Section R. 336.1371 - Fugitive dust control programs other than areas listed in table 36

Rule 37l.

(1) Based on ambient air quality measurements or substantive complaints, the department may request that the person who is responsible for the operation of any facility which processes, uses, stores, transports, or conveys bulk materials, such as, but not limited to, coal, coke, metal ores, limestone, cement, sand, gravel, and material from air pollution control devices, or a facility which has activities specifically identified in R 336.l372 and which facility is in an area not listed in table 36, submit a fugitive dust control program. The department shall notify the person who is responsible for the operation of the facility of the provisions of R 336.l372 which apply to the facility and the reasons for the departments notification. Except as provided in subrule (3) of this rule, the control program shall be submitted to the department not later than 6 months after notification.

(2) A fugitive dust control program which is required by subrule (l) of this rule shall be in writing and shall provide for all of the following:

(a) Using 1 or more combinations of available technologies, operating practices, or methods listed in R 336.1372 as are reasonably necessary to control fugitive dust emissions.

(b) Consideration of the quantity, moisture content, specific gravity, and the particle size distribution of the bulk materials. The more friable, drier, lighter, and finer the bulk material is, the more effective the fugitive dust control methods incorporated into the control program shall be.

(c) The keeping and maintenance of records consistent with the various activities to be implemented under the control program.

(d) Identification of the control technologies, methods, or control equipment, if any, to be implemented or installed and the schedule, including increments of progress, for implementation or installation.

(3) Within 3 months following notification by the department that a fugitive dust control program is required, the person who is responsible for operating the facility has the opportunity to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the department, that any part of the facility is not subject to the provisions of this rule.

(4) If a control program is not submitted within 6 months after notification by the department, then the department may proceed, pursuant to the act, toward the entry of a final order which contains a control program that meets the requirements of subrule (2) of this rule.

(5) The control program is subject to review and approval by the department. The department shall approve a control program only upon the entry of a legally enforceable order or as part of an approved permit to install or operate. If, in the opinion of the department, the program does not adequately meet the requirements set forth in subrule (2) of this rule, then the department may disapprove the program, state its reasons for disapproval, and require the preparation and submittal of an amended program within a specified time period. If, within the specified time period, an amended program is either not submitted or is submitted but, in the opinion of the department, fails to meet the requirements of subrule (2) of this rule, then the department may proceed, pursuant to the act, toward the entry of a final order which contains a control program that meets these requirements.

(6) After approval by the department, the person who is responsible for the preparation of the control program shall begin implementation of the program pursuant to the schedule contained in the control program.

(7) Either the person who is responsible for a facility or the department may request a revision to a department-approved control program to meet changing conditions. The department shall review the revision following the requirements of subrule (5) of this rule.

(8) Table 6 reads as follows:
