NR 440.205(5)(f)(f) Any owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts byproduct/waste with either natural gas or oil may petition the administrator within 180 days of the initial startup of the affected facility to establish a nitrogen oxide emission limit which shall apply specifically to that affected facility when the byproduct/waste is combusted. The petition shall include sufficient and appropriate data, as determined by the administrator, such as nitrogen oxides emissions from the affected facility, waste composition (including nitrogen content), and combustion conditions to allow the administrator to confirm that the affected facility is unable to comply with the emission limits in par. (e) and to determine the appropriate emission limit for the affected facility. NR 440.205(5)(f)1.1. Any owner or operator of an affected facility petitioning for a facility-specific nitrogen oxides emission limit under this subsection shall: NR 440.205(5)(f)1.a.a. Demonstrate compliance with the emission limits in the par. (a) table for natural gas and distillate oil or for residual oil as appropriate, by conducting a 30-day performance test as provided in sub. (7) (e). During the performance test only natural gas, distillate oil, or residual oil shall be combusted in the affected facility; and NR 440.205(5)(f)1.b.b. Demonstrate that the affected facility is unable to comply with the emission limits in the par. (a) table for natural gas and distillate oil or for residual oil as appropriate, when gaseous or liquid byproduct/waste is combusted in the affected facility under the same conditions and using the same technological system of emission reduction applied when demonstrating compliance under subd. 1. a. NR 440.205(5)(f)2.2. The nitrogen oxides emission limits in the par. (a) table for natural gas or distillate oil or for residual oil, as appropriate, shall be applicable to the affected facility until and unless the petition is approved by the administrator. If the petition is approved by the administrator, a facility-specific nitrogen oxides emission limit will be established at the nitrogen oxides emission level achievable when the affected facility is combusting oil or natural gas and byproduct/waste in a manner which the administrator determines to be consistent with minimizing nitrogen oxides emissions. NR 440.205(5)(g)(g) Any owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts hazardous waste, as defined by 40 CFR part 261 or 40 CFR part 761, as in effect on July 1, 1994, with natural gas or oil may petition the administrator within 180 days of the initial startup of the affected facility for a waiver from compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit which applies specifically to that affected facility. The petition shall include sufficient and appropriate data, as determined by the administrator, on nitrogen oxides emissions from the affected facility, waste destruction efficiencies, waste composition (including nitrogen content), the quantity of specific wastes to be combusted and combustion conditions, to allow the administrator to determine if the affected facility is able to comply with the nitrogen oxides emission limits required by this subsection. The owner or operator of the affected facility shall demonstrate that when hazardous waste is combusted in the affected facility, thermal destruction efficiency requirements for hazardous waste specified in an applicable federally enforceable requirement preclude compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limits of this subsection. The nitrogen oxides emission limits in the par. (a) table for natural gas or distillate oil or for residual oil, as appropriate, are applicable to the affected facility until and unless the petition is approved by the administrator.

(j), compliance with the emission limits under this subsection is determined on a 30-day rolling average basis. NR 440.205(5)(j)(j) Compliance with the emission limits under this subsection is determined on a 24-hour average basis for the initial performance test and on a 3-hour average basis for subsequent performance tests for any affected facilities that: NR 440.205(5)(j)1.1. Combust, alone or in combination, only natural gas, distillate oil or residual oil with a nitrogen content of 0.30 weight percent or less; NR 440.205(5)(j)2.2.

(j) 1., 2., and 3., and that have a heat input capacity of 73 MW (250 million Btu/hour) or less, are not subject to the nitrogen oxides emission limits under this subsection. NR 440.205(5)(L)(L) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is completed or is required to be completed under s. NR 440.08, whichever date comes first, no owner or operator of an affected facility which commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after July 9, 1997 may cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from that affected facility any gases that contain nitrogen oxides (expressed as NO2) in excess of one of the following limits: NR 440.205(5)(L)1.1. If the affected facility combusts coal, oil or natural gas, or a mixture of these fuels, or with any other fuels: a limit of 86 ng/J (0.20 lb/million Btu) heat input unless the affected facility has an annual capacity factor for coal, oil and natural gas of 10% (0.10) or less and is subject to a federally enforceable requirement that limits operation of the facility to an annual capacity factor of 10% (0.10) or less for coal, oil and natural gas. NR 440.205(5)(L)2.2. If the affected facility has a low heat release rate and combusts natural gas or distillate oil in excess of 30% of the heat input from the combustion of all fuels, a limit determined by use of the following formula: En = [(0.10 * Hgo) + (0.20 * Hr)]/(Hgo + Hr)

The first operating day included in the initial performance test shall be scheduled within 30 days after achieving the maximum production rate at which the affected facility will be operated, but not later than 180 days after initial startup of the facility. NR 440.205(6)(c)2.2. If only coal or only oil is combusted, the following procedures are used: NR 440.205(6)(c)2.a.a. The procedures in Method 19, Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17, shall be used to determine the hourly sulfur dioxide emission rate (Eho) and the 30-day average emission rate (Eao). The hourly averages used to compute the 30-day averages are obtained from the continuous emission monitoring system of sub. (8) (a) or (b). NR 440.205(6)(c)2.b.b. The percent of potential sulfur dioxide emission rate (%Ps) emitted to the atmosphere is computed using the following formula: where:
