a If you are conducting stack tests to demonstrate compliance and your performance tests for this pollutant for at least 2 consecutive years show that your emissions are at or below this limit, you can skip testing according to § 63.7515 if all of the other provisions of § 63.7515 are met. For all other pollutants that do not contain a footnote a, your performance tests for this pollutant for at least 2 consecutive years must show that your emissions are at or below 75 percent of this limit in order to qualify for skip testing.
b Incorporated by reference, see § 63.14.
c An owner or operator may determine compliance with the carbon monoxide emissions limit using carbon dioxide as a diluent correction in place of oxygen as described in § 63.7525(a)(1). EPA Method 19 F-factors in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, and EPA Method 19 equations in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, must be used to generate the appropriate CO2 correction percentage for the fuel type burned in the unit, and must also take into account that the 3% oxygen correction is to be done on a dry basis. The methodology must account for any CO2 being added to, or removed from, the emissions gas stream as a result of limestone injection, scrubber media, etc. This methodology must be detailed in the site-specific monitoring plan developed according to § 63.7505(d).
d Before October 6, 2025 you may comply with the emission limits in this Table 15. On and after October 6, 2025, you must comply with the emission limits in Table 2 to this subpart.
