Code Ann. § 68-201-105. Details regarding the public hearing and comment deadlines are provided in the attached hearing notice.
Tennessee proposes to amend Chapter 1200-03-10 (Required Sampling, Recordkeeping, and Reporting) by modifying subparagraph (1)(b) of Rule 1200-03-10-.02 (Monitoring of Source Emissions, Recording, and Reporting of the Same are Required). The rule change would allow fossil fuel-fired steam generators to install particulate matter continuous emissions monitoring systems (PM CEMS) in lieu of continuous opacity monitoring systems (COMS). The proposed amendment also defines a “fossil fuel-fired steam generator” as a furnace or boiler used in the process of burning fossil fuel for the purpose of producing steam by heat transfer. Tennessee is proposing these changes in response to a petition for rulemaking pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-5-201. "110(I) Demonstration
