Fugitive Dust: Attainment and Unclassified Areas - No person shall allow, cause or permit any 

materials to be handled, transported or stored; or a building, its appurtenances or a construction haul 

road to be used, constructed, altered repaired or demolished, with the exception of farming 

operations or dust generated by ordinary travel on unpaved public roads, without taking reasonable 

precautions to prevent particulate matter in quantities sufficient to create a nuisance, as defined in 

Iowa Code section 657.1, from becoming airborne. All persons, with the above exceptions, shall 

take reasonable precautions to prevent the discharge of visible emissions of fugitive dusts beyond 

the lot line of the property on which the emissions originate. The highway authority shall be 

responsible for taking corrective action in those cases where said authority has received complaints 

of or has actual knowledge of dust conditions which require abatement pursuant to this subrule. 

Reasonable precautions may include, but not limited to, the following procedures. 

1. Use, where practical, of water or chemicals for control of dusts in the demolition of 

existing buildings or structures, construction operations, the grading of roads or the 

clearing of land. 

2. Application of suitable materials, such as but not limited to asphalt, oil, water or 

chemicals on unpaved roads, material stockpiles, race tracks and other surfaces which can 

give rise to airborne dusts. 

3. Installation and use of containment or control equipment, to enclose or otherwise limit 

the emissions resulting from the handling and transfer of dusty materials, such as but not 

limited to grain, fertilizers or limestone. 

4. Covering at all times when in motion, open-bodied vehicles transporting materials likely 

to give rise to airborne dusts. 

5. Prompt removal of earth or other material from paved streets or to which earth or other 

material has been transported by trucking or earth-moving equipment, erosion by water or 

other means.

Applicable Limits and Requirements From Iowa Department of Natural Resources 

Administrative Consent Order No. 98-AQ-08 

 

 Haul Road Fugitive Dust Plan 

(a) Control of dust on frequently traveled paved and unpaved roads within the facility and 

quarry shall be performed in accordance with Plan A, Plan C, or Plan D, as specified in 

Exhibit "B" of Appendix A, Iowa Department of Natural Resources Administrative 

Consent Order No. 98-AQ-08. For purposes of Plans A and D contained in Exhibit "B", 

an operating day is a 24-hour period beginning at 6 am. Lafarge may change the 

definition of operating day for the purposes of the consent order by submitting advance 

notice of the change to DNR in writing. Sweeping or watering need not occur when a 

rain gauge located at the site indicates that at least 0.2 inch per day of precipitation 

(water equivalent) has occurred. Lafarge shall conduct its fugitive dust maintenance 

program according to the specifications in Exhibit "B" which is recognized as providing 

a 95 percent control efficiency. Lafarge shall maintain a daily log of the following: 

(1) the date and time 

(2) the specific watering plan used 

(3) the volume of water or other dust suppressant applied (if applicable to the plan being 

utilized), and the areas of application, and 

(4) the distance traveled (if applicable to the plan utilized). 

Or 

 (5a) the amount and type of precipitation, if the daily precipitation is greater than 0.2 

 inches. (The calculations listed on page 8 of Exhibit "B", Appendix A indicate 

 that additional watering beyond 0.2 inches of precipitation will not be needed to 

 achieve 95 percent control). 

 (5b) if the ambient temperature during the day is less than 35o

F, or conditions due to 

 weather in combination with the application of water or dust suppressant would 

 create dangerous conditions, then the fugitive dust plan will be postponed for that 

 operating day and the temperature recorded in a log. 

 (5c) records to demonstrate that the source will not be in operation during the 

 operating day, such that fugitive dust controls will not be required (such as 
 13 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 described on pages 8-9 of Exhibit "B", Appendix A). 

 

 The records shall be retained for a period of five (5) years following the date of such 

 applications and measurements and shall be made available to the Department of 

 Natural Resources upon request. 

 

(b) For purposes of the annual average emission rate for PM-10, Lafarge shall follow the 

 "Monthly Limits" listed in Exhibit "C", Appendix A. The applicable parameters 

 specified in Exhibit "C" shall be entered in a monthly log to demonstrate compliance 

 with the monthly limits list. Monthly logs shall be retained for a period of five (5) 

 years following the date of such entries and shall be made available to the Department 

 of Natural Resources upon request. 

(c) Lafarge shall continue to comply with all paragraphs of Iowa DOT Agreement No. 

94-16-69. A copy of this agreement is provided in Exhibit "E" of Appendix A. 

 (d) Lafarge shall submit to the Washington DNR Field Office written quarterly reports 

 detailing progress toward the completion of the requirements of Consent Order No. 

 98-AQ-08, including compliance with all air quality permits issued as a result of the 

 Consent Order. The quarterly reports shall be due no later than 30 days following the 

 close of each quarter.

certification of this permit. 567 IAC 22.108(6) 

G13. Hazardous Release 

The permittee must report any situation involving the actual, imminent, or probable release of a 

hazardous substance into the atmosphere which, because of the quantity, strength and toxicity of the 

substance, creates an immediate or potential danger to the public health, safety or to the 

environment. A verbal report shall be made to the department at (515) 281-8694 and to the local 

police department or the office of the sheriff of the affected county as soon as possible but not later 

than six hours after the discovery or onset of the condition. This verbal report must be followed up 

with a written report as indicated in 567 IAC 131.2(2). 567 IAC Chapter 131-State Only 

G14. Excess Emissions and Excess Emissions Reporting Requirements 

1. Excess Emissions. Excess emission during a period of startup, shutdown, or cleaning of control 

equipment is not a violation of the emission standard if the startup, shutdown or cleaning is 

accomplished expeditiously and in a manner consistent with good practice for minimizing 

emissions. Cleaning of control equipment which does not require the shutdown of the process 

equipment shall be limited to one six-minute period per one-hour period. An incident of excess 

emission (other than an incident during startup, shutdown or cleaning of control equipment) is a 

violation. If the owner or operator of a source maintains that the incident of excess emission was 

due to a malfunction, the owner or operator must show that the conditions which caused the incident 

of excess emission were not preventable by reasonable maintenance and control measures. 

