Proposed Amended Rules 1146 - Emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen from Industrial, Institutional, and Commercial Boilers, Steam Generators, and Process Heaters; 114

Description

Note: Draft Subsequent Environmental Assessment; Reference SCH # 2016071006, 2008011127, & 2008071014 Proposed Amended Rules 1146, 1146.1, and 1146.2 (referred to herein as PARs 1146 series) would: 1) expand the applicability to include units at NOx RECLAIM facilities; 2) require RECLAIM facilities to submit a permit application for each unit that does not currently meet the NOx concentration limits in Rules 1146 and 1146.1; 3) extend the compliance date for RECLAIM facilities replacing Rule 1146 or 1146.1 units and require a permit application submittal for unit(s) being replace; 4) require RECLAIM facilities with Rule 1146.2 units to meet applicable NOx emission limits by December 31, 2023, unless a more stringent BARCT limit is subsequently adopted; 5) limit ammonia emissions on units with applicable air pollution control equipment and require annual ammonia source testing; and 6) require certain units at non-RECLAIM facilities to meet new NOx emission limits according to the compliance schedules specified in Rules 1146 and 1146.1. PR 1100 is an administrative rule which establishes the compliance schedule for RECLAIM facilities with Rule 1146 and/or 1146.1 units. The proposed project is estimated to reduce NOx emissions by 0.27 ton per day by January 1, 2023. The Revised Draft SEA identifies potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to air quality during construction and hazards and hazardous materials during operation. Some sites affected by the proposed project may identified on lists compiled by the DTSC per Government Code section 65962.5.
