(6) "Fourth quarter" means October, November and December.

(7) "Incinerator" means any equipment, machine, device, article, contrivance, structure, or part of a structure used to burn refuse or to process refuse material by burning other than by open burning.

(8) "MM Btu" means millions of British thermal units.

(9) "Natural gas" means a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon gases found in geologic formations beneath the earth's surface, of which the principal constituent is methane.

(10) "Owner or operator" means any person who owns, leases, operates, controls, or supervises a facility, building, structure, or installation which directly or indirectly results or may result in emissions of sulfur dioxide.

(11) "OEPA" means the Ohio environmental protection agency.

(12) "Primary zinc smelter" means any installation engaged in the production of zinc or zinc oxide from zinc sulfide ore concentrates through the use of pyrometallurgical techniques.

(13) "Process" means any source operation including any equipment, devices, or contrivances and all appurtenances thereto, for changing any material whatever or for storage or handling of any material, the use of which may cause the discharge of an air contaminant into the open air, but not including that equipment defined as a fossil fuel fired steam generator.

(14) "Process weight" means the total weight of all materials introduced into the source operation including solid fuels, but excluding gaseous fuels and liquid fuels when they are used solely as fuels and excluding air introduced for the purpose of combustion.

(19) "Stationary internal combustion engine" means a stationary engine in which combustion occurs within one or more cylinders, converting heat energy into mechanical energy, which in turn drives an electric generator or other mechanical equipment.

(20) "Sulfur recovery plant" means any plant that recovers elemental sulfur from any gas stream.

(21) "Sulfuric acid production unit" means any facility producing sulfuric acid by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge.

Emissions shall be calculated for each operating hour by multiplying the heat input times the applicable emission rate in pounds of sulfur dioxide per MM Btu. The emission rate shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (F) of this rule. The average emission rate shall be calculated using the following equation:

where: E_avg is the arithmetic average emissions in pounds per hour.

H_i is the hourly heat input in MM Btu for hour i. H_i is determined by a computerized system, or by monitoring the hourly steam production rate and back-calculating the heat input in accordance with the heat balance method or other approved equivalent method.

ER_i is the emission rate in pounds of sulfur dioxide per MM Btu, determined in accordance with paragraph (F) of this rule. If multiple fuels are used, the emission rate shall be calculated as a weighted average based on the heat input of each fuel burned.

n is the number of operating hours during a period of thirty consecutive operating days. An operating day means a twenty-four-hour period that begins at midnight and ends the following midnight during which any fuel is combusted at any time, except that if the schedule for calculating emission averages is revised, an operating day shall mean a twenty-four-hour period between consecutive scheduled emission average calculations during which any fuel is combusted at any time.

The daily rolling arithmetic average is calculated on a fixed schedule updated at twelve a.m. every operating calendar day unless an alternative fixed daily schedule is approved by the director. The director shall notify the United States environmental protection agency upon the approval of any alternate averaging schedule.

(11) For any fuel burning equipment burning coal at the "Cardinal Power Plant" (OEPA premise number 0641050002) or any subsequent owner or operator of the "Cardinal Power Plant" facility in Brilliant, Ohio, compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions rate specified in paragraph (D)(3) of rule 3745-18-47 of the Administrative Code shall be demonstrated by calculating an average emission rate in pounds per hour over thirty operating days. Emissions shall be calculated for each operating hour for main boiler unit numbers 1, 2 and 3 (OEPA source numbers B001, B002 and B009), combined, as a summation of the emission rates determined in accordance with paragraph (D)(2) of this rule. The permittee may remove values which were substituted for missing data in accordance with 40 CFR Part 75 Subpart D. Compliance with the combined average sulfur dioxide emission rate shall be calculated using the following equation:

where: E_avg is the arithmetic average SO2 emissions in pounds per hour as a rolling, thirty-operating-day average computed at the end of each operating day.

SO_2,B001 = SO₂ emissions from emissions unit B001, in pounds/hr for hour i.

SO_2,B002 = SO₂ emissions from emissions unit B002, in pounds/hr for hour i.

SO_2,B009 = SO₂ emissions from emissions unit B009, in pounds/hr for hour i.

n = number of operating hours in the rolling, thirty-operating-day averaging period, minus the number of operating hours excluded from the calculation due to missing data.

An operating hour is an hour in which any of units B001, B002 or B009 are operating. An operating day is a day in which any of units B001, B002 or B009 are operating for any portion of the day. A value of E_avg shall be computed for each operating day and the twenty-nine preceding operating days.

(E) Unless otherwise specified in this rule, the test methods and procedures used for determining compliance with the allowable emission limit for any fuel burning equipment burning fuels other than coal shall be one of the following:

(1) Stack gas sampling using USEPA methods 1 to 4, and 6, 6A, 6B or 6C, at a frequency to be determined by the director.

(2) Continuous emission monitoring using continuous monitoring systems meeting the requirements of "Performance Specification 2" as specified in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B and the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix F with any necessary modifications approved by the director. Emissions rates shall be determined using methods specified in 40 CFR 60.45 and 40 CFR 60.47a, 40 CFR 60.47b or 40 CFR 60.47c. Compliance with the applicable sulfur dioxide emission limitation shall be based on daily calculations using an arithmetic average of all data available for the preceding thirty-day period.

(3) Fuel sampling and analysis in accordance with USEPA method 19 or the appropriate ASTM methods, or equivalent methods as approved by the director.

(A) No owner or operator of any applicable unit in Summit county, unless otherwise specified in this rule, shall cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack in excess of the rate indicated in the following:

(1) For fossil fuel fired steam generating units with a total rated heat input capacity between ten and three hundred MM Btu per hour, the emission rate in pounds of sulfur dioxide per MM Btu actual heat input shall be calculated in accordance with the following equation:

EL = 17.55 Qm^-0.3933

where:

Qm is the total rated heat input capacity in MM Btu per hour, and

EL is the allowable emission rate in pounds of sulfur dioxide per MM Btu actual heat input.

(2) For fossil fuel-fired steam generating units with a total heat input capacity equal to or greater than three hundred MM Btu per hour, 1.80 pounds of sulfur dioxide per MM Btu actual heat input.

(3) Process equipment, unless otherwise specified in this rule, shall not cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack in excess of 17.0 pounds of sulfur dioxide per ton of actual process weight input.
