Description of the source (including control equipment). Please see the attachments for source or

 process flow diagram:

St. Nicholas Cogeneration Plant operates a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler firing crushed anthracite culm to 

produce steam and generate electricity. The boiler is manufactured by Combustion Engineering, Inc. and is rated at 

825 klbs.hr steam flow at full load. Emission controls on the unit consist of limestone injection into the bed material 

to control sulfur dioxide emissions and a Combustion Engineering, Inc. Baghouse connected in seies to control 

particulate emissions

The following describes any modifications and/or deviations to the applicable test 

methods. If alternative methods were requested, see the attachments for documentation 

of request AND approval, including dates.

A teflon lined probe will be used for the determination of Formaldehyde emissions. This is due to only two test ports 

being available on a 165 inch diameter stack.
