Section 326 IAC 6-2-2 - Emission limitations for facilities specified in 326 IAC 6-2-1(b)Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4; IC 13-17-3-11; IC 13-17-3-12

Sec. 2.
(a) Particulate emissions from existing indirect heating facilities located in the specified counties shall be limited by the following equation: Click here to view
Where: Pt = Pounds of particulate matter emitted per million Btu (lb/mmBtu) heat input.
Q = Total source maximum operating capacity rating in million Btu per hour (mmBtu/hr) heat input. The maximum operating capacity rating is defined as the maximum capacity at which the facility is operated or the nameplate capacity, whichever is specified in the facility's operation permit application, except when some lower capacity is contained in the facility's operation permit, in which case, the capacity specified in the operation permit shall be used.
For Q less than 10 mmBtu/hr, Pt shall not exceed 0.6. For Q greater than or equal to 10,000 mmBtu/hr, Pt shall not exceed 0.2. Figure 1 may be used to estimate allowable emissions.
(b) The emission limitations for those indirect heating facilities which were existing and in operation on or before June 8, 1972, shall be calculated using the equation contained in subsection (a) of this section where: Q shall reflect the total source capacity on June 8, 1972. The resulting Pt is the emission limitation for each facility existing on that date and will not be affected by the addition of any subsequent facility. The particulate emissions from all of the facilities which were in existence on June 8, 1972, may be allocated in any way among these facilities provided that they will not result in a significantly greater air quality impact level at any receptor than that which would result if the particulate emissions from each of these facilities were limited to Pt; and provided that the emission limitations for each facility are specified in its operation permit. Significant impact levels are defined in 326 IAC 2-3-2(f).(c) The emission limitations for those indirect heating facilities which began operation after June 8, 1972, and before September 21, 1983, and those facilities which receive permits to construct prior September 21, 1983 shall be calculated using the equation contained in subsection (a) of this section where: Q includes the capacity for the facility in question and the capacities for those facilities which were previously constructed or received prior permits to construct. The limitations for all previously permitted facilities do not change. The Q and Pt for each facility at a source which begins operation or receives a construction permit during this time period will be different.
