Notice is hereby given that Ameresco Delaware Energy LLC and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority having a facility at 29086 Landfill Lane, Georgetown, Delaware, have requested a federally enforceable 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 construction permit (Permit: APC-2025/0035-CONSTRUCTION (NSPS)(MACT)(MNSR)(FE)) for the installation of two (2) General Electric Jenbacher Model JGS 320GS-L.L landfill gas generators (one megawatt each). These landfill gas generators will replace Landfill Gas Generators 1 and 2 which have been removed from the facility. The generator emissions will remain unchanged and each unit will be permitted to emit 8.5 tons per year (TPY) of NO_X, 42.4 TPY of CO, 2.4 TPY of PM₁₀, 2.4 TPY of PM_2.5, 10.16 TPY of SO_X, 3.6 TPY of NMOC, and 11.4 TPY of HAPs by Permit: APC-2025/0035-CONSTRUCTION (NSPS)(MACT)(MNSR)(FE).

Upon completion of construction, the Department will incorporate the operating conditions and limits of the 7 DE Admin. Code 1102 Construction permit into the facility’s existing Title V permit (Permit: AQM-005/00258-Renewal 1) via an Administrative Amendment.

The application, the “draft/proposed” construction permit, all materials that the applicant has submitted (other than those granted confidential treatment under DNREC rules), and a copy or summary of other materials, if any, considered in preparing the “draft/proposed” permit may be reviewed upon request. The materials are posted at de.gov/dnrecnotices. To submit comments, for additional information or for information regarding how you can inspect the application materials, please contact Jennifer Childears at (302) 739‑9402 or jennifer.childears@delaware.gov.

The “draft/proposed” construction permit is being submitted to EPA for concurrent processing. If there are no significant comments, the “draft/proposed” construction permit will be issued as a final permit after the expiration of the EPA review period.

A public hearing on the above application will NOT be held unless the Secretary of DNREC receives a request for a hearing regarding that application within 30 days from the date of this notice, ending February 18, 2025. A request for a hearing shall be in writing. The request must also show a familiarity with the application and a reasoned statement of the permit’s probable impact.
