PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The PacifiCorp Huntington Power Plant is a coal-fired steam electric
generating plant consisting of two boilers. Unit #1 is a 480 MW unit
constructed in October 1973; Unit #2 is a 480 MW unit that commenced
construction in April 1970. Bituminous and sub-bituminous coal is the
primary fuel source for the dry bottom, tangentially-fired boilers. Local
mines deliver coal via trucks. A newly installed, real time coal analyzer
continually checks the sulfur content and other constituents for BTU
values in the coal. Coal is combusted in a large furnace (each unit) and
heat is transferred to boiler tubes in the walls of the furnace. Sufficient
heat is generated to produce steam suitable for use in a steam turbine.
The turbine generators convert the steam to mechanical power to drive
0 ( 8
2
the generator for the purpose of producing electricity. Fuel oil is used to
start up the boilers from a cold start and for boiler flame stabilization. To
control emissions, the Huntington Power Plant uses baghouses, flue gas
desulphurization scrubbers (FGD), and low NOX burners for Units #1
and Unit #2. Coal silos are controlled with dust collectors. Perimeter
roads and coal processing are covered by an approved fugitive dust
control plan.

(b) Opacity shall be used as a performance indicator of the baghouse to provide a
reasonable assurance of compliance with the PM emission limitation as specified below:
(1) Measurement Approach: Opacity is measured directly by COMS installed in each
baghouse outlet duct.
(2) Indicator Range:
(A) An excursion is defined as a 24-hour daily average opacity value greater than the
baseline level of 5%. Annually, the permittee should develop a new excursion level
during annual performance test using the modified method under 60.48Da(o)(2)(iii) and
(iv) (NSPS Subpart Da). The new value of the opacity excursion level shall be
determined by averaging all of the 6-minute average opacity values from the COMS
measurements recorded during each of the test run intervals conducted for the
performance test plus 2.5 percent, or a total opacity value of 5.0%, whichever is greater.
(B) Excursions trigger a baghouse inspection, corrective actions and a reporting
requirement. The permittee must initiate investigation of the relevant equipment and
control systems within 24 hours of the first discovery of the high opacity incident and
take the appropriate corrective action as soon as practicable to adjust control settings or
repair equipment to reduce the measured 24-hour average opacity to a level below the
baseline opacity level. If the measured 24-hour average opacity remains at a level
greater than the opacity baseline level after seven boiler operating days, a new
particulate matter performance test will be conducted to establish a new opacity baseline
value. This new performance test will be conducted within 60 days of the date that the
measured 24-hour average opacity was first determined to exceed the
baseline opacity level unless a waiver is granted by the Director. (40 CFR
60.8Da(o)(2)(iv) and (vi))
(3) Performance Criteria:
(A) Data Representativeness: Measurements made by COMS shall provide a direct
indicator of the baghouse performance. COMS shall be installed and operated in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1 and
R307-170.
(B) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: COMS shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained
to meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1.
(C) Monitoring Frequency: Opacity shall be monitored continuously with opacity values
averaged every minute.
25
(D) Data Collection Procedure: Opacity data shall be recorded and stored electronically.
(E) Averaging Period: Use continuous opacity data to calculate 6-minute averages and
the 6-minute averages to calculate the 24-hour daily average opacity.
II.B.2.c.2 Recordkeeping:
In addition to the recordkeeping requirement described in Provision I.S.1 of this permit,
(a) The permittee shall maintain a file of all stack testing and all other information
required by permit provision I.S.1.
(b) The permittee shall maintain a file of all COMS measurements, including
performance testing measurements, all COMS performance evaluations, all COMS
calibration checks, all COMS adjustments and maintenance, and all other information

corrective actions taken, and any other supporting information required to be maintained
under 40 CFR 64 (such as data used to document the adequacy of monitoring, or records
of monitoring maintenance or corrective actions). Instead of paper records, the permittee
may maintain records on alternative media, such as microfilm, computer files, magnetic
tape disks, or microfiche, provided that the use of such alternative media allows for
expeditious inspection and review, and does not conflict with other applicable
recordkeeping requirements. (40 CFR 64.9(b))
(d) The permittee shall maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of the unit; or any malfunction of the air
pollution control equipment.

(b) Opacity shall be used as a performance indicator of the baghouse to provide a
reasonable assurance of compliance with the PM emission limitation as specified
below:
(1) Measurement Approach: Opacity is measured directly by a COM installed in the
baghouse outlet duct.
(2) Indicator Range:
(A) An excursion is defined as a 24-hour daily average opacity value greater than the
baseline level of 5%. Annually, the permittee should develop a new excursion level
during annual performance test using the modified method under 60.48Da(o)(2)(iii)
and (iv) (NSPS Subpart Da). The new value of the opacity excursion level shall be
determined by averaging all of the 6-minute average opacity values from the COMS
measurements recorded during each of the test run intervals conducted for the
performance test plus 2.5 percent, or a total opacity value of 5.0%, whichever is
greater.
(B) Excursions trigger a baghouse inspection, corrective actions and a reporting
requirement. The permittee must initiate investigation of the relevant equipment and
control systems within 24 hours of the first discovery of the high opacity incident and
take the appropriate corrective action as soon as practicable to adjust control settings
or repair equipment to reduce the measured 24-hour average opacity to a level below
the baseline opacity level. If the measured 24-hour average opacity remains at a level
greater than the opacity baseline level after seven boiler operating days, a new
particulate matter performance test will be conducted to establish a new opacity
baseline value. This new performance test will be conducted within 60 days of the date
that the measured 24-hour average opacity was first determined to exceed the
38
baseline opacity level unless a waiver is granted by the Director. (40 CFR
60.8Da(o)(2)(iv) and (vi))
(3) Performance Criteria:
(A) Data Representativeness: Measurements made by COM shall provide a direct
indicator of the baghouse performance. COM shall be installed and operated in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1 and R307-
170.
(B) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: COM shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained
to meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1.
(C) Monitoring Frequency: Opacity shall be monitored continuously with opacity
values averaged every minute.
(D) Data Collection Procedure: Opacity data shall be recorded and stored
electronically.
(E) Averaging Period: Use continuous opacity data to calculate 6-minute averages and
the 6-minute averages to calculate the 24-hour daily average opacity.
II.B.3.d.2 Recordkeeping:
In addition to the recordkeeping requirement described in Provision I.S.1 of this
permit,
(a) The permittee shall maintain a file of all stack testing and all other information
required by permit provision I.S.1.
(b) The permittee shall maintain a file of all continuous opacity monitor (COM)
