Section I. Facility Information.

Subsection A. Facility Description.

This facility consists of truck and railcar unloading operations, a ship loading operation, silo 

and building storage for phosphate rock, animal feed ingredient (AFI), fertilizer products 

(MAP, DAP, GTSP) and other bulk materials as defined in this permit’s material handling 

list/group description. In addition, the facility operates a marine vessel (stevedoring) loading 

and unloading operation of various bulk materials. 

The facility receives dry phosphate rock, AFI, and fertilizer products by truck or railcar to the 

facility, which is stored within enclosed storage silos or buildings until transported off site by 

ship or barge. The products can also be transferred directly to a shiphold from a truck or 

railcar. The majority of these material handling operations are enclosed and controlled 

through baghouses. The following is a more detailed process of this operation. 

During the railcar unloading operation (EU 002), the railcars are pulled into a partially 

enclosed structure and bottom unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into six 

hoppers. Emissions from the hoppers are vented to dry cyclones. Typically four of the six 

hoppers are used during unloading operations. Material can then transferred from the 

unloading hoppers to conveyor C17 for subsequent storage in silos via conveyors C19 and 

C38 (EU 012), or transferred for ship loading via conveyors C18, C12, C13 and C14. The 

material that will be stored in the silos can be conveyed to the outer silo Nos. 1 – 16 using a 

series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C27, C44, and C28, or to the inner silo Nos. 17 

-23 using a series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C19, C38, and C29. All silos are 

unloaded using Conveyor Belt No. 30 prior to ship loading. 

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading operation are controlled by 

six parallel dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM Amerex Type C Venturi scrubber 

and/or by the application of dust suppressant oil applied to the fertilizer product at the 

chemical processing facility prior to shipping. Particulate matter emissions generated from the 

silo loading are controlled by a 23,100 DSCFM Ducon Venturi Oriclone, VVO, 36/84 scrubber 

located at ground level directly north of the storage silos. 

The facility operation of the various conveyor transfer points include the following; C12 

Transfer Point A (EU 005), C30 Transfer Point C (EU 006), C18 Transfer Point D (EU 007), 

C19 Transfer Point G (EU 009) and C17 Transfer Point E (EU 004). Particulate matter 

emissions generated during these transfer processes are controlled by Mikro-Pulsaire 

baghouses, except for C17 Transfer Point E, which is controlled by a 6000 ACFM Poly-Con, 

Model Venturi 1506MS, scrubber. 

The material handling and storage operation (EU 008) consists of a truck unloading 

station, three storage silos, and a transfer conveyor system. Material is conveyed from 

the truck unloading station to three storage silos using Conveyor Belt No. C92. When the 

material is ready for shiploading, it is unloaded from the silos and conveyed to Conveyor 

Belt No. C12 using Conveyor Belt No. C93, and then conveyed to Conveyor Belt Nos. 

C13, and C14 prior to loading on the ship. Particulate matter emissions generated during 

the loading of any silo are controlled by a common Mikro-Pulsaire baghouse. Particulate

matter emissions from the conveyor transfer point (C93 to C12) and the truck unloading 

station are controlled through the use of partial enclosures. 

Trucks can unload material at the truck unloading Station No. 1. Trucks are driven into a 

partially enclosed structure and unload material through grates in the floor of the structure. The 

materials are dropped onto Conveyor Belt No. C82, which transfers the material from the truck 

unloading Station No. 1 to Conveyor Belt No. C83 (EU 102). This transfer point is entirely 

enclosed. Conveyor Belt No. C83 transfers the material to Conveyor Belt No. C84, which is 

located inside Storage Building No. 3 (EU 103). Inside the building there is a movable tipper 

which allows the storage piles to be placed at different locations within the building. Materials 

are moved within the building with a front end loader, which is also used to transfer the material 

out of the building to a hopper located on the side of the storage building. The hopper feeds 

Conveyor Belt No. C104, which transfers material to Conveyor Belt No. C12, using the C12 

Transfer Point A associated with EU 005. Storage Building No. 3 is solely associated with 

Truck Unloading Station No.1. Particulate matter emissions are controlled through the use of 

dust suppressants (oiling) and enclosures. 

Trucks can also unload material at Station No. 2 (EU 100), where they are driven into a partially 

enclosed structure and unload through grates in the floor of the structure. The material is 

conveyed into three storage silos using a series of conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C2, C4, 

C7, and C94, and a bucket elevator, No. C3. Conveyor Belt No. C4 can transfer the material to 

either Conveyor Belt No. C7 or C11. Conveyor Belt No. C7 transfers material to Conveyor 

Belt No. C94 which loads the three storage silos associated with EU 008. Conveyor Belt No. 

C11 transfers material to Transfer Point D (EU 007). Conveyor Belt Nos. C4 and C7 are 

completely enclosed in Storage Building Nos. 1 and 2. Material is also stored in the Blackpoint 

Storage Building, located on a Kinder Morgan land parcel west of the Tampaplex facility, 

across the TECO discharge slip. The Blackpoint Storage Building is used to store bagged 

product only. 

The ship loading operation (EU 013) involves the loading of phosphate rock, fertilizer 

products, AFI and/or other bulk material, which can be conveyed either directly from the 

railcar, truck, storage buildings, or from the storage silos to the shiphold using a series of 

conveyor belts, Conveyor Belt Nos. C12, C13, and C14. A telescopic chute and an OBA 

chokefeeder are used to load the shiphold. Particulate matter emissions generated during the 

shiphold loading operation are controlled by a modified 9,000 DSCFM Mikro-Pulsaire, 

Model 1F2, baghouse and/or a gantry mounted dust suppression system. The dust 

suppression system consists of four spray headers located throughout the gantry using a 

surfactant chemical that is mixed with water. 

Kinder Morgan is also authorized to operate a marine vessel (stevedoring) bulk material 

loading and unloading operation at the Kinder Morgan’s Tampaplex location and at numerous 

berths in Hillsborough County. The stevedoring operation involves the loading and unloading 

of various bulk materials that include fertilizer materials, coal, limestone, granite, bauxite, 

etc., onto and from marine vessels. These materials are divided into different group 

categories.

Tampaplex Terminal Project: Bulk Material Handling 

Page 4 of 38

At the Tampaplex Terminal, material is unloaded from a ship by one of two clamshells. The 

clamshell transfers the material to one of two onshore receiving hoppers. Both hoppers, RH01 and RH-02 (EU 104) are equipped with windshields and water sprays. From the hoppers, 

material is gravity transferred to a belt conveyor, BC-01 (EU 105), and then to a Radial 

Switch Stacker, RS-01 (EU 106). From RS-01, material can be transferred in two directions. 

From RS-01, material is gravity fed to a belt conveyor, PC-01 (EU 107), then to a second 

conveyor belt PC-02 (EU 108), and then to a second Radial Switch Stacker, RS-02 (EU 109). 

From RS-02, material is loaded directly into a truck or stockpiled on the ground (EU 110). A 

front-end loader loads the material into a truck (EU 111) for shipment offsite or for 

transporting the material to the storage areas. 

If material is directed to the dual wing stacker, material from Radial Switch Stacker, RS-01, 

is gravity transferred to a belt conveyor, BC-02 (EU 107), then to a chute, and then to an 

uncovered belt conveyor, BC-03 (EU 108). Material is transferred from BC-03 to a dual 

wing stacker (EU 109) where it is stockpiled (EU 110) in one of two storage areas, the north 

and south storage areas. From the storage areas, a front-end loader loads the material into a 

truck (EU 111) for shipment offsite. 

All conveyor belts and radial stackers have partial enclosures except for Conveyors BC-01 

and BC-03. Conveyor BC-01 has side skirts only because the receiving hoppers can travel 

along the length of the conveyor belt and partial enclosure would hinder the movement of the 

receiving hoppers. Conveyor BC-03 has side skirts at the chute transfer point because it is 

equipped with a moveable dual-wing stacker that travels along the length of the conveyor, 

which prevents the installation of covers or side skirts along that length. All of the conveyors 

and radial stackers are equipped with a water spray system. Certain materials (i.e., bauxite, 

magnetite, etc.), due to their physical nature, cannot be unloaded using the conveyor system. 

To unload these and any other materials in a manner outlined below for offsite operations, the 

clamshell transfers material from the ship directly into a truck or into a receiving hopper and 

into a truck for shipment offsite or for storage. Bauxite is required to be coated with a dust 

suppressant at the first transfer point at the Tampaplex Site. 

In addition the Kinder Morgan Tampaplex site can receive products onto the site from Belted 

Self Unloading Vessels. During this operation the vessel will be equipped with an 

extendable conveyor belt that would transfer product directly onto a storage pile. A front-end 

loader loads the material into a truck for shipment offsite. 

Particulate matter (PM) emissions from these facility operations are controlled by the use of a 

water spray system and partial enclosures, and or dust suppressants. The facility operates a truck 

wheel wash to wash particulate material from truck tires prior to the trucks leaving the site. 

When operating at berths other than the Kinder Morgan’s Tampaplex site, the Stevedoring 

operation operates as follows: 

A maximum of three, portable clamshells used to either load or unload material from a ship are 

mounted to barges and moved to any of the Berths listed below. The clamshells may operate at 

a maximum of three berths simultaneously.

Tampaplex Terminal Project: Bulk Material Handling 

Page 5 of 38

When material is unloaded from ships, material is transferred from the shiphold using one of the 

three clamshells to a portable receiving hopper, then to a truck, and then transported either 

offsite or to a storage pile. The receiving hoppers are equipped with windshields and a water 

spray system around the perimeter. 

When material will be loaded into ships, trucks transport the material to the dock and the 

portable clamshells transfer the material from the dock into a shiphold. However, the material 

should not stockpiled on the dock longer than 24 hours. 

The Stevedoring operation is permitted to operate at the following berths in Hillsborough 

County: 

1, 2, 3, 23, 24, 24B, North Star Recycling Slip 30, 31, 201, 202, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 210,

Subsection A. This section addresses the following emissions unit(s). 

E.U. 

ID No. Brief Description

-002 Railcar Unloading 

-004 C17 Transfer Point E (C17 to C18 or C17 to C19) 

EU No. 002: During the railcars unloading operation, railcars are pulled into a partially 

enclosed structure and bottom unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into 

six hoppers. Emissions from the hoppers are vented to dry cyclones. Butterfly valves in 

the riser pipe routed to each dry cyclone are used to isolate or shut off airflow to hoppers 

not being used. Typically four of the six hoppers are used during unloading operations. 

Material can be transferred from the unloading hoppers to conveyor C17 for subsequent 

storage in silos via conveyors C19 and C38, or transferred for ship loading via conveyors 

C18, C12, C13 and C14. 

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading operation are controlled 

by six parallel dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM Amerex Type C Venturi 

scrubber and/or by the application of a dust suppressant oil applied to the product at the 

chemical processing facility prior to shipping. 

EU No. 004: The C17 transfer point E directs material from Conveyor Belt No. C17 

either to Conveyor Belt No. C18 or to Conveyor Belt No. C19. Particulate matter 

emissions generated during the transfer process are controlled by a 6000 ACFM PolyCon, Model Venturi 1506MS, scrubber.

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 561 of 703
This section of the permit addresses the following emissions units.

Emissions Units 020 – 026: Bayside Units 1 and 2 

Description: Each emissions unit consists of a General Electric Model PG7241(FA) gas turbine-electrical 

generator set, an automated gas turbine control system, an inlet air filtration system, an evaporative inlet air 

cooling system, an unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a single exhaust stack that is 150 feet tall 

and 19.0 feet in diameter, and associated support equipment. The project also includes electric fuel heaters 

and cooling towers. Natural gas is the exclusive fuel.

Heat Input: At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F and firing 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of 

natural gas, each unit produces a nominal 169 MW of shaft-driven electricity. Exhaust gases exit the stack 

with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,030,000 acfm at 220° F. 

Generating Capacity: The following table summarizes the electrical generating capacity for each 

combination of combined cycle gas turbines and steam-electrical turbines.

Note: GT means gas turbine. The nameplate generating capacity is shown for the steamelectrical turbines (ST). The final design may not fully utilize the nameplate generating capacity.

Controls: The efficient combustion of natural gas at high temperatures minimizes the emissions of CO, 

PM/PM10, and VOC. Firing natural gas as the only authorized fuel minimizes emissions of SAM and SO2

because natural gas contains only small amounts of sulfur. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system 

combined with dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion technology reduces NOx emissions. 

