1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to ensure that uniformity
is maintained in the evaluation of the compliance status
of selected Ohio and Illinois stationary sources. The pro-
cedure for determining the compliance status for these
facilities is described in detail in the following sections.
These sections are to be followed sequentially for each
group of facility files which is processed.
-------
2.0 PROCEDURE
2.1 MASTER SOURCE LIST
Initially, each facility to be studied is assigned a
sequential number (1,2,3...) and then entered on a master
listing (see Form No. 1, Appendix A). Note that the columns
to the right of the name designate progressive milestones in
the compliance assessment process. The pertinent dates of
these milestones are to be entered as they occur, to allow
for a current, individual and overall accounting of the
sources.
2.2 CHECK FOR ADEQUACY OF INFORMATION
The available information for each source, from EPA
form 158-R75 and other pertinent references, is next
assessed for adequacy in determining the compliance status
(all source information must be checked prior to actual
compliance status determination) for each emission point
of the facility. This preliminary information check reduces
the time necessary for the acquisition of additional
information. The missing information is then delineated
(see Form No. 2, Appendix A) for subsequent data acquisition
if such is required from a facility.
Although not all of the data required by EPA form
158-R75 is necessary for compliance status determination,
-------
all missing information should be requested in order to
establish a complete information bank on each source. The
completed Form No. 2 for each facility examined is submitted
to EPA and can be included with a letter requesting the
required information from the source. Once completed, Form
No. 2 is then placed in the specific facility file.
As the requests for additional information are made, each
facility file is categorized as either: (1) adequate for
partial or. complete compliance'status determination (some
or all emission points can be accurately assessed without
additional information); or (2) inadequate for even partial
compliance determination. It follows that category 2 sources
become category 1 sources upon receipt of the necessary infor-
mation.
2.3 COMPLIANCE STATUS DETERMINATION
The determination of the compliance status of an
individual facility encompasses a series of related actions.
All pertinent source-related information plus available or
calculated data must be summarized and tabulated (see Form
No. 3, Appendix A). Additionally, all work documents
relative to a specific facility must be retained in the
facility file folder.
2.3.1 Flow Diagram
The first step in completing the compliance status
evaluation is the preparation of a block flow diagram which
o
illustrates all the processes and emission.points at the
-------
facility. Low contrast graph paper is best suited for this
flow diagram, since it allows for quick free-hand drawing.
Control devices are shown as follows:
Settling
Chamber
Cyclone
Fabric
Filter
Electrostatic
Scrubber Precipitator
Other
All sources are identified using the source code of EPA
form 158-R75. All emission points are identified by a number
assigned by the person conducting the compliance check so
that each source-emission point I.p. is a unique number. An
example flow diagram is shown in Figure 1.
2.3.2 Determination of Actual Emission Rate
The "Estimate of Pollutant Emissions" portion of Section
$
VI of EPA Form 158-R75 (see Appendix A) is intended to reflect
the specific emission data for each source by pollutant type
and rate (Ibs/hr and tons/yr). The basis for estimation of
the pollutant and emission rates in this section are to be
indicated (footnote e) by the facility; however, in some cases
the basis for estimation won't be indicated. Regardless, the
pollutants and emission rates given should be checked for
credibility (even if the results are from stack tests) by con-
1 2
suiting such references as EPA Pub. AP-42 or EPA Pub. AP-40 .
These references contain pollutant emission factors and typical
control efficiencies for a wide variety of sources and control
-------
* Note - use of low contrast graph paper,
Figure 1. EXAMPLE PROCESS FLOW SHEET
-------
devices. The calculated emission rate with its pertinent emis-
sion factor references (e.g., AP-42) and calculations should be
entered in the space indicated on Form No. 3. If the calculated
emission rate differs significantly from the rate given on the
form, this emission source should be earmarked by appropriate
comments on Form No. 3 to insure that this difference is
investigated during subsequent plant contact and/or visit.
If the emission rate is not given by the plant, estimate
the emissions by using AP-42 , material balance calculations,
or use of similar process data.
Both senior EPA R/0 staff and PEDCo engineers experienced
in a variety of process operations should be utilized to advise
on situations where the above references .are not adequate for
a clear-cut decision. In all cases, working calculations
must be performed neatly so that they can be checked. All
work sheets must be saved and included in the facility file.
2.3.3 Determination of Allowable Emission Rates
Allowable emission rates are determined by applying the
pertinent air pollution control regulation of Ohio or Illinois.
The sections of these regulations required for assessing
compliance status are contained in Appendix B. Calculations
and citation of the applicable regulation should be entered
in the space as indicated on Form No. 3. Either knowledgeable
EPA R/0 or State personnel will be contacted to clarify any
^interpretation of the regulation which proves necessary. A
consistent interpretation of regulations is most important
when the regulation is not clear.
