 2.Under 40 CFR § 63.7575, process heater means an enclosed device using controlled flame, and the unit's primary purpose is to transfer heat indirectly to a process material (liquid, gas, or solid)

 or to a heat transfer material (e.g., glycol or a mixture of glycol and water) for use in a process unit, instead of generating steam. Process heaters are devices in which the combustion gases do not

 come into direct contact with process materials. A device combusting solid waste, as defined in § 241.3 of this chapter, is not a process heater unless the device is exempt from the definition of a 

 solid waste incineration unit as provided in section 129(g)(1) of the Clean Air Act. Process heaters do not include units used for comfort heat or space heat, food preparation for on-site 

 consumption, or autoclaves. Waste heat process heaters are excluded from this definition.

 3. Under 40 CFR § 63.7575 a unit designed to burn gas 1 subcategory includes any boiler or process heater that burns only natural gas, refinery gas, and/or other gas 1 fuels. Gaseous fuel boilers 

 and process heaters that burn liquid fuel for periodic testing of liquid fuel, maintenance, or operator training, not to exceed a combined total of 48 hours during any calendar year, are included in 

 this definition. Gaseous fuel boilers and process heaters that burn liquid fuel during periods of gas curtailment or gas supply interruptions of any duration are also included in this definition. 

 Other gas 1 fuel means a gaseous fuel that is not natural gas or refinery gas and does not exceed a maximum concentration of 40 micrograms/cubic meters of mercury. 4.

 Under 40 CFR § 63.7575, oxygen trim system means a system of monitors that is used to maintain excess air at the desired level in a combustion device. A typical system consists of a flue gas 

 oxygen and/or CO monitor that automatically provides a feedback signal to the combustion air controller.

PART VI

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (QAQCP)

1. INTRODUCTION

In accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix BV, MGE is require to develop and implement a quality assurance quality control (QA/QC) program for continuous emission 

monitoring systems, excepted monitoring systems approved under appendix D and E of 40 CFR 75 and alternative monitoring systems under subpart E of 40 CFR subpart 75. 

This document describes the QA/QC procedures for the excepted monitoring systems approved under appendix D, G and E that are employed to measure emissions at the 

Madison Gas and Electric Company's (MGE) Blount Generating Station. These monitoring systems measure emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon 

dioxide (CO2) from Boilers B28 and B29 which are required to comply with the Federal Acid Rain Program enacted under Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. 

1.1 Purpose

The primary purpose of this QA/QC Plan is to ensure that MGE maintains continuous compliance with the monitoring requirements of the Acid Rain Program (ARP) as 

promulgated under Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 40 Part 75. Appendix B of these regulations requires a written plan that describes in detail complete step-by-step 

procedures and operations for each of the following activities: preventive maintenance, recordkeeping and reporting, maintenance records, instrument calibrations, and fuel 

sampling. This document is intended to be used as a reference for the correct operation of emissions monitoring system for all responsible individuals including 

technicians, environmental specialists and the Designated Representative. 

In addition, this QA/QC Plan is intended to ensure that monitoring data from these systems can be used to satisfy State of Wisconsin compliance demonstration regulatory 

requirements promulgated under Wisconsin Administrative Code, Part NR 439. By maintaining compliance with these regulatory programs, this QA/QC Plan will help 

MGE maximize monitoring availability, accuracy, and data quality.

1.2 Scope

This QA/QC Plan implements the regulatory requirements for the QA/QC procedures as required under 40 CFR Part 75, Appendix B. A functioning QA/QC Plan requires 

four major elements:

1. Specifications for acceptable system performance.

2. Periodic assessment of system performance.

3. Preventative procedures to limit excursions from these acceptable specifications.

4. Corrective action procedures when the system exceeds acceptable specifications.

Federal regulations under 40 CFR Part 75, Appendices D, G and E provide the specifications for acceptable performance. These regulations also specify the required 

periodic assessments of system performance in the form of routine checks and audits. Together with the regulatory requirements for system performance, this plan is 

designed to function as a closed-loop system where the quality of the monitoring data is periodically assessed and QC measures in the form of preventative maintenance or 

corrective action are taken when specifications are exceeded. Each major activity associated with the continuous emission monitoring in this QA/QC Plan identifies the 

individual responsible for the activity, the procedures for completing the activity, and the acceptable conditions or specifications.

