7 Del. Admin. Code § 110
11.1 Applicability.
11.1.2 The provisions of 11.0 of this regulation apply to each new or existing affected source. The affected source is each lead acid battery manufacturing plant. The affected source includes all grid casting facilities, paste mixing facilities, three-process operation facilities, lead oxide manufacturing facilities, lead reclamation facilities, and any other lead-emitting operation that is associated with the lead acid battery manufacturing plant.
11.2 Definitions.
Unless defined below, all terms in 11.0 of this regulation have the meaning given them in the Act or in 3.0 of this regulation.
“Grid casting facility”means the facility which includes all lead melting pots and machines used for casting the grid used in battery manufacturing.
“Lead acid battery manufacturing plant”means any plant that produces a storage battery using lead and lead compounds for the plates and sulfuric acid for the electrolyte.
“Lead oxide manufacturing facility”means the facility that produces lead oxide from lead, including product recovery.
“Lead reclamation facility”means the facility that remelts lead scrap and casts it into lead ingots for use in the battery manufacturing process, and which is not a furnace affected under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart L (July 1, 2007 edition).
“Other lead-emitting operation”means any lead acid battery manufacturing plant operation from which lead emissions are collected and ducted to the atmosphere and which is not part of a grid casting, lead oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, paste mixing, or three-process operation facility, or a furnace affected under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart L (July 1, 2007 edition).
“Paste mixing facility”means the facility including lead oxide storage, conveying, weighing, metering, and charging operations; paste blending, handling, and cooling operations; and plate pasting, takeoff, cooling, and drying operations.
“Three-process operation facility”means the facility including those processes involved with plate stacking, burning, or strap casting, and assembly of elements into the battery case.
11.3 Compliance Dates.
11.4 Standards.
11.4.3 Emission and opacity limitations for affected sources.
11.4.4 When two or more gas streams at the affected source (except the lead oxide manufacturing facility) are ducted to a common control device, an equivalent emission limitation, ELe, for the total exhaust gas stream shall be determined using equation 11-1:
(11-1)
where:
ELe = the equivalent emission limitation for the total exhaust gas stream, mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
n = the total number of gas streams ducted to the control device.
ELa = the actual emission limitation for each gas stream, a, ducted to the control device, mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
Qsda = the dry standard volumetric flow rate of each gas stream, a, ducted to the control device, dscm/hr (dscf/hr).
QsdT = the total dry standard volumetric flow rate of all gas streams ducted to the control device, dscm/hr (dscf/hr).
11.4.5 The owner or operator of an affected source subject to 11.0 of this regulation shall develop and implement a written startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan that describes, in detail, procedures for operating and maintaining the affected source during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction and a program of corrective actions for malfunctioning process, control devices, and monitoring equipment used to comply with 11.0. At a minimum, this plan shall include the following:
11.5 Performance testing requirements.
11.5.1 Initial compliance demonstration.
11.5.2 Ongoing performance test requirements.
11.6 Monitoring requirements.
11.6.3 For any exhaust gas stream controlled by a fabric filter, the owner or operator shall be in compliance with the requirements in 11.6.3.1 through 11.6.3.3 of this regulation. Fabric filters equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter or other secondary filter are allowed to monitor less frequently, as specified in 11.6.3.4 of this regulation.
11.7 Test methods and procedures.
11.7.2 The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the lead emission limitations in 11.4.3.1 through 11.4.3.6 of this regulation, except 11.4.3.4 of this regulation, as follows:
11.7.2.2 When different operations in a three-process operation facility are ducted to separate control devices, the lead emission rate (Etp) from the three-process operation facility shall be determined using equation 11-2:
(11-2)
where:
Etp = lead emission rate from the three-process operation facility, mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
n = total number of control devices to which different operations in the three-process operation facility are ducted.
Ca = concentration of lead emissions in the exhaust gas stream from each control device, a, mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
Qa = volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas stream from each control device, a, dscm/hr (dscf/hr).
11.7.3 The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the lead emission limitation in 11.4.3.4 of this regulation as follows:
11.7.3.1 The lead emission rate (Elo) from a lead oxide manufacturing facility shall be determined for each run using equation 11-3:
(11-3)
where:
Elo = lead emission rate from the lead oxide manufacturing facility, mg/kg (lb/ton) of lead charged.
m = total number of exhaust gas streams in the lead oxide manufacturing facility.
Ci = concentration of lead from each exhaust gas stream, i, mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
Q1 = volumetric flow rate of each exhaust gas stream, i, dscm/hr (dscf/hr).
P = average lead feed rate to the lead oxide manufacturing facility, kg/hr (ton/hr).
K = conversion factor, 1.0 mg/mg (7000 gr/lb).
11.7.3.3 The average lead feed rate (P) in equation 11-3 shall be determined for each run using equation 11-4:
P = (N * W) / T (11-4)
where:
P = average lead feed rate to the lead oxide manufacturing facility, kg/hr (ton/hr).
N = number of lead pigs (ingots) charged.
W = average mass of a pig (ingot), kg (ton).
T = duration of run, hr.
11.8 Recordkeeping requirements.
11.8.2 At a minimum, the owner or operator of an affected source subject to the provisions of 11.0 of this regulation shall maintain the following records for such source:
11.9 Notification and reporting requirements.
11.9.2 At a minimum, the owner or operator of an affected source subject to 11.0 of this regulation shall submit to the Department in writing the following notifications and reports.

The owner or operator of an affected sources subject to the provisions of 11.0 of this regulation shall also be in compliance with the provisions in 3.0 of this regulation, that are applicable to 11.0 as specified in Table 11-1 of this regulation.
11.11 Additional compliance requirements.
11.11.1 If the owner or operator of an affected source subject to 11.0 of this regulation elects to use a control technology other than scrubbers or fabric filters to comply with the requirements of 11.4 of this regulation, the owner or operator shall:
11.11.1.2 Submit to the Department, consistent with the requirements of 11.5.1, the following, whichever is applicable.
