## A. **APPLICABILITY**

Rule 3.22 This rule applies to all stationary internal c ombustion

engines with rated break br ak e horsepower greater than or equal

to fifty ( > 50 bhp) used in industrial, institutional, and

commercial operations that operate within the boundaries of the

District.

**B. EXEMPTIONS** 

B.1 This

B.1 The provisions of this r ule shall not apply to the

following:

a. The operation of any engine while being used to preserve

or protect property, human life, or public health during

the existence of a disaster or state of emergency, such

as a fire or flood;

b. Emergency standby engines whose total annual hours for

maintenance and testing purposes do not exceed 100 hours

as determined by a nonresettable non

- resettable hour

meter. Hours used specifically for emergencies shall not

be limited by this rule;

exceed 200 hours as determined by a nonresettable non

resettable hour meter;

Safety Code, Section 41751;

e. Engines used directly and exclusively for the growing of

crops or the raising of animals. This exemption does not

apply to any engine used at an agricultural source of

air pollution that emits in any 12

- month period air

emissions greater than or equal to 50% of the major

source thresholds for regulat ed air pollutants and/or

HAPs;

f. Engines operated exclusively in research or testing

programs;

D.2 F.1 Initial Compliance Demonstration : All

engines **DEMONSTRATION:** Each engine subject to meet the

emission limits of D.1 shall demonstrate initial

compliance. Initial compliance can be achieved by:

a. Conducting a source test on a unit

, the engine ; or ;

b. Providing the District with support documentation which

demonstrates that the engine is in compliance wi th the

emission limits of this R ule r ule

.

F.2 Initial Compliance Timeline : Initial **INITIAL COMPLIANCE**

**TIMELINE** : Each engine shall demonstrate i nitial

compliance shall be demonstrated no later than :

a. Two years after District adoption of this Rule for all

existing engines, or;

b. D.3 Ninety n inety (90) days after the date of initial

startup for all new engines.

**- GOING COMPLIANCE PROGRAM**  :

Upon successful demonstration of initial compliance, the

owner or operator shall demonstrate on

- going compliance as

followed:

a. All units Each engine shall be source tested at least

once every five (5) years, measured from the date of the

last source test showing compliance. If initial

compliance was satisfied without any source test data,

the unit engine shall be source tested no later than five

(5) years after the date of initial startup.

b. During any calendar year in which a source test is not

performed, the owner/operator shall use an emission

analyzer to take NOx, CO , and O 2 

## readings from the engine

to verify compliance with the applicable emission

limits.

1) 1. The analyzer shall be calibrated, maintained, and

operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s

specifications and recommendations.

2) 2. Analyzer test data point intervals shall be no

greater than five (5) minutes and data points shall

be averaged over no less than fifteen (15) minutes of

engine operation. Formatted: Outline numbered + Level: 2 +

portable analyzers for the measurement of oxides of

nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and oxygen which do not meet

the requirements of the test methods specified in this

section provided that evidence accompa nies each test

report that instrument operation conformed to

manufacturer’s recommendations and that the

instrument(s) used responded appropriately to

calibration gases both before and after testing, and

provided that measurements made by the methods speci fied

in this section shall be recognized as more reliable in

any dispute involving measurements made by different

methods. Evidence of instrument response stability shall
