(Permit Appeal- Air)
APPEAL OF CAAPP PERMIT
NOW COMES Petitioner, Union Electric Company d/b/a AmerenUE or AmerenUE and
Goose Creek Power Plant ("Petitioner" or "Ameren"), pursuant to Section 40.2
of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Act ("Act") (415 ILCS 5/40.2) and
35 Ill.Adm.Code § 105.300
et seq.,
and requests a hearing before the Board to contest certain conditions contained in the Clean Air
y
Act Permit Program ("CAAPP") renewal permit! (the "permit") issued on March 20, 2009,
pursuant to Section 39.5
of the Act (415 ILCS 5/39.5) and attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 35
Ill.Adm.Code §§ 105.210(a) and (b).
See
Exhibit 1. Pursuant to Section 40.2(a) of the Act and
35 Ill.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, 5.10.2,
7.1.3(f)(iv), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(e), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(1)(i), 7.1.9(1)(ii), 7.1.9(l)(iii), 7.1.l0(e),
7.1.12( e )(ii), 7.2 and its request to stay these Conditions, Petitioner states as follows:

I. BACKGROUND
(35 II1.Adm.Code § 105.304(a))
I.
The Goose Creek Power Plant ("Goose Creek"), Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency ("Agency") I.D.
No. l47803AAC is an electric generating station owned and operated
by Ameren. Goose Creek Power Plant operates as a peaking station, generating electric power
when sufficient electric power
is not available from other sources. The Goose Creek Power
Plant electrical generating units ("EGUs") are combustion turbines and subject
to the CAAPP
(415 ILCS 5/39.5). The Goose Creek Power Plant
is located at 760 E 2150 N Road, Piatt
County, Monticello, Illinois. Piatt 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-
(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, 5.10.2,
7.1.3(f)(iv), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(e), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(1)(i), 7.1.9(l)(ii), 7.1.9(l)(iii), 7.1.10(e),
7.1.12(e)(ii), 7.2 during the pendency
of this appeal.
III. ISSUES ON APPEAL
(35
III.Adm.Code §§ l05.304(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 ofthis appeal.
-3-
Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009
* * * * * PCB 2009-099 * * * * *
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 5.10.2 Annual Emission Report
Petitioner objects to this Condition because
is it arbitrary, capricious, unauthorized by
law and unreasonable. This Condition requires the source to report emissions to demonstrate
-4-
compliance with Condition 5.6.2 as part of its annual emissions report. The source is not a major
source
of hazardous air pollutant emissions and for the reasons set forth above should be deleted.
Accordingly, this Condition should be deleted and stayed during the pendency
ofthis appeal.
10.
Condition 7. 1.3 (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
Condition 7.1.10(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.
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(e) Emission Limitations - Determination
Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious
and vague to the extent it fails to permit the use
of alternate data sources to determine emission
factors necessary for compliance with this Condition. Accordingly, this Condition should be
modified and stayed during the pendency
of this appeal.
13.
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
-5-
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.
14.
Condition 7.1. 9(l)(i) Recordkeeping Requirements - Startups
Petitioner objects
to this Condition because it is unauthorized by law, umeasonable,
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.
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. There is no basis for requiring the
source to provide the Agency with information regarding whether personnel are on-site during
startup. 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.
15.
Condition 7.1.9(l)(ii) Recordkeeping Requirements - Shutdowns
Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unauthorized by law, umeasonable,
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 ofthis appeal.
16.
Condition 7 .1.9(l)(iii) Recordkeeping Requirements - Opacity
Petitioner objects to this Condition because it is unauthorized by law, umeasonable,
redundant, arbitrary and capricious. 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.
It
is unclear what information must be included when
-6-
describing the startup and there is no basis for requiring the source to provide the Agency with a
reason for the startup. Furthermore, the requirement that the unit achieve "normal operation"
within thirty minutes does not reflect current operating conditions. 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.
17.
Condition 7.1.10Ce) Reporting Startups
Petitioner objects to this Condition because it
is unauthorized by law, redundant,
unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious.
Several other Conditions, including 7.1.10(a) and
7.l.l0(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
ofthis appeal.
18.
Condition 7.1.12Ce)(ii) 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
-7-
Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009
* * * * * PCB 2009-099 * * * * *
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
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.
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, 5.10.2, 7.1.3(t)(iv), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(e), 7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(l)(i),
7.1.9(l)(ii), 7.1.9(l)(iii), 7.1.10(e), 7.1.12(e)(ii), 7.2
of the CAAPP renewal permit issued March
19, 2009, for the Goose 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, 5.10.2, 7.1.3(t)(iv), 7.1.5(a)(iii)(A), 7.1.6(e),
7.1.8(a)(iii), 7.1.9(1)(i), 7.1.9(l)(ii), 7.1.9(l)(iii), 7.1.10(e), 7.1.12(e)(ii), 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 Goose Creek Power Plant during the pendency
of this appeal.

