Section 1.0 - Unit I Report Summary
Huntington Power Plant, 8 miles west of Huntington Utah on Hwy 3l
P.O. Box 680
Huntington, Utah 84528
Identification of eachhazardous air pollutant monitored at the affected source
I. Non-Mercury HAPS metals using a quarterly filterable particulate matter (PM) stack
test as a surrogate to demonstrate compliance. On April 3,2018 the Utah Department
of Environmental Quality - Division of Air Quality agreed that the Huntington Plant
Unit I met the requirements to quali[ as a low emitting EGU (LEE) unit. The
Huntington Plant submitted a summary table showing three years of quarterly test data.
Each particulate matter (PM) testing result was below one-half of the 0.030 lb/MMBtu
limit or 0.015 lbA4MBtu as required by the subpart.
II. Acid gases using sulfur dioxide (SOz) as a surrogate to demonstrate compliance by an
SOz continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS).
III. Mercury (Hg), compliance demonstrated by an annual EPA Method 30B sorbent trap
test to re-confirm LEE status.
A brief description of the process unit
I. Huntington Unit I is an Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit, designed as a bottom
tangentially-fired boiler, designed by Babcock and Wilcox.
i. Rated Heat Input Capacity of 4,960 MMBtu/hr.
ii. The unit is equipped with the following add-on controls:
L Pulse Jet Fabric Filter (baghouse)
2. Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (wet scrubber)
3. Low-NOx burner technology, with separated over-fire air
iii. Fuels used are sub-bituminous coal using #2 fuel oil for startup fuel when
needed.
II. Unit Category
i. Unit I is an existing coal-fired unit combusting non-low rank virgin coal
demonstrating compliance with the emission limits found in Table 2 to Subpart
UUUUU of Part 63
III. The emission and operating parameter limitationsi. Filterable PM quarterly stack testing demonstrating compliance with a 0.030
lbiMMBtu emission limit. The unit has demonstrated and achieved low
emitting EGU (LEE) status.
ii. SOz CEMS as a surrogate for acid gases reporting hourly averages in units of
lb/l\4MBtu demonstrating compliance with a 30 boiler-operating-day average
limit of 0.20 lb/MMBtu.
iii. Hg annual EPA Method 30B sorbent trap test reporting hourly averages in
units of lb/TBtu demonstrating compliance with a 30 boiler-operating-day
average of 1.2 Ib/TBtu.
A description of any changes in CMS, processes, or controls since the last reporting
period
No changes occurred during the reporting period that would affect compliance to MATS.
