Seminole Generating Station (SGS) Units 1 and 2 

Regional Haze Rule (RHR) - Reasonable Progress (RP) Analysis 

Dear Mr. Rogers: 

SECI operates two solid fuel-fired electrical generating units (EGUs) at its SGS located 

near Palatka, Putnam County, Florida. Operation of SGS Units 1 and 2 is currently authorized by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Title V Final Permit 

No. 1070025-017-AV, issued with an effective date of January 1, 2010, and an expiration 

date of December 31, 2014. 

This submission is made in a cooperative effort to address RHR implementation issues 

resulting from recent regulatory developments related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and its successor, the CrossState Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). CSAPR is currently stayed, and CAIR remains in effect, pending judicial review of CSAPR. Depending on the court's decision on CSAPR, 

SECI may revisit, revise, or withdraw this analysis and proposal. 

According to Florida's RHR State Implementation Plan (SIP), SGS Units 1 and 2 are 

subject to RHR RP requirements. SECI proposes to meet FDEP's RP requirements for 

SGS Units 1 and 2 by implementing the following for each unit: 

• Seek a permit modification to remove petroleum coke as an approved fuel. 

• Upgrade the existing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) emissions controls to 

achieve a minimum sulfur dioxide (S02) removal efficiency of 95 percent 

or, alternatively, an equivalent S02 emissions rate of no more than 

0.25 poundper million British thermal units (lbIMMBtu) of S020n a 30-day 

rolling average basis for both limits. 

The proposed S02 emissions limits for SGS Units 1 and 2 represent top-level emissions 

controls and therefore satisfy FDEP's RP requirements. The following sections provide 

information regarding FDEP's RP requirements, existing emissions controls, historical 

and current S02 emissions rates, and a RP analysis and proposal for SGS Units 1 and 2.

REASONABLE PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS 

The 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments established a national goal of "preventing future, 

and remedying existing, visibility impairment" in 156 national parks and wilderness 

areas, referred to as "mandatory Class I federal areas." In response to this congressional 

mandate, EPA issued a rule addressing regional haze on July 1, 1999. The RHR set a 

long-term ultimate goal of returning visibility in the Class I areas to "natural conditions" 

by the year 2064. Natural conditions represent the visibility that would exist in Class I 

areas without any impairment due to human activities; i.e., under prehistoric and pristine 

conditions. 

A key component of the RHR is that states must determine reasonable progress goals 

(RPG) toward attaining the goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, 

impairment of visibility in mandatory Class I federal areas. In determining their RPGs, 

states must consider the following four factors: 

• Costs of compliance. 

• Time necessary for compliance. 

• Energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of compliance. 

• Remaining useful life of any potentially affected sources. 

In addition, states must also consider the rate of progress needed to reach natural visibility conditions by 2064. This consideration is referred to as the "uniform rate of progress," 

or the "glidepath."Protections implementing these RPG requirements have been promulgated in the Code of Federal Protections (CFR) under Chapter 40, Part 51, Subpart P,Protection of Visibility. 40 CFR 51.308 specifically addresses the regional haze 

program requirements. EPA has developed guidance for implementing the RPG requirements (reference the Guidance for Setting Reasonable Progress Goals Under the Regional 

Haze Program revised June 1, 2007). 

FDEP's draft Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class I Areas (RH Plan) submitted to EPA 

on April 13, 2012, indicates that RP for Florida emissions sources will be confined to 

S02, since reductions in emissions of this pollutant will provide the greatest benefit to 

visibility improvement. The FDEP RH Plan also identifies the specific Florida emissions 

units that FDEP has determined are subject to RP review. The selection of Florida emissions units subject to RP review was based on the ratio of 2002 S02annuai emissions (Q, 

in tons) and distance (D, in kilometers [km]) from a Class I area. If the Q/D ratio is 50 or 

greater, the emissions source was considered to have a significant impact on visibility 

impairment and therefore be subject to RP review. On May 25, 2012, EPA proposed to 

approve FDEP's analysis regarding the pollutants and source categories that most contribute to visibility impairment in Class I areas (i.e., to focus solely on S02and industrial 

point sources of S02emissions including EGUs and non-EGUs) and FDEP's methodoloRegional Haze SIP for Florida

gy for prioritizing the most significant contributors to regional haze (i.e., use of a Q/D 

ratio greater than 50). 

A summary of SGS Units 1 and 2 Q/D ratios for the baseline year (i.e., 2002) and 2011 

are shown in the following table. Although S02emissions for Units 1 and 2 have been 

reducedfrom 2002, current 2011 levels still exceed the QID threshold of 50 as shown in 

the following table: 

Parameter Units Unit 1 Unit 2 

2002 S02 emissions tpy 10,912 12,775 

2011 S02 emissions tpy 7,216 7,754 

Chassahowitzka NWR 

Distance km 141.6 141.6 

2002 Q/D Ratio tpy/km 77.1 90.2 

2011 Q/D Ratio tpy/km 51.0 54.8 

Okefenokee NWR 

Distance km 121.8 121.8 

2002 Q/D Ratio tpy/km 89.6 104.9 

2011 Q/D Ratio tpy/km 59.2 63.7 

Note: tpy = ton per year. 

Distances from SGS Units 1 and 2 to the other two Florida Class I areas, which are considered to have visibility as an important value (i.e., Everglades National Park [491.8 km] 

and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge [NWR] [247.0 km]), are much greater than those 

shown in this table for the Okefenokee NWR. Accordingly, the Okefenokee NWR 

represents the constraining Class I area with respect to RP applicability based on the Q/D 

ratio metric. 

SGS Units 1 and 2 are subject to the requirements of the CAIR. With respect to the RHR 

RP requirements, EPA previously determined that emissions sources subject to the CAIR 

S02and nitrogen oxides (NOx) trading programs would achieve greater reasonable 

progress than best available retrofit technology (BART); therefore, these two pollutants 

would not need to be subject to a BART analysis. The CAIR requirements were also considered to satisfy the RHR requirement for a long-term strategy sufficient to achieve 

state-adopted RPGs.

Due to legal challenges to CAIR, EPA issued a final rule on July 6, 2011, to replace 

CAIR; i.e., CSAPR. For Florida EGUs, CSAPR only requires participation in the ozone 

season NOxtrading program. Similar to the approach taken for CAIR, on December 30, 

2011, EPA proposed to consider EGUs subject to CSAPR to have emissions rates "better 

than BART" and, therefore, exempt from BART review. In its proposal, EPA included a 

limited disapproval of Florida's regional haze SIP with respect to BART, since CSAPR 

for Florida EGUs only addresses NOxemissions and therefore cannot be relied upon to 

control S02emissions. However, EPA's December 30,2011, proposal specifically did not 

disapprove Florida's RPG for 2018 noting "that the reasonable progress goals are not 

mandatory standards in the sense of there being consequences if they are not met, because there are inherent uncertainties in projecting future emissions and resulting visibility conditions." EPA also noted the requirement for midcourse reviews of the status of the 

RPGs and a correction to a state's RH SIP in the event current implementation strategies 

are not sufficient in meeting the RPGs. In addition, on December 30, 2011, the court 

stayed CSAPR and left CAIR in effect pending judicial review. 

UNITS 1 AND 2 S02 EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS 

SGS Units 1 and 2 are solid fuel, dry-bottom, wall-fired units each with a maximum heat 

input of 7,172 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr). Units 1 and 2 are currently authorized to bum coal as the primary fuel but are also authorized to bum a blend 

of coal and petroleum coke up to a maximum of 30 percent by weight petroleum coke. 

The maximum sulfur content of petroleum coke may not exceed 7.0 percent by weight on 

a dry basis. This sulfur content limit for petroleum coke is 2.3 times the design coal nominal sulfur content of 3.0 percent by weight. Units 1 and 2 are each equipped with 

S02continuous emissions monitoring systems as required by the Acid Rain Program and 

CAIR. 

In addition to electrostatic precipitators for control of particulate matter (PM), 10w-NOx 

burners, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) forNOxcontro1 and an alkali injection 

system to control emissions of sulfuric acid mist, Units 1 and 2 are each equipped with 

wet FGD scrubbers to control S02emissions. The original FGD controls were upgraded 

in 2010 to comply with CAIR and other air regulatory initiatives (e.g., the Clean Air 

Mercury Rule). Improvements to the FGD systems included scrubber module modifications, upgrades to the module's mist eliminator wash system, expansion of the oxidation 

air system, and upgrades to the existing sparger rings in the absorber recycle tanks. Following these upgrades, the allowable S02emissions rate for Units 1 and 2 was reduced 

from 1.2 to 0.67 1b/MMBtu. 

UNITS 1 AND 2 S02 EMISSIONS RATES 

Table 1 provides a summary of 2002 and 2007 through 2011 S02emissions rates for SGS 

Units 1 and 2. Data shown was obtained from the EPA Clean Air Markets Website and

SEcr annual operating reports. As shown in Table 1, current actual S02emissions are 

well below the 2002 baseline levels reflecting the FGD upgrades that were made in 2010. 

REASONABLE PROGRESS ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL 

Wet FGD technology provides the highest S02removai efficiencies for coal-fired boilers. 

The SGS Unit 1 and 2 FGD control systems currently achieve approximately 92-percent 

S02removal. SECr proposes to make additional changes to Units 1 and 2 to achieve a 

minimum S02removai efficiency of 95 percent or, alternatively, an equivalent 

S02emissions rate of no more than 0.25 Ib/MMBtu on a 30-day rolling average basis for 

both limits. 

SEcr is presently evaluating available options to achieve the proposed S02removai efficiency or emissions limit including, but not limited to, further modifications to the internal 

components of the FGD scrubbers, increase in limestone recirculation rates, and increased used of dibasic acid. SECr proposes to complete its evaluation and provide FDEP 

with the details of the selected option by March 1, 2013. 

The amount of time required to implement the selected option and achieve the proposed 

S02emissions limits will depend on the option's design and if construction is required. 

Within 1 to 3 years following option selection (i.e., no later than March 1, 2016), SECr 

proposes to achieve either the proposed S02emissions limit or the removal efficiency requirements. 

SECI's RP proposal for SGS Units 1 and 2 is based on the following considerations: 

• The proposed S02emissions limits are consistent with EPA's "presumptive" 

BART limits. The 40 CFR 51, Appendix Y, BART presumptive 

S02emissions limit for utility boilers greater than 200 megawatts (MW) is a 

minimum S02removai efficiency of 95 percent or anS02emissions limit of 

0.15Ib/MMBtu. 

• The proposed S02emissions are consistent with the top-level controls determined as BART for similar coal-fired boilers; e.g., Tampa Electric Company's Big Bend Station Units 1,2, and 3 (which EPA proposed to approve 

on May 25,2012). 

• Current 2011 actual Unit 1 and 2 S02emissions rates are approximately 24 

and 32 percent, respectively, below 2002 baseline levels. 

• The proposed S02emissions limit of 0.251b/MMBtu represents a 

62.7-percent decrease from the current permit limit ofO.67Ib/MMBtu.

• Modeling conducted by the Visibility Improvement State and Tribal Association of the Southeast indicates that the 2018 base control scenario will result in visibility improvements approximately equal to the uniform rates of 

progress for the Class I areas affected by Florida emissions sources. Since 

the 2018 base control scenario does not include visibility improvements due 

to S02emissions reductions from emissions units subject to RP, actual visibility improvement in 2018 is expected to be better than the uniform rates of 

progress; i.e., the glidepaths are expected to be achieved in 2018 without 

further emissions reductions from RP emissions sources. 

• EPA's May 25,2012, proposed rule regarding Florida's RHR SIP noted that 

state RPGs are not mandatory emissions standards that must be achieved by 

a particular date. The S02emissions rates proposed as RP for SGS Units 1 

and 2 reflect top-level controls and will be achieved no later than March 1, 

2016, and possibly as early as 2014 depending on the selected control strategy. The 2014 and 2016 compliance dates are 4 and 2 years, respectively, 

prior to the end of first 10-year RHR implementation period in 2018. 

• Removal of petroleum coke as an authorized fuel for SGS Units 1 and 2 will 

reduce the potential S02loading to the FGD control systems resulting in 

lower potential outlet S02emissions rates. 

In addition, SGS Units 1 and 2 are also subject to the recently adopted National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for coal-fired steam EGUs codified as 

40 CFR 63, SUbpart UUUUU. This rule, also known as the Mercury and Air Toxics 

Standards (MATS) or Utility MACT, was issued with an effective date of April 16, 2012, 

and requires the installation of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). For 

existing EGUs, MATS contains alternative, surrogate emissions limits for PM and 

S02with a compliance deadline of Apri116, 2015. As stated in 40 CFR 51, Appendix Y: 

"We believe that, in many cases, it will be unlikely that states will identify 

emissions controls more stringent than the MACT standards without identifying control options that would cost many thousands of dollars per ton. 

Unless there are new technologies subsequent to the MACT standards 

which would lead to cost-effective increases in the level of control, you 

may rely on the MACT standards for purposes of BART." 

The reasoning described herein for BART is also applicable to RP review since the two 

technology reviews are essentially the same. 

In summary, SECI requests that FDEP determine the S02emissions limit or 95-percent 

FGD removal, and the implementation schedule proposed for SGS Units 1 and 2

REASONABLE PROGRESS ANALYSIS 

LAKELAND ELECTRIC – C. D. MCINTOSH, JR. POWER PLANT – UNIT 3 

INTRODUCTION 

This submission is made in a cooperative effort to address regional haze rule (RHR) implementation 

issues resulting from recent regulatory developments related to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA’s) Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and its successor, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR). CSAPR is currently stayed, and CAIR remains in effect, pending judicial review of CSAPR. 

Depending on the court’s decision on CSAPR, Lakeland Electric may revisit, revise or withdraw this 

analysis and proposal. 

Regional haze is visibility impairment caused by the cumulative air pollutant emissions from numerous 

sources over a wide geographic area. EPA’s regional haze regulations are contained in Title 40, Part 51 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 51). EPA promulgated the RHR on July 1, 1999. Under 

Section 51.308(d)(1) of the RHR, states must “establish goals (expressed in deciviews) that provide for 

reasonable progress (RP) towards achieving natural visibility conditions” for each Class I area within a 

state. These reasonable progress goals (RPGs) must provide for an improvement in visibility for the most 

impaired days over the period of the implementation plan and ensure no degradation in visibility for the 

least impaired days over the same period. 

RPGs are interim goals and are to be established for the final year in each planning period, which is 2018 

for the first planning period. The interim goals represent incremental visibility improvement over time 

toward the goal of natural background conditions. In determining what would constitute reasonable 

progress towards achieving natural visibility conditions, Section 169A(g) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires states to consider the following four factors: 

 The costs of compliance 

 The time necessary for compliance 

 The energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance 

 The remaining useful life of existing sources that contribute to visibility impairment 

In addition, states must submit a state implementation plan (SIP) and demonstrate in their SIPs how 

these four factors are taken into consideration in selecting the RPG for each Class I area in the state. 

As part of this demonstration, states must consider the rate of progress needed to reach natural visibility 

conditions by 2064. This consideration is referred to as the “uniform rate of progress” or the “glidepath”. 

Regulations implementing these RPG requirements have been promulgated in 40 CFR 51, Subpart P –

Protection of Visibility. Section 51.308 specifically addresses the regional haze program requirements. 

EPA has developed guidance for implementing the RPG requirements – reference “Guidance for Setting 

Reasonable Progress Goals Under the Regional Haze Program” revised June 1, 2007.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) draft Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class I 

Areas (RH Plan) submitted to the EPA on April 13, 2012 indicates that RP for Florida emission sources 

will be confined to sulfur dioxide (SO2), since reductions in emissions of this pollutant will provide the 

greatest benefit to visibility improvement. The FDEP RH Plan also identifies the specific Florida emission 

units that FDEP has determined are subject to RP review. The selection of Florida emission units subject 

to RP review was based on the ratio of 2002 SO2 annual emissions (Q in tons) and distance (D in 

kilometers) from a Class I area. If the Q/D ratio is 50 or greater, the emission source was considered to 

have a significant impact on visibility impairment and therefore to be subject to RP review. On May 25, 

2012, EPA proposed to approve FDEP’s analysis regarding the pollutants and source categories that 

most contribute to visibility impairment in Class I areas [i.e., to focus solely on SO2 and industrial point 

sources of SO2 emissions including electrical generating units (EGUs) and non-EGUs], and FDEP’s 

methodology for prioritizing the most significant contributors to regional haze (i.e., use of a Q/D ratio > 50). 

In its RH Plan, FDEP states that the Lakeland Electric McIntosh Unit 3 had a Q/D ratio greater than 50 for 

the Chassahowitzka PSD Class I Area. 

The RP analysis for McIntosh Unit 3 is presented in the following sections. 

RP ANALYSIS FOR MCINTOSH UNIT 3 

Based on EPA’s “Guidance for Setting Reasonable Progress Goals Under the Regional Haze Program”, 

there are four statutory factors as previously identified that can be applied to a stationary source to 

evaluate potential emission control measures and the level of control that can be applied to the source to 

meet the visibility goals under the RPG. 

Unit 3 at the McIntosh Plant is a nominal 364-megawatt (MW) fossil fuel-fired steam generator, which may 

burn coal, low sulfur fuel oil with maximum 0.5 percent sulfur by weight, coal with up to 20 percent 

petroleum coke (based on weight), high sulfur fuel oil (> 0.5 percent sulfur by weight), and natural gas or 

propane alone or in combination with any of the other fuels or fuel combinations. The maximum heat 

input rate is 3,640 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr). Unit 3 is currently subject to the SO2

emissions limitations contained in Final Title V Permit No. 1050004-31-AV. 

Sulfur compounds are produced in coal-fired boilers by the combustion process in which complete 

oxidation of the fuel-bound sulfur occurs, forming primarily SO2, with smaller quantities of sulfur trioxide 

(SO3). The amount of SO2 emissions is directly proportional to the sulfur and sulfate content in the fuel. 

Reducing SO2 emissions by boiler modification is not feasible because combustion processes do not 

affect SO2 emissions. Generally, complete oxidation of sulfur in fuel is readily achieved before complete 

combustion of carbon, the most abundant element in fossil fuel. For pulverized coal-fired utility boilers, 

SO2 emission reduction is typically accomplished by treating the post-combustion flue gas with a flue gas 

desulfurization (FGD) process.

