Fluor Enterprises, Inc. was requested by Newport Beach City Planning Department to review the
engineering evaluations and study reports presented by Hoag Hospital to the City. These reports were
prepared on behalf of Hoag Hospital by three different engineering firms: Optimum System Solution,
Inc., Newport Engineering Consultants and SYSKA HENNESSY Group. The subject reports propose
and evaluate various engineering solutions to address aesthetic issues and concerns raised by
neighboring community and residents. (Refer to the appendices for a complete copy of the reports)
The aesthetic issues and concerns associated with Cogeneration Plant Operation as identified by
neighboring residents and City for evaluation are as follows:
• Cooling Tower Plume
• Engine Exhaust Heat Plume
• Steam Plume from Cogeneration Plant Steam Vents
1.1 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study report is to evaluate the plume abatement options presented by Hoag
Memorial Hospital's Engineer to City of Newport Beach Planning Department, and comment on the
construction budget cost, feasibility and their efficacy.
Please note that cost estimate associated with each alternative as discussed herein is prepared by
Hoag Hospital's Consultant and /or Contractor. Fluor was not provided with adequate supporting
document to review and validate these estimates. Please see respective sections with detail comment
associated with cost estimate on each system and /or option.
1.2 SCOPE OF EVALUATION REPORT
Fluor's scope of evaluation is limited to the final options presented in "Plume Mitigation Measure
Summary" published on February 15, 2008 by SYSKA HENNESSY Group (Hoag's Engineer). This
report presents a summary of proposed solutions to the observed issues associated with Tower
Plume, Engine Exhaust Heat Plume and Steam Plume from vents. (See Appendix E)
In addition to the sum mary report, Fluor also reviewed cooling tower trending data and plume
observation photos as well as two evaluation reports by SYSKA HENNESSY Group, Optimum System
Solutions, Inc., Newport Engineering Consultants and finally a cooling tower computer generated
plume model by the cooling tower manufacturer (Marley). Refer to the appendices for copy of above
mentioned information.
1.3 PROJECT HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
The existing Cogeneration plant was designed and constructed in compliance with 2001 California
Building Codes (CBC), which is based on 1997 Uniform Building Codes (UBC), and was submitted to
Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for review and approval. The building

construction took place during 2004 and 2005 and it is currently in operation providing electricity, chilled
water, heating hot water and steam for Hoag Hospital.
For further project and permitting history refer to Appendix A- "Hoag Hospital Lower Campus
Cogeneration Plant Executive Summary — November 2007" provided by Hoag Hospital.
1A OSHPD
OSHPD is an abbreviation or acronym for Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development -
State of California. OSHPD provides several healthcare related services, including healthcare facility
construction documents review and processing of approvals and permitting for healthcare facility
construction in their Facility Development Division (FDD).
As of January 2008, any hospital facility design, modification and construction documents is to be
submitted to OSHPD for review and approval in accordance with current regulations and 2007
California Building Codes (CBC), which is based on 2006 International Building Codes (ICC).
Based on our conversation with OSHPD representative, their standard time duration for plan check is
60 days to review initial submittal and 30 days for each subsequent submittal to assure all comments
are incorporated into design document so permit could be issued. Times indicated herein could be
shorter or longer depending on OSHPD bad and number of projects in review. Fees associated with
document review and permitting is about 3% of project construction cost.
Code Analysis is not in Fluor's scope of work This section is provided to inform the reader of the
current building codes adopted by State of California. The engineer performing the design modification
is to do a code analysis at the concept stage of design to determine the applicable codes and
regulations (National, State and Local). During the code study, engineer is to make an assessment of
systems or building, and determine any required upgrade for the purpose of compliance with new
codes and regulations.
2.0 COOLING TOWER PLUME ABATEMENT OPTIONS REVIEW AND EVALUATION
This review assesses the efficacy of the three proposed plume abatement methodologies and
associated cost as proposed by Hoag's engineer, SYSKA HENNESSY Group.
Fluor has also proposed an alternate option (3A) which we believe, when used in conjunction with
Option 1, it offers acceptable level of plume abatement with much less cost than the budget
associated with proposed option 3, replacing all four cooling tower cells. The Alternate option proposed
by Fluor, as per planning department's request, was not developed any further due to budgetary and
time constraints. For alternate option 3A concept description see paragraph 2.4 this document.
Existing System Description
The existing cooling tower system consists of a Marley (SPX Cooling Technologies) Class 400, 4-cell
mechanical, FRP field erected, counter flow cooling tower and the associated pumping system for

delivering cooling tower water (Condenser Water) to remove heat from engine tube oil cooler, engine
intercoolers, electric chiller and absorption units. The warm condenser water return passes through
the cooling towers, rejecting the heat to atmosphere. This heat removal is accomplished mostly by
water evaporation, which at times, due to atmospheric conditions such as high relative humidity and
low temperature, forms a thick water vapor plume.
2.1 OPTION 1 - MODIFY COOLING TOWER OPERATIONAL SEQUENCES
Option Summary Description
Modifications under Option 1 require operating more tower cells than required with higher fan speed.
This modification spreads the load amongst more cells, thus incrementally reduces plume emission.
Hoag engineers believe that this opfion will reduce the plume by approximately 10 -15%.
Option Evaluation
Reviewing the trending data and associated photos for option 1, it appears that at extreme outdoor air
conditions (low temperaturethigh humidity); this mode of operation has minimal to no effect on plume
reduction.
The data and associated photos were categorized in following four distinct groups. Then visual effect
shown in each photo for 3 and 4 tower cell operation was compared for efficacy and percentage of
event in each category with respect to the total number of events (18) was calculated for comparison
purposes as shown below (Refer to Appendix C for photos and trending data);
1. Plume emission from 3 towers vs. 4 towers in operation is equal and as dense (See Events 2,
4, 11, 13, 14 and 15 out of 18 Events). Thus Option 1, in about 33% of the times is not
effective.
2. Plume emission from 3 towers vs. 4 towers in operation is equal and not appreciably different
(See Events 3, 5, 9, 16 and 18 out of 18 Events). Thus Option 1, in about 28% of times does
not make an appreciable or noticeable difference. Note that Event 3 indicates very little or no
plume for both 3 and 4 tower operation.
3. Plume emissions from 3 towers vs. 4 towers in operation are greater/equal (See Events 6, 7,
8 and 10 out of 18 Events). Thus Option 1, in about 22% of times does make a small but
noticeable difference.
4. Number of times Plume emission from 3 towers in operation is greater than 4 towers in
operation greater (See Events 1, 12 and 17 out of 18 Events). Thus Option 1, in about 17% of
times does make an appreciable and more noticeable difference.
During the site testing, and recording of the trending data (See Appendix C), the cooling towers were
loaded between 45-58% of their maximum rated capacity. It is noteworthy to mention that an increase
in condenser water utilization, at similar atmospheric conditions as the site testing data, will increase
the discharge plume density. Other factors that also increase plume density are low ambient air
temperature and high ambient relative humidity. Also the local micro- climates (on-shore/off-shore

