DATE: June 17, 2020
BACKGROUND On April 21, 2017 the Department received the permit renewal application for the Title V permit (Permit:
AQM-001/00002) at the City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station (MRGS). A revised permit
application was later received by the Department on August 16, 2018. Both applications were prepared by NAES and submitted by the City of Dover. The MRGS is a power generation plant owned by the City of
Dover and operated by NAES. According to the application, the facility is operated as a “peaker power plant”, which means it is primarily called upon to operate by the regional electrical grid system operator –
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland (PJM) – during peak demand days when the other available sources of generation are inadequate.
The existing permit for the facility allowed for the operation of three (3) boilers with associated steam turbines for the generation of power, two (2) hot water boilers, two (2) cold solvent cleaners, and one (1)
fuel storage tank. An emergency fire pump engine, which was not given an emission unit identification number, was also included in the existing permit under the “facility wide” section. Table 1 summarizes the
emission units which were permitted by Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 3):

Table 1: Emission Units Permitted by Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 3)
On June 22, 2017 I visited the MRGS to inspect the two (2) 225 MMBTU/hr boilers which were being
retired. I observed that the natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil supply lines had been capped off to prevent future operation of the emission units. Consequently, all reference to and requirements associated with
the 225 MMBTU/hr boilers have been removed from this permit. Table 2 summarizes the units that are
covered by this permit renewal.

Despite the removal of the two (2) 225 MMBTU/hr boilers from the permit, the facility’s operations still have the potential to emit (PTE) above the major source threshold for nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon
monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM10), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Table 3 summarizes the PTE at the MRGS.

Table 3: MRGS Facility-wide PTE
Emissions from the two (2) cold solvent cleaners and 2,704,880 gallon No. 2 fuel oil storage tank were not
included in this estimate. These sources would be additional sources of VOCs, for which the facility is already considered major. Emissions from the emergency fire pump engine also were not considered in
this estimation. As an emission source of the typical byproducts of combustion, the inclusion of the emergency fire pump engine would have no impact on the facility’s status as a Title V source for any of the
pollutants summarized in Table 3.
The MRGS is current with their fees. The status of their fees was checked on July 22, 2019. Figure 1 is a
screenshot from the Delaware Environmental Navigator (DEN) from this date which shows that the MRGS has made the required payments for each year dating back to 2013.

As mentioned before, there is also an emergency fire pump engine located at the MRGS. Historically, this
emission source has not been given its own designation, but is permitted under the “Facility Wide” section
of the permit. Regardless, this engine would also be considered an “insignificant activity” under Section 2.2 of Appendix A to 7 DE Admin. Code 1130 because it is an internal combustion engine which drives a
water pump during emergency operations.
EXISTING 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 PERMITS

