An annual inspection ofthe equipment that iscovered bythe certificates was made at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant onMarch 31,2011. The observations thatwere made during the inspection are summarized inthis report. This report also includes discussions ofthe operation ofthe permitted equipment, the air pollutant emissions, and the applicable regulations.
Process Description TVA Sequoyah uses two nuclear reactors, which are referred to as Reactor Units #1 and
- 2, to heat pressurized water. For each reactor unit, this pressurized water, which circulates in a closed loop, is used as a source ofheat to produce steam inside offour parallel steam generators.
The resulting steam from the four steam generators ofeach unit is sent to a common header and is then used in a high-pressure turbine followed by three low-pressure turbines in series to power a generator that produces electricity. The steam is condensed after it exits the four turbines, and the water, whether in the liquid or gaseous (steam) state, circulates in a closed loop for each unit.
This water is circulated by two parallel feedwater pumps that are each driven by a turbine. These two turbines for each unit are powered by "extraction" steam that is diverted from the initial high-pressure turbine.
Water from the adjacent Tennessee River is used to condense the steam. Reintroduction ofthis water into the river cannot result in the downstream temperature ofthe river being raised by more than 5.4°F during the months ofApril through October and 9.0°F during the months of November through March as averaged over a 24-hour period. The temperature ofthe water that is discharged into the river also cannot fluctuate by more than 3.6°F during any hour. Holding ponds are sometimes sufficient to cool the water to the desired temperature. However, it is often necessary to cool this water further in either oftwo cooling towers, which are designated as the Unit #1 cooling tower (Certificate -01C) and the Unit #2 cooling tower (Certificate -03C). In addition, reintroduction ofthe water into the river cannot result in the downstream river temperature exceeding an average of 86.9°F over a 24-hour period unless the water is being cooled in one cooling tower per operating reactor unit. Water mist that is emitted from the two cooling towers contains entrained particulate matter. These particulate emissions are uncontrolled and originate from dirt, silt, etc. in the river water.
For each ofthe two reactor units, the initial high-pressure turbine and the two feedwater pump turbines are each supplied with lubricating oil by an oil recirculation system. In addition, the electricity generator ofeach unit is supplied with seal oil by an oil recirculation system. Each ofthese eight recirculation systems includes an oil reservoir that is equipped with an oil vapor extractor. The extractors serve to vent oil vapor from the air space above the oil reservoirs.
Each ofthe eight oil vapor extractors also serves to remove water from the oil that results from inadvertent contact between the oil and steam. Hydrogen gas is used to cool the bearings ofthe two electricity generators, and the oil vapor extractor for the seal oil reservoir ofeach generator also serves to remove dissolved hydrogen from the oil. Hydrogen is not considered to be an air pollutant. Particulate emissions ofoil mist, which is a VOC, result from each ofthe eight oil vapor extractors. The oil mist emissions from the extractor for the oil reservoir ofthe initial high-pressure turbine of each unit are controlled by a demister, and the oil mist emissions from the other six oil vapor extractors are uncontrolled. Oil vapor extractors for coal-fired steam generating facilities are classified as insignificant activities in accordance with §8(a)(l)a.
However, because such extractors for nuclear-powered steam generating facilities are not specifically listed as insignificant activities, TVA has been informed that installation permits and initial certificates ofoperation will be issued for the Unit #1 and Unit #2 oil vapor extractors.

Ifboth nuclear reactor units are not in operation, either Auxiliary Boiler A or B (Certificate -08C) could be used to preheat water for the steam generators in preparation for starting up one ofthe reactor units. The boiler would then be shut offwhen the reactor comes on line. In addition, either ofthese two identical boilers could be used as needed to heat the turbine building in order to keep water in pipes from freezing during the winter months ifboth reactor units are not in operation. The auxiliary boilers are not normally used, however, because at least one ofthe two reactor units should be in operation at any time. The two boilers are fueled exclusively by diesel fuel (No. 2 fuel oil). They had been fueled by low-sulfur diesel fuel, and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is currently available for use in them. Emissions that result from fuel combustion in the boilers are uncontrolled, and they are vented to a single exhaust stack.
