EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2010), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
OBSOLETE PROVISIONS
Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before
January 1, 2001, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, or 1986-2000, published in eleven separate
volumes. For the period beginning January 1, 2001, a ``List of CFR
Sections Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.
``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY
The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and
not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001,
or call 202-741-6010.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in
this volume.
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
[[Page vii]]
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Subpart ZZZZ_National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
Source: 69 FR 33506, June 15, 2004, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.6580 What is the purpose of subpart ZZZZ?
Subpart ZZZZ establishes national emission limitations and operating
limitations for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from stationary
reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) located at major and
area sources of HAP emissions. This subpart also establishes
requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the
emission limitations and operating limitations.
[73 FR 3603, Jan. 18, 2008]
Sec. 63.6585 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a stationary
RICE at a major or area source of HAP emissions, except if the
stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand.
(a) A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses
reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and
which is not mobile. Stationary RICE differ from mobile RICE in that a
stationary RICE is not a non-road engine as defined at 40 CFR 1068.30,
and is not used to propel a motor vehicle or a vehicle used solely for
competition.
(b) A major source of HAP emissions is a plant site that emits or
has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07
megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25
tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year, except that for oil and gas
production facilities, a major source of HAP emissions is determined for
each surface site.
(c) An area source of HAP emissions is a source that is not a major
source.
(d) If you are an owner or operator of an area source subject to
this subpart, your status as an entity subject to a standard or other
requirements under this subpart does not subject you to the obligation
to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 71, provided you are not
required to obtain a permit under 40 CFR 70.3(a) or 40 CFR 71.3(a) for a

Where:
Fo = Fuel factor based on the ratio of oxygen volume to the
ultimate CO2 volume produced by the fuel at zero percent
excess air.
0.209 = Fraction of air that is oxygen, percent/100.

measurement data to 15 percent oxygen, as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15JN04.014
Where:
Xco2 = CO2 correction factor, percent.
5.9 = 20.9 percent O2-15 percent O2, the defined
O2 correction value, percent.
(iii) Calculate the NOX and SO2 gas
concentrations adjusted to 15 percent O2 using CO2
as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15JN04.015

are not using an oxidation catalyst, if you comply with the emission
limitation to reduce formaldehyde and you are not using NSCR, or if you
comply with the emission limitation to limit the concentration of
formaldehyde in the stationary RICE exhaust and you are not using an
oxidation catalyst or NSCR, you must petition the Administrator for
operating limitations to be established during the initial performance
test and continuously monitored thereafter; or for approval of no
operating limitations. You must not conduct the initial performance test
until after the petition has been approved by the Administrator.
(g) If you petition the Administrator for approval of operating
limitations, your petition must include the information described in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as
operating limitations;
(2) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and
HAP emissions, identifying how HAP emissions change with changes in
these parameters, and how limitations on these parameters will serve to
limit HAP emissions;
(3) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower
values for these parameters which will establish the limits on these
parameters in the operating limitations;
(4) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure and
the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well as the
relative accuracy and precision of these methods and instruments; and
(5) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these
parameters.
(h) If you petition the Administrator for approval of no operating
limitations, your petition must include the information described in
paragraphs (h)(1) through (7) of this section.
(1) Identification of the parameters associated with operation of
the stationary RICE and any emission control device which could change
intentionally (e.g., operator adjustment, automatic controller
adjustment, etc.) or unintentionally (e.g., wear and tear, error, etc.)
on a routine basis or over time;
(2) A discussion of the relationship, if any, between changes in the
parameters and changes in HAP emissions;
(3) For the parameters which could change in such a way as to
increase HAP emissions, a discussion of whether establishing limitations
on the parameters would serve to limit HAP emissions;
(4) For the parameters which could change in such a way as to
increase HAP emissions, a discussion of how you could establish upper
and/or lower
[[Page 24]]
values for the parameters which would establish limits on the parameters
in operating limitations;
(5) For the parameters, a discussion identifying the methods you
could use to measure them and the instruments you could use to monitor
them, as well as the relative accuracy and precision of the methods and
instruments;
(6) For the parameters, a discussion identifying the frequency and
methods for recalibrating the instruments you could use to monitor them;
and
(7) A discussion of why, from your point of view, it is infeasible
or unreasonable to adopt the parameters as operating limitations.
(i) The engine percent load during a performance test must be
determined by documenting the calculations, assumptions, and measurement
devices used to measure or estimate the percent load in a specific
application. A written report of the average percent load determination
must be included in the notification of compliance status. The following
information must be included in the written report: the engine model
number, the engine manufacturer, the year of purchase, the
manufacturer's site-rated brake horsepower, the ambient temperature,
pressure, and humidity during the performance test, and all assumptions
that were made to estimate or calculate percent load during the
performance test must be clearly explained. If measurement devices such
as flow meters, kilowatt meters, beta analyzers, stain gauges, etc. are
used, the model number of the measurement device, and an estimate of its
accurate in percentage of true value must be provided.

relative accuracy test audit (RATA) of each CEMS according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.8 and according to the applicable performance
specifications of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B as well as daily and
periodic data quality checks in accordance with 40 CFR part 60, appendix
F, procedure 1.
(3) As specified in Sec. 63.8(c)(4)(ii), each CEMS must complete a
minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data
recording) for each successive 15-minute period. You must have at least
two data points, with each representing a different 15-minute period, to
have a valid hour of data.
(4) The CEMS data must be reduced as specified in Sec. 63.8(g)(2)
and recorded in parts per million or parts per billion (as appropriate
for the applicable limitation) at 15 percent oxygen or the equivalent
CO2 concentration.
(b) If you are required to install a continuous parameter monitoring
system (CPMS) as specified in Table 5 of this subpart, you must install,
operate, and maintain each CPMS according to the requirements in Sec.
63.8.
(c) If you are operating a new or reconstructed stationary RICE
which fires landfill gas or digester gas equivalent to 10 percent or
more of the gross heat input on an annual basis, you must monitor and
record your fuel usage daily with separate fuel meters to measure the
volumetric flow rate of each fuel. In addition, you must operate your
stationary RICE in a manner which reasonably minimizes HAP emissions.
(d) If you are operating a new or reconstructed emergency 4SLB
stationary RICE with a site rating of greater than or equal to 250 and
less than or equal to 500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP
emissions, you must install a non-resettable hour meter prior to the
startup of the engine.
(e) If you own or operate an existing stationary RICE with a site
rating of less than 100 brake HP located at a major source of HAP
emissions, an existing stationary emergency RICE, or an existing
stationary RICE located at
[[Page 25]]
an area source of HAP emissions not subject to any numerical emission
standards shown in Table 2d to this subpart, you must operate and
maintain the stationary RICE and after-treatment control device (if any)
according to the manufacturer's emission-related written instructions or
develop your own maintenance plan which must provide to the extent
practicable for the maintenance and operation of the engine in a manner
consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing
emissions.
(f) If you own or operate an existing emergency stationary RICE with
a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake HP located at a major
source of HAP emissions or an existing emergency stationary RICE located
at an area source of HAP emissions, you must install a non-resettable
hour meter if one is not already installed.
(g) If you own or operate an existing non-emergency CI engine
greater than or equal to 300 HP that is not equipped with a closed
crankcase ventilation system, you must comply with either paragraph
(g)(1) or paragraph (g)(2) of this section. Owners and operators must
follow the manufacturer's specified maintenance requirements for
operating and maintaining the open or closed crankcase ventilation
systems and replacing the crankcase filters, or can request the
Administrator to approve different maintenance requirements that are as
protective as manufacturer requirements. Existing CI engines located at
area sources in areas of Alaska not accessible by the FAHS do not have
to meet the requirements of paragraph (g) in this section.
(1) Install a closed crankcase ventilation system that prevents
crankcase emissions from being emitted to the atmosphere, or
(2) Install an open crankcase filtration emission control system
that reduces emissions from the crankcase by filtering the exhaust
stream to remove oil mist, particulates, and metals.
(h) If you operate a new or existing stationary engine, you must
minimize the engine's time spent at idle during startup and minimize the
engine's startup time to a period needed for appropriate and safe
loading of the engine, not to exceed 30 minutes, after which time the
emission standards applicable to all times other than startup in Tables
1a, 2a, 2c, and 2d to this subpart apply.
(i) If you own or operate a stationary engine that is subject to the
work, operation or management practices in items 1, 2, or 4 of Table 2c
to this subpart or in items 1 or 4 of Table 2d to this subpart, you have
the option of utilizing an oil analysis program in order to extend the
specified oil change requirement in Tables 2c and 2d to this subpart.
The oil analysis must be performed at the same frequency specified for
changing the oil in Table 2c or 2d to this subpart. The analysis program
must at a minimum analyze the following three parameters: Total Base
Number, viscosity, and percent water content. The condemning limits for
these parameters are as follows: Total Base Number is less than 30
percent of the Total Base Number of the oil when new; viscosity of the
oil has changed by more than 20 percent from the viscosity of the oil
when new; or percent water content (by volume) is greater than 0.5. If
all of these condemning limits are not exceeded, the engine owner or
operator is not required to change the oil. If any of the limits are
exceeded, the engine owner or operator must change the oil before
continuing to use the engine. The owner or operator must keep records of
the parameters that are analyzed as part of the program, the results of
the analysis, and the oil changes for the engine. The analysis program
must be part of the maintenance plan for the engine.

Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.6635 How do I monitor and collect data to demonstrate continuous compliance?
(a) If you must comply with emission and operating limitations, you
must monitor and collect data according to this section.
(b) Except for monitor malfunctions, associated repairs, and
required quality assurance or control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments),
you must monitor continuously at all times that the stationary RICE is
operating.
(c) You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities
in data averages and calculations used to report emission or operating
levels. You must, however, use all the valid data collected during all
other periods.
Sec. 63.6640 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limitations and operating limitations?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emission
limitation and operating limitation in Tables 1a and 1b, Tables 2a and
2b, Table 2c, and Table 2d to this subpart that apply to you according
to methods specified in Table 6 to this subpart.
(b) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each
emission limitation or operating limitation in Tables 1a and 1b, Tables
2a and 2b, Table 2c, and Table 2d to this subpart that apply to you.
These instances are deviations from the emission and operating
limitations in this subpart. These deviations must be reported according
to the requirements in Sec. 63.6650. If you change your catalyst, you
must reestablish the values of the operating parameters measured during
the initial performance test. When you reestablish the values of your
operating parameters, you must also conduct a performance test to
demonstrate that you are meeting the required emission limitation
applicable to your stationary RICE.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) For new, reconstructed, and rebuilt stationary RICE, deviations
from the emission or operating limitations that occur during the first
200 hours of operation from engine startup (engine burn-in period) are
not violations. Rebuilt stationary RICE means a stationary RICE that has
been rebuilt as that term is defined in 40 CFR 94.11(a).
(e) You must also report each instance in which you did not meet the
requirements in Table 8 to this subpart that apply to you. If you own or
operate a new or reconstructed stationary RICE with a site rating of
less than or equal to 500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP
emissions (except new or reconstructed 4SLB engines greater than or
equal to 250 and less than or equal to 500 brake HP), a new or
reconstructed stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP
emissions, or any of the following RICE with a site rating of more than
500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP emissions, you do not need
to comply with the requirements in Table 8 to this subpart: An existing
2SLB stationary RICE, an existing 4SLB stationary RICE, an existing
emergency stationary RICE, an existing limited use stationary RICE, or
an existing stationary RICE which fires landfill gas or digester gas
equivalent to 10 percent or more of the gross heat input on an annual
basis. If you own or operate any of the following RICE with a site
rating of more than 500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP
emissions, you do not need to comply with the requirements in Table 8 to
this subpart, except for the initial notification requirements: a new or
reconstructed stationary RICE that combusts landfill gas or digester gas
equivalent to 10 percent or more of the gross heat input on an annual
basis, a new or reconstructed emergency stationary RICE, or a new or
reconstructed limited use stationary RICE.
(f) If you own or operate an existing emergency stationary RICE with
a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake HP located at a major
source of HAP emissions, a new emergency stationary RICE with a site
rating of more than
[[Page 27]]
500 brake HP located at a major source of HAP emissions that was
installed on or after June 12, 2006, or an existing emergency stationary
RICE located at an area source of HAP emissions, you must operate the
engine according to the conditions described in paragraphs (f)(1)
through (4) of this section.
(1) For owners and operators of emergency engines, any operation
other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, and operation
in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted in this
section, is prohibited.
(2) There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary RICE
in emergency situations.
(3) You may operate your emergency stationary RICE for the purpose
of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are
recommended by Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the
vendor, or the insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance
checks and readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours per
year. The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for approval
of additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness
testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator
maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards
require maintenance and testing of emergency RICE beyond 100 hours per
year.
(4) You may operate your emergency stationary RICE up to 50 hours
per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours are counted
towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing. The
50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak
shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an
electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial
arrangement with another entity; except that owners and operators may
operate the emergency engine for a maximum of 15 hours per year as part
of a demand response program if the regional transmission organization
or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has
determined there are emergency conditions that could lead to a potential
electrical blackout, such as unusually low frequency, equipment
overload, capacity or energy deficiency, or unacceptable voltage level.
The engine may not be operated for more than 30 minutes prior to the
time when the emergency condition is expected to occur, and the engine
operation must be terminated immediately after the facility is notified
that the emergency condition is no longer imminent. The 15 hours per
year of demand response operation are counted as part of the 50 hours of
operation per year provided for non-emergency situations. The supply of
emergency power to another entity or entities pursuant to financial
arrangement is not limited by this paragraph (f)(4), as long as the
power provided by the financial arrangement is limited to emergency
power.

