Cite as Ind. Admin. Code tit. 326, r. 10-7-4
Sec. 4. (a) Owners or operators of small boilers shall:
(1) annually perform a tune-up; and
(2) maintain a logbook in a format approved by the department that includes the following information:
(A) The date of the last tune-up.
(B) The name, title, and affiliation of the person who performed the tune-up and made any adjustments.
(C) Any other information which the department may require as a condition of approval of any permit for the boiler.
(b) Owners or operators of mid-size, large, and very large boilers shall not emit NOx in excess of the following:
(1) 0.08 lb/mmBtu for gas-only fueled boilers.
(2) 0.10 lb/mmBtu for distillate oil fueled boilers.
(3) 0.20 lb/mmBtu for residual oil fueled boilers.
(c) Unless a more stringent limit is included in a permit, owners or operators of stationary combustion turbines for mechanical drive and electrical generation shall not emit NOx in excess of the following:
