APPEAL OF CAAPP PERMIT

NOW COMES Petitioner, AmerenUE and Raccoon Creek Power

Plant

("Petitioner" or

"Ameren"), pursuant to Section 40.2 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act ("Act") (415

lLCS 5/40.2) and 35 I1I.Adm.Code

§ 105.300

et seq.,

and requests a hearing before the Board to

contest certain conditions contained in the Clean Air Act Pennit Program ("CAAPP") renewal

pennit

1

(the "pennit") issued on March 20, 2009, pursuant to Section 39.5 of the Act (415 lLCS

5/39.5) and attached hereto

as Exhibit 1. 35 III.Adm.Code §§ 105.21O(a) and (b).

See

Exhibit 1.

Pursuant to Section 40.2(a) of the Act and 35 III.Adm.Code §§ 105.302(e), this Petition is timely

filed with the Board.

In support of its Petition to appeal Conditions 3.1.3,4.0, 5.6.2, 5.7.2, 5.9.2, 7.1.3(f)(iv),

7. 1.3 (g), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(b), 7.1.6(f), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(n), 7.1.9(0), 7.1.10(e), 7.1.12(e)(ii),

and 7.2 and its request to stay these Conditions, Petitioner states as follows:

I

Application No. 02100010; I.D. No. 025803AAD

I. BACKGROUND

(35 III.Adm.Code § 105.304(a))

1.

The Raccoon Creek Power Plant ("Raccoon Creek"), Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency ("Agency")

LD. No. 025803AAD is an electric generating station owned and

operated by Ameren. Raccoon Creek Power Plant operates

as a peaking station, generating

electric power when sufficient electric power is not available from other sources. The Raccoon

Creek Power Plant electrical generating units ("EGUs") are combustion turbines and subject to

the CAAPP (415 ILCS 5/39.5). The Raccoon Creek Power Plant

is located at 676 Cypress

Drive, Clay County, Flora, Illinois. Clay County

is attainment for all National Ambient Air

Quality Standards. The Agency issued the permit on March 20, 2009.

II. REOUEST FOR PARTIAL STAY OF THE PERMIT

2.

Historically, the Board has granted partial stays in permit appeals where a

petitioner has so requested.

See, e.g., Midwest Generation, LLC, Will County Generating Station

v. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,

PCB 06-156 (July 20, 2006) (granted stay of the

effectiveness

of contested conditions of a construction permit);

Dynegy Midwest Generation, Inc.

(Vermilion Power Station)

v. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,

PCB 06-194 (October

19, 2006) (granted stay

"of the portions of the permit Dynegy contests");

Dynegy Midwest

Generation, Inc. (Havana Power Station)

v. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,

PCB 07-

115 (October 4, 2007) (same);

Hartford Working Group

v.

Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency,

PCB 05-74 (November 18, 2004) (granted stay

of the effectiveness of Special Condition

2.0 of an air construction permit);

Community Landfill Company and City

of Morris v. Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency,

PCB 01-48 and 01-49 (Consolidated) (October 19, 2000)

(granted stay

of effectiveness of challenged conditions for two permits of two parcels of the

landfill);

Allied Tube

&

Conduit Corp.

v.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,

PCB 96-108

.2.

Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009

---

(December 7, 1995) (granted stay of the effectiveness of Conditions 4(a), 5(a), and 7(a) of an air

permit).

3.

Ameren requests in this instance that the Board exercise its inherent discretionary

authority to grant a partial stay of the CAAPP permit, staying only those conditions or portions

of conditions indicated in Exhibit 2,

i.e.,

Conditions 3.1.3, 4.0, 5.6.2, 5.7.2, 5.9.2, 7.1.3(f)(iv),

7.1.3(g), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(b), 7.1.6(f), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(n), 7.1.9(0), 7.1.10(e), 7.1.12(e)(ii),

and 7.2 during the pendency

of this appeal.

III. ISSUES ON APPEAL

(35111.Adm.Code §§ 105.304(a)

(2)-(4))

Following are the issues that Ameren appeals and seeks a stay for, presented sequentially.

4.

Condition 3.1.3 Insignificant Activities

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is arbitrary and capricious to the extent that

it fails to include all activities that are insignificant based upon their type or character.

Accordingly, this Condition should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

5.