Sec. 63.6675 What definitions apply to this subpart?
Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act (CAA);
in 40 CFR 63.2, the General Provisions of this part; and in this section
as follows:
Area source means any stationary source of HAP that is not a major
source as defined in part 63.
Associated equipment as used in this subpart and as referred to in
section 112(n)(4) of the CAA, means equipment associated with an oil or
natural gas exploration or production well, and includes all equipment
from the well bore to the point of custody transfer, except glycol
dehydration units, storage vessels with potential for flash emissions,
combustion turbines, and stationary RICE.
Black start engine means an engine whose only purpose is to start up
a combustion turbine.
CAA means the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., as amended by
Public Law 101-549, 104 Stat. 2399).
Compression ignition means relating to a type of stationary internal
combustion engine that is not a spark ignition engine.
Custody transfer means the transfer of hydrocarbon liquids or
natural gas: After processing and/or treatment in the producing
operations, or from storage vessels or automatic transfer facilities or
other such equipment, including product loading racks, to pipelines or
any other forms of transportation. For the purposes of this subpart, the
point at which such liquids or natural gas enters a natural gas
processing plant is a point of custody transfer.
Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:
[[Page 33]]
(1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart, including but not limited to any emission limitation or
operating limitation;
(2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to implement
an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is included in the
operating permit for any affected source required to obtain such a
permit; or
(3) Fails to meet any emission limitation or operating limitation in
this subpart during malfunction, regardless or whether or not such
failure is permitted by this subpart.
(4) Fails to satisfy the general duty to minimize emissions
established by Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i).
Diesel engine means any stationary RICE in which a high boiling
point liquid fuel injected into the combustion chamber ignites when the
air charge has been compressed to a temperature sufficiently high for
auto-ignition. This process is also known as compression ignition.
Diesel fuel means any liquid obtained from the distillation of
petroleum with a boiling point of approximately 150 to 360 degrees
Celsius. One commonly used form is fuel oil number 2. Diesel fuel also
includes any non-distillate fuel with comparable physical and chemical
properties (e.g. biodiesel) that is suitable for use in compression
ignition engines.
Digester gas means any gaseous by-product of wastewater treatment
typically formed through the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste
materials and composed principally of methane and CO2.

engine whose operation is limited to emergency situations and required
testing and maintenance. Examples include stationary ICE used to produce
power for critical networks or equipment (including power supplied to
portions of a facility) when electric power from the local utility (or
the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power
production) is interrupted, or stationary ICE used to pump water in the
case of fire or flood, etc. Stationary CI ICE used for peak shaving are
not considered emergency stationary ICE. Stationary CI ICE used to
supply power to an electric grid or that supply non-emergency power as
part of a financial arrangement with another entity are not considered
to be emergency engines, except as permitted under Sec. 63.6640(f).
Emergency stationary RICE with a site-rating of more than 500 brake HP
located at a major source of HAP emissions that were installed prior to
June 12, 2006, may be operated for the purpose of maintenance checks and
readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by the
manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the
engine. Required testing of such units should be minimized, but there is
no time limit on the use of emergency stationary RICE in emergency
situations and for routine testing and maintenance. Emergency stationary
RICE with a site-rating of more than 500 brake HP located at a major
source of HAP emissions that were installed prior to June 12, 2006, may
also operate an additional 50 hours per year in non-emergency
situations. All other emergency stationary RICE must comply with the
requirements specified in Sec. 63.6640(f).
Engine startup means the time from initial start until applied load
and engine and associated equipment reaches steady state or normal
operation. For stationary engine with catalytic controls, engine startup
means the time from initial start until applied load and engine and
associated equipment, including the catalyst, reaches steady state or
normal operation.
Four-stroke engine means any type of engine which completes the
power cycle in two crankshaft revolutions, with intake and compression
strokes in the first revolution and power and exhaust strokes in the
second revolution.
Gaseous fuel means a material used for combustion which is in the
gaseous state at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure

Glycol dehydration unit means a device in which a liquid glycol
(including, but not limited to, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or
triethylene glycol) absorbent directly contacts a natural gas stream and
absorbs water in a contact tower or absorption column (absorber). The
glycol contacts and absorbs water vapor and other gas stream
constituents from the natural gas and becomes ``rich'' glycol. This
glycol is then regenerated in the glycol dehydration unit reboiler. The
``lean'' glycol is then recycled.
Hazardous air pollutants (HAP) means any air pollutants listed in or
pursuant to section 112(b) of the CAA.
ISO standard day conditions means 288 degrees Kelvin (15 degrees
Celsius), 60 percent relative humidity and 101.3 kilopascals pressure.

kerosene/naphtha (jet fuel), and gasoline.
Major Source, as used in this subpart, shall have the same meaning
as in Sec. 63.2, except that:
(1) Emissions from any oil or gas exploration or production well
(with its associated equipment (as defined in this section)) and
emissions from any pipeline compressor station or pump station shall not
be aggregated with emissions from other similar units, to determine
whether such emission points or stations are major sources, even when
emission points are in a contiguous area or under common control;
(2) For oil and gas production facilities, emissions from processes,
operations, or equipment that are not part of the same oil and gas
production facility, as defined in Sec. 63.1271 of subpart HHH of this
part, shall not be aggregated;
(3) For production field facilities, only HAP emissions from glycol
dehydration units, storage vessel with the potential for flash
emissions, combustion turbines and reciprocating internal combustion
engines shall be aggregated for a major source determination; and
(4) Emissions from processes, operations, and equipment that are not
part of the same natural gas transmission and storage facility, as
defined in Sec. 63.1271 of subpart HHH of this part, shall not be
aggregated.
Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably
preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process
equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner which
causes, or has the potential to cause, the emission limitations in an
applicable standard to be exceeded. Failures that are caused in part by
poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.

non-hydrocarbon gases found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's
surface, of which the principal constituent is methane. Natural gas may
be field or pipeline quality.
Non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) means an add-on catalytic

Oil and gas production facility as used in this subpart means any
grouping of equipment where hydrocarbon liquids are processed, upgraded
(i.e., remove impurities or other constituents to meet contract
specifications), or stored prior to the point of custody transfer; or
where natural gas is processed, upgraded, or stored prior to entering
the natural gas transmission and storage
[[Page 35]]
source category. For purposes of a major source determination, facility
(including a building, structure, or installation) means oil and natural
gas production and processing equipment that is located within the
boundaries of an individual surface site as defined in this section.
Equipment that is part of a facility will typically be located within
close proximity to other equipment located at the same facility. Pieces
of production equipment or groupings of equipment located on different
oil and gas leases, mineral fee tracts, lease tracts, subsurface or
surface unit areas, surface fee tracts, surface lease tracts, or
separate surface sites, whether or not connected by a road, waterway,
power line or pipeline, shall not be considered part of the same
facility. Examples of facilities in the oil and natural gas production
source category include, but are not limited to, well sites, satellite
tank batteries, central tank batteries, a compressor station that
transports natural gas to a natural gas processing plant, and natural
gas processing plants.
Oxidation catalyst means an add-on catalytic control device that
controls CO and VOC by oxidation.
Peaking unit or engine means any standby engine intended for use
during periods of high demand that are not emergencies.
Percent load means the fractional power of an engine compared to its
maximum manufacturer's design capacity at engine site conditions.
Percent load may range between 0 percent to above 100 percent.
Potential to emit means the maximum capacity of a stationary source
to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any
physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the stationary
source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment
and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of
material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of
its design if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is
federally enforceable. For oil and natural gas production facilities
subject to subpart HH of this part, the potential to emit provisions in
Sec. 63.760(a) may be used. For natural gas transmission and storage
facilities subject to subpart HHH of this part, the maximum annual
facility gas throughput for storage facilities may be determined
according to Sec. 63.1270(a)(1) and the maximum annual throughput for
transmission facilities may be determined according to Sec.
63.1270(a)(2).
Production field facility means those oil and gas production
facilities located prior to the point of custody transfer.
Production well means any hole drilled in the earth from which crude
oil, condensate, or field natural gas is extracted.
Propane means a colorless gas derived from petroleum and natural
gas, with the molecular structure C3H8.
Residential/commercial/institutional emergency stationary RICE means
an emergency stationary RICE used in residential establishments such as
homes or residences, commercial establishments such as office buildings,
hotels, or stores, or institutional establishments such as medical
centers, research centers, and institutions of higher education.
Responsible official means responsible official as defined in 40 CFR
70.2.
Rich burn engine means any four-stroke spark ignited engine where
the manufacturer's recommended operating air/fuel ratio divided by the
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio at full load conditions is less than or
equal to 1.1. Engines originally manufactured as rich burn engines, but
modified prior to December 19, 2002 with passive emission control
technology for NOX (such as pre-combustion chambers) will be
considered lean burn engines. Also, existing engines where there are no
manufacturer's recommendations regarding air/fuel ratio will be
considered a rich burn engine if the excess oxygen content of the
exhaust at full load conditions is less than or equal to 2 percent.
Site-rated HP means the maximum manufacturer's design capacity at
engine site conditions.
Spark ignition means relating to either: A gasoline-fueled engine;
or any other type of engine a spark plug (or other sparking device) and
with operating characteristics significantly
[[Page 36]]
similar to the theoretical Otto combustion cycle. Spark ignition engines
usually use a throttle to regulate intake air flow to control power
during normal operation. Dual-fuel engines in which a liquid fuel
(typically diesel fuel) is used for CI and gaseous fuel (typically
natural gas) is used as the primary fuel at an annual average ratio of
less than 2 parts diesel fuel to 100 parts total fuel on an energy
equivalent basis are spark ignition engines.
Stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) means any
reciprocating internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion
to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile.
Stationary RICE differ from mobile RICE in that a stationary RICE is not
a non-road engine as defined at 40 CFR 1068.30, and is not used to
propel a motor vehicle or a vehicle used solely for competition.
Stationary RICE test cell/stand means an engine test cell/stand, as
defined in subpart PPPPP of this part, that tests stationary RICE.
Stoichiometric means the theoretical air-to-fuel ratio required for
complete combustion.
Storage vessel with the potential for flash emissions means any
storage vessel that contains a hydrocarbon liquid with a stock tank gas-
to-oil ratio equal to or greater than 0.31 cubic meters per liter and an
American Petroleum Institute gravity equal to or greater than 40 degrees
and an actual annual average hydrocarbon liquid throughput equal to or
greater than 79,500 liters per day. Flash emissions occur when dissolved
hydrocarbons in the fluid evolve from solution when the fluid pressure
is reduced.
Subpart means 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ.
Surface site means any combination of one or more graded pad sites,
gravel pad sites, foundations, platforms, or the immediate physical
location upon which equipment is physically affixed.
Two-stroke engine means a type of engine which completes the power
cycle in single crankshaft revolution by combining the intake and
compression operations into one stroke and the power and exhaust
operations into a second stroke. This system requires auxiliary
scavenging and inherently runs lean of stoichiometric.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05JA04.000
Where:
E = Emission rate of PM, pounds per ton (lb/ton) of stone feed.
Ck = Concentration of PM in the kiln effluent, grain/dry
standard cubic feet (gr/dscf).
Qk = Volumetric flow rate of kiln effluent gas, dry standard
cubic feet per hour (dscf/hr).

This value is zero if there is not a separate cooler exhaust to the
atmosphere.
P = Stone feed rate, tons per hour (ton/hr).
K = Conversion factor, 7000 grains per pound (grains/lb).
(f)(1) If you choose to meet a weighted average emission limit as
specified in item 4 of Table 1 to this subpart, you must calculate a

include kilns you wish to average. Kilns that have a PM emission limit
of 0.60 lb/tsf are ineligible for any averaging.
(g) The weighted average PM emission limit from all kilns and
coolers for which you are averaging must be calculated using Equation 3
of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR05JA04.002
Where:
ETN = Weighted average PM emission limit for all kilns and
coolers being included in averaging at the LMP, lb/ton of stone feed.
Ej = PM emission limit (0.10 or 0.12) for kiln j, or for
kiln/cooler combination j, lb/ton of stone feed.
Pj = Stone feed rate to kiln j, ton/hr.
m = Number of kilns and kiln/cooler combinations you are averaging at
your LMP. You must include the same kilns in the calculation of
ET and ETN. Kilns that have a PM emission limit of
0.60 lb/tsf are ineligible for any averaging.

of this section.
(1) Conduct visual inspections that consist of a visual survey of
the building over the test period to identify if there are VE, other
than condensed water vapor.
(2) Select a position at least 15 but not more 1,320 feet from each
side of the building with the sun or other light source generally at
your back.
(3) The observer conducting the VE checks need not be certified to

(3) If you use wet dust suppression to control PM from PSH
operations, a visible mist is sometimes generated by the spray. The
water mist must not be confused with particulate matter emissions and is
not to be considered VE. When a water mist of this nature is present,
you must observe emissions at a point in the plume where the mist is no
longer visible.
Sec. 63.7113 What are my monitoring installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?

Subpart BBBBB_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Semiconductor Manufacturing
Source: 68 FR 27925, May 22, 2003, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.7180 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission standards.
Sec. 63.7181 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a
semiconductor manufacturing process unit that is a major source of
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions or that is located at, or is
part of, a major source of HAP emissions.
(b) A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or
group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under
common control that emits or has the potential to emit, considering
controls, in the aggregate, any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons per year
(tpy) or more or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tpy or more.
Sec. 63.7182 What parts of my facility does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source that you own or operate that manufactures
semiconductors.
(b) An affected source subject to this subpart is the collection of
all semiconductor manufacturing process units used to manufacture p-type
and n-type semiconductors and active solid-state devices from a wafer
substrate, including research and development activities integrated into
a semiconductor
[[Page 73]]
manufacturing process unit. A semiconductor manufacturing process unit
includes the equipment assembled and connected by ductwork or hard-
piping including furnaces and associated unit operations; associated wet
and dry work benches; associated recovery devices; feed, intermediate,
and product storage tanks; product transfer racks and connected ducts
and piping; pumps, compressors, agitators, pressure-relief devices,
sampling connecting systems, open-ended valves or lines, valves,
connectors, and instrumentation systems; and control devices.
(c) Your affected source is a new affected source if you commence
construction of the affected source after May 8, 2002, and you meet the
applicability criteria in Sec. 63.7181 at the time you commence
construction.
(d) Your affected source is a reconstructed affected source if you
meet the criteria for ``reconstruction,'' as defined in Sec. 63.2.
(e) Your source is an existing affected source if it is not a new or
reconstructed affected source.
Sec. 63.7183 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source, you must
comply with this subpart according to paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this
section.
(1) If you start up your affected source before May 22, 2003, then
you must comply with the emission standards for new and reconstructed
sources in this subpart no later than May 22, 2003.
(2) If you start up your affected source after May 22, 2003, then
you must comply with the emission standards for new and reconstructed
sources in this subpart upon startup of your affected source.
(b) If you have an existing affected source, you must comply with
the emission standards for existing sources no later than 3 years from
May 22, 2003.
(c) If you have an area source that increases its emissions or its
potential to emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP and an
affected source subject to this subpart, paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of
this section apply.
(1) Any portion of your existing facility that is a new affected
source as specified at Sec. 63.7182(c), or a reconstructed affected
source as specified at Sec. 63.7182(d), must be in compliance with this
subpart upon startup.
(2) Any portion of your facility that is an existing affected
source, as specified at Sec. 63.7182(e), must be in compliance with
this subpart by not later than 3 years after it becomes a major source.
(d) You must meet the notification requirements in Sec. 63.7189 and
in subpart A of this part. You must submit some of the notifications
(e.g., Initial Notification) before the date you are required to comply
with the emission limitations in this subpart.
Emission Standards
Sec. 63.7184 What emission limitations, operating limits, and work practice standards must I meet?
(a) If you have a new, reconstructed, or existing affected source,
as defined in Sec. 63.7182(b), you must comply with all applicable
emission limitations in this section on and after the compliance dates
specified in Sec. 63.7183.
(b) Process vents--organic HAP emissions. For each organic HAP
process vent, other than process vents from storage tanks, you must
limit organic HAP emissions to the level specified in paragraph (b)(1)
or (2) of this section. These limitations can be met by venting
emissions from your process vent through a closed vent system to any
combination of control devices meeting the requirements of Sec.
63.982(a)(2).
(1) Reduce the emissions of organic HAP from the process vent stream
by 98 percent by weight.
(2) Reduce or maintain the concentration of emitted organic HAP from
the process vent to less than or equal to 20 parts per million by volume
(ppmv).
(c) Process vents--inorganic HAP emissions. For each inorganic HAP
process vent, other than process vents from storage tanks, you must
limit inorganic HAP emissions to the level specified in paragraph (c)(1)
or (2) of this section. These limitations can be met by venting
emissions from your process vent through a closed vent system to a
halogen scrubber meeting the requirements of Sec. Sec. 63.983 (closed
vent system requirements) and Sec. 63.994 (halogen
[[Page 74]]
scrubber requirements); the applicable general monitoring requirements
of Sec. 63.996; the applicable performance test requirements; and the
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements referenced therein.
(1) Reduce the emissions of inorganic HAP from the process vent
stream by 95 percent by weight.
(2) Reduce or maintain the concentration of emitted inorganic HAP
from the process vent to less than or equal to 0.42 ppmv.
(d) Storage tanks. For each storage tank, 1,500 gallons or larger,
you must limit total HAP emissions to the level specified in paragraph
(d)(1) or (2) of this section if the emissions from the storage tank
vent contains greater than 0.42 ppmv inorganic HAP. These limitations
can be met by venting emissions from your storage tank through a closed
vent system to a halogen scrubber meeting the requirements of Sec. Sec.
63.983 (closed vent system requirements) and 63.994 (halogen scrubber
requirements); the applicable general monitoring requirements of Sec.
63.996; the applicable performance test requirements; and the
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements referenced therein.
(1) Reduce the emissions of inorganic HAP from each storage tank by
95 percent by weight.
(2) Reduce or maintain the concentration of emitted inorganic HAP
from the process vent to less than or equal to 0.42 ppmv.
(e) You must comply with the applicable work practice standards and
operating limits contained in Sec. 63.982(a)(1) and (2). The closed
vent system inspection requirements of Sec. 63.983(c), as referenced by
Sec. 63.982(a)(1) and (2), do not apply.
(f) Process vents--combined HAP emissions. For each combined HAP
process vent, other than process vents from storage tanks, you must
reduce or maintain the concentration of emitted HAP from the process
vent to less than or equal to 14.22 ppmv. These limitations can be met
by venting emissions from your process vent through a closed vent system
to any combination of control devices meeting the requirements of Sec.
63.982(a)(2).
[68 FR 27925, May 22, 2003, as amended at 73 FR 42532, July 22, 2008]
Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.7185 What are my general requirements for complying with this subpart?

