furnace, lime kiln, and digester contained within the plant. Sources such as the electric utilities or municipal waste combustors may have multiple boilers or combustors, all of which may require monitoring.
Note that most of the “effective dates” are old, and one might consider that “new” sources first affected by this program are now “old.” When Part 60 source requirements prove to be inadequate, new subparts are added to address newer “new” sources. This is the case for Subparts D and Da for electric utilities, Subparts Ea and Eb for municipal waste combustors, and Subparts J and Ja for petroleum refineries. The newer rules become more proscriptive and often require the installation of CEM systems not required in earlier subparts. Both new and existing stationary sources can be further regulated through programs such as the acid rain program of 40 CFR 75 and the air toxics program of 40 CFR 63, in addition to state permit requirements. Each of these programs can impose additional monitoring requirements.
