  11. NGS PSD Permit Amendment

  12. Potential To Emit PTE assumes 8,760 hours/year at max rated capacity except for operating hour restriction Criteria air pollutants, HAPs AP 42, manufactures data, stack testing data, engineering judgment, material balance etc., Permit streamlining for emission limits PSD , FIP emission limits Major Source Determination PTE calculation should be included in the final permit and summary of emissions in Statement of Basis (SOB)
