were stack tested on May 9-10, 2024, and the results of the tests were accepted. The results
did not exceed any limits for VOC, NOx, and CO for either generator. The emission rates
for the two 4.0 MW generators are as follows from the most recent stack test:
Unit #4: 0.013 g/bhp-hr NOx, 0.011 g/bhp-hr CO, 0.084 g/bhp-hr VOC
