Md. Code Regs. 26.11.10.06 - Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Iron and Steel Production Installations
A.
Applicability.
(1) This regulation applies to
a person who owns or operates an installation that has actual VOC emissions of
20 pounds or more per day located at an iron and steel production facility that
has the potential to emit total plant wide VOC emissions of 25 tons or more per
year.
(2) Roll coaters at hot dip
coating installations located at an iron and steel production facility are
subject to COMAR
26.11.19.05 a and federal New
Source Performance Standards incorporated by reference at COMAR
26.11.06.12 a.
B. Control of VOC Emissions from
Installations That Use Rolling Oils or Rust Preventive Oils. The following
installations may not use oils or rust preventive oils that have a vapor
pressure greater than 1 millimeter of mercury at 25° Celsius:
(1) Hot rolling operations;
(2) Cold rolling operations; and
(3) Coating operations including both hot dip
coating and electrolytic plating installations.
C. Control of VOC Emissions from Sintering
Plants.
(1) A person who owns or operates a
sintering plant subject to this regulation shall meet an emissions standard
calculated on a daily average basis of 0.25 pound of VOC per ton of sinter
produced.
(2) Until May 1, 2002, a
person who owns or operates a sintering plant subject to this regulation shall
demonstrate compliance with §C(1) of this regulation by conducting stack tests
during the months of June 2001 and December 2001 in accordance with a test
protocol approved by the Department.
(3) A person who owns or operates a sintering
plant subject to this regulation shall:
(a)
By August 1, 2001, install a CEM system, including flow meters, approved by the
Department to continuously measure VOC emissions and gas flow rates from each
of the sintering plant scrubber stacks in order to calculate daily average VOC
emissions;
(b) By December 31,
2001, certify and operate the CEM system in accordance with COMAR
26.11.01.11;
(c) Based on the certification results and
other data generated by the CEM system, conduct a review of plant operations to
enable compliance with the standard in §C(1) of this regulation to be
achieved;
(d) By March 1, 2002,
perform sufficient analyses to determine the non-VOC content of the discharge
from the scrubber stacks to establish a VOC correction factor to be used with
CEM data to calculate daily VOC emissions from the scrubber stacks;
(e) Beginning May 1, 2002, utilize the CEM
system and other necessary data to demonstrate continuous compliance with §C(1)
of this regulation; and
(f)
Beginning January 1, 2002, provide quarterly reports to the Department
summarizing:
(i) Daily average VOC emissions
from the sinter plant stacks, and
(ii) Daily sinter production.
(4) After the CEM
system has been in operation for at least 24 months, the CEM data, emission
standard, compliance rate and other information relative to the operation of
the sinter plant shall be reviewed to determine if revisions are
necessary.
D. Control of
VOC Emissions for Continuous Casters. A person who owns or operates a
continuous caster shall skim oil and grease from the cooling water at the
continuous caster waste water treatment facility.
E. Control of VOC Emissions from
Miscellaneous Production Installations. A person who owns or operates a basic
oxygen furnace or a blast furnace shall:
(1)
Develop and maintain a good management practices plan for each
installation;
(2) By January 1,
2002, implement the good management practices plan to reduce VOC emissions;
and
(3) Make the plan available to
the Department upon request.