Continuous Monitors: Each gas turbine is equipped with continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record CO and NOx emissions as well as flue gas carbon dioxide content.

Evaporative Inlet Air-Cooling System

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTIONS

: Each gas turbine system includes an evaporative cooling system 

designed to reduce the temperature of the inlet air to the gas turbine compressor. The reduced temperature 

provides a greater mass flow rate and increases power production with additional fuel combustion. 

{Permitting Note: The installed equipment includes a water distribution system with packed media blocks 

of corrugated layers of fibrous material. Air passing over the system wicks moisture away from the media

to create the cooling effect.} [Applicant Request; Design]

10. Permitted Capacity: The maximum heat input rate to each gas turbine shall not exceed 1842 MMBtu per 

hour while producing approximately 169 MW (shaft). The maximum heat input rate is based on a 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 563 of 703
compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the higher heating value (HHV) of natural gas and expected 

performance levels. Heat input rates will vary depending upon gas turbine characteristics, ambient 

conditions, and evaporative cooling. The permittee shall provide the manufacturer’s performance curves 

(or equations) that correct for site conditions to the Permitting and Compliance Authorities within 45 days 

of completing the initial compliance testing. Operating data may be adjusted for the appropriate site 

conditions in accordance with the performance curves and/or equations on file with the Department. 

[Design; Rule 62-210.200(PTE), F.A.C.]

: The following standards apply to each combined cycle 

gas turbine as determined by emissions performance tests conducted at permitted capacity. The mass 

emission limits are based on a compressor inlet temperature of 59° F. The permittee shall provide the 

manufacturer’s performance curves (or equations) that correct for site conditions to the Permitting and 

Compliance Authorities within 45 days of completing the initial compliance testing. Operating data shall 

be adjusted for the appropriate site conditions in accordance with the performance curves and/or equations 

on file with the Department.

22 in this subsection, each SCR system shall 

be designed and operated for an ammonia slip target of less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen 

based on the average of three test runs. [Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.]

Exhibit 2

Page 564 of 703
and visible emissions standards shall serve as continuous indicators of efficient combustion to minimize 

particulate matter emissions. No performance tests are required. [Rule 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

e. Sulfuric Acid Mist (SAM) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): The exclusive firing of pipeline-quality natural 

gas effectively limits potential emissions of SO2 and SAM. No performance tests are required. 

[Design; DEP/TEC Consent Final Judgment; EPA/TEC Consent Decree; 40 CFR 60.333] 

f. Visible Emissions: Visible emissions shall not exceed 10% opacity, based on a 6-minute average as 

determined by EPA Method 9. Except as allowed by Condition 17 of this subsection, this standard 

applies to all loads. [Rule 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

g. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC): The exclusive firing of pipeline-quality natural gas combined 

with the efficient combustion design and operation of each gas turbine represent the Best Available 

Control Technology (BACT) requirements for VOC emissions. Compliance with carbon monoxide 

standards shall serve as a continuous indicator of efficient combustion to minimize VOC emissions. No 

performance tests are required. [Design; Rule 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

15. Emissions Standards Based on CEMS Data

Each 24-hour block average shall start at midnight each operating day and shall be calculated from 24 

consecutive 1-hour averages. If a unit operates less than 24 hours during the block, the 24-hour block 

average shall be the average of the available valid 1-hour averages. [Rules 62-212.400(BACT) and 62-

4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, MALFUNCTION, AND LOW LOAD OPERATION

16. Excess Emissions Prohibited

17.

: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction, shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in the 

compliance averages determined from the CO and NOx CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

Alternate Standards and CEMS Data Exclusion

a. Opacity During Startup and Shutdown: During startup and shutdown, the opacity of the exhaust 

gases shall not exceed 10%, except for up to ten 6-minute averaging periods in a calendar day during 

which the opacity shall not exceed 20%. Data for each 6-minute averaging period shall be exclusive 

from other 6-minute averaging periods. 

: The following permit conditions establish alternate 

standards or allow the exclusion of monitoring data for specifically defined periods of startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction. These conditions apply only if operators employ the best operational practices to 

minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such incidents. 

b. Low Load Operation: Excluding startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade 

drying, and over speed trip tests, each gas turbine may operate below 50% base load providing: the gas 

turbine is firing natural gas and operating in full dry low-NOx combustion mode; the CO and NOx 

CEMS are functioning properly during such periods and recording valid emissions data within the span 

range of the monitors; and the gas turbine remains in compliance with the CO and NOx emissions 

standards (24-hour block averages). 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 565 of 703
c. CEMS Data Exclusion: For the following specified operational periods, CO and NOx emissions data 

may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in accordance with the corresponding 

requirements.

(1) Definitions: Rule 62-210.200(231), F.A.C. defines “shutdown” as the cessation of the operation of 

an emissions unit for any purpose. Rule 62-210.200(160), F.A.C. defines “malfunction” as any 

unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment or process 

equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner. Rule 62-

210.200(246), F.A.C. defines “startup” as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit 

which has shut down or ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, 

pressure, chemical or pollution control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

(2) Standard Startups, Shutdowns, and Malfunctions: For each gas turbine, no more than four 1-hour 

CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour block compliance average due to 

standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

(3) Cold Steam Turbine Startup: “Cold steam turbine startup” means a startup after the steam turbine 

has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or less. 

To minimize emissions, no more than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a 

cold steam turbine startup. No more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be 

excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a cold steam turbine startup. In 

addition, no more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour 

block compliance average due to cold steam turbine startup. In the event of a cold steam turbine 

startup and standard startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a 

total of sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those 

sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions (total). This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for the cold steam 

turbine startup. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 hours after 

beginning a cold steam turbine startup. Notification may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter. 

(4) Steam Turbine Startup Following an Unplanned Forced Outage: “Steam turbine startup following 

unplanned, forced outage” means startup when the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or 

more and occurs within 24 hours after either (1) the steam turbine inadvertently trips offline, or (2) 

the plant is forced to take the steam turbine offline for repair. To minimize emissions, no more 

than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. No more than eight 1-hour CEMS emissions averages shall be excluded 

from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a steam turbine startup following an unplanned 

forced outage. In addition, no more than eight 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded 

from any 24-hour block compliance average due to steam turbine startups following an unplanned 

forced outage. In the event of a startup following an unplanned forced outage and standard 

startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a total of eight 1-hour 

CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those eight 1-hour CEMS 

emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 

hours after beginning a steam turbine startup following an unplanned forced outage. Notification 

may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter and shall include the reason for the unplanned forced 

outage. 

(5) DLN Tuning: “DLN Tuning” means operating the gas turbine at intermittent loads throughout the 

full load range in order to adjust and tune the dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion system. DLN 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 566 of 703
tuning shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’ recommendations. Emissions data 

collected during DLN tuning may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: For example, a major tuning session would occur after combustor change-out.}

(6) Compressor Blade Drying: Following a compressor blade wash in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s recommendations, the permittee may operate a gas turbine at very low loads to heat 

and dry the compressor blades. Emissions data collected while drying the compressor blades may 

be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. {Permitting Note: A gas turbine would 

typically operate at approximately 10% of base load or less to perform compressor blade drying.}

(7) Over Speed Trip Test: As a periodic maintenance practice, the permittee may perform over speed 

trip tests in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Emissions data collected while 

conducting over speed trip tests may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: During this test, the gas turbine is operated at full speed, no load (FSNL) for 

approximately 5 to 6 hours. The unit is gradually accelerated to 110% speed (3960 rpm) to initiate 

a trip and then coasts down normally. Over speed trip tests are typically performed after a long 

outage or a major component overhaul.}

To the extent practicable, the permittee shall minimize the amount and duration of emissions during 

periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade drying, and over speed trip 

testing. If a CEMS reports emissions in excess of an emissions standard (24-hour block), the permittee 

shall notify the Compliance Authority within one working day with a preliminary report of: the nature, 

extent, and duration of the excess emissions; the cause of the excess emissions; and the actions taken to 

correct the problem. In addition, the Compliance Authority may request a written summary report of 

the incident. All emissions data allowed for exclusion shall be summarized in the Semiannual CEMS 

Report required in Condition 25 of this subsection. 

d. Startup and Shutdown Plan: The permittee shall maintain on site a “Startup and Shutdown Plan” that 

describes procedures for startup and shutdown of the Bayside Units. 

As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above requirements are established in lieu 

of the provisions of Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. 

{Permitting Note: The durations for a cold steam turbine startup and a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage are not typical for combined cycle units. The Bayside Units utilize the existing 

Gannon steam turbines. Operating procedures require one gas turbine to operate at low loads for 

extended periods to gradually warm the main and hot reheat steam lines to the steam turbine as well as the 

steam turbine. Some steam lines are in excess of 1700 feet. Such startups are expected to occur 

infrequently.} [Design; Rules 62-4.130, 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400 (BACT), F.A.C.; Permit No. PSDFL-301B] 

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE TESTING

18. Operating Rate During Testing: Emissions performance testing shall be conducted with the emissions unit 

operating at permitted capacity. Permitted capacity is defined as 90 to 100 percent of the maximum 

operation rate allowed by the permit. If it is impractical to test at permitted capacity, an emissions unit may 

be tested at less than the maximum permitted capacity; in this case, subsequent emissions unit operation is 

limited to 110 percent of the test rate until a new test is conducted. Once the unit is so limited, operation at 

higher capacities is allowed for no more than 15 consecutive days for the purpose of additional compliance 

testing to regain the authority to operate at the permitted capacity. [Rule 62-297.310(2), F.A.C.]

test method. The minimum detection limit shall be 1 ppm.

5 Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources: The minimum sampling time 

shall be two hours per run and the minimum sampling volume shall be 60 dscf per run.

7E Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Stationary Sources

9 Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources

10 Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Stationary Sources: The method shall use a 

continuous sampling train. 

18

Measurement of Gaseous Organic Compound Emissions by Gas Chromatography: EPA Method 18 

may be used concurrently with EPA Method 25A to deduct emissions of methane and ethane from the 

measured VOC emissions.

20 Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Dioxide and Diluent Emissions from Stationary Gas Turbines

25A Determination of Volatile Organic Concentrations

Except for Method CTM-027, the above methods are described in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, and adopted by 

reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C. Method CTM-027 is published on EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web Site at “http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ctm.html”. Although no specific tests are required for 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, the test methods are included for 

completeness. No other methods may be used for compliance testing unless prior written approval is 

received from the Department. [Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

20. Initial Compliance Tests

21.

: Each gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission 

standards for CO, NOx, visible emissions and ammonia slip. The tests shall be conducted within 60 days 

after achieving at least 90% of the maximum permitted capacity, but not later than 180 days after initial 

operation of each gas turbine. Tests for CO and NOx shall be conducted concurrently. Certified CEMS 

data may be used to demonstrate compliance with the initial CO and NOx standards. The test results for 

ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. 

[Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.335] 

Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th

22.

), each gas turbine 

shall be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for ammonia slip and visible 

emissions. The test results for ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the 

CEMS during each test run. {Permitting Note: Continuous compliance with the CO and NOx standards 

will be demonstrated with certified CEMS data.} [Rules 62-212.400(BACT) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, 

F.A.C.] 

Additional Ammonia Slip Testing

a. Begin testing and reporting the ammonia slip for each subsequent calendar quarter; 

: If the tested ammonia slip rate for a gas turbine exceeds 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen when firing natural gas during the annual test, the permittee shall:

b. Before the ammonia slip exceeds 7 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen, take corrective actions that 

result in lowering the ammonia slip to less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen; and 

c. Test and demonstrate that the ammonia slip is less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen within 15 

days after completing the corrective actions.

Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, adding catalyst, replacing catalyst, or other SCR 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 568 of 703
system maintenance or repair. After demonstrating that the ammonia slip level is less than 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen, testing and reporting shall resume on an annual basis. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems

a. Emission Averages. Compliance with the 24-hour standards for CO and NOx emissions shall be based 

on data collected by the required CEMS. The 24-hour block shall start at midnight of each operating 

day and consist of 24 consecutive 1-hour blocks. If a unit operates continuously throughout the day, the 

24-hour block average shall be the average of 24 consecutive 1-hour emission averages. If a unit 

operates less than 24 hours during the day, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of available 

valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. If monitoring data is authorized for 

exclusion (due to startup, shutdown, malfunction, or tuning), the 24-hour block average shall be the 

average of the remaining available valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. Upon a 

request from the Compliance Authority, the NOx emission rate shall be corrected to ISO conditions to 

demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards of 40 CFR 60.332. 

