Section 45-40-10 - Ozone season NO[X] reduction requirements for emissions of NO[X] from cement manufacturing kilns

10.1. Standard requirements. -- Effective May 1, 2009, an owner or operator of any Portland cement kiln subject to this section must not operate the kiln during May 1 through September 30 unless the kiln has installed and operates during May 1 to September 30 with low-NO_X burners, mid-kiln firing or alternative control techniques, subject to approval by the Administrator, that achieve at least the same emissions decreases as low-NO_X burners or mid-kiln firing.

10.2. NO_X compliance plan. -- Any owner or operator of a source subject to the standard requirements of subsection 10.1 may elect to use NO_X reductions from any non-affected kiln at a source with a Portland cement kiln under subsection 4.3. If the owner or operator so elects, he or she must submit for approval to the Administrator by May 1, 2009, a NO_X compliance plan which demonstrates the method(s) by which the operator will achieve NO_X reductions from non-affected kilns which achieve at least the same emissions decreases set forth in the standard requirements of subsection 10.1.

10.3. Reporting requirements. -- Any owner or operator subject to the standard requirements of subsection 10.1 must comply with the following reporting requirements:

10.3.a. By May 1, 2009, submit to the Secretary and Administrator the identification number and type of each kiln subject to this section, the name and address of the plant where the kiln is located and the name and telephone number of the person responsible for demonstrating compliance with this section; and

10.3.b. Submit a report documenting for that kiln the total NO_X emissions from May 1 through September 30 of each year to the Secretary and Administrator by October 31 of each year, beginning in 2009.

10.4. Monitoring requirements.

10.4.a. Any owner or operator of a kiln subject to this section must complete an initial performance test and subsequent annual testing consistent with the requirements of 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, Method 7, 7A, 7C, 7D or 7E; and 45CSR16; and

10.4.b. The operator may use the results of continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) to replace the annual testing requirements set forth in subdivision 10.4.a. Such equipment must be installed and operated consistent with 40 CFR part 75.

10.5. Recordkeeping requirements. -- Any owner or operator of a kiln subject to this section must produce and maintain records which include, but are not limited to:

10.5.a. The emissions, in pounds of NO_X per ton of clinker produced from each affected Portland cement kiln;

10.5.b. The type of control used for each affected Portland cement kiln;

10.5.c. The date, time and duration of any startup, shutdown or malfunction in the operation of any of the cement kilns or the emissions monitoring equipment;

10.5.d. The results of any performance testing;

10.5.e. Daily cement kiln production records; and

10.5.f. All records required to be produced or maintained will be retained on site for a minimum of 5 years and be made available to the Secretary or Administrator upon request.
