“For example, if all 35 turbines run by XAI were using” add-on air pollution control technology “to achieve an NOX emission rate of 2 ppm, the XAI advisor agreed that it would be-” They would emit about 177 tonnes per year, which is currently unlike 1,200 to 2,100 tons. ,
Allegedly, all the active turbines of XAI continue to work without using the best available control technology “(BACT) and” there is no dispute “that Since XAI is not yet permission, it is not meeting the BACT requirements today, the letter said.
The letter states that failure in compliance with the BACT requirement of XAI is not only a clean air act violation on paper, but also contains adequate additional emissions in adequate amounts as a result of a significant and ongoing violation.
Additionally, XAI’s turbines are considered a dreaded air pollutant, a major source of formaldehyde, the letter said, with the start of the XAI operation, with “the ability to emit more than 16 tonnes” since the beginning of the XAI operation. The letter alleged, “XAI needed to conduct initial emissions tests for formaldehyde within 180 days of becoming a major source, but it appears that even one year after going to the memphis,” XAI has not conducted this test. ,
XAI’s permission is unclear terms
The NAACP and SELC suggested that XAI that is working under exemption may be “nonoden engine discount”. However, he alleged that XAI’s turbines do not qualify for that year exemption, and even if they did, no turbine will be certainly covered and allowed so far after a year.
“While some local leaders including Memphis Mayor and Shelby County Health Department have claimed that there is a ‘364-examination’ for XAI’s gas turbines, they have never been able to point to a specific discount that would apply on turbines on turbines on the XAI site,” SELC’s press release said.
