Section 95117 - Lime ManufacturingThe operator of a facility who is required to report under section 95101 of this article, and who is not eligible for abbreviated reporting under section 95103(a), must comply with Subpart S of 40 CFR Part 98 (§§ 98.190 to 98.198) in reporting stationary combustion and process emissions and related data from lime manufacturing to ARB, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(a) CO2from Fossil Fuel Combustion. When calculating CO2 emissions from fuel combustion, the operator must use a method in 40 CFR § 98.33(a)(1) to § 98.33(a)(4), as specified by fuel type in section 95115 of this article.(b)Monitoring, Data and Records. For each emissions calculation method chosen under section 95117(a), the operator must meet the applicable requirements for monitoring, missing data procedures, data reporting, and records retention that are specified in 40 CFR § 98.34 to § 98.37, except as modified in sections 95115, 95117(c)-(d), and 95129 of this article.(c)Missing Data Substitution Procedures. The operator must comply with 40 CFR § 98.195 when substituting for missing data, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (1)-(2) below. (1) To substitute for missing data for emissions reported under section 95115 of this article (stationary combustion units and units using continuous emissions monitoring systems), the operator must follow the requirements of section 95129 of this article.(2) If CaO and MgO content data required by 40 CFR § 98.193(b)(2) are missing and a new analysis cannot be undertaken, the operator must apply substitute values according to the procedures in paragraphs (A)-(C) below. (A) If the data capture rate is at least 90 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each missing value using the best available estimate of the parameter, based on all available process data for the reporting year.(B) If the data capture rate is at least 80 percent but not at least 90 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each missing value with the highest quality assured value recorded for the parameter during the given data year, as well as the two previous data years.(C) If the data capture rate is less than 80 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each missing value with the highest quality assured value recorded for the parameter in all records kept according to section 95105(a).(3) For each missing value of the quantity of lime produced (by lime type) and quantity of lime byproduct/waste produced and sold used to calculate emissions pursuant to 40 CFR § 98.193, the operator must apply a substitute value according to the procedures in paragraphs (A)-(B) below. (A) If the data capture rate is at least 80 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each missing value according to 40 CFR § 98.195(a).(B) If the data capture rate is less than 80 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each missing value with the maximum capacity of the system.(4) The operator must document and retain records of the procedure used for all missing data estimates pursuant to the recordkeeping requirements of section 95105.(d)Additional Product Data. The operator of a lime manufacturing facility must report the annual quantity of dolime produced (short tons).(e)Produced CO2 Used On-Site. If a CEMS is not used to measure CO2 emissions, the facility operator shall report data required by 40 CFR § 98.196(b)(17), with the clarification that the referenced annual amount of CO2 captured for use in the on-site process, reflects CO2 process emissions generated by the facility that are not released to the atmosphere. The produced CO2 emissions must be computed as specified in 40 CFR § 98.193(b)(2). The method used to determine the amount of CO2 captured on-site and not emitted must be provided as specified in 40 CFR § 98.196(b)(17)(ii), which could include monitoring of system acidity or basicity (pH), analysis of process samples for calcium oxide, or evaluation of the relative quantities of reactants and products in the lime production and CO2 reabsorption process (i.e., chemical stoichiometry).Cal.