-------
Application of the opacity regulation for compliance
determination cannot of course be accomplished without on-site
observation during plant inspection. When it is suspected that
the opacity of a specific exhaust exceeds the applicable regu-
lation, that emission source should be designated for further
4
investigation by appropriate comment on Form No. 3.
2.3.4 Compliance - Noncompliance Alternatives
An emission source is presumed to be in compliance if
its allowable emission rate and exhaust opacity exceed its
actual emission rate and actual opacity, respectively. Con-
versely, when the actual emission rate and opacity exceed the
allowable, the source is out of compliance.
If a facility has all its sources in compliance (no
suspected opacity violations) it's Compliance Status Summary
Form plus the entire facility information file are submitted
to the Project Officer (EPA) or Project Manager (PEDCo) for
review. Facilities with one or more emission sources which
comply quantitatively, but are suspected of opacity vio-
lation > are to be submitted apart from totally complying
facilities so that investigation can proceed without delay.
2.3.4.1 Noncomplying Facilities - Preparation of Air
Enforcement Checklist - An Air Enforcement Checklist (see
Appendix C) is filled out for each facility with one or more
emission sources not. in compliance. A cover sheet is
prepared for each of these companies. The information con-
tained on this sheet includes sources in compliance,
sources out of compliance, and any additional comments.
Example information entered on the AEC is as follows:
-------
Part I, Section II, A - The applicable regulations are
listed here.
Parti, Section III - Total existing emissions from all
sources out,of compliance and total emissions from these sources
after compliance is achieved are entered here.
Part II, Section I - The specific source within the plant
is identified. Part II and Part III are filled out for every
source that is out of compliance within the cited facility.
Part II, Section II - The requirements violated by the
source are entered here.
Part II, Section III, A - The annual emissions are entered
here, both without controls and with existing controls. If
there are no controls, "No Controls" will be entered. The
allowed emissions will be entered, based on the required control
efficiency.
Part III, Section I, A - The type of control necessary
to bring the source into compliance is shown here. Selection
of this device is made by consulting AP-42, AP-40, etc., and
by calculating the'additional control efficiency required -
enter the figure in its column of Form 2.
Part III, Section I, B - The control plan and schedule
necessary to bring the source into compliance is given here.
Generalized compliance schedules can be determined from EPA
Publication 340/1-74-001-a . When a source is already under
a compliance plan, its schedule should be compared with an
appropriate schedule from this publication to ascertain its
-------
attainability. Milestones of the schedule should also be
checked with required Ohio or Illinois compliance deadline.
Part III, Section II - The estimated range of installed
cost should be included, if a basis for such an estimate is
available. Sources which can be utilized for determination of
capital and operating costs include:
Grain Industry

(A) "Organic material" means any chemical
compound containing carbon, excluding carbon mon-
oxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic car-
bides, metallic carbonates, and ammonium carbonate.
(B) "Liquid organic material" means any organic
material which is a liquid at standard conditions.
(C) "Photochemically reactive material" means
any liquid organic material with an aggregate of more
than 20 percent of its total volume composed of the
chemical compounds classified below or which ex-
ceeds any of the following individual percentage
composition limitations, referred to the total volume
of liquid:
( 1) A combination of hydrocarbons, alcohols,
aldehydes, esters, ethers or ketones having an
olefinic or cyclo-olefinic .type of unsaturation: 5
percent;
(2) A combination of aromatic hydrocarbons with
eight or more carbon atoms to the molecule except
ethyl benzene: 8 percent;
(3) A combination of ethylbenzene. ketones hav-
ing branched hydrocarbon structures, trichloroethylene
or toluene: 20 percent.
Whenever any organic material or any constituent
of an organic material may be classified from its
chemical structure into more than one of the above
groups of organic compounds, it shall be considered
as a member of the most reactive chemical group, that
is. that group having the least allowable percent of
the total volume of liquid.
(D) "Volatile photoGhemically reactive material"-
means any photochemically reactive material which
has a vapor pressure of 1.5 pounds per square inch
absolute or greater under actual storage conditions.
(E) "Submerged, fill pipe" means any fill pipe the
discharge opening of which is entirely submerged
when the liquid level is six (6) inches above the
bottom of the tank; or when applied to a tank which
is loaded from the side, shall mean any fill pipe the
discharge opening of which is entirely submerged
when the liquid level is eighteen (18) inches above
the bottom of the tank.
(F) "Effluent water separator" means any tank,
box, sump, or other container in \vhich any volatile
phoiochemically reactive1 material floating on or
entrained or contained in water entering such tank,
box. sump, or other container is physically separated
and removed from such water prior to outfall, drain-
age, or recovery of such water.-
(G) "Architectural coating" means any coating
used for residential or commercial buildings and
their appurtenances, or industrial buildings.
