### annual compliance certification under 30 TAC § 122. 146. These periodic monitoring requirements do not apply to vents that do not emit visible emissions such as vents that emit only VOC or vents that provide passive ventilation, such as plumbing vents; or vents that are subject to the emission limitation of 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(A) and Complia nce Assurance Monitoring, as specified in the attached Applicable Requirements Summary and “Additional Monitoring Requirements.”

1. An observation of stationary vents from emission units in operation shall be conducted at least once during each calend ar quarter unless the emission unit is not operating for the entire q uarter.

2. For stationary vents from a combustion source, if an alternative to the normally fired fuel is fired for a period greater t han or equal to 24 consecutive hours, the permit holder shall condu ct an observation of the stationary vent for each such period to dete rmine if visible emissions are present. If such period is greater t han three months, observations shall be conducted once during each qu arter. Supplementing the normally fired fuel with natural gas or fuel gas to increase the net heating value to the minimum requi red value does not
constitute creation of an alternative fuel.

3. Records of all observations shall be maintained.

4. Visible emissions observations of emission units operated during daylight hours shall be conducted no earlier than o ne hour after
sunrise and no later than one hour before sunset. Visible emissions observations of emission units operated only at nig ht must be made with additional lighting and the temporary installa tion of contrasting backgrounds. Visible emissions observations shall be made during times when the activities described in 30 TAC § 111 .111(a)(1)(E) are not taking place. Visible emissions shall be deter mined with each stationary vent in clear view of the observer. The observer shall be at least 15 feet, but not more than 0.25 mile, away from each stationary vent during the observation. For outdoo r locations, the observer shall select a position where the sun is n ot directly in the observer’s eyes. When condensed water vapor is pre sent within the plume, as it emerges from the emissions outlet, obs ervations must be made beyond the point in the plume at which condens ed water vapor is no longer visible. When water vapor within the plume condenses
and becomes visible at a distance from the emission s outlet, the observation shall be evaluated at the outlet prior to condensation of water vapor. A certified opacity reader is not req uired for visible
emissions observations.K:\projects\0210426-EPA_SPPD_(Opt3)\0210426.003.003 -Brick\Technical_Record\Permits\BSCP\Texas\Acme Bri ck Elgin\SOP - 01600 ACME

(a) If visible emissions are not present during the observation, the RO may certify that the source is in compliance wit h the applicable opacity requirement in 30 TAC § 111.111( a)(1) and (a)(1)(A).

(b) However, if visible emissions are present during the observation, the permit holder shall either list th is occurrence as a deviation on the next deviation report as requ ired under 30 TAC § 122.145(2) or conduct the appropriate opac ity test specified in 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(F) to determine if the source is in compliance with the opacity requiremen ts. If an opacity test is performed and the source is determi ned to be in compliance, the RO may certify that the source i s in compliance with the applicable opacity requirement. However, if an opacity test is performed and the so urce is determined to be out of compliance, the permit hold er shall
list this occurrence as a deviation on the next dev iation report as required under 30 TAC § 122.145(2). The opacity test must be performed by a certified opacity reader.

(c) Some vents may be subject to multiple visible em ission or monitoring requirements. All credible data must be considered when certifying compliance with this req uirement even if the observation or monitoring was performed to demonstrate compliance with a different requirement

.

B. For stationary vents with a flow rate of less tha n 100,000 actual cubic feet per minute and constructed after January 31, 1972, the permit holder shall comply with the following requirements:

Permit Shield (30 TAC § 122.148)

17. A permit shield is granted for the emission unit s, groups, or processes specified in the attached “Permit Shield.” Compliance with the cond itions of the permit shall be deemed compliance with the specified potentially applicabl e requirements or specified potentially applicable state-only requirements listed in the at tachment “Permit Shield.” Permit shield provisions shall not be modified by the Executive D irector until notification is provided to the permit holder. No later than 90 days after not ification of a change in a determination made by the Executive Director, the permit holder s hall apply for the appropriate permit
revision to reflect the new determination. Provisi onal terms are not eligible for this permit shield. Any term or condition, under a permit shie ld, shall not be protected by the permit shield if it is replaced by a provisional term or c ondition or the basis of the term and condition changes.K:\projects\0210426-EPA_SPPD_(Opt3)\0210426.003.003 -Brick\Technical_Record\Permits\BSCP\Texas\Acme Bri ck Elgin\SOP - 01600 ACME

When condensed water vapor is present within the plume, as it emerges from the emissions outlet, observations must be mad e beyond the point in the plume at which condensed water vapor is no longer visible. When water vapor within the plume condenses and becomes visible at a distance from the emissions outlet, the observati on shall be evaluated at the outlet prior to conden sation of water vapor. If visible emissions are observed, the permit holder shall report a deviation. As an alternative, the permit holder may determine the op acity consistent with Test Method 9, as soon as practicable, but no later than 24 hours after obser ving visible emissions.