 1.3 Implementation

The Senior Environmental Specialist has the primary responsibility for ensuring that the excepted monitoring systems approved under appendices D, G and E of 40 CFR 75

are operated and maintained in accordance with this QA/QC Plan. This will be accomplished through the continued evaluation of: (1) emissions data; (2) maintenance 

records; and (3) quality assurance test results. Records related to the performance and maintenance of the monitoring systemwill be compiled and maintained by the Senior 

Environmental Specialist. Additionally, the Senior Environmental Specialist will provide guidance pertaining corrective action response and regulatory interpretation. 
ID 113004430, Permit No. 113004430-P20 – Final Permit 

66

The Senior Environmental Specialist has been authorized to act on behalf of the Designated Representative as an Agent who has the authority to submit monitoring 

plan, QA and emissions data from the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) Client Tool up to the EPA Host System and to retrieve data from 

the EPA Host System. In accordance with the ECMPS reporting instructions for monitoring plans, quality assurance and certification data, and emissions data, the 

ECMPS evaluation tool will be used to determine the completeness and accuracy of the data. The Senior Environmental Specialist will exclusively use the ECMPS 

Client Tool to electronically submit data to the EPA. 

The Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician is responsible for performing periodic performance inspections, preventative and corrective maintenance, and 

quality assurance tests. 

 1.4 Document Control

The QA/QC Plan is an important regulatory document. As a result, strict document controls are required. The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for reviewing 

the QA/QC Plan annually and for implementing revisions when they become necessary. As the QA/QC Plan is updated, the Senior Environmental Specialist will distribute 

the updated versions of the QA/QC Plan to appropriate personnel and departments and collect all obsolete versions.

A copy of the revised QA/QC Plan will be sent to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for their review and comment.

2. PLANT DESCRIPTION

The Blount Generating Station is a natural gas-fired electric utility steam generating plant. Boilers 8 (B28) and 9 (B29) are Babcock and Wilcox wall-fired boilers constructed 

in 1957 and 1961 respectively. Each boiler supplies steam to an electric generator with generating capacities in excess of 25 MW(e). Both boilers are subject to the Acid Rain 

Program (ARP), the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule (GHG). 40 CFR 75.53 requires units subject to the ARP to maintain systems that

continuously monitor and report opacity and emissions of SO2, NOx, CO2 and other operating data. Boiler 8 and 9 meet the following 40 CFR 72.2 definitions of gas-fired and 

peaking units.

 1. Natural gas or other gaseous fuel (including coal-derived gaseous fuel) for at least 90.0 percent of the unit’s average annual heat input during the previous three calendar 

 years and for at least 85.0 percent of the annual heat input in each of those calendar years; and

 2. Fuel oil for the remaining heat input, if any.

Peaking unit means a unit that has:

 1. An average capacity factor no more than 10.0 percent during the previous three calendar years; and

 2. A capacity factor of no more than 20.0 percent in each of those calendar years.

 The gas-fired boilers are exempt from monitoring opacity in accordance with 40 CFR 75.14(c). The gas-fired and peaking unit qualifications are maintained in the 

 electronic monitoring plan found in the ECMPS Client Tool application.

3. MONITORING METHODOLOGY DESCRIPTION

Gas fired peaking units subject to the ARP may use alternate monitoring methodologies described in 40 CDR 75 to determine SO2, NOx and CO2 emissions, in lieu of a CEMS. 

The alternate monitoring methodologies employed by MGE are described in detail in this section.

