(AA) of rule
3745-17-01 of the Administrative
Code titled "referenced materials."]
(B) Emissions test methods
and procedures for all new and existing sources.
(1) For the purpose of determining compliance
with paragraph (A)(1) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code, visible particulate emissions shall be determined according to the
following:
(a) Except as provided in paragraph
(B)(1)(b) of this rule, USEPA method 9 or continuous opacity monitoring as
specified in paragraph (C) of this rule shall be employed.
(b) As an alternative to the compliance
procedures specified in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule, coal-fired boilers
with heat input capacities equal to or greater than two hundred fifty million
Btu per hour that are controlled with either baghouses or electrostatic
precipitators may determine compliance with the visible particulate emission
limitations specified in paragraph (A)(1) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code through the use of continuous opacity monitoring data. The continuous
opacity monitoring system shall comply with the requirements specified in
40 CFR
60.13 and
shall be certified in accordance with "USEPA
Performance Specification 1." (The continuous opacity monitoring system
consists of all the equipment used to acquire data and includes the data
recording/processing hardware and software.) During each calendar quarter, the
permittee shall be deemed in compliance with paragraph (A)(1) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code if the following conditions are met:
(i)
The nonexempt opacity values in excess of twenty per cent opacity are less than
1.10 per cent of the six-minute average opacity values. (Exempt opacity values
are defined in paragraphs (A)(1)(b), (A)(2), and (A)(3) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code.)
(ii) None of the nonexempt
six-minute average opacity values exceeds sixty per cent.
(iii) The total amount of time, in hours, of
exempt and nonexempt opacity values greater than twenty per cent and less than
sixty per cent (not including start-up, shutdown, and malfunction exemptions
provided in paragraphs (A)(2) and (A)(3) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code) does not exceed the product of 0.10 times the actual number of hours the
emissions unit was in operation during the calendar quarter.
In the event of a discrepancy between the continuous opacity
monitoring data and any observations performed in accordance with paragraph
(B)(1)(a) of this rule during the same time period, an evaluation may be
performed by the Ohio EPA to assess the accuracy of the continuous opacity
monitoring data (which may include an audit of the continuous opacity
monitoring system performed in accordance with EPA 340/1-86-010 (recommended
quality assurance procedures for opacity continuous emission monitoring
systems) and "Acid Rain Program Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS)
Field Audit Manual" and the validity of the observations performed in
accordance with paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule. The Ohio EPA may accept and
utilize any data or observation it finds credible. The permittee is not
precluded from using any credible evidence in defense of any enforcement action
that may be initiated by the Ohio EPA.
(2) For the purpose of determining compliance
with paragraph (B)(2) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code, pertaining to visible particulate emissions from coke oven batteries:
(a) Charging operations:
(i) The charging period shall begin when the
coal from the charging system starts to enter the oven and
shall end when the last charge port lid is
replaced. Such charging period shall not include the period of time during
which the port lids are reopened in order to sweep spilled coal into the
oven.
(ii) The observer shall stand
on the topside of the coke oven battery such that a good view of all charge
ports of the oven being charged and the charging system is possible. The
observer may change position to obtain a clear view of all oven ports, drop
sleeves, and hoppers. During the charging period, the observer shall watch all
the potential emission sources including the charge ports and the entire
charging system. Upon observing the release of any visible particulate
emission, an accumulative stopwatch shall be started. The watch shall be
stopped when the visible particulate emission stops and
shall be restarted when a visible
particulate emission reappears. The observer shall continue this procedure for
the entire charging period. If visible particulate emissions should occur
simultaneously from several points during a charge, the visible particulate
emissions shall be timed collectively as one continuous visible particulate
emission. Furthermore, visible particulate emissions which may start from one
source immediately after those from another source shall be timed as one
continuous visible particulate emission. The following visible particulate
emissions shall not be timed: steam vapor, visible particulate emissions from
burning coal that is spilled on top of the oven or oven lid during charging,
visible particulate emissions emitted from any equipment other than the
charging system or charging ports, visible particulate emissions from closed
standpipes during charging, visible particulate emissions emitted from coke
oven doors which may rise above the battery and which may be windblown across
its topside, and visible particulate emissions that drift from the top of the
charging system, but have already been timed as a visible particulate emission
from the drop sleeve below the hopper. The time recorded on the stopwatch shall
represent the total time that visible particulate emissions are observed during
a charge. The number of seconds of visible particulate emissions observed for
each charge shall be recorded on a data sheet.
