Subpart E - CAIR NO[x] OZONE SEASON TRADING PROGRAM
Section 225.505 - Applicability
Universal Citation: 35 IL Admin Code ยง 225.505
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 Ozone Season units, and any source that includes one
or more such units is a CAIR NOx source subject to the
requirements of this Subpart E: 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 Ozone Season 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 Ozone Season 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 Ozone Season units and units that meet the requirements of subsections (b)(2) and (b)(5) of this Section are CAIR NOx Ozone Season units:
1) Any unit that would otherwise be
classified as a CAIR NOx Ozone Season 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 Ozone Season 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 Ozone Season
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 Ozone Season 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 Ozone Season 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.
