ILCS 5/28.1], and in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106, Subpart E,
provisions for adjusted standards for visible emissions for emission units
subject to Sections 212.201, 212.202, 212.203, or 212.204 of this Part
shall be granted by the Board to the extent consistent with federal law
based upon a demonstration by such owner or operator that the results of a
performance test conducted pursuant to this Section, Section 212.110 of
this Part, and Methods 5 and 9 of 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, show that the
emission unit meets the applicable particulate emission limitations at the
same time that the visible emissions exceed the otherwise applicable
standards of Sections 212.121 through 212.125 of this Subpart. Such
adjusted opacity limitations:
1) Shall be specified as a condition in operating permits issued
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201 and Section 39.5 of the Act;
2) Shall substitute for that limitation otherwise applicable;
3) Shall not allow an opacity greater than 60 percent at any time; and
4) Shall allow opacity for one six-minute averaging period in any 60
minute period to exceed the adjusted opacity standard.
b) For the purpose of establishing an adjusted opacity standard, any owner or
operator of an emission unit which meets the requirements of subsection
(a) of this Section, may request the Agency to determine the average
opacity of the emissions from the emission unit during any performance
tests conducted pursuant to Section 212.110 of this Part and Methods 5
and 9 of 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in
Section 212.113 of this Part. The Agency shall refuse to accept the results
of emissions tests if not conducted pursuant to this Section.
c) Any request for the determination of the average opacity of emissions
shall be made in writing, shall include the time and place of the
performance test and test specifications and procedures, and shall be
submitted to the Agency at least thirty (30) days before the proposed test
date.
d) The Agency will advise the owner or operator of an emission unit which
has requested an opacity determination of any deficiencies in the proposed
test specifications and procedures as expeditiously as practicable but no
later than ten (10) days prior to the proposed test date so as to minimize
any disruption of the proposed testing schedule.
e) The owner or operator shall allow Agency personnel to be present during
the performance test.
f) The method for determining an adjusted opacity standard is as follows:
1) A minimum of 60 consecutive minutes of opacity readings
obtained in accordance with Test Method 9, 40 CFR part 60,
Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this
Part, shall be taken during each sampling run. Therefore, for each
performance test (which normally consists of three sampling runs),
a total of three sets of opacity readings totaling three hours or more
shall be obtained. Concurrently, the particulate emissions data
from three sampling runs obtained in accordance with Test Method
5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in
Section 212.113 of this Part, shall also be obtained.
2) After the results of the performance tests are received from the
emission unit, the status of compliance with the applicable
particulate emissions limitation shall be determined by the Agency.
In accordance with Test Method 5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, the
average of the results of the three sampling runs must be less than
the allowable particulate emission rate in order for the emission
unit to be considered in compliance. If compliance is
demonstrated, then only those test runs with results which are less
than the allowable particulate emission rate shall be considered as
acceptable test runs for the purpose of establishing an adjusted
opacity standard.
3) The opacity readings for each acceptable sampling run shall be
divided into sets of 24 consecutive readings. The six (6) minute
average opacity for each set shall be determined by dividing the
sum of the 24 readings within each set by 24.
4) The second highest six (6) minute average opacity obtained in
subsection (f)(3) of this Section shall be selected as the adjusted
opacity standard.
g) The owner or operator shall submit a written report of the results of the
performance test to the Agency at least thirty (30) days prior to filing a
petition for an adjusted standard with the Board.
h) If, upon review of such owner's or operator's written report of the results
of the performance tests, the Agency determines that the emission unit is
in compliance with all applicable emission limitations for which the
performance tests were conducted, but fails to comply with the
requirements of Section 212.122 or 212.123 of this Subpart, the Agency
shall notify the owner or operator as expeditiously as practicable, but no
later than twenty (20) days after receiving the written report of any
deficiencies in the results of the performance tests.
i) The owner or operator may petition the Board for an adjusted visible
emission standard pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E. In
addition to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E, the
petition shall include the following information:
1) A description of the business or activity of the petitioner, including
its location and relevant pollution control equipment;
2) The quantity and type of materials discharged from the emission
unit or control equipment for which the adjusted standard is
requested;
3) A copy of any correspondence between the petitioner and the
Agency regarding the performance tests which form the basis of
the adjusted standard request;
4) A copy of the written report submitted to the Agency pursuant to
subsection (g) of this Section;
5) A statement that the performance tests were conducted in
accordance with this Section and the conditions and procedures
accepted by the Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of this Part;
6) A statement regarding the specific limitation requested; and
7) A statement as to whether the Agency has sent notice of
deficiencies in the results of the performance test pursuant to
subsection (h) of this Section and a copy of said notice.
j) In order to qualify for an adjusted standard the owner or operator must
justify as follows:
1) That the performance tests were conducted in accordance with Test
Methods 5 and 9, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by
reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, and the conditions and
procedures accepted by the Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of
this Part;
2) That the emission unit and associated air pollution control
equipment were operated and maintained in a manner so as to
minimize the opacity of the emissions during the performance
tests; and
3) That the proposed adjusted opacity standard was determined in
accordance with subsection (f) of this Section.
k) Nothing in this Section shall prevent any person from initiating or
participating in a rulemaking, variance, or permit appeal proceeding
before the Board.

