NOx Settlement
![Page 4: Mirant Mid-Atlantic MWAQC Technical Advisory Committee Briefing January 21, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae6459/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Key Elementsof Mid-Atlantic Global NOx Settlement
Control Technology to be Installed– Potomac River 3,4,5 – Low NOx Burners in 2004, SOFA in 2005– Morgantown 1,2 – SCRs in 2007, 2008
Declining NOx Tonnage Caps from 2004 through 2010– Ozone Season Caps – for Potomac River and System– Annual Caps – for System
Emissions Rate Limits– Ozone Season System limit of 0.150 lb/MBtu starting in 2008– Morgantown SCRs limit of 0.100 year-round, once installed
Penalty and Projects– Cash payment of $500,000– Supplemental Projects totaling $1.0 M to reduce dust and particulate matter
emissions at the site

Benefits of Settlement
Resolves Potomac River NOV Achieves 0.15 lb/MBtu system NOx average by 2008 Year-round SCR operation will reduce PM2.5 emissions Emission caps ensure environmental benefit while
allowing flexibility over methods to reach compliance targets
When paired with future SO2 controls, significant Hg and additional PM2.5 reductions

Current NOx Projects
Chalk Point Unit #2 SACR Morgantown #1 SCR Potomac River #3-5 SOFA
![Page 12: Mirant Mid-Atlantic MWAQC Technical Advisory Committee Briefing January 21, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae6459/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Chalk Point #2 SACR
SACR = Selective Auto-Catalytic Reduction Injects ammonia + natural gas in convection pass of
boiler Gas acts as catalyst for NOx reduction and consumes
excess ammonia Expecting ~50% reduction in NOx In final engineering / procurement phase Reagent switch from anhydrous ammonia to urea System in service late 2005 / early 2006

Multipollutant Legislation
![Page 19: Mirant Mid-Atlantic MWAQC Technical Advisory Committee Briefing January 21, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dfe5503460f94ae6459/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Multipollutant Legislation Cap & Trade approach vs. Percent Reduction Realistic Timeline to Implement
– Technical: Time to engineer, procure, and install– Financial: Cost of NOx, SO2, & Hg controls simultaneously– Alignment with Federal programs
Mercury– Substantial Co-benefits from NOx & SO2 controls– No large scale / long term demonstrations yet– Continuous Hg monitors not commercially available
CO2– Few options for significant reduction on coal-fired units– Fuel switch / repowering to gas costly to customer and generator
