Abstract:
Access to accurate, up-to-date information about resources and services is essential if survivors are to recover following disasters. Emergency managers need information about community resources to effectively plan for the recovery phase. Long-term recovery committees and case managers rely on resource directories to design recovery plans with survivors. This article describes a replicable approach used to swiftly create and maintain an online resource directory for individuals with disabilities following Hurricane Harvey.

Abstract:
Although the resource allocation literature has frequently examined the decision rules used to distribute monetary resources, many other types of resources have not been systematically studied. In addition, very little is known about the allocation rules that might be used when resources are recovered (i.e., taken away) as opposed to distributed. As managers frequently face decisions regarding the distribution or recovery of different resources, developing a greater understanding of the rules they might use to give or take away resources is important. This study examined the difficulty of resource allocation decisions and allocation rule choices. Our results suggest need rules are generally preferred by allocators, although rule preferences were affected by both the type of resource and whether the resource was being distributed rather than recovered. In particular, the preference for equality rules was stronger when resources were recovered. Our findings also suggest that managers may find recovery decisions more difficult than distribution decisions, and that monetary and affiliative resources are among the most difficult to allocate.

Abstract:
This paper guides decision making in more sustainable urban water management practices that feed into a circular economy by presenting a novel framework for conceptually designing and strategically planning wastewater treatment processes from a resource recovery perspective. Municipal wastewater cannot any longer be perceived as waste stream because a great variety of technologies are available to recover water, energy, fertilizer, and other valuable products from it. Despite the vast technological recovery possibilities, only a few processes have yet been implemented that deserve the name water resource factory instead of wastewater treatment plant. This transition relies on process designs that are not only technically feasible but also overcome various non-technical bottlenecks. A multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach is needed to design water resource factories (WRFs) in the future that are technically feasible, cost effective, show low environmental impacts, and successfully market recovered resources. To achieve that, the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) design space needs to be opened up for a variety of expertise that complements the traditional wastewater engineering domain. Implementable WRF processes can only be designed if the current design perspective, which is dominated by the fulfilment of legal effluent qualities and process costs, is extended to include resource recovery as an assessable design objective from an early stage on. Therefore, the framework combines insights and methodologies from different fields and disciplines beyond WWTP design like, e.g., circular economy, industrial process engineering, project management, value chain development, and environmental impact assessment. It supports the transfer of the end-of-waste concept into the wastewater sector as it structures possible resource recovery activities according to clear criteria. This makes recovered resources more likely to fulfil the conditions of the end-of-waste concept and allows the change in their definition from wastes to full-fledged products.

Abstract:
Abstract This research work proposes an innovative water resource recovery facility (WRRF) for the recovery of energy, nutrients and reclaimed water from sewage, which represents a promising approach towards enhanced circular economy scenarios. To this aim, anaerobic technology, microalgae cultivation, and membrane technology were combined in a dedicated platform. The proposed platform produces a high-quality solid- and coliform-free effluent that can be directly discharged to receiving water bodies identified as sensitive areas. Specifically, the content of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in the effluent was 45 mg COD·L−1, 14.9 mg N·L−1 and 0.5 mg P·L−1, respectively. Harvested solar energy and carbon dioxide biofixation in the form of microalgae biomass allowed remarkable methane yields (399 STP L CH4·kg−1 CODinf) to be achieved, equivalent to theoretical electricity productions of around 0.52 kWh per m3 of wastewater entering the WRRF. Furthermore, 26.6% of total nitrogen influent load was recovered as ammonium sulphate, while nitrogen and phosphorus were recovered in the biosolids produced (650 ± 77 mg N·L−1 and 121.0 ± 7.2 mg P·L−1).

Abstract:
The availability of sufficient water supply is a challenge many municipalities have faced in recent decades and a challenge that is expected to intensify with time. While several choices remain for selecting alternatives to freshwater sources, water reclamation offers an opportunity for sustainable resource recovery. Nonetheless, tradeoffs exist in the selection of the most sustainable technology for recovering resources from wastewater when long-term impacts are taken into consideration. This article investigates the factors influencing the environmental and economic impacts of resource recovery technologies through the analysis of life cycle environmental and economic impact case studies. Key characteristics were extracted from life cycle assessment and life cycle cost case studies to evaluate the factors influencing the sustainability of the resource recovery systems. The specific design parameters include the type of resources to be recovered, technology utilized, scale of implementation, location, and end users. The design of sustainable resource recovery systems was found to be largely driven by scale, location (e.g., as it pertains to the energy mix and water quality restrictions), and the scope of the system considered. From this analysis, a decision framework for resource recovery-oriented wastewater management was developed and then applied to an existing case study to demonstrate its usability.

