Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 7.

(a) Owners and operators of secondary lead smelters shall maintain purchasing records and manufacturer's specifications of all high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters installed on process fugitive emission and fugitive dust stacks demonstrating the filters have been certified by the manufacturer to meet the definition of HEPA filters in the July 1, 2011, edition of 40 CFR 63.542 *. The records and manufacturer's specifications shall be maintained on site for three (3) years and shall be available for an additional two (2) years.
(b) The owner or operator of any secondary lead smelter shall comply with the following opacity limitations:
(1) Stacks exhausting process, process fugitive emissions, or fugitive dust emissions shall not exceed five percent (5%) opacity from particulate matter emissions for any one (1) six (6) minute averaging period as measured by 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Reference Method 9*.
(2) Exterior dust handling systems of dry collectors of lead emitting processes (augers, hoppers, transfer points) shall not discharge to the atmosphere visible emissions in excess of five percent (5%) of an observation period consisting of three (3) twenty (20) minute periods, as determined by 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Reference Method 22*. The provisions under this subdivision for dust handling systems shall not apply during maintenance and repair of the dust handling systems. During maintenance and repair of the dust handling system, the owner or operator shall take reasonable measures to prevent or minimize fugitive dust emissions.
(3) The opacity limitations in this subsection shall only apply to particulate matter emissions.
(c) In addition to the requirements in section 1(e) of this rule, and the July 1, 2011, edition of 40 CFR 63.547(e) *, an owner or operator of any secondary lead smelter using a total enclosure shall do the following:
(1) Submit a plan describing the installation and operation of a continuous monitoring system that meets the requirements of the July 1, 2011, edition of 40 CFR 63.547(e)(2) *. The plan shall be postmarked or hand delivered to the department one hundred twenty (120) days prior to installation of the continuous monitoring system.
(2) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after written approval of the monitoring system plan by the department, install and operate a continuous monitoring system to measure and record pressure differential. The continuous monitoring system shall consist of the following:
(A) A differential pressure sensor capable of measuring pressure within a range of two-hundredths (0.02) to two-tenths (0.2) millimeter of mercury (one-hundredth (0.01) to one-tenth (0.1) inch water).
(B) A processor.
(C) An alarm.
(D) A continuous recording device.

Any changes to the location or operation of the system shall require prior written approval by the department.

(3) Initiate corrective actions within thirty (30) minutes of a monitoring system alarm.
(4) Request, if desired, to cease monitoring pressure differential under this subsection twelve (12) months from the commencement date of approved monitoring or December 31, 2000, whichever is later.
(5) Notify the department of any physical changes including, but not limited to, ventilation capacity and building size. If the department determines the net effect of any such changes may potentially affect air pressure readings of the building, then the owner or operator shall resume monitoring for an additional twelve (12) months. Monitoring may be discontinued in accordance with the procedures under subdivision (4).
(6) Maintain the following on site for a period of three (3) years and have available for an additional two (2) years:
(A) Records of the pressure differential.
(B) Logs of monitoring system alarms, including date and time.
(C) Logs of corrective actions, including date and time.
(d) The owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall demonstrate compliance with the bag leak detection system requirements under section 5 of this rule, if applicable, by submitting reports showing that the alarm on the system does not activate for more than five percent (5%) of the total operating time in a six (6) month period or two hundred nineteen (219) hours, if operated for four thousand three hundred eighty (4,380) hours in the six (6) month period, whichever is less.
(e) The owner or operator of a secondary lead smelter shall calculate the percentage of total operating time the alarm on the bag leak detection system activates as the ratio of the sum of alarm times to the total operating time multiplied by one hundred (100).
(f) The owner or operator of any secondary lead smelter shall install and maintain an ambient air quality monitoring network for lead as follows:
(1) Unless the owner or operator has received approval prior to December 31, 2000, to operate an ambient air quality monitoring network, the owner or operator shall submit a proposed ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan to the department within ninety (90) days after December 31, 2000. The plan does not need to be submitted by the owner or operator if an authorized air pollution control agency operates the monitoring network. The owner or operator may submit a plan for an existing monitoring network that predates December 31, 2000.
(2) An owner or operator that has not received approval prior to December 31, 2000, shall commence ambient monitoring within thirty (30) days after the department's approval of the proposed ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan. An owner or operator that has received approval prior to December 31, 2000, shall commence monitoring under this rule on January 31, 2001.
(3) The ambient monitoring shall be:
(A) performed using U.S. EPA-approved methods, procedures, and quality assurance programs, and in accordance with the ambient monitoring and quality assurance plan as approved by the department; or
(B) performed by an authorized air pollution control agency having jurisdiction to operate the network.
(4) The owner or operator shall submit a quarterly report to the department within forty-five (45) days after the end of the quarter in which the data was collected. The report shall include the following:
(A) Ambient air quality monitoring network data.
(B) If a violation of the quarterly NAAQS for lead occurred, identification of the cause of the violation and corrective actions taken to address the violation.
(5) After twenty-four (24) months from the commencement date of monitoring pursuant to the approved monitoring plan, an owner or operator may submit a request to discontinue ambient monitoring. The commissioner may deny the request if a determination is made that continued monitoring is in the interest of public health and the environment.
(g) Ventilation air from the following shall be conveyed or ventilated to a control device:
(1) All enclosure hoods and total enclosures.
(2) All dryer emission vents.
(3) Agglomerating furnace emission vents.
