## Summary

Buckeye Power, Inc. and Cardinal Operating Company violated the 1.2 lb/TBtu 30-day rolling average emission limit for mercury outlined in NESHAP Subpart UUUUU and the Title V permit for the Brilliant, Ohio facility. The violation of the 30-day rolling average emission limit occurred in the Unit 3 coal boiler from December 26, 2021 to January 24, 2022. This ACO requires Cardinal to operate and maintain its coal-fired boilers at all times in accordance with a newly developed mercury management plan (attached to the ACO), and to provide mercury emissions information to the EPA. Cardinal must submit daily 30-boiler operating day rolling average Hg emissions rate (lb/TBtu) at the end of each quarter, and, if any deviation occurred, provide a brief description of the deviation, the duration of the deviation, and the cause of the deviation.

There is a concurrent CAFO requiring Cardinal to pay a penalty of $112,621.
