1. Respondent must install one or more baghouses to control all furnaces that use cadmium or chromium (or entire list of metals) by July 1, 2016.
2. Baghouse requirements:
a. Baghouses must be designed to remove at least 99.0 percent of all particulate matter, as measure by DEQ Method 5, at the maximum design air flow rate and particulate matter loading.
a. A baghouse may not be operated with an airflow rate that exceeds the design airflow rate.
b. Baghouses may control emissions from more than one furnace, provided the requirements in (a) and (b) above are met at all times.
c. Each baghouse must be equipped with a differential pressure gauge to monitor pressure drop across the baghouse. (continuous monitoring of pressure drop?)
d. The design of all baghouses must be approved by DEQ before installation.
e. The respondent must submit a Notice of Intent to Construct in accordance with OAR 340-210-XXXX no later than 30 days prior to the date they begin installation.
f. After commencing operation of any baghouse, Respondent must record the differential pressure reading at least one per day of operation.
3. Prior to completing the installation of the baghouse(s) required by this rule, the respondent must comply with the following:
a. Raw materials that contain compounds of chromium VI or arsenic may not be used in any glass-making furnace;
b. Raw materials that contain compounds of chromium III may be used in no more than ____ uncontrolled glass-making furnaces in any single day (or pounds/day);
c. Raw materials that contain compounds of cadmium may be used in no more than ____ uncontrolled glass-making furnace in any single day (or pounds/day).
4. On and after July 1, 2016, raw materials containing compounds of cadmium or chromium may not be used in any uncontrolled glass-making furnace.
5. Glassmaking furnaces that are controlled by a baghouse that meets the design requirements detailed above are not subject to the limitations detailed above except at no time may arsenic or chromium VI be used as a raw material.
6. If a weekly average of the ambient monitoring data of any of the pollutants in the table below (except chromium III usage for chromium VI) exceeds the stop usage action level, the respondent must cease the use of the identified metal in any uncontrolled furnaces upon being notified to do so by DEQ.
7. If a weekly average of the ambient monitoring data of any of the pollutants in the table below (except chromium III usage for chromium VI) exceeds the reduce usage level, the respondent must reduce usage of the identified metal any uncontrolled furnaces to no more than 50% of the Maximum Daily Usage level upon being notified to do so by DEQ.
Action Levels (ng/m3)* | |||
Pollutant | Stop Usage | Reduce Usage | Maximum Daily Usage |
Chromium VI | 8 | 4 | |
Cadmium | 60 | 30 | |
Lead | 150 | 150 | |
Cobalt | 10,000 | 5,000 | |
Nickel | 200 | 100 | |
Manganese | 9,000 | 4,500 |
*Stop usage = 100 x DEQ Ambient Benchmark Concentration except lead
Reduce usage = 50 x DEQ Ambient Benchmark Concentration except lead
8. Respondent will pay the following penalties for any
9. Respondent must perform the following source testing on one baghouse controlled furnace within 60 days of commencing operation of the baghouse:
a. Test baghouse inlet and baghouse outlet for chromium VI;
b. The test must be performed while producing glass with a chromium content to be agreed upon by DEQ;
c. A source test plan must be submitted at least 30 days before conducting the source test; and
d. The source test plan must be approved by DEQ before conducting the source test.
10. Respondent will be subject to any rules adopted by EQC that may pertain to the control of toxic air pollutants.
11. This agreement shall terminate upon mutual agreement by the parties or five years after it becomes effective, whichever comes first.
