NAC445B.3681. New or modified thermal unit that emits mercury: Contents of required application.  


Latest version.
  • An application for a mercury operating permit to construct or an application for a revision of a mercury operating permit to construct for a new thermal unit that emits mercury or a modified thermal unit that emits mercury must include, without limitation:

         1. Information to identify the applicant, including the name and address of the company or the name and address of the plant if different from that of the company, the name of the owner of the company and the owner’s agent, and the name and telephone number of the manager of the plant or another appropriate person to contact;

         2. An identification of each thermal unit that emits mercury;

         3. A description of the fuels, fuel use and raw materials to be used and the rates of production and operating schedules for each thermal unit that emits mercury which is a part of the stationary source;

         4. Limitations on the operation of the stationary source or any standards for work practices which affect emissions of mercury at the stationary source;

         5. The location of any records that the applicant must keep pursuant to the requirements of the mercury operating permit to construct, if the records are kept at a location other than the emitting stationary source;

         6. An analysis conducted by the applicant which:

         (a) Determines the standards, methods of control or other limitations to be applied to the thermal unit for the reduction of mercury emissions that the applicant deems sufficient for the Director to determine to be NvMACT for the thermal unit that emits mercury; and

         (b) Sets forth a list of similar thermal units that emit mercury which are used for precious metal mining that includes, without limitation:

              (1) Any methods or technologies to control mercury emissions which are associated with the thermal units that emit mercury;

              (2) The level of mercury emissions associated with each method or technology to control mercury emissions from the thermal units that emit mercury;

              (3) The design for each method or technology to control mercury emissions from the thermal units that emit mercury;

              (4) Costs associated with reductions of mercury emissions as a result of each method or technology to control mercury emissions from the thermal units that emit mercury;

              (5) Costs associated with energy for each method or technology to control mercury emissions from the thermal units that emit mercury; and

              (6) Consistent with section 112(d)(2) of the Act, any nonair quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements for each method or technology to control mercury emissions from the thermal units that emit mercury; and

         7. Other specific information that the Director determines is necessary to carry out, enforce and determine the applicability of all legal requirements.
