2.O Plant'and Sampling Location Descriptions
2.L Process Description, Operation, and Control
Equipment
The Lake Side Power Plant comprises four combined-cycle combustion turbines designated
CTG11, CTG12, CTG21 and CTG22,
2.2 Flue Gas Sampling Locations
Actual stack measurements, number of traverse points, and location of traverse points will
be evaluated in the field as part of the test program. Table 2-1 presents the anticipated
stack measurements and traverse points for the sampling locations listed.
Table 2-1
Sampling Locations
Sample locations are verified in the field to conform to EPA Method 1.
Prior to commencing pollutant gas MTAs, gas stratification testing will be performed across
a grid of 12 points determined using EPA Method 1 in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60,
Appendix B, PS2 58.1.3.2 and 40 CFR Part 75, AppendixA, $6.5.6.1. Stratification testing
will be performed fortwo minutes pertraverse point in accordance with 40 CFR Part75,
Appendix A, 56.5.6.1(c). If diluent (Oz) and pollutant (NOx) concentrations are within 5o/o of
their mean concentrations, subsequent gas RATA testing will be performed at a single point
in the stack as allowed by 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, PS2 58.1.3.23 and 40 CFR Part 75,
Appendix A 56.5.6.3(b). If diluent and pollutant concentrations are within 10o/o of their
mean concentrations, MTA testing will be performed at three points located 0.4 meter, 1.0
3 PS2 prescribes a minimum of three sampling points, but states that "Other traverse points may be
selected, provided that they can be shown to the satisfaction of the Administrator to provide a
representative sample over the stack or duct cross section." Accordingly, if 40 CFR Part 75. Aooendix
A 66.5.6.3(b) allows MTA testing at a single traverse point, single-point testing can be assumed to
"provide a representative sample" for the purposes of 40 CFR Part 60. Aooendix B, Performance

3.O Sampling and Analytical Procedures
3.1 Test Methods
The test methods for this test program have been presented in Table 1-1. Additional
information regarding specific applications or modifications to standard procedures is
presented below.
3.1.1 EPA Method 1, Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary
Sources
EPA Method 1 is used to assure that representative samples or measurements of volumetric
flow rate are obtained by dlviding the cross-sectlon of the stack or duct into equal areas,
and then locating a traverse point within each of the equal areas. Acceptable sample
locations must be located at least two stack or duct equivalent diameters downstream from
a flow disturbance and ohe-half equivalent diameter upstream from a flow disturbance.
3.1.2 EPA Method 2, Determination of Gas Velocity and Volumetric
Flow Rate (Type S Pitot Tube)
EPA Method 2 is used to measure the gas velocity using an S-type pitot tube connected to a
pressure measurement device, and to measure the gas temperature using a calibrated
thermocouple connected to a thermocouple indicator. Typically, Type S (Stausscheibe) pitot
tubes conforming to the geometric specifications in the test method are used, along with an
inclined manometer. The measurements are made at traverse points specified by EPA
Method 1. The molecular weight of the gas stream is determined from independent
measurements of Oz, COz, and moisture. The stack gas volumetric flow rate is calculated
using the measured average velocity head, the area of the duct at the measurement plane,
the ineasured average temperature, the measured duct statlc pressure, the molecular
weight of the gas stream, and the measured moisture.
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-1, as part of the EPA Method 2OLN2O?
sampling train.

3.1.3 EPA Methods 3A,7Et and 10, Determination of Oxygen,' Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, and Carbon Monoxide
Concentrations in Emissions from Stationary Sources
(Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)
Concentrations of Oz, COz, NOx, and CO are measured simultaneously using EPA Methods
34, 7E, and 10, which are instrumental test methods. Conditioned gas is sent to a series of
analyzers to measure the gaseous emission concentrations. The performance requirements
of the method must be met to validate the data.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
o A dry extractlve sampling system is used to report emissions on a dry
basis
o A paramagnetic analyzer is used to measure Oz

3.1.4 EPA Method 4, Determination of Moisture Content in Stack
Gas
EPA Method 4 is a manual method used to measure the moisture content of gas streams.
Gas is sampled through a probe and impinger train. Moisture is removed using a series of
pre-weighed impingers containing methodology-specific liquids and silica gel immersed in an
ice water bath. The impingers are weighed after each run to determine the percent
moisture.

Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
o Moisture sampling is performed as paft of the pollutant (Method
?OLA/ 2O2) sa m ple tra ins
o Since it is theoretically impossible for measured moisture to be higher
than psychrometric moisture, the psychrometric moisture is also
calculated, and the lower moisture value is used in the calculations
o Minimum Required Sample Volume: 21 scf
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-1, as part of the EPA Method 2OLA|202
sampling train.
3.1.5 EPA Method 2O1A, Determination of PMro and PMz.s Emissions
from Stationary Sources (Constant Sampling Rate Procedure)
To measure PMro and PMz.s, extract a sample of gas at a predetermined constant flow rate
through an in-stack sizing device. The particle-sizing device separates particles with nominal
aerodynamic diameters of 10 micrometers and 2.5 micrometers. To minimize variations in
the isokinetic sampling conditions, you must establish well-defined limits. After a sample is
obtained, remove uncombined water from the particulate, then use gravimetric analysis to
determine the particulate mass for each size fraction. The original method, as promulgated
in 1990, has been changed by adding a PMz.s cyclone downstream of the PMro cyclone. Both
cyclones were developed and evaluated as part of a conventional five-stage cascade cyclone
train. The addition of a PMz.s cyclone between the PMro cyclone and the stack temperature
filter in the sampling train supplements the measurement of PMro with the measurement of
PMz.s.
Without the addition of the PMz.s cyclone, the filterable particulate portion of the sampling
train may be used to measure total and PltLo emissions. Likewise, with the exclusion of the
PMro cyclone, the filterable particulate portion of the sampling train may be used to measure
total and PMz.s emissions.
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-1.
3.1.6 EPA Method 2O2, Dry Impinger Method for Determining
Condensable Particulate Emissions from Stationary Sources
The CPM is collected in dry impingers after filterable PM has been collected on a filter
maintained as specified in Method 2014 of Appendix M to 40 CFR 51. The organic and
aqueous fractions of the impingers and an out-of-stack CPM filter are then taken to dryness
and weighed. The total of the impinger fractions and the CPM filter represents the CPM.
Compared to the version of Method 202 that was promulgated on December L7, 1991, this
method eliminates the use of water as the collection media in impingers and includes the
addition of a condenser followed by a water dropout impinger immediately after the final in-
stack or heated filter. This method also includes the addition of one modified Greenburg
Smith impinger (backup impinger) and a CPM filter following the water dropout impinger.
GP043AS-039920-PP-839 Page 17 of 50
CPM is collected in the water dropout impinger, the modified Greenburg Smith impinger,
and the CPM filter of the sampling train as described in this method. The impinger contents
are purged with nitrogen immediately after sample collection to remove dissolved SOz gases
from the impinger. The CPM filter is extracted with water and hexane. The impinger solution
is then extracted with hexane. The organic and aqueous fractions are dried and the residues
are weighed. The total of the aqueous and organic fractions represents the CPM.
The potential artifacts from SOz are reduced using a condenser and water dropout impinger
to separate CPM from reactive gases. No water is added to the impingers prior to the start
of sampling. To improve the collection efficiency of CPM, an additional filter (the "CPM
filter) is placed between the second and third impingers.
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-1.
3.1.7 EPA Method 25A, Determination of Total Gaseous Organic
Concentration Using a Flame Ionization Analyzer
EPA Method 25A is an instrumental test method used to measure the concentration of THC
in stack gas. A gas sample is extracted from the source through a heated sample line and
glass fiber filter to an FIA. Results are repofted as volume concentration equivalents of the
calibration gas or as carbon equivalents.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
. Method Options:
o The integrated Tedlar bag sampling procedure from EPA Method 18 will be
used to collect the VOC samples. Analysis will be performed on-site.
. Method Exceptions' i i
o For gaseous emissions sampling, MDL are calculated for each analyzer.
The ISDL is equal to the sensitivity of the instrumentation, which is 2o/o of
the span value.
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-3.

