This subsection does not apply to major stationary sources subject to a Best Available Control Technology determination or to diesel-fired equipment or vehicles subject to more stringent federal diesel fuel sulfur requirements.(c) Small area sources of PM-2.5 listed below shall provide the following information to the department by March 15, 2020, or 60 days after commencing operations (1) commercial charbroilers shall identify the(A) name and location of the commercial cooking operation;(B) operation type - chain - driven or under-fired;(C) number and size, in cooking surface square feet, of each charbroiler at a commercial cooking operation;(D) type of fuel used to heat each charbroiler;(E) type and quantity, in pounds, of meat cooked on each charbroiler on a weekly basis for the previous 12-month period;(F) daily operating hours of the commercial cooking operation;(G) air flow rate, measured in cubic feet per minute, of hood or exhaust system serving each charbroiler; and(H) manufacturer and model of any installed pollution control devices designed to reduce particulates, kitchen smoke, or odor;(2) commercial incinerators shall identify the(A) owner name and physical address;(B) source type, including medical, liquid, or solid waste;(E) throughput of waste stream, expressed in pounds per hour;(F) daily hours of operation;(G) applicable emission limits and regulatory authorities that govern their operation; and(H) manufacturer and model of any installed pollution control devices designed to control or limit particulates, smoke, or odor.(3) commercial used oil burners shall identify the(A) owner name, facility name, and physical address of the facility;(B) the purpose of the burner, for example, space heating or boiler operation;(C) number and type of burners;(D) fuel type, for example, lubricants, heat transfer fluids, solvents, cleaning agents, mixtures, or cooking oil;(E) fuel source, for example; if it is purchased, self-generated, or disposal;(F) fuel quality, including whether it is raw or processed and, if processed whether it is processed to specifications;(G) amount of fuel, measured in gallons, consumed by each burner in an hour;(H) daily operating hours for each burner;(I) applicable emission limits and regulatory authorities that govern their operation;(J) manufacturer and model of each waste burner; and(K) manufacturer and model of any installed pollution control devices designed to control or limit particulates, smoke, or odor.(d) Commercial coffee roasters within an area identified in 18 AAC 50.015(b)(3) shall install a pollution control device, such as a catalytic oxidizer or thermal oxidizer, on any unit that emits 24 pounds or more of particulate matter in a 12-month period. The pollution control device must be appropriate to the unit and approved by the department. The device must be installed not later than one year from January 8, 2020 or before commencing operation, whichever is later.
