| 01-7399 | Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Georgia-Pacific Corporation's Facility in Big Island, VA | Rule | Under the Project XL program, the EPA is supporting a project for the Georgia-Pacific Corporation facility located in Big Island, Virginia. The terms of the project are defined in the "Georgia-Pacific Corporation Big Island, Virginia Project XL Final Project Agreement" (FPA). The EPA is issuing this rule, applicable only to the Georgia-Pacific Big Island facility, to help implement the project. Under the terms of the FPA, Georgia-Pacific will install and operate the first commercial scale, black liquor gasification system in the United States. Use of this system will provide superior air emissions reductions and energy benefits compared to the use of conventional technology for recovering pulping chemicals from black liquor wastes in the pulp and paper industry. Once installed and successfully operating, the black liquor gasification system is expected to easily meet emission standards that apply (specifically the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills, promulgated in the Federal Register on January 12, 2001 (66 FR 3179)). However, since the system will be the first demonstrated on a commercial scale in the United States, there is some risk that it ultimately will not operate successfully. If this event occurs, Georgia-Pacific may require temporary relief from the otherwise applicable emissions standards. Without this relief, Georgia-Pacific would not proceed to commercialize the gasification technology. This action provides a limited extension to the date of compliance with the standards for the Big Island facility if the system is not successful. | 2001-03-26 | 2001 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/03/26/01-7399/project-xl-site-specific-rulemaking-for-georgia-pacific-corporations-facility-in-big-island-va | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-03-26/pdf/01-7399.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Under the Project XL program, the EPA is supporting a project for the Georgia-Pacific Corporation facility located in Big Island, Virginia.
