| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing and information briefing on a draft permit for Green Energy Partners/Stonewall, LLC. The information briefing will begin at 6:00 p.m. on the same date and at the same location as the public hearing. Green Energy Partners / Stonewall, LLC has applied for a permit to construct and operate the Stonewall Combined-Cycle Project, a natural gas fired combined-cycle combustion turbine electric power generating facility having an electrical output capacity of approximately 750 MW to be located in Loudoun County. This area is in non-attainment for both the 1997 & 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The area is in attainment for all other NAAQS. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility are expected to be: 164.9 tons per year (tpy) of nitrogen oxides (as NO2), 205.6 tpy of carbon monoxide (CO), 51.9 tpy of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 106.1 tpy of total filterable & condensable particulate matter (PM) with a diameter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10), 99.1 tpy of PM2.5 (PM with a diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns), 5.44 tpy of sulfur dioxide (SO2), 2,468,468 tpy of green house gasses (carbon dioxide equivalent) and 10.1 tpy of total hazardous air pollutants. The applicant proposes to use 40.9 billion cubic feet per year of natural gas for fuel, and 9,370 gallons of diesel fuel per year. The proposed Stonewall Combined-Cycle Project does not cause or significantly contribute to a predicted violation of any applicable NAAQS or Class II area PSD increment. Emission offsets are required for nitrogen oxides and potentially for VOCs. DEQ accepts comments and requests for Board consideration by hand-delivery, e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester. A request for Board consideration must also include: 1) The reason why Board consideration is requested. 2) A brief, informal statement regarding the nature and extent of the interest of the requester or of those represented by the requestor, including how and to what extent such interest would be directly and adversely affected by the permit. 3) Specific references, where possible, to terms and conditions of the permit with suggested revisions. Board consideration may be granted if public response is significant, based on individual requests for Board consideration, and there are substantial, disputed issues relevant to the permit. The public comment on the draft permit begins on February 27, 2013 and ends on April 19, 2013. | |
