OPINION
AND
ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by E. Dunham):
On June 15,
1994,
the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (Agency) filed this proposal for rulemaking.
Section
182(b) (1)
of the Clean Air Act
(42 USC 7511(b) (1)) requires all
moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas to achieve a 15
reduction in 1990 emissions of volatile organic material
(VON)
by
1996.
The Chicago and the Metro—East St. Louis areas are
classified as severe and moderate nonattainment areas for ozone
and are subject to the 15
reduction requirement.
The proposed
rule represents Part III of the rules proposed in the Agency’s
15
Rate of Progress Plan
(ROP Plan).
Section 182(b) (1) requires
states to submit 15
ROP Plans within three years of the
enactment of the CAA.
Illinois submitted its plan on November
15,
1993.
On January 21,
1994,
the USEPA found the submitted
plan to be incomplete because it was not accompanied by fully
adopted rules.
Illinois is currently on notice that it has 18
months to adopt the necessary rules before sanctions are imposed
under Section 179(a)
of the
CAA
(42 USC §7509(a)).
The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
Environmental Protection Act (Act).
(415 ILCS 5/1 et
seq.
(1992).)
The Board is charged therein to “determine, define,
and
implement the environmental control standards applicable in the
state of Illinois.”
(415 ILCS 5/5(b)
(1992).)
More generally,
the Board’s rulemaking charge is based on the system of checks
and balances integral to the Illinois environmental governance:
the Board bears responsibility for the rulemaking and principal
adjudicatory functions; the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency
(Agency) has primary responsibility for administration of
the Act and the Board’s regulations.
The latter includes
administering today’s new regulation.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
This proposal was filed on June 15,
1994, pursuant to
Section 28.5 of the Act.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5
(1992).)
Pursuant to
the provisions of that section the Board is required to proceed
within the set time frames toward the adoption of the regulation.
The Board has no discretion to adjust these time frames under any
circumstances.
Today the Board acts to send this proposal to
2
second notice under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).
(5 ILCS 100/1005—40
(1992).)
The Board sent this proposal to first notice under the APA
on June 23,
1994, without commenting on the merits of the
proposal.
The proposed rule was published in the Illinois
Register on July 8,
1994,
at
18 Ill. Reg.
10536
(Part 211),
18
Ill.
Reg.
10549
(Part 218) and 18
Ill.
Reg.
10584
(Part. 219)
.
A
hearing was held on August
4,
1994,
in Chicago, Illinois before
Board hearing officer Diane O’Neill.
Previously—scheduled second
and third hearings were cancelled pursuant to Section 28.5(g)
of
the Act because a request for a second hearing was not received
by the Board.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5(g)
(1992).)
The comment period
closed on August 22,
1994.
On September 15,
1994, the Board sent
the proposed amendments to the Joint Committee on Administrative
Rules
(JCAR)
for review as required by the APA.
On October 11,
1994, JCAR voted a certificate of no objection to the rule.
JCAR
recommended minor grammatical and form corrections to the
proposed rules which the Board incorporates into the rule.
PROPOSAL
The geographic areas affected by this proposal are the
Chicago and Metro—East nonattainment areas.
The proposed
amendments to Subpart V increase the Total Resource Effectiveness
(TRE)
index and add a “once in always in” provision.
This
proposal also revises Subpart B (Organic Emissions from Storage
and Loading Operations)
of Parts 218 and 219.
This revision is
similar to the draft Control Techniques Guideline
(CTG)
and
Alternative Control Technology
(ACT)
documents issued by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The proposal adds
the definitions of “fill” and “maximum true vapor pressure” to
Part 211.
The proposal also adds the definition for “opacity” to
Part 211 from Part 240.
The proposal amends the air oxidation rules.
The control
requirements apply to any air oxidation process with a TRE index
of 6.0 or less.
The Agency has identifled
5 potentially affected
sources in the Chicago area.
No air oxidation sources were found
in the Metro-East area.
The proposal requires each affected owner or operator to
reduce the VON emissions vented by at least 98
by weight or to
emit VOM at a concentration of less than 20 parts per million by
volume, dry basis.