Abstract:
Vancouver’s expanding population is putting pressure on the city’s water and wastewater infrastructure; more efficient uses of this resource need to be explored as the cost of upgrading the city’s water and sewer network is daunting. Wastewater presents a significant source of water and heat and, if properly exploited, can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure while reducing stress on the receiving environment. This thesis presents a model with three scenarios that seek to quantify and optimize the amount of water that can be cascaded within the Vancouver Sewerage Area, as well as evaluates each reuse scheme for the economic, environmental, and social benefits associated with each. The first scenario shows a number of potential sources and sinks for direct cascading of wastewater between industries, however water quality represents a significant barrier to this form of water reuse. With the implementation of a satellite water reclamation facility (WRF) in scenario 2, water quality is no longer a barrier and water recycling potential is significantly increased. However, proximity becomes a problem as many of the industries are too far away from the WRF and the cost of pumping and infrastructure far outweighs the benefits of water reuse. When the model is modified in scenario 3 to include the rest of the industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) sector and multifamily housing, the potential for water reuse is much greater than the first two scenarios due to the proximity of reclaimed water sinks. The scenario with the greatest water reuse potential, a satellite WRF supplying ICI and multifamily water users, was calculated to recycle upwards of 1,000,000m³/year. Implementation of this scenario would require up to 50 years to allow for public acceptance, policy implementation, and buy in from government and industry. The required infrastructure is extensive but with proper planning over an appropriate time period, the added benefit of energy recovery from wastewater, and participation from industry and government, water reuse can be a viable option for Vancouver.

A potential threat to the earth's ecosystem and the people and animals living here is improper disposal of trash. The average American throws away 3.5 pounds of trash daily. While we have focused our concerns on the arms race and other looming and important issues, the day to day levels of trash coming from our homes and industries continues to grow. In many areas of the country landfills are closing and communities are struggling for solutions. : The information uncovered while researching this topic reveals that this situation can be addressed and handled responsibly. In order to achieve such success people must be willing to change their habits, work together, and take the time to retrieve and recover valuable resources from the "waste" stream. By doing so a significant amount of money, energy, and resources will be conserved. This thesis is an exploration into the ways a suburban community might proceed to do this in a useful and a meaningful way. A site in Belmont, Massachusetts was chosen to illustrate this proposal.

Abstract:
Municipalities are increasingly facing solid waste disposal problems due to lack of sanitary landfill sites, high costs of landfill management and increasingly stringent environmental standards. Consequently, they are turning toward innovative disposal practices to alleviate these problems. However, very little comprehensive information is available to decision makers on the range of options available in resource recovery development and the factors that can influence choices. This thesis tests the hypothesis that there are a definable set of factors or circumstances that have led resource recovery developers to make specific decisions regarding ownership, operation, financing, system technology, and air pollution control technology. The thesis is divided into three stages: development of case studies on 9 resource recovery facilities in the state of Virginia; development and analysis of a nationwide survey to test the patterns illustrated in these case studies; and finally, the development of a guide for resource recovery developers that will serve as preliminary guidance in their choice of development options.

