Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-296.603 - Secondary Lead Smelting Operations
(1)
Emission Limiting Standards. No owner or operator of a secondary lead smelting
operation subject to Rule
62-296.600, F.A.C., shall cause,
allow, or permit the discharge into the atmosphere of lead in excess of the
following emission standards, in grains of lead per dry standard cubic foot,
nor shall visible emissions exceed the following standards, in percent opacity:
(a) Blast and slag furnaces: 0.010 grains and
3% opacity at the exit point of the emissions control device.
(b) Blast furnace charging: 0.002 grains and
3% opacity at the exit point of the emissions control device.
1. Visible emissions from the closed charge
doors on the blast furnace shall not exceed 3% opacity during furnace
operation.
2. Visible emissions
from the charge doors on the blast furnace shall not exceed 6% opacity during
charging operation.
(c)
Blast and slag furnaces, slag and product tapping: 0.002 grains and 3% opacity
at the exit point of the emissions control device.
(d) Melt kettles and pot furnaces: 0.0002
grains and 3% opacity.
(e) Battery
cracking operations: 3% opacity.
(f) Slag handling and processing operations:
0.0000333 grains and 3% opacity.
(2) Collection Systems. Collection systems
representing RACT shall be installed and operated to capture, contain, and
control lead emissions resulting from the storage, transport, and processing of
all lead-bearing materials and products at secondary lead smelting operations.
No lead emissions shall be vented to the outside of any enclosed or partially
enclosed process unless RACT is employed to control such emissions.
(3) Attainment Demonstration. As part of the
initial application for the permit required pursuant to subsection
62-296.600(3),
F.A.C., the owner or operator of a facility subject to the requirements of this
rule shall demonstrate to the Department that, after the application of RACT,
the facility shall not cause or contribute to a violation of the national
ambient air quality standard for lead. The demonstration shall be made using
air quality models as provided 40 C.F.R. Part 51, Appendix W, adopted and
incorporated by reference at Rule
62-204.800, F.A.C., and shall
address both stack and fugitive emissions.
