Plan approval terms and conditions.

How do I determine the total sulfur content of the turbine's combustion fuel?

How do I conduct the initial and subsequent performance tests, regarding NOX ?

(a) Within 180 days of start-up of Source ID P181, the permittee shall conduct EPA reference method testing on Source ID 

P181 for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ammonia slip, volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid 

mist, total PM, total PM10, total

PM2.5 and formaldehyde.

(b) Subsequent EPA reference method testing for volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid mist, total 

PM, total PM10, total PM2.5 and formaldehyde shall be conducted every two years from the date of the previous tests. The 

testing frequency may be revised based upon the satisfactory demonstration of compliance with the emission limitations.

(c) The permittee shall follow the testing and notification requirements specified in Section C, Site Level Requirements, of 

this plan approval.

The permittee shall monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the turbine, except as provided in §60.4365. The 

sulfur content of the fuel must be determined using total sulfur methods described in §60.4415. Alternatively, if the total 

sulfur content of the gaseous fuel during the most recent performance test was less than half the applicable limit, ASTM 

D4084, D4810, D5504, or D6228, or Gas Processors Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by 

reference, see §60.17), which measure the major sulfur compounds, may be used.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent NOX performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). 

 

(1) There are two general methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. For each test run: 

 

(i) Measure the NOX concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Method 7E or EPA Method 20 in appendix A of 

this part. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, using EPA 

Methods 1 and 2 in appendix Aof this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the unit. Then, 

use the following equation to calculate the NOX emission rate: 

"Equation 5" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh 

1.194 x 10-7 = conversion constant, in lb/dscf-ppm

Qstd = stack gas volumetric flow rate, in dscf/hr 

P = gross electrical and mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine, in MW (for simple-cycle operation), for 

II. TESTING REQUIREMENTS.

Warm start is identified as a restart occurring between 12 hours to 72 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 75 

minutes in duration.

Hot start is identified as a restart occurring less than 12 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 66 minutes duration.

Shut down is the period of time during the reduction in load of the CT for the purposes of shutting down the source and shall

not exceed 60 minutes duration.

combined-cycle operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam turbines, or, for 

combined heat and power operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam 

turbines plus all useful recovered thermal output not used for additional electric or mechanical generation, in MW, 

calculated according to §60.4350(f)(2); or 

 

(ii) Measure the NOX and diluent gas concentrations, using either EPA Methods 7E and 3A, or EPA Method 20 in appendix A

of this part. Concurrently measure the heat input to the unit, using a fuel flowmeter (or flowmeters), and measure the 

electrical and thermal output of the unit. Use EPA Method 19 in appendix Aof this part to calculate the NOX emission rate in 

lb/MMBtu. Then, use Equations 1 and, if necessary, 2 and 3 in §60.4350(f) to calculate the NOX emission rate in lb/MWh. 

 

(2) Sampling traverse points for NOX and (if applicable) diluent gas are to be selected following EPA Method 20or EPA 

Method 1 (non-particulate procedures), and sampled for equal time intervals. The sampling must be performed with a 

traversing single-hole probe, or, if feasible, with a stationary multi-hole probe that samples each of the points sequentially. 

Alternatively, a multi-hole probe designed and documented to sample equal volumes from each hole may be used to 

sample simultaneously at the required points. 

 

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may test at fewer points than are specified in EPA Method 1 or EPA

Method 20 in appendix A of this part if the following conditions are met: 

 

(i) The permittee may perform a stratification test for NOX and diluent pursuant to 

 

(A) [Reserved], or 

 

(B) The procedures specified in section 6.5.6.1(a) through (e) of appendix A of part 75 of this chapter. 

 

(ii) Once the stratification sampling is completed, you may use the following alternative sample point selection criteria for 

the performance test: 

 

(A) If each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within ±10 percent of the mean concentration for all 

traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs by no more than ±5ppm or ±0.5 percent CO2 

(or O2) from the mean for all traverse points, then you may use three points (located either 16.7, 50.0 and 83.3 percent of the

way across the stack or duct, or, for circular stacks or ducts greater than 2.4 meters (7.8 feet) in diameter, at 0.4, 1.2, and 2.0

meters from the wall). The three points must be located along the measurement line that exhibited the highest average NOX

concentration during the stratification test; or 

 

(B) Not Applicable 

 

(C) For turbines with a NOX standard less than or equal to 15 ppm @ 15% O2, you may sample at a single point, located at 

least 1 meter from the stack wall or at the stack centroid if each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within 

±2.5 percent of the mean concentration for all traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs 

by no more than ±1ppm or ±0.15 percent CO2 (or O2) from the mean for all traverse points. 

 

(b) The performance test must be done at any load condition within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. 

You may perform testing at the highest achievable load point, if at least 75 percent of peak load cannot be achieved in 

practice. You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance test. The minimum time per run is 20 minutes. 

 

(1) Not Applicable 

 

(2) For a combined cycle and CHP turbine systems with supplemental heat (duct burner), you must measure the total NOX 

emissions after the duct burner rather than directly after the turbine. The duct burner must be in operation during the 

performance test. 

 

(3) Not Applicable 

 

(4) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 must be demonstrated at each tested load level. 

Compliance is achieved if the three-run arithmetic average NOX emission rate at each tested level meets the applicable

(5) If you elect to install a CEMS, the performance evaluation of the CEMS may either be conducted separately or (as 

described in §60.4405) as part of the initial performance test of the affected unit. 

 

(6) The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F during the performance test.

If the permittee elects to install and certify a NOX-diluent CEMS under §60.4345, then the initial performance test required 

under §60.8 may be performed in the following alternative manner:

(a) Perform a minimum of nine RATA reference method runs, with a minimum time per run of 21 minutes, at a single load 

level, within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F 

during the RATA runs.

(b) For each RATA run, concurrently measure the heat input to the unit using a fuel flow meter (or flow meters) and measure 

the electrical and thermal output from the unit.

(c) Use the test data both to demonstrate compliance with the applicable NOX emission limit under §60.4320 and to provide

the required reference method data for the RATA of the CEMS described under §60.4335.

(d) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 is achieved if the arithmetic average of all of the NOX 

emission rates for the RATA runs, expressed in units of ppm or lb/MWh, does not exceed the emission limit.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent SO2 performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). There are 

three methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. 

 

(1) If the permittee chooses to periodically determine the sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, a 

representative fuel sample would be collected following ASTM D5287 (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) for natural 

gas. The fuel analyses of this section may be performed either by you, a service contractor retained by you, the fuel vendor, 

or any other qualified agency. Analyze the samples for the total sulfur content of the fuel using: 

 

(i) Not Applicable 

 

(ii) For gaseous fuels, ASTM D1072, or alternatively D3246, D4084, D4468, D4810, D6228, D6667, or Gas Processors 

Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by reference, see §60.17). 

 

(2) Measure the SO2 concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Methods 6, 6C, 8, or 20 in appendix A of this part.

In addition, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard, ASME PTC 19-10-1981-Part 10, "Flue and 

Exhaust Gas Analyses," manual methods for sulfur dioxide (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) can be used instead of 

EPA Methods 6 or 20. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, 

using EPA Methods 1 and 2 in appendix A of this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the 

unit. Then use the following equation to calculate the SO2 emission rate: 

"Equation 6"

How do I demonstrate continuous compliance for NOX if I do not use water or steam injection?