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a 

continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) in the exhaust stack of each emissions unit to measure and 

record emissions of CO and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS 

emission standards of this permit. The carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall also be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. 

The oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated by the CEMS using the CO2 content of the flue gas 

and an F-factor that is appropriate for natural gas.

b. Data Collection. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and record CO, CO2, 

and NOx data evenly spaced over the hour. Each 1-hour emission average shall be computed using at 

least one data point in each fifteen minute quadrant of the 1-hour block during which the unit 

combusted fuel. Notwithstanding this requirement, each 1-hour emission average shall be computed 

from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes. If the unit does not operate in 

more than one quadrant of a 1-hour block, the data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour emission 

average and shall be ignored. (Example: Unit begins startup with only ten minutes remaining in the 1-

hour block. Data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour average and is ignored.) All valid measurements 

or data points collected during a 1-hour block shall be used to calculate the 1-hour emission averages. 

If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the CEMS shall include provisions to determine 

the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results 

to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, a curve of the flue gas moisture content versus load may be 

developed through manual stack test measurements and used in an algorithm to enable correction of the 

monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). The CO and NOx CEMS shall express the 1-hour 

emission averages and the 24-hour block averages in terms of “ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen”. 

c. Data Exclusion. CO, CO2, and NOx emissions data shall be recorded by the CEMS at all times 

including episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, and tuning. CO and NOx emissions data 

recorded during such episodes may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in 

accordance with the requirements of Condition 17 of this subsection. All periods of data excluded due 

to startup, shutdown or malfunction shall be consecutive for each episode. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for startup, shutdown and malfunctions, to the extent 

practicable. Data recorded during startup, shutdown or malfunction shall not be excluded if the episode 

was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 569 of 703
hourly emissions that occur during startup, shutdown and malfunction. Emissions of any quantity or 

duration that occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. Excluded emissions shall be 

summarized in the required semiannual report. 

d. NOx Certification. The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR Part 75 and shall be 

operated and maintained in accordance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts B 

and C. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this permit, 

missing data shall not be substituted. Instead the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the 

remaining hourly data in the 24-hour block. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts F and G. The RATA tests required for the NOx monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 7E or 20 as defined in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. The span for the NOx 

monitor shall not be greater than 10 ppmvd corrected to 15% O2. A dual span monitor may be used. 

e. CO and CO2 Certification. The CO2 monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 3. The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 4. Quality assurance procedures for each monitor shall conform to the 

requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment Report of Section 7 shall be made 

each calendar quarter, and reported semi-annually to the Compliance Authority. The RATA tests 

required for the CO2 monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 3A, of Appendix A in 40 CFR 60. 

The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10, of Appendix A 

in 40 CFR 60. The Method 10 analysis shall use a continuous sampling train. The span for the CO 

monitor shall not be greater than 25 ppm corrected to 15% oxygen. A dual span CO monitor may be 

used. 

f. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability shall not be less than 95% in any calendar quarter. The 

report required in Condition 23e above shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 

95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be 

taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within 

the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the 

minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit.

{Permitting Note: Compliance with these requirements will ensure compliance with the other applicable 

CEMS requirements such as: NSPS Subpart GG; Rule 62-297.520, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.7(a)(5) and 40 CFR 

60.13; 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P – Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirements; 40 CFR 60, Appendix 

B - Performance Specifications; and 40 CFR 60, Appendix F - Quality Assurance Procedures.}

[Rules 62-4.070(3), 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

24. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate, in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the 

ammonia injection rate through each SCR system. The permittee shall document the general range of 

ammonia flow rates required to meet emissions limitations over the range of gas turbine load conditions 

allowed in this permit by comparing NOx emissions recorded by the NOx monitor with ammonia flow rates 

recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOx monitor downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee 

shall operate at the ammonia flow rate that is consistent with the documented flow rate for the gas turbine 

load. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.]

This section of the permit addresses the following emissions units.

Emissions Units 027 – 030: Bayside Units 3 and 4

Description: Each emissions unit consists of a General Electric Model PG7241(FA) gas turbine-electrical 

generator set, an automated gas turbine control system, an inlet air filtration system, an evaporative inlet air 

cooling system, an unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a combined cycle exhaust stack (150 feet 

tall and 19.0 feet in diameter), a simple cycle exhaust stack for Units 3A and 3B (114 feet tall and 18.8 feet in 

diameter), and associated support equipment. Each unit fires natural gas and Units 3A and 3B may fire 

distillate oil as a restricted alternate fuel (simple cycle) or as an emergency backup fuel (combined cycle). 

Permitted Capacity: At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the maximum heat input rate to each gas 

turbine is 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of natural gas. At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the 

maximum heat input rate to each Unit 3A or 3B gas turbine is 2015 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of distillate oil. 

Stack Conditions: When Units 3 and 4 are operating as combined cycle units at full load, exhaust gases exit 

the stack with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,030,000 acfm at 220° F for gas firing and 1,160,000 

acfm at 275° F for oil firing (Unit 3 only). When Units 3A or 3 B are operating as simple cycle units at full 

load, exhaust gases exit the stack with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 2,394,000 acfm at 1120° F for 

gas firing and 2,469,000 acfm at 1100° F for oil firing. 

Generating Capacity: The following table summarizes the electrical generating capacity for each 

combination of combined cycle gas turbines and steam-electrical turbines.

EU No. Bayside GT Unit GT MW, Shaft Existing Gannon ST MW, ST Total 

027 3A 169 MW 

No. 3 163 501

Totals 4 GTs 676 MW 2 STs 333 1009 

Note: GT means gas turbine. The nameplate generating capacity is shown for the steamelectrical turbines (ST). The final design may not fully utilize the nameplate generating capacity.

Controls: The efficient combustion of clean fuels minimizes the emissions of CO, PM/PM10, and VOC. The 

firing of very low sulfur fuels minimizes potential emissions of SAM and SO2. Dry low-NOx (DLN) 

combustion technology when firing natural gas and water injection when firing distillate oil inhibit NOx 

emissions. When operating in the combined cycle mode, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system further 

reduces NOx emissions.

Continuous Monitors: Each gas turbine is equipped with continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record CO and NOx emissions as well as flue gas carbon dioxide content.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

1. BACT Determinations

2.

: The emissions units addressed in this section are subject to Best Available Control

gas turbine is 1842 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of natural gas. At a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, 

the maximum heat input rate to each Unit 3A and 3B gas turbine is 2015 MMBtu (HHV) per hour of 

distillate oil. The maximum heat input rates are based on a compressor inlet air temperature of 59° F, the 

higher heating value (HHV) of each fuel and the expected performance levels. Heat input rates will vary 

depending upon gas turbine characteristics, ambient conditions, and evaporative cooling. The permittee 

shall provide the manufacturer’s performance curves (or equations) that correct for site conditions to the 

Permitting and Compliance Authorities within 45 days of completing the initial compliance testing. 

Operating data may be adjusted for the appropriate site conditions in accordance with the performance 

curves and/or equations on file with the Department. [Design; Rule 62-210.200(PTE), F.A.C.] 

Allowable Fuels

a. Natural Gas: Each gas turbine shall fire pipeline natural gas with a fuel sulfur content of no more than 

2 grains per 100 SCF of natural gas based on a 12-month rolling average. Compliance shall be 

demonstrated each month by compiling the daily fuel sulfur analyses provided by the pipeline vendor. 

Methods for determining the sulfur content of the natural gas shall be ASTM methods D4084-82, 

D3246-81 or equivalent methods. [Design; Rules 62-210.200(PTE) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.;

Operating Procedures

EMISSIONS STANDARDS

: The Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determinations for CO, PM/PM10, 

and VOC emissions established by this permit rely on “good operating practices” to minimize emissions. 

Therefore, all operators and supervisors shall be properly trained to operate and maintain the gas turbines 

and pollution control systems in accordance with the guidelines and procedures established by the 

manufacturer. The training shall include good operating practices as well as methods to minimize 

emissions during startup and shutdown. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

{Permitting Note: A summary table of the emissions standards is provided in Appendix B of this permit.}

c. Operating data shall be adjusted for the appropriate site conditions in accordance with the performance 

curves and/or equations on file with the Department. 

d. The CO and NOx standards represent the initial standards for “new and clean” units. Subsequent 

compliance shall be demonstrated with data collected by the certified CEMS.

e. The efficient combustion of clean fuels represents the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) 

requirements for emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Compliance with 

carbon monoxide and visible emissions standards shall serve as continuous indicators of efficient 

combustion to minimize emissions of these pollutants. Compliance with the fuel sulfur specifications 

of this permit minimizes potential emissions of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide. No performance 

tests are required for these pollutants.

f. Only the CEMS-based CO and NOx emissions standards apply to Units 3A and 3B when firing 

distillate oil and operating in combined cycle mode because these units can only fire distillate oil as an 

“emergency backup fuel” when operating in this mode.

Each 24-hour block average shall start at midnight each operating day and shall be calculated from 24 

consecutive 1-hour averages. If a unit operates less than 24 hours during the block, the 24-hour block 

average shall be the average of the available valid 1-hour averages. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, MALFUNCTION, AND LOW LOAD OPERATION

16. Excess Emissions Prohibited

17.

: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction, shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in the 

compliance averages determined from the CO and NOx CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

Alternate Standards and CEMS Data Exclusion

a. Opacity During Startup and Shutdown: During startup and shutdown, the opacity of the exhaust 

gases shall not exceed 10%, except for up to ten 6-minute averaging periods in a calendar day during 

which the opacity shall not exceed 20%. Data for each 6-minute averaging period shall be exclusive 

from other 6-minute averaging periods. 

: The following permit conditions establish alternate 

standards or allow the exclusion of monitoring data for specifically defined periods of startup, shutdown,

and malfunction. These conditions apply only if operators employ the best operational practices to 

minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such incidents. 

b. Low Load Operation: Excluding startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade 

drying, and over speed trip tests, each gas turbine may operate below 50% base load providing: the gas 

turbine is firing natural gas and operating in full dry low-NOx combustion mode; the CO and NOx 

CEMS are functioning properly during such periods and recording valid emissions data within the span 

range of the monitors; and the gas turbine remains in compliance with the CO and NOx emissions 

standards (24-hour block averages). 

c. CEMS Data Exclusion: For the following specified operational periods, CO and NOx emissions data 

may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in accordance with the corresponding 

requirements.

(1) Definitions: Rule 62-210.200(231), F.A.C. defines “shutdown” as the cessation of the operation of 

an emissions unit for any purpose. Rule 62-210.200(160), F.A.C. defines “malfunction” as any 

unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment or process 

equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner. Rule 62-

210.200(246), F.A.C. defines “startup” as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit 

which has shut down or ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, 

pressure, chemical or pollution control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

(2) Standard Startups, Shutdowns, and Malfunctions: For each gas turbine, no more than four 1-hour 

CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour block compliance average due to 

standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

(3) Cold Steam Turbine Startup: “Cold steam turbine startup” means a startup after the steam turbine 

has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or less. 

To minimize emissions, no more than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a 

cold steam turbine startup. No more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be 

excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a cold steam turbine startup. In 

addition, no more than sixteen 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded from any 24-hour 

block compliance average due to cold steam turbine startup. In the event of a cold steam turbine 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 578 of 703
startup and standard startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a 

total of sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those 

sixteen 1-hour CEMS emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions (total). This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for the cold steam 

turbine startup. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 hours after 

beginning a cold steam turbine startup. Notification may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter. 

(4) Steam Turbine Startup Following an Unplanned Forced Outage: “Steam turbine startup following 

unplanned, forced outage” means startup when the first stage turbine metal temperature is 250° F or 

more and occurs within 24 hours after either (1) the steam turbine inadvertently trips offline, or (2) 

the plant is forced to take the steam turbine offline for repair. To minimize emissions, no more 

than one gas turbine per Bayside Unit shall be operated during a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. No more than eight 1-hour CEMS emissions averages shall be excluded 

from the 24-hour block compliance averages due to a steam turbine startup following an unplanned 

forced outage. In addition, no more than eight 1-hour CEMS emission averages shall be excluded 

from any 24-hour block compliance average due to steam turbine startups following an unplanned 

forced outage. In the event of a startup following an unplanned forced outage and standard 

startups, shutdowns and/or malfunctions within the same 24 hour period, a total of eight 1-hour 

CEMS emissions averages may be excluded with no more than four of those eight 1-hour CEMS 

emissions averages being excluded due to standard startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions (total). 

