OPERATING STATUS: Millcreek Power Station (Turbines 1 and 2) – (Not operating)
Red Rock Power Station – On Hot Standby (Not operating)
Bloomington Power Station – (Not Operating)
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: St. George City Power operates two diesel powered and two natural gas
turbine co-generation facilities in St. George. Electricity demands
fluctuate from day to day, and from hour to hour. The St. George
co-generation facilities are used to supply power to the main power grid
during periods of excess power use by the consumers (Peaker Plant).
When power demands are higher than can be accommodated, by the grid,
the engines are brought to 24-hour standby and operated until electricity
consumption is brought back to normal. The diesel engines use low
sulfur diesel fuel that is stored in on-site tanks. Low sulfur diesel fuel is
used in these engines to minimize sulfur dioxide emissions. The natural
gas turbines have operating parameters, which are monitored to ensure
efficient use.

[DAQE -AN108920018-18]. [40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK, R307-401-8]
II.B.5.b.1 Monitoring:
(a) The permittee should install, certify, maintain, operate, and quality-assure a continuous
emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) to determine compliance with the applicable NOx
limitations as specified below:
30
(1) Each NOx and diluent CEMS must be installed and certified according to Performance
Specification 2 (PS 2) in appendix B of 40 CFR 60, except the 7-day calibration drift is based on
unit operating days, not calendar days. Procedure 1 in appendix F of 40 CFR 60 is not required.
Alternatively, a NOx diluent CEMS that is installed and certified according to appendix A of 40
CFR 75 should be acceptable for use. The relative accuracy test audit (RATA) of the CEMS shall
be performed on a lb/MMBtu basis.
(2) As specified in 40 CFR 60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hours, both the NOx
monitor and the diluent monitor must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling,
analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the hour. For partial unit operating
hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor for each quadrant of the
hour in which the unit operates. For unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and
maintenance activities are performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in
each of two quadrants) are required for each monitor to validate the NOx emission rate for the
hour.
(3) Each fuel flowmeter shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, fuel flowmeters that meet the installation, certification,
and quality assurance requirements of appendix D of 40 CFR 75 should be acceptable for use.
(4) Each watt meter, steam flow meter, and each pressure or temperature measurement device
shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's instructions.
(5) The permittee shall develop and keep on-site quality assurance (QA) plan for all of the
continuous monitoring equipment described in paragraphs above. For the CEMS and fuel flow
meters, the permittee may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by implementing the QA
program and plan described in section 1 of appendix B to 40 CFR Part 75.
(6) For purposes of identifying excess emissions, CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages
as specified in 40 CFR 60.13(h).
(i) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in paragraph (a)(2)
of this section, is obtained for both NOx and diluent, the data acquisition and handling system
must calculate and record the hourly NOx emission rate in units of lb/MMBtu, using the
appropriate equation from method 19 in appendix A of 40 CFR 60. For any hour in which the
hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2, a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2
or 1.0 percent CO2 (as applicable) may be used in the emission calculation.
(ii) Correction of measured NOx concentrations to 15 percent O2 should not be allowed.
(iii) If the permittee has installed a NOx CEMS to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, only
quality assured data from EMMS should be bused to identify excess emission. Periods where the
missing data substitution procedures in subpart D of 40 CFR 75 are applied should be reported as
monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required under 40
CFR60.7(c).
(iv) All required fuel flow rate, temperature, pressure, and megawatt data should be reduced to
hourly average. The calculated hourly average emission rates should be used to assess excess
emissions on a 4-hour rolling average basis.
(b) Each continuous emission monitoring system shall meet the Specifications and Test
Procedures required by 40 CFR Part 75, Appendix A.
31
(c) The permittee shall implement Quality Assurance and Quality Control Procedures required by
40 CFR Part 75, Appendix B.
(d) The quality assurance requirements of R307-170, Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems
Program, shall be used in addition to 40 CFR Part 75 procedures to fulfill data quality assurance
requirements.
(e) The permittee should calculate the 30-day rolling average be by averaging all hourly emission
data obtained from previous 30 days on a daily basis.
II.B.5.b.2 Recordkeeping:
Results of NOx monitoring shall be recorded and maintained as required in R307-170, 40 CFR 60
subpart KKKK, 40 CFR 75 subpart F, and as described in Provision I.S.1 of this permit.
II.B.5.b.3 Reporting:
(a) The permittee shall comply with the reporting provisions in R307-170-9, 40 CFR 75 Subpart
G, 40 CFR Subpart KKKK and all the reporting provisions contained in Section I of this permit.
(b) The permittee shall submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime, in accordance
with 40 CFR 60.7(c). Excess emissions shall be reported for all periods of unit operation,
including startup, shutdown and malfunction. For the purpose of reports required under 40 CFR
60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that shall be reported are defined as
follows:
(1) An hour of excess emissions shall be any unit operating period in which the 4-hour or 30-day
rolling average NOx concentration exceeds applicable NSPS emission standard of 25 ppm (15%
O2) or 1.2 lb/MWh. A "4-hour rolling average NOx emission rate'' is the arithmetic average of the
average NOx emission rate in ppm or lb/MWH measured by the CEMS for a given hour and the
three unit operating hour average NOx emission rates immediately preceding that unit operating
hour. The permittee should calculate the rolling average if a valid NOx emission rate is obtained
for at least 3 of the 4 hours. A "30-day rolling average NOx emission rate'' is the arithmetic
average of all hourly NOx emission data in ppm or lb/MWh measured by the CEMS for a given
day and the twenty-nine unit operating days average NOx emission rates immediately preceding
that unit operating day. A new 30-day average is calculated each unit operating day as the
average of all hourly NOx emissions rates for the preceding 30 unit operating days if a valid NOx
emission rate is obtained for at least 75 percent of all operating hours.
(2) A period of monitor downtime shall be any unit operating hour in which the data for any of
the following parameters are either missing or invalid: NOx concentration, CO2 or O2
concentration, fuel flow rate, or megawatts.
(3) For operating periods during which multiple emissions standards apply, the applicable
standard is the average of the applicable standards during each hour. For hours with multiple
emissions standards, the applicable limit for that hour is determined based on the condition that
corresponded to the highest emissions standard.
32
(4) All reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime shall be postmarked by the 30th day
following the end of each calendar quarter.
(c) The quarterly reports required in R307-170-9 and 40 CFR 75 Subpart G are considered
prompt notification of permit deviations required in Provision I.S.2.c of this permit if all
information required by Provision I.S.2.c is included in the report.

The emission of CO shall be monitored by continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS). The
permittee shall calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS as required by R307-170 to determine
compliance with CO concentration (ppmv) and CO mass emission rate (lb/hr). The emission rate
(lb/hr) shall be calculated by multiplying the CO concentration and the volumetric flow rate and
any necessary conversion factors determined by the Director to give the results in the specified
units of the emission limitation. The CO concentration shall be determined from data generated
by the CEMS. The quality assurance requirements of R307-170, Continuous Emission
Monitoring Systems Program shall be used to fulfill data quality assurance requirements.
