Source Description 

Biomass Energy, LLC South Point :Power (SPP) proposes to modify 7 existing 175 MMBtu/hr boilers 

to use a different boiler firing configuration which increases the maximum boiler firing rate to 313 

MMBtu/hr (B001 B007) and add a 247 MMBtu/hr Natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil t'wed Auxiliary 

boiler (B011), modify the material handling operation (F001), and add an outdoor wood storage pile 

(F003). The 7 existing boilers were part of the SouthPoint Ethanol (SPE) facility which shutdown in 

May 1995. The.se netting credits are being used because this modification was requested prior to the 

expiration of the previous PTI (07-00493) for this facility. 

Facility Emissions and Attainment Status 

SPP will be located in Lawrence.County, which is .attainment for all criteria pollutants. The SPP 

facility, has potential emissions greater than 250 tons per year for nitrogen oxides. 

Source Emissions 

Potential •otal annual CO emissions from the 7 wood fired boilers (B001 B007) and the Auxiliary 

Boiler (B011) exceed the PSD threshold for CO. Since the Auxiliary boiler is intended tobe used only 

to keep components warm or when one or more of the wood boilers are not operating, SPP has requested 

to restrict the annual emissions from the Auxiliary boiler and to restrict the operation of the Auxiliary boilerto use only when no more than- 6 of the wood fired boilers ate in Operation. These restrictions 

keep the potential CO emissions under the PSD threshold level of 100 T•PY. These operational 

restrictions have been included-in the terms and conditions of the Auxiliary Boiler (B011), 

SPP proposes to net out of PSD for the pollutants sul .fur dioxide and nitrogen, oxide by using emissions 

credits from the three boilers which were in Operation at the time SPE shutdown. The current emissions 

are aotual annual emissions based On a two year period within the. contemporaneous time frame of the 

original permitting ofthe boiler modification (previous Permit to Install issued 07/15/98and 

modification issued 2/7/02). The current and proposed maximum facility emissions are:

Conclusion 

The total emissions from the proposed modifications demonstrate that emissions are less than PSD 

significant levels for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and lead. However, emissions for 

PM/PM•0 and VOC were over PSD significant levels. Since each boiler has potential.to emit lesSthan 

10 TPY for any single HAP and less than 25 TPY for any combination of HAPs, Section 112 (g) of the 

Clean Air Act or Ohio Administrative Code 3745-31-28 was not•triggered.

The CleanAir Ac•t and regulations promulgated thereunder require, that major 

air pollution sources undergoing construction or modification comply with 

all applicable Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provislons .and 

nonattainment area New Source Review requirements The federal PSD rules 

govern emission increases in attainment areas for ma3or sources, which are• 

sources with the potential tO emit 250 tons per year or more of any 

pollutant regulated under the Clean Air Act, or. i00 tons per year or more 

if the sohrce • is included in one of 28 source categories. In nonattainment 

areas, the definition of major source is one having at least i00 tons. per 

year potential emissions. A major modification is one resulting in a 

contemporaneous increase in emissions which ex.ceeds the significance level 

of one or more pollutants. Any changes in actual emissions within a fiveyear period a•e considered to be contempo.raneous. In addition, Ohionow 

has .incorporated the PSD and NSR requirements by rule under OAC 3745-31. 

Both PSD .and nonattainment rules require that certain analyses be per.formed 

before a facility can obtain a permit authorizing construction of a new 

source or ma3or modification to a ma3or source. The principal requirements 

of the PSD regulations are: 

I) 

2) 

Best Available Control Technology (BACT) review A detailed 

engineerinq review must be performed to ensure that BACT is being 

installed for the pollutanZs for which the new source is a major 

source. 

Ambient Air Quality Review An analysis must be completed to ensure 

the continued maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) and that any increases in ambient air pollutant 

concentratLons do not exceed the incremental, values set pursuant to 

the Clean.Air Act. 

For nonattainment areas, the requirements are: 

Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate (.LAER) New ma3or sources must 

install controls that represent the lowest em±ssion levels (highest 

control efficiency) that has been achieved in practice. 

