STATEMENT OF WORK

Title: USDA Air Quality Permits Completion or Exemptions - Large and Small Mobile Incinerators/Crematorium Units – 50 U.S. States & U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico

1.0 SCOPE

Under emergency response responsibilities, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS) has an immediate need for a review of Air Quality Permitting Requirements and obtainment of such permits, as required, within all 50 U.S. States and the U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico. The USDA APHIS requires to deploy mobile incinerators/cremation units (a.k.a., crematorium or crematory units or crematories) in response to a national animal health disease emergency and must have in place the necessary permits (or exemptions) in each State and Puerto Rico to expeditiously contain such diseases.

The goal is to determine any potential regulatory exemptions, permitting or other related requirements and obtain the necessary permits. Note, the final designation of the units as incinerators or cremation units should be determined as that designation providing the most advantage to the USDA APHIS.

2.0 DEFINITIONS

Emergency Use - the ability to mobilize and use mobile incineration/cremation units within 24 hours of notification.

Operation and maintenance - performing necessary functional, operational and performance techniques, tactics, and measurements to ensure units are capable of functioning as intended at a moment’s notice for catastrophic emergencies only.

3.0 BACKGROUND

The USDA APHIS (lead) and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are working on a National Emergency Management Plan and related response measures required to thwart the potential spread of zoonotic and non-zoonotic animal diseases - within the continental United States and its territories. One such example is the African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) that is a highly contagious, deadly viral disease affecting both domestic and feral swine of all ages, most recently detected in the Caribbean Region, most specifically, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Currently, the only and most effective method to stop the spread of the disease is to remove all infected or exposed swine herds within the affected area which could threaten the

Statement of Work Page 2 of 8 3/21/2025 swine industry if not managed expeditiously. It is imperative that a Continuity of Operations Emergency Preparedness Plan be developed that includes effective animal carcass disposal methods. Given the limited resources in the Caribbean Region, incineration of carcasses as an effective and expeditious disposal method is critical.

The Clean Air Act (CAA (42 U.S.C. §7401 et seq.) is the comprehensive federal law that regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), alongside federal, state, local, and tribal regulatory partners, monitor and ensure compliance with the CAA and other related regulations in order to protect human health and the environment. The EPA establishes minimum air quality national standards. The CAA is primarily implemented by states, local and tribal authorities which are delegated regulatory authority. Additionally, each state has or may have a site implementation plan (SIP) that includes a facility permitting program that provides specific permitting and emission requirements amongst other parameters.

The USDA APHIS is procuring mobile incinerators/crematories to be used when a diseased animal emergency occurs. The incinerator units will be one of two sizes, referred to as large and small units, and will be stored in various locations in the continental United States. As of February 2024, 26 total units are being procured: 20 large units and 4 small units. Reference material providing the units’ manufacturer specifications and operations is included in Appendix A. To deploy these units in an emergency response, the regulatory framework must be clearly defined and understood. The deliverables from this contract will serve that purpose by identifying the regulatory framework and specific requirements - including existing regulatory exemptions, permitting, notification and other requirements.

4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Emissions testing will be conducted in approximately May 2024, IAW 40 CFR Part 60. Results of the testing will be provided to the contractor for necessary permits, exemptions, training and or other regulatory response to ensure emergency use of the mobile units. The following sections define the specific regulatory review services required. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for performing the services specified. Work may be conducted at multiple sites and various locations within the United States or its territories and/or involve research and interaction with state and federal regulatory agencies across the U.S. A comprehensive summary of air quality regulatory requires as they pertain to the deployment and operations of the USDA owned mobile incineration/cremation units will be required. All permitting, recordkeeping and emissions testing requirements should be identified in order to (IOT) effectively respond to a real-world animal disease incident within the fifty (50) U.S. States and its territories. The 50 States and U.S. Territories of interest are grouped as follows:

Group 1 – High Priority Eleven (11) U.S. States and One (1) U.S. Territory

The whole of the machine is controlled and sequenced by the main control panel. This is provided with a combination of hard-wired safety circuits, hard wired interface circuits and a PLC system that is programmed to control the plant operation through the four distinct cycles, the Preheat Cycle, the low burn period, high burn period and the Cooldown Cycle. During the operation of each of the incineration cycles the PLC will sequentially energise and de-energise various sub-circuits for the control, monitoring and general operation of the component parts of the complete system. The function of each incineration cycle is described as follows:

Preheat Cycle This cycle is used to raise the temperature of the secondary combustion chambers to 850C in preparation of the waste burning period. The cycle duration is variable depending on the residual temperature of the combustion chambers. Secondary chamber burners maintain the minimum >850C temperature @ 2 sec residence time to start treating the emissions generated during the burn cycle.

Low burn period During the low burn period the temperature setpoints are set a lower temperature for all the burners during which all the high calorific waste are combusted. The cycle duration is determined by the operator depending upon the quantities of available wastes. All through the low burn period the secondary chamber maintains the minimum required temperature for the treatment of the emissions from the waste incineration process.

High burn period During the high burn period the temperature setpoints are set a higher temperature for all the burners during which the thorough destruction of all remaining wastes held within the primary combustion chamber. All through the high burn period secondary chamber maintains the minimum required temperature for the treatment of the emissions from the waste incineration process.

Cooldown Cycle This cycle is used to allow the cooling of the respective combustion chambers and to bring the whole plant to a controlled stop.
