concerning fugitive dust control, and 

326 IAC 7-4-14, concerning removal of the S02 • 

13 blast furnace gas flare limit. 

14 Due to additional changes after 

15 preliminary adoption of the rule that I believe 

16 was in October 2007, the amended rule was 

17 published for an additional comment period, 

18 according to the Board's direction at the April 

19 Board meeting.

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING 

On April1, 2009, the Air Pollution Control Board (board) conducted the second public hearing/board meeting 

concerning the development of amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 and 326 lAC 7-4-14. Comments were made by the 

following parties: 

Janet McCabe, Improving Kids Environment (IKE) 

Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comments: It is hard to tell what are the additional changes to the proposed rule. To the extent that the 

department acknowledges that the changes are not a logical outgrowth, it suggests that the changes are 

significant. The fact sheet says that the changes allow greater flexibility but does not provide additional 

explanation of the changes. I do agree with the overall approach of the rulemaking, where it is better to have a 

company submit a plan for approval to control fugitive dust rather than spelling out every detail in the rule, which 

is how the rule was originally written. 

However, I do have some questions about some of the changes the department is suggesting. The new 

Date: Jun 09,2009 3:18:33PM EDT DIN: 20090513-IR-326070088PRA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

proposed rule presented today changes the definition of open aggregate pile. In the original rule (first proposed 

rule) the definition included a variety of different types of materials. In the proposed rule before the board today, it 

is just limited to coal. I am curious why the other materials are no longer included in the fugitive dust control plan? 

The proposed rule also seems to limit the types of locations of the plant that will be covered by the fugitive 

dust control plan to coal piles and paved and unpaved roads. The previous proposed rule included areas around 

piles, parking lots, areas where material is transferred or conveyed from one place to another, which is an area 

where fugitive dust could be generated. I would like to know why these areas are no longer to be covered by the 

fugitive dust control plan? 

It appears that steel mills often have contractors, separate from the steel mill itself, that work and conduct 

various operations on their property. In the proposed rule it does not appear that the areas for which the 

contractors are responsible are covered in the fugitive dust control plan, is that correct? 

I look forward to hearing from the department and discussing the changes in the proposed rule and what the 

impact will be on the creation or reduction of fugitive dust on the property. (IKE) 

Response: The company, currently known as ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor LLC (ArcelorMittal}, requested that 

IDEM amend the rule 326 lAC 6-6-5, Bethlehem Steel Corporation fugitive dust control strategy. This rule was 

originally developed in 1988 as a nontraditional fugitive dust control plan for the faciljty. The existing rule language 

at 326 lAC 6-6-5 contains explicit prescriptive measures to control fugitive dust at the facility for paved roads, 

unpaved roads, and low volatile coal storage piles. ArcelorMittal requested the rule change because the specific 

control measures required by the rule were no longer the most efficient or effective methods for controlling the 

fugitive emissions from the roadways and coal piles at the facility. ArcelorMittal wanted to implement more 

efficient dust control practices for the fugitive dust emission points in the existing rule (paved roads, unpaved 

roads, and coal piles) while providing the opportunity for flexibility in the future by removing the prescriptive 

language in 326 lAC 6-6-5 and submitting to IDEM a fugitive dust control plan modeled after the requirements for 

fugitive dust control plans in 326 lAC 6-5. 

The draft rule language in the Second Notice of Comment Period was a full text incorporation of nearly all the 

language for fugitive dust control plans from 326 lAC 6-5. Following preliminary adoption of the draft rule at an Air 

Pollution Control Board hearing on October 31, 2007, ArcelorMittal requested that IDEM amend the proposed rule 

language. ArcelorMittal objected to the inclusion of emission points and control measures for which they are not 

responsible under the existing 326 lAC 6-6-5. ArcelorMittal is not required to control fugitive dust from all the 

emission points that were listed in the previous proposed rule (piles, parking lots, areas where material is 

transferred or conveyed from one place to another, etc) and ArcelorMittal is not subject to the applicability of 326 

lAC 6-5. ArcelorMittal is not responsible for those areas in the existing rule and any rule amendments should not 

enlarge ArcelorMittal's responsibilities for providing fugitive dust control for those areas. Following ArcelorMittal's 

clarification of their request for amendments to the proposed rule language, IDEM amended the proposed rule to 

ensure that the scope of the proposed rule language at 326 lAC 6-6-5 is consistent with the existing rule language 

at 326 lAC 6-6-5. 

