In the event of a discrepancy between the continuous opacity

monitoring data and any observations performed in accordance with

paragraph (B)(l)(a) of this rule during the same time period, an

evaluation may be performed by the Ohio EPA to assess the accuracy

ofthe continuous opacity monitoring data (which may include an audit

of the continuous opacity monitoring system performed in accordance

with EPA doeumeftts 340/1-86-010 (recommended quality assurance

procedures for opacity continuous emission monitoring systems) and

(2) For the purpose of determining compliance with paragraph (B)(2) of rule

3745-17-07 of the Administrative Code, pertaining to visible particulate

emissions from coke oven batteries:

(a) Charging operations:

(i) The charging period shall begin when the coal from the charging

system starts to enter the oven and shall end when the last charge

port lid is replaced. Such charging period shall not include the

period oftime during which the port lids are reopened in order to

sweep spilled coal into the oven.
(

3745-17-03 3

(ii) The observer shall stand on the topside of the coke oven battery

such that a good view of all charge ports of the oven being

charged and the charging system is possible. The observer may

change position to obtain a clear view of all oven ports, drop

sleeves, and hoppers. During the charging period, the observer

shall watch all the potential emission sources including the charge

ports and the entire charging system. Upon observing the release

of any visible particulate emission, an accumulative stopwatch

shall be started. The watch shall be stopped when the visible

particulate emission stops and shall be restarted when a visible

particulate emission reappears. The observer shall continue this

procedure for the entire charging period. If visible particulate

emissions should occur simultaneously from several points during

a charge, the visible particulate emissions shall be timed

collectively as one continuous visible particulate emission.

Furthermore, visible particulate emissions which may start from

one source immediately after those from another source shall be

timed as one continuous visible particulate emission. The

following visible particulate emissions shall not be timed: steam

vapor, visible particulate emissions from burning coal that is

spilled on top of the oven or oven lid during charging, visible

particulate emissions emitted from any equipment other than the

charging system or charging ports, visible particulate emissions

from closed standpipes during charging, visible particulate

emissions emitted from coke oven doors which may rise above

the battery and which may be windblown across its topside, and

visible particulate emissions that drift from the top of the

charging system, but have already been timed as a visible

particulate emission from the drop sleeve below the hopper. The

time recorded on the stopwatch shall represent the total time that

visible particulate emissions are observed during a charge. The

number of seconds of visible particulate emissions observed for

each charge shall be recorded on a data sheet.

(iii) A minimum of six consecutive charges shall be observed and the

time in seconds of visible particulate emissions during such

charges shall be totalled. If the observations of a set of

consecutive charges is interrupted by an event not in the control

of an observer, then the data for the interrupted charge(s) shall be

discarded and additional charge(s) shall be observed until the total

number of consecutive charges equals at least six. For purposes of

this paragraph, charges immediately preceding and following any

interrupted or discarded charge(s) shall be deemed consecutive.
3745-17-03 4

(b) Offtake piping and charging hole lids:

(i) The observer shall walk down the length ofthe top ofthe battery and

shall complete the inspection in an expeditious manner consistent

with the safety of the observer. When safety conditions permit,

the observer will walk near the center of the battery, but may

deviate from this path to obtain a better view of any lid or offtake

piping system. Separate traverses may be performed for offtake

piping and charging hole lids. If the battery has two collector

mains, the observer may make two traverses when observing

visible particulate emissions from offtake piping. If an observer

elects to make two traverses for a battery which has two collector

mains, the observer shall inspect one collector main during the

fIrst traverse and inspect the other collector main during the

second traverse. During each traverse, the observer shall record

the time ofthe beginning and end of each traverse and the identity

of any charging hole or offtake piping system having visible

particulate emissions.

(ii) Visible particulate emissions from offtake plpmg shall include

emissions from cracks and/or defects in the piping, emissions

from the jointure of the battery to the standpipe, emissions from

the standpipe to the gooseneck and gooseneck to the collector

main, emissions from the seal between the gooseneck and

gooseneck lid, and emissions from opened offtake lids. Visible

particulate emissions from charging holes shall include emissions

from the seal between the charging hole or stationary jumper pipe

lid and its casting, emissions from the charging hole or stationary

jumper pipe castinglbattery interface, and emissions from opened

charging holes or stationary jumper pipe lids. Visible particulate

emissions which shall not be included are emissions caused by

maintenance work in progress at an oven, emissions caused by the

vaporization ofwet luting materials, emissions caused by burning

or smoldering excess topside coal, and emissions from charging

ports and offtake piping during the charging operation. Visible

particulate emissions from open offtake piping and charging

holes, from a maximum of three ovens, shall be exempt.

