| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The mercury emissions from a coal-fired power plant are the result of the mercury content in the coal that is burned and the extent that processes in the boiler prevent the mercury from being released with the exhaust gases of the power plant. Mercury can be removed from the coal prior to combustion of the coal. This may be achieved by coal cleaning or by some other treatment of the coal. Or, mercury can be removed from the boiler flue gases by air pollution control (APC) equipment. Sometimes the APC equipment that removes the mercury is equipment that is installed primarily to remove other pollutants, such as particle matter (PM) or acid gases in a flue gas desulfurization system (FGD). These are called co-benefit mercury removal. Mercury may also be removed by pollution control systems that are specifically designed to remove mercury from the flue gases. | | | | Date Created: | 02 09 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042564 Original UID: 22071 FIRST WORD: Technology | |
| 2: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 December 18 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report provides the basis for recommendations by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for attainment nonattainment designation boundaries for all areas in the State of Illinois for the 24-hour PM2.5 standard. Based on the most recent three years of ambient monitoring data (2004-2006), only three counties in Illinois are currently violating the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, Cook, Will and Madison counties. Based on an analysis of the factors contained in federal guidance, the IEPA is recommending that portions of the Chicago and Metro-East metropolitan areas be designated as nonattainment for the 24-hour PM2.5 standard. The recommended boundaries also reflect U.S. EPA guidance to show that: 1) violations are not occurring in the excluded portions of the recommended area and 2) the excluded portions do not contain emission sources that contribute to the observed violations. The remaining areas of Illinois should be classified as attainment areas for the PM2.5 standard. | | | | Date Created: | 12 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | AQPSTR 07-04 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000012648 Original UID: 6619 FIRST WORD: Technical | |

| 4: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2010 September 30 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The purpose of this document is to describe Illinois approach for meeting the BART requirements for emission sources in Illinois that have been shown to be BART-eligible. Technical analyses conducted by the Illinois EPA have shown that certain BART-eligible sources in Illinois are causing or contributing to visibility impairment in several Class I areas in the eastern United States, including Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, the Mingo Wilderness Area in Missouri, Isle Royale National Park in Michigan, and others. Illinois is therefore required to submit revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) to require that subject emission sources install cost effective retrofit control technologies or provide equivalent emission reductions. | | | | Date Created: | 09 30 2010 | | | | Agency ID: | AQPSTR 09-06 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042586 Original UID: 22104 FIRST WORD: Technical | |
