<font style="font-size:13px;"><p>The purpose of this application is to request changes to the authorized discharge of air contaminants from UBC’s combined heating and power facility located at 2337 Lower Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4. UBC is currently operating under permit GVA1047.</p>
<p>The facility uses renewable & conventional natural gas and clean wood waste (biomass) to generate electricity and thermal energy to heat campus buildings. The request is to remove biomass use from an internal combustion engine (ES03) and replace with natural gas/renewable natural gas mix for better operability and to remove a biomass dryer. In addition to the above, UBC is adding a new 12 MW biomass boiler to provide additional heat and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which they propose be regulated under MVRD Boiler and Heaters Regulation Bylaw No. 1087.</p>
</font><p>While the requested emissions under permit GVA1047 decrease, the total proposed facility emissions increase when the 12 MW biomass boiler is included. The potential effects of theproposed emissions on ambient air quality were assessed using a dispersion model in accordance with an approved model plan.
