AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVALS Preliminary Determination to Issue Air Quality Plan Approval No. 38-05019; Public Hearing
AES Ironwood, Inc. (AES) has submitted an application to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 for the construction of an electric generating facility. The proposed facility is to be located in South Lebanon Township approximately 1 mile east of Lebanon along the Conrail tracks between Avon Heights and the Pennsy Supply Prescott Quarry. The proposed facility will produce up to 700 MW of electricity for distribution. The primary fuel will be natural gas; low-sulfur distillate fuel oil may be used as a back-up fuel for up to 45 days annually. The major elements of the facility are:
(a) Two natural gas/low-sulfur distillate fuel oil combustion turbines rated at 235 MW each
(b) Two selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for nitrogen oxides (NOx) control
(c) Two combustion turbine electric generators
(d) Two unfired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG)
(e) A 240 MW steam turbine electric generator
(f) A low-sulfur distillate fuel oil storage tank (4.5 million gallon capacity)
(g) Mechanical draft cooling tower
(h) A 175-foot dual-flue stack
The following table summarizes the maximum potential emissions for the facility. All emission estimates are based upon maximum estimated emission rates and 100% availability.
Pollutant Tons/year Particulate matter (TSP/PM-10) 315 Sulfur dioxide (SO2) 287 Nitrogen oxides (NOx) 470 Carbon monoxide (CO) 1,183 Volatile organic compounds (VOC) 222 Ammonia 325 Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) mist 66 Arsenic (As) 0.015 Beryllium (Be) 0.001 Mercury 0.0027 Additionally, a number of trace elements may be present at less than detectable levels in the turbine exhaust. These insignificant emissions are due to very minor concentrations of naturally occurring elements in the fuel oil and are largely insignificant. The required modeling analysis used 1 year of onsite data and determined that the emissions of CO, NOx, SO2, PM-10, H2SO4 mist, Be and As were below the respective significance levels. Additional analyses determined that the proposed facility would not adversely effect local soils, vegetation, visibility or industrial growth in the area.
The plan approval will contain the following conditions to ensure compliance with the noted regulations:
