Part A, 6 | Rock, concrete, or asphalt crushing, both portable and stationary more than 5,000 but less than 25,000 tons per year. |
1.0 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
1.1 1 | Permitted Activities | The permittee is allowed to discharge air contaminants from processes and activities related to the air contaminant source(s) listed on the first page of this permit until this permit expires, is modified, revoked or rescinded as long as the permittee complies with the conditions of this permit. | |
1.2 | Relation to local land use laws | This permit is not valid in Lane County, or at any location where the operation of the permittee’s processes, activities, and insignificant activities would be in violation of any local land use or zoning laws. |
2.0 EMISSION STANDARDS AND LIMITS
2.1 Production limits | The permittee is prohibited from increasing production or throughput to 25,000 tons or more per year without first applying for and being assigned to General Air Contaminant Discharge Permit AQGP-008. The permittee is prohibited from producing 2,450 tons or more per day when operating inside the Medford/Ashland AQMA. |
2.2 Visible emission limits | Emissions from any air contaminant source must not equal or exceed 20% opacity as a six-minute block average. “Opacity" means the degree to which an emission reduces transmission of light and obscures the view of an object in the background. |
2.3 Work Practices | The use of water sprays or equivalent control is required when the source of minerals to be crushed does not contain adequate moisture to suppress dust conditions. |
2.4 Fugitive Emissions | The permittee must take reasonable precautions from preventing fugitive dust emissions. Reasonable precautions include, but are not limited to: |
a. Treating vehicular traffic areas of the plant site under the control of the permittee. | |
b. Operating all air contaminant generating processes so that fugitive type dust associated with the operation will be adequately controlled at all times. | |
c. Storing materials collected from air pollution control equipment in a covered container or other method equally effective in preventing the material from becoming airborne during storage and transfer. | |
d. Prompt removal of “tracked-out” material from paved streets. | |
e. While operating in the Medford/Ashland AQMA and the Lakeview Urban Growth Area, the permittee must prepare and implement a site-specific Fugitive Emission Control Plan and an Operation and Maintenance Plan. | |
2.5 Particulate Matter Fallout | The permittee must not cause or permit the emission 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. |
2.6 Nuisance and Odors | The permittee must not cause or allow air contaminants from any source to cause a nuisance. Nuisance conditions will be verified by DEQ personnel. |
2.7 Other Regulations | In addition to the specific requirements listed in this permit, the permittee must comply with all other legal requirements enforceable by DEQ. |

3.4 Relocation Notice | The permittee must not install or operate the facility or any portion of the facility at any new site without first providing written notice to the Permit Coordinator in the appropriate regional office. The written notice must include the date of the proposed move, approximate dates of operation, a detailed map showing access to the new site, and a description of the air pollution controls and procedures to be installed, operated, and practiced at the new site. Additional permits may be required if the permittee operates individual components of the facility at more than one site at a time. |
3.5 Construction or Modification Notices | The permittee must notify DEQ before adding new or modifying existing equipment to the extent that process equipment is substantially changed or added to, or emissions are significantly changed or increased. |
3.6 Notice of Change of Ownership or Company Name | The permittee must promptly notify DEQ of any change of mailing address, company name, or plant ownership. The permit will expire 60 days after a change in the legal entity owning/operating the facility unless application, with appropriate fees, is made to transfer the permit to the new entity. |

5.0 General Conditions
5.1 Masking of Emissions | The permittee must not cause or permit the installation of any device or use any means designed to mask the emissions of an air contaminant that causes or is likely to cause detriment to health, safety, or welfare of any person or otherwise violate any other regulation or requirement. |