What are the requirements for the continuous emission monitoring system equipment, if I choose to use this option?

How do I use data from the continuous emission monitoring equipment to identify excess emissions?

(a) If the permittee is not using water or steam injection to control NOX emissions, you must perform annual performance 

tests in accordance with §60.4400 to demonstrate continuous compliance. As an alternative, you may install, calibrate, 

maintain and operate Continuous emission monitoring as described in §§60.4335(b).

(1) Install, certify, maintain, and operate a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) consisting of a NOX monitor and

a diluent gas (oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2)) monitor, to determine the hourly NOX emission rate in parts per million 

(ppm) or pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu); and

(2) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a fuel flow meter (or flow 

meters) to continuously measure the heat input to the affected unit; and

(3) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a watt meter (or meters) to 

continuously measure the gross electrical output of the unit in megawatt-hours; and

(4) For combined heat and power units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 

meters for useful recovered energy flow rate, temperature, and pressure, to continuously measure the total thermal energy 

output in British thermal units per hour (Btu/h).

If the option to use a NOX CEMS is chosen: 

 

(a) Each NOX diluent CEMS must be installed and certified according to Performance Specification 2 (PS 2) in appendix B 

to this part, except the 7-day calibration drift is based on unit operating days, not calendar days. With state approval, 

Procedure 1 in appendix F to this part is not required. Alternatively, a NOX diluent CEMS that is installed and certified 

according to appendix A of part 75 of this chapter is acceptable for use under this subpart. The relative accuracy test audit 

(RATA) of the CEMS shall be performed on a lb/MMBtu basis. 

 

(b) As specified in §60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hour, both the NOX monitor and the diluent monitor must 

complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the

hour, to validate the hour. For partial unit operating hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor 

for each quadrant of the hour in which the unit operates. For unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and 

maintenance activities are performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in each of two quadrants) are 

required for each monitor to validate the NOX emission rate for the hour. 

 

(c) Each fuel flowmeter shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's 

instructions. Alternatively, with state approval, fuel flowmeters that meet the installation, certification, and quality assurance 

requirements of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter are acceptable for use under this subpart. 

 

(d) Each watt meter, steam flow meter, and each pressure or temperature measurement device shall be installed, 

calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's instructions. 

 

(e) The owner or operator shall develop and keep on-site a quality assurance (QA) plan for all of the continuous monitoring 

equipment described in paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of this section. For the CEMS and fuel flow meters, the owner or 

operator may, with state approval, satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by implementing the QA program and plan 

described in section 1 of appendix B to part 75of this chapter.

For purposes of identifying excess emissions:

(a) All CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages as specified in §60.13(h). 

 

(b) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in §60.4345(b), is obtained for both NOX and 

diluent monitors, the data acquisition and handling system must calculate and record the hourly NOX emission rate in units 

of ppm or lb/MMBtu, using the appropriate equation from method 19 in appendix A of this part. For any hour in which the 

hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2 (or the hourly average CO2 concentration is less than 1.0 percent

CO2), a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2 or 1.0 percent CO2 (as applicable) may be used in the emission calculations. 

 

(c) Correction of measured NOX concentrations to 15 percent O2 is not allowed. 

 

(d) If the permittee has installed and certified a NOX diluent CEMS to meet the requirements of part 75 of this chapter, 

states can approve that only quality assured data from the CEMS shall be used to identify excess emissions under this 

subpart. Periods where the missing data substitution procedures in subpart D of part 75 are applied are to be reported as 

monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required under §60.7(c). 

 

(e) All required fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, temperature, pressure, and megawatt data must be reduced to hourly 

averages. 

 

(f) Calculate the hourly average NOX emission rates, in units of the emission standards under §60.4320, using either ppm 

for units complying with the concentration limit or the following equation for units complying with the output based standard: 

 

(1) For simple-cycle operation: 

"Equation 1" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh, 

(NOX)h = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MMBtu, 

(HI)h = hourly heat input rate to the unit, in MMBtu/h, measured using the fuel flowmeter(s), e.g., calculated using Equation 

D-15a in appendix D to part 75 of this chapter, and 

P = gross energy output of the combustion turbine in MW. 

 

(2) For combined-cycle and combined heat and power complying with the output-based standard, use Equation 1 of this 

subpart, except that the gross energy output is calculated as the sum of the total electrical and mechanical energy 

generated by the combustion turbine, the additional electrical or mechanical energy (if any) generated by the steam turbine 

following the heat recovery steam generator, and 100 percent of the total useful thermal energy output that is not used to 

generate additional electricity or mechanical output, expressed in equivalent MW, as in the following equations: 

"Equation 2" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

P = gross energy output of the stationary combustion turbine system in MW. 

(Pe)t = electrical or mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine in MW, 

(Pe)c = electrical or mechanical energy output (if any) of the steam turbine in MW, and 

"Equation 3"

How often must I determine the sulfur content of the fuel?

Where: 

Ps = useful thermal energy of the steam, measured relative to ISO conditions, not used to generate additional electric or 

mechanical output, in MW, 

Q = measured steam flow rate in lb/h, 

H = enthalpy of the steam at measured temperature and pressure relative to ISO conditions, in Btu/lb, and 3.413 x 106 = 

conversion from Btu/h to MW. 

Po = other useful heat recovery, measured relative to ISO conditions, not used for steam generation or performance 

enhancement of the combustion turbine. 

 

(3) For mechanical drive applications complying with the output-based standard, use the following equation: 

"Equation 4" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = NOX emission rate in lb/MWh, 

(NOX)m = NOX emission rate in lb/h, 

BL = manufacturer's base load rating of turbine, in MW, and 

AL = actual load as a percentage of the base load. 

 

(g) Not Applicable 

 

(h) For combined cycle and combined heat and power units with heat recovery, use the calculated hourly average emission 

rates from paragraph (f) of this section to assess excess emissions on a 30 unit operating day rolling average basis, as 

described in §60.4380(b)(1).

The permittee may elect not to monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, if the fuel is 

demonstrated not to exceed potential sulfur emissions of 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in 

continental areas and 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in noncontinental areas or a 

continental area that the Administrator determines does not have access to natural gas and that the removal of sulfur 

compounds would cause more environmental harm than benefit. You must use one of the following sources of information 

to make the required demonstration:

(a) The fuel quality characteristics in a current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet or transportation contract for the fuel, 

specifying that the maximum total sulfur content for oil use in continental areas is 0.05 weight percent (500 ppmw) or less 

and 0.4 weight percent (4,000 ppmw) or less for noncontinental areas, the total sulfur content for natural gas use in 

continental areas is 20 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard cubic feet and 140 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard

cubic feet for noncontinental areas, has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu)

heat input for continental areas and has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas; or

(b) Representative fuel sampling data which show that the sulfur content of the fuel does not exceed 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for continental areas or 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas. At a 

minimum, the amount of fuel sampling data specified in section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter is 

required.

The frequency of determining the sulfur content of the fuel must be as follows:

(a) Not Applicable

(b) Gaseous fuel. If you elect not to demonstrate sulfur content using options in §60.4365, and the fuel is supplied without 

intermediate bulk storage, the sulfur content value of the gaseous fuel must be determined and recorded once per unit 

operating day.

(c) Custom schedules. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, operators or fuel vendors may 

develop custom schedules for determination of the total sulfur content of gaseous fuels, based on the design and operation

of the affected facility and the characteristics of the fuel supply. Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this 

section, custom schedules shall be substantiated with data and shall be approved by the Administrator before they can be 

used to comply with the standard in §60.4330.

