The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) proposes to issue an Owner Requested Limit (ORL) approval AQ0056ORL01 to TDX Adak Generating, LLC for the Adak Power Plant under Alaska Statute 46.14 and regulation 18 AAC 50.

Applicant: TDX Adak Generating, LLC

Location: 10284 Hillside Blvd. Adak, AK 99546; 51° 52’ 13.70’’ N, 176° 39’ 33.51’’ W

Activity: The operation of several diesel fired emission units. This public notice is for the draft ORL only.

Emissions: The potential to emit at the stationary source will not exceed 99 tons per year of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by limiting fuel consumption to 450,000 gallons in any 12 consecutive calendar months. This limit will also keep other regulated air pollutants below 100 tons per year. By limiting emissions, the stationary source avoids the requirement to obtain an air quality control operating permit under AS 46.14.130(b) and 18 AAC 50.326.

ADEC Preliminary Review: Based on review of the application, ADEC has made a preliminary decision to approve the ORL for the Adak Power Plant.
