Minnkota has agreed to limit stack. Unit 1 began commercial operation on November 20, 1970 and Unit 2 on May 11, 1977. Therefore, the Department proposes that BART is a Minnkota’s choice of 90% reduction as BART is based SO2 emissions to no more than 0.15 lb/106 Btu. The On 17 June 2002, Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from reduction efficiency of 95% of the inlet sulfur on the visibility modeling results. The Department proposes that BART is 95% reduction or EPA. The NOV states that Minnkota allegedly violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration dioxide concentration to the scrubber on a 30-day difference, according to Minnkota’s results, 0.15 lb/106 Btu on a 30-day rolling average basis.

Without an admission of liability, Minnkota entered into a value (0.250 dv based on 98th percentile). However, This requirement will also be incorporated into the settlement in the form of a Consent Decree (CD) with the EPA and NDDH to resolve the issues. The the difference in visibility impact between the two BART limit. CD requires that Minnkota install a level of control for SO2, NOX and PM on both Unit 1 and 2 at alternatives will be as much as 0.228 deciviews MRYS, equivalent to BACT. The effect of the CD on the BART analysis and the requirement to based on the 90th percentile (0.479 deciviews based install BACT-level controls are discussed later in the report. on 98th percentile) for year 2001 in TRNP-NU. After considering the cost of compliance, the energy and non-air quality environmental impacts, the remaining useful life (> 20 years) and the degree of visibility improvement, the Department proposes that BART is represented by improvements to the existing wet scrubber which will achieve approximately 95% reduction in SO2 emissions. BART is 95% reduction efficiency from the inlet of the scrubber to the outlet of the scrubber.