(1) The two custom sulfur monitoring schedules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iv) and in paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section are acceptable, without prior Administrative approval:

(i) The owner or operator shall obtain daily total sulfur content measurements for 30 consecutive unit operating days, using 

the applicable methods specified in this subpart. Based on the results of the 30 daily samples, the required frequency for 

subsequent monitoring of the fuel's total sulfur content shall be as specified in paragraph (c)(1)(ii), (iii), or (iv) of this section,

as applicable.

(ii) If none of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content exceeds half the applicable standard, subsequent 

sulfur content monitoring may be performed at 12-month intervals. If any of the samples taken at 12-month intervals has a 

total sulfur content greater than half but less than the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this 

section. If any measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section.

(iii) If at least one of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content is greater than half but less than the 

applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, then:

(A) Collect and analyze a sample every 30 days for 3 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable 

limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(B) 

of this section.

(B) Begin monitoring at 6-month intervals for 12 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, 

follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(C) of 

this section.

(C) Begin monitoring at 12-month intervals. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the 

procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, continue to monitor at this frequency.

(iv) If a sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, immediately begin daily monitoring according to 

paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section. Daily monitoring shall continue until 30 consecutive daily samples, each having a sulfur 

content no greater than the applicable limit, are obtained. At that point, the applicable procedures of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) or 

(iii) of this section shall be followed.

(2) The owner or operator may use the data collected from the 720-hour sulfur sampling demonstration described in 

section 2.3.6 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter to determine a custom sulfur sampling schedule, as follows:

(i) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from the 720 hourly samples does not exceed 20 grains/100 scf, no 

additional monitoring of the sulfur content of the gas is required, for the purposes of this subpart.

(ii) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from any of the 720 hourly samples exceeds 20 grains/100 scf, but none of 

the sulfur content values (when converted to weight percent sulfur) exceeds half the applicable limit, then the minimum 

required sampling frequency shall be one sample at 12 month intervals.

(iii) If any sample result exceeds half the applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, follow the provisions of 

paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section.

How are excess emissions and monitor downtime defined for NOX ?

How are excess emissions and monitoring downtime defined for SO2?

(a) For each affected unit required to continuously monitor parameters or emissions, or to periodically determine the fuel 

sulfur content under this subpart, you must submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime, in accordance with 

§60.7(c). Excess emissions must be reported for all periods of unit operation, including start-up, shutdown, and 

malfunction.

(b) For each affected unit that performs annual performance tests in accordance with §60.4340(a), you must submit a 

written report of the results of each performance test before the close of business on the 60th day following the completion 

of the performance test.

For the purpose of reports required under §60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that must be 

reported are defined as follows:

(a) Not Applicable

(b) For turbines using continuous emission monitoring, as described in §§60.4335(b) and 60.4345:

(1) An excess emissions is any unit operating period in which the 4-hour or 30-day rolling average NOX emission rate 

exceeds the applicable emission limit in §60.4320. For the purposes of this subpart, a “4-hour rolling average NOX 

emission rate” is the arithmetic average of the average NOX emission rate in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the 

continuous emission monitoring equipment for a given hour and the three unit operating hour average NOX emission rates 

immediately preceding that unit operating hour. Calculate the rolling average if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at 

least 3 of the 4 hours. For the purposes of this subpart, a “30-day rolling average NOX emission rate” is the arithmetic 

average of all hourly NOX emission data in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the continuous emission monitoring 

equipment for a given day and the twenty-nine unit operating days immediately preceding that unit operating day. A new 30-

day average is calculated each unit operating day as the average of all hourly NOX emissions rates for the preceding 30 unit

operating days if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at least 75 percent of all operating hours.

(2) A period of monitor downtime is any unit operating hour in which the data for any of the following parameters are either 

missing or invalid: NOX concentration, CO2 or O2 concentration, fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, steam temperature, steam 

pressure, or megawatts. The steam flow rate, steam temperature, and steam pressure are only required if you will use this 

information for compliance purposes.

(3) For operating periods during which multiple emissions standards apply, the applicable standard is the average of the 

applicable standards during each hour. For hours with multiple emissions standards, the applicable limit for that hour is 

determined based on the condition that corresponded to the highest emissions standard.

(c) Not Applicable

If the permittee chooses the option to monitor the sulfur content of the fuel, excess emissions and monitoring downtime are 

defined as follows: 

 

(a) For samples of gaseous fuel and for oil samples obtained using daily sampling, flow proportional sampling, or 

sampling from the unit's storage tank, an excess emission occurs each unit operating hour included in the period 

beginning on the date and hour of any sample for which the sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the combustion turbine 

exceeds the applicable limit and ending on the date and hour that a subsequent sample is taken that demonstrates 

compliance with the sulfur limit. 

 

(b) If the option to sample each delivery of fuel oil has been selected, the permittee must immediately switch to one of the 

other oil sampling options (i.e., daily sampling, flow proportional sampling, or sampling from the unit's storage tank) if the 

sulfur content of a delivery exceeds 0.05 weight percent. The permittee must continue to use one of the other sampling

Plan approval terms and conditions.

How do I determine the total sulfur content of the turbine's combustion fuel?

How do I conduct the initial and subsequent performance tests, regarding NOX ?

(a) Within 180 days of start-up of Source ID P182, the permittee shall conduct EPA reference method testing on Source ID 

P182 for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ammonia slip, volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid 

mist, total PM, total PM10, total

PM2.5 and formaldehyde.

(b) Subsequent EPA reference method testing for volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid mist, total 

PM, total PM10, total PM2.5 and formaldehyde shall be conducted every two years from the date of the previous tests. The 

testing frequency may be revised based upon the satisfactory demonstration of compliance with the emission limitations.

(c) The permittee shall follow the testing and notification requirements specified in Section C, Site Level Requirements, of 

this plan approval.

The permittee shall monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the turbine, except as provided in §60.4365. The 

sulfur content of the fuel must be determined using total sulfur methods described in §60.4415. Alternatively, if the total 

sulfur content of the gaseous fuel during the most recent performance test was less than half the applicable limit, ASTM 

D4084, D4810, D5504, or D6228, or Gas Processors Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by 

reference, see §60.17), which measure the major sulfur compounds, may be used.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent NOX performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). 

 

(1) There are two general methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. For each test run: 

 

(i) Measure the NOX concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Method 7E or EPA Method 20 in appendix A of 

this part. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, using EPA 

Methods 1 and 2 in appendix Aof this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the unit. Then, 

use the following equation to calculate the NOX emission rate: 

"Equation 5" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh 

1.194 x 10-7 = conversion constant, in lb/dscf-ppm 

(NOX)c = average NOX concentration for the run, in ppm 

Qstd = stack gas volumetric flow rate, in dscf/hr 

P = gross electrical and mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine, in MW (for simple-cycle operation), for 

II. TESTING REQUIREMENTS.

Warm start is identified as a restart occurring between 12 hours to 72 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 75 

minutes in duration.

Hot start is identified as a restart occurring less than 12 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 66 minutes duration.

