Dear Permit Holder:

Enclosed please find a final Air Pollution Permit-to-Install (PTI) which will allow you to install or modify the described 

emissions unit(s) in a manner indicated in the permit. Because this permit contains several conditions and restrictions, we 

urge you to read it carefully. Please complete a survey at www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/permitsurvey.aspx and give us 

feedback on your permitting experience. We value your opinion.

The issuance of this PTI is a final action of the Director and may be appealed to the Environmental Review Appeals 

Commission ("ERAC") under Section 3745.04 of the Ohio Revised Code. The appeal must be in writing and describe the 

action complained of and the grounds for the appeal. The appeal must be filed with the ERAC within thirty (30) days after 

notice of the Director's action. A filing fee of $70.00 must be submitted to the ERAC with the appeal, although the ERAC, 

has discretion to reduce the amount of the filing fee if you can demonstrate (by affidavit) that payment of the full amount of 

the fee would cause extreme hardship. If you file an appeal of this action, you must notify Ohio EPA of the filing of the 

appeal (by providing a copy to the Director) within three (3) days of filing your appeal with the ERAC. Ohio EPA requests 

that a copy of the appeal also be provided to the Ohio Attorney General's Office, Environmental Enforcement Section. An

11. Construction of New Sources(s) and Authorization to Install

a) This permit does not constitute an assurance that the proposed source will operate in compliance 

with all Ohio laws and regulations. This permit does not constitute expressed or implied assurance 

that the proposed facility has been constructed in accordance with the application and terms and 

conditions of this permit. The action of beginning and/or completing construction prior to obtaining 

the Director's approval constitutes a violation of OAC rule 3745-31-02. Furthermore, issuance of 

this permit does not constitute an assurance that the proposed source will operate in compliance 

with all Ohio laws and regulations. Issuance of this permit is not to be construed as a waiver of any 

rights that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (or other persons) may have against the 

applicant for starting construction prior to the effective date of the permit. Additional facilities shall 

be installed upon orders of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency if the proposed facilities 

cannot meet the requirements of this permit or cannot meet applicable standards.

b) If applicable, authorization to install any new emissions unit included in this permit shall terminate 

within eighteen months of the effective date of the permit if the owner or operator has not 

undertaken a continuing program of installation or has not entered into a binding contractual 

obligation to undertake and complete within a reasonable time a continuing program of installation. 

This deadline may be extended by up to 12 months if application is made to the Director within a 

reasonable time before the termination date and the party shows good cause for any such 

extension.

c) The permittee may notify Ohio EPA of any emissions unit that is permanently shut down (i.e., the 

emissions unit has been physically removed from service or has been altered in such a way that it 

can no longer operate without a subsequent "modification" or "installation" as defined in OAC 

Chapter 3745-31) by submitting a certification from the authorized official that identifies the date on 

which the emissions unit was permanently shut down. Authorization to operate the affected 

emissions unit shall cease upon the date certified by the authorized official that the emissions unit 

was permanently shut down. At a minimum, notification of permanent shut down shall be made or 

confirmed through completion of the annual PER covering the last period of operation of the 

affected emissions unit(s).

d) The provisions of this permit shall cease to be enforceable for each affected emissions unit after the 

date on which an emissions unit is permanently shut down (i.e., emissions unit has been physically 

removed from service or has been altered in such a way that it can no longer operate without a 

subsequent "modification" or "installation" as defined in OAC Chapter 3745-31). All records relating 

to any permanently shutdown emissions unit, generated while the emissions unit was in operation, 

must be maintained in accordance with law. All reports required by this permit must be submitted 

for any period an affected emissions unit operated prior to permanent shut down. At a minimum, 

the permit requirements must be evaluated as part of the PER covering the last period the 

emissions unit operated.

b. the magnitude of the deviation at that time;

c. the date the investigation was conducted;

d. the name(s) of the personnel who conducted the investigation; and 

e. the findings and recommendations.

