TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
SECOND NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD
LSA Document #07-438
DEVELOPMENT OF AMENDMENTS TO RULES CONCERNING COMPLIANCE DETERMINATIONS WITH PARTICULATE MATTER LIMITATIONS FOR CERTAIN FACILITIES SUBJECT TO 326 IAC 6.5 AND 326 IAC 6.8
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has developed draft rule language for amendments to
326 IAC 6.5 and
326 IAC 6.8 concerning the use of alternative methods for the determination of compliance with particulate matter emission limits as well as language clarifying applicability at
326 IAC 6-3-1. By this notice, IDEM is soliciting public comment on the draft rule language. IDEM seeks comment on the affected citations listed and any other provisions of Title 326 that may be affected by this rulemaking.
SUBJECT MATTER AND BASIC PURPOSE OF RULEMAKING
Basic Purpose and Background
The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend
326 IAC 6.5 and
326 IAC 6.8 to allow certain operations subject to particulate matter emission limits to demonstrate compliance with those limits by implementing identified work practices and control technologies.
Provisions in
326 IAC 6.5 establish particulate matter control measures and emission limits for several Indiana counties previously designated as nonattainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter. Particulate matter limits and control requirements in
326 IAC 6.5 apply to facilities located in Clark, Dearborn, Dubois, Howard, Marion, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh, Vigo, and Wayne counties. These control requirements for the listed counties include facility specific particulate matter emission limitations, a general particulate matter emission limit for all facilities, and industry specific particulate matter emission limits for fuel combustion generators, asphalt concrete plants, grain elevators, gray iron foundries, glass container manufacturing furnace operations, and mineral aggregate operations. In
326 IAC 6.5-1-2, a general particulate matter emission limit of 0.07 gram per dry standard cubic meter (g/dscm) (0.03 grain per dry standard cubic foot (dscf)) is established.
Provisions in
326 IAC 6.8 establish similar particulate matter control measures and emission limits for facilities located in Lake County. A general particulate matter emission limit of 0.07 gram per dry standard cubic meter (g/dscm) (0.03 grain per dry standard cubic foot (dscf)) is established in
326 IAC 6.8-1-2.
Operations subject to particulate matter emission limits established in
326 IAC 6.5 and
326 IAC 6.8 must conduct testing consistent with procedures listed in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Methods 1-5, if required to test. Alternative procedures for determining compliance with the limits in
326 IAC 6.5 and
326 IAC 6.8 are permitted but must be jointly approved by the commissioner and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). Provisions in
326 IAC 6.5-1-4 provide testing time frames for newly subject sources unless the commissioner has determined that a performance test is not required.
IDEM is proposing to apply the work practice standards listed in
326 IAC 6-3-2(d) for small scale manufacturing operations, such as surface coating, reinforced plastics composites fabricating manufacturing processes, and graphic arts manufacturing processes to sources in
326 IAC 6.5-1-2 and
326 IAC 6.8-1-2 as a feasible way to demonstrate compliance with particulate matter limitations.
The process weight rate rule at
326 IAC 6-3-1 currently exempts manufacturing processes that are subject to more stringent PM limitations in other rules. IDEM is also proposing to revise
326 IAC 6-3-1 to clarify that the PM limitation in the other rule could be equal in stringency or more stringent to be exempt from
326 IAC 6-3-1. It is not IDEM's intention to require sources to be subject to duplicative standards with similar requirements for surface coating in both
326 IAC 6-3 and
326 IAC 6.5 or
326 IAC 6.8. Sources could be subject to both rules without this amendment.
IC 13-14-9-4 Identification of Restrictions and Requirements Not Imposed under Federal Law
No element of the draft rule imposes either a restriction or a requirement on persons to whom the draft rule applies that is not imposed under federal law. This rulemaking proposes to provide equivalent requirements for a restriction already required by federal law. The emission limits in
326 IAC 6.5 and
326 IAC 6.8 are part of Indiana's state implementation plan that is approved by the U.S. EPA.
There is minimal potential fiscal impact associated with this rulemaking. Affected entities would have already been operating a fabric filter or equivalent control device to show compliance with the existing 0.03 gr/dscf limit in
326 IAC 6.5 or
326 IAC 6.8. Smaller sources subject to
326 IAC 6.5 or
326 IAC 6.8, such as those operating with a minor source operating permit (MSOP) could be required to do burdensome daily inspections for overspray under the current rule due to monitoring requirements in their permit. The proposed amendments allowing surface coating, reinforced plastics composites fabricating manufacturing processes, and graphic arts manufacturing processes of any size to show compliance with the particulate matter limit using work practice standards could result in a potential cost savings.
