Schedule - Air Quality Test Report Submittal

Automated summary of the linked document above. This summary and any key data point below are machine-generated and may contain errors. Consult the source document before relying on them.

EGLE's Air Quality Division notified the testing contractor (Impact C&T) that a due date for the Arbor Hills Landfill flare emissions test report correction will be pushed back while EGLE consults internally. The underlying dispute concerns whether NOx emission rates from multiple enclosed flares should be summed as unit-based rates (lb/MMBtu), which the contractor argues is scientifically incorrect since such rates are not additive. The permitted NOx limit for the enclosed flares (FGENCLOSEDFLARES-S2) is cited as 0.060 lb/MMBtu.

Key data point: Permitted NOx emission rate for FGENCLOSEDFLARES-S2 is 0.060 lb/MMBtu; EGLE is delaying the due date for a requested test-report correction (submission HQR-1YG2-3TC95).
