CEMEX Title V Operating Permit

 Introduction

The CEMEX, Inc., Knoxville Facility manufactures cement and masonry products 

by the thermal processing of specially blended sources of calcium, aluminum, silica, 

and iron. The primary source of fuel for this thermal conversion is coal. However, 

natural gas, petroleum products, tires, and used oil are also utilized as an energy 

source. In addition, non-hazardous plant generated waste such as oily 

materials/rags/absorbent and spill clean-up materials are periodically transferred to 

the kiln. 

Used oils and other supplemental fuels (e.g. natural gas, petroleum products) are 

utilized on an intermittent basis and provide a mechanism to respond quickly and 

effectively to variations in the burning coal. The used oil can also be used at times 

when the coal mill is operating below production needs or to enhance the BTU input 

to the kiln. In addition, during periods of electrical/natural gas outages the 

petroleum products and used oil can provide sufficient heat to the kiln to prevent 

major damages to the system from sudden loss of electricity. 

The manufacturing of cement and masonry products involves the grinding and 

special blending of raw materials such as mined limestone, clay and sand. Other 

non-mining sources of calcium, aluminum, silica, and iron are also available. These 

non-mining sources are typically non-hazardous by-products that can be 

beneficially used as an alternative or additive to limestone, clay and sand mixtures.

F.1.c(3)) 

A17. Definitions. The terms not otherwise defined in this permit have the meaning 

assigned to them in the referenced regulations. 

A18. Duty to supplement and correct. Duty to supplement or correct application. Any 

applicant who fails to submit any relevant facts or who has submitted incorrect information 

in a permit application shall, upon becoming aware of such failure or incorrect submittal, 

promptly submit such supplementary facts or corrected information. In addition, an 

applicant shall provide additional information as necessary to address any requirements that 

become applicable to the source after the date it filed a complete application but prior to 

release of a draft permit. (Section 25.70-E.2) 

A19. Asbestos. The permittee shall comply with 40 CFR part 61, subpart M (asbestos 
NESHAP) when conducting any renovation or demolition at the facility. 

A20. Stratospheric ozone and climate protection. The permittee shall comply with the 

standards for recycling and emissions reduction as provided in 40 CFR part 82, subpart F. 

A21. Emergency provision.

(1) Definition. An "emergency" means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably 

unforeseeable events beyond the control of the source, including acts of God, which 

situation 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 not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly designed 

equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, careless or improper operation, or 

operator error. 

(2) Effect of an emergency. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action 

brought for noncompliance with such technology-based emission limitations if the 

conditions of paragraph 3 of this section are met. 

(3) The affirmative defense of emergency shall 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 permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; 

(c) During the period of the emergency the permittee took all reasonable steps 

to minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the emission standards, or 

other requirements in the permit; and 

(d) The permittee immediately notified the Department by phone or fax and 

submitted written notice of the emergency to the Department within 24 

hours of the time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the 

emergency. This notice fulfills the requirement of paragraph A.16.(2) of 

this permit. This notice must contain a description of the emergency, any 

steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken. 

(4) In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an 

emergency has the burden of proof. 

(5) This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any 

applicable requirement. (Section 25.70-F.7) 

A22. Off-permit changes. 
(1) The Department will allow changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the permit, 

other than those described in Section 25.70.P, to be made without a permit revision 

providing they meet the requirements of 25.70.O.1.a through c. 

(a) Each such change shall meet all applicable requirements and shall not 

violate any existing permit term or condition. 

(b) Sources must provide contemporaneous written notice to the Department 

and EPA of each such change, except for changes that qualify as 

insignificant under the provisions adopted pursuant to 25.70.E.3. Such 

written notice shall describe each such change, including the date, any 

change in emissions, pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirement 

that would apply as a result of the change. 

(c) Reserved 

(d) The permittee shall keep a record describing changes made at the source 

that result in emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable 

requirement, but not otherwise regulated under the permit, and the 

emissions resulting from those changes. 

(2) General off-permit prohibitions 

Sources are prohibited from making, without a permit revision, changes 

that are not addressed or prohibited by the Part 70 permit, if such changes 

are subject to any requirements under Title IV of the Act or are 

modifications under any provision of Title I of the Act. (Section 25.70-P 

and O) 

A23. Section 502(b)(10) changes.

