General

. This source is subject to the standard requirements in 40 CFR 72.9 (consistent with 40 CFR 76. 8(e)(1)(i)).

These requirements are listed in this source's Acid Rain Permit.

Special Provisions for Early Election Units

Nitrogen Oxides

. A unit that is governed by an approved early election plan shall be subject to an emissions limitation

for NO

x as provided under 40 CFR 76.8(a)(2) except as provided under 40 CFR 76.8(e)(3)(iii).

Liability

. The owners and operators of a unit governed by an approved early election plan shall be liable for any

violation of the plan or 40 CFR 76.8 at that unit. The owners and operators shall be liable, beginning January 1, 2000,

for fulfilling the obligations specified in 40 CFR Part 77.

Termination

. An approved early election plan shall be in effect only until the earlier of January 1, 2008 or January 1 of

the calendar year for which a termination of the plan takes effect. If the designated representative of the unit under an

approved early election plan fails to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emissions limitation under 40 CFR

76.5 for any year during the period beginning January 1 of the first year the early election takes effect and ending

December 31, 2007, the permitting authority will terminate the plan. The termination will take effect beginning January

1 of the year after the year for which there is a failure to demonstrate compliance, and the designated representative

may not submit a new early election plan. The designated representative of the unit under an approved early election

plan may terminate the plan any year prior to 2008 but may not submit a new early election plan. In order to terminate

the plan, the designated representative must submit a notice under 40 CFR 72.40(d) by January 1 of the year for

which the termination is to take effect. If an early election plan is terminated any year pri or to 2000, the unit shall meet,

beginning January 1, 2000, the applicable emissions limitation for NO

x for Phase II units with Group 1 boilers under 40

CFR 76.7. If an early election plan is terminated on or after 2000, the unit shall meet, beginning on the effective date of

the termination, the applicable emissions limitation for NO

x for Phase II units with Group 1 boilers under 40 CFR 76.7.

# Acid Rain Program

Instructions for Phase II NO

x 

# Compliance

Plan (40 CFR 76.9)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has promulgated regulations designed to substantially reduce the annual emissions of

nitrogen oxides (NO

x ) from coal

- fired electric utilities. The NO

x Emission Reduction regulations are found at 40 CFR part 76 and apply to

each existing coal

- fired utility unit that is subject to sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emission reduction requirements under Sections 404, 405, or 409

of the Clean Air Act. Under 40 CFR 76.9, the owner or operator of each affected unit subject to 40 CFR part 76 must include a compliance

plan for NO

x emissions in the Acid Rain permit application for that unit. The designated representatives (DRs) of Phase I and Phase II

NO

x - affected units with Group 1 or Group 2 boilers must submit an initial Phase II NO

x compliance plan to the appropriate title V air

permitting authority (in most cases, the State or local air permitting authority) not later than **January 1, 1998** . A Group 1 boiler is a

tangentially fired boiler or a dry bottom wall

- fired boi ler. A Group 2 boiler is a cell burner boiler, cyclone boiler, vertically fired boiler, or a

wet bottom boiler. Once the title V permitting authority receives the Phase II NO

x compliance plans, it will in turn review them and

incorporate approved plans into the Phase II Acid Rain permits issued by the permitting authority to Phase II affected sources.

# Compliance Options

STEP 2

General

Indicate a proposed method of compliance with the NO

x emissions requirements for each unit at th e source affected for

NO

x during Phase II. A Phase II NO

x compliance plan must

account for each year the Phase II acid rain permit will be

effective. Further, a NO

x compliance plan is in effect only

through the term of the acid rain permit covering the NO

x affected units. A new NO

x compliance plan must be

submitted when an acid rain permit renewal application is

due. NO

X - affected Units

To determine if an affected unit subject to Acid Rain SO 2 requirements is also subject to NO

x emission limitations, s ee 40

CFR 76.1, the definitions at 40 CFR 76.2, and the emission

limitations at 40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, and 76.7. Most existing coal

fired units that are subject to Acid Rain SO 2 requirements and

that have a Group 1 or Group 2 boiler are also subject to the

NO

x emission limitations under 40 CFR part 76.

## 2

Phase I Group 1 Boilers

Compliance options (a) and (b) are standard annual emission

limitations, one of which may be selected for a Phase I Group 1

boiler. The limits also apply to Phase II Group 1 boilers that are

covered by an early election plan previously approved by U.S.

EPA.

Early Election

Compliance option (c), NO

x early election, is available only to

Phase II Group 1 boilers with early election plans submitted by

January 1, 1997 and approved by U.S. EPA. All such plans

terminate no later than December 31, 2007. DRs with NO

x early

election units must select option (c) and either (a) or (b), the

Phase I Group 1 standard emissions limit specified for the unit in

the plan. If the termination date of the plan will be prior to the

expiration date of the acid rain permit covering an early election

unit, the DR must indicate an additional NO

x compliance option

that will apply to the unit beginning when the plan terminates

through the date by which the acid rain permit will expire. In

such cases the DR must mark option (c) and either (a) or (b), as

well as the additional box(es) denoting the additional, follow

- on

NO

x compliance option. For early election units in a common

stack, see also the instructions under Common Stacks

.

Phase II Group 1 Boilers

Compliance options (d) and (e) denote standard annual

emission limitations, one of which may be selected for a Phase

II Group 1 boiler.

Phase II Group 2 Boiler s

Compliance options (f) through (i) denote standard annual

emission limitations, one of which may be selected for a Phase

II Group 2 boiler.

NO

x Averaging

Compliance option (j) denotes the annual emission limitation

under a NO

x averaging plan, which may be selected in lieu of a

standard annual emission limit for Group 1 or Group 2 boilers

with the same owner or operator and the same DR. See

instructions below and include Phase II NO

x averaging form.

Common Stacks

A unit that utilizes a common stack and is separately monitored

for NO

x (i.e, has its own NO

x monitor and diluent monitor) is

treated as the same as a unit that emits only through its own

separate stack.

A unit (other than an early election unit) that utilizes a common

stack and is not moni tored separately must select one of the

applicable common stack options. If the unit shares a common

stack with other affected units and no non

- affected units and if

each of the units has a NO

x emission limitation, three options

are available: comply with the most stringent NO

x emission limitation applicable to any unit utilizing the common stack

(option (k)); include the units in a NO

x averaging plan (option

(l)); or use an approved method for apportioning the combined

NO

x emission rate in the common stack (option (m)). If the unit

shares a common stack with at least one other unit that does

not have a NO

x emission limitation or with at least one non

affected unit, you must use an approved method for

apportioning the combined NO

x emission rate (option (m )),

unless, of course, the unit is separately monitored. An early

election unit that utilizes a common stack, that is not monitored

separately, and whose early election plan specifies option (k) or

(m) for the unit, must select such option.

If an apportionment option is chosen, check, in addition to

option (m), the box at Step 2 that indicates the applicable

emission limitation and submit to U.S. EPA the documentation

supporting apportionment with the monitoring plan submission.

Alternative Emissions Limi tations

Compliance option (n) must be selected by a Phase II Group 1

or Group 2 boiler that is applying for an AEL demonstration

period, or final AEL, starting in Phase II. Compliance option (n)

must also be chosen by a boiler that is renewing for Phase I I a

final AEL approved by U.S. EPA (see instructions

accompanying Phase II AEL Demonstration Period, Final AEL

Petition, and AEL Renewal forms and include appropriate form).

Compliance option (o) must be selected by a boiler that has

applied to U.S. EPA for an AEL demonstration period or final

AEL which is undergoing review by U.S. EPA. If a final AEL is

subsequently approved by U.S. EPA, a revised Phase II NO

x compliance plan must be submitted marking option (o) and

attaching an AEL Renewal form. If an AEL demonstration

period or final AEL is subsequently disapproved by U.S. EPA, a

revised Phase II NO

x compliance plan must be submitted

indicating which Phase II NO

x compliance option will be used by

the boiler.

Repowering Extension Plans

Compliance option (p) must be selected by a boiler that is

covered by either an approved repowering extension plan or a

plan that is undergoing review. If a repowering extension plan

undergoing review is subsequently disapproved, a revised

Phase II NO

x compliance plan must be submitted indicating

which Phase II NO

x compliance option will be used by the

boiler. If the termination date of either the repowering extension

plan undergoing review or the approved plan is prior to the

expiration date of the acid rain permit covering the repowered

(or replacement) boiler under the plan, the DR must indicate an

additional NO

x compliance option that will apply to the boiler

beginning when the plan terminates through the date by which

the acid rain permit will expire. In such cases the DR must mark

option (p), as well as additional box(es) denoting the additional,

follow

- on NO

x compliance option.

# Averaging Plan

Under 40 CFR 76.11 any affected units under control of the same owner or operator and with the same designated representative

may average their NO

x emission rate, rather than each unit complying on an individual

- unit basis with the applicable emission limitation in

40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7. Units with no common owner or operator may not average their emissions. You may submit an averaging plan

(or a revision to an approved averaging plan) with the appropriate title V permitting authority(s) at any time up to and including January 1

of the calendar year for which the averaging plan will become ef fective. If the plan is restricted to units located within a single permitting

authority's jurisdiction, you may submit the plan at any time up to and including July 1 of the calendar year for which the plan will become

effective.

STEP 1

Each unit identi fied for inclusion in the averaging plan in Phase

II must be a Group 1 or Group 2 boiler subject to an emission

limitation under 40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7. Enter each unit's

applicable emission limitation from 40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7 in

column (a). If a unit with an alternative emission limitation

demonstration period or a final alternative emission limitation

under 40 CFR 76.10 participates in an averaging plan, enter the

applicable emission limitation from 40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7,

not the interim o r alternative limit, in column (a).

For units utilizing a common stack that are averaging pursuant

to 40 CFR 75.17(a)(2)(i)(B), the same alternative

contemporaneous emission limitation must be entered in column

(b) for each unit utilizing the common stack. Different annual

heat input limits may be entered for these units in column (c).

Units not utilizing the common stack may also be included in the

averaging plan with the common stack units.

The annual heat input limit entered at column (c) will be a

mi nimum limit if the value in column (b) is less than the value in

column (a) for that unit. It will be a maximum limit if the value in

column (b) is greater than the value in column (a). The values

entered for each unit at columns (b) and (c) must satisfy t he

formula at Step 2. STEP 2

The entries in Step 2 must demonstrate that the Btu

- weighted

annual emission rate averaged over the units in the plan is less

than or equal to the Btu

- weighted annual average emission rate

for the same units if they are each operated, during the same

period of time, in compliance with the applicable emission

limitations in 40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7. Use the equation that

appears in Step 2 to demonstrate that the alternative

contemporaneous annual emission limitations and annual heat

input values assigned to the units in Step 1 satisfy this criterion.

For units with an interim emission limitation or an alternative

emission limitation, the applicable emission limitation for the

equation shall equal the applicable emissions limit ation under

40 CFR 76.5, 76.6, or 76.7.

STEP 3

The second option is included to avoid the need to submit

identical plans each for a different year if you want each plan to

be effective for only one year.