winds, the proximity of the ocean and the varying ocean temperatures) will make it difficult to establish
a consistent set of ambient criteria with which to determine the impact to the cooling tower discharge
plume. .
The plume mitigation summary report (see Appendix 8) states that there is an increase in energy
consumption ($12,000 annual cost) which also results an increase in the Hoag Hospital's carbon foot
print. Based on our conversation with Hoag's engineer, the energy cost is a rough order of magnitude
(ROM) estimate only, which means there might be a difference of as much as +/-30% from the actual
costs. To determine a more accurate energy consumption and carbon foot print, a computer
simulation of the tower operation is required.
In conclusion, in most cases, this solution does not reduce the plume effectively. The incremental
effect is only appreciable in about 17% of the recorded events. Considering this data to be
representative of the cogeneration's current operation, Fluor recommends implementation of this
option in conjunction with other options identified below.
2.2 OPTION 2 - MODIFY CONDENSER WATER PUMPING AND PIPING SYSTEM
In this option, Hoag's engineer is proposing to blend cooler water from the tower basin with condenser
return water to reduce the return water temperature, assuming cooler return water would reduce
plume emission from cooling tower.
The construction cost is reported by Hoag to be about $0.50 million and the modified system would
experience an increase in energy consumption ($24,000 annual cost) which consequently results an
increase in the Hoag Hospital's carbon foot print.
Based on our conversation with Hoag's engineer, the construction as well as energy costs are again
Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates only. To determine a more accurate construction cost a
schematic design is required in order to provide a budget cost with higher level of certainty. For more
accurate energy consumption and carbon foot print, a computer simulation of the tower operation is
required.
This methodology, even though it reduces the condenser water return temperature by a few degrees,
would not offer appreciable plume reduction result if the condenser water supply temperature has to
remain at 78 degrees or higher. This methodology might show some results only when more cooling
towers are operated than required by the load with a higher airflow. This higher volume of airflow
normally produces lower condenser water supply temperature than the absorption chillers could
handle and cause chiller shut down.
At the lower fan speed, since condenser water still will contain the same amount of heat energy (in
higher volume of water), then the latent heat removal by the cooling towers remains the same and no
appreciable reduction of the plume would be experienced.
It is noteworthy to mention that for now, with the current tower utilization (45% to 68% of capacity), the
use of water from the tower basin is possible. However, when new chillers) and gas engine(s) are
added to serve heating, cooling and electrical needs of the expanding hospital, the cooling tower
reserve capacity diminishes and as a result, the system would not have enough capacity to supply
basin water for mixing with the condenser water return.
In conclusion, for the reasoning menfioned above, the proposed option will be of minimal effectiveness

2.3 OPTION 3
A Option 3-1, Install new Tower with Plume Mitigation System
FLUOR,
DATE 19Mar08
PAGE 7 OF 10
Rev 0
Replacing existing towers with new towers with plume abatement equipment incorporated would
be the most effective solution to reduce the plume. Hoag's engineer estimates an incremental
plume reduction of about 70%. This estimate, considering the local micro- climate and our
experience with similar technologies is a fair estimate of plume reduction. It is noteworthy to
indicate that higher percentages of plume reduction is possible, however an incremental gain in
efficacy does not justify increased equipment cost, size and the operational cost associated
with the system.
This option will have longer construction schedule as well as the possibility of disruptions in
service and system downtime with the reconstruction of the cooling towers and associated
systems. This disruption could be minimized by proper system design and construction
management. However working on the structure and demolishing sections of structure while the
tower is in operation does pose higher level of risk to ongoing operation than option 3A
The cost estimate ($9.3mm) provided by Hoag's engineers is high, and due to lack of schematic
design and supporting documents, it is difficult to substantiate and validate its content. Based on
our engineering judgment and conversations with Hoag's engineers, specific items such as
Insurance cost, OSHPD fees, Cooling Tower equipment, Boiler and associated equipment,
including installation costs were questioned and it was agreed that the estimate should be re-
visited.
During further discussion with Hoag's representative on 3/17/08, 1 was informed that Hoag's
engineer is working on a new estimate and they will publish it within next two days. Thus we will
not make any further comment until the revised estimate is available for our review and
comment.
B. Option 3 -2, retrofit existing cooling tower with plume mitigation system
Retrofitting the existing towers by adding plume mitigation equipment to the existing structure
was studied by Hoag's engineer, but due to structural complications, seismic issues, cost and
downtime, it was concluded infeasible to pursue any further.
We do agree with the conclusion. Adding dry tower onto existing structure is infeasible.
2A ALTERNATE OPTION (3A) — INSTALL REMOTE AIR TO WATER HEAT EXCHANGERS AND
PROVIDE OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE WITH MOTORIZED DAMPER ON EXISTING TOWER CELLS
Fluor's proposed alternate option (3A) requires adding a side stream air to water heat exchanger (HX)
system consisting of two to four HX sections and associated pumping system for dry cooling.
Additionally, this option would require the installation of outside air intake openings with motorized
dampers in the fan section of each cooling tower cell for mixing dry ambient air with moist tower
discharge air. This arrangement reduces condenser water return temperature and lowers the
discharge air relative humidity from tower thus reducing the chance of plume formation. Plume
reduction of about 50% should be achievable when this option and option 1 both are implemented.

Note that the performance of this system is dependant on optimized equipment sizing and system
configuration.
The Building Management/Automation System (BMS) would need to be upgraded by adding a weather
station capable of providing ambient temperature and relative humidity. BMS also need to be
programmed for automatic switch over to plume abatement mode based on trending data collected by
Hoag's engineer (See Appendix C).
The system will be switched to plume abatement mode of operation only during the times which plume
is most likely to form, thus limiting energy consumption by auxiliary systems to the period of time that
plume formation is expected.
The estimated cost associated with this system would be roughly between $2 to $5 million dollars. To
provide better cost estimates and performance evaluation, a schematic design would be required.
Note that the performance of this system is dependant on optimized equipment sizing and system
configuration.
This option (3A) would be done in conjunction with option 1. This option's efficacy would not be as
good as option 3 -1, tower replacement but it would provide significant plume abatement at a lower cost
and system downtime would be less than that compared to option 3 -1. Since the dry cooling system is
completely separate installation, existing operation except connection to the existing tower pumping
system, the dry cooling system could be installed and started without impacting ongoing operation.
3.0 COGENERATION ENGINE EXHAUST HEAT PLUME ABATEMENT OPTION REVIEW AND
EVALUATION
This review assesses efficacy of the three proposed Engine Exhaust Heat Plume Abatement
methodologies and associated cost as proposed by Hoag's engineer.
Note that some of Fluor's proposed solutions are currently under study by Hoag Hospital's engineer.
Fluor will only comment on the summary but will not be able to fully evaluate these options until the
completed option study is published.

Modifications under Option 1 require mechanical dilution by adding outside air to engine exhaust in order
to lower stack discharge air temperature. Reducing the temperature of the exhaust reduces the
undesirable visual distortion. This method is technically feasible and may be effective.
SYSKA HENNESSY Group is currently conducting a study based on our consultations to provide a fan
powered mechanical dilution system to remedy exhaust heat plume issues.
Option Evaluation
This option is not completed and not ready for further review or comment.
The issue of condensation due to exhaust flu cooling, mentioned in the Syska Hennessey report
(Appendix B) description, could be resolved by proper system configuration and drainage to limestone pit
or neutralization system prior to discharge into sanitary sewer system. (See Appendix E for
manufacturer that offers expertise and equipment for exhaust system control).
3.2 OPTION 2 — RELOCATE STACK DISCHARGE TO HORIZONTAL POSITION
Option Summary Description
Modifications under Option 2 require relocating exhaust stacks to minimize line of site visual from public
spaces to the north.
SYSKA HENNESSY Group is currently conducting a study to assess feasibility of this option.
Option Evaluation
This option is not completed sufficiently and not ready for our review and evaluation.
3.3 OPTION 3 — EXHAUST ECONOMIZER
Modifications under Option 3 require exhaust gas heat exchangers, pumping systems, controls and
architectural work.
Option Evaluation
This option is not completed and not ready for our review and evaluation.

• During start up and commissioning of the steam system, Hoag Hospital reports intentional relief
of steam from steam header for purpose of testing during start up and commissioning.
• Manual vents are normally closed. They will operate only as needed by building operating
personnel for system testing purposes. System testing is an infrequent event.
• Pressure safety relieve valve automatically open only due to system malfunction causing
system over pressurization.
The operating parameters described are typical and normal. Based on Fluors conversations with Hoag
Hospital, their engineers and City Planning Department, steam discharges have not been observed
recently, which is consistent with Hoag Hospital and engineer's report. Thus no action required.

The solution was for the hospital to generate its own power source, and
to shill Southern California Edison to a backup option, along with the
diesel generators already on the hospital caws. The current system's
redundancy ensures no surgeon at Haag Hospital will be faced with the
situation .of having a patient receiving medical services or having
surgery and there be :no power to run the lights or the sophisticated
equipment meeded to provide medical dent or save a life.
As the primary source of electricity for the 38 -acre hospital campus, the
two - story, 24,000 square -foot Cogeneration facility houses generators
capable of supplying as much as 4.5 megawatts of power which provides
for Hoag Hospital's current and future power needs. Additionally, the
Cogeneration Plant provides the Women's Pavllion; and future hospital
facilities on the Upper and Lower Campus with chilled water.

