can be handled in several methods and may be considered hazardous in the
near future. At Dave Johnston Plant, disposition by excavation and rail car
loading is probably best method. Certified landfills would need to be determined
once an off-line date is proposed. The ash remediation is removal and over
excavation.
Removal and disposal will be further defined upon final Jim Bridger site
determination.
Handling of Asbestos Inside Equipment and At Equipment Interfaces
During the decommissioning process, all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)
at interface points (gaskets, immediately adjoining piping, etc…) will be mitigated.
The suspected ACM will be treated as ACM and will be handled accordingly.
Initially most ACM at interface points can be mitigated utilizing a glove-bag
method. If PacifiCorp is utilizing an alliance partner during normal operations or
utilizing PacifiCorp personnel to mitigate interface points, it would be
advantageous to continue this procedure during decommissioning.
If no contract exists at time of decommissioning, a suggested path would be to
get a local contractor on board for small scale asbestos remediation. This allows
greater flexibility on schedule and costs.
Closing of Raw Water, Evaporation and Coal Combustion Residuals Ponds
23 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Dave Johnston Plant facility includes a main intake canal, dam, 4 ponds, and 2
small ponds and 1 evaporative pond. The raw water ponds should be drained
and clean fill placed to final grade. The water canal can be coffer dammed to
eliminate water infiltration then filled to final grade.
The dam directly adjacent to the facility would require determination if it is to
remain in place or be removed. At this time no further guidance will be provided
until the disposition is determined.
Evaporation ponds should have a predetermined on-board level and should have
an end date or potential fill date. The evaporation pond if lined may be allowed
to be capped in placed for final disposition and long term monitoring.
Coal residual ponds will need to be drained and remediated. This design basis
will be further defined upon final disposition of facility. Initial remediation efforts
would be to drain and then over-excavate, replace with clean fill and reseed to
final grade.
All permits for Dave Johnston Plant will be determined upon final site
determination. Soil remediation and reseeding efforts should be done with native
grasses require minimum watering after initial germination period.

construction activities that will be incorporated as part of the Demolition
Basis.
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Tasks
The demolition basis will include a table showing the general division of
responsibilities assigned between PacifiCorp, the Engineer and the
Contractor. This table should be prepared and finalized by the demolition
contractor and presented in the form of an Organization Chart with tie
lines clearly identifying the hierarchy of reporting inclusive of roles and
28 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
responsibilities for the demolition work. The demolition basis will include
the basis and assumptions for the management and handling of all
salvage and recycled materials.
The demolition basis will address the required submittals for the work at
Jim Bridger Plant. The submittals should encompass the following:
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Submittals:
• Project Plan; including plans and specifications for all aspects of the
decontamination, decommissioning, demolition, reclamation, water management, and assessment and decontamination of the facility
• Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHASP)
• Permitting Matrix and Status
• Demolition Work Plan
• Permitting Plan
• Salvage Management Plan
• Site Grading and Reclamation Plan
Site Setup
Site setup will be addressed in the demolition basis and will clearly
identify the tasks to be performed in preparation for demolition. Typically
during site setup the demolition contractor should identify in the pre-
mobilization plans all aspects related to the mobilization of manpower,
equipment and materials that will be required as part of the work.
Additionally, tasks related to final preparations prior to the start of
dismantlement must also be considered in the design; examples of these
tasks include utility cuts and capping, de-energizing the station to a “dark”
state condition, identification of all critical lifts and rigging plans submitted
prior to the start of the dismantlement sequenced activities.
The demolition basis will address the steps and requirements for the
removal of all assets prior to dismantlement,. As part of the Demolition
Work Plan or under a separate header, the removal of assets should also
be addressed. The demolition contractor must submit the procedures for
all critical lifts and submit rigging plans priorto the start of the
dismantlement sequenced activities. Supplemental asbestos abatement
must also be part of the dismantlement and addressed as a contingency.
The demolition basis will also address post environmental cleaning of the
structure if necessary, and the requirement for controlling fugitive dust
emissions during dismantlement. As part of the SSHASP prepared by the
demolition contractor, air monitoring for fugitive dust emissions must be
included for the purposes of personal protection of the workers and the
community in accordance to OSHA requirements.

Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Topsoil and Seeding.
The demolition basis will also address the preferred methodology of
dismantlement to be acceptable given the structural makeup of all
aspects of the plant. Dismantlement scenarios may involve a piecemeal
removal of structures, removal of all interior appurtenances followed by a
controlled drop of the structure without explosives, or total implosion
scenario.
The review and approval procedure must be identified as part of the
demolition basis to ensure safe operations during dismantlement activities
regardless of the method of dismantlement chosen by PacifiCorp’s
demolition contractor.
Structural Implosion
The demolition basis will include the considerations required for the
implosion of the structures. The basis for a controlled dismantlement via
implosion and the requirements thereof should consider:
• The methodology for the development of the Implosion model;
• Structural Engineering Assessment of the implosion scenario;
• Health and safety;
• Fugitive dust control and monitoring;
• Explosive charges to be used;

