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, 2014), 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.
PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE
Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried.
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.
``[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.
[[Page vii]]
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
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 QQQ_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Primary Copper Smelting
Source: 67 FR 40491, June 12, 2002, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.1440 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for primary copper smelters. 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. 63.1441 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a primary
copper smelter that is (or is part of) a major source of hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) emissions on the first compliance date that applies to
you, and your primary copper smelter uses batch copper converters as
defined in Sec. 63.1459. Your primary copper smelter is a major source
of HAP if it emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at the
rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of
25 tons or more per year.
Sec. 63.1442 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new and existing affected source at
your primary copper smelter. The affected sources are each copper
concentrate dryer, each smelting furnace, each slag cleaning vessel,
each copper converter department, and the entire group of fugitive
emission sources, as defined in Sec. 63.1459.
(b) An affected source at your primary copper smelter is existing if
you commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source
before April 20, 1998.
(c) An affected source at your primary copper smelter is new if you
commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source on or
after April 20, 1998. An affected source is reconstructed if it meets
the definition of ``reconstruction'' in Sec. 63.2.
Sec. 63.1443 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have an existing affected source, you must comply with
each emission limitation, work practice standard, and operation and
maintenance requirement in this subpart that applies to you no later
than June 13, 2005.
(b) If you have a new affected source and its initial startup date
is on or before June 12, 2002, you must comply with each emission
limitation, work practice standard, and operation and maintenance
requirement in this subpart that applies to you by June 12, 2002.
(c) If you have a new affected source and its initial startup date
is after June 12, 2002, you must comply with each emission limitation,
work practice standard, and operation and maintenance requirement in
this subpart that applies to you upon initial startup.
(d) If your primary copper smelter is an area source that becomes a
major source of HAP, the compliance dates listed in paragraphs (d)(1)
and (2) of this section apply to you.
(1) Any portion of the existing primary copper smelter that is a new
affected source or a new reconstructed source must be in compliance with
this subpart upon startup.
(2) All other parts of the primary copper smelter must be in
compliance with this subpart no later than 3 years after it becomes a
major source.
(e) You must meet the notification and schedule requirements in
Sec. 63.1454. Several of these notifications must be submitted before
the compliance date for your affected source.
Emission Limitations and Work Practice Standards
Sec. 63.1444 What emissions limitations and work practice standards
must I meet for my copper concentrate dryers, smelting furnaces, slag
cleaning vessels, and copper converter departments?
(a) Copper concentrate dryers. For each copper concentrate dryer,
you must
[[Page 28]]
comply with the emission limitation in paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this
section that applies to you.
(1) For each existing copper concentrate dryer, you must not cause
to be discharged to the atmosphere from the dryer vent any gases that
contain total particulate matter in excess of 50 milligrams per dry
standard cubic meter (mg/dscm) as measured using the test methods
specified in Sec. 63.1450(a).
(2) For each new copper concentrate dryer, you must not cause to be
discharged to the atmosphere from the dryer vent any gases that contain
total particulate matter in excess of 23 mg/dscm as measured using the
test methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(a).
(b) Smelting furnaces. For each smelting furnace, you must comply
with the emission limitations and work practice standards in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) For each smelting furnace, you must not cause to be discharged
to the atmosphere any process off-gas that contains nonsulfuric acid
particulate matter in excess of 6.2 mg/dscm as measured using the test
methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(b). Process off-gas from a smelting
furnace is generated when copper ore concentrates and fluxes are being
smelted to form molten copper matte and slag layers.
(2) For each smelting furnace, you must control the process fugitive
emissions released when tapping copper matte or slag from the smelting
furnace according to paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) At all times when copper matte or slag is tapped from the
smelting furnace, you must operate a capture system that collects the
gases and fumes released from the tapping port in use. The design and
placement of this capture system must be such that the tapping port
opening, launder, and receiving vessel (e.g., ladle, slag pot) are
positioned within the confines or influence of the capture system's
ventilation draft during those times when the copper matte or slag is
flowing from the tapping port opening.
(ii) You must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere from the
capture system used to comply with paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section
any gases that contain total particulate matter in excess of 23 mg/dscm
as measured using the test methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(a).
(c) Slag cleaning vessels. For each slag cleaning vessel, you must
comply with the emission limitations and work practice standards in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this section that apply to you.
(1) For each slag cleaning vessel, except as provided for in
paragraph (c)(2) of this section, you must not cause to be discharged to
the atmosphere any process off-gas that contains nonsulfuric acid
particulate matter in excess of 6.2 mg/dscm as measured using the test
methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(b).
(2) As an alternative to complying with the emission limit for
nonsulfuric acid particulate matter in paragraph (c)(1) of this section,
for each existing slag cleaning vessel you may choose to comply with the
emission limit for total particulate matter specified in this paragraph
(c)(2). You must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere any
process off-gas that contains total particulate matter in excess of 46
mg/dscm as measured using the test methods specified in Sec.
63.1450(a).
(3) For each slag cleaning vessel, you must control process fugitive
emissions released when tapping copper matte or slag from the slag
cleaning vessel according to paragraphs (c)(3)(i) and (ii) of this
section.
(i) At all times when copper matte or slag is tapped from the slag
cleaning vessel, you must operate a capture system that collects the
gases and fumes released from the tapping port in use. The design and
placement of this capture system must be such that the tapping port
opening, launder, and receiving vessel (e.g., ladle, slag pot) are
positioned within the confines or influence of the capture system's
ventilation draft during those times when the copper matte or slag is
flowing from the tapping port opening.
(ii) You must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere from the
capture system used to comply with paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section
any gases that contain total particulate matter in excess of 23 mg/dscm
as measured using the test methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(a).
[[Page 29]]
(d) Existing copper converter departments. For each existing copper
converter department, you must comply with the emission limitations and
work practice standards in paragraphs (d)(1) through (6) of this section
that apply to you.
(1) You must operate a capture system that collects the process off
gas vented from each batch copper converter. At all times when one or
more batch copper converters are blowing, you must operate the capture
system according to the written operation and maintenance plan that has
been prepared according to the requirements in Sec. 63.1447(b).
(2) If your copper converter department uses Pierce-Smith
converters, the capture system design must include use of a primary hood
that covers the entire mouth of the converter vessel when the copper
converter is positioned for blowing. Additional hoods (e.g., secondary
hoods) or other capture devices must be included in the capture system
design as needed to achieve the opacity limit in paragraph (d)(4) of
this section. The capture system design may use multiple intake and duct
segments through which the ventilation rates are controlled
independently of each other, and individual duct segments may be
connected to separate control devices.
(3) If your copper converter department uses Hoboken converters, the
capture system must collect all process off-gas vented during blowing
through the side-flue intake on each converter vessel.
(4) You must operate the capture system such that any visible
emissions exiting the roof monitors or roof exhaust fans on the building
housing the copper converter department meet the opacity limit as
specified in paragraphs (d)(4)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) The opacity of any visible emissions exiting the roof monitors
or roof exhaust fans on the building housing the copper converter
department must not exceed 4 percent as determined by a performance test
conducted according to Sec. 63.1450(c).
(ii) The opacity limit in paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this section
applies only at those times when a performance test is conducted
according to Sec. 63.1450(c). The requirements for compliance with
opacity and visible emission standards specified in Sec. 63.6(h) do not
apply to this opacity limit.
(5) You must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere from any
Pierce-Smith converter primary hood capture system or Hoboken converter
side-flue intake capture system any process off-gas that contains
nonsulfuric acid particulate matter in excess of 6.2 mg/dscm as measured
using the test methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(b).
(6) You must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere from any
secondary capture system any gases that contain total particulate matter
in excess of 23 mg/dscm as measured using the test methods specified in
Sec. 63.1450(a).
(e) New copper converter departments. For each new copper converter
department for which construction commenced on or after April 20, 1998,
the use of batch copper converters is prohibited.
(f) Baghouses. For each baghouse applied to meet any total
particulate matter emission limit in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this
section, you must operate the baghouse such that the bag leak detection
system does not alarm for more than 5 percent of the total operating
time in any semiannual reporting period.
(g) Venturi wet scrubbers. For each venturi wet scrubber applied to
meet any total particulate matter emission limit in paragraphs (a)
through (d) of this section, you must maintain the hourly average
pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate at or above the minimum
levels established during the initial or subsequent performance test.
(h) Other control devices. For each control device other than a
baghouse or venturi wet scrubber applied to meet any total particulate
matter emission limit in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section, you
must operate the control device as specified in paragraphs (h)(1) and
(2) of this section.
(1) You must select one or more operating parameters, as appropriate
for the control device design, that can be used as representative and
reliable indicators of the control device operation.
[[Page 30]]
(2) You must maintain the hourly average value for each of the
selected parameters at or above the minimum level or at or below the
maximum level, as appropriate for the selected parameter, established
during the initial or subsequent performance test.
Sec. 63.1445 What work practice standards must I meet for my fugitive
dust sources?
(a) You must control particulate matter emissions from fugitive dust
sources at your primary copper smelter by operating according to a
written fugitive dust control plan that has been approved by the
designated authority. For the purpose of complying with this paragraph
(a) you may use an existing fugitive dust control plan provided that the
plan complies with the requirements of this section. A fugitive dust
control plan is considered to be approved if the plan has been
incorporated in your applicable State implementation plan, and the
document addresses the fugitive dust sources specified in paragraph (b)
of this section and includes the information specified in paragraph (c)
of this section.
(b) Your fugitive dust control plan must address each of the
fugitive dust emission sources listed in paragraphs (b)(1) through (6)
of this section that are located at your primary copper smelter.
(1) On-site roadways used by trucks or other motor vehicles (e.g.,
front-end loaders) when transporting bulk quantities of fugitive dust
materials. Paved roads and parking areas that are not used by these
vehicles do not need to be included in the plan (e.g., employee and
visitor parking lots).
(2) Unloading of fugitive dust materials from trucks or railcars.
(3) Outdoor piles used for storage of fugitive dust materials.
(4) Bedding areas used for blending copper concentrate and other
feed constituents.
(5) Each transfer point in conveying systems used to transport
fugitive dust materials. These points include, but are not limited to,
transfer of material from one conveyor belt to another and transfer of
material to a hopper or bin.
(6) Other site-specific sources of fugitive dust emissions that the
Administrator or delegated permitting authority designate to be included
in your fugitive dust control plan.
(c) Your fugitive dust control plan must describe the control
measures you use to control fugitive dust emissions from each source
addressed in the plan, as applicable and appropriate for your site
conditions. Examples of control measures include, but are not limited
to, locating the source inside a building or other enclosure, installing
and operating a local hood capture system over the source and venting
the captured gas stream to a control device, placing material stockpiles
below grade, installing wind screens or wind fences around the source,
spraying water on the source as weather conditions require, applying
appropriate dust suppression agents on the source, or combinations of
these control measures.
(d) The requirement for you to operate according to a written
fugitive dust control plan must be incorporated in your operating permit
that is issued by the designated permitting authority under part 70 of
this chapter. A copy of your fugitive dust control plan must be sent to
the designated permitting authority on or before the compliance date for
your primary copper smelter, as specified in Sec. 63.1443.
Sec. 63.1446 What alternative emission limitation may I meet for my
combined gas streams?
(a) For situations where you combine gas streams from two or more
affected sources for discharge to the atmosphere through a single vent,
you may choose to meet the requirements in paragraph (b) of this section
as an alternative to complying with the individual total particulate
matter emission limits specified in Sec. 63.1444 that apply to you.
This alternative emission limit for a combined gas stream may be used
for any combination of the affected source gas steams specified in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) Gas stream discharged from a copper concentrate dryer vent that
would otherwise be subject to Sec. 63.1444(a)(1) or (2);
(2) Gas stream discharged from a smelting furnace capture system
that
[[Page 31]]
would otherwise be subject to Sec. 63.1444(b)(2)(ii);
(3) Process off-gas stream discharged from a slag cleaning vessel
that would otherwise be subject to Sec. 63.1444(c)(2);
(4) Gas stream discharged from a slag cleaning vessel capture system
that would otherwise be subject to Sec. 63.1444(c)(3)(ii); and
(5) Gas stream discharged from a batch copper converter secondary
capture system that would otherwise be subject to Sec. 63.1444(d)(5).
(b) You must meet the requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1)
and (2) of this section for the combined gas stream discharged through a
single vent.
(1) For each combined gas stream discharged through a single vent,
you must not cause to be discharged to the atmosphere any gases that
contain total particulate matter in excess of the emission limit
calculated using the procedure in paragraph (b)(2) of this section and
measured using the test methods specified in Sec. 63.1450(a).
(2) You must calculate the alternative total particulate matter
emission limit for your combined gas stream using Equation 1 of this
section. The volumetric flow rate value for each of the individual
affected source gas streams that you use for Equation 1 (i.e., the flow
rate of the gas stream discharged from the affected source but before
this gas stream is combined with the other gas streams) is to be the
average of the volumetric flow rates measured using the test method
specified in Sec. 63.1450(a)(1)(ii):

(2) You must maintain the hourly average value for each of the
selected parameters at or above the minimum level or at or below the
maximum level, as appropriate for the selected parameter, established
during the initial or subsequent performance test.
Operation and Maintenance Requirements
Sec. 63.1447 What are my operation and maintenance requirements?
(a) As required by Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i), you must always operate and
maintain your affected source, 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 system and control
device subject to standards in Sec. 63.1444 or Sec. 63.1446. The plan
must address the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this
section as applicable to the capture system or control device.
(1) Preventative maintenance. You must perform preventative
maintenance for each capture system and control device according to
written procedures specified in your operation and maintenance plan. The
procedures must include a preventative maintenance schedule that is
consistent with the manufacturer's instructions for routine and long-
term maintenance.
(2) Capture system inspections. You must conduct monthly inspections
of the equipment components of the capture system that can affect the
performance of the system to collect the gases and fumes emitted from
the affected source (e.g., hoods, exposed ductwork, dampers, fans)
according to written procedures specified in your operation and
maintenance plan. The inspection procedure must include the requirements
in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section as applicable to
the capture system or control device.
(i) Observations of the physical appearance of the equipment to
confirm the physical integrity of the equipment (e.g., verify by visual
inspection no holes in ductwork or hoods, no flow constrictions caused
by dents, or accumulated dust in ductwork).
(ii) Inspection, and if necessary testing, of equipment components
to confirm that the component is operating as intended (e.g., verify by
appropriate measures that flow or pressure sensors, damper plates,
automated damper switches and motors are operating according to
manufacture or engineering design specifications).
(iii) In the event that a defective or damaged component is detected
during an inspection, you must initiate corrective action according to
written procedures specified in your operation and maintenance plan to
correct the defect or deficiency as soon as practicable.
(3) Copper converter department capture system operating limits. You
must establish, according to the requirements in paragraph (b)(3)(i)
through (iii) of this section, operating limits for the capture system
that are representative and reliable indicators of the performance of
capture system when it is used to collect the process off-gas vented
from batch copper converters during blowing.
(i) Select operating limit parameters appropriate for the capture
system design that are representative and reliable indicators of the
performance of the capture system when it is used to collect the process
off-gas vented from batch copper converters during blowing. At a
minimum, you must use appropriate operating limit parameters that
indicate the level of the ventilation draft and the damper position
settings for the capture system when operating to collect the process
off-gas from the batch copper converters during blowing. Appropriate
operating
[[Page 33]]
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 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 relative to the fully open setting.
(ii) For each operating limit parameter selected in paragraph
(b)(3)(i) of this section, designate the value or setting for the
parameter at which the capture system operates during batch copper
converter blowing. If your blister copper production operations allow
for more than one batch copper converter to be operating simultaneously
in the blowing mode, designate the value or setting for the parameter at
which the capture system operates during each possible batch copper
converter blowing configuration that you may operate at your smelter
(i.e., the operating limits with one converter blowing, with two
converters blowing, with three converters blowing, as applicable to your
smelter).
(iii) Include documentation in the plan to support your selection of
the operating limits established for the capture system. This
documentation must include a description of the capture system design, a
description of the capture system operation during blister copper
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 in Sec.
63.1452(a), and the data used to set the value or setting for the
parameter for each of your batch copper converter configurations.
(4) Baghouse leak detection corrective actions. In the event a bag
leak detection system alarm is triggered, you must initiate corrective
action according to written procedures specified in your operation and
maintenance plan 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 may include, but are not
limited to, the activities listed in paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through (vi)
of this section.
(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
repair the bag leak detection system.
(vi) Shutting down the process producing the particulate emissions.

sampling equipment and operating procedures in Method 5 or 17 when
testing a positive pressure baghouse, but you must use the sample
traverse location and number of sampling points described in Method 5D.
(2) As an alternative to using the applicable method specified in
paragraph (a)(1)(v) of this section, you may determine total particulate
matter emissions from the control device using Method 29 in appendix A
of part 60 of this chapter provided that you follow the procedures and
precautions prescribed in Method 29. If the control device is a positive
pressure baghouse, you must also follow the measurement procedure
specified in sections 4.1 through 4.3 of Method 5D.
(3) You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance
test. Each test run must have a minimum sampling time of 60 minutes and
a minimum sampling volume of 0.85 dscm. For the purpose of determining
compliance with the applicable total particulate matter emission limit,
the arithmetic mean of the results for the three separate test runs is
used.
(4) For a venturi wet scrubber applied to emissions from an affected
source and subject to operating limits in Sec. 63.1444(g) or Sec.
63.1446(d) for pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate, you must
establish site-specific operating limits according to the procedures in
paragraph (a)(4)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) Using the continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) required
in Sec. 63.1452, measure and record the pressure drop and scrubber
water flow rate during each run of the particulate matter performance
test.
(ii) Compute and record the hourly average pressure drop and
scrubber water flow rate for each individual test run. Your operating

(5) For a control device other than a baghouse or venturi wet
scrubber applied to emissions from an affected source and subject to
site-specific operating limit(s) in Sec. 63.1444(h) or Sec. 63.1446(e)
for appropriate, site-specific operating parameters that are
representative and reliable indicators of the control device
performance, you must establish a site-specific operating limit(s)
according to the procedures in paragraph (a)(5)(i) through (iv) of this
section.
[[Page 35]]
(i) Select one or more operating parameters, as appropriate for the
control device design, that can be used as representative and reliable
indicators of the control device operation.
(ii) Using the CPMS required in Sec. 63.1452, measure and record
the selected operating parameters for the control device during each run
of the total particulate matter performance test.
(iii) Compute and record the hourly average value for each of the
selected operating parameters for each individual test run. Your
operating limits are the lowest value or the highest value, as
appropriate for the selected operating parameter, measured in any of the
three runs that meet the applicable emission limit.
(iv) You must prepare written documentation to support your
selection of the operating parameters used for the control device. This
documentation must include a description of each selected parameter, a
rationale for why you chose the parameter, a description of the method
used to monitor the parameter, and the data recorded during the
performance test and used to set the operating limit(s).
(b) Nonsulfuric acid particulate matter emission limits. You must
conduct each performance test to determine compliance with the
nonsulfuric acid particulate matter emission limits in Sec. 63.1444
that apply to you according to the requirements for representative test
conditions specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1) and using the test methods and
procedures in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Determine the concentration of nonsulfuric acid particulate
matter according to the test methods in appendix A to part 60 of this
chapter as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (v) of this
section.
(i) Method 1 to select sampling port locations and the number of
traverse points. Sampling ports must be located at the outlet of the
control device and prior to any releases to the atmosphere.
(ii) Method 2, 2F, or 2G to determine the volumetric flow rate of
the stack gas.

(v) Method 5B to determine the nonsulfuric acid particulate matter
emissions.
(2) You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance
test. Each test run must have a minimum sampling time of 240 minutes and
a minimum sampling volume of 3.4 dscm. For the purpose of determining
compliance with the nonsulfuric acid particulate matter emission limit,
the arithmetic mean of the results for the three separate test runs is

