KRS
224.10-100 requires the Environmental and
Public Protection Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations for the
prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution. This administrative
regulation provides for the regional control of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions
from portland cement manufacturing plants pursuant to the federal mandate
published under the NOx SIP Call. This administrative regulation is not more
stringent nor otherwise different than the provisions allowed under the federal
mandate.
Section 1. Applicability.
This administrative regulation shall apply to a portland cement manufacturing
plant with process rates, on or after January 1, 1995, equal to or greater
than:
(1) Twelve (12) tons of clinker per hour
for a long dry kiln;
(2) Ten (10)
tons of clinker per hour for a long wet kiln;
(3) Sixteen (16) tons of clinker per hour for
a preheater kiln; or
(4) Twenty-two
(22) tons of clinker per hour for a precalciner or preheater/precalciner
kiln.
Section 2. Standard
for Kilns.
(1) On and after May 31, 2004, the
owner or operator of a kiln specified in Section 1 of this administrative
regulation shall, during a control period, operate the kiln so that NOx
emissions do not exceed six and six-tenths (6.6) lbs per ton of clinker
averaged over a thirty (30) day rolling period.
(2) The requirements in subsection (1) of
this section shall not apply during:
(a)
Periods of start-up, shutdown, or malfunction that do not exceed thirty-six
(36) consecutive hours; and

the kilns are located; and
3. The
name and telephone number of the person responsible for demonstrating that the
kiln is in compliance.
(b) By October 31 each year, beginning in
2004, a report that documents the total NOx emissions from the kiln during the
control period.
(2)
Monitoring requirements. Beginning April 1, 2004, the owner or operator of a
kiln specified in Section 1 of this administrative regulation shall monitor NOx
emissions during each control period in accordance with provisions in
40 CFR 96.70
to
96.76.
(3) Recordkeeping requirements. An owner or

shall maintain all records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the

at the facility where the kiln is located;
(b) Be made available to the cabinet or the
U.S. EPA upon request; and