Shut down is the period of time during the reduction in load of the CT for the purposes of shutting down the source and shall

not exceed 60 minutes duration.

combined-cycle operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam turbines, or, for 

combined heat and power operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam 

turbines plus all useful recovered thermal output not used for additional electric or mechanical generation, in MW, 

calculated according to §60.4350(f)(2); or 

 

(ii) Measure the NOX and diluent gas concentrations, using either EPA Methods 7E and 3A, or EPA Method 20 in appendix A

of this part. Concurrently measure the heat input to the unit, using a fuel flowmeter (or flowmeters), and measure the 

electrical and thermal output of the unit. Use EPA Method 19 in appendix Aof this part to calculate the NOX emission rate in 

lb/MMBtu. Then, use Equations 1 and, if necessary, 2 and 3 in §60.4350(f) to calculate the NOX emission rate in lb/MWh. 

 

(2) Sampling traverse points for NOX and (if applicable) diluent gas are to be selected following EPA Method 20or EPA 

Method 1 (non-particulate procedures), and sampled for equal time intervals. The sampling must be performed with a 

traversing single-hole probe, or, if feasible, with a stationary multi-hole probe that samples each of the points sequentially. 

Alternatively, a multi-hole probe designed and documented to sample equal volumes from each hole may be used to 

sample simultaneously at the required points. 

 

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may test at fewer points than are specified in EPA Method 1 or EPA

Method 20 in appendix A of this part if the following conditions are met: 

 

(i) The permittee may perform a stratification test for NOX and diluent pursuant to 

 

(A) [Reserved], or 

 

(B) The procedures specified in section 6.5.6.1(a) through (e) of appendix A of part 75 of this chapter. 

 

(ii) Once the stratification sampling is completed, you may use the following alternative sample point selection criteria for 

the performance test: 

 

(A) If each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within ±10 percent of the mean concentration for all 

traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs by no more than ±5ppm or ±0.5 percent CO2 

(or O2) from the mean for all traverse points, then you may use three points (located either 16.7, 50.0 and 83.3 percent of the

way across the stack or duct, or, for circular stacks or ducts greater than 2.4 meters (7.8 feet) in diameter, at 0.4, 1.2, and 2.0

meters from the wall). The three points must be located along the measurement line that exhibited the highest average NOX

concentration during the stratification test; or 

 

(B) Not Applicable 

 

(C) For turbines with a NOX standard less than or equal to 15 ppm @ 15% O2, you may sample at a single point, located at 

least 1 meter from the stack wall or at the stack centroid if each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within 

±2.5 percent of the mean concentration for all traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs 

by no more than ±1ppm or ±0.15 percent CO2 (or O2) from the mean for all traverse points. 

 

(b) The performance test must be done at any load condition within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. 

You may perform testing at the highest achievable load point, if at least 75 percent of peak load cannot be achieved in 

practice. You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance test. The minimum time per run is 20 minutes. 

 

(1) Not Applicable 

 

(2) For a combined cycle and CHP turbine systems with supplemental heat (duct burner), you must measure the total NOX 

emissions after the duct burner rather than directly after the turbine. The duct burner must be in operation during the 

performance test. 

 

(3) Not Applicable 

 

(4) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 must be demonstrated at each tested load level. 

Compliance is achieved if the three-run arithmetic average NOX emission rate at each tested level meets the applicable

(5) If you elect to install a CEMS, the performance evaluation of the CEMS may either be conducted separately or (as 

described in §60.4405) as part of the initial performance test of the affected unit. 

 

(6) The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F during the performance test.

If the permittee elects to install and certify a NOX-diluent CEMS under §60.4345, then the initial performance test required 

under §60.8 may be performed in the following alternative manner:

(a) Perform a minimum of nine RATA reference method runs, with a minimum time per run of 21 minutes, at a single load 

level, within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F 

during the RATA runs.

(b) For each RATA run, concurrently measure the heat input to the unit using a fuel flow meter (or flow meters) and measure 

the electrical and thermal output from the unit.

(c) Use the test data both to demonstrate compliance with the applicable NOX emission limit under §60.4320 and to provide

the required reference method data for the RATA of the CEMS described under §60.4335.

(d) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 is achieved if the arithmetic average of all of the NOX 

emission rates for the RATA runs, expressed in units of ppm or lb/MWh, does not exceed the emission limit.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent SO2 performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). There are 

three methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. 

 

(1) If the permittee chooses to periodically determine the sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, a 

representative fuel sample would be collected following ASTM D5287 (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) for natural 

gas. The fuel analyses of this section may be performed either by you, a service contractor retained by you, the fuel vendor, 

or any other qualified agency. Analyze the samples for the total sulfur content of the fuel using: 

 

(i) Not Applicable 

 

(ii) For gaseous fuels, ASTM D1072, or alternatively D3246, D4084, D4468, D4810, D6228, D6667, or Gas Processors 

Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by reference, see §60.17). 

 

(2) Measure the SO2 concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Methods 6, 6C, 8, or 20 in appendix A of this part.

In addition, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard, ASME PTC 19-10-1981-Part 10, "Flue and 

Exhaust Gas Analyses," manual methods for sulfur dioxide (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) can be used instead of 

EPA Methods 6 or 20. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, 

using EPA Methods 1 and 2 in appendix A of this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the 

unit. Then use the following equation to calculate the SO2 emission rate: 

"Equation 6" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact notation).

How do I demonstrate continuous compliance for NOX if I do not use water or steam injection?

What are the requirements for the continuous emission monitoring system equipment, if I choose to use this option?

How do I use data from the continuous emission monitoring equipment to identify excess emissions?

(a) If the permittee is not using water or steam injection to control NOX emissions, you must perform annual performance 

tests in accordance with §60.4400 to demonstrate continuous compliance. As an alternative, you may install, calibrate, 

maintain and operate Continuous emission monitoring as described in §§60.4335(b).

(1) Install, certify, maintain, and operate a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) consisting of a NOX monitor and

a diluent gas (oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2)) monitor, to determine the hourly NOX emission rate in parts per million 

(ppm) or pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu); and

(2) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a fuel flow meter (or flow 

meters) to continuously measure the heat input to the affected unit; and

(3) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a watt meter (or meters) to 

continuously measure the gross electrical output of the unit in megawatt-hours; and

(4) For combined heat and power units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 

meters for useful recovered energy flow rate, temperature, and pressure, to continuously measure the total thermal energy 

output in British thermal units per hour (Btu/h).

If the option to use a NOX CEMS is chosen: 

 

(a) Each NOX diluent CEMS must be installed and certified according to Performance Specification 2 (PS 2) in appendix B 

to this part, except the 7-day calibration drift is based on unit operating days, not calendar days. With state approval, 

Procedure 1 in appendix F to this part is not required. Alternatively, a NOX diluent CEMS that is installed and certified 

according to appendix A of part 75 of this chapter is acceptable for use under this subpart. The relative accuracy test audit 

(RATA) of the CEMS shall be performed on a lb/MMBtu basis. 

 

(b) As specified in §60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hour, both the NOX monitor and the diluent monitor must 

complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the

hour, to validate the hour. For partial unit operating hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor 

for each quadrant of the hour in which the unit operates. For unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and 

maintenance activities are performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in each of two quadrants) are 

required for each monitor to validate the NOX emission rate for the hour. 

 

(c) Each fuel flowmeter shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's 

instructions. Alternatively, with state approval, fuel flowmeters that meet the installation, certification, and quality assurance 

requirements of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter are acceptable for use under this subpart. 

