In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), each annual report must contain the information specified in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section, as appropriate for each soda ash manufacturing facility.
- (a)If a CEMS is used to measure CO2 emissions, then you must report under this subpart the relevant information required under § 98.36 and the following information in this paragraph (a):
- (b)If a CEMS is not used to measure CO2 emissions, then you must report the information listed in this paragraph (b):
- (1)Identification number of each manufacturing line.
- (2)Annual process CO2 emissions from each soda ash manufacturing line (metric tons).
- (3)Annual production of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).
- (4)Annual production capacity of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).
- (5)-(7) [Reserved]
- (8)Whether CO2 emissions for each manufacturing line were calculated using a trona input method as described in Equation CC-1 of this subpart, a soda ash output method as described in Equation CC-2 of this subpart, or a site-specific emission factor method as described in Equations CC-3 through CC-5 of this subpart.
- (9)Number of manufacturing lines located used to produce soda ash.
- (10)If you produce soda ash using the liquid alkaline feedstock process and use the site-specific emission factor method (§ 98.293(b)(3)) to estimate emissions then you must report the following relevant information for each manufacturing line or stack:
- (i)Stack gas volumetric flow rate during performance test (dscfm).
- (ii)Hourly CO2 concentration during performance test (percent CO2).
- (iii)CO2 emission factor (metric tons CO2/metric tons of process vent flow from mine water stripper/evaporator).
- (iv)CO2 mass emission rate during performance test (metric tons/hour).
- (v)Average process vent flow from mine water stripper/evaporator during performance test (pounds/hour).
- (vi)Annual process vent flow rate from mine water stripper/evaporator (thousand pounds/hour).
- (11)Number of times missing data procedures were used and for which parameter as specified in this paragraph (b)(11):
