Sec. 60.40Da Applicability and designation of affected facility.
(a) Except as specified in paragraph (e) of this section, the
affected facility to which this subpart applies is each electric utility
steam generating unit:
(1) That is capable of combusting more than 73 megawatts (MW) (250
million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr)) heat input of fossil
fuel (either alone or in combination with any other fuel); and
(2) For which construction, modification, or reconstruction is
commenced after September 18, 1978.
(b) An IGCC electric utility steam generating unit (both the
stationary combustion turbine and any associated duct burners) is
subject to this part and is not subject to subpart GG or KKKK of this
part if both of the conditions specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section are met.
(1) The IGCC electric utility steam generating unit is capable of
combusting more than 73 MW (250 MMBtu/hr) heat input of fossil fuel
(either alone or in combination with any other fuel); and
(2) The IGCC electric utility steam generating unit commenced
construction, modification, or reconstruction after February 28, 2005.
(c) Any change to an existing fossil-fuel-fired steam generating
unit to accommodate the use of combustible materials, other than fossil
fuels, shall not bring that unit under the applicability of this
subpart.
(d) Any change to an existing steam generating unit originally
designed to fire gaseous or liquid fossil fuels, to accommodate the use
of any other fuel (fossil or nonfossil) shall not bring that unit under
the applicability of this subpart.
(e) Applicability of the requirement of this subpart to an electric
utility combined cycle gas turbine other than an IGCC electric utility
steam generating unit is as specified in paragraphs (e)(1) and (2) of
this section.
(1) Heat recovery steam generators used with duct burners and
associated with an electric utility combined cycle gas turbine that are
capable of combusting more than 73 MW (250 MMBtu/hr) heat input of
fossil fuel are subject to this subpart except in cases when
[[Page 150]]
the heat recovery steam generator meets the applicability requirements
and is subject to subpart KKKK of this part.
(2) For heat recovery steam generators use with duct burners subject
to this subpart, only emissions resulting from the combustion of fuels
in the steam generating unit (i.e. duct burners) are subject to the
standards under this subpart. (The emissions resulting from the
combustion of fuels in the stationary combustion turbine engine are
subject to subpart GG or KKK, as applicable, of this part).
