(1) An application must include a list of any
reports, documents, studies, or calculations that indicate that the preliminary
design specifications and performance objectives for the major components or
process areas of the facility are adequate and can be maintained in the
continuous operation of the facility. Design peak operating volume or rate must be described, including the length
of time the various levels of peak operation can be sustained.
(2) An application must identify design features
that were selected to reduce adverse environmental impacts.
(3) An application must describe any design
features that are oversized to accommodate future increases in plant capacity.
(4) The engineering description required by (1) of
this rule must include the following major facility components or process areas
as applicable: boilers, reactors, generators, condensers, shift conversion facilities,
cooling facilities, emission control devices, stacks, and catalyst production
and regeneration facilities.
(5) An application must contain a description of
associated facilities, including:
(a) a
description of any major existing or new transportation system or terminal that
would be used during the construction, operation, maintenance or
decommissioning of the proposed facility and an estimate of the type, duration,
and intensity of that use;
(b) a description meeting the requirements of ARM
17.20.1509 and 17.20.1510, for facilities of 230 kV and larger; for power lines
smaller than 230 kV, a general description of the components listed in ARM
17.20.1509 is sufficient;
(c) communication installations;
(d) the proposed source of the fuel to be used by
the facility and, if applicable, alternative fuel sources consistent with department
Circular MFSA-1, Section 3.11, and a description of equipment and portions of
the site that will be used to store, prepare and transfer the fuel to the point
of consumption;
(e) all sources of water to be used by the
facility, structures that would pump, convey, store, or treat the water,
proposed drainage or flood control structures, and a description of the
processes used to deliver water to and discharge water from the site, including
operation and monitoring plans for water-supply reservoirs, ponds, and
other diversions for municipal or industrial use;
(f) all waste-handling systems, both on and
off-site, including a description of the collection, storage, treatment,
disposal processes and monitoring procedures and plans for each system,
consistent with the requirements of ARM 17.20.1504(5) (Operation and
Maintenance Analysis) ;
(g) any other permanent structures or
installations, and temporary structures or installations, both on- and
off-site, that would be used only
during the construction phase; and
(h) for water and fuel pipelines, a description
meeting the requirements of ARM 17.20.1509 and 17.20.1511.
(6) An application must contain a map, in an electronic format acceptable to the department,
showing the proposed location of all facility structures
and nonlinear associated facilities at or associated with the proposed
site.
