[35 Pa.B. 5016]
[Continued from previous Web Page] 47-00001B: PPL Montour LLC (P. O. Box 128, Washingtonville, PA 17884) for the installation of flue gas desulfurization systems on two bituminous coal-fired electric utility boilers (Units 1 and 2) and the construction of two 500 horsepower diesel-fired engines at the Montour Steam Electric Station in Derry Township, Montour County.
A Title V operating permit (No. 47-00001) has been issued for this facility.
The proposed flue gas desulfurization systems will have the ability to remove 70% to 97% of the SOx generated by the respective boilers, depending upon boiler load. This will not however necessarily result in a 70% to 97% reduction in the current level of SOx emissions from the respective boilers (126,978.1 tons in 2004 for both boilers combined) due to the fact that the existence of the flue gas desulfurization systems will allow the use of higher sulfur coal in the boilers than can currently be used.
No change is expected in the emission rate of any other air contaminant from the boilers as a result of the flue gas desulfurization system installations.
PPL Montour LLC will also be constructing a new exhaust stack for the boilers, the exit of which will be no less than 540 feet above grade.
The air contaminant emissions from the proposed 500 horsepower diesel-fired engines are not expected to exceed 3.8 tons of NOx, 1.1 tons of CO, .56 ton of total hydrocarbons, .42 ton of SOx and .22 ton of particulate matter, including PM10 per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by PPL Montour LLC indicates that the boilers should comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the proposed flue gas desulfurization systems. Likewise, the Department has determined that the proposed diesel-fired engines should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the flue gas desulfurization systems on the respective boilers as well as for the construction of the proposed diesel-fired engines. Additionally, if the boilers and flue gas desulfurization systems are subsequently determined by the Department to be operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements following flue gas desulfurization system installation and if the diesel-fired engines are also subsequently determined by the Department to be operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements following their construction, the conditions of the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 47-00001 by means of administrative amendment in accordance with the requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements.
1. The emission of SOx (expressed as sulfur dioxide) from Unit 1 shall not exceed .85 pound per million Btu of heat input (3-hour block average) once a flue gas desulfurization system has been installed on Unit 1.
2. The emission of SOx (expressed as SO2) from Unit 2 shall not exceed .85 pound per million Btu of heat input (3-hour block average) once a flue gas desulfurization system has been installed on Unit 2.
3. Following the installation of a flue gas desulfurization system on Unit 1 or Unit 2, the respective boiler shall exhaust to the atmosphere at a height of no less than 540 feet above grade. Additionally, the inside diameter of the flue for each of these two units shall be no greater than 30.68 feet at the point of exhaust.
4. The permittee shall install, certify, maintain and operate continuous monitoring systems for NOx emissions (expressed as NO2) and sulfur oxides emissions (expressed as SO2) and volumetric flow on the exhaust of Unit 1 and on the exhaust of Unit 2 in accordance with all applicable requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 and the Department's ''Continuous Source Monitoring Manual.''
5. The continuous emission monitoring and flow monitoring systems associated with each of the two units (Units 1 and 2) shall be installed and capable of operation before startup of the flue gas desulfurization system on the respective unit and before the respective unit is exhausted to the atmosphere through its new stack. No new continuous emission monitoring system or flow monitoring system may however be installed unless Phase I approval has first been obtained from the Department.
6. The permittee shall submit a Phase I application to the Department for all new continuous emission and flow monitoring systems to be associated with each of the two units (Unit 1 and Unit 2) at least 6 months before the startup of the flue gas desulfurization system on the respective unit.
7. The NOx and SOx emission monitoring systems shall be capable of monitoring the NOx and SOx emission rates expressed in pounds per million btu of heat input as well as in pounds per hour. They shall also be capable of monitoring the total emission of the respective air contaminant from the respective unit in any 12-consecutive month period (expressed in tons per year).
8. Neither Unit 1 nor Unit 2 shall be exhausted to the new stack for any reason unless the NOx and SOx continuous emission monitoring systems and flow monitoring system associated with the respective unit has received Phase I approval from the Department and has subsequently been installed and made operational in accordance with the conditions of this plan approval. Furthermore, the continuous emission monitoring systems and flow monitoring system associated with each unit shall be operated in accordance with all applicable requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139, as well as with all the applicable requirements specified in the Department's ''Continuous Source Monitoring Manual,'' any time the respective unit is operating.
9. Relative accuracy testing shall be completed on the continuous emission monitoring systems and flow monitoring system associated with a unit, and the respective monitoring systems shall be fully certified, in accordance with all applicable requirements specified in the Department's ''Continuous Source Monitoring Manual'' within 180 days of startup of the flue gas desulfurization system on the respective unit.
10. The air contaminant emissions from each of the diesel-fired engines shall not exceed 6.9 grams of NOx (expressed as NO2) per brake horsepower-hour and 1.9 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, 2.0 grams of CO per brake horsepower-hour and .55 ton in any 12-consecutive month period, 1.0 gram of total hydrocarbons per brake horsepower-hour and .28 ton in any 12-consecutive month period, and .4 gram of particulate matter, including PM10 per brake horsepower-hour and .11 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.
11. Each diesel-fired engine shall not be operated more than 500 hours in any 12-consecutive month period.
12. The diesel engines shall only be fired on virgin diesel fuel or No. 2 fuel oil to which no reclaimed or reprocessed oil or other waste materials have been added. Additionally, the sulfur content shall not, at any time, exceed .2% (by weight).
13. The permittee shall maintain comprehensive and accurate records of the number of hours that each diesel-fired engine operates each month as well as the amount and type of fuel used in each diesel-fired engine each month.
14. Within 15 days of the selection of specific diesel-fired engines to be constructed at this site, the permittee shall submit specifications for the engines to the Department as well as vendor-supplied, unit-specific air contaminant emission data for the engines.

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