 

(d) Each watt meter, steam flow meter, and each pressure or temperature measurement device shall be installed, 

calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's instructions. 

 

(e) The owner or operator shall develop and keep on-site a quality assurance (QA) plan for all of the continuous monitoring 

equipment described in paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of this section. For the CEMS and fuel flow meters, the owner or 

operator may, with state approval, satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by implementing the QA program and plan 

described in section 1 of appendix B to part 75of this chapter.

For purposes of identifying excess emissions:

(a) All CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages as specified in §60.13(h). 

 

(b) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in §60.4345(b), is obtained for both NOX and 

diluent monitors, the data acquisition and handling system must calculate and record the hourly NOX emission rate in units 

of ppm or lb/MMBtu, using the appropriate equation from method 19 in appendix A of this part. For any hour in which the 

hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2 (or the hourly average CO2 concentration is less than 1.0 percent

CO2), a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2 or 1.0 percent CO2 (as applicable) may be used in the emission calculations. 

 

(c) Correction of measured NOX concentrations to 15 percent O2 is not allowed. 

 

(d) If the permittee has installed and certified a NOX diluent CEMS to meet the requirements of part 75 of this chapter, 

states can approve that only quality assured data from the CEMS shall be used to identify excess emissions under this 

subpart. Periods where the missing data substitution procedures in subpart D of part 75 are applied are to be reported as 

monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required under §60.7(c). 

 

(e) All required fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, temperature, pressure, and megawatt data must be reduced to hourly 

averages. 

 

(f) Calculate the hourly average NOX emission rates, in units of the emission standards under §60.4320, using either ppm 

for units complying with the concentration limit or the following equation for units complying with the output based standard: 

 

(1) For simple-cycle operation: 

"Equation 1" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh, 

(NOX)h = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MMBtu, 

(HI)h = hourly heat input rate to the unit, in MMBtu/h, measured using the fuel flowmeter(s), e.g., calculated using Equation 

D-15a in appendix D to part 75 of this chapter, and 

P = gross energy output of the combustion turbine in MW. 

 

(2) For combined-cycle and combined heat and power complying with the output-based standard, use Equation 1 of this 

subpart, except that the gross energy output is calculated as the sum of the total electrical and mechanical energy 

generated by the combustion turbine, the additional electrical or mechanical energy (if any) generated by the steam turbine 

following the heat recovery steam generator, and 100 percent of the total useful thermal energy output that is not used to 

generate additional electricity or mechanical output, expressed in equivalent MW, as in the following equations: 

"Equation 2" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

P = gross energy output of the stationary combustion turbine system in MW. 

(Pe)t = electrical or mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine in MW, 

(Pe)c = electrical or mechanical energy output (if any) of the steam turbine in MW, and

(h) For combined cycle and combined heat and power units with heat recovery, use the calculated hourly average emission 

rates from paragraph (f) of this section to assess excess emissions on a 30 unit operating day rolling average basis, as 

described in §60.4380(b)(1).

The permittee may elect not to monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, if the fuel is 

demonstrated not to exceed potential sulfur emissions of 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in 

continental areas and 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in noncontinental areas or a 

continental area that the Administrator determines does not have access to natural gas and that the removal of sulfur 

compounds would cause more environmental harm than benefit. You must use one of the following sources of information 

to make the required demonstration:

(a) The fuel quality characteristics in a current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet or transportation contract for the fuel, 

specifying that the maximum total sulfur content for oil use in continental areas is 0.05 weight percent (500 ppmw) or less 

and 0.4 weight percent (4,000 ppmw) or less for noncontinental areas, the total sulfur content for natural gas use in 

continental areas is 20 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard cubic feet and 140 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard

cubic feet for noncontinental areas, has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu)

heat input for continental areas and has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas; or

(b) Representative fuel sampling data which show that the sulfur content of the fuel does not exceed 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for continental areas or 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas. At a 

minimum, the amount of fuel sampling data specified in section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter is 

required.

The frequency of determining the sulfur content of the fuel must be as follows:

(a) Not Applicable

(b) Gaseous fuel. If you elect not to demonstrate sulfur content using options in §60.4365, and the fuel is supplied without 

intermediate bulk storage, the sulfur content value of the gaseous fuel must be determined and recorded once per unit 

operating day.

(c) Custom schedules. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, operators or fuel vendors may 

develop custom schedules for determination of the total sulfur content of gaseous fuels, based on the design and operation

of the affected facility and the characteristics of the fuel supply. Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this 

section, custom schedules shall be substantiated with data and shall be approved by the Administrator before they can be 

used to comply with the standard in §60.4330.

(1) The two custom sulfur monitoring schedules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iv) and in paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section are acceptable, without prior Administrative approval:

(i) The owner or operator shall obtain daily total sulfur content measurements for 30 consecutive unit operating days, using 

the applicable methods specified in this subpart. Based on the results of the 30 daily samples, the required frequency for 

subsequent monitoring of the fuel's total sulfur content shall be as specified in paragraph (c)(1)(ii), (iii), or (iv) of this section,

as applicable.

(ii) If none of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content exceeds half the applicable standard, subsequent 

sulfur content monitoring may be performed at 12-month intervals. If any of the samples taken at 12-month intervals has a 

total sulfur content greater than half but less than the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this 

section. If any measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section.

(iii) If at least one of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content is greater than half but less than the 

applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, then:

(A) Collect and analyze a sample every 30 days for 3 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable 

limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(B) 

of this section.

(B) Begin monitoring at 6-month intervals for 12 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, 

follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(C) of 

this section.

(C) Begin monitoring at 12-month intervals. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the 

procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, continue to monitor at this frequency.

(iv) If a sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, immediately begin daily monitoring according to 

paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section. Daily monitoring shall continue until 30 consecutive daily samples, each having a sulfur 

content no greater than the applicable limit, are obtained. At that point, the applicable procedures of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) or 

(iii) of this section shall be followed.

(2) The owner or operator may use the data collected from the 720-hour sulfur sampling demonstration described in 

section 2.3.6 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter to determine a custom sulfur sampling schedule, as follows:

(i) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from the 720 hourly samples does not exceed 20 grains/100 scf, no 

additional monitoring of the sulfur content of the gas is required, for the purposes of this subpart.

(ii) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from any of the 720 hourly samples exceeds 20 grains/100 scf, but none of 

the sulfur content values (when converted to weight percent sulfur) exceeds half the applicable limit, then the minimum 

required sampling frequency shall be one sample at 12 month intervals.

(iii) If any sample result exceeds half the applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, follow the provisions of 

paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section.

How are excess emissions and monitor downtime defined for NOX ?

How are excess emissions and monitoring downtime defined for SO2?

(a) For each affected unit required to continuously monitor parameters or emissions, or to periodically determine the fuel 

sulfur content under this subpart, you must submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime, in accordance with 

§60.7(c). Excess emissions must be reported for all periods of unit operation, including start-up, shutdown, and 

malfunction.

(b) For each affected unit that performs annual performance tests in accordance with §60.4340(a), you must submit a 

written report of the results of each performance test before the close of business on the 60th day following the completion 

of the performance test.