3.2.5 Remediation Basis for the Dave Johnston Plant Units 1, 2, 3, and 4
For the purposes of this study at the Dave Johnston Plant, the word
“remediation” refers to the reclamation of the property to the desired end-use
and/or the reversal or stopping of damage to the environment. The following
remediation basis outlines: the general approach to determining remediation
needs to address soil, surface water, and groundwater impacts; the anticipated
remediation/reclamation efforts to be performed after demolition completion;
describes the required condition of the power plant to provide the proper site
controls to facilitate the long-term site basis, and includes the site monitoring and
access controls needed during remediation activities.
Environmental Permit Closure
An initial step in determining the anticipated closure/remediation needs for the
site includes compiling a detailed summary of the existing environmental permits.
32 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
As part of the Phase II decommissioning study site inspections, the existing
environmental permits for the plant will be reviewed to determine the permit
closure requirements for engineering cost estimate evaluation.
Establishment of Remediation Cleanup Goals
Based on the assumption that the selected long-term site basis will be restoration
to “brownfield conditions”, it is assumed for the purpose of this study that the
remediation cleanup target goals will be based on an industrial exposure/re-use
scenario. Following the final decision to decommission the plant, it is
recommended that the site be evaluated to determine the best regulatory option
to guide the closure. There are two primary regulatory options to evaluate with
the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ): 1. Closure of the
site through the use of existing permits, permit modifications, or new permit
applications; or 2. Enter the WDEQ Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP). A
pre-application meeting should be requested with the WDEQ to discuss the
appropriateness of the VRP to meet the site closure goals.
For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the VRP is the best option. The
final VRP agreement will clearly define remediation cleanup goals, engineering
controls, institutional controls, and post-closure care requirements, as applicable.
The engineering cost estimate evaluation will include estimated costs for the
development of the VRP application, application fees, and payment of WDEQ
department costs for the department’s oversight of the voluntary remediation.
Environmental Assessment Needs
Following the completion of a VRP application and approval of eligibility by
WDEQ, a site characterization is required that includes the following:
• Data and information gathering;
• Development of a Site Conceptual Model; and
• Preparation of a Site Characterization Work Plan that meets the performance criteria outlined by the VRP.
The performance criteria include:
• Site setting,
• Known and potential sources of contamination,
• Nature and distribution of contaminants and media properties,
• And human and ecological receptors.
To support assessment item (c) above, a Limited Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment should be completed, prior to plant decommissioning, that evaluates
recognized environmental conditions for all major site features (e.g., settling
ponds, scrubber ponds, storm water ponds, etc.) and all of the storage tanks
identified in the plant’s Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Plan.
33 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
For the pending engineering cost estimate evaluation (Phase II), no
environmental assessment activities are needed at this time. The engineering
cost estimate evaluation will include line item environmental assessment costs
based on PacifiCorp provided information regarding any documented releases
and professional experience from site assessments of similar scale.
Completed, On-going or Pending Remediation Projects
Information has been requested, but only partially provided, regarding any
completed, on-going, or pending remediation projects at the plant. This
information, along with a summary of any existing RCRA Solid Waste
Management Units (SWMUs), will be needed to support the engineering cost
estimate evaluation. Additionally, any previously completed remediation
evaluations or budgetary cost estimates should be provided for reference. Based
on the preliminary information, there is an on-going remediation project from a
large oil release and three of the five landfills have been closed.
Anticipated Remediation Projects
The following is a list of anticipated remediation projects that will be included as
line items in the engineering cost estimate evaluation:
• Completion of the on-going closure and remediation of the large oil release
per the VRP agreement
• Closure and reclamation of the eight coal combustion residuals (CCR) ponds
(Pond 4A, Pond 4B, Clear Pond 4, Pond 1A, Pond 1B, Clear Pond 1A, Clear Pond 1B, and the Blowdown Canal) per permit closure requirements (RCRA Subtitle D regulations)
• Closure and reclamation of the two active landfills per permit closure requirements
• Continue the long-term monitoring and maintenance programs for the three closed landfills
• Continue the long-term monitoring programs for all site areas with on-going groundwater monitoring programs
• Removal and reclamation of the railroad spurs located within the site boundaries
• Closure of the ash silo storage areas
• Closure of the Main Fuel Oil Storage Tank A,, Fuel Oil Tank C, fuel oil
pipeline, and the Ignition Oil Tank
• Closure of the coal yard maintenance building area
• Closure of the used oil collection area
• Closure of the bottom ash pond
• Closure of the heavy equipment maintenance shop area
• Closure of the hazardous materials storage area
• Closure of the construction fuel storage area
34 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Closure of the three coal ready pile areas
Potential Cost Savings
The development of a site-wide final grading plan is recommended. The final
grading plan would evaluate cut-and-fill opportunities on the property to provide
soil cover materials to reduce the material costs for the cap-and-closure of the
existing landfills and closure of existing ponds.
Site Controls
The site will be remediated to VRP determined industrial cleanup standards
which will be protective for an industrial use exposure scenario. Site controls will
be developed on an as needed basis following soil sampling in potential
impacted areas. The foundation slabs will be left in place, providing an
engineered control to limit exposure. Final site grading will be designed to
mitigate erosion issues and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Long-term
monitoring and maintenance of the capped landfills will be estimated. Existing
site controls, such as security fencing, will be left in place and maintenance costs
estimated.
Site Monitoring and Access Controls
Site monitoring needs are unknown at this time and will be based on the
requirements of completed remediation projects. Access control during
remediation activities and post-closure monitoring will be included as a line item
cost.
3.2.6 Assumptions
(Reserved Pending Client Discussion)
3.3 Currant Creek
3.3.1 Long-term Site Basis for the Currant Creek Plant
Numerous options exist for development of the long-term site basis. Options that
may be available to the Owner include the following:
• Restoration to green-field conditions;
o Back to natural (native conditions)
• Restoration to brown-field conditions;
o Property is prepared for reuse as an industrial facility (as determined
by individual state and Federal requirements)
• Development of alternate commercial/industrial use under a lease
agreement;
o Retain property as an investment for reuse
35 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Site divestiture;
o Complete turnover of property to another entity

