The Washington State Capitol Campus relies on several boilers for heat and diesel-fired engines for emergency power at the Washington State Capitol Campus (Capitol Campus) in Olympia, Washington. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) is requesting a voluntary limit on oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from these boilers and emergency engines to establish the Capitol Campus as a minor source with respect to the Washington State Operating Permit Regulation in Chapter 173-401 WAC.
ORCAA reviewed DES’s request and concludes that compliance with applicable air regulations and standards will likely be maintained. On this basis, ORCAA recommends that DES’s request to establish a voluntary limit on NOx emissions be conditionally approved.
