Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Compliance with the offtake piping emission limitation
				contained in Rule 203(d)(5)(B)(vi) of the Illinois Pollution Control Board
				Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2: Air Pollutions shall be determined by the
				following procedure:
a) Observations.
Observations of any visible emissions from the offtake piping
				shall be made by traversing the topside of the battery near the centerline one
				time. During the traverse, the observer may stray from the centerline and walk
				as close as possible to the offtake piping in order to determine whether an
				observed emission is coming from the offtake piping. Each oven shall be
				observed in sequence.
b)
			 Recording of Observations.
The observer shall record the battery identification, the
				points of offtake piping emission from any oven, and the oven number.
c) Compliance Determination.
Compliance with Rule 203(d)(5)(B)(vi) shall be determined by
				utilizing the following formula:
(# of offtake pipes on operating
ovens with visible emissions)
x 100
=
10% or less

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Unless otherwise defined in this Section or unless a
				  different meaning of a term is clear from its context, the definitions of terms
				  used in this Part shall have the meanings specified by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  201.102 and 35 Ill.
				  Adm. Code 211.
"Agency" means the Illinois Environmental Protection
				  Agency.
"Continuous steady-state unit" means an emission unit that,
				  as an inherent result of its design or operation, produces a steady-state
				  emissions stream.
"Cyclic steady-state unit" means an emission unit that
				  operates on a batch basis and that exhibits uniform operating parameters and
				  produces similar emissions from batch to batch, and has a batch cycle time such
				  that it is practical to perform a single test run during one or more whole
				  batch cycles.
"Minor deviation" means a change to a test plan that does not
				  affect the stringency of the emission limitation or standard (i.e., no emission
				  limit or standard relaxation); and has no national significance (i.e., the
				  change will not affect the applicable regulation's implementation for other
				  sources in the affected category); and is site-specific (the applicability of
				  the change is determined only for the source at issue). A minor deviation
				  includes, but is not limited to, the following: a modified sampling traverse
				  (the procedure of measuring gas velocity at specific points across the cross
				  sectional area of a stack for the purpose of determining the gas velocity
				  profile) or location to avoid interference from an obstruction in the stack;
				  increasing the sampling time or volume; use of additional impingers for a high
				  moisture situation; accepting particulate emission results for a test run that
				  was conducted with a lower than specified temperature; substitution of a
				  material in the sampling train that has been demonstrated to be more inert for
				  the sampling matrix; and changes in recovery and analytical techniques such as
				  a change in quality control/quality assurance requirements needed to adjust for
				  analysis of a certain sample matrix.
"Qualifying unit" means an emission unit that during normal
				  operating conditions produces a consistent pattern of emissions.
"Valid test run" means a completed test run, conducted in
				  accordance with a test plan submitted to the Agency, as required under Section
				  283.220 of
				  this Part, or a test plan modified in accordance with Section
				  283.230
				  of this Part.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 283 - GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR EMISSIONS TESTS AVERAGING › Subpart B - PROCEDURES FOR AVERAGING OF TEST RESULTS › Section 283.210 - Criteria for Averaging Tests

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Emissions tests results for an emission unit shall be
				  averaged to determine compliance with the applicable limitation, standard, or
				  permit conditions, provided that all of the following conditions are
				  met:
a) The emission unit is
				classified as a continuous steady-state unit, a cyclic steady-state unit, or
				another qualifying unit;
b) At
				least three valid test runs are conducted, subject, however, to the provisions
				of Section
				283.240(c)
				of this Part; and
c) Each of the
				test runs to be averaged is performed according to the test plan submitted to
				the Agency prior to the test, pursuant to the provisions of Section
				283.220 of
				this Part, or as may otherwise be modified and approved, according to the
				provisions of Section
				283.230
				of this Part.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) A test
				plan must be submitted to the Agency when an owner or operator of an emission
				unit intends to average emissions tests results for that unit.
b) A test plan must be submitted to the
				Agency for review prior to conducting any emissions test when any one of the
				following applies:
1) The Agency makes a
				written request for a test plan;
2)
				A non-standard test method or procedure is to be used;
3) A source seeks to test at operating
				parameters that differ from the maximum parameters specified in its operating
				permit;
4) A source seeks to
				deviate from a prior test plan for that emission unit; or
5) A test plan for the emission unit is
				required to be submitted by an Illinois Pollution Control Board Order, any

