Public Notice 

Iowa Deparlment of Natural Resources 

NOTICE Is hereby given thallhe Iowa De· 

partmenl of Nalural Resources (DNA) 

has under review lwo air qualily construelion permil modifications requested by 

Muscatine Power and Water, localed at 

1700 Dick Drake Way, Muscatine, Iowa. 

Muscatine Power and Water (MPW) Is 

proposing to modify the PM2.5 emission llrnlls for lwo existing emission units. The 

equipmenl Is used to un!oa.d coal !rom 

rat! cars. The equipment ts tdenltlled as: 

Rail Hoppers A, B, & C (EU20), Feeder Bell-A (EU21), Feeder Bell-B (EU22), and 

Transfer Conveyor Load (EU23). The 

emissions are controlled by two fabric hi· 

ter baghouses, which exhaust through 

EP21 and EP22. The existing construelion permil for EP21, permit 93·A·288-S3, 

requtred emissions testing for PM2.5. 

Due to the extremely long test period re· 

quired to obtain an adequate sample and 

the intermittent nature of the railcar un· 

loading: the Department has determined 

that stack testing lor PM2.5 Is not pracll· 

cally feasible. The emission rates for 

PM2.5 are being increased, therefore, 

based on the measured emission rales 

for lola! particulate matter (PM). Tolal 

partlculale mailer (PM) emissions were 

measured In December 2013. As a resull 

of lhe proposed changes, PM2.5 emissions are expected lo increase 0.035 

pound per hour for both EP21 and EP22. 

Annual PM2.5 emissions are expected lo 

increase a lola! of 0.045 ton per year. 

The proposed modifications require !he 

modilicallon of lwo of Muscatine Power ·and Wale(s existing air quality conslrucllon permils thai were issued on July 22, 

2013 as part of a strategy to address lhe