Table 7: Existing 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 Permits
The permits shown in Table 7 are existing 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 permits for the MRGS. However, as
part of this renewal, I drafted amendments to the 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 permits shown in Table 7.
This includes Permits: APC-1981/1121-OPERATION (Amendment 5), APC-1981/1122-OPERATION (Amendment 1), APC-1981/1123-OPERATION (Amendment 1), and. The
requirements of these permits were amended with the intention of ensuring agreement with the renewed Title V permit.
REGULATORY REVIEW/TECHNICAL REVIEW/COMPLIANCE METHODOLOGY A regulatory review was conducted for each emission unit at the MRGS. The following sections focus on
the existing sections of the permit for the six (6) emission units at the MRGS, and on the changes required within each.
Emission Unit 3 (1,180 MMBTU/hr Riley Stoker Boiler) The changes made in this permit related to Emission Unit 3 are discussed in detail in the memo associated
with the amendment to the 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 permit for Emission Unit 3. Rather than rehash these details again, the following paragraphs summarize the changes made – starting with the section of
the permit focusing on particulate matter (PM) emissions from Emission Unit 3.
Particulate Matter (PM)
The first section of the portion of the permit focusing on Emission Unit 3 details the requirements related to PM. In this renewal, the emission standard for PM remains the same, but the language has changed
Review MEMORANDUM DRAFT/PROPOSED Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 4)
City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station June 17, 2020
Page 5
slightly to clarify the type of PM (filterable) that is being regulated.
In terms of emission limitations, the renewal has a couple of distinct changes from the existing permit. For one, the particulate emissions are no longer limited as an aggregate from Emission Units 1-3. Emission
Units 1 & 2 were retired from service in June of 2017 and have been removed from the permit. This same change applies to the emission limitations for all pollutants for which Emission Unit 3 is regulated since
they were previously based on combined emissions from emissions from all three (3) of the boilers.
With that being said, the numerical value for the twelve (12) month emission limitation for PM is increasing
from 51.75 to 54.85 tons due to a change in the emission factor used to calculate the particulate matter emitted from Emission Unit 3. The new emission factors consider both condensable and filterable
particulate matter emissions, whereas the emission factor used in the existing permit only considered
filterable particulate emissions. This increase is only numerical. There has been no relaxation of limitations or standards that would allow for an actual increase in emissions.
Moving on, the language within the compliance methodology section was tweaked to require subsequent
stack testing for PM for the life of the Emission Unit, and to provide specific guidance on the Department’s expectation in terms of the calculation of PM10 emissions. The monitoring section language was also
modified to remove reference to the ash reinjection system, achievement of pilot ignition, ash level in the
multicyclone hopper, and the pressure differentials across the separator/collector. These requirements were acknowledged as no longer being necessary in amendments made to the Title V and 7 DE Admin.
Code 1102 permits between 2009 and 2010, but inadvertently remained in the Title V permit. The testing and recordkeeping sections of the permit were modified to correspond with the above changes.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) For the section of the permit devoted to Emission Unit 3 SO2 emissions, the proposed twelve (12) month
emission limitation is decreasing substantially. This is partly because the limitation no longer includes cumulative emissions from Emission Units 1-3, but more importantly, because it considers the drop in No. 2
fuel oil sulfur content. The emission limitation is proposed to decrease from 400 tons to 3.88 tons on a
rolling twelve (12) month basis. As a result, the MRGS is no longer considered a Title V source for emissions of SO2.
Going along with the emission limitation decrease, the standard on the sulfur content of No. 2 fuel oil has
been updated to the 15 ppm standard established by 7 DE Admin. Code 1108. Recent inspections have verified that the MRGS has been receiving fuel oil with a sulfur content of 15 ppm, but the permit had not
been amended to explicitly require it.
The previous restriction that No. 2 fuel oil could only be combusted as a backup/emergency fuel has also
been removed. I believe this restriction was mistakenly included as a way to avoid subjection to Subpart JJJJJJ (6J) to 40 CFR Part 63, with which Emission Unit 3 is already exempt since it does not meet the
definition of an industrial, commercial, or institutional boiler as the terms are defined in §63.11237.
Emission Unit 3 combusts natural gas when it is available and is already restricted in the volume of No. 2 fuel oil which can be combusted under Subpart UUUUU (5U) to 40 CFR Part 63.
The subsection of the permit focusing on compliance methods was also amended in this renewal in order
to clarify the Department’s compliance expectations. The testing and recordkeeping sections were also amended to correspond to the previous emission limitations, operating limitations, and associated methods
of demonstrating compliance.