(iii) A minimum of six consecutive charges
shall be observed and the time in seconds of visible particulate emissions
during such charges shall be totalled. If the observations of a set of
consecutive charges is interrupted by an event not in the control of an
observer, then the data for the interrupted charges shall be discarded and
additional charges shall be observed until the total number of consecutive
charges equals at least six. For purposes of this paragraph, charges
immediately preceding and following any interrupted or discarded charges shall
be deemed consecutive.
(b) off take piping and charging hole lids:
(i) The observer shall walk down the length
of the top of the battery and shall
complete the inspection in an expeditious manner consistent with the safety of
the observer. When safety conditions permit, the observer will walk near the
center of the battery, but may deviate from this path to obtain a better view
of any lid or off take piping system. Separate traverses may be performed for
off take piping and charging hole lids. If the battery has two collector mains,
the observer may make two traverses when observing visible particulate
emissions from off take piping. If an observer elects to make two traverses for
a battery which has two collector mains, the observer shall inspect one
collector main during the first traverse and inspect the other collector main
during the second traverse. During each traverse, the observer shall record the
time of the beginning and end of each traverse and the identity of any charging
hole or off take piping system having visible particulate emissions.
(ii) Visible particulate emissions from off
take piping shall include emissions from cracks or defects in the piping,
emissions from the jointure of the battery to the standpipe, emissions from the
standpipe to the gooseneck and gooseneck to the collector main, emissions from
the seal between the gooseneck and gooseneck lid, and emissions from opened off
take lids. Visible particulate emissions from charging holes shall include
emissions from the seal between the charging hole or stationary jumper pipe lid
and its casting, emissions from the charging hole or stationary jumper pipe
casting/battery interface, and emissions from opened charging holes or
stationary jumper pipe lids. Visible particulate emissions which shall not be
included are emissions caused by maintenance work in progress at an oven,
emissions caused by the vaporization of wet luting materials, emissions caused
by burning or smoldering excess topside coal, and emissions from charging ports
and off take piping during the charging operation. Visible particulate
emissions from open off take piping and charging holes, from a maximum of three
ovens, shall be exempt. Regardless of the number of points from which visible
particulate emissions are observed from any one off take piping system, the
maximum entry for any oven with a single off take system shall be one and the
maximum entry for any oven with two off take piping systems shall be two. The
maximum number of charging hole leaks recorded for any oven shall not exceed
the number of charging holes on that oven.
(iii) The percentage of charging holes and
off take piping with visible particulate emissions shall be determined by
totalling the number of charging holes or off take piping with visible
particulate emissions, including that number of opened charging holes and off
take piping with visible particulate emissions which exceeds the amount which
is allowed for three ovens, dividing that number by the total number of
observed charging holes or off take piping on operating ovens, and multiplying
the result by one hundred per cent. For purposes of this paragraph, any oven
which is not out of service for rebuild or maintenance work that is extensive
enough to require the oven to be skipped in the charging sequence shall
constitute an operating oven. Further, any opened charging hole or off take
piping lids on operating ovens shall be included as observed charging holes and
off take piping.
(c)
Oven doors:
(i) The observer shall observe
visible particulate emissions by completely walking around the coke oven
battery at a steady distance from a position just outside the pusher machine
and quencher car tracks as close to the battery as safety and visibility
conditions permit. The observer shall traverse each side of a battery
expeditiously, recording the time of the beginning and end of each side
traverse, the identity of each door having visible particulate emissions, and
the identity of any door not observable during the traverse. A visible
particulate emission from an individual door shall be noted on an inspection
sheet when an observer determines any visible particulate emissions are
occurring from any location on the perimeter of a coke oven door or chuck door.