Consistent with paragraph 2 of this section the Department will allow changes within a 

permitted facility without requiring a permit revision if the changes are not modifications 

under any provision of Title I of the Act and the changes do not exceed the emissions 

allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of emissions or in the terms 

of total emissions): provided that the facility provides the Administrator and the 

Department with written notification as required below in advance of the proposed changes, 

which shall be a minimum of 21 days, unless the Department provides in its regulations a 

different time frame for emergencies. The source, Department, and EPA shall attach each 

such notice to their copy of the relevant permit. The following provisions implement this 

requirement of an approvable Part 70 permit program: 

(1) The Department shall allow permitted sources to make Section 502(b)(10) 

changes without requiring a permit revision if the changes are not modifications 

under any provision of Title I of the Act and the changes do not exceed the 

emission allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of 
emissions or in terms of total emissions). 

(2) For each such change, the written notification required above shall include a 

brief description of the change within the permitted facility, the date on which 

the change will occur, any change in emissions, and any permit term or condition 

that is no longer applicable as a result of the change. (Section 25.70-N.1) 

A24. New source review. The permittee shall not construct or make modifications to the 

source required to be reviewed under Department regulations without receiving an approval 

or permit under such provisions. 

A25. Permit renewal and expiration. 

Permit expiration terminates the source's right to operate unless a timely and complete 

renewal application has been submitted consistent with the following paragraph of this 

section and 25.70-E.1.a(3). 

For purposes of permit renewal, a timely application is one that is submitted at least 

six months prior to the date of permit expiration, or such other longer time as may be 

approved by the Administrator that ensures that the term of the permit will not expire 

before the permit is renewed. In no event shall this time be greater than 18 months.(Section 

25.70-E.1.a(3)) 

A26. 112(r). 

The permittee shall comply with the requirement to submit to the Administrator or 

designated State Agency a risk management plan, including a registration that reflects all 

covered processes, by June 21, 1999, if the permittee's facility is required pursuant to 40 

CFR, 68, to submit such a plan. 

A27. Violations. 

(1) Violation of any regulation duly adopted by the Board is declared to be a 

misdemeanor punishable as provided by Tennessee law. 

(2) Violation of any regulation or section of the regulations is considered a 

separate offense. 

(3) Each day of violation of any regulation or section of the regulations is 

considered a separate offense. 

(4) The Director shall have the power and authority to issue an order which 

assesses civil penalties against any person responsible for the violation of 

the regulations as provided by Tennessee law. These penalties shall be 

recoverable in a maximum amount of $25,000 per day per violation as 

provided by state law. 
(5) Whenever evidence has been obtained or received establishing that a 

violation of the regulations has been committed, the Director shall have the 

power and authority to initiate proceedings to prosecute the violator. 

(6) The Director may cause to be instituted a civil action in any court of 

competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief to prevent violation of any 

regulation promulgated by the Board or of any order duly issued by the 

Director (as confirmed or modified by the Board, if this be the case). Such 

actions may be taken by the Director without the necessity of a prior 

revocation of any permit. 

(7) Nothing in these regulations shall prevent the Director from making efforts 

to obtain voluntary compliance with the regulations by issuing a notice to 

correct or cease the violation. Such notice shall briefly set forth the general 

nature of the violation and specify a reasonable time within which the 

violation shall be rectified or stopped. If the violation is not corrected 

within the time so specified, or the violation stopped, or reasonable steps 

taken to rectify the violation, the Director shall have the power and authority 

to issue an order requiring the violator to cease or suspend operation of the 

facility causing the violation until the violation has been corrected. The 

Director has the authority to restrain or enjoin immediately and effectively 

any person, by order or by suit in court, from engaging in any activity in 

violation of a permit or the Knox County Air Quality Management 

Regulations that is presenting an imminent and substantial endangerment to 

the public health or welfare, or the environment. 

(8) Where a time for compliance schedule has been established in the 

regulations, failure to comply with the time schedule by any person shall be 

considered a violation of the regulations.

(9) When any person has been requested by the Director to submit to the 

Director an acceptable proposal and time schedule and fails to do so in the 

time allocated by the Director for submitting such proposal and time 

schedule, such person shall be considered in violation of the regulations. 

(10) Where an acceptable proposal and timetable has been submitted to the 

Director by any person, failure to comply with the proposal and time 

schedule shall be considered a violation of the regulations. 

(11) Where a violation of the regulations occurs by any person, it shall be 

presumed that such violation occurred with the knowledge and 

consent of such person.