Until these alternatives can be further explored with the Owner, and for initial
pricing purposes, CB&I assumes that the preferred long-term site basis is
associated with restoration to “brown-field conditions”, generally meaning there
are use or development restrictions on the site, with complete removal of site
structures to top of slab. This post-closure condition will include perimeter control
with remediation efforts completed to remove direct contact exposure pathways
associated with legacy operations. CB&I also assumes that distribution and
transmission assets will remain operational at the plant. This assumption affects
scope assumptions associated with the development of the decommissioning
basis, the demolition basis, and the remediation basis as well.
3.3.2 Decontamination of the Currant Creek Plant
At the Currant Creek Plant, activities associated with decommissioning,
demolition preparation, equipment conditioning, and demolition may generate a
variety of solid, universal and hazardous waste materials.
The decontamination basis includes cleanup, removal and disposition of
materials that require special handling or disposal prior to demolition. The
decontamination basis describes the required condition of the power plant with
regard to hazardous materials, oils, fuels, and regulated wastes and materials
prior to the start of decommissioning and the start of demolition. The
decontamination basis specifically addresses the type of hazardous material, as
well as the source. The types of hazardous materials may include lead,
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), radio
isotopes, oils, fuels and miscellaneous hazardous materials such as mercury,
acid, caustic, solvents and other materials. The sources of PCBs are expected
to include, but may not be limited to, lamp fixtures and ballasts and the sources
of CFC are expected to include, but may not be limited to, air conditioning
systems and air conditioning compressor oils.
The decontamination basis includes consideration of the processes and
procedures for the identification, segregation, stockpiling, containerization of
hazardous materials, waste characterization required for waste classification, and
off-site disposal. Batteries, mercury containing equipment, lamps/bulbs, PCB
contaminated oil, and any other miscellaneous universal wastes requiring
disposal due to demolition will be priced to include, handling, transportation,
labor, and proper disposal.
As required by 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M, also known as the National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), asbestos containing materials
36 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
that may become damaged or friable during demolition activities must be
removed prior to demolition. The decontamination basis will include the
consideration of asbestos abatement requirements based on materials identified
in the ACM survey provided by PacifiCorp and quantified by CB&I during the site
visit, which will not include asbestos sampling.
3.3.3 Decommissioning Basis for the Currant Creek Plant
For the purposes of this discussion decommissioning is defined as follows:
• Decommissioning – to render a facility safe and environmentally
compliant (neutral) through equipment/facility de-energization, removal of
environmental liabilities, and perimeter security.
The decommissioning basis is developed basis on the selected long-term site
basis and determination of demarcation between decommissioning and utility
terminations prior to demolition.
The decommissioning basis will identify requirements for taking the Current
Creek Facility from their current state to a condition where the units and
associated powered equipment have been permanently de-energized and
process related chemicals, fuels, waste and residual materials have been
removed. The decommissioning basis will address utility systems isolation and
relocation, and asset recovery, as well as the de-energization of each unit, i.e.
execution of separation from the transmission yard.
System Layup
The decommissioning basis will address the identification of equipment and
systems requiring layup prior to demolition and will define NVE/demolition
contractor responsibilities for completing the work. The decommissioning basis
will identify requirements for the aboveground and belowground utility cut-and-
cap and isolation to be conducted as part of the decommissioning process that
will address electrical systems, fuel systems, water, communications, and related
underground piping and duct banks. The utility cut-and-cap program will address
required disconnections, isolation, cut and capping of utility services required
prior to abatement and/or demolition activities.
Asset Recovery
Asset recovery is the process of assigning values to systems and components
through detailed inventories, prior marketing, and available resources, removing
components and the subsequent sale of those items.
Motors, pumps, electrical gear and machine shop equipment can be used across
many industries and can be recovered for more value than scrap. The asset
recovery phase allows for potential recovery of higher return back to the owner,
as long as the equipment is in proper working order.
37 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Current Creek asset recovery phase will be to perform an initial system by
system walk down to get an inventory list.
Asset recovery should start before the units are brought off-line, therefore
allowing the asset recovery contractor time to inventory create marketing
materials and align scrap material vendors. This step allows the greatest
flexibility for return on scrap and sale values.
A possible entire facility sale can be considered, but this option requires
considerable marketing efforts. The marketing effort should be started upon
should be started very early in the planning stage. Engineering support for the
transfer should be negotiated with a potential buyer early in the process
Removal of Solid Fuels
The demolition design will address the requirements for the removal of all
environmental waste solids and liquids encountered throughout the facility. The
Currant Creek plant uses no solid fuels to power its operations. Instead, natural
gas is used as the only fuel as opposed to coal burning. However, an
assessment of other fuels used on site will be performed and will address the
characterization of all materials, the sampling protocols required for disposal
acceptance, and the anticipated disposition of the materials offsite.
Transportation and disposal entities must be identified along with the
requirements for proper preparation and handling methods to be used.
The demolition basis for the Currant Creek Plant will address all of the
requirements and procedures and costs associated with the disconnection of the
Natural gas pipelines supplying the plant as the primary fuel source for the
operation. This will be presented in the utility cut and cap section of the
demolition section for this plant.
Removal and Disposal of Ash
Currant Creek does not operate on the burning of coal as fuel. Ash is not an item
to be addressed at this plant.
Handling of Asbestos Inside of Equipment and at equipment interfaces
The Currant Creek plant was built post 1980 and therefore should not contain
ACM. However, an assessment of potential ACM will be performed. This will
include wire coated materials or localized pipe insulation should be examined.
Closing of Raw Water, Evaporation and Other Ponds
The decommissioning basis will address the removal of all raw water ponds from
the footprint of the Currant Creek facility. An assessment will be performed that
reviews the as-built drawings for impervious liners underlying the holding ponds
slated for potential removal and restoration. Material volumes slated for offsite
38 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
disposal acceptance will be estimated along with transportation and disposal
costs defined if they should apply at this site.
The decommissioning basis will address the requirements for a Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan (SESCP) outlining all requirements for final restoration of
the facility per state requirements governing closure. The demolition basis
should include the SESCP as part of any reclamation assessment of the site.
All raw water and evaporate basins must be identified along with the
requirements for properly closing all on site ponds and impoundments. The
means and methods of the closure of the ponds and impoundments shall be
addressed as part of the demolition design. The closure plan and design for
these areas must be prepared for approval by the State. The plan must also
address all existing permits terminations and/or modifications to be made during
the site closure process. This process will supplement the task related to the
closeout of all operating permits.
3.3.4 Demolition Design Basis for the Currant Creek Plant
For the purposes of this discussion dismantlement/demolition is defined as follows:

• Dismantlement/Demolition – to remove site infrastructure including
equipment, buildings, storage facilities, etc. Dismantlement activities
focus on revenue generation through initial equipment liquidation
and high value salvage activities, followed by overall facility structural
demolition.
The demolition basis describes the conditions and requirements that must be met
for the safe dismantlement/demolition of the plant, and for the closure and
reclamation of all residual holding ponds including the final long-term and short-
term security measures to be employed at the site upon completion of all
demolition and closure activities. The demolition basis includes a general
description of the activities that the Owner, vendors, and contractors will perform
beginning with the pre-demolition planning activities and throughout the entirety
of the demolition schedule. The demolition basis includes a division of
responsibilities for all activities shown below in Table 13: General Division of
Responsibilities – Currant Creek Plant.
The following specific requirements of the demolition basis are described in the
sections below:
• Demolition Permitting Requirements

identification of all underground infrastructures in the form of piping, raceways,
utilities and foundations on a series of drawings showing all utility terminations
40 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
and abandonments. A licensed utility locator service should be used by the
Owner to identify all subsurface items that require dismantlement. Drawings
supplied by the Owner will require review to determine the removal criteria of all
structural foundations and infrastructure slated for final removal post structural
dismantlement. The design basis will include identification of the means and
methods for removal of the underground infrastructures and foundations, as well
as for the disposition of all process materials, such as concrete. In addition,
consideration will be given to any aspects of material reuse on site, such as the
necessary preparation and use of process backfill materials that can remain as
part of the final reclamation of the site.
Reclamation of the Site and Final Site Grading
The demolition basis will address final dismantlement of the plant to grade and
consideration of preparation of a final site grading plan that identifies all finished
grades after all structural foundations and subsurface infrastructure has been
removed, as well as materials slated for use to accomplish final grades.
Incorporation of the final reclamation of the retention basins, landfill areas or
impoundments must be included as part of the closure of the site.
Installation of Permanent Perimeter Control
The demolition basis will address the final perimeter control recommended for
the site. Perimeter fencing, if the primary means of establishing perimeter control
must including all specifications of the fencing required for installation including
all gates and appurtenances. Potential sources of perimeter control devices to be
used willl be discussed as part of the demolition basis.
Operating Permit Closeout
The demolition basis will include identification as part of the permit matrix the
status of closure of all operating permits. All existing permits will be listed with
their respective dispositions inclusive of lead times with commentary that
provides any issues and issue resolutions. The matrix should be maintained by
PacifiCorp’s contractors for the duration of the project through the final
reclamation phase.
Long-term Access Control
The demolition basis will include consideration of the long-term measures that
will be employed for ensuring adequate access control of the site once the
perimeter control measures have been installed. These measures will include an
inspection and maintenance schedule that will be required once the facility is
finally retired.