Emergency Generators 1A, IB, 2A, and 2B (Certificate -11C) are available to provide electricpower for safely shutting down the nuclearreactors in the unlikely event ofa loss ofoff-site power to the plant. In addition, "Blackout" Generators 1 and 2 are available for a similar purpose. Only one emergency generator would be needed per operating reactor. Emergency Generators 1A and IB serve Reactor Unit #1, and Reactor Unit #2 is served by Emergency Generators 2A and 2B. Each ofthe four identical emergency generators and two identical blackout generators is powered by an internal-combustion engine that is fueled exclusively by diesel fuel. They were previously fueled by low-sulfur diesel fuel, and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is used in them at present. Emissions that result from fuel combustion in them are uncontrolled. Each ofthe engines for the four emergency generators is equipped with two exhaust stacks. There has never been an unintended loss ofpower that required the use ofany of the six generators, although they are periodically operated for test purposes.
In the event ofa loss ofpower to the plant, seven other generators are available to provide electric power for specific needs. These seven generators, along with four water pumps, are each powered by a small internal-combustion engine that is fueled exclusively by diesel fuel.
Low-sulfiir diesel fuel was previously used in them, and they are currently fueled by ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. Most ofthem are periodically operated for test purposes, and emissions that result from fuel combustion in them are uncontrolled. Diesel fuel is burned in the largest of these eleven engines at a maximum rate of 31.1 gal/hr (4.26 MMBtu/hr), and each ofthem is not required to be permitted in accordance with §4-8(d)(3).
Two band saws (Certificate -06C) are used to cut insulation to fit various components at the plant. These components include piping and pressure vessels. The two saws are primarily used to cut calcium silicate (CaSiC>3) insulation, but they can also be used to cut other types of insulation material, such as rubber. No material containing asbestos is ever cut by either ofthese saws. Insulation Saw A is used primarily. Insulation Saw B is not currently used, but it is available for use as a backup unit. For Saw A, particulate emissions from a large suction hose that is mounted near the working section ofthe band saw blade are controlled by a prefilter followed by a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter. Particulate emissions from a hood that is over this saw are also controlled by a prefilterfollowedby a HEPA filter. These two HEPA filters are vented to a single exhaust hose. For Saw B, three prefilters in parallel followed by three HEPA filters in parallel are used to control particulate emissions from a large suction hose that is positioned near the working section ofthe band saw blade. In addition, for each of Tennessee Valley Authority-Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Page 3
Saws A and B, a settling drum followed by a bag filter is used to control particulate emissions from each oftwo suction vents that are both located under the work table and adjacent to the band saw blade.
A carpentershop (Certificate -09C) contains two radial-armsaws, a table saw, a band saw, and a planer. Particulateemissionsofsawdustfrom all ofthese pieces ofwoodworking equipment are controlled by a baghouse. This baghouse is also used to control particulate emissions from two floor vents that sawdust is swept into.
Abrasiveblasting(Certificate -IOC)of sheetmetal is performedwithina largeenclosed room using amanual nozzle. Boiler slag, under the trade name ofBlack Beauty, is used as the abrasive. Particulate emissions from this operation are controlled by a filter panel.
Ten test welding booths are occasionallyused for training purposes. Stick, TIG (tungsten inertgas),and MIG (metalinert gas)welding is performed in thesebooths, and uncontrolled particulate emissions fromtheseboothsarevented to a single exhaust stack. In addition, a sawis used to cut small sectionsofsteel pipe that have been weldedin the booths in orderto test the integrityofthe welds. Particulateemissionsof steeldust fromthis saw are controlledby a HEPA filter. Maintenancewelding is an insignificantactivity, and because the test welding booths and saw are used only in conjunction with training workers to perform maintenance welding, they are also classified as insignificant activities in accordance with §8(a)(l)a.
Evaluation 4150-30600701-01C Unit #1 Cooling Tower 4150-30600701-03C Unit #2 Cooling Tower The Unit #1 and Unit #2 cooling towers were not in operation at the time ofthe inspection. Reactor Units #1 and #2 were both on line. Both cooling towers appeared to be in good condition.
Each ofthe two cooling towers was used for 814 hours0.00942 days <br />0.226 hours <br />0.00135 weeks <br />3.09727e-4 months <br /> during calendar year 2009. The estimated particulate emissions from each ofthese towers are given in Table I at the end ofthis section. The potential emissions are based on continuous operation.