This condition applies only to the gas turbine being used for steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage. The permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority no later than 24 

hours after beginning a steam turbine startup following an unplanned forced outage. Notification 

may be by phone, facsimile, email, or letter and shall include the reason for the unplanned forced 

outage. 

(5) DLN Tuning: “DLN Tuning” means operating the gas turbine at intermittent loads throughout the 

full load range in order to adjust and tune the dry low-NOx (DLN) combustion system. DLN 

tuning shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’ recommendations. Emissions data 

collected during DLN tuning may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: For example, a major tuning session would occur after combustor change-out.}

(6) Compressor Blade Drying: Following a compressor blade wash in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s recommendations, the permittee may operate a gas turbine at very low loads to heat 

and dry the compressor blades. Emissions data collected while drying the compressor blades may 

be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. {Permitting Note: A gas turbine would 

typically operate at approximately 10% of base load or less to perform compressor blade drying.}

(7) Over Speed Trip Test: As a periodic maintenance practice, the permittee may perform over speed 

trip tests in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Emissions data collected while 

conducting over speed trip tests may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages. 

{Permitting Note: During this test, the gas turbine is operated at full speed, no load (FSNL) for 

approximately 5 to 6 hours. The unit is gradually accelerated to 110% speed (3960 rpm) to initiate 

a trip and then coasts down normally. Over speed trip tests are typically performed after a long 

outage or a major component overhaul.}

To the extent practicable, the permittee shall minimize the amount and duration of emissions during 

periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, DLN tuning, compressor blade drying, and over speed trip 

testing. If a CEMS reports emissions in excess of an emissions standard (24-hour block), the permittee 

shall notify the Compliance Authority within one working day with a preliminary report of: the nature, 

extent, and duration of the excess emissions; the cause of the excess emissions; and the actions taken to 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 579 of 703
correct the problem. In addition, the Compliance Authority may request a written summary report of 

the incident. All emissions data allowed for exclusion shall be summarized in the Semiannual CEMS 

Report required in Condition 25 of this subsection. 

d. Startup and Shutdown Plan: The permittee shall maintain on site a “Startup and Shutdown Plan” that 

describes procedures for startup and shutdown of the Bayside Units. 

As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above requirements are established in lieu 

of the provisions of Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. 

{Permitting Note: The durations for a cold steam turbine startup and a steam turbine startup following an 

unplanned forced outage are not typical for combined cycle units. The Bayside Units utilize the existing 

Gannon steam turbines. Operating procedures require one gas turbine to operate at low loads for 

extended periods to gradually warm the main and hot reheat steam lines to the steam turbine as well as the 

steam turbine. Some steam lines are in excess of 1700 feet. Such startups are expected to occur 

infrequently.} [Design; Rules 62-4.130, 62-210.700(5), and 62-212.400 (BACT), F.A.C.; Permit No. PSDFL-301C] 

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE TESTING

18. Operating Rate During Testing

19.

: Emissions performance testing shall be conducted with the emissions unit 

operating at permitted capacity. Permitted capacity is defined as 90 to 100 percent of the maximum 

operation rate allowed by the permit. If it is impractical to test at permitted capacity, an emissions unit may 

be tested at less than the maximum permitted capacity; in this case, subsequent emissions unit operation is 

limited to 110 percent of the test rate until a new test is conducted. Once the unit is so limited, operation at 

higher capacities is allowed for no more than 15 consecutive days for the purpose of additional compliance 

testing to regain the authority to operate at the permitted capacity. [Rule 62-297.310(2), F.A.C.] 

Test Methods

Method

: Any required tests shall be performed in accordance with the following reference methods.

Description of Method and Comments

CTM-027 Procedure for Collection and Analysis of Ammonia in Stationary Source: This is an EPA conditional 

test method. The minimum detection limit shall be 1 ppm.

5 Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources: The minimum sampling time 

shall be two hours per run and the minimum sampling volume shall be 60 dscf per run.

7E Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Stationary Sources

9 Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources

10 Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Stationary Sources: The method shall use a 

continuous sampling train.

18

Measurement of Gaseous Organic Compound Emissions by Gas Chromatography: EPA Method 18 

may be used concurrently with EPA Method 25A to deduct emissions of methane and ethane from the 

measured VOC emissions.

20 Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Dioxide and Diluent Emissions from Stationary Gas Turbines

25A Determination of Volatile Organic Concentrations

Except for Method CTM-027, the above methods are described in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, and adopted by 

reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C. Method CTM-027 is published on EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web Site at “http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ctm.html”. Although no specific tests are required for 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, the test methods are included for 

completeness. No other methods may be used for compliance testing unless prior written approval is

received from the Department. [Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

20. Initial Compliance Tests

a. Simple Cycle Units 3A and 3B: Each simple cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate initial 

compliance with the emissions standards for CO, NOx, and visible emissions in Condition 

: To demonstrate initial compliance with the emissions standards, tests shall be 

conducted on each gas turbine within 60 days after achieving at least 90% of the maximum permitted 

capacity, but not later than 180 days after initial operation of each gas turbine. Tests shall be conducted in 

accordance with the following requirements. 

14 of this 

subsection when firing natural gas and distillate oil.

b. Combined Cycle Units 3 and 4: Each combined cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate 

compliance with the emissions standards for CO, NOx, visible emissions and ammonia slip in 

Condition 14 of this subsection when firing natural gas. {Permitting Note: For combined cycle 

operation of Units 3A and 3B, initial tests when firing distillate oil are not required because this fuel 

may only be fired as a restricted emergency backup fuel.}

Tests for CO and NOx shall be conducted concurrently. Certified CEMS data may be used to demonstrate 

initial compliance with the CO and NOx emissions standards. The test results for ammonia slip shall also 

report the CO and NOx emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. [Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, 

F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.335] 

21. Annual Compliance Tests: During each federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th

a. Simple Cycle Units 3A and 3B: Each simple cycle gas turbine shall be tested annually to demonstrate 

compliance with the standard for visible emissions in Condition 

), each gas turbine 

is subject to the following testing requirements. 

14 of this subsection when firing 

natural gas and when firing distillate oil (if the unit fires distillate oil for more than 400 hours during 

the federal fiscal year).

b. Combined Cycle Units 3 and 4: Each combined cycle gas turbine shall be tested to demonstrate 

compliance with the standards for visible emissions and ammonia slip in Condition 14 of this 

subsection when firing natural gas. The test results for ammonia slip shall also report the CO and NOx 

emissions recorded by the CEMS during each test run. Units 3A and 3B shall also be tested for visible 

emissions if the unit fires distillate oil for more than 400 hours during the federal fiscal year. 

{Permitting Note: Continuous compliance with the CO and NOx standards will be demonstrated by data 

collected from the certified CEMS.} [Rules 62-212.400(BACT) and 62-297.310(7)(a)3 and 4, F.A.C.] 

22. Additional Ammonia Slip Testing

a. Begin testing and reporting the ammonia slip for each subsequent calendar quarter;

: If the tested ammonia slip rate for a gas turbine exceeds 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen when firing natural gas during the annual test, the permittee shall: 

b. Before the ammonia slip exceeds 7 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen, take corrective actions that 

result in lowering the ammonia slip to less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen; and 

c. Test and demonstrate that the ammonia slip is less than 5 ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen within 15 

days after completing the corrective actions.

Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, adding catalyst, replacing catalyst, or other SCR 

system maintenance or repair. After demonstrating that the ammonia slip level is less than 5 ppmvd 

corrected to 15% oxygen, testing and reporting shall resume on an annual basis. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.] 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 581 of 703
CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems

a. Emission Averages. Compliance with the 24-hour standards for CO and NOx emissions shall be based 

on data collected by the required CEMS. The 24-hour block shall start at midnight of each operating 

day and consist of 24 consecutive 1-hour blocks. If a unit operates continuously throughout the day, the 

24-hour block average shall be the average of 24 consecutive 1-hour emission averages. If a unit 

operates less than 24 hours during the day, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of available 

valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. If monitoring data is authorized for 

exclusion (due to startup, shutdown, malfunction, or tuning), the 24-hour block average shall be the 

average of the remaining available valid 1-hour emission averages collected during operation. Upon a 

request from the Compliance Authority, the NOx emission rate shall be corrected to ISO conditions to 

demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards of 40 CFR 60.332. 

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a 

continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) in the exhaust stack of each emissions unit to measure and 

record emissions of CO and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS 

emission standards of this permit. The carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall also be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. 

The oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated by the CEMS using the CO2 content of the flue gas 

and an F-factor that is appropriate for natural gas. 

b. Data Collection. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and record CO, CO2, 

and NOx data evenly spaced over the hour. Each 1-hour emission average shall be computed using at 

least one data point in each fifteen minute quadrant of the 1-hour block during which the unit 

combusted fuel. Notwithstanding this requirement, each 1-hour emission average shall be computed 

from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes. If the unit does not operate in 

more than one quadrant of a 1-hour block, the data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour emission 

average and shall be ignored. (Example: Unit begins startup with only ten minutes remaining in the 1-

hour block. Data is insufficient to determine a 1-hour average and is ignored.) All valid measurements 

or data points collected during a 1-hour block shall be used to calculate the 1-hour emission averages. 

If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the CEMS shall include provisions to determine 

the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results 

to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, a curve of the flue gas moisture content versus load may be 

developed through manual stack test measurements and used in an algorithm to enable correction of the 

monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). The CO and NOx CEMS shall express the 1-hour 

emission averages and the 24-hour block averages in terms of “ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen”.

c. Data Exclusion. CO, CO2, and NOx emissions data shall be recorded by the CEMS at all times 

including episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, and tuning. CO and NOx emissions data 

recorded during such episodes may be excluded from the 24-hour block compliance averages in 

accordance with the requirements of Condition 17 of this subsection. All periods of data excluded due 

to startup, shutdown or malfunction shall be consecutive for each episode. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for startup, shutdown and malfunctions, to the extent 

practicable. Data recorded during startup, shutdown or malfunction shall not be excluded if the episode 

was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize 

hourly emissions that occur during startup, shutdown and malfunction. Emissions of any quantity or 

duration that occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. Excluded emissions shall be 

summarized in the required semiannual report. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 582 of 703
d. NOx Certification. The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR Part 75 and shall be 

operated and maintained in accordance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts B 

and C. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this permit, 

missing data shall not be substituted. Instead the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the 

remaining hourly data in the 24-hour block. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to 40 CFR Part 75, Subparts F and G. The RATA tests required for the NOx monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 7E or 20 as defined in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. The span for the NOx 

monitor shall not be greater than 10 ppmvd corrected to 15% O2. A dual span monitor may be used. 

e. CO and CO2 Certification. The CO2 monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 3. The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 4. Quality assurance procedures for each monitor shall conform to the 

requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment Report of Section 7 shall be made 

each calendar quarter, and reported semi-annually to the Compliance Authority. The RATA tests 

required for the CO2 monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 3A, of Appendix A in 40 CFR 60. 

The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10, of Appendix A 

in 40 CFR 60. The Method 10 analysis shall use a continuous sampling train. The span for the CO 

monitor shall not be greater than 25 ppm corrected to 15% oxygen. A dual span CO monitor may be 

used. 

f. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability shall not be less than 95% in any calendar quarter. The 

report required in Condition 23e above shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 

95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be 

taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within 

the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the 

minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit.

