SECTION 217.121 NEW EMISSION SOURCES
Section 217.121 New Emission Sources
No person shall cause or allow the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere in any one hour period from any new fuel combustion emission source with an actual heat input equal to or greater than 73.2 MW (250 mmbtu/hr) to exceed the following standards and limitations:
a) For gaseous fossil fuel firing, 0.310 kg/MW-hr (0.20 lbs/mmbtu) of actual heat input;
b) For liquid fossil fuel firing, 0.464 kg/MW-hr (0.30 lbs/mmbtu) of actual heat input;
c) For dual gaseous and liquid fossil fuel firing, 0.464 kg/MW-hr (0.30 lbs/mmbtu) of actual heat input;
d) For solid fossil fuel firing, 1.08 kg/MW-hr (0.7 lbs.mmbtu) of actual heat input;
e) For fuel combustion emission sources burning simultaneously any combination of solid, liquid and gaseous fossil fuels, an allowable emission rate shall be determined by the following equation:
|

= |
(AG + BL + CS) Q |