(c) Copper converter department capture system opacity limit. You
must conduct each performance test to determine compliance with the
opacity limit in Sec. 63.1444 using the test methods and procedures in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (9) of this section.
(1) You must conduct the performance test during the period when the
primary copper smelter is operating under conditions representative of
the smelter's normal blister copper production rate. You may not conduct
a performance test during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
Before conducting the performance test, you must prepare a written test
plan specifying the copper production conditions to be maintained
throughout the opacity observation period and including a copy of the
written documentation you have prepared according to paragraph (a)(3) of
this section to support the established operating limits for the copper
converter department capture system. You must submit a copy of the test
plan for review and approval by the Administrator or delegated
authority. During the observation period, you must collect appropriate
process information and copper converter department capture system
operating information to prepare documentation sufficient to verify that
all opacity observations were made during the copper production and
capture system operating conditions specified in the approved test plan.
(2) You must notify the Administrator or delegated authority before
conducting the opacity observations to allow the Administrator or
delegated authority the opportunity to have authorized representatives
attend the
[[Page 36]]
test. Written notification of the location and scheduled date for
conducting the opacity observations must be received by the
Administrator on or before 30 calendar days before this scheduled date.
(3) You must gather the data needed for determining compliance with
the opacity limit using qualified visible emission observers and process
monitors as described in paragraphs (c)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) Opacity observations must be performed by a sufficient number of
qualified visible emission observers to obtain two complete concurrent
sets of opacity readings for the required observation period. Each
visible emission observer must be certified as a qualified observer by
the procedure specified in section 3 of Method 9 in appendix A of part
60 of this chapter. The entire set of readings during the required
observation period does not need to be made by the same two observers.
More than two observers may be used to allow for substitutions and
provide for observer rest breaks. The owner or operator must obtain
proof of current visible emission reading certification for each
observer.
(ii) A person (or persons) familiar with the copper production
operations conducted at the smelter must serve as the indoor process
monitor. The indoor process monitor is stationed at a location inside
the building housing the batch copper converters such that he or she can
visually observe and record operations that occur in the batch copper
converter aisle during the times that the visible emission observers are
making opacity readings. More than one indoor process monitor may be
used to allow for substitutions and provide for rest breaks.
(4) You must make all opacity observations using Method 9 in
appendix A to part 60 of this chapter and following the procedures
described in paragraphs (c)(4)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) Each visible emission observer must make his or her readings at
a position from the outside of the building that houses the copper
converter department such that the observer's line-of-sight is
approximately perpendicular to the longer axis of the converter
building, and the observer has an unobstructed view of the building roof
monitor sections or roof exhaust fan outlets that are positioned over
each of the batch copper converters inside the building. Opacity
readings can only be made during those times when the observer's
position meets the sun orientation and other conditions specified in
section 2.1 of Method 9.
(ii) At 15-second intervals, each visible emission observer views
the building roof monitor sections or roof exhaust fan outlets that are
positioned over each of the batch copper converters inside the building
and reads the opacity of the visible plumes. If no plume is visible, the
observer records zero as the opacity value for the 15-second interval.
In situations when it is possible for an observer to distinguish two or
more visible emission plumes from the building roof monitor sections or
roof exhaust fan outlets, the observer must identify, to the extent
feasible, the plume having the highest opacity and record his or her
opacity reading for that plume as the opacity value for the 15-second
interval.
(5) You must make opacity observations for a period of sufficient
duration to obtain a minimum of 120 1-minute intervals during which at
least one copper converter is blowing and no interferences have occurred
from other copper production events, as specified in paragraph (c)(7) of
this section, which generate visible emissions inside the building that
potentially can interfere with the visible emissions from the converter
capture systems as seen by the outside observers. To obtain the required
number of 1-minute intervals, the observation period may be divided into
two or more segments performed on the same day or on different days if
conditions prevent the required number of opacity readings from being
obtained during one continuous time period. Examples of these conditions
include, but are not limited to, changes in the sun's orientation
relative to visible emission observers' positions such that the Method 9
conditions are no longer met or an unexpected thunder storm. If the
total observation period is divided into two or more segments, all
opacity observations must be made during the same set of copper
production conditions described in
[[Page 37]]
your approved test plan as required by paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
(6) You must gather indoor process information during all times that
the visible emission observers are making opacity readings outside the
building housing the copper converter department. The indoor process
monitor must continually observe the operations occurring in the copper
converter department and prepare a written record of his or her
observations using the procedure specified in paragraphs (c)(6)(i)
through (iv) of this section.
(i) At the beginning of each observation period or segment, the
clock time setting on the watch or clock to be used by the indoor
process monitor must be synchronized with the clock time settings for
the timepieces to be used by the outdoor opacity observers.
(ii) During each period or segment when opacity readings are being
made by the visible emission observers, the indoor process monitor must
continuously observe the operations occurring in the copper converter
department and record his or her observations in a log book, on data
sheets, or other type of permanent written format.
(iii) When a batch copper converter is blowing, a record must be
prepared for the converter that includes, but is not limited to, the
clock times for when blowing begins and when blowing ends and the
converter blowing rate. This information may be recorded by the indoor
process monitor or by a separate, automated computer data system.
(iv) The process monitor must record each event other than converter
blowing that occurs in or nearby the converter aisle that he or she
observes to generate visible emissions inside the building. The recorded
entry for each event must include, but is not limited to, a description
of the event and the clock times when the event begins and when the
event ends.
(7) You must prepare a summary of the data for the entire
observation period using the information recorded during the observation
period by the outdoor visible emission observers and the indoor process
monitor and the procedure specified in paragraphs (c)(7)(i) through (iv)
of this section.
(i) Using the field data sheets, identify the 1-minute clock times
for which a total of eight opacity readings were made and recorded by
both observers at 15-second intervals according to the test procedures
(i.e., a total of four opacity values have been recorded for the 1-
minute interval by each of the two observers). Calculate the average of
the eight 15-second interval readings recorded on the field data sheets
by the two observers during the clock time minute interval (add the four
consecutive 15-second interval opacity readings made by Observer A
during the specified clock time minute, plus the four consecutive 15-
second interval opacity readings made by Observer B during the same
clock time minute, and divide the resulting total by eight). Record the
clock time and the opacity average for the 1-minute interval on a data
summary sheet. Figure 1 of this subpart shows an example of the format
for the data summary sheet you may use, but are not required to use.
(ii) Using the data summary sheets prepared according to paragraph
(c)(7)(i) of this section and the process information recorded according
to paragraph (c)(6)(iii) of this section, identify those 1-minute
intervals for which at least one of the batch copper converters was
blowing.
(iii) Using the data summary sheets prepared according to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of this section and the process information recorded
according to paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this section, identify the 1-minute
intervals during which at least one copper converter was blowing but
none of the interference events listed in paragraphs (c)(7)(iii)(A)
through (F) of this section occurred. Other ancillary activities not
listed but conducted in or adjacent to the converter aisle during the
opacity observations are not considered to be interference events (e.g.,
converter aisle cleaning, placement of smoking ladles or skulls on the
converter aisle floor).
(A) Charging of copper matte, reverts, or other materials to a batch
copper converter;
(B) Skimming slag or other molten materials from a batch copper
converter;
(C) Pouring of blister copper or other molten materials from a batch
copper converter;
[[Page 38]]
(D) Return of slag or other molten materials to the flash smelting
furnace or slag cleaning vessel;
(E) Roll-out or roll-in of the batch copper converter; or
(F) Smoke and fumes generated inside the converter building by
operation of the smelting furnace, the slag cleaning vessel (if used),
anode refining and casting processes that drift into the copper
converter department.
(iv) Using the data summary sheets prepared according to paragraph
(c)(7)(iii) of this section, up to five 1-minute intervals following an
interference event may be eliminated from data used for the compliance
determination calculation specified in paragraph (c)(8) of this section
by applying a time delay factor. The time delay factor must be a
constant number of minutes not to exceed 5 minutes that is added to the
clock time recorded when cessation of the interference event occurs. The
same time delay factor must be used for all interference events (i.e., a
constant time delay factor for the smelter of 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3
minutes, 4 minutes, or 5 minutes). The number of minutes to be used for
the time delay factor is determined based on the site-specific equipment
and converter building configuration. An explanation of the rationale
for selecting the value used for the time delay factor must be prepared
and included in the test report.
(8) You must use the data summary prepared in paragraph (c)(7) of
this section to calculate the average opacity value for a minimum of 120
1-minute intervals during which at least one copper converter was
blowing with no interference events as determined according to
paragraphs (c)(7)(iii) and (iv) of this section. Average opacity is
calculated using Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR12JN02.026
Where
VEave = Average opacity to be used for compliance
determination (percent);
n = Total number of 1-minute intervals during which at least one copper
converter was blowing with no interference events as
determined according to paragraphs (c)(7)(iii) and (iv) of
this section (at least 120 1-minute intervals);
i = 1-minute interval ``i'' during which at least one copper converter
was blowing with no interference events as determined
according to paragraphs (c)(7)(iii) and (iv) of this section;
and
VEi = Average opacity value calculated for the eight opacity
readings recorded during 1-minute interval ``i'' (percent).
(9) You must certify that the copper converter department capture
system operated during the performance test at the operating limits
established in your capture system operation and maintenance plan using
the procedure specified in paragraphs (c)(9)(i) through (iv) of this
section.
(i) Concurrent with all opacity observations, measure and record
values for each of the operating limit parameters in your capture system
operation and maintenance plan according to the monitoring requirements
specified in Sec. 63.1452(a).
(ii) For any dampers that are manually set and remain in the same
position at all times the capture system is operating, the damper
position must be visually checked and recorded at the beginning and end
of each opacity observation period segment.
(iii) Review the recorded monitoring data. Identify and explain any
times during batch copper converter blowing when the capture system
operated outside the applicable operating limits.
(iv) Certify in your performance test report that during all
observation period segments, the copper converter department capture
system was operating at the values or settings established in your
capture system operation and maintenance plan.

Sec. 63.1503 Definitions.
Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act as
amended (CAA), in Sec. 63.2, or in this section as follows:
[[Page 53]]
Add-on air pollution control device means equipment installed on a
process vent that reduces the quantity of a pollutant that is emitted to
the air.
Afterburner means an air pollution control device that uses
controlled flame combustion to convert combustible materials to
noncombustible gases; also known as an incinerator or a thermal
oxidizer.
Aluminum scrap means fragments of aluminum stock removed during
manufacturing (i.e., machining), manufactured aluminum articles or parts
rejected or discarded and useful only as material for reprocessing, and
waste and discarded material made of aluminum.
Aluminum scrap shredder means a unit that crushes, grinds, or breaks
aluminum scrap into a more uniform size prior to processing or charging
to a scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating kiln, or furnace. A bale
breaker is not an aluminum scrap shredder.
Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric filter
(i.e., baghouse) in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak detection
system includes, but is not limited to, an instrument that operates on
triboelectric, light scattering, light transmittance, or other effect to
monitor relative particulate matter loadings.
Chips means small, uniformly-sized, unpainted pieces of aluminum
scrap, typically below 1\1/4\ inches in any dimension, primarily
generated by turning, milling, boring, and machining of aluminum parts.
Clean charge means furnace charge materials, including molten
aluminum; T-bar; sow; ingot; billet; pig; alloying elements; aluminum
scrap known by the owner or operator to be entirely free of paints,
coatings, and lubricants; uncoated/unpainted aluminum chips that have
been thermally dried or treated by a centrifugal cleaner; aluminum scrap
dried at 343 [deg]C (650 [deg]F) or higher; aluminum scrap delacquered/
decoated at 482 [deg]C (900 [deg]F) or higher, and runaround scrap.
Cover flux means salt added to the surface of molten aluminum in a
group 1 or group 2 furnace, without agitation of the molten aluminum,
for the purpose of preventing oxidation.
Customer returns means any aluminum product which is returned by a
customer to the aluminum company that originally manufactured the
product prior to resale of the product or further distribution in
commerce, and which contains no paint or other solid coatings (i.e.,
lacquers).
D/F means dioxins and furans.
Dioxins and furans means tetra-, penta-, hexa-, and octachlorinated
dibenzo dioxins and furans.
Dross means the slags and skimmings from aluminum melting and
refining operations consisting of fluxing agent(s), impurities, and/or
oxidized and non-oxidized aluminum, from scrap aluminum charged into the
furnace.
Dross-only furnace means a furnace, typically of rotary barrel
design, dedicated to the reclamation of aluminum from dross formed
during melting, holding, fluxing, or alloying operations carried out in
other process units. Dross and salt flux are the sole feedstocks to this
type of furnace.
Emission unit means a group 1 furnace or in-line fluxer at a
secondary aluminum production facility.
Fabric filter means an add-on air pollution control device used to
capture particulate matter by filtering gas streams through filter
media; also known as a baghouse.
Feed/charge means, for a furnace or other process unit that operates
in batch mode, the total weight of material (including molten aluminum,
T-bar, sow, ingot, etc.) and alloying agents that enter the furnace
during an operating cycle. For a furnace or other process unit that
operates continuously, feed/charge means the weight of material
(including molten aluminum, T-bar, sow, ingot, etc.) and alloying agents
that enter the process unit within a specified time period (e.g., a time
period equal to the performance test period). The feed/charge for a
dross only furnace includes the total weight of dross and solid flux.
Fluxing means refining of molten aluminum to improve product
quality, achieve product specifications, or reduce material loss,
including the addition of solvents to remove impurities (solvent flux);
and the injection of
[[Page 54]]
gases such as chlorine, or chlorine mixtures, to remove magnesium
(demagging) or hydrogen bubbles (degassing). Fluxing may be performed in
the furnace or outside the furnace by an in-line fluxer.
Furnace hearth means the combustion zone of a furnace in which the
molten metal is contained.
Group 1 furnace means a furnace of any design that melts, holds, or
processes aluminum that contains paint, lubricants, coatings, or other
foreign materials with or without reactive fluxing, or processes clean
charge with reactive fluxing.
Group 2 furnace means a furnace of any design that melts, holds, or
processes only clean charge and that performs no fluxing or performs
fluxing using only nonreactive, non-HAP-containing/non-HAP-generating
gases or agents.
HCl means, for the purposes of this subpart, emissions of hydrogen
chloride that serve as a surrogate measure of the total emissions of the
HAPs hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine.
In-line fluxer means a device exterior to a furnace, located in a
transfer line from a furnace, used to refine (flux) molten aluminum;
also known as a flux box, degassing box, or demagging box.
Internal scrap means all aluminum scrap regardless of the level of
contamination which originates from castings or extrusions produced by
an aluminum die casting facility, aluminum foundry, or aluminum
extrusion facility, and which remains at all times within the control of
the company that produced the castings or extrusions.
Lime means calcium oxide or other alkaline reagent.
Lime-injection means the continuous addition of lime upstream of a
fabric filter.
Melting/holding furnace means a group 1 furnace that processes only
clean charge, performs melting, holding, and fluxing functions, and does
not transfer molten aluminum to or from another furnace except for
purposes of alloy changes, off-specification product drains, or
maintenance activities.
Operating cycle means for a batch process, the period beginning when
the feed material is first charged to the operation and ending when all
feed material charged to the operation has been processed. For a batch
melting or holding furnace process, operating cycle means the period
including the charging and melting of scrap aluminum and the fluxing,
refining, alloying, and tapping of molten aluminum (the period from tap-
to-tap).
PM means, for the purposes of this subpart, emissions of particulate
matter that serve as a measure of total particulate emissions and as a
surrogate for metal HAPs contained in the particulates, including but
not limited to, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt,
lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and selenium.
Pollution prevention means source reduction as defined under the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (e.g., equipment or technology
modifications, process or procedure modifications, reformulation or
redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and improvements in
housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control), and other
practices that reduce or eliminate the creation of pollutants through
increased efficiency in the use of raw materials, energy, water, or
other resources, or protection of natural resources by conservation.
Reactive fluxing means the use of any gas, liquid, or solid flux
(other than cover flux) that results in a HAP emission. Argon and
nitrogen are not reactive and do not produce HAP.
Reconstruction means the replacement of components of an affected
source or emission unit such that the fixed capital cost of the new
components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would be
required to construct a comparable new affected source, and it is
technologically and economically feasible for the reconstructed source
to meet relevant standard(s) established in this subpart. Replacement of
the refractory in a furnace is routine maintenance and is not a
reconstruction. The repair and replacement of in-line fluxer components
(e.g., rotors/shafts, burner tubes, refractory, warped steel) is
considered to be routine maintenance and is not considered a
reconstruction. In-line fluxers are typically removed to a maintenance/
repair area and are replaced with repaired
[[Page 55]]
units. The replacement of an existing in-line fluxer with a repaired
unit is not considered a reconstruction.
Residence time means, for an afterburner, the duration of time
required for gases to pass through the afterburner combustion zone.
Residence time is calculated by dividing the afterburner combustion zone
volume in cubic feet by the volumetric flow rate of the gas stream in
actual cubic feet per second.
Rotary dross cooler means a water-cooled rotary barrel device that
accelerates cooling of dross.
Runaround scrap means scrap materials generated on-site by aluminum
casting, extruding, rolling, scalping, forging, forming/stamping,
cutting, and trimming operations and that do not contain paint or solid
coatings. Uncoated/unpainted aluminum chips generated by turning,
boring, milling, and similar machining operations may be clean charge if
they have been thermally dried or treated by a centrifugal cleaner, but
are not considered to be runaround scrap.
Scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating kiln means a unit used
primarily to remove various organic contaminants such as oil, paint,
lacquer, ink, plastic, and/or rubber from aluminum scrap (including used
beverage containers) prior to melting.
Secondary aluminum processing unit (SAPU). An existing SAPU means
all existing group 1 furnaces and all existing in-line fluxers within a
secondary aluminum production facility. Each existing group 1 furnace or
existing in-line fluxer is considered an emission unit within a
secondary aluminum processing unit. A new SAPU means any combination of
individual group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers within a secondary
aluminum processing facility which either were constructed or
reconstructed after February 11, 1999, or have been permanently
redesignated as new emission units pursuant to Sec. 63.1505(k)(6). Each
of the group 1 furnaces or in-line fluxers within a new SAPU is
considered an emission unit within that secondary aluminum processing
unit.
Secondary aluminum production facility means any establishment using
clean charge, aluminum scrap, or dross from aluminum production, as the
raw material and performing one or more of the following processes:
scrap shredding, scrap drying/delacquering/decoating, thermal chip
drying, furnace operations (i.e., melting, holding, sweating, refining,
fluxing, or alloying), recovery of aluminum from dross, in-line fluxing,
or dross cooling. A secondary aluminum production facility may be
independent or part of a primary aluminum production facility. For
purposes of this subpart, aluminum die casting facilities, aluminum
foundries, and aluminum extrusion facilities are not considered to be
secondary aluminum production facilities if the only materials they melt
are clean charge, customer returns, or internal scrap, and if they do
not operate sweat furnaces, thermal chip dryers, or scrap dryers/
delacquering kilns/decoating kilns. The determination of whether a
facility is a secondary aluminum production facility is only for
purposes of this subpart and any regulatory requirements which are
derived from the applicability of this subpart, and is separate from any
determination which may be made under other environmental laws and
regulations, including whether the same facility is a ``secondary metal
production facility'' as that term is used in 42 U.S.C. Sec. 7479(1)
and 40 CFR 52.21(b)(1)(i)(A) (``prevention of significant deterioration
of air quality'').
Sidewell means an open well adjacent to the hearth of a furnace with
connecting arches between the hearth and the open well through which
molten aluminum is circulated between the hearth, where heat is applied
by burners, and the open well, which is used for charging scrap and
solid flux or salt to the furnace, injecting fluxing agents, and
skimming dross.
Sweat furnace means a furnace used exclusively to reclaim aluminum
from scrap that contains substantial quantities of iron by using heat to
separate the low-melting point aluminum from the scrap while the higher
melting-point iron remains in solid form.
TEQ means the international method of expressing toxicity
equivalents for dioxins and furans as defined in ``Interim Procedures
for Estimating Risks Associated with Exposures to Mixtures of
Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and
[[Page 56]]
-Dibenzofurans (CDDs and CDFs) and 1989 Update'' (EPA-625/3-89-016),
available from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285
Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161, NTIS no. PB 90-145756.
THC means, for the purposes of this subpart, total hydrocarbon
emissions that also serve as a surrogate for the emissions of organic
HAP compounds.
Thermal chip dryer means a device that uses heat to evaporate oil or
oil/water mixtures from unpainted/uncoated aluminum chips. Pre-heating
boxes or other dryers which are used solely to remove water from
aluminum scrap are not considered to be thermal chip dryers for purposes
of this subpart.
Three-day, 24-hour rolling average means daily calculations of the
average 24-hour emission rate (lbs/ton of feed/charge), over the 3 most
recent consecutive 24-hour periods, for a secondary aluminum processing
unit.
Total reactive chlorine flux injection rate means the sum of the
total weight of chlorine in the gaseous or liquid reactive flux and the
total weight of chlorine in the solid reactive chloride flux, divided by
the total weight of feed/charge, as determined by the procedure in Sec.
63.1512(o).

initial performance test is required. The plan must be accompanied by a
written certification by the owner or operator that the OM&M plan
satisfies all requirements of this section and is otherwise consistent
with the requirements of this subpart. The owner or operator must comply
with all of the provisions of the OM&M plan as submitted to the
permitting authority, unless and until the plan is revised in accordance
with the following procedures. If the permitting authority determines at
any time after receipt of the OM&M plan that any revisions of the plan
are necessary to satisfy the requirements of this section or this
subpart, the owner or operator must promptly make all necessary
revisions and resubmit the revised plan. If the owner or operator
determines that any other revisions of the OM&M plan are necessary, such
revisions will not become effective until the owner or operator submits
a description of the changes and a revised plan incorporating them to
the permitting authority. Each plan must contain the following
information:
(1) Process and control device parameters to be monitored to
determine compliance, along with established operating levels or ranges,
as applicable, for each process and control device.

performing reactive fluxing may apply to the Administrator for approval
of an alternative method for monitoring and recording the total reactive
flux addition rate based on monitoring the weight or quantity of
reactive flux per ton of feed/charge for each operating cycle or time
period used in the performance test. An alternative monitoring method
will not be approved unless the owner or operator provides assurance

anticipated rate. If the permitting authority determines that any
revisions of the site-specific monitoring plan are necessary to meet the
requirements of this section or this subpart, the owner or operator must
promptly make all necessary revisions and resubmit the revised plan to
the permitting authority.
(i) The owner or operator of an existing affected source must submit
the site-specific monitoring plan to the applicable permitting authority
for review at least 6 months prior to the compliance date.
(ii) The permitting authority will review and approve or disapprove
a proposed plan, or request changes to a plan, based on whether the plan
contains sufficient provisions to ensure continuing compliance with
applicable emission limits and demonstrates, based on documented test
results, the relationship between emissions of PM, HCl, and D/F and the
proposed monitoring parameters for each pollutant. Test data must
establish the highest level of PM, HCl, and D/F that will be emitted
from the furnace. Subject to permitting agency approval of the OM&M
plan, this may be determined by conducting performance tests and
monitoring operating parameters while charging the furnace with feed/
charge materials containing the highest anticipated levels of oils and
coatings and fluxing at the highest anticipated rate.
(2) Each site-specific monitoring plan must document each work
practice, equipment/design practice, pollution prevention practice, or

specific monitoring plan, the plan must include provisions for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the system to provide
quality-assured measurements in accordance with all applicable
requirements of this subpart.
(7) If a site-specific monitoring plan includes a scrap inspection
program for monitoring the scrap contaminant level of furnace feed/
charge materials, the plan must include provisions for the demonstration
and implementation of the program in accordance with all applicable
requirements in paragraph (p) of this section.
(8) If a site-specific monitoring plan includes a calculation method
for monitoring the scrap contaminant level of furnace feed/charge
materials, the plan must include provisions for the demonstration and
implementation of the program in accordance with all applicable
requirements in paragraph (q) of this section.

composition (such as rejected product from a manufacturing process for
which the coating-to-scrap ratio can be documented) may include a
program in the site-specific monitoring plan for determining,
monitoring, and certifying the scrap contaminant level using a
calculation method rather than a scrap inspection program. A scrap
contaminant monitoring program using a calculation method must include:
(1) Procedures for the characterization and documentation of the
contaminant level of the scrap prior to the performance test.
(2) Limitations on the furnace feed/charge to scrap of the same
composition as that used in the performance test. If the performance
test was conducted with a mixture of scrap and clean charge, limitations

unit with all applicable design, equipment, work practice or operational
standards of this subpart; and
(v) The monitoring requirements applicable to each emission unit in
a secondary aluminum processing unit and the monitoring procedures for
daily calculation of the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average using the
procedure in Sec. 63.1510(t).
(2) The SAPU compliance procedures within the OM&M plan may not
contain any of the following provisions:

request to the applicable permitting authority containing the
information required by paragraph (s)(1) of this section and obtain
approval of the applicable permitting authority prior to implementing
any revisions.
(t) Secondary aluminum processing unit. Except as provided in
paragraph (u) of this section, the owner or operator must calculate and
record the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average emissions of PM, HCl, and D/F
for each secondary aluminum processing unit on a daily basis. To
calculate the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average, the owner or operator
must:
(1) Calculate and record the total weight of material charged to
each emission unit in the secondary aluminum processing unit for each
24-hour day of operation using the feed/charge weight information
required in paragraph (e) of this section. If the owner or operator
chooses to comply on the basis of weight of aluminum produced by the
emission unit, rather than weight of material charged to the emission
unit, all performance test emissions results and all calculations must
be conducted on the aluminum production weight basis.
(2) Multiply the total feed/charge weight to the emission unit, or
the weight of aluminum produced by the emission unit, for each emission
unit for the 24-hour period by the emission rate (in lb/ton of feed/
charge) for that emission unit (as determined during the performance
test) to provide emissions for each emission unit for the 24-hour
period, in pounds.
[[Page 72]]
(3) Divide the total emissions for each SAPU for the 24-hour period
by the total material charged to the SAPU, or the weight of aluminum
produced by the SAPU over the 24-hour period to provide the daily
emission rate for the SAPU.
(4) Compute the 24-hour daily emission rate using Equation 4:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.003
Where,
Eday = The daily PM, HCl, or D/F emission rate for the
secondary aluminum processing unit for the 24-hour period;
Ti = The total amount of feed, or aluminum produced, for
emission unit i for the 24-hour period (tons or Mg);
ERi = The measured emission rate for emission unit i as
determined in the performance test (lb/ton or [micro]g/Mg of
feed/charge); and
n = The number of emission units in the secondary aluminum processing
unit.
(5) Calculate and record the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average for each
pollutant each day by summing the daily emission rates for each
pollutant over the 3 most recent consecutive days and dividing by 3.
(u) Secondary aluminum processing unit compliance by individual
emission unit demonstration. As an alternative to the procedures of
paragraph (t) of this section, an owner or operator may demonstrate,
through performance tests, that each individual emission unit within the
secondary aluminum production unit is in compliance with the applicable
emission limits for the emission unit.
(v) Alternative monitoring method for lime addition. The owner or
operator of a lime-coated fabric filter that employs intermittent or
noncontinuous lime addition may apply to the Administrator for approval
of an alternative method for monitoring the lime addition schedule and
rate based on monitoring the weight of lime added per ton of feed/charge
for each operating cycle or time period used in the performance test. An
alternative monitoring method will not be approved unless the owner or
operator provides assurance through data and information that the
affected source will meet the relevant emission standards on a
continuous basis.
(w) Alternative monitoring methods. If an owner or operator wishes
to use an alternative monitoring method to demonstrate compliance with
any emission standard in this subpart, other than those alternative
monitoring methods which may be authorized pursuant to Sec.
63.1510(j)(5) and Sec. 63.1510(v), the owner or operator may submit an
application to the Administrator. Any such application will be processed
according to the criteria and procedures set forth in paragraphs (w)(1)
through (6) of this section.
(1) The Administrator will not approve averaging periods other than
those specified in this section.
(2) The owner or operator must continue to use the original
monitoring requirement until necessary data are submitted and approval
is received to use another monitoring procedure.
(3) The owner or operator shall submit the application for approval
of alternate monitoring methods no later than the notification of the
performance test. The application must contain the information specified
in paragraphs (w)(3) (i) through (iii) of this section:
(i) Data or information justifying the request, such as the
technical or economic infeasibility, or the impracticality of using the
required approach;
(ii) A description of the proposed alternative monitoring
requirements, including the operating parameters to be monitored, the
monitoring approach and technique, and how the limit is to be
calculated; and
(iii) Data and information documenting that the alternative
monitoring requirement(s) would provide equivalent or better assurance
of compliance with the relevant emission standard(s).
(4) The Administrator will not approve an alternate monitoring
application unless it would provide equivalent or better assurance of
compliance with the relevant emission standard(s). Before disapproving
any alternate monitoring application, the Administrator will provide:
[[Page 73]]
(i) Notice of the information and findings upon which the intended
disapproval is based; and
(ii) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present
additional supporting information before final action is taken on the
application. This notice will specify how much additional time is
allowed for the owner or operator to provide additional supporting
information.
(5) The owner or operator is responsible for submitting any
supporting information in a timely manner to enable the Administrator to
consider the application prior to the performance test. Neither
submittal of an application nor the Administrator's failure to approve
or disapprove the application relieves the owner or operator of the
responsibility to comply with any provisions of this subpart.
(6) The Administrator may decide at any time, on a case-by-case
basis, that additional or alternative operating limits, or alternative
approaches to establishing operating limits, are necessary to
demonstrate compliance with the emission standards of this subpart.

