Section R. 336.2101 - Continuous emission monitoring, fossil fuel-fired steam generatorsRule 1101.
(1) Except as specified in R 336.2199, the owner or operator of any fossil fuel-fired steam generator that has an annual average capacity factor of more than 30%, as reported to the federal power commission for calendar year 1974, or as otherwise determined by the department, shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous monitoring system for the measurement of all of the following: (a) Opacity, if the generator has more than 250,000,000 Btu's per hour heat input, unless gaseous fuel is the only fuel burned, or unless oil or a mixture of gas and oil are the only fuels burned and the source is able to comply with the applicable particulate matter and opacity standards without utilization of particulate matter collection equipment, and where the source has never been found from any administrative or judicial proceedings to be in violation of the applicable visible emission standard.(b) Sulfur dioxide, if the generator has a per hour heat input of more than 250,000,000 Btu's and if sulfur dioxide emission control equipment has been installed.(c) Nitrogen oxides if the generator has a per hour heat input of more than 1,000,000,000 Btu's, is subject to a nitrogen oxides emission standard, and is located in an air quality control region that has been determined by the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency to require a control strategy for nitrogen oxides, unless the owner or operator demonstrates, by source emission compliance tests, that the source emits nitrogen oxides at levels 30% or more below the applicable nitrogen oxide emission standard.(d) Oxygen or carbon dioxide percentage, if measurement of oxygen or carbon dioxide in the flue gas is required to convert either sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides continuous emission monitoring data to units of the applicable emission standard.(2) The owner or operator of any source subject to subrule (1) of this rule shall complete the installation and performance tests of the equipment required by subrule (1) of this rule and shall begin monitoring and recording within 18 months of the effective date of this rule.Mich.
