Code of Federal Regulations Title 40. Protection of Environment § 40.75.37 Missing data procedures for moisture

Current as of January 02, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The owner or operator of a unit with a continuous moisture monitoring system shall substitute for missing moisture data using the procedures of this section.

(b) Where no prior quality-assured moisture data exist, substitute the minimum potential moisture percentage, from section 2.1.5 of appendix A to this part, except when Equation 19–3, 19–4 or 19–8 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter is used to determine NOX emission rate. If Equation 19–3, 19–4 or 19–8 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter is used to determine NOX emission rate, substitute the maximum potential moisture percentage, as specified in section 2.1.6 of appendix A to this part.

(c) During the first 720 quality-assured monitor operating hours following initial certification at a particular unit or stack location (i.e., the date and time at which quality-assured data begins to be recorded by a moisture monitoring system at that location), the owner or operator shall provide substitute data for moisture according to § 75.31(b).

(d) Upon completion of the first 720 quality-assured monitor operating hours following initial certification, the owner or operator shall provide substitute data for moisture as follows:

(1) Unless Equation 19–3, 19–4 or 19–8 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter is used to determine NOX emission rate, follow the missing data procedures in § 75.33(b), except that the term “moisture percentage” shall apply rather than “SO2 concentration;”  the term “moisture monitoring system” shall apply rather than the term “SO2 pollutant concentration monitor;”  the term “substitute the lesser of” shall apply rather than “substitute the greater of;”  the terms “minimum hourly moisture percentage” and “minimum potential moisture percentage, as determined under section 2.1.5 of appendix A to this part” shall apply rather than, respectively, the terms “maximum hourly SO2 concentration” and “maximum potential SO2 concentration, as determined under section 2.1.1.1 of appendix A to this part;”  and the terms “10th percentile” and “5th percentile” shall apply rather than, respectively, the terms “90th percentile” and “95th percentile” (see Table 1 of § 75.33).

(2) When Equation 19–3, 19–4 or 19–8 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter is used to determine NOX emission rate:

(i) Provided that none of the following equations is used to determine SO2 emissions, CO2 emissions or heat input:  Equation F–2, F–14b, F–16, F–17, or F–18 in appendix F to this part, or Equation 19–5 or 19–9 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter, use the missing data procedures in § 75.33(b), except that the term “moisture percentage” shall apply rather than “SO2 concentration,” the term “moisture monitoring system” shall apply rather than “SO2 pollutant concentration monitor,” and the term “maximum potential moisture percentage, as defined in section 2.1.6 of appendix A to this part” shall apply, rather than “maximum potential SO2 concentration;”  or

(ii) If any of the following equations is used to determine SO2 emissions, CO2 emissions or heat input:  Equation F–2, F–14b, F–16, F–17, or F–18 in appendix F to this part, or Equation 19–5 or 19–9 in Method 19 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter, the owner or operator shall petition the Administrator under § 75.66(l) for permission to use an alternative moisture missing data procedure.
