Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 225 - CONTROL OF EMISSIONS FROM LARGE COMBUSTION SOURCES › Subpart D - CAIR NO[x] ANNUAL TRADING PROGRAM › Section 225.450 - 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 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 unit
				that is a cogeneration unit, by January 1, 2008, or by the date the CAIR
				NOx 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
				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 unit ceases to produce useful thermal
				energy, the owner or operator may cease operation of the meters, provided that
				operation of these meters must be resumed if the CAIR
				NOx unit resumes production of useful thermal
				energy.
c) The owner or operator of
				a CAIR NOx 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.
