1993;
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 2

(F) any SOx source or process unit elected by the Facility Permit

holder or required by the Executive Officer or designee to be

monitored with a CEMS or equivalent monitoring device;

(G) any SOx source or process unit for which SOx emissions reported

pursuant to Rule 301 - Permit Fees, were equal to or greater than

10 tons per year for any calendar year between 1987 to 1991,

inclusive, excluding any SOx source or process unit which has

reduced SOx emissions to below 10 tons per year prior to

January 1, 1994.

(2) The Facility Permit holder of a major SOx source shall:

(A) install, maintain, and operate a direct monitoring device for each

major SOx source to continuously measure the concentration of

SOx emissions or fuel sulfur content and all other applicable

variables specified in Table 2011-1 and Appendix A, Chapter 2,

Table 2-A; or

(B) install, maintain, and operate an alternative monitoring device

which has been determined by the Executive Officer or designee to

be equivalent to CEMS in relative accuracy, reliability,

reproducibility and timeliness according to the requirements set

forth in Appendix A, Chapter 2.

(C) The operating requirements specified in subparagraph (c)(2)(A) or

(c)(2)(B) shall not apply during any time period not to exceed 96

hours provided that all of the following are met:

(i) the Facility Permit holder reports emissions as specified in

Appendix A;

(ii) the direct monitoring device has been either:

(I) shut down for maintenance performed pursuant to

the facility’s Quality Assurance and Quality

Control Program or

(II) damaged in a fire or mechanical or electrical failure

caused by circumstances beyond the Facility Permit

holder’s control; and
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 3

(iii) Whenever the monitoring device is non-operational for

more than 24 hours, the Facility Permit holder shall

submit a report to the Executive Officer within 96 hours

after the device becomes non-operational. Such report

shall include information as prescribed by the Executive

Officer including at a minimum the cause of the

shutdown, the time the monitoring device became nonoperational, the time or estimated time the monitoring

device returned to normal operation, and the maintenance

performed or corrective and preventative actions taken to

prevent future non-operational conditions.

If the source for which the CEMS is certified to monitor is not

operating when the CEMS is in maintenance or being repaired,

and either the flow or concentration monitor is properly operating,

and clauses (c)(2)(C)(i) and (c)(2)(C)(ii) are met, then the above

time period shall be extended for an additional 96 hours.

(3) The Facility Permit holder of a major SOx source shall:

(A) install, maintain, and operate a reporting device to electronically

report to the District Central SOx Station for each major SOx

source: total daily mass emissions of SOx and daily status codes.

Such data shall be transmitted by 5:00 p.m. of the following day.

If the facility experiences a power, computer, or other system

failure that prevents the reporting of total daily mass emissions of

SOx and daily status codes, the Facility Permit holder shall be

granted 24 hours to submit the required report. Between July 1,

1995 and December 31, 1995, SOx emissions after the 24-hour

extension, shall be calculated using interim reporting procedures

set forth in Appendix A, Chapter 2. Starting January 1, 1996 and

thereafter, SOx emissions after the 24-hour extension shall be

calculated pursuant to the missing data requirements set forth in

Appendix A, Chapter 2. For each major SOx source opting to

comply with subparagraph (c)(10), reports of SOx mass emissions

shall be electronically filed on a monthly instead of daily basis;

and
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 4

(B) submit Monthly Emissions Report aggregating SOx emissions

from all major sources within 15 days following the end of each

calendar month. In its Monthly Emissions Report, the Facility

Permit holder may correct daily transmitted data for that month,

provided such corrections are clearly identified and justified.

(C) Notwithstanding subparagraph (c)(3)(A), starting May 11, 2001 if

a power, computer, or other system failure precludes the Facility

Permit holder from reporting total daily mass emissions of SOx

and daily status codes by 5:00 p.m., the Facility Permit holder

shall be granted 96 hours to submit the required report provided

that the raw data as obtained by the direct monitoring device is

stored at the facility. SOx emissions reported after the 96-hour

extension shall be calculated pursuant to the missing data

requirements set forth in Appendix A, Chapter 2. The provisions

of this subparagraph shall be limited to no more than three nonconsecutive occurrences per compliance year.

(D) The requirement of calculating emissions using Missing Data

Procedures under subparagraph (c)(3)(A) shall not apply if the

failure to report the total daily mass emissions of SOx and daily

status codes is due to a demonstrated failure at the District’s

Central Station preventing it from receiving the data. The Facility

Permit holder shall submit the report within 48 hours of the

problem being corrected, provided that the raw data as obtained by

the direct monitoring device is stored at the facility. SOx

emissions reported after the 48-hour extension shall be calculated

pursuant to the missing data requirements set forth in Appendix A,

Chapter 2.

