Cal e-GGRT Help

Q77. For a unit that has an O2 monitor and doesn't meet the conditions required to use Tier 4, but elects to use Tier 4, what are the monitoring requirements?

Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.

If a facility elects to use Tier 4, then all of the Tier 4 requirements must be met. In this case, a stack flow monitor must be installed and certified, and the O2 monitor may be used in lieu of installing and certifying a CO2 monitor, provided that: (1) only fuels listed in Table 1 in section 3.3.5 of Part 75, Appendix F are combusted in the unit; and (2) the effluent stream does not include any CO2 emissions from non-combustion processes or emission control systems. (See §98.33(a)(4)(iv)). However, the RATA of the O2 monitor must be conducted on a %CO2 basis comparing the calculated CO2 concentrations to the CO2 reference method. (See §98.34(c)(2))