For the purpose of reports required under §60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that must be 

reported are defined as follows:

(a) Not Applicable

(b) For turbines using continuous emission monitoring, as described in §§60.4335(b) and 60.4345:

(1) An excess emissions is any unit operating period in which the 4-hour or 30-day rolling average NOX emission rate 

exceeds the applicable emission limit in §60.4320. For the purposes of this subpart, a “4-hour rolling average NOX 

emission rate” is the arithmetic average of the average NOX emission rate in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the 

continuous emission monitoring equipment for a given hour and the three unit operating hour average NOX emission rates 

immediately preceding that unit operating hour. Calculate the rolling average if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at 

least 3 of the 4 hours. For the purposes of this subpart, a “30-day rolling average NOX emission rate” is the arithmetic 

average of all hourly NOX emission data in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the continuous emission monitoring 

equipment for a given day and the twenty-nine unit operating days immediately preceding that unit operating day. A new 30-

day average is calculated each unit operating day as the average of all hourly NOX emissions rates for the preceding 30 unit

operating days if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at least 75 percent of all operating hours.

(2) A period of monitor downtime is any unit operating hour in which the data for any of the following parameters are either 

missing or invalid: NOX concentration, CO2 or O2 concentration, fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, steam temperature, steam 

pressure, or megawatts. The steam flow rate, steam temperature, and steam pressure are only required if you will use this 

information for compliance purposes.

(3) For operating periods during which multiple emissions standards apply, the applicable standard is the average of the 

applicable standards during each hour. For hours with multiple emissions standards, the applicable limit for that hour is 

determined based on the condition that corresponded to the highest emissions standard.

(c) Not Applicable

If the permittee chooses the option to monitor the sulfur content of the fuel, excess emissions and monitoring downtime are 

defined as follows: 

 

(a) For samples of gaseous fuel and for oil samples obtained using daily sampling, flow proportional sampling, or 

sampling from the unit's storage tank, an excess emission occurs each unit operating hour included in the period 

beginning on the date and hour of any sample for which the sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the combustion turbine 

exceeds the applicable limit and ending on the date and hour that a subsequent sample is taken that demonstrates 

compliance with the sulfur limit. 

 

(b) If the option to sample each delivery of fuel oil has been selected, the permittee must immediately switch to one of the 

other oil sampling options (i.e., daily sampling, flow proportional sampling, or sampling from the unit's storage tank) if the 

sulfur content of a delivery exceeds 0.05 weight percent. The permittee must continue to use one of the other sampling

Plan approval terms and conditions.

How do I determine the total sulfur content of the turbine's combustion fuel?

How do I conduct the initial and subsequent performance tests, regarding NOX ?

(a) Within 180 days of start-up of Source ID P183, the permittee shall conduct EPA reference method testing on Source ID 

P183 for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ammonia slip, volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid 

mist, total PM, total PM10, total

PM2.5 and formaldehyde.

(b) Subsequent EPA reference method testing for volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides (SO2), sulfuric acid mist, total 

PM, total PM10, total PM2.5 and formaldehyde shall be conducted every two years from the date of the previous tests. The 

testing frequency may be revised based upon the satisfactory demonstration of compliance with the emission limitations.

(c) The permittee shall follow the testing and notification requirements specified in Section C, Site Level Requirements, of 

this plan approval.

The permittee shall monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the turbine, except as provided in §60.4365. The 

sulfur content of the fuel must be determined using total sulfur methods described in §60.4415. Alternatively, if the total 

sulfur content of the gaseous fuel during the most recent performance test was less than half the applicable limit, ASTM 

D4084, D4810, D5504, or D6228, or Gas Processors Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by 

reference, see §60.17), which measure the major sulfur compounds, may be used.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent NOX performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). 

 

(1) There are two general methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. For each test run: 

 

(i) Measure the NOX concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Method 7E or EPA Method 20 in appendix A of 

this part. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, using EPA 

Methods 1 and 2 in appendix Aof this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the unit. Then, 

use the following equation to calculate the NOX emission rate: 

"Equation 5" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh 

1.194 x 10-7 = conversion constant, in lb/dscf-ppm 

(NOX)c = average NOX concentration for the run, in ppm 

Qstd = stack gas volumetric flow rate, in dscf/hr 

P = gross electrical and mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine, in MW (for simple-cycle operation), for 

II. TESTING REQUIREMENTS.

Warm start is identified as a restart occurring between 12 hours to 72 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 75 

minutes in duration.

Hot start is identified as a restart occurring less than 12 hours after shutdown and shall not exceed 66 minutes duration.

Shut down is the period of time during the reduction in load of the CT for the purposes of shutting down the source and shall

not exceed 60 minutes duration.

combined-cycle operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam turbines, or, for 

combined heat and power operation, the sum of all electrical and mechanical output from the combustion and steam 

turbines plus all useful recovered thermal output not used for additional electric or mechanical generation, in MW, 

calculated according to §60.4350(f)(2); or 

 

(ii) Measure the NOX and diluent gas concentrations, using either EPA Methods 7E and 3A, or EPA Method 20 in appendix A

of this part. Concurrently measure the heat input to the unit, using a fuel flowmeter (or flowmeters), and measure the 

electrical and thermal output of the unit. Use EPA Method 19 in appendix Aof this part to calculate the NOX emission rate in 

lb/MMBtu. Then, use Equations 1 and, if necessary, 2 and 3 in §60.4350(f) to calculate the NOX emission rate in lb/MWh. 

 

(2) Sampling traverse points for NOX and (if applicable) diluent gas are to be selected following EPA Method 20or EPA 

Method 1 (non-particulate procedures), and sampled for equal time intervals. The sampling must be performed with a 

traversing single-hole probe, or, if feasible, with a stationary multi-hole probe that samples each of the points sequentially. 

Alternatively, a multi-hole probe designed and documented to sample equal volumes from each hole may be used to 

sample simultaneously at the required points. 

 

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may test at fewer points than are specified in EPA Method 1 or EPA

Method 20 in appendix A of this part if the following conditions are met: 

 

(i) The permittee may perform a stratification test for NOX and diluent pursuant to 

 

(A) [Reserved], or 

 

(B) The procedures specified in section 6.5.6.1(a) through (e) of appendix A of part 75 of this chapter. 

 

(ii) Once the stratification sampling is completed, you may use the following alternative sample point selection criteria for 

the performance test: 

 

(A) If each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within ±10 percent of the mean concentration for all 

traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs by no more than ±5ppm or ±0.5 percent CO2 

(or O2) from the mean for all traverse points, then you may use three points (located either 16.7, 50.0 and 83.3 percent of the

way across the stack or duct, or, for circular stacks or ducts greater than 2.4 meters (7.8 feet) in diameter, at 0.4, 1.2, and 2.0

meters from the wall). The three points must be located along the measurement line that exhibited the highest average NOX

concentration during the stratification test; or 

 

(B) Not Applicable 

 

(C) For turbines with a NOX standard less than or equal to 15 ppm @ 15% O2, you may sample at a single point, located at 

least 1 meter from the stack wall or at the stack centroid if each of the individual traverse point NOX concentrations is within 

±2.5 percent of the mean concentration for all traverse points, or the individual traverse point diluent concentrations differs 

by no more than ±1ppm or ±0.15 percent CO2 (or O2) from the mean for all traverse points. 

 

(b) The performance test must be done at any load condition within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. 

You may perform testing at the highest achievable load point, if at least 75 percent of peak load cannot be achieved in 

practice. You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance test. The minimum time per run is 20 minutes. 

 

(1) Not Applicable 

 

(2) For a combined cycle and CHP turbine systems with supplemental heat (duct burner), you must measure the total NOX 

emissions after the duct burner rather than directly after the turbine. The duct burner must be in operation during the 

performance test. 