Public Participation and Workgroup Information
No workgroup is planned for the rulemaking. If you feel that a workgroup or other informal discussion on the rule is appropriate, please contact Susan Bem, Rule and State Implementation Plan Development Section, Office of Air Quality at (317) 233-5697 or (800) 451-6021 (in Indiana).
SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE FIRST COMMENT PERIOD
IDEM requested public comment from July 25, 2007, through August 24, 2007, on alternative ways to achieve the purpose of the rule and suggestions for the development of draft rule language. IDEM received comments from the following parties by the comment period deadline:
Indiana Cast Metals Association (INCMA)
Citizens Thermal Energy (CTE)
Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto:
Comment: Amend the rules to clarify that the 0.03 gr/dscf emission limit only applies to emissions that exit a stack, vent or equivalent opening. It doesn't make sense to apply this limit to fugitive emissions because compliance cannot be demonstrated by a stack test or emission calculation. IDEM has at least informally made this interpretation more or less consistently over the past two years. (INCMA)
Response: The applicability section of this rule does not distinguish between fugitive and non-fugitive emissions. Therefore the limit would apply to both fugitive and non-fugitive emissions from facilities that meet the applicability requirements. IDEM is willing to work with industry to develop work practice standards or other compliance monitoring provisions that will allow a source to ensure compliance with these limits. However, given that IDEM did not receive specific suggestions from industry representatives. IDEM will not be addressing other industries in this rule making. IDEM will continue to work with industry on a case-by-case basis to address this issue.
Comment: At
326 IAC 6.5-6-23, change "IPL Perry K" to "Citizens Thermal Energy – C.C. Perry K Steam Plant" to reflect the current owner and facility name. Remove the fuel designations associated with Boilers 11 through 18. (CTE)
Response: Updates to address these requested changes were addressed in another rulemaking that became effective in 2008 (LSA Document #04-279).

(2) If overspray is visibly detected at the exhaust or accumulates on the ground, the source shall inspect the control device and do either of the following no later than four (4) hours after such observation:
(A) Repair control device so that no overspray is visibly detectable at the exhaust or accumulates on the ground.
(B) Operate equipment so that no overspray is visibly detectable at the exhaust or accumulates on the ground.
If overspray is visibly detected, the source shall maintain a record of the action taken as a result of the inspection, any repairs of the control device, or change in operations, so that overspray is not visibly detected at the exhaust or accumulates on the ground. These records must be maintained for five (5) years.
(3) A source is exempt from subdivision (2) if it operates according to a valid permit under:
(4) Surface coating manufacturing processes that use less than five (5) gallons of coating per day are exempt from the work practice standards in subdivisions (1) and (2). At any time the coating application rate increases to greater than five (5) gallons per day, control devices must be in place. A manufacturing process that is subject to this subsection shall remain subject to it notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in gallons of coating used.
(h) (i) Based on modeling analyses available to the commissioner, where it is determined that the limitations in subsections (a) through (g) are not adequate to achieve and maintain the ambient particulate air quality standards established by
326 IAC 1-3, the limitations set forth in this section may be changed for facilities:
(1) having a significant impact on air quality and located in areas where the ambient particulate standard either is not attained or will not be maintained without emission limitations in addition to those set forth in this section; and
(2) required to comply with the prevention of significant deterioration requirements of
326 IAC 2.
These limitations shall be established in construction and operation permits issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in
326 IAC 2.
(i) (j) If the emission limitations established in subsections (a) through (g) for facilities that were operating or under construction on August 7, 1980, impose a severe economic hardship on any individual source, then the source may petition the commissioner for reconsideration of the limitations. If the source can demonstrate to the commissioner's satisfaction that a severe hardship will be caused if the applicable requirements in this rule are enforced, then less restrictive emission limitations may be established by the commissioner, provided the less restrictive limitations will guarantee the attainment and maintenance of the particulate ambient air quality standards established by
326 IAC 1-3.
