Proposed Revision to State Implementation Plan

Submittal Number 201 5

- 01 Regional Haze Plan (Amended)

Lakeland Electric

– McIntosh

Introduction

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is proposing a revision to Florida’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA). Pursuant to the requirements

of sections 169A and 169B of the CAA

, and the U.S. Environmental Prote ction Agency (EPA) implementing regulations at 40 CFR 51.308, DEP has developed this proposed revision to

Florida ’s Regional Haze P lan for approval by EPA as a revision to Florida’s SIP.

On August 29

, 2013, EPA published in the Federal Register ( 78 FR 53 250 ) its final approval of

Florida’s Regional H aze SIP. Florida’s Regional Haze SIP consists of the document “Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class 1 Areas

, ” together with “Exhibit 1,” “Exhibit 2 ,” and “Exhibit 3” each of which consolidates various state rules and permits in support of the Plan. Additional technical support materials were included with Florida’s Regional Haze Plan submittal, but were not incorporated into Florida’s SIP.

Through the submission of this SIP transm ittal document and enclosed CD

- ROM, DEP is requesting that EPA review and approve for incorporation into Florida’s Regional Haze P lan a nitrogen oxides ( NO X ) emission limit for Lakeland Electric ’s C.D. McIntosh Unit 1

, wh ere such

limit i s ab s ent in Florida’s existing SIP. DEP requests that EPA amend t he existing SIP document, “ Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class 1 Areas ” to include this limit in Florida’ s best available retrofit technology ( BART ) determination and amend “ Exhibit 2 ” of Florid a’s approved Regional Haze Plan to include the air construction permit t hat establishes the NO X emission limit for this unit

.

Background

In 2012, the State of Flo rida conducted case

- by

- case B ART determinations for its affected sources, including Unit 1 at Lakeland Electr ic’s C.D. McIntosh power plant. These determinations are a component of Florida’s a pproved Regional Haze Plan

. McIntosh Unit 1 is a

forced draft boiler rated at a n ominal load of 90 megawatts

. In conducting its BART analysis for Unit 1, DEP assumed annual operation of 8760 hours per year ( al though in each of the last four years the unit never operated for more than 125 hours) and determined that the level of control already in plac e for Unit 1 wa s BART for NO X

. Unit 1 wa s required to use best operating practices for good combustion

, b ut had no other controls for NO X emissions , and a NO X emission limit was not set at that time

.

Florida upholds its BART determination for Unit 1, but also recognizes that a numeric emission

limit for NO X reflecting best operating practices for good combustion would strengthen Florida’s

3Regional Haze SIP. Prior to EPA’s approval of Florida’s Regional Haze Plan, Mr. Brian Accardo, in his capacity as Director of DEP’s Division of Air Resource Management, submitted a letter to Ms. Carol Kemker, Acting Director of the Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division for EPA Region 4, in which DEP committed to amending Fl orida’s SIP to incorporate a

NO X emissions limit for Unit 1 by March 1 9 , 2015

. In keeping with this commitment , Florida

has imp osed a federally enforceable NO X emission limit on Unit 1 through a n air construction permit (DEP Permit No. 1050004

- 034

- AC , issu ed April 30, 2014)

. Through this proposed SIP

rev ision, DEP proposes to incorporate the NO X emission limit from this constructi on permit into Florida’s Regional Haze SIP.

SIP Development Process

Section 403.061(35), Florida Statutes, authorizes DEP to “exercise the duties, powers, and responsibilities required of the state under the federal Clean Air Act.” These duties and responsibilities include the development and periodic updating of Florida’s SIP. Pursuant to this authority, DEP has developed t his proposed SIP revision.

DEP complied with the public participation requirements of 40 CFR 51.102 by publishing in the

Florida Administrati ve Register (FAR ) a notice of opportunity to submit comments, request a public hearing, or participate in a public hearing, if requested, on the proposed SIP submittal at least 30 days before the scheduled hearing date. Specifically, DEP published a notice i n the FAR

on December 24 , 20 14 , for a January 27 , 201 5 hearing

, if requested

. A copy of this notice is

included in the “Public Participation” section of this SIP submittal. No hearing was requested, therefore no hearing was held.

O n or before the date of the public notice , DEP provided a pre

- hearing draft SIP submittal to EPA Region 4 and posted the pre

- hearing dr aft materials on its website. T he Federal Land Manager s ; the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi ; and persons on DEP’s Air Regulatory Projects list

- serve were notified of the availability of the pre

- hearing notice and web postings

. Comments from t hese states, entities, and members of the public, together with DEP’s responses to these comments, are provided in the “Public Participation” section of this SIP

submittal.

Amended Elements of Florida’s Regional Haze Plan

In this amendment, DEP is imposing a NO X emission limit for the Lakela nd Electric C.D.

McIntosh Unit 1 wh ere such limit was absent in Florida’s existing SIP. The SIP document, “Regional Haze Plan for Florida Class 1 Areas” is amended to include this limit in the BART

determination

, and “ Exhibit 2 ” of Flori da’s approved Regional Haze Plan is amended to incorporate the construction permit that requires the emission limit.

Upon approval of this SIP revision, “Exhibit 2” (as amended) will incorporate DEP Permit No

1050004

- 034

- AC, iss ued to Lakeland Electric on April 30, 2014, which includes the following condition: “Effective no later than U.S. EPA’s approval of the amendment to Florida’s Regional Haze SIP, at the C.D. McIntosh, Jr. Power Plant in Lakeland, Florida, when combusting al l

4permitted fuels for Unit 1 (natural gas, No. 6 fuel oil, used oil), NO X emissions from Unit 1 shall not exceed 0.46 1b/MMBtu of heat input, based on a 30

- operating day rolling average.”
