25 Pa. Code § 123.121. NO<SUB>x</SUB> Allowance Program transition.

§ 123.121. NOx Allowance Program transition.

 (a)  NOx allocations for the NOx allowance control periods starting May 1, 2003, will be distributed in accordance with Chapter 145 (relating to interstate pollution transport reduction).

 (b)  The emission limitations and monitoring requirements established in § §  123.101—123.120 are replaced by the requirements in Chapter 145 beginning with the May 1, 2003, control period. If a source has failed to demonstrate compliance with §  123.111 (relating to failure to meet source compliance requirements), the provisions in §  145.54(d) (relating to compliance) shall be used to withhold NOx allowances in calendar year 2003 and beyond. If no NOx allowances are provided to the source under §  145.42 (relating to NOx allowance allocations), the source will be obligated to acquire and retire a number of NOx allowances as specified in §  145.54.

APPENDIX D
ALTERNATIVE OPACITY LIMITATION—APPLICATION




Applicable Regulation
Opacity/Mass Limitation
Procedure
A. Sources subject to EPA NSPSOpacity limit specified in NSPSEPA procedure for AOL applies
Opacity limit not specified in NSPSDER procedure will be used to establish AOL at the NSPS level for mass emissions
B. Sources subject to nonattainment area provisions (LAER applies)Emission limitation will be specified in permitDER procedure will be used to establish AOL at the maximum mass emissions rate specified as LAER
C. Sources subject to permit requirements (e.g., BACT)Mass emission rate specific in PAA or permitDER procedure will be used to establish AOL at BACT mass emission rate
No mass emission rate specified in PAA or permit (e.g., equipment specification), 2 cases
 1. No opacity limit specified in PAA or permitNot eligible for AOL
 2. No opacity limit specified in PAA or permit (mass emission rate and opacity limits under DER regulation are assumed to apply)DER procedure will be used to establish AOL at the regulatory emission rate
D. Sources subject only to DER regulations (RACT)—no permit conditions applyMass emission limitation specified in DER regulationDER procedure will be used to establish AOL at the regulatory emission rate
No mass emission limitation specified in DER regulationNot eligible for AOL

   NOTE: Sources incapable of a stack test are ineligible for an AOL
Abbreviations: AOL—alternative opacity limitation
NSPS—New source performance standards
PAA—plan approval application
BACT—best available control technology
LAER—lowest achievable emission rate
RACT—reasonably available control technology
PSD—prevention of significant deterioration
