OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G. T. Girard):
On November 14, 1995, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed this
proposal for rulemaking pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS
5/1 et seq. (1994)). Section 189(a) of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, requires
all areas classified as moderate nonattainment areas for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter
less than or equal to a nominal ten micrometers (PM-10) to present a state implementation plan (SIP)
for implementing reasonably available control measures (RACM). On November 15, 1990, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) designated Lake Calumet and McCook areas in
Cook County and Granite City in Madison County as moderate nonattainment areas for PM-10. On
May 15, 1992, a SIP was submitted for Lake Calumet, McCook, and Granite City. The USEPA
conditionally approved the SIP on November 18, 1994. (59 F.R. 59653.) These proposed
amendments will address the concerns raised by USEPA in the conditional approval of the SIP.
The Board's responsibility in this matter arises from the Environmental Protection Act (Act)
(415 ILCS 5/1 et seq. (1994)). The Board is charged therein to "determine, define and implement the
environmental control standards applicable in the State of Illinois" (415 ILCS 5/5(b)). More generally,
the Board's rulemaking charge is based on the system of checks and balances integral to Illinois
environmental governance: the Board bears responsibility for the rulemaking and principal adjudicatory
functions; the Agency has primary responsibility for administration of the Act and the Board's
regulations. The latter includes administration of today's new regulation.
This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Act. (415 ILCS 5/28.5.) Pursuant to
the provisions of that section the Board is required to proceed within set time-frames toward the
adoption of this regulation. The Board has no discretion to adjust these time-frames under any
circumstances. Therefore, the Board adopted the first notice opinion and order on November 16,
1995, without commenting on the merits of the proposal. The proposal was published for first notice
under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1
et seq
.) on December 1, 1995 at 19
Ill. Reg. 15925 (Part 211) and 19 Ill. Reg. 15940 (Part 212). The Board held a hearing on January 5,
2
1996, before Board hearing officer Marie Tipsord. The remaining scheduled hearings were canceled by
hearing officer order dated January 25, 1996, and the record was closed on January 31, 1996.
On March 7, 1996, the Board found that the proposal was economically reasonable and
technically feasible and sent this matter to the legislative Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
(JCAR) for second notice review. On April 23, 1996, JCAR voted a certificate of no objection for 35
Ill. Adm. Code 211 and 212. JCAR made several requests for changes which the Board has
incorporated into today’s order. Those changes are discussed in more detail below.
The Board today adopts the proposal and directs that the rules be filed with the Secretary of
State.
PROPOSAL
Although this proposal includes amendments which will apply statewide, the major changes in
this proposal will affect steel production sources located in the McCook and Lake Calumet areas in
Cook County and the Granite City area in Madison County. (Reasons at 3.)
1
As previously stated the
proposal addresses several concerns raised by USEPA in the conditional SIP approval. The USEPA
cited to four issues which needed to be addressed in rulemaking prior to full SIP approval. Pursuant to
the CAA, Illinois must address these issues within 12 months or the conditional approval becomes a
partial disapproval and sanctions will apply within 18 months. Specifically the proposal addresses:
1)
a 20 percent opacity limit on uncaptured particulate matter from a basic oxygen
furnace (BOF) shop;
2)
a 30 percent opacity limit on coke oven combustion stacks;
3)
a 20 percent opacity limit on the roof ventilators for certain electric arc furnaces; and
4)
amendments to clarify wording.
(Reasons at 4-6.)
According to the Agency, the 20 percent opacity limit for the roof monitor and other building
openings at the Granite City Steel BOF shop “correlates more accurately with the emissions estimate
used in the attainment demonstration”. (TSD at 2; Reasons at 4.) The Agency also indicated that a 20
percent opacity limit is consistent with the opacity limit selected by the nearby states of Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio for the BOFs in those states. (
Id
.) Compliance with the 20 percent opacity limit
can be demonstrated using Method 9 contained in 40 CFR 60 except that a shorter averaging time of
1
The statement of reasons from the Agency’s proposal will be cited as “Reasons at ___”; the
technical support document attached to the proposal will be cited as “TSD at __”; each public comment
will be cited as “P.C. # at ___”; the transcript from the hearing will be cited as “Tr. at ___”.
