PROPOSED RULE.
SECOND NOTICE.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D.
Durnelle):
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.
Doc~ketA has since been adopted as a final
rule.
Today
the Board
is proposing Docket
B,
the repeal of
35 111.
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 Environmenta
Protection P~qency (“USEPA”).
As new NSPS and NESHAPS are promulgated by USEPA 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existing regulations may become outdated or even inconsistent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.
1n repealing these parts,
the Board
stresses that this action
is not intended to and does
not cause
any substantive amendment
to the existing NSPS and NESHAPS
provisions enforceable under Section 9.1 of the Act.
121—731
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. Adm. Code Parts 201,
212 and 215, must be
amended to replace reference to Parts
230 and 231 with language
indicating the automatic enforceability
of
tJSEPA 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)
2l2.443(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.
PART 230:

Uncaptured Emissions
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,

more than a total

5
consecutive charges; provided however
that

—9--
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 no~ 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
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

1)
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 quench 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 in accordance with the
