SECTION 212.124 EXCEPTIONS
Section 212.124 Exceptions
a) Sections 212.122 and 212.123 will not apply to emissions of
water or water vapor from an emission unit.
b) An emission unit that has obtained an adjusted opacity
standard in compliance with Section 212.126 will be subject to that standard
rather than the limitations of Section 212.122 or 212.123.
c) Compliance with Particulate Emissions Limitations as a Defense.
1) For all emission units that are not subject to Section 111 or
112 of the CAA and Section 212.201, 212.202, 212.203, or 212.204 but are
subject to Section 212.122 or 212.123: the opacity limitations of Sections
212.122 and 212.123 will not apply if it is shown that the emission unit was,
at the time of emission, in compliance with the applicable particulate
emissions limitations of Subparts D through T.
2) For all emission units that are not subject to Section 111 or
112 of the CAA but are subject to Section 212.201, 212.202, 212.203, or
212.204:
A) An exceedance of the limitations of Section 212.122 or 212.123 will
constitute a violation of the applicable particulate limitations of Subparts D
through T. It will be a defense to a violation of the applicable particulate
limitations if, during a subsequent performance test conducted within a
reasonable time not to exceed 60 days, under the same operating conditions for
the unit and the control devices, and in accordance with Method 5, 40 CFR 60,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113, the owner or operator shows that
the emission unit is in compliance with the particulate emission limitations.
B) It will be a defense to an exceedance of the opacity limit if,
during a subsequent performance test conducted within a reasonable time not to
exceed 60 days, under the same operating conditions of the emission unit and
the control devices, and in accordance with Method 5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix
A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113, the owner or operator shows
that the emission unit is in compliance with the allowable particulate
emissions limitation while, simultaneously, having visible emissions equal to
or greater than the opacity exceedance as originally observed.
d) During
startup of coal-fired boiler 1 or 2 at the Baldwin Energy Complex, coal-fired
boiler 1 or 2 at the Kincaid Power Station, coal-fired boiler 1 at Newton Power
Station, or coal-fired boiler 51, 52, 61, or 62 at the Powerton Generating
Station, or malfunction or breakdown of these boilers or the air pollution
control equipment serving these boilers, when a six-minute average opacity
exceeds the applicable limitation in Section 212.122(a) or 212.123(a),
compliance with the limitation may alternatively be demonstrated as follows:
1) Alternative
Averaging Period.
A) For
Baldwin Energy Complex coal-fired boilers 1 and 2, compliance for that
six-minute period may be determined based on opacity readings averaged over a
period of up to one hour beginning with the six-minute period in excess of the
applicable standard.
B) For
Kincaid Power Station coal-fired boilers 1 and 2, Newton Power Station
coal-fired boiler 1, and Powerton Generating Station coal-fired boilers 51, 52,
61, and 62, compliance for that six-minute period may be determined based on
opacity readings averaged over a period of up to three hours beginning with the
six-minute period in excess of the applicable standard.
2) Recordkeeping and
Reporting.
A) Any owner
or operator complying with the alternative averaging period in subsection (d)(1)
must maintain records of these average opacity calculations and report these calculations
to the Agency as part of the next quarterly excess emissions report for the
source.
B) For each startup, the report
must include:
i) The date, time, and
duration of the startup.
ii) A description of the
startup.
iii) The reasons for the
startup.
iv) An
indication of whether written startup procedures were followed. If any were
not, the report must describe all departures from established procedures and all
reasons the procedures could not be followed.
v) A
description of all actions taken to minimize the magnitude or duration of
opacity requiring the use of the alternative averaging period in subsection (d)(1).
vi) An
explanation of whether similar incidents could be prevented in the future and,
if so, a description of the actions taken or to be taken to prevent similar
incidents in the future.
vii) Confirmation
that the requirements of subsection (d)(3) have been fulfilled.
C) For each
malfunction and breakdown, the report must include:
i) The
date, time, and duration (i.e., the length of time during which operation
continued with opacity exceeding the applicable limitation in Section
212.122(a) or 212.123(a) on a six-minute average basis) until corrective
actions were taken or the boiler was taken out of service.
ii) A description of the
incident.
iii) Any
corrective actions used to reduce the magnitude or duration of opacity requiring
the use of the alternative averaging period in subsection (d)(1).
iv) Confirmation
that the requirements of subsections (d)(2)(D) and (d)(3) have been fulfilled.
D) Any
person who causes or allows the continued operation of a coal-fired boiler
during a malfunction or breakdown of the coal-fired boiler or related air
pollution control equipment when that continued operation would require compliance
with the alternative averaging period in subsection (d)(1) must immediately
report the incident to the Agency by telephone at 217-782-3397 and as otherwise
provided in the operating permit. After that, this person must comply with all
lawful directives of the Agency regarding the incident.
3) Work
Practices. Any person relying on the alternative averaging period in subsection
(d)(1) must comply with the following work practices.
A) Operate
the coal-fired boiler and related air pollution control equipment in a manner
consistent with good engineering practice for minimizing opacity during
startup, malfunction, or breakdown.
B) Use
good engineering practices and best efforts to minimize the frequency and
duration of operation in startup, malfunction, and breakdown.
e) During
startup of the emission unit designated Kiln 1 or Kiln 2 at the petroleum coke
calcining facility located in Robinson, Illinois, when average opacity exceeds
30 percent for a six-minute period, under Section 212.123(a), compliance with
Section 212.123(a) may alternatively be determined based on the average of
opacity readings taken during a one-hour period using Test Method 9 (40 CFR 60,
Appendix A-4, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113). However,
compliance may be based on the average of up to three one-hour average periods
if compliance is not demonstrated during the preceding hours. For this
subsection (e), "startup" means the time from when green coke feed is
introduced into the kiln until the temperature at the pyroscrubber inlet
servicing the kiln achieves a minimum operating temperature of 1800 °F (based
on a three-hour rolling average).
f) Section
212.123 will not apply to emission units subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
217.381(a).

