PART 63_NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS FOR 

SOURCE CATEGORIES--Table of Contents

 

 Subpart AAAAA_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

                      for Lime Manufacturing Plants

 

Sec. 63.7121  How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the 

emission limitations standard?



    (a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emission 

limitation in Tables 1 and 2 to this subpart that applies to you 

according to the methods specified in Tables 5 and 6 to this subpart.

    (b) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each 

operating limit, opacity limit, and VE limit in Tables 2 and 6 to this 

subpart that applies to you. This includes periods of startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction. These instances are deviations from the emission 

limitations in this subpart. These deviations must be reported according 

to the requirements in Sec. 63.7131.

    (c) You must operate in accordance with the SSMP during periods of 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction.

    (d) Consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations 

that occur during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not 

violations if you demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that 

you were operating in accordance with the SSMP. The Administrator will 

determine whether deviations that occur during a period of startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction are violations, according to the provisions in 

Sec. 63.6(e).

    (e) For each PSH operation subject to an opacity limit as specified 

in Table 1 to this subpart, and any vents from buildings subject to an 

opacity limit, you must conduct a VE check according to item 1 in Table 

6 to this subpart, and as follows:



[[Page 46]]



    (1) Conduct visual inspections that consist of a visual survey of 

each stack or process emission point over the test period to identify if 

there are VE, other than condensed water vapor.

    (2) Select a position at least 15 but not more 1,320 feet from the 

affected emission point with the sun or other light source generally at 

your back.

    (3) The observer conducting the VE checks need not be certified to 

conduct EPA Method 9 in appendix A to part 60 of this chapter, but must 

meet the training requirements as described in EPA Method 22 of appendix 

A to part 60 of this chapter.

    (f) For existing lime kilns and their associated coolers, you may 

perform VE measurements in accordance with EPA Method 9 of appendix A to 

part 60 in lieu of installing a COMS or PM detector if any of the 

conditions in paragraphs (f)(1) or (3) of this section exist:

    (1) You use a FF for PM control, and the FF is under positive 

pressure and has multiple stacks; or

    (2) The control device exhausts through a monovent; or

    (3) The installation of a COMS in accordance with PS-1 of appendix B 

to part 60 is infeasible.
