摘要

This notice announces that on October 13, 2010, the EPA issued a determination that the proposal to modify the Encina Power Station is not subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit program under the Clean Air Act (CAA). This modification is for constructing the Carlsbad Energy Center Project, a proposed natural gas-fired power plant, at the existing Encina Power Station in the city of Carlsbad in San Diego County, California. EPA reviewed applicability for the criteria pollutants expected to be affected by the modification, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulates, volatile organic compounds, and sulfur oxides.