of this Subpart. Such adjusted opacity limitations:
1) Shall be specified as a condition in operating permits issued
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201 and Section 39.5 of the Act;
2) Shall substitute for that limitation otherwise applicable;
3) Shall not allow an opacity greater than 60 percent at any
time; and
4) Shall allow opacity for one six-minute averaging period in any
60 minute period to exceed the adjusted opacity standard.
b) For the purpose of establishing an adjusted opacity standard,
any owner or operator of an emission unit which meets the requirements of
subsection (a) of this Section, may request the Agency to determine the average
opacity of the emissions from the emission unit during any performance tests
conducted pursuant to Section 212.110 of this Part and Methods 5 and 9 of 40
CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this
Part. The Agency shall refuse to accept the results of emissions tests if not
conducted pursuant to this Section.
c) Any request for the determination of the average opacity of
emissions shall be made in writing, shall include the time and place of the
performance test and test specifications and procedures, and shall be submitted
to the Agency at least thirty (30) days before the proposed test date.
d) The Agency will advise the owner or operator of an emission
unit which has requested an opacity determination of any deficiencies in the
proposed test specifications and procedures as expeditiously as practicable but
no later than ten (10) days prior to the proposed test date so as to minimize
any disruption of the proposed testing schedule.
e) The owner or operator shall allow Agency personnel to be
present during the performance test.
f) The method for determining an adjusted opacity standard is as
follows:
1) A minimum of 60 consecutive minutes of opacity readings
obtained in accordance with Test Method 9, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, shall be taken
during each sampling run. Therefore, for each performance test (which normally
consists of three sampling runs), a total of three sets of opacity readings
totaling three hours or more shall be obtained. Concurrently, the particulate
emissions data from three sampling runs obtained in accordance with Test Method
5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of
this Part, shall also be obtained.
2) After the results of the performance tests are received from
the emission unit, the status of compliance with the applicable particulate
emissions limitation shall be determined by the Agency. In accordance with
Test Method 5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section
212.113 of this Part, the average of the results of the three sampling runs
must be less than the allowable particulate emission rate in order for the
emission unit to be considered in compliance. If compliance is demonstrated,
then only those test runs with results which are less than the allowable
particulate emission rate shall be considered as acceptable test runs for the
purpose of establishing an adjusted opacity standard.
3) The opacity readings for each acceptable sampling run shall be
divided into sets of 24 consecutive readings. The six (6)minute average
opacity for each set shall be determined by dividing the sum of the 24 readings
within each set by 24.
4) The second highest six (6) minute average opacity obtained in
subsection (f)(3) of this Section shall be selected as the adjusted opacity
standard.
g) The owner or operator shall submit a written report of the
results of the performance test to the Agency at least thirty (30) days prior
to filing a petition for an adjusted standard with the Board.
h) If, upon review of such owner's or operator's written report
of the results of the performance tests, the Agency determines that the
emission unit is in compliance with all applicable emission limitations for
which the performance tests were conducted, but fails to comply with the
requirements of Section 212.122 or 212.123 of this Subpart, the Agency shall
notify the owner or operator as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than
twenty (20) days after receiving the written report of any deficiencies in the
results of the performance tests.
i) The owner or operator may petition the Board for an adjusted
visible emission standard pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E. In
addition to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E, the petition
shall include the following information:
1) A description of the business or activity of the petitioner,
including its location and relevant pollution control equipment;
2) The quantity and type of materials discharged from the
emission unit or control equipment for which the adjusted standard is
requested;
3) A copy of any correspondence between the petitioner and the
Agency regarding the performance tests which form the basis of the adjusted standard
request;
4) A copy of the written report submitted to the Agency pursuant
to subsection (g) of this Section;
5) A statement that the performance tests were conducted in
accordance with this Section and the conditions and procedures accepted by the
Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of this Part;
6) A statement regarding the specific limitation requested; and
7) A statement as to whether the Agency has sent notice of
deficiencies in the results of the performance test pursuant to subsection (h)
of this Section and a copy of said notice.
j) In order to qualify for an adjusted standard the owner or
operator must justify as follows:
1) That the performance tests were conducted in accordance with
Test Methods 5 and 9, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in
Section 212.113 of this Part, and the conditions and procedures accepted by the
Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of this Part;
2) That the emission unit and associated air pollution control
equipment were operated and maintained in a manner so as to minimize the
opacity of the emissions during the performance tests; and
3) That the proposed adjusted opacity standard was determined in
accordance with subsection (f) of this Section.
k) Nothing in this Section shall prevent any person from
initiating or participating in a rulemaking, variance, or permit appeal
proceeding before the Board.

