On Thursday, April 15, 2010, the Industrial Boiler MACT along with the Area Source MACT and CISWI Fuel Definitions are due to be proposed for a second time. The current EPA Schedule has a Final Rule to be issued on December 16, 2010. As MACT Rules go, that means compliance for existing sources by December 16, 2013. New Sources must comply with the Proposed Rule as of April 15th. In the event the December 16 day is extended, States may have to do 112j Case-by-Case MACT Determinations using the Proposed Rule as guidance. How do you comply with or without a Health Based Compliance Alternative (HBCA) or other flexibility, if not in the proposed rules, or if your base fuel is now classified as a waste? The re-proposal of a Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) or Multi-emissions (3P) legislation with an industrial component for NOx and SOx reductions is also possible this year to add complications to our dilemma.
Understanding the current situation; the potential rules and regulations and their timing; the applicability, operation capabilities, and limitations of control technologies; and, the alternatives compliance possibilities is imperative especially in this time of economic uncertainty. This conference will focus on ICI boilers' energy generation systems and include owners', manufacturers' and suppliers' and NGO and regulators' only forums to help generate valuable discussion between the groups and a truly beneficial conference for everyone. With what and when do you have to comply? How do you continue to survive and take advantage of alternative fuels today and tomorrow? What are the control alternatives and possibilities with existing energy systems?
