| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing to receive comments on a draft permit modification to VEPCO's Brunswick County Electric Power Plant's Prevention of Significant Deterioration Permit. The facility will be classified as a major source of air pollution and will be located at 20100 Governor Harrison Parkway, Freeman, Virginia. The modification has increased permitted emissions of carbon monoxide by 120 tons/yr due to re-defining startup and shutdown parameters. Modeling has shown that the proposed project does not cause or significantly contribute to a predicted violation of any applicable NAAQS, Class I or Class II PSD increment. Air emissions from the facility and associated construction and industrial growth are not anticipated to adversely impact visibility, soils, or vegetation. The public comment period begins on December 10, 2014 and ends on January 27, 2015. An informational briefing will be held 1/2 hour prior to the public hearing (6:00 p.m.). 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. | |
