iii. ammonia slip shall be measured with Bay Area Air Quality Management District Source Test Procedure ST-1B, Ammonia Integrated Sampling, dated January 1982, or other equivalent district approved test method.
b. the duration of the emission test shall be sufficient to document the typical operation of the portable diesel-fueled engine(s); and
c. testing shall be performed at the frequency required by the permit or registration. In no event shall the time between emission tests exceed three years.
(7) Beginning on January 1, 2013, the weighted average PM emission rate for the fleet cannot exceed the fleet standard that is in effect. Changes in the fleet, including portable engine additions and deletions, shall not result in noncompliance with this standard.
(d) Fleet Average Calculations
(1) General Provisions
(A) The average PM emission factor for the fleet is determined by the following formula:
Summation for each portable engine in the fleet (bhp x emission factor)
Summation for each portable engine in the fleet (bhp)
where: bhp = maximum rated horsepower. emission = diesel PM emission rate, as determined below: factor
(B) The following diesel PM emission rates shall be used with the above formula to determine the weighted average fleet emission rate:
1. for portable diesel-fueled engines certified to a nonroad engine standard, the results of emission measurements submitted to either the U. S. EPA or CARB for the purposes of satisfying the appropriate emission standard; or
2. results from emission measurements from a verified emission control strategy may be used in conjunction with engine emission information; or
3. for portable diesel-fueled engine(s) equipped with SCR system(s), results from valid emission tests.
(2) The following incentives may be used to revise the fleet average, as outlined below:
(A) Where equipment uses grid power for more than 200 hours in lieu of operating a portable diesel-fueled engine for a given project, the time period grid power is used may be used to reduce each affected engine's emission factor. The emission factor for each affected portable engine will be reduced proportionally by the percentage of time the equipment uses grid power. To receive credit for grid power in the fleet calculation, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in section 93116.4(c)(3) shall be satisfied.
(B) Alternative-fueled portable engines
1. Alternative-fueled portable engines operating 100 or more hours may be included toward determining compliance with the applicable fleet emission standards. A diesel PM emission rate of zero shall be used in the fleet calculations for these engines.
2. Alternative-fueled portable engines operating 100 or more hours per calendar year and added to a fleet prior to January 1, 2009, may be counted twice in the company's fleet average determination toward compliance with the 2013 and 2017 fleet emission standards. The alternative-fueled engine shall be certified to meet a federal or California standard for newly manufactured nonroad engines pursuant to 40 CFR Part 89 or Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations.
(C) Portable diesel-fueled engines certified to Tier 4 nonroad engine standards that are added to a fleet prior to January 1, 2015, may be counted twice in the company's fleet average determination toward compliance with the 2013 and 2017 fleet emission standards.
_________
[FN1] Tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 refer to nonroad engine emission standards promulgated by ARB and U.S. EPA for newly manufactured engines pursuant to 40 CFR Part 89 or Title 13 of the California Code of Regulation. Each successive Tier represents more stringent emission standards and the requirements are phased-in over time with the Tier 1 engine standards becoming effective for some engines manufactured in 1996 and becoming effective for all engines by 2000. Tier 2 engine standards are phased in for engines manufactured beginning in 2001 and becomes effective for all engines by 2006. Similarly, Tier 3 engines are phased in for engines manufactured beginning in 2006, and Tier 4 engines are phased in for engines manufactured beginning in 2011.