3
three minutes will be used instead of six minutes to reflect that some of the BOF operations do not last
six minutes. (
Id
.) The Agency further stated that Granite City Steel has agreed to a more stringent limit
of 60 pounds per hour of PM-10 and a new rate based limit of 0.225 pounds of PM-10 per ton of steel
produced for the BOF stack. (
Id
.)
The second concern delineated by USEPA dealt with the lack of an opacity limit for coke oven
combustion stacks. (Reasons at 4.) Without such a limit, USEPA is concerned that this could delay
any potential enforcement and therefore early correction. The Agency states that the performance of a
stack test is much more costly and time consuming than an opacity reading. (TSD at 3; Reasons at 4.)
Therefore the Agency’s proposal sets an opacity limit of 30 percent for coke oven combustion stacks.
(Reasons at 4.) Sources which are affected by this proposal believe that the 30 percent opacity limit
can be met except when one of the ovens needs to be repaired and is taken off-line for ceramic
welding. (TSD at 4; Reasons at 4-5.) The Agency has proposed an exemption from the 30 percent
opacity limit for up to three hours when a coke oven is being repaired. (Reasons at 5.)
The USEPA also expressed concern that the roof monitors for the electric arc furnaces at the
steel foundry located in Granite City are too short to accommodate stack testing equipment and cannot
be easily altered to do so. (Reasons at 5.) Because of the inability to accommodate stack testing
equipment, the Agency indicated it is not possible to readily test whether the emissions from the
ventilators are in compliance with the mass emission limit. (TSD at 5; Reasons at 5.) A 20 percent
opacity limit is equivalent to the mass emission limit at the steel foundry and a 20 percent limit can be
applied to the entire facility as other stacks may also be too short for testing. (Reasons at 5.)
The proposal also clarifies language in several sections which USEPA believed was confusing or
duplicative. Specifically, the USEPA believed that the language in Section 212.107 was confusing.
(Reasons at 5.) Further, USEPA considers the language in Section 212.110 to be duplicative and
inconsistent with the language in Sections 212.107, 212.108, and 212.109. (
Id
.) Finally, the USEPA
expressed concern that the language in Sections 212.324(d), 212.362(c), 212425(c), 212.458(c) and
212.464(c) could be read to exempt sources with no visible emissions from any stack testing. (
Id
.)
The Agency has also proposed minor amendments to eliminate duplicative or obsolete sections,
to update language consistent with the Clean Air Act Permit Program, to clarify rules, to address the
Secretary of State's recommended style, and to amend the limitations found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
212.458(b)(25) which pertain to a specific magnesium facility in Granite City. (See, Reasons at 6-7.)
COMMENTS
The Board received five comments on this rulemaking and one statement on the record at the
January 5, 1996 hearing. In addition, the Agency testified and answered questions regarding the
proposal at that public hearing. Mr. James T. Harrington appeared at hearing and offered a statement
on behalf of the Illinois Steel Group. The following participants submitted public comments:

Attorney General
Public Comment 5
Agency comment by Rachel L. Doctors.
Chicago Department of the Environment
The Chicago Department of the Environment’s (CDOE) comment indicates that CDOE
generally supports the proposal; however, CDOE is “opposed to the repeal of” Section 212.315,
“Covering of Vehicles”. CDOE states:
While other regulations can be indirectly applied to vehicle load emission situations, the
current section delineates a direct statutory violation for this regularly occurring public
nuisance. Repeal of this rule significantly erodes the ability of CDOE and the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency to effectively enforce and control particulate
emissions from this source category, and prevents the general populace (i.e. affected
community residents) from serving in a desired and needed role as observer and witness
to such violations.
(P.C. 1 at 2.)
CDOE also indicated that although repeal of the Ringelmann Chart references is consistent with
the more updated and precise use of percent opacity values, the Ringelmann Chart has been used fairly
recently in training. (P.C. 1 at 1.) CDOE also urged the State to provide a more contextual definition
and illustration of the “Universal Transmercator boundaries” in Section 212.315. (P.C. 1 at 2.)
Agency Response
The Agency indicated that the Ringelmann Chart is no longer used in training and that the
Agency is developing a map that will provide to the City clarified “Universal Transmercator
boundaries”. (P.C. 5 at 2-3.) With regard to the repeal of Section 212.315, the Agency notes that
Section 10(E) of the Act prohibits the Board from enforcing any regulation which requires a covering on
a truck that is stricter than Section 15-109.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/1-101
et seq
.).