Determination of any subsequent enforcement action will be made following review of this report. 

If excess emissions are occurring, either the control equipment causing the excess emission shall be 
 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 

69

repaired in an expeditious manner or the process generating the emissions shall be shutdown within 

a reasonable period of time. An expeditious manner is the time necessary to determine the cause of 

the excess emissions and to correct it within a reasonable period of time. A reasonable period of 

time is eight hours plus the period of time required to shut down the process without damaging the 

process equipment or control equipment. In the case of an electric utility, a reasonable period of 

time is eight hours plus the period of time until comparable generating capacity is available to meet 

consumer demand with the affected unit out of service, unless, the director shall, upon investigation, 

reasonably determine that continued operation constitutes an unjustifiable environmental hazard and 

issue an order that such operation is not in the public interest and require a process shutdown to 

commence immediately. 

2. Excess Emissions Reporting 

a. Oral Reporting of Excess Emissions. An incident of excess emission (other than an incident of 

excess emission during a period of startup, shutdown, or cleaning) shall be reported to the 

appropriate field office of the department within eight hours of, or at the start of the first working 

day following the onset of the incident. The reporting exemption for an incident of excess emission 

during startup, shutdown or cleaning does not relieve the owner or operator of a source with 

continuous monitoring equipment of the obligation of submitting reports required in 567-subrule 

25.1(6). An oral report of excess emission is not required for a source with operational continuous 

monitoring equipment (as specified in 567-subrule 25.1(1) ) if the incident of excess emission 

continues for less than 30 minutes and does not exceed the applicable visible emission standard by 

more than 10 percent opacity. The oral report may be made in person or by telephone and shall 

include as a minimum the following: 

i. The identity of the equipment or source operation from which the excess emission originated and 

the associated stack or emission point. 

ii. The estimated quantity of the excess emission. 

iii. The time and expected duration of the excess emission. 

iv. The cause of the excess emission. 

v. The steps being taken to remedy the excess emission. 

vi. The steps being taken to limit the excess emission in the interim period. 

b. Written Reporting of Excess Emissions. A written report of an incident of excess emission shall 

be submitted as a follow-up to all required oral reports to the department within seven days of the 

onset of the upset condition, and shall include as a minimum the following: 

i. The identity of the equipment or source operation point from which the excess emission 

originated and the associated stack or emission point. 

ii. The estimated quantity of the excess emission. 

iii. The time and duration of the excess emission. 

iv. The cause of the excess emission. 

v. The steps that were taken to remedy and to prevent the recurrence of the incident of excess 

emission. 

vi. The steps that were taken to limit the excess emission. 

vii. If the owner claims that the excess emission was due to malfunction, documentation to support 

this claim. 567 IAC 24.1(1)-567 IAC 24.1(4) 

3. Emergency Defense for Excess Emissions. For the purposes of this permit, an “emergency” 

means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of 

the source, including acts of God, which requires immediate corrective action to restore normal 

operation, and that causes the source to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the 

permit due to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall 
 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 

70

not include non-compliance, to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of 

preventive maintenance, careless or improper operation or operator error. An emergency constitutes 

an affirmative defense to an action brought for non-compliance with technology based limitations if 

it can be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant 

evidence that: 

a. An emergency occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the emergency; 

b. The facility at the time was being properly operated; 

c. During the period of the emergency, the permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of 

emissions that exceeded the emissions standards or other requirements of the permit; and 

d. The permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the director by certified mail within two 

working days of the time when the emissions limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This 

notice must contain a description of the emergency, any steps taken to mitigate emissions, and 

corrective actions taken. 567 IAC 22.108(16) 

G15. Permit Deviation Reporting Requirements 

A deviation is any failure to meet a term, condition or applicable requirement in the permit. 

Reporting requirements for deviations that result in a hazardous release or excess emissions have 

been indicated above (see G13 and G14). Unless more frequent deviation reporting is specified in 

the permit, any other deviation shall be documented in the semi-annual monitoring report and the 

annual compliance certification (see G4 and G5). 567 IAC 22.108(5)"b" 

G16. Notification Requirements for Sources That Become Subject to NSPS and NESHAP 

Regulations 

During the term of this permit, the permittee must notify the department of any source that becomes 

subject to a standard or other requirement under 567-subrule 23.1(2) (standards of performance of 

new stationary sources) or section 111 of the Act; or 567-subrule 23.1(3) (emissions standards for 

hazardous air pollutants), 567-subrule 23.1(4) (emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for 

source categories) or section 112 of the Act. This notification shall be submitted in writing to the 

department pursuant to the notification requirements in 40 CFR Section 60.7, 40 CFR Section 