(1) The owner or operator of a kiln subject to limitations on particulate matter 

emissions shall demonstrate initial compliance by conducting a performance test as 

specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(iv) of this section. The owner or 

operator of an in-line kiln/raw mill subject to limitations on particulate matter 

emissions shall demonstrate initial compliance by conducting separate performance 

tests as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(v) of this section while the raw 

mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is under normal operating conditions and while the raw 

mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is not operating. The owner or operator of a clinker 

cooler subject to limitations on particulate matter emissions shall demonstrate initial 

compliance by conducting a performance test as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) 

through (b)(1)(iii) of this section. The opacity exhibited during the period of the 

Method 5 of Appendix A to part 60 of this chapter performance tests required by 

paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section shall be determined as required in paragraph 

(b)(1)(v) of this section. (i) EPA Method 5 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 

shall be used to determine PM emissions. Each performance test shall consist of three 

separate runs under the conditions that exist when the affected source is operating at 

the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. Each run shall be 

conducted for at least one hour, and the minimum sample volume shall be 0.85 dscm 

(30 dscf). The average of the three runs shall be used to determine compliance. A 

determination of the particulate matter collected in the impingers (``back half'') of the 

Method 5 particulate sampling train is not required to demonstrate initial compliance 

with the PM standards of this subpart. However this shall not preclude the permitting 

authority from requiring a determination of the ``back half'' for other purposes. (ii) 

Suitable methods shall be used to determine the kiln or inline kiln/raw mill feed rate, 

except for fuels, for each run. (iii) The emission rate, E, of PM shall be computed for 

each run using equation 1: 

E = (CsQsd)/P (Eq. 1) 

Where: 

E = emission rate of particulate matter, kg/Mg of kiln feed. 

Cs = concentration of PM, kg/dscm. 

Qsd = volumetric flow rate of effluent gas, dscm/hr. 

P = total kiln feed (dry basis), Mg/hr. 

(iv) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(1)(vi) of this section the opacity 
exhibited during the period of the Method 5 performance tests required by 

paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section shall be determined through the use of a 

continuous opacity monitor (COM). The maximum six- minute average opacity 

during the three Method 5 test runs shall be determined during each Method 5 test 

run, and used to demonstrate initial compliance with the applicable opacity limits of 

Sec. 63.1343(b)(2), Sec. 63.1343(c)(2), or Sec. 63.1345(a)(2). 

(1) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to limitations on D/F 

emissions shall demonstrate initial compliance with the D/F emission limit by 

conducting a performance test using Method 23 of appendix A to part 60 of this 

chapter. The owner or operator of an in-line kiln/raw mill shall demonstrate 

initial compliance by conducting separate performance tests while the raw mill 

of the in-line kiln/raw mill is under normal operating conditions and while the 

raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is not operating. The owner or operator of a 

kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill equipped with an alkali bypass shall conduct 

simultaneous performance tests of the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill exhaust and 

the alkali bypass, however the owner or operator of an in- line kiln/raw mill is 

not required to conduct a performance test of the alkali bypass exhaust when the 

raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is not operating. 

(i) Each performance test shall consist of three separate runs; each run 

shall be conducted under the conditions that exist when the affected 

source is operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably 

expected to occur. The duration of each run shall be at least three 

hours and the sample volume for each run shall be at least 2.5 dscm 

(90 dscf). The concentration shall be determined for each run and the 

arithmetic average of the concentrations measured for the three runs 

shall be calculated and used to determine compliance. 

(ii) The temperature at the inlet to the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill 

PMCD, and where applicable, the temperature at the inlet to the 

alkali bypass PMCD, must be continuously recorded during the 

period of the Method 23 test, and the continuous temperature 

record(s) must be included in the performance test report. 

(iii) One-minute average temperatures must be calculated for each minute 

of each run of the test. 

(iv) The run average temperature must be calculated for each run, and the 

average of the run average temperatures must be determined and 

included in the performance test report and will determine the 

applicable temperature limit in accordance with Sec. 63.1344(b). 

(v) If activated carbon injection is used for D/F control, the rate of 

activated carbon injection to the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill exhaust, 

and where applicable, the rate of activated carbon injection to the 

alkali bypass exhaust, must be continuously recorded during the 

period of the Method 23 test, and the continuous injection rate 

record(s) must be included in the performance test report. In 

addition, the performance test report must include the brand and type 
of activated carbon used during the performance test and a 

continuous record of either the carrier gas flow rate or the carrier gas 

pressure drop for the duration of the test. Activated carbon injection 

rate parameters must be determined in accordance with paragraphs 

(b)(3)(vi) of this section. 

