Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-14-.03 - PROCESS EMISSION STANDARDS
(1) On and after
July 1, 1975, the owner or operator of an air contaminant source located in a
Class I county shall not cause, suffer, allow, or permit the emission from that
source of sulfur oxides (calculated as sulfur dioxide) in excess of 500 parts
per million, 0.05 percent by volume, dry basis (one hour average). Different
standards and averaging times may be met as an alternative, or as required,
where they are specified in Chapter 1200-03-19.
(2) On and after July 1, 1975, the owner or
operator of an air contaminant source located in a Class II, III, or VII county
shall not cause, suffer, allow, or permit the emission from that source of
sulfur dioxide in excess of 1000 parts per million, 0.10 percent by volume, dry
basis (one hour average).
(3) On
and after July 1, 1975, the owner or operator of an air contaminant source
located in a Class IV, V or VI county shall not cause, suffer, allow, or permit
the emission from that source of sulfur dioxide in excess of 2,000 parts per
million, 0.20 percent by volume, dry basis (one hour average).
(4) A process source in a Class IV county as
an alternative to the standard in paragraph (3) above may request from the
Technical Secretary of the Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board to be
regulated by not being allowed to exceed their sulfur dioxide emission capacity
in 1974, on a twenty-four hour and an annual basis. These emissions will be
specified in a Board Order, as a permit condition, or other legally enforceable
manner. This document will be incorporated into the State Implementation Plan.
The cost of the legal notice involved must be paid by the requesting source.
The Technical Secretary may approve such a request after being given adequate
proof that this alternative standard will not cause any air quality standards
to be violated, and the company has an adequate continuous air monitoring
network for determining the impact of its emissions.
(5) No person shall cause, suffer, allow, or
permit the emissions from any new air contaminant source in excess of those
limits specified in Chapter
1200-03-14-.03, paragraph (1),
(2) or (3), whichever is applicable. Regardless of the specific emission
standard, new sources shall utilize the best available control technology as
deemed appropriate by the Technical Secretary of the Tennessee Air Pollution
Control Board.
(6) For purposes of
this chapter, thermal oxidizers, and incinerators shall be construed as process
emission sources.
(7) Limiting the
Effect of the Definition of Modification. For the purpose of determining the
applicable sulfur dioxide emission standards in this rule, a change in fuel
from natural gas, propane, butane, and/or fuel oil to any of these herein named
fuels and any required alterations to existing fuel burning equipment to
accommodate these fuels shall not be considered a modification.
(8) Irrespective of the maximum allowable
emission as determined in the preceding paragraphs of this rule, the maximum
allowable sulfur dioxide emissions for a process emission source which is
relocated more than 1.0 km from the previous position after November 6, 1988,
shall not exceed the greater of the actual emissions at its previous location
or the allowable emissions for a new process emission source.