introduced into the first charge port as indicated by
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 not record any
emissions observed after all charging port lids have

be determined by using the equation:
V = Q/A
where:
V = face velocity; and
Q = induced draft volume in scfm; and
A = effective grate area in ft
2
; and
B) The induced draft air stream for grain-handling sources
having a grain through-put of not more than 2 million
bushels per year or located outside a major population area
shall be confined and conveyed through air pollution
control equipment which has an overall rated and actual
particulate collection efficiency of not less than 90 percent

D) Means or devices (including, but not limited to, quick-
closing doors, air curtains or wind deflectors) shall be
employed to prevent a wind velocity in excess of 50
percent of the induced draft face velocity at the pit;
provided, however, that such means or devices do not have
to achieve the same degree of prevention when the ambient
air wind exceeds 25 mph. The wind velocity shall be
measured, with the induced draft system not operating, at a
point midway between the dump-pit area walls at the point
where the wind exits the dump-pit area, and at a height
above the dump-pit area floor of approximately 2 ft; or
2) Any equivalent method, technique, system or combination thereof
adequate to achieve, at a minimum, a particulate matter emission
reduction equal to the reduction which could be achieved by
compliance with subsection (b)(1) of this Section.
(Board Note: Pursuant to Section 9 of the Act, certain country
grain elevators are exempt from subsection (b) of this Section.)
c) Internal Transferring Area.
1) Internal transferring area shall be enclosed to the extent necessary
to prohibit visible particulate matter emissions directly into the
atmosphere.
2) Air contaminants collected from internal transfer operations for
grain-handling sources having a grain through-put of not more than
2 million bushels per year or located outside a major population
area shall be conveyed through air pollution control equipment
which has a rated and actual particulate removal efficiency of not
less than 90 percent by weight prior to release into the atmosphere.