Installation ofthe Unit #1 and #2 cooling towers was completed in 1980. The particulate emissions from each ofthe two cooling towers are limited by Rule 10.3 (Schedule 2) to 115.2 lbs/hr, based on a process weight of 139,690 tons/hr. This limitation is more stringent than the Rule 10.7 particulate emission limit of0.25 gr/scf (85,760 lbs/hr) for each tower. However, a more stringent particulate emission limitation of7.2 lbs/hr has been previously established for each tower because it has been determined that operation at the Rule 10.3 allowable emission rate would result in the creation ofa particulate non-attainment area.

4150-30700804-06C Insulation Saws A and B Insulation Saw A was not in operation at the time ofthe inspection, and Insulation Saw B is not currently in use. Saw A and its two prefilters, two HEPA filters, two settling drums, and two bag filters and Saw B and its three prefilters and three HEPA filters appeared to be in good condition. The two settling drums and two bag filters for use with Saw B were not in position, and they will be replaced before the saw is used again.
Saw A is used for an average of4 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, and 6 wks/yr. Saw B was last operatedno later than in 2003. Each HEPAfilterhas an estimatedparticulatecontrolefficiency of99.9%. Each settling drum and bag filter in series is estimated to be 94% efficient in controlling particulate emissions.
The estimated particulate emissionsfrom each ofthe two saws are given in Table I.
These emissions are conservatively based on control only by a settling drum followed by a bag filter. The potential emissions are based on continuous operation.
Insulation Saw A was installed in 1989. The particulate emissions from this saw are limited by Rule 10.3 (Schedule 2) to 0.49 lb/hr, based on a process weight of 80 lbs/hr. In addition,the particulate emissions from each ofthe exhaustpoints ofthis saw are limited by Rule 10.7 to 0.25 gr/scf. This limitation is equivalent to 0.39 lb/hr for each ofthe two bag filters.
This limitation cannot be converted into units of lbs/hr for the set of HEPA filters because the exhaust flow rate through the filters is not available at this time.
Insulation Saw B was installed in about 1988. However, as of 2005, Insulation Saw B went for two years without being operated, and it was no longer considered to be an existing source at that time, in accordance with §8(c)(l). Potential particulate emissions from Saw B, before being controlled, are estimated to be 9.7 tons/yr. Therefore, the particulate emissions from this saw are subject to Rule 27.3. Control ofthese emissions by a settling drum followed by a bag filter has been determined to be reasonable and proper, in accordance with Rule 27.3.
An appropriate reasonable and proper limitation for the particulate emissions from Saw B has been previously determined to be 0.20 lb/hr. This limitation is more stringent than both the Rule 10.3 (Schedule 2) particulate emission limit of 0.49 lb/hr, based on a process weight of 80 lbs/hr, and the Rule 10.7 particulate emission limit of0.25 gr/scf, which is equivalent to 0.39 lb/hr for each ofthe two bag filters ofthis saw. The Rule 10.7 limit cannot be converted into units of lbs/hr for the set ofHEPA filters ofthis saw because the exhaust flow rate through the filters is not available at this time.
4150-10200501-08C Auxiliary Boilers A and B Auxiliary Boilers A and B are not currently in use. These two boilers appeared to be in good condition. The required certifications ofdiesel fuel sulfur content and the required logs of daily hours ofoperation and monthly diesel fuel usage for each boiler were being maintained.
TennesseeValley Authority-SequoyahNuclearPlant Page 5
Each ofthe two boilers has a rated capacity of 54.5 MMBtu/hr. They are normally not in use. Boiler A was last operated briefly (22 minutes) for test purposes on September 16,2004, and Boiler B was last operated on November 14,2000. They are fueled exclusivelyby diesel fuel that has average and maximum sulfur contents of0.0015% and 0.06% by weight, respectively.
The estimated emissions ofparticulate (PM25, PMio,and total), NOx, SOx, CO, VOCs, methane, and C02 (actual and C02e) that result from diesel fuel combustionin the two boilers combinedare given in Table II at the end ofthis section. Theseemissionswere calculatedby using AP-42 (1998) emission factors. The potentialemissionsare based on simultaneous operationof the two boilers at their rated capacities whileburningdieselfuel that has the maximum sulfur content. The potential emissionsare also based on the sum ofthe total amount of timethat BoilerA is in operation andthe totalamount of timethat BoilerB is in operation being equal to 2,000 hrs/yr.
