Mo. Code Regs. Ann. tit. 10, § 10-2.040
PURPOSE: This rule tightens the emission limitations on indirect heating sources, differentiates between new and existing sources and changes the method of compliance determination allowing for easier enforcement of the rule.
(1) General Provisions.
(E) For the purpose of this rule only, the following terms shall have the meaning ascribed:
was in being, installed or under construction on February 15, 1979, except that if any source subsequently is altered, repaired or rebuilt at a cost of thirty percent (30%) or more of its replacement cost, exclusive of routine maintenance, it shall no longer be existing, but shall be considered as new; and
an existing source, as defined in paragraph (1)(E)1.
(2) Maximum Allowable Particulate Emission Rate (ER) From Existing Indirect Heating Sources.
(B) Emission Limitations.
ER for an installation of existing indirect heating sources with a heat input rate of less than ten (10) million BTUs per hour shall be 0.60 pounds per million BTUs of heat input.
ER for an installation of existing indirect heating sources with a heat input rate equal to or greater than ten (10) million BTUs per hour and less than or equal to five thousand (5000) million BTUs per hour shall be determined by the following equation:
E = 1.09 (Q) -0.259
where E = the maximum allowable particulate ER in pounds per million BTU of heat input, rounded off to two (2) decimal places; and Q = the installation heat input in millions of BTU per hour.
ER for an installation of existing indirect heating sources with a heat input rate greater than five thousand (5000) million BTUs per hour shall be 0.12 pounds per million BTUs of heat input.
(3) Maximum Allowable Particulate ER From New Indirect Heating Sources.
maximum allowable particulate ER which is to be applied to each new indirect heating source within the installation. The maximum allowable particulate ER from the existing indirect heating sources within an installation shall be determined as specified by section (2). After that, each indirect heating source within the installation shall be tested and considered independently for compliance with this rule.
(B) Emission Limitations.
ER for new sources in an installation of indirect heating sources with a heat input rate of less than ten (10) million BTUs per hour shall be 0.40 pounds per million BTUs of heat input.
ER for new sources in an installation of indirect heating sources with a heat input rate equal to or greater than ten (10) million BTUs per hour and less than or equal to one thousand (1000) million BTUs per hour shall be determined by the following equation:
E = 0.80 (Q) -0.301
where E = the maximum allowable particulate ER in pounds per million BTUs of heat input, rounded off to two (2) decimal places; and Q = the installation heat input in millions of BTUs per hour.
ER for new sources in an installation of indirect heating sources with a heat input rate greater than one thousand (1000) million BTUs per hour shall be 0.10 pounds per million BTUs of heat input.
(5) Alternate Method of Compliance.
(A) Compliance with this rule also may be demonstrated if the weighted average ER of two (2) or more indirect heating sources is less than or equal to the maximum allowable particulate ER determined in section (2) or (3).
rect heating sources to be averaged shall be calculated by the following formula: nG (ER i . Q i) i = 1 WAER=_____________________________
nG Q i i = 1
where WAER = the weighted average ER in pounds per million BTUs; ERi = the actual ER of the ith indirect heating source in pounds per million BTUs; Qi = the rated heat input of the ith indirect heating source in millions of BTUs per hour; and n = the number of indirect heating sources in the average.
(C) This section (5) only shall apply—
burning coal; and
ER determined in subsection (5)(B) for each indirect heating source does not exceed the maximum allowable particulate ER determined for that source from section (2) or (3) of this rule using the rated heat input, Qi, for that individual indirect heating source as if that individual indirect heating source was the only source at the installation.