Regardless ofthe number of points from which visible particulate

emissions are observed from anyone offtake piping system, the

maximum entry for any oven with a single offtake system shall be

one and the maximum entry for any oven with two offtake piping

systems shall be two. The maximum number of charging hole

leaks recorded for any oven shall not exceed the number of

charging holes on that oven.

(
(

(

3745-17-03 5

(iii) The percentage of charging holes and offtake piping with visible

particulate emissions shall be determined by totalling the number

of charging holes or offtake piping with visible particulate

emissions, including that number of opened charging holes and

offtake piping with visible particulate emissions which exceeds

the amount which is allowed for three ovens, dividing that

number by the total number of observed charging holes or offtake

piping on operating ovens, and multiplying the result by one

hundred per cent. For purposes ofthis paragraph, any oven which

is not out of service for rebuild or maintenance work that is

extensive enough to require the oven to be skipped in the

charging sequence shall constitute an operating oven. Further, any

opened charging hole or offtake piping lids on operating ovens

shall be included as observed charging holes and offtake piping.

(c) Oven doors:

(i) The observer shall observe visible particulate emISSIOns by

completely walking around the coke oven battery at a steady

distance from a position just outside the pusher machine and

quencher car tracks as close to the battery as safety and visibility

conditions permit. The observer shall traverse each side of a

battery expeditiously, recording the time ofthe beginning and end

of each side traverse, the identity of each door having visible

particulate emissions, and the identity of any door not observable

during the traverse. A visible particulate emission from an

individual door shall be noted on an inspection sheet when an

observer determines any visible particulate emissions are

occurring from any location on the perimeter of a coke oven door

or chuck door. Visible particulate emissions observed at the top of

the battery above a specific oven door but not clearly attributable

to such door shall not be counted in this procedure. An observer

shall observe each oven door only once while scanning the

perimeter for any visible particulate emissions. After a brief scan

of an oven door, the observer shall move along his traverse,

checking subsequent doors on the battery in a like manner. If a

temporary machine obstruction occurs which blocks the view of a

series of ovens, the ovens shall be bypassed and the remaining

oven doors on that side ofthe battery shall be observed. After the

traverse of such side of the battery, the bypassed oven doors and

only those oven doors, may be reobserved. After completing one

side, the observer shall proceed directly to the opposite side ofthe

battery and proceed to perform a like traverse while repeating the

above procedures. A row oftwo or more continuous batteries may
3745-17-03 6

be inspected by observing all ofthe pusher side doors and then all

ofthe coke side doors.

(ii) The percentage of oven doors with visible particulate emissions

shall be determined by totalling the number of doors with visible

particulate emissions, dividing that sum by the total number of

observed doors on operating ovens, and multiplying the result by

one hundred per cent. For purposes of this paragraph, any oven

which is not out of service for a rebuild or maintenance work that

is extensive enough to require that oven to be skipped in the

charging sequence shall constitute an operating oven. Further, any

doors that are removed from operating ovens shall constitute

unobserved doors.

(d) For any pushing operations, visible particulate emISSIOns shall be

determined according to test ffiethod Rme 8:S set forth i:H: the "l.t]9]geRdix

OR Test Methods" in 40 CPR, P8:rt 60, "St8:Rda-rds of PenoffR8:Rce for

upon sets of twelve consecutive visible partieulate emission

observations recorded at fifteen-second intervals.

