Rule 20-1001 - NO[x] EMISSIONS BUDGET AND NO[x] LIMIT PER SOURCE

1001.1

The total amount of NO_x mass emissions from all NO_x budget sources during a control period shall not exceed the maximum allowable NO_x budget of twenty five (25) tons per control period, which shall be allocated as follows:

General Service Administration, Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant (GSA CHRP)

Unit #3, Unit #4, and Unit #5 (DB, CT-1, and CT-2)

25 tons per control period

1001.2

If the emissions limit specified in § 1001.1 is different from the limit specified in any permit or regulation unrelated to this chapter, the more stringent limit shall apply.

1001.3

When an entity seeks to construct and operate a new NO_x unit in the District, and the Director concludes that this unit shall be authorized to emit NO_x, the NO_x emissions budget for the existing NO_x budget source identified in § 1001.1, shall be revised by rulemaking, based on a determination by the Director that:

(a) Justifies that the cap for each NO_x budget source does not exceed what is reasonable, based on historical emissions during ozone season, operational needs, and other considerations, as relevant; and

(b) Ensures that the total sum of emissions from all NO_x budget sources shall not exceed the total NO_x budget in § 1001.1.