61.07, and/or 40 CFR Section 63.9. 567 IAC 23.1(2), 567 IAC 23.1(3), 567 IAC 23.1(4)

stationary source to apply for a Title V permit if the change does not meet the requirements of 

subrule 22.110(1). 567 IAC 22.110(3) 

4. The permit shield provided in subrule 22.108(18) shall not apply to any change made pursuant to 

this rule. Compliance with the permit requirements that the source will meet using the emissions 

trade shall be determined according to requirements of the state implementation plan authorizing the 

emissions trade. 567 IAC 22.110(4) 

5. No permit revision shall be required, under any approved economic incentives, marketable 

permits, emissions trading and other similar programs or processes, for changes that are provided 

for in this permit. 567 IAC 22.108(11) 

G18. Duty to Modify a Title V Permit 

1. Administrative Amendment. 

a. An administrative permit amendment is a permit revision that is required to do any of the 

following: 

i. Correct typographical errors 

ii. Identify a change in the name, address, or telephone number of any person identified in the 

permit, or provides a similar minor administrative change at the source;

ii. Do not involve significant changes to existing monitoring, reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements in the Title V permit. 

iii. Do not require or change a case by case determination of an emission limitation or other 

standard, or increment analysis. 

iv. Do not seek to establish or change a permit term or condition for which there is no 

corresponding underlying applicable requirement and that the source has assumed in order to avoid 

an applicable requirement to which the source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and 

conditions include any federally enforceable emissions caps which the source would assume to 

avoid classification as a modification under any provision under Title I of the Act; and an 

alternative emissions limit approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under section 112(i)(5) of 

the Act.; 

v. Are not modifications under any provision of Title I of the Act; and 

vi. Are not required to be processed as significant modification. 

b. An application for minor permit revision shall be on the minor Title V modification application 

form and shall include at least the following: 

i. A description of the change, the emissions resulting from the change, and any new applicable

director takes any of the actions specified in 567 IAC 22.112(4) "a" to "c", the permittee must 

comply with both the applicable requirements governing the change and the proposed permit terms 

and conditions. During this time, the permittee need not comply with the existing permit terms and 

conditions it seeks to modify. However, if the permittee fails to comply with its proposed permit 

terms and conditions during this time period, existing permit term terms and conditions it seeks to 

modify may subject the facility to enforcement action. 

3. Significant Permit Modification. Significant Title V modification procedures shall be used for 

applications requesting Title V permit modifications that do not qualify as minor Title V 

modifications or as administrative amendments. These include but are not limited to all significant 

changes in monitoring permit terms, every relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping permit terms, 

and any change in the method of measuring compliance with existing requirements. Significant 

Title V modifications shall meet all requirements of 567 IAC Chapter 22, including those for 

applications, public participation, review by affected states, and review by the administrator, and 

those requirements that apply to Title V issuance and renewal. 567 IAC 22.111-567 IAC 22.113 

The permittee shall submit an application for a significant permit modification not later than three 

months after commencing operation of the changed source unless the existing Title V permit would 

prohibit such construction or change in operation, in which event the operation of the changed

1.0 Introduction 

Lafarge North America owns and operates a cement manufacturing plant on its property in Scott County, 

approximately one-mile northeast of Buffalo, IA. The Lafarge-Buffalo property encompasses approximately 

740 acres, situated at approximately 41 degrees, 28 minutes north latitude and 90 degrees, 41 minutes west 

longitude along Highway 22. The operation includes an open pit mine quarry north of the highway and a 

cement manufacturing plant south of the highway that includes a long, dry cement kiln, a preheater / 

precalciner tower and a finish mill. The location of the facility is shown on Figure 1-1. 

The plant street address is: 

Cement Group / Davenport Iowa 

301 E. Front Street 

Buffalo, IA 52728 

The facilities are subject to regulation under 40 CFR 63 Subpart LLL, National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (PC MACT Standards) and 

must be in compliance with the standards by June 14, 2002. In order to be in compliance, Lafarge has 

developed the compliance plans required to satisfy the PC MACT standards including these Operations and 

Maintenance Plans for each system at the plant. 

1.1 Process Description 

Lafarge obtains the primary raw material (limestone) for Portland cement manufacturing from an open pit 

mine adjacent to the cement plant. The limestone is crushed using a Humboldt Wedag impact type crusher 

with a capacity of 1300 tons per hour of minus 60” quarry run to 95% minus 3 1⁄2” product. 

The crushed limestone is carried across highway 22 via a belt conveyor to the top of a storage dome on the 

plant side. The conveyor discharges to a motor operated 2-way gate which directs the material either to the 

stacker belt conveyor for building a storage pile in the dome with a 15,000-ton capacity, or to another belt 

conveyor (360). 360-belt conveyor discharges the material to another motorized 2-way gate that directs the 

material either to the “high” lime silo with a capacity of 500 tons or to the “low rock” silo with a capacity of 

2,000 tons. 

The “low rock” mixture is reclaimed from the dome storage using a slope-raking system consisting of 

adjustable harrows. The harrows rake the face of the pile in a radial, back and forth motion causing a 

uniform layer of material from the entire pile face to flow to a scraper conveyor. The conveyor forces the 

material to the center column and discharges to a surge bin with a 100-ton capacity. 

