[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 40, Volume 12] [Revised as of July 1, 2006] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 40CFR63.1453] [Page 43-45] TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED) PART 63_NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS FOR SOURCE CATEGORIES--Table of Contents Subpart QQQ_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Primary Copper Smelting Sec. 63.1453 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limitations, work practice standards, and operation and maintenance requirements that apply to me? (a) Particulate matter emission limits. For each affected source subject to a particulate matter emission limit Sec. 63.1444 or Sec. 63.1446 as applies to you, you must demonstrate continuous compliance according to the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section. (1) For each copper concentrate dryer, smelting furnace, slag cleaning vessel, and copper converter department subject to a total particulate matter emission limit in Sec. 63.1444 or Sec. 63.1446 as applies to you, you must demonstrate continuous compliance by meeting the conditions in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section. (i) Maintain the average concentration of total particulate matter in the gases discharged from the affected source at or below the applicable emission limit. (ii) Conduct subsequent performance tests following your initial performance test no less frequently than once per year according to the performance test procedures in Sec. 63.1450(a). (2) For each smelting furnace, slag cleaning vessel, and copper converter department subject to the nonsulfuric acid particulate matter emission limit in Sec. 63.1444 as applies to you, you must demonstrate continuous compliance by meeting the conditions in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section. (i) Maintain the average concentration of nonsulfuric acid particulate matter in the process off-gas discharged from the affected source at or below 6.2 mg/dscm. (ii) Conduct subsequent performance tests following your initial performance test no less frequently than once per year according to the performance test procedures in Sec. 63.1450(b). (b) Copper converter department capture systems. You must demonstrate continuous compliance of the copper converter department capture system by meeting the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section. (1) Operate the copper converter department capture system at all times during blowing at or above the lowest values or settings established for the operating limits and demonstrated to achieve the opacity limit according to the applicable requirements of this subpart; (2) Inspect and maintain the copper converter department capture system according to the applicable requirements in Sec. 63.1447 and recording all information needed to document conformance with these requirements; (3) Monitor the copper converter department capture system according to the requirements in Sec. 63.1452(a) and collecting, reducing, and recording the monitoring data for each of the operating limit parameters according to the applicable requirements of this subpart; and (4) Conduct subsequent performance tests according to the requirements of Sec. 63.1450(c) following your initial performance test no less frequently than once per year to demonstrate that the opacity of any visible emissions exiting the roof monitors or roof exhaust fans on the building housing the copper converter department does not exceed 4 percent opacity. (c) Baghouses. For each baghouse subject to the operating limit for the bag leak detection system alarm in [[Page 44]] Sec. 63.1444(f) or Sec. 63.1446(c), you must demonstrate continuous compliance by meeting the requirements in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this section. (1) Maintain the baghouse such that the bag leak detection system alarm does not sound for more than 5 percent of the operating time during any semiannual reporting period. To determine the percent of time the alarm sounded use the procedures in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (v) of this section. (i) Alarms that occur due solely to a malfunction of the bag leak detection system are not included in the calculation. (ii) Alarms that occur during startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not included in the calculation if the condition is described in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and you operated the source during such periods in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1). (iii) Count 1 hour of alarm time for each alarm when you initiated procedures to determine the cause of the alarm within 1 hour. (iv) Count the actual amount of time you took to initiate procedures to determine the cause of the alarm if you did not initiate procedures to determine the cause of the alarm within 1 hour of the alarm. (v) Calculate the percentage of time the alarm on the bag leak detection system sounds as the ratio of the sum of alarm times to the total operating time multiplied by 100. (2) Maintain records of the times the bag leak detection system alarm sounded, and for each valid alarm, the time you initiated corrective action, the corrective action(s) taken, and the date on which corrective action was completed. (3) Inspect and maintain each baghouse according to the requirements in Sec. 63.1451(b)(2) and recording all information needed to document conformance with these requirements. If you increase or decrease the sensitivity of the bag leak detection system beyond the limits specified in Sec. 63.1451(b)(1)(vi), you must include a copy of the required written certification by a responsible official in the next semiannual compliance report. (d) Venturi wet scrubbers. For each venturi wet scrubber subject to the operating limits for pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate in Sec. 63.1444(g) or Sec. 63.1446(d), you must demonstrate continuous compliance by meeting the requirements of paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section. (1) Maintain the hourly average pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate at levels no lower than those established during the initial or subsequent performance test; (2) Inspect and maintain each venturi wet scrubber CPMS according to Sec. 63.1452(c) and recording all information needed to document conformance with these requirements; and (3) Collect and reduce monitoring data for pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate according to Sec. 63.1452(e) and recording all information needed to document conformance with these requirements. (e) Other control devices. For each control device other than a baghouse or venturi wet scrubber subject to the operating limits for site-specific operating parameters in Sec. 63.1444(h) or Sec. 63.1446(e), you must demonstrate continuous compliance by meeting the requirements of paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this section: (1) Maintain the hourly average rate at levels no lower than those established during the initial or subsequent performance test; (2) Inspect and maintain each CPMS operated according to Sec. 63.1452(d) and record all information needed to document conformance with these requirements; and (3) Collect and reduce monitoring data for selected parameters according to Sec. 63.1452(e) and recording all information needed to document conformance with these requirements. (f) Fugitive dust sources. For each fugitive dust source subject to work practice standards in Sec. 63.1445, you must demonstrate continuous compliance by implementing all of fugitive control measures specified for the source in your written fugitive dust control plan.