Sec. 63.1511 Performance test/compliance demonstration general
requirements.
(a) Site-specific test plan. Prior to conducting any performance
test required by this subpart, the owner or operator must prepare a
site-specific test plan which satisfies all of the requirements, and
must obtain approval of the plan pursuant to the procedures, set forth
in Sec. 63.7(c).
(b) Initial performance test. Following approval of the site-
specific test plan, the owner or operator must demonstrate initial
compliance with each applicable emission, equipment, work practice, or
operational standard for each affected source and emission unit, and
report the results in the notification of compliance status report as
described in Sec. 63.1515(b). The owner or operator of any existing
affected source for which an initial performance test is required to
demonstrate compliance must conduct this initial performance test no
later than the date for compliance established by Sec. 63.1501(a). The
owner or operator of any new affected source for which an initial
performance test is required must conduct this initial performance test
within 90 days after the date for compliance established by Sec.
63.1501(b). Except for the date by which the performance test must be
conducted, the owner or operator must conduct each performance test in
accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in Sec.
63.7(c). Owners or operators of affected sources located at facilities
which are area sources are subject only to those performance testing
requirements pertaining to D/F. Owners or operators of sweat furnaces
meeting the specifications of Sec. 63.1505(f)(1) are not required to
conduct a performance test.
(1) The owner or operator must conduct each test while the affected
source or emission unit is operating at the highest production level
with charge materials representative of the range of materials processed
by the unit and, if applicable, at the highest reactive fluxing rate.
(2) Each performance test for a continuous process must consist of 3
separate runs; pollutant sampling for each run must be conducted for the
time period specified in the applicable method or, in the absence of a
specific time period in the test method, for a minimum of 3 hours.
(3) Each performance test for a batch process must consist of three
separate runs; pollutant sampling for each run must be conducted over
the entire process operating cycle.
(4) Where multiple affected sources or emission units are exhausted
through a common stack, pollutant sampling for each run must be
conducted over a period of time during which all affected sources or
emission units complete at least 1 entire process operating cycle or for
24 hours, whichever is shorter.
(5) Initial compliance with an applicable emission limit or standard
is demonstrated if the average of three runs conducted during the
performance test is less than or equal to the applicable emission limit
or standard.
(c) Test methods. The owner or operator must use the following
methods in
[[Page 74]]
appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 to determine compliance with the applicable
emission limits or standards:
(1) Method 1 for sample and velocity traverses.
(2) Method 2 for velocity and volumetric flow rate.
(3) Method 3 for gas analysis.
(4) Method 4 for moisture content of the stack gas.
(5) Method 5 for the concentration of PM.
(6) Method 9 for visible emission observations.
(7) Method 23 for the concentration of D/F.
(8) Method 25A for the concentration of THC, as propane.
(9) Method 26A for the concentration of HCl. Where a lime-injected
fabric filter is used as the control device to comply with the 90
percent reduction standard, the owner or operator must measure the
fabric filter inlet concentration of HCl at a point before lime is
introduced to the system. Method 26 may be used in place of Method 26A
where it can be demonstrated that there are no water droplets in the
emission stream. This can be demonstrated by showing that the vapor
pressure of water in the emission stream that you are testing is less
than the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the emission stream
temperature, and by certifying that the emission stream is not
controlled by a wet scrubber.
(d) Alternative methods. The owner or operator may use an
alternative test method, subject to approval by the Administrator.
(e) Repeat tests. The owner or operator of new or existing affected
sources and emission units located at secondary aluminum production
facilities that are major sources must conduct a performance test every
5 years following the initial performance test.
(f) Testing of representative emission units. With the prior
approval of the permitting authority, an owner or operator may utilize
emission rates obtained by testing a particular type of group 1 furnace
which is not controlled by any add-on control device, or by testing an
in-line flux box which is not controlled by any add-on control device,
to determine the emission rate for other units of the same type at the
same facility. Such emission test results may only be considered to be
representative of other units if all of the following criteria are
satisfied:
(1) The tested emission unit must use feed materials and charge
rates which are comparable to the emission units that it represents;
(2) The tested emission unit must use the same type of flux
materials in the same proportions as the emission units it represents;
(3) The tested emission unit must be operated utilizing the same
work practices as the emission units that it represents;
(4) The tested emission unit must be of the same design as the
emission units that it represents; and
(5) The tested emission unit must be tested under the highest load
or capacity reasonably expected to occur for any of the emission units
that it represents.
(g) Establishment of monitoring and operating parameter values. The
owner or operator of new or existing affected sources and emission units
must establish a minimum or maximum operating parameter value, or an
operating parameter range for each parameter to be monitored as required
by Sec. 63.1510 that ensures compliance with the applicable emission
limit or standard. To establish the minimum or maximum value or range,
the owner or operator must use the appropriate procedures in this
section and submit the information required by Sec. 63.1515(b)(4) in
the notification of compliance status report. The owner or operator may
use existing data in addition to the results of performance tests to
establish operating parameter values for compliance monitoring provided
each of the following conditions are met to the satisfaction of the
applicable permitting authority:
(1) The complete emission test report(s) used as the basis of the
parameter(s) is submitted.
(2) The same test methods and procedures as required by this subpart
were used in the test.
(3) The owner or operator certifies that no design or work practice
changes have been made to the source, process, or emission control
equipment since the time of the report.
[[Page 75]]
(4) All process and control equipment operating parameters required
to be monitored were monitored as required in this subpart and
documented in the test report.
(h) Testing of commonly-ducted units within a secondary aluminum
processing unit. When group 1 furnaces and/or in-line fluxers are
included in a single existing SAPU or new SAPU, and the emissions from
more than one emission unit within that existing SAPU or new SAPU are
manifolded to a single control device, compliance for all units within
the SAPU is demonstrated if the total measured emissions from all
controlled and uncontrolled units in the SAPU do not exceed the emission
limits calculated for that SAPU based on the applicable equation in
Sec. 63.1505(k).
(i) Testing of commonly-ducted units not within a secondary aluminum
processing unit. With the prior approval of the permitting authority, an
owner or operator may do combined performance testing of two or more
individual affected sources or emission units which are not included in
a single existing SAPU or new SAPU, but whose emissions are manifolded
to a single control device. Any such performance testing of commonly-
ducted units must satisfy the following basic requirements:
(1) All testing must be designed to verify that each affected source
or emission unit individually satisfies all emission requirements
applicable to that affected source or emission unit;
(2) All emissions of pollutants subject to a standard must be tested
at the outlet from each individual affected source or emission unit
while operating under the highest load or capacity reasonably expected
to occur, and prior to the point that the emissions are manifolded
together with emissions from other affected sources or emission units;
(3) The combined emissions from all affected sources and emission
units which are manifolded to a single emission control device must be
tested at the outlet of the emission control device;
(4) All tests at the outlet of the emission control device must be
conducted with all affected sources and emission units whose emissions
are manifolded to the control device operating simultaneously under the
highest load or capacity reasonably expected to occur; and
(5) For purposes of demonstrating compliance of a commonly-ducted
unit with any emission limit for a particular type of pollutant, the
emissions of that pollutant by the individual unit shall be presumed to
be controlled by the same percentage as total emissions of that
pollutant from all commonly-ducted units are controlled at the outlet of
the emission control device.

Sec. 63.1512 Performance test/compliance demonstration requirements
and procedures.
(a) Aluminum scrap shredder. The owner or operator must conduct
performance tests to measure PM emissions at the outlet of the control
system. If visible emission observations is the selected monitoring
option, the owner or operator must record visible emission observations
from each exhaust stack for all consecutive 6-minute periods during the
PM emission test according to the requirements of Method 9 in appendix A
to 40 CFR part 60.
(b) Thermal chip dryer. The owner or operator must conduct a
performance test to measure THC and D/F emissions at the outlet of the
control device while the unit processes only unpainted aluminum chips.
(c) Scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating kiln. The owner or
operator must conduct performance tests to measure emissions of THC, D/
F, HCl, and PM at the outlet of the control device.

decoating kiln subject to the alternative limits in
[[Page 76]]
Sec. 63.1505(e) must submit a written certification in the notification
of compliance status report containing the information required by Sec.
63.1515(b)(7).
(d) Group 1 furnace with add-on air pollution control devices. (1)
The owner or operator of a group 1 furnace that processes scrap other
than clean charge materials with emissions controlled by a lime-injected
fabric filter must conduct performance tests to measure emissions of PM
and D/F at the outlet of the control device and emissions of HCl at the
outlet (for the emission limit) or the inlet and the outlet (for the
percent reduction standard).
(2) The owner or operator of a group 1 furnace that processes only
clean charge materials with emissions controlled by a lime-injected
fabric filter must conduct performance tests to measure emissions of PM
at the outlet of the control device and emissions of HCl at the outlet
(for the emission limit) or the inlet and the outlet (for the percent
reduction standard).
(3) The owner or operator may choose to determine the rate of
reactive flux addition to the group 1 furnace and assume, for the
purposes of demonstrating compliance with the SAPU emission limit, that
all reactive flux added to the group 1 furnace is emitted. Under these
circumstances, the owner or operator is not required to conduct an
emission test for HCl.
(4) The owner or operator of a sidewell group 1 furnace that
conducts reactive fluxing (except for cover flux) in the hearth, or that
conducts reactive fluxing in the sidewell at times when the level of
molten metal falls below the top of the passage between the sidewell and
the hearth, must conduct the performance tests required by paragraph
(d)(1) or (d)(2) of this section, to measure emissions from both the
sidewell and the hearth.
(e) Group 1 furnace (including melting holding furnaces) without
add-on air pollution control devices. In the site-specific monitoring
plan required by Sec. 63.1510(o), the owner or operator of a group 1
furnace (including a melting/holding furnaces) without add-on air
pollution control devices must include data and information
demonstrating compliance with the applicable emission limits.
(1) If the group 1 furnace processes other than clean charge
material, the owner or operator must conduct emission tests to measure
emissions of PM, HCl, and D/F at the furnace exhaust outlet.
(2) If the group 1 furnace processes only clean charge, the owner or
operator must conduct emission tests to simultaneously measure emissions
of PM and HCl at the furnace exhaust outlet. A D/F test is not required.
Each test must be conducted while the group 1 furnace (including a
melting/holding furnace) processes only clean charge.
(3) The owner or operator may choose to determine the rate of
reactive flux addition to the group 1 furnace and assume, for the
purposes of demonstrating compliance with the SAPU emission limit, that
all reactive flux added to the group 1 furnace is emitted. Under these
circumstances, the owner or operator is not required to conduct an
emission test for HCl.
(f) Sweat furnace. Except as provided in Sec. 63.1505(f)(1), the
owner or operator must measure emissions of D/F from each sweat furnace
at the outlet of the control device.
(g) Dross-only furnace. The owner or operator must conduct a
performance test to measure emissions of PM from each dross-only furnace
at the outlet of each control device while the unit processes only dross
and salt flux as the sole feedstock.
(h) In-line fluxer. (1) The owner or operator of an in-line fluxer
that uses reactive flux materials must conduct a performance test to
measure emissions of HCl and PM or otherwise demonstrate compliance in
accordance with paragraph (h)(2) of this section. If the in-line fluxer
is equipped with an add-on control device, the emissions must be
measured at the outlet of the control device.
(2) The owner or operator may choose to limit the rate at which
reactive chlorine flux is added to an in-line fluxer and assume, for the
purposes of demonstrating compliance with the SAPU emission limit, that
all chlorine in the reactive flux added to the in-line fluxer is emitted
as HCl. Under these circumstances, the owner or operator is not required
to conduct an emission test for HCl. If the owner or operator of
[[Page 77]]
any in-line flux box which has no ventilation ductwork manifolded to any
outlet or emission control device chooses to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limit for HCl by limiting use of reactive chlorine flux and
assuming that all chlorine in the flux is emitted as HCl, compliance
with the HCl limit shall also constitute compliance with the emission
limit for PM, and no separate emission test for PM is required. In this
case, the owner or operator of the unvented in-line flux box must
utilize the maximum permissible PM emission rate for the in-line flux
boxes when determining the total emissions for any SAPU which includes
the flux box.
(i) Rotary dross cooler. The owner or operator must conduct a
performance test to measure PM emissions at the outlet of the control
device.
(j) Secondary aluminum processing unit. The owner or operator must
conduct performance tests as described in paragraphs (j)(1) through (3)
of this section. The results of the performance tests are used to
establish emission rates in lb/ton of feed/charge for PM and HCl and
[micro]g TEQ/Mg of feed/charge for D/F emissions from each emission
unit. These emission rates are used for compliance monitoring in the
calculation of the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average emission rates using
the equation in Sec. 63.1510(t). A performance test is required for:
(1) Each group 1 furnace processing only clean charge to measure
emissions of PM and either:
(i) Emissions of HCl (for the emission limit); or
(ii) The mass flow rate of HCl at the inlet to and outlet from the
control device (for the percent reduction standard).
(2) Each group 1 furnace that processes scrap other than clean
charge to measure emissions of PM and D/F and either:
(i) Emissions of HCl (for the emission limit); or
(ii) The mass flow rate of HCl at the inlet to and outlet from the
control device (for the percent reduction standard).
(3) Each in-line fluxer to measure emissions of PM and HCl.
(k) Feed/charge weight measurement. During the emission test(s)
conducted to determine compliance with emission limits in a kg/Mg (lb/
ton) format, the owner or operator of an affected source or emission
unit, subject to an emission limit in a kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed/charge
format, must measure (or otherwise determine) and record the total
weight of feed/charge to the affected source or emission unit for each
of the three test runs and calculate and record the total weight. An
owner or operator that chooses to demonstrate compliance on the basis of
the aluminum production weight must measure the weight of aluminum
produced by the emission unit or affected source instead of the feed/
charge weight.
(l) Continuous opacity monitoring system. The owner or operator of
an affected source or emission unit using a continuous opacity
monitoring system must conduct a performance evaluation to demonstrate
compliance with Performance Specification 1 in appendix B to 40 CFR part
60. Following the performance evaluation, the owner or operator must
measure and record the opacity of emissions from each exhaust stack for
all consecutive 6-minute periods during the PM emission test.
(m) Afterburner. These requirements apply to the owner or operator
of an affected source using an afterburner to comply with the
requirements of this subpart.
(1) Prior to the initial performance test, the owner or operator
must conduct a performance evaluation for the temperature monitoring
device according to the requirements of Sec. 63.8.
(2) The owner or operator must use these procedures to establish an
operating parameter value or range for the afterburner operating
temperature.
(i) Continuously measure and record the operating temperature of
each afterburner every 15 minutes during the THC and D/F performance
tests;
(ii) Determine and record the 15-minute block average temperatures
for the three test runs; and
(iii) Determine and record the 3-hour block average temperature
measurements for the 3 test runs.
(n) Inlet gas temperature. The owner or operator of a scrap dryer/
delacquering kiln/decoating kiln or a group 1 furnace
[[Page 78]]
using a lime-injected fabric filter must use these procedures to
establish an operating parameter value or range for the inlet gas
temperature.
(1) Continuously measure and record the temperature at the inlet to
the lime-injected fabric filter every 15 minutes during the HCl and D/F
performance tests;
(2) Determine and record the 15-minute block average temperatures
for the 3 test runs; and
(3) Determine and record the 3-hour block average of the recorded
temperature measurements for the 3 test runs.
(o) Flux injection rate. The owner or operator must use these
procedures to establish an operating parameter value or range for the
total reactive chlorine flux injection rate.
(1) Continuously measure and record the weight of gaseous or liquid
reactive flux injected for each 15 minute period during the HCl and D/F
tests, determine and record the 15-minute block average weights, and
calculate and record the total weight of the gaseous or liquid reactive
flux for the 3 test runs;
(2) Record the identity, composition, and total weight of each
addition of solid reactive flux for the 3 test runs;
(3) Determine the total reactive chlorine flux injection rate by
adding the recorded measurement of the total weight of chlorine in the
gaseous or liquid reactive flux injected and the total weight of
chlorine in the solid reactive flux using Equation 5:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.013
Where,
Wt = Total chlorine usage, by weight;
F1 = Fraction of gaseous or liquid flux that is chlorine;
W1 = Weight of reactive flux gas injected;
F2 = Fraction of solid reactive chloride flux that is
chlorine (e.g., F = 0.75 for magnesium chloride; and
W2 = Weight of solid reactive flux;
(4) Divide the weight of total chlorine usage (Wt) for
the 3 test runs by the recorded measurement of the total weight of feed
for the 3 test runs; and
(5) If a solid reactive flux other than magnesium chloride is used,
the owner or operator must derive the appropriate proportion factor
subject to approval by the applicable permitting authority.
(p) Lime injection. The owner or operator of an affected source or
emission unit using a lime-injected fabric filter system must use these
procedures during the HCl and D/F tests to establish an operating
parameter value for the feeder setting for each operating cycle or time
period used in the performance test.
(1) For continuous lime injection systems, ensure that lime in the
feed hopper or silo is free-flowing at all times; and
(2) Record the feeder setting for the 3 test runs. If the feed rate
setting varies during the runs, determine and record the average feed
rate from the 3 runs.
(q) Bag leak detection system. The owner or operator of an affected
source or emission unit using a bag leak detection system must submit
the information described in Sec. 63.1515(b)(6) as part of the
notification of compliance status report to document conformance with
the specifications and requirements in Sec. 63.1510(f).
(r) Labeling. The owner or operator of each scrap dryer/delacquering
kiln/decoating kiln, group 1 furnace, group 2 furnace and in-line fluxer
must submit the information described in Sec. 63.1515(b)(3) as part of
the notification of compliance status report to document conformance
with the operational standard in Sec. 63.1506(b).

and equations in ``Interim Procedures for Estimating Risks Associated
with Exposures to Mixtures of Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and -
Dibenzofurans (CDDs and CDFs) and 1989 Update'' (EPA-625/3-89-016),
incorporated by reference in Sec. 63.1502 of this subpart, available
from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal
Road, Springfield, Virginia, NTIS no. PB 90-145756.
(e) Secondary aluminum processing unit. Use the procedures in
paragraphs (e)(1), (2), and (3) or the procedure in paragraph (e)(4) of
this section to determine compliance with emission limits for a
secondary aluminum processing unit.
(1) Use Equation 9 to compute the mass-weighted PM emissions for a

achieved if the mass-weighted emissions for the secondary aluminum
processing unit is less than or equal to the emission limit for the
secondary aluminum processing unit (LcD/F) calculated using
Equation 3 in Sec. 63.1505(k).

compliance for a secondary aluminum processing unit by demonstrating
that each existing group 1 furnace is in compliance with the emission
limits for a new group 1 furnace in Sec. 63.1505(i) and that each

source is in operation beginning at a startup and ending at the next
shutdown.
Plant operating time means the period of time in hours that either a
sinter machine or blast furnace is in operation.
Plant roadway means any area of a primary lead processor that is
subject to vehicle traffic, including traffic by forklifts, front-end
loaders, or vehicles carrying ore concentrates or cast lead ingots.
Excluded from this definition are employee and visitor parking areas,
provided they are not subject to traffic by vehicles carrying lead-
bearing materials.
Primary lead processor means any facility engaged in the production
of lead metal from lead sulfide ore concentrates through the use of
pyrometallurgical or other techniques.
Process fugitive source means a source of hazardous air pollutant
emissions at a primary lead processor that is associated with lead
smelting, processing or refining but is not the primary exhaust stream
and is not a fugitive dust source. Process fugitive sources include
sinter machine charging locations, sinter machine discharge locations,
sinter crushing and sizing equipment, furnace charging locations,
furnace taps, and drossing kettle and refining kettle charging or
tapping locations.
Refining and casting area means any area of a primary lead processor
in which drossing or refining operations occur, or casting operations
occur.
Secondary lead smelter means any facility at which lead-bearing
scrap material, primarily, but not limited to, lead-acid batteries, is
recycled into elemental lead or lead alloys by smelting.
Shutdown means the cessation of operation of an affected source for
any purpose.
Sinter machine means any device in which a lead sulfide ore
concentrate charge is heated in the presence of air to eliminate sulfur
contained in the charge and to agglomerate the charge into a hard porous
mass called sinter.
Sinter machine area means any area of a primary lead processor where
a sinter machine, or sinter crushing and sizing equipment is located.
Sinter machine discharge end means the physical opening at the end
of a sinter machine where the sinter exits the sinter machine.
Startup means the setting in operation of an affected source for any
purpose.
Tapping location means the opening thru which lead and slag are
removed from the furnace.
Tapping location means the opening through which lead and slag are
removed from the furnace.

primary lead processor shall discharge or cause to be discharged into
the atmosphere lead compounds in excess of 0.97 pounds per ton of lead
metal produced from the aggregation of emissions discharged from air
pollution control devices used to control emissions from the sources
listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (9) of this section.
(1) Sinter machine;
(2) Blast furnace;
(3) Dross furnace;
(4) Dross furnace charging location;

(ii) Could not have been prevented through careful planning, proper
design
[[Page 106]]
or better operation and maintenance practices; and
(iii) Did not stem from any activity or event that could have been
foreseen and avoided, or planned for; and
(iv) Were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate
design, operation, or maintenance; and
(2) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when the
applicable emission limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift and
overtime labor were used, to the extent practicable to make these
repairs; and
(3) The frequency, amount and duration of the excess emissions
(including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable
during periods of such emissions; and
(4) If the excess emissions resulted from a bypass of control
equipment or a process, then the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss
of life, personal injury, or severe property damage; and
(5) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the
excess emissions on ambient air quality, the environment and human
health; and
(6) All emissions monitoring and control systems were kept in
operation if at all possible, consistent with safety and good air
pollution control practices; and
(7) All of the actions in response to the excess emissions were
documented by properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs; and
(8) At all times, the facility was operated in a manner consistent
with good practices for minimizing emissions; and
(9) A written root cause analysis has been prepared, the purpose of
which is to determine, correct, and eliminate the primary causes of the
malfunction and the excess emissions resulting from the malfunction
event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, using best monitoring
methods and engineering judgment, the amount of excess emissions that
were the result of the malfunction.
(b) Notification. The owner or operator of the facility experiencing
an exceedance of its emission limit(s) during a malfunction shall notify
the Administrator by telephone or facsimile (FAX) transmission as soon
as possible, but no later than two business days after the initial
occurrence of the malfunction, if it wishes to avail itself of an
affirmative defense to civil penalties for that malfunction. The owner
or operator seeking to assert an affirmative defense shall also submit a
written report to the Administrator within 45 days of the initial
occurrence of the exceedance of the standards in this subpart to
demonstrate, with all necessary supporting documentation, that it has
met the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of this section. The
owner or operator may seek an extension of this deadline for up to 30
additional days by submitting a written request to the Administrator
before the expiration of the 45 day period. Until a request for an
extension has been approved by the Administrator, the owner or operator
is subject to the requirement to submit such report within 45 days of
the initial occurrence of the exceedance.