(b) Opacity observations shall be made from a position that provides the

observer a clear view of the source and the fugitive dust with the sun

behind the observer. A position at least fifteen feet from the source is

recommended. To the extent possible, the line of sight should be

approximately perpendicular to the flow of fugitive dust and to the

longer axis ofthe emissions. Except as provided in paragraphs (B)(3)(d)

and (B)(3)(e) of this rule, opacity observations shall be made for the

point of highest opacity within the fugitive dust. Since the highest

opacity usually occurs immediately above or downwind of the source,

the observer should normally concentrate on the area(s) of the plume

close to the source. For purposes of paragraphs (B)(7)(b) and (B)(8)(b)

of rule 3745-17-07 of the Administrative Code, observations shall be

made where the fugitive dust plume is distinctly separate from the

above the surface ofthe roadway or parking area. Two additional

observations shall be taken at the same point as the initial

observation and at five seconds and ten seconds after the initial

reading. The same procedure shall be conducted for the next three

vehicle passes. If any interruption in observations during any

vehicle pass occurs, the observation(s) taken during that vehicle

pass shall be discarded and the next vehicle pass shall be

observed. For vehicle traffic on top of any material storage pile,

the observer may observe passes of the same vehicle or vehicles,

at identical of different points atop the pile, in order to obtain

B. Change to dust control programs in Section A ofthis Appendix:

1. The facility may petition the Ohio EPA for written approval oftreatment

methods, treatment schedules and procedures or reporting requirements

different from those required herein. Such alternative practices must be

demonstrated to the Ohio EPA and the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency to result in equivalent dust control effectiveness in accordance

with the document entitled Control ofOpen Fugitive Dust Sources (EPA450/3-88-008). The facility reserves the right to contest any disapproval of

such petition in the appropriate judicial forum.

2. In the event that the facility certifies that the use of all or a portion of an

unpaved roadway identified in Figure I ofthis Appendix has been

discontinued, the dust suppressant solution application program for that

roadway may be terminated or reduced. Ifthe facility begins to utilize any

new unpaved roadway, parking area, or other vehicular activity area not

shown in Figure I ofthis Appendix, it shall notify the Director in the

reports required pursuant to this Appendix and treat the roadway or area in

accordance with the procedures contained herein.

3. The Director shall not be precluded from requiring adjustments, including

increased chemical suppressant application, ifon-site inspections reveal

that the program contained herein does not prevent excessive visible dust

entrainment and emissions from a particular roadway or surface.

4. In the event that an unpaved roadway that has been chemically treated

becomes completely hardened and cemented by such treatment so as to

become like a paved road as demonstrated by observation, by compaction

tests and silt analyses or in the event that the facility paves any unpaved

roadway or area, that roadway or area shall be treated as a paved surface

and shall be subject to the requirements ofparagraph (1)(1) ofrule 3745-

\

(A) This rule applies to installations in which fuel, including any product or by-product

of a manufacturing process, is burned for the primary purpose of producing heat or

power by indirect heat transfer.

(B) For purposes of this rule the actual heat input shall be the aggregate heat content of

all fuels whose products of combustion emanate from a single fuel burning unit.

The maximum capacity shall be the equipment manufacturer's or designer's

guaranteed maximum heat input, whichever is greater. Unless otherwise specified

in paragraphs (B)(I) to (B)(4) of this rule, the total heat input of all fuel burning

units on a plant or premises which are united either physically or operationally shall

be the total of the maximum capacities for all such units. The total heat input shall

be used for determining the maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions

per million Btu of actual heat input from any single fuel burning unit.

(I) Any new or existing fuel burning equipment which is fired only with gaseous

fuels and/or number two fuel oil and which is physically or operationally

united with other fuel burning equipment on a plant or premises shall not be

included by the director for purposes of determining the total heat input and

maximum allowable particulate emissions per million Btu of actual heat input

for such other fuel burning equipment. The maximum allowable amount of

particulate emissions for any new or existing fuel burning equipment which is

fired only with gaseous fuels, excluding blast furnace gas, and/or number two

fuel oil shall be Q..020 pound per million Btu of actual heat input. The

maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions for any new or existing

fuel burning equipment which is fired only with blast furnace gas or any

mixture of blast furnace gas with other gaseous fuels and/or number two fuel

oil shall be Q..040 pound per million Btu of actual heat input.

(2) Stand-by fuel burning equipment which is physically or operationally united

with other fuel burning equipment on a plant or premises shall be exempted

by the director for purposes of determining total heat input and maximum

allowable particulate emissions per million Btu of actual heat input for such

other fuel burning equipment. Except as provided in paragraph (B)(I) of this

rule, the total heat input for such other fuel burning equipment shall be used

for determining the maximum allowable amount of particulate emissions per

million Btu of actual heat input for any stand-by fuel burning equipment.

unreasonable (in terms of cost-effectiveness) to employ an enclosure (or

hooding) and control device for the control ofthe particulate emissions:

and

(m) Jet engine test cells and stands.

