permit, provided the permittee has submitted a timely and complete application and paid applicable fees required

under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter I and the Department is unable, through no fault of the permittee, to issue or

deny a new permit before the expiration of the previous permit. An application is complete if it contains sufficient

facility is located, have been notified in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.413. The application for renewal of the Title

V permit shall also include submission of compliance review forms which have been used by the permittee to update

information submitted in accordance with either 25 Pa. Code § 127.412(b) or § 127.412(j).

(d) The permittee, upon becoming aware that any relevant facts were omitted or incorrect information was submitted in

the permit application, shall submit such supplementary facts or corrected information during the permit renewal

process. The permittee shall also provide additional information as necessary to address any requirements that become

applicable to the source after the date a complete renewal application was submitted but prior to release of a draft

permit.

(a) In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450(a)(4), a change in ownership or operational control of the source shall be

treated as an administrative amendment if:

 (1) The Department determines that no other change in the permit is necessary;

 

 (2) A written agreement has been submitted to the Department identifying the specific date of the transfer of permit

responsibility, coverage and liability between the current and the new permittee; and,

transfer-of-ownership which are documented and approved to the satisfaction of the Department. 

(a) Upon presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law for inspection and entry purposes,

the permittee shall allow the Department of Environmental Protection or authorized representatives of the Department

to perform the following:

 (1) Enter at reasonable times upon the permittee's premises where a Title V source is located or emissions related

activity is conducted, or where records are kept under the conditions of this permit;

 (2) Have access to and copy or remove, at reasonable times, records that are kept under the conditions of this permit;

 (3) Inspect at reasonable times, facilities, equipment including monitoring and air pollution control equipment,

practices, or operations regulated or required under this permit;

 (4) Sample or monitor, at reasonable times, substances or parameters, for the purpose of assuring compliance with the

permit or applicable requirements as authorized by the Clean Air Act, the Air Pollution Control Act, or the regulations

promulgated under the Acts.

in the performance of any duty authorized under the Air Pollution Control Act.

(c) Nothing in this permit condition shall limit the ability of the EPA to inspect or enter the premises of the permittee in

accordance with Section 114 or other applicable provisions of the Clean Air Act.

(a) The permittee shall comply with the conditions of this permit. Noncompliance with this permit constitutes a

violation of the Clean Air Act and the Air Pollution Control Act and is grounds for one (1) or more of the following:

 (1) Enforcement action 

 (2) Permit termination, revocation and reissuance or modification

 (3) Denial of a permit renewal application

(b) A person may not cause or permit the operation of a source, which is subject to 25 Pa. Code Article III, unless the

conditions in the plan approval and operating permit issued by the Department. A person may not cause or permit the

operation of an air contamination source subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 in a manner inconsistent with good

operating practices.

(c) For purposes of Sub-condition (b) of this permit condition, the specifications in applications for plan approvals and

operating permits are the physical configurations and engineering design details which the Department determines are

essential for the permittee's compliance with the applicable requirements in this Title V permit. Nothing in this subcondition shall be construed to create an independent affirmative duty upon the permittee to obtain a predetermination

from the Department for physical configuration or engineering design detail changes made by the permittee.

Need to Halt or Reduce Activity Not a Defense

Duty to Provide Information

Reopening and Revising the Title V Permit for Cause

Reopening a Title V Permit for Cause by EPA

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the

permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit.

(a) The permittee shall furnish to the Department, within a reasonable time, information that the Department may

request in writing to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit,

or to determine compliance with the permit.

(b) Upon request, the permittee shall also furnish to the Department copies of records that the permittee is required to

keep by this permit, or for information claimed to be confidential, the permittee may furnish such records directly to

the Administrator of EPA along with a claim of confidentiality.

(a) This Title V permit may be modified, revoked, reopened and reissued or terminated for cause. The filing of a

request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification of

planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay a permit condition.

(b) This permit may be reopened, revised and reissued prior to expiration of the permit under one or more of the

following circumstances:

 

 (1) Additional applicable requirements under the Clean Air Act or the Air Pollution Control Act become applicable to

a Title V facility with a remaining permit term of three (3) or more years prior to the expiration date of this permit. The

Department will revise the permit as expeditiously as practicable but not later than 18 months after promulgation of the

applicable standards or regulations. No such revision is required if the effective date of the requirement is later than

the expiration date of this permit, unless the original permit or its terms and conditions has been extended.