equivalent devices which extend 6 inches below the sides of the
receiving vehicle, except for topping off. Choke loading shall be
considered an equivalent method as long as the discharge is no
more than 12 inches above the sides of the receiving vehicle.
2) Box car loading shall employ means or devices to prevent the
emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere to the fullest
extent which is technologically and economically feasible.
3) Watercraft Loading.
A) Particulate matter emissions generated during loading for
grain-handling sources having a grain through-put of not
more than 2 million bushels per year or located outside a
major population area shall be captured in an induced draft
air stream, which shall be ducted through air pollution
control equipment that has a rated and actual particulate
matter removal efficiency of not less than 90 percent by
weight prior to release into the atmosphere.
B) Particulate matter emissions generated during loading for
grain-handling sources having a grain through-put
exceeding 2 million bushels per year and located in a major
population area shall be captured in an induced draft air
stream, which shall be ducted through air pollution control
equipment that has a rated and actual particulate removal
efficiency of not less than 98 percent by weight prior to
release into the atmosphere; except for the portion of grain
loaded by trimming machines for which particulate matter
emission reductions, at a minimum, shall equal the
reduction achieved by compliance with subsection
(d)(3)(A) of this Section.
e) New and Modified Grain-Handling Operations. Grain-handling
operations for which construction or modification commenced on or after
June 30, 1975, shall file applications for construction and operating
permits pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201, and shall comply with the
control equipment requirements of this Section, except for grain-handling
operations for which construction or modification commenced on or after

300,000 bushels; provided, however, that for the purpose of this Subpart,
an increase in the annual grain through-put, without physical alterations or
additions to the grain-handling operation, shall not be considered a
modification unless such increase exceeds 30 percent of the annual grain
through-put on which the operation's original construction and/or
operating permit was granted. If the grain-handling operation has been
operating lawfully without a permit, its annual grain through-put shall be
determined as set forth in the definition of the term "annual grain through-
put."

through-put exceeding 2 million bushels per year and located in a
major population area shall be ducted through air pollution control
equipment which has a rated and actual particulate removal
efficiency of 98 percent by weight prior to release into the
atmosphere.
c) Other Types of Dryers. All other types of dryers shall be controlled in a
manner which shall result in the same degree of control required for rack
dryers pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.
d) New and Modified Grain-Drying Operations. Grain-drying operations
constructed or modified on or after June 30, 1975, shall file applications
for construction and operating permits pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code

Section 212.701 Contingency Measure Plans, Submittal and Compliance Date
a) Those sources subject to this Subpart shall prepare contingency measure
plans reflecting the PM-10 emission reductions set forth in Section
212.703 of this Subpart. These plans shall become federally enforceable
permit conditions. Such plans shall be submitted to the Agency by
November 15, 1994. Notwithstanding the foregoing, sources that become
subject to the provisions of this Subpart after July 1, 1994, shall submit a
contingency measure plan to the Agency for review and approval within
ninety (90) days after the date such source or sources became subject to
the provisions of this Subpart or by November 15, 1994, whichever is
later. The Agency shall notify those sources requiring contingency
measure plans, based on the Agency's current information; however, the
Agency's failure to notify any source of its requirement to submit
contingency measure plans shall not be a defense to a violation of this
Subpart and shall not relieve the source of its obligation to timely submit a
contingency measure plan.
b) If the Agency disapproves the initial submittal of a contingency measure
plan or a source fails to revise a plan so that it is approvable, the Agency
shall so notify the source in writing and the source may treat such notice
as a permit denial.
c) Sources having operational changes subject to Sections 212.304, 212.305,
212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or 212.464 which

