For a source that has CEMS for other pollutants, but not for CO2 mass measurement, and is required to use Tier 4, when must the monitors be installed and certified?
A Tier 4 unit is required to report CO2 mass emissions beginning on January 1, 2010, if all of the monitors needed to measure CO2 mass emissions have been installed and certified by that date. If all of the monitors needed to measure CO2 mass emissions have not been installed and certified by January 1, 2010, the unit is required to report CO2 mass emissions using Tier 4 no later than January 1, 2011 and use Tier 2 or Tier 3 to report emissions for 2010. If your facility meets the applicability requirements of 98.3(d)(3), you may submit an abbreviated report in 2011, for your 2010 emissions. If your facility qualifies to use the abbreviated report, you may use any Tier for quantifying emissions from stationary combustion in 2010. EPA does accept thermal flow meters for measuring volumetric flow rate of LFGs? Thermal mass flow meters may be used to comply with the monitoring requirements of the rule provided they meet the accuracy requirements under section 98.3(i). Calibration should b
