N.J. Admin. Code § 7:27-19.15

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 12, June 17, 2024

Section 7:27-19.15 - Procedures and deadlines for demonstrating compliance

(a) Except as set forth in (d) and (e) below, the owner or operator of equipment or a source operation subject to an emission limit under this subchapter shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limit as follows:

1. If a continuous emissions monitoring system has been installed on the equipment or source operation, or if any other provision of this subchapter requires emissions from the equipment or source operation to be monitored by a continuous emissions monitoring system under 7:27-19.18, the owner or operator shall calculate the average NO[x] emission rate using the data from such a system for the NO[x] concentration in the flue gas and either the flue gas flow rate or the fuel flow rate. To calculate the emission rate using the NO[x] concentration and fuel flow rate, the owner or operator shall use the conversion procedure set forth in the Acid Rain regulations at 40 CFR 75, Appendix F, or an alternative procedure that the Department determines will yield the same result. Compliance with the limit shall be based upon the average of emissions:

i. Between May 1 and September 30, over each calendar day; and

ii. From October 1 through April 30 of the following year, over the 30-day period ending on each such day; or

2. If no continuous emissions monitoring system has been or is required to be installed on the equipment or source operation, compliance with the limit shall be based upon the average of three one-hour tests, each performed over a consecutive 60-minute period specified by the Department, and performed in compliance with 7:27-19.17. Any NO[x] testing conducted pursuant to this section shall be conducted concurrently with CO testing. The applicable NO[x] emission limits in this subchapter will not be considered to have been met unless the concurrent CO testing demonstrates compliance with the CO limit in 7:27-16.8, 16.9, 16.10, 16.11, or the permit limit for CO, whichever is more stringent, is also met.

(b) Except as set forth in (d) and (e) below, for any equipment or source operation subject to this subchapter that was in operation before January 1, 1995, the owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with (a)1 or 2 above by May 31, 1996, and thereafter at the frequency set forth in the permit for such equipment or source operation, except that the owner or operator of any facility, equipment or source operation that is subject to a NO[x] emissions limit under this subchapter as set forth at 7:27-19.5(d), 19.7(h), or 19.8(e), and that is in operation before November 7, 2005 shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with (a)1 or 2 above by March 7, 2008. Test results that demonstrate compliance with a new requirement within the five years preceding November 7, 2005 shall be accepted by the Department as satisfying this test requirement, if the testing and test report were reviewed by the Department and found satisfactory.

(c) Except as set forth in (d) and (e) below, for any equipment or source operation subject to this subchapter which commences operations or is altered after January 1, 1995, the owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with (a)1 or 2 above within 180 days from the date on which the source commences operation, and thereafter at the frequency set forth in the permit for such equipment or source operation.

(d) For any equipment or source operation at an asphalt pavement production plant subject to a NO[x] emissions limit at 7:27-19.9(a), the owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with (a)2 above, within 365 days from the date at 7:27-19.9(f)1 or 2, and thereafter at the frequency set forth in the permit for such equipment or source operation.

(e) The owner or operator of any glass manufacturing furnace identified at 7:27-19.2(b)6 through 9 shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limit at 7:27-19.10(a), (b) or (f)2, as applicable, as follows:

1. Within 180 days after the first date after May 19, 2009 on which rebricking of the furnace is completed, and thereafter at the frequency set forth in the permit for such glass manufacturing furnace, the owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance in accordance with (e)2 or 3 below, whichever is applicable.

2. If a continuous emissions monitoring system has not been installed on the glass manufacturing furnace the owner or operator shall:

i. Determine the average pounds of NO[x] emitted per hour by averaging three one-hour tests in accordance with (a)2 above;

ii. Determine the average tons of glass removed per hour during the same time period as the three one-hour tests in (e)2i above;

iii. Divide the average pounds of NO[x] emitted per hour determined in (e)2i by the average tons of glass removed per hour determined in (e)2ii. The quotient is pounds of NO[x] emitted per of ton glass removed;

iv. Compare the quotient to the emission limit specified at 7:27-19.10(a), (b) or (f)2, as applicable; and

v. Comply with the CO testing requirements at (a)2 above.

3. If a continuous emissions monitoring system has been installed on the glass manufacturing furnace, on a daily basis the owner or operator shall:

i. Determine the average pounds of NO[x] emitted per day in accordance with (a)1i or ii above, as applicable;

ii. Determine the tons of glass removed per day during the same day as in (e)3i above;

iii. Divide the average pounds of NO[x] emitted per day determined in (e)3i by the tons of glass removed per day determined in (e)3ii. The quotient is pounds of NO[x] emitted per ton of glass removed; and

iv. Compare the quotient to the emission limit at 7:27-19.10(a), (b) or (f)2, as applicable.

(f) An exceedance of any applicable NO[x] emission limit set forth in this subchapter, determined through testing or monitoring performed pursuant to (a) through (e) above or otherwise, is a violation of this subchapter.