(4) Super Compliant Facilities

(A) Facilities operating at or below their adjusted 2003 Allocation as

of their 1994 compliance year.
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 5

(i) The Facility Permit holder of major SOx sources may

reclassify its major SOx sources to SOx process units

provided that (1) the facility's annual SOx emissions as

properly reported in its 1994 compliance year APEP report

are already at or below the level of its adjusted compliance

year 2003 SOx Allocation. The adjusted compliance year

2003 SOx Allocation shall be the compliance year 2003

SOx Allocation as calculated pursuant to Rule 2002

subdivision (e) plus any compliance year 2003 SOx RTCs

resulting from conversion of ERCs which the Facility

Permit holder had applied to own by July 1, 1994 and has

continuously owned, unless such RTCs have already been

accounted for in the compliance year 2003 Allocation as

established pursuant to Rule 2002 subdivision (e); and (2)

it submits a complete application for SOx Super

Compliance status on or before December 2, 1996. The

Executive Officer will provisionally approve for purposes

of paragraph (c)(5) such application if the Facility Permit

holder has retired all SOx RTCs in excess of the facility's

adjusted compliance year 2003 Allocation for each of the

compliance years from the year of application submittal

through the 2010 compliance year. The Facility Permit

holder need not retire any RTCs (excluding converted

ERCs) which are held by transfer pursuant to Rule 2007

paragraph (e)(2); however, such non-retired RTCs must be

converted into RTC certificates pursuant to Rule 2007

subdivision (g), transferred to a different holder, or retired.

For the purposes of this rule, converted ERCs shall mean

SOx RTCs resulting from conversion of ERCs which the

Facility Permit holder had applied to own by July 1, 1994

and has continuously owned.

(ii) Final approval of SOx Super Compliant status shall be

granted if the Executive Officer or designee approves the

initial source test required by subparagraph (c)(4)(C) and

the facility's total annual SOx emissions has not exceeded

its adjusted compliance year 2003 Allocation.
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 6

(B) Facilities not operating at or below their adjusted 2003 Allocation

as of their 1994 compliance year.

(i) On or before December 2, 1996 the facility Permit holder

of major SOx sources may submit a complete application

for SOx Super Compliant status. Such applications must

also include a complete application for permit

modifications to install SOx emission reduction

equipment or to make any other physical modifications to

substantially reduce emissions from each major SOx

source to be reclassified as a SOx process unit. The

Executive Officer shall deny the application for Super

Compliant status unless the applicant demonstrates the

proposed modifications would comply with all applicable

District rules and would permanently reduce the facility's

total annual SOx emissions to a level not to exceed its

adjusted compliance year 2003 SOx Allocation as defined

in clause (c)(4)(A)(i), would not result in any increases in

the mass emissions of any other air contaminant or in

emissions to any other media, and would not result in any

increases in receptor concentrations of any air

contaminant in excess of the values identified in Table A2 of Rule 1303;

(ii) Upon issuance of the permit to construct for the

modification specified in clause (c)(4)(B)(i), the

Executive Officer shall also issue a provisional approval

of the facility's application for SOx Super Compliant

status for purposes of paragraph (c)(5).

(iii) Final approval of SOx Super Compliant status shall be

granted if the following provisions are met:

(I) An approved permit to operate has been issued for

the modification specified in clause (c)(4)(B)(i);

(II) The facility's total annual SOx emissions as

reported in its APEP report are at a level at or

below the facility's adjusted compliance year 2003

SOx Allocation on a permanent basis no later than

the facility's 1998 compliance year;
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 7

(III) The Facility Permit holder has retired all SOx RTCs

in excess of the facility's adjusted compliance year

2003 Allocation for each of the compliance years

from the earlier of the facility's 1998 compliance

year or the facility's first full compliance year with

SOx Super Compliant Facility status through the

facility's 2010 compliance year. The Facility

Permit holder need not retire any RTCs (excluding

converted ERCs as defined in clause (c)(4)(A)(i)

which are held by transfer pursuant to Rule 2007

paragraph (e)(2); however, such non-retired RTCs

must be converted into RTC certificates pursuant to

Rule 2007 subdivision (g), transferred to a different

holder, or retired; and

(IV) The facility Permit holder has an approved initial

source test as required under subparagraph

(c)(4)(C).

