Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section V-3011 - Standards to Control Particulate MatterA. A boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste may not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot) after correction to a stack gas concentration of 7 percent oxygen, using procedures prescribed in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Methods 1-5, and 40 CFR 266, Appendix IX, as adopted and amended at LAC 33:V.3099.Appendix I.B. An owner or operator meeting the requirements of LAC 33:V.3019.B for the low risk waste exemption is exempt from the particulate matter standard.C. Oxygen Correction 1. Measured pollutant levels must be corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula. Pc = Pm x 14/(E - Y)
where:
Pc = corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas
Pm = measured concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas
E = oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the combustion air fed to the device
Y = measured oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the stack
2. For devices that feed normal combustion air, E will equal 21 percent. For devices that feed oxygen-enriched air for combustion (i.e., air with an oxygen concentration exceeding 21 percent), the value of E will be the concentration of oxygen in the enriched air.3. Compliance with all emission standards provided by this Chapter must be based on correcting to 7 percent oxygen using this procedure.D. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under LAC 33:V.3005) will be regarded as compliance with this Section. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Section may be "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under LAC 33:V.323.La.