(vi) The run average injection rate must be calculated for each run, and 

the average of the run average injection rates must be determined and 

included in the performance test report and will determine the 

applicable injection rate limit in accordance with Sec. 63.1344(c)(1). 

(c) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, performance tests required under 

paragraphs (b)(1) of this section shall be repeated every five years, except that the 

owner or operator of a kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill or clinker cooler is not required to 

repeat the initial performance test of opacity for the kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill or 

clinker cooler. 

(d) Performance tests required under paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall be repeated 

every 30 months.

deferred pending further rulemaking. 

 (j) An owner or operator may submit an application to the Administrator for approval of 

alternate monitoring requirements to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards 

of this subpart, 

except for emission standards for THC. 

(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

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 alternate 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 approve or disapprove 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.

of this section. 
(b) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the particulate matter 

standards in §60.672(a) as follows: 

(1) Method 5 or Method 17 shall be used to determine the particulate matter 

concentration. The sample volume shall be at least 1.70 dscm (60 dscf). For 

Method 5, if the gas stream being sampled is at ambient temperature, the 

sampling probe and filter may be operated without heaters. If the gas stream is 

above ambient temperature, the sampling probe and filter may be operated at a 

temperature high enough, but no higher than 121 °C (250 °F), to prevent water 

condensation on the filter. 

(2) Method 9 and the procedures in §60.11 shall be used to determine opacity. 

(c) (1) In determining compliance with the particulate matter standards in §60.672 (b) 

and (c), the owner or operator shall use Method 9 and the procedures in §60.11, 

with the following additions: 

(i)The minimum distance between the observer and the emission source 

shall be 4.57 meters (15 feet). 

(ii) The observer shall, when possible, select a position that minimizes 

interference from other fugitive emission sources (e.g., road dust). The 

required observer position relative to the sun (Method 9, Section 2.1) must 

be followed. 

(iii) For affected facilities using wet dust suppression for particulate matter 

control, a visible mist is sometimes generated by the spray. The water mist 

must not be confused with particulate matter emissions and is not to be 

considered a visible emission. When a water mist of this nature is present, 

the observation of emissions is to be made at a point in the plume where the 

mist is no longer visible. 

(2)In determining compliance with the opacity of stack emissions from any 

baghouse that controls emissions only from an individual enclosed storage bin 

under §60.672(f) of this subpart, using Method 9, the duration of the Method 9 

observations shall be 1 hour (ten 6-minute averages). 

(3) When determining compliance with the fugitive emissions standard for any 

affected facility described under §60.672(b) of this subpart, the duration of the 

Method 9 observations may be reduced from 3 hours (thirty 6-minute averages) 

to 1 hour (ten 6-minute averages) only if the following conditions apply: 

(i) There are no individual readings greater than 10 percent opacity; and 
(ii) There are no more than 3 readings of 10 percent for the 1-hour period. 

(4) When determining compliance with the fugitive emissions standard for any

used to remove moisture from feed materials, it is also, by definition, 

a raw material dryer. The raw mill also includes the air separator 

associated with the raw mill. 

 Rolling average means the average of all one-minute averages over 

the averaging period. 

 Run average means the average of the one-minute parameter values for 

a run. 

 TEQ means the international method of expressing toxicity

subpart shall be conducted as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through 

(b)(4) of this section. 

 (1) The owner or operator of a kiln subject to limitations on 

particulate matter emissions shall demonstrate initial compliance by 

conducting a performance test as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) 

through (b)(1)(iv) of this section. The owner or operator of an in-line 

kiln/raw mill subject to limitations on particulate matter emissions 

shall demonstrate initial compliance by conducting separate performance 

tests as specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(iv) of this 

section while the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is under normal 

operating conditions and while the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill 

is not operating. The owner or operator of a clinker cooler subject to 

limitations on particulate matter emissions shall demonstrate initial 

compliance by conducting a performance test as specified in paragraphs 

(b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(iii) of this section. The opacity exhibited during 

the period of the Method 5 of Appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 

performance tests required by paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section shall be 

determined as required in paragraphs (b)(1)(v) through (vi) of this section. 

 (i) Method 5 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter shall be used 

to determine PM emissions. Each performance test shall consist of three 

separate runs under the conditions that exist when the affected source 

is operating at the representative performance conditions in accordance 

with Sec. 63.7(e). Each run shall be conducted for at least 1 hour, and 

the minimum sample volume shall be 0.85 dscm (30 dscf). The average of 

the three runs shall be used to determine compliance. A determination of 

the PM collected in the impingers (``back half'') of the Method 5 
particulate sampling train is not required to demonstrate initial 

compliance with the PM standards of this subpart. However, this shall 

not preclude the permitting authority from requiring a determination of 

the ``back half'' for other purposes.

the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill and bypass stack, kg/Mg of kiln feed. 

csk = concentration of particulate matter in the kiln or inline kiln/raw mill effluent, kg/dscm. 

