Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 8, August 1, 2024
Section 340-240-0110 - Wood Waste Boilers(1) No person may cause or permit the emission of particulate matter from any boiler with a heat input capacity greater than 35 million Btu/hour unless the boiler has been equipped with emission control devices which: (a) Limits emissions of particulate matter to LAER as defined by DEQ at the time DEQ approves the control device; and (b) Limits visible emissions such that opacity does not exceed 5% as a six minute average, unless the permittee demonstrates by source test that emissions can be limited to LAER at higher visible emissions, but in no case may emissions equal or exceed 10% opacity as a six minute average. Specific opacity limits will be included in the permit for each affected source. (2) For boilers existing in the baseline period with a heat input capacity greater than 35 million Btu/hour, boiler mass emission limits for the purpose of establishing the facility's netting basis under OAR 340-222-0046 will be based on particulate matter emissions of 0.030 grains per dry standard cubic foot, corrected to 12% CO2. (3) Rebuilt Boilers are subject to OAR 340-240-0110(1). Boiler mass emissions for purposes of OAR 340-222-0041 will be based on LAER at the time DEQ approves the rebuilt boiler. NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