where:
P = Process
weight rate in Mg/hr or T/hr, and
E = Allowable
emission rate in kg/hr or lbs/hr.
d) Alternative
Standard
1) The
owner or operator of the petroleum coke calcining facility located in Robinson,
Illinois, may emit particulate matter into the atmosphere from Kiln 1 or Kiln 2
exceeding the allowable emission rates specified in subsection (c) while the
temperature of the inlet to the pyroscrubber servicing Kiln 1 or Kiln 2 does
not achieve a minimum operating temperature of 1800 °F during startup,
malfunction, or breakdown (based on a three-hour rolling average). During this
period of time, the owner or operator must comply with subsection (d)(3). For
purposes of this subsection, "startup" is defined as the duration
from when green coke feed is first introduced into the kiln until the
temperature at the pyroscrubber inlet servicing the kiln achieves a minimum
operating temperature of 1800 °F (based on a three-hour rolling average).
2) Use
of the alternative standard in subsection (d)(1) must not exceed a total of 300
hours per kiln in a calendar year.
3) During
any time that Kiln 1 or Kiln 2 is operated while the pyroscrubber servicing the
emission unit is not achieving the minimum operating temperature of 1800 °F,
the owner or operator must:
A) minimize
emissions to the extent practicable;
B) not
introduce green coke into the kiln unless or until a minimum operating
temperature of 400 °F measured at the inlet to the pyroscrubber is achieved;
and
C) operate
the natural gas-fired burners to minimize the time that a kiln operates below
1800 °F, consistent with technological limitations, manufacturer specifications,
and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
4) The
owner or operator must keep and maintain all records necessary to demonstrate
compliance with this subsection (d), including records of each hour that the
pyroscrubber operated below 1800 °F. The owner or operator must provide these
records to the Agency upon request.

