A determination of non-compliance based on any subsection of this Section shall not be
refuted by evidence of compliance with any other subsection.
a)
Sulfur Dioxide Measurement. Measurement of sulfur dioxide emissions
from stationary sources shall be made according to an applicable method
specified in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 6, 6A, 6B, or 6C,
incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(a), or by measurement
procedures established pursuant to 40 CFR 60.8(b), incorporated by

c)
Solid Fuel Averaging Measurement Daily Analysis Method. This
subsection applies to sources at plants with total solid fuel-fired heat input
capacity exceeding 439.5 MW (1500 million Btu/hr). If daily fuel analysis
is used to demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections
214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a) 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421, the sulfur
dioxide emission rate to be compared to the emission limit shall be
considered to be the result of averaging daily samples taken over any
consecutive two-month period provided no more than 5 percent of the
sample values are greater than 20 percent above the sample average. If
samples from a source cannot meet this statistical criterion, each
individual daily sample analysis for such source shall be compared to the
source's emission limit to determine compliance. The specific ASTM

plants shall demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections
214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 by either an
analysis of calendar weekly composites of daily fuel samples or by
compliance with subsection (c) above, at the option of the plant. The
specific ASTM procedures incorporated by reference in Section
214.104(c), shall be used for sulfur and heating value determinations.
e)
Monthly Analysis Method. This subsection applies to sources at plants
with total fuel-fired heat input capacity exceeding 14.65 MW (50 millions
Btu/hr) but not exceeding 146.5 MW (500 million Btu/hr). These plants
shall demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections 214.122,
214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 by either an analysis
of calendar monthly composites of daily fuel samples or by compliance
with subsection (c) above, at the option of the plant. ASTM procedures
incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(c), shall be used for sulfur
and heating value determinations.
f)
Small Source Alternative Method. This subsection applies to sources at
plants with total solid fuel-fired heat input capacity not exceeding 14.65
MW (50 million Btu/hr). Compliance or non-compliance with Sections
214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 shall be

g)
Exemptions. Subsections (c) through (f) shall not apply to sources
controlling sulfur dioxide emissions by flue gas desulfurization equipment
or by sorbent injection.

Section 214.185 Alternative Emission Rate
Any owner or operator of a fuel combustion emission source may petition the Board for
approval of an emission rate applicable to any one hour period for all fuel combustion
emission sources owned or operated by such person and located within a one mile (1.6
km) radius from the center point of any such fuel combustion emission source. Such
person shall prove in an adjudicative hearing before the Board that the proposed emission
rate will not under any forseeable operating conditions and potential meteorological
conditions cause or contribute to a violation of any applicable primary or secondary
sulfur dioxide ambient air quality standard or violate any applicable prevention of
significant deterioration (PSD) increment. An emission rate approved pursuant to this
Section shall be a substitute for that standard determined by Section 214.183 or 214.184.
a)
Every owner or operator of a fuel combustion emission source petitioning
the Board for approval of an emission standard pursuant to this Section
shall follow the applicable procedures described in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
Subtitle A, Chapter I.
b)
Any emission standard approved pursuant to this Section shall be included
as a condition to operating permits issued pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201. Any owner or operator of a fuel combustion emission source who
receives Board approval of an emission standard pursuant to this Section
shall apply to the Illinois Environmental Agency (Agency) within 30 days
of approval of such standard for a revision of its operating permit for such
source.
c)
The Agency shall impose as a condition to a permit to operate a source
pursuant to an emission standard approved pursuant to this Section an
ambient sulfur dioxide monitoring and dispersion modeling program
designed to verify that such emission standard will not cause or contribute
to violations of any applicable primary or secondary sulfur dioxide
ambient air quality standard. Such ambient monitoring and dispersion
modeling program shall be operated for at least one year commencing no
later than 6 months after the date of approval of an emission rate pursuant
to this Section.
d)
No more than 15 months after the commencement of the ambient
monitoring and dispersion modeling program of subsection (c) the owner
or operator shall apply for a new operating permit. The owner or operator
shall submit, at the time of the application, a report containing the results
of the ambient monitoring and dispersion modeling program.

emission limitation is determined by Section 214.142, 214.183 or 214.184 shall cause or
allow the total emissions of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere from all fuel combustion
emission sources owned or operated by such person and located within 1 mile radius (1.6
km) from the center point of any such fuel combustion source to exceed the level of
sulfur dioxide emission allowed under the previous Rule 204 (effective April 14, 1972
until December 14, 1978) without first obtaining a new operating permit from the
Agency. The application for a new operating permit shall include a demonstration that
such total emissions will not violate any applicable PSD increment.

Method used to Determine Average Actual Stack Height and
Effective Height of Effluent Release
Q
H
= Heat emission rate (in btu/sec or Kcal/sec) as determined by method outlined
below.
∆H
=
Plume rise (in feet or meters).
H =
Physical height (in feet or meters) above grade of each stack, except that for
purposes of this calculation the value used for such stack height shall not exceed
good engineering practice as defined by Section 123 of the Clean Air Act and
Regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the owner or operator of the source
demonstrates to the Agency that a greater height is necessary to prevent
downwash or fumigation conditions.
T =
Exit temperature of stack gases (in degrees Rankine or
degrees Kelvin) from each source during operating
conditions which would cause maximum emissions.
V =
Exit velocity of stack gases (in feet/sec or meters/sec) from each
source under operating conditions which would cause maximum
emissions.
D = Diameter of stack (in feet or meters).
P =
Percentage of total emissions expressed as decimal equivalents emitted from each
source. (Example: 21% = 0.21.) NOTE: The sum of P

emission values to be used are those which occur during operating conditions
which would cause maximum emissions.