{Permitting Note: Compliance with these requirements will ensure compliance with the other applicable 

CEMS requirements such as: NSPS Subpart GG; Rule 62-297.520, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60.7(a)(5) and 40 CFR 

60.13; 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P – Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirements; 40 CFR 60, Appendix 

B - Performance Specifications; and 40 CFR 60, Appendix F - Quality Assurance Procedures.}

24. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements

RECORDS AND REPORTS

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the 

ammonia injection rate through each SCR system. The permittee shall document the general range of 

ammonia flow rates required to meet emissions limitations over the range of gas turbine load conditions 

allowed in this permit by comparing NOx emissions recorded by the NOx monitor with ammonia flow rates 

recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOx monitor downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee 

shall operate at the ammonia flow rate that is consistent with the documented flow rate for the gas turbine 

load. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

25. Semiannual CEMS Report: In addition to the reports required pursuant to 40 CFR 60.7, the permittee shall 

submit semiannual reports for each gas turbine summarizing the CEMS data and equipment. For each 

calendar quarter, the report shall include: the 24-hour block compliance averages for each day of operation; 

the number of 1-hour emission averages excluded from each 24-hour compliance average; the emissions 

rate of the excluded monitoring data; the reason for excluding monitoring data; the hours of missing data 

due to monitor downtime; the reason for any monitor downtime; unusual maintenance or repair of the 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 583 of 703
CEMS; and a summary of any RATA tests performed. Based on operational data, the permittee shall also 

update the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet NOx emissions limitations over the range 

of gas turbine load conditions. A report covering operations from January through June shall be submitted 

by July 30th of each year. A report covering operations from July through December shall be submitted by 

January 30th

26.

of each year. The report due dates may be modified by the Title V permit. [Rules 62-4.070(3) 

and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

Monitoring of Operations: To demonstrate compliance with the gas turbine capacity requirements, the 

permittee shall monitor and record the operating rate of each gas turbine on a daily average basis, 

considering the number of hours of operation during each day (including the times of startup, shutdown and 

malfunction). Such monitoring shall be made using a monitoring component of the CEMS required above, 

or by monitoring daily rates of consumption and heat content of natural gas in accordance with the 

provisions of 40 CFR 75 Appendix D. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.]

This section of the permit addresses the following emissions unit.

Emissions Unit No. 033 - General Electric 7FA Combined Cycle Unit

The unit consists of a General Electric 7FA combustion turbine, automated combustion turbine control system, a heat 

recovery steam generator (HRSG), a gas-fired duct burner system, a HRSG stack, a bypass stack, and CO and NOx CEMS. 

The combustion turbine will produce a nominal 188 MW and the HRSG will be used to re-power the existing Unit 2 steam 

turbine-electrical generator to produce a nominal 238 MW. In the combustion turbine, natural gas will be fired as the 

primary fuel and distillate oil will be fired as a restricted alternative fuel from on site storage tanks. Based on the higher 

heating value of each fuel and a compressor inlet temperature of 25° F, the design maximum heat input rates are 1899

MMBtu per hour for gas firing and 2079 MMBtu per hour for oil firing. Natural gas will be the sole fuel for the duct 

burner system rated at a maximum heat input rate of 765 MMBtu per hour.

Nitrogen oxide emissions will be controlled by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system plus the dry low-NOx (DLN) 

combustion system when firing natural gas and water injection when firing distillate oil. Emissions of carbon monoxide 

and volatile organic compounds will be minimized by the firing of clean fuels and the high combustion temperatures of the 

combustion turbine. Emissions of particulate matter will be minimized by the large inlet air filtration system and the 

efficient combustion of the proposed fuels. Emissions of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide will be minimized by the 

firing of natural gas as the primary fuel and the restricted firing of distillate oil (≤ 0.05% sulfur by weight) as a backup fuel.

When firing natural gas and duct firing, exhaust gas at 188° F will leave the HRSG and exit a stack that is 18 feet in 

diameter and 150 feet tall with a volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,016,100 acfm. When firing distillate oil and duct 

firing, exhaust gas at 204° F will leave the HRSG and exit a stack that is 18 feet in diameter and 150 feet tall with a 

volumetric flow rate of approximately 1,090,210 acfm. When operating in simple cycle mode with the blanking plate 

installed, exhaust gas at 1114° F will exit an emergency bypass stack that is also 18 feet in diameter and 150 feet tall with a 

volumetric flow rate of approximately 2,433,700 acfm. Temperatures and gas flows assume a compressor inlet 

temperature of 59° F.

: 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 590 of 703
natural gas or distillate oil and operate the gas-fired duct burners. For this permit, “combined cycle” shall mean 

operation of the combustion turbine during which heat is recovered from the combustion turbine exhaust in the 

HRSG to generate steam. This includes operation when the HRSG and SCR system are functioning, but the steam 

produced is dumped to a condenser. 

b. Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Operation: The combustion turbine shall fire only natural gas with no duct firing 

when operating as a simple cycle unit with the exhaust bypassing the HRSG and SCR system. To operate in this 

manner, the unit must be cooled and a blanking plate installed to direct exhaust gases to the bypass stack. This 

method of operation will be an infrequent occurrence, most likely due to problems or maintenance of the HRSG, 

SCR system or steam turbine-electrical generator system.

a. “SC/Bypass” means operation as a simple cycle unit with the blanking plate installed to bypass the HRSG and SCR 

system and exhaust directly to the bypass stack.

b. Mass emissions rates represent the maximum equivalent “lb/hour” for the highest emitting method of operation, 

which includes duct firing for most cases. Mass emissions rates are based on a compressor inlet temperature of 25° 

F and the higher heating value of each fuel. Maximum mass emission rates will vary based on the actual test 

conditions in accordance with the performance curves and/or equations. For the combustion turbine, it is not 

necessary to continuously report hourly mass emissions rates with the CEMS data. See Appendix F for a summary 

of equivalent mass emissions rates.

c. To determine compliance with the emissions standards based on a 30-day rolling average, each fuel will have a 

separate 30-day rolling emissions standard based on CEMS data. To determine compliance with the CO emissions 

cap based on a 12-month rolling total, the mass emissions rate shall be determined from all valid hourly emissions 

data including periods such as startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switching, and tuning. Mass emissions may be 

determined from the CEMS data by using the appropriate F-Factor for each fuel.

d. To determine compliance with the NOx emissions standards based on a 30-day rolling average, each fuel will have 

a separate 30-day rolling emissions standard based on NOx CEMS data.

e. In addition to the methods specified above, data gathered by the CO CEMS and NOx CEMS may be used to 

demonstrate compliance in accordance with Conditions 26 and 27 in this section.

{Permitting Note: Potential annual emissions from the combustion turbine system are: 340 tons/year of CO, 332

tons/year of NOx, 112 tons/year of PM/PM10, 212 tons/year of SO2, 40 tons/year of SAM, and 47 tons/year of VOC.

17. Definitions

a. Startup is defined as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit which has shut down or ceased 

operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, pressure, chemical or pollution control device 

imbalances, which result in excess emissions.

: Rule 62-210.200(Definitions), F.A.C. defines the following terms.

b. Shutdown is the cessation of the operation of an emissions unit for any purpose.

c. Malfunction is defined as any unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control equipment 

or process equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual manner.

18. Excess Emissions Allowed

a. Startup: 

: As specified in this condition, excess emissions resulting from startup, shutdown, 

malfunction, fuel switches, and DLN/SCR/WI tuning are allowed provided that operators employ the best operational 

practices to minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such events. For excess emissions events that last 

less than the maximum duration allowed, only those minutes attributable to excess emissions from the event shall be 

excluded. When authorized, excess emissions data shall be excluded from a compliance determination as a continuous 

block attributed to the event.

1) Steam Turbine Generator Cold Startup: No more than the first 600 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator cold startup. A “steam turbine generator cold startup” 

is defined as startup after the steam turbine generator has been offline for 24 hours or more, or the first stage 

turbine metal temperature is 250oF or less.

2) Steam Turbine Generator Warm Startup: No more than the first 300 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator warm startup. A “steam turbine generator warm 

startup” is defined as startup to combined cycle operation when the gas turbine has been shut down for a 

period of time and the first stage steam turbine metal temperature is greater than 250o

3) Steam Turbine Generator Hot Startup: No more than the first 240 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a steam turbine generator hot startup. A “steam turbine generator hot startup” is 

defined as startup of the steam turbine generator while the unit has been operating in the combined cycle mode

4) Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Startup: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded 

due to excess emissions from a simple cycle gas turbine startup in which exhaust is directed to the HRSG/SCR 

bypass stack.

b. Shutdown: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded due to excess emissions from a 

combustion turbine shutdown. For shutdowns of less than 30 minutes in duration, only those minutes attributable 

to excess emissions from shutdown shall be excluded.

c. Malfunction: No more than 120 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded in a 24-hour period due to excess 

emissions from malfunction. Within one (1) working day of occurrence, the owner or operator shall notify the 

Compliance Authority of any malfunction resulting in the exclusion of CEMS data.

d. Fuel Switch: No more than the first 30 minutes of CEMS data shall be excluded due to excess emissions from a 

fuel switch. For fuel switches less than 30 minutes in duration, only those minutes attributable to excess emissions 

from fuel switching shall be excluded.

e. DLN/SCR/WI Tuning: No more than 72 hours of CEMS data during any consecutive 12 months shall be excluded 

from the CEMS compliance demonstration due to excess emissions from the necessary tuning of the dry low-NOx 

(DLN) combustion system, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, or the water injection (WI) system. 

Tuning sessions shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations or industry standards. 

Prior to performing any DLN, SCR, or WI tuning session, the permittee shall provide the Compliance Authority 

with an advance notice (telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic mail) that details the activity and proposed 

tuning schedule. {Permitting Note: DLN tuning sessions are typically required after completion of initial 

construction, a combustor change-out, a major repair, a unit overhaul, maintenance to a combustor, or other 

similar circumstances. During DLN or water injection tuning, the SCR system is turned off and the combustion

turbine is sequentially stepped through numerous loads (including low load levels) to gather actual emissions data 

and operational information for use in adjusting the combustion turbine and control system.}

CEMS data shall only be excluded in accordance with the procedures described in the Condition 21 of this section 

(CEMS Data Requirements). As authorized by Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., the above conditions allow excess 

emissions only for the specifically defined periods. Data exclusion does not apply to the CO emissions cap based on a 

12-month rolling total. [Application No. 0730003-009-AC; Design; Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C.]

19. Alternate Visible Emissions Standard:

CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS MONITORING SYSTEM (CEMS) REQUIREMENTS

 Visible emissions due to startup shall not exceed 10% opacity except for up to 

ten, 6-minute averaging periods during a calendar day, which shall not exceed 20% opacity. [Rule 62-210.700(5), 

F.A.C.]

20. CEMS

a. CO Monitor: The CO monitor shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 4 

or 4A. Quality assurance procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F. The annual 

and required RATA tests shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be 

based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span values shall be set appropriately, considering the 

allowable methods of operation and corresponding emission standards.

: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) 

to measure and record the emissions of CO and NOx from the combustion turbine HRSG exhaust stack in a manner 

sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS-based emission standards of this section. Within 60 

days of achieving permitted capacity, but no later than 180 days after first fire, all continuous emissions monitoring 

systems shall be installed, certified and functioning properly. 

b. NOx Monitor: The NOx monitor shall be certified pursuant to the specifications of 40 CFR 75. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 75. The annual and required RATA tests required for the 

NOX

c. Diluent Monitor: The oxygen (O

monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60.

2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored at the 

location where CO and NOx are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. If a CO2 

[Rules 62-4.070(3), 62-210.800, and 62-297.520, F.A.C.]

monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using F-factors that are appropriate for 

the fuel fired. The monitor shall comply with the performance and quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

21. CEMS Data Requirements

a. Valid Hourly Averages for Compliance: Each CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, and 

record data evenly spaced over the hour at a minimum of one measurement per minute. Except for allowable 

emissions data exclusions, all valid measurements collected during an hour shall be used to calculate a 1-hour 

block average that begins at the top of each hour. Each 1-hour block average shall be computed using at least one 

data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit combusted fuel during that quadrant of an 

hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, a 1-hour average shall be computed from at least two data points 

separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less 

than two such data points are available, there is insufficient data and the 1-hour block average is not valid. Also, if 

an allowable exclusion episode should occur over two separate hourly averages, only those minutes attributed to 

the specific episode shall be excluded from each hour.