Standard FGD processes for pulverized coal-fired boilers are back-end equipment of either the wet or dry 

type; these are often referred to as wet and dry scrubbing, respectively. Since the early 1970s, FGD has 

been used extensively in the United States to control SO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. 

Indeed, the use of FGD systems was, in effect, mandated for pulverized coal-fired power plants with the 

promulgation of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for electric utility steam generating units 

(i.e., 40 CFR 60, Subpart Da), which required minimum reductions between 70 and 90 percent in the 

potential combustion concentration of SO2. The most widely used systems for large-scale SO2 removal 

are the calcium-based wet lime/limestone FGD systems that are recognized to have the highest levels of 

control. Worldwide, there are over 200,000 MW of installed wet limestone FGD systems, which represent 

about 80 percent of FGD systems. New wet FGD systems are capable of removing 95 to 98 percent of 

SO2 and have been accepted as Best Available Control Technology (BACT). 

Unit 3 is currently equipped with a wet limestone FGD system to control SO2 emissions. Unit 3 is subject to 

NSPS Subpart D, which has no minimum SO2 reduction requirements. However, the current Title V permit 

requires a 65 percent reduction in SO2 when the emissions are less than 0.75 pound per million British 

thermal units (lb/MMBtu) and a 90 percent reduction when emissions are greater than 0.75 lb/MMBtu. 

Based on the actual SO2 emissions reported in 2002, the FGD system reduced SO2 emissions by 

81 percent. The scrubber is of a tray tower type consisting of two absorber modules. Each module 

provides approximately 55 percent capacity of total unit output. The components of the scrubbing system 

are listed below: 

Quencher – Flue gases exiting the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) enter the quenchers for each 

absorber, which condition the flue gas. Each absorber has a venturi-type quencher with a throat 

27 feet long and 5 feet wide. The quench water is recirculated from the quencher sump. 

Absorber Tray Tower – After adiabatic saturation in the quencher, the gases pass up through the 

tray tower absorber for SO2 removal. The limestone slurry is introduced at the top of the tray 

absorber from a series of spray headers. The flow is countercurrent through the 36-foot-wide 

(diameter) absorber. 

Demister – Before exiting the absorber, aerosols in the flue gas are removed in a Z-shaped demister 

made from reinforced fiberglass material. 

Associated Equipment – Supporting the operation of the scrubber are the following equipment: 

absorber recirculation tank, quencher recirculation tank, and quencher and absorber recirculation 

pumps. The scrubber is equipped with a hot air reheat system (steam coil) and a bypass flue. The 

latter bypasses flue gases around the absorber system and mixes with air exiting the absorber tower. 

This increases the exit gas temperatures. A continuous emission monitoring system is installed to 

assure compliance with the SO2 emission limit.

Additional equipment/processes supporting the scrubber system include limestone storage and handling, 

limestone slurry preparation system, slurry storage and transfer system, FGD blowdown, and gypsum 

dewatering, transfer, and storage. 

Unit 3 is currently subject to the following SO2 emissions limitations as summarized below (see Final Title V 

Permit No. 1050004-31-AV for detailed description of emission limits and compliance conditions): 

 0.80 lb/MMBtu for liquid fossil-fuel firing (3-hour, 40 CFR 60 Subpart D) 

 1.20 lb/MMBtu for solid fossil-fuel firing (3-hour, 40 CFR 60 Subpart D) 

 0.718 lb/MMBtu for blends of petcoke and any other fuels (30-day rolling average) 

 Whenever coal or blends of coal and petroleum coke or refuse are burned, SO2 gases 

discharged to the atmosphere from the boiler shall not exceed 10 percent of the potential 

combustion concentration (90 percent reduction), or 35 percent of the potential combustion 

concentration (65 percent reduction) when emissions are less than 0.75 lb/MMBtu heat 

input (30-day rolling average) 

These SO2 emission limits were established as BACT. Continuous burning of natural gas, low sulfur fuel 

oil, or combinations of these two fuels are allowed with or without the use of the FGD system. If the FGD 

system malfunctions or if the coal feed is interrupted due to equipment malfunction, the SO2 emissions 

limit of 0.8 lb/MMBtu can be achieved by firing high sulfur fuel oil (3-hour average). 

Based on the Annual Operating Report (AOR) for the most recent 5-year period, more than 95 percent of 

the total heat content is due to bituminous coal firing. Lakeland Electric currently buys coal from the 

Appalachian region, which is delivered via railcar. Based on AOR data, the actual sulfur content of the 

coal used in Unit 3 averages in the range between 1.2 and 1.4 percent with higher sulfur (>1.9 percent) 

content depending upon source/delivery. 

The RP analysis requires consideration of four factors that include the costs of compliance, the time 

necessary for compliance, the energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance, and the 

remaining useful life of existing sources that contribute to visibility impairment. These factors are 

addressed in the following sections. 

FACTOR 1 – COSTS OF COMPLIANCE 

The first factor to take into consideration is the “costs of compliance”. EPA’s guidance for RP suggested 

three factors to consider in assessing compliance costs: 

a) Identify the emissions units to be controlled 

b) Identify the design parameters for emissions controls 

c) Develop cost estimates based upon those design parameters

As described above, McIntosh Unit 3 has a wet-FGD system that was designed to achieve SO2 removal. 

To achieve greater SO2 reductions from Unit 3, the following options are available: 

1) Lower sulfur content of fuel such as coal, which typically has the highest sulfur content among the 

fuels authorized for Unit 3; or 

2) Modification of the existing FGD system to achieve additional SO2 control; or

3) Replacement of the current FGD system with units designed to achieve 95 to 98 percent SO2

removal. 

Among the authorized fuels for Unit 3, petcoke has the highest sulfur content, an average of 3.9 percent 

by weight. Bituminous coal, with an average of 1.8 percent sulfur, is the fuel with next highest sulfur 

content. Lakeland Electric is authorized to burn up to 20 percent petcoke by weight with bituminous coal 

and as a result, the average sulfur content of the combined fuel (coal and petcoke) can be as high as 

3.48 percent (80 percent coal with 1.8 percent sulfur and 20 percent petcoke with 3.9 percent sulfur) due 

to the high sulfur content of petcoke. Based on the AOR for the most recent 5-year period, more than 

95 percent of the total heat content is due to bituminous coal firing. Since coal is the most used fuel for 

Unit 3, petcoke (20 percent of coal) can contribute significantly to the total SO2 emissions from the unit. 

Lakeland Electric believes that curtailing petcoke firing is the most cost effective solution to reduce the 

sulfur content of fuel burned in Unit 3. It is estimated that 67 lb of SO2 will be reduced for every ton of 

coal burned instead of combined coal and petcoke (difference between 3.48 percent sulfur and 1.8 percent 

sulfur in 1 ton of fuel).

The existing FGD system is a 30-year old Babcock & Wilcox design and is not designed to achieve 95 to 

98 percent SO2 removal without significant major upgrades in the existing equipment. Based on very 

preliminary assessment, the removal efficiency of the FGD system may be increased to a maximum of

95 percent with equipment improvements involving the existing FGD absorbers, slurry systems, additive 

systems, reheat systems, and stack(s), which may cost as much as $25 million (Lakeland Electric estimate). 

A detailed engineering study will be needed to properly assess the cost of such an improvement. For 

example, a new landfill might be required since the solid waste disposal rate will increase with additional 

SO2 absorption. If dibasic acid is used in the scrubber to achieve higher removal efficiency, the issue of 

specific waste water treatment procedure will need to be addressed since the waste water will have 

dibasic acid in it. It should also be noted that such a modification will require Unit 3 to be offline for 

approximately 25 to 30 days. However, as discussed in more detail in Factor 2, Lakeland Electric will be 

evaluating acid gas control options for complying with Utility MACT (40 CFR 63 Subpart UUUUU). 

An additional/replacement wet-FGD system designed to achieve 95 to 98 percent SO2 removal would 

achieve the highest level of SO2 control while Unit 3 remains operating and available to provide electric 

power to its customers. 

To develop a cost of a replacement wet-FGD system, information developed for the recent CSAPR was 

used. Capital, fixed operation and maintenance (O&M), and variable O&M are available on a dollar per

kilowatt basis as part of EPA’s Integrated Planning Model (IPM) Base Case v. 4.10 (September 1, 2010) 

for Transport Rule; Documentation; Chapter 5, Emission Control Technologies. These costs models were 

developed by engineering contractors such as Sargent & Lundy for the wet-FGD cost model as well as 

other control technologies. Additionally, cost factors and methodology from the EPA Cost Control Manual 

were used to develop annualized costs not included in the EPA IPM cost model. 

Table 1 presents the estimated costs and cost effectiveness for an additional/replacement wet-FGD for 

Unit 3 to achieve a SO2 removal of 98 percent, the highest level of control. The annualized cost was 

based on the amount of historical operation in baseline year of 2002 and is estimated to be about 

$36.3 million. The compliance target was an emission rate of 0.063 lb/MMBtu, which is equivalent to 

98 percent SO2 removal based on 2002 operation, the basis of the FDEP baseline emissions. The cost 

effectiveness of about $5,804 per ton of SO2 removed was estimated using a reduction from the 2002 

baseline year and an emission rate of 0.063 lb/MMBtu. It should be recognized that the estimated costs 

are neither specific to the McIntosh Power Plant nor the layout of Unit 3. It may not be possible to install 

add-on SO2 equipment given the spatial constraints at the site. Notwithstanding, the cost effectiveness is 

extremely high and unreasonable for McIntosh Unit 3, given that Unit 3 already has a wet-FGD system. 

FACTOR 2 – TIME NECESSARY FOR COMPLIANCE 

McIntosh Unit 3 already has operating wet-FGD systems that are generally considered the highest level 

of control. Unit 3 is also subject to the recently adopted National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAPS) for coal-fired EGUs codified as 40 CFR 63, Subpart UUUUU. This rule, also 

known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) or Utility MACT, was issued with an effective 

date of April 16, 2012, and requires the installation of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). 

For existing EGUs, MATS contains an alternative, surrogate emission limit for SO2 of 0.2 lb/MMBtu. The 

compliance deadline for this rule is April 16, 2015, with the possibility of two 1-year extensions. Unit 3 will 

comply with the Utility MACT in part using the existing FGD systems by the applicable compliance date. 

From the perspective of the time necessary for compliance, Unit 3 will comply with MACT emission limits. 

Lakeland Electric is currently evaluating a MATS compliance strategy which will be identified in the next 

12 to 16 months. This strategy will provide options for MATS compliance that would lead to MATS 

compliance by the “compliance date” and ultimately achieve the RP for Unit 3. In addition, depending on 

the MACT compliance option(s) selected, unit operation may be curtailed temporarily to install/implement 

the option(s), although Lakeland Electric will take measures to minimize any such lost generation. 

In contrast, the construction of additional/replacement wet-FGD to achieve comparable emissions will not 

have any advantage over the requirements in the Utility MACT rule. An additional/replacement wet-FGD 

system will at best take over 3 years to design, fabricate, and construct. An estimated schedule is 

presented below assuming a July 1, 2012 start date, which is highly unlikely due to the magnitude of the 

approvals and financing required to implement such a major project. This schedule was developed from 

experience with four major wet-FGD refit projects in the mid-2000s on large coal-fired units. Assuming a

start date of July 1, 2012, additional add-on controls could not be operational before mid-2015. More 

likely, such a major project could not be started before mid-2013, bringing the operation date clearly beyond 

the compliance date for the MACT standards. Clearly, the implementation of the Utility MACT standards 

by April 2015 for Unit 3 accomplishes the RPG desired by FDEP and required by EPA regulations.

FACTOR 3 – ENERGY AND NON-AIR QUALITY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 

The energy and non-air quality impacts associated with an additional/replacement wet-FGD system include 

additional limestone usage, disposal of FGD byproducts, increased water use, and additional energy. 

Wet-FGD requires about 3 percent of the energy of the unit for auxiliary power and backpressure. This is 

about 1.09 MW per ton of SO2 removed. The additional energy required to meet 0.063 lb/MMBtu with the 

reduction estimated using the 2002 baseline emissions is 6,822 megawatt-hours (MWh). 

For each ton of SO2 removed, about 1.05 tons of limestone are required due to the reactivity and losses 

in the system. Approximately 2.34 tons of FGD byproducts are produced per ton of SO2 removed. For 

the estimated SO2 removed based on 2002 emissions, an additional 6,572 tons of limestone would be 

required and 14,646 tons of byproducts generated. Additional process water would also be required and 

is estimated to be 50 gallons per ton of SO2 removed. Based on the SO2 removed from the 2002 

emissions, about 312,953 gallons of additional water would be required. These additional impacts do not 

support an additional/replacement wet-FGD system. 

FACTOR 4 – REMAINING USEFUL LIFE 

Although there are no current plans for retirement, it was assumed that Unit 3 will remain in service for at 

least another 20 years for the purposes of the economic assumptions and cost estimates presented in 

Table 1. Unit 3 initially started operation in September 1982.

RP DETERMINATION 

McIntosh Unit 3 has the pollution control technology generally recognized as achieving the highest level 

of control and must meet the Utility MACT standards by 2015. Adding a new wet FGD system is cost 

prohibitive and an exact cost of modification for the existing wet FGD system is unknown without a 

detailed engineering study, which may also be cost prohibitive. As a result, reduction of fuel sulfur in the 

form of curtailing petcoke firing is considered as RP at this time. Significant reduction in SO2 emissions is 

possible by not firing petcoke in Unit 3 and Lakeland Electric proposes to stop all future use of petcoke for 

Unit 3. 

This determination is all the more reasonable based on the fact that this Class I Area is already achieving 

the “glidepath” for purposes of RPGs. Specifically, the RH Plan prepared by FDEP included analyses that 

predict visibility in the PSD Class I Area to be on the “glidepath” for reasonable further progress in 2018 

(FDEP, 2012; Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class I Areas, Pre-Hearing Draft, April 13, 2012, 

Figure 7.2.4-7), without accounting for any additional reduction for Unit 3. Accordingly, the FDEP analysis 

demonstrates that further SO2 reduction for Unit 3 beyond that achieved by the existing wet FGD system 

is neither reasonable nor appropriate for purposes of meeting FDEP’s RPGs.

In addition, as described above, McIntosh Unit 3 will be required to comply with the Utility MACT 

standards. To meet these standards, the use of the existing wet-FGD systems will be required that will 

concomitantly lower emissions of SO2 emissions and further the efforts to improve visibility in 

Chassahowitzka PSD Class I Area. Indeed, as stated in 40 CFR 51, Appendix Y: 

“We believe that, in many cases, it will be unlikely that States will identify emission controls 

more stringent than the MACT standards without identifying control options that would cost 

many thousands of dollars per ton. Unless there are new technologies subsequent to the 

MACT standards which would lead to cost-effective increases in the level of control, you may 

rely on the MACT standards for purposes of BART.”

REASONABLE PROGRESS ANALYSIS 

ST. JOHNS RIVER POWER PARK UNITS 1 AND 2 

INTRODUCTION 

This submission is made in a cooperative effort to address regional haze rule (RHR) implementation 

issues resulting from recent regulatory developments related to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA’s) Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and its successor, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR). CSAPR is currently stayed, and CAIR remains in effect, pending judicial review of CSAPR. 

Depending on the court’s decision on CSAPR, JEA may revisit, revise or withdraw this analysis and 

proposal. 

Regional haze is visibility impairment caused by the cumulative air pollutant emissions from numerous 

sources over a wide geographic area. EPA’s regional haze regulations are contained in Title 40, Part 51 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 51). EPA promulgated the RHR on July 1, 1999. Under 

Section 51.308(d)(1) of the RHR, states must “establish goals (expressed in deciviews) that provide for 

reasonable progress (RP) towards achieving natural visibility conditions” for each Class I area within a 

state. These reasonable progress goals (RPGs) must provide for an improvement in visibility for the most 

impaired days over the period of the implementation plan and ensure no degradation in visibility for the 

least impaired days over the same period. 

RPGs are interim goals and are to be established for the final year in each planning period, which is 2018 

for the first planning period. The interim goals represent incremental visibility improvement over time 

toward the goal of natural background conditions. In determining what would constitute reasonable 

progress towards achieving natural visibility conditions, Section 169A(g) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires states to consider the following four factors: 

 The costs of compliance 

 The time necessary for compliance 

 The energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance 

 The remaining useful life of existing sources that contribute to visibility impairment 

In addition, states must submit a state implementation plan (SIP) and demonstrate in their SIPs how 

these four factors are taken into consideration in selecting the RPG for each Class I area in the state. 

As part of this demonstration, states must consider the rate of progress needed to reach natural visibility 

conditions by 2064. This consideration is referred to as the “uniform rate of progress” or the “glidepath”. 

Regulations implementing these RPG requirements have been promulgated in 40 CFR 51, Subpart P –

Protection of Visibility. Section 51.308 specifically addresses the regional haze program requirements. 

EPA has developed guidance for implementing the RPG requirements – reference “Guidance for Setting 

Reasonable Progress Goals Under the Regional Haze Program” revised June 1, 2007.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) draft Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class I 

Areas (RH Plan) submitted to the EPA on April 13, 2012 indicates that RP for Florida emission sources 

will be confined to sulfur dioxide (SO2) since reductions in emissions of this pollutant will provide the 

greatest benefit to visibility improvement. The FDEP RH Plan also identifies the specific Florida emission 

units that FDEP has determined are subject to RP review. The selection of Florida emission units subject 

to RP review was based on the ratio of 2002 SO2 annual emissions (Q in tons) and distance (D in 

kilometers) from a Class I area. If the Q/D ratio is 50 or greater, the emission source was considered to 

have a significant impact on visibility impairment and therefore subject to RP review. On May 25, 2012, 

EPA proposed to approve FDEP’s analysis regarding the pollutants and source categories that most 

contribute to visibility impairment in Class I areas [i.e., to focus solely on SO2 and industrial point sources 

of SO2 emissions including electrical generating units (EGUs) and non-EGUs], and FDEP’s methodology 

for prioritizing the most significant contributors to regional haze (i.e., use of a Q/D ratio > 50). In its RH 

Plan, FDEP states that SJRPP Units 1 and 2 had a Q/D ratio greater than 50 for the Okefenokee and 

Chassahowitzka Class I areas. 

The RP analysis for SJRPP Units 1 and 2 is presented in the following sections. 