“Low rock” and “high rock” are discharged from their respective bins and fed proportionally to the raw mill 

rotary air lock, which discharges directly to an Allis Chalmers roller mill with a SLF 6150 classifier. The 

rated capacity of the raw mill is 230 stph with a feed size of minus 4 inches to a fineness of 85% minus 200 

mesh, while simultaneously drying the raw mix from a moisture content of 8.6% to 1⁄2%. 

The raw mix from the roller mill is pneumatically conveyed via an airlift to the top of a homogenizing silo 

with a capacity of 10,000 tons. Another vertical airlift conveys material from the homogenizing silo (kiln 

feed) to the top of a preheater tower to a level storage bin. From the bin material is fed to an air duct 

between stages 1 and 2 of a 4-stage preheater/precalciner. 
 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 

109

The preheated material is fed to a coal-fired precalciner where the material and fuel are premixed before 

being introduced to a combustion air stream. The precalcined material then enters a long dry rotary kiln that 

is coal fired through a combination burner pipe with oil nozzles used for warm up and start up. 

Clinker is discharged from the kiln into an air quenching moveable grate clinker cooler in which ambient air 

is blown up through the bottom of the cooler and up through the clinker bed. The hot air exiting the cooler is 

recycled to several different areas in the process. 

Up to 50% of the kiln exhaust gases entering the preheater can be sent to an alkali bypass system in order to 

decrease the amount of alkalis and sulfur in the clinker product and to minimize buildup and plugging. The 

hot kiln gases are quenched through intermixing of ambient air. The gases leaving the quench chamber are 

then passed through a water spray gas conditioning tower for further cooling before entering a dust collector. 

Coal is reclaimed from its large outdoor storage pile through underground hoppers with vibrating feeders and 

fed to a 1250-ton storage silo. From the silo, coal is fed to a bowl mill where it is crushed and then conveyed 

to 2 – 5 ton tanks. 70% of the coal is used to fuel the precalciner and the remaining 30% is consumed in the 

kiln burner pipe. 

Clinker discharges from the clinker cooler to a series of drag conveyors and elevators that eventually lead to 

one drag conveyor that can discharge the clinker into one of 2 – 37,500 ton silos. From the silos, clinker is 

conveyed to one of two finish mill storage bins and a third bin is used to store gypsum and can be filled with 

a front-end loader. 

Proportioned amounts of clinker and gypsum are fed to a 15-foot diameter, 51-foot long Allis Chalmers two 

compartment ball mill with a capacity of 180 tph. The cement product discharged from the mill passes 

through either a static separator, an air separator, or both. The fine material that makes its way through the 

separation process is passed through one of two cement coolers and then conveyed to storage silos in the 

shipping department. 

1.2 System Definition 

Based on the process description described above, Lafarge has divided operations at the cement plant into the 

following five systems: 

1. Raw Material Preparation 

2. Kiln, Coal/Coke Handling 

3. Clinker Cooler 

4. Cement Production 

5. Cement Shipping

112

has been verified, checklist data is entered into MAXIMO. This and other relevant information are 

periodically archived within the database, establishing a verifiable record of ongoing PM activity completion 

and providing a method by which to review historical equipment performance. 

6.0 Monitoring Requirements 

6.1 Opacity Monitoring Requirements 

 The in-line roller mill baghouse opacity monitoring requirements will be included in the O&M plan for 

the Pyroprocessing – Kiln System. 

6.2 Periodic Method 22 Visible Emissions Monitoring Requirements 

 As referenced in the table in Section 2.0, other parts of the Raw Material Preparation System, including the 

conveyors, limestone silo, homogenization silo will be tested for visible emissions once each month using 

USEPA Method 22 – Visual Determination of Fugitive Emissions from Material Sources and Smoke 

Emissions from Flares. The Method 22 tests will be conducted by trained observers while the Raw 

Material Preparation System is in operation. The Maintenance Manager (or a designated representative) 

will schedule the Method 22 testing. Copies of the Method 22 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and 

equipment needed to conduct the tests (stopwatch, etc.) will be maintained in the Environmental 

Department. 

As noted in the Method 22 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 22 test, the observer should determine the presence or absence of visible emissions at 

points above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 22 tests will be 

one minute. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 22 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Maintenance Manager, who will forward the results to the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative). The Environmental Manager (or a designated 

representative) will maintain the Method 22 records for a period of five years. 

If visible emissions are noted during a monthly Method 22 test, the observer will immediately notify the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) so that a six-minute Method 9 test can be started 

within one hour of the initial observation. 

Note: If monthly Method 22 tests indicate no visible emissions for six consecutive monthly tests, the test 

frequency may be reduced to once every six months. If no visible emissions are detected on the next sixmonth test, the test frequency may be reduced to once per year. Any time visible emissions are detected by 

these Method 22 tests, monthly testing must be resumed [40 CFR 63.1350(a)(4)(ii) & (iii)]. 

6.3 Periodic Method 9 Opacity Tests 

 Whenever visible emissions are observed during a Method 22 test of the Raw Material Preparation System, 

an opacity test using the procedures described in USEPA Method 9 – Visual Determination of the Opacity 

of Emissions from Stationary Sources must be performed to determine if the 10 percent opacity limit is 

being met. If visible emissions are observed during the one-minute Method 22 test, a six-minute Method 9 

test must be conducted within one hour of the initial observation. 
 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 

113

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will ensure that trained and certified Method 

9 observers are available each day the Method 22 testing is conducted on the Raw Material Preparation 

System. Copies of the Method 9 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the 

tests will be maintained in the Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 9 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 9 test, the observer should determine the opacity of visible emissions plume at points 

above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 9 test will be six 

minutes. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 9 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Environmental Department. The Environmental Manager (or 

a designated representative) will maintain the Method 9 records for a period of five years. 