Abstract:
Reliable sensor values are important for resource-efficient control and operations of wastewater treatment processes. Automatic fault detection methods are necessary to monitor the increasing amount of data produced in any modern water resource recovery facility (WRRF). Most on-line measurements exhibit large variations under normal conditions, due to considerable variations in the influent flow. The work reported in this licentiate thesis deals with fault detection in WRRFs. In the first paper, we studied how Gaussian process regression (GPR), a probabilistic machine learning method, could be applied for fault detection in WRRFs. The results showed that the standard parameter estimation method for GPR suffered from local optima which could be solved by instead estimating the distribution of the parameters with a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm (GPR-SMC). The GPR-SMC allowed for automatic estimation of missing data in a simulated influent flow signal with high noise, which is a representative signal for on-line sensors in WRRFs. In addition, the GPR-SMC provided uncertainty predictions for the estimated data and accurate sensor noise estimates. Care should be taken in selecting a suitable kernel for GPR, since the results were in contrast to the general assumption that prior knowledge can easily be encoded by means of selecting a proper kernel. Here, the autocorrelation graph was found useful as diagnostic tool for selecting a proper kernel. In the second paper, we studied how active fault detection (AFD) could be used to reveal information about the sensor status. The AFD was implemented by evaluating the change in a dissolved oxygen (DO)-signal caused by the sensor's automatic cleaning system. Fault signatures were obtained for fouling and several other sensor faults such as a worn out or mechanically damaged membrane. This demonstrates the potential of AFD, not only for fault detection, but also for fault diagnosis. Interestingly, the progression of the sensor bias due to organic biofilm fouling differed depending on the measurement technique used within the DO-sensor. This is new knowledge that is valuable for process control and should be further studied. The AFD was implemented on a full scale system to demonstrate its applicability, which is rarely done in research papers in the field of WRRFs.

Abstract:
El rabdomiosarcoma (RMS) és el sarcoma de parts toves més comú en la infància i el seu origen rau en les cèl·lules embrionàries precursores del múscul esquelètic. Histològicament se subdivideix en dos tipus: l'embrionari (RMSe) i l'alveolar (RMSa), diferint en presentació clínica, pronòstic i resposta a la teràpia, i és el RMSa el que presenta pitjor pronòstic. El neuroblastoma (NBL) és el tumor sòlid extracranial més habitual en la infància i el tercer càncer pediàtric més recurrent. Representa un 15% de les morts pediàtriques per càncer. Hi ha diversos factors que determinen l'afectació del tumor: l'edat al moment del diagnòstic, l'estadi, alteracions cromosòmiques, la histologia i l'estat de l'oncogèn N-MYC. La supervivència tant del RMS com del NBL se situa al 70%, però aquesta es redueix fins al 30% en els casos de RMS amb malaltia metastàtica i recidiva, i fins al 20% en els casos de NBL d'alt risc. Aquests casos s'associen a la disseminació del tumor a causa de la metàstasi, quan els tractaments regulars no són efectius. És en aquest context on existeix la necessitat d'estudi dels factors que regulen el procés metastàtic per tal d'identificar noves dianes terapèutiques i així millorar la supervivència d'aquest grup de pacients. Les integrines són receptors transmembrana cel·lulars amb capacitat de transmetre senyal de l'exterior a l'interior de la cèl·lula i viceversa, que en modifiquen la plasticitat, adhesió i invasió cel·lular i estan implicades en processos patològics com la metàstasi. Anteriorment a aquesta tesi doctoral, el nostre grup d'investigació va suggerir per primera vegada la integrina α9β1 com una proteïna clau en la invasió de les cèl·lules de RMS. En aquesta tesi doctoral es demostra el paper de la integrina α9β1 en la invasió del RMS tant in vitro com in vivo mitjançant la seva inhibició genètica. Es mostra per primera vegada el paper del miR-7 i el miR-324 com a reguladors de la integrina α9β1. També es descriu com l'expressió de la integrina α9β1 en els tumors de RMS resulta en una tendència a una menor supervivència dels pacients, i posicionen la integrina α9β1 com a un marcador de mal pronòstic en el RMS. El caràcter invasiu de la integrina α9β1 es demostra també en el NBL, on l'expressió de la proteïna en les seves línies cel·lulars és molt elevada i contundent. S'ha dissenyat molècules blocadores contra la integrina α9β1 a partir d'un dels seus múltiples lligands, tot dirigint el treball cap a una recerca translacional per intentar cobrir les necessitats de la clínica en el tractament del RMS i el NBL. Els inhibidors seleccionats presenten efectes antiinvasius en les línies cel·lulars de RMS i NBL positives per la integrina α9β1. S'ha dut a terme un model murí de metàstasi de RMS amb l'administració dels dos inhibidors més prometedors. Un d'ells ha demostrat ser efectiu in vivo, en el qual s'ha observat un retard en l'aparició de metàstasi i una menor incidència de metàstasi comparat amb el grup control. En resum, en aquesta tesi doctoral es descriu el paper de la integrina α9β1 en el RMS i el NBL i es demostra el rol d'aquesta en la metàstasi. A més, es desenvolupa un nou inhibidor contra la integrina α9β1, que presenta un fort efecte antiinvasiu tant in vitro com in vivo. Així doncs, es proposa la integrina α9β1 com una nova diana terapèutica contra el procés metastàtic en el càncer pediàtric.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and it is derived from primitive mesenchyme that retained its capacity for skeletal muscle differentiation. Histologically, it can be divided into two main subtypes: embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMSe) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMSa), with differing in clinical presentation, prognosis and responses to therapy, with RMSa having the worst prognosis. Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood and the third most recurrent pediatric cancer. It accounts for around 15% of all pediatric oncology deaths. Several factors determine tumor involvement: the age at the time of diagnosis, the stage, chromosomal disorders, histology and the state of the N-MYC oncogene. Survival rates for RMS and NBL are 70%, but fall to 30% in cases of metastatic RMS and recurrence, and to 20% in cases of high risk NBL. These cases are associated with the dissemination of the tumor due to metastasis, when regular treatments are not effective. It is in this context where there is a need to study the factors that regulate the metastatic process in order to identify new therapeutic targets and thus improve the survival of this group of patients. Integrins are cellular transmembrane receptors capable of transmitting signal from the outside to the inside of the cell and viceversa. They can modify plasticity, adhesion and cell invasion and are involved in pathological processes such as metastasis. Prior to this doctoral thesis, our research group suggested α9β1 integrin as a key protein in the invasion of RMS cells for the first time. In this work, we demonstrate the role of α9β1 integrin in invasion both in vitro and in vivo through its genetic inhibition. The role of miR-7 and miR-324 as regulators of the α9β1 integrin is shown for the first time. How the expression of α9β1 integrin in RMS tumors results in a tendency for poorer survival for patients is also described, and α9β1 integrin is positioned as a poor prognostic marker in the RMS. The invasiveness of α9β1 integrin is also demonstrated in the NBL, where there is high protein expression in its cell lines. Blocking molecules have been designed against α9β1 integrin from one of its multiple ligands, and work directed towards translational research in order to cover the clinical needs of the treatment of RMS and NBL. Selected inhibitors have antiinvasive effects on α9β1 integrin RMS and NBL cell lines. A murine metastases model of RMS has been performed with the administration of the two most promising inhibitors. One of these has been shown to be effective in vivo, with a delay in the appearance of metastasis and a lower incidence of metastasis compared to the control group. To sum up, this thesis describes the role of α9β1 integrin in the RMS and NBL and demonstrates its role in metastasis. In addition, a new inhibitor is developed against α9β1 integrin, which has a strong antiinvasive effect both in vitro and in vivo. Accordingly, α9β1 integrin is proposed as a new therapeutic target against the metastatic process in pediatric cancer.