The emissions from the new major source must be offset by a reduction 

of existing emissions of the same pollutant by at least the same 

.amount, and a demonstration must be made that the resulting air 

quality shows a net alr quality benefit. This is more completely 
described in the Emission Off.set-Interpretative Ruling as found •n 

Appendix S of 40 CFR Part 51. 

The facility must certify that all major sources owned or operated in 

the state by the same entity are eithe9 in compliance with the 

existing State Implementation Plan (SIP) or are on an •pprovgd 

schedule resulting in full compliance with the SIP.. 

For rural ozone nonatta±nment areas, the requirements are: 

i) 

2• 

LAER New major sources must install controls that represent the 

lowest emissions levels (highest control efficiency.) that has been 

achieved in practice.. 

The facility must certify tha• all .ma3or sources owned or operated in 

the state by the same entity are either in compliance with the 

existing SIP or are on an approved schedule resulting in full 

compliance with the SIP. 

Finally, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), SIP emission standards 

and public participation requirements must be followed in all cas4s. 

Site Description 

The facility is in South Point, Ohio, which is located in Lawrence County. 

This area is classified as attainment for all of the criteria pollutants: 

particulate matter less than i0 microns, sulfur dioxide,, nitrogen oxides, 

carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (ozone) and lead. 

Facility Description 

The Biomass, LLC South Point Pow•r (Biomass) facility consists of 7 

boilers purchased from the former South Point Ethanol plant. The boilers 

are. being rebuilt to burn wood .based fuel to generate power. Biomass 

Energy; LLC. (Biomass)intends to install a combustion process that is 

common in the U.S., fixed grate stoker combustion of wood chips and dust. 

The wood is blown into th4 furnace. The stoker is a pin hole grate. The 

wood fuel will consist of sawmill wood waste .products. 

New Source Review (NSR)/PSD Applicability 

This process will generate criteria pollutant emlssions of particulate 

matter (PM/PMI0), Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), NOx, SO2 and CO 

emissions. For PSD purposes, Biomass (forgerly South Point Ethanol) is 

considered a major facility.. A PSD analysis is required for any increase 

in emissions of a pollutant exceeding the PSD threshold emissions level, or 

the significance levels. Ofthe pollutants emitted, PMI0 and VOC will 

result in a net increase above PSD levels. This is.a netting permit for 

SO2 and NOx. New Source Review is not applicable, due to attainment 

status. There are no Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) 

requirements applicable.

Control Technoloqy Review 

-As part of the application for any source regulated under the PSD 

requirements, an analysis must be conducted that demonstrates that Best 

Available Control Technology (BACT) will •e employed by the source. The 

Biomass facility iS subject to PSD regulations which mandate a case-by-case 

BACT anal•sis•be performed-for PMI0 and VOC. 

PMI0 BACT 

A number of technologies for the control of particulate matter from large 

boilers can be found in the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse, including 

cyclones, baghouses, and electrostatic precipitators (ESP). 

The existing reverse air baghouse will be upgraded such that it will 

accommodate higher .operating temperatures needed by the NOx control system, 

SCR. An ESP will be used before the baghouse, and this will be done to 

make the emissions more capable of supporting the Best Available Technology 

(BAT) requirement of•a SCR. The baghouse will capture 98 percent [0.004 

grains per dry standard cubic foot). The resulting emissions are 

comparable to, and within the emissions range of, similar sources found in 

the Clearinghouse. 

VOC BACT 

A CLearinghouse search revealed only one conventional approach to control, 

and that is good combustion practices. Good combustion control will be 

employed. An oxidation-catalyst is also .being installed for Carbon 

Monoxide control, and the catalyst will reduce VOC emissions by 30 percent 

as well. 

Ambient .Air Quality Monitorinq Requirements 

U:S. EPA regulations require a year of ambient air quality data to be 

obtained as part of the PSD application. An•applicant may conduct 

monitoring on-size, model to demonstrate .a "de minimis" impact, or used 

existing air quality data to fill some of the requirements ofa PSD ambient 

air quality analysis. If monitoring is required,.U.S. EPA•has set up 

specific .conditions on the acceptability of existing air qualitymonitors 

is to ensure the monitor is representative of air quality in the area. 