The observer will notify the Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) and initiate corrective 

action immediately if the Method 9 test indicates opacity exceeding 10 percent. 

7.0 Periodic Review and Update of this Operations and Maintenance Plan 

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will review this Raw Material Preparation 

System Operations and Maintenance Plan once per year for adequacy and currency. Documentation of the 

annual review or update will be retained in Environmental Department files for five years.

The Kiln System and Coal/Coke Handling System PM schedules are maintained on MAXIMO. The PM 

schedules and the PM task lists for equipment in these systems are based upon past experience with similar 

equipment and the manufacturer’s documentation/recommendations. 

Maintenance Technicians utilize checklists from the MAXIMO database to conduct PM activities. The 

checklists include detailed steps and instructions for performance of these activities. Once work completion 

has been verified, checklist data is entered into MAXIMO. This and other relevant information are 

periodically archived within the database, establishing a verifiable record of ongoing PM activity completion 

and providing a method by which to review historical equipment performance. 

6.0 Monitoring Requirements 

6.1 Opacity Monitoring Requirements 

The kiln/in-line raw mill and alkali bypass baghouse emissions exit from a single stack (kiln exhaust stack) 

and are monitored for opacity using a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in accordance with 40 CFR 

63.1350(c). The COM is installed, maintained, calibrated, and operated as required by 40 CFR 63, Subpart 

A and 40 CFR 60 Appendix B PS-1. Opacity is maintained such that the 6-minute average opacity does not 

exceed 20 percent. (Note: The plant’s PSD permit requires it to meet a 10 percent opacity on the kiln 

exhaust stack.) 

6.2 Periodic Method 22 Visible Emissions Monitoring Requirements 

As referenced in the table in Section 2.0, other parts of the Kiln System, including the CKD silo, kiln feed air 

lift, and coal mill/solid fuel grinding dust collector baghouses, will be tested for visible emissions once each 

month using USEPA Method 22 – Visual Determination of Fugitive Emissions from Material Sources and 

Smoke Emissions from Flares. The Method 22 tests will be conducted by trained observers while the Kiln 

System is in operation. The Maintenance Manager (or a designated representative) will schedule the Method 

22 testing. Copies of the Method 22 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct 

the tests (stopwatch, etc.) will be maintained in the Environmental Department. 
 Title V Permit 03/29/04 

 

117

As noted in the Method 22 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 22 test, the observer should determine the presence or absence of visible emissions at 

points above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 22 tests will be 

one minute. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 22 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Maintenance Manager, who will forward the results to the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative). The Environmental Manager (or a designated 

representative) will maintain the Method 22 records for a period of five years. 

If visible emissions are noted during a monthly Method 22 test, the observer will immediately notify the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) so that a six-minute Method 9 test can be started 

within one hour of the initial observation. 

Note: If monthly Method 22 tests indicate no visible emissions for six consecutive monthly tests, the test 

frequency may be reduced to once every six months. If no visible emissions are detected on the next sixmonth test, the test frequency may be reduced to once per year. Any time visible emissions are detected by 

these Method 22 tests, monthly testing must be resumed [40 CFR 63.1350(a)(4)(ii) & (iii)]. 

6.3 Periodic Method 9 Opacity Tests 

Whenever visible emissions are observed during a Method 22 test of the Kiln System, an opacity test using 

the procedures described in USEPA Method 9 – Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from 

Stationary Sources must be performed to determine if the 10 percent opacity limit is being met. If visible 

emissions are observed during the one-minute Method 22 test, a six-minute Method 9 test must be conducted 

within one hour of the initial observation. 

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will ensure that trained and certified Method 9 

observers are available each day the Method 22 testing is conducted on the Kiln System. Copies of the 

Method 9 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the tests will be maintained 

in the Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 9 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 9 test, the observer should determine the opacity of visible emissions plume at points 

above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 9 test will be six 

minutes. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 9 Field Data

6.0 Monitoring Requirements 

6.1 Periodic Method 22 Visible Emissions Monitoring Requirements 

The finish mill portion of the Cement Production System must be tested for visible emissions once each day 

using the procedures described in USEPA Method 22 – Visual Determination of Fugitive Emissions from 

Material Sources and Smoke Emissions from Flares. Other parts of the Cement Production System, 

including the cement transport system, will be tested for visible emissions using Method 22 once each 

month. (See the table in Section 2.0 for a summary of the testing frequency required for each emission 

point). The Method 22 tests will be conducted by trained observers while the Cement Production System is 

in operation. The Maintenance Manager (or a designated representative) will schedule the Method 22 testing. 

Copies of the Method 22 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the tests 

(stopwatch, etc.) will be maintained in the Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 22 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 22 test, the observer should determine the presence or absence of visible emissions at 

points above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks and the stilling shed covering, as applicable. 

The duration of the daily Method 22 tests will be six minutes; the monthly Method 22 tests will last one 

minute. Upon completion of the daily test, the observer will record the results on the Method 22 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Production Manager, who will forward the results to the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative). Upon completion of the monthly tests, the 

observer will record the result on the Method 22 Field Data Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the 

Maintenance Manager who will forward the results to the Environmental Manager (or a designated 

representative). The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will maintain the Method 22 

records for a period of five years. 

