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 the Montour, LLC Steam Electric Station (SES) Located in Derry Township, Montour County.
47-00001: 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 the Montour, LLC Steam Electric Station (SES) located in Derry Township, Montour 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 18 McMicheal Road, Washingtonville, PA 17821. The facility's representative to contact concerning this application is Ms. Kathleen Potter, Senior Environmental Professional. Her phone number is 610-601-0305. The facility's major emission sources include two tangential bituminous coal-fired boilers with nominal maximum heat inputs of 7,317 and 7,239 MMBtu/hr, two # 2 fuel oil-fired auxiliary boilers rated at maximum heat inputs of 249 and 269 MMBtu/hr, emergency diesel engines and fire pumps, coal handling, ash handling and disposal, limestone and gypsum operations, plant haul roads, cooling towers 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 (47-00001) 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 emission limits, throughput limitations and work practice standards along with testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements have been included in the Operating Permit to ensure the facility complies with all applicable Federal and State air quality regulations.
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, and malfunction; operation pursuant to emergency generation required by PJM, including any necessary testing for such emergency operations; and during periods in which compliance with this emission limit would require operation of any equipment in a manner inconsistent with technological limitations, good engineering and maintenance practices, and/or 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 590 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.
• All operators of Unit 1, Unit 2, SCR, and LNB shall be trained in the operation and maintenance of the unit(s) they are assigned to operate by qualified personnel.
• During the first 60 days of each calendar year, the facility shall perform a catalyst activity test. Within 60 days of receiving the results of catalyst activity test, the facility shall consult with the SCR catalyst vendor to monitor SCR performance in accordance the catalyst management plans (CMPs) developed for the SCR systems.
A public hearing will be held if requested by December 6, 2021, to accept oral comments on the proposed Operating Permit revision and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held, if requested, on December 13, 2021, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448.