Visible particulate emissions observed at the top of the battery above a
specific oven door but not clearly attributable to such door shall not be
counted in this procedure. An observer shall observe each oven door only once
while scanning the perimeter for any visible particulate emissions. After a
brief scan of an oven door, the observer shall move along
his/her
the
observer's traverse, checking subsequent doors on the battery in a like
manner. If a temporary machine obstruction occurs which blocks the view of a
series of ovens, the ovens shall be bypassed and the remaining oven doors on
that side of the battery shall be observed. After the traverse of such side of
the battery, the bypassed oven doors and only those oven doors, may be
reobserved. After completing one side, the observer shall proceed directly to
the opposite side of the battery and proceed to perform a like traverse while
repeating the above procedures. A row of two or more continuous batteries may
be inspected by observing all of the pusher side doors and then all of the coke
side doors.
(ii) The percentage of
oven doors with visible particulate emissions shall be determined by totalling
the number of doors with visible particulate emissions, dividing that sum by
the total number of observed doors on operating ovens, and multiplying the
result by one hundred per cent. For purposes of this paragraph, any oven which
is not out of service for a rebuild or maintenance work that is extensive
enough to require that oven to be skipped in the charging sequence shall
constitute an operating oven. Further, any doors that are removed from
operating ovens shall constitute unobserved doors.
(d) For any pushing operations, visible
particulate emissions shall be determined according to USEPA method 9 with the
following modifications:
(i) Paragraph 2.5
("Data Reduction") of USEPA method 9 shall not be used; and
(ii) Visible particulate emission readings
shall be recorded at fifteen-second intervals during each pushing operation
observed and the average reading during each such operation shall be determined
by summing the opacity readings and dividing this sum by the number of
observations during that pushing operation.
(3) For the purpose of determining compliance
with paragraphs (B)(1), (B)(3), (B)(7)(a)(i), (B)(7)(b), (B)(7)(c), and
(B)(8)(a) to (B)(8)(d) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code,
or with paragraphs (C)(3)(c), (D)(3),
(F)(4)(c),
(I)(1), (L)(3), (O)(1), (P)(2),
(V)(4)(c), (W)(2), (X)(2), and (X)(3) of rule
3745-17-12 of the Administrative
Code,
or with paragraph (D)(4)(a) of rule
3745-17-13 of the Administrative
Code, visible emissions of fugitive dust shall be determined according
to USEPA method 9 with the following modifications:
(a) For paragraphs (B)(1), (B)(7)(b),
(B)(7)(c), (B)(8)(b),
and (B)(8)(d)
, and (B)(9) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code, the data reduction and average opacity calculation shall be based upon
sets of twelve consecutive visible emission observations recorded at
fifteen-second intervals.
(b)
Opacity observations shall be made from a position that provides the observer a
clear view of the source and the fugitive dust with the sun behind the
observer. A position at least fifteen feet from the source is recommended. To
the extent possible, the line of sight should be approximately perpendicular to
the flow of fugitive dust and to the longer axis of the emissions. Except as
provided in paragraphs (B)(3)(d) and (B)(3)(e) of this rule, opacity
observations shall be made for the point of highest opacity within the fugitive
dust. Since the highest opacity usually occurs immediately above or downwind of
the source, the observer should normally concentrate on the area of the plume
close to the source. For purposes of paragraphs (B)(7)(b) and (B)(8)(b) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code, observations shall be made where the fugitive dust plume is distinctly
separate from the falling material and from the surface of the pile.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) For paragraphs (B)(7)(a)(i), (B)(8)(a),
and (B)(8)(c) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code and
paragraphs (I)(1), (O)(1), and
paragraph (P)(2) of rule
3745-17-12 of the Administrative
Code:
(i) A data set shall consist of twelve
observations based on four uninterrupted vehicle passes, three observations per
vehicle pass, using USEPA method 9. The initial observation shall be taken
immediately after passage of the first vehicle, at the point of highest opacity
within the fugitive dust, and at four feet above the surface of the roadway or
parking area. Two additional observations shall be taken at the same point as
the initial observation and at five seconds and ten seconds after the initial
reading. The same procedure shall be conducted for the next three vehicle
passes. If any interruption in observations during any vehicle pass occurs, the
observations taken during that vehicle pass shall be discarded and the next
vehicle pass shall be observed. For vehicle traffic on top of any material
storage pile, the observer may observe passes of the same vehicle or vehicles,
at identical of different points atop the pile, in order to obtain readings for
four vehicle passes.
