Code 1102 construction permit (Permit: APC-2021/0073-CONSTRUCTION(NSPS)(GACT)(FE)) for the installation of one (1) emergency generator, rated 1,000 kW (1490 HP). The engine used in this generator set complies with U. S. EPA regulations under the provisions of 40 CFR 89, Non-Road Tier 2 emissions limits.

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-003/00279 (Renewal 4)) via an Administrative Amendment.

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 April 5, 2021.
