Facility ID: 1318008109 Issuance type: Final State Permit To Operate This version of facility specific terms and conditions was converted from a database format to an HTML file during an upgrade of the Ohio EPA, Division of Air Pollution Control's permitting software. Every attempt has been made to convert the terms and conditions to look and substantively conform to the permit issued or being drafted in STARS. However, the format of the terms may vary slightly from the original. In addition, although it is not expected, there is a slight possibility that a term and condition may have been inadvertently "left out" of this reproduction during the conversion process. Therefore, if this version is to be used as a starting point in drafting a new version of a permit, it is imperative that the entire set of terms and conditions be reviewed to ensure they substantively mimic the issued permit. The official version of any permit issued final by Ohio EPA is kept in the Agency's Legal section. The Legal section may be contacted at (614) 644
-3037. In addition to the terms and conditions, hyperlinks have been inserted into the document so you may more readily access the section of the document you wish to review. Finally, the term language under "Part II" and before "A. Applicable Emissions Limitations..." has been added to aid in document conversion, and was not part of the original issued permit.

-on air pollution control device (For emissions units not required to conduct a performance test, the surface tension measurement may fulfill this requirement.); for each monitored parameter for which a compliant value was established, the specific operating parameter value, or range of values, that corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limit; the methods that will be used to determine continuous compliance; a description of the air pollution control technique used for each emission point; a statement that the permittee has completed and has on file the operation and maintenance plan as required by the work practice standards; a statement by the permittee as to whether the emissions unit is in compliance; and records to support that the facility is an area (non
-major) source. 4. The permittee shall report to the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency the results of any

performance test conducted. The report shall be submitted no later than 90 days following the completion of the performance test, and shall be submitted as part of the notification of compliance status report required by this section. 5. The permittee shall prepare an ongoing compliance status report annually (unless a request to reduce frequency

of ongoing compliance status reports has been approved) to the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency to document the ongoing compliance status of the emissions unit. This report shall include the following: the company name and address of the emissions unit; an identification of the operating parameter that is monitored for compliance determination; the relevant emission limitation for the emissions unit, and the operating parameter value, or range of values, that correspond to compliance with this emission limitation as specified in the Notification of Compliance Status required by this section; the beginning and ending dates of the reporting period; the total operating time of the emissions unit during the reporting period; a summary of operating parameter values, including the total duration of excess emissions during the reporting period as indicated by those values, the total duration of excess emissions expressed as a percent of the total emissions unit operating time during that reporting period, and a breakdown of the total duration of excess emissions during the reporting period into those that are due to process upsets, control equipment malfunctions, other known causes, and unknown causes; a certification by a responsible official that the work practice standards in this permit were followed in accordance with the operation and maintenance plan for the emissions unit; if the operation and maintenance plan required by this permit was not followed, an explanation of the reasons for not following the provisions, an assessment of whether any excess emission and/or parameter monitoring exceedances are believed to have occurred, and a copy of the reports required by the work practices in this permit; A description of any changes in monitoring, processes, or controls since the last reporting period; The name, title, and signature of the responsible official who is certifying the accuracy of the report; and The date of the report. 6. The permittee shall submit semiannual reports if the following conditions are met:

the total duration of excess emissions is one percent or greater of the total operating time for the reporting period; and, the total duration of malfunctions of the add
-on air pollution control device and monitoring equipment is 5 percent or greater of the total operating time. 7. Once the permittee reports an exceedence, ongoing compliance status reports shall be submitted semiannually

until a request to reduce reporting frequency is approved. 8. The appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency may determine on a case by case basis that the

summary reports shall be completed more frequently and submitted, or that the annaul report shall be submitted instead of being retained on site, if these measures are neccessary to accurately assess the compliance status of the emissions unit. 9. The permittee who is required to submit ongoing compliance status reports on a semiannual (or more frequent)

basis, or is required to submit its annual report instead of retaining it on site, may reduce the frequency of reporting to annual and/or be allowed to maintain the annual report on site if all the following conditions are met: for 1 full year (e.g., 2 semiannual or 4 quarterly reporting periods), the ongoing compliance status reports demonstrate that the affected emissions unit is in compliance with relevant emission limit; the permittee continues to comply with all appliacable record keeping monitoring requirements of 40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart A and this permit; and, the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency does not object to a reduced reporting frequency. The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports may be reduced if the following requirements are met:

...E. Testing Requirements

F. Miscellaneous Requirements i. The permittee notifies the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency in writing of its intentions to make

such a change. The EPA District Office or local air agency may review information concerning the facility's previous performance history during the 5
-year record keeping period prior to the intend change, or the record keeping period since the emission unit's compliance date, which ever is shorter. Records subject to review include performance test results, monitoring data, and evaluations of the permittee's request is disapproved, the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency will notify the permittee in writing within 45 days after receiving notice. This notification will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted. ii. If monitoring data show that the emissions unit is not in compliance with the relevant emission limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to semiannual, and the permittee shall state this exceedence in the ongoing compliance status reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the permittee may again request approval to reduce the reporting frequency.

1. Performance test results shall be documented in complete test reports that contain the following information:

a brief process description; sampling location description(s); a description of sampling and analytical procedures and any modifications to standard procedures; test results; quality assurance procedures and results; records of operating conditions during testing, preparation of standards, and calibration procedures; raw data sheets for field sampling and field and laboratory analyses; documentation of calculations; and any other information required by the test method. 2. The test plan shall be made available to the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency prior to

testing, if requested. 3. The results of tests conducted prior to December 1991, in which Method 306A was used to demonstrate the

performance of a control technique, are not acceptable. 4. If the permittee conducts performance testing at startup to obtain a permit to install, the results of such testing

may be used to demonstrate compliance if: the test methods and procedures identified in this permit were used during the performance test; the performance test was conducted under representative operating conditions; the performance test report contains the elements of sections E.1.a through E.1.i; and the permittee has sufficient data to establish the operating parameter value that corresponds to compliance as required for continuous compliance monitoring. 5. Emission Limitation:

0.015 mg/dscm of total chromium compounds Applicable Compliance Method: The permittee shall demonstrate continuous compliance with the above emission limitation by conducting monitoring in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 63.343(c)(1) of Subpart N. 6. Emission Limitation:

20% opacity as a 6
-minute average Applicable Compliance Method: If required, compliance shall be demonstrated through visible emissions observations performed in accordance with Method 9 of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, and the procedures specified in OAC rule 3745
-17
-03. 7. Emission Limitation:

0.0012 TPY Compliance with the annual chromium limitation (0.0012 TPY of total chromium) is shown as long as compliance with 0.015 mg of chromium/dscm is maintained.
