(f) Simultaneous operation of the Incinerator + HRSG (EPN 13A) and Flare 4 (EPN FLARE 4) during any block one-hour period is prohibited.

(g) Sulfur or sulfur containing compounds may not be routed to Flare 1 (EPN Flare-1), Flare 2 (EPN Flare-2), or Flare 3 (EPN Flare-3) on or after the compliance date in §112.118 of this title (relating to Compliance Schedule).

(h) After construction and commencement of operation, if authorized, Flare 4 (EPN FLARE 4) must have a stack height of 60.35 meters and must be located at Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates UTM East Meters 273185 and UTM North Meters 3573987 in UTM Zone 14.

(i) Incinerator + HRSG (EPN 13A) must have a stack height of 65.00 meters no later than the compliance date in §112.118 of this title (relating to Compliance Schedules).

(j) The owner or operator may request an alternate means of control under the provisions of §112.102(i) of this title (relating to Control Requirements).
