Universal Citation: 35 IL Admin Code ยง 225.405
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Except as provided in subsections (b)(1), (b)(3), and (b)(4) of this Section:
1) The following units are CAIR
NOx units, and any source that includes one or more such
units is a CAIR NOx source subject to the requirements
of this Subpart D: any stationary, fossil-fuel-fired boiler or stationary,
fossil-fuel-fired combustion turbine serving at any time, since the later of
November 15, 1990 or the start-up of the unit's combustion chamber, a generator
with nameplate capacity of more than 25 MWe producing electricity for
sale.
2) If a stationary boiler or
stationary combustion turbine that, pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of this
Section, is not a CAIR NOx unit begins to combust fossil
fuel or to serve a generator with nameplate capacity of more than 25 MWe
producing electricity for sale, the unit will become a CAIR
NOx unit as provided in subsection (a)(1) of this
Section on the first date on which it both combusts fossil fuel and serves such
generator.
b) The units that meet the requirements set forth in subsections (b)(1), (b)(3), and (b)(4) of this Section will not be CAIR NOx units and units that meet the requirements of subsections (b)(2) and (b)(5) of this Section are CAIR NOx units:
1) Any
unit that would otherwise be classified as a CAIR NOx
unit pursuant to subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Section and:
A) Qualifies as a cogeneration unit during
the 12-month period starting on the date the unit first produces electricity
and continues to qualify as a cogeneration unit; and
B) Does not serve at any time, since the
later of November 15, 1990 or the start-up of the unit's combustion chamber, a
generator with nameplate capacity of more than 25 MWe supplying any calendar
year more than one-third of the unit's potential electric output capacity or
219,000 MWh, whichever is greater, to any utility power distribution for
sale.
2) If a unit
qualifies as a cogeneration unit during the 12-month period starting on the
date the unit first produces electricity and meets the requirements of
subsection (b)(1) of this Section for at least one calendar year, but
subsequently no longer meets all such requirements, the unit shall become a
CAIR NOx unit starting on the earlier of January 1 after
the first calendar year during which the unit no longer qualifies as a
cogeneration unit or January 1 after the first calendar year during which the
unit no longer meets the requirements of subsection (b)(1)(B) of this
Section.
3) Any unit that would
otherwise be classified as a CAIR NOx unit pursuant to
subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Section commencing operation before January
1, 1985 and:
A) Qualifies as a solid waste
incineration unit; and
B) Has an
average annual fuel consumption of non-fossil fuel for 1985-1987 exceeding 80
percent (on a Btu basis) and an average annual fuel consumption of non-fossil
fuel for any three consecutive calendar years after 1990 exceeding 80 percent
(on a Btu basis).
4) Any
unit that would otherwise be classified as a CAIR NOx
unit under subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Section commencing operation on
or after January 1, 1985 and:
A) Qualifies as
a solid waste incineration unit; and
B) Has an average annual fuel consumption of
non-fossil fuel the first three years of operation exceeding 80 percent (on a
Btu basis) and an average annual fuel consumption of non-fossil fuel for any
three consecutive calendar years after 1990 exceeding 80 percent (on a Btu
basis).
5) If a unit
qualifies as a solid waste incineration unit and meets the requirements of
subsection (b)(3) or (b)(4) of this Section for at least three consecutive
years, but subsequently no longer meets all such requirements, the unit shall
become a CAIR NOx unit starting on the earlier of
January 1 after the first three consecutive calendar years after 1990 for which
the unit has an average annual fuel consumption of 20 percent or
more.