The following changes were made to the original proposed rule to ensure that the scope of ArcelorMittal's 

fugitive dust control plan does not enlarge ArcelorMittal's existing requirements to control fugitive dust from paved 

roads, unpaved roads and coal piles: 

1. Amended the definition of open aggregate pile to include only coal because ArcelorMittal is not responsible 

under the existing rule for the additional materials (slag, sand, gravel, and stone). 

2. Removed from subsection (c) and (d) all emission points and control measures except those for which 

ArcelorMittal is currently required to control under the existing rule at 326 lAC 6-6-5. 

IDEM is not requiring ArcelorMittal to expand their fugitive particulate matter control plan to include those areas 

on their property that contractors currently manage. ArcelorMittal is not responsible for controlling fugitive dust 

from those areas under the existing rule language and is not required to control those areas under the revised 

326 lAC 6-6-5 rule language. IDEM is not expanding the scope of ArcelorMittal's fugitive dust control 

responsibilities in this rulemaking. 

The portion of the rulemaking dealing with fugitive dust is simply amending the process in which ArcelorMittal 

may request changes to their existing fugitive dust control responsibilities. The amendments will permit 

ArcelorMittal to submit a plan for controlling fugitive dust for IDEM approval that is no less stringent than their 

existing requirements. The existing language in 326 lAC 6-6-5 does not allow ArcelorMittal to update or modify 

their fugitive dust control strategy without completing an amendment to the rule language. The amendments to 

326 lAC 6-6-5 allow ArcelorMittal to submit for review and approval to the department a fugitive dust control plan 

for the paved roads, unpaved roads, and coal piles, rather than have the prescribed measures for controlling 

fugitive dust from those areas stated explicitly in the rule language. 

This rulemaking should provide ArcelorMittal with the flexibility that they requested. This rulemaking is neither 

a relaxation nor a strengthening of ArcelorMittal's fugitive dust control requirements under 326 lAC 6-6-5. IDEM 

does not expect any additional fugitive dust emissions from the ArcelorMittal facility as a result of these changes 

to the proposed rule. This rulemaking is amending the rule language to provide ArcelorMittal the opportunity to 

submit a fugitive dust control plan rather than have a prescribed fugitive dust control strategy explicitly stated in

Proposed Rule 

LSA Document #07-88 

DIGEST 

Amends 326 lAC 6-6-5 and 326 lAC 7-4-14 concerning operations at ISG Burns Harbor LLC. Effective 30 

days after filing with the Publisher. 

HISTORY 

First Notice: February 21, 2007, Indiana Register {DIN: 20070221-IR-326070088FNA). 

Second Notice: August 8, 2007, Indiana Register {DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088SNA). 

Notice of First Hearing: August 8, 2007, Indiana Register {DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088PHA). 

Date of First Hearing: October 3, 2007. 

PUBLIC COMMENTS UNDER IC 13-14-9-4.5 

IC 13-14-9-4.5 states that a board may not adopt a rule under IC 13-14-9 that is substantively different from 

the draft rule published under IC 13-14-9-4 until the board has conducted a third comment period that is at least 

21 days long. 

Because this proposed rule is not substantively different from the draft rule published on August 8, 2007, at 

DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088SNA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management {IDEM) is not 

requesting additional comment on this proposed rule. 

