NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 224.10-100(5) requires the cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations for the prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution. This administrative regulation provides for the control of emissions from new indirect heat exchangers.
(a) August 17, 1971, for an affected facility with a capacity greater than 250 MMBTU/hr[(MMBTU/hr)] heat input; and[:
3. For nitrogen oxide emissions if fuels other than lignite are burned;]
(4) "GCV" means gross calorific value[for particulate emissions and sulfur dioxide emissions; and
(4) "COMS" means continuous monitoring system for opacity].
(6) "Shutdown period" means the period:
(a) Beginning when, whichever occurs first:
1. The affected facility no longer supplies useful thermal energy for heating, cooling, process purposes, or generation of electricity; or
2. Fuel is not being combusted in the affected facility; and
1. The affected facility no longer supplies useful thermal energy for heating, cooling, process purposes, or generation of electricity; and
2. Fuel is not being combusted in the affected facility.
(7) "Startup period" means the period:
(a) Beginning with either:
1. The combustion of any fuel in an affected facility for the purpose of supplying useful thermal energy for heating, cooling, process purposes, or generation of electricity; or
2. The combustion of fuel in an affected facility for any purpose after a shutdown event; and
(b) Ending after the longest manufacturer-recommended time required to engage all control devices utilized by the affected facility applicable to the pollutant, not to exceed four (4) hours after any of the useful thermal energy from the affected facility is supplied for any purpose.
(2) An affected facility subject to 40 C.F.R. 60.40 to 60.46 (Subpart D),[;] 60.40Da to 60.52Da (Subpart Da),[;] 60.40b to 60.49b (Subpart Db),[;] or 60.40c to 60.48c (Subpart Dc) shall be exempt from Sections 3 through 6 of this administrative regulation for each pollutant covered under this administrative regulation with a specific emission standard in the applicable New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 60.
(3) A source[Sources] may submit a request to[petition] the cabinet for approval of[to approve] an allowable emission rate apportioned independently from individual heat input pursuant to this subsection, as follows:
(a) The following equation shall be used to determine the allowable emissions rate: , in which:
(2) For simultaneously combusting[burning] different fuels in combination, the applicable standard shall be determined by prorating BTUs pursuant to the following equation: Allowable sulfur dioxide emission in lb/MMBTU[/hr heat input] = [ {y(a) + z(b)}/(y + z)], in which:
(d) a = allowable sulfur dioxide emission in lb/MMBTU[/hr heat input] derived from liquid[or gaseous] fuel;[and]
Section 8. ] Test Methods and Procedures. (1) Except as established[provided] in 401 KAR 50:045, the reference methods established[specified] in 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Appendix A, shall be used to determine compliance with Sections 4 and 5[, 5, and 6] of this administrative regulation as follows:
(a) Reference Method 1 shall be used for the selection of sampling site and sample traverses;
(b) Reference Method 3 shall be used for gas analysis in applying Reference Methods 5 and 6[, 6, and 7];
(c) Reference Method 5 shall be used for concentration of particulate matter and the associated moisture content;
(d) Reference Method 6 shall be used for the concentration of sulfur dioxide; and
(e)[Reference Method 7 shall be used for the concentration of nitrogen oxides; and
(f)] Reference Method 9 shall be used for visible emissions.
(b) The sampling point in the duct shall be at the centroid of the cross section or at a point no closer to the walls than one (1) meter (3.28 ft);[and]
(c)[For Reference Method 6,]The sample shall be extracted at a rate proportional to the gas velocity at the sampling point;[.
a. For determination of sulfur dioxide [and nitrogen oxides] emissions, the oxygen sample shall be obtained simultaneously at the same point in the duct as used to obtain the samples for Reference Method 6.[Methods 6 and 7] determinations[, respectively, with the oxygen sample for reference Method 7 obtained using the grab sampling and analysis procedures of Reference Method 3; and]
Section 7. Standards during a startup period or a shutdown period. During a startup period or a shutdown period, an owner or operator shall comply with the work practice standards established in this section. (1)(a) At all times, the owner or operator of each affected facility shall operate the affected facility and all applicable control devices in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions;
(c) All possible steps shall be taken by the owner or operator to minimize the impact of emissions on ambient air quality from the affected facility during startup periods and shutdown periods;
2. Recommended procedures for a unit of similar design, for which manufacturer’s recommended procedures are available, as approved by the cabinet based on documentation provided by the owner or operator of the affected facility; and
(2)(a) An affected facility subject to 40 C.F.R. 63.7500 shall meet the work practice standards established in Table 3 to Subpart DDDDD of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, as established in 401 KAR 63:002, Section 2(4)(iiii);
(b) An affected facility subject to 40 C.F.R. 63.9991 shall meet the work practice standards established in Table 3 to Subpart UUUUU of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, as established in 401 KAR 63:002, Section 2(4)(yyyy); or
(c) An affected facility subject to 40 C.F.R. 63.11201 shall meet the work practice standards established in Table 2 to Subpart JJJJJJ of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, as established in 401 KAR 63:002, Section 2(4)(jjjjj).
