[Continued from previous Web Page] 4. The portable stone crushing plant shall be limited to the processing of:
virgin aggregate
asbestos free recycled aggregate
asbestos free recycled asphalt products (RAP)
concrete
glass
other highway aggregate paving materialsThe portable stone crushing plant shall not be used to process any materials contaminated with waste oils, hazardous waste or asbestos.
5. The water spray dust suppression system associated with the aforementioned sources shall be operated on any and all occasions that the respective sources are operated, except in those unusual instances where conditions are such that operation of the sources without the simultaneous operation of the water spray dust suppression system can take place without creating air contaminant emissions in excess of the limitations specified in any applicable Department rule or regulation and any applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) requirement. If, however, the water spray dust suppression system associated with the aforementioned sources is incapable of operation due to weather conditions or any other reason the aforementioned sources may not be operated at all.
6. The source shall install a water spray dust suppression system at all material stockpiles, aggregate transfer points, crushing and screening systems, and other surfaces which may give rise to airborne dusts. Spray nozzles shall be located at all transfer points of the portable plant.
7. All trucks transporting crushed aggregate or materials listed in Condition 4 above shall be covered when using roads in public use.
8. If at any time it is determined that the use of any roadways and/or any material stockpiling operations associated with the sources is causing the emission of fugitive particulate matter in excess of the limitations specified in section 123.2 of Chapter 123 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection or if it is determined that all reasonable actions to prevent fugitive particulate matter resulting from the use of such roadways and/or material stockpiling operations from becoming airborne are not being taken the company shall take immediate steps, including the use of additional fugitive particulate matter control techniques, to correct the situation.
9. Prior to initial startup the portable stone crushing plant shall meet the requirements of the New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000 for nonmetallic mineral processing plants. The owner or operator shall demonstrate compliance with the opacity standard within 60 days of the plants initial startup.
10. This source is subject to Subpart 000 of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and shall comply with all applicable requirements of this Subpart. 40 CFR 60.4 requires submission of copies of all requests, reports, applications, submittals, and other communications to both EPA and the Department. The EPA copies shall be forwarded to Director, Air, Toxics and Radiation Division, U. S. EPA, Region III, 841 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
11. At least 30 days prior to the initial opacity test required under Condition 10 above, the Regional Air Quality Manager shall be informed of the date and time of the test.
12. Within 30 days after the opacity tests, two copies of the complete test report, including all operating conditions, shall be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Manager for approval.
13. Prior to relocation of the portable stone crushing plant, the owner or operator shall apply to the Department using the appended form in conformance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.641. The owner or operator shall not relocate the portable stone crushing plant until it has received prior written approval from the Department. This requirement does not relieve the owner or operator from securing any necessary local approvals.
14. This operating permit for the portable stone crushing plant is contingent upon the wet suppression system being installed, and the sources and all associated air cleaning devices being maintained and operated, as described in the application and supplemental materials submitted for plan approval and that any air contaminants emitted from the sources are in compliance with the requirements specified in Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection including Federal New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR Part 60.
