The facility generates and distributes electricity. The facility's major emission sources include Babcock & Wilcox boilers (3), electromotive diesel engines A & B, fly ash disposal, plant roadways and fly ash storage silos. The facility is a major facility due to its potential to emit of PM10, NOx, SOx and CO. Therefore, the facility is subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The facility is also subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring Rule (CAM) found in 40 CFR Part 64. Appropriate permit conditions to address the applicable CAM requirements have been included in the permit.