City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station June 17, 2020

Visible Emissions The structure of this section was modified in this renewal, but the requirements are unchanged. For
example, the same opacity standards apply as does the requirement to operate a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) at all times and pursuant to the applicable requirements of Appendix B of 40
CFR Part 60. Just as with the preceding sections, the proposed language in the compliance method section is more specific about the steps and information required to determine compliance status than was the
previous permit. The monitoring and recordkeeping subsections were also amended to correspond to the
associated limitations.
Nitrogen Oxide Emissions Minor changes were made to the section of the permit focusing on Emission Unit 3 NOX emissions. First of
all, the calendar-day 0.307 lbs NOX/MMBTU standard was moved from the emission limitation section to
the emission standard section. The existing limitations which restrict NOX emissions to 244 tons per rolling twelve (12) month period and 2.93 tons per calendar-day during the ozone control period remain
unchanged.
There are a few proposed changes to the operating limitations section of the permit. The first couple conditions, regarding the continuous operation of NOX control equipment (low NOX burner, low excess air,
& overfire air system) and a NOX CEMS, will remain in this section, but with a slight change in language. In
response to the Regional Haze Rule initiative currently being spearheaded by Renae Held, the requirement to not only operate, but also maintain this equipment in accordance with manufacturer recommendations
has been included. The remaining requirements from this section have been rearranged. For example:
The requirement that the GCV of fuel oil samples be available within thirty (30) calendar-days was moved to the section focusing on SO2 emissions since its inclusion was a more natural fit there
with the other fuel sampling and testing requirements focusing on fuel sulfur content.
The requirement focusing on the calibration of in-line fuel flow meters was also moved to the
section of the permit focusing on SO2 emissions as a method of demonstrating compliance with
the operational limitation to combust only natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil in Emission Unit 3.
The existing condition focusing on the replacement of the 0.307 lb NOX/MMBTU standard was
removed from the permit for several reasons: o The permit language was unclear as to how or when the replacement of this standard
should occur. o The data collected by the Department during annual inspections and records reviews has
not shown that NOX emissions are well below the current standard. o Additional NOX control technology would likely need to be installed and operated in order
for Emission Unit 3 to meet a reduced standard. o There are no other applicable regulatory requirements which would provide a basis for
further reduction on the existing standard. o Emission Unit 3 at the MRGS is currently scheduled for decommissioning in June of 2021,
and any further reduction of the NOX standard would not likely provide long-term benefit to the environment.
The requirement regarding the need for a corrective action plan if calendar-day NOX emissions
from Emission Unit 3 exceed the 2.93-ton limit during the ozone control period was moved to the compliance methodology subsection as a corrective action in the case that compliance with this
limit is not achieved. As was the case for the preceding sections, the compliance methodology, monitoring, and recordkeeping sections were amended to correspond to the applicable emission and operational standards and limitations.
The only notable difference in these sections, is that the threshold related to the requirement to report
Review MEMORANDUM DRAFT/PROPOSED Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 4)
City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station June 17, 2020
Page 7
excess emissions has been lowered from 0.50 lb NOX/MMBTU on an average, rolling twenty-four hour basis to 0.307 lb NOX/MMBTU over the same time period. It was not clear to me why the reporting threshold
was set at 0.50 lbs/MMBTU, but I speculate that the higher value may have been a prior emission standard, and the language was not modified to reflect the lower standard.
Other Criteria Pollutants
The fifth section of the permit focuses on “Other Criteria Pollutants” such as carbon monoxide (CO) and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this section of the permit, the twelve (12) month emission limitation for CO is remaining the same, but the emission limitation for VOCs is decreasing from 23.15 tons
to a mere 6.66 tons over the same twelve (12) month period. Aside from that decrease, the only notable difference in this section is that the compliance method subsection includes specific instruction on the
calculation of CO and VOC emissions from Emission Unit 3.
Allowable Operating Scenarios
The final section of the permit under Emission Unit 3 is titled “Allowable Operating Scenarios” since it details the two (2) different scenarios under which Emission Unit 3 may operate. This section is new to the
permit.
The first operating scenario is allowable under the existing permit – operation as a “natural gas-fired
electric utility steam generating unit”. Operation under this scenario allows Emission Unit 3 to remain exempt from the requirements of Subpart 5U to 40 CFR Part 63 so long as the heat input contributed by
the combustion of No. 2 fuel oil does not exceed 10.0% of the average annual heat input contributed by the combustion of all fuels over the previous three (3) calendar years or 15.0% of the annual heat input
contributed by the combustion of all fuels over any single calendar year.
The City of Dover requested, and I am proposing approval for, the flexibility to operate under the “limited-
use liquid oil-fired subcategory” of Subpart 5U to 40 CFR Part 63 should this become necessary. This flexibility will allow Emission Unit 3 to combust No. 2 fuel oil during the winter months when natural gas
may not be available without needing to unnecessarily combust additional natural gas during the summer
months to meet the heat input ratio required to remain exempt from Subpart 5U. With that being said, the permit has included the requirements and conditions that would apply if the MRGS decides to operate
Emission Unit 3 as a unit subject to the Subpart 5U requirements.
The compliance methodology, monitoring, and recordkeeping sections were modified to correspond to the requirements for each of the operating scenarios. Further information on the requirements of this section,
and all preceding sections, can be found in the memorandum corresponding to Permit: APC-
1981/1121-OPERATION (Amendment 5).
Emission Units 4 & 5 (Two (2) 13.39 MMBTU/hr Natural Gas-Fired Hot Water Boilers) In the existing Title V permit, there is only one section focusing on the operation of the two (2) hot water
boilers at the MRGS. In this renewal, I am proposing three (3) separate sections – the first of which being
a section focused on the emission of criteria pollutants.
Criteria Pollutants This section of the permit replaces the section of the existing permit, which focused on PM emissions, but
still includes those relevant requirements. Some notable changes made in this section:
The removal of the emission standard from 7 DE Admin. Code 1104; and
The addition of emission limitations for each of the primary pollutants emitted from fuel combustion – SO2, NOX, CO, PM10, and VOCs.
While the emission standard from 7 DE Admin. Code 1104 (0.3 lb PMFilt/MMBTU) applies to these boilers,
Review MEMORANDUM DRAFT/PROPOSED Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 4)
City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station June 17, 2020
Page 8
it seemed unnecessary to include it in the permit because the proposed PM10 emission limitation, which includes emissions of filterable and condensable (PM) emissions (7 DE Admin. Code 1104 only focuses on
filterable PM emissions) is based on an emission factor of 7.6 lbs PM10/MMSCF (which equates to roughly 0.007 lbs PM10/MMBTU, assuming a heating value of 1,050 MMBTU/MMSCF for natural gas). Furthermore,
there are no regulatory or permit requirements which would necessitate the testing or monitoring of exhaust gas from the hot water boilers to confirm that the boilers are meeting the standard.
The only new items for this section are the new emission limitations, and the corresponding requirement to calculate these emissions based on AP-42 emission factors. The emissions from the hot water boilers are
already calculated for the purposes of the annual emission inventory. Requiring this calculation as part of the Title V permit should not represent an additional burden.
Opacity This is another new section related to Emission Units 4 & 5. While the opacity standard was previously in
place for the entire facility, there were no direct observation requirements for these boilers. I am proposing the requirement to conduct quarterly qualitative visible emission observations. To demonstrate
compliance with this requirement, the results of the observations shall be recorded.
The reasoning for this addition is fairly straight-forward. Inspections of the MRGS are generally conducted
during the summer months when Emission Unit 3 is expected to operate. Unfortunately, the hot water boilers do not operate during this time of year. Since the Department is generally not on-site at the time
of year to conduct observations, the quarterly opacity observation simply requires an onlooker to observe and confirm that the boilers are not producing opacity. Reference Method 9 certification is not necessary.
If opacity is observed, the permit instructs the observer to initiate and record corrective action taken in
response to the observed opacity.
General Equipment Operation/Maintenance The final section related to Emission Units 4 & 5 covers the topic of general operation and maintenance .
While this section is new, the requirements have always applied even if they’ve been located elsewhere in
the permit. Corresponding compliance methodology, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements were also included in this section.
Emission Units 6 & 7 (Two (2) Cold Solvent Cleaners)
Like the existing permit, the renewal permit is proposed to have only a single section related to the operation of the cold solvent cleaners on site. There are no noteworthy modifications to this section of the
permit.
Emission Unit 8 (2,704,800 Gallon No. 2 Fuel Oil Storage Tank)
Like the existing permit, the renewal permit is proposed to have only a single section related to the operation of the No. 2 fuel oil storage tank at the MRGS. There are no noteworthy modifications to this
section of the permit.
Facility Wide
Like the existing permit, the renewal permit is proposed to have six (6) sections under the “Facility Wide” heading – the first of which being a section focused on the disposal, handling, and storage of VOCs.
Disposal, Handling, and Storage of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
This section of the permit focuses on requirements coming primarily from Section 8 of 7 DE Admin. Code
1124. The contents of this section have not been changed, although some of the permit language has been modified with the intent of providing greater direction.