 (2) Additional requirements, including excess emissions requirements, become applicable to an affected source under

the acid rain program. Upon approval by the Administrator of EPA, excess emissions offset plans for an affected source

shall be incorporated into the permit.

 (3) The Department or the EPA determines that this permit contains a material mistake or inaccurate statements were

made in establishing the emissions standards or other terms or conditions of this permit.

 (4) The Department or the Administrator of EPA determines that the permit must be revised or revoked to assure

compliance with the applicable requirements.

(c) Proceedings to revise this permit shall follow the same procedures which apply to initial permit issuance and shall

affect only those parts of this permit for which cause to revise exists. The revision shall be made as expeditiously as

practicable.

(d) Regardless of whether a revision is made in accordance with (b)(1) above, the permittee shall meet the applicable

standards or regulations promulgated under the Clean Air Act within the time frame required by standards or

regulations.

As required by the Clean Air Act and regulations adopted thereunder, this permit may be modified, reopened and

reissued, revoked or terminated for cause by EPA in accordance with procedures specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.543.

Significant Operating Permit Modifications

Minor Operating Permit Modifications

Administrative Operating Permit Amendments

Severability Clause

Fee Payment

When permit modifications during the term of this permit do not qualify as minor permit modifications or

administrative amendments, the permittee shall submit an application for significant Title V permit modifications in

accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.541.

(a) The permittee may make minor operating permit modifications (as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1) in accordance

with 25 Pa. Code § 127.462.

(b) Unless precluded by the Clean Air Act or the regulations thereunder, the permit shield described in 25 Pa. Code §

127.516 (relating to permit shield) shall extend to an operational flexibility change authorized by 25 Pa. Code § 127.462.

(a) The permittee may request administrative operating permit amendments, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 127.450(a),

according to procedures specified in § 127.450. Administrative amendments are not authorized for any amendment

precluded by the Clean Air Act or the regulations thereunder from being processed as an administrative amendment.

(b) Upon taking final action granting a request for an administrative permit amendment in accordance with § 127.450(c),

the Department will allow coverage under 25 Pa. Code § 127.516 (relating to permit shield) for administrative permit

amendments which meet the relevant requirements of 25 Pa. Code Article III, unless precluded by the Clean Air Act or

the regulations thereunder.

The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit is determined by the Environmental

Hearing Board or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such a determination will not affect

the remaining provisions of this permit.

(a) The permittee shall pay fees to the Department in accordance with the applicable fee schedules in 25 Pa. Code

Chapter 127, Subchapter I (relating to plan approval and operating permit fees).

(b) Emission Fees. The permittee shall, on or before September 1st of each year, pay applicable annual Title V emission

fees for emissions occurring in the previous calendar year as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.705. The permittee is not

required to pay an emission fee for emissions of more than 4,000 tons of each regulated pollutant emitted from the

facility. 

(c) As used in this permit condition, the term "regulated pollutant" is defined as a VOC, each pollutant regulated under

Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act and each pollutant for which a National Ambient Air Quality Standard has

been promulgated, except that carbon monoxide is excluded.

(d) Late Payment. Late payment of emission fees will subject the permittee to the penalties prescribed in 25 Pa. Code §

127.707 and may result in the suspension or termination of the Title V permit. The permittee shall pay a penalty of fifty

percent (50%) of the fee amount, plus interest on the fee amount computed in accordance with 26 U.S.C.A. § 6621(a)(2)

from the date the emission fee should have been paid in accordance with the time frame specified in 25 Pa. Code §

127.705(c).

Authorization for De Minimis Emission Increases

(e) The permittee shall pay an annual operating permit administration fee according to the fee schedule established in

25 Pa. Code § 127.704(c) if the facility, identified in Subparagraph (iv) of the definition of the term "Title V facility" in 25

Pa. Code § 121.1, is subject to Title V after the EPA Administrator completes a rulemaking requiring regulation of those

sources under Title V of the Clean Air Act.

(f) This permit condition does not apply to a Title V facility which qualifies for exemption from emission fees under 35

P.S. § 4006.3(f).