Condition 4.0 Significant Emission Units

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is arbitrary, capricious, and unauthorized

by law to the extent it imposes conditions on sources that are not significant emission units. As

set forth in Condition 3.1.3, the emergency diesel fire pump

is listed as an insignificant activity

under Section 3.1.3 and thus inappropriate for listing in the table in Condition 4.0

as a significant

emission unit. This condition is, therefore, in excess

of the Agency's authority, unauthorized by

law, arbitrary and capricious, and unreasonable. Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted

and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

-3-

---

6.

Condition 5.6.2 Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is arbitrary, capricious, and unauthorized

by law to the extent it imposes an emission limit to ensure that the source

is not a major source of

hazardous air pollutant emissions. As set forth in Condition 5.1.1, the source is not a major

source for hazardous air pollutant emissions and the permit was not issued based on the source

being a major source for hazardous air pollutant emissions. This condition is, therefore, in

excess

of the Agency's authority, unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and

unreasonable. Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted and stayed during the pendency of

this appeal.

7.

Condition 5.7.2 HAP Testing to Verify Minor Source Status

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unnecessary given the fuel and emission

limitations contained within the permit and therefore

is arbitrary, capricious, unauthorized by law

and unreasonable. This Condition requires the source to verify compliance with Condition 5.6.2,

which for the reasons set forth above should be deleted. Accordingly, this Condition should be

deleted and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

8.

Condition 5.9.2 Records for HAP Emissions

Petitioner objects to this Condition because

is it arbitrary, capricious, unauthorized by

law and unreasonable. This Condition requires the source to record emissions to demonstrate

compliance with Condition 5.6.2, which for the reasons set forth above should be deleted.

Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

9.

Condition 7.L3(f)(iv) Startup Provisions

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is arbitrary, capricious, unauthorized by

law and unreasonable. This Condition requires the source to fulfill the reporting requirements

of

-4-

---

Condition 7.1.1O(e), which for the reasons set forth below should be deleted. Accordingly, this

Condition should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

10.

Condition 7 .1.3(g) Malfunction and Breakdown Provisions

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

arbitrary and capricious, to the extent it inappropriately omits and fails to allow for the

exceedance

of hourly limits. Accordingly, this Condition should be modified and stayed during

the pendency

of this appeal.

11.

Condition 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A) Control Requirements and Work Practices

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious. The

permit contains a quarterly inspection requirement

of emission related components that is not

reflective of actual operating conditions. The units do not operate on a regular schedule, thus the

imposed schedule may require inspections on a non-operating unit. Therefore, this Condition

is

arbitrary and capricious, unauthorized by law and unreasonable. Accordingly, this Condition

should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

12.

Condition 7.1.6(b) Hourly Emission Limitations

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

arbitrary and capricious, and vague and ambiguous to the extent it conflicts with the compliance

obligations or compliance methods in the original construction permit, including conditions in

the original construction permit that allow for the exceedance

of hourly limits in Condition 7.1.6.

Accordingly, this Condition should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

13.

Condition 7.1.6(0 Emission Limitations Compliance

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

arbitrary and capricious to the extent it conflicts with or fails to include compliance obligations

-5-

---

and compliance methods in the original construction permit. Accordingly, this Condition should

be modified and stayed during the pendency of this appeal.

14.

Condition 7.1.8(a)(iii) Monitoring Requirements

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

redundant, arbitrary and capricious. The Agency may not require a source to operate a unit when

the unit

is otherwise not operating in order to assess compliance. Accordingly, this Condition

should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

15.

Condition 7.1.9(n) Recordkeeping Requirements - Shutdowns

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

redundant, arbitrary and capricious. The source maintains records

of the date, time and duration

of the shutdown. The additional records required by this Condition are redundant and not

necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, this Condition

should be modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

16.

Condition 7.1.9(0) Recordkeeping Requirements - Start Ups

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

vague, redundant, arbitrary and capricious to the extent it requires the source to maintain records

that go beyond those necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements. This

Condition

is not limited to maintaining records for startups resulting in an opacity exceedance

and requires records that are not necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements.

The requirement that the unit achieve "normal operation" within thirty minutes does not reflect

current operating conditions.

It

is unclear what information must be included when describing

the startup and there

is no basis for requiring the source to provide the Agency with a reason for

the startup. Furthermore, records related to exceedances of limitations during startups should not

-6-

Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009

* * * * * PCB 2009-098 * * * * *

---

be required unless conditions exist which could result in a deviation from the applicable

requirements. Therefore, this Condition

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable, vague, redundant,

arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, this Condition should be modified and stayed during the

pendency

of this appeal.

