1.f.  covering, at all times when in motion, open bodied trucks transporting materials likely to become airborne.

 

2.  Monitoring Requirement: At least once each week for a minimum period of 30 minutes, the permittee must visually survey the plant for any sources of excess fugitive emissions. For the purpose of this survey, excess fugitive emissions are considered to be any visible emissions that leave the plant site boundaries for more than 18 seconds in a six minute period using EPA Method 22. If sources of visible emissions are identified, the permittee must: [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(a)]

 

2.a.  immediately take corrective action to minimize the fugitive emissions, including but not limited to those actions identified in condition 1; or

2.b.  develop and implement a fugitive emission control plan, if requested by DEQ;

2.c.  Recordkeeping: The permittee must maintain records of the fugitive emissions surveys, corrective actions (if necessary), and/or the instances when the fugitive emission control plan was implemented and the results of the implementation.

 

Nuisance Conditions

 

3.  Applicable Requirement: The permittee must not cause or allow air contaminants from any source to cause a nuisance. Nuisance conditions will be verified by DEQ personnel. [OAR 340-208-0300] This condition is enforceable only by the State.

 

4.  Applicable Requirement: The permittee must not cause or permit the deposition of any particulate matter larger than 250 microns in size at sufficient duration or quantity, as to create an observable deposition upon the real property of another person. [OAR 340-208-0450] This condition is enforceable only by the State.

 

5.  Monitoring Requirement: The permittee must maintain a log of each nuisance complaint received by the permittee during the operation of the facility. Documentation must include date of contact, time of observed nuisance condition, description of nuisance condition, location of receptor, status of plant operation during the observed period, and time of response to complainant. A plant representative must immediately investigate the condition following the receipt of the nuisance complaint and a plant representative must provide a response to the complainant within 24 hours, if possible. This condition is only enforceable by the state. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(a)]

Insignificant Activities Requirements

 

22.  DEQ acknowledges that insignificant emissions units (IEUs) identified by rule as either categorically insignificant activities or aggregate insignificant emissions as defined in OAR 340-200-0020 exist at facilities required to obtain an Oregon Title V Operating Permit. IEUs must comply with all applicable requirements. In general, the requirements that could apply to IEUs are incorporated as follows:

 

22.a.  OAR 340-208-0110 (20% opacity)

22.b.  OAR 340-228-0210 (0.1 gr/dscf corrected to 12% CO2 or 50% excess air for fuel burning equipment)

22.c.  OAR 340-226-0210 (0.1 gr/dscf for non-fugitive, non-fuel burning equipment)

22.d.  OAR 340-226-0310 (process weight limit for non-fugitive, non-fuel burning process equipment)

 

Unless otherwise specified in this permit or an applicable requirement, DEQ is not requiring any testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting for the applicable emissions limits and standards that apply to IEUs. However, if testing were performed for compliance purposes, the permittee would be required to use the test methods identified in the definitions of “opacity” and “particulate matter” in OAR 340-208-0010 and perform the testing in accordance with DEQ’s Source Sampling Manual.

 

GENERAL CONDITIONS

 

G1.  General Provision

 

Terms not otherwise defined in this permit have the meaning assigned to such terms in the referenced regulation.

 

G2.  Reference materials

 

Where referenced in this permit, the versions of the following materials are effective as of the dates noted unless otherwise specified in this permit:
