b.
Rule 203(b)
of the Air Pollution Control
Regulations:
with
respect to the kiln and cooler stacks.
c.
Rule 203(f)
of the Air Pollution Control
Regulations:
with
respect to the material handling systems
of said kilns,
Consistent with the Boards prior order,
Petitioner shut down
kiln
I
on January 24,
1973 in order
to begin backfitting,
Petitioner
has determined
that its
original proposal
to redesign the settling chamber
is not feasible.
Petitioner is now
in the process
of installing a baghouse
on kiln
1
as
an alternate means of achieving compliance.
The total cost
of the installation will be approximately $1,500,000.
The Agency estimates
that the efficiency of the baghouse being installed will
be 99.7
-
adequate
to bring kiln
1
into
compliance.
Petitioner
has
purchased
a
spray
truck
and
has
completed
latex
spraying
of
all
inactive
stockpiles.
Petitioner
also
is
continuing
to
periodically spray all
open or working piles with water.
The emission rate for particulates from kiln
I was 235 lbs/hr compared
to
an allowable rate of 15 lbs/hr.
The Agency estimates the emissions
from kilns
2,3, and 4 to be of the same order,
Petitioner~sfacility
is
located in
a heavy industiral
area.
Citizens living or working
in the
vicinity
of
the facility
who
were
contacted
by
the
Agency
personnel
voiced
no
objections
to
the
extension
of
Petitioner~s variance.
Considering
the
lack
of
citizen
complaints,
the
Agency
believes
that
denial
of
the
variance
extension
would
be
unreasonable
for
the
following
reasons:
a.
Petitioner has complied with all
conditions
of
the
original
variance.
b.
Petitioner
is
spending
$l,5’OO,OOO
on
control
equipment
for
kiln
I.
c.
While kiln
1
is shutdown
for
backfitting,
Petitioner
is being
limited to appro~imately50
of
its calcining capacity.
d.
Delays to date have been the result of unforeseen problems
in
modifying
the settling charnber~and the decision to install
a baghouse.
Although we are concerned by the magnitude of Petitioner~semissions,
we are convinced by
the
factors set out above that the requested extension
is appropriate.
The extension will
be granted,
subject to conditions.
Petitioner
is admonished to adher strictly to those conditions.
This
Opinion
constitutes
the
findings
of
fact
and
conclusions
of
law
of
the
Board.
—3—
IT IS THE ORDER of the Pollution Control Board that Petitioner~s
original
variance be extended to May 249
1975 as
it applies
to kilns
2,3,
and
4, subject
to the following conditions:
a.
Kilns
2,3, and 4 must be shut down for backfitting or
phase out no later than May 24,
1975.
b.
During the period of the variance, Petitioner may not
increase emissions over current levels.
c.
Petitioner shall apply for all
necessary permits
from the
Agency.
d.
Petitioner shall continue to submit monthly reports
to
the Agency detailing all
progress made toward eventual
compliance
as well
as
all maintenance procedures emp1oy~d~
Said reports shall
be sent to:
Environmental
Protection Agency
Division of Air Pollution Control
Control Program Coordinator
2200 Churchill Road
Springfield,
Illinois
62706
e.
Petitioner shall
keep its performance bond in effect~
