NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

In accordance with N.H. Admin. Rule Env-A 204.01(b) and 40 CFR § 51 .102, notice is hereby 

given that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Air Resources Division, will hold a 

public hearing on proposed amendments to the NH Code of Administrative Rules on Thursday, October 

14, 2004. The public hearing will be held in Room 114, first floor of the offices of the Department of 

Environmental Services (DES), 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. 

At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 14, 2004, DES will receive testimony from the public 

concerning Env-A 803.03, 803.04, 1211 .02(az), 1211 .12, and 1211.21 : Auxiliary Boilers. Currently, 

auxiliary boilers with a heat input rate of at least 5,000,000 Btu per hour but less than 50,000,000 Btu per 

hour are required to perform compliance stack testing every three years. All other boilers of this size are 

allowed to perform an efficiency test, make annual adjustments to the combustion process, and perform 

gaseous concentration measurements, in lieu of compliance stack testing. If adopted, the proposed 

amendments will allow owners and operators of small auxiliary boilers to perform the same testing 

activities required of other, similar-sized boilers . Another change is that Env-A 1211 .12(c) is being 

deleted, so that if an auxiliary boiler emits more than 50 tons per year of nitrogen oxides (NOx), it will be 

required to continue meeting the emission limit for auxiliary boilers instead of becoming subject to the 

limits for industrial boilers, which are more lenient for oil-fired boilers . In addition, the definition of 

"theoretical potential NOx emissions" is being moved from Env-A 101 to Env-A 1211 and is being 

amended, since it currently refers to a definition that has been repealed . DES is also proposing to delete 

Env-A 1211 .21(b), which requires the installation and operation of a continuous emission monitoring 

system on all utility boilers, regardless of size. 

Testimony may be presented orally and/or in writing at the public hearing. DES will receive 

written comments on the proposed rules until 4:00 p.m. on Monday, October 25, 2004. Please submit 

written comments to Barbara Hoffman, Stationary Source Management Bureau Planning Manager, Air 

Resources Division, NH Department of Environmental Services, P .O. Box 95, Concord, NH 03302-0095, 

Fax (603) 271-7053 . 

Copies of all documentation pertaining to rulemakings for all air rules are available for inspection 

at the offices of the Air Resources Division at the address stated above. The proposed rule is also posted at 

www.des.state .nh .us/ard/prpsdrul.htm. Questions regarding the proposed rulemaking should be directed to 

Barbara Hoffman at (603) 271-7874. .