[68 FR 27925, May 22, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20467, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.7186 By what date must I conduct performance tests or other initial compliance demonstrations?
For each process vent or storage tank vent emission limitation in
Sec. 63.7184 for which initial compliance is demonstrated by meeting a
percent by weight HAP emissions reduction, or a HAP concentration
limitation, you must conduct performance tests or an initial compliance
demonstration within 180 days after the compliance date that is
specified for your source in Sec. 63.7183 and according to the
provisions in Sec. 63.7(a)(2).
Sec. 63.7187 What performance tests and other compliance procedures must I use?
(a) You must conduct each performance test in Table 1 to this
subpart
[[Page 75]]
that applies to you as specified for process vents in Sec. 63.982(a)(2)
and storage tanks in Sec. 63.982(a)(1). Performance tests must be
conducted under maximum operating conditions or HAP emissions potential.
Section 63.982(a)(1) and (2) only includes methods to measure the total
organic regulated material or total organic carbon (TOC) concentration.
The EPA Methods 26 and 26A are included in Table 1 to this subpart in
addition to the test methods contained within Sec. 63.982(a)(1) and
(2). The EPA Method 26 or 26A must be used for testing regulated
material containing inorganic HAP. Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63,
appendix A, must be used to measure total vapor phase organic and
inorganic HAP concentrations.
(b) If, without the use of a control device, your process vent
stream has an organic HAP concentration of 20 ppmv or less or an
inorganic HAP concentration of 0.42 ppmv or less, or your storage tank
vent stream has an inorganic HAP concentration of 0.42 ppmv or less, you
may demonstrate that the vent stream is compliant by engineering
assessments and calculations or by conducting the applicable performance
test requirements specified in Table 1 to this subpart. Your engineering
assessments and calculations, as with performance tests (as specified in
Sec. 63.982(a)(1) and (2)), must represent your maximum operating
conditions or HAP emissions potential and must be approved by the
Administrator. You must demonstrate continuous compliance by certifying
that your operations will not exceed the maximum operating conditions or
HAP emissions potential represented by your engineering assessments,
calculations, or performance test.
(c) If you are using a control device to comply with the emission
limitations in Sec. 63.7184 and the inlet concentration of HAP to the
control device is 20 ppmv or less, then you may demonstrate that the
control device meets the percent by weight HAP emission reduction
limitation in Sec. 63.7184(c)(1) or (d)(1) by conducting a design
evaluation as specified in paragraph (i) of this section. Your design
evaluation must represent your maximum operating conditions or HAP
emissions potential and must be approved by the Administrator. You must
demonstrate continuous compliance by certifying that your operations
will not exceed the maximum operating conditions or HAP emissions
potential represented by your design evaluation.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) For each monitoring system required in this section, you must
develop and submit for approval a site-specific monitoring plan that
addresses the criteria specified in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of
this section.
(1) Installation of the continuous monitoring system (CMS) sampling
probe or other interface at a measurement location relative to each
affected process unit such that the measurement is representative of
control of the exhaust emissions (e.g., on or downstream of the last
control device);
(2) Performance and equipment specifications for the sample
interface, the pollutant concentration or parametric signal analyzer,
and the data collection and reduction system; and
(3) Performance evaluation procedures and acceptance criteria (e.g.,
calibrations).
(f) In your site-specific monitoring plan, you must also address the
procedural processes in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) Ongoing operation and maintenance procedures in accordance with
the general requirements of Sec. 63.8(c)(1), (3), (4)(ii), (7), and
(8);
(2) Ongoing data quality assurance procedures in accordance with the
general requirements of Sec. 63.8(d); and
(3) Ongoing recordkeeping and reporting procedures in accordance
with the general requirements of Sec. 63.10(c), (e)(1), and (e)(2)(i).
(g) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CMS in
accordance with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(h) You must operate and maintain the CMS in continuous operation
according to the site-specific monitoring plan.
(i) Design evaluation. To demonstrate that a control device meets
the required percent by weight inorganic HAP emission reduction
limitation in Sec. 63.7184(c)(1) or (d)(1), a design evaluation must
address the composition of
[[Page 76]]
the inorganic HAP concentration of the vent stream entering the control
device. A design evaluation also must address other vent stream
characteristics and control device operating parameters as specified in
any one of paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section, depending on
the type of control device that is used. If the vent stream is not the
only inlet to the control device, the efficiency demonstration must also
consider all other vapors, gases, and liquids, other than fuels,
received by the control device.
(1) For a condenser, the design evaluation shall consider the vent
stream flow rate, relative humidity, and temperature and shall establish
the design outlet organic HAP compound concentration level, design
average temperature of the condenser exhaust vent stream, and the design
average temperatures of the coolant fluid at the condenser inlet and
outlet. The temperature of the gas stream exiting the condenser must be
measured and used to establish the outlet organic HAP concentration.
(2) For a carbon adsorption system that regenerates the carbon bed
directly onsite in the control device such as a fixed-bed adsorber, the
design evaluation shall consider the vent stream flow rate, relative
humidity, and temperature and shall establish the design exhaust vent
stream organic compound concentration level, adsorption cycle time,
number and capacity of carbon beds, type and working capacity of
activated carbon used for carbon beds, design total regeneration stream
mass or volumetric flow over the period of each complete carbon bed
regeneration cycle, design carbon bed temperature after regeneration,
design carbon bed regeneration time, and design service life of carbon.
For vacuum desorption, the pressure drop shall be included.
(3) For a carbon adsorption system that does not regenerate the
carbon bed directly onsite in the control device such as a carbon
canister, the design evaluation shall consider the vent stream mass or
volumetric flow rate, relative humidity, and temperature and shall
establish the design exhaust vent stream organic compound concentration
level, capacity of carbon bed, type and working capacity of activated
carbon used for carbon bed, and design carbon replacement interval based
on the total carbon working capacity of the control device and source
operating schedule.
(4) For a scrubber, the design evaluation shall consider the vent
stream composition, constituent concentrations, liquid-to-vapor ratio,
scrubbing liquid flow rate and concentration, temperature, and the
reaction kinetics of the constituents with the scrubbing liquid. The
design evaluation shall establish the design exhaust vent stream organic
compound concentration level and will include the additional information
in paragraphs (i)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section for trays and a packed
column scrubber.
(i) Type and total number of theoretical and actual trays;
(ii) Type and total surface area of packing for entire column, and
for individual packed sections if column contains more than one packed
section.
[68 FR 27925, May 22, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20467, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.7188 What are my monitoring installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
If you comply with the emission limitations of Sec. 63.7184 by
venting the emissions of your semiconductor process vent through a
closed vent system to a control device, you must comply with the
requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
(a) You must meet the applicable general monitoring, installation,
operation, and maintenance requirements specified in Sec. 63.996.
(b) You must meet the monitoring, installation, operation, and
maintenance requirements specified for closed vent systems and
applicable control devices in Sec. Sec. 63.983 through 63.995. If you

Sec. Sec. 63.2 and 63.981, the General Provisions of this part (40 CFR
part 63, subpart A), and in this section as follows:
Combined HAP process vent means a process vent that emits both
inorganic and organic HAP to the atmosphere.
Control device means a combustion device, recovery device, recapture
device, or any combination of these devices used for the primary purpose
of reducing emissions to comply with this subpart. Devices that are
inherent to a process or are integral to the operation of a process are
not considered control devices for the purposes of this subpart, even
though these devices may have the secondary effect of reducing
emissions.
[[Page 80]]
Inorganic HAP process vent means a process vent that emits only
inorganic HAP to the atmosphere.
Organic HAP process vent means a process vent that emits only
organic HAP to the atmosphere.
Process vent means the point at which HAP emissions are released to
the atmosphere from a semiconductor manufacturing process unit or
storage tank by means of a stack, chimney, vent, or other functionally
equivalent opening. The HAP emission points originating from wastewater
treatment equipment, other than storage tanks, are not considered to be
a process vent, unless the wastewater treatment equipment emission
points are connected to a common vent or exhaust plenum with other
process vents.
Semiconductor manufacturing means the collection of semiconductor
manufacturing process units used to manufacture p-type and n-type
semiconductors or active solid state devices from a wafer substrate,
including processing from crystal growth through wafer fabrication, and
testing and assembly. Examples of semiconductor or related solid state
devices include semiconductor diodes, semiconductor stacks, rectifiers,
integrated circuits, and transistors.
Semiconductor manufacturing process unit means the collection of
equipment used to carry out a discrete operation in the semiconductor
manufacturing process. These operations include, but are not limited to,
crystal growing; solvent stations used to prepare and clean materials
for subsequent processing or for parts cleaning; wet chemical stations
used for cleaning (other than solvent cleaning); photoresist
application, developing, and stripping; etching; gaseous operation
stations used for stripping, cleaning, doping, etching, and layering;
separation; encapsulation; and testing. Research and development
operations associated with semiconductor manufacturing and conducted at
a semiconductor manufacturing facility are considered to be
semiconductor manufacturing process units.
Storage tank means a stationary unit that is constructed primarily
from nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, fiberglass, or
plastic) which provides structural support and is designed to hold an
accumulation of liquids or other materials used in or generated by a
semiconductor manufacturing process unit. The following are not storage
tanks for the purposes of this subpart:
(1) Tanks permanently attached to motor vehicles such as trucks,
railcars, barges, or ships;
(2) Flow-through tanks where wastewater undergoes treatment (such as
pH adjustment) before discharge, and are not used to accumulate
wastewater;
(3) Bottoms receiver tanks; and
(4) Surge control tanks.

for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks
Source: 68 FR 18025, Apr. 14, 2003, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.7280 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery
stacks at coke oven batteries. This subpart also establishes
requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with all
applicable emission limitations, work practice standards, and operation
and maintenance requirements in this subpart.
Sec. 63.7281 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a coke oven
battery at a coke plant that is (or is part of) a major source of
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. A major source of HAP is a
plant site that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a
rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of
25 tons or more per year.
Sec. 63.7282 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new or existing affected source at
your coke plant. The affected source is each coke oven battery.

