1.0  GENERAL EMISSION STANDARDS AND LIMITS

 

1.1.  Visible Emissions

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

 

a.  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.

 

b.  Emissions from any air contaminant source other than the boiler must not equal or exceed 20% opacity for a period aggregating more than 30 seconds 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 12% CO2 or 50% excess air.

 

b.  Particulate matter emissions from any air contaminant source installed, constructed, or modified after June 1, 1970 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.  Operating all air contaminant-generating processes so that fugitive type dust associated with the operation will be adequately controlled at all times.

 

b.  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. The Department 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 Department personnel.

1.6.  Fuels and Fuel Sulfur Content

The permittee must not use any fuel other than natural gas, propane, butane, ASTM grade fuel oils, or on-specification used oil.

 

 

 

a.  Fuel oils must not contain more than:

 

i.  0.3% sulfur by weight for ASTM Grade 1 distillate oil;

 

ii.  0.5% sulfur by weight for ASTM Grade 2 distillate oil;

 

iii.  1.75% sulfur by weight for residual oil;

 

b.  The permittee is allowed to use on-specification used oil as fuel which contains no more than 0.5% sulfur by weight. The permittee must obtain analyses from the marketer or, if generated on site, have the used oil analyzed, so that it can be demonstrated that each shipment of oil does not exceed the used oil specifications contained in 40 CFR Part 279.11, Table 1.

 

2.0  OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

 

2.1.  Work practices

The permittee must perform a maintenance service on the boiler at least once in every 2-year period. As a minimum, the service must include an inspection of the burners and refractory chamber; cleaning, adjustment, and repair as necessary. For water tube boilers, the service must include flushing the tubes.

 

 

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

 

SO2

39

3.2.  Annual Period

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

 

 

4.0  COMPLIANCE DEMONSTRATION

 

4.1.  PSEL Compliance Monitoring

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

E  =  S(EF x P)/2000 lbs

where,

E  =  pollutant emissions (tons/yr);

EF  =  pollutant emission factor (see Condition 11.0);

P  =  process production (see Condition 5.1)

4.2.  Emission Factors

 

 

 

 

 

 

The permittee must use the default emission factors provided in condition 11.0 for calculating pollutant emissions, unless alternative emission factors are approved by the Department. The permittee may request or the Department 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 the Department.

 

4.3.  Mass Balance without controls

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

 

EVOC-A  =  [å(CX * DX * KX) – W] x 1ton/2000 pounds

 

Where,

 

EVOC-A  =  Annual VOC emissions in tons

C  =  Material usage for the period in gallons

D  =  Material density in pounds per gallon

K  =  VOC/HAP concentration expressed as a decimal

X  =  Subscript X represents a specific material

W  =  Weight of VOC shipped offsite

 

  

 

 

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 on a monthly basis:

 

a.  Quantity of natural gas combusted, in million cubic feet;

 

b.  Quantity and type of fuel oils combusted, in thousand gallons;

 

c.  Hours of operation of the corrugators;

 

d.  Quantity of inks used, in pounds;

e.  Quantity of scrap paper/containerboard baled, in tons;

f.  Weighted average VOC content of inks, in percent;

g.  Gallons of VOC/HAP containing materials used, and percent of HAP, by weight;

h.  Gallons of VOC/HAP waste material shipped off site;

i.  Calculations required in Conditions 4.1 and 4.3;

j.  Percentage of containerboard that has been waxed

 

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 the Department 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 the Department upon request.
