Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) A specific proposal of,
and support for, an Adjusted RACT Emissions Limitation which would apply to the
emission source that is the subject of the petition as well as a showing at a
hearing held pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Illinois Environmental Protection
Act (Act) that the application of the applicable limits of Section
215.926(a)(1) and
(2),
215.946(a)(1)
or
215.966(a)(1)
would be technically infeasible or
economically unreasonable for that emission source.
b) Information on the technical feasibility
of reducing emissions of volatile organic material from the emission source
including, but not limited to:
1) A complete
description of the operations of the emission source.
2) A discussion of all available compliance
strategies for achieving the emissions reduction prescribed by the applicable
section and the technical feasibility of each compliance strategy.
3) Comparisons of the nature and quantity of
uncontrolled emissions to:
A) Emissions
reductions which would be achieved pursuant to the applicable Section for each
compliance strategy listed in Section
215.261(b)(2);
and
B) Emissions reduction which
would be achieved pursuant to the proposed Adjusted RACT Emissions
Limitation.
4) The basis
for determining that the proposed method of emissions reduction is RACT for the
that emission source and all information supporting that
determination.
c)
Information on the economic reasonableness of reducing emissions of volatile
organic material from the emission source including, but not limited to:
1) A comparison of the relative costs of
achieving the emissions reduction pursuant to Section
215.926(a)(9) and
(2),
215.946(a)(1)
or
215.966(a)(1)
and pursuant to the proposed Adjusted RACT
Emissions Limitation including for each compliance strategy:
A) Capital costs;
B) Operating costs;
C) Any economic benefits, such as material
recovery; and
D) Other costs and
benefits.
2) An
evaluation of the cost effectiveness in terms of annualized net cost per ton of
volatile organic material reduction for each compliance strategy. Volatile
organic material reduction is the amount of uncontrolled volatile organic
material emissions less the amount of volatile organic material emissions after
controls.
3) An evaluation of the
effects of the cost of achieving emissions reduction in relation to:
A) The annualized capital and operating
budgets of the emission source over the most recent five-year period;
and
B) Such other costs and
economic information as the petitioner believes may assist the Board in
reaching a decision.
4)
A discussion of other factors the petitioner may consider relevant such as:
A) Age of facility;
B) Quantity of emissions;
C) Nature of emissions;
D) Severity of existing air quality
problems;
E) Extent of controls
present;
F) Comparability to
standard industry practice in related industries;
G) Cross media impacts; or
H) Potential for operational
modifications
5) The
basis for determining that the proposed method of emissions reduction is RACT
for the emission source and all information supporting that
determination.
