     Any sulfuric acid plant that was in being on or before
August 17, 1971 shall comply with the following requirements.
     (1)  Sulfuric acid mist standard. Emissions of sulfuric acid mist
shall not exceed 0.5 pounds per ton of acid produced (250 grams per
metric ton). The acid production shall be expressed as
100% sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
     (2)  Emission monitoring.  The owner or operator shall install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous SO2 emissions monitoring
system for any sulfuric acid plant with a production capacity greater
than 300 tons per day expressed as 100% acid, except where the conversion
of sulfuric acid is utilized to prevent emissions of sulfur dioxide or
other sulfur compounds.
     (3) Installation, calibration, maintenance, and
operation of emission monitoring systems. Required
emission monitoring systems shall be installed, calibrated,
maintained, and operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60,
Appendix B, and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P.

     After May 8, 1989, any kraft pulp mill that
was in being on or before July 1, 1972 shall comply with
the fo11owing requirements.
     (1)  TRS emissions from any recovery furnace shall not exceed
40 ppm, measured as H2S on a dry basis and on a 12-hour average,
converted to eight percent (8%} by volume oxygen.
     (2)  TRS emissions from any lime kiln shall not exceed
40 ppm measured as H2S on a dry basis and on a 12-hour average,
corrected to ten percent (10%) by volume oxygen.

     (3)  TRS emissions from any smelt-dissolving tank
shall not exceed 0.033 pounds TRS per ton (0.016 g TRS/kg} of
black liquor solids, measured as H2S on a 12-hour average.
     (4)  Non-condensable gases from all evaporators and digester
systems shall be efficiently incinerated or otherwise treated to
limit emissions of TRS to less than five (5) ppmv, measured
as H2S at standard conditions on a dry basis.

     Any fossil fuel-fired steam generator unit that was in being
on or before July 1, 1972 shall comply with the following
requirements.
     (1)  Emission monitoring. The owner or operator shall install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous SO2 emissions monitoring
system for any fossil fuel-fired steam generator that utilizes an air
pollution abatement operation to reduce the emissions of sulfur oxides.
Continuous monitoring of oxygen or carbon dioxide is required if it
is necessary to convert SO2 monitoring results.
     (2)  Installation, calibration, maintenance, and
operation of emission monitoring systems. Required
emission monitoring systems shall be installed, calibrated,
maintained, and operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60,
Appendix B, and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P.