RP ANALYSIS FOR SJRPP UNITS 1 AND 2 

Based on EPA’s “Guidance for Setting Reasonable Progress Goals Under the Regional Haze Program”, 

there are four statutory factors as previously identified that can be applied to a stationary source to 

evaluate potential emission control measures and the level of control that can be applied to the source to 

meet the visibility goals under the RPG. 

SJRPP Units 1 and 2 are nominal 632 megawatt (MW) fossil fuel-fired steam generators, which may burn 

coal, coal with up to 30 percent petroleum coke (based on weight), new No. 2 fuel oil, and natural gas. 

The maximum heat input rate is 6,144 million Btu per hour (MMBtu/hr) per unit. Units 1 and 2 are 

equipped with a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system to control SO2 emissions. SJRPP is authorized to 

utilize solid fuel (coal and pet coke) with a sulfur content up to 4 percent. Units 1 and 2 are currently 

subject to the SO2 emissions limitations contained in Final Title V Permit No. 0310045-030-AV. 

Sulfur compounds are produced in coal-fired boilers by the combustion process in which complete 

oxidation of the fuel-bound sulfur occurs, forming primarily SO2, with smaller quantities of sulfur trioxide 

(SO3). The amount of SO2 emissions is directly proportional to the sulfur and sulfate content in the fuel. 

Reducing SO2 emissions by boiler modification is not feasible because combustion processes do not 

affect SO2 emissions. Generally, complete oxidation of sulfur in fuel is readily achieved before complete 

combustion of carbon, the most abundant element in fossil fuel. For pulverized coal-fired utility boilers, 

SO2 emission reduction is typically accomplished by treating the post-combustion flue gas with a FGD 

process.

Standard FGD processes for pulverized coal-fired boilers are back-end equipment of either the wet or dry 

type; these are often referred to as wet and dry scrubbing, respectively. Since the early 1970s, FGD has 

been used extensively in the United States to control SO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. 

Indeed, the use of FGD systems was, in effect, mandated for pulverized coal-fired power plants with the 

promulgation of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for electric utility steam generating units 

(i.e., 40 CFR 60, Subpart Da), which required minimum reductions between 70 and 90 percent in the 

potential combustion concentration of SO2. The most widely used system for large-scale SO2 removal is 

the calcium-based wet lime/limestone FGD systems that are recognized to have the highest levels of 

control. Worldwide, there are over 200,000 MW of installed wet limestone FGD systems, which represent 

about 80 percent of FGD systems. New wet FGD systems are capable of removing 95 to 98 percent of 

SO2 and have been accepted as Best Available Control Technology (BACT) as the highest level of control. 

Units 1 and 2 are currently equipped with wet limestone FGD systems to control SO2 emissions. The 

FGD systems are capable of up to 90 percent reduction in SO2 emissions with a maximum SO2 emission 

rate of 0.76 pound per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu) using the worst case fuel. The scrubbers 

are of a tray tower type consisting of three absorber modules. Each module provides a 50-percent 

capacity of total unit output. The components of the scrubbing system are listed below: 

Quencher – Flue gases exiting the ESP enter the venturi-type quenchers for each absorber, which 

condition the flue gas. The quench water is recirculated from the quencher sump. 

Absorber Tower – After adiabatic saturation in the quencher, the gases pass up through the absorber 

tower(s) for SO2 removal. The limestone slurry is introduced at the top of the tray absorber from a series 

of spray headers. The flow is countercurrent through the absorber. 

Demister – Before exiting the absorber, aerosols in the flue gas are removed in a demister made from 

reinforced fiberglass material. 

Associated Equipment – Supporting the operation of the scrubbers are the following equipment: 

absorber recirculation tank, quencher recirculation tank, and quencher and absorber recirculation pumps. 

The scrubber is equipped with a bypass flue. The latter bypasses flue gases around the absorber system 

and mixes with air exiting the absorber tower. This increases the exit gas temperatures and allows 

discharge through a non-lined stack. A continuous emission monitoring system is installed to assure 

compliance with the SO2 emission limit. 

Additional equipment/processes supporting the scrubber system include limestone storage and handling, 

limestone slurry preparation system, slurry storage and transfer system, FGD blowdown, and gypsum 

dewatering, transfer, and storage. 

The RP analysis requires consideration of four factors that include the costs of compliance, the time 

necessary for compliance, the energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance, and the

remaining useful life of existing sources that contribute to visibility impairment. SJRPP currently uses wet 

limestone FGD that is considered to achieve the greatest reduction in SO2 removal for coal-fired 

generating units. The SO2 emission limits for coal firing are (refer to Conditions C.13, C.14 and C.15 of 

Final Title V Permit No. 0310045-030-AV for all authorized SO2 emission limits for SJRPP): 

 1.20 lb/MMBtu heat input maximum 2-hour average and 0.76 lb/MMBtu heat input with 

90% reduction of the potential combustion concentration, 30-day rolling average and 

4,669 pounds per hour, or 

 30% of the potential combustion concentration (70% reduction), when emission are less 

than 0.60 lb/MMBtu heat input. 

 100% of the potential combustion concentration (0% reduction), when emission are less 

than 0.20 lb/MMBtu heat input. 

 SO2 emissions shall be controlled with a lime/limestone FGD system on each boiler. 

FACTOR 1 – COSTS OF COMPLIANCE 

The first factor to take into consideration is the “costs of compliance”. EPA’s guidance for RP suggested 

three factors to consider in assessing compliance costs: 

a) Identify the emissions units to be controlled 

b) Identify the design parameters for emissions controls 

c) Develop cost estimates based upon those design parameters 

As described above, SJRPP Units 1 and 2 have a wet-FGD system that was designed to achieve 

90 percent SO2 removal using up to 4 percent sulfur coal. To achieve greater SO2 reductions from the 

current equipment would require either add-on SO2 controls after the existing equipment or a replacement 

of the current FGD system with units designed to achieve 95 to 98 percent or greater SO2 removal. The 

existing FGD systems are not designed to achieve 95 to 98 percent SO2 removal without significant major 

upgrades in the existing equipment (e.g., absorber redesign to increase liquid to air ratio, construction of 

new wet stack, etc.). As a result, an additional/replacement wet-FGD system designed to achieve a total 

removal of 95 to 98 percent SO2 removal would achieve the highest level of SO2 control while Units 1 and 

2 remain operating and available to provide electric power to its customers. 

Wet-FGD has been a widely available control technology for SO2 removal over the last 30 years. To 

develop a cost of a replacement wet-FGD, information developed for the recent CSAPR was used. 

Capital, fixed operation and maintenance (O&M), and variable O&M are available on a dollar per kilowatt 

basis as part of EPA’s Integrated Planning Model (IPM) Base Case v. 4.10 (September 1, 2010) for 

Transport Rule; Documentation; Chapter 5. Emission Control Technologies. These costs models were 

developed by engineering contractors such as Sargent & Lundy for the wet-FGD cost model as well as 

other control technologies. Additionally, cost factors from the EPA Cost Control Manual were used to 

costs not included in the EPA IPM cost model. EPA’s “Guidance for Setting Reasonable Progress Goals 

Under the Regional Haze Program” suggests that costs should be evaluated and cost estimates should

be based on EPA’s Air Pollution Control Cost Manual. Annualized costs were developed using the 

methodology in the EPA Cost Control Manual. 

Table 1 presents the estimated costs and cost effectiveness for an additional/replacement wet-FGD for 

either SJRPP Units 1 or 2 to achieve an SO2 removal of 98 percent, the highest level of control. Units 1 

and 2 are identically designed units in close proximity that have a similar influence on visibility to Class I 

Areas. The annualized cost was based on the amount of historical operation in baseline year of 2002 and 

is estimated to be about $59.7 million. The cost effectiveness was determined against one half of the 

2002 SO2 emissions since both Units 1 and 2 are identically designed. The compliance target was an 

emission rate of 0.053 lb/MMBtu, which is equivalent to 98 percent SO2 removal based on 2002 operation, 

the basis of the FDEP baseline emissions. The cost effectiveness of about $6,383 per ton of SO2

removed was estimated using a reduction from the 2002 baseline year and an emission rate of 

0.053 lb/MMBtu. To contrast the cost effectiveness from this baseline year, the cost effectiveness using 

the emissions for the latest year, 2011, was estimated. As shown in the table, the cost effectiveness from 

the SO2 emissions in 2011 was estimated to be $11,921 per ton of SO2 removed. It should be recognized 

that the estimated costs are neither specific to SJRPP nor the layout of Units 1 nor 2. It may not be 

possible to install add-on SO2 equipment given the spatial constraints at the site. Notwithstanding, these 

cost effectiveness numbers are extremely high and considered unreasonable for SJRPP Units 1 and 2, 

which already have wet-FGD systems. 

Increasing the existing SO2 removal efficiency of the FGD system is possible with equipment improvements 

involving the existing FGD absorbers, slurry systems, additive systems, reheat systems, and stack(s). 

The capital costs for the potential improvements are likely in the range of $10 million to $30 million per 

unit. In conjunction with the equipment improvements, operating costs for increased SO2 removal will 

include fixed and variable operating costs from about $3 million per year per unit to over $4.5 million per 

year per unit. Depending upon the options selected, up to an additional 5 percent SO2 removal is 

possible. An engineering study has commenced that will include an evaluation of the sulfur content for 

the various range of fuels authorized for SJRPP and refine these very preliminary cost estimates. 

However, as discussed in more detail in Factor 2, SJRPP will be evaluating control options for complying 

with Utility MACT (40 CFR 63 Subpart UUUUU). 

FACTOR 2 – TIME NECESSARY FOR COMPLIANCE 

SJRPP Units 1 and 2 already have operating wet-FGD systems that are generally considered the highest 

level of control. Units 1 and 2 are also subject to the recently adopted National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) for coal-fired EGUs codified as 40 CFR 63 Subpart UUUUU. This 

rule, also known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) or Utility MACT, was issued with an 

effective date of April 16, 2012 and requires the installation of maximum achievable control technology 

(MACT). For existing EGUs, MATS contains an alternative, surrogate emission limit for SO2 of 

0.2 lb/MMBtu. The compliance deadline for this rule is April 16, 2015, with the possibility of two 1-year 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 924 of 1157
June 2012 6 123-87608 

Y:\Projects\2012\123-87608 JEA\SJRPP RP\Rev final 1\SJRPP RP.docx 

extensions. Units 1 and 2 will comply with the EGU MACT in part using the existing FGD systems by the 

compliance date. From the perspective of the time necessary for compliance, SJRPP Units 1 and 2 will 

comply with MACT emission limits. SJRPP is currently evaluating a MATS compliance strategy which will 

be identified in the next 12 to 16 months. This strategy will provide options for MATS compliance that would 

lead to MATS compliance by the “compliance date” and ultimately achieve the RP for SJRPP Units 1 and 2. 

In addition, depending on the MACT compliance option(s) selected, unit operation may be curtailed 

temporarily to install/implement the option(s), although JEA will take measures to minimize any such lost 

generation. 

The construction of additional/replacement wet-FGD to achieve comparable emissions will not have any 

advantage over the requirements in the Utility MACT rule. An additional/replacement wet-FGD will at best 

take over 3 years to design, fabricate, and construct. An estimated schedule is presented below assuming 

a July 1, 2012 start date that is highly unlikely due to the magnitude of the approvals and financing 

required to implement such a major project. This schedule was developed from experience with four 

major wet-FGD refit projects in the mid-2000s on large coal fired units. Assuming a start date of July 1, 

2012 additional add-on controls could not be operational before mid-2015. More likely, such a major 

project could not be started before mid-2013, bringing the operation date clearly beyond the compliance 

date for the MACT standards. Clearly, the implementation of the Utility MACT standards by April 2015 for 

SJRPP Units 1 and 2 accomplishes the RPG desired by FDEP and required by EPA regulations.

FACTOR 3 – ENERGY AND NON-AIR QUALITY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 

The energy and non-air quality impacts associated with an additional/replacement wet-FGD system 

includes additional limestone usage, disposal of FGD byproducts, increased water use, and additional 

energy. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 925 of 1157
June 2012 7 123-87608 

Y:\Projects\2012\123-87608 JEA\SJRPP RP\Rev final 1\SJRPP RP.docx 

Wet-FGD requires about 3 percent of the energy of the unit for auxiliary power and backpressure. This is 

about 1.09 MW per ton of SO2 removed. The additional energy required to meet 98 percent SO2 removal 

from the 2002 baseline emissions is 10,189 MWh. 

For each ton of SO2 removed, about 1.05 tons of limestone is required due to the reactivity and losses in 

the system. Approximately 2.34 tons of FGD byproducts are produced per ton of SO2 removed. For the 

estimated SO2 removed based on 2002 emissions, an additional 9,815 tons of limestone would be 

required and 21,874 tons of byproducts generated. Additional process water would be also be required 

and is estimated to be 50 gallons per ton of SO2 removed. Based on the SO2 removed from the 2002 

emissions, about 467,389 gallons of additional water would be required. These additional impacts do not 

support an additional/replacement wet-FGD system. 

FACTOR 4 – REMAINING USEFUL LIFE 

Although there are no current plans for retirement, SJRPP Units 1 and 2 were assumed to remain in 

service for at least another 20 years for the purposes of the economic assumptions and cost estimates 

presented in Table 1. For reference, Unit 1 initially started operations in December 1986, while Unit 2 

started operations in March 1988. 

RP DETERMINATION 

Given that SJRPP Units 1 and 2 must meet the Utility MACT standards by 2015 and have the pollution 

control technology generally recognized as achieving the highest level of control, the existing SO2

emission limits are considered RP at this time. Wet-FGD technology is capable of reducing annual SO2

emissions below the 2002 baseline evaluated by FDEP, which would therefore provide visibility benefits 

to the relevant Class I Areas. 

This determination is all the more reasonable based on the fact that this Class I Area is already achieving 

the “glidepath” for purposes of RPGs. Specifically, the Regional Haze Plan prepared by FDEP included 

analyses that predict visibility in the Chassahowitzka and Okefenokee Class I Areas to already be on the 

“glidepath” for reasonable further progress in 2018 (FDEP, 2012. Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class I 

Areas, Pre-Hearing Draft, April 13, 2012, Figures 7.2.4-7 and 7.2.4-9), without accounting for any 

additional reductions from SJRPP. Accordingly, the FDEP analysis demonstrates that further SO2

reduction for SJRPP beyond that achieved by the existing wet FGD system is neither reasonable nor 

appropriate for purposes of meeting FDEP’s RPGs.

Installing additional add-on controls would take at a minimum of 3 years due to the need for the continued 

operation of Units 1 and 2. During a construction period for Units 1 and 2, SJRPP would be required to 

continue to supply reliable electric power to its customers. Moreover, the wet-FGD system already 

achieves a high level of SO2 removal that was established as BACT (i.e., a design of 90 percent removal). 

The energy and non-air quality impacts associated with any additional SO2 controls would be additive to 

the energy uses of the existing FGD system. Non-air quality impacts would potentially include increased 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

June 2012 8 123-87608 

Y:\Projects\2012\123-87608 JEA\SJRPP RP\Rev final 1\SJRPP RP.docx 

water use, additional solid wastes, and additional energy usage. Therefore, installing additional SO2

controls would not be cost effective, practicable, or reasonable. SJRPP Units 1 and 2 will remain in 

service and in full compliance with the existing SO2 emission limits using wet FGD. 

In addition, as described above, SJRPP Units 1 and 2 will be required to comply with the Utility MACT 

standards. To meet these standards, the use of the existing wet-FGD systems will be required that will 

concomitantly lower emissions of SO2 emissions and further the efforts to improve visibility at Class I 

Areas. Indeed, as stated in 40 CFR 51, Appendix Y: 

“We believe that, in many cases, it will be unlikely that States will identify emission controls 

more stringent than the MACT standards without identifying control options that would cost 

many thousands of dollars per ton. Unless there are new technologies subsequent to the 

MACT standards which would lead to cost-effective increases in the level of control, you may 

rely on the MACT standards for purposes of BART.”

In conclusion, SJRPP will comply with Utility MACT by the MACT “compliance date” and is implementing 

a study for that purpose.

Section I. Facility Information.

Subsection A. Facility Description.

This facility consists of phosphate rock dryer, truck and railcar unloading operation for

phosphate rock, animal feed ingredient (AFI) and chemicals (MAP, DAP, GTSP),

product storage, and ammonia handling and storage.

The facility can dry phosphate rock using a single dryer firing natural gas or fuel oil. Wet

phosphate rock can be trucked or delivered by railcar to the facility and stored outside

until processed. The dried phosphate rock is stored within enclosed storage silos until

transported off site by ship or barge. The majority of the dry phosphate rock handling

operations are enclosed to control fugitive dust emissions.

Additionally, the terminal does receive dry phosphate rock, AFI and MAP, DAP, GTSP

by railcar and truck. The products can be transferred directly to a shiphold or stored in

silos (rock and AFI) or chemical storage buildings (MAP, DAP, GTSP). This facility is

subject to PM-RACT and the monitoring requirements, along with daily visible emissions

readings, fuel sampling, and annual PM and EPA Method 9 testing, have been determined

by the Agency to satisfy the requirements of 40CFR70.6 and Chapter 62-296, F.A.C.

Also included in this permit are miscellaneous insignificant emissions units and/or

activities.

Based on the initial Title V permit application received June 14, 1996, this facility is not

a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

partially enclosed structure and unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into

six hoppers. Emissions from each hopper are vented to a dry cyclone. Butterfly valves in

the riser pipe routed to each dry cyclone will be used to isolate or shut off air flow to

hoppers not being used. Typically four of the six hoppers are used during unloading

operations. Dry phosphate rock is transferred from the unloading hoppers to conveyor

C17 for subsequent storage in silos via conveyors C19 and C38, or it is transferred for

shiploading via conveyors C18, C12, and C13. Fertilizer products (Diammonium

Phosphate (DAP), Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Animal Feed Ingredient (AFI),

and Granular Triple Superphosphate (GTSP)) are transferred from the unloading hoppers

to conveyor C17 for subsequent shiploading via conveyors C18, C12, and C13.

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading of dry phosphate rock,

MAP, GTSP, and AFI are controlled by six dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM

Amerex Type C Venturi scrubber. Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar

unloading of DAP are controlled by the application of a dust suppressant oil applied to

the product at the chemical processing facility prior to shipping. The scrubber will

operate during the unloading of DAP as needed.

