This report was submitted as a result of the 2008 NOx/SO2 Boiler Control Retrofit and Increased Wood/Biomass Firing Project. In that report, the CO, S02 and PM actual emissions were significantly higher than projected emissions contained in the original permit application, 1000067.08B. This resulted in DAQ reviewing the calculations contained in the original application and utilized by the facility to justify the avoidance of submitting a PSD application. As a result of this review, DAQ has determined that your facility's emissions are greater than the projected actual emissions originally submitted. The DAQ found that the PSD threshold levels for both PM and CO were exceeded and a PSD application should have been submitted for the 2008 project. This letter is intended to formally notify you that Capital Power Corporation North Carolina- Southport Plant is in violation of 15A NCAC 2D .0530 and 40 CFR 50.166 for failure to submit a Prevention of Significant Deterioration permit application for the Boiler NOx/SO2 Control Retrofit and Increased Wood/Biomass Firing Project.