Full text
Abstract:

Forest industries produce large amounts of carbon rich sludges as by-products in their processes. Presently sludge is treated as a poor quality biofuel for co-incineration, some mills treat it solely as a disposal problem. This thesis provides an introduction to production, composition and disposal issues of sludge. It also includes a presentation of strategies for sludge handling.

The main concern with energy recovery from sludge is connected to high content of water (50-80%). Mechanical dewatering is an energy efficient method of decreasing the water content. However, there are limitations to how far sludge can be dewatered mechanically. Thermal dewatering is sometimes required to dewater the sludge beyond these limits, in order to obtain a high quality biofuel for incineration and/or thermal gasification. It is often inefficient, from an energy point of view, to incorporate thermal dewatering in the sludge handling strategy.

An interesting alternative to thermal processes is anaerobic digestion, which is a biological process used for energy recovery. Advantages with anaerobic digestion include biogas production, efficient treatment of sludge with high content of water and potential for nutrients recovery. The process and the kinetics of anaerobic digestion are presented.

The aim of this thesis is to present a method for evaluating different sludge handling strategies from an energy perspective, and to further develop anaerobic digestion as a process for energy recovery from sludge. The thesis is based on two papers. Paper I presents an inclusive approach with focus on energy use and energy recovery in wastewater management, including wastewater treatment and sludge handling. Paper II explores the possibility to enhance biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion of pulp mill sludge with municipal sewage sludge.