: The CEMS shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated in the combustion 

turbine exhaust stacks to measure and record the emissions of CO, and NOx in a manner sufficient to demonstrate 

compliance with the CEMS-based emission limits standards of this section. The CEMS shall express the results in units 

of ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen.

b. 30-day Rolling Averages: A 30-day rolling average shall be calculated from all valid hourly averages collected 

during the given operating day and the previous 29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with 

the 30-day rolling NOx standard, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, Subpart D, shall 

not be utilized. Instead, the 30-day rolling average shall be determined using the remaining hourly data and 

periods of missing CEMS data are to be reported as monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring 

performance reports. {Permitting Note: Condition 22 defines the use of “maximum permitted emission levels” for 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 594 of 703
use when the combustion turbine operates in simple cycle mode.}

c. 12-Month Rolling Total: By the end of each month, the CO CEMS shall also determine a 12-month rolling total of 

CO emissions from the combustion turbine. The 12-month rolling total shall be based on all valid CO CEMS data 

collected (including startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions) for the given month and the previous 11 months.

d. Data Exclusion: Except for monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and zero and span 

adjustments, each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including episodes of startups, 

shutdowns, malfunctions, and DLN tuning. Limited amounts of CEMS emissions data recorded during some of 

these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of 

Condition 18 in this section. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such episodes to the 

extent practicable.

e. Monitor Availability. Monitor availability for each CEMS used to demonstrate compliance shall be 95% or greater 

in any calendar quarter. Monitor availability shall be calculated consistent with Subpart KKKK in 40 CFR 60 and 

reported in the SIP and NSPS excess emissions reports required in Condition 36. In the event that 95% availability 

is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report identifying the problems in achieving 

95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall 

implement the reported corrective actions within the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or 

continued failure to achieve the minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit, except as 

otherwise authorized by the Compliance Authority.

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(12), F.A.C.; 40 CFR 75] 

22. Simple Cycle HRSG/SCR Bypass Operation

a. Compliance with the NOx and CO emission standards for the simple cycle HRSG/SCR bypass mode of operation 

shall be demonstrated by conducting initial and annual tests as required by Condition 

: Because the bypass stack will only be used in emergency situations 

where the HRSG, SCR and/or steam turbine-generator are unavailable, the permittee is not required to install CO/NOx 

CEMS or permanent test ports on the bypass stack. When an emergency situation occurs, the permittee shall ensure 

that the unit is firing only natural gas and is properly operating with lean premix combustion (Mode 6). The permittee 

shall monitor the hours of operation in simple cycle HRSG/SCR bypass mode and use the following methods to 

determine CO and NOx emissions.

26 of this section.

b. Compliance with the 12-month rolling CO emissions cap, the maximum CO mass emission rate of 41.7 lb/hour 

shall be used to represent each hour of operation in this mode.

If the unit operates in simple cycle mode for a substantial period of time, the Compliance Authority may request 

additional CO and NOx testing to demonstrate compliance with the standards. [Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-

297.310(7)(b), F.A.C.]

{Permitting Note: The above sampling method is similar to the method allowed under the Acid Rain program for 

bypass stack situations as described in 40 CFR 75.17(d)(2).}

FACILITY AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Progress Energy Florida operates the Bartow Plant, which is an existing power plant (SIC No. 4911). The plant 

currently consists of: 

• Three fossil fuel fired steam generating units designated as Units 1, 2 and 3 that produce 120, 120 and 225 

megawatts (MW) of electrical power respectively;

• Four simple cycle units designated as Gas Combustion Turbine Peaking Units Nos. P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4 

each of which has a nominal capacity of 56 MW; 

• Additional emissions units include a pipeline heating boiler and relocatable diesel generators; and 

• Miscellaneous unregulated/insignificant emissions units and/or activities including fuel storage tanks and 

gas tanks that can be located at various PEF power plants. These units are listed in Appendix U of the 

current Title V Permit. 

The project is a plant repowering that includes the construction of a nominal 1,280 MW gas-fired combined 

cycle unit system (“4-on-1”) and a nominal 195 MW gas-fired simple cycle unit. The project includes and 

requires the shutdown of the three fossil fuel fired steam generating units (Units 1, 2 and 3) resulting in a net 

decrease in all PSD pollutants except for carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). 

The combined cycle unit system will consist of: four Model SGT6-5000F combustion turbine-electrical 

generators (CT-electrical generators) with a nominal rating of 215 MW at ISO conditions when practicing 

power augmentation; four duct-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG’s) each equipped with a selective 

catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor and a nominal 500 million Btu per hour (MMBtu/hr) duct burner; and a single 

nominal 420 MW steam-electrical generator (STG). Each CT within the combined cycle unit system will be 

permitted to operate in simple cycle by directing the exhaust to a bypass stack instead of the respective HRSG. 

Thus the project will include eight stacks measuring approximately 120 feet in height. 

All CTs will be equipped with evaporative coolers to condition incoming air at high ambient temperatures and 

wet injection capability for nitrogen oxides control when firing fuel oil or when practicing power augmentation. 

Each CT will be allowed to fire backup low sulfur (<0.05% S) distillate fuel oil for 1,000 hours per year (hr/yr). 

The new units are designated as Units 4 and Unit 5. 

The simple cycle CT-electrical generator will have a nominal rating of 195 MW at ISO conditions and will 

exhaust through its own 120 foot stack. 

Additional ancillary equipment will include: five natural gas fired fuel heaters; two diesel fuel storage tanks; one 

auxiliary steam boiler; and a diesel fueled emergency fire pump. 

This permit authorizes the installation the following new equipment in conjunction with the permanent 

shutdown of Units 1, 2, and 3.

• 40 CFR 63, Subpart DDDDD – NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, or Institutional Boiler or Process 

Heater. Applies to auxiliary boiler and gas heaters.

The facility is located in an area that is designated as “attainment”, “maintenance”, or “unclassifiable” for each 

pollutant subject to a National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The facility is classified as a “Fossil fuel-fired 

steam electric plants of more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input”, which is one of the 

facility categories with the PSD applicability threshold of 100 tons per year (TPY). Potential emissions of at 

least one regulated pollutant exceed 100 TPY per year, therefore the facility is classified as a “Major Stationary 

Source” with respect to Rule 62-212.400 F.A.C. 

Title I, Part C, Clean Air Act, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) 

The facility operates units subject to the Acid Rain provisions of the Clean Air Act. 

Title IV, Clean Air Act, Acid Rain Provisions 

The facility is a Title V or “Major Source” of air pollution because the potential emissions of at least one 

regulated pollutant exceed 100 tons per year or because it is a Major Source of HAP. Regulated pollutants 

include pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO

exhaust gas (TEG) exits through or is diverted to a stack unassociated with a DB-fired HRSG. This 

method of operation will be an infrequent occurrence for the four CTs that will typically operate in 

combined cycle mode as described below.

: Subject to the restrictions and requirements of this permit, the CTs may operate 

under the following methods of operation after shutdown of Units 1, 2 and 3 

b. Combined Cycle (CC) Operation: The four CTs associated with combined cycle Unit 4 may operate in 

combined cycle (CC) mode whereby the TEG is exhausted to their respective duct-fired HRSGs for 

energy recovery in order to raise steam to drive the single steam turbine-electrical generator (STG) 

subject to the restrictions of this permit. 

c. Inlet Conditioning: In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and appropriate ambient 

conditions, the evaporative cooling systems may be operated to reduce the compressor inlet air 

temperature and provide additional direct, shaft-driven electrical power. 

d. Duct Firing: The DB within each HRSG may be fired with natural gas to reheat the TEG in order to 

provide additional steam to the STG or the CTs for power augmentation. 

e. Power augmentation: Power (Steam) Augmentation (PA): Steam for PA is taken from the HRSG and 

is introduced into the CT compressor discharge, thus increasing the power produced by the expander 

portion of the turbine.

24. Excess Emissions Prohibited

25.

: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in any 

compliance determinations based on CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

Allowable Data Exclusions

a. Steam Turbine/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of the steam turbine system, up to 8 hours 

of excess emissions from any CT/HRSG system may be excluded in any 24-hour period. A cold 

“startup of the steam turbine system” is defined as startup of the 4-on-1 combined cycle system 

following a shutdown of the steam turbine lasting at least 48 hours. 

: As per the procedures in this condition, limited amounts of CO CEMS 

emissions data may be excluded from the corresponding SIP-based compliance demonstration, provided that 

best operational practices to minimize emissions are adhered to and the duration of data excluded is 

minimized. As provided by the authority in Rule 62-210.700(5), F.A.C., these conditions replace the 

provisions in Rule 62-210.700(1), F.A.C. For each CT/HRSG system, excess emissions resulting from 

startup, shutdown, and documented malfunctions shall not exceed two hours in any 24-hour period except 

for the specific cases listed below. A “documented malfunction” means a malfunction that is documented 

within one working day of detection by contacting the Compliance Authority by telephone, facsimile 

transmittal, or electronic mail.

{Permitting Note: During a cold startup of the steam turbine system, each CT/HRSG system is 

sequentially brought on line at low load to gradually increase the temperature of the steam-electrical 

turbine and prevent thermal metal fatigue. Note that shutdowns and documented malfunctions are 

separately regulated in accordance with the requirements of this condition.}

b. Shutdown Combined Cycle Operation: For shutdown of the combined cycle operation, up to 3 hours in 

any 24-hour period of excess emissions from any CT/HRSG system can be excluded. 

c. CT/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of a CT/HRSG system, up to 4 hours in any 24-hour 

period can be excluded. “Cold startup of a CT/HRSG system” is defined as a startup after the pressure 

in the high-pressure (HP) steam drum falls below 450 psig for at least a one-hour period.

d. Simple Cycle CT Startup: For startup of a CT for the purpose of operation in simple cycle mode, up to 1 

hour in any 24-hour period of excess emissions can be excluded. 

e. Fuel Switching: For fuel switching, up to 2 hours in any 24-hour period can be excluded. 

26. DLN Tuning: CEMS data collected during initial or other major DLN tuning sessions shall be excluded 

from the CEMS compliance demonstration provided the tuning session is performed in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s specifications. A “major tuning session” would occur after completion of initial 

construction, a combustor change-out, a major repair or maintenance to a combustor, or other similar 

circumstances. Prior to performing any major tuning session, the permittee shall provide the Compliance 

Authority with an advance notice of at least 7 days that details the activity and proposed tuning schedule. 

The notice may be by telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic mail.

[Rules 62-212.400, 62-210.200 (243) (BACT), 62-4.070 (3) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

31. CEM Systems: The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitoring 

systems (CEMS) to measure and record the emissions of CO from the HRSG stacks and NOX from all 

stacks in a manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission standards of 

this section. Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly functioning prior to the 

initial performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions in excess of a CO or NOX

a. CO Monitors. The CO monitors shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance 

Specification 4 or 4A within 60 calendar days of achieving permitted capacity as defined in Rule 62-

297.310(2), F.A.C., but no later than 180 calendar days after initial startup. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment 

Report of Section 7 shall be made each calendar quarter, and reported semiannually to the Compliance 

Authority. The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in 

Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span 

values shall be set appropriately considering the allowable methods of operation and corresponding 

emission standards.

standard (and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify the Compliance 

Authority. 

b. NOX Monitors. Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance with the 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant to Subparts F 

and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX

32.

monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using F-factors that are 

appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance and quality assurance 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

CEM Data Requirements

 Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, operation, 

shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration 

checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze, 

and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the 

CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an 

algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the 

owner or operator may develop through manual stack test measurements a curve of moisture contents in 

the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to 

enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS 

shall be expressed as ppmvd of CO corrected to 15% oxygen and as ppmvd of NO

: 

X (uncorrected). The 

CEMS shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS emission standards for CO and NOX as 

specified in this permit. For purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emissions standards 

of this permit, missing (or excluded) data shall not be substituted. Upon request by the Department, the 

CEMS emission rates shall be corrected to ISO conditions. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 625 of 703
 Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average value shall 

be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit 

combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, an hourly value 

shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit 

operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less than two such data points are available, the 

hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance 

with the permit standards for oil firing. The permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points 

collected during an hour to calculate the hourly average values.

 24-hour Block Averages: A 24-hour block shall begin at midnight of each operating day and shall be 

calculated from 24 consecutive hourly average emission rate values. If a unit operates less than 24 

hours during the block, the 24-hour block average shall be the average of all available valid hourly 

average emission rate values for the 24-hour block. For purposes of determining compliance with the 

24-hour CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, subpart D, 

shall not be utilized. Instead, the 24-hour block average shall be determined using the remaining hourly 

data in the 24-hour block. [Rule 62-212.400(BACT), F.A.C.] 

 Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and DLN tuning. Some of the CEMS 

emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding CO CEMS 

compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 25 and 26 of this section. All 

periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data obtained during the 

described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, DLN tuning) may be used for the 

appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such 

episodes to the extent practicable. Data recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the 

episode was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to 

minimize hourly emissions that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that 

occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

 Availability: Monitor availability for the CEMS shall be 95% or greater in any calendar quarter. The 

quarterly excess emissions report shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the event 95% 

availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report identifying the 

problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will be taken to achieve 

95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective actions within the next calendar 

quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to achieve the minimum monitor 

availability shall be violations of this permit.