Subpart UUU_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming
Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units
Source: 67 FR 17773, Apr. 11, 2002, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.1560 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (HAP) emitted from petroleum refineries. This subpart
also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance with the emission limitations and work practice standards.
Sec. 63.1561 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a
petroleum refinery that is located at a major source of HAP emissions.
(1) A petroleum refinery is an establishment engaged primarily in
petroleum refining as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) code 2911 and the North American Industry Classification (NAIC)
code 32411, and used mainly for:
(i) Producing transportation fuels (such as gasoline, diesel fuels,
and jet fuels), heating fuels (such as kerosene, fuel gas distillate,
and fuel oils), or lubricants;
(ii) Separating petroleum; or
(iii) Separating, cracking, reacting, or reforming an intermediate
petroleum stream, or recovering a by-product(s) from the intermediate
petroleum stream (e.g., sulfur recovery).
(2) A major source of HAP is a plant site that emits or has the
potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons)
or more per year
[[Page 108]]
or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more
per year.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 63.1562 What parts of my plant are covered by this subpart?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source at a petroleum refinery.
(b) The affected sources are:
(1) The process vent or group of process vents on fluidized
catalytic cracking units that are associated with regeneration of the
catalyst used in the unit (i.e., the catalyst regeneration flue gas
vent).
(2) The process vent or group of process vents on catalytic
reforming units (including but not limited to semi-regenerative, cyclic,
or continuous processes) that are associated with regeneration of the
catalyst used in the unit. This affected source includes vents that are
used during the unit depressurization, purging, coke burn, and catalyst
rejuvenation.
(3) The process vent or group of process vents on Claus or other
types of sulfur recovery plant units or the tail gas treatment units
serving sulfur recovery plants, that are associated with sulfur
recovery.
(4) Each bypass line serving a new, existing, or reconstructed
catalytic cracking unit, catalytic reforming unit, or sulfur recovery
unit. This means each vent system that contains a bypass line (e.g.,
ductwork) that could divert an affected vent stream away from a control
device used to comply with the requirements of this subpart.
(c) An affected source is a new affected source if you commence
construction of the affected source after September 11, 1998, and you
meet the applicability criteria in Sec. 63.1561 at the time you
commenced construction.
(d) Any affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria in
Sec. 63.2.
(e) An affected source is existing if it is not new or
reconstructed.
(f) This subpart does not apply to:
(1) A thermal catalytic cracking unit.
(2) A sulfur recovery unit that does not recover elemental sulfur or
where the modified reaction is carried out in a water solution which
contains a metal ion capable of oxidizing the sulfide ion to sulfur
(e.g., the LO-CAT II process).
(3) A redundant sulfur recovery unit not located at a petroleum
refinery and used by the refinery only for emergency or maintenance
backup.
(4) Equipment associated with bypass lines such as low leg drains,
high point bleed, analyzer vents, open-ended valves or lines, or
pressure relief valves needed for safety reasons.
(5) Gaseous streams routed to a fuel gas system.

catalytic cracking unit allowing additional time to meet the emission
limitations and work practice standards for catalytic cracking units in
Sec. Sec. 63.1564 and 63.1565 if you commit to hydrotreating the
catalytic cracking unit feedstock and to meeting the emission
limitations of this subpart on the same date that your facility meets
the final Tier 2 gasoline sulfur control standard (40 CFR
[[Page 109]]
part 80, subpart J). To obtain an extension, you must submit a written
notification to your permitting authority according to the requirements
in Sec. 63.1574(e). Your notification must include the information in

emission rates.
(c) What procedures must I use for an engineering assessment? You
may choose to use an engineering assessment to calculate the process
vent flow rate, net heating value, TOC emission rate, and total organic
HAP emission rate expected to yield the highest daily emission rate when
determining the emission reduction or outlet concentration for the
organic HAP standard for catalytic reforming units. If you use an
engineering assessment, you must document all data, assumptions, and
procedures to the satisfaction of the applicable permitting authority.
An engineering assessment may include the approaches listed in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this section. Other engineering
assessments may be used but are subject to review and approval by the
applicable permitting authority.
(1) You may use previous test results provided the tests are
representative of current operating practices at the process unit, and
provided EPA methods or approved alternatives were used;
(2) You may use bench-scale or pilot-scale test data representative
of the process under representative operating conditions;
[[Page 121]]
(3) You may use maximum flow rate, TOC emission rate, organic HAP
emission rate, or organic HAP or TOC concentration specified or implied

concentration based on the laboratory analysis of the equilibrium
catalyst Ni concentration from the initial performance test. Section
63.1564(b)(2) allows you to adjust the laboratory measurements of the
equilibrium catalyst Ni concentration to the maximum level. You must
make this adjustment using Equation 1 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR11AP02.017

concentration to the maximum level, you can't adjust
[[Page 122]]
any other monitored operating parameter (i.e., gas flow rate, voltage,
pressure drop, liquid-to-gas ratio).
(4) Except as specified in paragraph (d)(3) of this section, if you
use continuous parameter monitoring systems, you may adjust one of your
monitored operating parameters (flow rate, voltage and secondary
current, pressure drop, liquid-to-gas ratio) from the average of
measured values during the performance test to the maximum value (or
minimum value, if applicable) representative of worst-case operating
conditions, if necessary. This adjustment of measured values may be done
using control device design specifications, manufacturer
recommendations, or other applicable information. You must provide
supporting documentation and rationale in your Notification of
Compliance Status, demonstrating to the satisfaction of your permitting
authority, that your affected source complies with the applicable
emission limit at the operating limit based on adjusted values.

performance test in conjunction with an engineering assessment, or an
engineering assessment to verify that, at the new operating limit, you
are in compliance with the applicable emission limitation.
(2) You must establish a revised operating limit for your continuous
parameter monitoring system if you make any change in process or
operating conditions that could affect control system performance or you
change designated conditions after the last performance or compliance
tests were done. You can establish the revised operating limit as

valid hour of data (or at least two if a calibration check is performed
during that hour or if the continuous parameter monitoring system is
out-of-control).
(3) Each continuous parameter monitoring system must have valid
hourly average data from at least 75 percent of the hours during which
the process operated.
(4) Each continuous parameter monitoring system must determine and
record the hourly average of all recorded readings and if applicable,
the daily average of all recorded readings for each operating day. The
daily average must cover a 24-hour period if operation is continuous or
the number of hours of operation per day if operation is not continuous.
(5) Each continuous parameter monitoring system must record the
results of each inspection, calibration, and validation check.
(d) You must monitor and collect data according to the requirements
in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Except for monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and
required quality assurance or control activities (including as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments),
you must conduct all monitoring in continuous operation (or collect data
at all required intervals) at all times the affected source is
operating.
(2) You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities
for purposes of this regulation, including data averages and
calculations, for fulfilling a minimum data availability requirement, if
applicable. You must use all the data collected during all other periods
in assessing the operation of the control device and associated control
system.

Sec. 63.1573 What are my monitoring alternatives?
(a) What are the approved alternatives for measuring gas flow rate?
(1) You may use this alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring
system for the catalytic regenerator exhaust gas flow rate for your
catalytic cracking unit if the unit does not introduce any other gas
streams into the catalyst regeneration vent (i.e., complete combustion
units with no additional combustion devices). You may also use this
alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring system for the
catalytic regenerator atmospheric exhaust gas flow rate for your
catalytic reforming unit during the coke burn and rejuvenation cycles if
the unit operates as a constant pressure system during these cycles. If
you use this alternative, you shall use the same procedure for the
performance test and for monitoring after the performance test. You
shall:
(i) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system to
measure and record the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the
catalytic cracking unit or catalytic reforming unit regenerator. Or, you
may determine and record the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to
the catalytic cracking unit or catalytic reforming unit regenerator
using the appropriate control room instrumentation.
(ii) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system to
measure and record the temperature of the gases entering the control
device (or exiting the catalyst regenerator if you do not use an add-on
control device).
[[Page 124]]
(iii) Calculate and record the hourly average actual exhaust gas
flow rate using Equation 1 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.008
Where
Q gas = Hourly average actual gas flow rate, acfm;
1.12 = Default correction factor to convert gas flow from dry standard
cubic feet per minute (dscfm) to standard cubic feet per
minute (scfm);
Q air = Volumetric flow rate of air to regenerator, as
determined from the control room instrumentations, dscfm;
Q other = Volumetric flow rate of other gases entering the
regenerator as determined from the control room
instrumentations, dscfm. (Examples of ``other'' gases include
an oxygen-enriched air stream to catalytic cracking unit
regenerators and a nitrogen stream to catalytic reforming unit
regenerators.);
Tempgas = Temperature of gas stream in vent measured as near
as practical to the control device or opacity monitor, [deg]K.
For wet scrubbers, temperature of gas prior to the wet
scrubber; and
Pvent = Absolute pressure in the vent measured as near as
practical to the control device or opacity monitor, as
applicable, atm. When used to assess the gas flow rate in the
final atmospheric vent stack, you can assume Pvent
= 1 atm.
(2) You may use this alternative to calculating Q r, the
volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas for the catalytic cracking
regenerator as required in Equation 1 of Sec. 63.1564, if you have a
gas analyzer installed in the catalytic cracking regenerator exhaust
vent prior to the addition of air or other gas streams. You may measure
upstream or downstream of an electrostatic precipitator, but you shall
measure upstream of a carbon monoxide boiler. You shall:
(i) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system to
measure and record the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the
catalytic cracking unit regenerator. Or, you can determine and record
the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the catalytic cracking
unit regenerator using the catalytic cracking unit control room
instrumentation.
(ii) Install and operate a continuous gas analyzer to measure and
record the concentration of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxygen
of the catalytic cracking regenerator exhaust.
(iii) Calculate and record the hourly average flow rate using
Equation 2 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.009
Where:
Q r = Volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas from the catalyst
regenerator before adding air or gas streams, dscm/min (dscf/
min);
79 = Default concentration of nitrogen and argon in dry air, percent by
volume (dry basis);
%Oxy = Oxygen concentration in oxygen-enriched air stream,
percent by volume (dry basis);
Q oxy = Volumetric flow rate of oxygen-enriched air stream to
regenerator as determined from the catalytic cracking unit
control room instrumentations, dscm/min (dscf/min);
%CO2 = Carbon dioxide concentration in regenerator exhaust,
percent by volume (dry basis);
CO = Carbon monoxide concentration in regenerator exhaust, percent by
volume (dry basis); and
%O2 = Oxygen concentration in regenerator exhaust, percent by
volume (dry basis).
[[Page 125]]
(b) What is the approved alternative for monitoring pH or alkalinity
levels? You may use the alternative in paragraph (b)(1) or (2) of this
section for a catalytic reforming unit.
(1) You shall measure and record the pH of the water (or scrubbing
liquid) exiting the wet scrubber or internal scrubbing system at least
once an hour during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation using pH
strips as an alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring system.
The pH strips must meet the requirements in Table 41 of this subpart.
(2) You shall measure and record the alkalinity of the water (or
scrubbing liquid) exiting the wet scrubber or internal scrubbing system
at least once an hour during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation
using titration as an alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring
system.
(c) Can I use another type of monitoring system? You may request
approval from your permitting authority to use an automated data
compression system. An automated data compression system does not record
monitored operating parameter values at a set frequency (e.g., once
every hour) but records all values that meet set criteria for variation
from previously recorded values. Your request must contain a description
of the monitoring system and data recording system, including the
criteria used to determine which monitored values are recorded and
retained, the method for calculating daily averages, and a demonstration
that the system meets all of the criteria in paragraphs (c)(1) through
(5) of this section:
(1) The system measures the operating parameter value at least once
every hour;
(2) The system records at least 24 values each day during periods of
operation;
(3) The system records the date and time when monitors are turned
off or on;
(4) The system recognizes unchanging data that may indicate the
monitor is not functioning properly, alerts the operator, and records
the incident; and
(5) The system computes daily average values of the monitored
operating parameter based on recorded data.
(d) Can I monitor other process or control device operating
parameters? You may request approval to monitor parameters other than
those required in this subpart. You must request approval if:
(1) You use a control device other than a thermal incinerator,
boiler, process heater, flare, electrostatic precipitator, or wet
scrubber;
(2) You use a combustion control device (e.g., incinerator, flare,
boiler or process heater with a design heat capacity of at least 44 MW,
boiler or process heater where the vent stream is introduced into the
flame zone), electrostatic precipitator, or scrubber but want to monitor
a parameter other than those specified; or
(3) You wish to use another type of continuous emission monitoring
system that provides direct measurement of a pollutant (i.e., a PM or
multi-metals HAP continuous emission monitoring system, a carbonyl
sulfide/carbon disulfide continuous emission monitoring system, a TOC
continuous emission monitoring system, or HCl continuous emission
monitoring system).
(e) How do I request to monitor alternative parameters? You must
submit a request for review and approval or disapproval to the
Administrator. The request must include the information in paragraphs
(e)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) A description of each affected source and the parameter(s) to be
monitored to determine whether the affected source will continuously
comply with the emission limitations and an explanation of the criteria
used to select the parameter(s).
(2) A description of the methods and procedures that will be used to
demonstrate that the parameter can be used to determine whether the
affected source will continuously comply with the emission limitations
and the schedule for this demonstration. You must certify that you will
establish an operating limit for the monitored parameter(s) that
represents the conditions in existence when the control device is being
properly operated and maintained to meet the emission limitation.
(3) The frequency and content of monitoring, recording, and
reporting, if
[[Page 126]]
monitoring and recording are not continuous. You also must include the
rationale for the proposed monitoring, recording, and reporting
requirements.
(4) Supporting calculations.
(5) Averaging time for the alternative operating parameter.
(f) How do I apply for alternative monitoring requirements if my
catalytic cracking unit is equipped with a wet scrubber and I have
approved alternative monitoring requirements under the new source
performance standards for petroleum refineries? (1) You may request
alternative monitoring requirements according to the procedures in this
paragraph if you meet each of the conditions in paragraphs (f)(1)(i)
through (iii) of this section:
(i) Your fluid catalytic cracking unit regenerator vent is subject
to the PM limit in 40 CFR 60.102(a)(1) and uses a wet scrubber for PM
emissions control;
(ii) You have alternative monitoring requirements for the continuous
opacity monitoring system requirement in 40 CFR 60.105(a)(1) approved by
the Administrator; and
(iii) You are required by this subpart to install, operate, and
maintain a continuous opacity monitoring system for the same catalytic
cracking unit regenerator vent for which you have approved alternative
monitoring requirements.
(2) You can request approval to use an alternative monitoring method
prior to submitting your notification of compliance status, in your
notification of compliance status, or at any time.
(3) You must submit a copy of the approved alternative monitoring
requirements along with a monitoring plan that includes a description of
the continuous monitoring system or method, including appropriate
operating parameters that will be monitored, test results demonstrating
compliance with the opacity limit used to establish an enforceable
operating limit(s), and the frequency of measuring and recording to
establish continuous compliance. If applicable, you must also include
operation and maintenance requirements for the continuous monitoring
system.
(4) We will contact you within 30 days of receipt of your
application to inform you of approval or of our intent to disapprove
your request.

Notifications, Reports, and Records
Sec. 63.1574 What notifications must I submit and when?
(a) Except as allowed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this
section, you must submit all of the notifications in Sec. Sec. 63.6(h),
63.7(b) and (c), 63.8(e), 63.8(f)(4), 63.8(f)(6), and 63.9(b) through
(h) that apply to you by the dates specified.
(1) You must submit the notification of your intention to construct
or reconstruct according to Sec. 63.9(b)(5) unless construction or
reconstruction had commenced and initial startup had not occurred before
April 11, 2002. In this case, you must submit the notification as soon
as practicable before startup but no later than July 10, 2002. This
deadline also applies to the application for approval of construction or
reconstruction and approval of construction or reconstruction based on
State preconstruction review required in Sec. Sec. 63.5(d)(1)(i) and
63.5(f)(2).
(2) You must submit the notification of intent to conduct a
performance test required in Sec. 63.7(b) at least 30 calendar days
before the performance test is scheduled to begin (instead of 60 days).
(3) If you are required to conduct a performance test, performance
evaluation, design evaluation, opacity observation, visible emission
observation, or other initial compliance demonstration, you must submit
a notification of compliance status according to Sec. 63.9(h)(2)(ii).
You can submit this information in an operating permit application, in
an amendment to an operating permit application, in a separate
submission, or in any combination. In a State with an approved operating
permit program where delegation of authority under section 112(l) of the
CAA has not been requested or approved, you must provide a duplicate
notification to the applicable Regional Administrator. If the required
information has been submitted previously, you do not have to provide a
separate notification of compliance status. Just refer to the earlier
submissions instead
[[Page 127]]

(i) For each initial compliance demonstration that does not include
a performance test, you must submit the Notification of Compliance
Status no later than 30 calendar days following completion of the
initial compliance demonstration.
(ii) For each initial compliance demonstration that includes a
performance test, you must submit the notification of compliance status,
including the performance test results, no later than 150 calendar days
after the compliance date specified for your affected source in Sec.
63.1563.
(b) As specified in Sec. 63.9(b)(2), if you startup your new
affected source before April 11, 2002, you must submit the initial
notification no later than August 9, 2002.
(c) If you startup your new or reconstructed affected source on or
after April 11, 2002, you must submit the initial notification no later
than 120 days after you become subject to this subpart.
(d) You also must include the information in Table 42 of this
subpart in your notification of compliance status.
(e) If you request an extension of compliance for an existing
catalytic cracking unit as allowed in Sec. 63.1563(c), you must submit
a notification to your permitting authority containing the required
information by October 13, 2003.
(f) As required by this subpart, you must prepare and implement an
operation, maintenance, and monitoring plan for each control system and
continuous monitoring system for each affected source. The purpose of
this plan is to detail the operation, maintenance, and monitoring
procedures you will follow.
(1) You must submit the plan to your permitting authority for review
and approval along with your notification of compliance status. While
you do not have to include the entire plan in your part 70 or 71 permit,
you must include the duty to prepare and implement the plan as an
applicable requirement in your part 70 or 71 operating permit. You must
submit any changes to your permitting authority for review and approval
and comply with the plan until the change is approved.
(2) Each plan must include, at a minimum, the information specified
in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (xii) of this section.
(i) Process and control device parameters to be monitored for each
affected source, along with established operating limits.
(ii) Procedures for monitoring emissions and process and control
device operating parameters for each affected source.
(iii) Procedures that you will use to determine the coke burn-rate,
the volumetric flow rate (if you use process data rather than direct
measurement), and the rate of combustion of liquid or solid fossil fuels
if you use an incinerator-waste heat boiler to burn the exhaust gases
from a catalyst regenerator.
(iv) Procedures and analytical methods you will use to determine the
equilibrium catalyst Ni concentration, the equilibrium catalyst Ni
concentration monthly rolling average, and the hourly or hourly average
Ni operating value.
(v) Procedures you will use to determine the pH of the water (or
scrubbing liquid) exiting a wet scrubber if you use pH strips.
(vi) Procedures you will use to determine the HCl concentration of
gases from a catalytic reforming unit when you use a colormetric tube
sampling system, including procedures for correcting for pressure (if
applicable to the sampling equipment) and the sampling locations that
will be used for compliance monitoring purposes.
(vii) Procedures you will use to determine the gas flow rate for a
catalytic cracking unit if you use the alternative procedure based on
air flow rate and temperature.
(viii) Monitoring schedule, including when you will monitor and when
you will not monitor an affected source (e.g., during the coke burn-off,
regeneration process).
(ix) Quality control plan for each continuous opacity monitoring
system and continuous emission monitoring system you use to meet an
emission limit in this subpart. This plan must include procedures you
will use for
[[Page 128]]
calibrations, accuracy audits, and adjustments to the system needed to
meet applicable requirements for the system.
(x) Maintenance schedule for each monitoring system and control
device for each affected source that is generally consistent with the
manufacturer's instructions for routine and long-term maintenance.
(xi) If you use a fixed-bed gas-solid adsorption system to control
emissions from a catalytic reforming unit, you must implement corrective
action procedures if the HCl concentration measured at the selected
compliance monitoring sampling location within the bed exceeds the
operating limit. These procedures must require, at minimum, repeat
measurement and recording of the HCl concentration in the adsorption
system exhaust gases and at the selected compliance monitoring sampling
location within the bed. If the HCl concentration at the selected
compliance monitoring location within the bed is above the operating
limit during the repeat measurement while the HCl concentration in the
adsorption system exhaust gases remains below the operating limit, the
adsorption bed must be replaced as soon as practicable. Your procedures
must specify the sampling frequency that will be used to monitor the HCl
concentration in the adsorption system exhaust gases subsequent to the
repeat measurement and prior to replacement of the sorbent material (but
not less frequent than once every 4 hours during coke burn-off). If the
HCl concentration of the adsorption system exhaust gases is above the
operating limit when measured at any time, the adsorption bed must be
replaced within 24 hours or before the next regeneration cycle,
whichever is longer.
(xii) Procedures that will be used for purging the catalyst if you
do not use a control device to comply with the organic HAP emission
limits for catalytic reforming units. These procedures will include, but
are not limited to, specification of the minimum catalyst temperature
and the minimum cumulative volume of gas per mass of catalyst used for
purging prior to uncontrolled releases (i.e., during controlled purging
events); the maximum purge gas temperature for uncontrolled purge
events; and specification of the monitoring systems that will be used to
monitor and record data during each purge event.

applicable to the unit that is operating and the wet scrubber emission
control device do not apply. The applicable permitting authority may
require that you take specified actions to minimize emissions during the
period of planned maintenance.
(1) You must submit a written request to the applicable permitting
authority at least 6 months before the planned maintenance is scheduled
to begin with a copy to the EPA Regional Administrator.

