NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPROVE
Plan Approval At a Title V Facility #04-446C Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(a)(4), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Plan Approval to AES Beaver Valley Partners, Inc. for the installation of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler at the plant located in Monaca, PA as described in its application received in October 2000.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and on DEP's analysis of that information, these installations will result in emission reductions of approximately 2,658 tons of SO2, 3,848 tons of NOx, 1,309 tons of CO and 67 tons of particulate matter each year.
In order for DEP to assure compliance with all applicable standards, DEP proposes to place the following conditions on the Plan Approval:
