(A) The ventilator control system (Stack V-1) shall consist of a fan with a constant flow rate that draws air from the building through a HEPA filter which vents to the atmosphere through a stack. The HEPA filters shall be maintained and operated in order to achieve maximum control efficiency. In addition to the requirements contained in subsection (c), Hammond Lead Products, Inc. shall submit an operation and maintenance plan by July 31, 1990, which incorporates good housekeeping practices for the ventilator control systems. This operation and maintenance plan shall be incorporated into the operating permits for Hammond Lead Products, Inc. and submitted to U.S. EPA as a revision to Indiana's lead state implementation plan by December 31, 1990. The ventilator control systems shall be designed so that process fugitive emissions will not routinely escape the buildings except as vented through the ventilator control systems. The compliance test method specified in section 4(a) of this rule shall be used to determine compliance with the emission limitations for the ventilator control system stacks.

(B) By December 31, 1989, the stack heights for all processes except Stack 16-S-56, Stack 1-S-52, and the ventilator control systems shall be no less than sixty (60) feet above grade; the stack heights for Stack 16-S-56 and Stack 1-S-52 shall be no less than eighty-two (82) feet above grade. By July 31, 1990, the stack heights for the other ventilator control systems shall be no less than sixty (60) feet above grade.

(C) Hammond Lead Products, Inc. shall install HEPA filters according to the following schedule:

Stack 4A-S-8 March 31, 1992
Stack 14-S-16 June 30, 1992
Stack 1-S-2 December 31, 1991

Stack 1-S-52 December 31, 1989
Stack 1-S-27 August 15, 1987
Stack 4-S-35 October 16, 1989
Stack 6-S-33 July 22, 1988
Stack 4B-S-34 October 5, 1989
Stack 6-S-47 May 26, 1988
*Four (4) bag filters are vented through common Stack 16-S-56.

(D) Hammond Lead Products, Inc. shall provide written notification to the commissioner within three (3) days after the installation of HEPA filters is completed at each of the sites listed in clause (A).

(E) All emission limitations in this subdivision shall be met by December 31, 199Sec. 2.

(F) This subdivision shall be submitted to U.S. EPA as a revision to the Indiana state implementation plan.

(A) Hammond Group-Halstab Division shall install and maintain one (1) baghouse with laminated filters followed by one (1) HEPA filter in series with the baghouse on each of stacks S-1, S-2, S-4 through S-17, and S-21.

(B) Hammond Group-Halstab Division shall submit a proposed ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan within thirty (30) days of March 10, 1988.

(C) Hammond Group-Halstab Division shall commence ambient monitoring within thirty (30) days of the department's approval of the proposed ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan.

(D) Hammond Group-Halstab Division shall conduct a minimum of twenty-four (24) months of monitoring for lead. The monitoring shall be:
(i) performed using U.S. EPA-approved methods, procedures, and quality assurance programs; and

(ii) in accordance with the ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan as approved by the department.

(E) The requirement to monitor shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the commencement date of the monitoring provided the monitored values, averaged over a calendar quarter, do not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) level for lead in any quarter during twenty-four (24) months.

(F) If the monitored values averaged over a calendar quarter exceed eighty percent (80%) of the NAAQS level for lead during the twenty-four (24) month period, monitoring shall be continued until eight (8) continuous quarters of monitored values do not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the NAAQS level for lead.

(G) If the monitored values, averaged over a calendar quarter, exceed eighty percent (80%) of the NAAQS level for lead for two (2) or more continuous quarters, the department and Hammond Group-Halstab Division shall analyze and assess causes of the emissions and determine whether changes to control requirements or operating practices are appropriate.

(b) In addition to the sources listed in subsection (a), C & D Batteries, Attica, shall comply with subsection (c) and section 3 of this rule.

(c) Operation and maintenance programs shall be designed to prevent deterioration of control equipment performance. For sources listed in subsection (a)(1) through (a)(3), these programs shall be submitted to the department on or before June 1, 1987. For the source listed in subsection (b), these programs shall be submitted to the department on or before February 1, 1988.