(a) This permit authorizes de minimis emission increases from a new or existing source in accordance with 25 Pa. Code

§§ 127.14 and 127.449 without the need for a plan approval or prior issuance of a permit modification. The permittee

shall provide the Department with seven (7) days prior written notice before commencing any de minimis emissions

increase that would result from either: (1) a physical change of minor significance under § 127.14(c)(1); or (2) the

construction, installation, modification or reactivation of an air contamination source. The written notice shall:

 (1) Identify and describe the pollutants that will be emitted as a result of the de minimis emissions increase.

 (2) Provide emission rates expressed in tons per year and in terms necessary to establish compliance consistent with

any applicable requirement. 

The Department may disapprove or condition de minimis emission increases at any time. 

(b) Except as provided below in (c) and (d) of this permit condition, the permittee is authorized during the term of this

permit to make de minimis emission increases (expressed in tons per year) up to the following amounts without the

need for a plan approval or prior issuance of a permit modification:

 (1) Four tons of carbon monoxide from a single source during the term of the permit and 20 tons of carbon monoxide

at the facility during the term of the permit.

 (2) One ton of NOx from a single source during the term of the permit and 5 tons of NOx at the facility during the

term of the permit.

 (3) One and six-tenths tons of the oxides of sulfur from a single source during the term of the permit and 8.0 tons of

oxides of sulfur at the facility during the term of the permit.

 (4) Six-tenths of a ton of PM10 from a single source during the term of the permit and 3.0 tons of PM10 at the facility

during the term of the permit. This shall include emissions of a pollutant regulated under Section 112 of the Clean Air

Act unless precluded by the Clean Air Act or 25 Pa. Code Article III.

 (5) One ton of VOCs from a single source during the term of the permit and 5.0 tons of VOCs at the facility during the

term of the permit. This shall include emissions of a pollutant regulated under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act unless

precluded by the Clean Air Act or 25 Pa. Code Article III.

(c) In accordance with § 127.14, the permittee may install the following minor sources without the need for a plan

approval:

 (1) Air conditioning or ventilation systems not designed to remove pollutants generated or released from other

sources.

 (2) Combustion units rated at 2,500,000 or less Btu per hour of heat input.

 (3) Combustion units with a rated capacity of less than 10,000,000 Btu per hour heat input fueled by natural gas

Subpart Da - Standards of Performance for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units for Which Construction Is Commenced

After September 18, 1978

Applicability and designation of affected facility.

Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Protocol

(a) The purpose of this protocol is to outline procedures for the development, verification, operation, and ongoing

maintenance of a continuous monitoring approach sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable assurance that the CFB Baghouse

(C031) used to control the particulate matter (PM) emissions from Source ID 031 operates in compliance with the PM

emission limit.

(b) Monitoring designed and operated in accordance with this protocol for an exhaust stack equipped with a continuous

opacity monitoring system (COMs) satisfies the requirements of the CAM rule's monitoring design criteria in 40 CFR Part

64.

I. Indicator - Opacity of CFB Baghouse (C031) exhaust

Measurement Approach - Continuous Opacity Monitoring System (COMs)

II. Indicator Range

(a) The opacity indicator must be established at or below an opacity level where C031 has demonstrated at least a 10 percent

margin of compliance with the PM limit.

(b) A maximum opacity value for a 1-hour period must be established to prevent momentary parameter changes from

causing an excursion.

III. Performance Criteria

(a) Data Representativeness

(1) The % opacity measured by the COMs is proportional to the amount of PM in the exhaust stream. Opacity is correlated to

the mass emission rate through an approved particulate testing program which has been performed during maximum

normal operating conditions.

(2) The % opacity will also act as a direct indication of the integrity of the fabric collector and the various components

involved. Further, the baghouse integrity is representative of the particulate emission rate. The COMs are located in the

exhaust ducts downstream of the CFB baghouse.

(b) Verification of Operational Status

(1) The operation of the COMs shall be verified by a display in the control room and the presence of a valid opacity signal

on the COMs readout and the results of the performance evaluation conducted as per 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139.

(c) QA/QC Practices

Install and evaluate the COMs per 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139. To assure the accuracy of readings from the COMs, the

permittee shall perform daily drift checks, a quarterly calibration audit, and an annual RATA.

(d) Data Collection Procedures & Averaging Periods

(1) An electronic data handling and acquisition system (DAHS) shall collect data points from the COMs approximately every

10 seconds of operation. These % opacity data points are reduced to 1-minute averages and then to 1-hour averages. Overall

averaging period is in one-hour blocks.

