a. BAAQMD
b. BACT is 12 ppmvd NOx @ 15% O₂ and 265 ppmvd CO @ 15% O₂ regardless of fuel. However, for special situations such as temporary operations and/or remote locations where natural gas is not available, liquefied petroleum gas or fuel oil < 0.05 wt. % sulfur may be permitted to emit at higher levels as specified below:
1). "Temporary operations" using exclusively liquefied petroleum gas shall not remain at any single plant for a period in excess of 12 consecutive months, following the date of initial operation, and may be permitted up to 38 ppmvd NOx @ 15% O₂and 265 ppmvd CO @ 15% O₂. [Basis: Monterey Bay Unitied APCD A/C #10287]
2). "Temporary operations" using exclusively fuel oil < 0.05 wt. % sulfur shall not remain at any single plant for a period in excess of 3 consecutive months, following the date of initial operation, and may be permitted up to 55 ppmvd NOx @ 15% O₂ and 265 ppmvd CO @ 15% O₂.[Basis: Reference a. above]
3). For remote locations where natural gas is not available, liquefied petroleum gas may be permitted up to 38 ppmvd NOx @ 15% O₂ and 265 ppmvd CO @ 15% O₂ and fuel oil < 0.05 wt. % sulfur may be permitted up to 55 ppmvd NOx @ 15% O₂ and 265 ppmvd CO @ 15% O₂. [Basis: Monterey Bay APCD A/C #10287 and Reference a. above]
