# Section 1.2: Prevention of Significant Deterioratio n Information

Answer the following questions if the Source is Sub ject to the PSD Program.

Plant-wide Applicability Limits

1) Are you interested in obtaining a Plant-wide App licability Limit, also known as a PAL? YES NO

If YES, contact the Department in order to discuss the necessary information needed to establish the PAL(s).

Best Available Control Technology

2) Select the NSR regulated pollutants for which th e potential to emit (PTE) of the entire source (if a new major source) or the modification is significant (signifi cance threshold is in parenthesis).

Particulate Matter, PM (25 tpy) Sulfuric Acid Mist, H 2 

### SO 4 

### (7 tpy) PM with aerodynamic diameter equal to Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Emissions, or less than 10 micrometers, PM 10 

### (15 tpy) Non-Methane Organic Compo unds (50 tpy) Nitrogen dioxide, NO 2 

### (40 tpy) Total Reduced Sulfur Compounds, TRS (10 tpy) Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 

### (40 tpy) Hydrogen Sulfide, H 2 

### S (10 tpy) Carbon monoxide, CO (100 tpy) Municipal Waste Combustor Acid Gases (40 tpy) Volatile Organic Compounds, VOC (40 tpy) MWC Metals (15 tpy) Elemental Lead, Pb (0.6 tpy) MWC Organics (3.5 x 10 -6 

### tpy) Fluorides (3 tpy) Ozone Depleting Substances, ODS (Any increase)

Other:

Note: If this is a new major source, the threshold for significance is 250 tons/year for each pollutan t, unless the source is

classified as one of the sources listed in Title 12 9, Chapter 2, Section 002 , then the significance threshold is 100 tons/year for each pollutant including fugitive emissions.



### For each of the pollutants selected above, a BACT a nalysis must be conducted for each emission unit th at is emitting each pollutant (for new sources) or for each unit a t which a net emissions in increase of that polluta nt would occur as a result of a physical change or change in method of operation in the unit (for modifications). A BACT analysis must be submitted to the Department as an attachment to thi s permit application. Contact the Department if he lp is needed determining the information that should be submitte d for the BACT analysis.

Best Available Control Technology Analysis and Det ermination for each pollutant selected above is att ached.

NPPD requests an identical CO permit limit and perm it conditions as in the PSD permit for the Unit 1 b oiler Low-NOx burner retrofit, issued by NDEQ in late 200 6. Attached is a copy of the BACT Analysis, Permit and Fact Sheet for that permitting action. Because Unit 2 is nearly identical in size and uses the sa me fuel as Unit 1, the BACT analysis for Unit 1 is directly ap plicable to Unit 2.

### Ambient Air Impact Analysis

Please consult the “

Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling Guidance for Permit s ” guidance document for information on PSD modeling. This document can be found on the Department’s website ( www.deq.state.ne.us ). The guidance document also contains information on the proper procedure for conducting and submitting mode ling to the Department. Contact the Department if there ar e any questions on whether or not modeling is requi red.

Form 3.0, Sections 3.1 and 3.2 must be completed as appropriate.

Note: No additional dispersion modeling has been co nducted for this project by NPPD. Facility NOx emi ssions would decrease dramatically due to the emission con trol retrofit project (low-NOx burner installation) on Unit 2. CO emissions from Unit 2 would likely increase more than the 100 tons/year significant emission rate f or CO under PSD rules. However, the NDEQ is referred to the Unit 1 low-NOx burner permitting documents, specifically the NDEQ Fact Sheet dated 8/18/2007, w hich shows that Unit 1 total potential CO modeled i mpacts are approximately an order of magnitude below Signi ficant Impact Levels for ambient CO concentration. The Unit 2 stack is nearly identical to the Unit 1 stac k, and the maximum potential CO emissions for Unit 2 will be equal to those of Unit 1. Therefore, it is very cl ear that Unit 2 CO impacts at the requested emissio n limitation will also be approximately an order of magnitude be low Significant Impact Levels for ambient CO concen tration. Thus, no modeling is being submitted and the reader is referred to the Unit 1 Fact Sheet and permit ap plication for documentation of dispersion modeling results.

Please type responses or print using black ink.Complete the following table so that all emission points are accounted for. Use multiple Section 2.3forms, if needed, so all emission points are included.Include the Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) that will be emitted in the largest quantities source-widein the top row. List each emission point that willemit anyHAP in the Emission Point ID# column. For each emission point, indicate the quantity,in tons per year, of HAP that will be emitted in the respective column.Total HAPs should be the sum of the entire column or row. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Nebraska Department of Environmental Qualityvia the Air Quality Construction Permit Hotline at(877) 834-0474, or the Air Quality Permitting Section at (402) 471-2189.Please checkif a separate summary document is used as a replacement for this Form.