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-212.400(12), F.A.C.; 40 CFR 75] 

33. Ammonia Monitoring Requirements: In accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, the permittee 

shall install, calibrate, operate and maintain an ammonia flow meter to measure and record the ammonia 

injection rate to the SCR system by the time of the initial compliance tests. The permittee shall document 

and periodically update the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet permitted emissions levels 

over the range of load conditions allowed by this permit by comparing NOX emissions recorded by the 

CEM system with ammonia flow rates recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOX monitor 

downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee shall operate at the ammonia flow rate and, as applicable for fuel 

oil firing, the water-to-fuel ratio, that are consistent with the documented flow rate for the CT load 

condition.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

FPL operates the Riviera Plant (RP), which is an existing power plant (SIC No. 4911). The plant currently 

consists of two steam generating units designated as Units 3 and 4 that produce 300 MW each of electrical 

power. Units 3 and 4 use residual fuel oil and natural gas. There are two 298-foot stacks, four fuel oil storage 

tanks, water intake structures for once-through cooling and other ancillary equipment. 

The project is a plant conversion that includes the construction of a nominal 1,250 MW natural gas-fueled 

combined cycle unit (Unit 5) and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of Units 3 and 4. The 

converted plant will be called the Riviera Beach Energy Center (RBEC). Unit 5 will consist of: 

• Three nominal 265 MW combustion turbine-electrical generators (CTG) with evaporative inlet cooling 

systems; 

• Three supplementary-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) 

reactors; 

• Three maximum 460 million Btu per hour, lower heating value (mmBtu/hr, LHV), natural gas-fueled duct 

burners (DB) located in the three HRSG (one DB/HRSG); 

• Three 149-feet exhaust stacks; 

• One nominal 6.3 million gallon distillate fuel oil storage tank; and 

• One common nominal 500 MW steam-electrical generator (STG). 

Unit 5 will use ultralow sulfur distillate (ULSD) fuel oil as backup fuel. 

Additional ancillary equipment to be installed includes: a permanent auxiliary boiler; a temporary boiler used 

during the construction phase; two emergency generators; two process (fuel) heaters; a diesel fire pump; and a 

gas compression station. The details of the equipment to be installed are listed in the table below. 

The project includes and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of Units 3 and 4 and the respective 

stacks as well as four fuel oil storage tanks. When emissions from Unit 5 are considered and offset by 

reductions from the shut down and dismantlement of Units 3 and 4, there will not be a significant net emission 

increase in any PSD pollutant. 

{Note: Throughout this permit, the electrical generating capacities represent nominal values for the given 

operating conditions.}

tests for VOC emissions are not required. 

g. Compliance with the NH3 slip standard shall be demonstrated by conducting tests in accordance with EPA Method CTM-027 

or EPA Method 320. 

h. The clean fuel sulfur specifications and visible emissions standard effectively limit the potential emissions of SAM and SO2

from the CTG. Compliance with the fuel sulfur specifications shall be determined by the ASTM methods for determination of 

fuel sulfur as detailed in the draft permit. 

i. The clean fuel sulfur specifications, low CO and NOX limits, and the visible emissions standard will effectively limit 

PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions. Compliance with the visible emissions standard shall be demonstrated by conducting tests in 

accordance with EPA Method 9.

EXCESS EMISSIONS 

{Permitting Note: The following conditions apply only to the SIP-based emissions standards specified in 

Condition No. 10 of this section. Rule 62-210.700, F.A.C. (Excess Emissions) cannot vary or supersede any 

federal provision of the NSPS, or Acid Rain programs.} 

11. Operating Procedures: The emission standards established by this permit rely on “good operating 

practices” to reduce emissions. Therefore, all operators and supervisors shall be properly trained to operate 

and maintain the CTG, DB, HRSG, and pollution control systems in accordance with the guidelines and 

procedures established by each manufacturer. The training shall include good operating practices as well as 

methods of minimizing excess emissions. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

12. Alternate Visible Emissions Standard: Visible emissions due to startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions 

shall not exceed 10% opacity except for up to ten, 6-minute averaging periods during a calendar day, which 

shall not exceed 20% opacity. [Applicant Request and Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

13. Definitions:

a. Startup is defined as the commencement of operation of any emissions unit which has shut down or 

ceased operation for a period of time sufficient to cause temperature, pressure, chemical or pollution 

control device imbalances, which result in excess emissions. [Rule 62-210.200(245), F.A.C.] 

b. Shutdown is the cessation of the operation of an emissions unit for any purpose.

c. Malfunction is defined as any unavoidable mechanical and/or electrical failure of air pollution control 

equipment or process equipment or of a process resulting in operation in an abnormal or unusual 

manner. [Rule 62-210.200(159), F.A.C.] 

14. Excess Emissions Prohibited: Excess emissions caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor 

operation or any other equipment or process failure that may reasonably be prevented during startup, 

shutdown or malfunction shall be prohibited. All such preventable emissions shall be included in any 

compliance determinations based on CEMS data. [Rule 62-210.700(4), F.A.C.] 

15. Excess Emissions Allowed: As specified in this condition, excess emissions resulting from startup, 

shutdown, fuel switching and documented malfunctions are allowed provided that operators employ the 

best operational practices to minimize the amount and duration of emissions during such incidents. For 

each CTG/HRSG system, NOX and CO emission data exclusions resulting from startup, shutdown, or 

documented malfunctions shall not exceed two hours in any 24-hour period except for the specific cases 

listed below. A “documented malfunction” means a malfunction that is documented within one working 

day of detection by contacting the Compliance Authority by telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic 

mail. 

a. STG/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of the steam turbine system, NOX and CO emission 

data exclusions for any CTG/HRSG system shall not exceed eight (8) hours in any 24-hour period. A 

cold “startup of the steam turbine system” is defined as startup of the 3-on-1 combined cycle system 

following a shutdown of the steam turbine lasting at least 48 hours. 

{Permitting Note: During a cold startup of the STG system, each CTG/HRSG system is sequentially 

brought on line at low load to gradually increase the temperature of the STG and prevent thermal 

metal fatigue. Note that shutdowns and documented malfunctions are separately regulated in 

accordance with the requirements of this condition.} 

b. Shutdown Steam Turbine System: For shutdown of steam turbine system, NOX and CO emission data 

exclusions for any CTG/HRSG system shall not exceed three (3) hours in any 24-hour period. 

c. CTG/HRSG System Cold Startup: For cold startup of a CTG/HRSG system, NOX and CO emission 

data exclusions shall not exceed four (4) hours in any 24-hour period. “Cold startup of a CTG/HRSG 

system” is defined as a startup after the pressure in the high-pressure (HP) steam drum falls below 450 

psig for at least a one-hour period. 

d. Fuel Switching: For fuel switching, NOX and CO emission data exclusions shall not exceed two (2) 

hours in any 24-hour period. 

16. Ammonia Injection: Ammonia injection shall begin as soon as operation of the CTG/HRSG system 

achieves the operating parameters specified by the manufacturer. As authorized by Rule 62-210.700(5), 

F.A.C., the above conditions allow excess emissions only for specifically defined periods of startup, 

shutdown, fuel switching, and documented malfunction of the CTG. 

[Design; Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-210.700, F.A.C.] 

17. DLN Tuning: CEMS data collected during initial or other major DLN tuning sessions may be excluded by 

the permittee from the CEMS compliance demonstration provided the tuning session is performed in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. A “major tuning session” may occur after completion 

of initial construction, a major repair, or other similar circumstances. Prior to performing any major tuning 

session, where the intent is to exclude data from the CEMS compliance demonstration, the permittee shall 

provide the Compliance Authority with an advance notice of at least 7 days that details the activity and 

proposed tuning schedule. The notice may be by telephone, facsimile transmittal, or electronic mail.

[Rules 62-204.800 and 62-297.100, F.A.C.; 40 CFR 60, Appendix A] 

19. Initial Compliance Determinations: Initial compliance tests shall be conducted within 60 days after 

achieving the maximum production rate at which the unit will be operated, but not later than 180 days after 

the initial startup of the unit. Each CTG shall be stack tested to demonstrate initial compliance with the 

emission standards for CO, NOX, VOC, visible emissions, and ammonia slip. Each unit shall be tested 

when firing natural gas, when using the duct burners and when firing distillate fuel oil. Referenced method 

data collected during the required Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATAs) may be used to demonstrate 

compliance with the initial CO and NOX standards. With appropriate flow measurements (or fuel 

measurements and approved F-factors), CEMS data may be used to demonstrate compliance with the CO 

and NOX mass rate emissions standards. CO and NOX emissions recorded by the CEMS shall also be 

reported for each run during tests for visible emissions, VOC and ammonia slip. The Department may 

require the permittee to conduct additional tests after major replacement or major repair of any air pollution 

control equipment, such as the SCR catalyst, oxidation catalyst, DLN combustors, etc. 

[Rule 62-297.310(7)(a)1, F.A.C. and 40 CFR 60.8]. 

20. Continuous Compliance: The permittee shall demonstrate continuous compliance with the 30-unit 

operating days rolling average CO and NOX emissions standards based on data collected by the certified 

CEMS. Within 45 days of conducting any RATA on a CEMS, the permittee shall submit a report to the 

Compliance Authority summarizing results of the RATA. Compliance with the CO emission standards also 

serves as an indicator of efficient fuel combustion and oxidation catalyst operation, which reduces 

emissions of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds.

be tested to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for visible emissions and ammonia slip. 

Testing to determine the ammonia slip shall be conducted while firing the primary fuel. NOX emissions 

recorded by the CEMS shall be reported for each ammonia slip test run. CO emissions recorded by the 

CEMS shall be reported for the visible emissions observation period. 

{Permitting Note: After initial compliance with the VOC standards is demonstrated, annual compliance 

tests for VOC emissions are not required. Compliance with the continuously monitored CO standards shall 

indicate efficient combustion and low VOC emissions. The Department retains the right to require VOC 

testing if CO limits are exceeded or for the reasons given in Appendix SC, Condition 17, Special 

Compliance Tests.} 

[Rules 62-4.070(3) and 62-297.310(7)(a)4, F.A.C.] 

22. Compliance for SAM, SO2 and PM/PM10/PM2.5: In stack compliance testing is not required for SAM, SO2

and PM/PM10/PM2.5. Compliance with the limits and control requirements for SAM, SO2 and 

PM/PM10/PM2.5 is based on the recordkeeping required in Specific Condition 28, the visible emissions 

standard and the CO/NOX continuous monitoring. [Rule 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.] 

CONTINUOUS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS 

23. Continuous Emissions Monitoring System(s) (CEMS): The permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and 

operate CEMS to measure and record the emissions of CO and NOX from the combined cycle CTG in a 

manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission standards of this section. 

Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly functioning prior to the initial 

performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions in excess of a CO or NOX standard 

(and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify the Compliance Authority. 

a. CO Monitors: The CO monitors shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance 

Specification 4 or 4A within 60 calendar days of achieving permitted capacity as defined in Rule 62-

297.310(2), F.A.C., but no later than 180 calendar days after initial startup. Quality assurance 

procedures shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, and the Data Assessment 

Report in Section 7 shall be made each calendar quarter, and reported semiannually to the Compliance 

Authority. The RATA tests required for the CO monitor shall be performed using EPA Method 10 in 

Appendix A of 40 CFR 60 and shall be based on a continuous sampling train. The CO monitor span 

values shall be set appropriately considering the allowable methods of operation and corresponding 

emission standards. 

b. NOX Monitors: Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance with the 

requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant to Subparts F 

and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX monitor shall be performed using EPA 

Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. 

c. Diluent Monitors: The oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored 

at the location where CO and NOX are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% 

oxygen. If a CO2 monitor is installed, the oxygen content of the flue gas shall be calculated using Ffactors that are appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance and 

quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

24. CEMS Data Requirements: 

a. Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, operation, 

shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration 

checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and operated to sample, analyze,

and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures concentration on a wet basis, the 

CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture content of the exhaust gas and an 

algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the 

owner or operator may develop through manual stack test measurements a curve of moisture contents in 

the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to 

enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS 

shall be expressed as ppmvd corrected to 15% oxygen. The CEMS shall be used to demonstrate 

compliance with the CEMS emission standards for CO and NOX as specified in this permit. For 

purposes of determining compliance with the CEMS emissions standards of this permit, missing (or 

excluded) data shall not be substituted. Upon request by the Department, the CEMS emission rates 

shall be corrected to International Organization of Standardization (ISO) conditions. 

b. Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average value shall 

be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, where the unit 

combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this requirement, an hourly value 

shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit 

operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less than two such data points are available, the 

hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance 

with the permit standards for oil firing. The permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points 

collected during an hour to calculate the hourly average values. 

c. 30-Unit Operating Day Rolling Averages: Compliance shall be determined after each operating day by 

calculating the arithmetic average of all the valid hourly averages from that operating day and the prior 

29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with the 30-unit operating day rolling 

CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR Part 75, subpart D, shall not be 

utilized. Instead, the 30-unit operating day rolling average shall be determined using the remaining 

hourly data in the 30-day rolling period. 

