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

 process flow diagram:

Wilson Unit One is a dry bottom, wall fired, pulverized coal fired unit equipped with low NOx burners (LNB), 

electrostatic precipitators, hydrated lime injection, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and selective catalytic reduction 

(SCR). Constructed in 1978, the unit has a maximum continuous rating of 4585 MMBtu/hr and utilizes #2 fuel oil 

for startup and flame stabilization, bituminous coal and petroleum coke as primary fuel.
