SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 3, 2007 Continued from previous page a renewal of the Oregon Title V Operating Permit issued to Frontier Energy, LLC on May 2, 2001 and was scheduled to expire on July 1, 2006. On September 23, 2002 the name of the permittee was changed to Port o f Morrow. A timely and complete renewal appli cation was submitted to the Departm ent so the current permit will remain in effect until the permit renewal is is sued. All of the wood products operations (sawmill, planing mill, and lumber dry kilns) have been discontinued in the previous permit renewal. The permit was reissued to allow operation of the cogeneration boiler that will produce ap proximately 10 mega watts of electricity. Hogged fuel is delivered by truck and dumped into a storage pile using a truck tipper. The fuel is stacked and then conveyed to the boiler where it is burned to produce steam that feeds a turbine and electric generator. The proposed Plant Site Emission Limit (PSEL) for Particulate (PM) is slightly low er than the previous PSEL for PM. The reduction in PM is due to a cor rection of the emission calcula tion. The proposed PSEL for NOX is slightly lower than the previous PSEL for NOX. The reduction in NOX is due to the use of an emission factor from the November 2003 source test rather than the generic DEQ emission factor. The proposed PSEL is higher than the previ ous PSEL for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The in crease in VOC emissions is due to replacement of a generic DEQ emission factor with a factor derived from the No vember 2003 testing and does not represent an actual increase in emissions. The PSEL for Sulfur Dioxide (S02) is being increased to the Generic PSEL level in accordance w ith OAR 340-222-0041. This facility may be a major source of haz ardous air pollutants (HAP) since emissions of a single HAP (hydrogen chloride) are greater than 10 tons/yr and emissions of combined HAPs are greater than 25 tons/yr. Since the generic emissions factors (AP-42) were used to determine HAP emissions, site-specific testing will be required to confirm the facil ity is a major source of HAP emissions. Testing will be done specifically for hydrogen chloride since it is the major HAP. As a major HAP source, the facility could potentially be subject to the National Emis sion Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for boilers. Synthetic minor requirements will be placed in the permit to keep permitted emissions below the major HAP level. The PSEL will include a limit on hydrogen chloride and combined HAP emissions to implement the synthetic minor conditions. With these limits in place, the source is not subject to the NE SHAP for boilers. The facility is located in an area designated in attainment for all criteria pollutants and the facility is a major source of the follow ing criteria pollutants: Particulate Matter, Fine Particulate Mat ter, Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, and Volatile Organic Compounds. The facility is minor source of Sulfur Dioxide emissions. More information on this facility’s emission of air pollutants is contained in the draft permit review report. The application, draft permit, review report, and relevant information are available for public review, by appointment, at DEQ’s Eastern Region, Bend Office, 300 SE Reed Market Road, Bend, Oregon, by call ing (541) 388-6146 as well as DEQ's Eastern Region, Pend leton Office, 700 NE Emigrant Avenue, Pendleton Oregon, by calling (541) 276-4063.
