Center

Public Notice & May 31 to July 2 , 2013 ; Public Hearing requests must

Comment Period: be received by June 17 , 201 3

i nterest)

Project: Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is proposing a major modification which will result in modernizing the existing Port Everglades Plant using higher efficiency, lower emission, combined cycle technology (Project). This Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) perm it requires the retirement and replacement of four existing oil

- fired units with one nominal 1,250

MW 3

- on

- 1 combined cycle unit, which will rely primarily upon natural gas. The PSD permit is limited to greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions.

Project Location: The existing FPL Port Everglades Plant is located within the City of Hollywood, in Broward County, Florida. The existing site is situated within 92.5 acres of land owned by FPL. The property is

also in the mid

- port section within the jurisdictional area of Port Everglades. The Project will be located within the existing Port Everglades Plant boundaries.

Authority: EPA Region 4 is the agency responsible for implementing and enforcing CAA requirements for GHG sources in Florida

. Sources are required to obt ain an air quality permit before beginning

construction. The draft permit incorporates the applicable requirements for GHG emissions from the federal PSD program

. A separate permitting action addressing other pollutants is under the jurisdiction of the Flo rida Department of Environmental protection.Emissions: The maximum potential annual emissions in tons per year (TPY)

from the Project are summarized in the fo llowing table:

Control Technology: Th is PSD permit for the Project requires the use of Best Available Control Technology (BACT) to limit emissions of GHG s , to the greatest extent feasible

.

BACT for this project will include the use of an energy efficient 3

-

on

- 1 combined cycle unit, which will rely primarily upon lower

GHG

- emitting natural gas with limited use of fuel oil as backup

. Additional BACT requirements for the auxiliary boiler, emer gency generators, nat ural gas compressor station, diesel fire pump engine

, and temporary construction boilers will include energy ef ficiency through the regulation of fuel and use of a cleaner fuel (for non

emergency equipment)

. The BACT requirement for t he circuit

breakers to control SF 6 is the use of modern enclosed systems with alarms and periodic inspection.
