### Emission rates were ca lculated using a standard fuel factor of 9, 780 dscf/mmBtu for Bituminous Coal . Compounds expressed above as less than or equal to values had a fraction or fractions that were below detection limits. Detection limits for each fraction were used to determine the emission rate for these compounds.ICR Boiler MACT Emissions Report PES Report No.: M102801

# 3.0 Test Methodolog y

Emissions testing were conducted following the methods specified in 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A and 40CFR63, Appendix A . Schematics of the sampling trains used and copies of field data sheets for each test run are included in the Appendix.
The following methodologies were used during the test program:



## Method 1 Sample and Velocity Traverse Determination Test measurement points were selected in accordance with Method 1, 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendi x A. The characteristics of the measurement location are summarized below, in Table 4.

## Method 2 Volumetric Flow Rate Determination Gas velocity was measured following Method 2, 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A, for purposes of ca lculating stack gas volumetric flow rate. An S

- type pitot tube, differential pressure gauge, thermocouple and temperature readout were used to determine gas velocity at each sample point. All of the equipment used was calibrated in accordance with the spec ifications of the Method. Calibration data is presented in the Appendix.ICR Boiler MACT Emissions Report PES Report No.: M102801

- Valley Power Plant Boiler 1 Outlet Duct July 19 through 21, 2010

## Method 3A Oxygen (O2)/Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Determination A Servomex analyzer was used to determine stack gas oxygen (O 2 

### ) and carbon dioxide content and, by difference, nitrogen cont ent in accordance with Method 3A, 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A for purposes of calculating stack gas molecular weight as well as for calculating emissions on a lb/mmBtu basis. The O 2 

### instrument has a nondispersive infrared

- based detector and operates in a r ange of 0

- 25%, the CO 2 

### instrument also uses a no n dispersive infrared

- based detector and operates in the range of 0

- 20%. All of the equipment used was calibrated in accordance with the specifications of the Method.



## OTM27 Filterable Particulate Determinati **on** Stack gas filterable particulate concentrations and emission rates were determined in accordance with Other Test Method 27 (OTM27) for determination of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns. An Environmental Supply Company, Inc. sampling train was us ed to sample stack gas at a constant rate, as specified in the Method. Filterable particulate matter was separated into two fractions; one containing equal to less than PM 2.5, 

### the other greater than PM 2.5


### .



## OTM 028 Condensable Particulate Determination S tack gas condensable particulate concentrations and emission rates were determined in accordance with the dry draft impinger me thod, in conjunction with Method OTM27 filterable particulate sampling. Condensable particulate matter was collected in the impin ger portion of the Method OTM027 sampling train.
The condensable particulate matter (CPM) was collected in impingers after filterable particulate mat eri al was collected utilizing Method OTM27

. The organic and aqueous fractions were then taken to dryness and weighed. The total of all fractions represents the CPM. Compared to the December 17, 1991 promulgated Method 202, this Method includes the addition of a condenser, followed by a water dropout impinger immediately after the final heated filter. One modi fied Greenburg Smith impinger and an ambient temperature filter follow the water dropout impinger. A schematic of the sampling train configured with these changes is found in the Appendix.
CPM was collected in the water dropout, modified Greenburg Smith impinger and ambient filter portion of the sampling train as described in this Method. The impinger contents were purged with nitrogen (N 2 

### ) immediately after sample collection to remove dissolved sulfur dioxide (SO 2 

### ) gases from the impingers. The impinger solution was then extracted with acetone and methylene chloride (MeCl 2 

### ). The organic and aqueous fractions were dried and the residues weighed. The total of the aqueo us and organic fractions represents the CPM. The s amples were analyzed by PES personnel in Des Plaines, Illinois.ICR Boiler MACT Emissions Report PES Report No.: M102801

## Method 29 Trace Metals Determination Stack gas metals concentrations and emission rates were determined in accordance with Method 29. An Environmental Supply Company, Inc. sampling train was used to sample stack gas, in the manner s pecified in the Method. Analyses of the samples collected were conducted by Maxxam Analytics, Inc

. Samples were analyzed for the following metals, using Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP): Antimony, Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Ch romium, Cobalt, Lead , Manganese, Nickel, and Selenium. All of the equipment used was calibrated in accordance with the specifications of the Method. Calibration data is presented in the Appendix.



## Mercury Determination by Method 30B (Sorbent Trap Method)
P aired trains were utilized using three (3) test points at the Boiler 1 Outlet Duct.
Per Method 30B sampling, each sample was collected on the paired in

- situ sorbent traps. A tube of silica was used to capture remaining moisture prior to the sample reachi ng the gas metering system.
The sample train used for this test program was designed by APEX, Inc. and meet all requirements for Method 30B sampling. Samples were analyzed onsite utilizing an Ohio Lumex, Inc. analyzer for total gaseous mercury.ICR Boiler MACT Emissions Report PES Report No.: M102801
