6.0 EMISSION REDUCTION MARKET SYSTEM (ERMS)

> 6.1 Description of ERMS
>
> The ERMS is a "cap and trade" market system for major stationary
> sources located in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. It is
> designed to reduce VOM emissions from stationary sources to contribute
> to further reasonable progress toward attainment, as required by
> Section 182(c) of the Clean Air Act.
>
> The ERMS addresses VOM emissions during a seasonal allotment period
> from May 1 through September 30. Once the ERMS begins, participating
> sources must hold "allotment trading units" (ATUs) for their actual
> seasonal VOM emissions. Each year participating sources are issued
> ATUs based on allotments set during initial issuance of the sources'
> CAAPP permits. These allotments are established from historical VOM
> emissions or "baseline emissions" lowered to provide the emission
> reduction from stationary sources required for further progress.
>
> By December 31 of each year, the end of the reconciliation period
> following the seasonal allotment period, each source shall have
> sufficient ATUs in its account to cover its actual VOM emissions
> during the preceding season. An account's balance as of December 31
> will include any valid ATU transfer agreements entered into as of
> December 31 of the given year, provided such agreements are promptly
> submitted to the Illinois EPA for entry into the account database. The
> Illinois EPA will then retire ATUs in sources' accounts in amounts
> equivalent to their seasonal emissions. When a source does not appear
> to have sufficient ATUs in its account, the Illinois EPA will issue a
> notice to the source to begin the process for Emissions Excursion
> Compensation.
>
> In addition to receiving ATUs pursuant to their allotments,
> participating sources may also obtain ATUs from the market, including
> ATUs bought from other participating sources and general participants
> in the ERMS that hold ATUs (35 IAC 205.630) and ATUs issued by the
> Illinois EPA as a consequence of VOM emission reductions from an
> Emission Reduction Generator or an Intersector Transaction (35 IAC
> 205.500 and 205.510). During the reconciliation period, sources may
> also buy ATUs from a secondary reserve of ATUs managed by the Illinois
> EPA, the Alternative Compliance Market Account (35 IAC 205.710).
> Sources may also transfer or sell the ATUs that they hold to other
> sources or participants (35 IAC 205.630).
>
> 6.2 Applicability
>
> This source is considered a "participating source" for purposes of the
> ERMS, 35 IAC Part 205.
>
> 6.3 Obligation to Hold Allotment Trading Units (ATUs)
>
> a\. Pursuant to 35 IAC 205.150(c)(1) and 205.720, and as further
> addressed by condition 6.8, as of December 31 of each year, this
> source shall hold ATUs in its account in an amount not less than its
> VOM emissions during the preceding seasonal allotment period (May 1 -
> September 30) not including VOM emissions from the following, or the
> source shall be subject to "emissions excursion compensation," as
> described in Condition 6.4.
>
> i\. VOM emissions from insignificant units and activities as
> identified in Section 3 of this permit, in accordance with 35 IAC
> 205.220;
>
> ii\. Excess VOM emissions associated with startup, malfunction or
> breakdown of an emission unit as authorized elsewhere in this permit,
> in accordance with 35 IAC 205.225;
>
> iii\. Excess VOM emissions to the extent allowed by a Variance,
> Consent Order, or Compliance Schedule, in accordance with 35 IAC
> 205.320(e)(3);
>
> iv\. Excess VOM emissions that are a consequence of an emergency as
> approved by the Illinois EPA, pursuant to 35 IAC 205.750; and
>
> v\. VOM emissions from certain new and modified emission units as
> addressed by Section 6.7(b), if applicable, in accordance with 35 IAC
> 205.320(f).
>
> b\. Notwithstanding the above condition, in accordance with 35 IAC
> 205.150(c)(2), if a source commences operation of a major
> modification, pursuant to 35 IAC Part 203, the source shall hold ATUs
> in an amount not less than 1.3 times its VOM emissions attributable to
> such major modification during the seasonal allotment period,
> determined in accordance with the construction permit for such major
> modification or applicable provisions in Section 7.0 of this permit.
>
> 6.4 Market Transaction
>
> a\. The source shall apply to the Illinois EPA for and obtain
> authorization for a Transaction Account prior to conducting any market
> transactions, as specified at 35 IAC 205.610(a).
>
> b\. The Permittee shall promptly submit to the Illinois EPA any
> revisions to the information submitted for its Transaction Account,
> pursuant to 35 IAC 205.610(b).
>
> c\. The source shall have at least one account officer designated for
> its Transaction Account, pursuant to 35 IAC 205.620(a).
>
> d\. Any transfer of ATUs to or from the source from another source or
> general participant must be authorized by a qualified Account Officer
> designated by the source and approved by the Illinois EPA in
> accordance with 35 IAC 205.620 and the transfer must be submitted to
> the Illinois EPA for entry into the Transaction Account database.
>
> 6.5 Emission Excursion Compensation
>
> Pursuant to 35 IAC 205.720, if the source fails to hold ATUs in
