PROPOSED RULE
FIRST NOTICE
OPINION AND ORDER OF
THE
BOARD by
(B.
Forcade):
This matter comes before the Board on a regulatory proposal
filed on January
10,
1991 by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (“Agency”)
concerning the PM—lO emission limits
for the portland cement manufacturing plant and associated quarry
operations located
in LaSalle County,
Illinois.
The proposed
regulations are applicable
to a single facility owned and
operated by Lone Star Industries
in Oglesby,
Illinois,
who agrees
with the Agency’s proposed regulations.
The proposed regulatory
changes would amend Part 212, Visible and Particulate Matter
Emissions,
35
Ill. Adm. Code 212.110, 212.423, and 212.424, and
Part 211, Definitions General Provisions,
35
Ill.
Adm. Code
211
•
122.
The Agency has certified,
and USEPA has confirmed and
certified,
that the proposed rule
is a federally required rule as
defined in Section 28.2(a) of the Illinois Environmental
Protection Act
(“Act”).
Section 28.2 was amended by P.A.
86—
1409, effective January
1,
1991,
requiring the Board to accept or
reject an Agency certification within
45 days.
If the Board does
not act within
45 days,
the certification shall be deemed
granted.
The Board notes that the new statute conflicts somewhat
with the Board’s procedural
rules governing Agency certifications
(see
35
Ill. Adm. Code 102,
Subpart F),
but finds that the new
statutory provisions govern this proceeding.
USEPA established the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(“NA~QS”) for PM—b
in 1987.
The 24—hour PM—lB standard is
150
ug/m
and the annual PM—b
standard
is
50 ug/m
.
See
52 FR 24634
(July
1,
1987).
These standards were authorized pursuant to
Sections 108 and 109 of the Clean Air Act,
42 U.S.C.
7408,
7409.
Section 110 of the Clean Air Act requires that a State
Implementation Plan (“SIP”)
be adopted to achieve federal air
quality standards.
42 U.S.C.
7410.
The proposed rule before the
Board
is intended to satisfy the federal requirements for
a SIP
for PM—l0
for the Oglesby,
Illinois area,
which area
is
designated as a
“moderate” nonattainment area, based on past air
quality violation.
See
55 FR 45799.
The 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments require submission of a PM—lO SIP by Illinois by
119—225
—2—
November
15, 1991.
The Board hereby accepts this regulatory
proposal as
a “required rule” under Section 28.2 of the Act.
In order to expedite the regulatory proceeding,
the Board
is
proposing this rulemaking for First Notice prior to hearing and
without reaching a conclusion on the substance of the rule.
The
Board is proposing amendments
to Parts 211 and 212 essentially as
submitted by the Agency.
The Board has made a number
of non—
substantive changes
in preparation for review of the proposed
rule by the Administrative Code Division of the Secretary of
State’s Office and by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
(“JCAR”).
The Board has made particular efforts
to clarify any
references to applicable standards or limitations
to satisfy JCAR
concerns for specificity and to use a format
for incorporations
by reference which JCAR recently approved in R87-31.
The Board
has attempted to preserve the intent of the Agency’s proposal
while yet anticipating probable revisions that could otherwise
pose delays in adopting the final rule well
in advance of the
Agency’s November 1991 deadline.
The participants will also note that certain terminology was
changed and sections were reorganized by the Board.
The Agency
proposed Section 212.108, Test Methods for PM—b
Emissions,
but
the Board instead proposes
to amend current Section 212.110,
Measurement Methods,
as a prefered long-term organizational
structure.
Similarly,
the Board repositioned the tests proposed
by the Agency for placement in Section 212.423(f) to Section
212.110.
The Board deleted references
to “fugitive dust”
as this term
is not defined
in Part 211, and instead used the term
“particulate matter”, which
is found in Part
211.
Revisions were
also made to clarify the sections on recordkeeping and
reporting.
The participants are invited to comment on the
affirmative duties
in proposed sections 212.423(e)(2) and
(4) and
212.424(e).
The Board
is interested
in whether these duties can
be summarized and consolidated so that recordkeeping and
reporting responsibilities are readily identified
in a single
section
in Part 212.
The Board notes that Method
202
is currently proposed at
55
FR 41546,
(October 12,
1990).
If Method 202
is adopted by USEPA
prior
to the completion of this proceeding,
the Agency proposes
to adopt
the final version of Method 202, with incorporation by
reference of
40 CFR
51, Appendix M, Method
202.
The Board requests comments on the following language
proposed by the Agency:
1)
The reference
in
Section 212.110(1)
to USEPA’s
continuing,
independent authority.
119—2
26
—3—
2)
The reference
in Section 212.424(b)
to Subpart K of this
Part.
3)
The sentence
in Section 2l2.424(e)(5) which states,
“This report shall include those
times when subsection
(e) of this Section is involved.”
4)
The reference in Section 212.423(a)
to the applicability
of Sections 212.321 and 212.322 and the impact these
sections may have on the requirement of no visible
emissions found
in Section 212.423(c)
5)
The reference in Section 212.423(a) to the applicability
of Section 201.149.

amendments
