| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing on a draft construction permit for Renewable Development, LLC to construct the INGENCO Bristol Plant; a landfill gas to electricity generating facility using compression ignition engines fueled with diesel fuel and landfill gas to generate a gross electrical output capacity of approximately 6.3 megawatts. The proposed facility will be classified as a major source of air pollution. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility under the proposed permit are expected to be: 28.8 tons per year (tpy) of total particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10), 28.8 tpy of total particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), 145.2 tpy of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 240 tpy of carbon monoxide (CO), 55.35 tpy of volatile organic compounds (VOC), and 2.5 tpy of sulfur dioxide (SO2). The applicant proposes to operate no more than 500 hours per year on diesel or biodiesel fuel with the remaining fuel requirement coming from landfill gas. The technologies that will be used to control the air pollution from the facility are turbocharging, aftercooling, air-to-fuel ratio control, enhanced tuning techniques, combustion control and good combustion practices. The applicant conducted a dispersion modeling analysis of proposed emissions of nitrogen dioxide, PM10, PM2.5 and CO. Results of the analysis demonstrate compliance with applicable national ambient air quality standards.