(P.C. 5 at 2.) Section 15-109.1 prohibits the operation of any second division vehicle if a portion of the
load is sifting, blowing, dropping or escaping from the vehicle. Section 212.315 requires that a vehicle
5
be covered to prevent the release of particulate matter. “Hence, the requirements of the two sections
are not parallel.” (P.C. 5 at 3.) The Agency will agree that Section 212.315 need not be repealed if
the Board will note that the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code supersede those in Board regulations.
(
Id
.)
The Board agrees that the repeal of Section 212.315 is not necessary at this time. Clearly, the
Board's regulations cannot supersede a statutory provision and therefore, the provisions of Section
212.315 may not be construed as more stringent than Section 15-109.1 of the Vehicle Code.
In response to a request from JCAR, the Board has included at the end of Section 212.315 the
following:
(Board Note: Pursuant to Section 10(E) of the Act, Section 212.315
cannot be more strict than Section 15-109.1 of the Vehicle Code.
[625 ILCS 5/15-109.1.])
The Board will also update the statutory citations in this Section at JCAR request.
Spectrulite Consortium, Inc
Spectrulite Consortium, Inc. (Spectrulite) comments that it is concerned with the provisions of
Section 212.458(b)(25) which allows Spectrulite to contemporaneously operate two magnesium pot
furnace lines at the Granite City facility. Spectrulite requests that the amendment be clarified to make
clear that no more than two lines may operate at a time. Spectrulite requests the following amendment
to Section 212.458(b)(25):
Magnesium pot furnaces at a secondary aluminum smelting and refining plant located in
the vicinity of Granite City, as defined in Section 212.324 (a) (1) (C) of this Part can be
operated only one no more than two lines at a time;
(P.C. 2 at 1.)
Agency Response
The Agency agrees with the comment filed by Spectrulite and agrees that the language should
be included. (P.C. 5 at 1.) The Board will amend the proposal to reflect the comment by Spectrulite.
Grain and Feed Association of Illinois
The Grain and Feed Association of Illinois (Association) asks that the Board consider the
addition of a Board note to Section 212.462. The Association is concerned that while Section 9 of the
Act exempts country grain elevators from Section 212.462(b) “on its face purports to apply to these
6
exempted facilities”. (P.C. 3 at 1.) The Association points out that a rule cannot override the statute.
The Association asks that the following be added:
Board Note: Section 9 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act has been amended
to exempt certain facilities from portions of this rule.
(P.C. 3 at 1.)
Agency Response
A check of the service list indicates that the Agency did not receive the comment; thus, the
Agency could not address the comment by the Association. The Board agrees that a rule cannot
override the statute. At second notice the Board did not believe that a Board note need be added to
Section 212.462. Therefore, the Board declined to adopt the change suggested by the Association.
During JCAR’s second notice review, JCAR requested that the Board add a Board note at the
end of Section 212.462(b). The Board agreed to make the change and will add the following at the end
of Section 212.462(b):
(Board Note: Pursuant to Section 9 of the Act, certain country grain elevators are
exempt from subsection (b) of this Section.)
Attorney General of the State of Illinois
The Illinois Attorney General’s Office suggested that the incorporation by reference in Section
211.101(b) be amended to update the incorporation from 1972 to 1987. (P.C. 4 at 1.)
Agency Response
The Agency indicated that it is currently investigating the impact of the updated incorporation
suggested by the Attorney General’s Office. (P.C. 5 at 1.) The Agency believes that “it is
inappropriate to make that change without a more complete explanation being developed at hearing”.
(
Id
.) The Agency stated that the change from 1972 to 1987 “may impact source classifications”. (P.C.
5 at 2.) The Agency indicates that it will consider this change for future amendments. (
Id
.) The Board
agrees that more investigation should be undertaken before updating this incorporation. Therefore, the
Board declines to make this change at this time.
