Version of section 43 from 2020-09-21 to 2022-12-31:


Marginal note:Change report

  •  (1) If the information in respect of a boiler or heater that was provided in a report changes, a change report must be provided to the Minister that identifies the name of the boiler’s or heater’s manufacturer, along with its serial number, make and model, and that contains the updated information, as follows:

    • (a) for a change in information referred to in section 1 or 2 or any of paragraphs 3(a), (b), (d), (e), (i) and (j) of Schedule 6, the changed information within the period that ends 31 days after the change;

    • (b) for a boiler or heater that is permanently taken out of service, an indication to that effect, along with the information referred to in section 1 of Schedule 6, within the period that ends six months after the last day on which it combusted gaseous fossil fuel;

    • (c) for a boiler or heater that is relocated to a facility that is not a regulated facility, an indication to that effect, along with the information referred to in section 1 of Schedule 6, within the period that ends six months after the day on which it was relocated;

    • (d) for a boiler or heater that is redesigned to no longer combust gaseous fossil fuel, an indication to that effect, along with the information referred to in section 1 of Schedule 6, within the period that ends six months after the last day on which it combusted gaseous fossil fuel;

    • (d.1) for a boiler or heater in respect of which a report was provided on the basis that it was not a type of boiler or heater referred to in subsection 5(3) and that, on or after amendment day, is of a type referred to in subsection 5(3), an indication as to which one of paragraphs 5(3)(a) to (o) applies to the boiler or heater, along with an indication of the facility where it is located, including the civic address of the facility or, if there is no civic address, the facility’s latitude and longitude and the boiler’s or heater’s identifier within the facility, if any, within the period that ends six months after amendment day or the day on which the boiler or heater undergoes a change such that it is of a type referred to in subsection 5(3), whichever is later;

    • (e) for a boiler or heater that has a rated capacity of at most 105 GJ/h and that changes the type of gaseous fossil fuel that it combusts from natural gas to alternative gas, or vice versa, the result of a determination under section 25 of its NOx emission intensity made when the type of gaseous fossil fuel combusted was natural gas or alternative gas, whichever type was not combusted during the determination provided in the most recent report before the change, along with, within six months after the end of the reference period,

      • (i) if the determination was made by means of a stack test, the information referred to in subparagraphs 3(k)(i) to (v) of Schedule 6, and

      • (ii) if the determination was made by means of a CEMS test, the information referred to in subparagraphs 3(l)(i) and (ii) of Schedule 6;

    • (f) for a boiler or heater that has a rated capacity of at most 105 GJ/h and that undergoes a change involving the installation of equipment to preheat air or, in the case of modern heater, involving the removal of that equipment, the result of a determination under section 25 of its NOx emission intensity made when the boiler or heater operates — with preheated air, if it was not operating with preheated air before the change, or without preheated air, if it was operating with preheated air before the change — along with, within six months after the end of the reference period ,

      • (i) if the determination was made by means of a stack test, the information referred to in paragraph 3(j) and subparagraphs 3(k)(i) to (v) of Schedule 6, and

      • (ii) if the determination was made by means of a CEMS test, the information referred to in paragraph 3(j) and subparagraphs 3(l)(i) and (ii) of Schedule 6; and

    • (g) for a change in the class of a boiler or heater that results from a redetermination of its classification NOx emission intensity under section 36 or 37, the information referred to in section 1 or 2, paragraphs 3(c) and (e) or any of sections 4 to 8 of Schedule 5, within the period that ends six months after the date on which that redetermination is made.

  • Marginal note:Reference period

    (2) For a change referred to in paragraph (1)(e) or (f), or a subsequent change referred to in subsection (4), the reference period begins on the day on which the boiler or heater begins to combust gaseous fossil fuel after the change and ends on the day that is six months after that day.

  • Marginal note:Subsequent change of gaseous fossil fuel

    (3) No matter how many subsequent changes in the type of gaseous fossil fuel combusted — from natural gas to alternative gas, or vice versa — may occur, no further reports are required to be provided after the change report referred to in paragraph (1)(e) is provided.

  • Marginal note:Subsequent change after other change

    (4) Despite subsection (3), if a change referred to in paragraph (1)(f) occurs and there is also a subsequent change in the type of gaseous fossil fuel combusted as compared to the type of gaseous fossil fuel combusted during the determination referred to in that paragraph, the result of a determination — under section 25 of the boiler’s or heater’s NOx emission intensity made in the reference period when the type of gaseous fossil fuel combusted was natural gas or alternative gas, whichever type was not combusted during the determination provided in the most recent report before that subsequent change — must be provided to the Minister within six months after the end of the reference period.
