MAILING ADDRESS: 1359 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84116 SOURCE CONTACTS: Leah Tiberius, Environmental Analyst: Office: 801-220-7708 Cell: 801-455-6715 leah.tiberius@pacificorp.com Dale Sherwood, Operations Manager: Office: (801) 220-7750 Dale.sherwood@pacificorp.com Joshua Sewell, Senior Engineer: Office: (801) 220-2010 joshua.sewell@pacificorp.com OPERATING STATUS: Emission Units (EUs) #1, #2, and #3 were operating at time of the inspection. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: PacifiCorp Gadsby Power Plant: The electricity-generating plant consists of three natural-gas-fired steam-generating units and three natural-gas-fired simple cycle combustion turbines. Unit #1 was constructed in 1951. Unit #2 was operational in 1952. Unit #3 was operational in 1955. The three natural-gas-fired steam generating units were converted from coal-fired to natural-gas-fired in the 1990s. Three 43.5 MW LM 6000 natural gas-fueled simple cycle gas turbine engines were added in 2002. The operation of the Gadsby Plant is to produce electricity for sale via the utility power distribution system and to service electrical demands of 2 the Wasatch Front. The fuel systems consist of the natural gas delivery system and the fuel oil system. Natural gas is the primary fuel for the steam generating units and is the sole fuel for the combustion turbines. Fuel oil combustion is limited to natural gas curtailment periods and maintenance firings between April 1 and November 30 of any calendar year. Natural gas enters the plant through a metering station. A five hundred gallon storage tank is used for diesel-fired equipment. Fuel oil may also be supplied to the steam generators from trucks or railcars on an as-needed basis. Steam Generating Units: Natural gas is combusted in each of the steam generating boilers. Units #1, #2, and #3 are equipped with low NOx burners. The steam generation process is the primary source of emissions at this plant. Heat generated from the combustion process is transferred to water that flows through boiler tubes in the walls of the furnaces. Sufficient heat is generated during the combustion process to produce a quality of steam suitable for use in the steam turbines. Emissions are generated during the combustion process. The flue gas exits each furnace and flows through an induced draft fan. The fan discharges the flue gas up the 300 foot stack. Simple Cycle Combustion Gas Turbines: Ambient air is ingested and compressed in the compressor section of the turbine engines. Natural gas is injected into the compressed air and ignited, with combustion and expansion occurring in the turbine section of each engine. Mechanical energy produced by the combustion process is used to drive an electric generator connected to the turbine via a common shaft. Pollutants are generated during the combustion process. The turbine exhaust combustion gas exits the engines and flows through a CO catalyst, then through a SCR catalyst used for NOx emissions control, and finally through an exhaust stack prior to discharge to the atmosphere.

[DAQE-AN103550015-09]. [40 CFR 60 Subpart GG, R307-110-17(SIP IX.H.2.j.v.A), R307-401-8(1)(a)(BACT)] II.B.8.b.1 Monitoring: (a) The permittee should install, certify, maintain, operate, and quality-assure a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) consisting of NOx and O2 monitors to determine compliance with the applicable NOx limitations. The CEMS shall be installed, certified, maintained and operated as follows: (1) Each CEMS must be installed and certified according to PS 2 and 3 (for diluent) of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, except the 7-day calibration drift is based on unit operating days, not calendar days. Appendix F, Procedure 1 is not required. The relative accuracy test audit (RATA) of the NOx and diluent monitors may be performed individually or on a combined basis, i.e., the relative accuracy tests of the CEMS may be performed either (i) On a ppm basis (for NOx) and a percent O2 basis for oxygen; or (ii) On a ppm at 15 percent O2 basis. (2) As specified in 40 CFR 60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hour, each monitor must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the hour, to validate the hour. For partial unit operating hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained for each quadrant of the hour 28 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 to validate the hour. (3) 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 emissions in the units of percent NOx by volume, dry basis, corrected to 15 percent O2 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard conditions (if required as given in 40 CFR 60.335(b)(1)). For any hour in which the hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2, a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2 may be used in the emission calculations. (ii) A worst case ISO correction factor may be calculated and applied using historical ambient data. For the purpose of this calculation, substitute the maximum humidity of ambient air (Ho), minimum ambient temperature (Ta), and minimum combustor inlet absolute pressure (Po) into the ISO correction equation. (iii) If the permittee has installed a NOx CEMS to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, and is continuing to meet the ongoing requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, the CEMS may be used to meet the requirements of this section, except that the missing data substitution methodology provided for at 40 CFR Part 75, subpart D, is not required for purposes of identifying excess emissions. Instead, periods of missing CEMS data are to be reported as monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required in Sec. 60.7(c). (b) Each continuous emission monitoring system shall meet the Specifications and Test Procedures required by 40 CFR Part 75, Appendix A. (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 daily average of NOx emissions shall be calculated once for each day (a period of 24-hours commencing at midnight and ending at the following midnight) and the 30-day rolling average shall be calculated by adding previous 30 days data on a daily basis. II.B.8.b.2 Recordkeeping: Results of NOx monitoring shall be recorded and maintained as required in R307-170, 40 CFR 60 subpart GG, 40 CFR 75 subpart F, and as described in Provision I.S.1 of this permit. 29 II.B.8.b.3 Reporting: (a) The permittee shall comply with the reporting provisions in R307-170-9, 40 CFR 75 Subpart G, 40 CFR Subpart GG 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 hour in which the 4-hour rolling average NOx concentration exceeds applicable NSPS emission standard of 116 ppmdv (15% O2, dry). A ``4-hour rolling average NOx concentration'' is the arithmetic average of the average NOx concentration measured by the CEMS for a given hour (corrected to 15 percent O2 and, if required under 40 CFR 60.335(b)(1), to ISO standard conditions) and the three unit operating hour average NOx concentrations immediately preceding that unit operating hour. (2) A period of monitor downtime shall be any unit operating hour in which sufficient data are not obtained to validate the hour, for either NOx concentration or diluent (or both). (3) Each report shall include the ambient conditions (temperature, pressure, and humidity) at the time of the excess emission period. The ambient conditions is not required if the permittee opt to use the worst case ISO correction factor as specified in 40 CFR 60.334(b)(3)(ii). (4) All reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime shall be postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar quarter.
