New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 27 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL › Subchapter 19 - CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM OXIDES OF NITROGEN › Section 7:27-19.2 - Purpose, scope, and applicability

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This subchapter establishes requirements and procedures concerning the control and prohibition of air pollution by oxides of nitrogen. The general purpose of this subchapter is to require the owner or operator of certain stationary source operations to use reasonably available control technology (RACT) to prevent or control NO[x] emissions. EPA defines RACT to mean the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting by the application of air pollution control technology which is reasonably available considering technological and economic feasibility.
(b) The following types of equipment and source operations are subject to the provisions of this subchapter:
1. Any boiler serving an electric generating unit, located at a major NO[x]facility;
2. Until March 7, 2007, any industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger that has a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 20 million BTUs per hour, located at a major NO[x] facility. On and after March 7, 2007, the applicability of this subchapter to an industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger shall be determined by (c)1 below;
3. Until March 7, 2007, any stationary combustion turbine that has a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 30 million BTUs per hour, located at a major NO[x]facility. On and after March 7, 2007, the applicability of this subchapter to an stationary combustion turbine shall be determined by (c)2 below:
4. Any stationary reciprocating engine capable of producing an output of 500 brake horsepower or more and located at a major NO[x] facility. In addition, on and after March 7, 2007, the applicability of this subchapter to a stationary reciprocating engine or group of stationary reciprocating engines, used for generating electricity, shall be determined by (c)3 and 4 below;
5. Any rotary dryer located at an asphalt pavement production plant;
6. Any glass manufacturing furnace producing commercial container glass, and having a maximum potential production rate of at least 14 tons of glass removed from the furnace per day and having the potential to emit more than 10 tons of NO[x]per year;
7. Any glass manufacturing furnace producing specialty container glass, and having a maximum potential production rate of at least seven tons of glass removed from the furnace per day and having the potential to emit more than 10 tons of NO[x]per year;
8. Any glass manufacturing furnace producing borosilicate recipe glass, and having a maximum potential production rate of at least five tons of glass removed from the furnace per day, and having the potential to emit more than 10 tons of NO[x]per year;
9. Any glass manufacturing furnace producing blown glass, fiberglass, flat glass, or pressed glass having the potential to emit more than 10 tons of NO[x] per year;
10. Any municipal solid waste incinerator;
11. Any sewage sludge incinerator;
12. Any simple cycle combustion turbine combusting natural gas and compressing gaseous fuel at a major NO facility;
13. Any stationary reciprocating engine capable of producing an output of 200 bhp or more but less than 500 bhp, combusting natural gas, and compressing gaseous fuel at a major NO facility ; and
14. Any other equipment or source operation not specifically listed at (b)1 through 13 above or (c) below that has the potential to emit more than 10 tons of NO per year.