Section 212.702 Determination of Contributing Sources
a) If the review of monitoring data reveals an exceedence of the 24-hour
ambient air quality standard for PM-10 found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
243.120, the Agency shall attempt to determine the source or sources
causing or contributing to the exceedence.
b) In determining whether a source has caused or contributed to an
exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard for PM-10, the
Agency may take whatever steps are necessary to determine which source
or sources are culpable for the exceedence, including, but not limited to:
1) Evaluating whether the exceedence can be classified as an
"exceptional event" pursuant to the "Guideline on the
Identification and Use of Air Quality Data Affected by Exceptional
Events," incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part;
2) Reviewing operating records of the source or sources identified
pursuant to subsections (b)(3) and (b)(4) below to determine
whether any source or sources so identified experienced a
malfunction or breakdown or violated any term or condition of its
operating permit which contributed to the exceedence;
3) Evaluating the monitoring equipment filter evidencing the
exceedence to determine the types of sources that contributed to
the exceedence; and
4) Evaluating meteorological data and conducting dispersion analyses
pursuant to the "Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised),"
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, to
determine which source or sources caused or contributed to the
exceedence.
c) If the Agency determines that the exceedence can be classified as an
exceptional event, the Agency shall make a written request to USEPA to
void the exceedence. If the exceedence has been caused by an
"exceptional event," the Agency shall make no requests upon any source
for Level I or Level II controls pursuant to Section 212.704(a) or (b) of
this Subpart until such time as USEPA has denied the Agency's request to
void the exceedence or until an additional exceedence of the 24-hour
ambient air quality standard which is not due to an exceptional event, as
determined by the Agency, has been monitored for the same area.
d) If the Agency determines that the exceedence was due to a malfunction or
breakdown or violation of any term or condition of a source's operating
permit, the Agency shall contact such source and may pursue appropriate
action under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.
e) The Agency's determination of culpability of a source is appealable to the
Board pursuant to the procedures set forth at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106,
Subpart J.
(Source: Added at 18 Ill. Reg. 11587, effective July 11, 1994.)
Section 212.703 Contingency Measure Plan Elements
a) All sources subject to this Subpart shall submit a contingency measure
plan. The contingency measure plan shall contain two levels of control
measures:
1) Level I measures are measures that will reduce total actual annual
source-wide fugitive emissions of PM-10 subject to control under
Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through
(e), 212.424 or 212.464 by at least 15%.
2) Level II measures are measures that will reduce total actual annual
source-wide fugitive emissions of PM-10 subject to control under
Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through
(e), 212.424 or 212.464 by at least 25%.
b) A source may comply with this Subpart through an alternative compliance
plan that provides for reductions in emissions equal to the level of
reduction of fugitive emissions as required at subsection (a) above and
which has been approved by the Agency and USEPA as federally
enforceable permit conditions. If a source elects to include controls on
process emission units, fuel combustion emission units, or other fugitive
emissions of PM-10 not subject to Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306,
212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or 212.464 at the source in its
alternative control plan, the plan must include a reasonable schedule for
implementation of such controls, not to exceed two (2) years. This
implementation schedule is subject to Agency review and approval.
(Source: Added at 18 Ill. Reg. 11587, effective July 11, 1994)
Section 212.704 Implementation
a) Following any exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard for
PM-10, the Agency shall notify the source or sources the Agency has
identified as likely to be causing or contributing to an exceedence detected
by monitoring. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notification,
each source so notified may implement Level I or Level II measures, as
determined pursuant to subsection (d) below.
b) If there is a violation of the ambient air quality standard for PM-10 as
determined in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix K, incorporated
by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, the Agency shall notify the
source or sources the Agency has identified as likely to be causing or
contributing to one or more of the exceedences leading to such violation,
and such source or sources shall implement Level I or Level II measures,
as determined pursuant to subsection (e) below. The source or sources so
identified shall implement such measures corresponding to fugitive
emissions within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notification and
shall implement such measures corresponding to any nonfugitive
emissions according to the approved schedule set forth in such source's
alternative control plan. Any source identified as causing or contributing
to a violation of the ambient air quality standard for PM-10 may appeal
any finding of culpability by the Agency to the Board pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 106, Subpart J.
c) Upon the finding of a failure to attain by the Administrator of USEPA, the
