Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen; Notice of Public Hearing for an Amendment of May 16, 1995, Operating Permit for Three Turbines.
Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plans for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (TGP), Station 321, Clifford Township, Susquehanna County.
Currect RACT operating permit (58-0001) was issued on May 16, 1995, to incorporate NOx RACT requirements for three Solar Centaur recuperative turbines. The operating permit required each turbine to comply with 50 ppmdv NOx emission rate corrected at 15% oxygen using Dry Low NOx Combustor (DLNC) technology.
Due to repeated mechanical failure of the experimental DLNC technology, on August 11, 1998, TGP requested the Department's approval to replace the DLNC with standard combustors for each of three turbines and the NOx emission limits in the existing RACT operating permit be revised from 50 ppmdv to 140 ppmdv corrected at 50% oxygen.
The Department proposes to approve replacement of DLNCs with standard combustors for each of three turbines and revise the emissions limits for nitrogen oxides from 50 ppmdv to 140 ppmdv corrected at 15% oxygen for each turbine.
The proposed amendment to RACT operating permit would exempt these three turbines from NOx RACT limit during start-ups and shutdowns. However, each start-up and shutdown must not last more than an hour.
If approved, the amended Plan Approval will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed revision/amendment. The hearing will be held on April 7, 1999, at 10 a.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast Regional Office, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Mark Carmon, Community Relations Coordinator, at (570) 826-2531 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes and two written copies of the oral testimony. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
