Current through June 14, 2024
43.6.1
Applicability
A. This rule applies to
				  any generator that:
1. Has a heat input
				  capacity of 350,000 Btus or more per hour or, in the case of internal
				  combustion engines, is fifty (50) HP or larger; and,
2. Is not subject to or would not cause a
				  facility to be subject to the major source permitting requirements of either
				  §§
												9.8 or
				  9.9 of this Subchapter (Air
				  Pollution Control Permits).
Rhode Island Code of Regulations › Title 250 - Department of Environmental Management › Chapter 120 - Air Resources › Subchapter 05 - Air Pollution Control › Part 43 - Air Pollution Control Regulation No. 43- General Permits for Smaller-Scale Electric Generation Facilities › Section 250-RICR-120-05-43.7 - Option to Apply for a General Permit

Current through June 14, 2024
A. A generator that
				  is required to obtain a minor source permit under § 9.7.1 of this
				  Subchapter (Air Pollution Control Permits) may apply for a general permit
				  provided that the generator meets the requirements of this regulation. A
				  general permit is a pre-approved minor source permit. By issuing a general
				  permit, the Department indicates that it approves the installation of the
				  emissions unit(s) authorized by the general permit. A general permit issued
				  pursuant to the requirements of this section satisfies the requirements for a
				  minor source permit.
B. A generator
				  that is required to obtain a minor source permit under § 9.7.1 of this
				  Subchapter (Air Pollution Control Permits) that does not meet the requirements
				  of this regulation, must obtain a minor source permit pursuant to the
				  requirements of Part 9 of this Subchapter.
C. The owner is fully responsible for
				  ensuring that the permit conditions and emission limitations of the general
				  permit and this regulation are complied with. If an applicant has applied for a
				  general permit and the application is incorrect or deficient, the applicant may
				  be liable for penalties for installing the emissions unit(s) without a permit.
				  Examples of ways an application might be incorrect or deficient include: if the
				  emission unit(s) does not qualify for the general permit or if the application
				  was improperly completed.
D. A
				  general permit will be issued if the following conditions are met:
1. The owner/operator has submitted a
				  complete application that provides all of the information requested on the
				  form; and,
2. The owner/operator
				  has provided the Department sufficient information to demonstrate that the
				  generator meets the requirements of this regulation.
Rhode Island Code of Regulations › Title 250 - Department of Environmental Management › Chapter 120 - Air Resources › Subchapter 05 - Air Pollution Control › Part 43 - Air Pollution Control Regulation No. 43- General Permits for Smaller-Scale Electric Generation Facilities › Section 250-RICR-120-05-43.8 - Emission Standards

43.9.1
Emissions Certification
A. An
				  owner or operator may seek to certify that its generators meet the emission
				  standards of this rule by providing one of the following certifications:
1. Certification by the California Air
				  Resources Board pursuant to 17 CCR §§ 94200 through 94214,
				  incorporated in §
												43.4(B) of
				  this Part. The certification shall be documented by providing a valid and
				  effective Executive Order issued by the executive officer of the California Air
				  Resources Board certifying compliance; or
2. Certification by the generator supplier
				  stating the subject make and model of generator meets the required emission
				  standards as supplied. This certification shall include emission test results
				  conducted on the subject make and model of generator, including all
				  appurtenances and equipment representative of the proposed installation,
				  demonstrating that emissions of nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and carbon
				  monoxide from the generator meet the emission standards in units of pounds of
				  emissions per megawatt hour (lb/MWh) at full load design (ISO) conditions or at
				  the load conditions specified by the applicable testing methods as follows.
				  With respect to nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, test results from EPA
				  Reference Methods, California Air Resources Board methods, or equivalent
				  testing may be used to verify this certification. Equivalent test methods must
				  be approved by the Office of Air Resources prior to the performance of any
				  emission tests. When testing the output of particulate matter from liquid-fuel
				  reciprocating engines, ISO Method 8178 shall be used, incorporated in §
												43.4(C) of
				  this Part.

Current through June 14, 2024
43.10.1
Flared Fuels
A. If a distributed
				  generator uses fuel that would otherwise be flared, the emissions that were or
				  would have been produced through the flaring can be deducted from the actual
				  emissions of the distributed generator for the purposes of calculating
				  compliance with the emission standards in this rule. If the actual emissions
				  from flaring can be documented, they may be used as the basis for calculating
				  the credit, subject to the approval of the Office of Air Resources. If the
				  actual emissions from flaring cannot be documented, then the following default
				  values shall be used:
Emissions
Waste, Landfill, Digester Gases
nitrogen oxides
0.1 lbs/MMBtu
carbon monoxide
0.7 lb/MMBtu
carbon dioxide
