25 Pa. Code § 123.25 - Monitoring requirements
(a) This
section applies to the following:
(1)
Combustion units specified in §
123.22(a)(4), (b)(4), (c)(4) or
(e)(5) (relating to combustion
units).
(2) Fossil fuel-fired steam
generators of greater than 250 million Btus per hour of heat input which has
installed sulfur dioxide pollutant control equipment.
(3) Sulfuric acid plants of greater than 300
tons per day production capacity, the production being expressed as 100%
acid.
(b) A source
subject to this section shall install, operate and maintain continuous
SO2 monitoring systems in compliance with Chapter 139
Subchapter C (relating to requirements for continuous in-stack monitoring for
stationary sources). Results of emission monitoring shall be submitted to the
Department on a regular basis in compliance with Chapter 139 Subchapter
C.
(c) Continuous
SO2 monitoring systems installed under this section
shall meet the minimum data availability requirements in Chapter 139 Subchapter
C.
(d) The following are
alternative monitoring systems:
(1) The
Department will allow sources specified in subsection (a)(1) to utilize
sulfur-in-fuel sampling programs in lieu of the requirements of subsection (b).
These programs shall meet the requirements of Chapter 139 Subchapter
C.
(2) The Department may exempt a
source from the requirements of subsection (b) if the Department determines
that the installation of a continuous emission monitoring system would not
provide accurate determination of emissions or that installation of a
continuous emission monitoring system cannot be implemented by a source due to
physical plant limitations or to extreme economic reasons. The Department will
require an exempted source to fulfill alternative emission monitoring and
reporting requirements.
(e) The Department may use the data from the
SO2 monitoring devices or from the alternative
monitoring systems required by this section to enforce the emission limitations
for SO2 defined in this article.
(f) Compliance with this section shall be
obtained no later than 18 months after the effective date of the listing of any
source identified in subsection (a). The Department may grant orders providing
reasonable extension of time for sources that have made good faith efforts to
install, operate and maintain continuous monitoring devices, but that have been
unable to complete the operations within the time period provided.
(g) The Department may use the data from the
SO2 monitoring systems or from the alternative
monitoring systems required by this section to determine compliance with the
applicable emission limitations for SO2 established in
this article.
