1.0  GENERAL EMISSION STANDARDS AND LIMITS

 

1.1.  Visible Emissions

Emissions from any air contaminant source must not equal or exceed 20% opacity for a period aggregating more than 3 minutes in any one hour.

1.2.  Particulate Matter Emissions

The permittee must comply with the following particulate matter emission limits, as applicable:

 

a.  Particulate matter emissions from the boiler must not exceed 0.1 grains per standard cubic foot, corrected to 50% excess air.

 

b.  Particulate matter emissions from any air contaminant source other than the boiler and fugitive emission sources must not exceed 0.1 grains per standard cubic foot.

1.3.  Fugitive Emissions

The permittee must take reasonable precautions to prevent fugitive dust emissions by:

 

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 collected materials 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.

1.4.  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. DEQ will verify that the deposition exists and will notify the permittee that the deposition must be controlled.

1.5.  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.

1.6.  Fuels and Fuel Sulfur Content

The permittee must not use any fuel other than natural gas, propane or butane.

 

 

 

2.0  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION STANDARDS

 

2.1.  Plant Production

Plant production must not exceed 50,000,000 board feet per year without first notifying the Department.

2.2.  Pressure Treatment Process

VOC emissions from the pressure treatment process must not exceed 13 pounds per thousand board feet each calendar month.

2.3.  Veneer Dryer

The permittee must not cause or allow the operation of the veneer dryer such that visible air contaminants emitted from the dryer stack(s) or emission point(s) exceed:

 

a.  An average operating opacity of 10%; or

 

b.  A maximum opacity of 20%

 

“Average operating opacity” means the opacity of emission determined using EPA Method 9 on any three days within a 12-month period which are separated from each other by at least 30 days; a violation of the average operating opacity limitation is judged to have occurred if the opacity of emissions on each of the three days is greater than the specified average operating opacity limitation. “Maximum opacity” means the opacity as determined by EPA Method 9.

 

 

 

3.0  PLANT SITE EMISSION LIMITS

 

3.1.  Plant Site Emission Limits (PSEL)

Plant site emissions must not exceed the following:

 

Pollutant

Limit

Units

 

PM

24

tons per year

 

PM10

14

tons per year

 

PM2.5

tons per year

 

CO

99

tons per year

 

VOC

GHG

74,000

tons CO2e/yr

  

3.2.  Annual Period

The annual plant site emissions limits apply to any 12-consecutive calendar month period.

 

 

4.0  COMPLIANCE DEMONSTRATION

 

4.1.  Monitoring Requirements

a.  At least once each quarter for a minimum period of 30 minutes, the permittee must visually survey the entire plant for visible emissions. If visible emissions are detected for more than 5% of the survey period (90 seconds) from an emission source, the permittee must either take corrective action to eliminate the visible emissions or conduct a Method 9 test within 24 hours of the survey period. The permittee must maintain records of the surveys, corrective action (if necessary), and Method 9 tests (if conducted).

 

b.  The permittee must inspect each baghouse and cyclone at least monthly and replace the bags or make other repairs as necessary to retain efficiency. The permittee must maintain records of the inspections and any corrective action.

4.2.  PSEL Compliance Monitoring

Compliance with the PSEL is determined for each 12-consecutive calendar month period based on the following calculation for each pollutant, except GHG:

 

E  =  S(EF x P)/2000 lbs

Where,

E  =  Pollutant emissions (ton/yr);

EF  =  Pollutant emission factor (see Condition 10.0);

P  =  Process production (see Condition 11.0)

4.3.  Emission Factors

The permittee must use the default emission factors provided in Condition 10.0 for calculating pollutant emissions, unless alternative emission factors are approved by DEQ. The permittee may request or DEQ may require using alternative emission factors provided they are based on actual test data or other documentation (e.g., AP-42 compilation of emission factors) that has been reviewed and approved by DEQ.

4.4.  VOC Mass Balance

VOC emissions for each 12 consecutive calendar month period are calculated by the following formula:

 

EVOC/MB  =  å(RMi * Di * VOCi) x K

Where,

EVOC/MB  =  VOC emissions based on material balance (tons)

RMi  =  Amount of each type of VOC containing raw material used in gallons

Di  =  Density of each type of VOC containing raw material used in lbs/gal.

VOCi  =  VOC content of raw material (weight fraction form MSDS)

K  =  Conversion constant = 1 ton/2000 lb

4.5.  VOC Total for Facility

The total VOC emissions are the sum of the emissions calculated in Conditions 4.2 and 4.4.

4.6.  Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Registration and Reporting

If the calendar year emission rate of greenhouse gases (CO2e) is greater than or equal to 2,756 tons (2,500 metric tons), the permittee must register and report its greenhouse gas emissions with DEQ in accordance with OAR 340-215.

4.7.  T-Butyl Acetate (TBAC)

TBAC is not a VOC for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the VOC Plant Site Emission Limit. However, TBAC emissions must be determined using the procedures in Condition 4.4, as appropriate, and reported separately in the annual report.

 

 

 

5.0  RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS

 

5.1.  Operation and Maintenance

The permittee must maintain the following records related to the operation and maintenance of the plant and associated air contaminant control devices:

 

a.  Quarterly visible emission surveys and corrective action or Method 9 tests, if applicable; and

 

b.  Process records identified in Condition 11.0.

5.2.  Excess Emissions

The permittee must maintain records of excess emissions as defined in OAR 340-214-0300 through 340-214-0340 (recorded on occurrence). Typically, excess emissions are caused by process upsets, startups, shutdowns or scheduled maintenance. In many cases, excess emissions are evident when visible emissions are greater than 20% opacity for 3 minutes or more in any 60-minute period. If there is an ongoing excess emission caused by an upset or breakdown, the permittee must cease operation of the equipment or facility no later than 48 hours after the beginning of the excess emissions, unless continued operation is approved by DEQ in accordance with OAR 340-214-0330(4).

5.3.  Complaint Log

The permittee must maintain a log of all written complaints and complaints received via telephone that specifically refer to air pollution concerns associated to the permitted facility. The log must include a record of the permittee’s actions to investigate the validity of each complaint and a record of actions taken for complaint resolution.

5.4.  Retention of Records

Unless otherwise specified, all records must be maintained on site for a period of two (2) years and made available to DEQ upon request.

 

 

6.0  REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

 

6.1.  Excess Emissions

The permittee must notify DEQ of excess emissions events if the excess emission is of a nature that could endanger public health.

 

a.  Such notice must be provided as soon as possible, but never more than one hour after becoming aware of the problem. Notice must be made to the regional office identified in Condition 7.4 by email, telephone, facsimile or in person.

 

b.  If the excess emissions occur during non-business hours, the permittee must notify DEQ by calling the Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS). The current number is 1-800-452-0311.

a.  Constructing, installing or establishing a new stationary source that will cause an increase in any regulated pollutant emissions;

 

b.  Making any physical change or change in operation of an existing stationary source that will cause an increase, on an hourly basis at full production, in any regulated pollutant emissions; or

 

c.  Constructing or modifying any air pollution control equipment.