 

(3) Not Applicable 

 

(4) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 must be demonstrated at each tested load level. 

Compliance is achieved if the three-run arithmetic average NOX emission rate at each tested level meets the applicable

(5) If you elect to install a CEMS, the performance evaluation of the CEMS may either be conducted separately or (as 

described in §60.4405) as part of the initial performance test of the affected unit. 

 

(6) The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F during the performance test.

If the permittee elects to install and certify a NOX-diluent CEMS under §60.4345, then the initial performance test required 

under §60.8 may be performed in the following alternative manner:

(a) Perform a minimum of nine RATA reference method runs, with a minimum time per run of 21 minutes, at a single load 

level, within plus or minus 25 percent of 100 percent of peak load. The ambient temperature must be greater than 0 °F 

during the RATA runs.

(b) For each RATA run, concurrently measure the heat input to the unit using a fuel flow meter (or flow meters) and measure 

the electrical and thermal output from the unit.

(c) Use the test data both to demonstrate compliance with the applicable NOX emission limit under §60.4320 and to provide

the required reference method data for the RATA of the CEMS described under §60.4335.

(d) Compliance with the applicable emission limit in §60.4320 is achieved if the arithmetic average of all of the NOX 

emission rates for the RATA runs, expressed in units of ppm or lb/MWh, does not exceed the emission limit.

(a) The permittee shall conduct an initial performance test, as required in §60.8. Subsequent SO2 performance tests shall 

be conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following the previous performance test). There are 

three methodologies that you may use to conduct the performance tests. 

 

(1) If the permittee chooses to periodically determine the sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, a 

representative fuel sample would be collected following ASTM D5287 (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) for natural 

gas. The fuel analyses of this section may be performed either by you, a service contractor retained by you, the fuel vendor, 

or any other qualified agency. Analyze the samples for the total sulfur content of the fuel using: 

 

(i) Not Applicable 

 

(ii) For gaseous fuels, ASTM D1072, or alternatively D3246, D4084, D4468, D4810, D6228, D6667, or Gas Processors 

Association Standard 2377 (all of which are incorporated by reference, see §60.17). 

 

(2) Measure the SO2 concentration (in parts per million (ppm)), using EPA Methods 6, 6C, 8, or 20 in appendix A of this part.

In addition, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard, ASME PTC 19-10-1981-Part 10, "Flue and 

Exhaust Gas Analyses," manual methods for sulfur dioxide (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) can be used instead of 

EPA Methods 6 or 20. For units complying with the output based standard, concurrently measure the stack gas flow rate, 

using EPA Methods 1 and 2 in appendix A of this part, and measure and record the electrical and thermal output from the 

unit. Then use the following equation to calculate the SO2 emission rate: 

"Equation 6" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact notation).

How do I demonstrate continuous compliance for NOX if I do not use water or steam injection?

What are the requirements for the continuous emission monitoring system equipment, if I choose to use this option?

How do I use data from the continuous emission monitoring equipment to identify excess emissions?

(a) If the permittee is not using water or steam injection to control NOX emissions, you must perform annual performance 

tests in accordance with §60.4400 to demonstrate continuous compliance. As an alternative, you may install, calibrate, 

maintain and operate Continuous emission monitoring as described in §§60.4335(b).

(1) Install, certify, maintain, and operate a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) consisting of a NOX monitor and

a diluent gas (oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2)) monitor, to determine the hourly NOX emission rate in parts per million 

(ppm) or pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu); and

(2) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a fuel flow meter (or flow 

meters) to continuously measure the heat input to the affected unit; and

(3) For units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a watt meter (or meters) to 

continuously measure the gross electrical output of the unit in megawatt-hours; and

(4) For combined heat and power units complying with the output-based standard, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 

meters for useful recovered energy flow rate, temperature, and pressure, to continuously measure the total thermal energy 

output in British thermal units per hour (Btu/h).

If the option to use a NOX CEMS is chosen: 

 

(a) Each NOX diluent CEMS must be installed and certified according to Performance Specification 2 (PS 2) in appendix B 

to this part, except the 7-day calibration drift is based on unit operating days, not calendar days. With state approval, 

Procedure 1 in appendix F to this part is not required. Alternatively, a NOX diluent CEMS that is installed and certified 

according to appendix A of part 75 of this chapter is acceptable for use under this subpart. The relative accuracy test audit 

(RATA) of the CEMS shall be performed on a lb/MMBtu basis. 

 

(b) As specified in §60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hour, both the NOX monitor and the diluent monitor must 

complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the

hour, to validate the hour. For partial unit operating hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor 

for each quadrant of the hour in which the unit operates. For unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and 

maintenance activities are performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in each of two quadrants) are 

required for each monitor to validate the NOX emission rate for the hour. 

 

(c) Each fuel flowmeter shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's 

instructions. Alternatively, with state approval, fuel flowmeters that meet the installation, certification, and quality assurance 

requirements of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter are acceptable for use under this subpart. 

 

(d) Each watt meter, steam flow meter, and each pressure or temperature measurement device shall be installed, 

calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's instructions. 

 

(e) The owner or operator shall develop and keep on-site a quality assurance (QA) plan for all of the continuous monitoring 

equipment described in paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of this section. For the CEMS and fuel flow meters, the owner or 

operator may, with state approval, satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by implementing the QA program and plan 

described in section 1 of appendix B to part 75of this chapter.

For purposes of identifying excess emissions:

(a) All CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages as specified in §60.13(h). 

 

(b) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in §60.4345(b), is obtained for both NOX and 

diluent monitors, the data acquisition and handling system must calculate and record the hourly NOX emission rate in units 

of ppm or lb/MMBtu, using the appropriate equation from method 19 in appendix A of this part. For any hour in which the 

hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2 (or the hourly average CO2 concentration is less than 1.0 percent

CO2), a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2 or 1.0 percent CO2 (as applicable) may be used in the emission calculations. 

 

(c) Correction of measured NOX concentrations to 15 percent O2 is not allowed. 

 

(d) If the permittee has installed and certified a NOX diluent CEMS to meet the requirements of part 75 of this chapter, 

states can approve that only quality assured data from the CEMS shall be used to identify excess emissions under this 

subpart. Periods where the missing data substitution procedures in subpart D of part 75 are applied are to be reported as 

monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required under §60.7(c). 

 

(e) All required fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, temperature, pressure, and megawatt data must be reduced to hourly 

averages. 

 

(f) Calculate the hourly average NOX emission rates, in units of the emission standards under §60.4320, using either ppm 

for units complying with the concentration limit or the following equation for units complying with the output based standard: 

 

(1) For simple-cycle operation: 

"Equation 1" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

E = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MWh, 

(NOX)h = hourly NOX emission rate, in lb/MMBtu, 

(HI)h = hourly heat input rate to the unit, in MMBtu/h, measured using the fuel flowmeter(s), e.g., calculated using Equation 

D-15a in appendix D to part 75 of this chapter, and 

P = gross energy output of the combustion turbine in MW. 

 

(2) For combined-cycle and combined heat and power complying with the output-based standard, use Equation 1 of this 

subpart, except that the gross energy output is calculated as the sum of the total electrical and mechanical energy 

generated by the combustion turbine, the additional electrical or mechanical energy (if any) generated by the steam turbine 

following the heat recovery steam generator, and 100 percent of the total useful thermal energy output that is not used to 

generate additional electricity or mechanical output, expressed in equivalent MW, as in the following equations: 

"Equation 2" 

(Formula omitted...refer to regulation for exact formula notation).

