Section 280.101 | ||
Preamble and Statutory Authority | ||
a) | ||
On September 6, 1979, the Pollution Control Board adopted a Final Order in its regulatory proceeding R78-10 which amended its previously adopted particulate emission limitations for steel manufacturing processes. Included in the R78-10 regulations are limitations of visible emissions from the following by-product coke plant emission sources and/or operations: | ||
b) | ||
The regulations specify maximum time periods during which visible emissions are permitted during charging operations and maximum percentages of doors, lids, and offtake piping that are permitted to emit visible emissions. The purpose of this Rule is to establish procedures by which observers are able to determine the compliance status of by-product coke oven batteries subject to Rules 203(d)(5)(B)(ii), 203(d)(5)(B)(iv), 203(d)(5)(B)(v), and 203(d)(5)(B)(vi). | ||
c) | ||
This Rule is promulgated pursuant to authority conferred on the Environmental Protection Agency by Sections 4(b), 4(e), 4(g), 4(m), 30 and 39(a) of the Environmental Protection Act, Ill. Rev. Stat., ch. 111 1/2, pars. 1004(b), (e), (g) and (m), 1030 and 1039(a), and by Rule 203(d) (5) (B) the Illinois Pollution Control Board Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2: Air Pollution. | ||

Section 280.103 | ||
Applicability | ||
Section 280.104 | ||
Determination of Visible Emissions from Coke Oven Charging Operations | ||
1) | ||
The observer shall determine and record the total number of seconds that charging emissions are visible during the charging of coal to the coke oven. | ||
2) | ||
For each charge observed, the 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. | ||
3) | ||
The observer shall not 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. The observer shall also not record emissions from the end oven on a coke oven battery which is unable to utilize a jumper pipe connection. | ||
