Control Technology Research. MP has in the past conducted control technology research as a funding member of the Air Toxics Control Target of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). As described previously, MP also co-funded a study by the EERC on mercury mitigation technology. In the year 2000, MP has significantly increased our commitment to this type of research. MP continues to fund the Air Toxics Control and Air Toxics Health Risk targets of EPRI. In addition, MP will conduct control technology studies specifically on some of our own units. Minnesota Power will work with EPRI to assess mercury emissions from our ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ facility and conduct control technology experiments. The study will look at various control options using a slipstream of flue gas. The effort will focus on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Units 3 and 4, the two largest units. This study is to be conducted in 2000, with results expected in early 2001. A study design document will be submitted to the MPCA upon completion, which will provide more detail on the study, including QA/QC.