> accordance with Condition 6.3, it shall provide emissions excursion
> compensation in accordance with the following:
>
> a\. Upon receipt of an Excursion Compensation Notice issued by the
> Illinois EPA, the source shall purchase ATUs from the ACMA in the
> amount specified by notice, as follows:
>
> i\. The purchase of ATUs shall be in an amount equivalent to 1.2 times
> the emissions excursion; or
>
> ii\. If the source had an emissions excursion for the seasonal
> allotment period immediately before the period for the present
> emission excursion, the source shall purchase ATUs in an amount
> equivalent to 1.5 times the emissions excursion.
>
> b\. If requested in accordance with paragraph (c) below or in the
> event that the ACMA balance is not adequate to cover the total
> emissions excursion amount, the Illinois EPA will deduct ATUs
> equivalent to the specified amount or any remaining portion thereof
> from the ATUs to be issued to the source for the next seasonal
> allotment period.
>
> c\. Pursuant to 35 IAC 205.720(c), within 15 days of receipt of an
> Excursion Compensation Notice, the owner or operator may request that
> ATUs equivalent to the amount specified be deducted from the source's
> next seasonal allotment by the Illinois EPA, rather than purchased
> from the ACMA.
>
> 6.6 Quantification of Seasonal VOM Emissions
>
> a\. The methods and procedures specified in Section 5 and 7 of this
> permit for determining VOM emissions and compliance with VOM emission
> limitations shall be used for determining seasonal VOM emissions for
> purposes of the ERMS, with the following exceptions \[35 IAC
> 205.315(b)\]:
>
> No exceptions
>
> b\. The Permittee shall report emergency conditions at the source to
> the Illinois EPA in accordance with 35 IAC 205.750, if the Permittee
> intends to deduct VOM emissions in excess of the technology-based
> emission rates normally achieved that are attributable to the
> emergency from the source's seasonal VOM emissions for purposes of the
> ERMS. These reports shall include the information specified by 35 IAC
> 205.650(a), and shall be submitted in accordance with the following:
>
> i\. An initial emergency condition report within two days of the time
> when such excess emissions occurred due to the emergency; and
>
> ii\. A final emergency condition report, if needed to supplement the
> initial report, within 10 days after the conclusion of the emergency.
>
> 6.7 Annual Account Reporting
>
> a\. For each year in which the source is operational, the Permittee
> shall submit, as a component of its Annual Emission Report, seasonal
> VOM emission information to the Illinois EPA for the seasonal
> allotment period. This report shall include the following information
> \[35 IAC 205.300\]:
>
> i\. Actual seasonal emissions of VOM from the source;
>
> ii\. A description of the methods and practices used to determine VOM
> emissions, as required by this permit, including any supporting
> documentation and calculations;
>
> iii\. A detailed description of any monitoring methods that differ
> from the methods specified in this permit, as provided in Section
> 205.337 of this Subpart;
>
> iv\. If a source has experienced an emergency, as provided in 35 IAC
> 205.750, the report shall reference the associated emergency
> conditions report that has been approved by the Illinois EPA;
>
> v\. If a source's baseline emissions have been adjusted due to a
> variance, consent order or CAAPP permit compliance schedule, as
> provided for in 35 IAC 205.320(e)(3), the report shall provide
> documentation quantifying the excess VOM emissions during the season
> that were allowed by the Variance, Consent Order, or Compliance
> Schedule, in accordance with 35 IAC 205.320(e)(3); and
>
> vi\. If a source is operating a new or modified emission unit for
> which three years of operational data are not yet available, as
> specified in 35 IAC 205.320(f), the report shall specify seasonal VOM
> emissions attributable to the new emission unit or the modification of
> the emission unit.
>
> b\. This report shall be submitted by November 30 of each year, for
> the preceding seasonal allotment period.
>
> 6.8 Allotment of ATUs to the Source
>
> a\. i. The allotment of ATUs to this source is 148 ATUs per seasonal
> allotment period.
>
> ii\. This allotment of ATUs reflects the Illinois EPA\'s determination
> that the source\'s baseline emissions were 16.7055 tons.
>
> iii\. The source\'s allotment reflects 88% of the baseline emissions
> (12% reduction) except for the VOM emissions from specific emission
> unit excluded from such reduction, pursuant to 35 IAC 205.405
> including units complying with MACT or using BAT, as identified in
> Section 7 of this permit.
>
> iv\. ATUs will be issued to the source\'s Transaction Account by the
> Illinois EPA annually. These ATUs will be valid for the seasonal
> allotment period following issuance and, if not retired in this
> season, the next seasonal allotment period.
>
> v\. Condition 6.3(a) becomes effective beginning in the seasonal
> allotment period following the initial issuance of ATUs by the
> Illinois EPA into the Transaction Account for the source.
>
> b\. Contingent Allotments for New or Modified Emission Units
>
> Not applicable.
>
> c\. Notwithstanding the above, part or all of the above ATUs will not