 Qsdk= volumetric flow rate of kiln or in-line kiln/raw 

mill effluent, dscm/hr. 

csb= concentration of particulate matter in the alkali 

bypass gas, kg/dscm. 

Qsdb = volumetric flow rate of alkali bypass gas, dscm/hr. 

P=total kiln feed (dry basis), Mg/hr. 

 (v) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(1)(vi) of this section the 

opacity exhibited during the period of the Method 5 performance tests 

required by paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section shall be determined 

through the use of a continuous opacity monitor (COM). The maximum sixminute average opacity during the three Method 5 test runs shall be 

determined during each Method 5 test run, and used to demonstrate 

initial compliance with the applicable opacity limits of Sec. 

63.1343(b)(2), Sec. 63.1343(c)(2), or Sec. 63.1345(a)(2).

conduct an opacity test in accordance with Method 9 of appendix A to 

part 60 of this chapter during each Method 5 performance test required 

by paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section. If the control device exhausts 

through a monovent, or if the use of a COM in accordance with the 

installation specifications of Performance Specification 1 (PS-1) of 

appendix B to part 60 of this chapter is not feasible, a test shall be 

conducted in accordance with Method 9 of appendix A to part 60 of this 

chapter during each Method 5 performance test required by paragraph 

(b)(1)(i) of this section. The maximum six-minute average opacity shall 

be determined during the three Method 5 test runs, and used to 

demonstrate initial compliance with the applicable opacity limits of 
Sec. 63.1343(b)(2), Sec. 63.1343(c)(2), or Sec. 63.1345(a)(2).

limitations on opacity under this subpart that is not subject to 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall demonstrate initial compliance 

with the affected source opacity limit by conducting a test in 

accordance with Method 9 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter. The 

performance test shall be conducted under the conditions that exist when 

the affected source is operating at the representative performance 

conditions in accordance with Sec. 63.7(e). The maximum 6-minute 

average opacity exhibited during the test period shall be used to 

determine whether the affected source is in initial compliance with the 

standard. The duration of the Method 9 performance test shall be 3 hours 

(30 6-minute averages), except that the duration of the Method 9 

performance test may be reduced to 1 hour if the conditions of 

paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (ii) of this section apply:

first 1-hour period. 

 (3) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to 

limitations on D/F emissions under this subpart shall demonstrate 

initial compliance with the D/F emission limit by conducting a 

performance test using Method 23 of appendix A to part 60 of this 

chapter. The owner or operator of an in-line kiln/raw mill shall 

demonstrate initial compliance by conducting separate performance tests 

while the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is under normal 

operating conditions and while the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill 

is not operating. The owner or operator of a kiln or in-line kiln/raw 

mill equipped with an alkali bypass shall conduct simultaneous 

performance tests of the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill exhaust and the 

alkali bypass. However, the owner or operator of an in-line kiln/raw 

mill may conduct a performance test of the alkali bypass exhaust when 

the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is operating or not operating. 

 (i) Each performance test shall consist of three separate runs; each 

run shall be conducted under the conditions that exist when the affected 

source is operating at the representative performance conditions in

least 3 hours, and the sample volume for each run shall be at least 2.5 

dscm (90 dscf). The concentration shall be determined for each run, and 

the arithmetic average of the concentrations measured for the three runs 

shall be calculated and used to determine compliance. 

 (ii) The temperature at the inlet to the kiln or in-line kiln/raw 

mill PMCD, and where applicable, the temperature at the inlet to the 

alkali bypass PMCD, must be continuously recorded during the period of 

the Method 23 test, and the continuous temperature record(s) must be 

included in the performance test report. 

 (iii) One-minute average temperatures must be calculated for each 

minute of each run of the test. 

 (iv) The run average temperature must be calculated for each run, 

and the average of the run average temperatures must be determined and 

included in the performance test report and will determine the 

applicable temperature limit in accordance with Sec. 63.1344(b). 

