Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 225 - CONTROL OF EMISSIONS FROM LARGE COMBUSTION SOURCES › Subpart B - CONTROL OF MERCURY EMISSIONS FROM COAL-FIRED ELECTRIC GENERATING UNITS › Section 225.265 - Coal Analysis for Input Mercury Levels

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The owner or operator of an EGU complying
				with this Subpart B by means of Section
				225.230(a)(1)(B);
				using input mercury levels (Ii) and complying by means
				of Section
				225.230(b)
				or (d) or Section
				225.232;
				electing to comply with the emissions testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping
				requirements under Section
				225.239;
				demonstrating compliance under Section
				225.233,
				except an EGU in an MPS Group that elects to comply with the emission standard
				in Section
				225.233(d)(1)(A)
				or (d)(2)(A); or demonstrating compliance
				under Sections
				225.291
				through
				225.299,
				except an EGU in a CPS Group that elects to comply with the emission standard
				in Section
				225.294(c)(1)
				or that opts into the emission standard in Section
				225.294(c)(1)
				pursuant to Section
				225.294(e)(1)
				or that has permanently ceased combusting coal must fulfill the following
				requirements:
1) Perform sampling of the coal
				combusted in the EGU for mercury content. The owner or operator of such EGU
				must collect a minimum of one 2-lb. grab sample from the belt feeders anywhere
				between the crusher house or breaker building and the boiler or, in cases in
				which a crusher house or breaker building is not present, at a reasonable point
				close to the boiler of a subject EGU, according to the schedule in subsections
				(a)(1)(A) through (C). The sample must be taken in a manner that provides a
				representative mercury content for the coal burned on that day. If multiple
				samples are tested, the owner or operator must average those tests to arrive at
				the final mercury content for that time period. The owner or operator of the
				EGU must perform coal sampling as follows:
A)
				EGUs complying by means of Section 225.233, except an EGU in an MPS Group that
				elects to comply with the control efficiency standard in Section
				225.233(d)(1)(B)
				or (d)(2)(B) or elects to comply with Section
				225.233(d)(4),
				or Sections
				225.291
				through 225.299, except an EGU in a CPS Group that elects to comply with the
				control efficiency standard in Section
				225.294(c)(2)
				or that opts into the emission standard in Section
				225.294(c)(2)
				pursuant to Section
				225.294(e)(1)
				must perform such coal sampling at least once per month unless the boiler did
				not operate or combust coal at all during that month;
B) EGUs complying by means of the emissions
				testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements under Section
				225.239
				or Section
				225.233(d)(4),
				or EGUs that opt into the emission standard in Section
				225.294(c)(2)
				pursuant to Section
				225.294(e)(1)(B),
				must perform such coal sampling according to the schedule provided in Section
				225.239(e)(3)
				of this Subpart;
C) All other EGUs
				subject to this requirement, including EGUs in an MPS or CPS Group electing to
				comply with the control efficiency standard in Section
				225.233(d)(1)(B)
				or (d)(2)(B), Section
				225.294(c)(2),
				or Section
				225.294(c)(2)
				pursuant to Section
				225.294(e)(1)(A),
				must perform such coal sampling on a daily basis when the boiler is operating
				and combusting coal.
