The purpose of Sections 225.291 through 225.299 (hereinafter referred to as the Combined Pollutant Standard ("CPS")) is to allow an alternate means of compliance with the emissions standards for mercury in Section 225.230(a) for specified EGUs through permanent shut-down, installation of ACI, the application of pollution control technology for NOx, PM, and SO2 emissions, or the conversion of an EGU to a fuel other than coal (such as natural gas or distillate fuel oil with sulfur content no greater than 15 ppm), that also reduce mercury emissions as a co-benefit and to establish permanent emissions standards for those specified EGUs. Unless otherwise provided for in the CPS, owners and operators of those specified EGUs are not excused from compliance with other applicable requirements of Subparts B, C, D, and E.