 (v) If activated carbon injection is used for D/F control, the rate 

of activated carbon injection to the kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill 

exhaust, and where applicable, the rate of activated carbon injection to 

the alkali bypass exhaust, must be continuously recorded during the 

period of the Method 23 test, and the continuous injection rate 

record(s) must be included in the performance test report. In addition, 

the performance test report must include the brand and type of activated 

carbon used during the performance test and a continuous record of 

either the carrier gas flow rate or the carrier gas pressure drop for 
the duration of the test. Activated carbon injection rate parameters 

must be determined in accordance with paragraphs (b)(3)(vi) of this 

section. 

 (vi) The run average injection rate must be calculated for each run, 

and the average of the run average injection rates must be determined 

and included in the performance test report and will determine the 

applicable injection rate limit in accordance with Sec. 63.1344(c)(1). 

 (4) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to 

limitations on emissions of THC shall demonstrate initial compliance 

with the THC limit by operating a continuous emission monitor in 

accordance with Performance Specification 8A of appendix B to part 60 of 

this chapter. The duration of the performance test shall be three hours, 

and the average THC concentration (as calculated from the one-minute 

averages) during the three hour performance test shall be calculated. 

The owner or operator of an in-line kiln/raw mill shall demonstrate 

initial compliance by conducting separate performance tests while the 

raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is under normal operating 

conditions and while the raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is not 

operating.

 (2) Within 24 hours of the end of the Method 22 test in which 

visible emissions were observed, conduct a followup Method 22 test of 

each stack from which visible emissions were observed during the 

previous Method 22 test. If visible emissions are observed during the 

followup Method 22 test from any stack from which visible emissions were 

observed during the previous Method 22 test, conduct a visual opacity 

test of each stack from which emissions were observed during the follow 

up Method 22 test in accordance with Method 9 of appendix A to part 60 

of this chapter. The duration of the Method 9 test shall be 30 minutes. 

 (f) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to a 

limitation on D/F emissions shall monitor D/F emissions in accordance 

with paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(6) of this section. 

 (1) The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, maintain, and 

continuously operate a continuous monitor to record the temperature of 

the exhaust gases from the kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill and alkali 

bypass, if applicable, at the inlet to, or upstream of, the kiln, inline kiln/raw mill and/or alkali bypass PM control devices. 

 (i) The recorder response range must include zero and 1.5 times 

either of the average temperatures established according to the 

requirements in Sec. 63.1349(b)(3)(iv). 

 (ii) The reference method must be a National Institute of Standards 

and Technology calibrated reference thermocouple-potentiometer system or 

alternate reference, subject to approval by the Administrator. 

 (2) The owner or operator shall monitor and continuously record the 

temperature of the exhaust gases from the kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill 

and alkali bypass, if applicable, at the inlet to the kiln, in-line 

kiln/raw mill and/or alkali bypass PMCD. 

 (3) The three-hour rolling average temperature shall be calculated 

as the average of 180 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 recordings. 

 (6) The calibration of all thermocouples and other temperature 

sensors shall be verified at least once every three months. 

 (g) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to a 

limitation on D/F emissions that employs carbon injection as an emission 

control technique shall comply with the monitoring requirements of 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(6) and (g)(1) through (g)(6) of this 

section to demonstrate continuous compliance with the D/F emission 

standard. 

 (1) Install, operate, calibrate and maintain a continuous monitor to 

record the rate of activated carbon injection. The accuracy of the rate 

measurement device must be ±≤1 percent of the rate being measured. 

 (2) Verify the calibration of the device at least once every three 

months. 

 (3) The three-hour rolling average activated carbon injection rate 

shall be calculated as the average of 180 successive one-minute average 

activated carbon injection rates. 

 (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 activated carbon injection rate must 

begin anew, without considering previous recordings. 

 (6) The owner or operator must install, operate, calibrate and 

maintain a continuous monitor to record the activated carbon injection 

system carrier gas parameter (either the carrier gas flow rate or the 

carrier gas pressure drop) established during the D/F performance test 

in accordance with paragraphs (g)(6)(i) through (g)(6)(iii) of this 

section. 

 (i) The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, operate and 

maintain a device to continuously monitor and record the parameter 

value. 

 (ii) The owner or operator must calculate and record three-hour 

rolling averages of the parameter value. 

 (iii) Periods of time when one-minute averages are not available 

shall be ignored when calculating three-hour rolling averages. When oneminute averages become available, the first one-minute average shall be 

added to the previous 179 values to calculate the three-hour rolling 

average. 

