AIR QUALITY


Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen, Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Intent to Issue Modified Air Quality Operating Permit 32-00055.

32-00055: In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a preliminary determination to approve an alternative Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan and seeks an approval of an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Homer City Generation L.P., Homer City Station located in Center Township, Indiana County. And in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection intends to modify the facility's Title V Operating Permit. The facility is located at 1750 Power Plant Road, Homer City, PA 15748-8009. The facility's representative to contact concerning this application is Mr. Gary Cline, Environmental Manager. His phone number is 724-479-6255. The facility's major emission sources include three coal-fired boilers. Boiler 1 and 2, each have a rated capacity of 6,792 MMBtu/hr. Boiler 3 has a rated capacity of 7,260 MMBtu/hr. The facility also has other sources including auxiliary boilers, oil-fired space heaters, emergency engines, storage and handling systems, storage tanks, coal preparation activities, and miscellaneous plant fugitives

 The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT II approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997, 2008 and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.

 The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into a revised Operating Permit (32-00055) for the facility. The relevant RACT II requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal; this includes the provisions of the Department's presumptive RACT II requirements in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.97, as they apply to existing sources at this facility.

 The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the RACT II determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:

 • Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 for Units 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum of 0.080 lb NOx/MMBtu while Unit 3 is limited to a maximum of 0.07 lb NOx/MMBtu on a daily average basis. These limits exclude, emissions during start-up, shut-down, and malfunction; operation pursuant to emergency generation required by PJM, including any necessary testing for such emergency operations; and during periods in which compliance with this emission limit would require operation of any equipment in a manner inconsistent with technological limitations, good engineering and maintenance practices, and/or good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.

 • Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Units 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum of 0.45 lb NOx/MMBtu on a daily average basis under all operating conditions. Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Unit 3 are limited to a maximum of 0.27 lb NOx/MMBtu on a daily average basis under all operating conditions.

 • Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Units 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum 550 lbs NOx/hr on a 30-operating day rolling average basis under all operating conditions. Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Unit 3 are limited to a maximum 510 lbs NOx/hr on a 30-operating day rolling average basis under all operating conditions.

 • The owner or operator shall calibrate, operate, and maintain all elements of the SCR system and units in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, in a manner consistent with good engineering and air pollution control practices when the SCR system is in use.

 • The owner or operator shall maintain NOx controls as effective as reasonably possible during startups and shutdowns.

 • The owner or operator shall take steps to bring NOx controls back into full service as quickly as practicable whenever the control equipment experiences a malfunction.

 • The owner or operator shall document and report to the DEP, information regarding the cause of the malfunction and the steps for bringing the controls back.

 • All operators of Boilers 1—3, SCR, and LNB shall be trained in the operation and maintenance of the unit(s) they are assigned to operate by qualified personnel

 • The owner or operator shall develop, maintain, and implement an operation and maintenance plan (O&M Plan) for Boilers 1—3, Low NOx Burner (LNB) and the SCR.

 • During the first 60 days of each calendar year, the facility shall perform a catalyst activity test.

 • Within 60 days of receiving the results of the catalyst activity test, the facility shall consult with the SCR catalyst vendor to monitor SCR performance in accordance with the catalyst management plans (CMPs) developed for the SCR systems. Corrective action, if required, shall be completed by April 30th.

 • Inclusion and Revisions of 40 CFR Part 97 CSAPR Related Subparts (Subpart EEEEE is replaced with Subpart GGGGG).