[[Page 83]]
Emission Limitations and Work Practice Standards
Sec. 63.7290 What emission limitations must I meet for capture
systems and control devices applied to pushing emissions?
(a) You must not discharge to the atmosphere emissions of
particulate matter from a control device applied to pushing emissions
from a new or existing coke oven battery that exceed the applicable
limit in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) 0.01 grain per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf) if a cokeside
shed is used to capture emissions;
(2) 0.02 pound per ton (lb/ton) of coke if a moveable hood vented to
a stationary control device is used to capture emissions;
(3) If a mobile scrubber car that does not capture emissions during
travel is used:
(i) 0.03 lb/ton of coke for a control device applied to pushing
emissions from a short battery, or
(ii) 0.01 lb/ton of coke for a control device applied to pushing
emissions from a tall battery; and
(4) 0.04 lb/ton of coke if a mobile control device that captures
emissions during travel is used.
(b) You must meet each operating limit in paragraphs (b)(1) through
(4) of this section that applies to you for a new or existing coke oven
battery.
(1) For each venturi scrubber applied to pushing emissions, you must
maintain the daily average pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate at
or above the minimum levels established during the initial performance
test.
(2) For each hot water scrubber applied to pushing emissions, you
must maintain the daily average water pressure and water temperature at
or above the minimum levels established during the initial performance
test.
(3) For each capture system applied to pushing emissions, you must
maintain the daily average volumetric flow rate at the inlet of the
control device at or above the minimum level established during the
initial performance test; or
(i) For each capture system that uses an electric motor to drive the
fan, you must maintain the daily average fan motor amperes at or above
the minimum level established during the initial performance test; and
(ii) For each capture system that does not use a fan driven by an
electric motor, you must maintain the daily average static pressure at
the inlet to the control device at an equal or greater vacuum than the
level established during the initial performance test or maintain the
daily average fan revolutions per minute (RPM) at or above the minimum
level established during the initial performance test.
(4) For each multicyclone, you must maintain the daily average
pressure drop at or below the minimum level established during the
initial performance test.
[68 FR 18025, Apr. 14, 2003, as amended at 69 FR 60818, Oct. 13, 2004]
Sec. 63.7291 What work practice standards must I meet for fugitive
pushing emissions if I have a by-product coke oven battery with vertical flues?
(a) You must meet each requirement in paragraphs (a)(1) through (7)
of this section for each new or existing by-product coke oven battery
with vertical flues.
(1) Observe and record the opacity of fugitive pushing emissions
from each oven at least once every 90 days. If an oven cannot be
observed during a 90-day period due to circumstances that were not
reasonably avoidable, you must observe the opacity of the first push of
that oven following the close of the 90-day period that is capable of
being observed in accordance with the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a),
and you must document why the oven was not observed within a 90-day
period. All opacity observations of fugitive pushing emissions for
batteries with vertical flues must be made using the procedures in Sec.
63.7334(a).
(2) If two or more batteries are served by the same pushing
equipment and total no more than 90 ovens, the batteries as a unit can
be considered a single battery.
(3) Observe and record the opacity of fugitive pushing emissions for
at least four consecutive pushes per battery each day. Exclude any push
during which the observer's view is obstructed
[[Page 84]]
or obscured by interferences and observe the next available push to
complete the set of four pushes. If necessary due to circumstances that
were not reasonably avoidable, you may observe fewer than four
consecutive pushes in a day; however, you must observe and record as
many consecutive pushes as possible and document why four consecutive
pushes could not be observed. You may observe and record one or more
non-consecutive pushes in addition to any consecutive pushes observed in
a day.
(4) Do not alter the pushing schedule to change the sequence of
consecutive pushes to be observed on any day. Keep records indicating
the legitimate operational reason for any change in your pushing
schedule which results in a change in the sequence of consecutive pushes
observed on any day.
(5) If the average opacity for any individual push exceeds 30
percent opacity for any short battery or 35 percent opacity for any tall
battery, you must take corrective action and/or increase coking time for
that oven. You must complete corrective action or increase coking time
within either 10 calendar days or the number of days determined using
Equation 1 of this section, whichever is greater:
X = 0.55 * Y (Eq. 1)
Where:
X = Number of calendar days allowed to complete corrective action or
increase coking time; and
Y = Current coking time for the oven, hours.
For the purpose of determining the number of calendar days allowed under
Equation 1 of this section, day one is the first day following the day
you observed an opacity in excess of 30 percent for any short battery or
35 percent for any tall battery. Any fraction produced by Equation 1 of
this section must be counted as a whole day. Days during which the oven
is removed from service are not included in the number of days allowed
to complete corrective action.
(6)(i) You must demonstrate that the corrective action and/or
increased coking time was successful. After a period of time no longer
than the number of days allowed in paragraph (a)(5) of this section,
observe and record the opacity of the first two pushes for the oven
capable of being observed using the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a). The
corrective action and/or increased coking time was successful if the
average opacity for each of the two pushes is 30 percent or less for a
short battery or 35 percent or less for a tall battery. If the
corrective action and/or increased coking time was successful, you may
return the oven to the 90-day reading rotation described in paragraph
(a)(1) of this section. If the average opacity of either push exceeds 30
percent for a short battery or 35 percent for a tall battery, the
corrective action and/or increased coking time was unsuccessful, and you
must complete additional corrective action and/or increase coking time
for that oven within the number of days allowed in paragraph (a)(5) of
this section.
(ii) After implementing any additional corrective action and/or
increased coking time required under paragraph (a)(6)(i) or (a)(7)(ii)
of this section, you must demonstrate that corrective action and/or
increased coking time was successful. After a period of time no longer
than the number of days allowed in paragraph (a)(5) of this section, you
must observe and record the opacity of the first two pushes for the oven
capable of being observed using the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a). The
corrective action and/or increased coking time was successful if the
average opacity for each of the two pushes is 30 percent or less for a
short battery or 35 percent or less for a tall battery. If the
corrective action and/or increased coking time was successful, you may
return the oven to the 90-day reading rotation described in paragraph
(a)(1) of this section. If the average opacity of either push exceeds 30
percent for a short battery or 35 percent for a tall battery, the
corrective action and/or increased coking time was unsuccessful, and you
must follow the procedures in paragraph (a)(6)(iii) of this section.
(iii) If the corrective action and/or increased coking time was
unsuccessful as described in paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section, you
must repeat the procedures in paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section until
the corrective action and/or increased coking time is successful.
[[Page 85]]
You must report to the permitting authority as a deviation each
unsuccessful attempt at corrective action and/or increased coking time
under paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section.
(7)(i) If at any time you place an oven on increased coking time as
a result of fugitive pushing emissions that exceed 30 percent for a
short battery or 35 percent for a tall battery, you must keep the oven
on the increased coking time until the oven qualifies for decreased
coking time using the procedures in paragraph (a)(7)(ii) or (a)(7)(iii)
of this section.
(ii) To qualify for a decreased coking time for an oven placed on
increased coking time in accordance with paragraph (a)(5) or (6) of this
section, you must operate the oven on the decreased coking time. After
no more than two coking cycles on the decreased coking time, you must
observe and record the opacity of the first two pushes that are capable
of being observed using the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a). If the
average opacity for each of the two pushes is 30 percent or less for a
short battery or 35 percent or less for a tall battery, you may keep the
oven on the decreased coking time and return the oven to the 90-day
reading rotation described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. If the
average opacity of either push exceeds 30 percent for a short battery or
35 percent for a tall battery, the attempt to qualify for a decreased
coking time was unsuccessful. You must then return the oven to the
previously established increased coking time, or implement other
corrective action(s) and/or increased coking time. If you implement
other corrective action and/or a coking time that is shorter than the
previously established increased coking time, you must follow the
procedures in paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section to confirm that the
corrective action(s) and/or increased coking time was successful.
(iii) If the attempt to qualify for decreased coking time was
unsuccessful as described in paragraph (a)(7)(ii) of this section, you
may again attempt to qualify for decreased coking time for the oven. To
do this, you must operate the oven on the decreased coking time. After
no more than two coking cycles on the decreased coking time, you must
observe and record the opacity of the first two pushes that are capable
of being observed using the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a). If the
average opacity for each of the two pushes is 30 percent or less for a
short battery or 35 percent or less for a tall battery, you may keep the
oven on the decreased coking time and return the oven to the 90-day
reading rotation described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. If the
average opacity of either push exceeds 30 percent for a short battery or
35 percent for a tall battery, the attempt to qualify for a decreased
coking time was unsuccessful. You must then return the oven to the
previously established increased coking time, or implement other
corrective action(s) and/or increased coking time. If you implement
other corrective action and/or a coking time that is shorter than the
previously established increased coking time, you must follow the
procedures in paragraph (a)(6)(ii) of this section to confirm that the
corrective action(s) and/or increased coking time was successful.
(iv) You must report to the permitting authority as a deviation the
second and any subsequent consecutive unsuccessful attempts on the same
oven to qualify for decreased coking time as described in paragraph
(a)(7)(iii) of this section.
(b) As provided in Sec. 63.6(g), you may request to use an
alternative to the work practice standards in paragraph (a) of this
section.
Sec. 63.7292 What work practice standards must I meet for fugitive
pushing emissions if I have a by-product coke oven battery with horizontal flues?
(a) You must comply with each of the requirements in paragraphs
(a)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Prepare and operate by a written plan that will eliminate or
minimize incomplete coking for each by-product coke oven battery with
horizontal flues. You must submit the plan and supporting documentation
to the Administrator (or delegated authority) for approval no later than
90 days after completing all observations and measurements required for
the study in paragraph (a)(3) of this section or April 14, 2004,
whichever is earlier. You must
[[Page 86]]
begin operating by the plan requirements by the compliance date that is
specified in Sec. 63.7283. The written plan must identify minimum flue
temperatures for different coking times and a battery-wide minimum
acceptable flue temperature for any oven at any coking time.
(2) Submit the written plan and supporting documentation to the
Administrator (or delegated authority) for review and approval. Include
all data collected during the study described in paragraph (a)(3) of
this section. If the Administrator (or delegated authority) disapproves
the plan, you must revise the plan as directed by the Administrator (or
delegated authority) and submit the amended plan for approval. The
Administrator (or delegated authority) may require you to collect and
submit additional data. You must operate according to your submitted
plan (or submitted amended plan, if any) until the Administrator (or
delegated authority) approves your plan.
(3) You must base your written plan on a study that you conduct that
meets each of the requirements listed in paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through
(x) of this section.
(i) Initiate the study by July 14, 2003. Notify the Administrator
(or delegated authority) at least 7 days prior to initiating the study
according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7340(f).
(ii) Conduct the study under representative operating conditions,
including but not limited to the range of moisture content and volatile
matter in the coal that is charged.
(iii) Include every oven in the study and observe at least two
pushes from each oven.
(iv) For each push observed, measure and record the temperature of
every flue within 2 hours before the scheduled pushing time. Document
the oven number, date, and time the oven was charged and pushed, and
calculate the net coking time.
(v) For each push observed, document the factors to be used to
identify pushes that are incompletely coked. These factors must include
(but are not limited to): average opacity during the push, average
opacity during travel to the quench tower, average of six highest
consecutive observations during both push and travel, highest single
opacity reading, color of the emissions (especially noting any yellow or
brown emissions), presence of excessive smoke during travel to the
quench tower, percent volatile matter in the coke, percent volatile
matter and percent moisture in the coal that is charged, and the date
the oven was last rebuilt or completely relined. Additional
documentation may be provided in the form of pictures or videotape of
emissions during the push and travel. All opacity observations must be
conducted in accordance with the procedures in Sec. 63.7334(a)(3)
through (7).
(vi) Inspect the inside walls of the oven after each observed push
for cool spots as indicated by a flue that is darker than others (the
oven walls should be red hot) and record the results.
(vii) For each push observed, note where incomplete coking occurs if
possible (e.g., coke side end, pusher side end, top, or center of the
coke mass). For any push with incomplete coking, investigate and
document the probable cause.
(viii) Use the documented factors in paragraph (a)(3)(v) of this
section to identify pushes that were completely coked and those that
were not completely coked. Provide a rationale for the determination
based on the documentation of factors observed during the study.
(ix) Use only the flue temperature and coking time data for pushes
that were completely coked to identify minimum flue temperatures for
various coking times. Submit the criteria used to determine complete
coking, as well as a table of coking times and corresponding
temperatures for complete coking as part of your plan.
(x) Determine the battery-wide minimum acceptable flue temperature
for any oven. This temperature will be equal to the lowest temperature
that provided complete coking as determined in paragraph (a)(3)(ix) of
this section.
(4) You must operate according to the coking times and temperatures
in your approved plan and the requirements in paragraphs (a)(4)(i)
through (viii) of this section.
[[Page 87]]
(i) Measure and record the percent volatile matter in the coal that
is charged.
(ii) Measure and record the temperature of all flues on two ovens
per day within 2 hours before the scheduled pushing time for each oven.
Measure and record the temperature of all flues on each oven at least
once each month.
(iii) For each oven observed in accordance with paragraph (a)(4)(ii)
of this section, record the time each oven is charged and pushed and
calculate and record the net coking time. If any measured flue
temperature for an oven is below the minimum flue temperature for an
oven's scheduled coking time as established in the written plan,
increase the coking time for the oven to the coking time in the written
plan for the observed flue temperature before pushing the oven.
(iv) If you increased the coking time for any oven in accordance
with paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of this section, you must investigate the
cause of the low flue temperature and take corrective action to fix the
problem. You must continue to measure and record the temperature of all
flues for the oven within 2 hours before each scheduled pushing time
until the measurements meet the minimum temperature requirements for the
increased coking time for two consecutive pushes. If any measured flue
temperature for an oven on increased coking time falls below the minimum
flue temperature for the increased coking time, as established in the
written plan, you must increase the coking time for the oven to the
coking time specified in the written plan for the observed flue
temperature before pushing the oven. The oven must continue to operate
at this coking time (or at a longer coking time if the temperature falls
below the minimum allowed for the increased coking time) until the
problem has been corrected, and you have confirmed that the corrective
action was successful as required by paragraph (a)(4)(v) of this
section.
(v) Once the heating problem has been corrected, the oven may be
returned to the battery's normal coking schedule. You must then measure
and record the flue temperatures for the oven within 2 hours before the
scheduled pushing time for the next two consecutive pushes. If any flue
temperature measurement is below the minimum flue temperature for that
coking time established in the written plan, repeat the procedures in
paragraphs (a)(4)(iii) and (iv) of this section.
(vi) If any flue temperature measurement is below the battery-wide
minimum acceptable temperature for complete coking established in the
written plan for any oven at any coking time, you must remove the oven
from service for repairs.
(vii) For an oven that has been repaired and returned to service
after being removed from service in accordance with paragraph (a)(4)(vi)
of this section, you must measure and record the temperatures of all
flues for the oven within 2 hours before the first scheduled pushing
time. If any flue temperature measurement is below the minimum flue
temperature for the scheduled coking time, as established in the written
plan, you must repeat the procedures described in paragraphs (a)(4)(iii)
and (iv) of this section.
(viii) For an oven that has been repaired and returned to service
after removal from service in accordance with paragraph (a)(4)(vi) of
this section, you must report as a deviation to the permitting authority
any flue temperature measurement made during the initial coking cycle
after return to service that is below the lowest acceptable minimum flue
temperature.
(b) As provided in Sec. 63.6(g), you may request to use an
alternative to the work practice standards in paragraph (a) of this
section.

there is no smoke in the open space above
[[Page 88]]
the coke bed and that there is an unobstructed view of the door on the
opposite side of the oven.
(b) As provided in Sec. 63.6(g), you may request to use an
alternative to the work practice standard in paragraph (a) of this
section.
Sec. 63.7294 What work practice standard must I meet for soaking?

prepare and operate at all times according to a written work practice
plan for soaking. Each plan must include measures and procedures to:
(1) Train topside workers to identify soaking emissions that require
corrective actions.
(2) Damper the oven off the collecting main prior to opening the
standpipe cap.
(3) Determine the cause of soaking emissions that do not ignite
automatically, including emissions that result from raw coke oven gas
leaking from the collecting main through the damper, and emissions that
result from incomplete coking.
(4) If soaking emissions are caused by leaks from the collecting
main, take corrective actions to eliminate the soaking emissions.
Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, reseating the
damper, cleaning the flushing liquor piping, using aspiration, putting
the oven back on the collecting main, or igniting the emissions.
(5) If soaking emissions are not caused by leaks from the collecting
main, notify a designated responsible party. The responsible party must
determine whether the soaking emissions are due to incomplete coking. If
incomplete coking is the cause of the soaking emissions, you must put
the oven back on the collecting main until it is completely coked or you
must ignite the emissions.
(b) As provided in Sec. 63.6(g), you may request to use an
alternative to the work practice standard in paragraph (a) of this
section.

