### Daniel R. Wilkus, 

### P.E.- Manager, Air Programs Telephone Number (785) 575-1614 . 

### This permit is issued pursuant to K.S.A. 65-3008 as amended. Description of Activity Subject to Air Pollution Control Regulations Westar Energy, Inc. (Westar) is proposing to initiate an emission reduction project at its Jeffrey Energy Center (JEC) to add/rebuild air pollution controls, improve plant efficiency, and supply steam energy to a new, separately-owned, ethanol plant. The ethanol plant will be an ·· independent facility near JEC , under different management and control, which will benefit from the process stream generated at JEC.

### Increased utilization of the boilers may be realized through the following project elements: steam extraction for the ethanol plant and anti-slagging chemical (dovmtime reduction). Improved steam turbine efficiency may increase heat input to the boilers. Since the proposed modification will be a major modification of a major stationary source for at least one regulated pollutant emitted in excess of the PSD significant emission levels, it will be subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 52.21, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), as adopted under K.A.R. 28-19-350. JECl, JEC2, and JEC3 are affected sources subject to Title IV of the Federal Clean Air Act, Acid Deposition Control. The proposed project does not constitute a modification or reconstruction for the purpose of determining applicability of New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements. Emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM 10 ), 

### particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (S0 2), 

### and carbon monoxide (CO) were evaluated for this permit review . This project is subject to the provision ofK.A.R. 28-19-300 (Constmction permits and approvals; applicability) because the projected increase in CO emissions due to the project exceeds 100 tons per year. An ·'air dispersion modeling impact analysis, an additional impact analysis , and a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determination were conducted as a part of the construction permit application process. 

### Significant Applicable Air Pollution Control Regulations The following significant Kansas air quality regulations were determined to be applicable to this project:K.A.R. 28-19-300. Construction permits and approvals; applicability K.A.R. 28-19-350. Prevention of significant deterioration of air quality
