RECOMMENDATION
NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
("Illinois EPA"), through its attorneys, and pursuant to 35 III . Adm. Code 125.204 of the
ILLINOIS POLUTION CONTROL BOARD'S ("Board") procedural regulations, files
the Illinois EPA's Recommendation in the above-referenced request for tax certification
of pollution control facilities. In support thereof, the Illinois EPA states as follows
:
On December 30, 2004, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting
information from MARATHON ASHLAND PETROLEUM, LLC, ("Marathon")
concerning the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or
equipment located at its Robinson refinery in Crawford County, Illinois . The application
request identified the nature of the subject operations as the Wastewater Treatment Plant
and Benzene NESHAPs Air Controls. A copy of the relevant portions of the application
is attached hereto . Exhibit A]
.
2 .
On April 7, 2005, the Illinois EPA received a separate request and
supporting application that identified the nature of the subject operations as the
"W WTP." A copy of the relevant portions of the application is attached hereto . [Exhibit
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 22, 2005

BI. The cover letter contended that the original application had been submitted earlier
with other applications and that the attached inlbnnation was a resubmission . The letter
suggested that the company believed that the original application had been lost or
overlooked, as the other applications to which it was purportedly attached had previously
been granted certification by the Board in January 2005
.
3 .
A review of both applications reveals that the applicant is essentially
seeking relief for one overall project. Both applications generally describe the same
Wastewater Treatment Plan operations and the plant upgrades are described similarly
.
While the accounting data is different, it is assumed that the later submission reflected
more up-to-date cost information. In light of this information, as well as the explanation
offered in the later application's cover letter, the Illinois EPA treated the applications as
one
.
4
.
The applicant's address is as follows
:
Marathon Ashland Petroleum,
LLC
Refinery Office Building
Robinson, Illinois 62454
5
.
The pollution control facilities involved in this request are located at the
aforementioned address and consist of modifications to the existing oily sewer system
.
The project, previously described as the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Benzene
NESHAP Air Controls, affects various controls on approximately 1,140 oily sewer
components
(i .e ., catch basins, manholes, hub drains) throughout the refinery . The
purpose of the modifications is to reduce volatile organic material and/or benzene
emissions that might otherwise escape the wastewater treatment system through vapor
loss. The Wastewater Treatment Plant is not itself a pollution control device for
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 22, 2005
*****PCB2006-110*****
purposes of reducing air emissions, however . a component of the overall process involves
a reduction in emissions of air contaminants . The equipment identified in the application
that reduce air emissions in this regard are the oily water sewer vapor controls, vapor
controls at the wastewater treatment plant and vapor controls for the slop oil tankage
.
6
.
Section 1 I-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities" as
:
"any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto, or any portion of any building or equipment. that is designed
.
constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of: (a)
eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution
.
. . or (b)
treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment, pretreatment,
modification or disposal might be harmful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or animal life, or to property ."
7
.
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2002)
.
8
.
Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Benzene NESHAP Air Controls to prevent, eliminate or
reduce air pollution, it is the Illinois EPA's engineering judgment that the afore-
mentioned components of the described project and/or equipment may be considered as
"pollution control facilities" in accordance with the statutory definition and consistent
with the Board's regulations at 35 III. Adm. Code 125.200. Exhibit C/ .
9 .
The Illinois EPA notes that it is unclear from the application as to whether
the cost estimates are representative of only those Wastewater Treatment Plant and
Benzene NESHAP-related upgrades that relate to the reduction of air contaminants or,
alternatively, the total costs of the project, including those that are unrelated to vapor
controls upgrades
(i.e ., lift station, effluent sump, etc). For purposes of this Tax
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 22, 2005
*****PCB2006-110*****
Certification, preferential tax treatment should only be afforded tot he costs of the vapor-
related pollution control equipment
.
10 .
Because the aforementioned components of the Wastewater Treatment
Plant and Benzene NESt1APs Air Controls satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Illinois
EPA recommends that the Board grant the applicant's requested tax certification
consistent with the conditions expressed herein
.
Respectfully submitted by,
ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY

Section C
Describe Unit Process :
The wastewater treatment plant (W WTP) is responsible for treating process wastewater
and storm water runoff prior to discharge through an NPDES permitted outfall . There are
two main routes for water to enter the WWTP . The first is through the oily sewer system,
the second is through the stormwater collection system .
The oily sewer system collects the water from process units and tankfarm water draws
.
This water enters the W WTP at the Diversion Box along with stripped sour water. The
flow then enters the Main Lift Station where it is pumped to two parallel API traps (oil
water separators). While in the API traps, oil in the water floats to the top and is removed
by skimmers. Solids in the water sink to the bottom and are pumped to' solids handling,
The water next flows to the Flocculation section of the two parallel DNF tanks, where
chemicals are added that help remove additional oil and solids by causing the oil and
solids to form larger particles. The water flows into the main section of the DNFs, where
fine nitrogen bubbles are injected that help the oil and particles float to the top of the tank
while heavier solids sink to the bottom . Both the oil and solids are removed, oils
recovered and reprocessed, and the final solids properly disposed offsite .
From the DNFs, the water flows into tank 125, which is an aboveground sump that
allows pumps to transfer the water to the Equalization Tank . On the way to the
Equalization Tank, ammonia and phosphoric acid are added as nutrients as needed
.
The other route for water to enter the W WTP is through the stormwater collection
system. Water from the Boilerhouse, refinery storm sewer system and part of the
tankfarm is collected in the stormwater sump, which pumps the water to the stormwater
tanks 79D-74A, B and C. From stormwater tanks, the water is pumped into the
Equalization Tank at a measured rate
.
In the Equalization Tank, the water from the API traps and the stormwater tanks
combine. The purpose of the Equalization Tank is to provide a large water volume which
dampens the swings in the pollutant load to the aeration tanks .
Upon leaving the Equalization Tank, the flow goes to the Aeration tanks (79D-64A and
B). The Aeration tanks may be operated in parallel or in series flow. In the Aeration
tanks, the water is mixed with air and bacteria that biologically break down the oil and
other wastes in the water .
The water then flows to the Final Clarifier, where the solids settle to the bottom . The
solids are either pumped back to the aeration tanks to maintain the population of bacteria
in the system or removed from the system maintaining the proper concentration. The
water is pumped from the clarifier to sand filters, where any additional solids are
removed. Finally, the water enters the Effluent Box where it leaves the refinery and is
discharged to Robinson creek

