PROPOSED RULE.

SECOND NOTICE.

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.D.

Durnelle):

On May 11, 1989

the Board, on its own motion,

proposed the

above—captioned rulemaking for First Notice.

The Board held two

hearings

in this matter,

one

in Chicago on August

16,

1989 and

the other

in Urbana on August

23,

1989.

As the result

of

comments

at hearing

by the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (“Agency”)

and the Illinois Manufacturers Association

(“IMA”),

the Board split

this proceeding into two dockets on

September

13,

1989.

Doc~ketA has since been adopted as a final

rule.

Today

the Board

is proposing Docket

B,

the repeal of

35 111.

Adm. Code Parts

230 and 231

in their entirety,

for Second

Notice.

This docket was adopted by the Board

for First Notice on

December

20,

1990 and published

in the Illinois Register on

January 25, 1991

at

0780.

Part

230 constitutes the Board’s New

Source Performance Standards

(NSPS) adopted by peremptory

rulemakings between

1979 and 1987.

Part 231 constitutes the

National Emission Standards

for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAPS)

also adopted by peremptory rulemaking between 1980 and

1987.

Prior

to

1987,

the Board was required to adopt the NSPS

and NESHAPS provisions

in order

for them to be enforceable in

Illinois.

However,

in

1987,

Section 9.1 of the Environmental

Protection Act

(Act)

was amended to cause the automatic

enforceability

of the NSPS and NESHAPS provisions

in Illinois.

As

a result,

the Board

is

no

longer required to formally adopt

NSPS and NESHAPS provisions

to make them effective;

the NSPS and

NESHAPS become effective immediately upon their adoption by the

United State Environmenta

Protection P~qency (“USEPA”).

As new NSPS and NESHAPS are promulgated by USEPA and become

enforceable

in Illinois pursuant

to Section 9.1 of the Act,

the

existing regulations may become outdated or even inconsistent

with the updated standards,

causing possible confusion

to the

regulated community.

1n repealing these parts,

the Board

stresses that this action

is not intended to and does

not cause

any substantive amendment

to the existing NSPS and NESHAPS

provisions enforceable under Section 9.1 of the Act.

121—731

---

As the Agency stated

in its comments made

at hearing,

a

problem arises due to the fact that other sections of the Board’s

air regulations reference the NSPS and NESHAPS provisions

proposed for repeal.

Consequently, these sections, which are

found within

35 Iii. Adm. Code Parts 201,

212 and 215, must be

amended to replace reference to Parts

230 and 231 with language

indicating the automatic enforceability

of

tJSEPA NSPS and NESHAPS

regulations through Section 9.1 of the Act.

Specifically, the

sections of

the Boards regulations which contain cross—references

to NSPS or NESHAPS regulations

in Parts

230 and 231 are as

follows:

201.102

201.401(a) (1) (B) (iii)

201. 401(a)

(

1) (D)

201. 401(b)

212.205

212.443(b) (2) (A)

212.443(b) (2) (B)

212.443(b) (3)

212.443(c) (1) (B)

212.443(c) (2) (A)

2l2.443(c)(2) (B)

215. 123 (a)

(

5)

Three other Sections

also containing references

to Parts

230

and 231 were not included at Second Notice and cannot •be included

here.

Those sections will be corrected

in a separate docket.

This will

in no

way change the affected sections or the existing

NSPS and NESHAPS Provisions enforceable under Section 9.1

of the

Act.

So as

to

avoid confusion

in the repealing of Parts 230 and

231 the following language will be added.

PART 230:

from the introduction of

coal into the first charge port,

as

indicated

by the first mechanical movement of

the coal

charge out of any

20 consecutive charges may

of the operator.

B)

Compliance with the limitation set forth

in

subsection

(A)

shall be determined

in the

following manner:

i)

Observation of charging emissions shall

be made from any point

or points on the

topside of a coke oven battery from which

a qualified observer can obtain an

unobstructed view of the charging

operation.

ii)

The qualified observer shall

time the

visible emissions with

a stopwatch while

observing

the charging operation.

Only

emissions from the charge port and any

part

of the larry car

shall be timed.

The observation shall commence as soon as

coal

is introduced into the first charge

port

as

indicated by the first mechanical

movement

of the coal feeding mechanism on

the larry car and shall

terminate when the last charge port

lid

has been replaced.

Simultaneous

emissions

from more than one emission

point shall

be timed and recorded as one

emission and shall

not be added

individually

to the total

time.

iii)

The qualified observer shall determine

and record the total number of seconds

that charging emissions are visible

during the charging of coal to the coke

oven.

iv)

For each charge observed,

the qualified

observer shall record the total number

of

seconds

of visible emissions,

the clock

time for the initiation and completion

of

the charging operation and the battery

identification and oven number.

v)

The qualified observer shall no~ record

any emissions observed after all charging

port

lids have been firmly seated

following removal

of the larry car,

such

as emissions occurring when a lid has

been temporarily removed

to permit

spilled coal

to be swept into the oven.

12 1—739

---

vi)

In the event

that observations from

a

charge are interrupted

the data from the

charge shall be invalidated and the

qualified observer shall note on his

observation sheet the reason for

invalidating the data.

The qualified

observer shall

then resume observation of

the next consecutive charge or charges

and continue until

a

set

of five charges

has been

recorded.

Charges immediately

preceding and following interrupted

observations shall be considered

consecutive.

2)

Emissions from Control Equipment

A)

Emissions of particulate matter from control

equipment used to capture emissions during

charging shall

not exceed 0.046 gm/dscm (0.020

Uncaptured Emissions

A)

Emissions of fugitive particulate matter from

pushing operations shall

not exceed an average

of 20

opacity

for

4 consecutive pushes

considering the highest average of six

consecutive readings in each push.

Opacity

readings shall be taken at

15—second

intervals, beginning from the time the coke

falls into the receiving car or

is first

visible as

it emerges

from the coke guide

whichever occurs earlier, until the receiving

car enters the quench tower or quenching

device.

For a push of less than 90 seconds

duration,

the actual number of

15—second

readings shall be averaged.

B)

Opacity readings shall be taken by a qualified

observer located

in a position where the oven

being pushed, the coke receiving car and the

path to the quench tower are visible.

The

opacity shall be read as the emissions rise

and clear

the top of

the coke battery gas

mains.

The qualified observer shall record

opacity readings of emissions originating at

the receiving car and associated equipment and

the coke oven,

including the standpipe on the

coke side of the oven being pushed.

Opacity

readings shall be

taken in accordance with the
