Sec. 60.302  Standard for particulate matter.

    (a) On and after the 60th day of achieving the maximum production 
rate at which the affected facility will be operated, but no later than 
180 days after initial startup, no owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall cause to be discharged into the 
atmosphere any gases which exhibit greater than 0 percent opacity from 
any:
    (1) Column dryer with column plate perforation exceeding 2.4 mm 
diameter (ca. 0.094 inch).
    (2) Rack dryer in which exhaust gases pass through a screen filter 
coarser than 50 mesh.
    (b) On and after the date on which the performance test required to 
be conducted by Sec. 60.8 is completed, no owner or operator subject to 
the provisions of this subpart shall cause to be discharged into the 
atmosphere from any affected facility except a grain dryer any process 
emission which:
    (1) Contains particulate matter in excess of 0.023 g/dscm (ca. 0.01 
gr/dscf).
    (2) Exhibits greater than 0 percent opacity.
    (c) On and after the 60th day of achieving the maximum production 
rate at which the affected facility will be operated, but no later than 
180 days after initial startup, no owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall cause to be discharged into the 
atmosphere any fugitive emission from:
    (1) Any individual truck unloading station, railcar unloading 
station, or railcar loading station, which exhibits greater than 5 
percent opacity.
    (2) Any grain handling operation which exhibits greater than 0 
percent opacity.
    (3) Any truck loading station which exhibits greater than 10 percent 
opacity.
    (4) Any barge or ship loading station which exhibits greater than 20 
percent opacity.

[[Page 429]]

    (d) The owner or operator of any barge or ship unloading station 
shall operate as follows:
    (1) The unloading leg shall be enclosed from the top (including the 
receiving hopper) to the center line of the bottom pulley and 
ventilation to a control device shall be maintained on both sides of the 
leg and the grain receiving hopper.
    (2) The total rate of air ventilated shall be at least 32.1 actual 
cubic meters per cubic meter of grain handling capacity (ca. 40 ft\3\/
bu).
    (3) Rather than meet the requirements of paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) 
of this section the owner or operator may use other methods of emission 
control if it is demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that 
they would reduce emissions of particulate matter to the same level or 
less.
