Re: Jeffrey Energy Center- PSD Construction Permit Amendment 

Dear Mr. Wilkus: , I 

I 

Enclosed is the amended air quality constmction permit for the Jeffrey Energy Center 

emission reduction project. Please review the enclosed permit carefully because it obligates your 

company to certain requirements. The source identification number listed above should be used in 

all communication with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) about this 

permitted facility. 

Notify Air Program Field Staff in the Northeast District Office at (785) 842-4600 when 

installation of the equipment is complete and operations commence so that an evaluation may be 

conducted. 

In October 2007 KDHE began addressing green house gas (GHG) emissions in Kansas to 

protect the health and environment of Kansans. To accomplish thl,s task, KDHE will engage 

industries ffi'l:d stakeholders to establish goals for reducing GHG emissions and strategies to 

achieve them. Therefore, in accordance with K.S.A. 65-30050), KDHE is seeking your 

cooperation to voluntarily implement strategies, including the development and use of innovative 

technologies, market-based principles and other private initiatives to reduce or prevent GHG 

. 

emiSSIOnS. 

As provided for in K.S.A. 65-3008b(e), an owner or operator may request a hearing 

'within 15 days after affirmations, modification or reversal of a permit decision pursuant to 

subsection (b) ofK.S.A. 65-3008a. In the Request for Hearing, the owner or operator shall 

specify the provision ofthis act or rule and regulation allegedly violated, the facts constituting 

the alleged violation and secretary's intended action. Such a request must be submitted to: 

Director, Office ofAdministrative Hearings, 1020 S. Kansas A venue, Topeka, Kansas 66612-

1327. Failure to submit a timely request shall result in a waiver of the right to a hearing.

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 (PM10), particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (S02), 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 

Air Emission Unit Technical Specifications 

The following equipment or equivalent is approved: 

1. Add steam extraction from steam turbines to support ethanol plant 

• Extraction from each of the three JEC steam turbines, and 

• Maximum design extraction is 330,000 lb!hr total for all three combined 

2. Improve steam turbine efficiency and increase electrical output 

• New high pressure (HP), intermediate pressure (IP), and low pressure (LP) rotors 

and inner casings 

• Heat input capacity for each boiler following steam turbine improvements is 

expected to be 8262 MJ\ffitu!lrr 

Page 2 of7 
3. Addition of anti-slagging additive to each of the three JEC boilers 

4, Boiler efficiency improvements 

• Reheater surface area adjustment 

• Superheater platen membrane tip changes 

• Boiler. air and gas path flow improvements 

5. Rebuild of scrubbers 1 

• Rebuild existing wet limestone scrubber on each of the three boile{units 

• Add limestone handling and gypsum/landfill handling 

6. ESP upgrades 

• Replace existing collection plates and discharge electrodes 

7. Addition of Low NOx burners and separated over~fire air (SOFA) to JEC 1 and JEC2, and 

tuning of all three boilers2

1 KDHE issued an Air Construction Approval on March 28, 2007 for the portions of this project that were 

determined to have an increase ·in a regulated pollutant. 2 KDHE issued an Air Construction Permit on October 4, 2005 for the addition of Low NOx burners and SOFA to 

JEC3.

accommodated during the baseline period and is attributable to an increase in projected capacity 

utilization at the facility that is unrelated to this modification, including any increased utilization due to 

the rate of electricity demand growth for the utility system as a whole. See 40 CFR 52.2l(b)(41).

2. Provide a report of the CO CEMS certification 'within 30 days after certification is 

completed. 

3. Reports of excess emissions shall be submitted semi~ annually in accordance with the 

requirements in 60.7(c). The summary report referenced in 60.7(c) and defined in 60.7(d) 

applies to the CO CEMS downtime only and is not applicable to an exceedence of the CO 

limit established in this document. 

4. CO Records shall be kept on site for 2 years in accordance with 60.7(f). 

5. In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6)(iii):

resumption of regular operations after the change. 

6. In accordance with 40 CFR 52.2l(r)(6)(iv): 

Submit a report to KDHE within 60 days after the end of each calendar year during which 

records must be generated under paragraph (r)(6)(iii) of 40 CFR 52.21 setting out the

18 months of the effective date of this permit, or if installation is interrupted for a period 

of 18 months or longer. 

2. A construction permit or approval must be issued by KDHE prior to commencing any 

construction or modification of equipment or processes which result in an increase in 

potential-to-emit equal to or greater than the thresholds specified at K.A.R. 28-19-300. 

3. Upon presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law, the 

permittee shall allow a representative of the KDHE (including authorized contractors of

operated in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Kansas Air Quality Act 

and the Federal Clean Air Act. 

5. Tills document does not relieve the permittee of the obligation to obtain other approvals, 

permits, licenses or documents of sanction which may be required by other federal, state 

or local government agencies.

Subject Jeffrey Energy Center Air Construction Permit Effective 

2/29/08 

Min dy and Jason, Westar Energy, Inc. hereby requests the Kansas Department 

of Health and Environment to please provide us with a revised air 

construction permit for our Jeffrey Energy Center Emission Reduction 

Project which was i ssued on February 29, 2008. After reviewing the permit 

issued to us on February 29, 2008, it was determined the permit did not 

match the permit that was placed on public notice. As you are aware, the 

permit issued to us contained different wording on footnote number 7 to the 

"Project Emissions" table. Westar Energy, Inc. would like for KDHE to 

provide a revised permit identical to the permit placed on public notice 

and containing the correct footnote number 7. 

Should you have any questions, please l et me know. 

Thanks, 

Dan.
