PART 1.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 

1.3 Process Description of Modification 

Natural gas burners are to be installed on Unit 6 and Unit 7 to allow the units to operate at full load 

on 100% natural gas. In addition, a new natural gas-fired water bath heater will be installed at the 

existing pressure and flow conditioning station on-site, functionally replacing a smaller, existing 

natural gas heater currently located at an off-site regulating station. An existing on-site 75,000 gallon 

fuel oil tank that currently supplies fuel to the existing emergency generators and compressor as well 

as Units 6 and 7 will be decommissioned and replaced with a 5,000 gallon fuel oil tank that will 

supply the existing emergency generators and compressor only. All coal burners will be removed 

from Units 6 and 7 as part of the conversion to natural gas. Upon removal of the bumers, Units 6 and 

7 will burn natural gas exclusively. Contemporaneously, with these projects, Units 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 

(the coal-fired units) and two associated 38,000 gallon fuel oil tanks at Plant Yates will be retired.
