Latest version.
  • (a) No owner or operator of a municipal or private solid waste incineration unit shall cause or allow emissions of NOx from any municipal or private solid waste incineration unit in excess of the applicable limit in table 1 of this Subpart on a 24-hour arithmetic average basis, excluding periods of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction.

    Other Technologies*
    *See subdivision (c) of this section
    (b) No owner or operator of a municipal or private solid waste incineration facility shall cause or allow emissions of NOx from any municipal or private solid waste incineration unit in excess of the applicable limit in table 2 of this Subpart on an annual rolling average basis, excluding periods of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction.

    *See subdivision (c) of this section
    (c) The owner or operator of a municipal or private solid waste incineration unit that employs a combustion technology not listed in table 1 or table 2 of this section shall develop and propose a facility specific 24-hour and annual average NOx emission limitation. A proposal prepared pursuant to this Subdivision shall consider:
    (1) the available NOx control technologies, the projected effectiveness of the technologies considered, and the costs for installation and operation for each of the technologies; and
    (2) the technology and the appropriate emission limit selected as RACT considering the costs for installation and operation of the technology.
    (d) By June 30, 2021, the owner or operator of a facility subject to the requirements of this Subpart must submit to the department either a complete application for a permit that incorporates the requirements of this Subpart or a RACT analysis that explains why the control technology the facility currently employs should be considered RACT for that emission source.
    (e) Any facility specific NOx emissions limitation proposal made pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d) of this section that is approved by the department will be recorded in the relevant Title V facility permit as the applicable NOx RACT requirement, and must be submitted to the administrator for approval as a separate SIP revision.