Section I. Facility Information.

Subsection A. Facility Description.

This facility consists of truck and railcar unloading operations, a ship loading operation, silo 

and building storage for phosphate rock, animal feed ingredient (AFI), fertilizer products 

(MAP, DAP, GTSP) and other bulk materials as defined in this permit’s material handling 

list/group description. In addition, the facility operates a marine vessel (stevedoring) loading 

and unloading operation of various bulk materials. 

The facility receives dry phosphate rock, AFI, and fertilizer products by truck or railcar to the 

facility, which is stored within enclosed storage silos or buildings until transported off site by 

ship or barge. The products can also be transferred directly to a shiphold from a truck or 

railcar. The majority of these material handling operations are enclosed and controlled 

through baghouses. The following is a more detailed process of this operation. 

During the railcar unloading operation (EU 002), the railcars are pulled into a partially 

enclosed structure and bottom unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into six 

hoppers. Emissions from the hoppers are vented to dry cyclones. Typically four of the six 

hoppers are used during unloading operations. Material can then transferred from the 

unloading hoppers to conveyor C17 for subsequent storage in silos via conveyors C19 and 

C38 (EU 012), or transferred for ship loading via conveyors C18, C12, C13 and C14. The 

material that will be stored in the silos can be conveyed to the outer silo Nos. 1 – 16 using a 

series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C27, C44, and C28, or to the inner silo Nos. 17 

-23 using a series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C19, C38, and C29. All silos are 

unloaded using Conveyor Belt No. 30 prior to ship loading. 

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading operation are controlled by 

six parallel dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM Amerex Type C Venturi scrubber 

and/or by the application of dust suppressant oil applied to the fertilizer product at the 

chemical processing facility prior to shipping. Particulate matter emissions generated from the 

silo loading are controlled by a 23,100 DSCFM Ducon Venturi Oriclone, VVO, 36/84 scrubber 

located at ground level directly north of the storage silos. 

The facility operation of the various conveyor transfer points include the following; C12 

Transfer Point A (EU 005), C30 Transfer Point C (EU 006), C18 Transfer Point D (EU 007), 

C19 Transfer Point G (EU 009) and C17 Transfer Point E (EU 004). Particulate matter 

emissions generated during these transfer processes are controlled by Mikro-Pulsaire 

baghouses, except for C17 Transfer Point E, which is controlled by a 6000 ACFM Poly-Con, 

Model Venturi 1506MS, scrubber. 

The material handling and storage operation (EU 008) consists of a truck unloading 

station, three storage silos, and a transfer conveyor system. Material is conveyed from 

the truck unloading station to three storage silos using Conveyor Belt No. C92. When the 

material is ready for shiploading, it is unloaded from the silos and conveyed to Conveyor 

Belt No. C12 using Conveyor Belt No. C93, and then conveyed to Conveyor Belt Nos. 

C13, and C14 prior to loading on the ship. Particulate matter emissions generated during 

the loading of any silo are controlled by a common Mikro-Pulsaire baghouse. Particulate

matter emissions from the conveyor transfer point (C93 to C12) and the truck unloading 

station are controlled through the use of partial enclosures. 

Trucks can unload material at the truck unloading Station No. 1. Trucks are driven into a 

partially enclosed structure and unload material through grates in the floor of the structure. The 

materials are dropped onto Conveyor Belt No. C82, which transfers the material from the truck 

unloading Station No. 1 to Conveyor Belt No. C83 (EU 102). This transfer point is entirely 

enclosed. Conveyor Belt No. C83 transfers the material to Conveyor Belt No. C84, which is 

located inside Storage Building No. 3 (EU 103). Inside the building there is a movable tipper 

which allows the storage piles to be placed at different locations within the building. Materials 

are moved within the building with a front end loader, which is also used to transfer the material 

out of the building to a hopper located on the side of the storage building. The hopper feeds 

Conveyor Belt No. C104, which transfers material to Conveyor Belt No. C12, using the C12 

Transfer Point A associated with EU 005. Storage Building No. 3 is solely associated with 

Truck Unloading Station No.1. Particulate matter emissions are controlled through the use of 

dust suppressants (oiling) and enclosures. 

Trucks can also unload material at Station No. 2 (EU 100), where they are driven into a partially 

enclosed structure and unload through grates in the floor of the structure. The material is 

conveyed into three storage silos using a series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C2, C4, 

C7, and C94, and a bucket elevator, No. C3. Conveyor Belt No. C4 can transfer the material to 

either Conveyor Belt No. C7 or C11. Conveyor Belt No. C7 transfers material to Conveyor 

Belt No. C94 which loads the three storage silos associated with EU 008. Conveyor Belt No. 

C11 transfers material to Transfer Point D (EU 007). Conveyor Belt Nos. C4 and C7 are 

completely enclosed in Storage Building Nos. 1 and 2. Material is also stored in the Blackpoint 

Storage Building, located on a Kinder Morgan land parcel west of the Tampaplex facility, 

across the TECO discharge slip. The Blackpoint Storage Building is used to store bagged 

product only. 

The ship loading operation (EU 013) involves the loading of phosphate rock, fertilizer 

products, AFI and/or other bulk material, which can be conveyed either directly from the 

railcar, truck, storage buildings, or from the storage silos to the shiphold using a series of 

conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C12, C13, and C14. A telescopic chute and an OBA 

chokefeeder are used to load the shiphold. Particulate matter emissions generated during the 

shiphold loading operation are controlled by a modified 9,000 DSCFM Mikro-Pulsaire, 

Model 1F2, baghouse and/or a gantry mounted dust suppression system. The dust 

suppression system consists of four spray headers located throughout the gantry using a 

surfactant chemical that is mixed with water. 

Kinder Morgan is also authorized to operate a marine vessel (stevedoring) bulk material 

loading and unloading operation at the Kinder Morgan’s Tampaplex location and at numerous 

berths in Hillsborough County. The stevedoring operation involves the loading and unloading 

of various bulk materials that include fertilizer materials, coal, limestone, granite, bauxite, 

etc., onto and from marine vessels. These materials are divided into different group 

categories.

Tampaplex Terminal Project: Bulk Material Handling 

Page 4 of 38

At the Tampaplex Terminal, material is unloaded from a ship by one of two clamshells. The 

clamshell transfers the material to one of two onshore receiving hoppers. Both hoppers, RH01 and RH-02 (EU 104) are equipped with windshields and water sprays. From the hoppers, 

material is gravity transferred to a belt conveyor, BC-01 (EU 105), and then to a Radial 

Switch Stacker, RS-01 (EU 106). From RS-01, material can be transferred in two directions. 

From RS-01, material is gravity fed to a belt conveyor, PC-01 (EU 107), then to a second 

conveyor belt PC-02 (EU 108), and then to a second Radial Switch Stacker, RS-02 (EU 109). 

From RS-02, material is loaded directly into a truck or stockpiled on the ground (EU 110). A 

front-end loader loads the material into a truck (EU 111) for shipment offsite or for 

transporting the material to the storage areas. 

If material is directed to the dual wing stacker, material from Radial Switch Stacker, RS-01, 

is gravity transferred to a belt conveyor, BC-02 (EU 107), then to a chute, and then to an 

uncovered belt conveyor, BC-03 (EU 108). Material is transferred from BC-03 to a dual 

wing stacker (EU 109) where it is stockpiled (EU 110) in one of two storage areas, the north 

and south storage areas. From the storage areas, a front-end loader loads the material into a 

truck (EU 111) for shipment offsite. 

All conveyor belts and radial stackers have partial enclosures except for Conveyors BC-01 

and BC-03. Conveyor BC-01 has side skirts only because the receiving hoppers can travel 

along the length of the conveyor belt and partial enclosure would hinder the movement of the 

receiving hoppers. Conveyor BC-03 has side skirts at the chute transfer point because it is 

equipped with a moveable dual-wing stacker that travels along the length of the conveyor, 

which prevents the installation of covers or side skirts along that length. All of the conveyors 

and radial stackers are equipped with a water spray system. Certain materials (i.e., bauxite, 

magnetite, etc.), due to their physical nature, cannot be unloaded using the conveyor system. 

To unload these and any other materials in a manner outlined below for offsite operations, the 

clamshell transfers material from the ship directly into a truck or into a receiving hopper and 

into a truck for shipment offsite or for storage. Bauxite is required to be coated with a dust 

suppressant at the first transfer point at the Tampaplex Site. 

In addition the Kinder Morgan Tampaplex site can receive products onto the site from Belted 

Self Unloading Vessels. During this operation the vessel will be equipped with an 

extendable conveyor belt that would transfer product directly onto a storage pile. A front-end 

loader loads the material into a truck for shipment offsite. 

Particulate matter (PM) emissions from these facility operations are controlled by the use of a 

water spray system and partial enclosures, and or dust suppressants. The facility operates a truck 

wheel wash to wash particulate material from truck tires prior to the trucks leaving the site. 

When operating at berths other than the Kinder Morgan’s Tampaplex site, the Stevedoring 

operation operates as follows: 

A maximum of three, portable clamshells used to either load or unload material from a ship are 

mounted to barges and moved to any of the Berths listed below. The clamshells may operate at 

a maximum of three berths simultaneously.

Tampaplex Terminal Project: Bulk Material Handling 

Page 5 of 38

When material is unloaded from ships, material is transferred from the shiphold using one of the 

three clamshells to a portable receiving hopper, then to a truck, and then transported either 

offsite or to a storage pile. The receiving hoppers are equipped with windshields and a water 

spray system around the perimeter. 

When material will be loaded into ships, trucks transport the material to the dock and the 

portable clamshells transfer the material from the dock into a shiphold. However, the material 

should not stockpiled on the dock longer than 24 hours. 

The Stevedoring operation is permitted to operate at the following berths in Hillsborough 

County: 

1, 2, 3, 23, 24, 24B, North Star Recycling Slip 30, 31, 201, 202, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 210,

E.U. 

ID No. Brief Description

-002 Railcar Unloading 

-004 C17 Transfer Point E (C17 to C18 or C17 to C19) 

EU No. 002: During the railcars unloading operation, railcars are pulled into a partially 

enclosed structure and bottom unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into 

six hoppers. Emissions from the hoppers are vented to dry cyclones. Butterfly valves in 

the riser pipe routed to each dry cyclone are used to isolate or shut off airflow to hoppers 

not being used. Typically four of the six hoppers are used during unloading operations. 

Material can be transferred from the unloading hoppers to conveyor C17 for subsequent 

storage in silos via conveyors C19 and C38, or transferred for ship loading via conveyors 

C18, C12, C13 and C14. 

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading operation are controlled 

by six parallel dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM Amerex Type C Venturi 

scrubber and/or by the application of a dust suppressant oil applied to the product at the 

chemical processing facility prior to shipping. 

EU No. 004: The C17 transfer point E directs material from Conveyor Belt No. C17 

either to Conveyor Belt No. C18 or to Conveyor Belt No. C19. Particulate matter 

emissions generated during the transfer process are controlled by a 6000 ACFM PolyCon, Model Venturi 1506MS, scrubber.

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1015 of 1157
This section of the permit addresses the following emissions units.

Emissions Units 020 – 026: Bayside Units 1 and 2 

Description: Each emissions unit consists of a General Electric Model PG7241(FA) gas turbine-electrical 

generator set, an automated gas turbine control system, an inlet air filtration system, an evaporative inlet air 

cooling system, an unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a single exhaust stack that is 150 feet tall 

and 19.0 feet in diameter, and associated support equipment. The project also includes electric fuel heaters 

and cooling towers. Natural gas is the exclusive fuel.

Heat Input: At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F and firing 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of 

natural gas, each unit produces a nominal 169 MW of shaft-driven electricity. Exhaust gases exit the stack 

with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,030,000 acfm at 220° F. 

Generating Capacity: The following table summarizes the electrical generating capacity for each 

combination of combined cycle gas turbines and steam-electrical turbines.

Note: GT means gas turbine. The nameplate generating capacity is shown for the steamelectrical turbines (ST). The final design may not fully utilize the nameplate generating capacity.

Controls: The efficient combustion of natural gas at high temperatures minimizes the emissions of CO, 

PM/PM10, and VOC. Firing natural gas as the only authorized fuel minimizes emissions of SAM and SO2

because natural gas contains only small amounts of sulfur. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system 

combined with dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion technology reduces NOx emissions. 

Continuous Monitors: Each gas turbine is equipped with continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record CO and NOx emissions as well as flue gas carbon dioxide content.

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1019 of 1157
c. CEMS Data Exclusion: For the following specified operational periods, CO and NOx emissions data 

may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in accordance with the corresponding 

requirements.

(1) Definitions: Rule 62-210.200(231), F.A.C. defines “shutdown” as the cessation of the operation of 

an emissions unit for any purpose. Rule 62-210.200(160), F.A.C. defines “malfunction” as any 

unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment or process 

equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner. Rule 62-

210.200(246), F.A.C. defines “startup” as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit 

which has shut down or ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, 

pressure, chemical or pollution control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

(2) Standard Startups, Shutdowns, and Malfunctions: For each gas turbine, no more than four 1-hour 

CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour block compliance average due to 

standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

(3) Cold Steam Turbine Startup: “Cold steam turbine startup” means a startup after the steam turbine 

has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or less. 

To minimize emissions, no more than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a 

cold steam turbine startup. No more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be 

excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a cold steam turbine startup. In 

addition, no more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour 

block compliance average due to cold steam turbine startup. In the event of a cold steam turbine 

startup and standard startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a 

total of sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those 

sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions (total). This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for the cold steam 

turbine startup. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 hours after 

beginning a cold steam turbine startup. Notification may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter. 

(4) Steam Turbine Startup Following an Unplanned Forced Outage: “Steam turbine startup following 

unplanned, forced outage” means startup when the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or 

more and occurs within 24 hours after either (1) the steam turbine inadvertently trips offline, or (2) 

the plant is forced to take the steam turbine offline for repair. To minimize emissions, no more 

than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. No more than eight 1-hour CEMS emissions averages shall be excluded 

from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a steam turbine startup following an unplanned 

forced outage. In addition, no more than eight 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded 

from any 24-hour block compliance average due to steam turbine startups following an unplanned 

forced outage. In the event of a startup following an unplanned forced outage and standard 

startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a total of eight 1-hour 

CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those eight 1-hour CEMS 

emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 

hours after beginning a steam turbine startup following an unplanned forced outage. Notification 

may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter and shall include the reason for the unplanned forced 

outage. 

(5) DLN Tuning: “DLN Tuning” means operating the gas turbine at intermittent loads throughout the 

full load range in order to adjust and tune the dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion system. DLN 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1020 of 1157
tuning shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’ recommendations. Emissions data 

collected during DLN tuning may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: For example, a major tuning session would occur after combustor change-out.}

(6) Compressor Blade Drying: Following a compressor blade wash in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s recommendations, the permittee may operate a gas turbine at very low loads to heat 

and dry the compressor blades. Emissions data collected while drying the compressor blades may 

be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. {Permitting Note: A gas turbine would 

typically operate at approximately 10% of base load or less to perform compressor blade drying.}

(7) Over Speed Trip Test: As a periodic maintenance practice, the permittee may perform over speed 

trip tests in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Emissions data collected while 

conducting over speed trip tests may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: During this test, the gas turbine is operated at full speed, no load (FSNL) for 

approximately 5 to 6 hours. The unit is gradually accelerated to 110% speed (3960 rpm) to initiate 

a trip and then coasts down normally. Over speed trip tests are typically performed after a long 

outage or a major component overhaul.}

To the extent practicable, the permittee shall minimize the amount and duration of emissions during 

periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade drying, and over speed trip 

testing. If a CEMS reports emissions in excess of an emissions standard (24-hour block), the permittee 

shall notify the Compliance Authority within one working day with a preliminary report of: the nature, 

extent, and duration of the excess emissions; the cause of the excess emissions; and the actions taken to 

correct the problem. In addition, the Compliance Authority may request a written summary report of 

the incident. All emissions data allowed for exclusion shall be summarized in the Semiannual CEMS 

Report required in Condition 25 of this subsection. 

d. Startup and Shutdown Plan: The permittee shall maintain on site a “Startup and Shutdown Plan” that 

describes procedures for startup and shutdown of the Bayside Units. 

As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above requirements are established in lieu 

of the provisions of Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. 

{Permitting Note: The durations for a cold steam turbine startup and a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage are not typical for combined cycle units. The Bayside Units utilize the existing 

Gannon steam turbines. Operating procedures require one gas turbine to operate at low loads for 

extended periods to gradually warm the main and hot reheat steam lines to the steam turbine as well as the 

steam turbine. Some steam lines are in excess of 1700 feet. Such startups are expected to occur 

infrequently.} [Design; Rules 62-4.130, 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400 (BACT), F.A.C.; Permit No. PSDFL-301B] 

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE TESTING

18. Operating Rate During Testing: Emissions performance testing shall be conducted with the emissions unit 

operating at permitted capacity. Permitted capacity is defined as 90 to 100 percent of the maximum 

operation rate allowed by the permit. If it is impractical to test at permitted capacity, an emissions unit may 

be tested at less than the maximum permitted capacity; in this case, subsequent emissions unit operation is 

limited to 110 percent of the test rate until a new test is conducted. Once the unit is so limited, operation at 

higher capacities is allowed for no more than 15 consecutive days for the purpose of additional compliance 

testing to regain the authority to operate at the permitted capacity. [Rule 62-297.310(2), F.A.C.]

19. Test Method

Method

s: Any required tests shall be performed in accordance with the following reference methods.

Description of Method and Comments

CTM-027 Procedure for Collection and Analysis of Ammonia in Stationary Source: This is an EPA conditional 

test method. The minimum detection limit shall be 1 ppm.

5 Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources: The minimum sampling time 

shall be two hours per run and the minimum sampling volume shall be 60 dscf per run.

7E Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Stationary Sources

9 Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources

10 Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Stationary Sources: The method shall use a 

continuous sampling train. 

18

Measurement of Gaseous Organic Compound Emissions by Gas Chromatography: EPA Method 18 

may be used concurrently with EPA Method 25A to deduct emissions of methane and ethane from the 

measured VOC emissions.