17.

Condition 7.1.1

DC e) Reporting Startups

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unauthorized by law, redundant,

unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious. Several other Conditions, including 7.1.lO(a) and

7.1.lO(b) require the necessary reporting to ensure compliance with applicable requirements.

The information required by this Condition

is not necessary to ensure compliance with

applicable requirements.

Therefore, this Condition

is unauthorized by law, redundant,

unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted and stayed

during the pendency

of this appeal.

18.

Condition 7.1.12Ce)Cii) Compliance Procedures

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is unauthorized by law, unreasonable,

redundant, arbitrary and capricious to the extent it conflicts with the compliance obligations in

the original construction permit and Condition 7.1.6. According, this Condition should be

modified and stayed during the pendency

of this appeal.

19.

Condition 7.2 Engines

Petitioner objects to this Condition because it

is arbitrary, capricious, and unauthorized

by law to the extent it imposes an emission limit or conditions on sources that are not significant

emission units. For the reasons set forth above, the emergency diesel fire pump

is listed as an

insignificant activity under Section 3.1.3 and thus

is not subject to the conditions and limitations

of "affected diesel engine" under Condition 7.2. This condition is, therefore, in excess of the

-7-

Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009

* * * * * PCB 2009-098 * * * * *

---

Agency's authority, unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and unreasonable.

Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted and stayed during the pendency ofthis appeal.

20.

The Company has met with the Agency and believes the majority,

if not all, of the

above issues and conditions can be resolved. However, any such resolution could not occur

within the time frame required for appeal. So that the parties have sufficient time to resolve

issues and conditions

in

dispute, including if necessary the filing of an amended CAAPP permit

application, Ameren requests that the conditions set forth herein be stayed.

WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, Ameren appeals Conditions 3.1.3, 4.0,

5.6.2, 5.7.2, 5.9.2, 7.1.3(f)(iv), 7.1.3(g), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(b), 7.1.6(f), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(n),

7.1.9(0), 7.1.l0(e), 7.1.l2(e)(ii), and 7.2

of the CAAPP renewal permit issued March 19,2009,

for the Raccoon Creek Power Plant and requests that the Board order the Agency to delete or

modify the conditions

as set forth above. Additionally, Ameren requests that the Board stay

Conditions 3.1.3, 4.0, 5.6.2, 5.7.2, 5.9.2, 7.1.3(f)(iv), 7.1.3(g), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(b), 7.1.6(f),

7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(n), 7.1.9(0), 7.1.10(e), 7.1.12(e)(ii), and 7.2 during the pendency

of this appeal

as set forth in Exhibit 2. Ameren will extend its current practices under the CAAPP permit

replaced by this permit issued March 20, 2009, where the Board stays Conditions appealed

herein and will,

of course, comply with all requirements of the Board's regulations applicable to

Raccoon Creek Power Plant during the pendency

of this appeal.

during each ozone control period from May 1 through

September 30, based on a ozone control period

average, for that unit [35 lAC 217.706(a)].

ii.

Notwithstanding the above emission limitation of 35

lAC 217.706(a), the affected turbine subject to a

more stringent NO

x

emission limitation pursuant to any

State or federal statute, including the Act, the

Clean Air Act, or any regulations promulgated

thereunder, shall comply with both the requirements

of 35 lAC 217 Subpart V and that more stringent

emission limitation [35 lAC 217.706(b)].

f.

Startup Provisions

Subject to the following terms and conditions, the

Permittee is authorized to operate the affected turbines in

violation of the applicable standards in Condition 7.1.3(b)

and the hourly limits of 7.1.6 during startup. This

authorization is provided pursuant to 35 lAC 201.149,

201.161 and 201.262, as the Permittee has applied for such

authorization in its application, generally describing the

efforts that will be used " ... to minimize startup emissions,

duration of individual starts, and frequency of startups.u

i.

This authorization does not relieve the Permittee

from the continuing obligation to demonstrate that

all reasonable efforts are made to -minimize startup

24

---

emissions, duration of individual startups and

frequency of startups.

ii.

