REGULATIONS
PROPOSED RULE.
SECOND NOTICE.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D. Dumelle):
On May 11,
1989 the Board, on its own motion, proposed the
above—captioned
rulemaking for First Notice.
The Board held two
hearings
in this matter, one
in Chicago on August 16,
1989 and
the other
in Urbana on August
23,
1989.
As the result of
comments at hearing by the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency
(“Agency”)
and the Illinois Manufacturers Association
(“IMA”), the Board split
this proceeding
into two dockets on
September
13,
1989.
Do~ketA has since been adopted as a final
rule.
Today the Board
is proposing Docket
B,
the repeal of
35
Ill.
Adm. Code Parts
230 and 231
in their entirety,
for Second
Notice.
This docket was adopted by the Board
for First Notice on
December
20,
1990 and published in the Illinois Register on
January
25,
1991 at
0780.
Part
230 constitutes the Board’s New
Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) adopted by peremptory
rulemakings between
1979 and 1987.
Part 231 constitutes the
National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPS) also adopted
by peremptory rulemaking between
1980 and
1987.
Prior
to
1987,
the Board
was
required
to adopt
the NSPS
and NESHAPS provisions
in order
for them to be enforceable
in
Illinois.
However,
in
1987,
Section 9.1
of the Environmental
Protection Act
(Act) was amended to cause the automatic
enforceability of
the NSPS and NESHAPS provisions
in
Illinois.
As
a result,
the Board
is
no longer
required
to formally
adopt
NSPS and NESHAPS provisions
to make
them effective;
the NSPS and
NESHAPS become effective immediately upon their adoption by the
United State Environmental Protection Agency
(“USEPA”).
As new NSPS and NESHAPS are promulgated by tJSEPA and become
enforceable
in Illinois pursuant to Section 9.1 of
the Act,
the
existing regulations may become outdated or even inconsistent
with the
updated standards, causing possible confusion
to the
regulated community.
In repealing these parts,
the Board
stresses that this action
is not intended to and does not cause
any substantive amendment
to
the existing NSPS ~nd NESHAPS
provisions enforceable under Section 9.1
of
the
Act.
121—731
—2—
As the Agency stated in its comments made at hearing, a
problem arises due to the fact that other sections of the Board’s
air regulations reference the NSPS and NESHAPS provisions
proposed
for repeal.
Consequently,
these sections, which are
found within 35
Iii.
Adru. Code Parts
201,
212 and 215, must be
amended to replace reference to Parts
230 and 231 with language
indicating the autoi~aaticenforceability of USEPA NSPS and NESHAPS
regulations through Section
9.1 of the Act.
Specifically,
the
sections of
the Boards regulations which contain cross—references
to NSPS or NESHAPS regulations
in Parts
230 and 231 are as
follows:
201.102
201.401(a) (1) (B) (iii)
201. 401( a) (1) (D)
201.401(b)
212.205
212.443(b) (2) (A)
212.443(b) (2) (B)
212.443(b) (3)
212.443(c) (1) (B)
212.443(c) (2)(A)
212. 443(c)
(
2) (B)
215.123 (a)
(
5)
Three other Sections also containing
references
to Parts
230
and 231 were not included at Second Notice and cannot -be included
here.
Those sections will be corrected
in a separate docket.
This will
in
no way change
the affected sections
or the existing
NSPS and NESHAPS Provisions enforceable under Section
9.1
of the
Act.
So as to avoid confusion in the repealing of Parts
230 and
231 the following language will be added.

A)
No person shall cause or allow the emission of
visible particulate matter from any coke oven
charging operation,
from the introduction of
coal into the first charge port,
as indicated
by the first mechanical movement of
the coal
feeding mecnanism on the larry car,

of the final charge port lid for
more than a total of 125 seconds over
5
consecutive charges; provided however
that
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.
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 nc~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.
12 1—739
—10—
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
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
(0.020

Pushing:

Uncaptured Emissions
A)
Emissions of
fugitive particulate matter
from
pushing operations
shall not exceed an average
of 20
opacity for
4 consecutive pushes
considering the highest average of six
consecutive readings
in each push.
Opacity
readings shall be taken at 15—second
intervals,
beginning from the time the coke
falls into the receiving car
or
is first
visible as
it
emerges from the coke guide
whichever occurs earlier, until
the receiving
car enters
the quencri tower
or quenching
device.
For
a push of
less than 90 seconds
duration,
the actual number
of 15-second
readings shall be averaged.
B)
Opacity readings shall
be taken by a qualified
observer located
in a position where the oven
being pushed,
the coke receiving car and the
path
to the quench tower are visible.
The
opacity shall be read as the emissions
rise
and clear
the top
of the coke battery gas
mains.
The qualified observer shall record
opacity readings of emissions originating at
the receiving car and associated equipment and
the coke oven,
including the standpipe on the
coke side of
the oven being pushed.
Opacity
readings
shall
be
taken

calculations shall be based on the duration of
a push as defined

B)
The opacity of emissions from control
equipment used to control emissions during

d)
Coke Oven Doors:
1)
No person shall cause or allow visible emissions
from more than 10
of all coke oven doors at any
time.

2)
No person shall cause or allow the operation of a
coke oven unless there
is on the plant premises
at
all
times
~an
adequate inventory of spare coke oven
doors and seals and unless there is
a readily
available coke oven door repair facility.
e)
Coke Oven Lids:
No person shall cause or allow visible
emission from more than
5
of all coke oven lids at any
time.
Compliance shall
be determined by a one pass
observation of all coke oven lids.
f)
Coke Oven Offtake Piping:
No person shall cause
or
allow visible emissions from more than 10
of all coke
oven offtake piping at any time.
Compliance shall be
determined by a one pass observation of all coke oven
ofttake piping.
g)
Coke Oven Combustion Stack:
No person shall cause or
allow the emission of particulate matter from
a coke
oven combustion stack
to exceed 110 mg/dscm
(0.05
gr/dscf).
h)
Quenching:
All coke oven quench towers shall
be
equipped with grit arrestors
or equipment
of comparable
effectiveness.
The make—up water shall
not directly
include coke by-product plant effluent.
Total dissolved
solids concentrations
in the make—up water shall
not
exceed 1500 mg/l.
Provided however that the limitations
on the quality of quench make—up water shall not apply
where the operator employs an equivalent method of
control as determined by the Agency.

Work Rules:
No person shall cause or allow the
operation of
a by-product coke plant except
in
