NR 440.59 Note
Note:
Under
40 CFR 60.474 (g), if fuel oil is to be used to fire an afterburner used to control emissions from a blowing still, the owner or operator may petition the administrator in accordance with
40 CFR 60.11 (e), to establish an opacity standard for the blowing still that will be the opacity standard when fuel oil is used to fire the afterburner. To obtain this opacity standard, the owner or operator must request the administrator to determine opacity during an initial, or subsequent, performance test when fuel oil is used to fire the afterburner. Upon receipt of the results of the performance test, the administrator will made a finding concerning compliance with the mass standard for the blowing still. If the administrator finds that the facility was in compliance with the mass standard during the performance test but failed to meet the zero opacity standard, the administrator will establish and promulgate in the Federal Register an opacity standard for the blowing still that will be the opacity standard when fuel oil is used to fire the afterburner. When the afterburner is fired with natural gas, the zero percent opacity remains the applicable opacity standard.
