62-296.405Existing Fossil Fuel Steam Generators with Greater than or Equal to 250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat Input
NOTICE OF CHANGE
Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 48 No.56, March 22, 2022, issue of the Florida Administrative Register.
The following changes are made in response to written comments received on April 11, 2022.
62-296.405 Existing Fossil Fuel Steam Generators with Greater than or Equal to 250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat Input.
(1) through (2) No change.
(3) Particulate Matter – 0.1 pound per million Btu heat input, as measured by stack test. If compliance is demonstrated with a particulate matter continuous emission monitoring system, then compliance shall be determined on a heat-input weighted 30-operating day rolling average basis, rolled daily, including all periods of operation. Compliance is determined by first summing the total pounds of the pollutant in question emitted from the Unit during an operating day and the previous 29 operating days; second, sum the total heat-input to the Unit in MMBtu during the operating day and the previous 29 operating days; and third, divide the total number of pounds of the pollutant emitted during the 30 operating days by the total heat input during the 30 operating days calculating the arithmetic average of all valid hourly averages occuring within that day (midnight to midnight) and the prior 29 operating days. An operating day is defined as any day (midnight to midnight) when fuel is fired.
(4) Sulfur Dioxide, as measured by fuel sampling. If compliance is demonstrated with a sulfur dioxide continuous emission monitoring system, then compliance shall be determined on a 24-hour block average, including all periods of operation, unless a different averaging period is specified below. Compliance is determined by calculating the arithmetic average of all valid hourly averages occuring within that day.
(a) through (b) No change.
(5) Nitrogen Oxides (expressed as NO2) – as measured by stack test. If compliance is demonstrated with a nitrogen oxides continuous emission monitoring system, then compliance shall be based on a heat-input weighted 30-operating day rolling average basis, rolled daily, including all periods of operation. Compliance is determined by first summing the total pounds of the pollutant in question emitted from the Unit during an operating day and the previous 29 operating days; second, sum the total heat-input to the Unit in MMBtu during the operating day and the previous 29 operating days; and third, divide the total number of pounds of the pollutant emitted during the 30 operating days by the total heat input during the 30 operating days calculating the arithmetic average of all valid hourly averages occuring within that day (midnight to midnight) and the prior 29 operating days. An operating day is defined as any day (midnight to midnight) when fuel is fired.
(a) through (d) No change.
(6) through (9) No change.