20 Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Dioxide and Diluent Emissions from Stationary Gas Turbines

25A Determination of Volatile Organic Concentrations

Except for Method CTM-027, the above methods are described in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, and adopted by 

reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C. Method CTM-027 is published on EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web Site at “http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ctm.html”. Although no specific tests are required for 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, the test methods are included for 

completeness. No other methods may be used for compliance testing unless prior written approval is 

received from the Department. [Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

20. Initial Compliance Tests

21.

: Each gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission 

standards for CO, NOx, visible emissions and ammonia slip. The tests shall be conducted within 60 days 

after achieving at least 90% of the maximum permitted capacity, but not later than 180 days after initial 

operation of each gas turbine. Tests for CO and NOx shall be conducted concurrently. Certified CEMS 

data may be used to demonstrate compliance with the initial CO and NOx standards. The test results for 

ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. 

[Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.335] 

Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th

22.

), each gas turbine 

shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for ammonia slip and visible 

emissions. The test results for ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the 

CEMS during each test run. {Permitting Note: Continuous compliance with the CO and NOx standards 

will be demonstrated with certified CEMS data.} [Rules 62-212.400(BACT) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, 

F.A.C.] 

Additional Ammonia Slip Testing

a. Begin testing and reporting the ammonia slip for each subsequent calendar quarter; 

: If the tested ammonia slip rate for a gas turbine exceeds 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen when firing natural gas during the annual test, the permittee shall:

b. Before the ammonia slip exceeds 7 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen, take corrective actions that 

result in lowering the ammonia slip to less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen; and 

c. Test and demonstrate that the ammonia slip is less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen within 15 

days after completing the corrective actions.

Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, adding catalyst, replacing catalyst, or other SCR 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1022 of 1157
system maintenance or repair. After demonstrating that the ammonia slip level is less than 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen, testing and reporting shall resume on an annual basis. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems

a. Emission Averages. Compliance with the 24-hour standards for CO and NOx emissions shall be based 

on data collected by the required CEMS. The 24-hour block shall start at midnight of each operating 

day and consist of 24 consecutive 1-hour blocks. If a unit operates continuously throughout the day, the 

24-hour block average shall be the average of 24 consecutive 1-hour emission averages. If a unit 

operates less than 24 hours during the day, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of available 

valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. If monitoring data is authorized for 

exclusion (due to startup, shutdown, malfunction, or tuning), the 24-hour block average shall be the 

average of the remaining available valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. Upon a 

request from the Compliance Authority, the NOx emission rate shall be corrected to ISO conditions to 

demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards of 40 CFR 60.332. 

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a 

continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) in the exhaust stack of each emissions unit to measure and 

record emissions of CO and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS 

emission standards of this permit. The carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall also be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. 

The oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated by the CEMS using the CO2 content of the flue gas 

and an F-factor that is appropriate for natural gas.

b. Data Collection. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and record CO, CO2, 

and NOx data evenly spaced over the hour. Each 1-hour emission average shall be computed using at 

least one data point in each fifteen minute quadrant of the 1-hour block during which the unit 

combusted fuel. Notwithstanding this requirement, each 1-hour emission average shall be computed 

from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes. If the unit does not operate in 

more than one quadrant of a 1-hour block, the data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour emission 

average and shall be ignored. (Example: Unit begins startup with only ten minutes remaining in the 1-

hour block. Data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour average and is ignored.) All valid measurements 

or data points collected during a 1-hour block shall be used to calculate the 1-hour emission averages. 

If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the CEMS shall include provisions to determine 

the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results 

to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, a curve of the flue gas moisture content versus load may be 

developed through manual stack test measurements and used in an algorithm to enable correction of the 

monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). The CO and NOx CEMS shall express the 1-hour 

emission averages and the 24-hour block averages in terms of “ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen”. 

c. Data Exclusion. CO, CO2, and NOx emissions data shall be recorded by the CEMS at all times 

including episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, and tuning. CO and NOx emissions data 

recorded during such episodes may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in 

accordance with the requirements of Condition 17 of this subsection. All periods of data excluded due 

to startup, shutdown or malfunction shall be consecutive for each episode. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for startup, shutdown and malfunctions, to the extent 

practicable. Data recorded during startup, shutdown or malfunction shall not be excluded if the episode 

was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1023 of 1157
hourly emissions that occur during startup, shutdown and malfunction. Emissions of any quantity or 

duration that occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. Excluded emissions shall be 

summarized in the required semiannual report. 

d. NOx Certification. The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR Part 75 and shall be 

operated and maintained in accordance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts B 

and C. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this permit, 

missing data shall not be substituted. Instead the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the 

remaining hourly data in the 24-hour block. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts F and G. The RATA tests required for the NOx monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 7E or 20 as defined in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. The span for the NOx 

monitor shall not be greater than 10 ppmvd corrected to 15% O2. A dual span monitor may be used. 

e. CO and CO2 Certification. The CO2 monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 3. The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 4. Quality assurance procedures for each monitor shall conform to the 

requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment Report of Section 7 shall be made 

each calendar quarter, and reported semi-annually to the Compliance Authority. The RATA tests 

required for the CO2 monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 3A, of Appendix A in 40 CFR 60. 

The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10, of Appendix A 

in 40 CFR 60. The Method 10 analysis shall use a continuous sampling train. The span for the CO 

monitor shall not be greater than 25 ppm corrected to 15% oxygen. A dual span CO monitor may be 

used. 

f. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability shall not be less than 95% in any calendar quarter. The 

report required in Condition 23e above shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 

95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be 

taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within 

the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the 

minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit.

{Permitting Note: Compliance with these requirements will ensure compliance with the other applicable 

CEMS requirements such as: NSPS Subpart GG; Rule 62-297.520, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.7(a)(5) and 40 CFR 

60.13; 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P – Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirements; 40 CFR 60, Appendix 

B - Performance Specifications; and 40 CFR 60, Appendix F - Quality Assurance Procedures.}

[Rules 62-4.070(3), 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

24. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate, in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the 

ammonia injection rate through each SCR system. The permittee shall document the general range of 

ammonia flow rates required to meet emissions limitations over the range of gas turbine load conditions 

allowed in this permit by comparing NOx emissions recorded by the NOx monitor with ammonia flow rates 

recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOx monitor downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee 

shall operate at the ammonia flow rate that is consistent with the documented flow rate for the gas turbine 

load. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.]

This section of the permit addresses the following emissions units.

Emissions Units 027 – 030: Bayside Units 3 and 4

Description: Each emissions unit consists of a General Electric Model PG7241(FA) gas turbine-electrical 

generator set, an automated gas turbine control system, an inlet air filtration system, an evaporative inlet air 

cooling system, an unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a combined cycle exhaust stack (150 feet 

tall and 19.0 feet in diameter), a simple cycle exhaust stack for Units 3A and 3B (114 feet tall and 18.8 feet in 

diameter), and associated support equipment. Each unit fires natural gas and Units 3A and 3B may fire 

distillate oil as a restricted alternate fuel (simple cycle) or as an emergency backup fuel (combined cycle). 

Permitted Capacity: At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the maximum heat input rate to each gas 

turbine is 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of natural gas. At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the 

maximum heat input rate to each Unit 3A or 3B gas turbine is 2015 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of distillate oil. 

Stack Conditions: When Units 3 and 4 are operating as combined cycle units at full load, exhaust gases exit 

the stack with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,030,000 acfm at 220° F for gas firing and 1,160,000 

acfm at 275° F for oil firing (Unit 3 only). When Units 3A or 3 B are operating as simple cycle units at full 

load, exhaust gases exit the stack with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 2,394,000 acfm at 1120° F for 

gas firing and 2,469,000 acfm at 1100° F for oil firing. 

Generating Capacity: The following table summarizes the electrical generating capacity for each 

combination of combined cycle gas turbines and steam-electrical turbines.

Note: GT means gas turbine. The nameplate generating capacity is shown for the steamelectrical turbines (ST). The final design may not fully utilize the nameplate generating capacity.

Controls: The efficient combustion of clean fuels minimizes the emissions of CO, PM/PM10, and VOC. The 

firing of very low sulfur fuels minimizes potential emissions of SAM and SO2. Dry low-NOx (DLN) 

combustion technology when firing natural gas and water injection when firing distillate oil inhibit NOx 

emissions. When operating in the combined cycle mode, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system further 

reduces NOx emissions.

Continuous Monitors: Each gas turbine is equipped with continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record CO and NOx emissions as well as flue gas carbon dioxide content.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

1. BACT Determinations

2.

: The emissions units addressed in this section are subject to Best Available Control

Evaporative Inlet Air-Cooling System

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTIONS

: Each gas turbine system includes an evaporative cooling system 

designed to reduce the temperature of the inlet air to the gas turbine compressor. The reduced temperature 

provides a greater mass flow rate and increases power production with additional fuel combustion. 

{Permitting Note: The proposed equipment includes a water distribution system with packed media blocks 

of corrugated layers of fibrous material. Air passing over the system wicks moisture away from the media 

to create the cooling effect.} [Applicant Request; Design]

10. Permitted Capacity

11.

: At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the maximum heat input rate to each 

gas turbine is 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of natural gas. At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, 

the maximum heat input rate to each Unit 3A and 3B gas turbine is 2015 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of 

distillate oil. The maximum heat input rates are based on a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the 

higher heating value (HHV) of each fuel and the expected performance levels. Heat input rates will vary 

depending upon gas turbine characteristics, ambient conditions, and evaporative cooling. The permittee 

shall provide the manufacturer’s performance curves (or equations) that correct for site conditions to the 

Permitting and Compliance Authorities within 45 days of completing the initial compliance testing. 

Operating data may be adjusted for the appropriate site conditions in accordance with the performance 

curves and/or equations on file with the Department. [Design; Rule 62-210.200(PTE), F.A.C.] 

Allowable Fuels

a. Natural Gas: Each gas turbine shall fire pipeline natural gas with a fuel sulfur content of no more than 

2 grains per 100 SCF of natural gas based on a 12-month rolling average. Compliance shall be 

demonstrated each month by compiling the daily fuel sulfur analyses provided by the pipeline vendor. 

Methods for determining the sulfur content of the natural gas shall be ASTM methods D4084-82, 

D3246-81 or equivalent methods. [Design; Rules 62-210.200(PTE) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.; 

DEP/TECO Consent Final Judgment; EPA/TECO Consent Decree]

: The gas turbines shall fire only the following fuels.

b. Distillate Oil – Units 3A and 3B: As a restricted alternate fuel, Units 3A and 3B may fire new No. 2 

distillate oil with a maximum fuel sulfur content of no more than 0.05% sulfur by weight. During 

simple cycle operation, each gas turbine shall fire no more than 9,722,300 gallons of distillate oil 

during any consecutive 12-month period (equivalent to 700 full load equivalent hours of operation). 

Initial compliance with the fuel sulfur limit shall be demonstrated by taking a sample, analyzing the 

sample for fuel sulfur, and reporting the results to each Compliance Authority before initial startup.

Operating Procedures

EMISSIONS STANDARDS

: The Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determinations for CO, PM/PM10, 

and VOC emissions established by this permit rely on “good operating practices” to minimize emissions. 

Therefore, all operators and supervisors shall be properly trained to operate and maintain the gas turbines 

and pollution control systems in accordance with the guidelines and procedures established by the 

manufacturer. The training shall include good operating practices as well as methods to minimize 

emissions during startup and shutdown. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

{Permitting Note: A summary table of the emissions standards is provided in Appendix B of this permit.}

requirements for emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Compliance with 

carbon monoxide and visible emissions standards shall serve as continuous indicators of efficient 

combustion to minimize emissions of these pollutants. Compliance with the fuel sulfur specifications 

of this permit minimizes potential emissions of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide. No performance 

tests are required for these pollutants.

f. Only the CEMS-based CO and NOx emissions standards apply to Units 3A and 3B when firing 

distillate oil and operating in combined cycle mode because these units can only fire distillate oil as an 

“emergency backup fuel” when operating in this mode.

Each 24-hour block average shall start at midnight each operating day and shall be calculated from 24 

consecutive 1-hour averages. If a unit operates less than 24 hours during the block, the 24-hour block 

average shall be the average of the available valid 1-hour averages. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, MALFUNCTION, AND LOW LOAD OPERATION

16. Excess Emissions Prohibited

17.

: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction, shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in the 

compliance averages determined from the CO and NOx CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

Alternate Standards and CEMS Data Exclusion

a. Opacity During Startup and Shutdown: During startup and shutdown, the opacity of the exhaust 

gases shall not exceed 10%, except for up to ten 6-minute averaging periods in a calendar day during 

which the opacity shall not exceed 20%. Data for each 6-minute averaging period shall be exclusive 

from other 6-minute averaging periods. 

: The following permit conditions establish alternate 

standards or allow the exclusion of monitoring data for specifically defined periods of startup, shutdown,

and malfunction. These conditions apply only if operators employ the best operational practices to 

minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such incidents. 

b. Low Load Operation: Excluding startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade 

drying, and over speed trip tests, each gas turbine may operate below 50% base load providing: the gas 

turbine is firing natural gas and operating in full dry low-NOx combustion mode; the CO and NOx 

CEMS are functioning properly during such periods and recording valid emissions data within the span 

range of the monitors; and the gas turbine remains in compliance with the CO and NOx emissions 

standards (24-hour block averages). 

c. CEMS Data Exclusion: For the following specified operational periods, CO and NOx emissions data 

may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in accordance with the corresponding 

requirements.

(1) Definitions: Rule 62-210.200(231), F.A.C. defines “shutdown” as the cessation of the operation of 

an emissions unit for any purpose. Rule 62-210.200(160), F.A.C. defines “malfunction” as any 

unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment or process 

equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner. Rule 62-

210.200(246), F.A.C. defines “startup” as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit 

which has shut down or ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, 

pressure, chemical or pollution control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

(2) Standard Startups, Shutdowns, and Malfunctions: For each gas turbine, no more than four 1-hour 

CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour block compliance average due to 

standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

(3) Cold Steam Turbine Startup: “Cold steam turbine startup” means a startup after the steam turbine 

has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or less. 

To minimize emissions, no more than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a 

cold steam turbine startup. No more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be 

excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a cold steam turbine startup. In 

addition, no more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour 

block compliance average due to cold steam turbine startup. In the event of a cold steam turbine 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1032 of 1157
startup and standard startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a 

total of sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those 

sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions (total). This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for the cold steam 

turbine startup. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 hours after 

beginning a cold steam turbine startup. Notification may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter. 

(4) Steam Turbine Startup Following an Unplanned Forced Outage: “Steam turbine startup following 

unplanned, forced outage” means startup when the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or 

more and occurs within 24 hours after either (1) the steam turbine inadvertently trips offline, or (2) 

the plant is forced to take the steam turbine offline for repair. To minimize emissions, no more 

than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. No more than eight 1-hour CEMS emissions averages shall be excluded 

from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a steam turbine startup following an unplanned 

forced outage. In addition, no more than eight 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded 

from any 24-hour block compliance average due to steam turbine startups following an unplanned 

forced outage. In the event of a startup following an unplanned forced outage and standard 

startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a total of eight 1-hour 

CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those eight 1-hour CEMS 

emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 

hours after beginning a steam turbine startup following an unplanned forced outage. Notification 

may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter and shall include the reason for the unplanned forced 

outage. 

(5) DLN Tuning: “DLN Tuning” means operating the gas turbine at intermittent loads throughout the 

full load range in order to adjust and tune the dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion system. DLN 

tuning shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’ recommendations. Emissions data 

collected during DLN tuning may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: For example, a major tuning session would occur after combustor change-out.}

(6) Compressor Blade Drying: Following a compressor blade wash in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s recommendations, the permittee may operate a gas turbine at very low loads to heat 

and dry the compressor blades. Emissions data collected while drying the compressor blades may 

be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. {Permitting Note: A gas turbine would 

typically operate at approximately 10% of base load or less to perform compressor blade drying.}

(7) Over Speed Trip Test: As a periodic maintenance practice, the permittee may perform over speed 

trip tests in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Emissions data collected while 

conducting over speed trip tests may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: During this test, the gas turbine is operated at full speed, no load (FSNL) for 

approximately 5 to 6 hours. The unit is gradually accelerated to 110% speed (3960 rpm) to initiate 

a trip and then coasts down normally. Over speed trip tests are typically performed after a long 

outage or a major component overhaul.}

To the extent practicable, the permittee shall minimize the amount and duration of emissions during 

periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade drying, and over speed trip 

testing. If a CEMS reports emissions in excess of an emissions standard (24-hour block), the permittee 

shall notify the Compliance Authority within one working day with a preliminary report of: the nature, 

extent, and duration of the excess emissions; the cause of the excess emissions; and the actions taken to 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1033 of 1157
correct the problem. In addition, the Compliance Authority may request a written summary report of 

the incident. All emissions data allowed for exclusion shall be summarized in the Semiannual CEMS 

Report required in Condition 25 of this subsection. 

d. Startup and Shutdown Plan: The permittee shall maintain on site a “Startup and Shutdown Plan” that 

describes procedures for startup and shutdown of the Bayside Units. 

As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above requirements are established in lieu 

of the provisions of Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. 

{Permitting Note: The durations for a cold steam turbine startup and a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage are not typical for combined cycle units. The Bayside Units utilize the existing 

Gannon steam turbines. Operating procedures require one gas turbine to operate at low loads for 

extended periods to gradually warm the main and hot reheat steam lines to the steam turbine as well as the 

steam turbine. Some steam lines are in excess of 1700 feet. Such startups are expected to occur 

infrequently.} [Design; Rules 62-4.130, 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400 (BACT), F.A.C.; Permit No. PSDFL-301C] 

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE TESTING

18. Operating Rate During Testing

19.

: Emissions performance testing shall be conducted with the emissions unit 

operating at permitted capacity. Permitted capacity is defined as 90 to 100 percent of the maximum 

operation rate allowed by the permit. If it is impractical to test at permitted capacity, an emissions unit may 

be tested at less than the maximum permitted capacity; in this case, subsequent emissions unit operation is 

limited to 110 percent of the test rate until a new test is conducted. Once the unit is so limited, operation at 

higher capacities is allowed for no more than 15 consecutive days for the purpose of additional compliance 

testing to regain the authority to operate at the permitted capacity. [Rule 62-297.310(2), F.A.C.] 

