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 on February
21, 2022. The hearing was previously scheduled for January 25.
The comment period will be extended to February 24. The public is invited
to participate in the 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 (SOC). 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 Carolina Renewable Power -
