and shutdown? 2. Would

the source

be willing

to take alternate

shorter averaging

time emissions

limits

that

will apply

only during periods

of normal operation?

If so, what

are those

limits

and averaging

times? Operations1. What

is the definition

of

a “shutdown”

at the facility

and

for this

new piece

of equipment. 2.

If SPI proposes

to limit

the number

of startups

and shutdowns,

what

is the maximum

number

of startup and shutdown

events

(the application

states

an average

number

of

2 shutdowns

per year)

that

are

to occur

in

a year

and their duration

(the application

describes

the cold

start

of

24 hours)?

What

are

the elevated maximum

level

of emissions

for each criteria pollutant

per event

in this case?

If the block averages

from Emissions

1. above includes

periods

that

may contain

startup

and shutdown

events,

then this point

may

be

of less significance. 3. What

is the actual

steam

limit

to

be imposed

on

the

new boiler? General

Criteria1. What

types

of fuel

are currently

permitted

at the facility

and what additional

fuels

may

be burned

in the future? 2. Are there

any restrictions

on

the amount

of natural

gas

or other

fuel

to

be burned

at the facility?

This

will influence

some

fuel handling conditions

and perhaps

source

test requirements. Thanks

for your

help. Omer Shalev Environmental