4.O Quality Assurance and Reporting
4.L QA Audits
Montrose has instituted a rigorous QA/QC program for its air quality testing. Quality
assurance audits are performed as part of the test program to ensure that the results are
calculated using the highest quality data available. This program ensures that the emissions
data we report are as accurate as possible. The procedures included in the cited reference
methods are followed during preparation, sampling, calibration, and analysis. Montrose is
responsible for preparation, calibration, and cleaning of the sampling apparatus. Montrose
will also perform the sampling, sample recovery, storage, and shipping. Approved contract
laboratories may perform some of the preparation and sample analyses, as needed.
4.2 Quality Control Procedures
Montrose calibrates and maintains equipment as required by the methods performed and
applicable regulatory guidance. Montrose follows internal procedures to prevent the use of
malfunctioning or inoperable equipment in test programs. All equipment is operated by
trained personnel. Any incidence of nonconforming work encountered during testing is
reported and addressed through the corrective action system.
4.2.1 Equipment tnspection and Maintenance
Each piece of field equipment that requires calibration is assigned a unique identification
number to allow tracking of its calibration history. All field equipment is visually inspected
prior to testing and includes pre-test calibration checks as required by the test method or
regulatory agency.
4.2.2 Audit Samy'les
When required by the test method and available, Montrose obtains EPA TNI SSAS audit
samples from an accredited provider for analysis along with the samples. Currently, the
SSAS program has been suspended pendlng the availability of a second accredited audit
sample provider. If the program is reinstated, the audit samples will be ordered. If required
as part of the test program, the audit samples are stored, shipped, and analyzed along with
the emissions samples collected during the test program. The audit sample results are
reported along with the emissions sample results.
4.3 Data Analysis and Validation
Montrose converts the raw field, laboratory, and process data to reporting units consistent
with the permit or subpart. Calculations are made using proprietary computer spreadsheets
or data acquisition systems. One run of each test method is also verified using a separate
example calculation. The example calculations are checked against the spreadsheet results
and are included in the final report. The "Standard Conditions" for this project are 29.92
inches of mercury and 68 oF.
GP043AS-039920-PP-839 Page 20 of 50
4.4 Sample Identification and Custody
The on-site Field Project Manager will assume or assign the role of sample and data
custodian until relinquishing custody. The sample custodian will follow proper custody
procedures before departing from the test site including:
o Assign the unique sample identification number to each sample
. Attach sample labels and integrity seals to all samples
. Complete COC form(s), ensuring that the sample identification numbers on
the samples match the sample identlfication numbers on the COC
. Pack and store samples ln accordance with the test method requirements in
appropriate transport containers for protection from breakage, contamination,
or loss
. Keep samples in a secure locked area if not in the direct presence of Montrose
staff
The sample custodian will follow proper custody procedures upon arriving at the Montrose
office including:
. Remove samples and COC documents from vehicles and check into
designated secure sample holding areas
. Store samples requiring additional measures such as refrigeration or dry ice
appropriately
4.5 Quality Statement
Montrose is qualified to conduct this test program and has established a qpality
management sySJem that led to accreditation with ASTM Standard D7O36|O4 (Standard
Practice for Competence of Air Emission Testing Bodies). Montrose participates in annual
functional assessments for conformance with D7036-04 which are conducted by the
American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2l-A). All testing performed by Montrose
is supervised on site by at least one Qualified Individual (QI) as defined in D7036-04
Section 8.3.2. Data quality obJectives for estimating measurement uncertalnty within the
documented limits in the test methods are met by using approved test protocols for each
proiect as defined in D7036-04 Sections 7.2.1and 12.10. Additional quality assurance
information is included in the appendices. The content of this test plan is modeled after the
EPA Emission Measurement Center Guideline Document (GD-042).
4.6 Reporting
Montrose will prepare a final report to present the test data, calculations/equations,
descriptions, and results. Prior to release by Montrose, each repoft is reviewed and certified
by the project manager and their supervisor, or a peer. Source test reports will be
submitted to the facility or appropriate regulatory agency (upon customer approval) within
30 days of the completion of the field work. The report will include a series of appendices to
GP043AS-039920-PP-839 Page 21 of 50

Site Safety Plan and JHA Purpose and lnstructions
Purpose
Employee safety is the top priority of Montrose Environmental Group. Allemployees must be
trained to assess and mitigate hazards. The District Manager and Project Manager are
responsible to ensure all hazards have been properly identified and managed. All employees
have Stop Work Authority in all situations where an employee feels they or their co-worker
cannot perform a job safely or if there is a task for which they have not been adequately trained.
The Site Safety Plan (SSP) has been developed to help assist Montrose test crews with
identifying physical and health hazards and determining how the hazards witl be managed.
Additionally, the SSP will help each crew manage the safety of the employees by providing
emergency procedures and information. The booklet contains a several safety forms that may
be required in the field.
lnstructions
The SSP consists of the following:
1. A Pre-Mobilization Test Plan - To be completed in it's entirety by the client project Manager
prior to the test.
2. A Job Hazard Analysis is a standardized, two-page, fillable form that is used to evaluated the
tasUsite's particular hazards and controls. The form also includes a daily toolbox topic and
daily hazard review with sign off by the team. The client Project Manager is responsible to
complete the JHA form through section 8. Upon arrival at the test site, the team will review the
form for accuracy, making any corrections required and complete the remainder of the JHA.
Section 9 will require at least three tasks, hazards and controls be identified for the project.
Each team member has the option to discuss making changes or adding to the JHA and must
sign on the Job Hazard Analysis form in agreement and sign in Section 10. The JHA is to be
modified when conditions change. ;A toolbox meeting with a daily topic in addition to a review;of
the hazard analysis is required dailil for the duration of the test. An additional sheet of paper !
with the toolbox topic and signatures can be added to the SSP packet.
3. Hazard Control Matrix - contains useful information on both engineering and
administrative controls that a crew can use to reduce or eliminate the hazards they have
observed plus applicable PPE that may be required.
4. Emergency Action Plan - The Job Supervisor/ Client Project Manager (CPM) will complete
the Emergency Action Plan form and ensure that all employees are familiar with the facility
emergency and evacuation procedures, assemblyl rally points, alert systems, and signals prior
to work commencing. ln the event of an emergency situation/ evacuation, the Job Supervisor/
CPM will maintain a roster and be responsible for accounting for all employees. The Job
Supervisor/ CPM will ensure that this Emergency Action Plan Form is completed,
communicated to allemployees, signed, and posted.
5. Additional Forms, as applicable

Site Safety Plan and JHA Purpose and lnstructions
The SSP is a living document. The Project Manager should continually update their SSPs as
new information and conditions change or if new hazards are presented.
Each completed SSP should be maintained with the Test Plan in the office for a period of 3
years. There will be an audit process developed for the Site Safety Plans.
