(a)
By May 1, 2005, and each year thereafter, the owner or operator of a stationary
combustion turbine with a nameplate rated capacity of greater than 100 million
Btu/hour located in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery or Philadelphia County
shall comply with this section and §
129.204 (relating to emission
accountability). This section does not apply to naval marine stationary
combustion turbines operated by the United States Navy for the purposes of
testing and operational training.
(b) By October 31, 2005, and each year
thereafter, the owner or operator of the stationary combustion turbine shall
calculate the difference between the actual emissions from the unit for the
period from May 1 through September 30 and the allowable emissions for that
period.
(c) The owner or operator
shall calculate allowable emissions by multiplying the unit's cumulative heat
input for the period by the applicable emission rate set forth in paragraph (1)
or (2).
(1) The emission rate for a stationary
combustion turbine with a nameplate rated capacity of greater than 100 million
Btu/hour but less than or equal to 250 million Btu/hour heat input shall be as
follows:
(i) A combined cycle or regenerative
cycle stationary combustion turbine:
(A) When
firing natural gas or a noncommercial gaseous fuel, 0.17 lbs NOx/MMBtu or 1.3
lbs NOx/MWH.
(B) When firing oil,
0.26 lbs NOx/MMBtu or 2.0 lbs NOx/MWH.
(ii) A simple cycle stationary combustion
turbine:
(A) When firing natural gas or a
noncommercial gaseous fuel, 0.20 lbs NOx/MMBtu or 2.2 lbs NOx/MWH.
(B) When firing oil, 0.30 lbs NOx/MMBtu or
3.0 lbs NOx/MWH.
(2) The emission rate for a stationary
combustion turbine with a nameplate rated capacity of greater than 250 million
Btu/hour heat input that is not subject to §
145.8(c) or (d)
(relating to transition to CAIR NOx trading programs) is 0.17 lbs NOx per
million Btu heat input.
