Subpart GG, Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

Measure these parameters for each Waelz kiln or electrothermic furnace:

What Must Be Monitored?

If NOT using a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS):

~	Monthly mass of each carbon (C)-containing input material (e.g., zinc (Zn) bearing material, flux materials,
C electrodes) fed, charged, or introduced to each Waelz kiln or electrothermic furnace (tons).

~	C content of each input material (using three representative samples analyzed annually or using
information provided by material supplier) (% by weight).

~	Operating hours for all Waelz kilns and electrothermic furnaces used in Zn production (hours).

~	Monthly production quantity for each Zn product (tons).

If using a CEMS, in addition to the monitoring requirements under 40 CFR Subpart C for the Tier 4
Calculation Methodology, measure these parameters on an annual basis:	

~	Facility production quantity for each Zn product (tons).

~	Operating hours for all Waelz kilns and electrothermic furnaces used in Zn production (hours).

~	Monthly production quantity for each Zn product (tons).
