Subject: Summary of State NOx Regulations for Selected Stationary Sources

Date: September 30 , 2014

SRA compiled a summary of state/local NOx emission control regulations pertaining six categories of

nonEGUs:

 Cement kilns

 Industrial/Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Boilers

– Coal

- fired

 ICI Boilers

– Gas

- fired

 ICI Boilers

– Oil

- fired

 Gas Turbines

 Internal Combustion (IC) Engines

The analysis included 27 states in the eastern two

- thirds of the U.S. For each of these states and source

categories, we identified state

- specific sub

- categories (e.g. f uel type or size threshold), the NOx e mission

l imit or control requirement, a veraging t ime for the emission limit, ge ographic a pplicability w ithin the

s tate , testing/monitoring requirements, and rule citation. This information is contained in the attached

spreadsheet ( Draft State NOx RACT Limits 2014_04_01 .xlsx)

.

Attachment 1 is a n overall summary of the relative stringency of the NOx requirements by geographic

area and source category. We also prepared a 2

- page summary for each of the six categories to concisely

compare state NOx emission limits or control requirements. These are shown in Attachments 2 to 7 , along

with notes highlighting the major differences between the state regulations.

Please let us know should you have questions or comments about any of the data presented in this

memorandum.2 Attachment 1

1) Cement kiln emission limits imposed by recent EPA enforcement settlements tend to be more stringent than the emission control

requirements in state rules.
2) CT, DE and NJ have no active coal

- fired boilers, so the stringency of their regulations for coal

- fired ICI boilers is difficult to evaluate3 Attachment 2

Observations Regarding State NOx Rules for Cement Kilns :

 Geographic Applicability

 All NOx SIP Call states with cement kilns have NOx rules in place

 Since only portions of Alabama, Michigan, and Missouri were affected by NOx SIP Call, the

NOx rules only apply in the affected counties.

 States not included in the NOx SIP Call do not have NOx RACT for cement kilns, except for

Texas. The Texas NOx requirem ents only apply in in Bexar, Comal, Ellis, Hays, and McLennan

Counties.

 Form of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 A few states express the requirement as “at least one of the following: low

- NO x burners, mid

- kiln

system firing, alternative control tech niques or reasonably available control technology approved

by the Director and the EPA as achieving at least the same emissions decreases as with low

- NOX

burners or mid

- kiln system firing

. ”

 A few states specify presumptive emission limits in terms of poun ds of NOx per ton of clinker.

 Three states do not set presumptive emission limits but rather require facilities to submit a case

by

- case RACT determination. Pennsylvania has a proposed regulation that will specify

presumptive RACT limits; current rules req uire sources to h old 1 trading allowance per ton of

NOx c alculate d by m

ultiplying tons clinker by the presumptive NOx limit

.

 Stringency of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 For states requiring “ low

- NOX burners, mid

- kiln system firing, or ACT”, it is generally assumed

that this will result in a 30% reduction from uncontrolled levels.

 For states with numerical emission limits, the limits generally represent a 20

– 40 % reduction

from uncontrolled levels, depending on the type of kiln

.

 Texas has very stringent limits for kilns in Ellis County.

 Pennsylvania has proposed presumptive RACT emission limitation s in April 2014 that are more

stringent than existing presumptive RACT limits in other states.5 Attachment 3

Observations Regarding State NOx Rules for Coal

- fired Boilers :

 Geographic Applicability

 States in the OTR (CT, DE, MA, MD, NJ, NY, and PA ) have NOx emission requirements that

apply statewide, not just in ozone nonattainment areas.

 Six states (AL, AR, KY, MS, OK, and WV ) do not have regulations limiting NOx emissions.

 For the remaining states (FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MI, MO, NC, OH, TN, VA, WI) , the NOx

emission control requirements only apply in ozone nonattainment areas

.

 Texas onl y has emission limitations for coke

- fired boilers in the Houston

- Galveston

nonattainment area.

 Size Applicability

 Most of the states do not have NOx emission requirements for boilers less than 100 mmBtu/hour.

 10 states do regulation boilers in the 50

- 100 m mBtu size range.

 Form of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 Nearly all states express the NOx emission limits in terms of lbs/mmBtu.