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD 

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management {IDEM) requested public comment from August 8, 

2007, through September 7, 2007, on IDEM's draft rule language. IDEM received comments from the following 

party: 

ISG Burns Harbor LLC {ISG) 

Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comment: We support the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 "Bethlehem Steel Corporation fugitive dust 

control strategy". The amended rule will allow more flexibility to employ improved technologies on a schedule 

based on actual plant operations. The amount of paved and unpaved roads and their configurations have 

changed over the last 20 years, so that the map and mileage requirements of 326 lAC 6-6-5 are no longer 

accurate. {ISG) ) 

Response: IDEM agrees that the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 will provide more efficient use of 

resources and provide equivalent or improved fugitive particulate matter emission control. IDEM believes that the 

section of the draft rule amending 326 lAC 6-6-5 provides thorough guidance on how to address the potential 

fugitive particulate matter emissions, and that the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 will result in a plan that is 

easier to modify as new technologies or business practices are introduced, and will also result in more efficient 

and less costly fugitive particulate matter control strategies. 

Comment: We suggest that "Bethlehem Steel Corporation" and "Bethlehem" be deleted and replaced 

throughout 326 lAC 6-6-5 with "ISG Burns Harbor LLC". {ISG) 

Response: IDEM agrees, and has proposed the appropriate changes in this rulemaking. 

Comment: We support the draft amendment to 326 lAC 7-4-14 removing the S02 emission limit for the blast 

furnace gas flare. Removing the SO emission limit for the blast furnace gas flare will mcrease regulatory 

consistency, result in no increase in lhe actual emissions of S02 and no operational changes at ISG Burns Harbor 

LLC, result in no impact on modeled emissions, and will eliminate an outdated standard. {ISG) 

Comment: There is no S02 emission limit for the blast furnace gas flare at U.S. Steel Gary Works m 

neighboring Lake County. Air quality modeling conducted for U.S. Steel Gary Works accounted for the use of 

more blast furnace gas in the other combustion units than could be produced. IDEM agreed that including the 

blast furnace flares in the Lake County S02 attainment demonstration model was not appropriate when all 

potentially available blast furnace gas is accounted for in modeled emissions from other combustion units. 

Because ISG Burns Harbor's system for blast furnace gas combustion is identical to that used by Gary Works, the 

S02 emission limit for the 326 lAC 7-4-14 blast furnace gas flare can be eliminated without affecting Porter 

County's demonstrated SO NAAQS attainment. {ISG) 

Comment: IDEM shouRJ eliminate the 326 lAC 7-4-14 blast furnace gas flare SO emission limit because the 

emission factor used to generate the emission limitation of 0.07 lb/MMBtu is inherent~ difficult to validate and has 

not been peer reviewed or incorporated in U.S. EPA's Compilation of Emission Factors. {ISG) 

Response: IDEM agrees that there will be no negative environmental impact on the ambient air quality with 

respect to S02 emissions as a result of this rulemaking. Air quality modeling performed to establish the 326 lAC 

Date: Jun 09,2009 3:20:40PM EDT DIN: 20071031-IR-326070088PRA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

7-4-14 S02 emission limits for emission points at the steelmaking plant attribute 100% of the available blast 

furnace gas to being used in the blast furnace stoves, coke ovens, and the power station boilers. Compliance with 

the S02 emission limits established for the processes using blast furnace gas assures protection of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for S~. regardless of the presence of an S02 emission limit for the blast 

furnace gas flare. IDEM acknowledges that Su2 emission limits are not imposed on flares for any other 

steelmaking operations or for any other flares in Indiana. IDEM agrees that add-on control technologies do not 

currently exist for $02 emission control at blast furnace gas flares, and that the blast furnace gas flare is a 

necessary control device for the safe operation of the blast furnace gas distribution system. IDEM further agrees 

that because the sulfur content present in raw materials processed at ISG Burns Harbor LLC's blast furnaces is 

highly variable, and that the nature of the steelmaking process requires a continuous addition of raw materials to 

the blast furnace, it is technically infeasible to manage the sulfur content of the materials charged ih the blast 

furnace to achieve compliance with the blast furnace flare S02 emission limit. For these reasons, IDEM agrees 

that it is appropriate and necessary to remove the S02 emission limit for ISG Burns Harbor LLC's blast furnace 

gas flare from 326 lAC 7-4-14.

