FIRST NOTICE.
OPINION
AND ORDER
OF THE BOARD
(by E. Dunham):
On June 15,
1994, the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (Agency) filed this proposal for rule making.
Section
182(b) (1)
of the Clean Air Act
(42 USC 7511(b) (1)) requires all
moderate and above ozone nonattaininent areas to achieve a 15
reduction in
1990 emissions of volatile organic material
(VON) by
1996.
The Chicago and the Metro-East
St.
Louis areas are
classified as severe and moderate nonattainment areas for ozone
and are subject to the 15
reduction requirement.
The proposed
rule represents Part III of the rules proposed in the Agency’s
15
Rate of Progress Plan (ROP Plan).
Section 182(b)
(1)
requires
states to submit 15
ROP Plans within three years of the
enactment of the CAA.
Illinois submitted its plan on November
15,
1993.
On January 21,
1994, the USEPA found the submitted
plan to be incomplete because
it
was not accompanied by fully
adopted rules.
Illinois is currently on notice that
it
has 18
months to adopt the necessary rules before sanctions are imposed
under Section 179(a)
of the
CAA
(42 USC §7509(a)).
The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
Environmental Protection Act (Act).
(4i~ILCS
5/1 et
seq.
(1992).)
The Board is charged by the ~
to “determine,
define,
and implement the environmental controi _tandards applicable in
the state of Illinois.”
(415 ILCS 5/5(b)
(1992).)
More
generally, the Board’s rule making charge is based on the system
of checks and balances integral to the Illinois environmental
system:
the Board has responsibility for the rulemaking and
principal adjudicatory functions, while the Agency is responsible
for carrying out the principal administrative duties.
The
Agency’s duties include administering the regulations that are
proposed for adoption in this rulemaking.
This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the
Environmental Protection Act (Act).
(415
ILCS5/28.5
(1992).)
Pursuant
to the provisions of that section the Board is required
to proceed within the set time frames toward the adoption of the
regulation.
The Board has no discretion to adjust these time
frames under any circumstances.
Today the Board acts to send
this proposal to first notice under the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act without commenting
on
the merits of the proposal.
2
The following schedule indicates the deadlines by which the Board
must act as provided in Section 28.5.

on or before June 29,
1994

Final Adoption or Filing
21 days after receipt of JCAR
certification of no objection
The Board notes that the above dates are the deadlines as
established by Section 28.5 and do not represent actual hearing
dates or filing dates.
While
the schedule includes a second and
third hearing, these hearings may be cancelled if unnecessary.
The Board will proceed in this matter as prescribed in Section
28.5 and discussed in the Board’s resolution.
(See RES 92—2
(October 29,
1992 and December 3,
1992).)
The Agency has filed a “Motion for Waiver of Certain
Requirements” with the proposal.
The Agency requests waiver of
the following requirements: that the Agency submit the original
and nine copies of the original and nine copies of the entire
regulatory proposal, that the Agency submit an entire copy of the
proposal to the Attorney General and the Department of Energy and
Natural Resources
(DENR),
and that the Agency submit copies of
all documents on which it relied.
The Agency requests that it be
permitted to file an original plus five complete copies of the
proposal and four partial copies.
A partial copy does not
include the supporting exhibits.
The Attorney General and DENR
have agreed with the Agency that a complete copy of the proposal
need not be served on them.
The Agency has provided the Board
with one copy of some of the documents on which it relied and
notes that the other documents are readily accessible or already
in the Board’s possession.
The Board grants the Agency’s motion.
In the interest of administrative economy, the Board directs
the hearing officer to verify that persons on the notice list in
this proceeding wish to continue to receive mailings in this
proceeding.
ORDER
The Board directs the Clerk to cause publication of the
following amendments
in the Illinois Register for first notice1:
For mailing purposes, the Board has omitted from the
order those portions of the tables of contents, amounting to
almost 20 pages, that are not proposed to be changed in this

