Rule Title(s): Industrial, Institutional, and Commerc ial Boilers, Steam Generators, and Process Heaters

Date Submitted to ARB: April 18, 2013

If an Amended Rule, Date Last Amended (or Adopted): N/A

Is the Rule Intended to be Sent to the U.S. EPA as a SIP Revision? Yes No ( If No, do not complete remainder of form)

Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Rule 3.21 requires various boilers, steam generators, and process heaters that have a rating greater than 1

million BTU per hour to employ a compliance strategy. Sm all boilers, those rated between 1 to 5 MMBTU/hr, will

generally either limit their permitted operations to less than 90,000 therms per year or be tuned-up once a year by

a qualified technician. Larger boilers, those rated abov e 5 MMBTU/hr, will generally have to be source tested

using EPA/CARB approved test methods to show compliance with the Rule emission limits.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2

(CO) PM TAC (name):

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when implemented, w ill result in quantifiable changes in emissions. Attach referenc e(s) for emission factor(s)

and other information. Attach calculation sheet showi ng how the emission information provided below was determined

.

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: none

Inventory Year Used to Calculate C hanges in Emissions: 2008 Area Affected: Yuba and Sutter Counties

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible) :

The District identified 9 boilers with a capacity of 5 MMBTU/hr and 57 boilers with a capacity between 1-5 MMBTU/hr.

NOx emission reductions from the larger boilers are estimated to be around 5.47 tons/yr in North FRAQMD and 0 tons/yr

in the SFNA portion of the District. The smaller boilers will be tuned-up once a year, which will demonstrate that the CO

emissions won't rise above 400 ppm.CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD
