Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Air emissions
				  from the following stationary sources are authorized by this standard permit:
(1) recycling (e.g., crushing glass,
				  shredding or crushing aluminum, light bulb crushing, wood chipping, or
				  mulching);
(2) transfer stations:
(A) located at a municipal solid waste (MSW)
				  landfill site; or
(B) not located
				  at a landfill and store over 1,000 tons of MSW overnight, defined as sunset to
				  sunrise, must have the waste holding area covered by a ventilated building that
				  has a minimum 16-foot vertical exhaust of 45,000 cubic feet per minute or
				  greater;
(3) waste
				  solidification/stabilization operations, which must be conducted with the
				  following conditions:
(A) when dry fine
				  powdery materials, including, but not limited to, fly ash, cement kiln dust,
				  hydrated lime, and fine sawdust are used for mixing in the waste
				  solidification/stabilization process loading/unloading, transporting, and
				  mixing, they must be controlled so as to minimize particular matter emissions.
				  Controls to minimize particular matter emissions may include loading and
				  storing in enclosed containers, or mixing and unloading under conditions where
				  the materials cannot become airborne; and
(B) no site-generated visible emissions may
				  cross the property line for a period not to exceed 30 seconds in any six-minute
				  period, as determined by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
				  Test Method 22;
(4)
				  landfill cell construction, operation, and closures, including landfill gas
				  emissions and associated capture and control equipment;
(5) landfill mist spray systems to control
				  odor. These landfill mist spray systems will operate such that no visible
				  emissions may cross the property line for a period not to exceed 30 seconds in
				  any six-minute period, as determined by EPA Test Method 22;
(6) any other facility or group of facilities
				  that meets a permit by rule under Chapter 106 of this title (relating to
				  Permits by Rule) or a standard permit under Chapter 116, Subchapter F of this
				  title (relating to Standard Permits) with the exception of activities listed in
				  §
											330.985(d)(2)
				  of this title (relating to Applicability and Exceptions);
(7) leachate and landfill gas condensate
				  activities, which must be conducted as follows:
(A) leachate and/or landfill gas condensate
				  may be recirculated on-site at a rate not to exceed 100,000 gallons per day,
				  and in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in §
												330.177
				  of this title (relating to Leachate and Gas Condensate Recirculation);
				  and
(B) air emissions are
				  authorized from leachate and/or landfill gas condensate stored in tanks or
				  disposed in evaporation ponds that are lined in accordance with §
												330.331(b)
				  of this title (relating to Design Criteria), and meet the requirements in
				  §
												330.17 of
				  this title (relating to Technical Guidelines);
(8) fuel storage tanks, which must meet the
				  following requirements:
(A) storage and
				  transfer of gasoline, diesel fuel, or kerosene are authorized by this standard
				  permit;
(B) permanent gasoline
				  tanks must be located at least 500 feet from any off-property
				  receptor;
(C) total annual
				  throughput of gasoline for all tanks may not exceed 20,000 gallons per year
				  unless a vapor balance system as defined in §
												115.10 of
				  this title (relating to Definitions), is used; and
(D) records of annual throughput must be
				  maintained;
(9) tire
				  shredding, which may be conducted at a rate not to exceed 11 tons per hour.
				  Records of the amount of tires shredded per hour must be maintained;
(10) bioremediation pads, which must be
				  operated such that the pad must be located at least 165 feet from any
				  off-property receptor;
(11) the
				  GCCS, which must be designed to route total collected landfill gas to one of
				  the following control devices:
(A) flares
				  that satisfy requirements and are operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60,
				  Subpart WWW, as applicable;
(B) a
				  landfill gas-fired stationary, reciprocating internal combustion engine or a
				  landfill gas-fired turbine not used to generate electricity, that satisfies all
				  of the requirements of §
												106.4(a)(1)
				  of this title (relating to Requirements for Permitting by Rule) and §
												106.512
				  of this title (relating to Stationary Engines and Turbines);
(C) a landfill gas-fired stationary electric
				  generating unit that satisfies all of the requirements of Chapter 116,
				  Subchapter F of this title;
(D) a
				  landfill gas-fired boiler, heater, or other combustion unit, not including
				  stationary, reciprocating internal combustion engines or turbines, that
				  satisfies the maximum heat input and nitrous oxide requirements of §
												106.4(a)(1)
				  of this title and §
												106.183
				  of this title (relating to Boilers, Heaters, and Other Combustion Devices) and
				  applicable sections of Chapter 117 of this title (relating to Control of Air
				  Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds);
(E) a pollution control project that
				  satisfies all the requirements of §
												116.617
				  of this title (relating to Standard Permits for Pollution Control Projects).
				  Any facility or process added under this subsection is not considered a new
				  production facility for the purposes of §
												116.617
				  of this title; or
(F) a gas
				  treatment system that processes the collected gas to produce a product or
				  by-product for subsequent sale or use. All emissions from any atmospheric vent
				  from the gas treatment system must be subject to the requirements of
				  40
				  CFR §60.752(b)(2)(iii)(A) or
				  (B); and
(12) a temporary rock crusher that is used
				  exclusively for cell construction that satisfies all the requirements of the
				  Air Quality Standard Permit for Temporary Rock Crushers.
