TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

Addendum to Jim Bridger Unit 1 BART Report 

PREPARED FOR: Wyoming Division of Air Quality 

PREPARED BY: CH2M HILL 

COPIES: Bill Lawson/PacifiCorp 

DATE: March 26, 2008 

Introduction 

In compliance with the Regional Haze Rule (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 51), the 

Wyoming Division of Air Quality (WDAQ) required PacifiCorp Energy to conduct a detailed 

Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) review to analyze the effects to visibility in nearby 

Class I areas from plant emissions, both for baseline and for reasonable control technology 

scenarios. PacifiCorp submitted these evaluations to WDAQ in January 2007. A revised report 

was submitted in October 2007. 

On January 3, 2008, PacifiCorp Energy personnel met with WDAQ staff to discuss the status of 

the BART reviews. At that time, the state requested that additional modeling scenarios for 

several of the PacifiCorp facilities be performed to aid in their BART review. This memorandum 

presents the economics analysis for two scenarios modeled, referred to as Scenario A and 

Scenario B and described as follows: 

• Scenario A: PacifiCorp committed controls at permitted rates—low nitrogen oxide (NOx) 

burners (LNBs) with over-fire air (OFA), sodium based flue gas desulfurization (FGD), ESP 

with SO3 injection 

• Scenario B: PacifiCorp committed controls and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) at 

permitted rates 

The CALPUFF modeling system (v. 5.711a) was used for this analysis. All technical options and 

model triggers used in CALMET, CALPUFF, and CALPOST are consistent with those used for 

the previous BART analyses and described in the BART report submitted in October 2007. 

Stack Parameters, Emissions Information, and Capital Cost 

Table 1 summarizes the control equipment for Scenarios A and B as well as the current 

equipment installed at the plant. The overall capital cost of installing these options is also shown.

NOTES:

(a) Based on AP-42, Table 1.1-6, the coarse particulates are counted as a percentage of PM10. This equates to 43% 

ESP and 57% Baghouse. PM10 and PM2.5 refer to particulate matter less than 10 and 2.5 micrometers, respectively, 

in aerodynamic diameter. 

(b) Based on AP-42, Table 1.1-6, the fine particulates are counted as a percentage of PM10. This equates to 57% 

ESP and 43% Baghouse. 

(c) Total Sulfate (SO4) (lb/hr) = H2SO4 as Sulfate (SO4) Stack Emissions (lb/hr) + (NH4)2SO4 as SO4 Stack Emissions 

(lb/hr) + (NH4)HSO4 as SO4 Stack Emissions (lb/hr) (d) SO2, NOx, and PM rates are expressed in terms of permitted emission rates. Actual emissions will be less than 

the permitted rates.

Economic Analysis 

In completing this additional analysis to supplement the previous BART study, technology 

alternatives were investigated and potential reductions in NOx, SO2, and PM10 emissions rates 

were identified. 

A comparison of Scenarios A and B on the basis of costs, design control efficiencies, and tons of 

pollutant removed is summarized in Tables 3 through 5. Capital costs were provided by 

PacifiCorp. The complete economic analyses for these two scenarios are provided as 

Attachment 1.

Modeling Results and Least-Cost Envelope Analysis 

CH2M HILL modeled Jim Bridger Unit 1 for two post-control scenarios. The results 

determine the change in deciview based on each alternative at the Class I areas specific to the 

project. The Class I areas potentially affected are Bridger Wilderness, Fitzpatrick Wilderness, 

and Mount Zirkel Wilderness for this unit. 

Modeled Scenarios 

Current operations (baseline) and two alternative control scenarios were modeled to cover the 

range of effectiveness for the combination of the individual NOx, SO2, and PM control 

technologies being evaluated. The modeled scenarios include the following: 

• Baseline: Current operations with LNB, Wet sodium FGD, and ESP 

• Scenario A: LNB with OFA, Wet sodium FGD, and ESP with SO3 injection 

• Scenario B: Scenario A with SCR 

Summary of Visibility Analysis 

Tables 6 through 8 present a summary of the modeling period (2001–2003) results for each 

scenario and Class I area.
