The operator of a facility who is required to report
under section
95101 of this article, and who is
not eligible for abbreviated reporting under section
95103(a), must
comply with Subpart V of 40 CFR Part 98 (§§
98.220 to
98.228) in reporting stationary
combustion and process emissions and related data from nitric acid production
to ARB, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(a) CO
2
from
Fossil Fuel Combustion. When calculating CO
2
emissions from fossil fuel combustion at a stationary combustion unit under
40 CFR §
98.222(b), the operator must
use a method in 40 CFR
§
98.33(a)(1) to §
98.33(a)(4) as
specified by fuel type in section
95115 of this article.
(b)
Monitoring, Data and
Records. For each emissions calculation method chosen under section
95118(a), the
operator must meet the applicable requirements for monitoring, missing data
procedures, data reporting, and records retention that are specified
40 CFR §
98.34 to §
98.37, except as modified in
sections
95115,
95118(c)-(d), and
95129 of this article.
(c)
Missing Data Substitution
Procedures. The operator must comply with
40 CFR §
98.225 when substituting for missing data,
except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (1)-(3) below.
(1) To substitute for missing data for
emissions reported under section
95115 of this article (stationary
combustion units and units using continuous emissions monitoring systems), the
operator must follow the requirements of section
95129 of this article.
(2) For each missing value of nitric acid
production used to calculate emissions pursuant to
40 CFR §
98.223, the operator must substitute the
missing data values according to the procedures in paragraphs (A)-(B) below.
(A) If the analytical data capture rate is at
least 80 percent for the data year, the operator must substitute for each
missing value according to 40 CFR §
98.225(a) and the number of
days per month.
(B) If the
analytical data capture rate is less than 80 percent for the data year, the
operator must substitute for each missing value with the maximum capacity of
the system and the number of days per month.
(3) The operator must document and keep
records of the procedures used for estimating missing data pursuant to the
recordkeeping requirements of section
95105.
(d)
Additional Product Data.
The operator of a nitric acid manufacturing facility must report the annual
production of nitric acid (HNO3) and calcium ammonium
nitrate solution (short tons). Reporting the annual production of calcium
ammonium nitrate solution is no longer required beginning in 2019 for reporting
of 2018 data.
(e)
Site-Specific Emission Factor and Production Data. The
operator of a nitric acid manufacturing facility that determines
N
2O process emissions per the requirements
40 CFR §
98.223(a)(1) that is subject
to a compliance obligation under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation, must conduct
performance tests for each nitric acid train as specified in
40 CFR §
98.223(b)(1) at least twice
per calendar year, with at least four months between testing events. The
results of each testing event for each nitric acid train shall be
arithmetically averaged (non-weighted) to compute an annual average
site-specific N
2O emission factor for each nitric acid
train, and applied to equation V-1 of
40 CFR §
98.223(c) to compute annual
N
2O process emissions. The operator of a nitric acid
manufacturing facility that determines N
2O process
emissions per the requirements
40 CFR §
98.223(a)(1), but is not
subject to a compliance obligation under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation, must
conduct performance tests for each nitric acid train as specified in
40 CFR §
98.223(b)(1) at least once
per calendar year.