 (h) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to a 

limitation on THC emissions under this subpart shall comply with the 

monitoring requirements of paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(3) of this 

section to demonstrate continuous compliance with the THC emission 

standard: 

 (1) The owner or operator shall install, operate and maintain a THC 

continuous emission monitoring system in accordance with Performance 

Specification 8A, of appendix B to part 60 of this chapter and comply 

with all of the requirements for continuous monitoring systems found in 

the general provisions, subpart A of this part. 

 (2) The owner or operator is not required to calculate hourly 

rolling averages in accordance with section 4.9 of Performance 

Specification 8A. 

 (3) Any thirty-day block average THC concentration in any gas 

discharged from a greenfield raw material dryer, the main exhaust of a 

greenfield kiln, or the main exhaust of a greenfield in-line kiln/raw 

mill, exceeding 50 ppmvd, reported as propane, corrected to seven 

percent oxygen, is a violation of the standard. 

 (i) The owner or operator of any kiln or in-line kiln/raw mill 

subject to a D/F emission limit under this subpart shall conduct an 

inspection of the components of the combustion system of each kiln or 

in-line kiln raw mill at least once per year. 

 (j) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to a 

limitation on opacity under Sec. 63.1346 or Sec. 63.1348 shall monitor 

opacity in accordance with the operation and maintenance plan developed 

in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section. 

 (k) The owner or operator of an affected source subject to a 

particulate matter standard under Sec. 63.1343 shall install, 

calibrate, maintain, and operate a particulate matter continuous 

emission monitoring system (PM CEMS) to measure the particulate matter 

discharged to the atmosphere. All requirements relating to installation, 

calibration, maintenance, operation or performance of the PM CEMS and 

implementation of the PM CEMS requirement are deferred pending further 

rulemaking. 

 (l) An owner or operator may submit an application to the 

Administrator for approval of 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 (l)(1) through (l)(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 application must contain the information specified 

in paragraphs (l)(3)(i) through (l)(3)(iii) of this section: 

 (i) Data or information justifying the request, such as the 

technical or economic 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 calculated; 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 alternate 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 approve 

or disapprove 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. 

 (m) The requirements under paragraph (e) of this section to conduct 

daily Method 22 testing shall not apply to any specific raw mill or 

finish mill equipped with a continuous opacity monitor COM or bag leak 

detectionsystem (BLDS). If the owner or operator chooses to install a COM in 

lieu of conducting the daily visual emissions testing required under 

paragraph (e) of this section, then the COM must be installed at the 

outlet of the PM control device of the raw mill or finish mill, and the 

COM must be installed, maintained, calibrated, and operated as required 

by the general provisions in subpart A of this part and according to PS1 of appendix B to part 60 of this chapter. To remain in compliance, the 

opacity must be maintained such that the 6-minute average opacity for 

any 6-minute block period does not exceed 10 percent. If the average 
opacity for any 6-minute block period exceeds 10 percent, this shall 

constitute a violation of the standard. If the owner or operator chooses 

to install a BLDS in lieu of conducting the daily visual emissions 

testing required under paragraph (e) of this section, the requirements 

in paragraphs (m)(1) through (9) of this section apply to each BLDS: 

 (1) The BLDS must be certified by the manufacturer to be capable of 

detecting PM emissions at concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual 

cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic foot) or less. ``Certify'' 

shall mean that the instrument manufacturer has tested the instrument on 

gas streams having a range of particle size distributions and confirmed 

by means of valid filterable PM tests that the minimum detectable 

concentration limit is at or below 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter 

(0.0044 grains per actual cubic foot) or less. 

 (2) The sensor on the BLDS must provide output of relative PM 

emissions. 

 (3) The BLDS must have an alarm that will activate automatically 

when it detects a significant increase in relative PM emissions greater 

than a preset level. 

 (4) The presence of an alarm condition should be clearly apparent to 

facility operating personnel. 

 (5) For a positive-pressure fabric filter, each compartment or cell 

must have a bag leak detector. For a negative-pressure or induced-air 

fabric filter, the bag leak detector must be installed downstream of the 

fabric filter. If multiple bag leak detectors are required (for either 

type of fabric filter), detectors may share the system instrumentation 

and alarm. 

 (6) All BLDS must be installed, operated, adjusted, and maintained 

so that they are based on the manufacturer's written specifications and 

recommendations. The EPA recommends that where appropriate, the standard 

operating procedures manual for each bag leak detection system include 

concepts from EPA's ``Fabric Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance'' (EPA454/R-98-015, September 1997). 

 (7) The baseline output of the system must be established as 

follows: 

 (i) Adjust the range and the averaging period of the device; and 

 (ii) Establish the alarm set points and the alarm delay time. 

