The first compliance deadline for the Boiler GACT Rule is September 17, 2011 – when the Initial Notification of Applicability is due. This rule applies to facilities with boilers fueled by any fuel except natural gas, and who are not major sources of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Some state agencies have already acted, with North Carolina DENR having recently mailed out letters to potentially affected facilities. Others, such as the Georgia EPD, will be sending out similar letters soon. Whether or not you receive a letter, you will have to submit your initial notification by Sept. 17 if this rule applies to your facility.
The Boiler MACT rule, which applies to facilities that are major sources of HAPs, has been placed on legal hold. This means the large facilities have some breathing room, but the small facilities covered by the GACT rule must act now.