SECTION 212.443 COKE PLANTS
Section 212.443 Coke Plants
a) Subpart B of this Part shall not apply to coke plants.
b) Charging.
1) Uncaptured Emissions:
A) No person shall cause or allow the emission of visible
particulate matter from any coke oven charging operation, from the introduction
of coal into the first charge port, as indicated by the first mechanical
movement of the coal feeding mechanism on the larry car, to the replacement of
the final charge port lid for more than a total of 125 seconds over 5
consecutive charges; provided however that 1 charge out of any 20 consecutive
charges may be deemed an uncountable charge at the option of the operator.
B) Compliance with the limitation set forth in subsection
(b)(1)(A) of this Section shall be determined in the following manner:
i) Observation of charging emissions shall be made from any
point or points on the topside of a coke oven battery from which a qualified
observer can obtain an unobstructed view of the charging operation.
ii) The qualified observer shall time the visible emissions with
a stopwatch while observing the charging operation. Only emissions from the
charge port and any part of the larry car shall be timed. The observation
shall commence as soon as coal is introduced into the first charge port as
indicated by the first mechanical movement of the coal feeding mechanism on the
larry car and shall terminate when the last charge port lid has been replaced.
Simultaneous emissions from more than one emission point shall be timed and
recorded as one emission and shall not be added individually to the total time.
iii) The qualified observer shall determine and record the total
number of seconds that charging emissions are visible during the charging of
coal to the coke oven.
iv) For each charge observed, the qualified observer shall record
the total number of seconds of visible emissions, the clock time for the
initiation and completion of the charging operation and the battery
identification and oven number.
v) The qualified observer shall not record any emissions observed
after all charging port lids have been firmly seated following removal of the
larry car, such as emissions occurring when a lid has been temporarily removed
to permit spilled coal to be swept into the oven.
vi) In the event that observations from a charge are interrupted,
the data from the charge shall be invalidated and the qualified observer shall
note on his observation sheet the reason for invalidating the data. The
qualified observer shall then resume observation of the next consecutive charge
or charges and continue until a set of five charges has been recorded. Charges
immediately preceding and following interrupted observations shall be
considered consecutive.
2) Emissions from Control Equipment
A) Emissions of particulate matter from control equipment used to
capture emissions during charging shall not exceed 0.046 g/dscm (0.020
gr/dscf). Compliance shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set

A) Emissions of uncaptured particulate matter from pushing
operations shall not exceed an average of 20 percent opacity for 4 consecutive
pushes considering the highest average of six consecutive readings in each
push. Opacity readings shall be taken at 15-second intervals, beginning from
the time the coke falls into the receiving car or is first visible as it
emerges from the coke guide whichever occurs earlier, until the receiving car
enters the quench tower or quenching device. For a push of less than 90
seconds duration, the actual number of 15-second readings shall be averaged.
B) Opacity readings shall be taken by a qualified observer located
in a position where the oven being pushed, the coke receiving car and the path
to the quench tower are visible. The opacity shall be read as the emissions
rise and clear the top of the coke battery gas mains. The qualified observer
shall record opacity readings of emissions originating at the receiving car and
associated equipment and the coke oven, including the standpipe on the coke
side of the oven being pushed. Opacity readings shall be taken in accordance
with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, Method 9,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, except that Section
2.5 for data reduction shall not be used. The qualified observer referenced in
this subsection shall be certified pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
Method 9, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113. The provisions of
Section 111 of the Clean Air Act...relating to standards of performance for new
stationary sources...are applicable in this State and are enforceable under the

velocity in excess of 50 percent of the induced draft face velocity at the pit;
provided, however, that such means or devices do not have to achieve the same
degree of prevention when the ambient air wind exceeds 25 mph. The wind
velocity shall be measured, with the induced draft system not operating, at a
point midway between the dump-pit area walls at the point where the wind exits
the dump-pit area, and at a height above the dump-pit area floor of
approximately 2 ft; or
2) Any equivalent method, technique, system or combination
thereof adequate to achieve, at a minimum, a particulate matter emission
reduction equal to the reduction which could be achieved by compliance with
subsection (b)(1) of this Section.
(Board Note: Pursuant to Section 9 of the Act, certain
country grain elevators are exempt from subsection (b) of this Section.)
c) Internal Transferring Area.
1) Internal transferring area shall be enclosed to the extent
necessary to prohibit visible particulate matter emissions directly into the
atmosphere.
2) Air contaminants collected from internal transfer operations
for grain-handling sources having a grain through-put of not more than 2
million bushels per year or located outside a major population area shall be
conveyed through air pollution control equipment which has a rated and actual

equivalent method as long as the discharge is no more than 12 inches above the
sides of the receiving vehicle.
2) Box car loading shall employ means or devices to prevent the
emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere to the fullest extent which
is technologically and economically feasible.
3) Watercraft Loading.
A) Particulate matter emissions generated during loading for
grain-handling sources having a grain through-put of not more than 2 million
bushels per year or located outside a major population area shall be captured
in an induced draft air stream, which shall be ducted through air pollution
control equipment that has a rated and actual particulate matter removal
efficiency of not less than 90 percent by weight prior to release into the
atmosphere.
B) Particulate matter emissions generated during loading for
grain-handling sources having a grain through-put exceeding 2 million bushels
per year and located in a major population area shall be captured in an induced
draft air stream, which shall be ducted through air pollution control equipment
that has a rated and actual particulate removal efficiency of not less than 98
percent by weight prior to release into the atmosphere; except for the portion
of grain loaded by trimming machines for which particulate matter emission