Pollution Control Facility Description
Oily Water Sewer Vapor Controls: Controls were installed on approximately 1140 oily
water sewer components (catch basins, manholes, hub drains, etc.) throughout the
Refinery. Components were sealed or fitted with p-trap inserts to prevent vapors from
escaping to the atmosphere. The sewer system venting was changed to route vapors from
the sewer to carbon canister systems via vent header piping .
Vapor Control at Waste Water Treatment Plant : Covers were installed on all waste water
treatment plant equipment and vapors were routed to a vapor destruction device
.
Vapor Control Slop Oil Tankage: Controls were installed on Refinery slop oil tanks. Six
tanks were sealed and blanketed with nitrogen . Vapors are routed to the combustor flare
.
The Waste Water Treatment Plant upgrade project included the following items
:
-
Main lift station & main lift pumps
Two API separator trains
Two DNF Units
Two API slop/skim oil collection tanks
Two solids storage tanks for API and DNF solids
Two DNF float tanks
Chemical addition systems for caustic, phosphoric and sulfuric acid, aqueous
ammonia, polymer, and coagulant
DNF effluent sump
Area facilities which include secondary containment for the site, fire protection,
utility and sewer systems and area lighting
.
Installation of a floating roof of the Equalization Tank (79D-63) .

Section C
Describe Unit Process :
The new covered waste water treating plant is located a block east and north of the Crude
Unit . The treatment plant is covered to prevent hydrocarbon vapors out of the air . The
lighter than water materials are skimmed from the top and the heavier than water
materials are pumped off the bottom in the API Traps. In the DNFs the suspended
particles are formed together chemically and floated to the top as floc where they are
skimmed. The skimmed waste is then treated and taken off site
.
Oily wastewater from refinery processes is directed to the Main Lift Station . Storm water
can also be directed to the Main Lift Station in the event of an overflow of storm water
facilities or should it need to be processed in the primary wastewater treatment facilities
.
From the Main Lift Station, oily wastewater/storm water is pumped to the inlet of two
parallel API Separators, which are covered, nitrogen-blanketed, and vented to the 84F-7
Flare. Oil is skimmed off the top of the API Separators and sent to a series of slop oil
tanks; recovered slop oil is returned to refinery processes . Solids from the bottom of the
API Separators are pumped to storage tanks
.
After the API Separators, wastewater is directed to two parallel Dissolved Nitrogen
Floatation (DNF) units, which are also covered, nitrogen-blanketed and vented to the
84F-7 Flare. DNF solids and DNF float are pumped to the storage tanks. From the DNF
units, waste water is pumped to the DNF Effluent Tank, 79D-125, and then to Tank 79D-
63, which serves as an equalization tank for the secondary treatment facilities . Secondary
treatment includes two activated sludge tanks for biological treatment, clarification, and
filtering .
API or DNF solids can be further processed to recover oil . The solids are sent through a
centrifuge, where oil is recovered, and then through a low temperature thermal desorption
unit to reduce the sludge volume
.
New construction to WWTP process included :
1. New main lift station with secondary containment and cover with vapor control to
pump the refinery wastewater from the existing Diversion Box/Splitter Box to the
two new trains of API Oil/Water Separator and Dissolved Nitrogen Flotation
(DNF) .
2. New above ground parallel API separator trains with provisions for vapor
collection. The effluent from the main lift station is diverted to the new API
units .
3. Two new larger above ground parallel DNF units with provisions for vapor
collection. The effluent from the new API separator is sent to the new DNF units
.
4. Dedicated slop oil collection tanks for each API. The slop oil will be pumped
from these tanks to the existing slop oil collection tanks .
5. Two solids storage tanks for the API and/or DNF solids
.
6. Two DNF Float storage tanks .
7. Pumps and piping for wastewater, slop oil, and solids transfer
.

Date :
September 20, 2005
To :
Robb Layman
From :
Don Sutton
.)
Subject :
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-12G & TC-05-04-07
This Agency received a request on December 30, 2004 from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC for an
Illinois EPA recommendation regarding tax certification of air pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 III
.
Adm. Code 125.204. I offer the following recommendation
.
The air pollution control facilities in this request include the following
:
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Benzene Neshap's Air Controls whose
primary purpose is to reduce vapor emissions from the oily sewer system . The units that
reduce vapor emissions are the Oily Water Sewer Vapor Controls, Vapor Control at
wastewater treatment plant, and Vapor Control Slop Oil Tankage . Because the primary
purpose of these units are to reduce or eliminate air pollution, it is certified as a pollution
control facility
.
This facility is located at 100 Marathon Avenue, Robinson
The property identification number is Part of 51-34-1-21
Based on the information included in this submittal, it is my engineering Judgement that
the proposed facility may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC
125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing air pollution,
or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax certification from
the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board
issue the requested tax Certification for this facility
.