.Mechanics.-, Hoag Hospital's Cogeneration Plant utilizes three 16
cylinder, 2000 hp natural gas - .fired reciprocaltd engines as the primary
energy source. Each engine is linked to a generator to produce
electricity, which, in parallel with So. Cal Edison, provides the hospital
with the electricity it requires. The system, via Waster Heat Recovery
Units also produces chilled water which is pumped to. all the buildings
on campus to provide Air Conditioning. Finally, the system via heat
exchangers provides hot water for the hospital.
History of Construction and Avorovab: The bulk of the building
consttuctiodtook, place during 2004 and 2005. , The natural gas fired
chillers; electrical chiller, natural gas fued boiler, and three of the four
cooling to'~r+ers associated with th e Cogeneration Phint have been
installed and are being used to support Hoag Hospital operations. (The
four cooling towers have been permitted, the f6urth coolingthwer has
recently been completed and is in the testing phase,)
The City provided, approval-in-concept for the. Cogeneration Project on
September 17� 2001, And the California Coastal Commisston
approved
the project on December 10, 2001 The adjacent neighbors were
informed of the project as evidenced by minutes, of the Villa Balboa
Association meeting November 19, 2002. Coastal Development Permit
No., 5-02-325 was subsequently issued on June 12, 2003. Several permits
were issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management for the
Cogeneration Plant project The grading permit for the Cogeneration
Plant was issued by the City on July 22, 2003, and project construction
was commenced on August 26, 2003.
Current Operatfilonts-The Cogeneration plant is fully operational and
providing electricity, chilled water, and air conditioning forl4oag
Hospital. All three generators are operating along with 3 of the 4 cooling
towers. The 0 tooling tower is scheduled to be operation by the end of
2007. The plant is fully permitted by all relevant agencies including the
City of Newport Beach, the California Coastal Commission, OSErD,
and the South Coast Air Quality Management District The plant, as
5.15,
currently operating, meets the standards of the City's Noise Ordinance
and is projected to do so once the 4, tower is operating.

Cogen Plant Stearn 'Vents
® The Plant has steam pressure safety and atmospheric - vents for the following
equipment:
— Steam- Boiler
— Waste Heat Recovery Units
— Condensate Receiver Tanks
® Automatic Steam Pressure Safety Vents:
— Automatic high pressure safety release valves as required by code.
— Steam would only be vented from these in an abnormal,condition where the
steam header - pressure became excessive in the system,
— Hoag has replaced the pressure relief valves on these vents due to the old
valves leaking and venting steam to thel.atmosphere.

A Better Climate for the Boiler
Air is an essential ingredient in a combustion process. It supplies oxygen for the combustion
process and it becomes part of the products of combustion, or flue gases. The precise supply of air
to the burner and the precise exhaust rate from the appliance is extremely important during the
process. If not properly controlled, they can cause insufficient combustion, inefficient and
expensive appliance operation, excessive emissions, and reduce life- expectancy of the entir
heating system.
Venting systems for heating appliances can experience excessive or

Efficiency and Emissions
For a heating appliance to be efficient and produce the
lowest possible emission level, it must maintain a perfect
flame and maximize heat transfer. A perfect flame can only
be obtained by maintaining a precise fuel -to -air ratio, and
proper air supply and draft are essential in achieving this.
It is not uncommon to see high - efficiency boilers operate
at efficiency levels of low- efficiency boilers. This is purely a
result of lack of draft control making the additional
investment in high - efficiency wasted.

exterior of the building. The heating appliances will operate
more efficiently and produce a higher output. Benefits of
installing a CASV system include:.
• Full modulation and 100% draft control.
• Priority Operation Function and Bearing Cycle Activation
• Interlocks 6:appliances (standard) or as many as
necessary with add -on relay boards.
• Easy programming of essential functions - 80
parameters are programmable for customized solutions.
• Cast aluminum chimney fan and impeller for use with
Category 1, 11, 911 and IV appliances (condensing and

control of commercial boilers. It features "on- demand"
control, that maintains a precise draft by constantly
adjusting the exhaust rate to meet current needs.
The direct-drive design provides substantially more accurate
draft control than traditional over -fire draft controls due to
the multiblade damper combined with the fast- acting EBC3(
control. Benefits of installing a MODS system include:
• Full modulation and 100% draft control.
• Integrated safety system with Proven Draft function,
over- pressure cut -out switch and operation verification.
• Priority Operation Function, and Bearing Cycle Activatior
• Interlocks 6 appliances (standard) or as many as
necessary with add -on boards.
• Easy programming . of essential functions -80
parameters are programmable for customized solutions
• Multi-blade damper for fast and accurate draft control
• Maintains low emissions, including NOx.
• Fast - acting; direct drive actuator with brushless motor
• System and control are listed to UL378; Standard far
Draft Equipment.
• Maintenance' free and service-friendly design.
The MODS System can be combined with a CASVor CASI
and an MICAS system all controlled by a single control unit.

The MCAS, Modulating Combustion Air Supply System'"
assures that the exact amount of combustion air is brought
into the mechanical room. It features "on- demand" control,
that maintains a precise pressure condition in the
mechanical room by constantly adjusting the air supply rate
to meet current needs.
The concept can provide substantial savings over louvers and
offers . significantly better control of the supply of
combustion air. The Box Ventilator (or inline fan) can be
installed outdoors or indoors without modifications. The
heating appliances will operate more efficiently with fewer
flame - failures. Benefits of installing a MCAS system include:
• Full modulation and 100% pressure control.
• Priority Operation Function and Bearing Cycle Activation
• Interlocks 6 appliances (standard) or as many as
necessary with add -on boards.
• Easy programming of essential functions -80
parameters are programmable for customized solutions.
• TEFC -motor with direct drive and true variable speed
(inverter duty).
• System and control are listed to UL1995, Standard
for Safety Heating and Cooling Equipment and
CSA C22.2, No. 236 -97.
• Maintenance free and service- friendly design.
The MCAS System can be combined with a CASV orCASI
and a MODS system all controlled by asingle control unit..

