16.0 Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Source Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Products Manufacturing Operations

1. 16.1 Applicability.

   1. 16.1.1 The provisions of 16.0 of this regulation apply to each asphalt processing operation or asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation that is an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions.
   2. 16.1.2 An area source of HAP emissions is a source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that is not a major source of HAP emissions, is not located at a major source of HAP emissions, and is not part of a major source of HAP emissions. A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any HAP or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs.

   3. 16.1.3 Operations or equipment described in 16.1.3.1 through 16.1.3.3 of this regulation are exempt from the provisions of 16.0 of this regulation.

      1. 16.1.3.1 Hot-mix asphalt operations that are used in the paving of roads or hardstand.
      2. 16.1.3.2 Built-up roofing operations where asphalt is used.
      3. 16.1.3.3 Asphalt processing or asphalt roofing products manufacturing operations conducted in research and laboratory facilities.

   4. 16.1.4 The provisions of 16.0 of this regulation apply to each new, reconstructed, or existing affected source. The affected source is specified in 16.1.4.1 and 16.1.4.2 of this regulation.

      1. 16.1.4.1 The affected source for asphalt processing operations is the collection of all blowing stills at the asphalt processing operation.
      2. 16.1.4.2 The affected source for asphalt roofing products manufacturing operations is the collection of all asphalt coating equipment at the asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation.
   5. 16.1.5 An affected source is a new affected source if the owner or operator commenced construction or reconstruction after July 9, 2009.
   6. 16.1.6 An affected source is a reconstructed affected source if it meets the definition of reconstruction in 3.2 of this regulation.
   7. 16.1.7 An affected source is an existing affected source if it is not a new or reconstructed affected source.
   8. 16.1.8 The owner or operator of an area source subject to 16.0 of this regulation is exempt from the obligation to obtain a Title V operating permit under7 DE Admin. Code1130of State of Delaware “Regulations Governing the Control of Air Pollution”, if the owner or operator is not required to obtain a Title V operating permit under 3.1 of7DE Admin. Code1130for a reason other than the owner or operator’s status as an area source under 16.0. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the owner or operator shall continue to comply with the provisions of 16.0.

2. 16.2 Definitions.

   Unless defined below, all terms in 16.0 of this regulation have the meaning given them in the Act or in 3.2 of this regulation.

   “Asphalt coating equipment” means the saturators, coating mixers, and coaters used to apply asphalt to substrate in the manufacture of roofing products (e.g., shingles, roll roofing).

   “Asphalt flux” means the organic residual material from distillation of crude oil that is generally used in asphalt roofing products manufacturing and paving and non-paving asphalt products.

   “Asphalt preparation” means the oxidation of asphalt flux, achieved by bubbling air through the heated asphalt, to raise the softening point and to reduce penetration of the oxidized asphalt.

   “Asphalt processing operation” means any operation engaged in the preparation of asphalt flux at stand-alone asphalt processing facilities, petroleum refineries, and asphalt roofing facilities. An asphalt processing operation includes one or more asphalt flux blowing stills.

   “Asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation” means the collection of equipment used to manufacture asphalt roofing products through a series of sequential process steps. The equipment configuration of an asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation varies depending upon the type of substrate used (i.e., organic or inorganic). For example, an asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation that uses an organic substrate (e.g., felt) typically would consist of a saturator (and wet looper), a coating mixer, and a coater, although the saturator could be bypassed if the operation manufactures multiple types of products. An asphalt roofing products manufacturing operation that uses an inorganic substrate (e.g., fiberglass mat) typically would consist of a coating mixer and a coater.

   “Blowing still” means the equipment in which air is blown through asphalt flux to change the softening point and penetration rate of the asphalt flux, creating oxidized asphalt.

   “Built-up roofing operation” means any operation involved in the on-site (e.g., at a commercial building) assembly of roofing system components (e.g., asphalt, substrate, surface granules).

   “Coater” means the equipment used to apply amended (filled or modified) asphalt to the top and bottom of the substrate (typically fiberglass mat) used to manufacture shingles and roll roofing products.

   “Coating mixer” means the equipment used to mix coating asphalt and a mineral stabilizer prior to applying the stabilized coating asphalt to the substrate.

   “Hot-mix asphalt operation” means any operation involved in mixing asphalt cement and aggregates to produce materials for paving roadways and hardstand (e.g., vehicle parking lots, prepared surfaces for material storage).

   “Particulate matter (PM)” means, for the purposes of 16.0 of this regulation, any material determined gravimetrically using Method 5A in Appendix A-3 of 40 CFR Part 60.

   “Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)” means, for the purposes of 16.0 of this regulation, any material determined analytically using Method 23 in Appendix A-7 of 40 CFR Part 60 with analysis by SW–846 Method 8270D.

   “Research and laboratory facility” means any stationary source whose primary purpose is to conduct research and development into new processes and products, where such source is operated under the close supervision of technically trained personnel and is not engaged in the manufacture of products for commercial sale in commerce, except in a de minimis manner.

   “Saturator” means the equipment used to impregnate a substrate (predominantly organic felt) with asphalt. Saturators are predominantly used for the manufacture of roll roofing products (e.g., saturated felt). For the purposes of 16.0 of this regulation, the term saturator includes impregnation vat and wet looper.

   “Wet looper” means the series of rollers typically following the saturator used to provide additional absorption time for asphalt to penetrate the roofing substrate.