 A few states require either a case

- by

- case RACT determination or specify specific types of

control equipment (e.g., low

- NOx burners, flue gas recirculation).

 Stringency of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 Most states specify different emission limits for different types of boilers and firing types (e.g.,

dry bottom tangential

- fired) vs. dry bottom wall

- fired)

 A few sta tes in the Northeast have very few or no coal

- fired ICI boilers, so the stringency of the

regulations in those states is difficult to evaluate. These states are CT, DE, NJ and MA.

 For boilers greater than 100 mmBtu/hour, the LADCO/OTC 1 Phase I recommended limits are in

the 0.2

- 0.3 lbs/mmBtu range (depending on boiler/firing configuration). The LADCO/OTC Phase

II recommended limits are in the 0.1

- 0.2 lbs/mmBtu range. F our areas have limits that generally

meet the LADCO/OTC recommendations (Chicago, Baton Rouge, New York State, and

Milwaukee.

 Texas has a very stringent limit (0.057 lbs/mmBtu) for coke

- fired boilers in the Houston

Galveston area.

Observations Regarding State NOx Rules for Gas Turbines :

 Geographic Applicability

 States in the OTR (CT, DE, MA, MD, NJ, NY, and PA ) have NOx emission requirements that

apply statewide, not just in ozone nonattainment areas.

 Nine states (AL, AR, IN, KY, MI, MS, OK, SC, and WV ) do not have regulations limiting NOx

emissions.

 For the remaining states (GA, IL, LA, MO, NC, OH, TN, TX, VA , WI), the NOx emission

control requirements only apply in ozone nonattainment areas.

 Other A pplicability Criteria

 States use a variety size thresholds. For example, Ohio’s rules differentiate between units < 3.5

MW and > 3.5 MW

. Wisconsin has requirement s for three size ranges: 10

- 25 MW, 25

- 50 MW,

and >50 MW.

 State limits generally differ by type of fuel

– gas or oil. Wisconsin also includes limits for

biologically derived fuel.

 Some states have different limits for simple

- cycle and combined

- cycle unit s. Other states have a

single limit that applies to both types of units.

 Form of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 States do not specify specific types of control techniques, but rather set a numerical emission

limit.

 Most states express limits in ter ms of “ppmv at 15% oxygen”. Some states use lbs/mmBtu, and

the equivalent limits shown in the table above were calculated using based on Part 75 Eq

- F5 and

F

- factors. New Jersey’s limits are in terms of lbs/MHr.

 Stringency of NOx Limitation or Control Requ irement

 Three areas have very low limits compared to other states/areas: the 45 county area in Georgia,

Observations Regarding State NOx Rules for IC Engines :

 Geographic Applicability

 States in the OTR (CT, DE, MA, MD, NJ, NY, and PA ) have NOx emission requirements that

apply statewide, not just in ozone nonattainment areas.

 Eight states (AL, AR, IN, KY, MS, OK, SC, and WV ) do not have regulations limiting NOx

emissions.

 For the remaining states (GA, IL, LA, MI, MO, NC, OH, TN, TX, VA, WI), the NOx emission

control requirements only apply in ozone nonatta inment areas.

 Other Applicability Criteria

 States use a variety size thresholds. For example, Louisiana’s rules have separate limits for IC

engines that are 150

- 300 hp , > 300 hp, and >1500 hp. New York uses > 200 hp and > 400 hp.

Delaware uses > 450 hp, w hile North Carolina uses > 650 hp.

 State limits generally differ by type of fuel

– gas

, oil , dual

- fuel or landfill/digester gas

.

 A few states have different limits lean

- burn and rich

- burn engines . Other states have a single limit

that applies to both type s of units.

 Form of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 Most states express limits in terms of “ gram per brake horsepower hour ”.

 Some states use “ ppmvd @ 15% O2 ”

, and the equivalent limits shown in the table above were

calculated using c onversion factor s from ppmv @ 15% O2 to g/hp

 Delaware specifies control technology standards rather than numerical emission limits.

 Stringency of NOx Limitation or Control Requirement

 Maryland, New Jersey, New York and the Dallas/Houston areas of Texas have limits that are

more stringent than other states /areas
