Bayer Material Science, LLC; New Martinsville Plant

• Source ID: 051-00009
• Series Number: 05100009 N 01
• City: New Martinsville
• County: Marshall
• Attainment Status: Attainment
• Strategy: Shutdown
• Pollutant: NO_x
• Non-Ozone Season: 3.07
• Ozone Season: 2.87
• Expiration Year: 10/5/2017
• Period Start: 1/1/2005
• Period End: 12/31/2006
• Source Description: Reformer Unit was permanently shut down on 10/5/2007.
• Activity Summary: These NO_x emission reductions were generated by Bayer as a result of permanently shutting down reformer units at the New Martinsville Plant. The reformer units were permanently shut down October 5, 2007, and shall be dismantled shortly. Baseline emission levels were established from 2005 to 2006. Baseline emissions were calculated by multiplying the fuel usage (combines total of FG1 and FG2 by AP-42 emission factor for NO_x, the resulting number was decreased by 60% to account for the bias. ERCs were reduced by 10% according to 45CSR28. Bayer voided construction permit R13-2649 for the reformer units.

Cytec Industries, Inc.

• Source ID: 073-00003
• Series Number: 07300003 2005 S 01
• City: Willow Island
• County: Pleasants
• Attainment Status: Attainment
• Strategy: Replacement
• Pollutant: SO₂
• Non-Ozone Season: 1,621.35
• Ozone Season: N/A
• Expiration Year: 12/31/2014
• Period Start: 1/1/2003
• Period End: 12/31/2004
• Source Description: Replaced 2 coal-fired and 1 gas-fired boiler with 2 new gas-fired or fuel oil-fired boilers which resulted in the ERC credit generation.
• Activity Summary: The SO₂ emission reductions were generated by Cytec as a result of replacing 2 coal-fired and 1 gas-fired boilers with 2 new gas/fuel oil-fired boilers which resulted in ERC credit generation at the Willow Island Plant. Two old coal-fired boilers were permanently removed on September 1, 2005, and one old gas-fired boiler was permanently removed on November 1, 2005. Baseline emission levels were established from 2003 to 2004. Baseline emissions were calculated by multiplying stack test derived emission factors for SO₂ emissions by coal usage and subtracting the estimated SO₂ emissions from new gas/fuel oil-fired boilers. SO₂ emissions for new boilers were estimated by using AP-42 factor, the resulting number was increased by 50% to account for the bias. ERCs were reduced by 10% according to 45CSR28. Cytec obtained permit R13-2560C to install the 2 new gas/fuel oil-fired boilers to replace the old boilers. The old boilers were shut down in September and November 2005. The old boilers have been permanently removed from service and will be dismantled in the future.

* These NO_x and SO₂ emission reductions were generated by VEPCO through permanent shutdown of their power plant at Bayard. NO_x and SO₂ were emitted primarily from two coal refuse fired boilers which were shut down. Baseline emissions were obtained by CEMs. ERC's were reduced by 10% per 45CSR28-11.1.a. Since the reductions were due to a shutdown, all of the emissions included in the baseline emissions levels were assumed to be reduced. All the associated permits are null and void.
