) Startup Requirements
MATS had two options for defining startup:
Definition #1: startup ends when steam is used for generation or any on-site purpose
requires use of clean fuels for ignition and control device use when coal/oil combustion begins (except for dry scrubber or selective catalytic reduction units, which come online as conditions allow)
Definition #2: startup ends 4 hours after the start of generation of electricity or useful thermal energy
operators must provide records of clean and non-clean fuel use, load characteristics, as well as exhaust flow and PM control device parameters
Final Rule: Removes startup definition #2
