Assuming the TCEQ would use a contractor to conduct the pilot test for NOx control technology and SCR technology and that a cement kiln owner would volunteer to participate in the pilot test, it is estimated that the study costs would total $1.0 million and be spread out over a two-year period-- $750,000 in fiscal year 2010 and $250,000 in fiscal year 2011--and be paid out of the General Revenue-Dedicated Clean Air Account No. 151. The actual cost would depend on the length of data collection and the complexity of the SCR design installation. This estimate assumes that the TCEQ would use existing resources to oversee contract performance and produce a report on the pilot test.