DIGEST 

Amends 326 lAC 6-6-5 and 326 lAC 7-4-14 concerning operations at ISG Burns Harbor LLC. Effective 30 

days after filing with the Publisher. 

HISTORY 

First Notice: February 21, 2007, Indiana Register (DIN: 20070221-IR-326070088FNA). 

Second Notice: August 8, 2007, Indiana Register (DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088SNA). 

Notice of First Hearing: August 8, 2007, Indiana Register (DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088PHA). 

Date of First Hearing: October 3, 2007. 

PUBLIC COMMENTS UNDER IC 13-14-9-4.5 

IC 13-14-9-4.5 states that a board may not adopt a rule under IC 13-14-9 that is substantively different from 

the draft rule published under IC 13-14-9-4 until the board has conducted a third comment period that is at least 

21 days long. . 

Because this proposed rule is not substantively different from the draft rule published on August 8, 2007, at 

DIN: 20070808-IR-326070088SNA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is not 

requesting additional comment on this proposed rule. 

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD 

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requested public comment from August 8, 

2007, through September 7, 2007, on IDEM's draft rule language. IDEM received comments from the following 

party: 

ISG Burns Harbor LLC (ISG) 

Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comment: We support the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 "Bethlehem Steel Corporation fugitive dust 

control strategy". The amended rule will allow more flexibility to employ improved technologies on a schedule 

based on actual plant operations. The amount of paved and unpaved roads and their configurations have 

changed over the last 20 years, so that the map and mileage requirements of 326 lAC 6-6-5 are no longer 

accurate. (ISG) 

Response: IDEM agrees that the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 will provide more efficient use of 

resources and provide equivalent or improved fugitive particulate matter emission control. IDEM believes that the 

section of the draft rule amending 326 lAC 6-6-5 provides thorough guidance on how to address the potential 

fugitive particulate matter emissions, and that the draft amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 will result in a plan that is 

easier to modify as new technologies or business practices are introduced, and will also result in more efficient 

and less costly fugitive particulate matter control strategies. 

Comment: We suggest that "Bethlehem Steel Corporation" and "Bethlehem" be deleted and replaced 

throughout 326 lAC 6-6-5 with "ISG Burns Harbor LLC". (ISG) 

Response: IDEM agrees, and has proposed the appropriate changes in this rulemaking. 

Comment: We support the draft amendment to 326 lAC 7-4-14 removing the S02. emission limit for the blast 

furnace gas flare. Removing the SO emission limit for the blast furnace gas flare willrncrease regulatory 

consistency, result in no increase in ~he actual emissions of S02 and no operational changes at ISG Burns Harbor 

LLC, result in no impact on modeled emissions, and will eliminate an outdated standard. (ISG) 

Comment: There is no SO 2 emission limit for the blast furnace gas flare at U.S. Steel Gary Works in 

neighboring Lake County. Air quality modeling conducted for U.S. Steel Gary Works accounted for the use of 

more blast furnace gas in the other combustion units than could be produc,ed. IDEM agreed that including the 

blast furnace flares in the Lake County S02 attainment demonstration model was not appropriate when all 

potentially available blast furnace gas is accounted for in modeled emissions from other combustion units. 

Because ISG Burns Harbor's system for blast furnace gas combustion is identical to that used by Gary Works, the 

S02 emission limit for the 326 lAC 7-4-14 blast furnace gas flare can be eliminated without affecting Porter 

County's demonstr~ted SO NAAQS attainment. (ISG) . . 