Sec. Appendix A to Subpart UUU of Part 63--Determination of Metal
Concentration on Catalyst Particles (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)
1.0 Scope and Application.
1.1 Analytes. The analytes for which this method is applicable
include any elements with an atomic number between 11 (sodium) and 92
(uranium), inclusive. Specific analytes for which this method was
developed include:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum detectable
Analyte CAS No. limit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nickel compounds.................. 7440-02-0 <2 % of span.
Total chlorides................... 16887-00-6 <2 % of span.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 179]]
1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable to the determination of
analyte concentrations on catalyst particles. This method is applicable
for catalyst particles obtained from the fluid catalytic cracking unit
(FCCU) regenerator (i.e., equilibrium catalyst), from air pollution
control systems operated for the FCCU catalyst regenerator vent (FCCU
fines), from catalytic reforming units (CRU), and other processes as
specified within an applicable regulation. This method is applicable
only when specified within the regulation.
1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from the analytical
method.
2.0 Summary of Method.
2.1 A representative sample of catalyst particles is collected,
prepared, and analyzed for analyte concentration using either energy or
wavelength dispersive X-ray flourescent (XRF) spectrometry instrumental
analyzers. In both types of XRF spectrometers, the instrument irradiates
the sample with high energy (primary) x-rays and the elements in the
sample absorb the x-rays and then re-emit secondary (fluorescent) x-rays
of characteristic wavelengths for each element present. In energy
dispersive XRF spectrometers, all secondary x-rays (of all wavelengths)
enter the detector at once. The detector registers an electric current
having a height proportional to the photon energy, and these pulses are
then separated electronically, using a pulse analyzer. In wavelength
dispersive XRF spectrometers, the secondary x-rays are dispersed
spatially by crystal diffraction on the basis of wavelength. The crystal
and detector are made to synchronously rotate and the detector then
receives only one wavelength at a time. The intensity of the x-rays
emitted by each element is proportional to its concentration, after
correcting for matrix effects. For nickel compounds and total chlorides,
the XRF instrument response is expected to be linear to analyte
concentration. Performance specifications and test procedures are
provided to ensure reliable data.
3.0 Definitions.
3.1 Measurement System. The total equipment required for the
determination of analyte concentration. The measurement system consists
of the following major subsystems:
3.1.1 Sample Preparation. That portion of a system used for one or
more of the following: sample acquisition, sample transport, sample
conditioning, or sample preparation prior to introducing the sample into
the analyzer.
3.1.2 Analyzer. That portion of the system that senses the analyte
to be measured and generates an output proportional to its
concentration.
3.1.3 Data Recorder. A digital recorder or personal computer used
for recording measurement data from the analyzer output.
3.2 Span. The upper limit of the gas concentration measurement range
displayed on the data recorder.
3.3 Calibration Standards. Prepared catalyst samples or other
samples of known analyte concentrations used to calibrate the analyzer
and to assess calibration drift.
3.4 Energy Calibration Standard. Calibration standard, generally
provided by the XRF instrument manufacturer, used for assuring accuracy
of the energy scale.
3.5 Accuracy Assessment Standard. Prepared catalyst sample or other
sample of known analyte concentrations used to assess analyzer accuracy
error.
3.6 Zero Drift. The difference in the measurement system output
reading from the initial value for zero concentration level calibration
standard after a stated period of operation during which no unscheduled
maintenance, repair, or adjustment took place.
3.7 Calibration Drift. The difference in the measurement system
output reading from the initial value for the mid-range calibration
standard after a stated period of operation during which no unscheduled
maintenance, repair, or adjustment took place.
3.8 Spectral Interferences. Analytical interferences and excessive
biases caused by elemental peak overlap, escape peak, and sum peak
interferences between elements in the samples.
3.9 Calibration Curve. A graph or other systematic method of
establishing the relationship between the analyzer response and the
actual analyte concentration introduced to the analyzer.
3.10 Analyzer Accuracy Error. The difference in the measurement
system output reading and the ideal value for the accuracy assessment
standard.
4.0 Interferences.
4.1 Spectral interferences with analyte line intensity determination
are accounted for within the method program. No action is required by
the XRF operator once these interferences have been addressed within the
method.
4.2 The X-ray production efficiency is affected by particle size for
the very lightest elements. However, particulate matter (PM) 2.5
particle size effects are substantially < 1 percent for most elements.
The calibration standards should be prepared with material of similar
particle size or be processed (ground) to produce material of similar
particle size as the catalyst samples to be analyzed. No additional
correction for particle size is performed. Alternatively, the sample can
be fused in order to eliminate any potential particle size effects.
[[Page 180]]
5.0 Safety.
5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials,
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to performing this test method.
5.2 X-ray Exposure. The XRF uses X-rays; XRF operators should follow
instrument manufacturer's guidelines to protect from accidental exposure
to X-rays when the instrument is in operation.
5.3 Beryllium Window. In most XRF units, a beryllium (Be) window is
present to separate the sample chamber from the X-ray tube and detector.
The window is very fragile and brittle. Do not allow sample or debris to
fall onto the window, and avoid using compressed air to clean the window
because it will cause the window to rupture. If the window should
rupture, note that Be metal is poisonous. Use extreme caution when
collecting pieces of Be and consult the instrument manufacturer for
advice on cleanup of the broken window and replacement.
6.0 Equipment and Supplies.
6.1 Measurement System. Use any measurement system that meets the
specifications of this method listed in section 13. The typical
components of the measurement system are described below.
6.1.1 Sample Mixer/Mill. Stainless steel, or equivalent to grind/mix
catalyst and binders, if used, to produce uniform particle samples.
6.1.2 Sample Press/Fluxer. Stainless steel, or equivalent to produce
pellets of sufficient size to fill analyzer sample window, or
alternatively, a fusion device capable of preparing a fused disk of
sufficient size to fill analyzer sample window.
6.1.3 Analytical Balance. 0.0001 gram accuracy
for weighing prepared samples (pellets).
6.1.4 Analyzer. An XRF spectrometer to determine the analyte
concentration in the prepared sample. The analyzer must meet the
applicable performance specifications in section 13.
6.1.5 Data Recorder. A digital recorder or personal computer for
recording measurement data. The data recorder resolution (i.e.,
readability) must be 0.5 percent of span. Alternatively, a digital or
analog meter having a resolution of 0.5 percent of span may be used to
obtain the analyzer responses and the readings may be recorded manually.
7.0 Reagents and Standards.
7.1 Calibration Standards. The calibration standards for the
analyzer must be prepared catalyst samples or other material of similar
particle size and matrix as the catalyst samples to be tested that have
known concentrations of the analytes of interest. Preparation (grinding/
milling/fusion) of the calibration standards should follow the same
processes used to prepare the catalyst samples to be tested. The
calibration standards values must be established as the average of a
minimum of three analyses using an approved EPA or ASTM method with
instrument analyzer calibrations traceable to the U.S. National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), if available. The maximum
percent deviation of the triplicate calibration standard analyses should
agree within 10 percent of the average value for the triplicate analysis
(see Figure 1). If the calibration analyses do not meet this criteria,
the calibration standards must be re-analyzed. If unacceptable
variability persists, new calibration standards must be prepared.
Approved methods for the calibration standard analyses include, but are
not limited to, EPA Methods 6010B, 6020, 7520, or 7521 of SW-846.\1\ Use
a minimum of four calibration standards as specified below (see Figure
1):
7.1.1 High-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent to
80 to 100 percent of the span. The concentration of the high-range
calibration standard should exceed the maximum concentration anticipated
in the catalyst samples.
7.1.2 Mid-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent to 40
to 60 percent of the span.
7.1.3 Low-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent to 1
to 20 percent of the span. The concentration of the low-range
calibration standard should be selected so that it is less than either
one-forth of the applicable concentration limit or of the lowest
concentration anticipated in the catalyst samples.
7.1.4 Zero Calibration Standard. Concentration of less than 0.25
percent of the span.
7.2 Accuracy Assessment Standard. Prepare an accuracy assessment
standard and determine the ideal value for the accuracy assessment
standard following the same procedures used to prepare and analyze the
calibration standards as described in section 7.1. The maximum percent
deviation of the triplicate accuracy assessment standard analyses should
agree within 10 percent of the average value for the triplicate analysis
(see Figure 1). The concentration equivalent of the accuracy assessment
standard must be between 20 and 80 percent of the span.
7.3 Energy Calibration Standard. Generally, the energy calibration
standard will be provided by the XRF instrument manufacturer for energy
dispersive spectrometers. Energy calibration is performed using the
manufacturer's recommended calibration standard and involves measurement
of a specific energy line (based on the metal in the
[[Page 181]]
energy calibration standard). This is generally an automated procedure
used to assure the accuracy of the energy scale. This calibration
standard may not be applicable to all models of XRF spectrometers
(particularly wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometers).
8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage. [Reserved]
9.0 Quality Control.
9.1 Energy Calibration. For energy dispersive spectrometers, conduct
the energy calibration by analyzing the energy calibration standard
provided by the manufacturer. The energy calibration involves
measurement of a specific energy line (based on the metal in the energy
calibration standard) and then determination of the difference between
the measured peak energy value and the ideal value. This analysis, if
applicable, should be performed daily prior to any sample analyses to
check the instrument's energy scale. This is generally an automated
procedure and assures the accuracy of the energy scale. If the energy
scale calibration process is not automated, follow the manufacturer's
procedures to manually adjust the instrument, as necessary.
9.2 Zero Drift Test. Conduct the zero drift test by analyzing the
analyte concentration output by the measurement system with the initial
calibration value for the zero calibration standard (see Figure 2). This
analysis should be performed with each set of samples analyzed.
9.3 Calibration Drift Test. Conduct the calibration drift test by
analyzing the analyte concentration output by the measurement system
with the initial calibration value for the mid-range calibration
standard (see Figure 2). This analysis should be performed with each set
of samples analyzed.
9.4 Analyzer Accuracy Test. Conduct the analyzer accuracy test by
analyzing the accuracy assessment standard and comparing the value
output by the measurement system with the ideal value for the accuracy
assessment standard (see Figure 2). This analysis should be performed
with each set of samples analyzed.
10.0 Calibration and Standardization.
10.1 Perform the initial calibration and set-up following the
instrument manufacturer's instructions. These procedures should include,
at a minimum, the major steps listed in sections 10.2 and 10.3.
Subsequent calibrations are to be performed when either a quality
assurance/quality control (QA/QC) limit listed in section 13 is exceeded
or when there is a change in the excitation conditions, such as a change
in the tube, detector, X-ray filters, or signal processor. Calibrations
are typically valid for 6 months to 1 year.
10.2 Instrument Calibration. Calibration is performed initially with
calibration standards of similar matrix and binders, if used, as the
samples to be analyzed (see Figure 1).
10.3 Reference Peak Spectra. Acquisition of reference spectra is
required only during the initial calibration. As long as no processing
methods have changed, these peak shape references remain valid. This
procedure consists of placing the standards in the instrument and
acquiring individual elemental spectra that are stored in the method
file with each of the analytical conditions. These reference spectra are
used in the standard deconvolution of the unknown spectra.
11.0 Analytical Procedure.
11.1 Sample Preparation. Prepare catalyst samples using the same
procedure used to prepare the calibration standards. Measure and record
the weight of sample used. Measure and record the amount of binder, if
any, used. Pellets or films must be of sufficient size to cover the
analyzer sample window.
11.2 Sample Analyses. Place the prepared catalyst samples into the
analyzer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for analyzing the
samples.
11.3 Record and Store Data. Use a digital recorder or personal
computer to record and store results for each sample. Record any
mechanical or software problems encountered during the analysis.
12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations.
Carry out the following calculations, retaining at least one extra
significant figure beyond that of the acquired data. Round off figures
after final calculation.
12.1 Drift. Calculate the zero and calibration drift for the tests
described in sections 9.2 and 9.3 (see also Figure 2) as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.010
Where:
CurrentAnalyzerCal.Response = Instrument response for current QC sample
analyses;
InitialCal.Response = Initial instrument response for calibration
standard;
[[Page 182]]
QC Value = QC metric (zero drift or calibration drift), percent of span;
Span = Span of the monitoring system.
12.2 Analyzer Accuracy. Calculate the analyzer accuracy error for
the tests described in section 9.4 (see also Figure 2) as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.011
Where:
Accuracy Value = Percent difference of instrument response to the ideal
response for the accuracy assessment standard;
CurrentAnalyzerCal.Response = Instrument response for current QC sample
analyses;
IdealCal.Response = Ideal instrument response for the accuracy
assessment standard.
13.0 Method Performance.
13.1 Analytical Range. The analytical range is determined by the
instrument design. For this method, a portion of the analytical range is
selected by choosing the span of the monitoring system. The span of the
monitoring system must be selected such that it encompasses the range of
concentrations anticipated to occur in the catalyst sample. If
applicable, the span must be selected such that the analyte
concentration equivalent to the emission standard is not less than 30
percent of the span. If the measured analyte concentration exceeds the
concentration of the high-range calibration standard, the sample
analysis is considered invalid. Additionally, if the measured analyte
concentration is less than the concentration of the low-range
calibration standard but above the detectable limit, the sample analysis
results must be flagged with a footnote stating, in effect, that the
analyte was detected but that the reported concentration is below the
lower quantitation limit.
13.2 Minimum Detectable Limit. The minimum detectable limit depends
on the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement system. For a well-
designed system, the minimum detectable limit should be less than 2
percent of the span.
13.3 Zero Drift. Less than 2 percent of the
span.
13.4 Calibration Drift. Less than 5 percent of
the span.
13.5 Analyzer Accuracy Error. Less than 10
percent.

Subpart VVV_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Publicly Owned Treatment Works
Source: 64 FR 57579, Oct. 26, 1999, unless otherwise noted.
Applicability
Sec. 63.1580 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if the following are all true:
(1) You own or operate a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) that
includes an affected source (Sec. 63.1595);
(2) The affected source is located at a POTW which is a major source
of HAP emissions, or at any industrial POTW regardless of whether or not
it is a major source of HAP; and
(3) Your POTW is required to develop and implement a pretreatment
program as defined by 40 CFR 403.8 (for a POTW owned or operated by a
municipality, State, or intermunicipal or interstate agency), or your
POTW would meet the general criteria for development and implementation
of a pretreatment program (for a POTW owned or operated by a department,
agency, or instrumentality of the Federal government).
(b) If your existing POTW treatment plant is not located at a major
source as of October 26, 1999, but thereafter becomes a major source for
any reason other than reconstruction, then, for the purpose of this
subpart, your POTW treatment plant would be considered an existing
source. Note to Paragraph (b): See Sec. 63.2 of the national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) General Provisions in
subpart A of this part for the definitions of major source and area
source.
(c) If you reconstruct your POTW treatment plant, then the
requirements for a new or reconstructed POTW treatment plant, as defined
in Sec. 63.1595, apply.
[67 FR 64745, Oct. 21, 2002]
Sec. 63.1581 Does the subpart distinguish between different types of
POTW treatment plants?
Yes, POTW treatment plants are divided into two subcategories. A
POTW treatment plant which does not meet the characteristics of an
industrial POTW treatment plant belongs in the non-industrial POTW
treatment plant subcategory as defined in Sec. 63.1595.
Industrial POTW Treatment Plant Description and Requirements
Sec. 63.1582 What are the characteristics of an industrial POTW
treatment plant?
(a) Your POTW is an industrial POTW treatment plant if an industrial
discharger complies with its NESHAP by using the treatment and controls
located at your POTW. Your POTW accepts the regulated waste stream and
provides treatment and controls as an agent for the industrial
discharger. Industrial POTW treatment plant is defined in Sec. 63.1595.
(b) If, in the future, an industrial discharger begins complying
with its NESHAP by using the treatment and controls at your POTW, then
on the date that the industrial discharger certifies compliance, your
POTW treatment plant will be considered an industrial POTW treatment
plant.
[[Page 184]]
(c) If your POTW treatment plant accepts one or more specific
regulated industrial waste streams as part of compliance with one or
more other NESHAP, then you are subject to all the requirements of each
appropriate NESHAP for each waste stream, as described in the following
section. In the case of overlapping NESHAP requirements, the more
stringent of the requirements will apply.
Sec. 63.1583 What are the emission points and control requirements
for an industrial POTW treatment plant?
(a) The emission points and control requirements for an existing
industrial POTW treatment plant are specified in the appropriate
NESHAP(s) for the industrial user(s) (see Sec. 63.1582). For example,
an existing industrial POTW treatment plant that provides treatment for
a facility subject to subpart FF of this part, the National Emission
Standard for Benzene Waste Operations, must meet the treatment and
control requirements specified in Sec. 61.348(d)(4) of this chapter.
(b) The emission points and control requirements for a new or
reconstructed industrial POTW treatment plant are either those specified
by the particular NESHAP(s) which apply to the industrial user(s) who
discharge their waste for treatment to the POTW, or those emission
points and control requirements set forth in Sec. 63.1586. The set of
control requirements which applies to a particular new or reconstructed
POTW is that set which requires the most stringent overall control of
HAP emissions. If you are uncertain which set of requirements is more
stringent, this determination should be made in consultation with the
permitting authority. Reconstruction is defined in Sec. 63.1595.
Sec. 63.1584 When do I have to comply?
(a) Existing industrial POTW treatment plant. If you have an
existing industrial POTW treatment plant, the appropriate NESHAP(s) for
the industrial user(s) sets the compliance date, or the compliance date
is 60 days after October 26, 1999, whichever is later.
(b) New industrial POTW treatment plant. If you have a new
industrial POTW treatment plant, you must be in compliance as soon as
you begin accepting the waste stream(s) for treatment. If you begin
accepting a specific regulated industrial waste stream(s) for treatment,
you must be in compliance by the time specified in the appropriate
NESHAP(s) for the industrial user(s).
Sec. 63.1585 How does an industrial POTW treatment plant demonstrate
compliance?
(a) An existing industrial POTW treatment plant demonstrates
compliance by operating treatment and control devices which meet all
requirements specified in the appropriate industrial NESHAP(s).
Requirements may include performance tests, routine monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting.
(b) If you have a new or reconstructed industrial POTW plant, you
must first determine whether the control requirements set forth in the
applicable industrial NESHAP(s) or the control requirements applicable
to a new or reconstructed nonindustrial POTW under Sec. 63.1586 would
require more stringent overall control of HAP emissions. You must then
meet whichever set of requirements is more stringent. If you determine
that the controls required by the applicable industrial NESHAP(s) are
more stringent, you demonstrate compliance by operating treatment and
control devices which meet all requirements specified in those
industrial NESHAP(s). If you determine that the controls required for a
new or reconstructed nonindustrial POTW are more stringent, you
demonstrate compliance by meeting all requirements in Sec. Sec. 63.1586
through 63.1590.
Non-industrial POTW Treatment Plant Requirements
Sec. 63.1586 What are the emission points and control requirements
for a non-industrial POTW treatment plant?
There are no control requirements for an existing non-industrial
POTW treatment plant. There are no control requirements for any new or
reconstructed area source non-industrial POTW treatment plant which is
not a major source of HAP. The control requirements for a new or
reconstructed
[[Page 185]]
major source non-industrial POTW treatment plant which is a major
source of HAP are as follows:
(a) Covers on the emission points up to, but not including, the
secondary influent pumping station or the secondary treatment units.
These emission points are treatment units that include, but are not
limited to, influent waste stream conveyance channels, bar screens, grit
chambers, grinders, pump stations, aerated feeder channels, primary
clarifiers, primary effluent channels, and primary screening stations.
In addition, all covered units, except primary clarifiers, must have the
air in the headspace ducted to a control device in accordance with the
standards for closed-vent systems and control devices in Sec. 63.693 of
subpart DD of this part, except you may substitute visual inspections
for leak checks rather than Method 21 of Appendix A of part 60 of this
chapter. Reconstruction is defined in Sec. 63.1595.
(1) Covers must be tightly fitted and designed and operated to
minimize exposure of the wastewater to the atmosphere. This includes,
but is not limited to, the absence of visible cracks, holes, or gaps in
the roof sections or between the roof and the supporting wall; broken,
cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets on closure devices; and
broken or missing hatches, access covers, caps, or other closure
devices.
(2) If wastewater is in a treatment unit, each opening must be
maintained in a closed, sealed position, unless plant personnel are
present and conducting wastewater or sludge sampling, or equipment
inspection, maintenance, or repair.
(b) As an alternative to the requirements in paragraph (a) of this
section, you may comply by demonstrating, for all units up to the
secondary influent pumping station or the secondary treatment units,
that the fraction emitted does not exceed 0.014. You must demonstrate
that for your POTW, the sum of all HAP emissions from those units
divided by the sum of all HAP mass loadings results in an annual rolling
average of the fraction emitted no greater than 0.014. You may use any
combination of pretreatment, wastewater treatment plant modifications,
and control devices to achieve this performance standard; however, you
must demonstrate, to the Administrator's satisfaction that:
(1) You have accurately determined your POTW's annual HAP mass
loadings and your POTW's annual HAP emissions as of the date of start-
up;
(2) Your POTW meets the fraction emitted standard of 0.014 or less;
and
(3) Your POTW has established procedures to demonstrate continuous
compliance which are consistent with the criteria set forth in Sec.
63.1588(c)(4).
[64 FR 57579, Oct. 26, 1999, as amended at 66 FR 16142, Mar. 23, 2001;
67 FR 64746, Oct. 21, 2002]
Sec. 63.1587 When do I have to comply?
If your POTW treatment plant began construction on or after December
1, 1998, you must comply with all provisions of this subpart either
immediately upon startup, or by six months after October 26, 1999,
whichever date is later.
Sec. 63.1588 What inspections must I conduct?
(a) If your treatment units are required to have covers, you must
conduct the following inspections:
(1) You must visually check the cover and its closure devices for
defects that could result in air emissions. Defects include, but are not
limited to, visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof sections or
between the roof and the supporting wall; broken, cracked, or otherwise
damaged seals or gaskets on closure devices; and broken or missing
hatches, access covers, caps, or other closure devices.
(2) You must perform an initial visual inspection with follow-up
inspections at least once per year.
(3) In the event that you find a defect on a treatment unit in use,
you must repair the defect within 45 days. If you cannot repair within
45 days, you must notify the EPA or the designated State authority
immediately and report the reason for the delay and the date you expect
to complete the repair. If you find a defect on a treatment unit that is
not in service, you must repair the defect prior to putting the
treatment unit back in wastewater service.
(b) If you own or operate a control device used to meet the
requirements
[[Page 186]]
for Sec. 63.1586, you must comply with the inspection and monitoring
requirements of Sec. 63.695(c) of subpart DD of this part.
(c) To comply with the performance standard specified in Sec.
63.1586(b), you must develop an inspection and monitoring plan. This
inspection and monitoring plan must include, at a minimum, the
following:
(1) A method to determine, to the satisfaction of the Administrator,
the influent HAP mass loading, i.e., the annual mass quantity for each
HAP entering the wastewater treatment plant.
(2) A method to determine, to the satisfaction of the Administrator,
your POTW's annual HAP emissions for all units up to and including the
secondary influent pumping station or up to and not including the
secondary treatment units as of October 26, 1999. The method you use to
determine your HAP emissions, such as modeling or direct source
measurement, must:
(i) Be approved by your EPA Regional Office, State, or local
regulatory agency for use at your POTW;
(ii) Account for all factors affecting emissions from your plant
including, but not limited to, emissions from wastewater treatment
units; emissions resulting from inspection, maintenance, and repair
activities; fluctuations (e.g., daily, monthly, annual, seasonal) in
your influent wastewater HAP concentrations; annual industrial loading;
performance of control devices; or any other factors that could affect
your annual HAP emissions; and
(iii) Include documentation that the values and sources of all data,
operating conditions, assumptions, etc., used in your method result in
an accurate estimation of annual emissions from your plant.
(3) Documentation, to the satisfaction of the Administrator, that
your POTW meets the fraction emitted standard of 0.014 or less, i.e.,
the sum of all HAP emissions from paragraph (c)(2) of this section
divided by the sum of all HAP mass loadings from paragraph (c)(1) of
this section results in a fraction emitted of 0.014 or less as described
in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
(4) A method to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the
Administrator, that your POTW is in continuous compliance with the
requirements of Sec. 63.1586(b). Continuous compliance means that your
emissions, when averaged over the course of a year, do not exceed the
level of emissions that allows your POTW to comply with Sec.
63.1586(b). For example, you may identify a parameter(s) that you can
monitor that assures your emissions, when averaged over the entire year,
will meet the requirements in Sec. 63.1586(b). Some example parameters
that may be considered for monitoring include your wastewater influent
HAP concentration and flow, industrial loading from your permitted
industrial dischargers, and your control device performance criteria.
Where emission reductions are due to proper operation of equipment, work
practices, or other operational procedures, your demonstration must
specify the frequency of inspections and the number of days to
completion of repairs. You must, at a minimum, perform the following
each month to demonstrate that your annual rolling average of the
fraction emitted is 0.014 or less:
(i) Determine the average daily flow of the wastewater entering your
POTW treatment plant for the month;
(ii) Determine the flow-weighted monthly concentration of each HAP
in your influent listed in Table 1 to subpart DD of this part;
(iii) Using the current month's information in paragraphs (c)(4)(i)
and (ii) of this section, determine a total annual loading (Mg/year) of
each HAP entering your POTW treatment plant;
(iv) Sum up the values in paragraph (c)(4)(iii) of this section and
determine a total annual loading value (Mg/year) for all HAP entering
your POTW treatment plant for the current month;
(v) Based on the current month's information in paragraph
(c)(4)(iii) of this section along with source testing and emission
modeling, for each HAP, determine annual emissions (Mg/year) from all
wastewater units up to, but not including, secondary treatment units;
(vi) Sum up the values in paragraph (c)(4)(v) of this section and
determine the total annual emissions value for
[[Page 187]]
the month for all HAP from all wastewater units up to, but not
including, secondary treatment units;
(vii) Calculate the fraction emitted value for the month by dividing
the total annual HAP emissions value from paragraph (c)(4)(vi) of this
section by the total annual loading from paragraph (c)(4)(iv) of this
section; and
(viii) Average the fraction emitted value for the month determined
in paragraph (c)(4)(vii) of this section, with the values determined for
the previous 11 months, to calculate an annual rolling average of the
fraction HAP emitted.
Sec. 63.1589 What records must I keep?
(a) To comply with the equipment standard specified in Sec.
63.1586(a), you must prepare and maintain the records required in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) A record for each treatment unit inspection required by Sec.
63.1588(a). You must include a treatment unit identification number (or
other unique identification description as selected by you) and the date
of inspection.
(2) For each defect detected during inspections required by Sec.