{Permitting Note: There may be more than one 30-unit operating day compliance demonstration 

required for CO and NOX emissions depending on the use of alternate fuels.}

d. Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and DLN tuning. Some of the CEMS 

emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding CEMS 

compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 15 and 17 of this section. All 

periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data obtained during the 

described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, DLN tuning) may be used for the 

appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall minimize the duration of data excluded for such 

episodes to the extent practicable. Data recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the 

episode was caused entirely or in part by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or 

process failure, which may reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to 

minimize hourly emissions that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that 

occur entirely or in part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process 

failure, which may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

e. Data Exclusion during Installation of Oxidation Catalyst: The permittee may exclude CO CEMS data 

in excess of the 7.5 ppmvd @15% O2 from the 30 operating day rolling average calculation during the 

installation of the oxidation catalyst (which shall not exceed 12 months) provided all reasonable efforts 

are used to minimize such emissions. However, all CEMS data must be included when determining 

whether there is a net emission increase [as defined in Section 62-210.200 (definitions), F.A.C.] of CO 

greater or equal to the significant emissions rate of 100 tons per year.

injection rate to the SCR system by the time of the initial compliance tests. The permittee shall document 

and periodically update the general range of ammonia flow rates required to meet permitted emissions 

levels over the range of load conditions allowed by this permit by comparing NOX emissions recorded by 

the CEM system with ammonia flow rates recorded using the ammonia flow meter. During NOX monitor 

downtimes or malfunctions, the permittee shall operate at the ammonia flow rate and, as applicable for fuel 

oil firing, the water-to-fuel ratio, that are consistent with the documented flow rate for the combustion 

turbine load condition. [Rules 62-4.070(3), F.A.C.]

applicant or any of the parties listed below must be filed within 14 days of receipt of this Written Notice 

of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice 

under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the attached Public Notice 

or within 14 days of receipt of this Written Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit, whichever occurs first. 

Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of 

agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of 

publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, 

at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall 

constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under 

Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any 

subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the 

presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. 

A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must 

contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s 

file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; 

the name, address and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the 

address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the 

petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when 

and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all 

disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of 

the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or 

modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the 

petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an 

explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the 

relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with 

respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which 

the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall 

contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. 

Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a 

petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it 

in this Written Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected 

by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to 

become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The FPL Port Everglades Plant currently consists of four fossil fuel steam generator that together 

produce approximately 1,200 megawatts (MW) of electrical power and 12 small simple cycle combustion 

turbine generators (CTGs) that together produce approximately 504 MW. The steam generators use 

residual fuel oil and natural gas and exhaust through four 344-foot stacks. The small CTGs use natural 

gas and No. 2 fuel oil and exhaust through 44-foot stacks. There are fuel oil storage tanks, water intake 

structures for once-through cooling and other ancillary equipment. 

PROPOSED PROJECT

The project includes the construction of a nominal 1,250 MW natural gas-fueled combined cycle unit 

(Unit 5) and requires the permanent shutdown and dismantling of the four fossil fuel steam generators. 

The new unit (Unit 5) will be called the Port Everglades Next Generation Clean Energy Center and 

abbreviated as PEEC. 

Unit 5 will consist of three nominal 250 MW CTGs and three heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). 

The HRSG will utilize the waste heat from the combustion turbines to produce steam to be utilized in a 

single nominal 500 MW steam turbine generator. Each of the three CTG/HRSG sets will exhaust 

through a 149-foot stack.

The primary fuel for Unit 5 will be natural gas and ultralow sulfur distillate (ULSD) fuel oil will be used 

as backup fuel. Additional ancillary equipment to be installed includes: an auxiliary boiler; two 

temporary boilers used during construction; two emergency generators; a diesel fire pump; two process 

heaters; and a gas compression station. Details of the equipment to be installed are listed below.

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

21. Continuous Emissions Monitoring System(s) (CEMS): The permittee shall install, calibrate, 

maintain, and operate CEMS to measure and record the emissions of NOX from the combined cycle 

CTGs in a manner sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the CEMS emission 

standards of this section. Each monitoring system shall be installed, calibrated, and properly 

functioning prior to the initial performance tests. Within one working day of discovering emissions 

in excess of a NOX standard (and subject to the specified averaging period), the permittee shall notify 

the Compliance Authority. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 685 of 703
a. NOX Monitors: Each NOX monitor shall be certified, operated, and maintained in accordance 

with the requirements of 40 CFR 75. Record keeping and reporting shall be conducted pursuant 

to Subparts F and G in 40 CFR 75. The RATA tests required for the NOX monitor shall be 

performed using EPA Method 20 or 7E in Appendix A of 40 CFR 60. 

b. Diluent Monitors: The O2 or carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue gas shall be monitored at 

the location where NOX are monitored to correct the measured emissions rates to 15% oxygen. If 

a CO2 monitor is installed, the O2 content of the flue gas shall be calculated using 

F-factors that are appropriate for the fuel fired. Each monitor shall comply with the performance 

and quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR 75. 

22. CEMS Data Requirements

a. Data Collection: Emissions shall be monitored and recorded at all times including startup, 

operation, shutdown, and malfunction except for continuous monitoring system breakdowns, 

repairs, calibration checks, and zero and span adjustments. The CEMS shall be designed and 

operated to sample, analyze, and record data evenly spaced over an hour. If the CEMS measures 

concentration on a wet basis, the CEM system shall include provisions to determine the moisture 

content of the exhaust gas and an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to a dry 

basis (0% moisture). Alternatively, the owner or operator may develop through manual stack test 

measurements a curve of moisture contents in the exhaust gas versus load for each allowable

fuel, and use these typical values in an algorithm to enable correction of the monitoring results to 

a dry basis (0% moisture). Final results of the CEMS shall be expressed as ppmvd corrected to 

15% O2. The CEMS shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the CEMS emission 

standards for NOX as specified in this permit. For purposes of determining compliance with the 

CEMS emissions standards of this permit, missing (or excluded) data shall not be substituted. 

Upon request by the Department, the CEMS emission rates shall be corrected to International 

Organization of Standardization (ISO) conditions. 

: 

b. Valid Hour: Hourly average values shall begin at the top of each hour. Each hourly average 

value shall be computed using at least one data point in each fifteen-minute quadrant of an hour, 

where the unit combusted fuel during that quadrant of an hour. Notwithstanding this 

requirement, an hourly value shall be computed from at least two data points separated by a 

minimum of 15 minutes (where the unit operates for more than one quadrant of an hour). If less 

than two such data points are available, the hourly average value is not valid. An hour in which 

any oil is fired is attributed towards compliance with the permit standards for oil firing. The 

permittee shall use all valid measurements or data points collected during an hour to calculate the 

hourly average values.

c. 30-Unit Operating Day Rolling Averages: Compliance shall be determined after each operating 

day by calculating the arithmetic average of all the valid hourly averages from that operating day 

and the prior 29 operating days. For purposes of determining compliance with the 30-unit 

operating day rolling CEMS standards, the missing data substitution methodology of 40 CFR 

Part 75 Subpart D, shall not be utilized. Instead, the 30-unit operating day rolling average shall 

be determined using the remaining hourly data in the 30-day rolling period. 

{Permitting Note: There may be more than one 30-unit operating day compliance demonstration 

required for NOX emissions depending on the use of alternate fuels.}

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 686 of 703
d. Data Exclusion: Each CEMS shall monitor and record emissions during all operations including 

episodes of startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches and combustor tuning. Some of the 

CEMS emissions data recorded during these episodes may be excluded from the corresponding 

CEMS compliance demonstration subject to the provisions of Condition Nos. 12 and 13 of this 

section. All periods of data excluded shall be consecutive for each such episode and only data 

obtained during the described episodes (startup, shutdown, malfunction, fuel switches, 

combustor tuning) may be used for the appropriate exclusion periods. The permittee shall 

minimize the duration of data excluded for such episodes to the extent practicable. Data 

recorded during such episodes shall not be excluded if the episode was caused entirely or in part 

by poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process failure, which may 

reasonably be prevented. Best operational practices shall be used to minimize hourly emissions 

that occur during such episodes. Emissions of any quantity or duration that occur entirely or in 

part from poor maintenance, poor operation, or any other equipment or process failure, which 

may reasonably be prevented, shall be prohibited. 

e. Availability: Monitor availability for the CEMS shall be 95% or greater in any calendar quarter. 

The quarterly excess emissions report shall be used to demonstrate monitor availability. In the 

event 95% availability is not achieved, the permittee shall provide the Department with a report 

identifying the problems in achieving 95% availability and a plan of corrective actions that will 

be taken to achieve 95% availability. The permittee shall implement the reported corrective 

actions within the next calendar quarter. Failure to take corrective actions or continued failure to 

achieve the minimum monitor availability shall be violations of this permit, except as otherwise 

authorized by the Department’s Compliance Authority.

RE: Status Update To FPL's BART-Eligible Units 

Dear Mr. Koerner:

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

Since the 2002 declaration of FPL's BART-eligible units, recent facility changes have altered the 

composition of our BART-eligible fleet. At FDEP's request, FPL provides the following status update to 

its BART-eligible fleet: 

The conversion of the Cape Canaveral Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired plant, The Cape 

Canaveral Energy Center, has removed the fossil steam boilers Cape Canaveral I &2 from the population 

of BART-eligible Units. The new combined cycle gas-fired units employ Best Available Control 

Technology (BACT) as outlined in its Air Construction penn it 0090006-0056-AC issued by the 

Department on July 23, 2009. The former fossil steam boilers, demolished on August 22,2010 were 

permitted to bum 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel oil and natural gas. The conversion to highly efficient combined 

cycle technology using clean-burning natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing 

emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate Matter from the site. 

The conversion of the Rivera Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired plant, The Riviera Beach 

Energy Center, has removed the fossil steam boiler Rivera 4 from the population of BART-eligible Units. 

Unit 3 at Riviera was not BART-eligible due to its in-service date, but it too was demolished as part of the 

conversion. The new combined cycle gas-fired units employ Best Available Control Technology (BACT) 

as outlined in its Air Construction permit 0990042-006-AC issued by the Department on June 10,2009. 

The fonner fossil steam boilers, demolished on June 19, 20 11 were pennitted to burn 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel 

oi l and natural gas. The conversion to highly efficient combined cycle technology using clean-burning 

natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate 

Malter from the site. 

The planned modernization of the Port Everglades Power Plant to a combined cycle natural gas-fired 

plant will further red uce FPL's BART-eligible fleet. The Port Everglades Energy Center, will remove the 

fossil steam boilers 3& 4 from the population of BART-eligible Units. Units 1&2 at Port Everglades were 

not BART-eligible due to their in-service dates, however, they too will be demolished as part of the 

modernization. The new combined cycle gas-fired units will employ Best Available Control Technology 

(BACT). The Site Certification Application and the Air Construction Penn it Application for the POIt

Everglades modernization are expected to be sent to the Department by the end of this month. The fossil 

steam boilers I through 4 are anticipated to be demolished in the first quarter of2013 prior to the BART 

compliance deadline of December 31,2013. The boilers were pennitted to bum 2.5% sulfur #6 fuel oil 

and natural gas. The modernization to highly efficient combined cycle technology using clean-burning 

natural gas will substantially reduce the visibility impairing emissions of SO" NOx, and Particulate 

Matter from the site. 

These conversions/modernizations along with new unit installations such as the West County Energy 

Center, Turkey Point Unit 5, Manatee Unit 3, Martin Unit 8, the discontinued operation of Turkey Point 2 

and limited operation of Turkey Point 1 have substantially reduced the emissions of visibility impairing 

pollutants to the Florida airshed in support of the Clean Air Visibility Rule goals.