(C) The Facility Permit holder shall have initial source tests conducted

to establish an equipment specific emission rate, for each major

source to be reclassified as a SOx process unit, pursuant to

Appendix A, Chapter 4, Subdivision D prior to January 1, 1998 for

Cycle 1 facilities and prior to July 1, 1998 for Cycle 2 facilities. In

lieu of an equipment specific emission rate, the Executive Officer

may approve an equipment specific concentration limit if the

Facility Permit holder demonstrates to the satisfaction of the

Executive Officer that there are no measurable operating

parameters to establish an accurate equipment specific emission

rate. The Facility Permit holder shall have initial source tests

conducted in accordance with test methods listed under Rule 2011,

Appendix A, Chapter 4, Subdivision A - Test Methods, to

establish emission levels of the source. The Facility Permit holder

shall select an equipment-specific concentration limit for each

major source which will be reclassified as a SOx process unit. The

concentration limits selected shall be consistent with the source

test results and at a level adequate to allow continuous compliance

and shall be enforceable through permit conditions.
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 8

(i) For facilities seeking Super Compliant status pursuant to

subparagraph (c)(4)(A), the Facility Permit holder may use

the concentration limit to determine emissions retroactive

to the date of provisional approval of the application for

SOx Super Compliant status.

(ii) For facilities seeking Super Compliant status pursuant to

subparagraph (c)(4)(B), the Facility Permit holder may use

the concentration limit to determine emissions retroactive

to the date of completion of modification.

(D) Requirements to maintain Super Compliant status.

Super Compliant status is contingent upon the Facility Permit

holder meeting at all times the following provisions:

(i) Every major SOx source at a Super Compliant SOx facility

which is reclassified as a SOx process unit with an

approved equipment specific emission rate shall be source

tested a minimum of once every twelve months in order to

establish an equipment specific emission rate, pursuant to

Appendix A, Chapter 4, Subdivision D. These source tests

shall be conducted every four calendar quarters after the

initial source test. If a source test is not conducted within

three months after the required date, the facility shall no

longer be considered Super Compliant, unless upon good

cause the Executive Officer has granted a written extension

of time. The source test results shall, upon approval,

constitute the basis for assigning equipment specific

emission rates which shall be used for purposes of

reporting emissions and determining compliance.

(ii) Every major SOx source at a Super Compliant SOx facility

which is reclassified as a SOx process unit with an

approved equipment specific concentration limit shall

comply with that limit on a sixty-minute basis. In addition,

compliance with the approved equipment specific

concentration limit shall be demonstrated by source test a

minimum of once every six months. Such tests shall be

conducted for a duration of sixty minutes in accordance to

test methods listed under Rule 2011, Appendix A,
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 9

Chapter 4, Subdivision A - Test Methods. These source

tests shall be conducted every two calendar quarters after

the initial source test. If a source test is not conducted

within three months after the required date, the facility

shall no longer be considered Super Compliant, unless

upon good cause the Executive Officer has granted a

written extension of time. If the results of a source test

indicate non-compliance with the concentration limit then

the Facility Permit holder shall select a new concentration

limit which is consistent with the source test results unless

the Facility Permit holder demonstrates to the satisfaction

of the Executive Officer or designee that no change is

warranted. If all tests conducted pursuant to this paragraph

over a two-year period comply with the equipment-specific

concentration limit then the facility shall have the option of

reducing the source test frequency to once every four

quarters. If any test conducted on a four quarter cycle

exceeds the concentration limit then the facility shall return

to conducting source tests every two quarters until the

facility is able to demonstrate consecutive compliance over

another two year period.

(iii) The facility's total annual SOx emissions, as reported in its

APEP report, shall not exceed the facility's adjusted

compliance year 2003 SOx Allocation. If there are such

exceedances for two consecutive years or in any three

years, the facility shall no longer be considered Super

Compliant.

(5) Any Facility Permit holder of a facility which is provisionally approved

for SOx Super Compliant status shall have the option for each major SOx

source to be reclassified as a SOx process unit, in lieu of following the

procedures specified in clauses E(1)(d)(i), E(1)(d)(ii), and E(1)(d)(iii) of

Appendix A Chapter 2, to monitor and report emissions pursuant to

paragraph (d)(2). This option shall be available to the Facility Permit

holder retroactively from July 1, 1995 if the complete application for SOx

Super Compliant status is submitted on or before January 2, 1996, or

retroactively from the date of application submittal if the complete
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 10

application is submitted after January 2 and before December 3, 1996. If

the facility is unsuccessful at obtaining final approval as a SOx Super

Compliant Facility then the procedures specified in clauses E(1)(d)(i),

E(1)(d)(ii), and E(1)(d)(iii) of Appendix A Chapter 2 shall apply

retroactively to each major SOx source reclassified as a process unit for

which SOx emissions had been calculated pursuant to paragraph (d)(2)

from the date the facility began monitoring and reporting major SOx

source emissions as SOx process unit emissions to the date a CEMS is

installed and certified.

