The draft RENEWAL Operating Permit for Milford Power, LLC, is being issued in accordance with 310 CMR 7.00: Appendix C(6). Since the initial Operating Permit was issued in 2004, there have been several changes to the facility’s processes and emissions. These changes include, but are not limited to, increases in facility-wide rolling 12-month sulfur dioxide and particulate matter emission limits. The facility has decreased facility-wide rolling 12-month carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, and nitrogen dioxide emission limits.
The purpose of the Operating Permit is to codify all of the facility's applicable requirements under the state and federal Clean Air Act, including monitoring, record keeping requirements and emission limitations, into a renewable Operating Permit. This action is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as stated in its final rule approving the Department's Operating Permit program (Federal Register Vol. 61, No. 95 Wednesday May 15, 1996).
