(1) The standards under OAR 340-230-0300  through 0359 apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown, and
			 malfunction. Duration of startup, shutdown, or malfunction periods are limited
			 to 3 hours per occurrence, except as provided in subsection (1)(c) of this
			 rule. During periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, monitoring data must
			 be dismissed or excluded from compliance calculations, but must be recorded and
			 reported in accordance with the provisions of OAR 340-230-0350(1)(f).
(a) The startup period commences when the
			 affected facility begins the continuous burning of municipal solid waste and
			 does not include any warmup period when the affected facility is combusting
			 fossil fuel or other non municipal solid waste fuel, and no municipal solid
			 waste is being fed to the combustor.
(b) Continuous burning is the continuous,
			 semicontinuous, or batch feeding of municipal solid waste for purposes of waste
			 disposal, energy production, or providing heat to the combustion system in
			 preparation for waste disposal or energy production. The use of municipal solid
			 waste solely to provide thermal protection of the grate or hearth during the
			 startup period when municipal solid waste is not being fed to the grate is not
			 considered to be continuous burning.
(c) For purposes of compliance with the
			 carbon monoxide emissions limit in OAR 340-230-320(1), if a loss of boiler
			 water level control (e.g., boiler waterwall tube failure) or a loss of
			 combustion air control (e.g., loss of combustion air fan, induced draft fan,
			 combustion grate bar failure) is determined to be a malfunction, the duration
			 of the malfunction period is limited to 15 hours per occurrence. During such
			 periods of malfunction, monitoring data must be dismissed or excluded from
			 compliance calculations, but must be recorded and reported in accordance with
			 the provisions of OAR 340-230-0350(1)(f).

(1)
			 Compliance with the revised April 28, 2009 emission limits in OAR
			 340-230-0310  is required as expeditiously as practicable, but not later than April 28, 2009,
			 except as provided in section (2) of the rule.
(2) The owner or operator of an affected
			 facility who is planning an extensive emission control system upgrade may
			 petition the Administrator for a longer compliance schedule and must
			 demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrator the need for additional
			 time. If approved, the schedule may exceed the schedule in section (1) of this
			 rule, but cannot exceed May 10, 2011.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) No
			 person may operate the municipal waste combustor unit at loads greater than 110
			 percent of the maximum demonstrated load of the municipal waste combustion unit
			 (4-hour block average).
(2) No
			 person may operate the municipal waste combustion unit so that the temperature
			 at the inlet of the particulate matter control device exceeds 17O C above the
			 maximum demonstrated temperature of the particulate matter control device
			 (4-hour block average).
(3) If the
			 municipal waste combustion unit uses activated carbon to control dioxins/furans
			 or mercury emissions, an 8-hour block average carbon feed rate must be
			 maintained at or above the highest average level established during the most
			 recent dioxins/furans or mercury test.
(4) If the municipal waste combustion unit
			 uses activated carbon to control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, the total
			 carbon usage for each calendar quarter must be evaluated. The total amount of
			 carbon purchased and delivered to the municipal waste combustion plant must be
			 at or above the required quarterly usage of carbon. The owner or operator may
			 choose to evaluate required quarterly carbon usage on a municipal waste
			 combustion unit basis for each individual municipal waste combustion unit at
			 the plant. The calculation of the required quarterly usage of carbon must be
			 made using either equation 4 or 5 for plant basis or unit basis.
(a) Equation 4: Plant basis n C=_fi * hi i=1
			 Where C = required quarterly carbon usage for the plant in kilograms (or
			 pounds); fi = required carbon feed rate for the municipal waste combustion unit
			 in kilograms (or pounds) per hour. That is the average carbon feed rate during
			 the most recent mercury or dioxins/furans stack tests (whichever has a higher
			 feed rate); hi = number of hours the municipal waste combustion unit was in
			 operation during the calendar quarter (hours); n = number of municipal waste
			 combustion units, i, located at the plant.
(b) Equation 5: Unit basis C = f * h Where C
			 = required quarterly carbon usage for the unit in kilograms (or pounds); f =
			 required carbon feed rate for the municipal waste combustion unit in kilograms
			 (or pounds) per hour. That is the average carbon feed rate during the most
			 recent mercury or dioxins/furans stack tests (whichever has a higher feed
			 rate); h = number of hours the municipal waste combustion unit was in operation
			 during the calendar quarter (hours);

			 Salem-Keizer in the SKATS and listed in subsections (a) through (q) below:
(a) Bulk gasoline plants including transfer
			 of gasoline;

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) All existing
			 sources operating prior to November 15, 1990, located inside the areas cited in
			 OAR 340-232-0020(1)(a) or (1)(c), containing emissions units or devices for
			 which no categorical RACT requirements exist and which have potential emissions
			 before add-on controls of over 100 tons per year of VOC from aggregated,
			 non-regulated emission units, must have RACT requirements developed on a
			 case-by-case basis by DEQ. Sources that have complied with NSR requirements per
			 OAR 340 division 224 and are subject to Best Available Control Technology
			 (BACT) or Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements are presumed to
			 have met RACT requirements. A source may request RACT not be applied by
			 demonstrating to DEQ that its potential emissions before add-on controls are
			 less than 100 tons per year. Once a source becomes subject to RACT requirements
			 under this section, it will continue to be subject to RACT, unless VOC
			 emissions fall less than 100 tons per year and the source requests that RACT be
			 removed, by demonstrating to DEQ that their potential VOC emissions before
			 add-on controls are below 100 tons per year.
(2) Within 3 months of written notification
			 by DEQ of the applicability of this rule, or, for good cause shown, up to an
			 additional three months as approved by DEQ, the source must submit to DEQ a
			 complete analysis of RACT for each category of emissions unit at the source,
			 taking into account technical and economic feasibility of available control
			 technology, and the emission reductions each technology would provide. This
			 analysis does not need to include any emissions units subject to a specific
			 categorical RACT requirement under this division. These RACT requirements
			 approved by DEQ will be incorporated in the source's Air Contaminant Discharge
			 Permit, and will be effective upon approval by EPA as a source specific SIP
			 revision. The source must comply with the applicable RACT requirements
			 beginning one year from the date of notification by DEQ of EPA
			 approval.
(3) Failure by a source
			 to submit a RACT analysis required by section (2) does not excuse the source
			 from the obligation to comply with a RACT determination established by DEQ.