Test Methods

Method

: Any required tests shall be performed in accordance with the following reference methods.

Description of Method and Comments

CTM-027 Procedure for Collection and Analysis of Ammonia in Stationary Source: This is an EPA conditional 

test method. The minimum detection limit shall be 1 ppm.

5 Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources: The minimum sampling time 

shall be two hours per run and the minimum sampling volume shall be 60 dscf per run.

7E Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Stationary Sources

9 Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources

10 Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Stationary Sources: The method shall use a 

continuous sampling train.

18

Measurement of Gaseous Organic Compound Emissions by Gas Chromatography: EPA Method 18 

may be used concurrently with EPA Method 25A to deduct emissions of methane and ethane from the 

measured VOC emissions.

20 Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Dioxide and Diluent Emissions from Stationary Gas Turbines

25A Determination of Volatile Organic Concentrations

Except for Method CTM-027, the above methods are described in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, and adopted by 

reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C. Method CTM-027 is published on EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web Site at “http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ctm.html”. Although no specific tests are required for 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, the test methods are included for 

completeness. No other methods may be used for compliance testing unless prior written approval is

received from the Department. [Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

20. Initial Compliance Tests

a. Simple Cycle Units 3A and 3B: Each simple cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate initial 

compliance with the emissions standards for CO, NOx, and visible emissions in Condition 

: To demonstrate initial compliance with the emissions standards, tests shall be 

conducted on each gas turbine within 60 days after achieving at least 90% of the maximum permitted 

capacity, but not later than 180 days after initial operation of each gas turbine. Tests shall be conducted in 

accordance with the following requirements. 

14 of this 

subsection when firing natural gas and distillate oil.

b. Combined Cycle Units 3 and 4: Each combined cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate 

compliance with the emissions standards for CO, NOx, visible emissions and ammonia slip in 

Condition 14 of this subsection when firing natural gas. {Permitting Note: For combined cycle 

operation of Units 3A and 3B, initial tests when firing distillate oil are not required because this fuel 

may only be fired as a restricted emergency backup fuel.}

Tests for CO and NOx shall be conducted concurrently. Certified CEMS data may be used to demonstrate 

initial compliance with the CO and NOx emissions standards. The test results for ammonia slip shall also 

report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. [Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, 

F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.335] 

21. Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th

a. Simple Cycle Units 3A and 3B: Each simple cycle gas turbine shall be tested annually to demonstrate 

compliance with the standard for visible emissions in Condition 

), each gas turbine 

is subject to the following testing requirements. 

14 of this subsection when firing 

natural gas and when firing distillate oil (if the unit fires distillate oil for more than 400 hours during 

the federal fiscal year).

b. Combined Cycle Units 3 and 4: Each combined cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate 

compliance with the standards for visible emissions and ammonia slip in Condition 14 of this 

subsection when firing natural gas. The test results for ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx 

emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. Units 3A and 3B shall also be tested for visible 

emissions if the unit fires distillate oil for more than 400 hours during the federal fiscal year. 

{Permitting Note: Continuous compliance with the CO and NOx standards will be demonstrated by data 

collected from the certified CEMS.} [Rules 62-212.400(BACT) and 62-297.310(7)(a)3 and 4, F.A.C.] 

22. Additional Ammonia Slip Testing

a. Begin testing and reporting the ammonia slip for each subsequent calendar quarter;

: If the tested ammonia slip rate for a gas turbine exceeds 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen when firing natural gas during the annual test, the permittee shall: 

b. Before the ammonia slip exceeds 7 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen, take corrective actions that 

result in lowering the ammonia slip to less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen; and 

c. Test and demonstrate that the ammonia slip is less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen within 15 

days after completing the corrective actions.

Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, adding catalyst, replacing catalyst, or other SCR 

system maintenance or repair. After demonstrating that the ammonia slip level is less than 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen, testing and reporting shall resume on an annual basis. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.] 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1035 of 1157
CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems

a. Emission Averages. Compliance with the 24-hour standards for CO and NOx emissions shall be based 

on data collected by the required CEMS. The 24-hour block shall start at midnight of each operating 

day and consist of 24 consecutive 1-hour blocks. If a unit operates continuously throughout the day, the 

24-hour block average shall be the average of 24 consecutive 1-hour emission averages. If a unit 

operates less than 24 hours during the day, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of available 

valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. If monitoring data is authorized for 

exclusion (due to startup, shutdown, malfunction, or tuning), the 24-hour block average shall be the 

average of the remaining available valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. Upon a 

request from the Compliance Authority, the NOx emission rate shall be corrected to ISO conditions to 

demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards of 40 CFR 60.332. 

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a 

continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) in the exhaust stack of each emissions unit to measure and 

record emissions of CO and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS 

emission standards of this permit. The carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall also be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. 

The oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated by the CEMS using the CO2 content of the flue gas 

and an F-factor that is appropriate for natural gas. 

b. Data Collection. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and record CO, CO2, 

and NOx data evenly spaced over the hour. Each 1-hour emission average shall be computed using at 

least one data point in each fifteen minute quadrant of the 1-hour block during which the unit 

combusted fuel. Notwithstanding this requirement, each 1-hour emission average shall be computed 

from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes. If the unit does not operate in 

more than one quadrant of a 1-hour block, the data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour emission 

average and shall be ignored. (Example: Unit begins startup with only ten minutes remaining in the 1-

hour block. Data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour average and is ignored.) All valid measurements 

or data points collected during a 1-hour block shall be used to calculate the 1-hour emission averages. 

If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the CEMS shall include provisions to determine 

the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results 

to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, a curve of the flue gas moisture content versus load may be 

developed through manual stack test measurements and used in an algorithm to enable correction of the 

monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). The CO and NOx CEMS shall express the 1-hour 

emission averages and the 24-hour block averages in terms of “ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen”.

c. Data Exclusion. CO, CO2, and NOx emissions data shall be recorded by the CEMS at all times 

including episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, and tuning. CO and NOx emissions data 

recorded during such episodes may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in 

accordance with the requirements of Condition 17 of this subsection. All periods of data excluded due 

to startup, shutdown or malfunction shall be consecutive for each episode. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for startup, shutdown and malfunctions, to the extent 

practicable. Data recorded during startup, shutdown or malfunction shall not be excluded if the episode 

was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize 

hourly emissions that occur during startup, shutdown and malfunction. Emissions of any quantity or 

duration that occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. Excluded emissions shall be 

summarized in the required semiannual report. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1036 of 1157
d. NOx Certification. The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR Part 75 and shall be 

operated and maintained in accordance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts B 

and C. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this permit, 

missing data shall not be substituted. Instead the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the 

remaining hourly data in the 24-hour block. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts F and G. The RATA tests required for the NOx monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 7E or 20 as defined in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. The span for the NOx 

monitor shall not be greater than 10 ppmvd corrected to 15% O2. A dual span monitor may be used. 

e. CO and CO2 Certification. The CO2 monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 3. The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 4. Quality assurance procedures for each monitor shall conform to the 

requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment Report of Section 7 shall be made 

each calendar quarter, and reported semi-annually to the Compliance Authority. The RATA tests 

required for the CO2 monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 3A, of Appendix A in 40 CFR 60. 

The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10, of Appendix A 

in 40 CFR 60. The Method 10 analysis shall use a continuous sampling train. The span for the CO 

monitor shall not be greater than 25 ppm corrected to 15% oxygen. A dual span CO monitor may be 

used. 

f. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability shall not be less than 95% in any calendar quarter. The 

report required in Condition 23e above shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 

95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be 

taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within 

the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the 

minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit.

{Permitting Note: Compliance with these requirements will ensure compliance with the other applicable 

CEMS requirements such as: NSPS Subpart GG; Rule 62-297.520, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.7(a)(5) and 40 CFR 

60.13; 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P – Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirements; 40 CFR 60, Appendix 

B - Performance Specifications; and 40 CFR 60, Appendix F - Quality Assurance Procedures.}

24. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements

RECORDS AND REPORTS

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the 

ammonia injection rate through each SCR system. The permittee shall document the general range of 

ammonia flow rates required to meet emissions limitations over the range of gas turbine load conditions 

allowed in this permit by comparing NOx emissions recorded by the NOx monitor with ammonia flow rates 

recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOx monitor downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee 

shall operate at the ammonia flow rate that is consistent with the documented flow rate for the gas turbine 

load. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

25. Semiannual CEMS Report: In addition to the reports required pursuant to 40 CFR 60.7, the permittee shall 

submit semiannual reports for each gas turbine summarizing the CEMS data and equipment. For each 

calendar quarter, the report shall include: the 24-hour block compliance averages for each day of operation; 

the number of 1-hour emission averages excluded from each 24-hour compliance average; the emissions 

rate of the excluded monitoring data; the reason for excluding monitoring data; the hours of missing data 

due to monitor downtime; the reason for any monitor downtime; unusual maintenance or repair of the 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

This section of the permit addresses the following emissions unit.

Emissions Unit No. 033 - General Electric 7FA Combined Cycle Unit

The unit consists of a General Electric 7FA combustion turbine, automated combustion turbine control system, a heat 

recovery steam generator (HRSG), a gas-fired duct burner system, a HRSG stack, a bypass stack, and CO and NOx CEMS. 

The combustion turbine will produce a nominal 188 MW and the HRSG will be used to re-power the existing Unit 2 steam 

turbine-electrical generator to produce a nominal 238 MW. In the combustion turbine, natural gas will be fired as the 

primary fuel and distillate oil will be fired as a restricted alternative fuel from on site storage tanks. Based on the higher 

heating value of each fuel and a compressor inlet temperature of 25° F, the design maximum heat input rates are 1899

MMBtu per hour for gas firing and 2079 MMBtu per hour for oil firing. Natural gas will be the sole fuel for the duct 

burner system rated at a maximum heat input rate of 765 MMBtu per hour.

Nitrogen oxide emissions will be controlled by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system plus the dry low-NOx (DLN) 

combustion system when firing natural gas and water injection when firing distillate oil. Emissions of carbon monoxide 

and volatile organic compounds will be minimized by the firing of clean fuels and the high combustion temperatures of the 

combustion turbine. Emissions of particulate matter will be minimized by the large inlet air filtration system and the 

efficient combustion of the proposed fuels. Emissions of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide will be minimized by the 

firing of natural gas as the primary fuel and the restricted firing of distillate oil (≤ 0.05% sulfur by weight) as a backup fuel.

When firing natural gas and duct firing, exhaust gas at 188° F will leave the HRSG and exit a stack that is 18 feet in 

diameter and 150 feet tall with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,016,100 acfm. When firing distillate oil and duct 

firing, exhaust gas at 204° F will leave the HRSG and exit a stack that is 18 feet in diameter and 150 feet tall with a 

volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,090,210 acfm. When operating in simple cycle mode with the blanking plate 

installed, exhaust gas at 1114° F will exit an emergency bypass stack that is also 18 feet in diameter and 150 feet tall with a 

volumetric flow rate of approximately 2,433,700 acfm. Temperatures and gas flows assume a compressor inlet 

temperature of 59° F.

: 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1044 of 1157
natural gas or distillate oil and operate the gas-fired duct burners. For this permit, “combined cycle” shall mean 

operation of the combustion turbine during which heat is recovered from the combustion turbine exhaust in the 

HRSG to generate steam. This includes operation when the HRSG and SCR system are functioning, but the steam 

produced is dumped to a condenser. 

b. Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Operation: The combustion turbine shall fire only natural gas with no duct firing 

when operating as a simple cycle unit with the exhaust bypassing the HRSG and SCR system. To operate in this 

manner, the unit must be cooled and a blanking plate installed to direct exhaust gases to the bypass stack. This 

method of operation will be an infrequent occurrence, most likely due to problems or maintenance of the HRSG, 

SCR system or steam turbine-electrical generator system.

a. “SC/Bypass” means operation as a simple cycle unit with the blanking plate installed to bypass the HRSG and SCR 

system and exhaust directly to the bypass stack.

b. Mass emissions rates represent the maximum equivalent “lb/hour” for the highest emitting method of operation, 

which includes duct firing for most cases. Mass emissions rates are based on a compressor inlet temperature of 25° 

F and the higher heating value of each fuel. Maximum mass emission rates will vary based on the actual test 

conditions in accordance with the performance curves and/or equations. For the combustion turbine, it is not 

necessary to continuously report hourly mass emissions rates with the CEMS data. See Appendix F for a summary 

of equivalent mass emissions rates.

c. To determine compliance with the emissions standards based on a 30-day rolling average, each fuel will have a 

separate 30-day rolling emissions standard based on CEMS data. To determine compliance with the CO emissions 

cap based on a 12-month rolling total, the mass emissions rate shall be determined from all valid hourly emissions 

data including periods such as startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switching, and tuning. Mass emissions may be 

determined from the CEMS data by using the appropriate F-Factor for each fuel.

d. To determine compliance with the NOx emissions standards based on a 30-day rolling average, each fuel will have 

a separate 30-day rolling emissions standard based on NOx CEMS data.

e. In addition to the methods specified above, data gathered by the CO CEMS and NOx CEMS may be used to 

demonstrate compliance in accordance with Conditions 26 and 27 in this section.

{Permitting Note: Potential annual emissions from the combustion turbine system are: 340 tons/year of CO, 332

tons/year of NOx, 112 tons/year of PM/PM10, 212 tons/year of SO2, 40 tons/year of SAM, and 47 tons/year of VOC.

imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

: Rule 62-210.200(Definitions), F.A.C. defines the following terms.

b. Shutdown is the cessation of the operation of an emissions unit for any purpose.

c. Malfunction is defined as any unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment 

or process equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner.

18. Excess Emissions Allowed

a. Startup: 

: As specified in this condition, excess emissions resulting from startup, shutdown, 

malfunction, fuel switches, and DLN/SCR/WI tuning are allowed provided that operators employ the best operational 

practices to minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such events. For excess emissions events that last 

less than the maximum duration allowed, only those minutes attributable to excess emissions from the event shall be 

excluded. When authorized, excess emissions data shall be excluded from a compliance determination as a continuous 

block attributed to the event.

1) Steam Turbine Generator Cold Startup: No more than the first 600 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator cold startup. A “steam turbine generator cold startup” 

is defined as startup after the steam turbine generator has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage 

turbine metal temperature is 250oF or less.

2) Steam Turbine Generator Warm Startup: No more than the first 300 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator warm startup. A “steam turbine generator warm 

startup” is defined as startup to combined cycle operation when the gas turbine has been shut down for a 

period of time and the first stage steam turbine metal temperature is greater than 250o

3) Steam Turbine Generator Hot Startup: No more than the first 240 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator hot startup. A “steam turbine generator hot startup” is 

defined as startup of the steam turbine generator while the unit has been operating in the combined cycle mode 

with the steam being dumped to the condenser.

F.

4) Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Startup: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a simple cycle gas turbine startup in which exhaust is directed to the HRSG/SCR 

bypass stack.

b. Shutdown: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded due to excess emissions from a 

combustion turbine shutdown. For shutdowns of less than 30 minutes in duration, only those minutes attributable 

to excess emissions from shutdown shall be excluded.

c. Malfunction: No more than 120 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded in a 24-hour period due to excess 

emissions from malfunction. Within one (1) working day of occurrence, the owner or operator shall notify the 

Compliance Authority of any malfunction resulting in the exclusion of CEMS data.

d. Fuel Switch: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded due to excess emissions from a 

fuel switch. For fuel switches less than 30 minutes in duration, only those minutes attributable to excess emissions 

from fuel switching shall be excluded.

e. DLN/SCR/WI Tuning: No more than 72 hours of CEMS data during any consecutive 12 months shall be excluded 

from the CEMS compliance demonstration due to excess emissions from the necessary tuning of the dry low-NOx 

(DLN) combustion system, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, or the water injection (WI) system. 

Tuning sessions shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations or industry standards. 

Prior to performing any DLN, SCR, or WI tuning session, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority 

with an advance notice (telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic mail) that details the activity and proposed 

tuning schedule. {Permitting Note: DLN tuning sessions are typically required after completion of initial 

construction, a combustor change-out, a major repair, a unit overhaul, maintenance to a combustor, or other 

similar circumstances. During DLN or water injection tuning, the SCR system is turned off and the combustion

turbine is sequentially stepped through numerous loads (including low load levels) to gather actual emissions data 

and operational information for use in adjusting the combustion turbine and control system.}

CEMS data shall only be excluded in accordance with the procedures described in the Condition 21 of this section 

(CEMS Data Requirements). As authorized by Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above conditions allow excess 

emissions only for the specifically defined periods. Data exclusion does not apply to the CO emissions cap based on a 

12-month rolling total. [Application No. 0730003-009-AC; Design; Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C.]

19. Alternate Visible Emissions Standard:

CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS MONITORING SYSTEM (CEMS) REQUIREMENTS

 Visible emissions due to startup shall not exceed 10% opacity except for up to 

ten, 6-minute averaging periods during a calendar day, which shall not exceed 20% opacity. [Rule 62-210.700(5), 

F.A.C.]

20. CEMS

a. CO Monitor: The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 4 

or 4A. Quality assurance procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F. The annual 

and required RATA tests shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be 

based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span values shall be set appropriately, considering the 

allowable methods of operation and corresponding emission standards.

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record the emissions of CO and NOx from the combustion turbine HRSG exhaust stack in a manner 

sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS-based emission standards of this section. Within 60 

days of achieving permitted capacity, but no later than 180 days after first fire, all continuous emissions monitoring 

systems shall be installed, certified and functioning properly. 

b. NOx Monitor: The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to the specifications of 40 CFR 75. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 75. The annual and required RATA tests required for the 

NOX

c. Diluent Monitor: The oxygen (O

monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60.

2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored at the 

location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. If a CO2 

[Rules 62-4.070(3), 62-210.800, and 62-297.520, F.A.C.]

monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using F-factors that are appropriate for 

the fuel fired. The monitor shall comply with the performance and quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

21. CEMS Data Requirements

a. Valid Hourly Averages for Compliance: Each CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and 

record data evenly spaced over the hour at a minimum of one measurement per minute. Except for allowable 

emissions data exclusions, all valid measurements collected during an hour shall be used to calculate a 1-hour 

block average that begins at the top of each hour. Each 1-hour block average shall be computed using at least one 

data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit combusted fuel during that quadrant of an 

hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, a 1-hour average shall be computed from at least two data points 

separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less 

than two such data points are available, there is insufficient data and the 1-hour block average is not valid. Also, if 

an allowable exclusion episode should occur over two separate hourly averages, only those minutes attributed to 

the specific episode shall be excluded from each hour.

