(BB) Its moisture content.

(CC) The silt content.

(DD) The throughput.

(CC) The existing control equipment and their efficiencies, including the process equipment served.

(iv) A complete description of the material transfer, inplant transportation, and dust handling equipment. Material transfer operations shall include, at a minimum, those operations contained in section 2(13) of this rule.

(v) A complete description of all other fugitive particulate matter emitting facilities not covered in this clause.

(E) The description of the proposed control measures and practices that the source will employ to achieve compliance with the emission limitations and data that prove its effectiveness.

(G) A schedule for achieving compliance with the provisions of the control plan. The schedule shall specify the time required to:
(i) award necessary contracts; and

(ii) begin and complete construction and installation.

Final compliance shall be achieved no later than December 10, 1993.

(ii) Application rate.

(iii) The time of each application.

(iv) The width of each application.

(v) The identification of each method of application.

(vi) The total quantity of water or chemical used for each application.

(vii) For each application of chemical solution, the concentration and identity of the chemical.

(viii) The material data safety sheets for each chemical.

(C) For application of physical or chemical control agents not covered by clause (B), the following:
(i) The name of the agent.

(ii) The location of application.

(iii) The application rate.

(iv) The total quantity of agent used.

(v) If diluted, the percent of concentration.

(vi) The material data safety sheets for each chemical.

(D) A log recording incidents when control measures were not used and a statement of explanation.

(E) Copies of all records required by this rule shall be submitted to the department within twenty (20) working days of a written request by the department.

(F) The records required under this subdivision shall be:

This report shall be submitted to the department thirty (30) calendar days from the end of a quarter. Quarters end March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.

(5) A source shall consult "Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors", Volume 1: Stationary Point and Area Sources, AP-42 Fifth Edition, January 1995*, Supplements A through G, December 2000** and Control of Open Sources of Fugitive Dust, U.S. EPA, September 1988** to determine the following:

(A) The information needed.

(B) The effectiveness of the applicable control practices and measures.

(6) A source listed under section 1(a)(2) of this rule shall be exempt from this rule if it can demonstrate to the department that its uncontrolled PM10 emissions are less than five (5) tons per year. An exemption must be approved by both the department and by the U.S. EPA as a revision to the state implementation plan.

(7) The evaluation of a control plan by the department and U.S. EPA or a request for exemption from the requirement to submit a control plan shall be based on the following criteria:

(A) The completeness of the description of the affected facilities located on the plant property.

(B) The accuracy of the methods and procedures used to determine the applicability of the rule.

(C) The completeness of the description of control measures and practices proposed by the source and any alternative control measures, and the accuracy of the data and calculations that document compliance with the emission limitations.

(8) The department may require that a source revise its control plan if either of the following apply:

(A) A test of surface silt loading on a paved road shows that the loading is greater than one hundred (100) pounds per mile averaged over five (5) roads or five (5) road sections. The surface silt loading shall be determined using the sampling and analysis procedures in the U.S. EPA guidance document EPA 600/ 2-79-103, "Iron and Steel Plant Open Source Fugitive Emission Evaluation", Appendix B***.

(B) The department's evaluation under subdivision (7) determines that the requirements of the control plan have not been met.
