Purpose of the meeting A public hearing to receive comment on an amendment to a major source construction issued to the Microsoft Corporation – East Coast Data Center located in Boydton. The facility is a data center back-up power electric generating facility. The proposed permit would allow the addition of 48 more generators, change the fuel throughput, and change the emission factors. The proposed facility is classified as major source of air pollution. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility under the proposed permit are expected to be: 173.9 tons per year of NOx, 9.2 tons per year of PM/PM10/PM2.5, 47.2 tons per year of CO, and 3.6 tons per year of VOC. The applicant proposes to use 1,166,125 gallons per year of diesel with a 15 ppm sulfur content for fuel. The technology that will be used to control the air pollution from the facility is software to minimize NOx emissions from the engines.
