Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024
Section 340-240-0180 - Control of Fugitive Emissions (Medford-Ashland AQMA Only)(1) All sawmills, plywood mills and veneer manufacturing plants, particleboard and hardboard plants, asphalt plants, rock crushers, animal feed manufacturers, and other major industrial facilities as identified by DEQ, must prepare and implement site-specific plans for the control of fugitive emissions. (2) Fugitive emission-control plans must identify reasonable measures to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne. Special care will be taken by the facility to avoid the migration of material onto the public road system. Such reasonable measures include, but are not limited to the following: (a) The systematic paving of all unpaved roads and areas on which vehicular traffic occurs. Until an area is paved, subsection (2)(b) applies; (b) Scheduled application of water, or other suitable chemicals on unpaved roads, log storage or sorting yards, materials stockpiles, and other surfaces which can create airborne dust. Dust suppressant material must not adversely affect water quality; (c) Periodic sweeping or cleaning of paved roads and other areas as necessary to prevent migration of material onto the public road system; (d) Full or partial enclosure of materials stockpiled in cases where application of water or suitable chemicals are not sufficient to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne; (e) Installation and use of hoods, fans, and fabric filters to enclose and vent the handling of dusty materials; (f) Adequate containment during sandblasting or other similar operations; (g) Covering, at all times when in motion, open bodied trucks transporting materials likely to become airborne; and (h) Procedures for the prompt removal of earthen material, dirt, dust, or other material from paved streets. (3) Reasonable measures may include landscaping and using vegetation to reduce the migration of material onto public and private roadways. (4) The facility owner or operator must supervise and control fugitive emissions and material that may become airborne caused by the activity of outside contractors delivering or removing materials at the site. (5) The site-specific fugitive dust emissions control plan must be submitted to DEQ prior to or within 60 days of permit issuance or renewal. DEQ will approve or deny the plan within 30 days. NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