The Permittee shall conduct startup of the each

affected turbine(s) in accordance with written

procedures prepared by the Permittee and maintained

at the facility, in the control room for the each

affected turbine(s), that are specifically developed

to minimize emissions from startups and that include,

at a minimum, the following measures:

A.

The Permittee shall conduct startup of an

affected turbine in accordance with the

manufacturer's written instructions or other

written instructions prepared by the source

owner or operator and maintained on site.

B.

The Permittee shall take the following measures

to minimize emissions resulting from startups,

the duration of startups, and minimize the

frequency of startups:

I.

Operating in accordance with the

manufacturer's written operating and

startup procedures, including a pre-check

of the unit, or other written procedures

developed and maintained by the source

owner or operator so as to minimize the

duration of startups and the emissions

associated with startups. These

procedures should allow for review of

operating parameters of the unit during

startup, or shutdown as necessary to make

adjustments to reduce or eliminate excess

emissions.

II.

Maintaining units in accordance with

written procedures developed and

maintained by the source owner or

operator so as to minimize the duration

of startups and the frequency of

startups. These maintenance practices

shall include maintenance activities

before the unit is started up, when the

iv.

The Permittee shall fulfill applicable recordkeeping

and reporting requirements of Condition 7.1.9(0) and

7.1.10(e).

v.

As provided by 35 lAC 201.265, an authorization in a

permit for excess emissions during startup does not

shield a Permittee from enforcement for any violation

of applicable emission standard(s) that occurs during

startup and only constitutes a prima facie defense to

such an enforcement action provided that the

Permittee has fully complied with all terms and

conditions connected with such authorization.

g.

Malfunction and Breakdown Provisions

Subject to the following terms and conditions, the

Permittee is authorized to continue operation of an

affected turbine in violation of the applicable standards

in Condition 7.1.3(b) in the event of a malfunction or

breakdown of the affected turbines. This authorization is

provided pursuant to 35 lAC 201.149, 201.161 and 201.262,

as the Permittee has applied for such authorization in its

application, generally explaining why such continued

operation would be required to provide essential service or

to prevent risk of inj ury to personnel or sev.ere damage to

equipment, and describing the measures that will be taken

to minimize emissions from any malfunctions and breakdowns.

This authorization supersedes the general prohibition in

Condition 9.2.3 against continued operation in such

circumstances.

i.

This authorization only allows such continued

operation as necessary to provide essential service

or prevent risk of injury to personnel or severe

damage to equipment and does not extend to continued

operation solely for the economic benefit of the

Permittee.

ii.

Upon occurrence of excess emissions due to

malfunction or breakdown, the Permittee shall as soon

as practical repair the turbine, remove the affected

turbine from service, or undertake other action so

that excess emissions cease.

iii. The Permittee shall fulfill the applicable

recordkeeping and reporting requirements of

Conditions 7.1.9(p) and 7.1.10(f). For these

purposes, time shall be measured from the start of a

particular incident. The absence of excess emissions

for a short period shall not be considered to end the

incident if excess emissions resume. In such

circumstances, the incident shall be considered to

continue until corrective actions are taken so that

26

---

7.1. 4

excess emissions cease or the Permittee takes the

affected turbines out of service.

iv.

Following notification to the Illinois EPA of a

malfunction or breakdown with excess emissions, the

Permittee shall comply with all reasonable directives

of the Illinois EPA with respect to such incident,

pursuant to 35 lAC 201.263.

v.

This authorization does not relieve the Permittee

from the continuing obligation to minimize excess

emissions during malfunction or breakdown. As

provided by 35 rAC 201.265, an authorization in a

permit for continued operation with excess emissions

during malfunction and breakdown does not shield the

Permittee from enfer,cement for any such violation and

only constitutes a prima facie defense to such an

enforcement action provided that the Permittee has

fully complied with all terms and conditions

connected with such authorization.

Non-APplicability of Regulations of Concern

a.

The affected turbines are not subject to the New Source

Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Combustion

Turbines, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK, because the

affected turbines did not commence construction,

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.4305(a), and are therefore subject to

40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG for Stationary Gas Turbines.

Note: To qualify for this non-applicability, the Permittee

has certified that the turbines have not been modified or

reconstructed after February 18, 2005.

b.

The affected turbines are not subject to the National

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for

Stationary Combustion Turbines, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart

YYYY, because the affected turbines are not located at a

major source of HAP emissions, pursuant to 40 CFR 63.6085.

c.

