Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The owner or operator of a portland
					 cement kiln or clinker cooler must maintain a file of daily clinker production
					 rates, kiln feed rates, and any particulate emission measurements. The
					 production and feed rates must be summarized monthly. The records and summary
					 must be retained for at least five years following the date of such records and
					 summaries and must be made available for inspection by the department during
					 normal business hours.
(b) The
					 owner or operator of a portland cement kiln at a dry process plant or clinker
					 cooler at either a dry or wet process plant, subject to section 220- 1.4(a) or
					 (b) of this Subpart, must install, maintain, calibrate daily, and operate a
					 device, approved by the department, for continuously measuring and recording
					 the opacity of emissions from such kiln or clinker cooler. If two or more kilns
					 are vented through a single stack, an opacity monitor in the common stack would
					 satisfy the requirements of this subdivision. Records of opacity must be
					 retained for at least five years following the date on which they are
					 made.
(c) The owner or operator of
					 a portland cement kiln shall demonstrate compliance with the NO
					 x RACT emission limit(s) established in section 220-
					 1.6(b) of this Subpart by measuring NO x emissions with
					 a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS). The CEMS shall comply with the
					 requirements of subdivision (d) of this section or with equivalent requirements
					 approved by the department. Any approved equivalent CEMS requirements will be
					 submitted by the department to the United States Environmental Protection
					 Agency for approval as separate State Implementation Plan revisions.
(d) CEMS requirements.
(1) The owner or operator of a portland
					 cement kiln shall install, calibrate, evaluate, operate, and maintain a CEMS,
					 in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 75, for measuring NO
					 x at locations approved in the CEMS certification
					 protocol under paragraph (3) of this subdivision, and shall record the output
					 of the system.
(2) As part of its
					 application for a permit or permit modification, the owner or operator of a
					 portland cement kiln shall submit for department approval a CEMS monitoring
					 plan that complies with the provisions of 40 CFR part 75, subpart F.
(3) The owner or operator of a portland
					 cement kiln shall submit for department approval a CEMS certification protocol
					 at least 60 days prior to CEMS certification testing. The certification
					 protocol shall include the location of and specifications for each instrument
					 or device, as well as procedures for calibration, operation, data evaluation,
					 and data reporting.
(4) The
					 procedures in subparagraphs (i) through (v) of this paragraph shall be used for
					 determining compliance with the NO x RACT emission limit
					 established under section
					 220-1.6(b) 
					 of this Subpart.
(i) The owner or operator of
					 a portland cement kiln shall determine compliance daily on a 30 day rolling
					 average basis. The 30 day rolling averages shall be calculated by dividing 30
					 day total NO x emissions by 30 day total clinker
					 production. Only days when the kiln operates shall be included in the 30 day
					 rolling averages.
(ii) Along with
					 any specific additional data requirements mandated by the department for a
					 particular portland cement kiln, annual re-certifications, quarterly accuracy,
					 and daily calibration drift tests shall be performed in accordance with  40 CFR
					 part 75, subpart C.
(iii) When NO
					 x emissions data are not obtained because of CEMS
					 downtime, or for periods when no valid CEMS data is available, the owner or
					 operator of a portland cement kiln shall use      40 CFR part 75, subpart D, data
					 substitution procedures.
(5) In addition to the requirements of
					 subparagraphs (i) through (iii) of this paragraph, the owner or operator of a
					 portland cement kiln shall comply with the CEMS recordkeeping and reporting
					 requirements of 40 CFR part 75, subparts F and G.
(i) The owner or operator of a portland
					 cement kiln shall notify the department of the planned initial start-up date of
					 any new CEMS.
(ii) Emissions,
					 monitoring, and operating parameter records or measurements required by this
					 Subpart and any additional parameters required by the department shall be
					 maintained for at least five years and made available to the department upon
					 request.
(iii) On a semi-annual
					 basis, the owner or operator of a portland cement kiln shall tabulate and
					 summarize applicable emissions, monitoring, and operating parameter
					 measurements recorded during the preceding six months, and submit these records
					 to the department. These records shall be submitted in a format acceptable to
					 the department and shall include:
(a) the 30
					 day rolling average NO x emissions as specified under
					 paragraph (4) of this subdivision;
(b) identification of the operating hours
					 when NO x emissions data are not included in a
					 calculation of the 30 day rolling average emissions and the reasons for not
					 including that data;
(c) a
					 comparison of the NO x emissions to the NO
					 x RACT emissions limit(s);
(d) type and amount of fuel burned on a daily
					 basis and the as burned heat content of the fuel;
(e) the total daily NO
					 x emissions and total daily clinker production;
					 and
(f) the results of CEMS
					 accuracy assessments as required by 40 CFR part 75, appendix A and B and any
					 additional data quality information required by the department.
