Source: NCDEQ, 12/16/21 The N.C. Department of
Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) will host a remote public
hearing on a draft permit for the North Carolina Renewable Power facility in
Lumberton. The public is invited to participate in the January 25, 2022
hearing online or by phone. The facility has applied for a permit
modification to implement a boiler maintenance project and to meet the
requirements of a 2017 Special Order by Consent. The
facility currently holds a Title V permit and burns wood, poultry cake, and
poultry litter in two boilers to generate steam that is used to generate
electricity in the existing turbine. Under the current operating permit,
the facility has been classified as a minor source based on accepted,
enforceable limits of 250 tons per year for multiple pollutants regulated under
the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. The draft permit
reclassifies the facility as a PSD major source to reflect the current
emissions, operating scenarios, and additional boiler modifications and
requires the facility to implement Best Available Control Technology on its
boilers and other emission sources. Event title: North