than 5 percent of the cross sectional area of the tower may be uncovered
or open to the sky.
(2) You must wash the baffles in each quench tower once each day
that the tower is used to quench coke, except as specified in paragraphs
(b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) You are not required to wash the baffles in a quench tower if
the highest measured ambient temperature remains less than 30 degrees
Fahrenheit throughout that day (24-hour period). If the measured ambient
temperature rises to 30 degrees Fahrenheit or more during the day, you
must resume daily washing according to the schedule in your operation
and maintenance plan.
(ii) You must continuously record the ambient temperature on days
that the baffles were not washed.
(3) You must inspect each quench tower monthly for damaged or
missing baffles and blockage.

pushing if you meet the requirements in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of
this section.
(1) Submit a written notification to the Administrator of your
request to conduct a new performance test to revise the operating limit.
(2) Conduct a performance test to demonstrate that emissions of
particulate matter from the control device do not exceed the applicable
limit in Sec. 63.7290(a).
(3) Establish revised operating limits according to the applicable
procedures in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section.

oven in a battery at least once every 90 days. If an oven cannot be
observed during a 90-day period, observe and record the opacity of the
first push of that oven following the close of the 90-day period that
can be read in accordance with the procedures in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (8) of this section.
(3) Make all observations and calculations for opacity observations
of fugitive pushing emissions in accordance with Method 9 in appendix A
to 40 CFR part 60 using a Method 9 certified observer unless you have an
approved alternative procedure under paragraph (a)(7) of this section.
(4) Record pushing opacity observations at 15-second intervals as
required in section 2.4 of Method 9 (appendix A to 40 CFR part 60). The
requirement in section 2.4 of Method 9 for a minimum of 24 observations
does not apply, and the data reduction requirements in section 2.5 of
Method 9 do not apply. The requirement in Sec. 63.6(h)(5)(ii)(B) for
obtaining at least 3 hours of observations (thirty 6-minute averages) to
demonstrate initial compliance does not apply.
(5) If fewer than six but at least four 15-second observations can
be made, use the average of the total number of observations to
calculate average opacity for the push. Missing one or more observations
during the push (e.g., as the quench car passes behind a building) does
not invalidate the observations before or after the interference for
that push. However, a minimum of four 15-second readings must be made
for a valid observation.
(6) Begin observations for a push at the first detectable movement
of the coke mass. End observations of a push when the quench car enters
the quench tower.
(i) For a battery without a cokeside shed, observe fugitive pushing
emissions from a position at least 10 meters from the quench car that
provides an unobstructed view and avoids interferences from the topside
of the battery. This may require the observer to be positioned at an
angle to the quench car rather than perpendicular to it. Typical
interferences to avoid include emissions from open standpipes and
charging. Observe the opacity of emissions above the battery top with
the sky as the background where possible. Record the oven number of any
push not observed because of obstructions or interferences.
(ii) For a battery with a cokeside shed, the observer must be in a
position that provides an unobstructed view and avoids interferences
from the topside of the battery. Typical interferences to avoid include
emissions from open standpipes and charging. Observations must include
any fugitive emissions that escape from the top of the shed, from the
ends of the shed, or from the area where the shed is joined to the
battery. If the observer does not have a clear view to identify when a
push starts or ends, a second person can be positioned to signal the
start or end of the push and notify the observer when to start or end
the observations. Radio communications with other
[[Page 101]]
plant personnel (e.g., pushing ram operator or quench car operator) may
also serve to notify the observer of the start or end of a push. Record
the oven number of any push not observed because of obstructions or
interferences.
(iii) You may reposition after the push to observe emissions during
travel if necessary.
(7) If it is infeasible to implement the procedures in paragraphs
(a)(1) through (6) of this section for an oven due to physical
obstructions, nighttime pushes, or other reasons, you may apply to your
permitting authority for permission to use an alternative procedure. The
application must provide a detailed explanation of why it is infeasible
to use the procedures in paragraphs (a)(1) through (6) of this section,
identify the oven and battery numbers, and describe the alternative
procedure. An alternative procedure must identify whether the coke in
that oven is not completely coked, either before, during, or after an
oven is pushed.
(8) For each oven observed that exceeds an opacity of 30 percent for
any short battery or 35 percent for any tall battery, you must take
corrective action and/or increase the coking time in accordance with
Sec. 63.7291(a). Maintain records documenting conformance with the
requirements in Sec. 63.7291(a).
(b) For each by-product coke oven battery with horizontal flues
subject to the work practice standards for fugitive pushing emissions in
Sec. 63.7292(a), you must demonstrate continuous compliance by having
met the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section:
(1) Measuring and recording the temperature of all flues on two
ovens per day within 2 hours before the oven's scheduled pushing time
and ensuring that the temperature of each oven is measured and recorded
at least once every month;
(2) Recording the time each oven is charged and pushed and
calculating and recording the net coking time for each oven; and
(3) Increasing the coking time for each oven that falls below the
minimum flue temperature trigger established for that oven's coking time
in the written plan required in Sec. 63.7292(a)(1), assigning the oven
to the oven-directed program, and recording all relevant information
according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7292(a)(4) including, but not
limited to, daily pushing schedules, diagnostic procedures, corrective
actions, and oven repairs.
(c) For each non-recovery coke oven battery subject to the work
practice standards in Sec. 63.7293(a), you must demonstrate continuous
compliance by maintaining records that document each visual inspection
of an oven prior to pushing and that the oven was not pushed unless
there was no smoke in the open space above the coke bed and there was an
unobstructed view of the door on the opposite side of the oven.
(d) For each by-product coke oven battery subject to the work
practice standard for soaking in Sec. 63.7294(a), you must demonstrate
continuous compliance by maintaining records that document conformance
with requirements in Sec. 63.7294(a)(1) through (5).
(e) For each coke oven battery subject to the work practice standard
for quenching in Sec. 63.7295(b), you must demonstrate continuous
compliance according to the requirements of paragraphs (e)(1) through
(3) of this section:
(1) Maintaining baffles in each quench tower such that no more than
5 percent of the cross-sectional area of the tower is uncovered or open
to the sky as required in Sec. 63.7295(b)(1);
(2) Maintaining records that document conformance with the washing,
inspection, and repair requirements in Sec. 63.7295(b)(2), including
records of the ambient temperature on any day that the baffles were not
washed; and
(3) Maintaining records of the source of makeup water to document
conformance with the requirement for acceptable makeup water in Sec.
63.7295(a)(2).

[70 FR 76933, Dec. 28, 2005]
Testing, Fuel Analyses, and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.7510 What are my initial compliance requirements and by what date must I conduct them?
(a) For affected sources that elect to demonstrate compliance with
any of the emission limits of this subpart through performance testing,
your initial compliance requirements include conducting performance
tests according to Sec. 63.7520 and Table 5 to this subpart, conducting
a fuel analysis for each type of fuel burned in your boiler or process
heater according to Sec. 63.7521 and Table 6 to this subpart,
establishing operating limits according to Sec. 63.7530 and Table 7 to
this subpart, and conducting CMS performance evaluations according to
Sec. 63.7525. For affected sources that burn a single type of fuel, you
are exempted from the initial compliance requirements of conducting a
fuel analysis for each type of fuel burned in your boiler or process
heater according to Sec. 63.7521 and Table 6 to this subpart.
(b) For affected sources that elect to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limits for HCl, mercury, or TSM through fuel analysis, your
initial compliance requirement is to conduct a fuel analysis for each
type of fuel burned in your boiler or process heater according to Sec.
63.7521 and Table 6 to this subpart and establish operating limits
according to Sec. 63.7530 and Table 8 to this subpart.
(c) For affected sources that have an applicable work practice
standard, your initial compliance requirements depend on the subcategory
and rated capacity of your boiler or process heater. If your boiler or
process heater is in any of the limited use subcategories or has a heat
input capacity less than 100 MMBtu per hour, your initial compliance
demonstration is conducting a performance test for carbon monoxide
according to Table 5 to this subpart. If your boiler or process heater
is in any of the large subcategories and has a heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater, your initial compliance demonstration is
conducting a performance evaluation of your continuous emission
monitoring system for
[[Page 113]]
carbon monoxide according to Sec. 63.7525(a).
(d) For existing affected sources, you must demonstrate initial
compliance no later than 180 days after the compliance date that is
specified for your source in Sec. 63.7495 and according to the
applicable provisions in Sec. 63.7(a)(2) as cited in Table 10 to this
subpart.
(e) If your new or reconstructed affected source commenced
construction or reconstruction between January 13, 2003 and November 12,
2004, you must demonstrate initial compliance with either the proposed
emission limits and work practice standards or the promulgated emission
limits and work practice standards no later than 180 days after November
12, 2004 or within 180 days after startup of the source, whichever is
later, according to Sec. 63.7(a)(2)(ix).
(f) If your new or reconstructed affected source commenced
construction or reconstruction between January 13, 2003, and November
12, 2004, and you chose to comply with the proposed emission limits and
work practice standards when demonstrating initial compliance, you must
conduct a second compliance demonstration for the promulgated emission
limits and work practice standards within 3 years after November 12,
2004 or within 3 years after startup of the affected source, whichever
is later.
(g) If your new or reconstructed affected source commences
construction or reconstruction after November 12, 2004, you must
demonstrate initial compliance with the promulgated emission limits and
work practice standards no later than 180 days after startup of the
source.
[69 FR 55253, Sept. 13, 2004, as amended at 71 FR 70660, Dec. 6, 2006]
Sec. 63.7515 When must I conduct subsequent performance tests or fuel analyses?
(a) You must conduct all applicable performance tests according to
Sec. 63.7520 on an annual basis, unless you follow the requirements
listed in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section. Annual performance
tests must be completed between 10 and 12 months after the previous
performance test, unless you follow the requirements listed in
paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section.
(b) You can conduct performance tests less often for a given
pollutant if your performance tests for the pollutant (particulate
matter, HCl, mercury, or TSM) for at least 3 consecutive years show that
you comply with the emission limit. In this case, you do not have to
conduct a performance test for that pollutant for the next 2 years. You
must conduct a performance test during the third year and no more than
36 months after the previous performance test.
(c) If your boiler or process heater continues to meet the emission
limit for particulate matter, HCl, mercury, or TSM, you may choose to
conduct performance tests for these pollutants every third year, but
each such performance test must be conducted no more than 36 months
after the previous performance test.
(d) If a performance test shows noncompliance with an emission limit
for particulate matter, HCl, mercury, or TSM, you must conduct annual
performance tests for that pollutant until all performance tests over a
consecutive 3-year period show compliance.
(e) If you have an applicable work practice standard for carbon
monoxide and your boiler or process heater is in any of the limited use
subcategories or has a heat input capacity less than 100 MMBtu per hour,
you must conduct annual performance tests for carbon monoxide according
to Sec. 63.7520. Each annual performance test must be conducted between
10 and 12 months after the previous performance test.
(f) You must conduct a fuel analysis according to Sec. 63.7521 for
each type of fuel burned no later than 5 years after the previous fuel
analysis for each fuel type. If you burn a new type of fuel, you must
conduct a fuel analysis before burning the new type of fuel in your
boiler or process heater. You must still meet all applicable continuous
compliance requirements in Sec. 63.7540.
(g) You must report the results of performance tests and fuel
analyses within 60 days after the completion of the performance tests or
fuel analyses. This report should also verify that the operating limits
for your affected
[[Page 114]]
source have not changed or provide documentation of revised operating
parameters established according to Sec. 63.7530 and Table 7 to this
subpart, as applicable. The reports for all subsequent performance tests
and fuel analyses should include all applicable information required in
Sec. 63.7550.
Sec. 63.7520 What performance tests and procedures must I use?
(a) You must conduct all performance tests according to Sec.
63.7(c), (d), (f), and (h). You must also develop a site-specific test
plan according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7(c) if you elect to
demonstrate compliance through performance testing.
(b) You must conduct each performance test according to the
requirements in Table 5 to this subpart.
(c) New or reconstructed boilers or process heaters in one of the
liquid fuel subcategories that burn only fossil fuels and other gases
and do not burn any residual oil must demonstrate compliance according
to Sec. 63.7506(a).
(d) You must conduct each performance test under the specific
conditions listed in Tables 5 and 7 to this subpart. You must conduct
performance tests at the maximum normal operating load while burning the
type of fuel or mixture of fuels that have the highest content of
chlorine, mercury, and total selected metals, and you must demonstrate
initial compliance and establish your operating limits based on these
tests. These requirements could result in the need to conduct more than
one performance test.
(e) You may not conduct performance tests during periods of startup,
shutdown, or malfunction.
(f) You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance
test required in this section, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(3). Each
test run must last at least 1 hour.
(g) To determine compliance with the emission limits, you must use
the F-Factor methodology and equations in sections 12.2 and 12.3 of EPA
Method 19 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter to convert the
measured particulate matter concentrations, the measured HCl
concentrations, the measured TSM concentrations, and the measured
mercury concentrations that result from the initial performance test to
pounds per million Btu heat input emission rates using F-factors.
Sec. 63.7521 What fuel analyses and procedures must I use?
(a) You must conduct fuel analyses according to the procedures in
paragraphs (b) through (e) of this section and Table 6 to this subpart,
as applicable.
(b) You must develop and submit a site-specific fuel analysis plan
to the EPA Administrator for review and approval according to the
following procedures and requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section.
(1) You must submit the fuel analysis plan no later than 60 days
before the date that you intend to demonstrate compliance.
(2) You must include the information contained in paragraphs
(b)(2)(i) through (vi) of this section in your fuel analysis plan.
(i) The identification of all fuel types anticipated to be burned in
each boiler or process heater.
(ii) For each fuel type, the notification of whether you or a fuel
supplier will be conducting the fuel analysis.
(iii) For each fuel type, a detailed description of the sample
location and specific procedures to be used for collecting and preparing
the composite samples if your procedures are different from paragraph
(c) or (d) of this section. Samples should be collected at a location
that most accurately represents the fuel type, where possible, at a
point prior to mixing with other dissimilar fuel types.
(iv) For each fuel type, the analytical methods, with the expected
minimum detection levels, to be used for the measurement of selected
total metals, chlorine, or mercury.
(v) If you request to use an alternative analytical method other
than those required by Table 6 to this subpart, you must also include a
detailed description of the methods and procedures that will be used.
(vi) If you will be using fuel analysis from a fuel supplier in lieu
of site-specific sampling and analysis, the fuel supplier must use the
analytical methods required by Table 6 to this subpart.
[[Page 115]]
(c) At a minimum, you must obtain three composite fuel samples for
each fuel type according to the procedures in paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of
this section.
(1) If sampling from a belt (or screw) feeder, collect fuel samples
according to paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) Stop the belt and withdraw a 6-inch wide sample from the full
cross-section of the stopped belt to obtain a minimum two pounds of
sample. Collect all the material (fines and coarse) in the full cross-
section. Transfer the sample to a clean plastic bag.
(ii) Each composite sample will consist of a minimum of three
samples collected at approximately equal intervals during the testing
period.
(2) If sampling from a fuel pile or truck, collect fuel samples
according to paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section.
(i) For each composite sample, select a minimum of five sampling
locations uniformly spaced over the surface of the pile.
(ii) At each sampling site, dig into the pile to a depth of 18
inches. Insert a clean flat square shovel into the hole and withdraw a
sample, making sure that large pieces do not fall off during sampling.
(iii) Transfer all samples to a clean plastic bag for further
processing.
(d) Prepare each composite sample according to the procedures in
paragraphs (d)(1) through (7) of this section.
(1) Throughly mix and pour the entire composite sample over a clean
plastic sheet.
(2) Break sample pieces larger than 3 inches into smaller sizes.
(3) Make a pie shape with the entire composite sample and subdivide
it into four equal parts.
(4) Separate one of the quarter samples as the first subset.
(5) If this subset is too large for grinding, repeat the procedure
in paragraph (d)(3) of this section with the quarter sample and obtain a
one-quarter subset from this sample.
(6) Grind the sample in a mill.
(7) Use the procedure in paragraph (d)(3) of this section to obtain
a one-quarter subsample for analysis. If the quarter sample is too
large, subdivide it further using the same procedure.
(e) Determine the concentration of pollutants in the fuel (mercury,
chlorine, and/or total selected metals) in units of pounds per million
Btu of each composite sample for each fuel type according to the
procedures in Table 6 to this subpart.
Sec. 63.7522 Can I use emission averaging to comply with this subpart?
(a) As an alternative to meeting the requirements of Sec. 63.7500,
if you have more than one existing large solid fuel boiler located at
your facility, you may demonstrate compliance by emission averaging
according to the procedures in this section in a State that does not
choose to exclude emission averaging.
(b) Separate stack requirements. For a group of two or more existing