Compliance with the emission limits shall be based on the recordkeeping
requirements in Condition 7.1.9 and the emission factors and formulas
listed below:

a.  For the purpose of estimating VOM emissions from the module gelcoat
    booth, accessory gelcoat booth, tooling gelcoat booth, module
    primary and secondary chop booths, accessory chop booth and tooling
    chop booth the following air emission factors should be used:

> (weight % of starting monomer emitted)
>
> Gelcoat booths = 35% of starting monomer emitted
>
> Chop booths = 9% of starting monomer emitted
>
> These are emission factors for uncontrolled polyester resin product
> fabrication processes, Table 4.4-2,
>
> AP-42, Volume I, Supplement F, September, 1988.
>
> Example calculation:
>
> i\. Polyester gelcoat usage = 1440 lb/hr
>
> Monomer content = 45% Gelcoat factor = 35%

National Fiber Glass Products is located at 5 Greenwood Avenue,
Romeoville in Will County. The source conducts operation for the
production of plastic plumbing fixtures. The plant manufactures
bath/shower modules, whirlpool baths, related accessories and tooling
from unsaturated polyester resin and glass fiber reinforcements by the
contact molding method. The fundamental process is the conversion of
liquid resins and glass fiber into durable goods.

III\. EMISSIONS

> This source is required to have a CAAPP permit since it is a major
> source of emissions. The proposed permit limits the maximum annual
> emissions from significant emission units at the source. Insignificant
> activities at this source are not accounted for in the source limit.
>
> For purposes of fees, the source is allowed the following emissions:

[Permitted Emissions of Regulated Pollutants]{.underline}

  ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------
  Pollutant                                      Tons/Year

  Volatile Organic Material (VOM)                170.1

  Sulfur Dioxide (SO~2~)                         

  Particulate Matter (PM)                        7.89

  Nitrogen Oxides (NO~x~)                        

  HAP, not included in VOM or PM

  ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------

IV\. APPLICABLE EMISSION STANDARDS

> All emission sources in Illinois must comply with the Illinois
> Pollution Control Board's emission standards. The Board\'s emission
> standards represent the basic requirements for sources in Illinois.
>
> All emission sources in Illinois must comply with the federal New
> Source Performance Standards (NSPS). The Illinois EPA is administering
> NSPS in Illinois on behalf of the United States EPA under a delegation
> agreement.
>
> All emission sources in Illinois must comply with the federal National
> Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The Illinois
> EPA is administering NESHAP in Illinois on behalf of the United States
> EPA under a delegation agreement.

V. PROPOSED PERMIT

> A CAAPP permit contains conditions listing the applicable state and
> federal air pollution control regulations that apply to a source. The
> permit conditions also establish emission limits and appropriate
> compliance procedures. The appropriate compliance procedures may
> include inspections, work practices, monitoring, record keeping, and
> reporting to show compliance with these requirements. The Permittee
> must carry out these procedures on an on-going basis to demonstrate
> that the source is operating in accordance with the requirements of
> the permit.
>
> Page 3
>
> Because this source is located in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area
> and emits volatile organic material, the permit includes conditions to
> implement the Emission Reduction Market System (ERMS). The ERMS is a
> market-based program designed to reduce emissions from stationary
> sources to contribute to further reasonable progress toward
> attainment, as further described in section 6 of the permit. The
> permit contains the Illinois EPA's determination of the source's
> baseline emissions and allotment of trading units under the ERMS. The
> permit also provides that the source must begin to operate under the
> ERMS following the initial issuance of trading units to the source.
> This will occur for the 2000 seasonal allotment period (rather than
> the 1999 season as originally intended by the ERMS) due in part to
> delays in the initial issuance of CAAPP Permits. These delays, which
> have occurred nationally, are attributable to a variety of causes
> including the unforeseen complexity of processing these permits and
> gaps in national guidance. Even though operation under the ERMS will
> not officially start until the 2000 seasonal allotment period,
> detailed recordkeeping and reporting of seasonal emissions was
> required beginning in 1998, which will document emission reductions
> achieved by sources in 1999 in preparation for the ERMS.

VI\. REQUEST FOR COMMENTS

> It is the Illinois EPA\'s preliminary determination that this source's
> permit application meets the standards for issuance of a CAAPP permit.
> The Illinois EPA is therefore proposing to issue a CAAPP permit,
> subject to the conditions proposed in the draft permit.
>
> Comments are requested on this proposed action by the Illinois EPA and
> the proposed conditions on the draft permit. If substantial public
> interest is shown in this matter, the Illinois EPA will consider
> holding a public hearing in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part
> 164.
