Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 225 - CONTROL OF EMISSIONS FROM LARGE COMBUSTION SOURCES › Subpart E - CAIR NO[x] OZONE SEASON TRADING PROGRAM › Section 225.550 - Monitoring, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Gross Electrical Output and Useful Thermal Energy

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) By
				January 1, 2008, or by the date of commencing commercial operation, whichever
				is later, the owner or operator of the CAIR NOx Ozone
				Season unit must operate a system for accurately measuring gross electrical
				output that is consistent with the requirements of either 40 CFR 60 or 75; must
				measure gross electrical output in MWh using such a system; and must record the
				output of the measurement system at all times. If a generator is served by two
				or more units, the information to determine each unit's heat input for that
				control period must also be recorded, so as to allow each unit's share of the
				gross electrical output to be determined. If heat input data is used, the owner
				or operator must comply with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 75, as
				incorporated by reference in Section
				225.140.
b) For a CAIR NOx
				Ozone Season unit that is a cogeneration unit, by January 1, 2008, or by the
				date the CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit commences to produce
				useful thermal energy, whichever is later, the owner or operator of the unit
				with cogeneration capabilities must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate
				meters for steam flow in lbs/hr, temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and
				pressure in PSI, to measure and record the useful thermal energy that is
				produced, in mmBtu/hr, on a continuous basis. Owners and operators of a CAIR
				NOx Ozone Season unit that produces useful thermal
				energy but uses an energy transfer medium other than steam, e.g., hot water or
				glycol, must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate the necessary meters to
				measure and record the necessary data to express the useful thermal energy
				produced, in mmBtu/hr, on a continuous basis. If the CAIR
				NOx Ozone Season unit ceases to produce useful thermal
				energy, the owner or operator may cease operation of these meters, provided
				that operation of such meters must be resumed if the CAIR
				NOx Ozone Season unit resumes production of useful
				thermal energy.
c) The owner or
				operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit must either
				report gross electrical output data to the Agency or comply with the applicable
				provisions for providing heat input data to USEPA as follows:
1) By September 15, 2007, the gross
				electrical output for control periods 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, if
				available, and the unit's useful thermal energy data, if applicable. If a
				generator is served by two or more units, the documentation needed to determine
				each unit's share of the heat input of such units for that control period must
				also be submitted. If heat input data is used, the owner or operator must
				comply with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 75, as incorporated by
				reference in Section 225.140.
2) By
				June 1, 2008, the gross electrical output for control periods 2006 and 2007, if
				available, and the unit's useful thermal energy data, if applicable. If a
				generator is served by two or more units, the documentation needed to determine
				each unit's share of the heat input of such units for that control period must
				also be submitted. If heat input data is used, the owner or operator must
				comply with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 75, as incorporated by
				reference in Section 225.140.
