(a) For utility boilers that fire, or that are capable of firing, oil or gas, or any combination thereof, the NOx RACT requirements shall be as follows:
- (1) For tangential or face-fired boilers when firing exclusively oil, an emission limit of 0.35 lb. per million Btu, based on a 24-hour calendar day average;
- (2) For face-fired boilers when firing gas or any combination of oil and gas, an emission limit of 0.25 lb. per million Btu based on a 24-hour calendar day average; and
- (3) For tangential-fired boilers when firing gas or any combination of oil and gas, an emission limit of 0.25 lb. per million Btu based on a 24-hour calendar day average.
- (b) For boilers that fire gas exclusively, an emission limit of 0.20 lb. per million Btu, based on an hourly average, for tangential or face-fired boilers.
(c) For boilers that fire wood fuel or that are capable of firing a combination of wood fuel and oil:
- (1) For boilers equipped with a traveling, shaker, or vibrating grate, an emission limit of 0.33 lb. per million Btu, based on a 24-hour calendar day average; and
- (2) For boilers equipped with a stationary grate, an emission limit of 0.25 lb. per million Btu, based on a 24-hour calendar day average.
- (d) Utility boilers that fire any fuel or combination of fuels excluding coal shall be limited at all times to the equivalent of 3.8 tons of NOx per 24-hour calendar day.
