ORDER OF THE BOARD:
(by J.D. Dumelle):
On July
16,
1987,
the
Board adopted
an Order proposing
amendments
to
35 Iii. Adm.
Code 211 and 215 for First Notice.
The proposed amendments were based on an Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency
(Agency) proposal for the adoption of
Subpart
V:
Air Oxidation Processes, which consisted
of proposed Sections
215.490,
215.495, 215.496
and 215.497.
The Board’s July 16,
1987,
Order adopted
the proposal
as such.
It has since come to
the Board’s attention that the assigned section numbers
do
not
correspond
with the
Subpart
V
designation.
To
maintain
alphabetical
and
numerical
order
in
the
Board’s
Air
Pollution
regulations,
the section numbers assigned
to
Section
V
should
begin with Section 215.520
and proceed therefrom.
Therefore,
the
Board takes
its action today to reassign correct section numbers
to Subpart
V.
Proposed Sections 215.490,
215.495,
2l5.1~96and
215.497 shall
now
be numbered Sections
215.520,
215.525, 215.526
and 215.527, respectively.
Also,
the July 16, 1987, Order proposed an amendment of the
definition
of “volatile organic material.”
The Board notes that
a concurrent proceeding, R86-37,
is devoted entirely to the
definition
of
“volatile
organic material.”
The Agency has
indicated
that
in
proceedings
addressing
similar
issues,
it
has
amended
definitions
of
“volatile
organic
material”
not
for
purposes
of
obtaining
several
definitions
of
that
term
but
for
purposes
of
serving
notice
on
all
interested
parties
that
that
definition
is
subject
to
change
in
R86—37.
As
notice
is
the
primary
goal
and
as
the
Board
has
discovered
that the definition
proposed on July 16,
1987,
in R86—40 differs slightly from the
present proposed definition
in R86-37,
the Board believes
it
consistent with the Agency’s intent to modify the definition
proposed
in
this
proceeding
to
read
the
same
as
in
R86-37.
For
purposes
of
clarity
and
convenience,
the
Board
will
set
out the entire proposal
as amended
in the Order below.

volatile
organic material from any process
vent stream unless the

1)
To reduce the volatile organic emissions
vented to
it with an efficiency of at
least ninety-eight
(98)

Methods and procedures
are
identified for two types
of RACT implementation:

mination of VOC destruction efficiency for evaluating compliance
with the 98-weight percent VOC reduction
or
20 ppmv emission
limit specified
in the recommended RACT;
and
(2) determination of
offgas flowrate,
hourly emissions,

for
calculating
a

The
following
reference methods and procedures
are
required
for
determining
the
offgas
flowrate,
hourly
emissions,
and
the
net

value
o~ the
gas
combusted
to
calculate
tEe

Reference Method
1
or

as appropriate, for
selection of the sampling site.
The sampling site
for the vent
stream flowrate and molar composition

in
(b)(2)
and
(3)
shall
be
prior
to the inlet
of any combustion device,
prior
to
any
post—reactor
dilution
of
the
stream
with
air,
and prior
to any post-reactor introduction
of
halogenated compounds into the vent stream.
Sub-
j~ct
to
the
preceding
restrictions
on
the
sampling
site,
it
shall
be
after
the
final
recovery
device.
If any gas stream other than the air oxidation vent
stream is normally conducted through the recovery
system of the affected facility,
such stream shall
be
rerouted or turned off while the vent stream is
sampled,
but shall
be routed normally prior to the
measuring
of the initial value of the monitored
parameter(s)
for determining compliance with the
recommended RACT.
If the air oxidation vent stream
is normally routed through any equi~mentwhich
is
not a part of the air oxidation facility as defined
in Chapter
4,
such equipment shall
be bypassed by
the vent stream while the vent stream is
sampled,
but shall not be bypassed during the measurement of
the initial value
of the monitored parameter(s) fOr
determining compliance with Subpart V.
2)
The molar composition of the vent stream shall
he
determined using the following methods:
A)
Reference Method

all organics,
including those containing
halogens,
unless
a significant portion of the compounds of
80—296

can
polymerize before analysis
or have low vapor
pressures,
in which case Reference Method
25(a)
shall
be
used.
B)

measure
the
concentration of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