monitoring plan developed according to Sec. 63.7505(d).
(2) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CEMS according
to the requirements in Sec. 63.8 and according to PS 4A of 40 CFR part
60, appendix B.
(3) Each CEMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation
(sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each successive 15-minute
period.
(4) The CEMS data must be reduced as specified in Sec. 63.8(g)(2).
(5) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average emission
rate on a daily basis. A new 30-day rolling average emission rate is
calculated as the average of all of the hourly CO emission data for the
preceding 30 operating days.
(6) For purposes of calculating data averages, you must not use data
recorded during periods of monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs,
out-of-control periods, required quality assurance or control
activities, or when your boiler or process heater is operating at less
than 50 percent of its rated capacity. You must use all the data
collected during all other periods in assessing compliance. Any period
for which the monitoring system is out of control and data are not
available for required calculations constitutes a deviation from the
monitoring requirements.
(b) If you have an applicable opacity operating limit, you must
install, operate, certify and maintain each continuous opacity
monitoring system (COMS) according to the procedures in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (7) of this section by the compliance date specified in

COMS.
(6) You must operate and maintain each COMS according to the
requirements in the monitoring plan and the requirements of Sec.
63.8(e). Identify periods the COMS is out of control including any
periods that the COMS fails to pass a daily calibration drift

audit.
(7) You must determine and record all the 6-minute averages (and 1-
hour block averages as applicable) collected for periods during which
the COMS is not out of control.
(c) If you have an operating limit that requires the use of a CMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain each continuous parameter
monitoring system (CPMS) according to the procedures in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (5) of this section by the compliance date specified in
Sec. 63.7495.
(1) The CPMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation for
each successive 15-minute period. You must have a minimum of four
successive cycles of operation to have a valid hour of data.
(2) Except for monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and
required quality assurance or control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments),

recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, out of
control
[[Page 120]]
periods, or required quality assurance or control activities. You must
use all the data collected during all other periods in assessing
compliance. Any period for which the monitoring system is out-of-control

Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.7535 How do I monitor and collect data to demonstrate continuous compliance?
(a) You must monitor and collect data according to this section and
the site-specific monitoring plan required by Sec. 63.7505(d).
(b) Except for monitor malfunctions, associated repairs, and
required quality assurance or control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments),
you must monitor continuously (or collect data at all required
intervals) at all times that the affected source is operating.
(c) You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, or required quality assurance or control activities
in data averages and calculations used to report emission or operating
levels. You must use all the data collected during all other periods in
assessing the operation of the control device and associated control
system. Boilers and process heaters that have an applicable carbon
monoxide work practice standard and are required to install and operate
a CEMS, may not use data recorded during periods when the boiler or
process heater is operating at less than 50 percent of its rated
capacity.
Sec. 63.7540 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limits and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emission
limit, operating limit, and work practice standard in Tables 1 through 4
to this subpart that applies to you according to the methods specified
in Table 8 to this subpart and paragraphs (a)(1) through (10) of this
section.
(1) Following the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. Sec. 63.7 and
63.7510, whichever date comes first, you must not operate above any of
the applicable maximum operating limits or below any of the applicable
minimum operating limits listed in Tables 2 through 4 to this subpart at
all times except during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction.
Operating limits do not apply during performance tests. Operation above
the established maximum or below the established minimum operating
limits shall constitute a deviation of established operating limits.
(2) You must keep records of the type and amount of all fuels burned
in each boiler or process heater during the reporting period to
demonstrate that all fuel types and mixtures of fuels burned would
either result in lower emissions of TSM, HCl, and mercury, than the
applicable emission limit for each pollutant (if you demonstrate
compliance through fuel analysis), or result in lower fuel input of TSM,
chlorine, and mercury than the maximum values calculated during the last
performance tests (if you demonstrate compliance through performance
testing).
(3) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable HCl emission
limit through fuel analysis and you plan to burn a new type of fuel, you
must recalculate the HCl emission rate using Equation 9 of Sec. 63.7530
according to paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (iii) of this section.
(i) You must determine the chlorine concentration for any new fuel
type in units of pounds per million Btu, based on supplier data or your
own fuel analysis, according to the provisions in your site-specific
fuel analysis plan developed according to Sec. 63.7521(b).
[[Page 125]]
(ii) You must determine the new mixture of fuels that will have the
highest content of chlorine.

heater under these new conditions using Equation 9 of Sec. 63.7530. The
recalculated HCl emission rate must be less than the applicable emission
limit.
(4) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable HCl emission
limit through performance testing and you plan to burn a new type of
fuel or a new mixture of fuels, you must recalculate the maximum
chlorine input using Equation 5 of Sec. 63.7530. If the results of
recalculating the maximum chlorine input using Equation 5 of Sec.
63.7530 are higher than the maximum chlorine input level established
during the previous performance test, then you must conduct a new
performance test within 60 days of burning the new fuel type or fuel
mixture according to the procedures in Sec. 63.7520 to demonstrate that
the HCl emissions do not exceed the emission limit. You must also
establish new operating limits based on this performance test according
to the procedures in Sec. 63.7530(c).
(5) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable TSM emission
limit through fuel analysis, and you plan to burn a new type of fuel,
you must recalculate the TSM emission rate using Equation 10 of Sec.
63.7530 according to the procedures specified in paragraphs (a)(5)(i)
through (iii) of this section.
(i) You must determine the TSM concentration for any new fuel type
in units of pounds per million Btu, based on supplier data or your own
fuel analysis, according to the provisions in your site-specific fuel
analysis plan developed according to Sec. 63.7521(b).
(ii) You must determine the new mixture of fuels that will have the
highest content of TSM.
(iii) Recalculate the TSM emission rate from your boiler or process
heater under these new conditions using Equation 10 of Sec. 63.7530.
The recalculated TSM emission rate must be less than the applicable
emission limit.
(6) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable TSM emission
limit through performance testing, and you plan to burn a new type of
fuel or a new mixture of fuels, you must recalculate the maximum TSM
input using Equation 6 of Sec. 63.7530. If the results of recalculating
the maximum total selected metals input using Equation 6 of Sec.
63.7530 are higher than the maximum TSM input level established during
the previous performance test, then you must conduct a new performance
test within 60 days of burning the new fuel type or fuel mixture
according to the procedures in Sec. 63.7520 to demonstrate that the TSM
emissions do not exceed the emission limit. You must also establish new
operating limits based on this performance test according to the
procedures in Sec. 63.7530(c).
(7) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable mercury
emission limit through fuel analysis, and you plan to burn a new type of
fuel, you must recalculate the mercury emission rate using Equation 11
of Sec. 63.7530 according to the procedures specified in paragraphs
(a)(7)(i) through (iii) of this section.
(i) You must determine the mercury concentration for any new fuel
type in units of pounds per million Btu, based on supplier data or your
own fuel analysis, according to the provisions in your site-specific
fuel analysis plan developed according to Sec. 63.7521(b).
(ii) You must determine the new mixture of fuels that will have the
highest content of mercury.
(iii) Recalculate the mercury emission rate from your boiler or
process heater under these new conditions using Equation 11 of Sec.
63.7530. The recalculated mercury emission rate must be less than the
applicable emission limit.
(8) If you demonstrate compliance with an applicable mercury
emission limit through performance testing, and you plan to burn a new
type of fuel or a new mixture of fuels, you must recalculate the maximum
mercury input using Equation 7 of Sec. 63.7530. If the results of
recalculating the maximum mercury input using Equation 7 of Sec.
63.7530 are higher than the maximum mercury input level established
during the previous performance test, then you must conduct a new
performance test within 60 days of burning the new fuel type or fuel
mixture according to the procedures in Sec. 63.7520 to demonstrate that
the mercury emissions do
[[Page 126]]
not exceed the emission limit. You must also establish new operating
limits based on this performance test according to the procedures in
Sec. 63.7530(c).
(9) If your unit is controlled with a fabric filter, and you
demonstrate continuous compliance using a bag leak detection system, you
must initiate corrective action within 1 hour of a bag leak detection
system alarm and complete corrective actions as soon as practical, and
operate and maintain the fabric filter system such that the alarm does
not sound more than 5 percent of the operating time during a 6-month
period. You must also keep records of the date, time, and duration of
each alarm, the time corrective action was initiated and completed, and
a brief description of the cause of the alarm and the corrective action
taken. You must also record the percent of the operating time during
each 6-month period that the alarm sounds. In calculating this operating
time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that no
corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If corrective
action is required, each alarm shall be counted as a minimum of 1 hour.
If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective action, the alarm
time shall be counted as the actual amount of time taken to initiate
corrective action.
(10) If you have an applicable work practice standard for carbon
monoxide, and you are required to install a CEMS according to Sec.
63.7525(a), then you must meet the requirements in paragraphs (a)(10)(i)
through (iii) of this section.

carbon monoxide work practice standard in Table 1 to this subpart at all
times except during periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, and when
your boiler or process heater is operating at less than 50 percent of
rated capacity.
(iii) Keep records of carbon monoxide levels according to Sec.
63.7555(b).
(b) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each
emission limit, operating limit, and work practice standard in Tables 1
through 4 to this subpart that apply to you. You must also report each
instance during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction when you did not
meet each applicable emission limit, operating limit, and work practice
standard. These instances are deviations from the emission limits and
work practice standards in this subpart. These deviations must be
reported according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7550.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations
that occur during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not
violations if you demonstrate to the EPA Administrator's satisfaction
that you were operating in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1). The EPA
Administrator will determine whether deviations that occur during a
period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are violations, according to
the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e).

