DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
AIR QUALITY DIVISION
PART 11. CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING
(By authority conferred on the director of the department of environmental quality by
sections 5503 and 5512 of 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.5503 and 324.5512, and Executive
Reorganization Order No. 1995-18, MCL 324.99903)
R 336.2101 Continuous emission monitoring, fossil fuel-fired steam generators.
Rule 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 demon-strates, 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.
History: 1980 AACS; 2002 AACS.
R 336.2102 Continuous emission monitoring; sulfuric acid-producing facilities.
Rule 1102. (1) Except as provided in R 336.2199, the owner or operator of any sulfuric
acid plant having a production capacity of more than 300 tons per day, the production
capacity being expressed as 100% acid, shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a
