Cause it to emit VOC in concentrations that do not exceed 50 ppmvd at seven percent oxygen;2. Cause it to emit CO in concentrations that do not exceed 100 ppmvd at seven percent oxygen; and3. Adjust its combustion process in accordance with the procedure set forth at 7:27-19.16 and the following schedule: i. For any boiler serving an electric generating unit, regardless of size, by May 1 of each calendar year, except the adjustment may occur within seven days of the first period of operation after May 1, if the boiler has not operated between January 1 and May 1 of that year; orii. For any industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger with a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 50 million BTU per hour or greater: (1) If not located at a major NOx facility, in the same quarter of each calendar year beginning in 2007; or(2) If located at a major NOx facility, or required by this section prior to November 7, 2005 to adjust the combustion process, in the same quarter of each calendar year.(c) The owner or operator of any industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger with a maximum gross heat input rate at least five million BTU per hour, but less than 50 million BTU per hour, shall adjust the combustion process annually in accordance with the procedure set forth at 7:27-19.16 and the following schedule: 1. For an industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger with a maximum gross heat input rate of at least five million BTU per hour, but less than 10 million BTU per hour, whether or not located at a major NOx facility, in the same quarter of each calendar year, beginning in 2010; and2. For an industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger with a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 10 million BTU per hour, but less than 20 million BTU per hour, whether or not located at a major NOx facility, in the same quarter of each calendar year, beginning in 2008; or3. For an industrial/commercial/institutional boiler or other indirect heat exchanger with a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 20 million BTU per hour, but less than 50 million BTU per hour: i. If not located at a major NOx facility, in the same quarter of each calendar year beginning in 2007; orii. If located at a major NOx facility, or required by this section prior to November 7, 2005 to adjust the combustion process, in the same quarter of each calendar year.(d) Except as set forth in (b)3ii(1), (c)1 and 2, and (c)3i above, any owner or operator of a boiler subject to this section shall achieve compliance with (b) above by May 31, 1995, and maintain compliance with this subsection thereafter.(e) The owner or operator of any boiler serving:1. An electric generating unit or industrial/commercial/institutional boiler subject to this section, except as set forth in (b)3ii(1), (c)1 and 2, and (c)3i above, shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with the procedures at 7:27-16.23 before May 31, 1996; and2.
