Sec. 10.
(a) The
owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall comply with the following
opacity limitations:
(1) Stacks exhausting
process vents, process fugitive emissions, or fugitive dust emissions shall not
exceed five percent (5%) opacity from particulate matter emissions for any one
(1) six (6) minute averaging period as measured by 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
Method 9*.
(2) Exterior dust
handling systems of dry collectors of lead emitting processes, such as augers,
hoppers, and transfer points, shall not discharge visible emissions to the
atmosphere in excess of five percent (5%) of an observation period consisting
of three (3) twenty (20) minute periods, as determined by 40 CFR 60, Appendix
A, Method 22*. The provisions under this subdivision for dust handling systems
shall not apply during maintenance and repair of the dust handling systems.
During maintenance and repair of the dust handling system, the owner or
operator shall take reasonable measures to prevent or minimize fugitive dust
emissions.
(3) The opacity

vents.
(3) Agglomerating furnace
emission vents.
(c) If
the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter uses baghouses equipped with
HEPA filters as a secondary filter used to control emissions from any source
subject to the lead emission standards in sections 3 through 5 of this rule,
the owner or operator of secondary lead smelter must monitor and record the
pressure drop across each HEPA filter system daily as follows:
(1) If the pressure drop is outside the limit
specified by the filter manufacturer, the owner or operator of a secondary lead
smelter shall take the appropriate corrective measures, including, but not
limited to, the following:
(A) Inspecting the
filter and filter housing for air leaks and torn or broken filters.
(B) Replacing defective filter media, or
otherwise repairing the control device.
(C) Sealing off a defective control device by

manufacturer's specifications shall be:
(A)
maintained on site for three (3) years; and
(B) available for an additional two (2)
years.
(d) If
the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter uses a wet scrubber to
control particulate matter and metal hazardous air pollutant emissions from a
process vent to demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission standards,
the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter must monitor and record the
pressure drop and water flow rate of the wet scrubber during the initial
performance or compliance test conducted to demonstrate compliance with the
applicable lead emission limits under sections 3 through 5 of this rule.
Thereafter, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall:
(1) monitor and record the pressure drop and
water flow rate values at least once every hour; and
(2) maintain the pressure drop and water flow
rate at levels no lower than thirty percent (30%) below the pressure drop and
water flow rate measured during the initial performance or compliance
test.
(e) The owner or
operator of a secondary lead smelter shall demonstrate continuous compliance
with the total hydrocarbon and dioxin and furan emission standards. During
periods of startup and shutdown, the requirements of subdivision (4) do not
apply. Instead, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall
demonstrate compliance with the standard for total hydrocarbon by meeting the
requirements of section 5(i) of this rule. The requirements to demonstrate
continuous compliance are as follows:
(1) The
owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall install, calibrate,
maintain, and continuously operate a device to monitor and record the
temperature of the afterburner or furnace exhaust streams consistent with the
requirements for continuous monitoring systems in the July 1, 2012, edition of
40 CFR
63.8 *.
(2) Prior to or in conjunction with the
initial performance or compliance test to determine compliance with section
5(d) of this rule, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall
conduct a performance evaluation for the temperature monitoring device
according to the July 1, 2012, edition of
40 CFR
63.8(e) *. The definitions,
installation specifications, test procedures, and data reduction procedures for
determining calibration drift, relative accuracy, and reporting described in
Performance Specification 2, 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, sections 2*, 3*, 5*, 7*,
8*, 9*, and 10* must be used to conduct the evaluation. The temperature
monitoring device must meet the following performance and equipment
specifications:
(A) The recorder response
range must include zero (0) and one and one-half (1.5) times the average
temperature identified in subdivision (3).
(B) The monitoring system calibration drift
must not exceed two percent (2%) of one and one-half (1.5) times the average
temperature identified in subdivision (3).
(C) The monitoring system relative accuracy
must not exceed twenty percent (20%).
(D) The reference method must be a National
Institute of Standards and Technology calibrated reference
thermocouple-potentiometer system or an alternate reference method, subject to
the approval of U.S. EPA.
(3) The owner or operator of a secondary lead
smelter shall monitor and record the temperature of the afterburner or the
furnace exhaust streams every fifteen (15) minutes during the initial
performance or compliance test for total hydrocarbons and dioxins and furans
and determine an arithmetic average for the recorded temperature
measurements.
(4) To demonstrate
continuous compliance with the standards for total hydrocarbons and dioxins and
furans, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall maintain an
afterburner or exhaust temperature so that the average temperature in any three
(3) hour period does not fall more than twenty-eight (28) degrees Celsius below
the average established in subdivision (3).
(f) The owner or operator of a new emission
unit subject to the requirements under sections 3 through 5 of this rule shall
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring lead emissions.
In addition to the requirements for CEMS in the July 1, 2012, edition of
40 CFR
63.8(c) that are referenced
in section 1(d) of this rule, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter
shall comply with the requirements for CEMS specified in subsection (g) and the
following requirements:
(1) The owner or
operator of a new emission unit subject to the emission limits for lead
compounds under sections 3 through 5 of this rule shall install a CEMS for
measuring lead emissions within one hundred eighty (180) days of promulgation
by U.S. EPA of performance specifications for lead CEMS.
(2) Prior to one hundred eighty (180) days
after U.S. EPA promulgates performance specifications for CEMS used to measure
lead concentrations, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall
use the procedure described in section 11(a)(1) of this rule to determine
compliance.
(3) Vents from control
devices that serve only to control emissions from buildings containing
lead-bearing materials are exempt from the requirement to install a CEMS for
measuring lead emissions.
(g) If a CEMS is used to measure lead
emissions, the owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall install a
CEMS with a sensor in a location that provides representative measurement of
the exhaust gas flow rate at the sampling location of the CEMS used to measure
lead emissions, taking into account the manufacturer's recommendations. The
flow rate sensor is that portion of the system that senses the volumetric flow
rate and generates an output proportional to that flow rate. The owner or
operator of a secondary lead smelter shall comply with the following
requirements:
(1) The CEMS shall be designed
to measure the exhaust gas flow rate over a range that extends from a value of
at least twenty percent (20%) less than the lowest expected exhaust flow rate
to a value of at least twenty percent (20%) greater than the highest expected
exhaust gas flow rate.
(2) Tihe
CEMS shall be equipped with a data acquisition and recording system that is
capable of recordng values over the entire range specified in subdivision
(1).
(3) The owner or operator of a
secondary lead smelter shall perform an initial relative accuracy test of the
CEMS in accordance with the applicable performance specification in 40 CFR 60,
Appendix B*.
(4) The owner or
operator of a secondary lead smelter shall operate the CEMS and record data
during all periods of operation of the affected emission unit including periods
of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, except for periods of monitoring system
malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, and
required monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
including, as applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span
adjustments.
(5) If the owner or
operator of a secondary lead smelter uses a CEMS to measure lead emissions, the
owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall calculate the average lead
concentration and flow rate monthly to determine compliance with sections 3
through 5 of this rule.
(6) When
the CEMS is unable to provide quality assured data, the following requirements
apply:
(A) When data are not available for
periods of up to forty-eight (48) hours, the highest recorded hourly emissions
rate from the previous twenty-four (24) hours shall be used.
(B) When data are not available for
forty-eight (48) or more hours, the maximum daily emissions rate based on the
previous thirty (30) days shall be used.
