Nonroad and Marine Engines

˃ Not subject to IIII, JJJJ, & ZZZZ ˃ Marine ICE…an integral part of a marine vessel ˃ Nonroad (or “Non-road”) engine means any ICE

that is in or on a piece of equipment that is…

 self-propelled (may serve other purposes too); or  propelled while performing its function; or  portable or transportable

♦ Designed to be moved, e.g., on wheels or skids, etc. ♦ And actually is moved routinely ♦ Portability is moot if it remains [in service] at a location

(building, structure, facility, or installation)…

– for more than 12 months…or… – for seasonal sources, for the entire season (3 months or more) for at least 2 years 1068.30, 89.2, 90, 91, 94, 1039, 1042, 1045, 1048, 1054

“Mobile” = Onroad + Nonroad + Marine

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Temporary Exemption –Two Big Caveats

  • 1. Replacing one temporary engine with

another to be used for the same purpose does not restart the 12-month clock

The 12-mont h clock applies t o t he locat ion and purpose, not a part icular engine

  • 2. An engine to be used temporarily in place of

a stationary engine (e.g., while it is being

  • verhauled) is considered a stationary engine

The locat ion and purpose is st at ionary even if it consist s of more t han one engine over t ime

Work Practice Standards

˃ Minimize startup and idling time (30

minutes)

 Startup means the time from initial start

until applied load and engine and associated equipment (including catalyst) reaches steady state or normal operation

 How do you demonstrate compliance?

♦ Log startups, durations? ♦ Point to startup procedure?

63.6625 & 6640

slide-38
SLIDE 38

˃ Develop and follow maintenance plan

 Or manufacturer’s emissions-related instructions

˃ Oil & filter changes on specified frequencies

 Generally, 4320 hrs for 2S; 1440 for 4S; 1000 hrs for

CI, and 500 hrs for emergency RICE

 Optional oil analysis program

˃ Inspections of spark plugs, belts, and hoses on

specified frequencies

 Generally, 4320 hrs for 2S; 1440 for 4S; 500 hrs for

CI, and 500 or 1000 hrs for emergency RICE ˃ Maintenance documentation will be key

Tables 1 – 4, 63.6625(e)

Maintenance As Work Practice

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Oil Analysis Program

Parameter Condemning Limits Total Base Number (TBN) – CI < 30% of new oil Total Acid Number (TAN) – SI Increases by more than 3.0 mg of potassium hydroxide per gram from TAN of new oil Viscosity Changed by more than 20% from the viscosity of new oil % Water Content by Volume > 0.5 %

˃ Oil analysis must be performed at same frequency

specified for oil changes

˃ If condemned, change oil within 2 business days ˃ Must keep records of the analysis

˃

You can petition EPA for use of alternative parameters

˃

But these are fairly generous already

int errupt ions

 Pumping water for fire suppression or flood

control

˃ Operational limitations in 63.6640(f)

During voltage or frequency deviations of ≥ 5%

˃ 50 hrs/yr* of the 100 hrs/yr* can be used for…

Any situation as long as there is no financial arrangement

non-resettable (unofficial determination)

˃ Reporting for emergency RICE > 100 HP if…

 Operated or contractually obligated to be available >

15 hours per year in emergency demand response

 Operated for periods where there is deviation of

voltage or frequency ≥ 5%

Ohio Permitting

˃ Agency: Ohio EPA ˃ Emergency generators ≤ 50 hp that burn

gasoline, natural gas, distillate oil, or liquid petroleum gas and that, as applicable, comply with NSPS IIII/JJJJ and RICE MACT are exempt from permitting [OAC 3745-31-03(B)(1)(oo)]

˃ “Emergency engine” definition includes

emergency DR

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Permit-by-Rule

˃ PBR for Emergency Engines > 50 hp

Limited to 500 hours per rolling 12-month period

Use for non-emergency DR prohibited

Fire only gasoline, natural gas, distillate oil, or liquid petroleum gas and that, as applicable, comply with NSPS IIII/JJJJ and RICE MACT

Maintain following records:

♦ Monthly records that contain rolling 12-month

summation of operating hours

♦ Records that show type of fuel used ♦ Records of the total time operated in emergency

situations

One-time notification using OEPA Form for Emergency Generator/Pump/Compression is required to be submitted to local Ohio EPA office

♦ No fee, no expiration

slide-48
SLIDE 48

Permit-to-Install/Operate (PTIO)

˃ Engines >50 hp and can’t qualify for PBR or

de minimis exemptions

˃ Source with PTE <10 lbs/day of an air pollutant may

qualify for a de minimis exemption per OAC 3745-15- 05(D) if records maintained to demonstrate that actual emissions do not exceed 10 lbs/day and other

de minimis criteria are met

˃ PTIO application requires PFD, emission

documentation, regulatory applicability, Best Available Technology (BAT) review, air dispersion modeling (if necessary), and appropriate application forms

˃ Typical agency review time: 4-6 months

OEPA NOX RACT Requirements

˃ Applies to

 Existing stationary ICE located in Ashtabula,

Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or Summit County.

 New stationary ICE located anywhere in

Ohio.

Impact of Federal Rule 100-Hour Vacatur

˃ Ohio EPA has indicated they will update

regulations to be consistent with federal rules, but timing unknown

˃ September 2016 meeting w/ CPower

 State definition of emergency engine still

includes emergency DR despite federal vacatur

 Engines may be non-emergency in a federal

context but would still be emergency engines in the State of Ohio

 Such engines remain eligible for PBR coverage

slide-51
SLIDE 51

˃

Emergency DR Participation?

May participate as long as comply with PBR provisions

This would change if OEPA revises the state definition of “emergency engine” to exclude emergency DR

˃

Economic DR Participation?
