Project Description: 

The Department has prepared a draft Title V permit renewal which incorporates operational details of the NOx

RACT Plan/BART Determination and has made a tentative determination to approve the application for a Title 

IV Acid Rain permit for this facility. This facility consists of two multiple fuel-fired boilers rated at 5,546 

MMBtu and 5,374 MMBtu. This facility also has a 615 KW emergency generator, several storage tanks for 

fuels, lubricating oils, and chemicals. Other sources include a boiler water treatment plant and a wastewater 

treatment plant. The facility is a major source for Oxides of Nitrogen, Sulfur Dioxide and 

Particulates/PM10/PM2.5. 

By July 1, 2014 average emissions from Bowline Units 1 and 2 shall comply with an emission limit of 0.15 

pounds per million british thermal units (#/MMBtu) while such units are fired with natural gas, as measured on 

a 30 day rolling average period for the non-ozone season and a 24 hour calendar day average period for the 

ozone season, excluding start-up and shut-down periods. 

By July 1, 2014 average emissions from Bowline Units 1 and 2 shall comply with 0.25 #/MMBtu while such 

units are fired with oil, as measured on a 30 day rolling average period for the non- ozone season and a 24 hour 

calendar day average period for the ozone season, excluding start-up and shut-down periods. 

Beginning July 1, 2014 GenOn shall limit oil firing to no more than 3.1 million barrels during the ozone 

season (May 1 through September 30) and 4.6 million barrels during the non-ozone season (October 1 through 

April 30). 

The limit for oil and gas dual fuel firing periods will be heat input weighted between 0.15 #/MMBtu and 0.25 

#/MMBtu. GenOn shall install or optimize equipment for compliance with the above emission rates.
