Oklahoma SIP: OK 252:100-35 Control of Emissions of Carbon Monoxide

Regulatory Text:
SUBCHAPTER 35.  CONTROL OF EMISSION OF CARBON MONOXIDE

(As approved by EPA 11/03/1999 (64 FR 59629) at 52.1920(c)(48) effective 01/03/2000.)

Outline
252:100-35-1.  Purpose
252:100-35-2.  Emission limits
252:100-35-3.  Performance testing


252:100-35-1.  Purpose

     The purpose of this Subchapter is to control emissions of carbon monoxide from stationary sources to prevent the Oklahoma Air Quality Standard from being exceeded and insure that the present level of air quality in Oklahoma is not degraded.

252:100-35-2.  Emission limits

     (a)  Existing sources.  The emission of carbon monoxide from any existing foundry cupola, blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace, catalytic cracking unit, or other petroleum or natural gas process except stationary engines located in, or significantly impacting (i.e., 500 ug/m3 on an 8 hour average) on a nonattainment area for carbon monoxide shall be reduced by use of complete secondary combustion of the waste gas generated.  Removal of 93 percent or more of the carbon monoxide generated shall be considered equivalent to complete secondary combustion.  Existing equipment subject to this Subchapter must meet the emission limitations as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than December 31, 1982.

     (b)  New sources.  The emission of carbon monoxide from any new foundry cupola, blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace, catalytic cracking unit, or other petroleum or natural gas process except stationary engines shall be reduced by use of complete secondary combustion of the waste gas generated.  Removal of 93 percent or more of the carbon monoxide generated shall be considered equivalent to secondary combustion.

252:100-35-3.  Performance testing

     Testing of equipment to determine if emission standards set in this Subchapter are met shall be performed by procedures as accepted by the  Executive Director.  Promulgated federal testing procedures for similar processes will be considered in making the determination of procedures to be used.