: The CEMS shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated in the combustion 

turbine exhaust stacks to measure and record the emissions of CO, and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate 

compliance with the CEMS-based emission limits standards of this section. The CEMS shall express the results in units 

of ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen.

b. 30-day Rolling Averages: A 30-day rolling average shall be calculated from all valid hourly averages collected 

during the given operating day and the previous 29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with 

the 30-day rolling NOx standard, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, Subpart D, shall 

not be utilized. Instead, the 30-day rolling average shall be determined using the remaining hourly data and 

periods of missing CEMS data are to be reported as monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring 

performance reports. {Permitting Note: Condition 22 defines the use of “maximum permitted emission levels” for 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1048 of 1157
use when the combustion turbine operates in simple cycle mode.}

c. 12-Month Rolling Total: By the end of each month, the CO CEMS shall also determine a 12-month rolling total of 

CO emissions from the combustion turbine. The 12-month rolling total shall be based on all valid CO CEMS data 

collected (including startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions) for the given month and the previous 11 months.

d. Data Exclusion: Except for monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and zero and span 

adjustments, each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including episodes of startups, 

shutdowns, malfunctions, and DLN tuning. Limited amounts of CEMS emissions data recorded during some of 

these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of 

Condition 18 in this section. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such episodes to the 

extent practicable.

e. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability for each CEMS used to demonstrate compliance shall be 95% or greater 

in any calendar quarter. Monitor availability shall be calculated consistent with Subpart KKKK in 40 CFR 60 and 

reported in the SIP and NSPS excess emissions reports required in Condition 36. In the event that 95% availability 

is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report identifying the problems in achieving 

95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall 

implement the reported corrective actions within the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or 

continued failure to achieve the minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit, except as 

otherwise authorized by the Compliance Authority.

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(12), F.A.C.; 40 CFR 75] 

22. Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Operation

a. Compliance with the NOx and CO emission standards for the simple cycle HRSG/SCR bypass mode of operation 

shall be demonstrated by conducting initial and annual tests as required by Condition 

: Because the bypass stack will only be used in emergency situations 

where the HRSG, SCR and/or steam turbine-generator are unavailable, the permittee is not required to install CO/NOx 

CEMS or permanent test ports on the bypass stack. When an emergency situation occurs, the permittee shall ensure 

that the unit is firing only natural gas and is properly operating with lean premix combustion (Mode 6). The permittee 

shall monitor the hours of operation in simple cycle HRSG/SCR bypass mode and use the following methods to 

determine CO and NOx emissions.

26 of this section.

b. Compliance with the 12-month rolling CO emissions cap, the maximum CO mass emission rate of 41.7 lb/hour 

shall be used to represent each hour of operation in this mode.

If the unit operates in simple cycle mode for a substantial period of time, the Compliance Authority may request 

additional CO and NOx testing to demonstrate compliance with the standards. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.]

{Permitting Note: The above sampling method is similar to the method allowed under the Acid Rain program for 

bypass stack situations as described in 40 CFR 75.17(d)(2).}

23. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE TESTING

: In accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, the permittee shall install, 

calibrate, operate and maintain an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the ammonia injection rate to the SCR 

system. The permittee shall document the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet permitted emissions 

levels over the range of load conditions allowed by this permit by comparing NOx emissions recorded by the CEM 

system with ammonia flow rates recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOx monitor downtimes or 

malfunctions, the permittee shall operate at the ammonia flow rate that is consistent with the documented flow rate for 

the combustion turbine load condition. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.]

24. Continuous Compliance

FACILITY AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Progress Energy Florida operates the Bartow Plant, which is an existing power plant (SIC No. 4911). The plant 

currently consists of: 

• Three fossil fuel fired steam generating units designated as Units 1, 2 and 3 that produce 120, 120 and 225 

megawatts (MW) of electrical power respectively;

• Four simple cycle units designated as Gas Combustion Turbine Peaking Units Nos. P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4 

each of which has a nominal capacity of 56 MW; 

• Additional emissions units include a pipeline heating boiler and relocatable diesel generators; and 

• Miscellaneous unregulated/insignificant emissions units and/or activities including fuel storage tanks and 

gas tanks that can be located at various PEF power plants. These units are listed in Appendix U of the 

current Title V Permit. 

The project is a plant repowering that includes the construction of a nominal 1,280 MW gas-fired combined 

cycle unit system (“4-on-1”) and a nominal 195 MW gas-fired simple cycle unit. The project includes and 

requires the shutdown of the three fossil fuel fired steam generating units (Units 1, 2 and 3) resulting in a net 

decrease in all PSD pollutants except for carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). 

The combined cycle unit system will consist of: four Model SGT6-5000F combustion turbine-electrical 

generators (CT-electrical generators) with a nominal rating of 215 MW at ISO conditions when practicing 

power augmentation; four duct-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG’s) each equipped with a selective 

catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor and a nominal 500 million Btu per hour (MMBtu/hr) duct burner; and a single 

nominal 420 MW steam-electrical generator (STG). Each CT within the combined cycle unit system will be 

permitted to operate in simple cycle by directing the exhaust to a bypass stack instead of the respective HRSG. 

Thus the project will include eight stacks measuring approximately 120 feet in height. 

All CTs will be equipped with evaporative coolers to condition incoming air at high ambient temperatures and 

wet injection capability for nitrogen oxides control when firing fuel oil or when practicing power augmentation. 

Each CT will be allowed to fire backup low sulfur (<0.05% S) distillate fuel oil for 1,000 hours per year (hr/yr). 

The new units are designated as Units 4 and Unit 5. 

The simple cycle CT-electrical generator will have a nominal rating of 195 MW at ISO conditions and will 

exhaust through its own 120 foot stack. 

Additional ancillary equipment will include: five natural gas fired fuel heaters; two diesel fuel storage tanks; one 

auxiliary steam boiler; and a diesel fueled emergency fire pump. 

This permit authorizes the installation the following new equipment in conjunction with the permanent 

shutdown of Units 1, 2, and 3.

exhaust gas (TEG) exits through or is diverted to a stack unassociated with a DB-fired HRSG. This 

method of operation will be an infrequent occurrence for the four CTs that will typically operate in 

combined cycle mode as described below.

: Subject to the restrictions and requirements of this permit, the CTs may operate 

under the following methods of operation after shutdown of Units 1, 2 and 3 

b. Combined Cycle (CC) Operation: The four CTs associated with combined cycle Unit 4 may operate in 

combined cycle (CC) mode whereby the TEG is exhausted to their respective duct-fired HRSGs for 

energy recovery in order to raise steam to drive the single steam turbine-electrical generator (STG) 

subject to the restrictions of this permit. 

c. Inlet Conditioning: In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and appropriate ambient 

conditions, the evaporative cooling systems may be operated to reduce the compressor inlet air 

temperature and provide additional direct, shaft-driven electrical power. 

d. Duct Firing: The DB within each HRSG may be fired with natural gas to reheat the TEG in order to 

provide additional steam to the STG or the CTs for power augmentation. 

e. Power augmentation: Power (Steam) Augmentation (PA): Steam for PA is taken from the HRSG and 

is introduced into the CT compressor discharge, thus increasing the power produced by the expander 

portion of the turbine.

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in any 

compliance determinations based on CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

Allowable Data Exclusions

a. Steam Turbine/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of the steam turbine system, up to 8 hours 

of excess emissions from any CT/HRSG system may be excluded in any 24-hour period. A cold 

“startup of the steam turbine system” is defined as startup of the 4-on-1 combined cycle system 

following a shutdown of the steam turbine lasting at least 48 hours. 

: As per the procedures in this condition, limited amounts of CO CEMS 

emissions data may be excluded from the corresponding SIP-based compliance demonstration, provided that 

best operational practices to minimize emissions are adhered to and the duration of data excluded is 

minimized. As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., these conditions replace the 

provisions in Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. For each CT/HRSG system, excess emissions resulting from

[Rules 62-204.800, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

28. Initial Compliance Determinations: Each CT shall be stack tested to demonstrate initial compliance with the 

emission standards for CO, NOX, VOC, visible emissions, and ammonia slip. The tests shall be conducted 

within 60 days after achieving the maximum production rate at which the unit will be operated, but not later 

than 180 days after the initial startup of each unit configuration. Each unit shall be tested when firing 

natural gas, when using the duct burners and when firing distillate fuel oil. Reference method data collected 

during the required Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATAs) may be used to demonstrate compliance with 

the initial CO and NOX compliance tests. With appropriate flow measurements (or fuel measurements and 

approved F-factors), CEMS data may be used to demonstrate compliance with the CO mass rate emissions 

standards. CO and NOX

29.

emissions recorded by the CEMS shall also be reported for each run during tests 

for visible emissions, VOC and ammonia slip. The Department may require the permittee to conduct 

additional tests after major replacement or major repair of any air pollution control equipment, such as the 

SCR catalyst, oxidation catalyst, DLN combustors, etc. [Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, F.A.C. and 40 CFR 60.8] 

Continuous Compliance: The permittee shall demonstrate continuous compliance with the 24-hour and 12-

month CO emission standards, and the NOX

30.

emissions standards based on data collected by the certified 

CEMS. Within 45 days of conducting any RATA on a CEMS, the permittee shall submit a report to the 

Compliance Authority summarizing results of the RATA. Compliance with the CO emission standards also 

serves as an indicator of efficient fuel combustion and oxidation catalyst operation, which reduces emissions 

of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. [Rule 62-212.400 (BACT), F.A.C.]

Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th), each CT shall be 

tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for visible emissions. CO emissions data 

collected during the required continuous monitor Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATAs) may be used to 

demonstrate compliance with the CO standards. Annual testing to determine the ammonia slip shall be 

conducted while firing the primary fuel. NOX emissions recorded by the CEMS shall be reported for each 

ammonia slip test run.

{Permitting Note: After initial compliance with the VOC standards is demonstrated, annual compliance 

tests for VOC emissions are not required. Compliance with the continuously monitored CO standards shall 

indicate efficient combustion and low VOC emissions. The Department retains the right to require VOC 

testing for the reasons such as exceedance of the CO limit or those given in Appendix SC, Special 

Compliance Tests.} 

[Rules 62-212.400, 62-210.200 (243) (BACT), 62-4.070 (3) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

31. CEM Systems: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitoring 

systems (CEMS) to measure and record the emissions of CO from the HRSG stacks and NOX from all 

stacks in a manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission standards of 

this section. Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly functioning prior to the 

initial performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions in excess of a CO or NOX

a. CO Monitors. The CO monitors shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance 

Specification 4 or 4A within 60 calendar days of achieving permitted capacity as defined in Rule 62-

297.310(2), F.A.C., but no later than 180 calendar days after initial startup. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment 

Report of Section 7 shall be made each calendar quarter, and reported semiannually to the Compliance 

Authority. The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in 

Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span 

values shall be set appropriately considering the allowable methods of operation and corresponding 

emission standards.

standard (and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify the Compliance 

Authority. 

b. NOX Monitors. Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance with the 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant to Subparts F 

and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX

c. Diluent Monitors. The oxygen (O

 monitor shall be performed using EPA 

Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. 

2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored 

at the location where CO is monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. If a CO2

32.

monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using F-factors that are 

appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance and quality assurance 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

CEM Data Requirements

 Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, operation, 

shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration 

checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, 

and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the 

CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an 

algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the 

owner or operator may develop through manual stack test measurements a curve of moisture contents in 

the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to 

enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS 

shall be expressed as ppmvd of CO corrected to 15% oxygen and as ppmvd of NO

: 

X (uncorrected). The 

CEMS shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS emission standards for CO and NOX as 

specified in this permit. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emissions standards 

of this permit, missing (or excluded) data shall not be substituted. Upon request by the Department, the 

CEMS emission rates shall be corrected to ISO conditions. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1079 of 1157
 Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average value shall 

be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit 

combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, an hourly value 

shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit 

operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less than two such data points are available, the 

hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance 

with the permit standards for oil firing. The permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points 

collected during an hour to calculate the hourly average values.

 24-hour Block Averages: A 24-hour block shall begin at midnight of each operating day and shall be 

calculated from 24 consecutive hourly average emission rate values. If a unit operates less than 24 

hours during the block, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of all available valid hourly 

average emission rate values for the 24-hour block. For purposes of determining compliance with the 

24-hour CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, subpart D, 

shall not be utilized. Instead, the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the remaining hourly 

data in the 24-hour block. [Rule 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

 Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and DLN tuning. Some of the CEMS 

emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding CO CEMS 

compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 25 and 26 of this section. All 

periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data obtained during the 

described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, DLN tuning) may be used for the 

appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such 

episodes to the extent practicable. Data recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the 

episode was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to 

minimize hourly emissions that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that 

occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

 Availability: Monitor availability for the CEMS shall be 95% or greater in any calendar quarter. The 

quarterly excess emissions report shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 95% 

availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report identifying the 

problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be taken to achieve 

95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within the next calendar 

quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the minimum monitor 

availability shall be violations of this permit.

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(12), F.A.C.; 40 CFR 75] 

33. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements: In accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, the permittee 

shall install, calibrate, operate and maintain an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the ammonia 

injection rate to the SCR system by the time of the initial compliance tests. The permittee shall document 

and periodically update the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet permitted emissions levels 

over the range of load conditions allowed by this permit by comparing NOX emissions recorded by the 

CEM system with ammonia flow rates recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOX monitor 

downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee shall operate at the ammonia flow rate and, as applicable for fuel 

oil firing, the water-to-fuel ratio, that are consistent with the documented flow rate for the CT load 

condition.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

FPL operates the Riviera Plant (RP), which is an existing power plant (SIC No. 4911). The plant currently 

consists of two steam generating units designated as Units 3 and 4 that produce 300 MW each of electrical 

power. Units 3 and 4 use residual fuel oil and natural gas. There are two 298-foot stacks, four fuel oil storage 

tanks, water intake structures for once-through cooling and other ancillary equipment. 

The project is a plant conversion that includes the construction of a nominal 1,250 MW natural gas-fueled 

combined cycle unit (Unit 5) and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of Units 3 and 4. The 

converted plant will be called the Riviera Beach Energy Center (RBEC). Unit 5 will consist of: 

• Three nominal 265 MW combustion turbine-electrical generators (CTG) with evaporative inlet cooling 

systems; 

• Three supplementary-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) 

reactors; 

• Three maximum 460 million Btu per hour, lower heating value (mmBtu/hr, LHV), natural gas-fueled duct 

burners (DB) located in the three HRSG (one DB/HRSG); 

• Three 149-feet exhaust stacks; 

• One nominal 6.3 million gallon distillate fuel oil storage tank; and 

• One common nominal 500 MW steam-electrical generator (STG). 

Unit 5 will use ultralow sulfur distillate (ULSD) fuel oil as backup fuel. 

Additional ancillary equipment to be installed includes: a permanent auxiliary boiler; a temporary boiler used 

during the construction phase; two emergency generators; two process (fuel) heaters; a diesel fire pump; and a 

gas compression station. The details of the equipment to be installed are listed in the table below. 

The project includes and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of Units 3 and 4 and the respective 

stacks as well as four fuel oil storage tanks. When emissions from Unit 5 are considered and offset by 

reductions from the shut down and dismantlement of Units 3 and 4, there will not be a significant net emission 

increase in any PSD pollutant. 

{Note: Throughout this permit, the electrical generating capacities represent nominal values for the given 

operating conditions.}

a. Concentration standards are given in terms of parts per million, by volume, dry at 15 percent oxygen and abbreviated as 

ppmvd. 

b. The mass emission rate standards in pounds per hour (lb/hr) are based on a turbine inlet condition of 59° F and may be adjusted 

to actual test conditions in accordance with the performance curves and/or equations filed with the Department. 

c. “Unit operating day” means a 24-hour period between 12 midnight and the following midnight during which any fuel is 

combusted at any time in the unit. It is not necessary for fuel to be combusted continuously for the entire 24-hour period. 

[40 CFR 60.4420] 

d. Compliance with the continuous 30-unit operating days rolling CO standard shall be demonstrated based on data collected by 

the required CEMS. The initial EPA Method 10 tests associated with the certification of the CEMS instruments shall also be 

used to demonstrate initial performance guarantees for natural gas, oil, and DB mode. 

e. Continuous compliance with the 30-unit operating days rolling NOX standards shall be demonstrated based on data collected 

by the required CEMS and will also insure compliance with the less stringent Subpart KKKK limits of 15 and 42 ppmvd for 

gas and fuel oil respectively on a 30-unit operating day rolling average basis. The initial EPA Method 7E or Method 20 tests 

associated with demonstration of compliance with 40 CFR 60, Subpart KKKK or certification of the CEMS instruments shall 

also be used to demonstrate compliance with the individual standards for natural gas, fuel oil, and duct burner modes during 

the time of those tests. NOX mass emission rates are defined as oxides of nitrogen expressed as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). 

f. Compliance with the VOC standards shall be demonstrated by conducting tests in accordance with EPA Method 25A. 

Optionally, EPA Method 18 may also be performed to deduct emissions of methane and ethane. The emission standards are 

based on VOC measured as methane. After initial compliance with the VOC standards is demonstrated, annual compliance 

tests for VOC emissions are not required. 

g. Compliance with the NH3 slip standard shall be demonstrated by conducting tests in accordance with EPA Method CTM-027 

or EPA Method 320. 

h. The clean fuel sulfur specifications and visible emissions standard effectively limit the potential emissions of SAM and SO2

from the CTG. Compliance with the fuel sulfur specifications shall be determined by the ASTM methods for determination of 

fuel sulfur as detailed in the draft permit. 

i. The clean fuel sulfur specifications, low CO and NOX limits, and the visible emissions standard will effectively limit 

PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions. Compliance with the visible emissions standard shall be demonstrated by conducting tests in 

accordance with EPA Method 9.

