Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) The owner or
operator of a kiln subject to this Subpart must submit a complete monitoring
plan addressing the applicable requirements of subsection (b) of this Section
to the Agency and obtain approval of such plan by the Agency. The monitoring
plan shall identify the operating conditions to be monitored and the records to
be maintained under Section
217.410 of this
Subpart. For any kiln that commences operation on or before August 31, 2003,
such plan shall be submitted on or before August 31, 2003. For any other kiln
subject to this Subpart, such plan shall be submitted with the construction
permit application for such kiln. Such plan will be effective only when
included as federally enforceable conditions in a permit issued by the
Agency.
b) The plan must:
1) Identify the specific operating conditions
to be monitored and the correlation between the operating conditions and
NOx emission rates;
2) Include the data and information that the
owner or operator used to identify the correlation between
NOx emission rates and these operating
conditions;
3) Identify how the
owner or operator will monitor these operating conditions on an hourly or other
basis, as approved by the Agency, the quality assurance procedures or practices
that will be employed to ensure that the data generated by monitoring these
operating conditions will be representative and accurate, and the type and
format of the records of these operating conditions that will be maintained by
the owner or operator under Section
217.410 of this
Subpart;
4) If operating a
low-NOx burner or mid-kiln firing system, the plan must
include only monitoring the parameters indicated in the manufacturer's
specifications and recommendations for the low-NOx
burner or mid-kiln firing system as approved by the Agency; and
5) Notwithstanding the requirements of
subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this Section requiring the monitoring of
operating parameters, if the owner or operator elects to monitor
NOx emissions using a continuous emissions monitoring
system (CEMS), the owner or operator must submit a monitoring plan subject to
approval by the Agency that contains the applicable provisions of
40 CFR
60.13 and of Method 7E in Appendix A
contained in 40 CFR 60, as incorporated by reference in Section
217.104
of this Part, and additional provisions regarding accuracy, data capture, and
monitoring frequency.
c)
The owner or operator must monitor the operating parameters of the emission
unit and predict NOx emission rates in accordance with
the plan specified in the applicable operating permit.
