Representative Projects For Trade Associations

Additional Summaries for trade Association Projects:• URS assisted AF&PA/AWC, CIBO, ACC, RMA, API, and the National Council on Air and Stream

Improvement (NCASI) with analyzing the boiler emissions data in the EPA Boiler and CISWI emissions databases. This analysis required the development of database queries and spreadsheets to analyze the available boiler and CISWI data in various ways and presenting our results toto analyze the available boiler and CISWI data in various ways and presenting our results to members. We developed various sub-categorization scenarios and calculated MACT floors.

• URS assisted the VI with analyzing the wastewater and air emissions data for the PVC MACT, developed sub-categorization scenarios, assisted with identifying additional data to be collected, and used various calculation approaches to develop MACT floors.

• URS developed regulatory summaries of proposed and final EPA rules for Association Members within days of each rule being signed.

• URS reviewed EPA work products for various regulatory proposals, such as their MACT floor memos, control cost analyses, and regulatory impact analyses, and participated in regular teleconferences to provide project progress updates, explain EPA’s methodologies, and develop technical comments on p p j p g p , p g , pthese work products.

• URS assisted CIBO, ACC, RMA, and AF&PA/AWC in developing technical comments on EPA’s proposed Boiler MACT, Boiler GACT, and CISWI rules. URS drafted reconsideration petition language for these rules.
