III. PROCESS/OPERATIONAL RESTRICTION(S)

For MAJOR SOURCES use the following:

1.	The permittee must comply with the requirements in Item 6 of Table 2c of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ which apply to each engine in FG{ID} as specified in the following:

Change oil and filter every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, except as allowed in SC III.2;

Inspect spark plugs every 1,000 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary; and

Inspect all hoses and belts every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary.

If the emergency engine is being operated during an emergency and it is not possible to shut down the engine to perform the management practice requirements on the schedule required, or if performing the management practice on the required schedule would otherwise pose an unacceptable risk under federal, state, or local law, the management practice standard can be delayed until the emergency is over or the unacceptable risk under federal, state, or local law has abated. The management practice should be performed as soon as practicable after the emergency has ended or the unacceptable risk under Federal, State or local law has been abated. Sources must report any failure to perform the management practice on the schedule required and the Federal, State or local law under which the risk was deemed unacceptable. (40 CFR 63.6602, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, Table 2c.6)

OR

For AREA SOURCES use the following:

1.	The permittee must comply with the requirements in Item 5 of Table 2d of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ which apply to each engine in FG{ID} as specified in the following:

Inspect spark plugs every 1,000 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary; and

Inspect all hoses and belts every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary.

If the emergency engine is being operated during an emergency and it is not possible to shut down the engine to perform the management practice requirements on the schedule required, or if performing the management practice on the required schedule would otherwise pose an unacceptable risk under federal, state, or local law, the management practice standard can be delayed until the emergency is over or the unacceptable risk under federal, state, or local law has abated. The management practice should be performed as soon as practicable after the emergency has ended or the unacceptable risk under Federal, State or local law has been abated. Sources must report any failure to perform the management practice on the schedule required and the Federal, State or local law under which the risk was deemed unacceptable. (40 CFR 63.6603(a), 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, Table 2d.5)

2.	The permittee may utilize an oil analysis program in order to extend the specified oil change requirement in SC lll.1. The oil analysis must be performed at the same frequency specified for changing the oil in SC lll.1. (40 CFR 63.6625(j))

The permittee may petition the Department for approval of additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance and testing of emergency internal combustion engines beyond 100 hours per calendar year. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2))

For MAJOR SOURCES use the following:

6.	Each engine in FG{ID} may be operated for up to 50 hours per calendar year in non-emergency situations. The 50 hours of operation in non-emergency situations are counted towards the 100 hours per calendar year provided for maintenance and testing as provided in SC lll.5. The 50 hours per calendar year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or non-emergency demand response, or to generate income for the permittee to supply power to an electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(3))

The dispatch is intended to mitigate local transmission and/or distribution limitations to avert potential voltage collapse or line overloads that could lead to the interruption of power supply in a local area or region. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(4)(ii)(B))

The dispatch follows reliability, emergency operation or similar protocols that follow specific NERC, regional, state, public utility commission or local standards or guidelines. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(4)(ii)(C))

The power is provided only to the facility itself or to support the local transmission and distribution system. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(4)(ii)(D))

The permittee identifies and records the entity that dispatches the engine and the specific NERC, regional, state, public utility commission or local standards or guidelines that are being followed for dispatching the engine. The local balancing authority or local transmission and distribution system operator may keep these records on behalf of the engine owner or operator. (40 CFR 63.6640(f)(4)(ii)(E))

If using the oil analysis program, the permittee must at a minimum analyze the following three parameters: Total Acid Number, viscosity, and percent water content. The condemning limits for these parameters are as follows: Total Acid Number increases by more than 3.0 milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) per gram from Total Acid Number of the oil when new; viscosity of the oil has changed by more than 20 percent from the viscosity of the oil when new; or percent water content (by volume) is greater than 0.5. If all of these condemning limits are not exceeded, the engine owner or operator is not required to change the oil. If any of the limits are exceeded, the permittee must change the oil within 2 business days of receiving the results of the analysis; if the engine is not in operation when the results of the analysis are received, the permittee must change the oil within 2 business days or before commencing operation, whichever is later. The permittee must keep records of the parameters that are analyzed as part of the program, the results of the analysis, and the oil changes for the engine. The analysis program must be part of the maintenance plan for the engine. (40 CFR 63.6625(j))