Resource allocation decisions in post-disaster operations are challenging because of situational dynamics, insufficient information, organizational culture, political context, and urgency. We propose a methodology to create a data-driven decision process for post-disaster resource allocation that enables timely, transparent and consistent decision-making during crisis. Our methodology defines the decisions that must be made, identifies relevant historical, initial, and trending data sources, and develops numerical thresholds, quantitative relationships, and optimization models to support decision making. The general process also offers flexibility to consider non-quantitative factors and spans multiple review periods. We apply this methodology to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) program for establishing and managing Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) after a disaster. A detailed case study of one disaster response and relevant historical data provide the basis for DRC decision making thresholds, relationships, and optimization models. We then apply the newly developed process to several recent disaster response scenarios and find that FEMA could have reduced cost by 60-80% while providing sufficient capacity for survivors. Finally, we discuss the generalizability of the methodology to other post-disaster programs along with limitations and potential future work.

Abstract:
Recovering valuable resources from wastewater will transform wastewater management from a treatment focused to sustainability focused strategy, and creates the need for new technology development. An innovative treatment concept - osmotic bioelectrochemical system (OsBES), which is based on cooperation between bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO), has been introduced and studied in the past few years. An OsBES can accomplish simultaneous treatment of wastewater and recovery of resources such as nutrient, energy, and water (NEW). The cooperation can be accomplished in either an internal (osmotic microbial fuel cells, OsMFC) or external (microbial electrolysis cell-forward osmosis system, MEC-FO) configuration. In OsMFC, higher current generation than regular microbial fuel cell (MFC) was observed, resulting from the lower resistance of FO membrane. The electricity generation in OsMFC could greatly inhibit the reverse salt flux. Besides, ammonium removal was successfully demonstrated in OsMFC, making OsMFCs a promising technology for "NEW recovery" (NEW: nutrient, energy and water). For the external configuration of OsBES, an MEC-FO system was developed. The MEC produced an ammonium bicarbonate draw solute via recovering ammonia from synthetic organic solution, which was then applied in the FO for extracting water from the MEC anode effluent. The system has been advanced with treating landfill leachate. A mathematical model developed for ammonia removal/recovery in BES quantitatively confirmed that the NH4+ ions serve as effective proton shuttles across cation exchange membrane (CEM).

Abstract:
Abstract With an increasing awareness of minimising the environmental footprint combined with the inclusion of circularity in the oil and gas industry, stricter laws and therefore more rigorous treatment targets will have to be implemented in the waste/resource management. Increasingly complex solid and liquid waste streams result in the further need to implement safer, more advanced technologies. Emission levels, resource recovery, energy efficiency, worker safety, and input material flexibility will become key assessment factors. The vacuum thermal desorption process allows for the recovery of resources from different industrial hazardous wastes. At the core of the process is a specially designed vacuum evaporator chamber utilizing indirect heat and controlled vacuum to evaporate contaminants. With this process, resources can be recovered and solids/mineral fractions decontaminated therefore minimising the hazardous waste and bringing valuable resources back into the value chain. A wide range of input materials, independently from their consistency, can be treated using the same process, as a result of the batch-wise working principle of the vacuum evaporator. The process reduces air emissions derived from two sources. One originates from the thermal oil heating system (flue gas), the other from the vacuum desorption process (exhaust). For the latter, in an oily waste recycling facility that processes approximately 30,000 tonnes per year, <<100 m3/h are emitted, of which on average 96 % are nitrogen. Regarding resource recovery, typical output material parameters include clean solids with a TPH (up to C40) content < 0.5 %, oil in product quality with a recovery rate > 99.5 %, and clean water for moistening of the solids. Highest energy efficiency is achieved because the vacuum reduces the boiling point of the hydrocarbons by more than 100 °C. In addition, the recovered oil can be used as fuel to run the equipment. In conclusion, resources will be recovered and therefore hazardous waste reduced, emissions decreased and highest safety for workers observed. Aside from the above stated advantages of using indirectly heated thermal desorption, this process also offers the possibility to be operated using renewable energy. Therefore, guaranteeing zero emissions supporting the health & safety of our environment and its people.

