Section R307-203-1 - Commercial and Industrial Sources
Current through Bulletin 2024-06, March 15, 2024
(1) Any coal, oil, or mixture thereof, burned in any fuel burning or process installation not covered by New Source Performance Standards for sulfur emissions shall contain no more than 1.0 pound sulfur per million gross BTU heat input for any mixture of coal nor .85 pounds sulfur per million gross BTU heat input for any oil.
(2) Any person engaged in operating fuel burning equipment using coal or fuel oil, which is not covered by New Source Performance Standards for sulfur emissions, may apply for an exemption from the sulfur content restrictions of (1) above. The applicant shall furnish evidence, that the fuel burning equipment is operating in such a manner as to prevent the emission of sulfur dioxide in amounts greater than would be produced under the limitations of (1) above. Control apparatus to continuously prevent the emission of sulfur greater than provided by (1) above must be specified in the application for an exemption.
(3) In case an exemption is granted, the operator shall install continuous emission monitoring devices approved by the director. The operator shall provide the director with a monthly summary of the data from such monitors. This summary shall be such as to show the degree of compliance with (1) above. It shall be submitted no later than the calendar month succeeding its recording. When exemptions from (1) above are granted, the source's application for such exemption must specify the test method for determining sulfur emissions. The test method must agree with the NSPS test method for the same industrial category.
(4) Methods for determining sulfur content of coal and fuel oil shall be those methods of the American Society for Testing and Materials.
