Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17
Sec. 7.
(a) Owners
and operators of secondary lead smelters shall maintain purchasing records and
manufacturer's specifications of all high efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
filters installed on process fugitive emission and fugitive dust stacks
demonstrating the filters have been certified by the manufacturer to meet the
definition of HEPA filters in the July 1, 2011, edition of 40 CFR 63.542 *. The
records and manufacturer's specifications shall be maintained on site for three
(3) years and shall be available for an additional two (2) years.
(b) The owner or operator of any secondary
lead smelter shall comply with the following opacity limitations:
(1) Stacks exhausting process, 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, Reference Method
9*.
(2) Exterior dust handling
systems of dry collectors of lead emitting processes (augers, hoppers, transfer
points) shall not discharge to the atmosphere visible emissions 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, Reference 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 limitations in this
subsection shall only apply to particulate matter emissions.
(c) In addition to the
requirements in section 1(e) of this rule, and the July 1, 2011, edition of 40
CFR 63.547(e) *, an owner or operator of any secondary lead smelter using a
total enclosure shall do the following:
(1)
Submit a plan describing the installation and operation of a continuous
monitoring system that meets the requirements of the July 1, 2011, edition of
40 CFR 63.547(e)(2) *. The plan shall be postmarked or hand delivered to the
department one hundred twenty (120) days prior to installation of the
continuous monitoring system.
(2)
Within one hundred eighty (180) days after written approval of the monitoring
system plan by the department, install and operate a continuous monitoring
system to measure and record pressure differential. The continuous monitoring
system shall consist of the following:
(A) A
differential pressure sensor capable of measuring pressure within a range of
two-hundredths (0.02) to two-tenths (0.2) millimeter of mercury (one-hundredth
(0.01) to one-tenth (0.1) inch water).
(B) A processor.
(C) An alarm.
(D) A continuous recording device.
Any changes to the location or operation of the system shall
require prior written approval by the department.
(3) Initiate corrective actions within thirty
(30) minutes of a monitoring system alarm.
(4) Request, if desired, to cease monitoring
pressure differential under this subsection twelve (12) months from the
commencement date of approved monitoring or December 31, 2000, whichever is
later.
(5) Notify the department of
any physical changes including, but not limited to, ventilation capacity and
building size. If the department determines the net effect of any such changes
may potentially affect air pressure readings of the building, then the owner or
operator shall resume monitoring for an additional twelve (12) months.
Monitoring may be discontinued in accordance with the procedures under
subdivision (4).
(6) Maintain the
following on site for a period of three (3) years and have available for an
additional two (2) years:
(A) Records of the
pressure differential.
(B) Logs of
monitoring system alarms, including date and time.
(C) Logs of corrective actions, including
date and time.
(d) The owner or operator of a secondary lead
smelter shall demonstrate compliance with the bag leak detection system
requirements under section 5 of this rule, if applicable, by submitting reports
showing that the alarm on the system does not activate for more than five
percent (5%) of the total operating time in a six (6) month period or two
hundred nineteen (219) hours, if operated for four thousand three hundred
eighty (4,380) hours in the six (6) month period, whichever is less.
(e) The owner or operator of a secondary lead
smelter shall calculate the percentage of total operating time the alarm on the
bag leak detection system activates as the ratio of the sum of alarm times to
the total operating time multiplied by one hundred (100).
(f) The owner or operator of any secondary
lead smelter shall install and maintain an ambient air quality monitoring
network for lead as follows:
(1) Unless the
owner or operator has received approval prior to December 31, 2000, to operate
an ambient air quality monitoring network, the owner or operator shall submit a
proposed ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan to the department within
ninety (90) days after December 31, 2000. The plan does not need to be
submitted by the owner or operator if an authorized air pollution control
agency operates the monitoring network. The owner or operator may submit a plan
for an existing monitoring network that predates December 31, 2000.
(2) An owner or operator that has not
received approval prior to December 31, 2000, shall commence ambient monitoring
within thirty (30) days after the department's approval of the proposed ambient
monitoring and quality assurance plan. An owner or operator that has received
approval prior to December 31, 2000, shall commence monitoring under this rule
on January 31, 2001.
(3) The
ambient monitoring shall be:
(A) performed
using U.S. EPA-approved methods, procedures, and quality assurance programs,
and in accordance with the ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan as
approved by the department; or
(B)
performed by an authorized air pollution control agency having jurisdiction to
operate the network.
(4)
The owner or operator shall submit a quarterly report to the department within
forty-five (45) days after the end of the quarter in which the data was
collected. The report shall include the following:
(A) Ambient air quality monitoring network
data.
(B) If a violation of the
quarterly NAAQS for lead occurred, identification of the cause of the violation
and corrective actions taken to address the violation.
(5) After twenty-four (24) months from the
commencement date of monitoring pursuant to the approved monitoring plan, an
owner or operator may submit a request to discontinue ambient monitoring. The
commissioner may deny the request if a determination is made that continued
monitoring is in the interest of public health and the environment.
(g) Ventilation air from the
following shall be conveyed or ventilated to a control device:
(1) All enclosure hoods and total
enclosures.
(2) All dryer emission
vents.
(3) Agglomerating furnace
emission vents.