(ii) The data
reduction and average opacity calculation shall be based upon the average of
twelve observations in each data set.
(e) For paragraph (B)(7)(c) of rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative
Code, observations of fugitive dust resulting from a vehicle's movement upon a
coal storage pile shall be made at a point no less than one vehicle length from
the rear of the vehicle and at an elevation no lower than the maximum height of
the vehicle. For purposes of this rule, vehicle length and height shall be
based upon the length and height of the vehicle being observed.
(4) For the purpose of determining
compliance with paragraphs (B)(4) to (B)(6), (B)(7)(a)(ii), and (B)(7)(d) of
rule
3745-17-07 of the Administrative

3745-17-12 of the Administrative
Code, or with paragraph (B) of rule
3745-17-13 of the Administrative
Code, visible emissions of fugitive dust shall be determined according to USEPA
method 22 with the following modifications:
(a) If the observer's view is obscured and
observations shall be terminated prior to completing the necessary or desired
observation period, the observer shall clearly note this fact on the
observation form. When the observer's view of the source is no longer obscured,
the observations shall recommence to complete the observation period.
(b) The observer shall identify on the
observation form all interruptions due to rest breaks.
(c) For the purpose of determining compliance
with the applicable visible emission limitation, the observations, excluding
break periods and periods of obscured vision, shall be considered
continuous.
(d) For any roadway or
parking area, the observer shall determine the presence and duration of visible
particulate matter at the same point of the potential emissions and at a height
approximately four feet above the surface of the roadway or parking
area.
(5) Visible
particulate emission readings other than those referenced in paragraph (B)(4)
of this rule shall be determined by observers qualified according to tests and
procedures set forth in USEPA method 9.
(6) The director may refuse to accept the
results of emission tests conducted pursuant to paragraphs (B)(7) to (B)(10) of
this rule which are not conducted with prior review and approval of the test
specifications by the director. Test specifications shall be submitted for this
purpose at least thirty days before the proposed test date. The director will
advise an entity of any deficiencies in the proposed test specifications as
expeditiously as practicable so as to minimize any disruption of the proposed
testing schedule.

Code. Emission tests shall be conducted at maximum burning capacity of the
incinerator.
(b) The maximum
burning capacity of an incinerator shall be the manufacturer's or designer's
guaranteed maximum rate or such other rate as may be determined by the director
in accordance with good engineering practices. In case of conflict, the
determination made by the director shall govern.
(9) For the purpose of determining compliance
with rule
3745-17-10 of the Administrative
Code and
paragraphs (N)(1), (N)(2), (O)(7),
(O)(8)(a),
paragraph (P)(1)
, (P)(7), and (P)(8) of rule

control equipment, shall be determined by sampling and other measurements made
at the air contaminant source or sources prior to the point at which air
contaminants are emitted to the ambient air. For sources equipped with control
equipment, the uncontrolled mass rate of emission may be determined by either
sampling in the stack upstream from the inlet of the control equipment or by
the use of other techniques accepted by the director.
(c) For coke quench towers, the concentration
of total dissolved solids in the quench water shall be determined according to
Section 209(C), "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater,"
using a drying temperature between one hundred three and one hundred five
degrees Celsius. Analyses shall be performed on grab samples of the quench
water as applied to the coke. Samples shall be collected at a minimum of five
days per week per quench tower and analyzed to report a weekly average
concentration for each quench tower. Samples for each week shall be analyzed
either:
(i) Separately, with daily
concentrations determined and averaged as a weekly average, or
(ii) As one composite sample, with equal
volumes of each day's sample combined to form the composite sample.
(C)
Continuous emission monitoring requirements for measuring opacity for "Appendix
P" facilities.
(1) Except as provided in
paragraphs (D) and (E) of this rule, for any air contaminant source subject to
40 CFR part
51, appendix P, "Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirements," shall
operate and maintain a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) for
measuring opacity. The COMS shall comply with all specifications outlined in 40
CFR part
60, appendix B, "Performance Specification 1." The COMS shall be
capable of providing external calibration filter access in accordance with
Section 5.1.9 of "USEPA Performance Specification 1."