In this instance,Biomass has conducted ambient a±r quality modeling that 

predicts the ambient air quality impact, of the source(s) to be less than 

the monitoring de minimus concentrations for each o• the pollutants. 

Therefore, Biomass would not be required to conduCt pre-application 

monitoring. A summary is. below:

Modelinq 

Only P.•I0 exceeded the PSD slgnificant emission rates. Air quality 

dispersion modeling was conducted to assess the effect of these sources on 

ambient air quality standards and PSD increments. The U.S. EPA Ihdustrial 

Source Complex-Short Term (ISCST3, Version 02035) model was used for the 

refined modeling analysls. 

The ISCST3, Version 02035 model was the appropriate model {or the simple to 

intermediate terrain portion Of the analysis due.to the need to incorporate 

building wake effects, the need to predict both short-term and long-term 

(annual) average concentrations, and the need to incorporate impacts from 

multiple and separated emlssions units. 

The ISCST3, Version 02035 model was run.with the regulatory default options 

(stack-tip downwash, buoyancy-induced dispersion, final plume rise), 

default wind speed profile categories, default potential temperature 

gradient, and no pollutant decay. Building downwash was assessed using 

either the Huber-Snyder Or Schulman-Sire downwash methodology, depending on 

the stack and nearby bUilding .heights. 

The ISCST3, Version 02035 model was run utilizing the National Weather 

Service meteorological data processed using the U.S. EPA PCRAMMET program. 

OEPA provided five years of the most recent PCRAMMET processed 

meteorological data on our bulletin board system. Eollowing OEPA modeling 

guidance concerning representative meteorological data for various 

counties, the Huntington Surface, Huntington Upper Air (1987-1991) PCRAMMET 

data were ursed in the refined modeling analys•s. 

Building wake effects will influence emissions from stacks with heights 

less than Good Engineering Practice (GEP) The ISCST3, Version 02035 model 

requires •nput of building heights and projected buildin• widths for 36 

wind directions. The U.S. EPA Building Profile Input Program (BPIP) was 

used to determine the direction-specific building dimensions. 

Siqnificant Impact Analysis 

ISCST3 was applied to the sources at•the proposed facility to determine if 

the proposed facility would have.impacts above the PSD significant impact 

increments. Peak facility impacts are presented in the table below:

annual averaging times are 4;97 "•/m 3 and 0.75 "•/m •, respectively. These 

concentrations do not exceed the PSD significant impact levels, 5 "•/m • 
and 1 "•/m 3, respectively. Since the SI.A analys±s does not exceed the PSD 

significance impact thresholds, PSD and NAAQS modeling analyses are not 

required.. 

Toxic Analysis 

The worsn case toxic to be increased by thi's permit is Acrolein. The net 

impact due to this permit will be 0'.337 "•[/m 3, 1-hour, which is below the 

MAGLC of 5.4 °•/m3• 

Secondary. Impact, 

The closest Class I.area to :the Biomass Eacility is the Mammouth Cave Class 

I national park Wh±ch over, 150 miles to the southeast• Federal PSD 

regulation regulations require that the revlewing authority provide Writ.ten 

notificat±on of projects which may affect a Class i area. "May effect" is 

typically interpretedby EPA as a major source or major modification within 

100 kilometers. Since the Biomass Facility is located greater than i00 

kilometer• from any Class I area, and all modeled impaCts are below 

Significant Impact Levels, the'Biom•ss Facility was nor subject to the 

visibility analysis, modeling. 

Most of the designated vegetation screenlng levels are equivalent to'or 

exceed NAAQS and/or PSD increments, so that sanisfactiOn of NAAQS and PSD 

increment assures compliance with sensitive vegetation screening levels. 

For SO 2 3-hour and Annual averaging periods, sensitive screening levels are 

more stringent than comparable NAAQS standards.. The Biomass facility does 

not have significant emissions of SO2. 

No adverse effects are expected upon local vegetatlon or species. This is 

a former industrial site, so no major changes are expected to result in the 

area by the operation of the boilers. 

