Approval of Regional Haze BART Alternative Measure: Washington

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) alternative measure for the BP Cherry Point Refinery located near Ferndale, Washington. The BART alternative measure increases the oxides of nitrogen (NO X ) emission limit from the R-1 HC Reactor Heater (R-1 Heater), a BART-eligible source currently subject to BART emission limits on NO X . To offset the increase in NO X emissions from this emission unit, the NO X emission limits on the 1st Stage Hydrocracker Fractionator Reboiler (R-1 Reboiler), also a BART-eligible source subject to BART emission limits on NO X , will be reduced. The net effect of these changes is a decrease of 10.4 tons per year (tpy) of allowable NO X emissions from sources subject to BART at the BP Cherry Point Refinery.