Comment: IDEM shoufct eliminate the 326 lAC 7-4-14 blast furnace gas flare SO emission limit because the 

emission factor used to generate the emission limitation of 0.07 lb/MMBtu is inherentfy difficult to validate and has 

not been peer reviewed or incorporated in U.S. EPA's Compilation of Emission Factors. (ISG) 

Response: IDEM agrees that there will be no negative environmental impact on the ambient air quality with 

respect to S02 emissions as a result of this rulemaking. Air quality modeling performed to establish the 326 lAC 

Date: Nov 05,2007 9:02:11 AM EST DIN: 20071031-IR-326070088PRA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

7-4-14 S02 emission limits for emission points at the steelmaking plant attribute 1 00% of the available blast 

furnace gas to being used in the blast furnace stoves, coke ovens, and the power station boilers. Compliance with • 

the S02 emission limits established for the processes using blast furnace gas assures protection of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for S0..2, regardless of the presence of an S02 emission limit for the blast 

furnace gas flare. IDEM acknowledges that Su2 emission limits are not imposed on flares for any other 

steelmaking operations or for any other flares in Indiana. IDEM agrees that add-on control technologies do not 

currently exist for S02 emission control at blast furnace gas flares, and that the blast furnace gas flare is a 

necessary control device for the safe operation of the blast furnace gas distribution system. IDEM further agrees 

that because the sulfur content present in raw materials processed at ISG Burns Harbor LLC's blast furnaces is 

highly variable, and that the nature of the steelmaking process requires a continuous addition of raw materials to 

the blast furnace, it is technically infeasible to manage the sulfur content of the materials charged in the blast 

furnace to achieve compliance with the blast furnace flare S02 emission limit. For these reasons, IDEM agrees 

that it is appropriate and necessary to remove the S02 emission limit for ISG Burns Harbor LLC's blast furnace 

gas flare from 326 lAC 7-4-14. 

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING 

On October 3, 2007, the Air Pollution Control Board (board) conducted the first public hearing/board meeting 

concerning the development of amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 and 326 lAC 7-4-14 concerning operations at ISG 

Burns Harbor LLC. No comments were made at the first hearing.

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING 

On April 1, 2009, the Air Pollution Control Board (board) conducted the second public hearing/board meeting 

concerning the development of amendments to 326 lAC 6-6-5 and 326 lAC 7-4-14. Comments were made by the 

following parties: 

Janet McCabe, Improving Kids Environment (IKE) 

Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comments: It is hard to tell what are the additional changes to the proposed rule. To the extent that the 

department acknowledges that the changes are not a logical outgrowth, it suggests that the changes are 

significant. The fact sheet says that the changes allow greater flexibility but does not provide additional 

explanation of the changes. I do agree with the overall approach of the rulemaking, where it is better to have a 

company submit a plan for approval to control fugitive dust rather than spelling out every detail in the rule, which 

is how the rule was originally written. 

However, I do have some questions about some of the changes the department is suggesting. The new 

Date: May 22,2009 7:52:35AM EDT DIN: 20090513-IR-326070088PRA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

proposed rule presented today changes the definition of open aggregate pile. In the original rule (first proposed 

rule) the definition included a variety of different types of materials. In the proposed rule before the board today, it • 

is just limited to coal. I am curious why the other materials are no longer included in the fugitive dust control plan? 

The proposed rule also seems to limit the types of locations of the plant that will be covered by the fugitive 

dust control plan to coal piles and paved and unpaved roads. The previous proposed rule included areas around 

piles, parking lots, areas where material is transferred or conveyed from one place to another, which is an area 

where fugitive dust could be generated. I would like to know why these areas are no longer to be covered by the 

fugitive dust control plan? 

It appears that steel mills often have contractors, separate from the steel mill itself, that work and conduct 

various operations on their property. In the proposed rule it does not appear that the areas for which the 

contractors are responsible are covered in the fugitive dust control plan, is that correct? 