[68 FR 37360, June 23, 2003]
Sec. 63.1595 List of definitions.
Affected source means the group of all equipment that comprise the
POTW treatment plant.
Area source means any stationary source of HAP that is not a major
source.
Cover means a device that prevents or reduces air pollutant
emissions to the atmosphere by forming a continuous barrier over the
waste material managed in a treatment unit. A cover may have openings
(such as access hatches, sampling ports, gauge wells) that are necessary
for operation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of the treatment unit
on which the cover is used. A cover may be a separate piece of equipment
which can be detached and removed from the treatment unit, or a cover
may be formed by structural features permanently integrated into the
design of the treatment unit. The cover and its closure devices must be
made of suitable materials that will minimize exposure of the waste
material to the atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain
the integrity of the cover and its closure devices throughout its
intended service life.
Fraction emitted means the fraction of the mass of HAP entering the
POTW wastewater treatment plant which is emitted prior to secondary
treatment. The value is calculated using the following steps:
(1) Determine mass emissions from all equipment up to, but not
including, secondary treatment for each HAP listed in Table 1 to subpart
DD of this part;
(2) Sum the HAP emissions ([Sigma]E);
(3) Sum the HAP mass loadings ([Sigma]L) in the influent to the POTW
wastewater treatment plant; and
(4) Calculate the fraction emitted (fe monthly) using
fe monthly = [Sigma]E/[Sigma]L.
HAP means hazardous air pollutant(s).
Industrial POTW means a POTW that accepts a waste stream regulated
by an industrial NESHAP and provides treatment and controls as an agent
for the industrial discharger. The industrial discharger complies with
its NESHAP by using the treatment and controls located at the POTW. For
example, an industry discharges its benzene-containing waste stream to
the POTW for treatment to comply with 40 CFR part 61, Subpart FF--
National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations. This definition
does not include POTW treating waste streams not specifically regulated
under another NESHAP.
Industrial user means a nondomestic source introducing any pollutant
or combination of pollutants into a POTW. Industrial users can be
commercial or industrial facilities whose wastes enter local sewers.
Non-industrial POTW means a POTW that does not meet the definition
of an industrial POTW as defined above.
Publicly owned treatment works (POTW) means a treatment works, as
that term is defined by section 112(e)(5) of the Clean Air Act, which is
owned by
[[Page 190]]
a municipality (as defined by section 502(4) of the Clean Water Act), a
State, an intermunicipal or interstate agency, or any department,
agency, or instrumentality of the Federal Government. This definition
includes any intercepting sewers, outfall sewers, sewage collection
systems, pumping, power, and other equipment. The wastewater treated by
these facilities is generated by industrial, commercial, and domestic
sources. As used in this regulation, the term POTW refers to both any
publicly owned treatment works which is owned by a State, municipality,
or intermunicipal or interstate agency and therefore eligible to receive
grant assistance under the Subchapter II of the Clean Water Act, and any
federally owned treatment works as that term is described in section
3023 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act.
POTW treatment plant means that portion of the POTW which is
designed to provide treatment (including recycling and reclamation) of
municipal sewage and industrial waste.
Reconstruction means the replacement of components of an affected or
a previously unaffected stationary source such that:
(1) The fixed capital cost of the new components exceeds 50 percent
of the fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a
comparable new source; and
(2) It is technologically and economically feasible for the
reconstructed source to meet the relevant standard(s) established by the
Administrator (or a State) pursuant to section 112 of the Act. Upon
reconstruction, an affected source, or a stationary source that becomes
an affected source, is subject to relevant standards for new sources,
including compliance dates, irrespective of any change in emissions of
HAP from that source.
Secondary treatment means treatment processes, typically biological,
designed to reduce the concentrations of dissolved and colloidal organic
matter in wastewater.
Waste and wastewater means a material, or spent or used water or
waste, generated from residential, industrial, commercial, mining, or
agricultural operations or from community activities that contain
dissolved or suspended matter, and that is discarded, discharged, or is
being accumulated, stored, or physically, chemically, thermally, or
biologically treated in a publicly owned treatment works.

Sec. 63.1651 Definitions.
Terms in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act (Act), in
subpart A of this part, or in this section as follows:
Bag leak detection system means a system that is capable of
continuously monitoring particulate matter (dust) loadings in the
exhaust of a baghouse in order to detect bag leaks and other upset
conditions. A bag leak detection system includes, but is not limited to,
an instrument that operates on triboelectric, light scattering, light
transmittance, or other effect to continuously monitor relative
particulate matter loadings.
Capture system means the equipment (including hoods, ducts, fans,
dampers, etc.) used to capture or transport particulate matter generated
by an affected submerged arc furnace.
Casting means the period of time from when molten ferroalloy falls
from the furnace tapping runner into the ladle until pouring into molds
is completed. This includes the following operations: ladle filling,
pouring alloy from one ladle to another, slag separation, slag removal,
and ladle transfer by crane, truck, or other conveyance.
Crushing and screening equipment means the crushers, grinders,
mills, screens and conveying systems used to crush, size, and prepare
for packing
[[Page 194]]
manganese-containing materials, including raw materials, intermediate
products, and final products.
Fugitive dust source means a stationary source from which manganese-
bearing particles are discharged to the atmosphere due to wind or
mechanical inducement such as vehicle traffic. Fugitive dust sources
include plant roadways, yard areas, and outdoor material storage and
transfer operations.
Furnace power input means the resistive electrical power consumption
of a submerged arc furnace, expressed as megawatts (MW).
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 caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
Metal oxygen refining (MOR) process means the reduction of the
carbon content of ferromanganese through the use of oxygen.
Open submerged arc furnace means an electric submerged arc furnace

the air pollution control devices and vent stacks associated with the
submerged arc furnaces, with the exception of any air pollution control
devices that serve tapping emissions combined with non-furnace
emissions, such as the MOR process or equipment associated with crushing
and screening. Also excluded are air pollution control devices that
serve dedicated non-furnace emissions, such as the MOR process or
equipment associated with crushing and screening. The results of these
annual tests will be used to demonstrate compliance with the emission
standards in Sec. 63.1652(a) through (e), as applicable.

Qsdi = volumetric flow rate of effluent gas from exhaust
stream ``i'', dscm/hr (dscf/hr)
K = conversion factor, 1 x 10\6\ mg/kg (7,000 gr/lb).
(C) Compliance is demonstrated if the average of the mass rates for
the three runs comprising the performance test does not exceed the
standard.
(iii) An owner or operator of sources subject to the particulate
matter process-weighted rate standard in Sec. 63.1652(a)(1) must
determine compliance as follows:
(A) Determine particulate matter concentration and volumetric flow
rate using Method 5 or 5D, as applicable.
(B) Compute the process-weighted mass rate (EP) of
particulate matter for each run using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR20MY99.001
Where:
EP = process-weighted mass rate of particulate matter, kg/hr/
MW (lb/hr/MW).

rate for the three runs comprising the performance test does not exceed
the standard.
(4) If a venturi scrubber is used to comply with the emission
standards, the owner or operator must establish as a site-specific
operating parameter the lowest average pressure drop on any individual
complying run in the three runs constituting any compliant test. The
pressure drop must be monitored at least every 5 minutes during the test
and hourly averages recorded.
(i) [Reserved]
(ii) The owner or operator may augment the data obtained under
paragraph (a)(4) of this section by conducting multiple performance
tests to establish a range of compliant operating parameter values. The
lowest value of this range would be selected as the operating parameter
monitoring value. The use of historic compliance data may be used to
establish the compliant operating parameter value if the previous values
were recorded during performance tests using the same test methods
specified in this subpart and established as required in paragraph
(a)(4) of this section.
(d) Compliance demonstration with opacity standards. (1)(i) The
owner or operator subject to Sec. 63.1653 must conduct initial opacity
observations of the shop building to demonstrate compliance with the
applicable opacity standards according to Sec. 63.6(h)(5), which
addresses the conduct of opacity or visible emission observations.

of the following: the control system fan motor amperes and all capture
system damper positions, the total volumetric flow rate to the air
pollution control device and all capture system damper positions, or
volumetric flow rate through each separately ducted hood that comprises
the capture system.
(ii) The owner or operator may petition the Administrator to
reestablish these parameters whenever he or she can demonstrate to the
Administrator's satisfaction that the submerged arc furnace operating
conditions upon which the parameters were previously established are no
longer applicable. The values of these parameters determined during the
most recent demonstration of compliance must be maintained at the
appropriate level for each applicable period.
(3) The owner or operator must demonstrate continuing compliance
with the opacity standards by following the monitoring requirements

requirements specified in Sec. Sec. 63.1659(b)(4) and 63.1660(b).
(e) Compliance demonstration with the operational and work practice
standards--(1) Fugitive dust sources. Failure to have a fugitive dust
control plan or failure to report deviations from the plan and take
necessary corrective action would be a violation of the general duty to
ensure that fugitive dust sources are operated and maintained in a
manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for
minimizing emissions per Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i) of subpart A.
(2) Baghouses equipped with bag leak detection systems. The owner or

the bag leak detection system in the calculation.
[[Page 199]]
(ii) Do not include alarms that occur during startup, shutdown, and
malfunction in the calculation if the condition is described in the
startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan and the owner or operator
operates the source during such periods in accordance with Sec.

(iii) Count 1 hour of alarm time for each alarm where the owner or
operator initiates procedures to determine the cause within 1 hour of
the alarm.
(iv) Count the actual time it takes the owner or operator to
initiate procedures to determine the cause of the alarm for each alarm
where the owner or operator does not initiate procedures to determine
the cause within 1 hour of the alarm.
(v) Calculate the percentage of time the alarm on the bag leak
detection system sounds as the ratio of the sum of alarm times to the
total operating time multiplied by 100.

Sec. 63.1657 Monitoring requirements.
(a) Baghouses. (1) For the baghouses serving the submerged arc
furnaces, the metal oxygen refining process, and crushing and screening
operations, the owner or operator must observe on a daily basis for the
presence of any visible emissions.
(2) In addition to the daily visible emissions observation, the
owner or operator must conduct the following activities:
(i) Daily monitoring of pressure drop across each baghouse cell, or
across the baghouse if it is not possible to monitor each cell
individually, to ensure the pressure drop is within the normal operating
range identified in the baghouse maintenance plan.
(ii) Weekly confirmation that dust is being removed from hoppers
through visual inspection, or equivalent means of ensuring the proper
functioning of removal mechanisms.
(iii) Daily check of compressed air supply for pulse-jet baghouses.
(iv) An appropriate methodology for monitoring cleaning cycles to
ensure proper operation.
(v) Monthly check of bag cleaning mechanisms for proper functioning
through visual inspection or equivalent means.

shaker-type baghouses to ensure that the bags are not kinked (kneed or
bent) or laying on their sides. Such checks are not required for shaker-
type baghouses using self-tensioning (spring loaded) devices.
(vii) Quarterly confirmation of the physical integrity of the
baghouse structure through visual inspection of the baghouse interior
for air leaks.
(viii) Semiannual inspection of fans for wear, material buildup, and
corrosion through visual inspection, vibration detectors, or equivalent
means.
(3) In addition to meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and

submerged arc furnace must install and continuously operate a bag leak
detection system if the furnace primary and/or tapping emissions are
ducted to a negative pressure baghouse or to a positive pressure
baghouse equipped with a stack. The bag leak detection system must meet
the following requirements:
(i) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter emissions at
concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains
per actual cubic foot) or less.
(ii) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative particulate matter loadings, and the owner or operator must
continuously record the output from the bag leak detection system.
(iii) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will sound when an increase in relative particulate loadings
is detected over a preset level. The alarm must be located where it can
be heard by the appropriate plant personnel.
(iv) Each bag leak detection system that works based on the
triboelectric effect must be installed, calibrated, operated, and
maintained consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
guidance document ``Fabric Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance''
[[Page 200]]
(EPA-454/R-98-015). Other bag leak detection systems must be installed,
calibrated, and maintained consistent with the manufacturer's written
specifications and recommendations.
(v) The initial adjustment of the system must, at a 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.
(vi) Following initial adjustment, the owner or operator must not
adjust the sensitivity or range, averaging period, alarm set points, or
alarm delay time, except as detailed in the maintenance plan required
under Sec. 63.1655(b). In no event must the sensitivity be increased by
more than 100 percent or decreased more than 50 percent over a 365-day
period unless a responsible official certifies the baghouse has been
inspected and found to be in good operating condition.
(vii) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(4) As part of the maintenance plan required by Sec. 63.1655(b),
the owner or operator must develop and implement corrective action
procedures to be followed in the case of a bag leak detection system
alarm (for baghouses equipped with such a system), the observation of
visible emissions from the baghouse, or the indication through the
periodic baghouse system inspections that the system is not operating
properly. The owner or operator must initiate corrective action as soon
as practicable after the occurrence of the observation or event
indicating a problem.
(5) The corrective action plan must include procedures used to
determine the cause of an alarm or other indications of problems as well
as actions to minimize emissions. These actions may include the
following:
(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) Shutting down the process producing the particulate matter
emissions.
(6) Failure to monitor or failure to take corrective action under
the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section would be a violation
of the general duty to operate in a manner consistent with good air
pollution control practices that minimizes emissions per Sec.
63.6(e)(1)(i) of subpart A.
(b) Venturi scrubbers. (1) The owner or operator must monitor the
pressure drop across the venturi at least every 5 minutes and record the
average hourly pressure drop. Measurement of an average hourly pressure
drop less than the pressure drop operating parameter limit established
during a successful compliance demonstration would be a violation of the
applicable emission standard, unless the excursion in the pressure drop
is due to a malfunction.
(2) As part of the maintenance plan required by Sec. 63.1655(b),
the owner or operator must develop and implement corrective action
procedures to be followed in the case of a violation of the pressure
drop requirement. The owner or operator must initiate corrective action
as soon as practicable after the excursion.
(3) Failure to monitor or failure to take corrective action under
the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section is a violation of the
general duty to operate in a manner consistent with good air pollution
control practices that minimizes emissions per Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i).
(c) Shop opacity. The owner or operator subject to the opacity
standards in Sec. 63.1653 must comply with one of the monitoring
options in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2) or (c)(3) of this section. The
selected option must be consistent with that selected during the initial
performance test described in Sec. 63.1656(d)(2). Alternatively, the
owner or operator may use the provisions of
[[Page 201]]
Sec. 63.8(f) to request approval to use an alternative monitoring
method.
(1) The owner or operator must check and record the control system
fan motor amperes and capture system damper positions once per shift.
(2) The owner or operator must install, calibrate, and maintain a
monitoring device that continuously records the volumetric flow rate
through each separately ducted hood.
(3) The owner or operator must install, calibrate, and maintain a
monitoring device that continuously records the volumetric flow rate at
the inlet of the air pollution control device and must check and record
the capture system damper positions once per shift.
(4) The flow rate monitoring devices must meet the following
requirements:
(i) Be installed in an appropriate location in the exhaust duct such
that reproducible flow rate monitoring will result.
(ii) Have an accuracy 10 percent over its
normal operating range and be calibrated according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
(5) The Administrator may require the owner or operator to
demonstrate the accuracy of the monitoring device(s) relative to Methods
1 and 2 of appendix A of part 60 of this chapter.
(6) Failure to maintain the appropriate capture system parameters
(fan motor amperes, flow rate, and/or damper positions) establishes the
need to initiate corrective action as soon as practicable after the
monitoring excursion in order to minimize excess emissions.
(7) Failure to monitor or failure to take corrective action under
the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section is a violation of the
general duty to operate in a manner consistent with good air pollution
control practices that minimizes emissions per Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i).

General and Continuing Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.1960 How is compliance determined?
Compliance is determined in the same way it is determined for 40 CFR
part 60, subpart WWW, including performance testing, monitoring of the
collection system, continuous parameter monitoring, and other credible
evidence. In addition, continuous parameter monitoring data, collected
[[Page 208]]
under 40 CFR 60.756(b)(1), (c)(1), and (d) of subpart WWW, are used to
demonstrate compliance with the operating conditions for control
systems. If a deviation occurs, you have failed to meet the control
device operating conditions described in this subpart and have deviated
from the requirements of this subpart. Finally, you must develop a
written SSM plan according to the provisions in 40 CFR 63.6(e)(3). A
copy of the SSM plan must be maintained on site. Failure to write or
maintain a copy of the SSM plan is a deviation from the requirements of
this subpart.
[68 FR 2238, Jan. 16, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20462, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.1965 What is a deviation?
A deviation is defined in Sec. 63.1990. For the purposes of the
landfill monitoring and SSM plan requirements, deviations include the
items in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section.
(a) A deviation occurs when the control device operating parameter
boundaries described in 40 CFR 60.758(c)(1) of subpart WWW are exceeded.
(b) A deviation occurs when 1 hour or more of the hours during the
3-hour block averaging period does not constitute a valid hour of data.
A valid hour of data must have measured values for at least three 15-
minute monitoring periods within the hour.
(c) A deviation occurs when a SSM plan is not developed or
maintained on site.
[68 FR 2238, Jan. 16, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20462, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.1975 How do I calculate the 3-hour block average used to
demonstrate compliance?
Averages are calculated in the same way as they are calculated in 40
CFR part 60, subpart WWW, except that the data collected during the
events listed in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this section are
not to be included in any average computed under this subpart:
(a) Monitoring system breakdowns, repairs, calibration checks, and
zero (low-level) and high-level adjustments.
(b) Startups.
(c) Shutdowns.
(d) Malfunctions.
Notifications, Records, and Reports

of this subpart. Applicable records in the general provisions include
items such as SSM plans and the SSM plan reports.
(c) For bioreactors at new affected sources you must submit the
initial semiannual compliance report and performance test results
described in 40 CFR 60.757(f) within 180 days after the date you are
required to begin operating the gas collection and control system by
Sec. 63.1947(a)(2) of this subpart.
(d) For bioreactors at existing affected sources, you must submit
the initial semiannual compliance report and performance test results
described in 40 CFR 60.757(f) within 180 days after the compliance date
specified in Sec. 63.1947(b) of this subpart, unless you have
previously submitted a compliance report for the bioreactor required by
40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW, the Federal plan, or an EPA approved and
effective State plan or tribal plan.
(e) For bioreactors that are located at existing affected sources,
but do not initiate liquids addition until later than the compliance
date in Sec. 63.1947(b) of this subpart, you must submit the initial
semiannual compliance report and performance tests results described in
40 CFR 60.757(f) within 180 days after the date you are required to
begin operating the gas collection and control system by Sec.
63.1947(c) of this subpart.
(f) If you must submit a semiannual compliance report for a

portion of the same landfill, you may delay submittal of a subsequent
semiannual compliance report for the bioreactor according to
[[Page 209]]
paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section so that the reports may be
submitted on the same schedule.
(1) After submittal of your initial semiannual compliance report and
performance test results for the bioreactor, you may delay submittal of
the subsequent semiannual compliance report for the bioreactor until the
date the initial or subsequent semiannual compliance report is due for
the conventional portion of your landfill.
(2) You may delay submittal of your subsequent semiannual compliance
report by no more than 12 months after the due date for submitting the
initial semiannual compliance report and performance test results
described in 40 CFR 60.757(f) for the bioreactor. The report shall cover
the time period since the previous semiannual report for the bioreactor,
which would be a period of at least 6 months and no more than 12 months.
(3) After the delayed semiannual report, all subsequent semiannual
reports for the bioreactor must be submitted every 6 months on the same
date the semiannual report for the conventional portion of the landfill
is due.
(g) If you add any liquids other than leachate in a controlled
fashion to the waste mass and do not comply with the bioreactor
requirements in Sec. Sec. 63.1947, 63.1955(c) and 63.1980(c) through
(f) of this subpart, you must keep a record of calculations showing that
the percent moisture by weight expected in the waste mass to which
liquid is added is less than 40 percent. The calculation must consider
the waste mass, moisture content of the incoming waste, mass of water
added to the waste including leachate recirculation and other liquids
addition and precipitation, and the mass of water removed through
leachate or other water losses. Moisture level sampling or mass balances
calculations can be used. You must document the calculations and the
basis of any assumptions. Keep the record of the calculations until you
cease liquids addition.
(h) If you calculate moisture content to establish the date your
bioreactor is required to begin operating the collection and control
system under Sec. 63.1947(a)(2) or (c)(2), keep a record of the
calculations including the information specified in paragraph (g) of
this section for 5 years. Within 90 days after the bioreactor achieves
40 percent moisture content, report the results of the calculation, the
date the bioreactor achieved 40 percent moisture content by weight, and
the date you plan to begin collection and control system operation.

Subpart CCCC_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast
Source: 66 FR 27884, May 21, 2001, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.2130 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission limitations for hazardous
air pollutants emitted from manufacturers of nutritional yeast. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission limitations.
Sec. 63.2131 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a
nutritional yeast manufacturing facility that is, is located at, or is
part of a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.
(1) A manufacturer of nutritional yeast is a facility that makes
yeast for the purpose of becoming an ingredient in dough for bread or
any other yeast-raised baked product, or for becoming a nutritional food
additive intended for consumption by humans. A manufacturer of
nutritional yeast does not include production of yeast intended for
consumption by animals, such as an additive for livestock feed.
(2) 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, any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more
per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25
tons) or more per year.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 63.2132 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
``affected source'' that produces Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a
nutritional yeast manufacturing facility.
(b) The affected source is the collection of equipment used in the
manufacture of the nutritional yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
This collection of equipment includes, but is not limited to,
fermentation vessels (fermenters). The collection of equipment used in
the manufacture of the nutritional yeast species Candida utilis (torula
yeast) is not part of the affected source.
(c) The emission limitations in this subpart apply to fermenters in
the affected source that meet all of the criteria listed in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (2) of this section.
(1) The fermenters are ``fed-batch'' as defined in Sec. 63.2192.
(2) The fermenters are used to support one of the last three
fermentation stages in a production run, which may be referred to as
``stock, first generation, and trade,'' ``seed, semi-seed, and
[[Page 212]]
commercial,'' or ``CB4, CB5, and CB6'' stages.
(d) The emission limitations in this subpart do not apply to flask,
pure-culture, yeasting-tank, or any other set-batch fermentation, and
they do not apply to any operations after the last dewatering operation,
such as filtration.
(e) The emission limitations in this subpart do not apply to the
affected source during the production of specialty yeast (defined in
Sec. 63.2192).
(f) An affected source is a ``new affected source'' if you commenced
construction of the affected source after October 19, 1998, and you met
the applicability criteria in Sec. 63.2131 at the time you commenced
construction.
(g) An affected source is ``reconstructed'' if you meet the criteria
as defined in Sec. 63.2.
(h) An affected source is ``existing'' if it is not new or
reconstructed.
Sec. 63.2133 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source, you must
comply with paragraphs (a)(1) through (2) of this section.
(1) If you start up your affected source before May 21, 2001, then
you must comply with the emission limitations in this subpart no later
than May 21, 2001.
(2) If you start up your affected source after May 21, 2001, then
you must comply with the emission limitations in this subpart upon
startup of your affected source.
(b) If you have an existing affected source, you must comply with
the emission limitations for existing sources no later than May 21,
2004.
(c) If you have an area source that increases its emissions, or its
potential to emit, so that it becomes a major source of HAP, paragraphs
(c)(1) through (2) of this section apply.
(1) Any portion of the existing facility that is a new affected
source or a new reconstructed source must be in compliance with this
subpart upon startup.
(2) All other parts of the source 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. 63.2180
according to the schedule in Sec. 63.2180 and in subpart A of this
part.
Emission Limitations
Sec. 63.2140 What emission limitations must I meet?
You must meet all of the emission limitations in Table 1 to this
subpart.
General Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.2150 What are my general requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) You must be in compliance with the emission limitations in Table
1 to this subpart at all times, except during periods of malfunction.
(b) You must always operate and maintain your affected source,
including monitoring equipment, according to the provisions in Sec.
63.6(e)(1)(i). If the date upon which you must demonstrate initial
compliance as specified in Sec. 63.2160 falls after the compliance date
specified for your affected source in Sec. 63.2133, then you must
maintain a log detailing the operation and maintenance of the continuous
monitoring systems and the process and emissions control equipment
during the period between those dates.
(c) You must develop a written malfunction plan. It will be as
specified in Sec. 63.6(e)(3), except that the requirements for startup,
shutdown, and maintenance plans, records and reports apply only to
malfunctions. Under this subpart, a period of malfunction is expressed
in whole batches and not in portions of batches.

Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.2160 By what date must I conduct an initial compliance
demonstration?
(a) For each emission limitation in Table 1 to this subpart for
which compliance is demonstrated by monitoring fermenter exhaust, you
must demonstrate initial compliance for the period ending on the last
day of the month that is 12 calendar months (or 11
[[Page 213]]
calendar months, if the compliance date for your source is the first day
of the month) after the compliance date that is specified for your
source in Sec. 63.2133. (For example, if the compliance date is October
15, 2003, the first 12-month period for which you must demonstrate
compliance would be October 15, 2003 through October 31, 2004.)
(b) For each emission limitation in Table 1 to this subpart for
which initial compliance is demonstrated by monitoring brew ethanol
concentration and calculating volatile organic compound (VOC)
concentration in the fermenter exhaust according to the procedures in
Sec. 63.2161, you must demonstrate initial compliance within 180
calendar days before the compliance date that is specified for your
source in Sec. 63.2133.
Sec. 63.2161 What performance tests and other procedures must I
use if I monitor brew ethanol?
(a) You must conduct each performance test in Table 2 to this
subpart that applies to you.
(b) Each performance test must be conducted according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.7(e)(1) and under the specific conditions that
this subpart specifies in Table 2 to this subpart and in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Conduct each performance test simultaneously with brew ethanol
monitoring to establish a brew-to-exhaust correlation equation as
specified in paragraph (f) of this section.
(2) For each fermentation stage, conduct one run of the EPA Test
Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, over the entire length of a
batch. The three fermentation stages do not have to be from the same
production run.
(3) Do the test at a point in the exhaust-gas stream before you
inject any dilution air, which is any air not needed to control
fermentation.
(4) Record the results of the test for each fermentation stage.
(c) You may not conduct performance tests during periods of startup,
shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1).
(d) You must collect data to correlate the brew ethanol
concentration measured by the continuous emission monitoring system
(CEMS) to the VOC concentration in the fermenter exhaust according to
paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) You must collect a separate set of brew ethanol concentration
data for each fed-batch fermentation stage while manufacturing the
product that comprises the largest percentage (by mass) of average
annual production.
(2) Measure brew ethanol as specified in Sec. 63.2164
simultaneously with conducting a performance test for VOC in fermenter
exhaust as specified in paragraph (b) of this section. You must measure
brew ethanol at least once during each successive 30-minute period over
the entire period of the performance test for VOC in fermenter exhaust.
(3) Keep a record of the brew ethanol concentration data for each
fermentation stage over the period of EPA Test Method 25A of 40 CFR part
60, appendix A, performance test when the VOC concentration in the
fermenter exhaust does not exceed the applicable emission limitation in
Table 1 to this subpart.
(e) For each set of data that you collected under paragraph (d) of
this section, perform a linear regression of brew ethanol concentration
(percent) on VOC fermenter exhaust concentration (parts per million by
volume (ppmv) measured as propane). The correlation between the brew
ethanol concentration as measured by the CEMS and the VOC fermenter
exhaust concentration as measured by EPA Test Method 25A of 40 CFR part
60, appendix A, must be linear with a correlation coefficient of at
least 0.90.
(f) Calculate the VOC concentration in the fermenter exhaust using
the brew ethanol concentration data collected under paragraph (d) of
this section and according to Equation 1 of this section.
BAVOC = BAE * CF + y (Eq. 1)
Where:
BAVOC = batch-average concentration of VOC in fermenter exhaust (ppmv
measured as propane), calculated for compliance demonstration
BAE = batch-average concentration of brew ethanol in fermenter liquid
(percent), measured by CEMS
CF = constant established at performance test and representing the slope
of the regression line
[[Page 214]]
y = constant established at performance test and representing the y-
intercept of the regression line
Sec. 63.2162 When must I conduct subsequent performance tests?
(a) For each emission limitation in Table 1 to this subpart for
which compliance is demonstrated by monitoring brew ethanol
concentration and calculating VOC concentration in the fermenter exhaust
according to the procedures in Sec. 63.2161, you must conduct an EPA
Test Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, performance test and
establish a brew-to-exhaust correlation according to the procedures in
Table 2 to this subpart and in Sec. 63.2161, at least once every year.
(b) The first subsequent performance test must be conducted no later
than 365 calendar days after the initial performance test conducted
according to Sec. 63.2160. Each subsequent performance test must be
conducted no later than 365 calendar days after the previous performance
test. You must conduct a performance test for each 365 calendar day
period for the lifetime of the affected source.
Sec. 63.2163 If I monitor fermenter exhaust, what are my monitoring
installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) Each CEMS must be installed, operated, and maintained according
to the applicable Performance Specification (PS) of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix B.
(b) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CEMS according
to the requirements in Sec. 63.8, according to the applicable
Performance Specification of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, and according
to paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) If your CEMS monitor generates a single combined response value
for VOC (examples of such detection principles are flame ionization,
photoionization, and non-dispersive infrared absorption), but it is not
a flame ionization analyzer, you must use PS 8 to show that your CEMS is
operating properly.
(i) Use EPA Test Method 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to do the
relative-accuracy test PS 8 requires.
(ii) Calibrate the reference method with propane.
(iii) Collect a 1-hour sample for each reference-method test.
(2) If you continuously monitor VOC emissions using a flame
ionization analyzer, then you must conduct the calibration drift test PS
8 requires, but you are not required to conduct the relative-accuracy
test PS 8 requires.
(3) If you continuously monitor VOC emissions using gas
chromatography, you must use PS 9 of CFR part 60, appendix B, to show
that your CEMS is operating properly.
(4) You must complete the performance evaluation and submit the
performance evaluation report before the compliance date that is
specified for your source in Sec. 63.2133.
(c) Calibrate the CEMS with propane.
(d) Set the CEMS span at not greater than 5 times the relevant
emission limit, with 1.5 to 2.5 times the relevant emission limit being
the range considered by us to be generally optimum.
(e) You must monitor VOC concentration in fermenter exhaust at any
point prior to dilution of the exhaust stream.
(f) Each CEMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation
(sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each successive 30-minute
period within each batch monitoring period. Except as specified in
paragraph (g) of this section, you must have a minimum of two cycles of
operation in a 1-hour period to have a valid hour of data.
(g) The CEMS data must be reduced to arithmetic batch averages
computed from two or more data points over each 1-hour period, except
during periods when calibration, quality assurance, or maintenance
activities pursuant to provisions of this part are being performed.
During these periods, a valid hour of data shall consist of at least one
data point representing a 30-minute period.
(h) You must have valid CEMS data from at least 75 percent of the
full hours over the entire batch monitoring period.
(i) For each CEMS, record the results of each inspection,
calibration, and validation check.
(j) You must check the zero (low-level) and high-level calibration
drifts for each CEMS in accordance with the
[[Page 215]]
applicable PS of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B. The zero (low-level) and
high-level calibration drifts shall be adjusted, at a minimum, whenever
the zero (low-level) drift exceeds 2 times the limits of the applicable
PS. The calibration drift checks must be performed at least once daily
except that they may be performed less frequently under the conditions
of paragraphs (j)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) If a 24-hour calibration drift check for your CEMS is performed
immediately prior to, or at the start of, a batch monitoring period of a
duration exceeding 24 hours, you are not required to perform 24-hour-
interval calibration drift checks during that batch monitoring period.
(2) If the 24-hour calibration drift exceeds 2.5 percent of the span
value (or more than 10 percent of the calibration gas value if your CEMS
is a gas chromatograph (GC)) in fewer than 5 percent of the checks over
a 1-month period, and the 24-hour calibration drift never exceeds 7.5
percent of the span value, then the frequency of calibration drift
checks may be reduced to at least weekly (once every 7 days).
(3) If, during two consecutive weekly checks, the weekly calibration
drift exceeds 5 percent of the span value (or more than 20 percent of
the calibration gas value, if your CEMS is a GC), then a frequency of at
least 24-hour interval calibration checks must be resumed until the 24-
hour calibration checks meet the test of paragraph (j)(2) of this
section.
(k) If your CEMS is out of control, you must take corrective action
according to paragraphs (k)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) Your CEMS is out of control if the zero (low-level) or high-
level calibration drift exceeds 2 times the limits of the applicable PS.
(2) When the CEMS is out of control, take the necessary corrective
action and repeat all necessary tests that indicate that the system is
out of control. You must take corrective action and conduct retesting
until the performance requirements are below the applicable limits.
(3) During the batch monitoring periods in which the CEMS is out of
control, recorded data shall not be used in data averages and
calculations, or to meet any data availability requirement established
under this subpart. The beginning of the out-of-control period is the
beginning of the first batch monitoring period that follows the most
recent calibration drift check during which the system was within
allowable performance limits. The end of the out-of-control period is
the end of the last batch monitoring period before you have completed
corrective action and successfully demonstrated that the system is
within the allowable limits. If your successful demonstration that the
system is within the allowable limits occurs during a batch monitoring
period, then the out-of-control period ends at the end of that batch
monitoring period. If the CEMS is out of control for any part of a
particular batch monitoring period, it is out of control for the whole
batch monitoring period.
Sec. 63.2164 If I monitor brew ethanol, what are my monitoring
installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) Each CEMS must be installed, operated, and maintained according
to manufacturer's specifications and in accordance with Sec.
63.6(e)(1).
(b) Each CEMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation
(sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each successive 30-minute
period within each batch monitoring period. Except as specified in
paragraph (c) of this section, you must have a minimum of two cycles of
operation in a 1-hour period to have a valid hour of data.
(c) The CEMS data must be reduced to arithmetic batch averages
computed from two or more data points over each 1-hour period, except
during periods when calibration, quality assurance, or maintenance
activities pursuant to provisions of this part are being performed.
During these periods, a valid hour of data shall consist of at least one
data point representing a 30-minute period.
(d) You must have valid CEMS data from at least 75 percent of the
full hours over the entire batch monitoring period.
[[Page 216]]
(e) Set the CEMS span to correspond to not greater than 5 times the
relevant emission limit, with 1.5 to 2.5 times the relevant emission
limit being the range considered by us to be generally optimum. Use the
brew-to-exhaust correlation equation established under Sec. 63.2161(f)
to determine the span value for your CEMS that corresponds to the
relevant emission limit.
(f) For each CEMS, record the results of each inspection,
calibration, and validation check.
(g) The GC that you use to calibrate your CEMS must meet the
requirements of paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) Calibrate the GC at least daily, by analyzing standard solutions
of ethanol in water (0.05 percent, 0.15 percent, and 0.3 percent).
(2) For use in calibrating the GC, prepare the standard solutions of
ethanol using the procedures listed in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (vi)
of this section.
(i) Starting with 100 percent ethanol, dry the ethanol by adding a
small amount of anhydrous magnesium sulfate (granular) to 15-20
milliliters (ml) of ethanol.
(ii) Place approximately 50 ml of water into a 100-ml volumetric
flask and place the flask on a balance. Tare the balance. Weigh 2.3670
grams of the dry (anhydrous) ethanol into the volumetric flask.
(iii) Add the 100-ml volumetric flask contents to a 1000-ml
volumetric flask. Rinse the 100-ml volumetric flask with water into the
1000-ml flask. Bring the volume to 1000 ml with water.
(iv) Place an aliquot into a sample bottle labeled ``0.3% Ethanol.''
(v) Fill a 50-ml volumetric flask from the contents of the 1000-ml
flask. Add the contents of the 50-ml volumetric flask to a 100-ml
volumetric flask and rinse the 50-ml flask into the 100-ml flask with
water. Bring the volume to 100 ml with water. Place the contents into a
sample bottle labeled ``0.15% Ethanol.''
(vi) With a 10-ml volumetric pipette, add two 10.0-ml volumes of
water to a sample bottle labeled ``0.05% Ethanol.'' With a 10.0-ml
volumetric pipette, pipette 10.0 ml of the 0.15 percent ethanol solution
into the sample bottle labeled ``0.05% Ethanol.''
(3) For use in calibrating the GC, dispense samples of the standard
solutions of ethanol in water in aliquots to appropriately labeled and
dated glass sample bottles fitted with caps having a Teflon [supreg]
seal. Refrigerated samples may be kept unopened for 1 month. Prepare new
calibration standards of ethanol in water at least monthly.
(h) Calibrate the CEMS according to paragraphs (h)(1) through (3) of
this section.
(1) To calibrate the CEMS, inject a brew sample into a calibrated GC
and compare the simultaneous ethanol value given by the CEMS to that
given by the GC. Use either the Porapak [supreg] Q, 80-100 mesh, 6[min]
x \1/8\[min], stainless steel packed column or the DB Wax, 0.53 mm x 30
m capillary column.
(2) If a CEMS ethanol value differs by 20 percent or more from the
corresponding GC ethanol value, determine the brew ethanol values
throughout the rest of the batch monitoring period by injecting brew
samples into the GC not less frequently than every 30 minutes. From the
time at which the difference of 20 percent or more is detected until the
batch monitoring period ends, the GC data will serve as the CEMS data.
(3) Perform a calibration of the CEMS at least four times per batch.

paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Determine the percentage of batches over a 12-month calculation
period that were in compliance with the applicable maximum
concentration. The total number of batches in the calculation period is
the sum of the numbers of batches of each fermentation stage for which
emission limits apply. To calculate the 12-month percentage, do not
include batches in production during periods of malfunction. In counting
the number of batches in the 12-month calculation period, include those
batches for which the batch monitoring period ended on or after 12 a.m.
on the first day of the period and exclude those batches for which the
batch monitoring period did not end on or before 11:59 p.m. on the last
day of the period.
(2) You must determine the 12-month percentage at the end of each
calendar month.
(3) The first 12-month calculation period begins on the compliance
date that is specified for your source in Sec. 63.2133 and ends on the
last day of the month that includes the date 365 days after your
compliance date, unless the compliance date for your source is the first
day of the month, in which case the first 12-month calculation period
ends on the last day of the month that is 11 calendar months after the
compliance date. (For example, if the compliance date for your source is
October 15, 2003, the first 12-month calculation period would begin on
October 15, 2003, and end on October 31, 2004. If the compliance date
for your source is October 1, 2003, the first 12-month calculation
period would begin on October 1, 2003, and end on September 30, 2004.)
(4) The second 12-month calculation period and each subsequent 12-
month calculation period begin on the first day of the month following
the first full month of the previous 12-month averaging period and end
on the last day of the month 11 calendar months later. (For example, if
the compliance date for your source is October 15, 2003, the second
calculation period would begin on December 1, 2003 and end on November
30, 2004.)
(c) You must report each instance (that is, each 12-month
calculation period) in which you did not meet each emission requirement
in Table 4 to this subpart that applies to you. (Failure of a single
batch to meet a concentration
[[Page 218]]
limit does not in and of itself constitute a failure to meet the
emission limitation.) Each instance in which you failed to meet each
applicable emission limitation is reported as part of the requirements
in Sec. 63.2181.

Sec. 63.2192 What definitions apply to this subpart?
Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act, in 40
CFR 63.2, the General Provisions of this part, and in this section as
follows:
Batch means a single fermentation cycle in a single fermentation
vessel (fermenter).
Batch monitoring period means the period that begins at the later of
either the start of aeration or the addition of yeast to the fermenter;
the period ends at the earlier of either the end of aeration or the
point at which the yeast has begun being emptied from the fermenter.
Brew means the mixture of yeast and additives in the fermenter.
Brew ethanol means the ethanol in fermenter liquid.
Brew ethanol monitor means the monitoring system that you use to
measure brew ethanol to demonstrate compliance with this subpart. The
monitoring system includes a resistance element used as an ethanol
sensor, with the measured resistance proportional to the concentration
of ethanol in the brew.
[[Page 221]]
Brew-to-exhaust correlation means the correlation between the
concentration of ethanol in the brew and the concentration of VOC in the
fermenter exhaust. This correlation is specific to each fed-batch
fermentation stage and is established while manufacturing the product
that comprises the largest percentage (by mass) of average annual
production.
Emission limitation means any emission limit or operating limit.
Fed-batch means the yeast is fed carbohydrates and additives during
fermentation in the vessel. In contrast, carbohydrates and additives are
added to ``set-batch'' fermenters only at the start of the batch.
1-hour period means any 60-minute period commencing on the minute at
which the batch monitoring period begins.
Product means the yeast resulting from the final stage in a
production run. Products are distinguished by yeast species, strain, and
variety.
Responsible official means responsible official as defined in 40 CFR
70.2.
Specialty yeast includes but is not limited to yeast produced for
use in wine, champagne, whiskey, and beer.
Within-concentration batch means a batch for which the average VOC
concentration is not higher than the maximum concentration that is
allowed as part of the applicable emission limitation.
Sec. Table 1 to Subpart CCCC of Part 63--Emission Limitations
As stated in Sec. 63.2140, you must comply with the emission
limitations in the following table:

Sec. 63.2230 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national compliance options, operating
requirements, and work practice requirements for hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emitted from plywood and composite wood products (PCWP)
manufacturing facilities. This subpart also establishes requirements to
demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the compliance
options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements.
Sec. 63.2231 Does this subpart apply to me?
This subpart applies to you if you meet the criteria in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this section.
(a) You own or operate a PCWP manufacturing facility. A PCWP
manufacturing facility is a facility that manufactures plywood and/or
composite wood products by bonding wood material (fibers, particles,
strands, veneers, etc.) or agricultural fiber, generally with resin
under heat and pressure, to form a structural panel or engineered wood
product. Plywood and composite wood products manufacturing facilities
also include facilities that manufacture dry veneer and lumber kilns
located at any facility. Plywood and composite wood products include,
but are not limited to, plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented
strandboard, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated
strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried
lumber, and glue-laminated beams.
(b) The PCWP manufacturing facility is located at a major source of
HAP emissions. A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source
or group of stationary sources within a contiguous area and under common
control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate
of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP
at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.

Sec. 63.2232 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source at a PCWP manufacturing facility.
(b) The affected source is the collection of dryers, refiners,
blenders, formers, presses, board coolers, and other process units
associated with the manufacturing of plywood and composite wood
products. The affected source includes, but is not limited to, green end
operations, refining, drying operations (including any combustion unit
exhaust stream routinely used to direct fire process unit(s)), resin
preparation, blending and forming operations, pressing and board cooling
operations, and miscellaneous finishing operations (such as sanding,
sawing, patching, edge sealing, and other finishing operations not
subject to other national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants (NESHAP)). The affected source also includes onsite storage
and preparation of raw materials used in the manufacture of plywood and/
or composite wood products, such as resins; onsite wastewater treatment
operations specifically associated with plywood and composite wood
products manufacturing; and miscellaneous coating operations (Sec.
63.2292). The affected source includes lumber kilns at PCWP
manufacturing facilities and at any other kind of facility.
[[Page 225]]
(c) An affected source is a new affected source if you commenced
construction of the affected source after January 9, 2003, and you meet
the applicability criteria at the time you commenced construction.
(d) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria as
defined in Sec. 63.2.
(e) An affected source is existing if it is not new or
reconstructed.

Compliance Options, Operating Requirements, and Work Practice
Requirements
Sec. 63.2240 What are the compliance options and operating
requirements and how must I meet them?
You must meet the compliance options and operating requirements
described in Tables 1A, 1B, and 2 to this subpart and in paragraph (c)
of this section by using one or more of the compliance options listed in
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section. The process units subject
to the compliance options are listed in Tables 1A and 1B to this subpart
and are defined in Sec. 63.2292. You need only to meet one of the
compliance options outlined in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
section for each process unit. You cannot combine compliance options in
paragraph (a), (b), or (c) for a single process unit. (For example, you
cannot use a production-based compliance option in paragraph (a) for one
vent of a veneer dryer and an add-on control system compliance option in
paragraph (b) for another vent on the same veneer dryer. You must use
either the production-based compliance option or an add-on control
system compliance option for the entire dryer.)
(a) Production-based compliance options. You must meet the
production-based total HAP compliance options in Table 1A to this
subpart and the applicable operating requirements in Table 2 to this
subpart. You may not use an add-on control system or wet control device
to meet the production-based compliance options.
(b) Compliance options for add-on control systems. You must use an
emissions control system and demonstrate that the resulting emissions
meet the compliance options and operating requirements in Tables 1B and
2 to this subpart. If you own or operate a reconstituted wood product
press at a new or existing affected source or a reconstituted wood
product board cooler at a new affected source, and you choose to
[[Page 226]]
comply with one of the concentration-based compliance options for a
control system outlet (presented as option numbers 2, 4, and 6 in Table
1B to this subpart), you must have a capture device that either meets
the definition of wood products enclosure in Sec. 63.2292 or achieves a
capture efficiency of greater than or equal to 95 percent.
(c) Emissions averaging compliance option (for existing sources
only). Using the procedures in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this
section, you must demonstrate that emissions included in the emissions
average meet the compliance options and operating requirements. New
sources may not use emissions averaging to comply with this subpart.
(1) Calculation of required and actual mass removal. Limit emissions
of total HAP, as defined in Sec. 63.2292, to include acetaldehyde,
acrolein, formaldehyde, methanol, phenol, and propionaldehyde from your
affected source to the standard specified by Equations 1, 2, and 3 of
this section.