Section 219.Appendix C
Reference Tcot Methods For i~iruxi~a-~.ton
iroccoocoand Procedures
Introduction
This Appendix presents the reference methods and procedures
required for implementing Reasonably Available Control Technology
(RACT).
Methods and procedures are identified for two types of
RACT implementation:
a)
Determination of VOM destruction efficiency for evaluating
compliance with the 98 weight percent VON reduction or 20
ppmv emission limit specified in Sections 215.520 219.520
through 215.527 219.527 of this Part and
b)
Determination of offgas flowrate, hourly emissions and
stream net heating value for calculating TRE.
All reference methods identified in this Appendix refer to the
reference methods specified at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this
Part.
VON DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY DETERMINATION
The following reference methods and procedures are required for
determining compliance with the percent destruction efficiency
specified in Sections 215.520 219.520 through 215.527 219.527 of
this Part.
a)
Reference Method
1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
The control device inlet sampling site for determination of
vent stream molar composition or total organic compound
destruction efficiency shall be prior to the inlet of any
control device and after all recovery devices.
b)
Reference Methods
2,
2A, 2C or 2D for dete~.r!~inationof the
volumetric flowrate.
c)
Reference Method
3 to measure oxygen concentration of the
air dilution correction.
The emission sample shall be
corrected to
3 percent oxygen.
49
d)
Reference Method 25
(a) to determine the concentration of
total organic compounds (minus methane and ethane)
in the
control device outlet and total organic compound reduction
efficiency of the control device.
TRE DETERMINATION
The following reference methods and procedures are required for
determining the offgas flowrate, hourly emissions, and the net
heating value of the gas combusted to calculate the vent stream
TRE.
a)
Reference Method 1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
The sampling site for the vent stream flowrate and molar
composition determination prescribed in
(b) and
(c)
shall be
prior to the inlet of any combustion device, prior to any
post-reactor dilution of the stream with air and prior to
any post-reactor introduction of halogenated compounds into
the vent stream.
Subject to the preceding restrictions on
the sampling site,
it shall be after the final recovery
device.
If any gas stream other than the air oxidation vent
stream is normally conducted through the recovery system of
the affected facility, such stream shall be rerouted or
turned off while the vent stream is sampled, but shall be
routed normally prior to the measuring of the initial value
of the monitored parameters for determining compliance with
the recommended RACT.
If the air oxidation vent stream is
normally routed through any equipment which is not a part of
the air oxidation process as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
211.122 211.350 of this Part,
such equipment shall be
bypassed by the vent stream while the vent stream is
sampled, but shall not be bypassed during the measurement of
the initial value of the monitored parameters for
determining compliance with Subpart V.
b)
The molar composition of the vent stream shall be determined
using the following methods:
1)
Reference Method 18 to measure the concentration of all
organics, including those containing halogens, unless a
significant portion of the compounds of interest are
polymeric (high molecular weight), can polymerize
before analysis or have low vapor pressures,
in which
case Reference Method 25(a)
shall be used.
2)
ASTM D1946-67
(reapproved 1977),
incorporated by
reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this Part, to
measure the concentration of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen.
3)
Reference Method
4 to measure the content of water
vapor,
if necessary.
50
c)
The volumetric flowrate shall be determined using Reference
Method
2, 2A,
2C or 2D,
as appropriate.
1)
The net heating value of the vent stream shall be calculated
using the following equation:
n
H=K
E
CiHi
i=1
Where:
H
=
Net heating value of the sample, NJ/scm, where the
net enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on
combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm Hg, but the standard
temperature for determining the volume
corresponding to one mole is 20°C,as in tfle
definition of F
(vent stream flowrate) below.
K
=
Constant,
1.740 x 10~(1/ppm)
(mole/scm)
(MJ/kcal)
where standard temperature for mole/scm is 20°C.
Ci
=
Concentration of sample component i, reported on a
wet basis,
in ppm, as measured by Reference Method
18 or ASTM D1946—67
(reapproved 1977),
incorporated by reference in Section 215.105
219.112 of this Part.
Hi
=
Net heat of combustion of sample component i,
kcal/mole based on combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm
Hg.
If published values are not available or
cannot be calculated, the heats of combustion of
vent stream components are required to be
determined using ASTM D2382-76,
incorporated by
reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this Part.
e)
The emission rate of total organic compounds in the process
vent stream shall be calculated using the following
equation:
n
E=K
F
E
CiMi
i=l
Where:
E
=
Emission rate of total organic compounds (minus
methane and ethane)
in the sample in kg/hr;
K
=
Constant 2.494 x 1O~(1/ppm)
(mole/scm)
(kg/g)
(min/hr), where standard temperature for
(mole/scm)
is 20°C;
Mi
=
Molecular weight of sample component i
(g/mole);
51
F
=
Vent stream flowrate (scm/mm), at a standard
temperature of 20°C.
f)
The total vent stream concentration (by volume) of compounds
containing halogens (ppmv, by compound) shall be summed from
the individual concentrations of compounds containing
halogens which were measured by Reference Method 18.
