Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES › Division 10 - Air Conservation Commission › Chapter 6 - Air Quality Standards, Definitions, Sampling and Reference Methods and Air Pollution Control Regulations for the Entire State of Missouri › Section 10 CSR 10-6.405 - Restriction of Particulate Matter Emissions from Fuel Burning Equipment Used for Indirect Heating

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to
				  update incorporation by reference information, make typographical corrections,
				  and remove the unnecessary use of restrictive words. The evidence supporting
				  the need for this proposed amendment, per 536.016, RSMo, is Executive Order
				  17-03 Red Tape Reduction Review and related comments.
PURPOSE: This rule restricts the emission of
				  particulate matter from fuel burning equipment used for indirect heating except
				  where 10
				  CSR 10-6.070 would be applied. The evidence supporting
				  the need for this proposed rulemaking, per section
				  536.016,
				  RSMo, is a necessity evidence memorandum dated March 5, 2008.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has
				  determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is
				  incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome
				  or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be
				  maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the
				  public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of
				  reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text
				  of the rule is printed here.
(1) Applicability.
(A) This rule applies throughout the state
				with additional conditions applicable to the metropolitan areas of Kansas City,
				Springfield, and St. Louis as found in sections (2) and (3) of this
				rule.
(B) This rule applies to
				installations in which fuel is burned for the primary purpose of producing
				steam, hot water, or hot air or other indirect heating of liquids, gases, or
				solids and, in the course of doing so, the products of combustion do not come
				into direct contact with process materials. Fuels may include, but are not
				limited to, coal, tire derived fuel, coke, lignite, coke breeze, gas, fuel oil,
				bio-mass, and wood, but do not include refuse. When any products or byproducts
				of a manufacturing process are burned for the same purpose or in conjunction
				with any fuel, the same maximum emission rate limitations apply.
(C) An emission unit that is subject to
				10 CSR
				10-6.070 and in compliance with applicable provisions;
				or an emission unit fueled by landfill gas, propane, natural gas, fuel oils #2
				through #6 (with less than one and two-tenths percent (1.2%) sulfur), and/or
				other gases (with hydrogen sulfide levels less than or equal to four (4) parts
				per million volume as measured using ASTM D4084, as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(23), or equivalent and
				mercury concentrations less than forty (40) micrograms per cubic meter as
				measured using ASTM D5954, as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(30), or ASTM D6350, as
				specified in 10 CSR
				10-6.040(32), or equivalent) would be
				deemed in compliance with 10 CSR 10-6.405.
(D) The heat input from emission units in
				subsection (1)(C) of this rule must be included in the calculation of Q, the
				installation's total heat input as defined in subsections (3)(D) and (3)(E) of
				this rule.
(E) An installation is
				exempt from this rule if all of the installation's applicable units are fueled
				only by landfill gas, propane, natural gas, fuel oils #2 through #6 (with less
				than one and two-tenths percent (1.2%) sulfur), or other gases (with hydrogen
				sulfide levels less than or equal to four (4) parts per million volume as
				measured using ASTM D4084, as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(23), or equivalent and
				mercury concentrations less than forty (40) micro-grams per cubic meter as
				measured using ASTM D5954, as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(30), or ASTM D6350, as
				specified in 10 CSR
				10-6.040(32), or equivalent) or any
				combination of these fuels.
