The equation for calculating the rolling 30-day average emission cap in pounds per day for all emission units included in the source cap

Where:

Cap30day        =          the NOX 30-day rolling average emission cap in pounds per day;

i                 =          each emission unit in the emission cap;

N               =          the total number of emission units in the emission cap;

Hi                   =          for compliance with §117.305(a) – (d) of this title.  The actual historical average of the daily heat input for each unit included in the source cap, in million British thermal units per day (MMBtu per day), as certified to the executive director, for a 24 consecutive month period between January 1, 1990, and June 9, 1993, plus one standard deviation of the average daily heat input for that period.  All sources included in the source cap must use the same 24 consecutive month period.  If sufficient historical data are not available for this calculation, the executive director may approve another method for calculating Hi; and

Ri                    =          for compliance with §117.305(a) – (d) of this title:

                                          (i)  for emission units subject to the federal New Source Review requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §§51.165(a), 51.166, or 52.21, or to the requirements of Chapter 116 of this title (relating to Control of Air Pollution by Permits for New Construction or Modification) that implement these federal requirements, or emission units that have been subject to a New Source Performance Standard requirement of 40 CFR Part 60 prior to June 9, 1993, Ri is the lowest of the actual emission rate or all applicable federally enforceable emission limitations as of June 9, 1993, in pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu), that apply to emission unit i in the absence of trading.  All calculations of emission rates must presume that emission controls in effect on June 9, 1993, are in effect for the two-year period used in calculating the actual heat input; and

(ii)  for all other emission units, Ri is the lowest of the reasonably available control technology (RACT) limit of §117.305(b) - (d) or §117.315(f) of this title or the best available control technology NOX limit for any unit subject to a permit issued in accordance with Chapter 116 of this title, in lb/MMBtu, that applies to emission unit i in the absence of trading.
