Sec. 1.

(a) Any source of fugitive particulate matter emissions located in nonattainment areas for particulate matter as designated by the board (except for such a source located in Lake County) which has potential fugitive particulate matter emissions of twenty-five (25) tons per year or more, including the following:

(1) Primary nonattainment areas, to include the portion of Marion County bounded on the west by Keystone Avenue, on the north and east by Southeastern Avenue, and on the east and south by Center Township.

(2) Secondary nonattainment areas as follows:
(A) The portion of Clark County included in Jeffersonville Township.

(B) The portion of Dubois County included in Bainbridge Township.

(C) The portions of Marion County included in Center and Wayne Townships, the portion of Decatur Township located east and north of I-465, and the portion of Perry Township located north of I-465.

(D) The portion of St. Joseph County north of Kern Road and east of Pine Road.

(E) The portion of Vanderburgh County included in the city of Evansville and Pigeon Township.

(F) The portion of Vigo County located within a five-tenths (0.5) kilometer radius of UTM Coordinates four hundred sixty-four and five hundred nineteen-thousandths (464.519) east and four thousand three hundred sixty-nine and two hundred eight-thousandths (4,369.208) north, in Indiana State University parking lot number 23 in Terre Haute.

(b) Any new source of fugitive particulate matter emissions, located anywhere in the state, requiring a permit as set forth in 326 IAC 2, which has not received all the necessary preconstruction approvals before December 13, 1985. If any control measure established by this rule is inconsistent with an applicable control measure contained in 326 IAC 12, the more stringent measure shall apply.

(c) Any source or facility of fugitive particulate matter emissions subject to the requirements of this rule shall be subject to 326 IAC 6-4-6.

(d) The following emission factors and control efficiencies apply to sources subject to this rule:

(1) Emission factor equations listed in supplements 11.2.1, 11.2.3, and 11.2.6 of the May 1983 edition and no later amendments of "Compilation of Air Pollutant Factors" (AP-42)* shall be used to determine potential emissions for unpaved roads, aggregate handling and storage piles, and paved roads, respectively.

(2) Efficiencies of any existing control measures shall be obtained from the following:
(A) Supplement 11.2.1 of the May 1983 edition and no later amendments of "Compilation of Air Pollutant Factors" (AP-42)* for unpaved roads.

(B) The August 1983 edition* of "Iron and Steel Plant Open Source Fugitive Emission Control Evaluation" (prepared by Midwest Research Institute) for aggregate handling and storage piles.

(C) The April 26, 1984, edition* of "Cost Estimates for Selected Fugitive Dust Controls Applied to Unpaved and Paved Roads in Iron and Steel Plants" for paved roads (prepared by Midwest Research Institute).

(3) Emission factors and efficiencies of existing controls, if any, for sources in the categories not covered in subdivisions (1) and (2) shall be obtained from "Reasonably Available Control Measures for Fugitive Dust Sources", as amended August 1983 and no later amendments, Ohio EPA**. Where a range of values is available for a source or process as referenced in subdivisions (1) and (2), the mid-value of the range shall be used.

(4) A source may petition the commissioner to use emission factors and control efficiencies other than those referenced in subdivisions (1), (2), and (3) if adequate support documentation is submitted.
