N.M. Code R. § 20.2.86.104

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 11, June 11, 2024

Section 20.2.86.104 - PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

A. As a component of a 20.2.72 NMAC, 20.2.74 NMAC or 20.2.79 NMAC permit application, the owner or operator of any power plant subject to this part shall submit to the department a control strategy selection report that analyzes control of mercury emissions. The control strategy selection report shall:

(1) analyze and indicate whether BACT or ninety percent removal of mercury from the input fuel results in greater mercury emission reductions;

(2) indicate, based on control efficiency, whether BACT or ninety percent removal of mercury from the input fuel is to be implemented at the power plant to reduce mercury emissions; and

(3) provide sufficient documentation (i.e., manufacturers guarantees, emissions calculations, etc.) to support the control strategy chosen under Paragraph (2) of this subsection.

B. The department shall make a final determination, based on control efficiency, whether BACT or ninety percent removal of mercury from the input fuel shall be implemented at the power plant to reduce mercury emissions. The control strategy that results in greater control efficiency shall be used by the department to determine an allowable mercury emission limit. The department shall include the allowable mercury emission limit in the resulting air quality permit as an enforceable permit condition. The department shall establish monitoring and recordkeeping requirements that ensure compliance with the permit condition.
