This document is a Permit to Install (PTI) No. 79-10 issued by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment's Air Quality Division to the Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw, Michigan on May 6, 2010. The permit authorizes the installation of three key emission units: three 10.4 MMBtu/hr natural gas fired steam boilers (with No. 2 fuel oil backup) and one 750 kW diesel fuel/No. 2 fuel oil fired generator for emergency backup and peak shaving power production.

The permit specifies detailed emission limits, material restrictions, and operational requirements for these units. For the boilers, key restrictions include burning pipeline quality natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.50% by weight, limiting No. 2 fuel oil usage to 18,000 gallons per 12-month period, and maintaining NOx emissions within specified thresholds. For the generator, fuel requirements include maximum sulfur content and aromatic content limitations, with different standards applying before and after October 1, 2010. The permit mandates monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements to ensure compliance with air quality regulations.
