 Regulated Contaminant(s):

 CAS No: 0NY075-00-0 PARTICULATES

Item 2.2:

Compliance Demonstration shall include the following monitoring:

Monitoring Type: MONITORING OF PROCESS OR CONTROL DEVICE 

 PARAMETERS AS SURROGATE

Monitoring Description: 

 I. CAM Description for particulate matter from boiler #9 (Emission 

Unit U-00003) after the permanent shut down of boiler #12:

The particulate emissions from emission unit (EU) U-00003, emission 

point (EP) 00003 for boiler 9 (commonly called the north stack) is 

subject to 40 CFR Part 64, Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) based

on the following criteria:

 1. Air Pollutant - Particulate Matter (PM)

 2. Applicable Regulation - 6NYCRR Part 227-1.2(a)(4)

 3. Emission Limit - 0.32 lbs/mmBtu

 4. Control equipment – boiler #9 has a cold side electrostatic 

precipitator (ESP) equipped with three fields

 5. Pre-control emissions - greater than 100 tons per year (tpy), 

actual emissions after controls are still greater than 100 tpy from 

 boiler #9.

 6. This permit condition takes effect when boiler #12 permanently 

shuts down by January 1, 2014 and replaces a similar condition for 

boilers #9 and #12.

II. CAM Program for particulate matter from boiler #9 (Emission Unit 

U-000030) after the permanent shutdown of boiler #12:

 The permittee shall:

1. Conduct a particulate matter performance emission once every 4 

Quality Assured (QA) operating quarters, where a QA operating quarter 

is defined as a calendar quarter in which the stack operates more than

168 hours, per Part 75. Thus the PM testing will be on the same 

schedule as the Relative Accuracy Testing Audit (RATA) required by the

Acid Rain Program. The Department may request more frequent 

compliance testing. The testing shall follow EPA Method 5 procedures 

in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. The permittee shall submit a stack 

test protocol at least 30 days prior to the scheduled testing date for

Department review and approval, and submit a stack test report within 

60 days of completing the testing.

2. Use opacity readings from the continuous opacity monitoring system

as an indicator of continuous particulate matter control device 

performance. A review of historical opacity data shows that the north

stack, EP 00003, typically operates at less than 5% opacity. 
 

Permit ID: 9-0608-00053/00033 Facility DEC ID: 9060800053

 Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions

 Page 8 

Therefore, if any hourly average opacity measurement is greater than 

5% at EP 00003 it will be an excursion. For each excursion the 

permittee shall investigate the cause(s), shall initiate corrective 

actions as necessary to minimize the occurrence of excursions, and 

record the cause(s), corrective action, date, time, the actual opacity

average, and the threshold value of 5% opacity.

3. Use secondary voltage measured by voltage monitoring equipment at 

each electrostatic precipitator (ESP) as an indicator of the 

continuous particulate matter control device performance. A review of

historical secondary voltage data shows that the average hourly 

voltage for the ESP, calculated as the average voltage of all three 

ESP fields in the ESP, are typically above 31.07 kilovolts (KV) for 

boiler/ESP 9. If the one-hour average voltage falls below the 

threshold voltage value above it will be considered an excursion. The

permittee must investigate the cause(s) of each excursion, shall 

initiate corrective actions as necessary to minimize the occurrence of

excursions, and record the cause(s), corrective action, date, time, 

ESP, the actual voltage, and the respective threshold voltage.

 

4. The minimum data availability requirement for valid data 

collection for each averaging period, and the minimum data 

availability requirement for the averaging periods in the reporting 

period is 95% of the emission point operating time [64.6(b)(4)]. 

Hourly opacity averages shall be calculated from the 6-minute opacity 

averages for each clock hour. The ESP secondary voltage shall be 

measured and recorded at least four times an hour. The readings must 

be evenly spaced through the hour [40 CFR 64.3(b)(4)(ii)]. 

5. Semiannually, the permittee shall submit a report that:

 a. Summarizes the number, duration and cause of excursions or 

exceedances, and the corrective actions taken [40 CFR 

 64.9(a)(2)(i)],

 b. Summarizes the number, duration and cause for monitor downtime 

incidents (other than downtime associate with zero and span or other 

daily calibration checks) [40 CFR 64.9(a)(2)(ii)], and

 c. Reports the boiler (stack) operating hours during the reporting

period and summarizes the excursions as a percentage of the operating 

 hours.

6. A Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) shall be developed and 

implemented when there are opacity excursions, or voltage excursions 

for more than 5% of the operating hours during the semiannual 

reporting period. An exceedance of the 5% threshold shall be reported

as a deviation in the semiannual and annual compliance reports [40 CFR

64.8(a)]. The elements of a QIP are included in a 40 CFR Part 64.8 

permit condition in this permit.