 3.1 Appendix D and G Methodology

The procedures of 40 CFR 75 Appendix D are used to estimate hourly SO2 mass emissions and heat input from gas-fired or oil-fired units. The procedures of 40 CFR 75, 

Appendix G are used to estimate CO2 mass emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels.
ID 113004430, Permit No. 113004430-P20 – Final Permit 

67

 The alternate monitoring methodologies of Appendix D and G requires the continuous monitoring of fuel flow rate and periodic sampling of fuel. The monitoring system 

 measures gas flow rate in 100 standard cubic feet per hour. The gas flow rate is used to calculate SO2 mass emissions and heat input rate. The system is comprised of a gas 

 flow monitoring system and a DAHS.

SO2 emissions are determined by calculating the heat input of the natural gas and using the sulfur content of the natural gas. CO2 emissions are monitored using the methods 

defined in 40 CFR 75, Appendix G. Heat input and a carbon-based fuel factor are used to calculate CO2 mass emissions using Equation G-4 in Appendix G. The following section 

of the plan identifies the individual components which comprise the fuel flow monitoring system. 

3.1.1 Fuel Flow Meters

 MGE maintains a group of three identical Annubar natural gas fuel flow meters at the Blount Street Generating Station. MGE rotates the installation of the meters 

 between boilers 8 and 9 to facilitate the removal of the meters for quality assurance accuracy testing. A summary of the monitoring systems are provided in Table 1.

Spare GAS - GFFM 018 DP 0117006

Rotary fuel flow meters are used to measure natural gas combusted for start-up and burner ignition. In accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix.2.1.4.1 these fuel flow meters 

are not subject to calibration requirements of Appendix D. However, MGE contracts an independent laboratory to service and calibrate the meters annually. 

MGE performs periodic sampling of the fuel to determine the sulfur content and gross calorific value (GCV) in accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix D. The details

pertaining to fuel sampling are described in section 3 of this plan.

3.1.2 Pressure Transmitters

Multivariable transmitters are used to measure differential pressure, static pressure and process temperature from the primary fuel flow meters and calculate the fuel flow. 

 3.2 APPENDIX E METHODOLOGY

The procedures of 40 CFR 75, Appendix E are used to estimate the average NOx emission rate and hourly NOx rate from the gas-fired and oil-fired peaking units.

Appendix E requires the hourly determination of the heat input to the unit, using a fuel flow rate measured by a certified Appendix D fuel flow meter, in conjunction with the GCV of 

the fuel. An emission test must also be conducted at four different loads to develop a correlation curve of NOx emission rate vs heat input rate. This curve is then used to estimate 

the hourly NOx emission rates. A summary of the NOx monitoring systems are provided in Table 2 below.

3.2.1. Oxygen Monitor

Appendix E requires the continued monitoring of the boiler excess oxygen (O2) levels. MGE uses an oxygen analyzer to measure the excess O2 concentration of each 

boiler. The two major components of the O2 monitoring system are the analyzer and the intelligent field transmitter.

3.3 Data Acquisition and Handling System

The DAHS consists of a datalogger and a Microsoft Windows-based server. The datalogger serves as the interface between the process and fuel flow data and the system server. 

The datalogger scans the input values once each second, digitizes the analog signals and scales the values to engineering units. The datalogger also calculates minute and hourly 

averages and stores these values in an internal battery-backed RAM. These values are automatically retrieved by the server.

The server provides data polling and archiving, data editing, alarming, recordkeeping and report generating. It creates hourly pollutant concentration, calculates emissions, and 

creates electronic files of hourly emissions.

3.4 Monitoring Plan

The monitoring plan describes the strategy for monitoring emissions. The monitoring plan defines the relationship between stacks and units, specifies locations at the facility from 

which emissions are monitored and identifies monitoring systems. The monitoring plan also identifies operational characteristics and qualifications for alternate monitoring 

approaches.

The content the monitoring plan is defined by the EPA. The monitoring plan is a living document that must be continuously updated to reflect changes to the monitoring systems. 

