OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by

 B. Forcade):

On November 19,

 1991, the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (“Agency”)

 filed this proposal for rulemaking.

The

proposal is intended to regulate particulate matter with an

aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10

micrometers, which is known as PM—b.

 The proposal represents

one part of Illinois’ submittal of a complete state

implementation plan

 (SIP)

 for the control of PM-b

 emissions.

Pursuant to Section 189 of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990,

Illinois is to adopt and submit its plan by November 15,

 1991.

This proposal

 is directed at state wide implementation of PM-10

regulations.

 The Board is currently considering a proposal to

control PM-b

 in the NcCook and Lake Calumet areas in Cook County

 and to the Granite City area in Madison County (R91-22).

 Also,

the Board has completed a regulation to control PM-b

 in the

Oglesby area in LaSalle County,

 in docket R9l-6.

 The Board

accepted the proposal for hearing on November 27,

 1991.

The

Board also accepted the Agency’s certification that this

rulemaking is federally required pursuant to Section 28.2 of the

Environmental Protection Act

 (“Act”)

 (Ill. Rev.

 Stat.

 1989,

ch.

111 1/2, par.

 1028.2),

 as amended by PA.

 86—1409.

On December 13,

 1991,

 the Board received a Motion to Amend

the Proposal filed by the Agency.

 The Agency seeks to amend

Section 212.424 to correct an inadvertent nonsubstantive error

which was included in the original proposal filed by the Agency

in R91-6.

 The error was not discovered until the rule was ~fibed

and effective.

 The Agency seeks to amend this proposal as

Section 212

 is open in this docket and “it would be expedient to

make this correction in this docket”.

 (Ag. Mot.

2).

 The Board

agrees that it would be expedient to correct the error in this

docket and therefore grants the Agency’s motion.

Today the Board sends this proposal to first notice,

as

required by Section 5.01 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure

Act.

 (Ill.

 Rev. Stat.

 1989,

ch.

 127,

 par. 1005.01).

 The Board

takes this action without ruling on the merit of the proposal and

128—901

2

takes no position regarding the substance of the proposal.

The

proposal is submitted for publication as filed by the Agency.

The Board has made only minor nonsubstantive changes to the rules

as proposed by the Agency,

 in order to conform to.~Illinois

Administrative Procedure Act and Administrative Code Unit

requirements.

 The Board emphasizes that in sending this proposal

at this time will maximize the opportunity for public comment on

the proposal.

 Additionally, the Board has already stated that it

places a very high priority on the quick resolution of this

rulemaking.

 Beginning the statutorily-required first notice

period at this time will allow for the most expeditious

resolution of the proceeding.

The Board again notes that the Clean Air Act,

 as amended on

November 15,

 1990, required Illinois to adopt and submit a state

implementation plan

 (SIP)

 for PM-b

 by November 15,

 1991.

(42

U.S.C.

 § 75b3a).

 According to the Agency’s statement of reasons

in support of this proposal, the PM-b

 standards were adopted by

The United States Environmental Protection Agency

 (USEPA)

 on July

1,

 1987.

 Additionally, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,

 which established the November 15,

 1991 deadline for submittal of

a PM—b

 SIP, were signed into law on November 15,

 b990.

 However,

the Agency did not submit this proposal to the Board until

November 19,

 1991,

 4 days after the November

 15 deadline

for

submittal to USEPA.

 Nevertheless, the Board will proceed with

this rulemaking as quickly as possible, while conforming with the

requirements imposed by statute.

ORDER

The Board directs the Clerk of the Board to cause first

notice publication of the following amendments in the Illinois

Register.

A)

 No person shall cause or allow the emission

 from the

introduction of coal into the first charge

port,

 as indicated by the first mechanical

movement of the coal feeding mechanism on the

larry car, to the replacement of the final

 1 charge out of any 20

consecutive charges may be deemed an

uncountable charge at the option 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.

128—9 11

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 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.

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/her

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

Affected

a)

 An advisory or watch shall be declared for the entire

Illinois

portion

 any Air Quality Control Region

if

any part of such region meets the advisory or watch

criteria.

 When atmospheric conditions and contaminant

emissions in a region are such as to cause the advisory

watch

criteria

met

another

region,

advisory or watch shall be declared for any Illinois

portion of both regions.

128—9 26

b)

 An alert or emergency shall be declared for only those

portions of an advisory or watch area which meet the

applicable criteria of Subpart D or cause such criteria

to be met elsewhere in Illinois or in another state.

When such criteria have been met, sectors of the

advisory or watch area requiring alert or emergency

actions shall be defined depending upon expected

atmospheric conditions, contaminant emissions and

dispersion analyses.

 Alerts or emergencies shall then

be declared for one or more of these sectors.

telemetry with the headquarters of the Agency shall

conduct their operations in such a manner as to provide

valid data to the Agency.

d)

 Agency Representatives at Local Agency Control Centers.

In regions where local agencies are participating with

 the Agency in episode control activities,

 one or more

Agency representatives may station themselves at the

control center of the local agency during an air

pollution episode.

 The Agency representatives shall

have authority to cause data to be transmitted by

telephone or other rapid form of communication to

Director.

e)

 Local Agency Episode Operations.Plan.

 Local agencies

participating with the Agency in episode control

activities shall file for approval with the Agency an

episode operations plan which describes procedures for