 Emission Unit: U-00003 Emission Point: 00003

 Regulated Contaminant(s):

 CAS No: 0NY075-00-0 PARTICULATES

Item 3.2:

Compliance Demonstration shall include the following monitoring:

Monitoring Type: MONITORING OF PROCESS OR CONTROL DEVICE 

 PARAMETERS AS SURROGATE

Monitoring Description: 

 I. CAM Description for particulate matter from boiler #9 and boiler 

# 12 (emission Unit U-00003) prior to when boiler #12 permanently 

 shuts down:

The particulate emissions from emission unit (EU) U-00003, emission 

point (EP) 00003 for boilers 9 & 12 (commonly called the north stack) 

are subject to 40 CFR Part 64, Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) 

based on the following criteria:

 1. Air Pollutant - Particulate Matter (PM)

 2. Applicable Regulation - 6NYCRR Part 227-1.2(a)(4)

 3. Emission Limit - 0.26 lbs/mmBtu

 4. Control equipment - each boiler has a cold side electrostatic 

precipitator (ESP) equipped with three fields

 5. Pre-control emissions - greater than 100 tons per year (tpy), 

actual emissions after controls are still greater than 100 tpy from 

each emission point.

 6. This condition expires when boiler #12 permanently shuts down by 

January 1, 2014 and is replaced by a similar condition for boiler #9 

 only.

 

II. CAM Program for particulate matter from boiler #9 and boiler # 12 

(emission Unit U-00003) prior to when boiler #12 permanently shuts

Quality Assured (QA) operating quarters, where a QA operating quarter 

is defined as a calendar quarter in which the stack operates more than

168 hours, per Part 75. Thus the PM testing will be on the same 

schedule as the Relative Accuracy Testing Audit (RATA) required by the

Acid Rain Program. The department may request more frequent compliance

testing. The testing shall follow EPA Method 5 procedures in 40 CFR 

Part 60, Appendix A. The permittee shall submit a stack test protocol

at least 30 days prior to the scheduled testing date for Department 

review and approval, and submit a stack test report within 60 days of 

completing the testing.

2. Use opacity readings from the continuous opacity monitoring system

as an indicator of continuous particulate matter control device 

performance. A review of historical opacity data shows that the north

stack, EP 00003, typically operates at less than 5% opacity. 

Therefore, if any hourly average opacity measurement is greater than 

5% at EP 00003 it will be an excursion. For each excursion the 

permittee shall investigate the cause(s), shall initiate corrective 

actions as necessary to minimize the occurrence of excursions, and 

record the cause(s), corrective action, date, time, the actual opacity

average, and the threshold value of 5% opacity.

3. Use secondary voltage measured by voltage monitoring equipment at 

each electrostatic precipitator (ESP) as an indicator of the 

continuous particulate matter control device performance. A review of

historical secondary voltage data shows that the average hourly 

voltage for the ESPs, calculated as the average voltage of all three 

ESP fields in each ESP, are typically above 31.07 kilovolts (KV) for 

boiler/ESP 9 and 31.83 KV for boiler/ESP 12. If the one-hour average 

voltage falls below the threshold voltage values above it will be 

considered an excursion. The permittee must investigate the cause(s) 

of each excursion, shall initiate corrective actions as necessary to 

minimize the occurrence of excursions, and record the cause(s), 

corrective action, date, time, ESP, the actual voltage, and the 

respective threshold voltage.

 

4. The minimum data availability requirement for valid data 

collection for each averaging period, and the minimum data 

availability requirement for the averaging periods in the reporting 

period is 95% of the emission points operating time [64.6(b)(4)]. 

Hourly opacity averages shall be calculated from the 6-minute opacity 

averages for each clock hour. The ESP secondary voltage shall be 

measured and recorded at least four times an hour. The readings must 

be evenly spaced through the hour [40 CFR 64.3(b)(4)(ii)]. 

5. Semiannually, the permittee shall submit a report that:

 a. Summarizes the number, duration and cause of excursions or 

exceedances, and the corrective actions taken [40 CFR 

 64.9(a)(2)(i)],

 b. Summarizes the number, duration and cause for monitor downtime 

incidents (other than downtime associate with zero and span or other 

daily calibration checks) [40 CFR 64.9(a)(2)(ii)], and

rate, and 'p' is the maximum heat input capacity in mmBtu/hr, the 

permissible emission rate is 0.315, which rounds to 0.32 

 lbs/mmBtu.

3) While firing coal, the facility shall conduct a compliance 

emission test on each boiler for particulates based on methods in 

6NYCRR Parts 202-1.1 & 202-1.3, or equivalent. Stack testing shall be

done according to EPA Method 5 and shall follow Department guidance 

for stack testing of stationary combustion installations. The 

compliance test shall be conducted once every 4 Quality Assured (QA) 

operating quarters, where a QA operating quarter is defined as a 

calendar quarter in which the stack operates more than 168 hours, per 

Part 75. Thus the PM testing will be on the same schedule as the 

Relative Accuracy Testing Audit (RATA) required by the Acid Rain 

 Program.

