Shasta County Air Quality Management District-CALIFORNIA
DE MINIMIS EXEMPTIONS (Must Meet 1298):
Sources less than 50 hp or operating fewer than 200 hour per year are exempt from permitting.
MINOR SOURCE PERMITTING:
The air district follows CARB's
guidance for permitting of electric generating technologies. This
guidance recommends BACT for all criteria pollutants. Sample BACT for control of NOx from turbines and internal
combustion engines is as follows:
| Size of Unit |
Level of Control (ppm) |
| >3 MW |
9 |
| 3-12 MW simple cycle |
2.5 |
| 3-12 MW combined cycle |
5 |
| 12-50 MW simple cycle |
2.5 |
| 12-50 MW combined cycle |
5 |
| IC Engines |
9 |
Additional limitations may be required by the air district based on any health risks imposed by the project.
The permitting process takes about 60 days and no comment period is required for minor sources.
TREATMENT OF EMERGENCY ENGINES:
Emergency engines must be permitted and will receive a limit of 200 hours per year, but do not have to meet BACT.
These units may only operate during emergencies and for maintenance.
