The Dan
River permit allows Duke Power to burn mineral
oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB).
The Title V permit states that total PCB content
shall not exceed 500 ppm and that, "Total
maximum boiler injection rate shall not exceed 10
percent of the total fuel feed rate."
Mineral oil may be burned at one unit at a time.
