Regulations Amending the Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations [Proposed]

The proposed Amendments aim to add flexibility to the testing requirements to apply to a greater variety of equipment configuration. The proposed Amendments would also provide regulated parties with an extended testing period to conduct a valid NOx test for the 218 pre-existing boilers and heaters for which a valid NOx test was not submitted. This would include at least 41 boilers and heaters that had confirmed issues to demonstrate compliance as a result of existing testing provisions. This would allow operators of the 218 impacted boilers and heaters time and flexibility to retest their equipment.
