Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Rule 250, Stationary Gas Turbines, applies to all stationary gas turbines rated 0.3 megawatts (MW) and larger.

Currently, there are two facilities, Roseville Energy Park and City of Roseville Power Plant #2, subject to t his rule.

This rule amendment was prompted by a notification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)

that Rule 250 did not meet current Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements. This finding

was provided as a result of t he U.S. EPA’s review of the District’s 2014 RACT SIP Analysis Report.

T h is amendment removed s everal exemptions, add ed limits during startup and shutdown, update d the rule

standards, and eliminate outdated references and definitions.

The most notable pro posed changes are:

• The exemptions for pipeline and chemical processing gas turbines have been removed.

• References to efficiency have been removed from the rule standards, as they are no longer required.

• Limits during start

- up and shutdown period s have been added for both simple cycle gas turbines and for

combined cycle gas turbines.