Where:
RMR = required mass removal of total HAP from all process units
generating debits (i.e., all process units that are subject to
the compliance options in Tables 1A and 1B to this subpart and
that are either uncontrolled or under-controlled), pounds per
semiannual period;
AMR = actual mass removal of total HAP from all process units generating
credits (i.e., all process units that are controlled as part
of the Emissions Averaging Plan including credits from debit-
generating process units that are under-controlled), pounds
per semiannual period;
UCEPi = mass of total HAP from an uncontrolled or under-
controlled process unit (i) that generates debits, pounds per
hour;
OHi = number of hours a process unit (i) is operated during
the semiannual period, hours per 6-month period;
CDi = control system efficiency for the emission point (i)
for total HAP, expressed as a fraction, and not to exceed 90
percent, unitless (Note: To calculate the control system
efficiency of biological treatment units that do not meet the
definition of biofilter in Sec. 63.2292, you must use 40 CFR
part 63, appendix C, Determination of the Fraction Biodegraded
(Fbio) in a Biological Treatment Unit.);
OCEPi = mass of total HAP from a process unit (i) that
generates credits (including credits from debit-generating
process units that are under-controlled), pounds per hour;
0.90 = required control system efficiency of 90 percent multiplied,
unitless.
(2) Requirements for debits and credits. You must calculate debits
and credits as specified in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (vi) of this
section.
(i) You must limit process units in the emissions average to those
process units located at the existing affected source as defined in
Sec. 63.2292.
(ii) You cannot use nonoperating process units to generate emissions
averaging credits. You cannot use process units that are shut down to
generate emissions averaging debits or credits.
(iii) You may not include in your emissions average process units
controlled to comply with a State, Tribal, or Federal rule other than
this subpart.
(iv) You must use actual measurements of total HAP emissions from
process units to calculate your required mass removal (RMR) and actual
mass removal (AMR). The total HAP measurements must be obtained
according to Sec. 63.2262(b) through (d), (g), and (h), using the
methods specified in Table 4 to this subpart.
(v) Your initial demonstration that the credit-generating process
units will be capable of generating enough credits to offset the debits
from the debit-generating process units must be made under
representative operating conditions. After the compliance date, you must
use actual operating data for all debit and credit calculations.
(vi) Do not include emissions from the following time periods in
your emissions averaging calculations:
(A) Emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction
as described in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP).
(B) Emissions during periods of monitoring malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance
[[Page 227]]
or control activities or during periods of control device maintenance
covered in your routine control device maintenance exemption. No credits
may be assigned to credit-generating process units, and maximum debits
must be assigned to debit-generating process units during these periods.
(3) Operating requirements. You must meet the operating requirements
in Table 2 to this subpart for each process unit or control device used
in calculation of emissions averaging credits.
Sec. 63.2241 What are the work practice requirements and how must I
meet them?
(a) You must meet each work practice requirement in Table 3 to this
subpart that applies to you.
(b) As provided in Sec. 63.6(g), we, the EPA, may choose to grant
you permission to use an alternative to the work practice requirements
in this section.
(c) If you have a dry rotary dryer, you may choose to designate your
dry rotary dryer as a green rotary dryer and meet the more stringent
compliance options and operating requirements in Sec. 63.2240 for green
rotary dryers instead of the work practices for dry rotary dryers. If
you have a hardwood veneer dryer or veneer redryer, you may choose to
designate your hardwood veneer dryer or veneer redryer as a softwood
veneer dryer and meet the more stringent compliance options and
operating requirements in Sec. 63.2240 for softwood veneer dryer heated
zones instead of the work practices for hardwood veneer dryers or veneer
redryers.
General Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.2250 What are the general requirements?
(a) You must be in compliance with the compliance options, operating
requirements, and the work practice requirements in this subpart at all
times, except during periods of process unit or control device startup,
shutdown, and malfunction; prior to process unit initial startup; and
during the routine control device maintenance exemption specified in
Sec. 63.2251. The compliance options, operating requirements, and work
practice requirements do not apply during times when the process unit(s)
subject to the compliance options, operating requirements, and work
practice requirements are not operating, or during periods of startup,
shutdown, and malfunction. Startup and shutdown periods must not exceed
the minimum amount of time necessary for these events.
(b) You must always operate and maintain your affected source,
including air pollution control and monitoring equipment, according to
the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i).
(c) You must develop a written SSMP according to the provisions in
Sec. 63.6(e)(3).
(d) Shutoff of direct-fired burners resulting from partial and full
production stoppages of direct-fired softwood veneer dryers or over-
temperature events shall be deemed shutdowns and not malfunctions.
Lighting or re-lighting any one or all gas burners in direct-fired
softwood veneer dryers shall be deemed startups and not malfunctions.

FR 20463, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.2251 What are the requirements for the routine control device
maintenance exemption?
(a) You may request a routine control device maintenance exemption
from the EPA Administrator for routine maintenance events such as
control device bakeouts, washouts, media replacement, and replacement of
corroded parts. Your request must justify the need for the routine
maintenance on the control device and the time required to accomplish
the maintenance activities, describe the maintenance activities and the
frequency of the maintenance activities, explain why the maintenance
cannot be accomplished during process shutdowns, describe how you plan
to make reasonable efforts to minimize emissions during the maintenance,
and provide any other documentation required by the EPA Administrator.
(b) The routine control device maintenance exemption must not exceed
the percentages of process unit operating uptime in paragraphs (b)(1)
and (2) of this section.
(1) If the control device is used to control a green rotary dryer,

dryer, rotary strand dryer, or pressurized refiner, then the routine
control device maintenance exemption must not exceed 3 percent of annual
operating uptime for each process unit controlled.
(2) If the control device is used to control a softwood veneer
dryer, reconstituted wood product press, reconstituted wood product
board cooler, hardboard oven, press predryer, conveyor strand dryer, or
fiberboard mat dryer, then the routine control device maintenance
exemption must not exceed 0.5 percent of annual operating uptime for
each process unit controlled.
(3) If the control device is used to control a combination of
equipment listed in both paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section, such
as a tube dryer and a reconstituted wood product press, then the routine
control device maintenance exemption must not exceed 3 percent of annual
operating uptime for each process unit controlled.
(c) The request for the routine control device maintenance
exemption, if approved by the EPA Administrator, must be IBR in and
attached to the affected source's title V permit.
(d) The compliance options and operating requirements do not apply
during times when control device maintenance covered under your approved
routine control device maintenance exemption is performed. You must
minimize emissions to the greatest extent possible during these routine
control device maintenance periods.
(e) To the extent practical, startup and shutdown of emission
control systems must be scheduled during times when process equipment is
also shut down.
Sec. 63.2252 What are the requirements for process units that have
no control or work practice requirements?
For process units not subject to the compliance options or work
practice requirements specified in Sec. 63.2240 (including, but not
limited to, lumber kilns), you are not required to comply with the
compliance options, work practice requirements, performance testing,
monitoring, SSM plans, and recordkeeping or reporting requirements of
this subpart, or any other requirements in subpart A of this part,
except for the initial notification requirements in Sec. 63.9(b).
[71 FR 8372, Feb. 16, 2006]
Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.2260 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the
compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice
requirements?
(a) To demonstrate initial compliance with the compliance options
and operating requirements, you must conduct performance tests and
establish each site-specific operating requirement in Table 2 to this
subpart according to the requirements in Sec. 63.2262 and Table 4 to
this subpart. Combustion units that accept process exhausts into the
flame zone are exempt from the initial performance testing and operating
requirements for thermal oxidizers.
(b) You must demonstrate initial compliance with each compliance
option, operating requirement, and work practice requirement that
applies to you according to Tables 5 and 6 to this subpart and according
to Sec. Sec. 63.2260 through 63.2269 of this subpart.
(c) You must submit the Notification of Compliance Status containing
the results of the initial compliance demonstration according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.2280(d).
Sec. 63.2261 By what date must I conduct performance tests or other
initial compliance demonstrations?
(a) You must conduct performance tests upon initial startup or no
later than 180 calendar days after the compliance date that is specified
for your source in Sec. 63.2233 and according to Sec. 63.7(a)(2),
whichever is later.
(b) You must conduct initial compliance demonstrations that do not
require performance tests upon initial startup or no later than 30
calendar days after the compliance date that is specified for your
source in Sec. 63.2233, whichever is later.
[[Page 229]]
Sec. 63.2262 How do I conduct performance tests and establish
operating requirements?
(a) You must conduct each performance test according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.7(e)(1), the requirements in paragraphs (b)
through (o) of this section, and according to the methods specified in
Table 4 to this subpart.
(b) Periods when performance tests must be conducted. (1) You must
not conduct performance tests during periods of startup, shutdown, or
malfunction, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1).
(2) You must test under representative operating conditions as
defined in Sec. 63.2292. You must describe representative operating
conditions in your performance test report for the process and control
systems and explain why they are representative.
(c) Number of test runs. 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 except for: testing
of a temporary total enclosure (TTE) conducted using Methods 204A
through 204F of 40 CFR part 51, appendix M, which require three separate
test runs of at least 3 hours each; and testing of an enclosure
conducted using the alternative tracer gas method in appendix A to this
subpart, which requires a minimum of three separate runs of at least 20
minutes each.
(d) Location of sampling sites. (1) Sampling sites must be located
at the inlet (if emission reduction testing or documentation of inlet
methanol or formaldehyde concentration is required) and outlet of the
control device (defined in Sec. 63.2292) and prior to any releases to
the atmosphere. For control sequences with wet control devices (defined
in Sec. 63.2292) followed by control devices (defined in Sec.
63.2292), sampling sites may be located at the inlet and outlet of the
control sequence and prior to any releases to the atmosphere.
(2) Sampling sites for process units meeting compliance options
without a control device must be located prior to any releases to the
atmosphere. Facilities demonstrating compliance with a production-based
compliance option for a process unit equipped with a wet control device
must locate sampling sites prior to the wet control device.
(e) Collection of monitoring data. You must collect operating
parameter monitoring system or continuous emissions monitoring system
(CEMS) data at least every 15 minutes during the entire performance test
and determine the parameter or concentration value for the operating
requirement during the performance test using the methods specified in
paragraphs (k) through (o) of this section.
(f) Collection of production data. To comply with any of the
production-based compliance options, you must measure and record the
process unit throughput during each performance test.
(g) Nondetect data. (1) Except as specified in paragraph (g)(2) of
this section, all nondetect data (Sec. 63.2292) must be treated as one-
half of the method detection limit when determining total HAP,
formaldehyde, methanol, or total hydrocarbon (THC) emission rates.
(2) When showing compliance with the production-based compliance
options in Table 1A to this subpart, you may treat emissions of an
individual HAP as zero if all three of the performance test runs result
in a nondetect measurement, and the method detection limit is less than
or equal to 1 parts per million by volume, dry basis (ppmvd). Otherwise,
nondetect data for individual HAP must be treated as one-half of the
method detection limit.
(h) Calculation of percent reduction across a control system. When
determining the control system efficiency for any control system
included in your emissions averaging plan (not to exceed 90 percent) and
when complying with any of the compliance options based on percent
reduction across a control system in Table 1B to this subpart, as part
of the performance test, you must calculate the percent reduction using
Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR72AD04.003
Where:
PR = percent reduction, percent;
CE = capture efficiency, percent (determined for reconstituted wood
product presses and board coolers as required in Table 4 to
this subpart);
[[Page 230]]
ERin = emission rate of total HAP (calculated as the sum of
the emission rates of acetaldehyde, acrolein, formaldehyde,
methanol, phenol, and propionaldehyde), THC, formaldehyde, or
methanol in the inlet vent stream of the control device,
pounds per hour;
ERout = emission rate of total HAP (calculated as the sum of
the emission rates of acetaldehyde, acrolein, formaldehyde,
methanol, phenol, and propionaldehyde), THC, formaldehyde, or
methanol in the outlet vent stream of the control device,
pounds per hour.
(i) Calculation of mass per unit production. To comply with any of
the production-based compliance options in Table 1A to this subpart, you
must calculate your mass per unit production emissions for each
performance test run using Equation 2 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR72AD04.004
Where:
MP = mass per unit production, pounds per oven dried ton OR pounds per
thousand square feet on a specified thickness basis (see
paragraph (j) of this section if you need to convert from one
thickness basis to another);
ERHAP = emission rate of total HAP (calculated as the sum of
the emission rates of acetaldehyde, acrolein, formaldehyde,
methanol, phenol, and propionaldehyde) in the stack, pounds
per hour;
P = process unit production rate (throughput), oven dried tons per hour
OR thousand square feet per hour on a specified thickness
basis;
CE = capture efficiency, percent (determined for reconstituted wood
product presses and board coolers as required in Table 4 to
this subpart).
(j) Thickness basis conversion. Use Equation 3 of this section to
convert from one thickness basis to another:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR72AD04.005
Where:
MSFA = thousand square feet on an A-inch basis;
MSFB = thousand square feet on a B-inch basis;
A = old thickness you are converting from, inches;
B = new thickness you are converting to, inches.
(k) Establishing thermal oxidizer operating requirements. If you
operate a thermal oxidizer, you must establish your thermal oxidizer
operating parameters according to paragraphs (k)(1) through (3) of this
section.
(1) During the performance test, you must continuously monitor the
firebox temperature during each of the required 1-hour test runs. For
regenerative thermal oxidizers, you may measure the temperature in
multiple locations (e.g., one location per burner) in the combustion
chamber and calculate the average of the temperature measurements prior
to reducing the temperature data to 15-minute averages for purposes of
establishing your minimum firebox temperature. The minimum firebox
temperature must then be established as the average of the three minimum
15-minute firebox temperatures monitored during the three test runs.
Multiple three-run performance tests may be conducted to establish a
range of parameter values under different operating conditions.
(2) You may establish a different minimum firebox temperature for
your thermal oxidizer by submitting the notification specified in Sec.
63.2280(g) and conducting a repeat performance test as specified in
paragraph (k)(1) of this section that demonstrates compliance with the
applicable compliance options of this subpart.
(3) If your thermal oxidizer is a combustion unit that accepts
process exhaust into the flame zone, then you are exempt from the
performance testing and monitoring requirements specified in paragraphs
(k)(1) and (2) of this section. To demonstrate initial compliance, you
must submit documentation with your Notification of Compliance Status
showing that process exhausts controlled by the combustion unit enter
into the flame zone.
(l) Establishing catalytic oxidizer operating requirements. If you
operate a catalytic oxidizer, you must establish your catalytic oxidizer
operating parameters according to paragraphs (l)(1) and (2) of this
section.
(1) During the performance test, you must continuously monitor
during the required 1-hour test runs either the temperature at the inlet
to each catalyst bed or the temperature in the combustion chamber. For
regenerative catalytic oxidizers, you must calculate
[[Page 231]]
the average of the temperature measurements from each catalyst bed inlet
or within the combustion chamber prior to reducing the temperature data
to 15-minute averages for purposes of establishing your minimum
catalytic oxidizer temperature. The minimum catalytic oxidizer
temperature must then be established as the average of the three minimum
15-minute temperatures monitored during the three test runs. Multiple
three-run performance tests may be conducted to establish a range of
parameter values under different operating conditions.
(2) You may establish a different minimum catalytic oxidizer
temperature by submitting the notification specified in Sec. 63.2280(g)
and conducting a repeat performance test as specified in paragraphs
(l)(1) and (2) of this section that demonstrates compliance with the
applicable compliance options of this subpart.
(m) Establishing biofilter operating requirements. If you operate a
biofilter, you must establish your biofilter operating requirements
according to paragraphs (m)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must continuously monitor the
biofilter bed temperature during each of the required 1-hour test runs.
To monitor biofilter bed temperature, you may use multiple thermocouples
in representative locations throughout the biofilter bed and calculate
the average biofilter bed temperature across these thermocouples prior
to reducing the temperature data to 15-minute averages for purposes of
establishing biofilter bed temperature limits. The biofilter bed
temperature range must be established as the minimum and maximum 15-
minute biofilter bed temperatures monitored during the three test runs.
You may base your biofilter bed temperature range on values recorded
during previous performance tests provided that the data used to
establish the temperature ranges have been obtained using the test
methods required in this subpart. If you use data from previous
performance tests, you must certify that the biofilter and associated
process unit(s) have not been modified subsequent to the date of the
performance tests. Replacement of the biofilter media with the same type
of material is not considered a modification of the biofilter for
purposes of this section.
(2) For a new biofilter installation, you will be allowed up to 180
days following the compliance date or 180 days following initial startup
of the biofilter to complete the requirements in paragraph (m)(1) of
this section.
(3) You may expand your biofilter bed temperature operating range by
submitting the notification specified in Sec. 63.2280(g) and conducting
a repeat performance test as specified in paragraph (m)(1) of this
section that demonstrates compliance with the applicable compliance
options of this subpart.
(n) Establishing operating requirements for process units meeting
compliance options without a control device. If you operate a process
unit that meets a compliance option in Table 1A to this subpart, or is a
process unit that generates debits in an emissions average without the
use of a control device, you must establish your process unit operating
parameters according to paragraphs (n)(1) through (2) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must identify and document the
process unit controlling parameter(s) that affect total HAP emissions
during the three-run performance test. The controlling parameters you
identify must coincide with the representative operating conditions you
describe according to Sec. 63.2262(b)(2). For each parameter, you must
specify appropriate monitoring methods, monitoring frequencies, and for
continuously monitored parameters, averaging times not to exceed 24
hours. The operating limit for each controlling parameter must then be
established as the minimum, maximum, range, or average (as appropriate
depending on the parameter) recorded during the performance test.
Multiple three-run performance tests may be conducted to establish a
range of parameter values under different operating conditions.
(2) You may establish different controlling parameter limits for
your process unit by submitting the notification specified in Sec.
63.2280(g) and conducting a repeat performance test as specified in
paragraph (n)(1) of this section that demonstrates compliance with the
compliance options in Table
[[Page 232]]
1A to this subpart or is used to establish emission averaging debits for
an uncontrolled process unit.
(o) Establishing operating requirements using THC CEMS. If you
choose to meet the operating requirements by monitoring THC
concentration instead of monitoring control device or process operating
parameters, you must establish your THC concentration operating
requirement according to paragraphs (o)(1) through (2) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must continuously monitor THC
concentration using your CEMS during each of the required 1-hour test
runs. The maximum THC concentration must then be established as the
average of the three maximum 15-minute THC concentrations monitored
during the three test runs. Multiple three-run performance tests may be
conducted to establish a range of THC concentration values under
different operating conditions.
(2) You may establish a different maximum THC concentration by
submitting the notification specified in Sec. 63.2280(g) and conducting
a repeat performance test as specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this

Sec. 63.2263 Initial compliance demonstration for a dry rotary dryer.
If you operate a dry rotary dryer, you must demonstrate that your
dryer processes furnish with an inlet moisture content of less than or
equal to 30 percent (by weight, dry basis) and operates with a dryer
inlet temperature of less than or equal to 600 [deg]F. You must
designate and clearly identify each dry rotary dryer. You must record
the inlet furnish moisture content (dry basis) and inlet dryer operating
temperature according to Sec. 63.2269(a), (b), and (c) and Sec.
63.2270 for a minimum of 30 calendar days. You must submit the highest
recorded 24-hour average inlet furnish moisture content and the highest
recorded 24-hour average dryer inlet temperature with your Notification
of Compliance Status. In addition, you must submit with the Notification
of Compliance Status a signed statement by a responsible official that
certifies with truth, accuracy, and completeness that the dry rotary
dryer will dry furnish with a maximum inlet moisture content less than
or equal to 30 percent (by weight, dry basis) and will operate with a
maximum inlet temperature of less than or equal to 600 [deg]F in the
future.
Sec. 63.2264 Initial compliance demonstration for a hardwood veneer
dryer.
If you operate a hardwood veneer dryer, you must record the annual
volume percentage of softwood veneer species processed in the dryer as
follows:
(a) Use Equation 1 of this section to calculate the annual volume
percentage of softwood species dried:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR72AD04.006
Where:
SW% = annual volume percent softwood species dried;
SW = softwood veneer dried during the previous 12 months, thousand
square feet (\3/8\-inch basis);
T = total softwood and hardwood veneer dried during the previous 12
months, thousand square feet (\3/8\-inch basis).
(b) You must designate and clearly identify each hardwood veneer
dryer. Submit with the Notification of Compliance Status the annual
volume percentage of softwood species dried in the dryer based on your
dryer production for the 12 months prior to the compliance date
specified for your source in Sec. 63.2233. If you did not dry any
softwood species in the dryer during the 12 months prior to the
compliance date, then you need only to submit a statement indicating
that no softwood species were dried. In addition, submit with the
Notification of Compliance Status a signed statement by a responsible
official that certifies with truth, accuracy, and completeness that the
veneer dryer will be used to process less than 30 volume percent
softwood species in the future.

Sec. 63.2265 Initial compliance demonstration for a softwood veneer
dryer.
If you operate a softwood veneer dryer, you must develop a plan for
review and approval for minimizing fugitive emissions from the veneer
dryer heated zones, and you must submit the plan with your Notification
of Compliance Status.
Sec. 63.2266 Initial compliance demonstration for a veneer redryer.
If you operate a veneer redryer, you must record the inlet moisture
content of the veneer processed in the redryer according to Sec.
63.2269(a) and (c) and Sec. 63.2270 for a minimum of 30 calendar days.
You must designate and clearly identify each veneer redryer. You must
submit the highest recorded 24-hour average inlet veneer moisture
content with your Notification of Compliance Status to show that your
veneer redryer processes veneer with an inlet moisture content of less
than or equal to 25 percent (by weight, dry basis). In addition, submit
with the Notification of Compliance Status a signed statement by a
responsible official that certifies with truth, accuracy, and
completeness that the veneer redryer will dry veneer with a moisture
content less than 25 percent (by weight, dry basis) in the future.
Sec. 63.2267 Initial compliance demonstration for a reconstituted
wood product press or board cooler.
If you operate a reconstituted wood product press at a new or
existing affected source or a reconstituted wood product board cooler at
a new affected source, then you must either use a wood products
enclosure as defined in Sec. 63.2292 or measure the capture efficiency
of the capture device for the press or board cooler using Methods 204
and 204A through 204F of 40 CFR part 51, appendix M (as appropriate), or
using the alternative tracer gas method contained in appendix A to this
subpart. You must submit documentation that the wood products enclosure
meets the press enclosure design criteria in Sec. 63.2292 or the
results of the capture efficiency verification with your Notification of
Compliance Status.
Sec. 63.2268 Initial compliance demonstration for a wet control device.
If you use a wet control device as the sole means of reducing HAP
emissions, you must develop and implement a plan for review and approval
to address how organic HAP captured in the wastewater from the wet
control device is contained or destroyed to minimize re-release to the
atmosphere such that the desired emissions reductions are obtained. You
must submit the plan with your Notification of Compliance Status.
Sec. 63.2269 What are my monitoring installation, operation, and
maintenance requirements?
(a) General continuous parameter monitoring requirements. You must
install, operate, and maintain each continuous parameter monitoring
system (CPMS) according to paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this
section.
(1) The CPMS must be capable of completing a minimum of one cycle of
operation (sampling, analyzing, and recording) for each successive 15-
minute period.
(2) At all times, you must maintain the monitoring equipment
including, but not limited to, maintaining necessary parts for routine
repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(3) Record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check.
(b) Temperature monitoring. For each temperature monitoring device,
you must meet the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b)(1) through (6)
of this section.
(1) Locate the temperature sensor in a position that provides a
representative temperature.
(2) Use a temperature sensor with a minimum accuracy of 4 [deg]F or
0.75 percent of the temperature value, whichever is larger.
(3) If a chart recorder is used, it must have a sensitivity with
minor divisions not more than 20 [deg]F.
(4) Perform an electronic calibration at least semiannually
according to the procedures in the manufacturer's owners manual.
Following the electronic calibration, you must conduct a temperature
sensor validation check in which a second or redundant temperature
sensor placed nearby the process
[[Page 234]]
temperature sensor must yield a reading within 30 [deg]F of the process
temperature sensor's reading.
(5) Conduct calibration and validation checks any time the sensor
exceeds the manufacturer's specified maximum operating temperature range
or install a new temperature sensor.
(6) At least quarterly, inspect all components for integrity and all
electrical connections for continuity, oxidation, and galvanic
corrosion.
(c) Wood moisture monitoring. For each furnish or veneer moisture
meter, you must meet the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3)
and paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) For dry rotary dryers, use a continuous moisture monitor with a
minimum accuracy of 1 percent (dry basis) moisture or better in the 25
to 35 percent (dry basis) moisture content range. For veneer redryers,
use a continuous moisture monitor with a minimum accuracy of 3 percent
(dry basis) moisture or better in the 15 to 25 percent (dry basis)
moisture content range. Alternatively, you may use a continuous moisture
monitor with a minimum accuracy of 5 percent (dry basis) moisture or
better for dry rotary dryers used to dry furnish with less than 25
percent (dry basis) moisture or for veneer redryers used to redry veneer
with less than 20 percent (dry basis) moisture.
(2) Locate the moisture monitor in a position that provides a
representative measure of furnish or veneer moisture.
(3) Calibrate the moisture monitor based on the procedures specified
by the moisture monitor manufacturer at least once per semiannual
compliance period (or more frequently if recommended by the moisture
monitor manufacturer).
(4) At least quarterly, inspect all components of the moisture
monitor for integrity and all electrical connections for continuity.
