Industrial Boiler MACT

Industrial Boiler MACT

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boiler and Process Heaters (Boiler MACT) was finalized on September 13, 2004 (69 FR 55218). This rule affects many industrial owners of boilers and process heaters and in some cases will require installation of air pollution control equipment to comply as well as baseline emission testing during the first quarter of 2005. The rule sets limits on four classes of pollutants: mercury and mercury compounds, metallic HAPs (non-mercury), inorganic HAPs, and organic HAPs.

If this rule applies to you, you may have requirements for periodic performance tests, on-going monitoring and work practices to demonstrate continuous compliance, and/or fuel sampling and analysis. Affected units starting up after 11/12/04 must be in compliance now. All other units must submit their initial notification by 03/12/05 and comply by 09/13/07 according to the following compliance schedule:

Compliance Timetable	Existing Units	New Units after 11/12/04
Initial Notification Submission	3/12/05	15 days of start up
Compliance Date	9/13/07	Upon start up
QA and Performance Test Plan	30 days prior to test	30 days prior to test
Performance Test Deadline	3/11/08	180 days after start up
Notification of Compliance Test Status	60 days after test	60 days after test
First Semiannual Compliance Report	7/31/08	7/31/2005
