NESHAP COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS

17.  At all times, including periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction, the permittee shall operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air pollution control equipment, in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels required by all relevant standards. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(1)]

17.a.  Malfunctions shall be corrected as soon as practicable after their occurrence in accordance with the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan required in Condition 19.

17.b.  Operation and maintenance requirements established pursuant to section 112 of the Act are enforceable independent of emissions limitations or other requirements in relevant standards.

18.  Determination of whether acceptable operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures (including the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan required in Condition 19), review of operation and maintenance records and inspection of the source. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(2)]

19.  Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan: The permittee shall develop and implement a written plan as described in 40 CFR §63.6(e)(3) that contains specific procedures to be followed for operating the source and maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction and a program of corrective action for malfunctioning process and control systems used to comply with the standard. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3) and §63.1516(a)]

19.a.  This plan shall be developed by the permittee by the source's compliance date for the relevant standards. The purpose of the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan is to:

19.a.i.  Ensure that, at all times, the permittee operates and maintains affected sources, including associated air pollution control equipment, in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels required by all relevant standards;

19.a.ii.  Ensure that the permittee is prepared to correct malfunctions as soon as practicable after their occurrence in order to minimize excess emissions of hazardous air pollutants; and

19.a.iii.  Reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction, including corrective action taken to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation.

19.b.  During periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction, the permittee shall operate and maintain the affected source(s) (including associated air pollution control equipment) in accordance with the procedures specified in the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan developed under Condition 19.a. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(ii)]

19.c.  When actions taken by the permittee during a startup, shutdown or malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) are consistent with the procedures specified in the affected source's startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, the permittee shall keep records for that event that demonstrate that the procedures specified in the plan were followed. These records may take the form of a "checklist," or other effective form of recordkeeping, that confirms conformance with the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan for that event. In addition, the permittee shall keep records of these events as specified in Condition 61 (and elsewhere in 40 CFR part 63), including records of the occurrence and duration of each startup, shutdown or malfunction of operation and each malfunction of the air pollution control equipment. Furthermore, the permittee shall confirm that actions taken during the relevant reporting period during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction were consistent with the affected source's startup, shutdown and malfunction plan in the semiannual (or more frequent) startup, shutdown and malfunction report required in Condition 75. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(iii)]

19.d.  If an action taken by the permittee during a startup, shutdown or malfunction (including an action taken to correct a malfunction) is not consistent with the procedures specified in the affected source's startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, the permittee shall record the actions taken for that event and shall report such actions within 2 working days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, followed by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the event, in accordance with Condition 75.a (unless the permittee makes alternative reporting arrangements, in advance, with the Administrator).

[40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(v)]

19.f.  To satisfy the requirements of this section to develop a startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, the permittee may use the affected source's standard operating procedures (SOP) manual, or an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other plan, provided the alternative plans meet all the requirements of this condition and are made available for inspection when requested by the Administrator. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(vi)]

19.g.  Based on the results of a determination made under Condition 18, the Administrator may require that the permittee make changes to the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan for that source. The Administrator may require reasonable revisions to a startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, if the Administrator finds that the plan: [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(vii)]

19.g.i.  Does not address a startup, shutdown or malfunction event that has occurred;

19.g.ii.  Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including associated air pollution control equipment) during a startup, shutdown or malfunction event in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels required by all relevant standards; or

19.g.iii.  Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting malfunctioning process and/or air pollution control equipment as quickly as practicable.

19.h.  If the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan fails to address or inadequately addresses an event that meets the characteristics of a malfunction but was not included in the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan at the time the permittee developed the plan, the permittee shall revise the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan within 45 days after the event to include detailed procedures for operating and maintaining the source during similar malfunction events and a program of corrective action for similar malfunctions of process or air pollution control equipment. [40 CFR §63.6(e)(3)(viii)]

20.  The permittee must keep records of each startup, shutdown and malfunction event and record and report if any action taken during a startup, shutdown or malfunction is not consistent with the procedures in the SSM plan. In addition to the information required in Conditions 19.a through 19.h, the plan must include the following: . [40 CFR §63.1516(a)]

20.a.  Procedures to be followed if a monitoring device measures an operating parameter outside the limit(s) established under Conditions 43 or if visible emissions from an exhaust stack indicating abnormal operation of a control device are observed by the permittee;

20.b.  Procedures to determine and record the cause of any malfunction and the time the malfunction began and ended; and

20.c.  Corrective actions to be taken in the event of a malfunction of a process or control device, including procedures for recording the actions taken to correct the malfunction or minimize emissions.

21.  Compliance with nonopacity emission standards: The nonopacity emission standards set forth in 40 CFR part 63 apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction, and as otherwise specified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR. [40 CFR §63.6(f)]
