(a)If your turbine is located in a continental area, you must comply with either paragraph (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section. If your turbine is located in Alaska, you do not have to comply with the requirements in paragraph
(a)of this section until January 1, 2008.
(1)You must not cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from the subject stationary combustion turbine any gases which contain SO2 in excess of 110 nanograms per Joule (ng/J) (0.90 pounds per megawatt-hour (lb/MWh)) gross output;
(2)You must not burn in the subject stationary combustion turbine any fuel which contains total potential sulfur emissions in excess of 26 ng SO2/J (0.060 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input. If your turbine simultaneously fires multiple fuels, each fuel must meet this requirement; or
(3)For each stationary combustion turbine burning 50 percent or more biogas and/or low-Btu gas on a calendar month basis, as determined based on total heat input, you must not cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from the affected source any gases that contain SO2 in excess of:
(i)650 milligrams of sulfur per standard cubic meter (mg/scm) (28 grains
(gr)of sulfur per 100 standard cubic feet (scf)); or
(ii)65 ng SO2/J (0.15 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input.
(b)If your turbine is located in a noncontinental area or a continental area that the Administrator determines does not have access to natural gas and that the removal of sulfur compounds would cause more environmental harm than benefit, you must comply with one or the other of the following conditions:
(1)You must not cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from the subject stationary combustion turbine any gases which contain SO2 in excess of 780 ng/J (6.2 lb/MWh) gross output, or
(2)You must not burn in the subject stationary combustion turbine any fuel which contains total sulfur with potential sulfur emissions in excess of 180 ng SO2/J (0.42 lb SO2/MMBtu) heat input. If your turbine simultaneously fires multiple fuels, each fuel must meet this requirement.
(c)A stationary combustion turbine subject to either subpart J or Ja of this part is not subject to the SO2 performance standards in this subpart. [71 FR 38497, July 6, 2006, as amended at 74 FR 11861, Mar. 20, 2009; 91 FR 1979, Jan. 15, 2026]