II. CAM Program for particulate matter from boiler #10 (Emission Unit 

 U-00004):

 The permittee shall:

1. Conduct a particulate matter performance emission once every 4 

Quality Assured (QA) operating quarters, where a QA operating quarter 

is defined as a calendar quarter in which the stack operates more than

168 hours, per Part 75. Thus the PM testing will be on the same 

schedule as the Relative Accuracy Testing Audit (RATA) required by the

Acid Rain Program. The department may request more frequent compliance

testing. The testing shall follow EPA Method 5 procedures in 40 CFR 

Part 60, Appendix A. The permittee shall submit a stack test protocol

at least 30 days prior to the scheduled testing date for Department 

review and approval, and submit a stack test report within 60 days of 

completing the testing.

2. Use opacity readings from the continuous opacity monitoring system

as an indicator of continuous particulate matter control device 

performance. A review of historical opacity data shows that the south

stack, EP 00004, typically operates at less than 10% opacity. 

Therefore, if any hourly average opacity measurement is greater than 

10% at EP 00004 it will be an excursion. For each excursion the 

permittee shall investigate the cause(s), shall initiate corrective 

actions as necessary to minimize the occurrence of excursions, and 

record the cause(s), corrective action, date, time, the actual opacity

average, and the threshold value of 10% opacity.

3. Use secondary voltage measured by voltage monitoring equipment at 

the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) as an indicator of the continuous

particulate matter control device performance. A review of historical

secondary voltage data shows that the average hourly voltage for the 

ESP, calculated as the average voltage of all three ESP fields in the 

ESP, are typically above 32.30 kilovolts (KV) for boiler/ESP 10. If 

the one-hour average voltage falls below the threshold voltage above 

it will be considered an excursion. The permittee must investigate 

the cause(s) of each excursion, shall initiate corrective actions as 

necessary to minimize the occurrence of excursions, and record the 

cause(s), corrective action, date, time, ESP, the actual voltage, and 

the respective threshold voltage.

 

4. The minimum data availability requirement for valid data 

collection for each averaging period, and the minimum data 

availability requirement for the averaging periods in the reporting 

period is 95% of the emission point operating time [64.6(b)(4)]. 

Hourly opacity averages shall be calculated from the 6-minute opacity 

averages for each clock hour. The ESP secondary voltage shall be 

measured and recorded at least four times an hour. The readings must 

be evenly spaced through the hour [40 CFR 64.3(b)(4)(ii)].

5. Semiannually, the permittee shall submit a report that:

 a. Summarizes the number, duration and cause of excursions or 

exceedances, and the corrective actions taken [40 CFR 

 64.9(a)(2)(i)],

 b. Summarizes the number, duration and cause for monitor downtime 

incidents (other than downtime associate with zero and span or other 

daily calibration checks) [40 CFR 64.9(a)(2)(ii)], and

 c. Reports the boiler operating hours during the reporting period 

and summarizes the excursions as a percentage of the operating 

 hours.

6. A Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) shall be developed and 

implemented when there are opacity excursions, or voltage excursions 

for more than 5% of the operating hours during the semiannual 

reporting period. An exceedance of the 5% threshold shall be reported

as a deviation in the semiannual and annual compliance reports [40 CFR

64.8(a)]. The elements of a QIP are included in a 40 CFR Part 64.8 

permit condition in this permit.

Condition 11: Emission Unit Definition

 Effective for entire length of Permit

 Applicable State Requirement:6 NYCRR Subpart 201-5

Item 11.1:

The facility is authorized to perform regulated processes under this permit for:

 Emission Unit: U-00003 

 Emission Unit Description: 

 This emission unit was created for emission point 3. Two coal fired 

steam boilers (commonly known as boilers #9 and #12) emit to one 

common stack (EP 00003), also known as the North Stack. Boiler #9, 

designated as a large boiler, has a nominal heat input rate of 190 

mmBtu/hr. Boiler #12, designated as a very large boiler, has a 

nominal heat input rate of 297 mmBtu/hr. The boilers primarily fire 

coal as described in process 001. However, distillate oil is used to 

bring the boilers up to temperature during startup and other 

conditions when necessary, as described in process 007. Both boilers 

were retrofitted with low NOx burners to comply with the emission 

requirements of NOx RACT. Boiler #12 will shutdown by January 1,

2014 in order for it to be exempt from BART requirements as well as 

the NOx RACT requirements that would otherwise become effective on 

July 1, 2014. When boiler 12 shuts down processes 001 and 007 will be 

replaced by processes 01A and 07A respectively.

 Until boiler #12 shuts down, emission unit 3 consists of 

emission point 00003 (the north stack), emission source 00001 (boiler 

#9), emission source/control 00003 (the electrostatic precipitator 

that serves boiler #9), emission source 00004 (boiler #12), emission 

source/control 00PAC (the powdered activated carbon system that serves

boiler #12), emission source/control 00WTR (the Consol water spray 

system that serves boiler #12), and emission source/control 00006 

(the electrostatic precipitator that serves boiler #12). Once boiler 

#12 shuts down, emission unit 3 will consist of emission point 00003, 

emission source 00001, and emission source controls 00001 and 00003.