Cooling Tower Water Vapor AbatemenI
U. INTRODUCTION
17 Sept 2007
A. Optimum Systems Solutions (OSS)
We were requested to provide input to the ongoing investigation to reduce the` visual
impact of the water vapor discharged from the Hoag Hospital cogeneration (CoGen) plant
cooling towers. We are a licensed mechanical engineering consulting firm with over 25
years experience in design and troubleshooting mechanical systems specializing in
healthcare facilities design, construction projects, and systems troubleshooting in California
and international.
B..Lvalaation
The scope of this evaluation included (1) reviewing Newport Engineering Consultants
Repast (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) on Possible Avenues of
Mitigation for Cooling Tower Condensed Water Vapors for Hoag Co- Generation Facility
and (2) the reports and proposed options for the cooling tower water vapor abatement
submitted by several firms retained by Hoag (copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibits B; C, and D).
C Cooling Tower System
The cooling tower system was designed to operate as an integrated sub system with a
r cogeneration . plant to provide essential services such as reliable electricity, as well as
chilled and heated water, tc meet the growing needs of Hoag Hospital's operation. This is
imperative as Hoag Hospital provides an essential serviceto the community. During the
design and permitting stages of the cogeneration project, multiple meetings with the
neighbors and the community clarified the scope of the.project.
In addition to those steps, due to the functionality of the, plant, the hospital went through
mandatory plan reviews and approvals by special government agencies. The additional
required consextts were obtained from all other governmental agencies, including, the
California Coastal Commission, and South Cost Air Quality. Management Distract
(SCAQlbib) the most stringent in the nation. Hoag has expended a substantial amount of
capital:funding to build and bring this very complex system to. its current operational state,
D. OSHPD Process
The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) is a California State
agency, which administers a program requiring any health facility construction plans to be
reviewed, permitted, and facilities are inspected to ensure compliance to State seismic
safety laws. Any physical modification to the CoGen plant will be subject to OSHPD
review. Modifications to existing systems will require revising the systems to different
requirements enacted after the date that the CoGen was approved by governmental
agencies. In most cases, bringing an existing system up to current codes result in
significant additional cost that oilers very little value in return. Except for operational
( } modifications, all other options proposed in attached reports will require either physical
modifications to existing equipment such as supporting pipes from existing towers, or
building new structures to secure additional equipment; Consequently, new structures are
Page 3
3.132
Cooling Tower Water Vapor Abatement
17 Sept 2007
needed to support and properly brace the additional pipes and anchor new equipment in
place.
TIL SUMMARY OF CONCLUSION
After reviewing the proposed options for the cooling water vapor condensation abatement set forth
in the report submitted by Newport Engineering. Consultants„ shown in Exhibit A. we would like to
offer our analysis. Please note that except for the Bock Engineering approach (Ifeatbeam on tower
discharge) all other options are presented in the report submitted by Syska Engineers, shown in
Exhibit.B.
The excessive costs to implement the proposed modifications and the additional energy consumption
by new processes will defeat the purpose of the cooling tower system as a cogeneration entity. The
primary purpose of the cooling towers is to reject thermal beat to the atmosphere so that there is
efficient operation of the engines, waste heat recovery systems; and chillers. that make up the
cogeneration plant. Most importantly, the effect of the downtime during the modifications will
significantly compromise the hospital's ongoing operations. Furthermore, there are no guaranties
that any option or any combination of options will ensure the complete or even significant
elimination of the water vapors discharged by subject cooling towers.
We agree with Newport Engineering's statement: "A partial.mitigation effort is unhikely to resolve
the aesthetic issues associated with the water vapors ", but we are doubtful that a combination.of
proposed solutions will fully eliminate the water vapor discharges.
IV: ALTERNATIVES
The following discussion attempts to address each of the proposed solutions outlined in the report
submitted by Newport Engineering consultants. We will address each in order.
A. Proposal One: Adding Treating Coils to the Tower Disebarge & Modification by
Marley Towers.
This approach proposes to fit the tower cells with heating coils utilizing steam or heating
hot water to beat up the cooling tower discharge, The idea is to vaporize the water vapor
discharged from the tower to smaller invisible particles by adding heat the towers
discharge. Cooling towers are ineantto reject heat to the atmosphere; injecting heat into
their discharge is nothing short of air conditioning the outdoors for visual purposes.
I , This modification will require new piping, installation of new heating
coils on top of the towers, and pumping to nm water through those coifs.
It will also require reprogramming the controls sequence and additional
sensors for monitoring vapor density and signaling. Structurally, the
current towers. cannot withstand the added coil weights. Anymodification
to the tower's existing condition will require structural upgrades, Most
Page $
.3.133
Cooling Tower Water Vapor Abatement
17 Sept 2007
importantly during modification, the plant will not be able to provide
much needed essential services to the hospital.
Marley Tower Modification- at the direction of Hoag Hospital Syska
Engineers contacted the manufacturer of the existing cooling towers to
determine if there was anything that could help in reducing the visible
water vapor discharges from the cooling towers. While Marley (the
cooling tower manufacturer) does have some off the shelf components,
their primary supplier (Air Treatment Company) indicated in the letter
(See Exhibit D) to Hoag Hospital that, "The one common outcome of all of
these studies is that none of then¢ ever became, a project". The letter goes
on to say, "These solutions require waremely expensive installations with
and incredible amount of wasted energy in operation if they are
installed". In discussion with Syska Hennessy Engineers along with Air
Treatment Company, it was estimated that retrofitting the existing cooling
towers would cost on the order of $2.4 million (about 75% of the cost of
new towers installation), withno guaranty of 100%u:mitigation. All these
costs do not take into account the down tithe and.hospital services
interruption.
2. The estimated cost:of this modification is apparently $2;404,000, with a
minimum 18 to 24 months of implementation schedule.
3. We do not recommend this approach due to operational disruptions,
OSIDD process, high construction costs and excess energy:consumption.
Additionally, even ifthe controls are established as independent of the
existing controls, it will further complicate the control sequence of
operations.
B. Proposal Two: Adding Radiant Heat or Inject Hot Air into the Tower's Discharge
This approach proposes to install radiant heaters above tower cells and inject beat into
tower discharge by means of natural gas heaters. The idea; similar to the approach
described in item A above, is to vaporize the water vapor discharged by the towers to
smaller invisible particles through the heating process. Again, it is nothing short of air
conditioning the outdoors for visual purposes
1. This modification will require installation of new structural elements
to hold heating units above the towers. Additionally, it will require
reprogramming of the controls sequence and the addition of sensors
for monitoring and signaling. There are: no known functioning
installations available for review or to investigate for this project.
Theoretically, it may appear to be a sound approach, but after many
years of field experience, we have )earned that theories have seldom, if
{ i ever, offered pragmatic solutions.
2. The estimated cost of this modification is unknown with a minimum
18 to 24 months of implementation schedule.
Page 5
3.134
Cooling Tower Water Vapor Abatement
17 Sept 1007
3. We do not recommend that Hoag become a testing ground for this
approach for the following reasons, a) utilizing energy to eliminate the
product of excess beat would be an unnecessary use of resources; b)
due to the mandatory additional structure required to hold the
equipment independently above towm -s making it an ©S11PD project;
c) high construction costs and excess energy consumption will be a
result; and d) it will fiuther complicate the control sequence of
operations.
C. Proposal Three: Modifying Operational Parameters and Load Shifting Through
In -House Modifications
This proposal shown in more detail in Syska Hennessy Study (Exhibit B) describes
multiple minor adjustments such as cooling tower supply and return:watertemperature
adjustments, time of day operating adjustments, shifting parameters in response to
outdoor temperature and humidity conditions, speeding.up the tower fans during
predefined ambient temperatures settingsi: etc. this proposal would also involve
readjusting the temperature of the cooling tower water supply by redirecting the load to
hospital's upper campus plant. The statement by Newport Engineering about the
availability of an additional cooling plant located in the upper campus and its
connectivity to our subject (lower campus plant) is accurate. We agree that during the
early morning hours when water vapor is most visible and the cooling demands are
minimal, the upper campus plant.can produce the chilled water up to its capacity to
satisfy the condition. however, the lower campus plant's engine generators run
continuously using the same cooling towers for their j ticket cooling and will demand the
towers to operate even when the chillers are not operating. Also the lower campus plant
has both absorption (steam and hot water) chillers and centrifugal (electric) chillers.
Each type demands a different condensing (tower) water temperature (absorbers require
warmer condensing water and centrif igals operate at premium efficiencies with much
cooler:condenser water) from the towers. Currently the plant runs at optimal setting that
is satisfactory to both types. Any shift or fluctuation in the supply of condensing water
temperature.will result in loss of system efficiency and will affect the overall cooling
capacity.
1. A combination of operational modification mentioned above will provide
the best results of the four proposals. This.proposal will require
monitoring and evaluating the shifting of different parameters and settings,
to ensure the least amount of negative affect on other related systems and
components.
I The estimated overall cost of these modifications is S185,000 and the
expected completion date will be before 2008.
{ 3. We strongly recommend implementing these modifications. They will
bring the most effective results for their associated costs. Additionally,
Page 6
3.135
Cooling Tower Water Yapor Abatement
17 Swt 2007
these modifications will not require any governmental agency approvals,
Which allow them being executed expeditiously. The most important
Benefit from this approach is that none of the essential services to the
hospital will be interrupted.
D. proposal Four: Blend Incoming Warm Water with Cooler Tower Basin Water,
Shown in Syska Hennessy document {Exhibit 4
This approach will mix the warm return water by adding cooler tower basin water to:the
flow. Then the water is further cooled by the:tower and .dropped into the basin. The
other approach is to mix the incoming warm water with the cooling tower basin water :.to
pre-cool the water before introducing it to the tower for further cooling.
i. The approach will requite the rearrangement of existing piping;. as well as
installation of piping and pumping equipment:. Also, the controls
sequence and additional sensors for monitoriag end signaling will need to
be reprogrammed.
2. The estimated cost of this modification is $800,000 with a minimurn 14
mouth of implementation schedule.
3. We do not recommend pursuing Us approach. Modifications will require
mandatory reviews and approvals by OSHPD, loss of tower service.during
the execution resulting in hospital operations essential service disruption,
and potential to bring about operational complication.after installation;
rnakingthis an infeasible approach
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is our recommendation that Hoag Hospital should avoid anyproposed modifications: which will
require. construction resulting in OSHPD involvement, and concentrate its - -efforts to seduce the water
vapor generation to the extent possible through operational means which include adjuOn& cooling.
water temperature set points and modifying the controls program sequence.
Currently, Hoag Hospital has completed the installation of the plant's forth cooling tower,'and it is
going thmugh it commissioning process. With the forth cooling tower coming on line, theloads will
be further distributed and with operational adjustments, the amount of visible water vapor will be
reduced. We strongly recommend that Hoag Hospital continues with operational adjustments and
monitor the visibility of water vapor to further adjust and fine -tune the system in minimizing the
visible water vapor.