Illinois Steel Group
The Illinois Steel Group (ISG) indicated agreement with the portions of the proposal which will
affect the steel industry with two amendments. ISG asked the Agency to consider an amendment to
Section 212.458(b)(23) in order to clarify the meaning of the section. (Tr. at 24-26.) The change
would read:
7
23)
31.1 27.24 kg/hr (68.560 lbs/hr) and 0.1125 kg/Mg (0.225 lbs/T) of total steel
produced in process, whichever limit is more stringent for the total of all basic oxygen
furnace processes described in Section 212.446(a) of this Subpart and measured at the
BOF stack located at steel plant in the vicinity of Granite City, as defined in Section
212.324(a)(1)(C) of this Part;
(Tr. at 27; P.C. 5 at 4.)
The second amendment was to Section 212.443 and ISG asked if the Agency would object to applying
Method 9 from 40 CFR 60, Appendix A to coke battery stack testing in Section 212.443. (Tr. at 22.)
The Agency indicated that it would not and ISG offered the following language:
g)
Coke Oven Combustion Stack:
1)
No person shall cause or allow the emissions of particulate matter from a coke
oven combustion stack to exceed 110 mg/dscm (0.05 gr/dscf); and
2) No person shall cause or allow the emission of particulate matter from a coke
oven combustion stack to exceed 30% opacity. Compliance shall be
determined in accordance with 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, Method 9,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part. However, the
opacity limit shall not apply to a coke oven combustion stack when a leak
between any coke oven and the oven’s vertical or crossover flues is being
repaired, after pushing coke from the oven is completed, but before resumption
of charging. The exemption from the opacity limit shall not exceed three (3)
hours per oven repaired. The owner or operator shall keep written records
identifying the oven repaired, and the date, time, and duration of all repair
periods. These records shall be subject to the requirements of Sections
212.324(g)(4) and (g)(5) of this Part.
Agency Response
The Agency agrees with the language suggested by ISG. (P.C. 5 at 4.) The Board will amend
the proposal to reflect these changes.
General Agency Comments
The Agency also responded to two questions that the Board presented to the Agency at
hearing. The first of those questions concerned the definition for “animal kingdom” at Section 211.484.
The Agency replied that it agrees that most biologists believe that there are more than two kingdoms
and suggests that “plants” be replaced with “other multicellular organisms”. The Agency also suggests
that “kingdom, Animal” be replaced with “kingdom, Animalia”. (P.C. 5 at 3.) The second question
8
which the Agency responded to is whether the abbreviation for liter should be “l” or “L”. The Agency
believes that appropriate abbreviation is “L”. (
Id
.) However, the Agency requests that for consistency
the change be made in Part 212 but not in Part 211 at this time. The Board will make these changes as
recommended by the Agency.
At the January 5, 1996, hearing the Agency submitted an “Errata Sheet” as exhibit 5. Included
on the Errata sheet is the following:
This rulemaking proposes to delete references to the Ringelmann Chart; however, it
omitted deleting the definition for the Ringelmann Chart. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.5650
should be repealed.
(Exhibit 5.)
The Board cannot make this change. Section 211.5650 was not proposed for amendment at first
notice. The Board cannot open a new section for the first time at second notice. (See 5 ILCS 5-40.)
If the Agency believes that this change is necessary the Agency will need to include this change in a
future rulemaking. The Board will make the other changes recommended on the Errata sheet.
JCAR Suggetions
In addition to the changes made by the Board in response to JCAR suggestions discussed
above, the Board made several minor changes. In addition, the Board agreed to delete the last
sentence in Section 212.446. The Board also agreed to reletter Section 212.456(c) to read:
c)

DISCUSSION
The Board has carefully considered all public comments, as well as the testimony and exhibits,
in this matter. There is no substantive disagreement between the commenters and the Agency as to the
substance of the rule. In response to the comments the Board further amended the proposal in several
areas. As requested by CDOE, the Board did not repeal Section 212.315 at this time. Clearly, the
Board's regulations cannot supersede a statutory provision and therefore, the provisions of Section
212.315 may not be construed as more stringent than Section 15-109.1 of the Vehicle Code. Further,
in response to a comment from Spectrulite, the Board amended Section 212.458(b)(25) to clarify the
language. The Board also amended the proposal as suggested by the Illinois Steel Group and agreed to
by the Agency. Further, the Board amended the proposal as suggested by the Agency in the errata
sheet except for the request to repeal Section 211.5650. Finally, the Board will adopt the proposal
including all requests made by JCAR.
