Title 40 - Protection of Environment last revised: Nov 08, 2025
§ 62.14610a - What if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limitations?

If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet scrubber, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, fabric filter, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber or limit emissions in some other manner, including mass balances, to comply with the emission limitations under § 62.14600a, you must petition the EPA Administrator for specific operating limits to be established during the initial performance test and continuously monitored thereafter. You must submit the petition at least sixty days before the performance test is scheduled to begin. Your petition must include the five items listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section.

(a) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as additional operating limits.

(b) A discussion of the relationship between the parameters required by paragrpah (a) of this seciton and emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of regulated pollutants change with changes in the parameters, and how limits on the parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated pollutants.

(c) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower values for the parameters required by paragraph (a) of this section that will establish the operating limits on the parameters.

(d) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure and the instruments you will use to monitor the parameters required by paragraph (a) of this section, as well as the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and instruments.

(e) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring the parameters required by paragraph (a) of this section.