Report on Possible Avenues of Mitigation for
Cooling Tower Condensed Water Plumes and Engine Exhaust Plumes -
Hoag Co- Generation Facility
August.13,2007
Thermal Mechanism of a Cooling Tower
The purpose of a cooling tower is to ruix air and water, thus transferring the latent heat
of vaporization of part of the water to the air with which it.is mixing. Keeping in mind
the 1000 BTU latent heat of vaporization;,, one pound of water evaporated in the tower
will cool 1000 pounds of water 1 degree F. Normally the "approach" in a tower is about
10 degrees, meaning the temperature of the leaving water will be. about l0 degrees below
the wet bulb temperature of the: incoming air (for a discussion of key concepts and
definitions related to this report, please see the supplemental section at the end of this
report),
Essentially, the transfer of:heat'from the incoming water by evaporation of a portion of
the water requires no extemal,power except perhaps for a pump to, lift the water to the top
of the tower. The difference in temperature between the top of the tower and the open
bottom of the structure creates a drag, moving air up through the:tower. This passive
method is used in very large .cooling towers, such as those installed in nuclear pourer
plants that are not sited near a large source of natural cooling water. In smaller towers,
fares are installed to maximize airflow. However, the addition of a fan is strictly to reduce
the size of the installation, as opposed to any effect on the thermodynamic water /air heat
interchange.
Exiting the top of the cooling tower is a mixture of water vapor and air saturated to
approximately 10 degrees below the measured wet bulb temperature.. If the temperature
of the air into which the water vapor is mixing (an'aii jet mixing with still air will form
about a 30 degree cone) is below the dew point, the heat-from the water vapor will be
transferred to the air thus. condensing the water vapor back into liquid water. The super
coaled water vapor stays mixed' with the air until it reaches a dust or salt particle on,
which the molecules of water condense and collect until they are visible as fog particles'
This creates the condensate plume visible to those in proximity to the tower: Given the
undesirable aesthetic .effects associated with such plumes, a range of plume abatement
technologies has been developed and deployed when cooling towers are located near
residential or other scenically sensitive locations. For the Hoag cooling towers, the
normal coastal onshore air flow, which is often cool, moist, and laden with salt, often
amplifies the plume formation as compared to what might occur at a hotter, drier inland
location.
The installation configuration of the Hoag cooling towers just below the level of the
lower campus bluff causes the exit plume to be essentially at ground level with respect to
t. the adjacent dwellings and the View Park, thus increasing the visual impact on occupants
and visitors as well as an elevated level of relative humidity. Whereas a normal
2343—(Q
3.138
installation, with both the cooling towers and the dwellings at ground level, would cause
the plume discharge to be 20 to 40 feet above grade. In addition, a draft tube and a
somewhat more energetic fan could be installed which would throw the plume even
higher above the residents. Unfortunately the configuration of the tower, which is below
the bluff on which the dwellings and park. are located,. precludes this approach.
Cooling Tower Condensate Plume- Mitigation Methods
The goat of the mitigation measures discussed:berein is to eliminate the visible
condensate plume under the widest.possible range of atmospheric and operational
conditions in the most efficient manner possible. A partial mitigation effort is unlikely to
resolve the aesthetic issues associated with the plumes, and will likely cause the issue to
continue simmering in the community.
Absent:replacing the current coaling towers with a design specifically engineered for
plume abatement,.retrofitting the towers and modifying operational.parametera is second
best option. Several methods for addressing the plume have been.proposed by various
parties, and are discussed briefly below. Please note that, given that the plant's location
close to the ocean, which is highly conducive to plume formation, and given the range of
operational conditions affecting the cooling towers, a composite solution, involving two
or more mitigation techniques will likely be needed to achieve optimum results.
Determining the ideal combination of techniques will require additional study of
atmospheric and operational, factors as well as operational testing.
The listof mitigation techniques discussed below is intended to address the
methodologies already proposed by the firms retained by Hoag for this purpose.. It also
includes aproposal offered by Marley Cooling: Towers, the manufacturer of the towers
used by Hoag. Additional methods: may be feasible, and would require additional
research to develop.
Adding A Heating Coil to the Tower Discharge. The Marley Cooling Tower Division
of SPX Cooling Technologies offers an option wherein the tower cells are fitted with a
heating coil utilizing all or part of the incoming hot condenser water. Subsequently the
condenser water is discharged into the basin of the tower cell and further cooled. The
Marley technical staff has addressed the present undesirable plume generation and only
needs the weather data existing at the site when the plume is present. The weather
parameters are required as well as the condenser water temperatures in order to determine
the heat exchanger coil's required thermal capacity. Apparently this approach to plume
abatement is offered by Marley Cooling Tower as a catalog enhancement to the type of
towers used at the Hoag facility. It is therefore somewhat surprising that this approach
has not previously been suggested. In any case, given that this is an established
technology developed by the manufacturer for plume abatement, this approach offers a
number of advantages. Also, this method could easily be combined with load shifting to
optimize abatement when atmospheric conditions are most conducive to plume
( formation.