City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station June 17, 2020

Visible Emissions
This section of the permit focuses on the prevention of visible emissions from permitted equipment at the MRGS. While visible emissions from Emission Units 3, 4, & 5 are regulated under their respective permit
sections, this section provides instruction for conducting informal observations of other equipment, such as the emergency fire pump engine, to ensure visible emissions do not occur elsewhere. There are no
requirements to document the informal observations, but there are requirements to correct and document
any instances where standard-exceeding opacity is observed.
Operations/Maintenance This section of the permit focuses on the operation and maintenance of permitted equipment at the MRGS,
especially as it relates to maintenance or operation that could have an impact on the generation and
release of pollutants to the air. The contents of this section have not been substantially changed. Similar to preceding sections, the changes made have been to include more specific direction on the Department’s
expectations as well as recordkeeping requirements.
Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings This section of the permit focuses on the application of architectural and industrial maintenance coatings at
the MRGS and originate from 7 DE Admin. Code 1141. The existing permit contains requirements from
this regulation which were last updated in November of 2006. Since then, this regulation was amended, and this renewal now contains the updated regulatory language from a December 2016 amendment. With
that being said, the requirements are not significantly different.
State Enforceable Only (Odors)
This section of the permit focuses on preventing the generation of odorous air pollutants from permitted equipment or other operations at the MRGS. Odorous conditions are not anticipated from site operations,
but in the case that they are detected, the owner or operator is responsible for taking corrective action in a timely manner and documenting the actions taken. There are no new requirements in this section.
Emergency Spark Ignition (SI) Fire Pump Engine (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ (4Z)) The final section of the “Facility Wide” portion of the permit focuses solely on the emergency fire pump
engine located at the MRGS. While the language and detailed compliance instructions were amended, the actual requirements have not changed.
7 DE Admin. Code 1136 – Acid Rain Program
In addition to the previously mentioned permit sections, Emission Unit 3 is also subject to the applicable
requirements of the Acid Rain Program which is regulated under Parts 72 through 78 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and incorporated by reference in 7 DE Admin. Code 1136. A permit
application for an Acid Rain Permit for Emission Unit 3 was received by the Department electronically on April 28, 2020. A final section of the permit references the Acid Rain Permit for Emission Unit 3 (Permit:
AQM-001/00002-IV (Renewal 4).
Permit Shield
In the permit application received in April 2017, the City of Dover provided an update of the regulatory requirements for which they were requesting a Permit Shield. Table 8 summarizes the regulatory
requirements for which a permit shield was granted.