CONCLUSION
The Board finds that the proposed rules are technically feasible and economically reasonable,
and that the rules are necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. We find that the record
supports adopiton of the proposed rules as amended. Therefore, the Board will direct the Clerk to
cause the filing of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211 and 212 with the Secretary of State for final adoption.

Section 212.126
Adjusted Opacity Standards Procedures
40
a)
Pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987
ch. 111 1/2 pars. 1028.1)[415 ILCS 5/28.1], and in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 106, Subpart E, provisions for adjusted visible emissions standards for visible
emissions for emission sourcesunits subject to Sections 212.201, 212.202, 212.203, or
212.204 of this Part and either Section 212.122 or 212.123 shall be granted by the
Board to the extent consistent with federal law based upon a demonstration by such a
sourceowner 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
sourceemission 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 sourceunit which meets the requirements of subsection (a), aboveof this
Section, may request the Agency to determine the average opacity of the emissions
from the emission sourceunit during any performance test(s) 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 sourceunit 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.
41
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 USEPA 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 USEPA 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
sourceunit, the status of compliance with the applicable particulate emissions
limitation shall be determined by the Agency. In accordance with USEPA 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
sourceemission 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)
aboveof 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 test(s), the Agency determines that the emission sourceunit 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
42
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 sourceemission 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 test(s) which form the basis of the adjusted standard
request;
4)
A copy of the written report submitted to the Agency pursuant to subsection (g)
aboveof this Section;
5)
A statement that the performance test(s) 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) aboveof 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 test(s) were conducted in accordance with USEPA 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 sourceunit 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 test(s); and
43
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.

Section 212.462
Grain-Handling Operations
Unless otherwise exempted pursuant to Section 212.461(c) or (d) of this Subpart, or allowed to use
alternate control according to Section 212.461(g) of this Subpart, existing grain-handling operations
with a total annual grain through-put of 300,000 bushels or more shall apply for an operating permit
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201, and shall demonstrate compliance with the following:
a)
Cleaning and Separating Operations.
1)
Particulate matter generated during cleaning and separating operations shall be
captured to the extent necessary to prevent visible particulate matter emissions
directly into the atmosphere.
2)
For grain-handling facilitiessources having a grain through-put of not more than
2 million bushels per year or located outside a major population area, air
contaminants collected from cleaning and separating operations shall be
conveyed through air pollution control equipment which has a rated and actual
93
particulate removal efficiency of not less than 90% percent by weight prior to
release into the atmosphere.
3)
For grain-handling facilitiessources having a grain through-put exceeding 2
million bushels per year and located within a major population area, air
contaminants collected from cleaning and separating operations shall be
conveyed through air pollution control equipment which has a rated and actual
particulate removal efficiency of not less than 98% percent by weight prior to
release into the atmosphere.
b)
Major Dump-Pit Area.
1)
Induced Draft.
A)
Induced draft shall be applied to major dump pits and their associated
equipment (including, but not limited to, boots, hoppers and legs) to
such an extent that a minimum face velocity is maintained, at the
effective grate surface, sufficient to contain particulate emissions
generated in unloading operations. The minimum face velocity at the
effective grate surface shall be at least 200 fpm, which shall 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 square feetft
2
; and
B)
The induced draft air stream for grain-handling facilitiessources 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 by weight;
and
C)
The induced draft air stream for grain-handling facilitiessources having a
grain through-put exceeding 2 million bushels per year and located in 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 98% percent by weight;
and
94
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 feetft;
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: Section 9 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act has
been amended to exempt certain facilities from portions of this rule.)
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
facilitiessources 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.
3)
Air contaminants collected from internal transfer operations for grain-handling
facilitiessources having a grain through-put exceeding 2 million bushels per year
and located in 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 98% percent by weight prior to release into the atmosphere.
d)
Load-Out Area.
1)
Truck and hopper car loading shall employ socks, sleeves or equivalent devices
which extend 6 inches below the sides of the receiving vehicle, except for
95
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
facilitiessources 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
facilitiessources 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. New and modified gGrain-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 new and modified grain-handling operations for which construction
or modification commenced on or after June 30, 1975, which will handle an annual grain
through-put of less than 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."
