PUBLIC HEARINGS
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, Ronald Davis, New Source Review Chief, (717) 705-4702.
67-05083: Conectiv Mid-Merit LLC (P. O. Box 6066, 92 DC 72, Newark, DE 19714-6066) for construction of a combined cycle electric generating facility. The facility is in Peach Bottom Township, York County, off Atom Road along Pikes Peak Road, approximately 1 mile northeast of the Borough of Delta.
The proposed facility will have an overall nominal maximum generation capacity of 1,100 megawatts of electricity for sale. The primary fuel will be natural gas. Liquid distillate fuel (low sulfur light petroleum product or LSPP) will be used on a limited basis. The major components of the facility will include:
(a) Six nominal 100-megawatt Siemens Westinghouse V84.2 combustion turbines.
(b) Six selective catalytic reduction systems for NOx control.
(c) Six unfired heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs).
(d) Two nominal 150 MW steam turbines for a three-on-one configuration.
(e) Two 4 million gallon fuel oil tanks.
(f) Two mechanical draft cooling towers.
(g) Each turbine has a 135 ft. simple cycle stack and a 188 ft. combined cycle stack.
(h) Two 12,000-gallon (49,000 lb.) anhydrous ammonia tanks.
A modeling analysis was conducted for CO, NOx, SO2 and PM10. The modeling used five years of meterological data collected at the Peach Bottom nuclear facility and the New Castle County Airport in Wilmington, DE and the Environmental Protection Agency's approved AERMOD and CALPUFF models. The modeling indicated that none of the emissions from the turbines will have a significant impact on the surrounding area. Additional analyses were performed to assess the proposed facility's impact on soils, vegetation, and visibility in the area and the closest Class I area. The predicted impacts from all modeled pollutants fell within the allowable concentration levels as long as fuel oil firing is limited. A plan approval condition has been included to limit fuel oil firing to prevent visibility impacts at Class I areas.
Conectiv's emissions, along with additional background sources will consume the following portion of the available Prevention of Significant Deterioration air quality increments:

2 Includes 0.8 tpy from the liquid distillate fuel oil storage tanks, and 1.0 tpy form miscellaneous sources such as the pipeline gas condensate tank. The Plan approval will contain the following conditions to ensure compliance with the noted regulations:

The respective facility incorporates two heated paint dip tanks, a paint spray operation, various welding operations, 19 natural gas-fired heaters, furnaces, and the like, a solvent parts washer and a propane-fired emergency generator. The air contaminant emissions from this facility are not expected to exceed 32.05 tons of VOCs, 13.44 tons of hazardous air pollutants (of which no single hazardous air pollutant will total 10 or more tons per year), 4.51 tons of NOx, 3.18 tons of CO, 4.74 tons of particulate matter, all of which may be PM10 and .03 ton of SOx per year.
The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant but, due to the theoretical potential to emit both VOCs and hazardous air pollutants at levels which would qualify the facility as such, Milton Steel, Inc. has elected to restrict their ability to emit VOCs and hazardous air pollutants such that they will be a ''synthetic minor'' facility with respect to the Title V permitting requirements.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance will all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants as well as conditions previously established in Operating Permit 49-318-034. These previously-established conditions include conditions requiring both dip tanks to be operated indoors, to be equipped with lids that remain closed except when a tank is in actual use or during tank cleaning, to clean the coating circulation systems associated with the dip tanks by flushing solvent through the entire system and reclaiming as much of the solvent in liquid form as is practicable and to clean the dip tanks by draining as much coating mixture from the tanks as is practicable then allowing the remaining coating mixture to dry and physically removing the dried residue, a condition limiting the VOC content of the coating used in the ''blue tank'' to 3.3 pounds of VOCs per gallon of coating mixture averaged over each calendar month period taking into account all materials added to the tank during each respective month, a condition limiting the VOC content of the coating used in the ''orange tank'' to 3.1 pounds of VOC per gallon of coating mixture averaged over each calendar month taking into account all materials added to the tank during each respective month, a condition limiting the combined VOC emissions from the dip tanks to 30 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the combined hazardous air pollutant emissions to 12 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, a condition prohibiting the use of coatings, coating additives and cleaning solvents which contain methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, perchloroethylene or formaldehyde and a condition requiring all volatile organic compound-containing materials to be stored in closed containers when not in actual use.
The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued a condition limiting the total combined facility-wide emission of VOCs to less than 50 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and a condition limiting the total combined facility-wide emission of any single hazardous air pollutant to less than 10 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the total combined facility-wide emission of all hazardous air pollutants combined to less than 25 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
The Department also intends to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued appropriate recordkeeping and reporting requirements intended to help monitor compliance with the permit conditions described above as well as with applicable regulatory requirements.
