Acid Rain New Unit Exemption
The Acid Rain Program regulations provide that any new Acid Rain utility unit that serves generators with total nameplate capacity not greater than 25 MWe, and where fuel burned each year has an annual average sulfur content of 0.05 percent or less, is exempted from the requirements to obtain an Acid Rain Part permit, monitor emissions, and hold allowances. The designated representative or certifying official(s) of such a unit must submit the Acid Rain New Unit Exemption form. The provisions governing the new unit exemption are found at Rule 62-214.340(1), F.A.C.