Adding Radiant Heat to the Discharge: A schematic proposal developed by Bock
Engineering addresses the fact additional heat needs to be added to the water vapor /air
mix to raise the level of heat in the water vapor/air mix above the dew point. This means
there will be very little, if any, condensed liquid water in the plume to nucleate as visible
droplets of water.. From a general thermodynamic and psychometric standpoint, this
method is sound. Recording instrumentation will need to be deployed to fill .in the lack of
local psychometric data enough to develop a prototype for one cell, or even �6 of a cell
with abarrier to prevent mixing of the plumes during the evaluation period. The use of
dew point instrumentation; as Bock proposed, is the preferred: method of control. This
method could be combined with one or more of the other methods discussed herein.
Modifying Operational Parameters - Load Shifting through In house
Modifications: There is an additional cooling tower on the central plant loop located
remotely from residents (on the Hoag upper campus) that is piped to accept water now
being cooled by the co- generation plant cooling towers. Since the plume phenomena is at
a maximum during periods of cool, moist air conditions, it maybe possible to shift part of
the operational load to the upper campus during these periods, since the chiller loads are
much reduced under these same conditions. To divert the water would.require some
capacity controls on the pumps (probably variable frequency drives (VFDs) and controls
for water temperature and flow rate). This approach would best be utilized in.
combination with one or more of the other mitigation methods discussed herein: to
maximize plume abatement under the conditions during which the plume is most evident
(i.e. when the atmosphere it cool at or below the dewpoint and the relative humidity is
also high).
5yska Hennessy Proposals; Several methods of water vapor:formation were discussed
in the report prepared by Syska Hennessy. It is not fully understood from the report how
the water vapor maybe controlled, since the amount of water vapor generated is in direct
proportion to the heat that must be absorbed by the latent beat of vaporization of a portion
of the water, thus creating the.water vapor. It is the condensation of this vapor, under
certain atmospheric conditions, that is the problem.
Some of the proposed scenarios. include adjusting the tower entering and or leaving water
temperatures. Since one pound of water contains approximately :1.000 BTU latent heat
and one pound of liquid water contains only one BTU per one- degree.delta T, the effect
upon tower plume operation by revising water process flow temperatures, is unclear.
Cogeneration Engine Exhaust Stacks - Mitigation Methods
Exhaust stacks from the presently installed cogeneration plant engines discharge exhaust
gas plumes that are unsightly, and which are clearly visible from the View Dark and
residences that sit atop the bluff. The reported temperature of the exhaust is about 400
degrees, although from the appearance of the discharge, the temperature appears greater
{ than that reported. The temperature is maintained at 400 F or above because the water
3.140
formed as a result of burning fuel will condense at a lower temperature. This condensate
is corrosive to steel.
Two alternatives are.presented, One is to cool the exhaust in an Wine heat exchanger
condensing the water. The second method is to introduce a counter current water spray.
In both cases non- corroding materials will be required and the effluent will require a
discharge to sanitary. If the pli is above themaste discharge permit, neutralization or
dilution may be required. Either presented solution should allow for mitigation of the
exhaust plumes with minimal operational effect and at.reasonable cost.
An alternate solution.that might be implemented in isolation, or.in.combination with the
methods proposed.above, would be to redireet:the current exhaust stacks so the effluent is
not visible to those on the bluff above.
Additional Scientific Background on Coaling Tower Plumes r.Partial history, of
Beat
Heat has always been with us, however until the I Century, the measurement of heat
bad been lost:in.antiquity. At that time a person with the last name of Fahrenheit filled. a
graduated glass tube with an open column of mercury containing a reservoir at the
bottom. He then placed the bulb in ice and wares and the scale measured 32. Subjecting
the bulb to boiling water gave a reading of 212 on the scale. This measurement of
temperature worked well for the scientific communityuntil France.came up with the
Centigrade system (since renamed as Celsius);making it easier to count on ones fingers.
In the Celsius system 0 degrees is freezing and 100 degrees is boiling, making Celsius
5/9u' F Onus 32:
Since we use the Fahrenheit system and the English system of weights and measures, one
British Thermal Unit (BTLD equals the heat necessary to heat one pound of water one
degree F. Since this is a relatively small unit, a NOW (1000 BTi J) is often used as a
quantity of heat.
Most materials have a freeze/melt point and a condense/vaporize temperature. Also in the
equation is latent heat of fusion (freezing) and.latentheat of vaporization (boiling). For
water, the latent heat of:fieezing is 44 BTU/LB, which means 44 BTU must be removed
from the water per pound of ice. The latent heat of vaporization is about 1000 BTU/LB
for water, which is fortunate because many industrial processes benefit from the fact that
steam heat is far more efficient in transporting heat than is hot water.
One element is required to transfer heat from one entity to another entity. There must be a
difference in temperature.between the heater and the acceptor of the heat, usually known
as a delta T or an "approach" (there is no such thing as cold — only a lack of heat).
Additional concepts relevant to the discussion at hand are the "dry bulb" and "wet bulb"
(
JIL temperatures. Tile dry bulb temperature is the temperature without including the effect of
moisture in the air. The wet bulb temperature is called that because in the early times
--2--�
3.(41
there existed a device known as a sling psychrometer, which was composed of two
thermometers attached together with a chain. One of the thermometers had a wet cloth
jacket and was spun around. Water would evaporate from the.moving thermometer thus
lowering the temperature below the dry bulb. This then became a measurement of how
much more water the air may absorb before it becomes saturated (I00 %a Relative
Humidity) and is known as a wet bulb temperature.
The last concept is the "dew point The dew point is the temperature of a surface on
which water will condense, such as one sees with a glass of ice water. This temperature is
also related to the wet bulb and is a measure of how much additional water the air can
absorb. Measurement of the dew point was comidered.somewhat unwieldy; because it
requires a refrigeration capability to induce the.formation of dew (Le. condensed watet),
however; modern electronic instramentation has eliminated the need for refrigeration. ,