Changes to the monitoring plan are submitted to the EPA through the ECMPS Client Tool. The monitoring plan that resides within the ECMPS Client Tool is the official 

monitoring plan for the facility.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL ACTIVITIES

Quality-assurance tests for the CEMS include weekly, annual and periodic frequencies. Additional periodic assessments, inspections and maintenance activities complete the 

strategy for ensuring the CEMS is operated at an acceptable level of performance. The review shall be completed each day as practical, Monday through Friday, and shall 

consist of the following activities:

4.1 Daily

 The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for reviewing the CEM data daily. The purpose for the review is to assure the quality of the data and to initiate 

 corrective action should the review indicate the quality of the data is unacceptable. The review shall be completed each day as practical, Monday through Friday, and 

 shall consist of the following activities:

 1. Evaluation of a daily average emission report.

 2. Evaluation of a DAHS error report.

 3. Evaluation of active DAHS alarms.

 Should the review reveal a data quality concern, the Senior Environmental Specialist will take appropriate action to correct the deficiency.

4.2 Weekly

An Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technicians is responsible for manually performing a calibration error (CE) test of the oxygen monitoring system once per week. 

MGE schedules the CE test utilizing its maintenance management system (MMS). The primary purpose of an oxygen analyzer is to give an accurate representation of the 

percentage oxygen in the gas stream. The manufacturer recommends that the system should be calibrated periodically to maintain an accuracy which may otherwise be 

reduced over time due to cell aging. The CE test is designed to check the accuracy of the analyzers at their zero and high-scale ranges as the primary indicator of the oxygen 

monitors system performance.
ID 113004430, Permit No. 113004430-P20 – Final Permit 

69

MGE uses certified compressed gas cylinders containing known concentrations of oxygen in a nitrogen balance to calibrate the oxygen monitoring systems. An Industrial 

Electrician and Instrument Technicians follows the procedures defined in the Rosemount Analytical World Class 3000 Instruction Manual to execute the CE test.

Should the CE test reveal a deficiency, an Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician shall take corrective action and document the event in the maintenance work order. 

4.3 Monthly

In accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix D, MGE is required to collects a natural gas fuel sample monthly for the purpose of determining the gross calorific value of the 

fuel. The analysis must demonstrate that the gross calorific value of the natural gas is between 950 and 1100 Btu per standard cubic feet. The Senior Environmental 

Specialist is responsible for the collection of the sample and the preparation of the sample for delivery to an independent laboratory for analysis.

The sample will be analyzed in accordance with one of the following methods: ASTM D1826-94, ASTM D3588-98, ASTM D4891-89, GPA Standard 2172-96, GPA 

Standard 2261-00 or an alternate method approved in writing by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Upon receipt of the analysis, the Senior Environmental Specialist will enter the results of the analysis into the DAHS. The gross calorific value of the fuel is used to calculate 

the heat input and CO2 emissions from the combustion of natural gas for all operating hours beginning with the date and time that the sample was collected and ending when 

the next sample is obtained.

4.4 Semi-Annually

 In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation, the Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician complete a preventative maintenance check of the 

 uninterruptable power service twice per year.

 An Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician shall record the results of the inspection on the Uninterruptable Power System Maintenance Log and provide a 

 copy to the Senior Environmental Specialist. The Senior Environmental Specialist will review the document and file it in the MGE Corporate Record Center. Should 

 the inspection reveal deficiencies, the Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician shall take the appropriate corrective action.

4.5 Annually

4.5.1 Fuel Flow Meter Accuracy Test

A fuel flow meter accuracy test demonstrates that a fuel flow meter can accurately measure the fuel flow rate over the normal operating range of the unit. In 

accordance with 40 CF 75, Appendix D, section 2.1.6, a fuel flow meter accuracy test must be performed at least once every four fuel flow meter QA operating 

quarters. A fuel flow meter QA operating quarter is defined as a unit operating quarter in which the unit combusts the fuel measured by the fuel flow meter for at 

least 168 unit operating hours. Notwithstanding these requirements, no more than 20 successive calendar quarters shall elapse after the quarter in which the fuel 

flow meter was last tested for accuracy without a subsequent flow meter accuracy test having been conducted. 