Abstract:
Early US waste-to-energy plants were constructed using conventional boilers designed for fossil fuels, gas, and oil. Combusting MSW exposed those boilers to high levels of sulfides and chlorides that caused accelerated corrosion problems. MSW fuel required higher amounts of excess air that resulted in high furnace gas velocities and metal erosion. Depending upon the individual design of each boiler, effects of higher upper furnace temperature, flame impingement, and flyash carry over were reported. This paper describes a test conducted to extend the useful metal life of superheater tubes by employing recently developed high velocity continuous combustion (HVCC) metal spray materials.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper reviews the thirty year operating history of the Pittsfield Resource Recovery Facility with emphasis on the fifteen year period between 1996 and 2011. It is a sequel to previous papers published by the co-author in the 1982 and 1996 Proceedings of the ASME National Waste Processing Conferences. The first of these reported on the development of the project, waste disposal and steam sales contacts (Pittsfield, Vicon and Crane & Co.), the facility and equipment design, start-up and shakedown. The latter reported on the fifteen year history of operation from 1981–1996 which included a new air pollution control system and a new owner/operator (Energy Answers Corporation, EAC). The author was Project Manager during the latter stages of Energy Answers ownership and is now the Facility Manager of Covanta Pittsfield, which was purchased by Covanta Energy in 2007. The Pittsfield facility is the oldest Covanta Waste to Energy plant operating with the Enercon modular furnace design with separate waste heat recovery boilers. The following topics are discussed: • Ownership of the Pittsfield Resource Recovery Facility and revised contracts. • Process flow, temperature profile, and control system. • Experience and modifications of Processing Equipment. • Materials processed, steam generated, and availability of equipment. • Residue management. • Installation and utilization of atmospheric discharge turbine with 860 KW generator. • Summary of Massachusetts DEP regulations and facility emissions. The reader’s understanding will be enhanced by reviewing the two papers identified above published in the 1982 and 1996 ASME Proceedings.

Full text
Abstract:
Municipal solid waste from Lee County and Hendry County is processed at the Lee County Solid Waste Resource Recovery Facility (the “Facility”). Lee County (the “County”) owns the Facility, which began commercial operation in December 1994. The Facility’s current permitted capacity is 1,320 tons per day (tpd), provided by two 660-tpd boiler units, at a reference waste of 5,000 Btu. Covanta Energy of Lee, Inc. operates and maintains the Facility under the terms of a Service Agreement with the County that runs through 2014. Covanta also designed and constructed the Facility. The expansion of this Facility will be the first new construction of a municipal waste combustion (MWC) unit since the New Source Performance Standards were adopted. Despite the County’s comprehensive recycling program, the amount of solid waste the County delivers to the Facility has increased each year since the Facility began operation, primarily due to population growth. In 1999, this amount reached the Facility’s guaranteed annual capacity of 372,300 tons. In 2000, the Facility processed over 392,000 tons of municipal solid waste, while the County landfilled nearly 44,000 additional tons of processible waste. Current population projections for Lee and Hendry Counties suggest that processible solid waste generation will continue to increase, reaching nearly 550,000 tons by 2010. Rather than landfilling processible waste generated in excess of the Facility’s current capacity, it is the County’s intention to expand the Facility by adding a third 660-tpd boiler unit which would increase the Facility’s permitted capacity to 1,980-tpd. The original application for the Facility’s Power Plant Site Certification anticipated such an expansion, including provisions for a third 660-tpd MWC unit. Certain provisions for this third unit were incorporated into the Facility’s design and construction as well. These included providing the physical space for the third unit, the physical space for an additional flue for the third unit, and sizing the tipping floor, refuse pit, and certain common equipment for three units. The expansion will require a second turbine-generator unit and expanded switchyard, an extension to the existing turbine-generator building, as well as the addition of a third boiler unit and air pollution control equipment. The expansion will also require modifications to certain equipment and systems common to all boiler units in order to meet the additional capacity requirements of the expanded Facility. As of February 2003, the County is waiting for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to issue a draft PSD Air Permit and is on scheduled to go before the Power Plant Siting Board in September 2003.