Where: 

P = gross energy output of the stationary combustion turbine system in MW. 

(Pe)t = electrical or mechanical energy output of the combustion turbine in MW, 

(Pe)c = electrical or mechanical energy output (if any) of the steam turbine in MW, and

rates from paragraph (f) of this section to assess excess emissions on a 30 unit operating day rolling average basis, as 

described in §60.4380(b)(1).

The permittee may elect not to monitor the total sulfur content of the fuel combusted in the turbine, if the fuel is 

demonstrated not to exceed potential sulfur emissions of 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in 

continental areas and 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for units located in noncontinental areas or a 

continental area that the Administrator determines does not have access to natural gas and that the removal of sulfur 

compounds would cause more environmental harm than benefit. You must use one of the following sources of information 

to make the required demonstration:

(a) The fuel quality characteristics in a current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet or transportation contract for the fuel, 

specifying that the maximum total sulfur content for oil use in continental areas is 0.05 weight percent (500 ppmw) or less 

and 0.4 weight percent (4,000 ppmw) or less for noncontinental areas, the total sulfur content for natural gas use in 

continental areas is 20 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard cubic feet and 140 grains of sulfur or less per 100 standard

cubic feet for noncontinental areas, has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu)

heat input for continental areas and has potential sulfur emissions of less than less than 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas; or

(b) Representative fuel sampling data which show that the sulfur content of the fuel does not exceed 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb 

SO2/MMBtu) heat input for continental areas or 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input for noncontinental areas. At a 

minimum, the amount of fuel sampling data specified in section 2.3.1.4 or 2.3.2.4 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter is 

required.

The frequency of determining the sulfur content of the fuel must be as follows:

(b) Gaseous fuel. If you elect not to demonstrate sulfur content using options in §60.4365, and the fuel is supplied without 

intermediate bulk storage, the sulfur content value of the gaseous fuel must be determined and recorded once per unit 

operating day.

(c) Custom schedules. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, operators or fuel vendors may 

develop custom schedules for determination of the total sulfur content of gaseous fuels, based on the design and operation

of the affected facility and the characteristics of the fuel supply. Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this 

section, custom schedules shall be substantiated with data and shall be approved by the Administrator before they can be 

used to comply with the standard in §60.4330.

(1) The two custom sulfur monitoring schedules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iv) and in paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section are acceptable, without prior Administrative approval:

(i) The owner or operator shall obtain daily total sulfur content measurements for 30 consecutive unit operating days, using 

the applicable methods specified in this subpart. Based on the results of the 30 daily samples, the required frequency for 

subsequent monitoring of the fuel's total sulfur content shall be as specified in paragraph (c)(1)(ii), (iii), or (iv) of this section,

as applicable.

(ii) If none of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content exceeds half the applicable standard, subsequent 

sulfur content monitoring may be performed at 12-month intervals. If any of the samples taken at 12-month intervals has a 

total sulfur content greater than half but less than the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this 

section. If any measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section.

(iii) If at least one of the 30 daily measurements of the fuel's total sulfur content is greater than half but less than the 

applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, then:

(A) Collect and analyze a sample every 30 days for 3 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable 

limit, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(B) 

of this section.

(B) Begin monitoring at 6-month intervals for 12 months. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, 

follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, follow the procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(C) of 

this section.

(C) Begin monitoring at 12-month intervals. If any sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, follow the 

procedures in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. Otherwise, continue to monitor at this frequency.

(iv) If a sulfur content measurement exceeds the applicable limit, immediately begin daily monitoring according to 

paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section. Daily monitoring shall continue until 30 consecutive daily samples, each having a sulfur 

content no greater than the applicable limit, are obtained. At that point, the applicable procedures of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) or 

(iii) of this section shall be followed.

(2) The owner or operator may use the data collected from the 720-hour sulfur sampling demonstration described in 

section 2.3.6 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter to determine a custom sulfur sampling schedule, as follows:

(i) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from the 720 hourly samples does not exceed 20 grains/100 scf, no 

additional monitoring of the sulfur content of the gas is required, for the purposes of this subpart.

(ii) If the maximum fuel sulfur content obtained from any of the 720 hourly samples exceeds 20 grains/100 scf, but none of 

the sulfur content values (when converted to weight percent sulfur) exceeds half the applicable limit, then the minimum 

required sampling frequency shall be one sample at 12 month intervals.

(iii) If any sample result exceeds half the applicable limit, but none exceeds the applicable limit, follow the provisions of 

paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section.

How are excess emissions and monitor downtime defined for NOX ?

How are excess emissions and monitoring downtime defined for SO2?

(a) For each affected unit required to continuously monitor parameters or emissions, or to periodically determine the fuel 

sulfur content under this subpart, you must submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime, in accordance with 

§60.7(c). Excess emissions must be reported for all periods of unit operation, including start-up, shutdown, and 

malfunction.

(b) For each affected unit that performs annual performance tests in accordance with §60.4340(a), you must submit a 

written report of the results of each performance test before the close of business on the 60th day following the completion 

of the performance test.

For the purpose of reports required under §60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that must be 

reported are defined as follows:

(a) Not Applicable

(b) For turbines using continuous emission monitoring, as described in §§60.4335(b) and 60.4345:

(1) An excess emissions is any unit operating period in which the 4-hour or 30-day rolling average NOX emission rate 

exceeds the applicable emission limit in §60.4320. For the purposes of this subpart, a “4-hour rolling average NOX 

emission rate” is the arithmetic average of the average NOX emission rate in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the 

continuous emission monitoring equipment for a given hour and the three unit operating hour average NOX emission rates 

immediately preceding that unit operating hour. Calculate the rolling average if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at 

least 3 of the 4 hours. For the purposes of this subpart, a “30-day rolling average NOX emission rate” is the arithmetic 

average of all hourly NOX emission data in ppm or ng/J (lb/MWh) measured by the continuous emission monitoring 

equipment for a given day and the twenty-nine unit operating days immediately preceding that unit operating day. A new 30-

day average is calculated each unit operating day as the average of all hourly NOX emissions rates for the preceding 30 unit

operating days if a valid NOX emission rate is obtained for at least 75 percent of all operating hours.

(2) A period of monitor downtime is any unit operating hour in which the data for any of the following parameters are either 

missing or invalid: NOX concentration, CO2 or O2 concentration, fuel flow rate, steam flow rate, steam temperature, steam 

pressure, or megawatts. The steam flow rate, steam temperature, and steam pressure are only required if you will use this 

information for compliance purposes.

(3) For operating periods during which multiple emissions standards apply, the applicable standard is the average of the 

applicable standards during each hour. For hours with multiple emissions standards, the applicable limit for that hour is 

determined based on the condition that corresponded to the highest emissions standard.

(c) Not Applicable

If the permittee chooses the option to monitor the sulfur content of the fuel, excess emissions and monitoring downtime are 

defined as follows: 

 

(a) For samples of gaseous fuel and for oil samples obtained using daily sampling, flow proportional sampling, or 

sampling from the unit's storage tank, an excess emission occurs each unit operating hour included in the period 

beginning on the date and hour of any sample for which the sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the combustion turbine