MGE ships the fuel flow meters to an independent laboratory to perform the accuracy test. The test re performed using the procedures of ASME MFC-7M-1987 in 

accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix D, section 2.1.5.1. The flow meter must meet an accuracy of 2.0 percent of the maximum fuel flow rate measurable by the 

flow meter across the range of the fuel flow rate. A copy of the accuracy test report is provided to the Senior Environmental Specialist.

The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for reviewing the report and confirming the appropriate calibration methods were used and that the results meet 

the acceptable criteria. The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for manually entering the results of the flow meter accuracy test into the DAHS and for 

filing a copy of the accuracy test report with the MGE Corporate Records Center.
ID 113004430, Permit No. 113004430-P20 – Final Permit 

70

4.5.2 Transmitter Accuracy Test

An Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician is responsible for calibrating the multivariable pressure transmitters manually in accordance with the procedures 

defined in 40 CFR 75, Appendix D, section 2.1.6.1. Using NIST traceable equipment, the accuracy of the differential pressure, static and temperature transmitters

are tested at least once at the zero-, mid- and high-levels, such that the full range of the transmitter readings corresponding to normal unit operation are represented

The fuel flow meter accuracy requirement of 2.0 percent is met if the results pf the test meet one of the following criteria:

1. Each transmitter meets an accuracy of + 1.0 percent of its full-scale range of each level tested.

2. If one or more of the transmitters does not meet an accuracy of + 1.0 percent of the full scale at a particular level, then the sum of the individual 

accuracies of all the transmitters is less than or equal to 4.0. 

An Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician shall record the results of the accuracy test on the Transmitter Accuracy Check Log and provide a copy to the 

Senior Environmental Specialist. The Senior Environmental Specialist will review the document and confirm that the results meet the acceptable criteria and file it 

in the MGE Corporate Records Center. Should the inspection reveal deficiencies, an Industrial Electrician and Instrument Technician shall take appropriate 

corrective action.

4.5.3 Fuel Sampling

In accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix D, MGE is required to collect a natural gas fuel sample annually for the purpose of determining the sulfur content of the 

fuel. The analysis must demonstrate that the total sulfur content of the natural gas is no greater than 20 grains per 100 standard cubic feet. The Senior

Environmental Specialist is responsible for the collection of the sample and the preparation of the sample for delivery to an independent laboratory for analysis. 

 The sample will be analyzed in accordance with one of the following methods: ASTM D1072-06, ASTM D4468-85, ASTM D5504-01, ASTM D3246-96, or an 

 alternate method approved in writing by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

 Upon receipt of the analysis, the Senior Environmental Specialist will enter the results of the analysis into the DAHS. The total sulfur content of the fuel is used to

 calculate the heat input and SO2 emissions from all operating hours beginning with the date and time that the sample was collected and ending when the next sample

 is obtained.

 4.5.4 Unit Qualifications

MGE must document that the units meet the definition of gas-fired peaking units for the continued use of the alternate monitoring methodologies of 40 CFR 75, 

Appendices D and F annually. The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for evaluating the operating data and determining the gas-fired and peaking unit 

status of the units. The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for submitting the supporting documentation to the EPA via the ECMPS Client Tool 

following each calendar year to demonstrate that units meet the definition of gas-fired, peaking units. 

If the capacity factor requirements, defined in section 2, have not been met, the peaking unit status has been lost. A NOx –diluent monitoring system will need to be 

installed and certified by December 31 of the calendar year following the year in which the peaking unit status is lost. 

4.6 Periodic Emissions Testing

40 CFR 75, Appendix E, requires periodic re-testing of each affected unit once every 5 years (20 calendar quarters) to determine a new correlation curve. 

Additionally, re-testing is also required if the excess O2 level at any heat input rate (or unit operating load) continuously exceeds by more than 2.0 percentage points 

the O2 from the boiler excess O2 level recorded at the same operating heat input rate during the previous NOx emission rate test for one or more successive operating 

periods totaling more than 16 unit operating hours.
ID 113004430, Permit No. 113004430-P20 – Final Permit 

71

The Senior Environmental Specialist is responsible for evaluating the excess O2 levels for each operating day and for scheduling the periodic re-testing of each 

affected unit. 

5. MISSING DATA SUBSTITUTION

Emissions must be reported for each unit operating hour. In the event of missing or invalid data, MGE is required to calculate and report substitute data. This section identifies to 

potential causes for missing or invalid data and describes the missing data substitution procedures for each monitoring methodology.

5.1 Appendix D Methodology

Appendix D requires missing data substitution for fuel sulfur content, gross caloric value or the fuel flow rate whenever:

1. A required periodic sample was not taken or when the results of the sample analysis are missing or invalid. MGE will substitute the maximum potential value for each 

 period of missing data in accordance with Table D-6 of Appendix D for sulfur and gross caloric value content. MGE will substitute 1.5 times the default sulfur dioxide 

 emission rate in use at the time of the missing data period, MGE will substitute a gross caloric value of 110,000 Btu/100 scf for each hour of the missing data period. 

2. When fuel flow rate data is missing from the primary fuel flow meter system. MGE will substitute the maximum potential fuel flow rate for each hour of missing fuel flow

 rate data. 

5.2 Appendix E Methodology

Missing data substitution is required for any unit operating hour in which:

1. The excess O2 date is missing or invalid, or if the excess O2 level is greater than 2.0 percent of the O2 level at the same heat input rate observed during the most recent NOx

 emissions test. MGE will substitute the highest NOx value determined from the previous NOx correlation curve test.

2. The measured heat input rate is higher than the highest heat input rate during the previous NOx versus heat input correlation curve test. MGE will report the maximum 

 potential NOx emission rate. 

 3. The correlation curve from the previous NOx emission test has expired. MGE will report the maximum potential NOx emission rate.

5.3 Appendix G Methodology

MGE will follow the Appendix D missing data procedures described above when fuel flow rate and/or GCV data are missing.

6. DATA REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING

6.1 Data Reporting

Emissions data must be reported electronically each quarter to the EPA CAMD by direct computer-to-computer transfer, using the ECMPS Client Tool provided by the EPA. 

The reports are due within 30 days following the end of each quarter. Revisions to the monitoring plan may be submitted at any time. QA test results may be submitted as 

soon as the results are available. Each submission will contain a certification statement from the Designated Representative, attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the 

data. The Senior Environmental Specialist acting as an agent for the Designated Representative, is responsible for submitting monitoring plan, quality assurance and 

certification test data, and emissions data to the EPA Host System using ECMPS Client Tool.

 

The Senior Environmental Specialist must submit emission test reports to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources no later than 60 days after the completion of the 

final test.

7.2 Current NOx Rate Test Results

In accordance with 40 CFR 75, Appendix E, MGE is required to include a copy of all data and results from the most recent NOx emission rate testing in the QAQC Plan. 

The baseline NOx versus heat input correlation curve was completed in December, 2014. A test to determine a new correlation curve isscheduled for December 2019. The 

results of that test will be included in the QAQC Plan at that time.

7.3 Quality Assurance- Quality Control Operating Parameter Ranges

40 CFR 75, Appendix E, requires continuous monitoring of the excess O2 in the boilers. A NOx versus heat input correlation curve shall be re-determined if the excess O2

level at any heat input rate (or unit operating load) continuously exceeds by more than 2 percentage points the O2 from the boiler excess O2 level recorded at the same 

operating heat input rate during the previous NOx emission rate test for one or more successive operating periods totaling more than 16 unit operating hours. A summary of 

the excess O2 measured in the boilers during the test is summarized in the following table.