The requirements in 40 CFR Section 60.49Da apply.

Emission reduction credit provisions.

CAIR NOx allowance allocations.

The following conditions shall be satisfied in order for the Department to issue a permit or plan approval to the owner or

operator of a unit not subject to this subchapter that is relying on emission reduction credits (ERCs) or creditable emission

reductions in an applicability determination under Chapter 127, Subchapter E (relating to new source review), or is seeking

to enter into an emissions trade authorized under Chapter 127 (relating to construction, modification, reactivation and

operation of sources), if the ERCs or creditable emission reductions were, or will be, generated by a unit subject to this

subchapter. 

(1) Prior to issuing the permit or plan approval, the Department will permanently reduce the Commonwealth¿s CAIR NOx

trading budget or CAIR NOx Ozone Season trading budget, or both, as applicable, beginning with the sixth control period

following the date the plan approval or permit to commence operations or increase emissions is issued. The Department

will permanently reduce the applicable CAIR NOx budgets by an amount of allowances equal to the ERCs or creditable

emission reductions relied upon in the applicability determination for the non-CAIR unit subject to Chapter 127, Subchapter

E or in the amount equal to the emissions trade authorized under Chapter 127, as if these emissions had already been

emitted. 

(2) The permit or plan approval must prohibit the owner or operator from commencing operation or increasing emissions

until the owner or operator of the CAIR unit generating the ERC or creditable emission reduction surrenders to the

Department an amount of allowances equal to the ERCs or emission reduction credits relied upon in the applicability

determination for the non-CAIR unit under Chapter 127, Subchapter E or the amount equal to the ERC trade authorized

under Chapter 127, for each of the five consecutive control periods following the date the non-CAIR unit commences

operation or increases emissions. The allowances surrendered must be of present or past vintage years.

(a) Provisions not incorporated by reference. The requirements of 40 CFR 96.142 (relating to CAIR NOx allowance

allocations) are not incorporated by reference. Instead of 40 CFR 96.142, the requirements set forth in this section apply. 

(b) Baseline heat input. Baseline heat input for each CAIR NOx unit will be converted as follows: 

(1) Not Applicable

(2) Except as provided in subparagraphs (iv), a unit's converted control period heat input for a calendar year shall be

determined as follows: 

(i) The control period gross electrical output of the generators served by the unit multiplied by 7,900 Btu/kWh if the unit is

coal-fired for the year, and divided by 1,000,000 Btu/mmBtu. 

(ii) Not Applicable

(iii) For a unit that is a boiler and has equipment used to produce electricity and useful thermal energy for industrial,

commercial, heating or cooling purposes through the sequential use of energy, the total heat energy (in Btus) of the steam

produced by the boiler during the annual control period, divided by 0.8 and by 1,000,000 Btu/mmBtu. 

(iv) Calculations will be based on the best output data available on or before January 31 of the year the allocations are

published. If unit level electrical or steam output data are not available from EIA, or submitted by this date by the owner or

operator of the CAIR NOx unit, then heat input data for the period multiplied by 0.25 and converted to MWh will be used to

determine total output.

SECTION G. Miscellaneous.

This operating permit No. TVOP 49-00001 was originally issued on January 18, 2001 and will expire on December 31, 2005. Revision

No. 1 issued on October 30, 2003 was a significant operating permit modification which incorporates the Phase II Acid Rain

requirements into the Title V operating permit for Source ID 031. This revision also incorporates an administrative amendment for

the operation of the main culm processing plant (Source ID P206) at the facility. All revised monitoring, recordkeeping and

reporting requirements became effective on October 30, 2003.

(a) The following air contaminant sources are considered to be of minor significance to the Department and have been determined

to be exempt from permit requirements. However, this determination does not exempt the sources from compliance with all

applicable air quality regulations specified in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121-145:

(1) One parts washer (approximately 2.5§ by 1.5§ liquid-vapor interfacial surface area)

(2) Cooling Towers (18,000 gallons process water per hour)

(3) Space heaters (combined heat input < 2.5 MMBtu/hr)

(b) The "culm processing operations" consist of the following sources:

Crusher House (Source ID P106)

Transfer Tower #2 (Source ID P107)

Trommel Screen (Source ID P108)

Culm Conveying Operations (Source ID P112)

Fixed Height Radial Stacker (Source ID P113)
