25 Pa. Code § 145.223 - Supplemental monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for gross electrical output and useful thermal energy for units subject to 40 CFR 96.370-96.375
(a) By
January 1, 2009, or by the date of commencing commercial operation, whichever
is later, the owner or operator of the CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a wattmeter, measure gross electrical
output in megawatt-hours on a continuous basis and record the output of the
wattmeter. If a generator is served by two or more units, the information to
determine the heat input of each unit for that control period shall also be
recorded, so as to allow each unit's share of the gross electrical output to be
determined. If heat input data are used, the owner or operator shall comply
with the applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 75 (relating to continuous
emission monitoring).
(b) By
September 1, 2008, for a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit that is a cogeneration
unit, and for a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit with cogeneration capabilities, the
owner or operator shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate meters for
steam flow in lbs/hr, temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and pressure in PSI, to
measure and record the useful thermal energy that is produced, in mmBtu/hr, on
a continuous basis. The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit that
produces useful thermal energy but uses an energy transfer medium other than
steam, such as hot water or glycol, shall install, calibrate, maintain and
operate the necessary meters to measure and record the data necessary to
express the useful thermal energy produced, in mmBtu/hr, on a continuous basis.
If the unit ceases to produce useful thermal energy, the owner or operator may
cease operation of the meters, but operation of the meters shall be resumed if
the unit resumes production of useful thermal energy.
(c) Beginning with 2009, the designated
representative of the unit shall submit to the Department an annual report
showing monthly gross electrical output and monthly useful thermal energy from
the unit. The report is due by January 31 for the preceding calendar year.
(d) The owner or operator of a
CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall maintain onsite the monitoring plan detailing
the monitoring system and maintenance of the monitoring system, including
quality assurance activities. The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season
unit shall retain the monitoring plan for at least 5 years from the date that
it is replaced by a new or revised monitoring plan. The owner or operator of a
CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall provide the Department with a written copy of
the monitoring plan by January 1, 2009, and thereafter within 3 calendar months
of making updates to the plan.
(e)
The owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit shall retain records for
at least 5 years from the date the record is created or the data collected as
required by subsections (a) and (b), and the reports submitted to the
Department and the EPA in accordance with subsections (c) and (d).
