Abstract

The present Regulations are made under the Canadian Environment Protection Act, 1999. In particular, the Regulations require owners and operators of specific industrial facilities and equipment types to meet consistent performance standards across the country. The objectives of the Regulations are to: 1) Limit the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOX) emitted from modern (new) and pre-existing (existing), gaseous-fuel-fired non-utility boilers and heaters used in many industrial facilities; 2) Limit the amount of NOX emitted from modern and pre-existing stationary spark-ignition gaseous-fuel-fired engines used by many industrial facilities (e.g., those used for gas compression or back-up generators(; 3) Limit the amount of NOx and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emitted from cement kilns. The text consists of 123 sections divided into 4 Parts as follows: Boilers and heaters (1); Stationary Spark-ignition Engines (2); Cement (3); General (4). Twelve Schedules are enclosed.