47.0% and 69.7% ofthe particulateemissions that result from burning diesel fuel in the boilers are PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. The VOC emissionsthat result from diesel fuel combustionin the boilers consist ofup to 28.4%formaldehyde (methanal, H2CO), which is a HAP. All ofthese percentageswere determined by using AP-42 (1998)emissionfactors.
Auxiliary Boilers A and B were installedin 1976. However,as ofNovember 15,2002, the two boilerswent for two years withoutbeingoperated, andthey were no longerconsidered to be existingsources at that time, in accordance with §8(c)(l). Theseboilersaretherefore subject to the provisions of "Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units" [40 CFR Part 60, SubpartDc (§60.40c-48c)],as adopted at Rule 15.
§60.42c(d) of SubpartDc stipulatesthat no fuel shallbe burnedin either boiler that has a sulfur contentofgreaterthan 0.5% by weight. Reporting and recordkeeping requirements are givenin
§60.48c ofthis subpart.
Potential NOx emissions from each ofBoilers A and B are estimated to be 7.956 lbs/hr.
An appropriate NOx emission limitation for each of the two boilers has been previously determined to be 9.0 lbs/hr. An appropriate limitation has also been previously determined to be that the sum ofthe total amount oftime during which Boiler A is in operation and the total amount oftime during which Boiler B is in operation shall not exceed 2,000 hrs/yr. These NOx emission and operational limitations result in an appropriate NOx emission limitation of9.0 tons/yr for the two boilers combined. TVA requested all ofthese limitations in order to qualify as a synthetic minor source. The potential emissions that are given in Table II are based upon the operational limitation.
Potential particulate emissions from each ofBoilers A and B are estimated to be 1.313 lbs/hr and 5.7 tons/yr, based on continuous operation. Therefore, the particulate emissions from these boilers are subject to Rule 27.3. An appropriate reasonable and proper limitation, in accordance with Rule 27.3, for the particulate emissions from each ofBoilers A and B has been previously determined to be 0.030 lb/MMBtu, which is equivalent to 1.64 lbs/hr for each boiler while it is operating at its rated capacity. No controls are necessary in order to achieve this Tennessee Valley Authority - Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Page6
limitation for either boiler. This limitation is equivalent to the particulate emission limit that, although not applicable to the two boilers, is stipulated by §60.43c(e)(l) of Subpart Dc. This limitation is more stringent than the Rule 8.2 (Schedule 2) particulate emission limit of 12.72 lbs/hr for each boiler. This limitation is also more stringent than the Rule 26.6 (RACT) particulate emission limit of0.15864 lb/MMBtu, which, although it is not applicable to the two boilers, is equivalent to 8.65 lbs/hr for each boiler while it is operating at its rated capacity.
An appropriate sulfur content limitation for the diesel fuel that is burned in Boilers A and B has been previously determined to be 0.06% by weight. TVA requested this limitation in order to qualify as a synthetic minor source. Combustion ofdiesel fuel with the maximum allowable sulfur content in either boiler at its rated capacity results in potential SOx emissions of3.44 lbs/hr. This SOx emission rate is the effective SOx emission limitation for each boiler. This limitation is more stringent than the Rule 13.2 SO2 emission limit of4 lbs/MMBtu, which is equivalent to 218.0 lbs/hr for each ofthe two boilers while they are operating at their rated capacities.
The VOC emissions from Boilers A and B are subject to BACT (Rule 25.3). It has been determined that no controls are necessary in order to satisfy BACT for these emissions, and no quantitative BACT VOC emission limitations are necessary. No limitations are applicable for the emissions of CO, methane, and CO2 from either ofthe two boilers.
4150-30703099-09C Carpenter Shop None ofthe equipment ofthe carpenter shop was in operation at the time ofthe inspection. The two radial-arm saws, table saw, band saw, planer, two floor vents, and baghouse appeared to be in good condition.
The carpenter shop is operated for approximately 4 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, and 6 wks/yr.
The baghouse has an estimated particulate control efficiency of99%. The estimated particulate emissions from this carpenter shop are given in Table I. The potential emissions are based on continuous operation.