Dear Mr. Trigg:
Subject:. Cooling Tower Plume Abatement
Air Treatment has been the manufacturer's representative for Baltimore Aircoll for 6 years now. In that
time we have worked on hundreds of studies for plume abatement for various customers. The one
common outcome of all of these studies is that none of them ever became a project. Major factors in
these outcomes include anornio s initial coats, ongoing energy. inefficiency and their associated costs
and the fact That there are no. soiutions.that guarantee 100% mitigation.
There are two main.ways to accomplish plume abatement on a coolitV tower. You can Install massive
hot water heating colts and fans or direct fred natural gas heaters. With either design you are aTempting
to artificially generate enormous amounts of.heat to eliminate the plume. tf is very similar to the efteox
the sun has burning o8 the morning fog. These solutions require extremely expensive installations with
and incredible amount of wasted energy In operation If they are installed.
Ak Tiestnrentis prepared to welt with HOfhG to study tfhe problem and design the optimal solution if thet
is what you would like to do. This later is intended as a general outline of the challenges we will face
working on this project.
Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to assist you on this situation?
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Technical Response to
"Cooling Tower Water Vapor Abatement" prepared by Optimum Systems
Solutions, _Inc on Behalf of 11bagliospital and dated September 17 "i, 2007
This document was composed in response to the report entitled "Cooling Tower Water
Vapor Abatement" preparett by Opfinium Systems Solutions, Inc on, behalf of Hbag
Hospital and matte available oa Septemb,.,r 17`", 2007. "Cooling Tower Water Vapor
Abateirtent" is "supposed to:review acid discuss methods for abating visible plumes of
water condensate from the cogeneration plant cooling toners located at the western most
edge of the Hoag lower cartpbs. *'1 The methods considered by Optimum Systems
Solutions (OSS) in its report were developed in three prei iuus studies commissioned by
Hoag to study this problem. These three preceding studies were conducted by Bock
Engineering, Syska Hennessey, and Newport Eigineermg,Consultants.
This report is intended to provide aresponse and counts -point to the analysis provided
by OSS. In particular, it will seek correct several deficiencies in areas offact -and logic
flow in the report by OSS,, -
This report wil l also address methods of mitigating two,additional emissions problems
related to the I-loag cogencration plant, both of which were ignored in the OSS report:
These, are: 1) .Emission plumes from the cogeneration exhaust stacks on the roof of the
plant, and 2) Steam venting from values on the roof of the cogeneration plant.
In order to facilitate matching the responses in this report to the material in the OSS
report, the material below is organized under the same headings and in did stone order as
used in the OSS report:
Cooling Tnwer System
First, it should be noted that the operation of the cogeneration plant is very beneficial to
Hoag, and not "imperative as suggested by OSS. This is well illustrated by the fact that
Hoag has functioned for over 5101 years without the plant. And, in fact, most hospitals do
not rely on an onsite cogeneraion'facilily to provide electricity. Power for normal
operations typically comes from the grid, while emergency back up power is provided by
back up generators. Therefore, while it is certainly desirable that Hoag have its own
power plant, especially given its growth plans, it is not imperative as other sources of
power are readily available, and have been used to supply the hospital since its founding.
TEL ft "(949) 955 -5850 0 FAX #
769 3.17q
Further, the report from OSS states that during the design and approval process that Hoag
conducted multiple . meetings with neighbors and the cmmnuniiy to "clarify the scope of
the project " This statement paints an inaccurate picture of how Hoag communicated
with the commiLmity, the City, and the Coastal Commission about the plant. Below, is a
'timeline for the primary emnmunications. by Hoag,rclated to the cogeneration plant;.
On, November 14'1'7 2003 several Hoag representatives made a pmsen iition to the Board
of1)irectors of Villa Balboa. At this meeting; llOag gave an,ovcrview of the platit,,and
indicated that'"steam" would be visible from the facility "intorniittentlyt' A review, of
the aniantes of that meeting shows that Hoag attended for the purpose of makitig an
announccrnent ofplans that were already in place, - rather than seeking, feedback from the
community. Further, in three subsequent communications, one in writing, residents were
informed that e"sther, there would be no visible emissions from'the plant, or that- steaht
would be visible, but only during a limited period while the plant was undergoing testing
.prior to begifiningtiom6il operation.
Cho Kist of these subsequenteomnuinications was th meeting eeting held by F Hoag bn August
2b`h 2003 in the ( ancer Center auditorium on the lower campus: Again, this meeting
did not solicit feedback on the dasigti of the plant, but rnther consisted:of an
announcement -by 1-Fodg that.they,would be breaking ground =on the plant the'nexc day.
i-Ioag also provided a review -'of the plant's constriction timeline. During a question and
answer session at the end of the meetiirt.;, RrLr. Sam Stamesoia, a resident of Villa Balboa,
asked if there would he any kind of visible emissions from tllc plant. `i"he answer was
there -would not be any visible emissions from the plant.
The second meeting on August -22, 2005 was held by I3oag to discuss their ongoing
development plans For the I-long lower campus. At this tinge, the platrt had been
constructed and was in a pre..- operational test phase. During; the question and answer
phtnse ofthis meeting, Moe Quirk, a resident of Villa Balboa, tasked Langston Trigg if" die
emissions seen recently from the plant were going fo be a permanctitfeature of its
operation. Mr. I rigg indicated that the emissions visible from the plant: were part Of tile
testing phase, but wrould nol.continue after the plant began regular operations, further,
Mr. Trigg's reassurance was also made in a follow up letter to all balla,Balboa residents
dated August 30, 2001-4'' Tile letter contains the following text,
,'its you may know, Hoag Hospital is currently in the process aj'hulldirag a power plant
on our lower campus to provide the entire hospital with a more direct and cost efficient
electrical source. The Co- Ceneraticnfacilify istocated along Pacific Coast .Highway at
the west end of the hospital's campus, near Superior Boulevard.
The testing of this equipment began afew months ago, and will, continue into the hull.
During the testing process; you may hear equipmenl noise and notice steam coming-from
the facility. The sounds are the result of external engines 'being used.during gelling which
will be removed one(,, in -deer anon and the steam a byproduct of the testing, both will be
eliminated once the Co -t eneraliom plant is in fill operation,
3,:175.
Over the tbiee year period from 20.031 to 2005, the residents of Villa Balboa were
reassured that phones would be eliminated after testing by Hoag's verbal and written
statements on the subject of emissions; and came >to believe that the emissions from the
plant were a temporary problem.
Lastly, the report by OSS notes that the plant was approved by "special governmental.
agencies: ` Howevcr a review of applications submitted by Hoag to the City of Newport
Beach and the Coastal Commission shows no evidence thatTloag disclosed to the
government agencies in question any of the plumes emitted by the plant. When queried
about this recently by residents; Hoag replied "everyone knows that power plant emit
phtmcs!, T o date, Hoag has failed to produce any documentation deiiionstrating that it
made the disclosure's tiecassary' fcr these agencies to properly- evaluate .the environmental
impacts of the plant.
For the reasons cited above „the assertion`made by`OSS that the operational leaturcs and
impact of the plant were "clariliied''before the plant began operations is'tneorteck. In 1.
fact, Hoag communications nn;crucral issues surrounding the plant were misleading. Had
there been proper disclosure and clear'communicat on, as well as the opportunity for
public review and cormnent, the plant certainly would have Been designed in such a way
as to minimize or eliminate the most important negative impacts on the community.
OS.11IP) Process
OSHPD'is an acronym for the "Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development,'
which IS the tarn of "the California State Government responsible for reviewing the design
of hospitals and'relatW suppoit facilities. The O$S report states that; "Any physical .
modificatiior to the cogeneration plant will b'e subject to OSI -11 >D review. Modifications
to existing systcnis Will require revising the, systems to different requirements enacted'
alter the date that the, Cogeneration plant was approved by governmental agencies. In
most cases, bringing an existing system up to current codes result (sic) in significant .
adciitinnal cost that;offcrs very little in return."
This statementis concerning for seventh reasons. First, the role of OSHPD is to ensure
that hospital rat lr"ties are designed to high °standards of safety. Any additional review of
the plant by OS }1YD triggcrd by a partial retrofit would simple be to ensure that the
plant meets recent safety standards. Given its close proximity to the Sunset View Park,
to several housing developments, as well to the nearby Hoag childcare center, and eiven
Hoag's statements that fire plant will play key role in its future growth, a review of the
plant's safety.featu es would provide an additional opportunity to ensure the plant is safe
:and reliable.
Second, according to OSHPD representatives, a partial retrofit of the plant would most
likely nigger a review only of the sections of the plant affected by the modification. This'
is evaluated on a case by case basis and depends on the nature and scope of the work.
We suggest that the Citv;aud Hoag contact OSHP'D to request a definitive review of
protocols related to modifications of the kind beine contemplated for the cogeneration
plant.
Ultimately however, even if a more =extensive OSI4PD review would be triggered, this
does not render implementation of mitigation measures infeasible; which is the applicable
standard under.GEQA. Rather, itis simply part of the normal process that is, required of
all healthcare facilities in California undergoing, mudification, and would help ensure that
the plant complies with up to date sitfety standards.
Proposal t7ne:' Adding Heating Coils to the "tower Discharge c& Modification by
Marley Towers_
In this - portion of its report:OS.S discusses using beating elemcnts sitttated abovei the
coolingtawers to reduce orcliminafe';Ihe.plwnes by rulucing the forntatiait.i of
condensate. oSS, dismisses this approach,, staring that "Cooling towers are mcam to
reject heat,to the atmosphere; rnlectirig lieat into their discharge is'notlung short of air
conditioning the outdoors for visual purposes." This is &rather unscientific remark wilich
does nothing to elucidate ivIiethcrthe underlying approaoh'is likely to be off hive. In
fact, thus approach to pluine abatement was established several decades ago; and'is the
basis for 'widely iniplemenwd technology used,,in tho,coolntg towers of literally hundreds
of power and cogeneration plants arouud'. world. Adding additional heat to Cite
effluent relea, sed by the cooling towe'-silnply lessens the amount of moisture which
condenses thereby reducing the visible plume.
Marley Cooling'rowers, the company which built the cooling towers for the Hoag
cogeneration.plant offers "plume ab4t,omenC'cguipmentwhich operates on the principles
discussed above, as an offthe- shelf option for its customers. 'the reliability and efficacy
of this equipment is well established; and it is in wide use in plants located in
environmentally or aesthetically sensitive.locntions. Interestingly, such equipment was
included by, Hoag in the original bid speeifications for the plant. *3 The inclusion was
mostly Likely as the result of h ecomhnendations of the plant's designers, recognizing tiie
sensitive'location of the facility in aresidential areaand on a scenic highway, and in light
of the potential aesthetic impact of the cooling tower plumes. Unfortunately, after
Hoag e ey p from the final design of the plant, It is
receiving bitls, Hoa later removed the ui nient
our understanding that this was done to save money, despite the fact that the equipment
wasmaly a small fraction of the'cost the plant and that the plant was on or under budget.
After OSS incorrectly dismisses the technology suggested by Marley Cooling Towers,
the company which built the towers used by Hoag, it then cites certain difficulties
associated with attempting to install the technology in the cogeneration plant at this time.
It cites the need for significant structural workaround the cooling towers and equipment
installation costing approximately $2.4 million dollars. It also notes that this would
require 18 to 24 months; and could cause substantial downtime for the plant. Finally,, it
notes that the operation, of Plume abatement equipment involves some loss of operational
efficiency.
3,I-7
White the need for additional structural work and the cost estimate may or may not be
accurate, the overall argument made hero is deficient for several reasons. First; compared
to the cost of the plant (over S23 million dollars), and to the long•teml cost benefits and
cost saving the plant will provide to Hong, as well as to Hoag's massive financial
resources, the.cost of the retrofit is relatively modest. &° Secondly, itmay be possible to
nduce'downpntc -by retrofitting one cooling tower cell at a time (there ate four, total
cells). Lasdy, during the.retrofit process, system loads could be temporarily shifted to the
cooling towcmwhich exist On the upper campus to lessen the impact on operations. 'The-
feasibility of temporary load shifting is confrnned by the fact that OSS actually suggests
this technique as_nethod °for achieving plume abatement. With respect to electricity, the
hospital wouldconiinue to have power from the electrical grid, and if necessary'from its
regular, back up, generators.
'Xith respect to the impact on operational efficiency of the plant.plume abatement
equipment typically does have some�ongoing impact. However, this impact, which varies
by project, is generally moest, and'is sinnply part ofbuilding a modern cogeneration
plant in an erivir nmentaUy sensitive -area. T}iis is clearly demonstrated by the.fact that
hundreds of lame and small cooling tiower arrays in the United Slates and around the
world ate fitted' with this equipment, often as a condition:of approval by local and'state
regulatory agencies.
J.astlyt It should also be pointed out that the reason Hoag;is now facing the need to
retrofit was its -own poor planning, and its desire to. shave a few percentage points 6ff the
cost ofconstructing of the plant As noted earlier, the original specipcations for the plant
included pluirrc0atemenf`eq4ipmcnt, which wt uld have addressed this problem at
fraction of d* cost o€ a retrofit.
Proposal Two. Adding Radiant Fleat or LnjectHot Air into theToever's Discharge
As noted by OSS, this is Simply a variution of the theme discussed above of adding beat
to the discharge from the cooling toti$er. tin prevent the condensation of water into visible
clouds, ln'this''case, instead of using, equipment designed by the coblingtowcr compan}
for this purpose„ ttte heat could be created using natural gas powered heitlers. This
apptoach was suggested by both Bock .Engineering and by Newport )rnginecring
Consultants as being scientifically sound and worthy of consideration. Contrary to the
statement made ,'by ()SS that "`theories seldom, if ever, offer pragmatic soluti'ons'" all
workable solutions are based on sound theory.
OSS again cites the need for an 0SHPD review as one of the reasons that this approach
should not be attempted, although that argument is flimsy as was :discussed previously.
OSS also notes that this approach would require "utilizing energy," which presumably
refers to the need for source of natural gas to power the heating elements.. Since Hoag
is currently receiving a substantial amount of natural gas from the City of Newport Brach
at below itrarket pr•imy, it is logical to assume that this gas might be used for the heaters
without producing any additional significant cast.
'z4_' FT
'J
3.172Y

