General recordkeeping provisions for specific situations.

§ 75.58 General recordkeeping provisions for specific situations.

The owner or operator shall meet all of the applicable recordkeeping requirements of this section.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) Specific parametric data record provisions for calculating substitute emissions data for units with add-on emission controls. In accordance with § 75.34, the owner or operator of an affected unit with add-on emission controls shall either record the applicable information in paragraph (b)(3) of this section for each hour of missing SO2 concentration data or NOX emission rate (in addition to other information), or shall record the information in paragraph (b)(1) of this section for SO2 or paragraph (b)(2) of this section for NOX through an automated data acquisition and handling system, as appropriate to the type of add-on emission controls:

(1) For units with add-on SO2 emission controls using the optional parametric monitoring procedures in appendix C to this part, for each hour of missing SO2 concentration or volumetric flow data:

(i) The information required in § 75.57(c) for SO2 concentration and volumetric flow, if either one of these monitors is still operating;

(ii) Date and hour;

(iii) Number of operating scrubber modules;

(iv) Total feedrate of slurry to each operating scrubber module (gal/min);

(v) Pressure differential across each operating scrubber module (inches of water column);

(vi) For a unit with a wet flue gas desulfurization system, an in-line measure of absorber pH for each operating scrubber module;

(vii) For a unit with a dry flue gas desulfurization system, the inlet and outlet temperatures across each operating scrubber module;

(viii) For a unit with a wet flue gas desulfurization system, the percent solids in slurry for each scrubber module;

(ix) For a unit with a dry flue gas desulfurization system, the slurry feed rate (gal/min) to the atomizer nozzle;

(x) For a unit with SO2 add-on emission controls other than wet or dry limestone, corresponding parameters approved by the Administrator;

(xi) Method of determination of SO2 concentration and volumetric flow using Codes 1-55 in Table 4a of § 75.57; and

(xii) Inlet and outlet SO2 concentration values, recorded by an SO2 continuous emission monitoring system, and the removal efficiency of the add-on emission controls.

(2) For units with add-on NOX emission controls using the optional parametric monitoring procedures in appendix C to this part, for each hour of missing NOX emission rate data:

(i) Date and hour;

(ii) Inlet air flow rate (scfh, rounded to the nearest thousand);

(iii) Excess O2 concentration of flue gas at stack outlet (percent, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent);

(iv) Carbon monoxide concentration of flue gas at stack outlet (ppm, rounded to the nearest tenth);

(v) Temperature of flue gas at furnace exit or economizer outlet duct (°F);

(vi) Other parameters specific to NOX emission controls (e.g., average hourly reagent feedrate);

(vii) Method of determination of NOX emission rate using Codes 1-55 in Table 4a of § 75.57; and

(viii) Inlet and outlet NOX emission rate values recorded by a NOX continuous emission monitoring system and the removal efficiency of the add-on emission controls.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in § 75.34(d), for units with add-on SO2 or NOX emission controls following the provisions of §§ 75.34(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(5), the owner or operator shall record:

(i) Parametric data which demonstrate, for each hour of missing SO2 or NOX emission data, the proper operation of the add-on emission controls, as described in the quality assurance/quality control program for the unit. The parametric data shall be maintained on site and shall be submitted, upon request, to the Administrator, EPA Regional office, State, or local agency;
