          (d) F = a factor as determined in Section 7(5) of this administrative regulation.

          (7) If an affected facility fires a combination of fossil fuels, the heat input, expressed in Cal/hr (BTU/hr), shall be determined during each testing period by multiplying the gross calorific value of each fuel fired by the rate of each fuel burned, in which:

          (a) Gross calorific value shall be determined in accordance with ASTM methods D2015-66(72) (solid fuels), D240-76 (liquid fuels), or D1826-64(70) (gaseous fuels) as applicable; and

          (b) The rate of fuels burned during each testing period shall be determined by the applicable method and shall be confirmed by a material balance over the steam generation system.
