Fugitive Particulate Matter Control for the Portland Cement Manufacturing Plant and Associated Quarry Operations Located in LaSalle County, South of the Illinois River
Section 212
Section 212.424 Fugitive
Particulate Matter Control for the Portland Cement Manufacturing Plant and
Associated Quarry Operations Located in LaSalle County, South of the Illinois
River
a) Applicability. This Section shall apply to the portland
cement manufacturing plant in operation before September 1, 1990, and
associated quarry operations located in LaSalle County, south of the Illinois
River. Associated quarry operations are those operations involving the removal
and disposal of overburden, and the extraction, crushing, sizing, and transport
of limestone and shale for usage at the portland cement manufacturing plant.
This Section shall not become effective until April 30, 1992.
b) Applicability of Subpart K of this Part. This Section shall
not alter the applicability of Subpart K: Fugitive Particulate Matter.
c) Fugitive Particulate Matter Control Measures For Roadways at
the Plant.
1) For the unpaved access roadway to the Illinois Central Silos
Loadout, the owner or operator shall spray a 30 percent solution of calcium
chloride once every 16 weeks at an application rate of at least 1.58 L/m
2
(0.35 gal/yd
2
) followed by weekly application of water at a rate of
at least 1.58 L/m(2) (0.35 gal/yd
2
). This subsection shall not apply
after the roadway is paved.
2) The owner or operator of the portland cement manufacturing
plant shall keep written records in accordance with subsection (e) of this
Section.
d) Fugitive Particulate Matter Control Measures for Associated
Quarry Operations.
1) For the primary crusher, the primary screen, the #3 conveyor
from the primary screen to the surge pile, and the surge pile feeders to the #4
conveyor, the owner or operator shall spray a chemical foam spray of at least 1
percent solution of chemical foaming agent in water continuously during
operations at a rate of at least 1.25 L/Mg (0.30 gal/T) of rock processed.
2) The owner or operator shall water all roadways traveled by
trucks to and from the primary crusher in the process of transporting raw
limestone and shale to the crusher at an application rate of at least 0.50 L/m
2
(0.10 gal/yd
2
) applied once every eight hours of operation except
under conditions specified in subsection (d)(3) of this Section. Watering
shall begin within one hour of commencement of truck traffic each day.
3) Subsection (d)(2) of this Section shall be followed at all
times except under the following circumstances:
A) Precipitation is occurring such that there are no visible
emissions or if precipitation occurred during the previous 2 hours such that
there are no visible emissions;
B) If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to 0° C (32°
F); or
C) If ice or snow build-up has occurred on roadways such that
there are no visible emissions.
4) The owner or operator of the associated quarry operations
shall keep written records in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section.
e) Recordkeeping and Reporting
1) The owner or operator of any portland cement manufacturing
plant and/or associated quarry operations subject to this Section shall keep
written daily records relating to the application of each of the fugitive
particulate matter control measures required by this Section.
2) The records required under this Section shall include at least
the following:
A) The name and address of the plant;
B) The name and address of the owner or operator of the plant and
associated quarry operations;
C) A map or diagram showing the location of all fugitive
particulate matter emission units controlled including the location,
identification, length, and width of roadways;
D) For each application of water or calcium chloride solution, the
name and location of the roadway controlled, the water capacity of each truck,
application rate of each truck, frequency of each application, width of each
application, start and stop time of each application, identification of each
water truck used, total quantity of water or calcium chloride used for each
application, including the concentration of calcium chloride used for each
application;
E) For application of chemical foam spray solution, the
application rate and frequency of application, name of foaming agent, and total
quantity of solution used each day;
F) Name and designation of the person applying control measures;
and
G) A log recording all failures to use control measures required
by this Section with a statement explaining the reasons for each failure and,
in the case of a failure to comply with the roadway watering requirements of
subsection (d)(2) of this Section, a record showing that one of the
circumstances for exceptions listed in subsection (d)(3) of this Section
existed during the period of the failure. Such record shall include, for
example, the periods of time when the measured temperature was less than or
equal to 0° C (32° F).
3) Copies of all records required by this Section shall be
submitted to the Agency within ten (10) working days after a written request by
the Agency.
4) The records required under this Section shall be kept and
maintained for at least three (3) years and shall be available for inspection
and copying by Agency representatives during working hours.
5) A quarterly report shall be submitted to the Agency stating
the following: the dates required control measures were not implemented, the

implemented, and the corrective actions taken. This report shall include those
times when subsection (d) of this Section is involved. This report shall be
submitted to the Agency thirty (30) calendar days from the end of a quarter.
Quarters end March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