30, 1975, shall file applications for construction and operating permits pursuant
to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201, and shall comply with the control equipment
requirements of this Section, except for grain-handling operations for which
construction or modification commenced on or after June 30, 1975, which will
handle an annual grain through-put of less than 300,000 bushels; provided,
however, that for the purpose of this Subpart, an increase in the annual grain
through-put, without physical alterations or additions to the grain-handling
operation, shall not be considered a modification unless such increase exceeds
30 percent of the annual grain through-put on which the operation's original
construction and/or operating permit was granted. If the grain-handling
operation has been operating lawfully without a permit, its annual grain through-put
shall be determined as set forth in the definition of the term "annual
grain through-put."

SECTION 212.701 CONTINGENCY MEASURE PLANS, SUBMITTAL AND COMPLIANCE DATE
Section 212.701 Contingency
Measure Plans, Submittal and Compliance Date
a) Those sources subject to this Subpart shall prepare
contingency measure plans reflecting the PM-10 emission reductions set forth in
Section 212.703 of this Subpart. These plans shall become federally
enforceable permit conditions. Such plans shall be submitted to the Agency by
November 15, 1994. Notwithstanding the foregoing, sources that become subject
to the provisions of this Subpart after July 1, 1994, shall submit a
contingency measure plan to the Agency for review and approval within ninety
(90) days after the date such source or sources became subject to the
provisions of this Subpart or by November 15, 1994, whichever is later. The
Agency shall notify those sources requiring contingency measure plans, based on
the Agency's current information; however, the Agency's failure to notify any
source of its requirement to submit contingency measure plans shall not be a
defense to a violation of this Subpart and shall not relieve the source of its
obligation to timely submit a contingency measure plan.
b) If the Agency disapproves the initial submittal of a
contingency measure plan or a source fails to revise a plan so that it is
approvable, the Agency shall so notify the source in writing and the source may
treat such notice as a permit denial.
c) Sources having operational changes subject to Sections
212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or 212.464
which require either a new permit or a revision to an existing permit shall,
within 30 days after such changes, submit a request to modify its permit in
order to include a new, appropriate contingency measure plan. Such new plan
shall be subject to the requirements of this Subpart.
d) A source may, consistent with the requirements of this Subpart
and any applicable permitting requirements, propose revisions to its
contingency measure plan.

SECTION 212.702 DETERMINATION OF CONTRIBUTING SOURCES
Section 212.702
Determination of Contributing Sources
a) If the review of monitoring data reveals an exceedence of the
24-hour ambient air quality standard for PM-10 found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
243.120, the Agency shall attempt to determine the source or sources causing or
contributing to the exceedence.
b) In determining whether a source has caused or contributed to
an exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard for PM-10, the Agency
may take whatever steps are necessary to determine which source or sources are
culpable for the exceedence, including, but not limited to:
1) Evaluating whether the exceedence can be classified as an
"exceptional event" pursuant to the "Guideline on the
Identification and Use of Air Quality Data Affected by Exceptional
Events," incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part;
2) Reviewing operating records of the source or sources
identified pursuant to subsections (b)(3) and (b)(4) below to determine whether
any source or sources so identified experienced a malfunction or breakdown or
violated any term or condition of its operating permit which contributed to the
exceedence;
3) Evaluating the monitoring equipment filter evidencing the
exceedence to determine the types of sources that contributed to the
exceedence; and
4) Evaluating meteorological data and conducting dispersion
analyses pursuant to the "Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised),"
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, to determine which
source or sources caused or contributed to the exceedence.
c) If the Agency determines that the exceedence can be classified
as an exceptional event, the Agency shall make a written request to USEPA to
void the exceedence. If the exceedence has been caused by an "exceptional
event," the Agency shall make no requests upon any source for Level I or
Level II controls pursuant to Section 212.704(a) or (b) of this Subpart until
such time as USEPA has denied the Agency's request to void the exceedence or
until an additional exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard
which is not due to an exceptional event, as determined by the Agency, has been
monitored for the same area.
d) If the Agency determines that the exceedence was due to a
malfunction or breakdown or violation of any term or condition of a source's
operating permit, the Agency shall contact such source and may pursue appropriate
action under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.
e) The Agency's determination of culpability of a source is
appealable to the Board pursuant to the procedures set forth at 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 106, Subpart J.

