41-00084A: Moxie Patriot, LLC (612 Center Street South, Suite 200, Vienna, VA 22180) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for plan approval to construct a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant to produce 944 MW or less of electricity in Clinton Township, Lycoming County. The project consists of two identical 1 x 1 power blocks, and each block includes a combustion gas turbine and a steam turbine. Each combined-cycle process involves the combustion turbine and a heat recovery steam generator with duct burner firing capabilities. Additionally, one diesel-fired emergency generator, one diesel-fired fire water-pump, two diesel-fuel storage tanks, two lube oil storage tanks, and one aqueous ammonia storage tank were proposed to be constructed and operated. Each combined-cycle process will be rated at 472 MW or less. The heat input rating of each combustion gas turbine is 2890 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less, and the heat input rating of each supplemental duct burner is equal to 387 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21, the Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—27.217, and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The facility's particulate matter less than 10 microns and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and greenhouse gas emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The facility's nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emissions are also subject to the NNSR requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy best available control technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The facility is also subject to the following Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS): 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines codified in 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420; and 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219. The proposed project is also subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines codified 40 CFR 63.6580 through 63.6675 as applicable to the proposed diesel-fired engines. The Department has determined that this facility satisfies all applicable requirements of these subparts including Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements.
Pursuant to the PSD provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Moxie Patriot has performed an air quality analysis which utilizes dispersion modeling. The Moxie Patriot air quality analysis satisfies the requirements of the PSD regulations and is consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ''Guideline on Air Quality Models,'' codified in Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51, and EPA modeling policy and guidance. The Moxie Patriot air quality analysis adequately demonstrates that Moxie Patriot's proposed emissions will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM-2.5), and particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM-10), and the PSD increment standards for NO2 PM-2.5, and PM-10. In addition, the analysis adequately demonstrates that Moxie Patriot's proposed emissions, in conjunction with anticipated emissions due to general commercial, residential, industrial, and other growth associated with the Moxie Patriot facility, will not impair visibility, soils, and vegetation. Furthermore, the analysis adequately demonstrates that Moxie Patriot's proposed emissions will not adversely affect air quality related values (AQRVs), including visibility, in Federal Class I areas.
In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), where an air quality model specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (EPA's Guideline on Air Quality Models) is inappropriate, the model may be modified on a case-by-case basis. Written approval of the EPA Regional Administrator must be obtained for the use of a modified model. In addition, the use of a modified model must be subject to notice and opportunity for public comment under procedures developed in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(q). The air quality analysis for NO2 for the proposed Moxie Patriot facility utilizes the Plume Volume Molar Ratio Method (PVMRM), which is currently implemented as a non-regulatory default option within the EPA's recommended near-field dispersion model, the American Meteorological Society / Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD). In accordance with the recommendations under section 3.2 of 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W, the Department has submitted a request to EPA Region III for approval of the use of PVMRM within AERMOD for the Moxie Patriot air quality analysis for NO2. Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44, 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice is hereby given that the Department is expressly soliciting written comments on the use of PVMRM in the Moxie Patriot air quality analysis for NO2.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Moxie Patriot indicates that the proposed sources and associated control devices will meet all applicable federal and state air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the Department's BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the proposed construction and operation of the sources and air cleaning devices as indicated in this application. The facility will be a major (Title V) facility. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:

26-00588A: Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC (1550 Coraopolis Heights Road, Suite 140, Moon Township, PA 15108) Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-26-00588A to allow the construction and temporary operation of one Solar Titan 130 natural gas-fired turbine rated at 19,553 HP, one Caterpillar G3516B natural gas-fired emergency generator rated at 1,818 bhp and controlled by an oxidation catalyst, one dehydrator (including reboiler) rated for 200 mmscf/day of natural gas, and one produced water tank with a capacity of 476 bbl at the Shamrock Compressor Station located in German Township, Fayette County. Additionally, this plan approval will include a combined hours of operation limitation of 39,600 hours per year on six Caterpillar G3516B natural gas-fired compressor engines, account for a reduced rating of 15,252 HP on the Solar Mars 100 natural gas-fired turbine, and account for still vent and flash tank emissions control on the dehydrator which are all currently authorized for temporary operation under PA-26-00588.
Potential to emit changes from the new sources and restrictions on currently authorized sources are calculated to be an increase of 24.66 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 41.0 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 7.03 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 14.80 tons of total particulate matter (PM), 9.80 tons of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5), 3.05 tons of total hazardous air pollutants (HAP), and 81,934 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per year; and a decrease of 0.22 ton of formaldehyde per year. Best available technology (BAT) for the proposed natural gas-fired turbine includes good combustion practices including operation in SoLoNOx mode, minimization of startup and shutdown events, and proper maintenance and operation. BAT for the remaining new sources is good combustion practices including use of an air to fuel ratio controller and oxidation catalyst, implementation of a leak detection and repair program for component leak emissions, capture and combustion of dehydrator still vent and flash tank emissions as fuel, and proper maintenance and operation practices.
Shamrock is an existing major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through Step 2 of U.S. EPA's Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule, and the potential to emit increase of CO2e exceeds 75,000 tons per year triggering Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements for GHG. BACT for the proposed natural gas-fired turbine includes maximization of thermal efficiency and proper maintenance and operation.
