Section 212-4.1 - Control of nitrogen oxides for hot mix asphalt production plants
(a) The owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt production plant must comply with the following requirements:
(1) Beginning in calendar year 2011, a tune-up must be performed on the dryer burner on an annual basis at any hot mix asphalt production plant that is in operation during that calendar year.
(2) A plan must be submitted to the department by March 1, 2011 that details the introduction or continuation of methods by which to reduce the moisture content of the aggregate stockpile(s). Such methods must be implemented that year, or the first subsequent year the plant is in operation.