 (8) After initial adjustment, the range, averaging period, alarm set 

points, or alarm delay time may not be adjusted except as specified in 

the operations and maintenance plan required by paragraph (a) of this 

section. In no event may the range be increased by more than 100 percent 

or decreased by more than 50 percent over a 1 calendar year period 

unless a responsible official as defined in Sec. 63.2 certifies in 

writing to the Administrator that the fabric filter has been inspected 

and found to be in good operating condition. 

 (9) The owner or operator must maintain and operate the fabric 

filter such that the bag leak detector alarm is not activated and alarm 

condition does not exist for more than 5 percent of the total operating 

time in a 6-month block period. Each time the alarm activates, alarm 

time will be counted as the actual amount of time taken by the owner or 

operator to initiate corrective actions. If inspection of the fabric 

filter demonstrates that no corrective actions are necessary, no alarm 

time will be counted. The owner or operator must continuously record the 

output from the BLDS during periods of normal operation. Normal 

operation does not include periods when the BLDS is being maintained or 

during startup, shutdown or malfunction.

Sec. 63.1357 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

 (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 later than 24 hours after operations are modified 

to attain the desired particulate matter emissions concentrations, 

unless the correlation test plan documents that a longer period is 

appropriate. 

 (e) The PM and opacity standards and associated operating limits and 

conditions will not be waived for more than 96 hours, in the aggregate, 

for the purposes of conducting tests to correlate PM CEMS with manual 

method test results, including all runs and conditions, except as 

described in this paragraph. Where additional time is required to 

correlate a PM CEMS device, a source may petition the Administrator for 

an extension of the 96-hour aggregate waiver of compliance with the PM 

and opacity standards. An extension of the 96-hour aggregate waiver is 

renewable at the discretion of the Administrator. 

 (f) The owner or operator must return the affected source to 

operating conditions indicative of compliance with the applicable 

particulate matter and opacity standards as soon as possible after 

correlation testing is completed.

Emission Factor Information 

A. Kiln Stack Emissions

Kiln stack emissions shall be estimated from CEM concentrations and volumetric flow rates or the 

default emission rates listed below. 

Criteria Pollutants:

PM 0.055 lb/ton kiln feed 

CO 1.804 lb/ton kiln feed 

NOx 2.876 lb/ton kiln feed 

SO2 0.588 lb/ton kiln feed 

THC 0.034 lb/ton kiln feed 

Metals

Chromium 0.00011 lb/ton kiln feed 

Lead 0.00004 lb/ton kiln feed 

Mercury 0.00021 lb/ton kiln feed 

B. Point Sources (excluding Kiln)

Cooler APCD – Based on NSPS (0.1 lb/ton feed) 

All other APCD – Grain Loadings of 0.03 gr/dscf are based on engineering judgment. 

Actual TSP emissions are based on grain loading multiplied by the flow rate and hours of 

operation. 

Allowable emissions are based on grain loading and maximum permitted operating hours, except 

for cooler which is based on NSPS. 

 

C. Paved Road Emission Factors (AP-42 section 13.2.1)

E = k (sL/2) 0.65 (W/3) 1.5 

Where: 

 E = particulate emission factor 

k = base emission factor for particle size range and units of interest (assumed to equal 0.16 

lb/Vehicle Mile Traveled). 

sL = road surface silt loading (grams per square meter) for concrete batching sL average is 

12 g/m2

 and for quarry operations it is 8.2 g/m2. 

W = mean vehicle weight (tons) 

D. Unpaved Road Emission Factors (AP-42 section 13.2.2)
112

E = k (s/12)a (W/3)b

 (M/0.2)C

Where: 

E = emission factor 

kTSP = 10 lb/VMT 

aTSP = 0.8 lb/VMT 

bTSP = 0.5 lb/VMT 

cTSP = 0.4 lb/VMT 

kpm10 = 2.6 lb/VMT 

aPM10 = 0.8lb/VMT 

bPM10 =0.5 lb/VMT 

cPM10 = 0.3 lb/VMT 

E. PILES:

TSP transfer factors derived from AP-42 Section 11.2.3 (Pile Transfers). 

TSP wind erosion derived from AP-42 Section 8.19.1 (Pile Wind Erosion). 

No wind erosion assumed on rain days. 

F. CEMEX Process Fugitives

CEMEX currently uses the following emission factors to calculate fugitive emissions. These 

emission factors are applied to the fugitive emission points as appropriate.
