New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter III - AIR RESOURCES › Subchapter A - PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF AIR CONTAMINATION AND AIR POLLUTION › Part 214 - By-product Coke Oven Batteries › Section 214.9 - Gaseous emissions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				  Coke oven fuel gas-sulfur recovery/desulfurization systems. No person may
				  operate any by-product coke oven battery, including auxiliary gas collecting
				  and heating systems, in such a manner as to emit, burn or flare coke oven gas
				  containing more than 0.5 grains of sulfur compounds (measured as hydrogen
				  sulfide) per dry standard cubic foot of total coke oven gas produced. If the
				  source owner can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the commissioner, by an
				  acceptable air quality impact analysis, that the emissions will not contribute
				  to the contravention of any applicable sulfur dioxide ambient air quality
				  standard and will not significantly degrade air quality, the commissioner may
				  permit the use of coke oven gas containing sulfur compounds in excess of the
				  amount specified above provided that a sulfur recovery/desulfurization system
				  approved by the commissioner is installed and operated.
(b) Reasonably available control technology.
(1) Owners and/or operators of facilities
				  subject to this Part must submit a compliance plan to the department by October
				  20, 1994 which identifies reasonably available control technology for each
				  nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compound emission point. The compliance
				  plan must identify the emission points which are not equipped with reasonably
				  available control technology (RACT), and must include a schedule for
				  installation of RACT. Reasonably available control technology as approved by
				  the department must be implemented on each emission point subject to this
				  subdivision by May 31, 1995.
(2)
				  Compliance plans which include construction of emission control equipment must
				  include a milestone date not later than December 20, 1994 for submission to the
				  department of permit to construct applications. These compliance plans must
				  include milestone dates for commencement of construction, completion of
				  construction, and completion of emissions testing of emission control
				  equipment.
(3) Reasonably available
				  control technology compliance plans for nitrogen oxide emission points must
				  include technically feasible control strategies to minimize nitrogen oxide
				  formation and emission control equipment alternatives.
(4) Volatile organic compound emission points
				  which are subject to, and are in compliance with Subparts L or FF of the
				  national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants in  40 CFR part 61  (see
				  Table 1, section
				  200.9  of this
				  Title) are equipped with reasonably available control technology for purposes
				  of compliance with this section.
(5) These process specific RACT
				  demonstrations which are acceptable to the department will be submitted to the
				  United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval as a revision to the
				  State Implementation Plan by the department.
