CRRA and Covanta Enter Consent Orders for Air Emissions ViolationsDate: Nov 16, 2009 Town: Hartford On November 16, 2009, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP) entered into consent orders with the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority (CRRA) and Covanta for cases involving air emissions violations at trash-to-energy plants in Wallingford and Hartford that will improve operating procedures at these facilities and provide funding for new municipal recycling initiatives. Covanta operates both facilities under contract with CRRA. The dioxin violations at the Wallingford plant were discovered during the facility’s annual performance tests conducted on May 23, 2007. Follow-up testing on October 9 and 10, 2007 showed that dioxin emissions from the plant were back within permitted limits. The consent order also addresses violations at this facility stemming from the failure to properly perform quarterly audits on the facility’s continuous emissions monitoring equipment during the third quarter of 2006. The consent order also requires CRRA to submit a report detailing the cause of the excessive dioxin emissions; conduct more frequent tests for dioxin emissions from 2009 through 2013; and to evaluate the environmental impact of the increased use of carbon to control dioxin emissions.
The violations at the Hartford (Mid- Connecticut) plant involved emissions in excess of the maximum allowable permit limits for particulate matter and ammonia. The violation of the particulate matter emissions limit was discovered June 13, 2007 and corrected by August 8, 2007. The May 4, 2007 emissions test showed emissions of particulate matter were 13% higher than the permit limit. The violation of the ammonia emissions limit was discovered on June 17, 2008 and corrected by July 8, 2008. The May 5, 2008 test showed that ammonia emissions were 12.25% higher than the permit limit. The violations were discovered through emissions testing mandated by CTDEP. The consent order for the Wallingford plant includes a payment of $355,000 to a CTDEP fund for environmental projects as the result of a violation of permit limits for dioxin emissions at the Wallingford facility. These funds will be used to assist municipalities in strengthening recycling programs, which will save money for cities and towns by reducing their costs for refuse disposal. The consent order for the Hartford plant includes a provision for installing a new system to provide continuous monitoring of ammonia emissions. The system is expected to cost approximately $70,000. The presence of ammonia in the air contributes to the formation of fine particulate matter, a federally regulated air pollutant.
The new system will be the first of its kind at a Connecticut trash-to-energy facility and surpasses the monitoring and testing requirements for facilities like the Mid-Connecticut Project. The monitoring system at the Mid-Connecticut Project will provide continuous real time data concerning ammonia emissions to ensure compliance with permit limits. It will help provide opportunities to minimize ammonia emissions and PM2.5 emissions in the ambient air.
