AIR QUALITY Northwest Region: Air Quality, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, 814-332-6945.
Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen, Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Intent to Issue Modified Air Quality Operating Permit 03-00027 03-00027: In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a preliminary determination to approve an alternative Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan and seeks an approval of an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Keystone-Conemaugh Projects, LLC Keystone Station located in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County. And in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection intends to modify the facility's Title V Operating Permit. The facility is located at 175 Cornell Road, Suite 1, Blairsville, PA 15717. The facility's representative to contact concerning this application is Mr. Nathan Rozic, Environmental Specialist. His phone number is 724-354-5475. The facility's major emission sources include two tangential pulverized coal-fired (PC) boilers, each with nominal maximum heat inputs of 8,717 MMBtu/hr, two 138 MMBtu/hour auxiliary boilers, four 3,600 bhp peaking diesel electrical generators, emergency diesel engines and fire pumps, coal handling, ash disposal, limestone and gypsum operations, plant haul roads, cooling towers, miscellaneous propane heaters and sorbent handling and storage.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT II approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997, 2008 and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into a revised operating permit (03-00027) for the facility. The relevant RACT II requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal; this includes the provisions of the Department's presumptive RACT II requirements in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.97, as they apply to existing sources at this facility.
The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the RACT II determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:
• Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 for Units 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum of 0.080 lb. NOx/MMBtu on a daily average basis. This limit excludes, emissions during start-up, shut-down, malfunction, or to operate pursuant to any emergency generation operations required by the PJM, including necessary testing for such emergency consistent with the unit's technological limitations, manufacturers' specifications, good engineering and maintenance practices, and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
• Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Unit 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum of 0.30 lb. NOx/MMBtu on a daily average basis under all operating conditions.
• Emissions of NOx expressed as NO2 from Unit 1 and 2 are individually limited to a maximum 800 lbs. NOx/hr on a 30-operating day rolling average basis under all operating conditions.
• The owner or operator shall calibrate, operate, and maintain all elements of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, in a manner consistent with good engineering and air pollution control practices at all times the SCR system is in use.
• The owner or operator shall maintain NOx controls as effective as reasonably possible during startups and shutdowns.
• The owner or operator shall take steps to bring NOx controls back into full service as quickly as practicable whenever the control equipment experiences a malfunction.
• The owner or operator shall document and report to the DEP, information regarding the cause of the malfunction and the steps for bringing the controls back.
• The owner or operator shall develop, maintain, and implement an operation and maintenance plan (O&M Plan) for Unit 1, Unit 2, Low NOx Burner (LNB) and the SCR.
• Within 3 months of the effective date of this permit, the facility shall set the SCR at a target NOx emission rate of 0.060 lb. NOx per MMBtu.
• The facility shall regularly consult with the SCR catalyst vendor to monitor SCR performance in accordance with the catalyst management plans (CMPs) developed for the SCR systems. Such consultation shall be documented by the facility and occur every 180 days.
• Inclusion and Revisions of 40 CFR Part 97 CSAPR Related Subparts (Subpart EEEEE is replaced with Subpart GGGGG).