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 in Condition 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".
i.
This authorization does not relieve the Permittee
from the continuing obligation to demonstrate that
all reasonable efforts are made to minimize startup
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
25
Electronic Filing - Received, Clekr's Office, April 24, 2009
* * * * * PCB 2009-099 * * * * *
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
unit is in operation, and when the unit
is shut down.
III. The procedures described above shall be
reviewed at least annually to make
necessary adjustments and shall be made
available to the Illinois EPA upon
request.
iv.
The Permittee shall fulfill applicable recordkeeping
and reporting requirements of Condition 7.1.9(1) and
7.1.10
(e).
v.
As provided by 35 IAC 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) and the hourly emission limits in
Condition 7.1.6 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 injury to personnel or severe 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.
26
7.1.4
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(m) 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
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 rAC 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 lAC 201.265, an authorization in a
permit for continued operation with excess emissions
during malfunction and breakdown does not shield the
Permittee from enforcement 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.

startup of an affected turbine shall be based on
representative emission testing conducted with USEPA
Reference Test Methods [TIl.
g.
The establishment of the above procedures for determining
compliance with the annual emission limits shall not shield
the Permittee from responsibility for all emissions from
the source, including emissions during startup or upset
conditions, as other credible information may demonstrate
that the above procedures do not adequately account for the
actual emissions of the source [T1].
Testing Requirements
a.
The nitrogen oxides (NO

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-IOO 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 D6522-00
(incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 60.17),
or EPA Method 7E run and shall be used to
determine the fuel consumption and the steam or
water to fuel ratio necessary to comply with
the applicable 40 CFR 60.332 NO
x
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 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) .
Use the test data both to demonstrate
compliance with the applicable NO
x
emission
limit under 40 CFR 60.332 and to provide the
required reference method data for the RATA of
33

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(£) 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 D1072-80, 90
(Reapproved 1994); 03246-81, 92, 96; 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

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
observed opacity as to whether or not the affected turbine
was running properly, and subsequently initiate a
corrective action if necessary.
37
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 paragraph
(h) (3)of this section. 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 04084-82, 94, 05504-01, 06228-98, 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 cornbusted 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 STO 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) (1) of this section, the owner
or operator may elect not to monitor the total sulfur
content of the gaseous fuel cornbusted
in
the turbine,
if
the gaseous fuel
is
demonstrated to meet the
definition
of
natural gas in 40 CFR 60.331(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
Representative fuel sampling data which show that the
sulfur content of the gaseous fuel does not exceed 20
38
grains/100 scf. At a mlnlmum, 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) .

operator of a combustion turbine that operates less
than 350 hour per ozone control period may determine
the heat input and NO
x
emissions of the turbine as
follows
[35 lAC 217.710(c)]:
i.
A.
Heat input shall be determined from the metered
fuel usage to the turbine or the calculated
heat input determined as the product of the
turbine's maximum hourly heat input and hours
of operation as recorded by operating
instrumentation on the turbine [35 lAC
217.710(c) (1)].
B.
NO
x
emissions shall be determined as the product
of the heat input, as determined above, and the
appropriate default NO
x
emission factors below
[35 lAC 217.710 (c) (2)] :
0.7 Ibs/mmBtu - Natural gas
1.2 Ibs/mmBtu - Fuel oil
The affected turbine shall be equipped, operated, and

the affected diesel engines, the Permittee shall have
the sulfur content of the oil supply to the affected
diesel engines, in lbs/mmBtu, determined from an
analysis of representative sample of the oil supply,
as follows, pursuant to Section 39.5(7) (d) of the
Act:
A.
From a sample taken no later than 90 days after
first operating the affected diesel engines
pursuant to this permit, provided, however,
that if such sample is taken following
operation of the affected diesel engines, the
sample shall be taken prior to adding more oil
to the storage tank.
B.
From a sample taken no later than 30 days after
acceptance of a shipment of fuel whose sulfur
content would not meet Condition 7.2.3(c) based
51
7.2.8
upon supplier data, provided however, that if
the affected
diesel
engines are operated
following acceptance of such a shipment, the
sample shall be taken prior to adding a

Note: Condition 7.2.7(b) (ii) is for fuel testing
methodology only, and is in no way intended to
subject the source to those provisions.
Monitoring Requirements
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
52
7.2.9
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 engines
who would be able to make a determination based from the
affected diesel engines 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.

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 Union Electric
Company d/b/a Ameren UE for Goose Creek Power Plant.
SULFUR DIOXIDE (S02) ALLOCATIONS AND NITROGEN OXIDE (NO.) REQUIREMENTS FOR
EACH AFFECTED UNIT:
These units are not entitled to an
S02 Allowances
allocation of S02 allowances pursuant
to
40 CFR Part 73.

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 S02 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 S02 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 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, D, and E.
If you have any questions regarding this permit, please contact Ross Cooper
at 217/782-2113.

and the hourly limits in Condition 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".
i.
This authorization does not relieve the Permittee
from the continuing obligation to demonstrate that
all reasonable efforts are made to minimize startup
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

The Permittee shall conduct s.tartup. 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

v.
As provided by 35 IAC 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) and the hourly emission limits in
Condition 7.1.6 in the event of a malfunction or breakdown
of the affected turbines. This authorization is provided
pursuant to 35 IAC 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 injury to personnel or severe 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(m) 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
excess emissions cease or the Permittee takes the
affecteq 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 lAC 201.265, an authorization in a
permit for continued operation with excess emissions'
during malfunction and breakdown does not shield the
Permittee from enforcement 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.

The 3-run performance test required by 40 CFR
60.8 must be performed within
±
5 percent at
30, 50, 75, and 90-to-l00 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-l00 percent of peak load, or at
the highest achievable load point if
90~to-l00
percent of peak load cannot be physically
achieved in practice.
If the turbine cornbusts
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 stearn injection is used to control

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).
Use the test data both to demonstrate
compliance with the applicable NO
x
emission
limit under 40 CFR 60.332 and to provide the
required reference method data for the RATA of
33
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 D1072-80, 90
(Reapproved 1994); D3246-81, 92, 96; D4468-85
(Reapproved 2000); or D6667-01 (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
