Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. Compliance with the carbon monoxide (CO) emission limitation, for units required to have continuous CO monitoring, shall be determined by continuous emission monitor measurements calculated in 4-hour block averages. For units not equipped with continuous CO monitoring equipment, compliance shall be determined by manual tests as specified in 20.11.69.21 NMAC.

B. Compliance with particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen chloride, PCDD/PCDF, and metals emission limitations shall be determined by manual tests as specified in 20.11.69.21 NMAC. For metals, the removal percentage is calculated as the percent difference between the measured concentrations at the inlet and outlet of the air pollution control system.

C. As surrogate for compliance with metals removal efficiency requirements, the owner or operator may comply with an emission limitation for cadmium (Cd) of 50 micrograms per kilogram of waste burned. The emission limit for cadmium cannot be used as surrogate for mercury.

D. Compliance with the opacity limit in Subsection A of 20.11.69.12 NMAC shall be determined by continuous emission monitor measurements and 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 9 as amended, calculated in the form of 6-minute averages.

The owner or operator of a PWD with a total charging capacity of 400 pounds per hour or less may obtain a written exemption from the Albuquerque - Bernalillo county AQCB from the applicable emission limits set forth in 20.11.69.13 NMAC and may obtain a written exemption from the Albuquerque - Bernalillo county AQCB from emission monitoring requirements as stated in Paragraph (3), of Subsection A of 20.11.69.18 NMAC provided that:

(1) the owner or operator complies with the emission limits set forth in 20.11.69.12 NMAC for PWDs with a total charging capacity of less than 200 pounds per hour; and

(2) the owner or operator obtains a written exemption from the Albuquerque - Bernalillo county AQCB that contains a condition limiting the operation of such PWD to six hours in any one day. The violation of such an exemption condition shall be a violation of 20.11.69 NMAC.
