- 1. RICE NESHAP- The Costly Consequence of Compliance A Guide on the RICE NESHAP Regulation February 26, 2013
- 2. Agenda • History and Regulatory Amendments • Applicability • Exemp=ons • Regulatory Requirements • What does it mean? • Compliance Impacts and Op=ons • Case Study • Next Steps
- 3. About BlueScape • 16 years experience, full service environmental firm • Permits, air modeling, compliance for many industries – power genera=on, u=lity, refinery, oil & gas, manufacturing and data centers • Na=onal Experience • Solve tough air quality compliance issues: -‐ Determining rule applicability -‐ Assess how to reduce impacts, change status -‐ Develop monitoring, recordkeeping and repor=ng protocols -‐ Agency nego=a=ons
- 4. RICE NESHAP Introduc=on • Na=onal Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciproca=ng Internal Combus=on Engines • Regula=on 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ • Exis=ng CI RICE must be in compliance by May 3, 2013 – Except emergency CI > 500 hp at major sources • Exis=ng SI RICE must be in compliance by October 19, 2013
- 5. Rule History • 2002 – EPA issued proposed rule, to reflect Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) • 2004 – Exis=ng, new and reconstructed sta=onary RICE > 500 hp @ major sources • 2008 – New and reconstructed sta=onary RICE < 500 hp @ major sources and new sta=onary RICE @ area sources • 2010 – Exis=ng sta=onary RICE < 500 hp, non-‐emergency CI > 500 hp @ major sources, exis=ng sta=onary RICE @ area sources
- 6. Regulatory Amendments • Sta=onary SI Engines > 500 hp @ Area Source – Cataly=c controls for engines located in populated areas – Management prac=ces for engines located in remote areas • Alterna=ve compliance for formaldehyde emissions for exis=ng & new 4SRB non-‐ emergency > 500 hp @ major source – 76% reduc=on of formaldehyde – 30% reduc=on of total hydrocarbon emissions
