(1) Power generating installationsEnvironmental Protection 101 (a) which are new sources, shall not emit more than 0.80 pounds of sulfur dioxide, maximum two-hour average, per million BTU when the oil is fired; (b) which are existing sources, shall not emit more than 1.0 pound of sulfur dioxide, maximum two-hour average, per million BTU when low sulfur oil is fired; (c) which are existing sources, shall not emit more than 2.2 pounds of sulfur dioxide, maximum two–hour average, per million BTU when high sulfur oil is fired; (d) which are new sources, shall not–emit more than 0.80 pounds of sulfur dioxide, maximum two-hour average, per million BTU heat input when coal is fired; (e) which are existing sources, shall not emit more than 1.0 pound of sulfur dioxide, maximum two-hour average, when coal is fired. (2) Any permit issued for the operation of an existing source or any renewal or modification of such permit shall include a clause indicating that when the conditions justifying the use of high sulfur oil no longer exists the permit shall be modified accordingly. (3) This Regulation applies to an installation operated for the purpose of producing electrical power with a resulting discharge of sulfur dioxide in the installation effluent gases. (4) For the purposes of this regulation– (a) “low sulfur oil” means fuel oil containing less than 0.90 per cent by weight of sulfur; and 102 Environmental Protection (b) “High sulfur oil” means fuel oil containing 0.90 per cent or more by weight of sulfur.
