# FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The Following Notice was Published by the District



## NOTICE OF AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMMENT ON A PRELIMINARY DECISION TO APPROVE A SOURCE OF AIR POLLUTION BY THE SAN DIEGO AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT

The San Diego County Air Pollution Control Distri ct hereby gives notice that it has extended the period of time to provide written comments on the Air Pollution Control Officer’s preliminary decision to approve the Carlsbad Energy Center LLC’s proposed development of the Carlsbad Energy Center Project (District Appli cation Nos. 985745, 985747, and 985748) until January 5, 2009. The Carlsbad Energy Center Proj ect is a 558 megawatt combined cycled power plant consisting of two natural-gas-fired combustion turbine ge nerators, each with a heat recovery steam generator and emission control equipment, and a diesel fire pump engine, to be located at 4600 Carlsbad Blvd., Carlsbad, California, on the same grounds as the existing Encina Power Station. Public notice of the preliminary decision to a pprove this project was provided on November 25, 2008, and the comment period was to have e nded on December 24, 2008. The District is continuing to seek comments on this proposed permit action and written comments may be submitted through January 5, 2009 . Comments postmarked on or before January 5, 2009, will be considered to have been submitted before the end of the comment period. Please direct your comments to the attention of Steven Moore, Air Pollution Control District, 10124 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA 92131. Docu ments relating to the proposed action are available for public review at this address. The District performed an evaluation of the air pollution impacts of this proposal and the equipment is expected to operate in complia nce with all applicable District Rules and Regulations and all applicable federal requi rements. The proposed permit incorporates conditions necessary to ensure compliance with all federal and District requirements. The proposed permit would allow the new equi pment to emit, potentially, a maximum of 72.76 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen, 339.9 tons per year of carbon monoxide, 25.0 tons per year of volatile organic compounds, 39.0 tons per year of particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter, and 5.6 tons per year of oxides of sulfur. These emission increases would be partially offset by the retirement of three of the five existing utility boilers at the Encina Power Station. Should you have any questions regarding this notice or wish to make an appointment to review documents related to this action, please contact Steven Moore at (858) 586-2750.