Agency shall notify all sources in the applicable area required to submit
contingency measure plans pursuant to Section 212.700 of this Subpart of
such finding by the Administrator; however, the Agency's failure to notify
a source of its requirement to implement its contingency measure plan
because of the Administrator's finding of a failure to attain shall not be a
defense to a violation of this Subpart and shall not relieve the source of its
obligation to timely comply with this Section. All such sources subject to
this Subpart shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notification,
implement any Level II measures corresponding to fugitive emissions
subject to control under Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308,
212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or 212.464 and shall implement any
Level II measures corresponding to any nonfugitive emissions of PM-10
according to the approved schedule set forth in such source's alternative
control plan, unless such corresponding Level II controls have been
previously implemented by such source or sources pursuant to subsection
(a) or (b) above.
d) The Agency shall request that sources comply with the Level I or Level II
measures of their contingency measure plans, pursuant to subsection (a)
above, as follows:
1) Level I measures shall be requested when the magnitude of the
monitored exceedence at a given air quality monitor is less than or
equal to 170 ug/m(3).
2) Level II measures shall be requested when the magnitude of the
monitored exceedence at a given air quality monitor exceeds 170
ug/m(3).
e) The Agency shall require that sources comply with the Level I or Level II
measures of their contingency measure plans, pursuant to subsection (b)
above, as follows:
1) Level I measures shall be required when the design value of a
violation of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard, as computed
pursuant to 40 CFR 50, Appendix K, incorporated by reference in
Section 212.113 of this Part, is less than or equal to 170 ug/m(3).
2) Level II measures shall be required when the design value of a violation of
the 24-hour ambient air quality standard, as computed pursuant to 40 CFR
50, Appendix K, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part,
exceeds 170 ug/m(3).
(Source: Added at 18 Ill. Reg. 11587, effective July 11, 1994)
Section 212.705 Alternative Implementation
Should the Agency determine that more than one source is a contributing source pursuant
to Section 212.702 of this Subpart, the Agency may accept controls from fewer than all
of the sources identified as culpable where greater than the required levels of control for
all culpable sources are achieved at some of the culpable sources.
a) For the purposes of this Section, an "identified source" is a source
determined to be culpable for an exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air
quality standard.
b) For the purposes of this Section, a "participating source" is another source
that is also identified as culpable by the Agency for the monitored
exceedence.
c) For the purposes of this Section, "equivalent air quality benefits" shall be
determined by conducting one or more dispersion analyses in accordance
with the "Guideline on Air Quality Models (revised)," incorporated by
reference in Section 212.113 of this Part.
d) An identified source may elect to achieve compliance with the provisions
of this Subpart by obtaining equivalent air quality benefits from PM-10
emissions reductions by a participating source as would be achieved at the
identified source, provided, however, that the PM-10 emissions reductions
to be achieved by the participating source under this Section are in
addition to any other obligation it may have under this Subpart to reduce
PM-10 emissions.
e) If an identified source elects to rely on this Section to demonstrate
compliance with this Subpart, the identified source must:
1) Demonstrate to the Agency that it will achieve equivalent air
quality benefits from PM-10 emission reductions at the
participating source as would be achieved from the identified
source subject to this Subpart;
2) The PM-10 emissions reductions from the participating source that
the identified source is relying upon to demonstrate compliance
with this Subpart must be reflected as federally enforceable permit
conditions of the participating source's permit;
3) The participating source implements any emissions reductions for
fugitive emissions of PM-10 within ninety (90) days after the
identified source would have been required to implement Level I
or Level II measures pursuant to this Subpart; and
4) The participating source submits a reasonable schedule for
implementation of any PM-10 emission reductions from controls
on process emission units, fuel combustion emission units, or other
fugitive emissions of PM-10 at the participating source not subject
to control under Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308,
212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or 212.464, not to exceed two (2)
years from the date of notification to the identified source that
Level I or Level II measures, as appropriate, are required.

b) As of April 14, 1972, construction was commenced on equipment or
modifications sufficient to achieve compliance with Rule 203(b).
Rule 203 (d) (3) (A) and (B)
Corn wet milling processes subject to Rule 203 (d) (3) were subject to a standard

compliance with an approved compliance program and project completion
schedule pursuant to Rule 104 for all sources of particulate emissions subject to
Rule 203 (d) (5) and 203(f) as amended under common ownership or control in
the same air quality control region constituted compliance with the emission
standards and limitations contained in Part II if such Compliance Program and
Project Completion Schedule;
a) provided for compliance by all sources of particulate matter subject to