In response to each required investigation to determine the cause of a deviation, the 

permittee shall take prompt corrective action to bring the operation of the control 

equipment within the acceptable range specified in this permit, unless the permittee 

determines that corrective action is not necessary and documents the reasons for that 

determination and the date and time the deviation ended. The permittee shall maintain 

records of the following information for each corrective action taken:

a. a description of the corrective action;

b. the date corrective action was completed;

c. the date and time the deviation ended;

d. the total period of time (in minutes) during which there was a deviation;

e. the pressure drop readings immediately after the corrective action was 

implemented.

Investigation and records required by this paragraph do not eliminate the need to comply 

with the requirements of OAC rule 3745-15-06 if it is determined that a malfunction has 

occurred.

This range or limit on the pressure drop across the rotary filter is effective for the 

duration of this permit, unless revisions are requested by the permittee and approved in 

writing by Ohio EPA, Central District Office. The permittee may request revisions to the 

permitted limit or range for the pressure drop based upon information obtained during 

future testing that demonstrate compliance with the allowable particulate emission rate

for the controlled emissions unit(s). In addition, approved revisions to the range or limit 

will not constitute a relaxation of the monitoring requirements of this permit and may be 

incorporated into this permit by means of an administrative permit modification.

(3) The permittee shall perform daily checks, when the emissions unit is in operation and 

when the weather conditions allow, for any visible particulate emissions from the stack 

serving this emissions unit. The presence or absence of any visible emissions shall be 

noted in an operations log. If visible emissions are observed, the permittee shall also 

note the following in the operations log:

a. the color of the emissions;

b. whether the emissions are representative of normal operations;

c. if the emissions are not representative of normal operations, the cause of the 

abnormal emissions;

d. the total duration of any visible emission incident; and

e. any corrective actions taken to minimize or eliminate the visible emissions.

If visible emissions are present, a visible emission incident has occurred. The observer 

does not have to document the exact start and end times for the visible emission 

incident under item (d) above or continue the daily check until the incident has ended. 

The observer may indicate that the visible emission incident was continuous during the 

observation period (or, if known, continuous during the operation of the emissions unit). 

With respect to the documentation of corrective actions, the observer may indicate that 

no corrective actions were taken if the visible emissions were representative of normal 

operations, or specify the minor corrective actions that were taken to ensure that the 

emissions unit continued to operate under normal conditions, or specify the corrective 

actions that were taken to eliminate abnormal visible emissions.

e) Reporting Requirements

(1) The permittee shall submit quarterly deviation (excursion) reports that identify the 

following:

a. each period of time (start time and date, and end time and date) when the 

pressure drop across the rotary filter was outside of the acceptable range;

b. any period of time (start time and date, and end time and date) when the 

emissions unit(s) was/were in operation and the process emissions were not 

vented to the rotary filter;

c. each incident of deviation described in Aa@ (above) where a prompt investigation 

was not conducted;

d. each incident of deviation described in Aa@ where prompt corrective action, that 

would bring the pressure drop into compliance with the acceptable range, was 

determined to be necessary and was not taken; and

e. each incident of deviation described in Aa@ where proper records were not 

maintained for the investigation and/or the corrective action(s), as identified in the 

monitoring and record keeping requirements of this permit.

The quarterly deviation (excursion) reports shall be submitted in accordance with the 

reporting requirements of the Standard Terms and Conditions of this permit.

(2) The permittee shall submit semiannual written reports that identify:

a. all days during which any visible particulate emissions were observed from the 

stack serving this emissions unit; and

e) Reporting Requirements

(1) The permittee shall submit quarterly pressure drop deviation (excursion) reports that 

identify all periods of time during which the pressure drop across the baghouse did not 

comply with the allowable range established in Section c)(1) above. The report shall 

include a copy of such record and shall be sent to the Director (Ohio EPA, Central 

District Office) following the end of the quarter.

(2) The deviation reports shall be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified 

in Part 1 - General Terms and Conditions, Section A.2.b of this permit.

