Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 215.480 - Applicability of Subpart T
a) The
rules of this Subpart, except for Sections
215.483
through
215.485, apply to all
emission sources of volatile organic material, including but not limited to
reactors, distillation units, dryers, storage tanks for volatile organic
liquids, equipment for the transfer of volatile organic liquids, filters,
crystallizers, washers, laboratory hoods, pharmaceutical coating operations,
mixing operations and centrifuges used in manufacturing, including packaging,
of pharmaceuticals, and emitting more than 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) of volatile
organic material and more than 2268 kg/year (2.5 tons/year) of volatile organic
material. If an emission source emits less than 2,268 kg/year (2.5 tons/year)
of volatile organic material, the requirements of this Subpart, except for
Sections
215.483
through 215.485, still apply to the emission source if volatile organic
material emissions from the emission source exceed 45.4 kg/day (100
lbs/day).
b) Notwithstanding
subsection (a), the air suspension coater/dryer, fluid bed dryers, tunnel
dryers and Accelacotas located in Libertyville Township, Lake County, Illinois
shall be exempt from the rules of this Subpart, except for Sections
215.483
through 215.485, if emissions of volatile organic material not vented to air
pollution control equipment do not exceed the following levels: for the air
suspension coater/dryer: 2268 kg/year (2.5 tons per year); for each fluid bed
dryer: 4535 kg per year (5.0 tons per year); and for each tunnel driver: 6803
kg per year (7.5 tons per year); and for each Accelacota: 6803 kg per year (7.5
tons per year).
c) Sections
215.483
through
215.485 apply to a plant
having one or more emission sources that:
1)
are used to manufacture pharmaceuticals; and
2) emit more than 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) of
volatile organic material and more than 2268 kg/year (2.5 tons/year) of
volatile organic material, or, if less than 2.5 tons/year, these sections still
apply if emissions from one or more emission sources exceed 45.4 kg/day (100
lbs/day).
d) No person
shall violate any condition in a permit when the condition results in exclusion
of an emission source from this Subpart.
e) Emissions subject to this Subpart shall be
controlled at all times, consistent with the requirements set forth in this
Subpart.
f) Control devices
required pursuant to Section
215.483
shall be operated at all times.
g)
If a pharmaceutical manufacturing emission source becomes subject to the
provisions of Section
215.481,
215.482
or
215.486 on
or after the compliance date specified in Section
215.490(a),
the requirements of such section shall continue to apply to the emission source
even if there is a reduction in emissions as to be below the applicability
criteria of this Section.
h)
Determinations of daily and/or annual emissions
1) Determinations of daily and/or annual
emissions for purposes of this Section shall be made using:
(A) data on the hourly emission rate or the
emission per unit of throughput, and
(B) appropriate daily and annual data from
records of emission source operation or material throughput, or material
consumption.
2) In the
absence of representative test data pursuant to Section
215.487 for the hourly
emission rate or emission rate per unit of throughput, such items shall be
determined using engineering calculations, including the methods described in
Appendix B of "Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Manufacture of
Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products", incorporated by reference at Section
215.105.
3) This subsection shall not affect the
Agency's authority to require emissions tests to be performed pursuant to
Section 215.487.
