212.324(a)(1)
of this Part.
b) Emission
Limitation for Crushing and Screening Operations. No person shall cause or
allow fugitive particulate matter emissions generated by the crushing or
screening of slag, stone, coke or coal to exceed an opacity of 10
percent.
c) Emission Limitations
for Roadways or Parking Areas. No person shall cause or allow fugitive
particulate matter emissions from any roadway or parking area to exceed an
opacity of 10 percent, except that the opacity shall not exceed 5 percent at
quarries with a capacity to produce more than 1 million T/yr of
aggregate.
d) Emission Limitations
for Storage Piles. No person shall cause or allow fugitive particulate matter
emissions from any storage pile to exceed an opacity of 10 percent, to be
measured four ft from the pile surface.
e) Additional Emissions Limitations for the
Granite City Vicinity as Defined in Section
212.324(a)(1)(C)
of this Part.
1) Emissions Limitations for Roadways or
Parking Areas Located at Slag Processing Facilities or Integrated Iron and
Steel Manufacturing Plants. No person shall cause or allow fugitive particulate
matter emissions from any roadway or parking area located at a slag processing
facility or integrated iron and steel manufacturing plant to exceed an opacity
of 5 percent.
2) Emissions
Limitations for Marine Terminals:
A) No person
shall cause or allow fugitive particulate matter emissions from any loading
spouts for truck or railcar to exceed an opacity of 10 percent; and
B) No person shall cause or allow fugitive
particulate matter emissions generated at barge unloading, dump pits, or
conveyor transfer points including, but not limited to, transfer onto and off
of a conveyor to exceed an opacity of 5 percent.
f) Emission Limitation for All
Other Emission Units. Unless an emission unit has been assigned a particulate
matter, PM-10, or fugitive particulate matter emissions limitation elsewhere in
this Section or in Subparts R or S of this Part, no person shall cause or allow
fugitive particulate matter emissions from any emission unit to exceed an
opacity of 20 percent.
g)
Recordkeeping and Reporting
1) The owner or
operator of any fugitive particulate matter emission unit subject to this
Section shall keep written records of the application of control measures as
may be needed for compliance with the opacity limitations of this Section and
shall submit to the Agency an annual report containing a summary of such
information.
2) The records
required under this subsection shall include at least the following:
A) The name and address of the
source;
B) The name and address of
the owner and/or operator of the source;
C) A map or diagram showing the location of
all emission units controlled, including the location, identification, length,
and width of roadways;
D) For each
application of water or chemical solution to roadways by truck: the name and
location of the roadway controlled, application rate of each truck, frequency
of each application, width of each application, identification of each truck
used, total quantity of water or chemical used for each application and, for
each application of chemical solution, the concentration and identity of the
chemical;
E) For application of
physical or chemical control agents: the name of the agent, application rate
and frequency, and total quantity of agent, and, if diluted, percent of
concentration, used each day; and
F) A log recording incidents when control
measures were not used and a statement of explanation.
3) Copies of all records required by this
Section shall be submitted to the Agency within ten (10) working days after a
written request by the Agency and shall be transmitted to the Agency by a
company-designated person with authority to release such records.
4) The records required under this Section
shall be kept and maintained for at least three (3) years and shall be
available for inspection and copying by Agency representatives during working
hours.
5) A quarterly report shall
be submitted to the Agency stating the following: the dates any necessary
control measures were not implemented, a listing of those control measures, the
reasons that the control measures were not implemented, and any corrective
actions taken. This information includes, but is not limited to, those dates
when controls were not applied based on a belief that application of such
control measures would have been unreasonable given prevailing atmospheric
conditions, which shall constitute a defense to the requirements of this
Section. This report shall be submitted to the Agency thirty (30) calendar days
from the end of a quarter. Quarters end March 31, June 30, September 30, and
December 31.
h)
Compliance Date. Emission units shall comply with the emissions limitations and
recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this Section by May 11, 1993, or
upon initial start-up, whichever occurs later.