(3) The permittee shall submit semiannual written reports which (a) identify all days during 

which any visible particulate emissions were observed from the stack serving this 

emissions unit and (b) describe any corrective actions taken to eliminate the visible 

particulate emissions. These reports shall be submitted to the Director (Ohio EPA,

Central District Office) by January 31 and July 31 of each year and shall cover the 

previous 6-month period.

(4) The permittee shall submit within 30 days of emissions testing, documentation of the 

determined pressure drop normal operating range, in inches of water, for the baghouse if 

the Ohio EPA determines this is more appropriate than the range established during 

emission testing.

f) Testing Requirements

(1) The permittee shall conduct, or have conducted, emission testing for this emissions unit 

in accordance with the following requirements:

a. Emission Limitation: 

Limit for visible particulate emissions- twenty (20) percent opacity, as a sixminute average.

Applicable Compliance Method:

If required pursuant to OAC rule 3745-15-04, compliance shall be determined by 

visible emission evaluations performed in accordance with OAC rule 3745-17-

03(B)(1) using the methods and procedures specified in U.S.EPA Reference 

Method 9.

b. Emission Limitation: 

0.462 lb/hr and 2.05 tons/yr PE.

Applicable Compliance Method:

Compliance with the hourly emission limit shall be demonstrated using maximum 

process throughput and the Owens Corning (OC) specific emission factor 

contained in the permittee's permit application received on June 30, 2005.

E(PE) = OC-specific emission factor (lb/ton) x maximum throughput (tons/hr)

Compliance with the annual emission limit shall be demonstrated by multiplying 

the allowable hourly emission rate by 8760 hours/year and dividing by 2000 

lbs/ton. Compliance with the tons per year emission limitation shall be assumed 

provided compliance with the hourly emission limitation is maintained.

Compliance with the hourly emission rate shall be demonstrated via testing 

required in Section f)(2).

c. Emission Limitation: 

0.14 lb/hr and 0.62 tons/yr SO2.

Applicable Compliance Method:

Compliance with the hourly emission limit shall be demonstrated using maximum 

process throughput and the Owens Corning (OC) specific emission factor 

contained in the permittee's permit application received on June 30, 2005.

E(SO2) = OC-specific emission factor (lb/ton) x maximum throughput (tons/hr)

Compliance with the annual emission limit shall be demonstrated by multiplying 

the allowable hourly emission rate by 8760 hours/year and dividing by 2000 

lbs/ton. Compliance with the tons per year emission limitation shall be assumed 

provided compliance with the hourly emission limitation is maintained.

If required pursuant to OAC rule 3745-15-04, compliance shall be demonstrated 

in accordance with the requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, 

Method 6.

(2) The permittee shall conduct, or have conducted, emission testing for this emissions unit 

in accordance with the following requirements:

a. The emission testing shall be conducted within 180 days of initial start-up.

b. The emission testing shall be conducted to demonstrate compliance with the 

allowable mass emission rates for particulate matter and to determine the 

emission factor in pounds per ton of glass produced.

c. The following test method(s) shall be employed to demonstrate compliance with 

the allowable mass emission rate(s): for particulate matter, Method 5 of 40 CFR 

Part 60, Appendix A, and Method 202 of 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M.

d. The test(s) shall be conducted while the emissions unit is operating at or near its 

maximum capacity, unless otherwise specified or approved by Ohio EPA, Central 

District Office.

e. Not later than 30 days prior to the proposed test date(s), the permittee shall 

submit an "Intent to Test" notification to Ohio, EPA Central District Office. The 

"Intent to Test" notification shall describe in detail the proposed test methods and 

procedures, the emissions unit operating parameters, the time(s) and date(s) of 

the test(s), and the person(s) who will be conducting the test(s). Failure to submit 

such notification for review and approval prior to the test(s) may result in Ohio 

EPA, Central District Office refusal to accept the results of the emission test(s).

f. Personnel from Ohio EPA, Central District Office shall be permitted to witness 

the test(s), examine the testing equipment, and acquire data and information 

necessary to ensure that the operation of the emissions unit and the testing 

procedures provide a valid characterization of the emissions from the emissions 

unit and/or the performance of the control equipment.