(2) Any owner or operator of a facility that
meets the applicability requirements specified in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule
shall submit reports to the director of excess emissions for each calendar
quarter within thirty days following the end of each calendar quarter. The
reports shall include, but not be limited to, the times and values of all
six-minute average readings of opacity above the applicable standard, along
with the dates, magnitudes (per cent opacity), reasons (if known), and
corrective actions taken (if any). In addition, the reports shall include the
dates and times of each period during which the continuous emission monitoring
system was inoperative, except for zero and span checks, and the nature of
system repairs or adjustments.
(D) For any air contaminant source subject to
40 CFR part
51, appendix P, "Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirement" where the
use of a COMS would not provide accurate determinations of opacity as described
in Section
6.1 of 40 CFR part
51, appendix
P, the owner or operator may elect to request, in writing, permission from the
director and the administrator to install, calibrate, certify, maintain and
operate a CEMS for measuring particulate emissions in lieu of complying with
paragraph (C)(1) of this rule. Upon approval of the use of the CEMS by the
director and the administrator, the air contaminant source shall comply with
the following:
(1) The owner or operator shall
install, operate and maintain a CEMS for particulate emissions that meets 40
CFR part
60, appendix B, performance specification 11 and the following:
(a) The owner or operator shall conduct a
performance evaluation of the CEMS according to
40 CFR
60.13, performance specification 11, and
appendix F, procedure 2.
(b) During
each particulate emissions correlation testing run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11, particulate emissions and oxygen or carbon
dioxide data shall be collected concurrently by both the CEMS and the
performance tests conducted using the following:
(i) For particulate emissions, USEPA method 5
or 5B of 40 CFR part
60, appendix A shall be used.
(ii) For oxygen or carbon dioxide, USEPA
method 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part
60, appendix A, shall be used.
(c) Quarterly accuracy
determinations and the daily calibration drift tests shall be performed in
accordance with 40 CFR part
60, appendix F, procedure 2. Relative response
audits shall be performed annually and response correlation audits using
one-hour test runs shall be performed every three years.
(2) Each air contaminant source that is
equipped with a CEMS for particulate emissions in lieu of using COMS shall
comply with a particulate emissions limit of 0.030 pounds of particulate
emissions per million British thermal units of heat input, based upon a daily
average, and any other mass emission limit that applies.
(3) Compliance with the daily average
particulate emission limitation shall be determined by calculating the
arithmetic average of all valid CEMS hourly emission rates for particulate
emissions for each air contaminant source operating day.
(E) For any air contaminant source subject to
40 CFR part
51, appendix P, "Minimum Emission Monitoring Requirement" where the
use of a COMS would not provide accurate determinations of opacity as described
in 40 CFR part
51, appendix P, section
6.1, the owner of operator may
elect to request, in writing, approval from the director and the administrator
of an alternative monitoring plan for determining compliance with particulate
emissions, in lieu of complying with paragraph (C)(1) of this rule. Upon
approval of the use of the alternative monitoring plan by the director and the
administrator, the air contaminant source shall comply with the following:
(1) The monitoring requirements and ranges of
the parameters to be monitored shall be incorporated into the underlying
federally enforceable permit-to-install and Title V permit as federally
enforceable limits.
(2) The
federally enforceable ranges of the parameters to be monitored shall be
established such that, during the initial performance testing required under
40 CFR
60.8, performance testing required by permit,
or other performance testing as required by law, USEPA method 5B testing shows
the air contaminant source is complying with any particulate matter mass limit
applicable to the air contaminant source while operating within those
ranges.
(3) Each instance where any
parameter required to be monitored under the alternative monitoring plan falls
outside the federally enforceable ranges is considered a violation of the
applicable particulate emissions limit, and shall be reported in quarterly
excess emission reports required by the permit. The quarterly excess emission
reports shall satisfy 40 CFR
60.7 and the permits and shall include, at a
minimum, the following:
(a) The date the
parameter was outside of the range.
(b) The time the parameter was outside of the
range.
(c) The value of the
parameter during the period it was outside of the range.
(d) The cause of the parameter to be outside
of the range.
(e) The corrective
action taken to bring the parameter back into the federally enforceable
range.