The carpenter shop was installed in May 1995. The particulate emissions from this carpenter shop are limited by Rule 10.3 (Schedule 2) to 1.42 lbs/hr, based on a process weight of 450 lbs/hr. This limitation is more stringent than the Rule 10.7 particulate emission limit of 0.25 gr/scf (3.43 lbs/hr).
4150-30900203-10C Abrasive Blasting Operation Abrasive blasting was not being performed at the time ofthe inspection. The room that it is performed in and the filter panel appeared to be in good condition.
Tennessee Valley Authority - Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Page 7
The abrasive blasting operation is used for approximately 3 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, and 8 wks/yr. Abrasive is blasted at a rate of approximately 500 lbs/hr. The filter panel has an estimated particulate control efficiency of95%.
The estimated particulate emissions from this operation are given in Table I. These emissions were calculated by using an AP-42 (1997) uncontrolled particulate emission factor of 0.027 pound per pound of sand multiplied by (0.010 pound per pound ofabrasive)/(0.041 pound per pound ofsand), which is a ratio ofSCAQMD uncontrolled particulate emission factors. The potential emissions are based on continuous operation.
The abrasive blasting operation began to be used in 1996, and potential particulate emissions from it, before being controlled, are estimated to be 14.4 tons/yr. Therefore, the particulate emissions from this operation are subject to Rule 27.3. Control ofthese emissions by a filter panel has been determined to be reasonable and proper, in accordance with Rule 27.3. An appropriatereasonable and proper limitationfor the particulateemissions from this operationhas beenpreviouslydeterminedto be 0.30 lb/hr. This limitationis more stringentthan both the Rule 10.3(Schedule2) particulate emission limit of 1.52lbs/hr and the Rule 10.7particulateemission limit of 0.25 gr/scf (55.71 lbs/hr).
4150-20200102-11C Emergency Generators 1A, IB, 2A, and 2B and Blackout Generators 1 and 2 Emergency Generators 1A, IB, 2A, and 2B and Blackout Generators 1 and 2 were not in operation at the time ofthe inspection. Generators 1A and 2A and Blackout Generators 1 and 2 appeared to be in good condition. Generators IB and 2B could not be viewed because ofa temporary security restriction. The required certifications ofdiesel fuel sulfur content and the required log ofdaily hours ofoperation for each ofthe generators were being maintained.
The four emergency generators each have a rated capacity of 38.4 MMBtu/hr, and they are each normally tested at a heat input rate ofabout 34.25 MMBtu/hr. Each ofthe two blackout generators is normally tested at 50% of its rated capacity of 18.5 MMBtu/hr. The six generators are fueled exclusively by diesel fuel that has a maximum sulfur content of 0.06% by weight.
The six generators are normally operated only during testing. During the twelve-month period from April 1,2009, through March 31,2010, annual testing times were 60.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for Generator 1A, 40.9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> for Generator IB, 66.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> for Generator 2A, 72.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for Generator 2B, 4.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> for Blackout Generator 1, and 5.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> for Blackout Generator 2. The low-sulfurdiesel fuel that was burned in the six generators during this period had an average sulfur content of0.05% by weight. The ultra-lowsulfurdiesel fuel that is currently used has an average sulfur content of 0.0015% by weight.
The estimated emissions ofparticulate (PM25, PM10, and total), NOx, SOx, CO, VOCs, methane,and CO2 (actual and C02e) that result from diesel fuel combustion in the six generators combinedare given in Table II. These emissionswere calculatedby using emission factorsfrom Tennessee Valley Authority-Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Page 8
AP-42 (1996) Table 3.4-2 for particulate; AP-42 (1996) Table 3.4-1 forNOx, CO, VOCs, methane, and CO2; and AP-42 (1998) Table 1.3-1 for SOx. The potential emissions are based on simultaneous operation ofthe six generators at their rated capacities for 204 hrs/yr while burning diesel fuel that has the maximum sulfur content. According to AP-42 (1996) emission factors, 79.8% and 82.2% ofthe particulate emissions that result from burning diesel fuel in the generators are PM2.5 and PMio, respectively.