Pre Demolition Mobilization Tasks
The demolition design basis shall include a table showing the general
division of responsibilities assigned between PacifiCorp, the Engineer and
the Contractor. This should be prepared by the demolition contractor and
presented in the form of an Organization Chart with tie lines clearly
identifying the hierarchy of reporting inclusive of roles and responsibilities
for the demolition work. The demolition basis will include the basis and
assumptions in the form of a plan submittal for the management and
handling of all salvage and recycled materials.
The Design Basis should address the required submittals for the work at
Dave Johnston Plant. The submittals should encompass the following:
Pre Demolition Mobilization Submittals:
43 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHASP)
• Permitting Matrix and Status
• Demolition Work Plan
• Permitting Plan
• Salvage Management Plan
• Site Grading and Reclamation Plan
Site Setup
Site Setup should be addressed in the Design Basis and clearly identify
the tasks to be performed in preparation for demolition. Typically during
site setup the contractor should identify in the pre mobilization plans all
aspects related to the mobilization of manpower, equipment and materials
that will be required as part of the work. Additionally, tasks related to final
preparations prior to the start of dismantlement must also be considered
in the design such as utility cuts and capping, and de-energizing the
station to a “dark” state condition.
Prior to dismantlement, the design basis must address the steps and
requirements for the removal of all assets. As part of the Demolition
Work Plan or under a separate header, the removal of assets should also
be addressed. All critical lifts and rigging plans must be submitted to the
start of the dismantlement sequenced activities. Supplemental asbestos
abatement, if any, must also be part of the dismantlement and addressed
as a contingency.
The design basis must also address post environmental cleaning of the
structure if necessary, and the methodology to be employed for
controlling fugitive dust emissions during dismantlement. As part of the
SSHASP, air monitoring for fugitive dust and particulate emissions must
be included for the purposes of personal protection of the workers and the
community in accordance to OSHA requirements.
Plant Dismantlement
The demolition design basis shall address the recommended sequence of
activities to be undertaken by the selected demolition contractor. In
particular, the design basis must address the methodology for the
removal of:
Support Structures and outer buildings such as:
• Emission control structures;
• Transformers;
• Electrical Transmission Towers to be removed;
• Utility cut and cap;
44 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite

• Water intake System;
• Pumping Stations;
• Shops and Administrative Office Structures;
• On site Water Treatment;
• Transmission substations
• Fire suppression System;
Structures related to the Power Block
• Turbines;
• Turbine Hall;
• Condensers;
• Above ground and underground storage tanks;
• Turbine Pedestals and Gantry Crane;
• Turbine Building Structure;
• Boilers;
• Boiler Plant Structure;
• Control Center;
• Stacks
• Removal of Interior Electrical Cabling;
• Removal of the Fire Suppression System.
• Salvage Management and loadout
Reclamation and Closure of the Coal Pile and Ash Basins
• Closure Permitting of basins
• Removal of any environmental waste from the site if present
• Backfilling of the water pond footprint
• Final Grading
• Topsoil and Seeding.
The design basis will also address the preferred methodology of
dismantlement to be acceptable given the structural makeup of all
aspects of the plant. Dismantlement scenarios may involve a piecemeal
removal of structures, removal of all interior appurtenances followed by a
controlled drop of the structure without explosives, or total implosion
scenario.
The specifications shall define all of the requirements necessary for
conducting and evaluating all rigging and critical lifts. The review and
approval procedure must be identified as part of the demolition design
basis to ensure safe operations during dismantlement activities
regardless of the method of dismantlement chosen by the contractor.

Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Structural Implosion
The design basis is to include the considerations required for the
implosion of the structures if not achievable by conventional
dismantlement methods. At this time is anticipated that Currant Creek
can be dismantled using conventional demolition equipment. The basis
for a controlled dismantlement via implosion and the requirements thereof
should consider:
• The methodology for the development of the Implosion model;
• Structural Engineering Assessment of the implosion scenario;
• Health and safety;
• Fugitive dust control and monitoring;
• Explosive charges to be used;
• Community Relations.
Engineering cost Estimates
The design basis shall estimate both cost and duration of all
dismantlement scenarios as described above. A base case estimate is to
be developed using a conventional, piecemeal dismantlement scenario
with an additional option to implode the structures if practicable. The
estimate(s) shall be broken out in sufficient detail to describe the work
breakdown structure for the dismantlement phase of work. All labor and
equipment shall include buildups using raw labor rates with fringe
benefits. Raw equipment and material costs shall also be presented.
Standard rental rates will be used to estimate equipment use for the
project. A markup of 8% shall be applied onto the total cost that will be
used to develop a final value for the dismantlement estimate.
All estimates should also be accompanied by a critical path project
schedule that will show the duration and interrelationship of all tasks
related to dismantlement.

