6.3.6.2 The units were produced by the same manufac turer, have the same model number or other manufacturer’s designati on in common, and have the same rated capacity and operat ing specifications;

6.3.6.3 The units are operated and maintained in a similar manner; and

6.3.6.4 At least 20% of the total number of units a re tested during each annual test cycle.

6.3.6.5 The District, based on documentation submit ted by the stationary

source:

6.3.6.5.1 Determines that the margin of compliance for the

identical units tested is significant and can be maintained on an on-going basis; or  
 11/14/13 6.3.6.5.2 Determines based on a review of sufficien t emissions data that, though the margin of compliance is not substantial, other factors allow for the determinat ion that the variability of emissions for identical tes ted units is low enough for confidence that the unteste d unit will be in compliance. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the following:

6.3.6.5.2.1 Historical records at the tested unit

showing consistent invariant load;

6.3.6.5.2.2 Fuel characteristics yielding low

variability and therefore assurance that

emissions will be constant and below allowable levels;

data set demonstrating sufficiently low variability to convey assurance that the margin of compliance, though small, is

reliable.

6.3.6.6 Should any of the representative units exce ed the required emission limits, or if the District notifies the op erator that the criteria in Sections 6.3.6.1 through 6.3.6.5 have n ot been fulfilled, each of the units in the group shall ind ividually demonstrate compliance by emissions testing. Failu re to complete emissions testing within 90 days of the fa iled test shall result in the untested units being in violation of this rule. After compliance with the requirements of this section ha s been demonstrated, subsequent source testing shall be pe rformed pursuant to Sections 6.3.2 or 6.3.6.

8.0 Alternative Emission Control Plan (AECP)

An operator may comply with the NOx emission requir ements of Section 5.2 for a group of engines by meeting the requirements below. An operator that is subject to the requirements below shall also comply with all the a pplicable requirements of Sections 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0. Only engines subject to Section 5.2 are eligible for inclusion in an

AECP.

8.1 During any seven (7) consecutive calendar day p eriod, the operator shall operate all engines in the AECP to achieve an actual aggreg ate NOx emission level that is not greater than 90 percent of the NOx emissions th at would be obtained by controlling the engines to comply individually with the NOx limits in Section 5.2. The operator shall operate engines in the AECP such that   11/14/13 AE Actual ≤ 0.90 (AE Limit )

and shall notify the APCO within 24 hours of any vi olation of this section.

8.1.1 The actual aggregate NOx emissions (AE Actual ) is the sum of the actual NOX emissions, over a seven (7) consecutive calenda r day period, from all engines in the AECP which were actually operated du ring that period.

AE Actual shall be calculated as follows:



### ) )(k (F) (EF AE i i
i i Actual 

## ∑ =

where:

i identifies each engine in the AECP.

EF i is the NOx emission factor of the engine establis hed pursuant to Section 8.2 and approved by the APCO.

F i is the actual total fuel used by the engine durin g the seven (7) consecutive calendar day period.

k i is a constant used to convert an engine’s fuel us e and NOx emission

factor to the amount of NOx emitted. k i is dependent on the engine and the pollutant emitted. Calculation of k i shall be accomplished using 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 19, or an equivalent method approved by EPA, ARB and the APCO.

8.1.2 The estimated aggregate NOx emissions limit ( AE Limit ) is the sum of the NOx emissions, over a seven (7) consecutive calenda r day period, for the same engines in the AECP which were actually operat ed during the same period as considered in Section 8.1.1, calculated w ith the NOx limits of Section 5.2 and the actual fuel usage during that s even (7) consecutive calendar day period. AE Limit shall be calculated as follows:



### ) )(k (F) (EL AE i i
i i Limit 

## ∑ =

where:

i = identifies each engine in the AECP.

EL i = the NOx emission limit from Section 5.2 for eac h engine.

F i = the actual total fuel used by the engine during the seven (7) consecutive calendar day period.   11/14/13 k i = a constant used to convert an engine’s fuel use and NOx emission

limit to the amount of NOx emitted. k i is dependent on the engine and the pollutant emitted. Calculation of k i shall be accomplished using 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 19, or an equivalent method approved by EPA, ARB and the APCO.

8.1.3 Only engines in the AECP which were operated during the seven (7) consecutive calendar day period shall be included i n the calculations of

AE Limit and AE Actual

.

8.1.4 The operator shall, at least one time each da y the AECP is used, calculate and record the actual aggregate NOx emissions (AE Actual ) and the aggregate NOx emission limit (AE Limit ) for the preceding seven (7) consecutive calendar day period.

8.2 The operator shall establish a NOx emission fac tor limit for each engine. The established NOx emission factor of an engine shall be no less than the NOx emission factor of the engine from the most recent source test conducted pursuant to Section 6.3 and approved by the APCO. The opera tor shall not operate an AECP engine in such a manner that NOx emissions exc eed the established NOx emission factor of the engine.

8.3 The operator shall submit the AECP to the APCO at least 18 months before compliance with the emission limits in Section 5.2 is required. The AECP shall:

8.3.1 Not be implemented prior to APCO approval.

8.3.2 Be enforceable on a daily basis by the Distri ct.

8.3.3 Contain any information necessary to determin e eligibility of the engines for alternative emission control, including, but no t limited to:

8.3.3.1 A list of engines subject to the AECP. All engines in an AECP shall be under the operational control of a single operator and shall be located at a single stationary source,

8.3.3.2 The NOx emission factor established by the engine operator for each engine pursuant to Section 8.2, and

8.3.3.3 The estimated aggregate NOx emissions calcu lated according to

Section 8.1.2.   11/14/13 8.3.4 Present the methodology for determining equiv alency of actual NOx emissions under the proposed AECP as compared to th e estimated NOx emissions allowed by this rule.

8.3.5 Detail the method of recording and verifying daily compliance with the

AECP.

8.3.6 Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the APCO t hat the difference between the NOx emission limits of this rule and any lower actual NOx emissions

will not be used to increase emissions from the sam e or another source.

8.3.7 Demonstrate that the engines subject to the r equirements of Section 5.2 are in compliance with or on an approved schedule for c ompliance with all applicable District rules.

8.4 The operator shall submit an updated or modifie d AECP for approval by the APCO prior to any of the following:

8.4.1 Modification of the engine(s) which would require an Authority-toConstruct;

8.4.2 When new or amended rules are adopted which r egulate the emissions from the engines; or

8.4.3 When the NOx emission factor established by t he engine operator for an engine pursuant to Section 8.2 is modified.

8.5 In addition to the records kept pursuant to Sec tion 6.2, the operator shall maintain records, on a daily basis, of the parameters needed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable NOx emission limits when operating u nder the AECP. These records shall be retained for at least five years, shall be readily available, and be made available to the APCO upon request. The recor ds shall include, but are not limited to, the following for each engine unless ot herwise indicated:

8.5.1 Total hours of operation,

8.5.2 Type and quantity (cubic feet of gas or gallo ns of liquid) of fuel used,

8.5.3 The actual NOx emissions limits to be include d in the calculation of AE Actual pursuant to Section 8.1.1,

8.5.8 Any other parameters needed to demonstrate da ily compliance with the applicable NOx emission limits when operating under the AECP.

8.6 For the purpose of determining the quantity of spark-ignited engines in compliance pursuant to Section 7.5, a spark-ignited engine in an AECP shall not be considered to be in compliance until all spark-ignited engines in the AECP that have been designated to meet more stringent NOx emission fact ors pursuant to Section 8.2 are in compliance with the rule.
