326 IAC 6-6-5 ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor LLC fugitive particulate matter emission control plan
Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17
Sec. 5. (a) In order to implement its nontraditional fugitive dust control program, Bethlehem shall purchase a high pressure water flushing truck and a tractor sweeper with broom and install a water filling station for the flusher truck and a tank for the storage and dispensing of liquid chemical dust retardant. The following control measures shall then be implemented at the Burns Harbor Plant at the specified frequency.
(1) A total of twenty-four (24) miles of paved and unpaved roads as shown in Figure 1 shall be controlled as described below:
(A) A total of 12.7 miles of paved roads shall be cleaned three (3) times per week by water washing using a flusher truck except as indicated in subsection (a)(4) of this section. In addition, at least twice per week, 7.9 miles of these roads in the primary facilities area will also be wet swept using a tractor mounted broom following the flusher truck. Road shoulders on the 12.7 miles of paved roads will be graded as required and treated with a chemical dust retardant at the same frequency specified below for unpaved roads. Accumulated material on road shoulders will be removed at least once per month.
(B) A total of 11.3 miles of unpaved roads shall be controlled. This will consist of forming a uniform road surface by road grading to remove large material, and the application of a two (2) to four (4) inch layer of fine slag where necessary. Surfaces shall be sprayed with dust suppressant solution at an application rate consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations. The dust suppressant material and application rate shall be such that a crust will be formed on the road surface that is amenable to cleaning via flushing and sweeping. Road surfaces shall be cleaned twice per week with a flusher truck followed by a tractor mounted broom. Road surfaces shall be resprayed with chemical dust suppressant as necessary to maintain a cleanable surface. The solution strength and application rate will be determined prior to application based upon the condition of the surfaces.
(2) Bethlehem shall control its low volatile coal storage piles by spraying them at least once per week with a chemical dust retardant.
(3) Records of all fugitive dust control activities shall be maintained. At a minimum, records shall contain the following information:
(A) number of miles and location of the paved roads cleaned;
(B) number of miles of unpaved roads which were treated including the type, quantity, and dilution ratio of dust retardant used;
(C) the type, quantity, and dilution ratio of dust retardant sprayed on low volatile coal storage piles.
This information shall be summarized into progress reports and submitted to the board quarterly.
(4) This nontraditional fugitive dust control program can be adjusted on a daily basis as needed to take into account preceding day and forecasted meteorological conditions (for example, rainfall and temperature), and visual observations of the roadways scheduled to be cleaned.
(b) Bethlehem Steel Corporation nontraditional fugitive dust control roads is shown as follows (Figure 1):
(a) ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor LLC shall submit a fugitive particulate matter emission control plan for the Burns Harbor Plant (Plant ID 127-00001) located at U.S. Highway 12 meeting the requirements of this section to the department within three (3) months after the effective date of this rule, notwithstanding section 3 of this rule. The plan shall be in accordance with and subject to the following requirements:
