Rule 102 Definitions Several definitions were not included in the Sludge EGsince they were incorporated in the Regulation for the Control of Atmospheric Pollution (RCAP) as part of the HMIWI and CISWI EG
. Enclosed you will find HMIWI and CISWI EGas submitted to the Puerto Rico Department of State
. Source Inventory

- Can you clarify that there is only one 551facility in Puerto Rico at PRASAthat is subject to EQB's 551 Rule 405d? There is only 1 sludge incineration unit currently operating in Puerto Rico. The 551 unit is located at Puerto Rico Aqueduct and 5ewer Authority (PRA5A) in Puerto Nuevo and is subject to Rule 405(d) of the RCAP.

- Is it PFE-65-111-0 as identified in EQB's inventory of sources? The facility was identified in the emission inventory as PRASAPuerto Nuevo with permit number PFE-65-1208-0633-1I1- O
. By mistake we do not include the complete operating permit number in page 3 of the inventory. The facility is currently operation under a Title V permit application shield
. The Title V permit application number is PFE-TV-4953-65- 0314-0142. The permit application was submitted on March 2014.

- How many 551 units are there at the PRA5Afacility? There is only one unit installed and in operation at PRA5A Puerto Nuevo.

- Are there any 551 units in Puerto Rico that are closed/shut down but not dismantled? All shutdown units are dismantled.

- What type of incinerators are MHF#1 and MHF#2? MHF#2 is now closed since October 2000 - if it is/was an 551unit is it now dismantled? Units ID: MHF#1 and MHF#2 were multiple heart furnaces located at PRA5A Puerto Nuevo
. Both units were dismantled. legal Authority We will send EPAcomment to our legal Affairs Office for their review and future reference. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us at your convenience.

From: Gardella, Anthony [mailto:Gardella.Anthony@epa.gov] Sent: Friday, July 31,20153:21 PM To: Leimarys Delgado Medero Cc: Luis R. 5ierra Torres; Mangels, Karl; 5tamataky, Evans; Aponte, John Subject: PR EOB's 5tate plan for sewage sludge incinerators Leimarys, We reviewed EOB's 5515tate plan and we are requesting additional clarifying information as follows: Rule 102 Definitions

- EOB's 5tate plan includes amendments to Rule 102 that adds required definitions form EPA's emission guidelines (EG) for 551 units at 40 CFRpart 60, subpart MMMM. We note that there are several definitions in the EGthat are missing from EOB's amendment to Rule 102 as submitted with EOB's 5515tate plan, including the following terms: auxiliary fuel, bag leak detection system, calendar year, deviation, dioxins/furans, fabric filter, standard conditions, and wet scrubber. Please send us via return email the entire Rule 102 that includes all the definition of terms in the EGfor 551. Source Inventory

- Can you clarify that there is only one 551facility in Puerto Rico at PRA5Athat is subject to EOB's 551 Rule 405d? Is it PFE-65-111-0 as identified in EOB's inventory of sources?

- How many 551 units are there at the PRA5Afacility?

- Are there any 551 units in Puerto Rico that are closed/shut down but not dismantled?

- What type of incinerators are MHF#l and MHF#2? MHF#2 is now closed since October 2000 - if it is/was an 551 unit is it now dismantled? Emissions Inventory

- EOB's inventory of emissions for the PRA5A551 is expressed in tons/year potential emissions. EOB indicates there is no actual emissions for 2009 - is there any recent actual emissions that PRA5Acould provide since 2009 or, if not, perhaps an earlier year?

- Can the emissions inventory from any stack tests be expressed in the same units (e.g., ppm dry volume at 7% 02, and milligrams/dry standard cubic meter) for each pollutant asthe emission limits required by the EGfor 551? If available, compare PRA5A's actual emissions to the emission limits (ppm, mg/dscm, etc.) required by the EGfor 551at Tables 2 or 3, as applicable. Legal Authority

- Our Office of Regional Counsel reviewed the legal authority portion of EOB's SSIState plan and have some minor comments as summarized in the attached. Can you review the attached and let us know your comments. Region 2's ORCasks that corrections to the legal authority as summarized in the attached should be made in the next State plan submittal. It is not necessary to resubmit the legal authority for EOB's 551State plan.
If you need any clarification on the above comments, please let me know. 2Ted Gardella Environmental Engineer Air Programs Branch, Air Planning Section EPA Region 2

Policy Act Law No. 416 of September 22, 2004, as amended 12 LPRA§8001 et seq. However, the citations provided do not exactly match those found in the copy that law provided by PREQBin Section VII.