EXCESS EMISSIONS

{Permitting Note: The following conditions apply only to the SIP-based emissions standards specified in 

Condition No. 10 of this section. Rule 62-210.700, F.A.C. (Excess Emissions) cannot vary or supersede any 

federal provision of the NSPS, or Acid Rain programs.} 

11. Operating Procedures: The emission standards established by this permit rely on “good operating 

practices” to reduce emissions. Therefore, all operators and supervisors shall be properly trained to operate 

and maintain the CTG, DB, HRSG, and pollution control systems in accordance with the guidelines and 

procedures established by each manufacturer. The training shall include good operating practices as well as 

methods of minimizing excess emissions. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

12. Alternate Visible Emissions Standard: Visible emissions due to startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions 

shall not exceed 10% opacity except for up to ten, 6-minute averaging periods during a calendar day, which 

shall not exceed 20% opacity. [Applicant Request and Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

13. Definitions:

a. Startup is defined as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit which has shut down or 

ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, pressure, chemical or pollution 

control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions. [Rule 62-210.200(245), F.A.C.] 

b. Shutdown is the cessation of the operation of an emissions unit for any purpose.

c. Malfunction is defined as any unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control 

equipment or process equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual 

manner. [Rule 62-210.200(159), F.A.C.] 

14. Excess Emissions Prohibited: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in any 

compliance determinations based on CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

15. Excess Emissions Allowed: As specified in this condition, excess emissions resulting from startup, 

shutdown, fuel switching and documented malfunctions are allowed provided that operators employ the 

best operational practices to minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such incidents. For 

each CTG/HRSG system, NOX and CO emission data exclusions resulting from startup, shutdown, or 

documented malfunctions shall not exceed two hours in any 24-hour period except for the specific cases 

listed below. A “documented malfunction” means a malfunction that is documented within one working 

day of detection by contacting the Compliance Authority by telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic 

mail. 

a. STG/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of the steam turbine system, NOX and CO emission 

data exclusions for any CTG/HRSG system shall not exceed eight (8) hours in any 24-hour period. A 

cold “startup of the steam turbine system” is defined as startup of the 3-on-1 combined cycle system 

following a shutdown of the steam turbine lasting at least 48 hours. 

{Permitting Note: During a cold startup of the STG system, each CTG/HRSG system is sequentially 

brought on line at low load to gradually increase the temperature of the STG and prevent thermal 

metal fatigue. Note that shutdowns and documented malfunctions are separately regulated in 

accordance with the requirements of this condition.} 

b. Shutdown Steam Turbine System: For shutdown of steam turbine system, NOX and CO emission data 

exclusions for any CTG/HRSG system shall not exceed three (3) hours in any 24-hour period. 

c. CTG/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of a CTG/HRSG system, NOX and CO emission 

data exclusions shall not exceed four (4) hours in any 24-hour period. “Cold startup of a CTG/HRSG 

system” is defined as a startup after the pressure in the high-pressure (HP) steam drum falls below 450 

psig for at least a one-hour period. 

d. Fuel Switching: For fuel switching, NOX and CO emission data exclusions shall not exceed two (2) 

hours in any 24-hour period. 

16. Ammonia Injection: Ammonia injection shall begin as soon as operation of the CTG/HRSG system 

achieves the operating parameters specified by the manufacturer. As authorized by Rule 62-210.700(5), 

F.A.C., the above conditions allow excess emissions only for specifically defined periods of startup, 

shutdown, fuel switching, and documented malfunction of the CTG. 

[Design; Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-210.700, F.A.C.] 

17. DLN Tuning: CEMS data collected during initial or other major DLN tuning sessions may be excluded by 

the permittee from the CEMS compliance demonstration provided the tuning session is performed in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. A “major tuning session” may occur after completion 

of initial construction, a major repair, or other similar circumstances. Prior to performing any major tuning 

session, where the intent is to exclude data from the CEMS compliance demonstration, the permittee shall 

provide the Compliance Authority with an advance notice of at least 7 days that details the activity and 

proposed tuning schedule. The notice may be by telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic mail.

procedure pursuant to 62-297.620, F.A.C. 

[Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

19. Initial Compliance Determinations: Initial compliance tests shall be conducted within 60 days after 

achieving the maximum production rate at which the unit will be operated, but not later than 180 days after 

the initial startup of the unit. Each CTG shall be stack tested to demonstrate initial compliance with the 

emission standards for CO, NOX, VOC, visible emissions, and ammonia slip. Each unit shall be tested 

when firing natural gas, when using the duct burners and when firing distillate fuel oil. Referenced method 

data collected during the required Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATAs) may be used to demonstrate 

compliance with the initial CO and NOX standards. With appropriate flow measurements (or fuel 

measurements and approved F-factors), CEMS data may be used to demonstrate compliance with the CO 

and NOX mass rate emissions standards. CO and NOX emissions recorded by the CEMS shall also be 

reported for each run during tests for visible emissions, VOC and ammonia slip. The Department may 

require the permittee to conduct additional tests after major replacement or major repair of any air pollution 

control equipment, such as the SCR catalyst, oxidation catalyst, DLN combustors, etc. 

[Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, F.A.C. and 40 CFR 60.8]. 

20. Continuous Compliance: The permittee shall demonstrate continuous compliance with the 30-unit 

operating days rolling average CO and NOX emissions standards based on data collected by the certified 

CEMS. Within 45 days of conducting any RATA on a CEMS, the permittee shall submit a report to the 

Compliance Authority summarizing results of the RATA. Compliance with the CO emission standards also 

serves as an indicator of efficient fuel combustion and oxidation catalyst operation, which reduces 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds.

21. Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th), each CTG shall 

be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for visible emissions and ammonia slip. 

Testing to determine the ammonia slip shall be conducted while firing the primary fuel. NOX emissions 

recorded by the CEMS shall be reported for each ammonia slip test run. CO emissions recorded by the 

CEMS shall be reported for the visible emissions observation period. 

{Permitting Note: After initial compliance with the VOC standards is demonstrated, annual compliance 

tests for VOC emissions are not required. Compliance with the continuously monitored CO standards shall 

indicate efficient combustion and low VOC emissions. The Department retains the right to require VOC 

testing if CO limits are exceeded or for the reasons given in Appendix SC, Condition 17, Special 

Compliance Tests.} 

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, F.A.C.] 

22. Compliance for SAM, SO2 and PM/PM10/PM2.5: In stack compliance testing is not required for SAM, SO2

and PM/PM10/PM2.5. Compliance with the limits and control requirements for SAM, SO2 and 

PM/PM10/PM2.5 is based on the recordkeeping required in Specific Condition 28, the visible emissions 

standard and the CO/NOX continuous monitoring. [Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS 

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring System(s) (CEMS): The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and 

operate CEMS to measure and record the emissions of CO and NOX from the combined cycle CTG in a 

manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this section. 

Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly functioning prior to the initial 

performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions in excess of a CO or NOX standard 

(and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority. 

a. CO Monitors: The CO monitors shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance 

Specification 4 or 4A within 60 calendar days of achieving permitted capacity as defined in Rule 62-

297.310(2), F.A.C., but no later than 180 calendar days after initial startup. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment 

Report in Section 7 shall be made each calendar quarter, and reported semiannually to the Compliance 

Authority. The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in 

Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span 

values shall be set appropriately considering the allowable methods of operation and corresponding 

emission standards. 

b. NOX Monitors: Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance with the 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant to Subparts F 

and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX monitor shall be performed using EPA 

Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. 

c. Diluent Monitors: The oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOX are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% 

oxygen. If a CO2 monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using Ffactors that are appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance and 

quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

24. CEMS Data Requirements: 

a. Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, operation, 

shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration 

checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze,

and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the 

CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an 

algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the 

owner or operator may develop through manual stack test measurements a curve of moisture contents in 

the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to 

enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS 

shall be expressed as ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen. The CEMS shall be used to demonstrate 

compliance with the CEMS emission standards for CO and NOX as specified in this permit. For 

purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emissions standards of this permit, missing (or 

excluded) data shall not be substituted. Upon request by the Department, the CEMS emission rates 

shall be corrected to International Organization of Standardization (ISO) conditions. 

b. Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average value shall 

be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit 

combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, an hourly value 

shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit 

operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less than two such data points are available, the 

hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance 

with the permit standards for oil firing. The permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points 

collected during an hour to calculate the hourly average values. 

c. 30-Unit Operating Day Rolling Averages: Compliance shall be determined after each operating day by 

calculating the arithmetic average of all the valid hourly averages from that operating day and the prior 

29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with the 30-unit operating day rolling 

CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, subpart D, shall not be 

utilized. Instead, the 30-unit operating day rolling average shall be determined using the remaining 

hourly data in the 30-day rolling period. 

{Permitting Note: There may be more than one 30-unit operating day compliance demonstration 

required for CO and NOX emissions depending on the use of alternate fuels.}

d. Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and DLN tuning. Some of the CEMS 

emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding CEMS 

compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 15 and 17 of this section. All 

periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data obtained during the 

described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, DLN tuning) may be used for the 

appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such 

episodes to the extent practicable. Data recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the 

episode was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to 

minimize hourly emissions that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that 

occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

e. Data Exclusion during Installation of Oxidation Catalyst: The permittee may exclude CO CEMS data 

in excess of the 7.5 ppmvd @15% O2 from the 30 operating day rolling average calculation during the 

installation of the oxidation catalyst (which shall not exceed 12 months) provided all reasonable efforts 

are used to minimize such emissions. However, all CEMS data must be included when determining 

whether there is a net emission increase [as defined in Section 62-210.200 (definitions), F.A.C.] of CO 

greater or equal to the significant emissions rate of 100 tons per year.

shall install, calibrate, operate and maintain an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the ammonia 

injection rate to the SCR system by the time of the initial compliance tests. The permittee shall document 

and periodically update the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet permitted emissions 

levels over the range of load conditions allowed by this permit by comparing NOX emissions recorded by 

the CEM system with ammonia flow rates recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOX monitor 

downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee shall operate at the ammonia flow rate and, as applicable for fuel 

oil firing, the water-to-fuel ratio, that are consistent with the documented flow rate for the combustion 

turbine load condition. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.]

26. Monitoring of Capacity: The permittee shall monitor and record the operating rate of each CTG and HRSG 

DB system on a daily average basis, considering the number of hours of operation during each day 

(including the times of startup, shutdown, malfunction and fuel switching). Such monitoring shall be made 

using a monitoring component of the CEMS required above, or by monitoring daily rates of consumption 

and heat content of each allowable fuel in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 75 Appendix D. 

[Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

27. Monthly Operations Summary: By the fifth calendar day of each month, the permittee shall record the 

following for each fuel in a written or electronic log for each CTG for the previous month of operation: fuel 

consumption, hours of operation, hours of duct firing, and the updated 12-month rolling totals for each. 

Information recorded and stored as an electronic file shall be available for inspection and printing within at 

least three days of a request by the Department. The fuel consumption shall be monitored in accordance 

with the provisions of 40 CFR 75, Appendix D. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

28. Fuel Sulfur Records: The permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the fuel sulfur limits specified in 

this permit by maintaining the following records of the sulfur contents. 

a. Natural Gas: Compliance with the fuel sulfur limit for natural gas shall be demonstrated by keeping

at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall 

constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under 

Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any 

subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the 

presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. 

A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must 

contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s 

file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; 

the name, address and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the 

address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the 

petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when 

and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all 

disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of 

the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or 

modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the 

petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an 

explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the 

relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with 

respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which 

the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall 

contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. 

Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a 

petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it 

in this Written Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected 

by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to 

become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The FPL Port Everglades Plant currently consists of four fossil fuel steam generator that together 

produce approximately 1,200 megawatts (MW) of electrical power and 12 small simple cycle combustion 

turbine generators (CTGs) that together produce approximately 504 MW. The steam generators use 

residual fuel oil and natural gas and exhaust through four 344-foot stacks. The small CTGs use natural 

gas and No. 2 fuel oil and exhaust through 44-foot stacks. There are fuel oil storage tanks, water intake 

structures for once-through cooling and other ancillary equipment. 

PROPOSED PROJECT

The project includes the construction of a nominal 1,250 MW natural gas-fueled combined cycle unit 

(Unit 5) and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of the four fossil fuel steam generators. 

The new unit (Unit 5) will be called the Port Everglades Next Generation Clean Energy Center and 

abbreviated as PEEC. 

Unit 5 will consist of three nominal 250 MW CTGs and three heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). 

The HRSG will utilize the waste heat from the combustion turbines to produce steam to be utilized in a 

single nominal 500 MW steam turbine generator. Each of the three CTG/HRSG sets will exhaust 

through a 149-foot stack.

The primary fuel for Unit 5 will be natural gas and ultralow sulfur distillate (ULSD) fuel oil will be used 

as backup fuel. Additional ancillary equipment to be installed includes: an auxiliary boiler; two 

temporary boilers used during construction; two emergency generators; a diesel fire pump; two process 

heaters; and a gas compression station. Details of the equipment to be installed are listed below.

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

21. Continuous Emissions Monitoring System(s) (CEMS): The permittee shall install, calibrate, 

maintain, and operate CEMS to measure and record the emissions of NOX from the combined cycle 

CTGs in a manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission 

standards of this section. Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly 

functioning prior to the initial performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions 

in excess of a NOX standard (and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify 

the Compliance Authority. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1139 of 1157
a. NOX Monitors: Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance 

with the requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to Subparts F and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. 

b. Diluent Monitors: The O2 or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored at 

the location where NOX are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. If 

a CO2 monitor is installed, the O2 content of the flue gas shall be calculated using 

F-factors that are appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance 

and quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

22. CEMS Data Requirements

a. Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, 

operation, shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, 

repairs, calibration checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and 

operated to sample, analyze, and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures 

concentration on a wet basis, the CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture 

content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry 

basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the owner or operator may develop through manual stack test 

measurements a curve of moisture contents in the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable

fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to 

a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS shall be expressed as ppmvd corrected to 

15% O2. The CEMS shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS emission 

standards for NOX as specified in this permit. For purposes of determining compliance with the 

CEMS emissions standards of this permit, missing (or excluded) data shall not be substituted. 

Upon request by the Department, the CEMS emission rates shall be corrected to International 

Organization of Standardization (ISO) conditions. 

: 

b. Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average 

value shall be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, 

where the unit combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this 

requirement, an hourly value shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a 

minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less 

than two such data points are available, the hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which 

any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance with the permit standards for oil firing. The 

permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points collected during an hour to calculate the 

hourly average values.

c. 30-Unit Operating Day Rolling Averages: Compliance shall be determined after each operating 

day by calculating the arithmetic average of all the valid hourly averages from that operating day 

and the prior 29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with the 30-unit 

operating day rolling CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR 

Part 75 Subpart D, shall not be utilized. Instead, the 30-unit operating day rolling average shall 

be determined using the remaining hourly data in the 30-day rolling period. 

{Permitting Note: There may be more than one 30-unit operating day compliance demonstration 

required for NOX emissions depending on the use of alternate fuels.}

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 1140 of 1157
d. Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and combustor tuning. Some of the 

CEMS emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding 

CEMS compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 12 and 13 of this 

section. All periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data 

obtained during the described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, 

combustor tuning) may be used for the appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for such episodes to the extent practicable. Data 

recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the episode was caused entirely or in part 

by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process failure, which may 

reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize hourly emissions 

that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that occur entirely or in 

part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process failure, which 

may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

e. Availability: Monitor availability for the CEMS shall be 95% or greater in any calendar quarter. 

The quarterly excess emissions report shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the 

event 95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will 

be taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective 

actions within the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to 

achieve the minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit, except as otherwise 

authorized by the Department’s Compliance Authority.

RE: Status Update To FPL's BART-Eligible Units 

Dear Mr. Koerner:

Vl~iOI\! OF AIR 

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

Since the 2002 declaration of FPL's BART-eligible units, recent facility changes have altered the 

composition of our BART-eligible fleet. At FDEP's request, FPL provides the following status update to 

its BART-eligible fleet: 

The conversion of the Cape Canaveral Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired plant, The Cape 

Canaveral Energy Center, has removed the fossil steam boilers Cape Canaveral I &2 from the population 

of BART-eligible Units. The new combined cycle gas-fired units employ Best Available Control 

Technology (BACT) as outlined in its Air Construction penn it 0090006-0056-AC issued by the 

Department on July 23, 2009. The former fossil steam boilers, demolished on August 22,2010 were 

permitted to bum 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel oil and natural gas. The conversion to highly efficient combined 

cycle technology using clean-burning natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing 

emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate Matter from the site. 

The conversion of the Rivera Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired plant, The Riviera Beach 

Energy Center, has removed the fossil steam boiler Rivera 4 from the population of BART-eligible Units. 

Unit 3 at Riviera was not BART-eligible due to its in-service date, but it too was demolished as part of the 

conversion. The new combined cycle gas-fired units employ Best Available Control Technology (BACT) 

as outlined in its Air Construction permit 0990042-006-AC issued by the Department on June 10,2009. 

The fonner fossil steam boilers, demolished on June 19, 20 11 were pennitted to burn 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel 

oi l and natural gas. The conversion to highly efficient combined cycle technology using clean-burning 

natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate 

Malter from the site. 

The planned modernization of the Port Everglades Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired 

plant will further red uce FPL's BART-eligible fleet. The Port Everglades Energy Center, will remove the 

fossil steam boilers 3& 4 from the population of BART-eligible Units. Units 1&2 at Port Everglades were 

not BART-eligible due to their in-service dates, however, they too will be demolished as part of the 

modernization. The new combined cycle gas-fired units will employ Best Available Control Technology 

(BACT). The Site Certification Application and the Air Construction Penn it Application for the POIt

Everglades modernization are expected to be sent to the Department by the end of this month. The fossil 

steam boilers I through 4 are anticipated to be demolished in the first quarter of2013 prior to the BART 

compliance deadline of December 31,2013. The boilers were pennitted to bum 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel oil 

and natural gas. The modernization to highly efficient combined cycle technology using clean-burning 

natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate 

Matter from the site. 

These conversions/modernizations along with new unit installations such as the West County Energy 

Center, Turkey Point Unit 5, Manatee Unit 3, Martin Unit 8, the discontinued operation of Turkey Point 2 

and limited operation of Turkey Point 1 have substantially reduced the emissions of visibility impairing 

pollutants to the Florida airshed in support of the Clean Air Visibility Rule goals.
