Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-296.600 - Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) - Lead
(1) Applicability. Any lead processing
operation that is located in the area of Hillsborough County encompassed within
a radius of 5 kilometers centered at UTM coordinates 364.0 East, 3093.5 North,
zone 17 (in city of Tampa), designated as unclassifiable for the 1978 Lead
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) in
40 C.F.R., Part 81, §
81.310, as adopted and incorporated by
reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C., or within 50
kilometers outside the boundary of such an area, shall limit the emission of
lead through the application of reasonably available control technology (RACT)
as specified in Rules
62-296.601 through
62-296.605, F.A.C.
(2) Compliance Requirements. Lead processing
operations subject to the requirements of this rule shall comply with the
permit requirements, operation and maintenance plan requirements, recordkeeping
and reporting requirements, and compliance demonstration requirements of
subsections 62-296.600(3)
through 62-296.600(6),
F.A.C., respectively, the general requirements of Rule
62-296.601, F.A.C., and the
specific emission limiting standards of Rules
62-296.602 through
62-296.605, F.A.C. For existing
facilities, compliance with these requirements shall be achieved as
expeditiously as possible, in accordance with a schedule of compliance
established in the permit required pursuant to this rule.
(3) Permit Requirements. By September 30,
1994, the owner or operator of any existing facility subject to the
requirements of this rule shall apply for a new or revised federally
enforceable, as defined in Rule
62-210.200, F.A.C., air permit,
pursuant to Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., addressing the requirements of this
rule.
(4) Operation and Maintenance
Plan. In any application for a permit, the owner or operator of any facility
subject to the requirements of this rule shall submit to the Department an
operation and maintenance plan for the lead emissions control devices,
collection systems, and processing systems. The operation and maintenance plan
shall include quarterly inspection methods for the lead emissions control
devices, including black light leak detection tests or broken bag detectors in
the baghouses, to prevent reduced lead collection efficiency. Lead oxide
handling operations with the potential to emit 200 pounds or less of lead per
year shall be exempt from this operation and maintenance plan
provision.
(5) Recordkeeping and
Reporting. The owner or operator of any facility subject to the requirements of
this rule shall keep the following records for a minimum of two years, and make
them available to any representative of the Department or an approved local air
program upon request:
(a) Records of control
equipment operating parameters.
(b)
Maintenance records on the control equipment, including black-light tests, bag
replacements, structural repairs, and motor replacements.
(c) Records of control system malfunctions or
failures and corrective actions taken.
(6) Emissions Determination. The owner or
operator of any facility subject to an emissions limiting standard pursuant to
Rules 62-296.602 through
62-296.605, F.A.C., shall
determine emissions by the initial compliance date established in the permit
required pursuant to this rule, or in accordance with the terms of any
construction permit addressing the requirements of this rule, and every five
years thereafter unless a more frequent schedule is specified in the permit.
Emissions shall be determined as follows:
(a)
Lead emissions shall be determined by EPA Method 12, as described at 40 C.F.R.
Part 60, Appendix A-5, adopted and incorporated by reference at Rule
62-204.800, F.A.C.
(b) Opacity shall be determined by EPA Method
9, as described at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Appendix A-4, adopted and incorporated by
reference at Rule 62-204.800,
F.A.C.