The affected turbines are not subject to 35 lAC 212.321 or

212.322, due to the unique nature of such units, a process

weight rate can not be set so that such rules can not

reasonably be applied, pursuant to 35 lAC 212.323.

d.

The affected turbines are not subject to 35 lAC 217.141 or

35 lAC 216.121 because the affected turbines are not fuel

combustion units, as defined by 35 lAC 211.2470.

The 3-run performance test required by 40 CFR

60.8 must be performed within

±

5 percent at

30, 50, 75, and 90-to-100 percent of peak load

or at four evenly-spaced load points in the

normal operating range of the gas turbine,

including the minimum point in the operating

range and 90-to-100 percent of peak load, or at

the highest achievable load point if 90-to-100

percent of peak load cannot be physically

achieved in practice. If the turbine combusts

both oil and gas as primary or backup fuels,

separate performance testing is required for

each fuel. Notwithstanding these requirements,

performance testing is not required for any

emergency fuel (as defined in 40 CFR 60.331),

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (2).

If water or steam injection is used to control

NO

x

with no additional post-combustion NO

x

control and the owner or operator chooses to

monitor the steam or water to fuel ratio in

accordance with 40 CFR 60.334(a), then that

monitoring system must be operated concurrently

with each EPA Method 20, ASTM 06522-00

(incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 60.17),

or EPA Method 7E run and shall be used to

determine the fuel consumption and the stearn or

water to fuel ratio necessary to comply with

the applicable 40 CFR 60.332 NO

emission limit,

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335(b) (4).

If the owner or operator elects to install a

CEMS, the performance evaluation of the CEMS

may either be conducted separately (as

described in 40 CFR 63.335 (b) (7)) or as part of

the initial performance test of the affected

unit, pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (6) .

Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (7), if the owner

or operator elects to install and certify a NO

x

CEMS under 40 CFR 60.334(e), then the initial

performance test required under 40 CFR 60.8 may

be done in the following alternative manner:

Perform a minimum of 9 reference method runs,

with a minimum time per run of 21 minutes, at a

single load level, between 90 and 100 percent

of peak (or the highest physically achievable)

load, pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (7) (i) .

required reference method data for the RATA of

the CEMS described under 40 CFR 60.334(b) ,

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (7) (ii) .

The requirement to test at three additional

load levels is waived, pursuant to 40 CFR

60.335 (b) (7) (iii) .

If the owner or operator elects under 40 CFR

60.334(f) to monitor combustion parameters or

parameters indicative of proper operation of NO

x

emission .controls, the appropriate parameters

shall be continuously monitored and recorded

during each run of the initial performance

test, to establish acceptable operating ranges,

for purposes of the parameter monitoring plan

for the affected unit, as specified in 40 CFR

60.334(g), pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335(b) (8).

Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b) (10), if the owner

or operator is required under 40 CFR

60.334(i) (1) or (3) to periodically determine

the sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the

turbine, a minimum of three fuel samples shall

be collected during the performance test.

Analyze the samples for the total sulfur

content of the fuel using:

For gaseous fuels, ASTM 01072-80, 90

(Reapproved 1994); 03246-81, 92, %; 04468-85

(Reapproved 2000); or 06667-01 (all of which

are incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR

60.17). The applicable ranges of some ASTM

methods mentioned above are not adequate to

measure the levels of sulfur in some fuel

gases. Dilution of samples before analysis

(with verification of the dilution ratio) may

be used, subject to the prior approval of the

Administrator, pursuant to 40 CFR

60.335 (b) (10) (ii) .

The fuel analyses required under paragraphs

(b) (9) and (b) (10) of this section may be

performed by the owner or operator, a service

contractor retained by the owner or operator,

the fuel vendor, or any other qualified agency,

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335 (b)

(11) •

B.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.335(c), the owner or

operator may use the following as alternatives

33

to the reference methods and procedures

specified in this section:

Instead of using the equation in 4-0 CFR

60.335 (b) (1), manufacturers may develop ambient

condition correction factors to adjust the

nitrogen oxides emission level measured by the

performance test as provided in 40 CFR '60.8 to

ISO standard day conditions, pursuant to 40 CFR

60.335(c) (1).

c.

At least 60 days prior to the actual date of testing, a

written test plan shall be submitted to the Illinois EPA

for review. This plan shall describe the specific

procedures for testing and shall include as a minimum:

i.