Sec. Appendix A to Subpart DDDDD of Part 63--Methodology and Criteria
for Demonstrating Eligibility for the Health-Based Compliance
Alternatives
1. Purpose/Introduction
This appendix provides the methodology and criteria for
demonstrating that your affected source is eligible for the compliance
alternative for the HCl emission limit and/or the total selected metals
(TSM) emission limit. This appendix specifies emissions testing methods
that you must use to determine HCl, chlorine, and manganese emissions
from the affected units and what parts of the affected source facility
must be included in the eligibility demonstration. You must demonstrate
that your affected source is eligible for the health-based compliance
alternatives using either a look-up table analysis (based on the look-up
tables included in this appendix) or a site-specific compliance
demonstration performed according to the criteria specified in this
appendix. This appendix also specifies how and when you file any
eligibility demonstrations for your affected source and how to show that
your affected source remains eligible for the health-based compliance
alternatives in the future.
2. Who Is Eligible To Demonstrate That They Qualify for the Health-Based
Compliance Alternatives?
Each new, reconstructed, or existing affected source may demonstrate
that they are eligible for the health-based compliance alternatives.
Section 63.7490 of subpart DDDDD defines the affected source and
explains which affected sources are new, existing, or reconstructed.
3. What Parts of My Facility Have To Be Included in the Health-Based
Eligibility Demonstration?
If you are attempting to determine your eligibility for the
compliance alternative for HCl, you must include every emission point
subject to subpart DDDDD that emits either HCl or Cl2 in the
eligibility demonstration.
If you are attempting to determine your eligibility for the
compliance alternative for TSM, you must include every emission point
subject to subpart DDDDD that emits manganese in the eligibility
demonstration.
4. How Do I Determine HAP Emissions From My Affected Source?
(a) You must conduct HAP emissions tests or fuel analysis for every
emission point covered under subpart DDDDD within the affected source
facility according to the requirements in paragraphs (b) through (f) of
this section and the methods specified in Table 1 of this appendix.
(1) If you are attempting to determine your eligibility for the
compliance alternative for HCl, you must test the subpart DDDDD units at
your facility for both HCl and Cl2. When conducting fuel
analysis, you must assume any chlorine detected will be emitted as
Cl2.
(2) If you are attempting to determine your eligibility for the
compliance alternative for TSM, you must test the subpart DDDDD units at
your facility for manganese.
(b) Periods when emissions tests must be conducted. (1) You must not
conduct emissions tests during periods of startup, shutdown, or
malfunction, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1).
(2) You must test under worst-case operating conditions as defined
in this appendix. You must describe your worst-case operating conditions
in your performance test report for the process and control systems (if
applicable) and explain why the conditions are worst-case.
(c) Number of test runs. You must conduct three separate test runs
for each test required in this section, as specified in Sec.
63.7(e)(3). Each test run must last at least 1 hour.
(d) Sampling locations. Sampling sites must be located at the outlet
of the control device and prior to any releases to the atmosphere.
(e) Collection of monitoring data for HAP control devices. During
the emissions test, you must collect operating parameter monitoring
system data at least every 15 minutes during the entire emissions test
and establish the site-specific operating requirements in Tables 3 or 4,
as appropriate, of subpart DDDDD using data from the monitoring system
and the procedures specified in Sec. 63.7530 of subpart DDDDD.
(f) Nondetect data. You may treat emissions of an individual HAP as
zero if all of the test runs result in a nondetect measurement and the
condition in paragraph (f)(1) of this section is met for the manganese
test method. Otherwise, nondetect data for individual HAP must be
treated as one-half of the method detection limit.
(1) For manganese measured using Method 29 in appendix A to 40 CFR
part 60, you analyze samples using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).
(g) You must determine the maximum hourly emission rate for each
appropriate emission point according to Equation 1 of this appendix. An
appropriate emission point is any emission point emitting HCl,
Cl2, or Manganese from a subpart DDDDD emission unit.
[[Page 154]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR28DE05.000
Where:
Ei,s = maximum hourly emission rate for HAP i at each
emission point s associated with a subpart DDDDD emission unit j, lbs/hr
i = applicable HAP, where i = (HCl, Cl2, or Manganese) s =
individual emission point
j = each subpart DDDDD emission unit associated with an emission point,
s
t = total number of subpart DDDDD emission units associated with an
emission point s
Ri,j = emission rate (the 3-run average as determined
according to table 1 of this appendix or the pollutant concentration in
the fuel samples analyzed according to Sec. 63.7521) for HAP i at
subpart DDDDD emission unit j associated with emission point s, lb per
million Btu.
Ij = Maximum rated heat input capacity of each subpart DDDDD
unit j emitting HAP i associated with emission point s, million Btu per
hour.
5. What Are the Criteria for Determining If My Facility Is Eligible for
the Health-Based Compliance Alternatives?
(a) Determine the HAP emissions from each appropriate emission point
within the affected source facility using the procedures specified in
section 4 of this appendix.
(b) Demonstrate that your facility is eligible for either of the
health-based compliance alternatives using either the methods described
in section 6 of this appendix (look-up table analysis) or section 7 of
this appendix (site-specific compliance demonstration).
(c) Your facility is eligible for the health-based compliance
alternative for HCl if one of the following two statements is true:
(1) The calculated HCl-equivalent emission rate is below the
appropriate value in the look-up table;
(2) Your site-specific compliance demonstration indicates that none
of your HI values for HCl and CL2 are greater than 1.0 at
locations where people live or congregate (e.g., schools, daycare
centers, etc.);
(d) Your facility is eligible for the health-based compliance
alternative for TSM if one of the following two statements is true:
(1) The manganese emission rate for all your subpart DDDDD sources
is below the appropriate value in the look-up table;
(2) Your site-specific compliance demonstration indicates that none
of your HQ values for manganese are greater than 1.0 at locations where
people live or congregate (e.g., schools, daycare centers, etc.).
6. How Do I Conduct a Look-Up Table Analysis?
You may use look-up tables to demonstrate that your facility is
eligible for either the compliance alternative for HCl emissions limit
or the compliance alternative for the TSM emissions limit, unless your
permitting authority determines that the look-up table analysis in this
section is not applicable to your facility on technical grounds due to
site-specific variations that are not accounted for in the look-up table
analysis (e.g. presence of complex terrain, rain caps, or building
downwash effects).
(a) HCl compliance alternative. (1) Using the emission rates for HCl
and Cl2 determined according to section 4 of this appendix,
calculate, using equation 2 of this appendix, the toxicity-weighted
emission rate (expressed in HCl-equivalents) for each emission point
that emits HCl or Cl2 from any subpart DDDDD sources. Then,
calculate the weighted average stack height using equation 3 of this
appendix.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR28DE05.001
Where:
TWs = the toxicity-weighted emission rate (in HCl-equivalent)
for each emission point s, lb/hr.
s = individual emission points
EHCl,s = the maximum hourly emission rate for HCl at emission
point s, lb/hr
ECl2,s = the maximum hourly emission rate for Cl2
at emission point s, lb/hr
RVCl2 = the reference value for Cl2
RVHCl = the reference value for HCl
(reference values for HCl and Cl2 can be found at http://
www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/toxsource/summary.html).
[[Page 155]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR28DE05.002
Where:
HHCl = weighted average stack height for determining the
maximum allowable HCl-equivalent emission rate (in Table 2 to this
appendix), m.
s = individual emission points
n = total number of emission points
TWs = toxicity-weighted HCl-equivalent emission rate from
each emission point (from equation 2), lb/hr.
Hs = height of each individual stack, m
TWT = total toxicity-weighted HCl-equivalent emission rate
from the source (summed for all emission points), lb/hr.
(2) Calculate the total toxicity-weighted emission rate for your
affected source by summing the toxicity-weighted emission rate for each
appropriate subpart DDDDD emission point.
(3) Using the weighted average stack height and the minimum distance
between any appropriate subpart DDDDD emission point at the source and
the property boundary, identify the appropriate maximum allowable
toxicity weighted emission rate for your affected source, expressed in
HCl-equivalents, from table 2 of this appendix. Appropriate emission
points are those that emit HCl or Cl2, or both, from subpart
DDDDD units. If one or both of these values does not match the exact
values in the look-up tables, then use the next lowest table value.
(Note: If your weighted average stack height is less than 5 meters (m),
you must use the 5 meter row.) Your affected source is eligible to
comply with the health-based alternative for HCl emissions if the value
calculated in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, determined using the
methods specified in this appendix, does not exceed the appropriate
value in table 2 of this appendix.
(b) TSM Compliance Alternative. Using the emission rates for
manganese determined according to section 4 of this appendix, calculate
the total manganese emission rate for your affected source by summing
the maximum hourly manganese emission rates for all your subpart DDDDD
units. Identify the appropriate allowable emission rate in table 3 of
this appendix for your affected source using the weighted average stack
height value and the minimum distance between any appropriate subpart
DDDDD emission point at the facility and the property boundary.
Appropriate emission points are those that emit manganese from subpart
DDDDD units. If one or both of these values does not match the exact
values in the look-up tables, then use the next lowest table value.
(Note: If your weighted average stack height is less than 5 meters, you
must use the 5 meter row.) Your affected source is eligible to comply
with the health-based alternative for manganese emissions and may
exclude manganese when demonstrating compliance with the TSM emission
limit if the total manganese emission rate, determined using the methods
specified in this appendix, does not exceed the appropriate value
specified in table 3 of this appendix.

7. How Do I Conduct a Site-Specific Compliance Demonstration?
If you fail to demonstrate that your facility is able to comply with
one or both of the alternative health-based emission standards using the
look-up table approach, you may choose to perform a site-specific
compliance
[[Page 156]]
demonstration for your facility. You may use any scientifically-accepted
peer-reviewed risk assessment methodology for your site-specific
compliance demonstration. An example of one approach for performing a
site-specific compliance demonstration for air toxics can be found in
the EPA's ``Air Toxics Risk Assessment Reference Library, Volume 2,
Site-Specific Risk Assessment Technical Resource Document'', which may
be obtained through the EPA's Air Toxics Web site at http://www.epa.gov/
ttn/fera/risk--atoxic.html.
(a) Your facility is eligible for the HCl alternative compliance
option if your site-specific compliance demonstration shows that the
maximum HI for HCl and Cl2 from your subpart DDDDD sources is
less than or equal to 1.0.
(b) Your facility is eligible for the TSM alternative compliance
option if your site-specific compliance demonstration shows that the
maximum HQ for manganese from your subpart DDDDD sources is less than or
equal to 1.0.
(c) At a minimum, your site-specific compliance demonstration must:
(1) Estimate long-term inhalation exposures through the estimation
of annual or multi-year average ambient concentrations;
(2) Estimate the inhalation exposure for the individual most exposed
to the facility's emissions;
(3) Use site-specific, quality-assured data wherever possible;
(4) Use health-protective default assumptions wherever site-specific
data are not available, and;
(5) Contain adequate documentation of the data and methods used for
the assessment so that it is transparent and can be reproduced by an
experienced risk assessor and emissions measurement expert.
(d) Your site-specific compliance demonstration need not:
(1) Assume any attenuation of exposure concentrations due to the
penetration of outdoor pollutants into indoor exposure areas;
(2) Assume any reaction or deposition of the emitted pollutants
during transport from the emission point to the point of exposure.
8. What Must My Health-Based Eligibility Demonstration Contain?
(a) Your health-based eligibility demonstration must contain, at a
minimum, the information specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (6) of
this section.
(1) Identification of each appropriate emission point at the
affected source facility, including the maximum rated capacity of each
appropriate emission point.
(2) Stack parameters for each appropriate emission point including,
but not limited to, the parameters listed in paragraphs (a)(2)(i)
through (iv) below:
(i) Emission release type.
(ii) Stack height, stack area, stack gas temperature, and stack gas
exit velocity.
(iii) Plot plan showing all emission points, nearby residences, and
fenceline.
(iv) Identification of any control devices used to reduce emissions
from each appropriate emission point.
(3) Emission test reports for each pollutant and appropriate
emission point which has been tested using the test methods specified in
Table 1 of this appendix, including a description of the process
parameters identified as being worst case. Fuel analyses for each fuel
and emission point which has been conducted including collection and
analytical methods used.
(4) Identification of the RfC values used in your look-up table
analysis or site-specific compliance demonstration.
(5) Calculations used to determine the HCl-equivalent or manganese
emission rates according to sections 6(a) or (b) of this appendix.
(6) Identification of the controlling process factors (including,
but not limited to, fuel type, heat input rate, type of control devices,
process parameters reflecting the emissions rates used for your
eligibility demonstration) that will become Federally enforceable permit
conditions used to show that your facility remains eligible for the
health-based compliance alternatives.
(b) If you use the look-up table analysis in section 6 of this
appendix to demonstrate that your facility is eligible for either
health-based compliance alternative, your eligibility demonstration must
contain, at a minimum, the information in paragraphs (a) and (b)(1)
through (3) of this section.
(1) Calculations used to determine the weighted average stack height
of the subpart DDDDD emission points that emit manganese, HCl, or
Cl2.
(2) Identification of the subpart DDDDD emission point, that emits
either manganese or HCl and Cl2, with the minimum distance to
the property boundary of the facility.
(3) Comparison of the values in the look-up tables (Tables 2 and 3
of this appendix) to your maximum HCl-equivalent or manganese emission
rates.
(c) If you use a site-specific compliance demonstration as described
in section 7 of this appendix to demonstrate that your facility is
eligible, your eligibility demonstration must contain, at a minimum, the
information in paragraphs (a) and (c)(1) through (7) of this section:
(1) Identification of the risk assessment methodology used.
(2) Documentation of the fate and transport model used.

that apply: meteorological data; building, land use, and terrain data;
receptor locations and population data; and other facility-specific
parameters input into the model.
(4) Documentation of the fate and transport model outputs.
(5) Documentation of any exposure assessment and risk
characterization calculations.
(6) Comparison of the HQ HI to the limit of 1.0.
(d) To be eligible for either health-based compliance alternative,
the parameters that defined your affected source as eligible for the
health-based compliance alternatives must be submitted to your
permitting authority for incorporation into your title V permit, as
federally enforceable limits, at the same time you submit your health-
based eligibility demonstration. These parameters include, but are not
limited to, fuel type, fuel mix (annual average), emission rate, type of
control devices, process parameters (e.g., maximum heat input), and non-
process parameters (e.g., stack height).
9. When Do I Have To Complete and Submit My Health-Based Eligibility
Demonstration?
(a) If you have an existing affected source, you must complete and
submit your eligibility demonstration to your permitting authority,
along with a signed certification that the demonstration is an accurate
depiction of your facility, no later than the date one year prior to the
compliance date of subpart DDDDD. A separate copy of the eligibility
demonstration must be submitted to: U.S. EPA, Risk and Exposure
Assessment Group, Emission Standards Division (C404-01), Attn: Group
Leader, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, electronic mail
address [email protected].
(b) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source that starts
up before the effective date of subpart DDDDD, or an affected source
that is an area source that increases its emissions or its potential to
emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP before the effective
date of subpart DDDDD, then you may submit an eligibility demonstration
at any time after September 13, 2004 but you must comply with the
emissions limits in table 1 to this subpart and all other requirements
of subpart DDDDD until your eligibility demonstration is submitted to
your permitting authority in accordance with the requirements of section
10 of this appendix.
(c) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source that starts
up after the effective date of subpart DDDDD, or an affected source that
is an area source that increases its emissions or its potential to emit
such that it becomes a major source of HAP after the effective date for
subpart DDDDD, then you must follow the schedule in paragraphs (c)(1)
and (2) of this section.
(1) You must complete and submit a preliminary eligibility
demonstration based on the information (e.g., equipment types, estimated
emission rates, process and non-process parameters, reference values,
etc.) that will be used to apply for your title V permit. This
preliminary eligibility demonstration must be submitted with your
application for approval of construction or reconstruction. You must
base your preliminary eligibility demonstration on the maximum emissions
allowed under your title V permit. If the preliminary eligibility
demonstration indicates that your affected source facility is eligible
for either compliance alternative, then you may start up your new
affected source and your new affected source will be considered in
compliance with the alternative standard and subject to the compliance
requirements in this appendix.
(2) You must conduct the emission tests or analyses specified in
section 4 of this appendix upon initial startup and use the results of
these emissions tests to complete and submit your eligibility
demonstration within 180 days following your initial startup date.
10. When Do I Become Eligible for the Health-Based Compliance
Alternatives?
(a) For existing sources, new sources, or reconstructed sources that
start up before the effective date of subpart DDDDD, or an affected
source that is an area source that increases its emissions or its
potential to emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP before the
effective date of subpart DDDDD, you are eligible to comply with a
health-based compliance alternative upon submission of a complete
demonstration meeting all the requirements of paragraph 8 for the
applicable alternative. However, your eligibility demonstration may be
reviewed by the permitting authority or by EPA to verify that the
demonstration meets the requirements of appendix A to this subpart and
is technically sound (i.e. use of the look-up tables is appropriate or
the site-specific assessment is technically valid). If you are notified
by the permitting authority or by EPA of any deficiencies in your
submission, then you are not eligible for the health-based compliance
alternative until the permitting authority or EPA verifies that the
deficiencies are corrected.
(b) For new or reconstructed sources that start up after the
effective date of subpart DDDDD, you are eligible to comply with a the
health-based compliance alternatives upon submission of a complete
preliminary eligibility determination in accordance with paragraph
(c)(1) of section 9 that demonstrates your affected source is eligible
for the applicable alternative. You may then start up your source and
conduct the necessary testing in accordance with paragraph
[[Page 158]]
(c)(2) of section 9. The eligibility demonstration submitted in
accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of section 9 may be reviewed by the
permitting authority or by EPA to verify that the demonstration meets
the requirements of appendix A to this subpart and is technically sound
(i.e. use of the look-up tables is appropriate or the site-specific
assessment is technically valid). If you are notified in writing by the
permitting authority of any deficiencies in your submission, then you
have 30 days to correct the deficiencies unless the permitting authority
agrees to extend this time to a period not to exceed 90 days. If the
deficiencies are not corrected within the applicable time period, you
will not be eligible for the health-based compliance alternative until
the permitting authority verifies that the deficiencies are corrected.
(c) If the title V permit conditions requested in accordance with
paragraph (d) of section 8 are disapproved by the permitting authority,
then your affected source must comply with the applicable emission
limits, operating limits, and work practice standards in subpart DDDDD
by the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.7495. Until the requested
conditions (or alternative conditions meeting the requirements of
paragraph (d) of section 8) are incorporated into the permit, compliance
with the proposed conditions shall be considered compliance with the
health-based alternative.
11. How Do I Ensure That My Facility Remains Eligible for the Health-
Based Compliance Alternatives?
(a) You must update your eligibility demonstration and resubmit it
each time that any of the parameters that defined your affected source
as eligible for the health-based compliance alternatives changes in a
way that could result in increased HAP emissions or increased risk from
exposure to emissions. These parameters include, but are not limited to,
fuel type, fuel mix (annual average), type of control devices, HAP
emission rate, stack height, process parameters (e.g., heat input
capacity), relevant reference values, and locations where people live).
(b) If you are updating your eligibility demonstration to account
for an action in paragraph (a) of this section that is under your
control (e.g. change in heat input capacity of your boiler), you must
submit your revised eligibility demonstration to the permitting
authority prior to making the change and revise your permit to
incorporate the change. If your affected source is no longer eligible
for the health-based compliance alternatives, then you must comply with
the applicable emission limits, operating limits, and compliance
requirements in subpart DDDDD prior to making the process change and
revising your permit. If you are updating your eligibility demonstration
to account for an action in paragraph (a) of this section that is
outside of your control (e.g. change in a reference value), and that
change causes your source to no longer be able to meet the criteria for
the health-based compliance alternatives, your source must comply with
the applicable emission limits, operating limits, and compliance
requirements in subpart DDDDD within 3 years.
(c) Your revised eligibility demonstration may be reviewed by the
permitting authority or EPA to verify that the demonstration meets the
requirements of appendix A to this subpart and is technically sound
(i.e. use of the look-up tables is appropriate or the site-specific
assessment is technically valid). If you are notified by the permitting
authority or EPA of any deficiencies in your submission, you will not
remain eligible for the health-based compliance alternatives until the
permitting authority or EPA verifies that the deficiencies are
corrected.
12. What Records Must I Keep?
You must keep records of the information used in developing the
eligibility demonstration for your affected source, including all of the
information specified in section 8 of this appendix.
13. Definitions
The definitions in Sec. 63.7575 of subpart DDDDD apply to this
appendix. Additional definitions applicable for this appendix are as
follows:
Hazard Index (HI) means the sum of more than one hazard quotient for
multiple substances and/or multiple exposure pathways.
Hazard Quotient (HQ) means the ratio of the predicted media
concentration of a pollutant to the media concentration at which no
adverse effects are expected. For inhalation exposures, the HQ is
calculated as the air concentration divided by the RfC.
Look-up table analysis means a risk screening analysis based on
comparing the HAP or HAP-equivalent emission rate from the affected
source to the appropriate maximum allowable HAP or HAP-equivalent
emission rates specified in Tables 2 and 3 of this appendix.
Reference Concentration (RfC) means an estimate (with uncertainty
spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous inhalation
exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is
likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a
lifetime. It can be derived from various types of human or animal data,
with uncertainty factors generally applied to reflect limitations of the
data used.
Worst-case operating conditions means operation of an affected unit
during emissions testing under the conditions that result in the highest
HAP emissions or that result in
[[Page 159]]
the emissions stream composition (including HAP and non-HAP) that is
most challenging for the control device if a control device is used. For
example, worst-case conditions could include operation of an affected
unit firing solid fuel likely to produce the most HAP.

