Ontario Power Generation Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)

This proposal is for an amendment to the Limited Operational Flexibility for Environmental Compliance Approval (air) No. 9277-ANDJ3R for Ontario Power Generation Inc., a waste management facility located in the Town of Kincardine, Ontario.

The emission sources from the manufacturing and associated processes that discharge to the air include:

• the two-stage thermal incinerator,
• baghouse dust collector,
• combustion chambers,
• standby generators, and
• ventilation exhaust from the lime silo and dry storage facility

The amendment includes the request for NO₂ and SO₂ exemptions for OPG Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) and the removal of negligible sources listed on the ECA, removal of requirement to submit written summary report (condition 6) and changes to the due date for ESDM report updates. There is no change to emissions sources or associated processes that discharge to the air.

Emissions to the air from this facility include:

• nitrogen oxides,
• chromium (hexavalent forms),
• hydrogen chloride,
• benzo(a)pyrene, and
• acrolein

The Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air), when issued, permits modifications to the facility subject to limits on operational flexibility that include a production limit for the facility to be specified on the Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air). The limited operational flexibility conditions have an expiry date. The company will be required to make an application for amendment at that time to renew these conditions.
