Читать книгу Continuous Emission Monitoring - James A. Jahnke - Страница 53

In Canada, the Federal Government provides national guidelines, through Environment Canada, that are to be implemented by the provinces. For example, in May of 1993, National Power Generation Emissions guidelines for New Stationary Sources (N 305) were published to address acid rain control requirements agreed upon in the U.S.– Canada Clean Air Accords. Mercury monitoring requirements are given in the document Canada‐wide Standards for Mercury Emissions (CCME 2006, 2007).

Implementing rules are published separately by the provinces. For example, in Ontario, monitoring requirements for cement plants and smelters are found in Ontario Rule 194/05 (Government of Ontario 2020a). Monitoring requirements for electrical generation are found in Ontario Rule 347/01 (Government of Ontario 2020b).

In Alberta, CEM implementing rules are given in facility “approvals.” Approaches to emission monitoring requirements in other Canadian provinces have been summarized in a report submitted to the Canadian Council of Ministers by Marbek Consultants (Marbek 2009).

CEM system installation, certification, and quality assurance criteria are found in the Environment Canada document EPS/1/PG7 – Protocols and Performance Specifications for Continuous Monitoring of Gaseous Emissions from Thermal Power Generation (ENVC 2005), which is either adopted or modified by the provincial environmental ministries. In Alberta, a “CEMS Code,” based on EPS 1/PG/7, was developed to address petroleum industry and other sources (AEP 1998). The Alberta CEMS Code has also been adopted in Australia (WADER 2016).
