PA-63-00922B: Robinson Power Co., LLC (PO Box 127, 563 Route 18, Burgettstown, PA 15021) for construction of a Gas Turbine Power Generating Facility, in Robinson Township, Washington County.
In accordance with 25 PA Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.45, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) intends to issue an Air Quality Plan Approval to Robinson Power Company LLC to authorize the construction of a Gas Turbine Power Generating Facility, in Robinson Township, Washington County.
The proposed facility will consist of: a gas-fired, combined cycle, GE frame 7EA gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with a duct burner, a steam turbine generator, condenser, and auxiliary equipment- a diesel powered fire water pump and a cooling tower. The gas and steam turbines will generate 82.3 MW and 65.5 MW, respectively, for a total of 147.8 MW. Robinson proposes to utilize locally available Marcellus Shale gas consisting of a mixture of methane and ethane.
The proposed facility is subject to the applicable requirements of 25 PA Code, Chapters 121 through 145, 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts KKKK and IIII, (related to standards of performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines and Stationary Compression Internal Combustion Engines), 40 CFR Parts 72 through 78 (related to acid rain), and 25 PA Code Chapter 145 (related to the NOx budget program). The Department believes that the facility will meet these requirements by complying with the emission limitation, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice standards established in the proposed Plan Approval
Annual emissions from this facility will not exceed 30 tons oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 80 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 30 tons of non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs), 5 tons or sulfur dioxide (SO2), 30 tons of particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10), 0.4 tons formaldehyde, 5 tons of all HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) and 620,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).
In accordance with PA Code Title 25 § 127.1, the Department has determined that best available technology (BAT) for the turbine/HRSG/duct burner includes the use of gas as a fuel, good combustion practices, dry low NOx combustors, low NOx burners, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and catalytic oxidation (CatOx). BAT for the diesel-fired fire water pump is the use of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, limitations on hours of operation and compliance with 60 CFR 60, Subpart IIII. BAT for the cooling tower is the use of a source designed to minimize drift to less than 0.0005%, and control of the solids content of the cooling tower fluid through testing and appropriate purge/makeup.
Application and other supporting documentation are available at the address shown below. Any person wishing to either object to issuance of the plan approval or a proposed condition thereof, or to provide the Department with additional information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the plan approval, or to request a hearing may submit the information in writing to the Department. Written comments should be mailed to the Department at the address shown below. A comment period of 30 days from the date of publication of this notice shall exist. All comments must be received within thirty days of the date of this public notice. In accordance with PA Code Title 25 § 127.46, comments shall include the following:
1. Name, address, and telephone number of the person filing the comment.
2. Identification of the proposed plan approval issuance being opposed (PA-63000922B).
3. Concise statement of the objections to the plan approval issuance, and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based
Written comments should be mailed to Barbara R. Hatch, P.E., Environmental Engineer Manager, PADEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, 412-442-4000.
26-00590: Carlisle Construction Materials (PO Box 7000, Carlisle, PA 17013) for installation and initial temporary operation of an Insulfoam expanded polystyrene block molded product line at their Hunter Panels LLC facility in Georges Township, Fayette County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval No. 26-00590 to Carlisle Construction Materials to allow the installation and initial temporary operation of an Insulfoam expanded polystyrene block molded product line at the Hunter Panels LLC facility located off of Summit View Drive in the Fayette Industrial Park, Georges Township, Fayette County. The proposed system will include collection and control of emissions of pentane released during the manufacturing process from the pre-expansion and molding process; a permanent total enclosure with capture from the bead aging process; and destruction of captured emissions via a regenerative thermal oxidizer. Emissions that escape the collection system as well as those from product storage areas will be emitted as fugitive emissions.
Annual potential emissions from the project are estimated to be 49.3 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 5.5 tons of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), 3.5 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 4.2 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), less than 1.0 ton of particulate matter (PM), and less than 1.0 ton of sulfur dioxide (SOx). Hunter Panels, LLC as a subsidiary (which is shared ownership with Insulfoam) of the parent corporation Carlisle Construction Materials. Neither the Hunter Panels, LLC facility nor the proposed project by Carlisle Construction Materials is major by itself. This review has been conducted considering Carlisle Construction Materials and Hunter Panels, LLC as a single facility as defined by Title 25 Pa Code Section 121.1 and as a result of the proposed project the facility will become major for Title V purposes. The project does not trigger the requirements of Title 25 PA Code Subchapters D or E. The Plan Approval has been conditioned to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and will include federally enforceable emission limitations on allowable, visible, fugitive, and malodorus emissions, as well as, requirements for stack testing, monitoring, proper maintenance, record keeping, and emission reporting. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently apply for a Title V Operating Permit in accordance with Title 25 PA Code Subchapter G.
Those who wish to provide the Department with additional written information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to: Mark Gorog, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Each written comment must contain the following:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
