(B) For purposes of this rule the actual heat
input shall be the aggregate heat content of all fuels whose products of
combustion emanate from a single fuel burning unit. The maximum capacity shall
be the equipment manufacturer's or designer's guaranteed maximum heat input,
whichever is greater. Unless otherwise specified in paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(4)
of this rule, the total heat input of all fuel burning units on a plant or
premises which are united either physically or operationally shall be the total
of the maximum capacities for all such units. The total heat input shall be
used for determining the maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions per
million Btu of actual heat input from any single fuel burning unit.
(1) Any new or existing fuel burning
equipment which is fired only with gaseous fuels or number two fuel oil and
which is physically or operationally united with other fuel burning equipment
on a plant or premises shall not be included by the director for purposes of
determining the total heat input and maximum allowable particulate emissions
per million Btu of actual heat input for such other fuel burning equipment. The
maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions for any new or existing fuel
burning equipment which is fired only with gaseous fuels, excluding blast
furnace gas or number two fuel oil shall be 0.020 pound per million Btu of
actual heat input. The maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions for
any new or existing fuel burning equipment which is fired only with blast
furnace gas or any mixture of blast furnace gas with other gaseous fuels or
number two fuel oil shall be 0.040 pound per million Btu of actual heat
input.
(2) Stand-by fuel burning
equipment which is physically or operationally united with other fuel burning
equipment on a plant or premises shall be exempted by the director for purposes
of determining total heat input and maximum allowable particulate emissions per
million Btu of actual heat input for such other fuel burning equipment. Except
as provided in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, the total heat input for such
other fuel burning equipment shall be used for determining the maximum
allowable amount of particulate emissions per million Btu of actual heat input
for any stand-by fuel burning equipment.
(3) Derating of fuel burning equipment.
(a) For purposes of this paragraph, fuel
burning equipment shall include, where appropriate, all equipment on a plant or
premises which are united either physically or operationally.
(b) Upon request, the director may specify
the total heat input for fuel burning equipment at a derated value which is
less than the total maximum capacity of such equipment if, in the director's
judgment, the equipment will not be operated so that the actual heat input
exceeds the derated value. Any owner or operator requesting derating of fuel
burning equipment shall demonstrate to the director, with such steam charts,
records of fuel consumption and fuel quality, and other data as are necessary,
that the actual heat input from the equipment will not exceed the derated total
heat input value.
(c) The terms and
conditions of any permit, variance, or order for equipment which has been
granted a derated total heat input value shall prohibit the operation of such
equipment at a level in excess of the derated total heat input value. The
director may include in any such permit, variance, or order requirements for
the monitoring and reporting of the actual heat input of the
equipment.
(d) Any derating of fuel
burning equipment approved by the director shall not revise the federally
enforceable requirements of the state implementation plan until approved by the
United States environmental protection agency.
(4) Fuel burning equipment which constitutes
a new source and is physically or operationally united with existing fuel
burning equipment on a plant or premises shall not be included by the director
for purposes of determining total heat input and maximum allowable particulate
emissions per million Btu of actual heat input for such existing fuel burning
equipment. Except as may be provided in paragraphs (B)(1) or (B)(2) of this
rule, the total heat input for the new and existing fuel burning equipment
shall be used for determining the maximum allowable amount of particulate
emissions per million Btu of actual heat input for the new fuel burning
equipment.
(C) Emission
limitations.
(1) Except as provided in
paragraph (B)(1) of this rule (as it pertains to gaseous fuels and number two
fuel oil) and
paragraphs
paragraph
(C)(3)
to (C)(7) of this rule, any owner or operator of fuel burning
equipment which is located within the following counties shall operate said
equipment so that the particulate emissions do not exceed the allowable
