Section 1148-5.0 - Monitoring and Reporting5.1 For existing stationary combustion turbine electric generating units with an ozone season capacity factor of 10% or less for each of the five calendar years preceding July 11, 2007, compliance emissions testing acceptable to the Department shall be conducted by the owner or operator in the calendar years representing successive five-year intervals from the calendar year in which the initial compliance test was conducted in accordance with 4.3.3 of this regulation.5.2 For existing combustion turbine electric generating units with an ozone season capacity factor greater than 10% for any of the five calendar years preceding July 11, 2007: 5.2.1 Compliance emissions testing acceptable to the Department shall be conducted by the owner or operator every two years following the calendar year in which the initial compliance test was conducted in accordance with 4.3.3 of this regulation.5.2.2 If an existing combustion turbine electric generating unit's ozone season capacity factor drops below 10% for five consecutive years, the owner or operator may petition the Department to reduce the compliance testing frequency to five years.5.3 For existing combustion turbine electric generating units in compliance with 5.1 of this regulation but which have an ozone season capacity factor of greater than 10% for any year subsequent to July 11, 2007, compliance emissions testing acceptable to the Department shall be conducted by the owner or operator every two years, starting in the calendar year after the year that the 10% ozone season capacity factor was exceeded.5.4 The owner or operator of an existing combustion turbine electric generating unit shall submit to the Department, for approval, a monitoring plan containing monitoring information correlating control system parameters or other operating characteristic indications with NOx emissions output. 5.4.1 The correlations may be developed using actual emissions test data and parameters and characteristics recommended by the combustion turbine electric generating unit manufacturer, emission control equipment supplier, or other operating experience. The correlations shall address the entire anticipated operating load range of the combustion turbine electric generating unit.5.4.2 This information may be used by the Department to monitor compliance with this regulation.5.4.3 Representative data shall be continuously collected and recorded while the combustion turbine electric generating unit combusts any fuel during the ozone season.5.4.4 The approved monitoring information shall be annually submitted to the Department no later than February 1 of the year following the calendar year for which the data is collected, and shall also include detailed explanations for any periods during the ozone season where the monitored operating parameters were outside acceptable margins and include descriptions of corrective actions taken.5.5 The provisions of 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 of this regulation are not applicable to existing stationary combustion turbine electric generating units which are otherwise required to install, test, operate, and maintain NOx continuous emissions monitoring system in accordance with the Department or EPA requirements for continuous emissions monitoring systems meeting all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 or 40 CFR Part 75 (July 1, 2006 edition).5.6 The owner or operator of an existing stationary combustion turbine electric generating unit shall maintain an operating log during the ozone season that includes, on a daily basis, actual start-up and shutdown times, total hours of operation, gross electrical megawatt-hours generated, fuel consumption, type of fuel or fuels, identification of any periods operating outside the monitoring parameters identified in 5.4 of this regulation (where applicable), identification of any periods of non-compliance with the requirements of this regulation, cumulative-to-date hours of operation and gross electrical megawatt-hours generated, and any other information requested by the Department. This data shall be submitted annually to the Department no later than February 1 of the year following the calendar year for which the data is collected.07/11/2007