(2) Emission restriction requirements for sources, which are not subject to the

requirements of paragraphs (B)(4) te, (B)(5), (B)(6) or (C) of this rule or

which are not exempted under paragraph (A)(l) of this rule, are specified in

"Figure II" and in "Table I" in the appendix to this rule. "Figure II" in the

appendix to this rule relates uncontrolled mass rate of emission (abscissa) to

maximum allowable mass rate of emission (ordinate). A source complies with

the requirements of "Figure II" in the appendix to this rule if its particulate

emission rate, even during operation at the maximum capacity of the source,

is always equal to or less than the allowable mass rate of emission of

particulate matter (A) based upon the uncontrolled mass rate of emission (U).

"Table I" in the appendix to this rule relates process weight of materials

introduced into any specific process (at its maximum capacity) that may

result in particulate emissions to maximum allowable mass rate of emission.

A source complies with the requirements of "Table I" in the appendix to this

rule if its rate of particulate emission, even during operation at the process

weight rate (P) which reflects the maximum capacity ofthe source, is always

equal to or less than the allowable rate of particulate emission specified by

the appropriate equation appearing at the bottom of "Table I" in the appendix

to this rule and incorporating the process weight rate (P) which reflects the

maximum capacity ofthe source. Except as otherwise indicated in paragraphs

(A)(2)(a) to (A)(2)(c) of this rule, the more stringent ofthe two requirements

shall apply.

(a) "Figure II" in the appendix to this rule shall not apply:

(i) To any source where the uncontrolled mass rate of emission cannot

be ascertained;

(ii) To any source with an uncontrolled mass rate of emission of less

than ten pounds per hour; or

(iii) To any fluid catalytic cracking unit at a petroleum refmery.

(b) "Table I" in the appendix to this rule shall not apply:

(i) To any source where the process weight rate cannot be ascertained;

(ii) To any source which is located within the counties specified in

paragraphs (B)(2) and (B)(3) of this rule, except as provided in

paragraph (A)(2)(c) ofthis rule.

(c) "Table I" in the appendix to this rule shall apply to any fluid catalytic

cracking unit at a petroleum refmery.

(3) For purposes of "Figure II" in the appendix to this rule, the total uncontrolled

mass rate of emission from all similar process units at a plant,' such units

being united either physically or operationally, or otherwise located in close

proximity to each other, shall be used for determining the maximum

allowable mass rate of particulate emissions that pass through a stack or

stacks from all such units.

(4) For purposes of "Table I" in the appendix to this rule, process weight per hour is

the total weight of all materials introduced into any single, specific process

(at its maximum capacity) that may cause any emission of particulate matter.

Solid fuels charged will be considered as part of the process weight, but

liquid and gaseous fuels and combustion air will not. For a cyclical or batch

operation, the process weight per hour will be derived by dividing the total

process weight by the number of hours in one complete operation from the

beginning of any given process to the completion thereof, excluding any time

during which the equipment is idle. For a continuous operation, the process

weight per hour will be derived by dividing the process weight for a given

period of time by the number of hours in that period. For fluid catalytic

cracking units at petroleum refmeries, "process weight" shall mean the total

weight of recirculated catalyst and cold catalyst introduced into the catalyst

regenerator.

(5) An air contaminant source can be subject to both of the requirements of rule

3745-17-08 of the Administrative Code and this rule if it is a fugitive dust

source, as defmed in paragraph (B)(7) of 3745-17-01 of the Administrative

Code, and also emits, by means of one or more stacks, particulate matter that

is subject to a limitation(s) in rule 3745-17-08 ofthe Administrative Code.

The allowable rate of particulate emission (E) for process weight rates

(P) not specifically listed in this table shall be obtained by use of the

following equations: For 0 < (P) < 0.05, (E) = 0.551; for 0.05 < (P) <

30, (E) = 4.10 (p)O.67; and for (P) -> 30, (E) = 55.0 (p)O.ll - 40.0.
