Interstate Pollution Transport Reduction; Final 2012 Ozone Season Nitrogen Oxide Emission Limits for Nonelectric Generating Units
[42 Pa.B. 2345]
[Saturday, April 28, 2012]The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice of the final Nonelectric Generating Unit (non-EGU) 2012 Ozone Season Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emission limitations established in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 145.8(d) (relating to transition to CAIR NOx trading programs).
Notice of a 15-day public comment period on the proposed limits was published at 42 Pa.B. 1324 (March 10, 2012). The public comment period offered the public an opportunity to review the information and data as a way to ensure the information was correct. No comments were received. In this final notice, the Department has added to Table I the retired and exempt units, for clarity and a Martins Creek unit with a 0 tpy limit that was inadvertently omitted from the proposal. No other changes to Table I were made.
In this notice, the NOx emissions cap provides 181 tons of NOx emissions for non-EGUs and the other units that need to address their emissions through accounting adjustments, including units that previously participated in the NOx Budget Trading Program; emissions from these units were below the 25-ton exemption threshold. Adjustments were also made for the permanent retirement of NOx allowances due to generation of emission reduction credits. The Department will also use a portion of the 181 tons of the budgeted NOx emissions, if necessary, to address mistakes or miscalculations. This year, the Department is using 121 tons of the 181 tons of NOx for account adjustments, leaving 60 tons available for any additional adjustments at the end of the control period.
The Department made accounting adjustments for the following facilities:
Retired Units: Naval Surface Warfare Division Unit 98; Shenango Units: Nos. 6 and 9 (the generation of emission offsets for small non-NOx Budget Trading Program units resulted in a permanent NOx accounting adjustment of 45 tons).
Exempt Units: Each of the following units has a 25-ton NOx permit limit: Armagh Compressor Station (Unit 31301); Entriken Compressor Station (Unit 31601); and the Naval Surface Warfare Division (Unit 100). The Naval Surface Warfare Division (Unit 99) has a 1-ton NOx permit limit. All of these 25-ton exempt status units account for a total adjustment of 76 tons of NOx emissions.
Units subject to the requirements in 25 Pa. Code § 145.8 are required to meet the monitoring and reporting requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's CAIR, found in 40 CFR Part 96, Subpart HHHH (relating to monitoring and reporting) and maintain general accounts and account representatives under 40 CFR Part 96, Subparts BBBB and FFFF (relating to CAIR designated representative for CAIR NOx ozone season sources; and CAIR NOx ozone season allowance tracking system). ''Table 1: Final Non-EGU 2012 Ozone Season NOx Emission Limits,'' as follows lists the following: the Facility Name, ORIS Code, the Unit ID for each non-EGU unit, the operating year, the NOx rate, NOx mass in tons, the heat input for the 2011 Ozone Season, the calculated 2012 rate and the 2012 Ozone Season Limit.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 (relating to Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (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 pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Randy Bordner at (717) 772-3921. TDD users may contact the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the department can best accommodate their needs.
