 Comments: The draft permit proposes a relaxed effluent limitation for the Total Copper parameter. NPDES Permit PA0110663 previously issued on October 22, 2004 contained an average monthly Total Copper effluent limitation of 10 µg/l. The permittee conducted a Water Effect Ratio (WER) and developed a criteria modifier of 10.6 which was approved by the DEP's Central Office. This modifier resulted in a relaxed monthly average water quality based effluent concentration of 96 µg/l. However, the actual average monthly effluent concentration of 42 µg/l was imposed so as not to exceed the existing long-term performance of the STP.

 The EPA Waiver is not in effect.

32-00055H: EME Homer City Generation, LP (1750 Power Plant Road, Homer City, PA 15748) to allow the construction and temporary operation of dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems with fabric filters, lime and byproduct material handling and storage systems, and other associated support equipment to control SO2 emissions from Unit 1 & 2 at the Homer City Generating Station located in Black Lick and Center Townships, Indiana County.

 Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-32-00055H to allow the construction and temporary operation of dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems with fabric filters, lime and byproduct material handling and storage systems, and other associated support equipment to control SO2 emissions from Unit 1 & 2 at the Homer City Generating Station located in Black Lick and Center Townships, Indiana County.

 Alstom's Novel Integrated Desulfurization (NID) systems are to be installed downstream from the existing electrostatic precipitators and upstream from the existing Unit 1 & 2 stacks. NID is expected to employ a hydrated lime and byproduct mixture injection into the flue gas stream for control of SO2 emissions. Secondary control of PM/PM10/PM2.5, VOC, mercury, lead, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen chloride, and fluorides is expected. Steam turbine efficiency upgrades are also to be performed on the Unit 1 & 2 steam turbines as a part of this installation. New air contamination sources proposed at the facility include lime unloading and handling systems, multiple lime and byproduct storage silos, and byproduct handling systems. Fugitive emissions are also expected from lime deliveries to the plant by truck (only in the event of rail unavailability), and byproduct disposal along existing plant roads and the existing on-site landfill. Best available technology (BAT) for lime unloading includes unloading to either an underground hopper within a partially enclosed building controlled by dust collector(s) or unloading by pneumatic conveyor directly to storage silos. BAT for storage silo loading is enclosed transfer to and between storage silos controlled by bin vent filters and minimization of hours of operation. BAT for the byproduct handling systems is the use of bin vent filters and byproduct wetting prior to partially enclosed transfer to dump trucks. Existing vehicle, roadway, and landfill emission reduction practices will remain in effect at the facility. These include speed restrictions, roadway sweeping, and roadway and material wetting where applicable.

 This authorization is subject to state regulations including 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1, 123.2, 123.31, and 123.41. These limitations are applicable facility-wide and already included in the Title V Operating Permit (TVOP). Air dispersion modeling will be required to be performed by the Owner/Operator prior to start-up of the NID systems in order to demonstrate that the facility will not cause an exceedance of with the SO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. SO2 emissions from Unit 1 & 2 shall be limited to 0.20 lb/MMBtu of heat input on a 30-day rolling average (excluding periods of startup and shutdown) subject to results of the required modeling. Plan approval conditions will also include rolling 12-month SO2, total PM (filterable & condensable), and filterable PM emission limits. Opacity limits; testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and work practice standards are included for the NID and material handling systems. The permitted heat input to Unit 1 & 2 may not be increased as a result of the steam turbine efficiency upgrades.

 Potential emissions from the NID system installation including all lime and byproduct handling are calculated to be 22.7 tons of particulate matter (PM), 9.6 tons of particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), and 6.0 tons of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) per year. These potential fugitive emission increases are expected to be more than offset by actual reductions of PM/PM10/PM2.5 from the Unit 1 & 2 stacks. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently submit either a revision to its pending TVOP application or a TVOP administrative amendment application in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Subchapters F and G.

 Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Plan Approval to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the following:

 Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.

 Identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-32-00055H).

 Concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.

 The Department will hold a public hearing on March 14, 2012, from 5:00-7:00 PM at Homer-Center High School, 70 Wildcat Lane, Homer City, PA 15748, to take oral testimony regarding this Air Quality Plan Approval application. Notice of this hearing is separately published within this Pennsylvania Bulletin. Written comments or should be directed to Alan Binder, Air Quality, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. For additional information you may contact Alan Binder at 412-442-4168.