3.3.5 Remediation Basis for the Currant Creek Plant
For the purposes of this study at the Currant Creek Plant, the word “remediation”
refers to the reclamation of the property to the desired end-use and/or the
reversal or stopping of damage to the environment. The following remediation
basis outlines: the general approach to determining remediation needs to
address soil, surface water, and groundwater impacts; the anticipated
remediation/reclamation efforts to be performed after demolition completion;
describes the required condition of the power plant to provide the proper site
controls to facilitate the long-term site basis, and includes the site monitoring and
access controls needed during remediation activities
Environmental Permit Closure
An initial step in determining the anticipated closure/remediation needs for the
site includes compiling a detailed summary of the existing environmental permits.
As part of the Phase II decommissioning study site inspections, the existing
environmental permits for the plant will be reviewed to determine the permit
closure requirements for engineering cost estimate evaluation.
Establishment of Remediation Cleanup Goals
Based on the assumption that the selected long-term site basis will be restoration
to “brownfield conditions”, it is assumed for the purpose of this study that the
remediation cleanup target goals will be based on an industrial exposure/re-use
scenario. Following the final decision to decommission the plant, it is
recommended that the site be evaluated to determine the best regulatory option
to guide the closure. There are two primary regulatory options to evaluate with
the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ): 1. Closure of the site
through the use of existing permits, permit modifications, or new permit
applications; or 2. Enter the Utah DEQ Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). A
pre-application meeting should be requested with the Utah DEQ to discuss the
appropriateness of the VCP to meet the site closure goals.
For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the VCP is the best option. The
final VCP agreement will clearly define remediation cleanup goals, engineering
controls, institutional controls, and post-closure care requirements, as applicable.
The engineering cost estimate evaluation will include estimated costs for the
development of the VCP application, application fees, and payment of Utah DEQ
department costs for the department’s oversight of the voluntary cleanup.
Environmental Assessment Needs
To support the VCP application, an environmental assessment is required that
includes the following:
• A legal description of the site;
• A description of the physical characteristics of the site;
48 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• The operational history of the site to the extent known by the applicant;
• Information of which the applicant is aware concerning the nature and extent
of any relevant contamination or release at the site and immediately
contiguous to the site, and where the contamination is located; and
• Relevant information of which the applicant is aware concerning the potential
for human and environmental exposure to contamination at the site.
To support assessment item (d) above, a Limited Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment should be completed, prior to plant decommissioning, that evaluates
recognized environmental conditions for all major site features (e.g., chemical
storage, hazardous waste storage, oil water separator tank, etc.) and all of the
storage tanks identified in the plant’s Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan.
For the pending engineering cost estimate evaluation (Phase II), no
environmental assessment activities are needed at this time. The engineering
cost estimate evaluation will include line item environmental assessment costs
based on PacifiCorp provided information regarding any documented releases
and professional experience from site assessments of similar scale.
Completed, On-going or Pending Remediation Projects
Based on preliminary information provided from PacifiCorp, there are no
completed, on-going, or pending remediation projects at the Currant Creek Plant.
Anticipated Remediation Projects
The Currant Creek Plant was commissioned in 2005. Due to the short history of
this modern natural gas power plant, there are no anticipated remediation
projects. For planning purposes, a line item contingency will be developed to
provide a fund for potential remediation projects that may be needed during site
closure activities. Once a review of the active environmental permits is
completed during Phase II, line items will also be included to cover any required
permit closure costs.
Site Controls
The site will be remediated to VCP determined industrial cleanup standards
which will be protective for an industrial use exposure scenario. Site controls will
be developed on an as needed basis following soil sampling in potentially
impacted areas. The foundation slabs will be left in place, providing an
engineered control to limit exposure. Final site grading will be designed to
mitigate erosion issues and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Long-term
monitoring and maintenance of the capped landfills will be estimated. Existing
site controls, such as security fencing, will be left in place and maintenance costs
estimated.

PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Site Monitoring and Access Controls
Site monitoring needs are unknown at this time and will be based on the
requirements of completed remediation projects. Access control during
remediation activities and post-closure monitoring will be included as line item
costs.
3.3.6 Assumptions
(Reserved Pending Client Discussion)
3.4 Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2
3.4.1 Long-term Site Basis for the Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2
Numerous options exist for development of the long-term site basis. Options that
may be available to the Owner include the following:
• Restoration to green-field conditions;
o Back to natural (native conditions)
• Restoration to brown-field conditions;
o Property is prepared for reuse as an industrial facility (as determined by individual state and Federal requirements)
• Development of alternate commercial/industrial use under a lease agreement;
o Retain property as an investment for reuse
• Site divestiture;
o Complete turnover of property to another entity
Until these alternatives can be further explored with the Owner, and for initial
pricing purposes, CB&I assumes that the preferred long-term site basis is
associated with restoration to “brown-field conditions”, generally meaning there
are use or development restrictions on the site, with complete removal of site
structures to top of slab. This post-closure condition will include perimeter control
with remediation efforts completed to remove direct contact exposure pathways
associated with legacy operations. CB&I also assumes that distribution and
transmission assets will remain operational at the plant. This assumption affects
scope assumptions associated with the development of the decommissioning
basis, the demolition basis, and the remediation basis as well.
3.4.2 Decontamination of Huntington Plant
At the Huntington Plant, activities associated with decommissioning, demolition
preparation, equipment conditioning, and demolition may generate a variety of
solid, universal and hazardous waste materials.
50 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
The decontamination basis includes cleanup, removal and disposition of
materials that require special handling or disposal prior to demolition. The
decontamination basis describes the required condition of the power plant with
regard to hazardous materials, oils, fuels, and regulated wastes and materials
prior to the start of decommissioning and the start of demolition. The
decontamination basis specifically addresses the type of hazardous material, as
well as the source. The types of hazardous materials may include lead,
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), radio
isotopes, oils, fuels and miscellaneous hazardous materials such as mercury,
acid, caustic, solvents and other materials. The sources of PCBs are expected
to include, but may not be limited to, lamp fixtures and ballasts and the sources
of CFC are expected to include, but may not be limited to, air conditioning
systems and air conditioning compressor oils.
The decontamination basis includes consideration of the processes and
procedures for the identification, segregation, stockpiling, containerization of
hazardous materials, waste characterization required for waste classification, and
off-site disposal. Batteries, mercury containing equipment, lamps/bulbs, PCB
contaminated oil, and any other miscellaneous universal wastes requiring
disposal due to demolition will be priced to include, handling, transportation,
labor, and proper disposal.
As required by 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M, also known as the National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), asbestos containing materials
that may become damaged or friable during demolition activities must be
removed prior to demolition. The decontamination basis will include the
consideration of asbestos abatement requirements based on materials identified
in the ACM survey provided by PacifiCorp and quantified by CB&I during the site
visit, which will not include asbestos sampling.
3.4.3 Decommissioning Basis for the Huntington Plant Units 1&2
For the purposes of this discussion decommissioning is defined as follows:
• Decommissioning – to render a facility safe and environmentally
compliant (neutral) through equipment/facility de-energization, removal of
environmental liabilities and perimeter security.
The decommissioning basis is developed basis on the selected long-term site
basis and determination of demarcation between decommissioning and utility
terminations prior to demolition.
The decommissioning basis will identify requirements for taking the Huntington
Plant Units 1&2 from their current state to a condition where the units and
associated powered equipment have been permanently de-energized and
process related chemicals, fuels, waste and residual materials have been
51 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
removed. The decommissioning basis will address utility systems isolation and
relocation, and asset recovery, as well as the de-energization of each unit, i.e.
execution of separation from the transmission yard.
System Layup
Initial system layup for Huntington Plant Units 1&2, should represent the final
configuration of the plant. The goal is to eliminate any potential energy source
from the facility. Initial plan would be to put in place fire side, water side,
scrubber, electrical, and fuel Lock Out Tag Out’s (LOTO’s). This would allow a
chance to do a stepped approach to removing energy sources.
Initial system layup should include burning all remaining coal in surge bins and
daily silos. This removes potential hot-spot issues with coal remaining in closed
environments for extended periods.
Depending on time of year, water would need to be drained from all process
equipment. This includes all water cooled bearings, condensation return piping,
service water lines, pumps, un-needed fire water points, potable water piping,
and essentially anything that has freeze protection wrapping.
Electrical is usually the longest lead item for de-energizing a facility. If the entire
facility including switchyards are coming off-line, electrical de-energized can be
completed early. This will probably not be the case and therefore will have to
initially proceed on the stepped down LOTO approach. Once switchyards are
isolated the electrical isolation process can proceed.
Compressed air is an essential tool for an operating plant. The compressed air
lines run throughout the facility and can provide a much needed energy source
during decommissioning. It is proposed that the PacifiCorp decommissioning
contractor eliminate this source early. The reason is two-fold; first it eliminates a
potential energy source and therefore a safety issue. Second it is also an energy
opportunity cost and therefore will cost PacifiCorp money to generate
compressed air. It is suggested the decommissioning contractor supply their
own compressed air locally when needed.
The layup of Huntington Plant Units 1&2 should include removal of coal from
belts, water from all exposed piping and pumps, LOTO electrical, (air gap, if
possible, switchyard from units). The goal is to use the least amount of LOTO’s
as possible. This allows greater freedom of access to the decommissioning
contractor.
The last item at Huntington Plant Units 1&2 for system layup would be any utility
reroutes. If the entire facility comes offline at the same time utility reroutes may
not be needed. If it is a phased approach, all utility reroutes will be required to be
engineered. This is about a year long process and if multiple owners are
involved it can take a little longer.

PacifiCorp – Multisite

Asset Recovery
Asset recovery is the process of assigning values to systems and components
through detailed inventories, prior marketing, and available resources, removing
components and the subsequent sale of those items.
Motors, pumps, electrical gear and machine shop equipment can be used across
many industries and can be recovered for more value than scrap. The asset
recovery phase allows for potential recovery of higher return back to the owner,
as long as the equipment is in proper working order.
Huntington Units 1&2 asset recovery phase will be to perform an initial system by
system walk down to get an inventory list. The age of the Huntington Units 1&2
plant will determine viability of asset sales or scrap values.
Asset recovery should start before the units are brought off-line, therefore
allowing the asset recovery contractor time to inventory create marketing
materials and align scrap material vendors. This step allows the greatest
flexibility for return on scrap and sale values.
A possible entire facility sale can be considered, but this option requires
considerable marketing efforts. The marketing effort should be started upon
should be started very early in the planning stage. Engineering support for the
transfer should be negotiated with a potential buyer early in the process.
Removal of Solid Fuels
Initial removal of fuels depends on PacifiCorp. The final off-line date can best
prepare the Huntington Plant Units 1&2 for solid fuel removal. CB&I
recommends that Huntington Plant Units 1&2 coordinate with PacifiCorp energy
marketing very early in the process to effectively manage stockpiled coal. The
best method of elimination is to burn all possible coal stockpiles. If a thirty or
seven day pile is kept on site, plan on suppliers (mine mouth) cease deliveries.
This allows the coal pile to be at a minimum and therefore cost of remediation of
remaining solid fuel can be decreased.
Solid fuels can be removed only by trucking. Since Huntington Plant Units 1&2
is not connected to any mainline, trucking is only effective manner to remove
waste coal/solid fuel.
Lime for scrubber operations can be mitigated in much the same manner that
coal is mitigated. Early offline date determination and working with the supplier
will prevent excess on-hand material. All lime should be slaked even if not used
prior to shut down. Lime slurry can be used as a dust suppressant for roads and
should be considered as a disposal method if possible.
Further analysis of existing protocols will need to be verified to determine ratios
of mixtures of remaining environmental scrubber materials to determine best
method of handling and disposal.
53 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
Removal and Disposal of Ash
Ash can be handled in several methods and may be considered hazardous in the
near future. The easiest method would be to place ash back in mine if possible.
If this is not be feasible at Huntington Plant Units 1&2, disposition by excavation
and trucking is only method feasible. Certified landfills would need to be
determined once an off-line date is proposed. The ash remediation is removal
and over excavation.
Removal and disposal will be further defined upon final Jim Bridger site
determination.
Handling of Asbestos Inside Equipment and At Equipment Interfaces
During the decommissioning process, all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)
at interface points (gaskets, immediately adjoining piping, etc…) will be mitigated.
The suspected ACM will be treated as ACM and will be handled accordingly.
Initially most ACM at interface points can be mitigated utilizing a glove-bag
method. If PacifiCorp is utilizing an alliance partner during normal operations or
utilizing PacifiCorp personnel to mitigate interface points, it would be
advantageous to continue this procedure during decommissioning.
If no contract exists at time of decommissioning, a suggested path would be to
get a local contractor on board for small scale asbestos remediation. This allows
greater flexibility on schedule and costs.
Closing of Raw Water, Evaporation and Coal Combustion Residuals Ponds
Huntington Plant Units 1&2 facility includes a main intake pipe that originates at
Electric Lake approximately 18 miles to the north. This pipeline is suggested to
be abandoned in place if possible.
The raw water pond, and 1 small pond should be drained and clean fill placed to
final grade.
Coal residual pond will need to be drained and remediated. This design basis
will be further defined upon final disposition of facility. Initial remediation efforts
would be to drain and then over-excavate, replace with clean fill and reseed to
final grade.
All permits for Huntington Plant Units 1&2 will be determined upon final site
determination. Soil remediation and reseeding efforts should be done with native
grasses require minimum watering after initial germination period.

