| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing on a draft permit for Gateway Cogeneration 1, LLC to build the Smart Water Project; a combined-cycle combustion turbine facility in Prince George. The facility will be classified as a major source of air pollution and will be located on Chudoba Parkway, east of 295, one mile from the interchange with Rte. 460. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility are expected to be: 592,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, 48.8 tons of particulate matter, 49.8 tons of carbon monoxide, 39.0 tons of nitrogen oxides, 23.4 tons of volatile organic compounds, 7.8 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 0.6 tons of formaldehyde. The applicant proposes to use 10,100 million cubic feet of natural gas and 4.2 million gallons of ultra low sulfur diesel. 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. DEQ accepts comments and requests for Board consideration by 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. INFORMATION BRIEFING: An information briefing will be held before the public hearing beginning at 5:30 p.m. | |