Nm,port Engineering Consultants believes that natural gas powered beaters are unlikely
to produce sufficient plume, abatement on theirovin, but might be effective as part of
combined solution using other methods discussed herein. One disadvantage to this
approach as opposed to using plume abatement equipment designed by the cooling tower
marmfacturer is that it may afliet the ten year warrartty on the current towers.
Proposal Thec n l�iodifyiag Operational Parameters aTid.Loa l Shifting Through
1n- house Modifications
In this scotion ofthe report} OSS diseugses the possibility of redtaultig the plume front the
cogeneration plant by shifting the cooing tower load to a separate set of cooling towers
located un {be upper campus. This approach reifies on the fact that, during the early
morning and evening, when the coolinglower plumes are most prominent, the need for
air coriditioning in the hospital and other.builiing's is relatively. low. Therefore, it is
argued; the.operational load could be shifted from the•lower'catnpus cooling tntivers to the
towerson the upper campus
Newport Engineering believes that this concept could help reduce the plume problem on
the lower cainpus, However, there are several critically important Limitations. First, at
best, this approach will be difficult to implement consistently, and is likely to reduce.the
plume on only: air intzrmittent,and ineonsistent'basis. Sccitad, this approaub relies on
there. being operational "slack" in the overall s}•stem serving the upper and lower.
campuses. In the near -term, the amount of slack available is likely to vary significantly
from day today, even when atmospheric conditions are favorable, 'Over the intermediate
to long-term, however, an even greater problem is that the amcunt of slack available is
certat i to decline as'Hoag.continues to grow. providing power and air conditioning for
this growth is, after all, Hoa`g's primary stated purpose for building the cogeneration
plant.
Newpprt Engineering Consultants is of the opinion that load shilling could, be coupled
with one of ttte other possible mcth ds as part ;of a combined approach. Flo wever, by-
itself, load shifting is highly unlikely to produce the consistent plume abatement
necessary to address:the needs of the community. Further, as Hoag continues to build out
its upperand lower campuses, the operational slack necessary for the viability of this
approach will prevent load, shifting from serving as a long -term solution.
Proposal Four: Blend Incoming Warm Water with Cooling Tower Basin Water,
Shown in Syska Hennessy Document (Exhibit R).
This speculative approach, suggested by 5yska Hennessy in its report, involves
attempting to cool the heated water entering.thc cooling tower to lessen the amount of
water vapor released, thereby reducing plume. Both Newport Engineering Consultants
and OSS agree -that this approach is not based on sound thermodynamic principles and is
therefore unlikely to offer a workable solution.
3.f7g
Key Issues Not Addressed by the OSS Resort
The OSS report completely faits to make any mention or Iwo critical impacts of the
cogeneration, plant beyond the cooling tower plumes: i} Exhaust stack plumes 2} Steal',
venting. These issues were raised with 14bag by local residents well over a year ago.
f°ioweyer, to date Hoag has not indicated a willingness to discuss (best., problems or
investigate possible solutions.
lxhau'stStteck.f Iumes
As noted earlier, the cogeneration plant vents exhaust gases from the plants engines via -
the st�reks on tile, roof of the plant: U,nfanuuately, the plant Was built so that the roof of
the rain facility, is nearly "flush with the tap of the bluff behind the Plant. This creates a
situation in which exhaust.pliunes from these stacks occur only 45 feet front file Sunset
V ieW Park, and only about 220 feet from nearby residences. The plumes, which consist
of co nbustion products, typically tower ten to -ficen feet above the plant; They are
extremely unsightly and onlyadd to ;the industrial appearance of the plant. *' Further,
'depending on prevailing winds; the-engine exhaust is sometimes blown into the park and .
nearby residences.
In its nitial report Newport Engineering Comsgltants suggested several ways: that I Ioag
coultl=mitigatectbese exliaustplumes; The suggested approaches, whioh atereprinted
below, are technically straightfonvard, and could be implemented at relatively low cost.
"Exhaust stacks 'from tile presently.ii1stalied' cogeneration plant engines discharge exhaust
gas plumes that.are unsightly, and which are clearly visible.fonn the Sunset View Park
and residences that sit atop the bluff. The reported temperature of the exhaust is about
400 F dcgrees, although from the appearance.of the dischargc, the temperature appears
greater`than that reported. The temperature is maintained at 400 F or above because the
water formed as a result of butning`fuel will condense at lower temperatures, Tbis
condensate is corrosive to steel.
Two alternatives are presented. One is to cool the exhaust in an inline heat exchanger
condensing the water. The second method is to introduce a counter current water spray.
In both cases; non- corroding materials will be required and the effluent will require a
discharge to sanitary. If the PH I is above the waster discharge permit, neutral izatian of
dilution may be required. Either presented. solution should allow for mitigation of the
exhaust plumes with minimal operational eFfect and at reasonable cast.
An alternate solution that might be implemented in isolation; or in combination with the
methods proposed above, would be to redirect the,current exhaust stacks so the effluent is
not visible to thosc,on the bluff above."
3. I f d
s
Steam Venting
As noted earlier, Hoag promised on three occasions,, including one in writing, that there
would. be no visible emissions from the plant. unfortunately, in addition to the cooling
tower plume and the exhaust stack plumes, steam venting from the plant is almost a doily
oceurrertce. Plumes of steam vary from relatively small clouds of one or two cubic
meters, to massive:dlouds which rise 1.0 to 15 meters above the plant and are up to 30
meters, ill length. *6' Fortunately, abatement of most of thesmaller plmnes visible on Most
days is relatively inexpensive and technically straightforward. Possible solutions to this
problem include,
1.) Moving the steam vents from the roof of the plant to another location where they
wltll not ba'ti tsible (such as near, the cooling towers).
2.), reedirig the "steam into the boiler -water inflow
Y) Using a „l}eat'source to evaporate the plulrt (this is the same principle as that
used foi abatement of cooling,tower plturies)
Other straightforward solutions mayulso be possible and should be studied by Hoag..,
Gonclusian
The cogeneration plant in its current form materially degrades the quality of life; of
visitors to tha'Sunset G'iely-Park, of nearby, residences, and of the City as a whole: The
design and -planning process forth . e plant were deeply flawed, and communication about
the plant witli the community and with governmehtal agencies was incomplete or
misleading. Ali of the impacts caused, by'visibleetnissions discussed in this report were
predietable, and also was completely avoidable with modern design practices Wr- -plants
located in environmentally sensitive locations.
Fortunately, the plant can still be retrofitted to effectively address each impact. While:
Hoag cites a range of teclutieal issues; time delays, and cost as reasons it wit] not fix, the
plant, these reasons do not stand up under close, examination. A full retrofit of the plait
is technically feasible, which is the standard applied to mitigation m ;asures under CEQA.
T1tc cost and' operational inconvenience to Float; aij, moderate in comparison vyith the
hospital's vast linancial and operational resources, and with the long -term cost savings
and other benefits that will accrue to Hoag from the plaint