SECTION 212.703 CONTINGENCY MEASURE PLAN ELEMENTS
Section 212.703 Contingency
Measure Plan Elements
a) All sources subject to this Subpart shall submit a contingency
measure plan. The contingency measure plan shall contain two levels of control
measures:
1) Level I measures are measures that will reduce total actual
annual source-wide fugitive emissions of PM-10 subject to control under
Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or
212.464 by at least 15%.
2) Level II measures are measures that will reduce total actual
annual source-wide fugitive emissions of PM-10 subject to control under
Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or
212.464 by at least 25%.
b) A source may comply with this Subpart through an alternative
compliance plan that provides for reductions in emissions equal to the level of
reduction of fugitive emissions as required at subsection (a) above and which
has been approved by the Agency and USEPA as federally enforceable permit
conditions. If a source elects to include controls on process emission units,
fuel combustion emission units, or other fugitive emissions of PM-10 not
subject to Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e),
212.424 or 212.464 at the source in its alternative control plan, the plan must
include a reasonable schedule for implementation of such controls, not to
exceed two (2) years. This implementation schedule is subject to Agency review
and approval.

SECTION 212.704 IMPLEMENTATION
Section 212.704
Implementation
a) Following any exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality
standard for PM-10, the Agency shall notify the source or sources the Agency
has identified as likely to be causing or contributing to an exceedence
detected by monitoring. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notification,
each source so notified may implement Level I or Level II measures, as
determined pursuant to subsection (d) below.
b) If there is a violation of the ambient air quality standard
for PM-10 as determined in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix K,
incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, the Agency shall
notify the source or sources the Agency has identified as likely to be causing
or contributing to one or more of the exceedences leading to such violation,
and such source or sources shall implement Level I or Level II measures, as
determined pursuant to subsection (e) below. The source or sources so
identified shall implement such measures corresponding to fugitive emissions
within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notification and shall implement
such measures corresponding to any nonfugitive emissions according to the
approved schedule set forth in such source's alternative control plan. Any
source identified as causing or contributing to a violation of the ambient air
quality standard for PM-10 may appeal any finding of culpability by the Agency
to the Board pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106, Subpart J.
c) Upon the finding of a failure to attain by the Administrator
of USEPA, the Agency shall notify all sources in the applicable area required
to submit contingency measure plans pursuant to Section 212.700 of this Subpart
of such finding by the Administrator; however, the Agency's failure to notify a
source of its requirement to implement its contingency measure plan because of
the Administrator's finding of a failure to attain shall not be a defense to a
violation of this Subpart and shall not relieve the source of its obligation to
timely comply with this Section. All such sources subject to this Subpart
shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notification, implement any
Level II measures corresponding to fugitive emissions subject to control under
Sections 212.304, 212.305, 212.306, 212.308, 212.316(a) through (e), 212.424 or
212.464 and shall implement any Level II measures corresponding to any
nonfugitive emissions of PM-10 according to the approved schedule set forth in
such source's alternative control plan, unless such corresponding Level II
controls have been previously implemented by such source or sources pursuant to
subsection (a) or (b) above.
d) The Agency shall request that sources comply with the Level I
or Level II measures of their contingency measure plans, pursuant to subsection
(a) above, as follows:
1) Level I measures shall be requested when the magnitude of the
monitored exceedence at a given air quality monitor is less than or equal to
170 µg/m3.
2) Level II measures shall be requested when the magnitude of the
monitored exceedence at a given air quality monitor exceeds 170 µg/m3.
e) The Agency shall require that sources comply with the Level I
or Level II measures of their contingency measure plans, pursuant to subsection
(b) above, as follows:
1) Level I measures shall be required when the design value of a
violation of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard, as computed pursuant to
40 CFR 50, Appendix K, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this
Part, is less than or equal to 170 µg/m3.
2) Level II measures shall be required when the design value of a
violation of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard, as computed pursuant to
40 CFR 50, Appendix K, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this
Part, exceeds 170 µg/m3.
