REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Reasonably Available Control Technology and Emission Reduction Credits: Public Hearing
Allegheny Ludlum Corp., Washington Plant The Department reviewed the RACT plans and ERC application and made a preliminary determination to approve these plans and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above listed facilities.
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
Allegheny Ludlum Corporation (AL) chose a case-by-case approach to meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.92 for the electric arc furnaces, two annealing furnaces and the batch pickling operation. AL proposed no additional controls as they were determined to be not cost effective through a top-down analysis. AL proposes to meet the presumptive RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93 for all other sources at this facility.
AL has applied for ERCs for the reduction of 7.78 tons/year of NOx and 8.7 tons/year of VOC emissions generated through the shutdown of three electric arc furnaces at the Washington Facility as provided for in 25 Pa. Code § 127.207(5)(I).
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the RACT plan and ERC approval. The hearing date is March 18 for Allegheny Ludlum at the Department of Environmental Protection Waterfront Conference Room, 500 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh. Deadline to register to speak is March 11.
A 30-day comment period from the date of publication will exist for the submission of written comments.
Public Hearing; Preliminary Determination to Approve Air Quality Applications to Modify Power Boiler No. 5 (PB #5) and Recovery Boiler No. 3 (RB #3) Permits, Approve a Revised Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan which relies on the New Source Review (NSR) Exclusion Policy and Propose a Revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a modification plan, no. 67-306-006B, submitted as part of the regulatory requirements for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review, for the PSD repermitting of PB #5 at P. H. Glatfelter Company (Glatfelter) located in Spring Grove Borough, York County. The modification involves lowering SO2 and PM10 emission limits on PB #5, rerouting of low volume, high concentration Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) to PB #5 for incineration and removal of PB #3 stand-by status emission credit.
The plan approval would be subjected to the following additional condition:
1. The allowable emission rate for the CFB boiler is established as follows:
a. Particulate Matter Emissions--0.03 lb/mmBTU of heat input.
b. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2--0.37 lb/mmBTU of heat input (30-day running average), 0.40 lb/mmBTU of heat input (daily average not to be exceeded more than 2 days in any running 30-day period), 0.48 lb/mmBTU of heat input (daily average maximum not to be exceeded at any time) and 90% emission reduction (30-day rolling average).
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the Department's analysis of it, the following is a prediction of emissions based on a 545 mmBTU/hr maximum capacity rating for Power Boiler No. 5:
Pollutant Emissions in lbs.hr Emissions in tpy PM10 16.4 71.6 SO2 261.6 883.2 NOx 212.6 930.97 VOC 4.4 19.4 CO 41.4 181.3 Lead 0.05017 0.21976 Beryllium 0.000032 0.03051 Fluoride 0.34 1.5 Furthermore, the boiler will consume 16.7% of the available 3-hour PSD increment, 19.2% of the available 24-hour PSD increment and 6.5% of the annual increment for SO2 emissions.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve a modification plan, no. 67-315-008, for the repermitting of RB #3. The modification involves lowering emission limits on RB #3 and removal of PB #3 stand-by status emission credit.
The operating permit would be subjected to the following additional condition:
1. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2--shall not exceed 145 ppmv (at 8% O2, dry basis) and 221 lbs/hr on a daily average as measured by a certified continuous emissions monitor.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve a revised RACT Plan no. 67-2004A and proposes to revise the SIP for the pulp and paper mill. The modification involves a revised pulp mill VOC RACT plan utilizing PB #3 as the control device for high volume, low concentration NCGs, PB #3 Low NOx burner installation and the removal of annual heat input restrictions on PB #3.
Use of PB #3 as a VOC control device will create potential annual SO2 emissions above the PSD defined significant emission rate level. In order to exclude PB #3 from NSR, the EPA's interim guidance on pollution control projects has been applied to this case. Following this guidance, the proposed project satisfies the two criteria necessary to qualify for exemption under the EPA's NSR exclusion policy. First, the project is ''environmentally beneficial'' as defined by the EPA's interim guidance. Second, the project does not cause or contribute to a violation of a National ambient air quality standard, PSD increment, or adversely affect visibility or other air quality related value.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Plan approval 67-2004A for the existing pulp and paper mill operations to comply with current regulations. The preliminary RACT determination, when finally approved, will be incorporated into a Plan Approval/Operating Permit for the facility and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) RACT determination for this facility:
NOx Source Control Method No. 1 Power Boiler Low NOx burners with Separate Overfire Air No. 3 Power Boiler Low NOx burners with Separate Overfire Air No. 4 Power Boiler Low NOx burners with Separate Overfire Air No. 5 Power Boiler Combustion Control No. 3 Recovery Boiler Combustion Control Lime Calciner Combustion Control VOC Source Control Method Kamyr Blow Tank Incineration in Power Boiler No. 3 No. 1 and No. 2 Pine Brown Stock Washers No. 1 and No. 2 Pine Filtrate Tanks Kamyr Chip Bin Presteaming Vent Kamyr Low Pressure Feeder Oxygen Delignification Area Vent East and West Weak Black Liquor Tank Softwood Bleach Plant None Hardwood Bleach Plant None Hardwood Fiber Line None Causticizing Area None Wastewater Treatment Plant None Kamyr Digester Incineration in No. 5 Power Boiler with Power Boiler No. 1 and 4 as backup
VOC RACT for the boilers and calciner is operation and maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