I look forward to hearing from the department and discussing the changes in the proposed rule and what the 

impact will be on the creation or reduction of fugitive dust on the property. (IKE) 

Response: The company, currently known as ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor LLC (ArcelorMittal), requested that 

IDEM amend the rule 326 lAC 6-6-5, Bethlehem Steel Corporation fugitive dust control strategy. This rule was 

originally developed in 1988 as a nontraditional fugitive dust control plan for the facility. The existing rule language 

at 326 lAC 6-6-5 contains explicit prescriptive measures to control fugitive dust at the facility for paved roads, 

unpaved roads, and low volatile coal storage piles. ArcelorMittal requested the rule change because the specific 

control measures required by the rule were no longer the most efficient or effective methods for controlling the 

fugitive emissions from the roadways and coal piles at the facility. ArcelorMittal wanted to implement more 

efficient dust control practices for the fugitive dust emission points in the existing rule (paved roads, unpaved 

roads, and coal piles) while providing the opportunity for flexibility in the future by removing the prescriptive 

language in 326 lAC 6-6-5 and submitting to IDEM a fugitive dust control plan modeled after the requirements for 

fugitive dust control plans in 326 lAC 6-5. 

The draft rule language in the Second Notice of Comment Period was a full text incorporation of nearly all the 

language for fugitive dust control plans from 326 lAC 6-5. Following preliminary adoption of the draft rule at an Air 

Pollution Control Board hearing on October 31, 2007, ArcelorMittal requested that IDEM amend the proposed rule 

language. ArcelorMittal objected to the inclusion of emission points and control measures for which they are not 

responsible under the existing 326 lAC 6-6-5. ArcelorMittal is not required to control fugitive dust from all the 

emission points that were listed in the previous proposed rule (piles, parking lots, areas where material is • 

transferred or conveyed from one place to another, etc) and ArcelorMittal is not subject to the applicability of 326 

lAC 6-5. ArcelorMittal is not responsible for those areas in the existing rule and any rule amendments should not 

enlarge ArcelorMittal's responsibilities for providing fugitive dust control for those areas. Following ArcelorMittal's 

clarification of their request for amendments to the proposed rule language, IDEM amended the proposed rule to 

ensure that the scope of the proposed rule language at 326 lAC 6-6-5 is consistent with the existing rule language 

at 326 lAC 6-6-5. 

The following changes were made to the original proposed rule to ensure that the scope of ArcelorMittal's 

fugitive dust control plan does not enlarge ArcelorMittal's existing requirements to control fugitive dust from paved 

roads, unpaved roads and coal piles: 

1. Amended the definition of open aggregate pile to include only coal because ArcelorMittal is not responsible 

under the existing rule for the additional materials (slag, sand, gravel, and stone). 

2. Removed from subsection (c) and (d) all emission points and control measures except those for which 

ArcelorMittal is currently required to control under the existing rule at 326 lAC 6-6-5. 

IDEM is not requiring ArcelorMittal to expand their fugitive particulate matter control plan to include those areas 

on their property that contractors currently manage. ArcelorMittal is not responsible for controlling fugitive dust 

from those areas under the existing rule language and is not required to coritrol those areas under the revised 

326 lAC 6-6-5 rule language. IDEM is not expanding the scope of ArcelorMittal's fugitive dust control 

responsibilities in this rulemaking. 

The portion of the rulemaking dealing with fugitive dust is simply amending the process in which ArcelorMittal 

may request changes to their existing fugitive dust control responsibilities. The amendments will permit 

ArcelorMittal to submit a plan for controlling fugitive dust for IDEM approval that is no less stringent than their 

existing requirements. The existing language in 326 lAC 6-6-5 does not allow ArcelorMittal to update or modify 

their fugitive dust control strategy without completing an amendment to the rule language. The amendments to 

326 .lAC 6-6-5 allow ArcelorMittal to submit for review and approval to the department a fugitive dust control plan 

for the paved roads, unpaved roads, and coal piles, rather than have the prescribed measures for controlling 

fugitive dust from those areas stated explicitly in the rule language. 

This rulemaking should provide ArcelorMittal with the flexibility that they requested. This rulemaking is neither 

a relaxation nor a strengthening of ArcelorMittal's fugitive <;lust control requirements under 326 lAC 6-6-5. IDEM • 

does not expect any additional fugitive dust emissions from the ArcelorMittal facility as a result of these changes 

to the proposed rule. This rulemaking is amending the rule language to provide ArcelorMittal the opportunity to 

submit a fugitive dust control plan rather than have a prescribed fugitive dust control strategy explicitly stated in
