Acid Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program--Permit 
Modification for Alternative Emission Limitation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of permit modification adopting Alternative Emission 
Limitation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, EPA established the Acid 
Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program to reduce the adverse 
effects of acidic deposition. EPA adopted nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) emission limits and issued permits to affected 
sources. EPA is issuing an Acid Rain permit modification for one unit. 
The permit modification adds to a permit an Alternative Emission 
Limitation for NOX emissions for a Phase I unit in 
accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations. The Alternative 
Emission Limitation is less stringent than the standard limit for this 
type of unit but is the minimum rate that the unit can achieve during 
long-term dispatch operation with low NOX burners.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
permit modification, except information protected as confidential, may 
be viewed during normal operating hours at the following location: EPA 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 18th floor, Chicago, IL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Siepkowski, EPA Region 5, (312) 
353-2654.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In today's action, EPA is issuing permit 
modification that adds to a permit an Alternative Emission Limitation 
for NOX emissions for a Phase I unit in accordance with 
parts 72 and 76 of the Acid Rain Program regulations. The unit 
involved, J.H. Campbell, Unit 1, is in Ottawa County, Michigan and will 
be required to meet an annual average emissions limit for 
NOX of 0.49 lb/mmBtu, instead of the otherwise applicable 
standard limit of 0.45 lb/mmBtu. The unit's designated representative 
is William M. Ritchie.