If visible emissions are noted during a daily Method 22 test, maintenance will be notified and corrective 

actions taken within one hour by submitting a maintenance work order request to the MAXIMO maintenance 
 

 

129 Title V Permit 10/26/04 

control system. A follow-up six-minute Method 22 test of the stack will be conducted within 24 hours of the 

initial observation. If visible emissions are noted during the follow-up test, the observer will immediately 

notify the Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) so that a 30-minute Method 9 test can be 

started within 24 hours of the second Method 22 observation. The observer will again initiate proper 

corrective actions within one hour by submitting a maintenance work order request to the MAXIMO 

maintenance control system. 

If visible emissions are noted during a monthly Method 22 test, the observer will immediately notify the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) so that a six-minute Method 9 test can be started 

within one hour of the initial observation. 

Note: If monthly Method 22 tests indicate no visible emissions for six consecutive monthly tests, the test 

frequency may be reduced to once every six months. If no visible emissions are detected on the next sixmonth test, the test frequency may be reduced to once per year. Any time visible emissions are detected by 

these Method 22 tests, monthly testing must be resumed [40 CFR 63.1350(a)(4)(ii) & (iii)]. This provision 

to reduce testing frequencies does not apply to daily Method 22 tests required for the finish mill. 

6.2 Periodic Method 9 Opacity Tests 

Whenever visible emissions are observed during a monthly or follow-up daily Method 22 test of the Cement 

Production System, an opacity test using the procedures described in USEPA Method 9 – Visual 

Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources must be performed to determine if the 10 

percent opacity limit is being met. If visible emissions are observed during a follow-up daily 6-minute 

Method 22 test, a 30-minute Method 9 test must be conducted within 24 hours of the follow-up observation; 

if visible emissions are observed during a monthly (or less frequent) one-minute Method 22 test, a six-minute 

Method 9 test must be conducted within one hour of the initial observation. 

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will ensure that trained and certified Method 9 

observers are available each day the Cement Production System is in operation. Copies of the Method 9 

procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the tests will be maintained in the 

Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 9 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 9 test, the observer should determine the opacity of visible emissions plume at points 

above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks and the stilling shed covering, as applicable. The 

duration of the Method 9 test will be either thirty minutes (after a follow-up daily Method 22 test of the 

finish mill) or six minutes (following a monthly Method 22 test of other parts of the system). Upon 

completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 9 Field Data Worksheet, and submit 

the worksheet to the Environmental Department. The Environmental Manager (or a designated 

representative) will maintain the Method 9 records for a period of five years. 

The observer will notify the Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) and initiate corrective 

action immediately if the Method 9 test indicates opacity exceeding 10 percent.

Emissions from Material Sources and Smoke Emissions from Flares. The Method 22 tests will be conducted 

by trained observers while the Cement Shipping System is in operation. The Maintenance Manager (or a 

designated representative) will schedule the Method 22 testing. Copies of the Method 22 procedures, Field 

Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the tests (stopwatch, etc.) will be maintained in the 

Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 22 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 22 test, the observer should determine the presence or absence of visible emissions at 

points above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 22 tests will be 

one minute. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 22 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Maintenance Manager, who will forward the results to the 
 

 

133 Title V Permit 10/26/04 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative). The Environmental Manager (or a designated 

representative) will maintain the Method 22 records for a period of five years. 

If visible emissions are noted during a monthly Method 22 test, the observer will immediately notify the 

Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) so that a six-minute Method 9 test can be started 

within one hour of the initial observation. 

Note: If monthly Method 22 tests indicate no visible emissions for six consecutive monthly tests, the test 

frequency may be reduced to once every six months. If no visible emissions are detected on the next sixmonth test, the test frequency may be reduced to once per year. Any time visible emissions are detected by 

these Method 22 tests, monthly testing must be resumed [40 CFR 63.1350(a)(4)(ii) & (iii)]. 

6.2 Periodic Method 9 Opacity Tests 

Whenever visible emissions are observed during a Method 22 test of the Cement Shipping System, an 

opacity test using the procedures described in USEPA Method 9 – Visual Determination of the Opacity of 

Emissions from Stationary Sources must be performed to determine if the 10 percent opacity limit is being 

met. If visible emissions are observed during the one-minute Method 22 test, a six-minute Method 9 test 

must be conducted within one hour. 

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will ensure that trained and certified Method 9 

observers are available each day the Method 22 testing is conducted on the Cement Shipping System. Copies 

of the Method 9 procedures, Field Data Worksheets, and equipment needed to conduct the tests will be 

maintained in the Environmental Department. 

As noted in the Method 9 procedures, observers will take care to perform the test from the proper location 

relative to the source and the sun, as well as to avoid degraded visibility of emissions caused by improper 

background contrast, ambient lighting, and observer position relative to lighting and wind. 

During the Method 9 test, the observer should determine the opacity of visible emissions plume at points 

above or beyond the baghouse exhaust vents and stacks. The duration of the Method 9 test will be six 

minutes. Upon completion of the test, the observer will record the results on the Method 9 Field Data 

Worksheet, and submit the worksheet to the Environmental Department. The Environmental Manager (or a 

designated representative) will maintain the Method 9 records for a period of five years. 

The observer will notify the Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) and initiate corrective 

action immediately if the Method 9 test indicates opacity exceeding 10 percent. 

