Document:
Establishes the maximum levels of air pollution emissions by stationary sources .
Art. 1 To establish maximum atmospheric pollution emission limits for point sources.
Single paragraph. The limits are set by polluting agent and type of source according to the contents of the annexes of this Resolution.
V – technical data and measurements of emissions performed throughout the country, as well as the bibliographic survey of practices both in Brazil and abroad regarding the manufacturing and use of hardware and the corresponding demands placed by the licensing organs.
i) pollution-generating prevention: production process concept that minimizes the generation of pollution and eliminates or reduces the usage of control hardware, also known as Pollution Prevention and Clean Production.
e) SOx : is the sum of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3) concentrations and is expressed as (SO2).
Temperature = 273 K (corresponding to 0°C).
d) Emission rate: the representative rate that relates the mass of a specific pollutant released into the atmosphere and the time unit (mass/time) in kg/h, g/s.
Single paragraph. It is recommended to avoid the expression “Heavy Metals” in processes related to the implementation of this Resolution as they do not have a scientific definition and should be substituted by specific interest metals.
Art. 4 Verification of compliance with emission limits must be performed according to sample and analysis methodologies specified by scientifically acknowledged technical procedures and approved by the licensing environmental organ.
§ 1 Specific cases related to particle substances must adopt emission measurement methods for punctual source particles according to norm NBR 12019 or NBR 12827, or any other equivalent method that has been approved by the licensing environmental organ.
§ 2 The analytical determination of other pollutants may be performed according to other automated sample and analysis methods as long as they have been previously approved by the licensing environmental organ.
§ 3 The measurement results must be compiled into a report, with a periodicity set by the licensing environmental organ, containing all measurement results, the used sample and analysis methodologies, the process operational conditions including combustible types and quantities and/or operational costs, apart from any other data demanded by the licensing environmental organ.
§ 1 Discontinuous atmospheric emission monitoring must be performed in the specific operational conditions listed in the annexes for each pollution source.
II – emission limits are considered as fulfilled if the results of three discontinuous measurements performed during a single period comply with the medium arithmetic measurement and one of the results may be discarded if it is considered as discrepant.
IV – emission limits collected through continuous monitoring is accepted when at least 90% of the daily measurements are related to 100% of the limit and the rest of the daily medium rates 130% of the limit.
§ 3 The licensing organ may establish additional criteria for the validation of test data.
Art. 6 This Resolution applies to point source atmospheric polluting activities whose Installation License has been granted by the licensing organs after the publication of this Resolution.
§ 1 The licensing environmental organ may, for well-motivated reasons, apply more restrictive emission limits than those established by this Resolution in areas where air quality management demands such action.
§ 2 The licensing environmental organ may, for well-motivated reasons, and at its discretion, establish less stringent emission limits than those established by this Resolution for fixed amospheric emission sources, for modifications that require licenses in sources already under operation and with valid licenses, which show proved environmental gains, such as the conversion to gas boilers, which minimize the environmental impacts of sources that were originally projected with other emission rates based on combustible oil and mineral coal.
Art. 7 Existing and operational point sources and which hold installation licenses that were granted before the issuing of this Resolution must be subjected to emission limits by the licensing environmental organ through well founded decision methods and at any moment or during the license renewal period.
§ 1 The licensing environmental organ may establish less restrictive rates than the maximum emission rates established by this Resolution due to technological limitations and the impact on local conditions, according to CONAMA Resolution 5 of June 15, 1989.
§ 2 The licensing environmental organ may establish mandatory goals for emission limits due to considerations related to the local impact of existing pollution sources and through a specific documentation process.
Art. 8 Criteria and emission limits established by CONAMA Resolution 8 of Dec. 6, 1990 apply, from the date of publication of this Resolution until the establishment of specific limits, for heat generating processes that are not includedin this Resolution.
