PURPOSE OF APPLICATION:

Sections 169A and 169B of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments require states to improve visibility at 

Class I areas. On July 1, 1999, EPA first published the Regional Haze Rule, which provided specific 

details regarding the overall program requirements to improve visibility. The goal of the regional haze 

program is to achieve natural conditions by 2064. 

Section 308 of the Regional Haze Rule (40 CFR part 51) includes discussion on control strategies for 

improving visibility impairment. One of these strategies is the requirement under 40 CFR 51.308(e) for 

certain stationary sources to install Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) to reduce emissions of 

three (3) visibility impairing pollutants, nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and sulfur 

dioxide (SO2). EPA published Appendix Y to part 51 - Guidelines for BART Determinations Under the 

Regional Haze Rule in the July 6, 2005 Federal Register to provide guidance to regulatory authorities for 

making BART determinations. Chapter 6, Section 9, Best Available Retrofit Technology was adopted 

into the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR) and became effective on December 

5, 2006. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division (Division) will 

determine BART for NOx and PM10 for each source subject to BART and include each determination in 

the §308 Wyoming Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP).

(a) Annual emissions based on an average coal sulfur content of 1.02%, a heat input rate of 1,850 MMBtu/hr, and 7,884 hours of 

operation per year. 

(b) Incremental cost from installing dry FGD with a polishing fabric filter cannot be calculated since the reduced tons of SO2

 are 

anticipated to be the same. Therefore, the incremental cost from installing dry FGD with the existing ESP was calculated.