				provision.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 283 - GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR EMISSIONS TESTS AVERAGING › Subpart B - PROCEDURES FOR AVERAGING OF TEST RESULTS › Section 283.230 - Changes to the Test Plan

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				owner or operator of an emission unit, or an authorized representative, may
				change the procedures, methods, or operating parameters of the emissions test
				at the time of the emissions test, provided that the change is a minor
				deviation as defined in Section
				283.130 of this Part.
				The emission unit owner or operator shall ensure that documentation of the
				change is submitted to the Agency along with the test results.
b) If the owner or operator of an emission
				unit elects to use the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the
				following procedures shall apply, depending on the relevant circumstances:
1) If a representative of the Agency is
				on-site for the purpose of witnessing the emissions test, the owner or operator
				of the emission unit or an authorized representative may request permission
				from the Agency's representative to change the procedures, methods, or
				operating parameters of the emissions test as specified in the test plan,
				submitted pursuant to the provisions of Section
				283.220 of
				this Part, provided that the change is a minor deviation, as defined in Section
				283.130 of this Part.
A) If the Agency representative approves the
				minor deviation, all test runs performed with this minor deviation may not be
				deemed invalid test runs by the Agency on the sole basis of the minor
				deviation.
B) If the Agency
				representative disapproves the change to the procedures, methods, or operating
				parameters of the emissions test as specified in the test plan, then the owner
				or operator of the emission unit or an authorized representative may elect to
				perform the emissions test with the change. However, the Agency may
				subsequently disapprove the emissions test results if it finds that a valid
				test run was not obtained as a result of the change.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 283 - GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR EMISSIONS TESTS AVERAGING › Subpart B - PROCEDURES FOR AVERAGING OF TEST RESULTS › Section 283.240 - Averaging Procedure

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following procedure shall be used when averaging
				  emissions tests results:
a) The
				average of the emissions tests results shall be determined by the arithmetic
				average of three valid test run results, as long as the test runs are conducted
				in conformance with either the provisions of an approved test plan or with a
				test plan that has been modified in accordance with Section
				283.230
				of this Part.
b) Notwithstanding
				subsection (a) of this Section, if the owner or operator of an emission unit
				elects to perform more than three test runs, then the average shall be
				calculated based upon the results of all valid test runs.
c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), in the
				event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of
				the test runs must be discontinued because of forced shutdown, failure of an
				irreplaceable portion of the sample train, extreme meteorological conditions,
				malfunction or other dissimilar or non-representative circumstances, upon the
				owner's or operator's documentation of the existence of any of the
				circumstances set forth in this subsection (c) and verification by the Agency
				that the conditions existed, compliance may be determined by using the
				arithmetic average of the test results of all remaining valid test runs;
				however, a minimum of two valid test runs is required to determine
				compliance.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
				emission unit will be determined to be in compliance with the applicable
				limitation, standard, or permit conditions when the average of the test results
				is either at or below the emission limit, standard, or permit conditions, and
				the test plan for the emission unit, submitted in accordance with Section
				283.220 of
				this Part or as modified in accordance with Section
				283.230
				of this Part, has not been disapproved by the Agency.
b) If an owner or operator of an emission
				unit does not meet the criteria for averaging under Section
				283.240 of
				this Part, then each individual valid test run shall be required to meet the
				applicable limitation, standard, or permit conditions in order to demonstrate
				compliance.