Aside from the regulatory requirements summarized in Table 8, the City of Dover’s permit application also
requested a permit shield from the requirements of 40 CFR Part 72 through 75. Upon discussing this request with my manager, we agreed that this request was too broad for approval and have decided not
to grant a permit shield for the federal parts.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The draft/proposed permit and application will be advertised, beginning on Sunday, June 21, 2020, for a thirty (30) day public notice period. I recommend that the draft/proposed permit and associated
documents be sent to EPA’s Region III representatives by email to begin the review period for this Title V permit renewal. I also recommend that the draft/proposed permit be sent to the City of Dover so that
they may concurrently review the permit contents and provide any comments they feel are necessary. In
addition, I recommend that the Affected States be notified by email and provided with Sections A and B, which explain the draft/proposed permit.
The public comment period ends on July 21, 2020. The EPA’s 45-day review period will run concurrently
with the public comment period, and will end on August 5, 2020.

SUBJECT: Permit: AQM-001/00002 (Renewal 4) “Draft/Proposed” 7 DE Admin. Code 1130 Permit Renewal
Dear Ms. Mitchell:
The Department has completed processing the City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station’s AQM-1001 series permit renewal applications that were submitted on April 21, 2017 and August 14, 2018, to the
Department pursuant to 7 DE Admin. Code 1130. The Department has reviewed the submitted information and has prepared the attached “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal satisfying the requirements of
7 DE Admin. Code 1130.
The attached “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal specifies the terms and conditions, Conditions 2 through 6,
under which the City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station will be permitted to operate the emission units listed in Condition 1. In addition to the emission units listed in Condition 1, the City of Dover McKee
Run Generating Station will be permitted to operate all activities with air emissions that are not listed in
Condition 1 and that are designated as insignificant activities under 7 DE Admin. Code 1130 or designated as trivial activities under Appendix “A” of the Department’s summary of the July 10, 1995, EPA
“White Paper for Streamlined Development of Part 70 Permit Applications,” notwithstanding 7 DE Admin. Code 1102.
The attached “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal covers only the operating permit requirements of 7 DE
Admin. Code 1102 and 1130. The attached “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal does not satisfy future
construction permit obligations. Prior to initiating any construction or modification activity the City of Dover McKee Run Generating Station must evaluate the applicability of, and, if required, secure necessary
construction permit(s) pursuant to 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 or 1125, and/or initiate necessary permit revision procedures pursuant to 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 and 1130.
The Department will public notice the “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal as required by 7 DE Admin. Code 1130, Section 7.10 in the Sunday News Journal and the Delaware State News on Sunday, June 21, 2020.
The public comment period will be no less than thirty (30) days in accordance with 7 DE Admin. Code 1130, Section 7.10.2. The public comment period ends July 21, 2020. Any comments should be brought
to the Department’s attention on or before July 21, 2020 and mailed to the following address:

The Department requests that you mail the original and one (1) copy if you submit comments. The “Draft/Proposed” permit is being submitted to EPA for concurrent processing. Please note that the EPA can comment during the 30 day public notice period and can approve or deny the permit during the entire 45 day EPA review period. The EPA review period ends on August 5, 2020. If the Department receives significant comments on the “Draft/Proposed” renewal permit, comments will be evaluated, responses will be prepared, and the renewal permit will be revised as necessary. The permit will then be submitted to you and the EPA as “Proposed” as a standard consecutive forty-five (45) day review period.

b. Compliance.
1. The Owner and/or Operator shall comply with all terms and conditions of this permit. Any noncompliance with this permit constitutes a violation of the applicable requirements under the