or document your attempts to obtain a copy of these procedures from the
scrap suppliers servicing your area.
(3) Procedures for visual inspection of a representative portion,
but not less than 10 percent, of all incoming scrap shipments to ensure
the materials meet the specifications.
(i) The inspection procedures must identify the location(s) where
inspections are to be performed for each type of shipment. Inspections
may be performed at the scrap supplier's facility. The selected
location(s) must provide a reasonable vantage point, considering worker
safety, for visual inspection.
(ii) The inspection procedures must include recordkeeping
requirements that document each visual inspection and the results.
[[Page 165]]
(iii) The inspection procedures must include provisions for
rejecting or returning entire or partial scrap shipments that do not
meet specifications and limiting purchases from vendors whose shipments
fail to meet specifications for more than three inspections in one
calendar year.
(iv) If the inspections are performed at the scrap supplier's
facility, the inspection procedures must include an explanation of how
the periodic inspections ensure that not less than 10 percent of scrap
purchased from each supplier is subject to inspection.
(d) For each furan warm box mold or core making line in a new or
existing iron and steel foundry, you must use a binder chemical
formulation that does not contain methanol as a specific ingredient of

(a) As required by Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i), you must always operate and
maintain your iron and steel foundry, including air pollution control
and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with good air pollution
control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels
required by this subpart.
(b) You must prepare and operate at all times according to a written
operation and maintenance plan for each capture and collection system
and control device for an emissions source subject to a PM, metal HAP,
TEA, or VOHAP emissions limit in Sec. 63.7690(a). Your operation and
maintenance plan also must include procedures for igniting gases from
mold vents in pouring areas and pouring stations that use a sand mold
system. This operation and maintenance plan is subject to approval by
the Administrator. Each plan must contain the elements described in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) of this section.
(1) Monthly inspections of the equipment that is important to the
performance of the total capture system (i.e., pressure sensors,
dampers, and damper switches). This inspection must include observations
of the physical appearance of the equipment (e.g., presence of holes in
the ductwork or hoods, flow constrictions caused by dents or accumulated
dust in the ductwork, and fan erosion). The operation and maintenance
plan must also include requirements to repair the defect or deficiency
as soon as practicable.
(2) Operating limits for each capture system for an emissions source
subject to an emissions limit or standard for VOHAP or TEA in Sec.
63.7690(a)(8) through (11). You must establish the operating according
to the requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iii) of this
section.
(i) Select operating limit parameters appropriate for the capture
system design that are representative and reliable indicators of the
performance of the capture system. At a minimum, you must use
appropriate operating limit parameters that indicate the
[[Page 166]]
level of the ventilation draft and damper position settings for the
capture system when operating to collect emissions, including revised
settings for seasonal variations. Appropriate operating limit parameters
for ventilation draft include, but are not limited to: volumetric flow
rate through each separately ducted hood, total volumetric flow rate at
the inlet to the control device to which the capture system is vented,
fan motor amperage, or static pressure. Any parameter for damper
position setting may be used that indicates the duct damper position
related to the fully open setting.
(ii) For each operating limit parameter selected in paragraph
(b)(2)(i) of this section, designate the value or setting for the
parameter at which the capture system operates during the process
operation. If your operation allows for more than one process to be
operating simultaneously, designate the value or setting for the
parameter at which the capture system operates during each possible
configuration that you may operate (i.e., the operating limits with one
furnace melting, two melting, as applicable to your plant).
(iii) Include documentation in your plan to support your selection
of the operating limits established for your capture system. This
documentation must include a description of the capture system design, a
description of the capture system operating during production, a
description of each selected operating limit parameter, a rationale for
why you chose the parameter, a description of the method used to monitor
the parameter according to the requirements of Sec. 63.7740(a), and the
data used to set the value or setting for the parameter for each of your
process configurations.
(3) Preventative maintenance plan for each control device, including
a preventative maintenance schedule that is consistent with the
manufacturer's instructions for routine and long-term maintenance.
(4) A site-specific monitoring plan for each bag leak detection
system. For each bag leak detection system that operates on the
triboelectric effect, the monitoring plan must be consistent with the
recommendations contained in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
guidance document ``Fabric Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance'' (EPA-
454/R-98-015). This baghouse monitoring plan is subject to approval by
the Administrator. The owner or operator shall operate and maintain the
bag leak detection system according to the site-specific monitoring plan
at all times. The plan must address all of the items identified in
paragraphs (b)(4)(i) through (v) of this section.
(i) Installation of the bag leak detection system.
(ii) Initial and periodic adjustment of the bag leak detection
system including how the alarm set-point will be established.
(iii) Operation of the bag leak detection system including quality
assurance procedures.
(iv) How the bag leak detection system will be maintained including
a routine maintenance schedule and spare parts inventory list.
(v) How the bag leak detection system output will be recorded and
stored.
(5) Corrective action plan for each baghouse. The plan must include
the requirement that, in the event a bag leak detection system alarm is
triggered, you must initiate corrective action to determine the cause of
the alarm within 1 hour of the alarm, initiate corrective action to
correct the cause of the problem within 24 hours of the alarm, and
complete the corrective action as soon as practicable. Corrective
actions taken may include, but are not limited to:
(i) Inspecting the baghouse for air leaks, torn or broken bags or
filter media, or any other condition that may cause an increase in
emissions.
(ii) Sealing off defective bags or filter media.
(iii) Replacing defective bags or filter media or otherwise
repairing the control device.
(iv) Sealing off a defective baghouse compartment.
(v) Cleaning the bag leak detection system probe or otherwise
repairing the bag leak detection system.
(vi) Making process changes.
(vii) Shutting down the process producing the PM emissions.
(6) Procedures for providing an ignition source to mold vents of
sand mold
[[Page 167]]
systems in each pouring area and pouring station unless you determine
the mold vent gases either are not ignitable, ignite automatically, or
cannot be ignited due to accessibility or safety issues. You must
document and maintain records of this determination. The determination
of ignitability, accessibility, and safety may encompass multiple
casting patterns provided the castings utilize similar sand-to-metal
ratios, binder formulations, and coating materials. The determination of
ignitability must be based on observations of the mold vents within 5
minutes of pouring, and the flame must be present for at least 15
seconds for the mold vent to be considered ignited. For the purpose of
this determination:
(i) Mold vents that ignite more than 75 percent of the time without
the presence of an auxiliary ignition source are considered to ignite
automatically; and
(ii) Mold vents that do not ignite automatically and cannot be
ignited in the presence of an auxiliary ignition source more than 25
percent of the time are considered to be not ignitable.

(vii) Using the CEMS required in Sec. 63.7740(g), measure and
record the concentration of total hydrocarbons (as hexane) during each
of the Method 18 (or Method 25) sampling runs. You must measure
emissions at the outlet of the control device (or at the outlet of the
emissions source if no control device is present) prior to any releases
to the atmosphere.
(viii) Calculate the average VOHAP (or TGNMO) concentration for the
source test as the arithmetic average of the concentrations measured for
the individual test runs, and determine the average concentration of
total hydrocarbon (as hexane) as measured by the CEMS during all test
runs.
(ix) Calculate the site-specific VOC emissions limit using Equation

outlined in section 13.1 of EPA Method 18 are satisfied. The sampling
option and time must be sufficiently long such that either the TEA
concentration in the field sample is at least 5 times the limit of
detection for the analytical method or the test results calculated using
the laboratory's reported analytical detection limit for the specific
field samples are less than \1/5\ of the applicable emissions limit.
When using Method 18, the adsorbent tube approach, as described in
section 8.2.4 of Method 18, may be required to achieve the necessary
analytical detection limits. The sampling time must be at least 1 hour

rate of PM or total metal HAP at the control device inlet, lb/hr and
Eo is the mass emissions rate of
[[Page 173]]
PM or total metal HAP at the control device outlet, lb/hr.

or total metal HAP concentration for the regulated emissions sources
using Equation 7 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07FE08.006
Where:
Creleased = Calculated concentration of PM (or total metal
HAP) predicted to be released to the atmosphere from the regulated
emissions source, gr/dscf; and
Ci = Concentration of PM (or total metal HAP) in the
uncontrolled regulated exhaust stream, gr/dscf.

limit parameter for a capture system, you must meet the requirements in
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) Locate the flow sensor and other necessary equipment such as
straightening vanes in a position that provides a representative flow
and that reduces swirling flow or abnormal velocity distributions due to
upstream and downstream disturbances.
(ii) Use a flow sensor with a minimum measurement sensitivity of 2
percent of the flow rate.
(iii) Conduct a flow sensor calibration check at least semiannually.
(iv) At least monthly, visually inspect all components, including
all electrical and mechanical connections, for proper functioning.
(2) If you use a pressure measurement device to monitor the
operating limit parameter for a capture system, you must meet the
requirements in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (vi) of this section.
(i) Locate the pressure sensor(s) in or as close as possible to a
position that provides a representative measurement of the pressure and
that minimizes or eliminates pulsating pressure, vibration, and internal
and external corrosion.
(ii) Use a gauge with a minimum measurement sensitivity of 0.5 inch
of water or a transducer with a minimum measurement sensitivity of 1
percent of the pressure range.
(iii) Check the pressure tap for pluggage daily. If a ``non-
clogging'' pressure tap is used, check for pluggage monthly.
(iv) Using a manometer or equivalent device such as a magnahelic or
other pressure indicating transmitter, check gauge and transducer
calibration quarterly.
[[Page 179]]
(v) Conduct calibration checks any time the sensor exceeds the
manufacturer's specified maximum operating pressure range, or install a
new pressure sensor.
(vi) At least monthly, visually inspect all components, including
all electrical and mechanical connections, for proper functioning.
(3) Record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check.
(b) For each negative pressure baghouse or positive pressure
baghouse equipped with a stack that is applied to meet any PM or total
metal HAP emissions limitation in this subpart, you must install,
operate, and maintain a bag leak detection system according to the
requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (7) of this section.
(1) The system must be certified by the manufacturer to be capable
of detecting emissions of particulate matter at concentrations of 10
milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic foot)
or less.
(2) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative particulate matter loadings and the owner or operator shall
continuously record the output from the bag leak detection system using
electronic or other means (e.g., using a strip chart recorder or a data
logger).
(3) The system must be equipped with an alarm that will sound when
an increase in relative particulate loadings is detected over the alarm
set point established in the operation and maintenance plan, and the
alarm must be located such that it can be heard by the appropriate plant
personnel.
(4) The initial adjustment of the system must, at minimum, consist
of establishing the baseline output by adjusting the sensitivity (range)
and the averaging period of the device, and establishing the alarm set
points and the alarm delay time (if applicable).
(5) Following the initial adjustment, do not adjust the sensitivity
or range, averaging period, alarm set point, or alarm delay time without
approval from the Administrator. Except, once per quarter, you may
adjust the sensitivity of the bag leak detection system to account for
seasonable effects including temperature and humidity according to the
procedures in the operation and maintenance plan required by Sec.
63.7710(b).
(6) For negative pressure, induced air baghouses, and positive
pressure baghouses that are discharged to the atmosphere through a
stack, the bag leak detector sensor must be installed downstream of the
baghouse and upstream of any wet scrubber.
(7) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(c) For each wet scrubber subject to the operating limits in Sec.
63.7690(b)(2), you must install and maintain CPMS to measure and record
the pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate according to the