3.4.4 Demolition Basis for the Huntington Plant Units 1 & 2
For the purposes of this discussion dismantlement/demolition is defined as follows:
54 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
• Dismantlement/Demolition – to remove site infrastructure including
equipment, buildings, storage facilities, etc. Dismantlement activities
focus on revenue generation through initial equipment liquidation
and high value salvage activities, followed by overall facility structural
demolition.
The demolition basis describes the conditions and requirements that must be met
for the safe dismantlement/demolition of the plant, and for the closure and
reclamation of all residual holding ponds including the final long-term and short-
term security measures to be employed at the site upon completion of all
demolition and closure activities. The demolition basis includes a general
description of the activities that the Owner, vendors, and contractors will perform
beginning with the pre-demolition planning activities and throughout the entirety
of the demolition schedule. The demolition basis includes a division of
responsibilities for all activities shown below in 4: General Division of
Responsibilities – Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2.
The following specific requirements of the demolition basis are described in the
sections below:

Reclamation of Industrial and Coal Combustion Residuals Landfills
The demolition basis will include the identification and survey of all areas related
to current ash impoundments or landfills. A review of as-built drawings of these
must be reviewed and assessed for final closure criteria development.
Removal of Underground infrastructures and Removal of Foundations.
If required by the selected long-term site basis, the demolition basis will include
identification of all underground infrastructures in the form of piping, raceways,
utilities and foundations on a series of drawings showing all utility terminations
and abandonments. A licensed utility locator service should be used by the
Owner to identify all subsurface items that require dismantlement. Drawings
supplied by the Owner will require review to determine the removal criteria of all
structural foundations and infrastructure slated for final removal post structural
dismantlement. The design basis will include identification of the means and
methods for removal of the underground infrastructures and foundations, as well
as for the disposition of all process materials, such as concrete. In addition,
consideration will be given to any aspects of material reuse on site, such as the
necessary preparation and use of process backfill materials that can remain as
part of the final reclamation of the site.
Reclamation of the Site and Final Site Grading
The demolition basis will address final dismantlement of the plant to grade and
consideration of preparation of a final site grading plan that identifies all finished
grades after all structural foundations and subsurface infrastructure has been
removed, as well as materials slated for use to accomplish final grades. The
Deer Creek Mine located 2.4 miles away from the plant is not part of the design

basis for this plant site. However, the conveyance system is to be included as
part of the asset valuation and demolition scope for the closure of the Huntington
Plant.
Installation of Permanent Perimeter Control
The demolition basis will address the final perimeter control recommended for
the site. Perimeter fencing, if the primary means of establishing perimeter control
must including all specifications of the fencing required for installation including
all gates and appurtenances. Potential sources of perimeter control devices to be

PacifiCorp’s contractors for the duration of the project through the final
reclamation phase.
Long-term access control
The demolition basis will include consideration of the long-term measures that
will be employed for ensuring adequate access control of the site once the
perimeter control measures have been installed. These measures will include an
inspection and maintenance schedule that will be required once the facility is
finally retired.
The Deer Creek Mine located 2.4 miles away from the plant is not part of the
design basis for this plant site. However, the conveyance system is to be
included as part of the asset valuation and demolition scope for the closure of the
Huntington plant.

3.4.4.3 Demolition Sequencing
This section describes the General requirements for the sequencing of
construction activities that will be incorporated as part of the Demolition
Basis.
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Tasks
The demolition basis will include a table showing the general division of
responsibilities assigned between PacifiCorp, the Engineer and the
Contractor. This table should be prepared and finalized by the demolition
contractor and presented in the form of an Organization Chart with tie
lines clearly identifying the hierarchy of reporting inclusive of roles and
responsibilities for the demolition work. The demolition basis will include
the basis and assumptions for the management and handling of all
salvage and recycled materials.
The demolition basis will address the required submittals for the work at
Jim Bridger Plant. The submittals should encompass the following:
Pre-Demolition Mobilization Submittals:
• Project Plan; including plans and specifications for all aspects of the decontamination, decommissioning, demolition, reclamation, water
management, and assessment and decontamination of the facility
• Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHASP)
• Permitting Matrix and Status
• Demolition Work Plan
• Permitting Plan
• Salvage Management Plan
• Site Grading and Reclamation Plan
Site Setup
Site setup will be addressed in the demolition basis and will clearly
identify the tasks to be performed in preparation for demolition. Typically
59 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
during site setup the demolition contractor should identify in the pre-
mobilization plans all aspects related to the mobilization of manpower,
equipment and materials that will be required as part of the work.
Additionally, tasks related to final preparations prior to the start of
dismantlement must also be considered in the design; examples of these
tasks include utility cuts and capping, de-energizing the station to a “dark”
state condition, identification of all critical lifts and rigging plans submitted
prior to the start of the dismantlement sequenced activities.
The demolition basis will address the steps and requirements for the
removal of all assets prior to dismantlement,. As part of the Demolition
Work Plan or under a separate header, the removal of assets should also
be addressed. The demolition contractor must submit the procedures for
all critical lifts and submit rigging plans prior to the start of the
dismantlement sequenced activities. Supplemental asbestos abatement
must also be part of the dismantlement and addressed as a contingency.
The demolition basis will also address post environmental cleaning of the
structure if necessary, and the requirement for controlling fugitive dust
emissions during dismantlement. As part of the SSHASP prepared by the
demolition contractor, air monitoring for fugitive dust emissions must be
included for the purposes of personal protection of the workers and the
community in accordance to OSHA requirements.
Plant Dismantlement
The demolition basis will address the recommended sequence of
activities to be undertaken by the selected demolition contractor. In
particular, the demolition basis will address the methodology for:
Removal of Support Structures and outer buildings such as:
• Emission control structures;
• Coal handling equipment;
• Transformers;
• Electrical Transmission Towers to be removed;
• Utility cut and cap program (plant wide);
• Water intake System;
• Cooling Towers;
• Pumping Stations;
• Shops and Administrative Office Structures;
• On site Water Treatment;
• Transmission substations
• Fire suppression System;

Removal of Structures related to the Power Block
• Turbines;
• Turbine Hall;
• Condensers;
• Turbine Pedestals and Gantry Crane;
• Turbine Building Structure;
• Above ground and underground storage tanks
• Boilers;
• Boiler Plant Structure;
• Control Center;
• Stacks
• Removal of Interior Electrical Cabling;
• Removal of the Fire Suppression System.
• Salvage Management and loadout
Reclamation and Closure of the Coal Pile and Ash Basins
• Closure Permitting of basins
• Removal of waste coal product off site
• Backfilling of the Coal Pile footprint
• Final Grading
• Topsoil and Seeding.
The demolition basis will also address the preferred methodology of
dismantlement to be acceptable given the structural makeup of all
aspects of the plant. Dismantlement scenarios may involve a piecemeal
removal of structures, removal of all interior appurtenances followed by a
controlled drop of the structure without explosives, or total implosion
scenario.
The review and approval procedure must be identified as part of the
demolition basis to ensure safe operations during dismantlement activities
regardless of the method of dismantlement chosen by PacifiCorp’s
demolition contractor.
Structural Implosion
The demolition basis will include the considerations required for the
implosion of the structures. The basis for a controlled dismantlement via
implosion and the requirements thereof should consider:
• The methodology for the development of the Implosion model;
• Structural Engineering Assessment of the implosion scenario;
• Health and safety;
61 | P a g e