(6) After final approval of Super Compliant status, a Facility Permit holder

may elect to discontinue its Super Compliant status and increase its annual

Allocations above the level of its adjusted compliance year 2003

Allocation provided it first meets all of the following requirements:

(A) The Facility Permit holder submits an application to discontinue

SOx Super Compliant status and to have all sources at the facility

that were reclassified from major SOx sources to SOx process

units pursuant to paragraph (c)(4) permanently revert back to

major SOx sources;

(B) The Facility Permit holder installs, operates, and certifies in

compliance with Rule 2012 paragraphs (c)(2) and (c)(3)

monitoring and reporting systems on each source at the facility

that was reclassified from a major SOx source to a SOx process

unit pursuant to paragraph (c)(4); and

(C) The Facility Permit holder acquires, pursuant to Rule 2007,

sufficient RTCs to ensure that the facility continuously operates in

compliance with Rule 2004 subdivision (d).

(7) If a facility designated as a SOx Super Compliant Facility pursuant to

paragraph (c)(4) exceeds its adjusted compliance year 2003 SOx

Allocation, then the facility shall acquire, pursuant to Rule 2007,

sufficient RTCs to cover such exceedance and shall be considered in

violation of Rule 2004(d)(1).

(8) If the Executive Officer determines that a facility designated as a SOx

Super Compliant Facility exceeds its adjusted compliance year 2003 SOx

Allocation for two consecutive years or any three years, then that facility

shall no longer be considered Super Compliant. If a facility loses its

Super Compliant status pursuant to this paragraph or subparagraph
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 11

(c)(4)(D), all sources at the facility that were reclassified from major SOx

sources to SOx process units pursuant to paragraph (c)(4) shall

permanently revert back to major SOx sources and shall become subject

to the monitoring and reporting requirements of paragraphs (c)(2) and

(c)(3) according to the following schedule:

(A) Within 1 month from the end of the compliance year, submit a

monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping plan specifying the use

of CEMS;

with the following:

(A) install, maintain, and operate a totalizing fuel meter and/or timer,

or any device approved by the Executive Officer or designee to be

equivalent in accuracy, reliability, reproducibility and timeliness,

for the SOx process unit, to measure quarterly fuel usage or other

applicable measured variables specified in Table 2011-1, and

Appendix A, Chapter 3, Table 3-A; and

(B) report quarterly mass emission of SOx to the District Central

Station 30 days after the end of each of the first three quarters and

60 days after the last quarter of a compliance year for each process

unit using a modem, the District Internet Web Site, or any

reporting device approved by the Executive Officer to be

equivalent in accuracy, reliability, and timeliness; and

(C) accept the emission factor as specified pursuant to paragraphs

(d)(3), (d)(4), or (d)(5) in the Facility Permit, as the sole method

for determining mass emissions for all purposes, including, but not

limited to, determining:

(i) compliance with the annual allocations;

(ii) excess emissions;

(iii) the amount of penalties; and

(iv) fees.

(3) Starting January 1, 1994 for Cycle 1 facilities, and July 1, 1994 for Cycle

2 facilities, calculations of mass emissions from each process unit shall be

based upon the emission factor specified in Rule 2002. The emission

factor for each process unit will be specified in the Facility Permit and

pursuant to paragraphs (d)(4) or (d)(5).
Rule 2011 (Cont.) (Amended January 7, 2005)

2011 - 16

(4) A Facility Permit holder may apply to the Executive Officer or designee

to amend the emission factor to an equipment or category specific

emission rate in the Facility Permit for a SOx process unit at any time. If

the applicant demonstrates to the Executive Officer or designee that the

equipment or category specific emission rate is reliable, accurate, and

representative for the purpose of calculating SOx emissions, the Executive

Officer or designee will amend the Facility Permit to incorporate the

equipment or category specific emission rate. The equipment or category

specific emission rate shall take effect prospectively from the date the

Facility Permit is amended.

(5) The Executive Officer or designee may amend the Facility Permit at any

time to specify an equipment or category specific emission rate for a SOx

process unit if the equipment or category specific emission rate is

determined to be more reliable, accurate, or representative of that unit's

emissions than the previous emission factor stated in the Facility Permit.

The equipment or category specific emission rate shall take effect
