Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The owner or
					 operator of any electric generating facility (EGF) shall comply with a daily
					 and 30-day system cap emission limitation for nitrogen oxides
					 (NOX) in accordance with the requirements of this
					 section. Each EGF in the system cap must be subject to the daily cap and
					 appropriate 30-day cap of this section at all times. An EGF is not subject to
					 this section if electric output is entirely dedicated to industrial customers.
					 "Entirely dedicated" may include up to two weeks per year of service to the
					 electric grid when the industrial customers' load sources are not operating.
					 Alternatively, an EGF that generates electricity primarily for internal use,
					 but that during 1997 and all subsequent calendar years transferred (or will
					 transfer) that generated electricity to a utility power distribution system at
					 a rate less than 3.85% of its actual electrical generation is not subject to
					 the requirements of this section.
(b) Each EGF that is subject to §
											117.310
					 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Attainment
					 Demonstration) must be included in the system cap.
(c) The system cap must be calculated as
					 follows.
(1) A rolling 30-day average emission
					 cap applicable during the months of July, August, and September must be
					 calculated using the following equation.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Where a person can demonstrate that an
					 affected unit cannot attain the applicable requirements of §

					 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Reasonably Available
					 Control Technology (RACT)) or the carbon monoxide (CO) or ammonia
					 specifications of §
											117.310(c)
					 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Attainment
					 Demonstration), the executive director may approve emission specifications
					 different from §
											117.305
					 of this title or the CO or ammonia specifications in §
											117.310(c)
					 of this title for that unit. The executive director:
(1) shall consider on a case-by-case basis
					 the technological and economic circumstances of the individual unit;
(2) shall determine that such specifications
					 are the result of the lowest emission limitation the unit is capable of meeting
					 after the application of controls to meet the nitrogen oxides emission
					 specifications of §
												117.305
					 or §
												117.310
					 of this title, as applicable; and
(3) in determining whether to approve
					 alternative emission specifications, may take into consideration the ability of
					 the plant where the unit is located to meet emission specifications through
					 plant-wide averaging at maximum capacity.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Totalizing fuel flow meters. The owner or
					 operator of units listed in this subsection shall install, calibrate, maintain,
					 and operate a totalizing fuel flow meter, with an accuracy of ± 5%, to
					 individually and continuously measure the gas and liquid fuel usage. A computer
					 that collects, sums, and stores electronic data from continuous fuel flow
					 meters is an acceptable totalizer. The owner or operator of units with
					 totalizing fuel flow meters installed prior to March 31, 2005, that do not meet
					 the accuracy requirements of this subsection shall either recertify or replace
					 existing meters to meet the ± 5% accuracy required as soon as
					 practicable but no later than March 31, 2007. For the purpose of compliance
					 with this subsection for units having pilot fuel supplied by a separate fuel
					 system or from an unmonitored portion of the same fuel system, the fuel flow to
					 pilots may be calculated using the manufacturer's design flow rates rather than
					 measured with a fuel flow meter. The calculated pilot fuel flow rate must be
					 added to the monitored fuel flow when fuel flow is totaled.
(1) The units are the following:
(A) for units that are subject to §
													117.305
					 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Reasonably Available
					 Control Technology (RACT)), for stationary gas turbines that are exempt under
					 §
													117.303(b)(7)
					 of this title (relating to Exemptions):
(i)
					 if individually rated more than 40 million British thermal units per hour
					 (MMBtu/hr):
(I) boilers;
(II) process heaters;
(III) boilers and industrial furnaces that
					 were regulated as existing facilities by 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
					 Part 266, Subpart H, as was in effect on June 9, 1993; and
(IV) gas turbine supplemental-fired waste
					 heat recovery units;

					 of this title (relating to Demonstrations), hourly records must be made of
					 startup and/or shutdown events and maintained for a period of at least two
					 years. Records must be available for inspection by the executive director, the
					 United States Environmental Protection Agency, and any local air pollution
					 control agency having jurisdiction upon request. These records must include,
					 but are not limited to: type of fuel burned; quantity of each type of fuel
					 burned; and the date, time, and duration of the procedure.
(b) Notification. The owner or operator of an
					 affected source shall submit notification to the appropriate regional office
					 and any local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction as follows:
(1) verbal notification of the date of any
					 testing conducted under §

(a) The owner or operator of any unit subject
					 to the emission specifications of this division shall test the unit as follows.
(1) The unit must be tested for nitrogen
					 oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxygen
					 (O2) emissions while firing gaseous fuel or, as
					 applicable, liquid and solid fuel.
(2) Units that inject urea or ammonia into
					 the exhaust stream for NOX control must be tested for
					 ammonia emissions.
(3) Initial

(a) Totalizing fuel flow meters. The owner or
					 operator of units listed in this subsection shall install, calibrate, maintain,
					 and operate a totalizing fuel flow meter, with an accuracy of ± 5%, to

					 that collects, sums, and stores electronic data from continuous fuel flow
					 meters is an acceptable totalizer. The owner or operator must continuously
					 operate the totalizing fuel flow meter at least 95% of the time when the unit
					 is operating during a calendar year. For the purpose of compliance with this
					 subsection for units having pilot fuel supplied by a separate fuel system or
					 from an unmonitored portion of the same fuel system, the fuel flow to pilots
					 may be calculated using the manufacturer's design flow rates rather than
					 measured with a fuel flow meter. The calculated pilot fuel flow rate must be
					 added to the monitored fuel flow when fuel flow is totaled.
(1) The units are the following units subject
					 to §117.405 (relating to Emission Specifications for Reasonably Available
					 Control Technology (RACT)) or §

					 of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Eight-Hour Attainment
					 Demonstrations):

					 wood-fired boilers that must comply by maintaining records of fuel usage as
					 required in §
													117.445(f)
					 of this title (relating to Notification, Recordkeeping, and Reporting
					 Requirements) or monitoring in accordance with paragraph (2)(A) of this
					 subsection);

					 methods in general use and accepted in new source review permitting in Texas.
					 All other fuel and vapor streams must be monitored in accordance with this
					 subsection);
(M) gas-fired glass,
					 fiberglass, and mineral wool curing ovens;
(N) natural gas-fired ovens and heaters;