7.0 Periodic Review and Update of this Operations and Maintenance Plan 

The Environmental Manager (or a designated representative) will review this Cement Shipping System 

Operations and Maintenance Plan once per year for adequacy and currency. Documentation of the annual 

review or update will be retained in Environmental Department files for five years.

7.0 Combustion Source Inspections 

The main combustion source (burner pipe) in our operation is inspected on an annual basis during 

winter turnaround by the Production Manager (or designated representative) as well as representatives from 

the Maintenance Department. 

The Production Manager (or designated representative) performs a thorough visual inspection for 

refractory damage and for damage or wear and tear on the tip of the burner pipe. Additional measures 

include inspecting for gaping holes and for even wear of metal around the tip. Devices called standoffs 

center the burner pipe. These standoffs are inspected to ensure the burner pipe is centered. A component 

known as the swirl channel is inspected for the wear pattern. In addition, a 6-inch metal washer is inspected 

closely for signs of wear and tear. Refractory located behind this metal washer is also inspected for signs of 

wear. 

The Maintenance Department also performs a visual inspection of the burner pipe and its components. The 

main focus of their inspection includes the burner tip, castable and the area inside the pipe where the coal is 

injected. If the tip of the nozzle is found to be burned, then the pipe is pulled out of service and replaced by a 

spare burner pipe that is kept on our plant site. The pipe taken out of service is sent for repair work on the 

castable and components. New parts are installed and the burner pipe is re-built for future use. Spare parts 

are kept on stock just for re-building of the burner pipe. Maintenance will also inspect the flame itself for 

signs of distortion. In addition, they will perform UT (Ultrasonic Testing) to check the thickness on the wear 

area where coal is injected.

 successive one-minute average temperatures. 

(4) Periods of time when one-minute averages are not available shall be ignored when 

 calculating three-hour rolling averages. When one-minute averages become 

 available, the first one-minute average is added to the previous 179 values to calculate 

 the three-hour rolling average. 

(5) When the operating status of the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is changed from 

off to on, or from on to off the calculation of the three-hour rolling average temperature 

must begin anew without considering previous readings.

 alternate monitoring requirements to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards of 

 this subpart, except for emission standards for THC, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 

 (j)(1) to (j)(6) of this section. 

(1) The Administrator will not approve averaging periods other than those specified in 

this section, unless the owner or operator documents, using data or information, that the 

longer averaging period will ensure that emissions do not exceed levels achieved during 

the performance test over any increment of time equivalent to the time required to 

conduct three runs of the performance test. 

(2) If the application to use an alternate monitoring requirement is approved, the owner 

or operator must continue to use the original monitoring requirement until approval is 

received to use another monitoring requirement. 

(3) The owner or operator shall submit the application for approval of alternate 

 monitoring requirements no later than the notification of performance test. The 
 

 

144 Title V Permit 10/26/04

 infeasibility, or the impracticality of using the required approach; 

(ii) A description of the proposed alternative monitoring requirement, including the 

 operating parameter to be monitored, the monitoring approach and technique, the 

 averaging period for the limit, and how the limit is to be calculateed; and 

(iii) Data or information documenting that the alternative monitoring requirement 

 would provide equivalent or better assurance of compliance with the relevant 

 emission standard. 

(4) The Administrator will notify the owner or operator of the approval or denial of the 

application within 90 calendar days after receipt of the original request, or within 60 

calendar days of the receipt of any supplementary information, whichever is later. 

The Administrator will not approve an alternative monitoring application unless it would 

provide equivalent or better assurance of compliance with the relevant emission 

standard. Before disapproving any alternate monitoring application, the Administrator 

will provide: 

(i) Notice of the information and findings upon which the intended disapproval is 

 based; and 

(ii) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present additional supporting 

 information before final action is taken on the application. This notice will 

 specify how much additional time is allowed for the owner or operator to 

 provide additional supporting information. 

(5) The owner or operator is responsible for submitting any supporting information in a 

timely manner to enable the Administrator to consider the application prior to the 

performance test. Neither submittal of an application, nor the Administrator's failure to 

prove or disprove the application relieves the owner or operator of the responsibility to 

comply with any provision of this subpart. 

(6) The Administrator may decide at any time, on a case-by-case basis that additional or 

 alternative operating limits, or alternative approaches to establishing operating limits, 

 are necessary to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards of this subpart.

Reporting, and Recordkeeping 

Reporting requirements

(a) The reporting provisions of subpart A of this part that apply and those that do not apply to 

 owners or operators of affected sources subject to this subpart are listed in Table 1 of this 

 subpart. If any State requires a report that contains all of the information required in a 

 report that contains all of the information required in a report listed in this section, the owner or 

operator may send the Administrator a copy of the report sent to the State to satisfy the 

requirements of this section for that report. 

(b) The owner or operator of an affected source shall comply with the reporting requirements 

specified in Sec. 63.10 of the general provisions of this part 63, subpart A as follows: 

 (1) As required by Sec. 63.10(d)(2), the owner or operator shall report the results of 

 performance tests as part of the notification of compliance status. 
 

 

145 Title V Permit 10/26/04 

 (2) As required by Sec. 63.10(d)(3), the owner or operator of an affected source shall 

 report the opacity results from tests required by Sec. 63.1349. 

 (3) As required by Sec. 63.10(d)(4), the owner or operator of an affected source who is 

 required to submit progress reports as a condition of receiving an extension of

 written extension of compliance. 