The proposal also adds language which
requires continued control even if a change in operations results
in a TRE index that is above that which initially made the
regulation applicable.
Similarly phthalic anhydride air
oxidation processes must maintain a control level of 90
or the
equivalent of
50 ppmv, dry basis, until either the existing
combustion device is considered to be replaced or December 31,
1999, whichever comes first.
3
The proposal affects owners or operators of VOL storage
facilities
in the Chicago and Metro—East nonattainment area who
store VOL with
a maximum true vapor pressure of 0.050 psia or
greater but less than 11.1 psia in any tank reservoir,
or other
such container of more than 151 cubic meters
(40,000 gal.)
The proposal requires each owner or operator of an organic
liquid storage tank with a capacity of 40,000 gallons or more and
a vapor pressure of 0.75 psia or greater but not exceeding 11.1
psia to install control systems.
The control measures are
specified according to the type of roof on the vessel containing
the liquid.
Owners or operators of organic liquid storage tanks
with a vapor pressure of 0.50 psia or greater but less than 11.1
psia are required to maintain certain operational records for
storage of VOL with a vapor pressure exceeding 0.75 psia to test
and monitor operations at the storage tank.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
The Board received four public comments during the public
comment period.
Comments were submitted by the Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs
(DCCA)
(PC #1), the Illinois
Environmental Regulatory Group
(IERG)
(PC #2), the Agency
(PC #3)
and the Administrative Code Division of the Secretary of State
(PC #4).
The Board has considered all public comments,
as well as all
testimony and exhibits,
in making its decisions in this matter.
In general, there is no disagreement on the part of the
participants and commenters on the substance of the proposal.
A
discussion of the public comments is contained in the Board’s
second notice opinion and order of September 15,
1994.
CONCLUSION
The Board finds that the proposed rules are technically
feasible and economically reasonable,
and that the rules are
necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
We find
that the record supports adoption of the rules as amended.
ORDER
The Board hereby proposes the following amendments to 35
Ill.
Adm. Code 211,
218 and 219.
The Board directs the Clerk to
submit the following adopted amendments to the Administrative
Code Division of the Secretary of State.’

using the following methods:
1)
Reference Method 18 to measure the concentration of all
organics, including those containing halogens, unless a
significant portion of the compounds of interest are
polymeric (high molecular weight), can polymerize
before analysis or have low vapor pressures,
in which
case Reference Method 25(a)
shall be used.
2)
ASTN D1946-67
(reapproved 1977),
incorporated by
reference in Section 215.105 218.112 of this Part, to
measure the concentration of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen.

H=K
E
CiHi
i=1
Where:
H
=
Net heating value of the sample,
NJ/scm, where the
net enthalpy per mole of offgas
is based on
combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm Hg, but the standard
temperature for determining the volume
corresponding to one mole is 20°C,as in the
definition of F (vent stream flowrate) below.

218.112 of this Part.
Hi
=
Net heat of combustion of sample component i,
kcal/mole based on combustion at 25°Cand 760
nuii
Hg.
If published values are not available or
cannot be calculated, the heats of combustion of
vent stream components are required to be
determined using ASTM D2382-76,
incorporated by
reference in Section 215.105 218.112 of this Part.
e)
The emission rate of total organic compounds in the process
vent stream shall be calculated using the following
equation:
n
E=K
F
E
CiMi
i=1
Where:
E
=
Emission rate of total organic compounds (minus
methane and ethane)
in the sample in kg/hr;
K
=
Constant 2.494 x l0~(1/ppm)
(mole/scm)
(kg/g)
(min/hr), where standard temperature for
(mole/scm)
is 20°C;
28
Mi
=
Molecular weight of sample component
i (g/mole);
F
=
Vent stream flowrate (scm/mm), at a standard
temperature of 20°C.
f)
The total vent stream concentration (by volume)

Section 219.Appendix C
Reference Test Methods For Air Oxidation Procc~oc~an
Introduction
This Appendix presents the reference methods and procedures
required for implementing Reasonably Available Control Technology
(RACT).
Methods and procedures are identified for two types of
PACT
implementation:
a)
Determination of VON destruction efficiency for evaluating
compliance with the 98 weight percent VON reduction or 20
ppmv emission limit specified in Sections 215.520 219.520
through 215.527 219.527 of this Part and
b)
Determination of offgas flowrate, hourly emissions and
stream net heating value for calculating TRE.
All reference methods identified in this Appendix refer to the
reference methods specified at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this
49
Part.
VON DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY DETERMINATION
The following reference methods and procedures are required for
determining compliance with the percent destruction efficiency
specified in Sections 215.520 219.520 through 215.527
219.527 of
this Part.
a)
Reference Method
1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
The control device inlet sampling site for determination of
vent stream molar composition or total organic compound
destruction efficiency shall be prior to the inlet of any
control device and after all recovery devices.
b)
Reference Methods
2,
2A,
2C or 2D for determination of the
volumetric flowrate.
c)
Reference Method
3
to measure oxygen concentration of the
air dilution correction.
The emission sample shall be
corrected to
3 percent oxygen.
d)
Reference Method 25
(a) to determine the concentration of
total organic compounds (minus methane and ethane)
in the
control device outlet and total organic compound reduction
efficiency of the control device.
TRE DETERMINATION
The following reference methods and procedures are required for
determining the offgas flowrate, hourly emissions, and the net
heating value of the gas combusted to calculate the vent stream
TRE.
a)
Reference Method
1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
The sampling site for the vent stream flowrate and molar
composition determination prescribed in
(b) and
(c)
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.
Subject 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 parameters for determining compliance with
the recommended
PACT.
If the air oxidation vent stream is
normally routed through any equipment which is not a part of
the air oxidation process as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
211.122
211.350, 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
50
the monitored parameters for determining compliance with
Subpart V.
b)
The molar composition of the vent stream shall be determined
using the following methods:
1)
Reference Method 18 to measure the concentration of all
organics,
including those containing halogens, unless a
significant portion of the compounds of interest are
polymeric (high molecular weight), can polymerize
before analysis or have low vapor pressures,
in which
case Reference Method 25(a)
shall be used.
2)
ASTM D1946—67
(reapproved 1977),
incorporated by
reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this Part, to
measure the concentration of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen.
3)
Reference Method
4 to measure the content of water
vapor,
if necessary.
c)
The volumetric flowrate shall be determined using Reference
Method
2,
2A,
2C or 2D,
as appropriate.
d)
The net heating value of the vent stream shall be calculated
using the following equation:
n
H
=
K
E
CiHi
i=l
Where:
H
=
Net heating value of the sample, MJ/scm, where the
net enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on
combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm Hg, but the standard
temperature for determining the volume
corresponding to one mole is 20°C,as
in the
definition of F
(vent stream flowrate) below.
K
=
Constant,
1.740 x 10~~(1/ppm)
(mole/scm)
(MJ/kcal)
where standard temperature for mole/scm is 20°C.
Ci
=
Concentration of sample component i, reported on a
wet basis,
in ppm,
as measured by Reference Method
18 or ASTM D1946—67
(reapproved 1977),
incorporated by reference in Section 215.105
219.112 of this Part.
Hi
=
Net heat of combustion of sample component i,
kcal/mole based on combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm
Hg.
If published values are not available or
cannot be calculated, the heats of combustion of
vent stream components are required to be
determined using ASTM D2382-76, incorporated by
51
reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this Part.
e)
The emission rate of total organic compounds in the process
vent stream shall be calculated using the following
equation:
n
E=K
F
E
CiMi
i=1
Where:
E
=
Emission rate of total organic compounds (minus
methane
and
ethane)
in
the
sample
in
kg/hr;
K
=
Constant
2.494
x
lO~ (1/ppm)
(mole/scm)
(kg/g)
(inirz/hr),
where
standard
temperature
for
(mole/scm)
is 20°C;
Mi
=
Molecular weight of sample component
i
(g/mole);
F
=
Vent stream flowrate (scm/mm), at a standard
temperature of 20°C.
f)
The total vent stream concentration
(by volume) of compounds
containing halogens
(ppmv, by compound)
shall be summed from
the
individual
concentrations
of
compounds
containing
halogens
which
were
measured
by
Reference
Method
18.