The person(s) who will be performing sampling and

analysis and their experience with similar tests.

ii.

The specific conditions under which testing shall be

performed including a discussion of why these

conditions will be representative of maximum

emissions and the means by which the operating

parameters for the turbine will be tracked and

recorded.

iii. The specific determinations of emissions that are

intended to be made, including sampling and

monitoring locations; the test method(s) that will be

used, with the specific analysis method, if the

method can be used with different analysis methods.

The source owner or operator may also propose a plan

for testing across the normal operating range of the

affected turbines.

d.

The Illinois EPA shall be notified prior to these tests to

enable the Illinois EPA to observe these tests.

Notification of the expected date of testing shall be

submitted a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the

expected date. Notification of the actual date and

expected time of testing shall be submitted a minimum of

Conclusions.

Monitoring Requirements

a.

i.

If an affected turbine is routinely operated or

exercised to confirm that the turbine will operate

when needed, the operation and opacity of the

affected turbine shall be formally observed by

operating personnel for the affected turbine or a

member of source owner or operator's environmental

staff on a regular basis to assure that the affected

turbine is operating properly, which observations

shall be made at least every six months.

ii.

If an affected turbine is not routinely operated or

exercised, i.e., the time interval between operation

of an affected turbine is typically greater than six

months, the operation and opacity of the affected

turbine shall be formally observed as provided above

each time the source owner or operator carries out a

scheduled exercise of the affected turbine.

iii. The source owner or operator shall also conduct

formal observations of operation and opacity of an

affected turbine upon written request by the Illinois

EPA. With the agreement of the Illinois EPA, the

source owner or operator may schedule these

observations to take place during periods when it

would otherwise be operating the affected turbine.

Note: The formal observation required above is not

intended to be a USEPA Test Method 9 opacity test, nor does

the observation require a USEPA Test Method 9 certified

observer. It is intended to be performed by personnel

familiar with the operation of the affected turbine who

would be able to make a determination based from the

36

---

observed opacity as to whether or not the affected turbine

was running properly, and subsequently initiate a

corrective action if necessary.

b.

The affected turbine shall comply with the applicable

monitoring requirements of 40 CFR 60.334(h), below.

Monitoring of fuel nitrogen content shall not be required

while the facility does not claim an allowance for fuel-

bound nitrogen. Monitoring for sulfur content in fuel is

not required while natural gas is the only fuel fired in

the affected turbine and the requirements of 40 CFR

60.334(h)3(i) or (ii) are met.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.334(h), the owner or operator of any

stationary gas turbine subject to the provisions of this

subpart:

Shall monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel being

fired in the turbine, except as provided in 40 CFR

60.334(h) (3). The sulfur content of the fuel must be

determined using total sulfur methods described in 40 CFR

60.335 (b) (10). Alternatively, if the total sulfur content

of the gaseous fuel during the most recent performance test

was less than 0.4 weight percent (4000 ppmw) , ASTM D4084-

82, 94, D5504-01, D6228-98, or Gas Processors Association

Standard 2377-86 (all of which are incorporated by

reference-see 40 CFR 60.17), which measure the major sulfur

compounds may be used, pursuant to 40 CFR 60.334(h) (1); and

Shall monitor the nitrogen content of the fuel combusted in

the turbine, if the owner or operator claims an allowance

for fuel bound nitrogen (i.e., if an F-value greater than

zero is being or will be used by the owner or operator to

calculate STD in 40 CFR 60.332). The nitrogen content of

the fuel shall be determined using methods described in 40

CFR

60.335(b) (9) or an approved alternative, pursuant to 40

CFR 60.334 (h) (2).

Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.334 (h) (3), notwithstanding the

provisions of paragraph (h) (I) of this section, the owner

or operator may elect not to monitor the total sulfur

content of the gaseous fuel combusted in the turbine, if

the gaseous fuel is demonstrated to meet the definition of

natural gas in 40 CFR 60.33l(u), regardless of whether an

existing custom schedule approved by the administrator for

subpart GG requires such monitoring.