 (4) As required by Sec. 63.10(d)(5), if actions taken by an owner or operator during a 

 startup, shutdown, or malfunction of an affected source (including actions taken to 

 correct a malfunction) are consistent with the procedures specified in the source's 

 startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan specified in Sec. 63.6(e)(3), the owner or 

 operator shall state such information in a semiannual report. Reports shall only be 

 required if a startup, shutdown, or malfunction occurred during the reporting period. 

 The startup, shutdown, and malfunction report may be submitted simultaneously 

 with the excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance reports; 

 and 

(5) Any time an action taken by an owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, or 

 malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) is not consistent with 

 the procedures in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the owner or operator 

 shall make an immediate report of the actions taken for that event within 2 working 

 days, by telephone call or facsimile (FAX) transmission. The immediate report shall 

 be followed by a letter, certified by the owner or operator or other responsible 

 official, explaining the circumstances of the event, the reasons for not following the 

 startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and whether any excess emissions and/or 

 parameter monitoring exceedances are believed to have occurred. 

 (6) As required by Sec. 63.10(e)(2), the owner or operator shall submit a written 

 report of the results of the performance evaluation for the continuous monitoring 

 system required by Sec. 63.8(e). The owner or operator shall submit the report 

 simultaneously with the results of the performance test. 

 (7) As required by Sec. 63.10(e)(2), the owner or operator of an affected source using a 

 continuous opacity monitoring system to determine opacity compliance during any 

 performance test required under Sec. 63.7 and described in Sec. 63.6(d)(6) shall report 

the results of the continuous opacity monitoring system performance 

 evaluation conducted under Sec. 63.8(e). 

(8) As required by Sec. 63.10(e)(3), the owner or operator of an affected source equipped 

with a continuous emission monitor shall submit an excess emissions and continuous 

monitoring system performance report for any event when the continuous monitoring 

system data indicate the source is not in compliance with the applicable emission 

limitation or operating parameter limit. 

 (9) The owner or operator shall submit a summary report semiannually which contains 

 the information specified in Sec. 63.10(e)(3)(vi). In addition, the summary report 

 shall include: 

 (i) All exceedences of maximum control device inlet gas temperature limits 

 specified in Sec. 63.1344(a) and (b); 

 (ii) All failures to calibrate thermocouples and other temperature 

 sensors as required under Sec. 63.1350(f)(7) of this subpart; and 

 (iii) All failures to maintain the activated carbon injection rate, and the activated 

 carbon injection carrier gas flow rate or pressure 
 

 

146 Title V Permit 10/26/04 

 drop, as applicable, as required under Sec. 63.1344(c). 

 (iv) The results of any combustion system component inspections conducted within 

 the reporting period as required under Sec. 63.1350(i). 

(v)All failures to comply with any provision of the operation and 

 maintenance plan developed in accordance with Sec. 63.1350(a). 

 (10) If the total continuous monitoring system downtime for any CEM 

 or any continuous monitoring system (CMS) for the reporting period 

 is ten percent or greater of the total operating time for the reporting 

 period, the owner or operator shall submit an excess emissions and continuous 

 monitoring system performance report along with the summary report. 

 40 CFR 63.1354 

Recordkeeping requirements

(a) The permittee shall maintain files of all information (including all reports and notifications) 

 required by this section recorded in a form suitable and readily available for inspection and 

 review as required by Sec. 63.10(b)(1). The files shall be retained for at least five years 

 following the date of each occurrence, measurement, maintenance, corrective action, report, 

 or record. At a minimum, the most recent two years of data shall be retained on site. The 

 remaining three years of data may be retained off site. The files may be maintained on 

 microfilm, on a computer, on floppy disks, on magnetic tape, or on 

 microfiche. 

(b) The owner or operator shall maintain records for each affected source as required by Sec. 

 63.10(b)(2) and (b)(3) of this part; and

 Temporary, conditioned exemption from particulate matter and opacity standards

(a) Subject to the limitations of paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section, an owner or 

 operator conducting PM CEMS correlation tests (that is, correlation with manual stack 

 methods) is exempt from: 

 (1) Any particulate matter and opacity standards of part 60 or part 63 of this chapter that 

 are applicable to cement kilns and in-line kiln/raw mills. 

(2) Any permit or other emissions or operating parameter or other limitation on 

 workplace practices that are applicable to cement kilns and in-line kiln raw mills 

 to ensure compliance with any particulate matter and opacity standards of this part or 

 part 60 of this chapter. 
 

 

147 Title V Permit 10/26/04 

(b) The permittee must develop a PM CEMS correlation test plan. The plan must be submitted 

 to the Administrator for approval at least 90 days before the correlation test is scheduled to 

 be conducted. 

 The plan must include: 

 (1) The number of test conditions and the number of runs for each test condition; 

 (2) The target particulate matter emission level for each test condition; 

 (3) How the operation of the affected source will be modified to attain the desired 

 particulate matter emission rate; and 

(4) The anticipated normal particulate matter emission level. 

(c) The Administrator will review and approve or disapprove the correlation test plan in 

 accordance with Sec. 63.7(c)(3)(i) and (iii). If the Administrator fails to approve or 

 disapprove the correlation test plan within the time period specified in Sec. 63.7(c)(3)(iii), 

 the plan shall be considered approved, unless the Administrator has requested additional 

 information. 

(d) The stack sampling team must be on-site and prepared to perform correlation testing no
