Section 58.01.01.798 - ELECTRICAL GENERATORSThe following requirements apply to all electrical generators used to provide electrical power to any nonmetallic mineral processing plant. The requirements apply to each site of operations. (3-28-23)
01.Fuel Type. Only ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) Grade 1 or 2 fuel oil may be used. The sulfur content of the fuel used must not exceed the percentages of sulfur given in Section 725. (3-28-23)02.Generator Operating Requirements. For the purposes of Sections 790 through 799, the following apply to all electrical generators. Rated Output Capacities (kW) | Allowable Operating Hours (hr/day) | Allowable Operating Hours (hr/yr) |
Attainment Unclassifiable Areas | PM-10 Nonattainment Areas | Attainment Unclassifiable Areas | PM-10 Nonattainment Areas |
0 - 454 | 24 | 8 | 8760 | 2880 |
455 - 1000 | 24 | 24 | 8760 | 8760 |
1001 - 2000 | 24 | 24 | 5200 | 5200 |
kW = kilowatts |
hr/day = hours per day |
hr/yr = hours per year |

03.Generator Opacity Limit. Visible emissions from any generator stack, vent, or other functionally equivalent opening must not exceed twenty percent (20%) opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than three (3) minutes in any sixty (60) minute period. Opacity must be determined using the test methods and procedures contained in Section 625. (3-28-23)04.Monitoring and Recordkeeping Requirements. (3-28-23) a. The owner or operator must monitor and record the following information. (3-28-23) i. The rated output capacity, in kilowatts (kW), of the electrical generator(s) used; (3-28-23)ii. Operating hours on a monthly and annual basis so compliance can be continuously determined for the previous twelve (12) month period; and (3-28-23)iii. Vendor receipts of the fuel oil purchased clearly identifying the ASTM Grade. (3-28-23)b. Records of monitoring and recordkeeping requirements for current operations must be maintained at the site of operations for the duration of operations at that location and must be available to Department representatives upon request. Records for previous sites of operation must be kept for the most recent two (2) year period at a location where they can be reasonably accessed and be made available to the Department upon request.