The owner or operator

shall use one of the following sources of information to

make the required demonstration:

The gas quality characteristics in a current, valid

purchase contract, tariff sheet or transportation contract

for the gaseous fuel, specifying that the maximum total

sulfur content of the fuel is 20.0 grains/100 scf or less,

pursuant to 40 CFR 60.334 (3) (i); or

37

Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009

* * * * * PCB 2009-098 * * * * *

---

Representative fuel sampling data which show that the

sulfur content of the gaseous fuel does not exceed 20

grains/lOO scf. At a minimum, the amount of fuel sampling

data specified in section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D

to part 75 of this chapter is required, pursuant to 40 CFR

60.334 (h) (3) (ii).

c.

Should the operation of the affected turbine exceed the

limitations of the definition of a gas-fired peaking unit

in 40 CFR 75, the source owner or operator shall install

the appropriate Continuous Monitoring System(s) on the

affected turbine by December 31 of the following calendar

year, as defined in 40 CFR 75, in order to remain in

compliance with the provisions of the Acid Rain Program.

Monitoring Reguirements

a.

i.

If an affected diesel engine is routinely operated or

exercised to confirm that the affected diesel engine

will operate when needed, the operation and opacity

of the affected diesel engine shall be formally

observed by operating personnel for the affected

diesel engine or a member of Permittee's

environmental staff on a regular basis to assure that

the affected diesel engine is operating properly,

which observations shall be made at least every six

months.

ii.

If an affected diesel engine is not routinely

operated or exercised, i.e., the time interval

between operation of an affected diesel engine is

typically greater than six months, the operation and

opacity of the affected diesel engine shall be

formally observed as provided above each time the

Permittee carries out a scheduled exercise of the

affected diesel engine.

iii. The Permittee shall also conduct formal observations

of operation and opacity of an affected diesel engine

upon written request by the Illinois EPA. With the

agreement of the Illinois EPA, the Permittee may

schedule these observations to take place during

periods when it would otherwise be operating the

affected diesel engine.

Note: The "formally observation" required above is not

intended to be a USEPA Test Method 9 opacity test, nor does

the observation require a USEPA Test Method 9 certified

observer. It is intended to be performed by personnel

familiar with the operation of the affected diesel engine

who would be able to make a determination based from the

affected diesel engine who would be able to make a

determination based from the observed opacity as to whether

of not the affected diesel engine was running properly, and

subsequently initiate a corrective action if necessary.

October 16, 2007

March 20, 2009

Effective Date:

January I, 2010

Expiration Date:

December 31, 2014

STATEMENT OF BASIS:

In accordance with Section 39.5 (17) (b) of Illinois Environmental Protection

Act and Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act, the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency is issuing this Acid Rain Program permit to Ameren UE for

Raccoon Creek Power Plant.

SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO,) ALLOCATIONS AND NITROGEN OXIDE (NO

x

)

REQUIREMENTS FOR

EACH AFFECTED UNIT:

These units are not entitled to an

S02 Allowances

allocation of S02 allowances pursuant

to

40 CFR Part

73.

CT01-CT04

These units are not subject to a NO

x

NO

x

limit

emissions limitation pursuant to 40

CFR Part 76.

PERMIT APPLICATION:

The permit application, which includes S02 allowance

requirements and other standard requirements, is attached and incorporated as

part of this permit. The owners and operators of this source must comply

with the standard requirements and special provisions set forth in the

application

COMMENTS, NOTES AND JUSTIFICATIONS:

This permit contains provisions related

to S02 emissions and requires the owners and operators to hold S02 allowances

to account for S02 emissions from the affected units. An allowance is a

limited authorization to emit up to one ton of 80

2

during or after a specified

calendar year. Although this plant is not eligible for an allowance allocated

by USEPA, the owners or operators may obtain 80

2

allowances to cover emissions

from other sources under a marketable allowance program. The transfer of

allowances to and from a unit account does not necessitate a revision to the

unit SO, allocations denoted in this permit (See 40 CFR 72.84) .

---

This permit contains provisions related to NO

x

emissions and requires the

owners and operators to monitor NO

x

emissions from affected units in

accordance with applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 75. These units are not

subject to a NO

x

emission limitation because USEPA has not adopted such

limitation for combined cycle turbines.

This Acid Rain Program permit does not authorize the construction and operation

of the affected units as such matters are addressed by Titles I and V of the

Clean Air Act. This permit also does not affect the source's responsibility to

meet all other applicable local, state and federal requirements, including 35

lAC Part 225, Subparts C, 0, and E.

If you have any questions regarding this permit, please contact Kaushal Desai

at 217/782-2113.