• Fugitive dust control and monitoring;
• Explosive charges to be used;
• Community Relations.
Engineering Cost Estimates
The demolition basis will be developed in such a manner to provide a
baseline for the engineering cost estimate and a high-level schedule to be
developed in Phase II of this project

Item Task Comment
3.4.5 Remediation Basis for the Huntington Plant Units 1 and 2
For the purposes of this study, the word “remediation” refers to the reclamation of
the property to the desired end-use and/or the reversal or stopping of damage to
the environment. The following remediation basis outlines: the general approach
to determining remediation needs to address soil, surface water, and
groundwater impacts; the anticipated remediation/reclamation efforts to be
performed after demolition completion; describes the required condition of the
power plant to provide the proper site controls to facilitate the long-term site
basis, and includes the site monitoring and access controls needed during
remediation activities
Environmental Permit Closure
An initial step in determining the anticipated closure/remediation needs for the
site includes compiling a detailed summary of the existing environmental permits.
As part of the Phase II decommissioning study site inspections, the existing
environmental permits for the plant will be reviewed to determine the permit
closure requirements for engineering cost estimate evaluation.
Establishment of Remediation Cleanup Goals
Based on the assumption that the selected long-term site basis will be restoration
to “brownfield conditions”, it is assumed for the purpose of this study that the
remediation cleanup target goals will be based on an industrial exposure/re-use
scenario. Following the final decision to decommission the plant, it is
recommended that the site be evaluated to determine the best regulatory option
to guide the closure. There are two primary regulatory options to evaluate with
the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ): 1. Closure of the site
through the use of existing permits, permit modifications, or new permit
applications; or 2. Enter the Utah DEQ Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). A
pre-application meeting should be requested with the Utah DEQ to discuss the
appropriateness of the VCP to meet the site closure goals.
For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the VCP is the best option. The
final VCP agreement will clearly define remediation cleanup goals, engineering
controls, institutional controls, and post-closure care requirements, as applicable.
The engineering cost estimate evaluation will include estimated costs for the
development of the VCP application, application fees, and payment of Utah DEQ
department costs for the department’s oversight of the voluntary cleanup.
Environmental Assessment Needs
63 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
To support the VCP application, an environmental assessment is required that
includes the following:
• A legal description of the site;
• A description of the physical characteristics of the site;
• The operational history of the site to the extent known by the applicant;
• Information of which the applicant is aware concerning the nature and extent
of any relevant contamination or release at the site and immediately contiguous to the site, and where the contamination is located; and
• Relevant information of which the applicant is aware concerning the potential for human and environmental exposure to contamination at the site.
To support assessment item (d) above, a Limited Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment should be completed, prior to plant decommissioning, that evaluates
recognized environmental conditions for all major site features (e.g., settling
ponds, scrubber ponds, storm water ponds, etc.) and all of the storage tanks
identified in the plant’s Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Plan.
For the pending engineering cost estimate evaluation (Phase II), no
environmental assessment activities are needed at this time. The engineering
cost estimate evaluation will include line item environmental assessment costs
based on PacifiCorp provided information regarding any documented releases
and professional experience from site assessments of similar scale.
Completed, On-going or Pending Remediation Projects
Information has been requested, but not yet provided, regarding any completed,
on-going, or pending remediation projects at the plant. This information, along
with a summary of any existing RCRA Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs),
will be needed to support the engineering cost estimate evaluation. Additionally,
any previously completed remediation evaluations or budgetary cost estimates
should be provided for reference.
Anticipated Remediation Projects
The following is a list of anticipated remediation projects that will be included as
line items in the engineering cost estimate evaluation:
• Closure and reclamation of the PacifiCorp-Huntington Industrial Waste Class
IIIb Landfill under the permit prescribed closure (RCRA Subtitle D
regulations) – 2 feet of soil cover including 6 inches of top soil (Huntington Power Plant Landfill Operations Plan)
• Long term monitoring of the closed “Old Ash Pile” (non-permitted CCR landfill area)
• Closure and reclamation of the “New Ash Pile” (non-permitted CCR landfill area) – 1 foot of soil cover including 6 inches of top soil (Huntington Power
Plant Landfill Operations Plan)

• Closure of the Huntington Plant Rock Garden Storm Water Pond (Pond #11)
• On-going remediation project (groundwater recovery and treatment) at the Huntington Plant Scrubber Pond (#9)
• Upper Demineralizer Pump Valve Pit (Ref. #24)
• Coal Yard Lube Oil Storage area (Ref. #36)
• Sewage Receiving Pit (Ref. #48)
• Fuel Oil Tanks area (Ref. #87)
• Fuel Dispensing Area (Ref. #88)
Potential Cost Savings
The active PacifiCorp-Huntington Industrial Waste Class IIIb Landfill can accept
plant generated wastes including paper products, plastic and metal drums, dirt,
wood products, lunch room wastes, scrap metal, drained filters, and digested
domestic wastewater treatment plant sludge. The current available storage
capacity should be evaluated so the landfill can be utilized to reduce disposal
costs during the decommissioning/demolition activities. The current Industrial
Waste Class IIIb landfill permit may require a permit modification to cover the
acceptance of some of decommissioning/demolition wastes.
The development of a site-wide final grading plan is recommended. The final
grading plan would evaluate cut-and-fill opportunities on the property to provide
soil cover materials to reduce the material costs for the cap-and-closure of the
existing landfills.
Site Controls
The site will be remediated to VCP determined industrial cleanup standards
which will be protective for an industrial use exposure scenario. Site controls will
be developed on an as needed basis following soil sampling in potential
impacted areas. The foundation slabs will be left in place, providing an
engineered control to limit exposure. Final site grading will be designed to
mitigate erosion issues and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Long-term
65 | P a g e
PacifiCorp – Multisite
Power Plant Demolition Study
Rev E – Issued: 16 June 2014
monitoring and maintenance of the capped landfills will be estimated. Existing
site controls, such as security fencing, will be left in place and maintenance costs
estimated.
Site Monitoring and Access Controls
Site monitoring needs are unknown at this time and will be based on the
requirements of completed remediation projects. Access control during
remediation activities and post-closure monitoring will be included as a line item
cost.
