Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
This Section applies to new fuel combustion emission sources with actual heat input smaller than, or equal to, 73.2 MW (250 mmBtu/hr).
a) Solid Fuel Burned Exclusively. No person shall cause or allow the emission of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere in any one hour period from any new fuel combustion source with actual heat input smaller than, or equal to, 73.2 MW (250 mmBtu/hr), burning solid fuel exclusively, to exceed 2.79 kg of sulfur dioxide per MW-hr of actual heat input (1.8 lbs/mmBtu).
b) Liquid Fuel Burned Exclusively.
1) Prior to January 1, 2017, no
person shall cause or allow the emission of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere
in any one hour period from any new fuel combustion emission source with actual
heat input smaller than, or equal to, 73.2 MW (250 mmBtu/hr), burning liquid
fuel exclusively, to exceed the following:
A)
1.55
kg of sulfur dioxide per MW-hr of actual heat input when residential fuel oil
is burned (1.0 lbs/mmBtu); and
B)0.46 kg of sulfur dioxide per MW-hr of
actual heat input when distillate fuel oil is burned (0.3 lbs/mmBtu);
2) On and after January 1, 2017,
the owner or operator of a new fuel combustion emission source with actual heat
input smaller than, or equal to, 73.2 MW (250 mmBtu/hr), burning liquid fuel
exclusively, must comply with the following:
A) The sulfur content of all residual fuel
oil used by the fuel combustion emission source must not exceed 1000
ppm;
B) The sulfur content of all
distillate fuel oil used by the fuel combustion emission source must not exceed
15 ppm; and
C) The owner or
operator must:
i) Maintain records
demonstrating that the fuel oil used by the fuel combustion emission source
complies with the requirements in subsections (b)(2)(A) and (b)(2)(B), such as
records from the fuel supplier indicating the sulfur content of the fuel
oil;
ii) Retain the records for at
least 5 years, and provide copies of the records to the Agency within 30 days
after receipt of a request by the Agency; and
iii) Notify the Agency within 30 days after
discovery of deviations from any of the requirements in this subsection (b)(2).
