Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) By
						  January 1, 2009, or by the date of commencing commercial operation, whichever
						  is later, the owner or operator of the CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall
						  install, calibrate, maintain and operate a wattmeter, measure gross electrical
						  output in megawatt-hours on a continuous basis and record the output of the
						  wattmeter. If a generator is served by two or more units, the information to
						  determine the heat input of each unit for that control period shall also be
						  recorded, so as to allow each unit's share of the gross electrical output to be
						  determined. If heat input data are used, the owner or operator shall comply
						  with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 75 (relating to continuous
						  emission monitoring).
(b) By
						  September 1, 2008, for a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit that is a cogeneration
						  unit, and for a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit with cogeneration capabilities, the
						  owner or operator shall 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. The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit that
						  produces useful thermal energy but uses an energy transfer medium other than
						  steam, such as hot water or glycol, shall install, calibrate, maintain and
						  operate the necessary meters to measure and record the data necessary to
						  express the useful thermal energy produced, in mmBtu/hr, on a continuous basis.
						  If the unit ceases to produce useful thermal energy, the owner or operator may
						  cease operation of the meters, but operation of the meters shall be resumed if
						  the unit resumes production of useful thermal energy.
(c) Beginning with 2009, the designated
						  representative of the unit shall submit to the Department an annual report
						  showing monthly gross electrical output and monthly useful thermal energy from
						  the unit. The report is due by January 31 for the preceding calendar year.
(d) The owner or operator of a
						  CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall maintain onsite the monitoring plan detailing
						  the monitoring system and maintenance of the monitoring system, including
						  quality assurance activities. The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season
						  unit shall retain the monitoring plan for at least 5 years from the date that
						  it is replaced by a new or revised monitoring plan. The owner or operator of a
						  CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall provide the Department with a written copy of
						  the monitoring plan by January 1, 2009, and thereafter within 3 calendar months
						  of making updates to the plan.
(e)
						  The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall retain records for
						  at least 5 years from the date the record is created or the data collected as
						  required by subsections (a) and (b), and the reports submitted to the
						  Department and the EPA in accordance with subsections (c) and (d).
