b. For mass burn rotary waterwall units: 250 parts per million by volume corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

c. For refuse-derived fuel combustors: 250 parts per million by volume corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

d. For fluidized bed combustors: 180 parts per million by volume corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

e. For mass burn refractory combustors: no limit.

2. For facilities engaged in an emissions averaging plan as described in 9VAC5-40-8100 D:

a. For mass burn waterwall units: 185 parts per million by volume, corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

b. For mass burn rotary waterwall units: 220 parts per million by volume, corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

c. For refuse-derived fuel combustors: 230 parts per million by volume, corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.

d. For fluidized bed combustors: 165 parts per million by volume, corrected to 7.0% oxygen, dry basis.