Emergency Generators 1A, IB, 2A, and 2B were installed in 1972, and Blackout Generators 1 and 2 were installed in 2004. Potential NOx emissions are estimated to be 122.880 lbs/hr from each ofthe four emergency generators and 59.200 lbs/hr from each ofthe two blackout generators. An appropriate NOx emission limitation for each ofthe four emergency generators has been previously determined to be 140.0 lbs/hr (2,242 ppm). An appropriate limitation for the NOx emissions from each ofthe two blackout generators has been previously determined to be 68.0 lbs/hr (1,687 ppm). An appropriate limitation has also been previously determined to be 204 hrs/yr for the time ofoperation ofeach ofthe six generators. This operational limitation is more stringent than the Rule 2.7 limit of20 days/yr (480 hrs/yr) for the operation ofany generator that emits more than 1,500 ppm ofNOx. Rule 2.7 also limits the operation of such generators to no more than 5 consecutivedays. The NOx emission limitations and operational limitation result in an appropriateNOx emission limitation of70.992 tons/yr for the six generators combined. TVA requested all ofthese limitations in order to qualify as a synthetic minor source. The potential emissions that are given in Table III are based upon the operational limitation.
Potential NOx emissions from the combined eleven small internal-combustion engines that are not required to be permitted are estimated to be 16.145tons/yr, based on operation for 480 hrs/yr (the Rule 2.7 limitation). These emissions were calculated by using emission factors from AP-42 (1996) Table 3.3-1. The sum ofthese potential NOx emissions, the allowable NOx emissions of9.0 tons/yr for Auxiliary Boilers A and B combined (Certificate -08C), and the allowable NOx emissions of 70.992 tons/yr for the six permitted generators combined is 96.137 tons/yr, which is below the Part 70 major source threshold for NOx emissions of 100 tons/yr.
Potential particulate emissions from each ofEmergency Generators 1A, IB, 2A, and 2B are estimated to be 2.676 lbs/hr. The particulate emissions from each ofthese generators are limited by Rule 10.2 (Schedule 1) to 4.07 lbs/hr, based on a process weight for each generator of 1,976 lbs/hr (38.4 MMBtu/hr -s- 0.137 MMBtu/gal x 7.05 lbs/gal). This limitation is more stringent than the Rule 10.7 particulate emission limit of 0.25 gr/scf (18.75 lbs/hr) for each emergency generator.
Potential particulate emissions from each ofBlackout Generators 1 and 2 are estimated to be 1.289 lbs/hr and 0.31 ton/yr, based on operation for 480 hrs/yr (the Rule 2.7 limitation).
Therefore, the particulate emissions from these generators are subject to Rule 27.3. An appropriate reasonable and proper limitation, in accordance with Rule 27.3, for the particulate emissions from each ofBlackout Generators 1 and 2 has been previously determined to be 1.80 lbs/hr. No controls are necessary in order to achieve this limitation for either generator. This limitation is more stringent than both the Rule 10.3 (Schedule 2) particulate emission limit of Tennessee Valley Authority - Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Page 9
2.27 lbs/hr, based on a process weight for each blackout generator of 952 lbs/hr (18.5 MMBtu/hr
- 0.137 MMBtu/gal x 7.05 lbs/gal), and the Rule 10.7 particulate emission limit of0.25 gr/scf (12.10 lbs/hr) for each blackout generator.
An appropriate limitation for the sulfur content ofthe diesel fuel that is burned in the six generators has been previously determined to be 0.06% by weight. TVA requested this limitation in order to qualify as a synthetic minor source. Combustion ofdiesel fuel with the maximum allowable sulfur content in the six generators at their rated capacities results in potential SOx emissions of2.422 lbs/hr for each ofthe four emergency generators and 1.17 lbs/hr for each ofthe two blackout generators. These SOx emission rates are the effective SOx emission limitations for the six generators. These limitations are more stringent than the Rule 13.1 SO2emission limits of500 ppm (43.5 lbs/hr) for each emergency generator and 500 ppm (28.1 lbs/hr) for each blackout generator.
The VOC emissions from the two blackout generators are subject to BACT (Rule 25.3).
It has been determined that no controls are necessary in order to satisfy BACT for these emissions, and no quantitative BACT VOC emission limitations are necessary. The emissions of CO, methane, and CO2 from the two blackout generators are subject to Rule 23. It has been determined that no controls are necessary in order to satisfy reasonable and proper control technology, in accordance with Rule 23, for these emissions of CO, methane, and CO2, and no quantitative reasonable and proper limitations are necessary for these emissions. In addition, no limitations are applicable for the emissions of CO, VOCs, methane, and CO2 from any ofthe four emergency generators.
