CEM system: Lynchpin holding CAA compliance together
Continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) and associated reporting systems promise to be among the most important subjects in the electric power industry this year. With the first major deadline stipulated by the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 (CAA) now past, viable CEM/reporting systems are absolutely essential to the compliance and allowance-tracking of many powerplants. The implications and challenges of meeting CAA`s Title 5, which went into effect on January 1, 1995, are discussed here. Title 5 consolidates all existing air-pollution regulations into one comprehensive but ungainly operating-permit program. It stipulates that powerplant operators must file their permit applications; that is, estimate all point-source and fugitive emissions, specify all regulations that apply to them, and show how each rule will be met.
