§ 111.111(a)(1)(A), complying with 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(F)(ii), (iii), or

(iv), and capable of producing visible emissions from, but not limited to,

particulate matter, acid gases and NOx

, the permit holder shall also comply

with the following periodic monitoring requirements for the purpose of
K:\projects\0210426-EPA_SPPD_(Opt3)\0210426.003.003-Brick\Technical_Record\Permits\BSCP\Texas\Acme Brick Elgin\SOP - 01600 ACME

BRICK CO, Elgin Plant (Minor, 8418).wpd Revised - Effective 08/2006 Page 3

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 Compliance 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 calendar quarter unless

the emission unit is not operating for the entire quarter.

2. For stationary vents from a combustion source, if an alternative to the

normally fired fuel is fired for a period greater than or equal to

24 consecutive hours, the permit holder shall conduct an observation

of the stationary vent for each such period to determine if visible

emissions are present. If such period is greater than three months,

observations shall be conducted once during each quarter.

Supplementing the normally fired fuel with natural gas or fuel gas to

increase the net heating value to the minimum required 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 one hour after

sunrise and no later than one hour before sunset. Visible emissions

observations of emission units operated only at night must be made

with additional lighting and the temporary installation 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 determined 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 outdoor locations, the

observer shall select a position where the sun is not directly in the

observer’s eyes. When condensed water vapor is present within the

plume, as it emerges from the emissions outlet, observations must be

made 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

observation shall be evaluated at the outlet prior to condensation of

water vapor. A certified opacity reader is not required for visible

emissions observations.

5. Compliance Certification:

(a) If visible emissions are not present during the observation, the

RO may certify that the source is in compliance with 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 this occurrence

as a deviation on the next deviation report as required under

30 TAC § 122.145(2) or conduct the appropriate opacity test

specified in 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(F) to determine if the

source is in compliance with the opacity requirements. If an

opacity test is performed and the source is determined to be

in compliance, the RO may certify that the source is in

compliance with the applicable opacity requirement.

However, if an opacity test is performed and the source is

determined to be out of compliance, the permit holder shall

list this occurrence as a deviation on the next deviation 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 emission or

monitoring requirements. All credible data must be

considered when certifying compliance with this requirement

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 than 100,000 actual cubic feet per minute

and constructed after January 31, 1972, the permit holder shall comply with the

following requirements:

(i) Title 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(B) (relating to Requirements for Specified

Sources)

(ii) Title 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(E)

(iii) Title 30 TAC § 111.111(a)(1)(F)(i), (ii), (iii), or (iv)

(iv) For emission units with vent emissions subject to 30 TAC

MONITORING INFORMATION

Indicator: Visible Emissions

Minimum Frequency: Once per week

Averaging Period: N/A

Deviation Limit: Visible Emissions

Periodic Monitoring Text: Visible emissions observations shall be made and recorded. Note that to

properly determine the presence of visible emissions, all sources must be in clear view of the observer.

The observer shall be at least 15 feet, but not more than 0.25mile, away from the emission source during

the observation. The observer shall select a position where the sun is not directly in the observer’s eyes.

If the observations cannot be conducted due to weather conditions, the date, time, and specific weather

conditions shall be recorded. When condensed water vapor is present within the plume, as it emerges

from the emissions outlet, observations must be made 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 observation shall be evaluated at the outlet prior to condensation

of water vapor. If visible emissions are observed, the permit holder shall report a deviation. As an

alternative, the permit holder may determine the opacity consistent with Test Method 9, as soon as

practicable, but no later than 24 hours after observing visible emissions. If the result of the Test Method 9

is an opacity above the corresponding opacity limit, the permit holder shall report a deviation.
