Controlling Emissions from Major Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Combustion Sources
This page discusses, and links to documents regarding, 30 TAC Chapter 117 rules for the control of emissions from source categories at major stationary industrial, commercial, and institutional sources in ozone nonattainment areas.
Background
Area(s) affected: BPA, HGB, DFW
Source type: Point Source
Emission(s) targeted: Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Rule/Citation: 30 TAC 117 Subchapter B, Divisions 1–4 
Description:
These rules are part of the SIP and are intended to reduce emissions of NOx. The rules apply to sites that are considered major stationary sources of NOx as defined in 30 TAC 117.10(29). The specific source categories that the rules apply to are listed in the applicability section of each rule. Each division applies to a specific ozone nonattainment area, as follows:
- Division 1: BPA Ozone nonattainment area
- Division 2: DFW ozone nonattainment area (Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant counties)
- Division 3: HGB ozone nonattainment area
- Division 4: DFW eight-hour ozone nonattainment area (Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall and Tarrant counties)
For a detailed list of NOx limits for industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers, please see Chapter 117 NOx Control Guidance Methods.
It is important to note that, if a site is in HGB, it may be subject to the Mass Emissions Cap and Trade Program (MECT). If the site meets MECT applicability, as defined in 30 TAC 101.351, the compliance mechanism for the Chapter 117 emission specifications would be mandatory participation in MECT.