Conclusiohs 

Based upon the review of the permit to install application and the 

supjorting documentation provided by Biomass, the Ohio EPA staff has 

de, termined the installation will comply with all applicable State and 

Federal environmental regulations and that the requirements for BACT are 

satisfied. Therefore, the Ohio EPA staff, recommends that a permit' to 

install be issued to Biomass for the boiler operations.

ISSUANCE OF DRAFT PERMIT TO INSTALL 

SUBJECT TO PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION REVIEW 

FOR BIOMASS, LLC SOUTH POINT POWER 

Public Notice is hereby given that the Staff of the Ohio Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) has recommended to the Director that the Ohio EPA 

issue a draft action of a Permit to Install (PTI) to Biomass, Sout• Point, 

Ohio. The draft action (permit no. 07-00534) was issued on March 29, 2004. 

This draft permit proposes to allow the modification of seven boilers [o be 

fueled by 'wood waste. Air emissions of several pollutants will result. 

The proposed allowable criteria pollutant air emission rates which result 

-from net increases at the facility, are listed below, in tons per year. 

POLLUTANT TONS PER YEAR 

PM/PMI0 78.1 

CO 93.61 

VOC 89.81 

This facility is subject to the applicable provisions of the Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations as promulgated by U.S. EPA (40 

CFR 52 21) and the Ohio EPA permit to install requirements (OAC 3745-31). 

The maximum ambient increment allowed by U.S. EPA for PMI0 on an annual 

average is 17 Dg/m 3 and on a 24-hour average is 30 •g/m 3. The Ohio EPA 

allows PSD sources to consume less than one half the available increment. 

This facility has demonstrated t•hat the impact from the new sources is less 

than the PSD slgnif.icant impact increments of 1 zg/m 3 on an annual basis and 

5 zg/m 3 on a 24-hour basis, therefoge, the impact, is insignificant and 

increment modeling •!s not required. Based on this analysis, the project 

complies •ith the increment requlrements.

Physical changes toor changes in the method of operation of the emissions unit after its installation 

or modification could affect the parameters used to determine whether or not the "Air Toxic Policy" 

is satisfied. Consequently,. prior to making a change if/at could impact such parameters, the 

permittee shall conduct an evaluation to determine that the "Air Toxic Policy" will still be still 

satisfied. If, upon evaluation, the permit-tee determines that the "Air Toxic Policy" will not be 

satisfied, the permittee will not make the change. Changes that can affect the parameters used in 

applying the "Air Toxic Policy" include the following: 

ao changes in the composition of the materials used (typically for coatings or cleanup 

materials), or the use of new materials, that would result in the emission of a compound with

handbook entitled "American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)," 

than the lowest TLV value previously modeled; 

changes in the composition of the materials, or use of new materials, that would result in an 

increase in emissions of any pollutant with a listed TLV that was proposed in the application 

and modeled; and 

Co physical changes to the emissions unit or its exhaust .parameters (e.g., increased/decreased 

exhaust flow, changes in stack height, changes in stack diameter, etc.). 

If the permittee determines that the "Air Toxic PoliCy" will be satisfied for the above changes, the 

Ohio EPA will not consider the change(s) to be a "modification". under OAC rule 3745-31- 

01(VV)(1)(a)(ii), and a modification of the existing permit to install will not be required. If the 

change(s) is (are) defmed as a modification under other provisions of the modification definition 

(other than (VV)(1)(a)(ii)), then the permittee shall obtain a final permit to install prior to the 

change. 

The permittee shall collect, record, and retain the following information when it conducts 

evaluations to determine that the changed emissions unit will still, satisfy the "Air Toxic Policy:" 

a description of the parameters changed (composition of materials, new pollutants emitted, 

.change in Stack/exhaust parameters, etc..); 

bo documentation of its evaluation and determination that the changed emissions unit still 

satisfies the "Air Toxic Policy"; and 

where computer modeling is performed, a copy of the resulting computer model runs that 

show the results of the application of the "Air Toxic Policy" for the change. 

Construction and operation of the air p011utibn sour.ces associated with this permit cannot commence
