General Emission Standards

Section 1. Introduction to General Emission Standards.

(a) This Chapter establishes limits on the quantity, rate, or concentration of emissions of air pollutants, including any requirements which limit the level of opacity, prescribe equipment, set fuel specifications, or prescribe operation or maintenance procedures. These general emission standards may be superseded by specific emission standards required in other chapters of the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR). Section 9 incorporates by reference all Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs), including their Appendices, cited in this Chapter and all American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards cited in this chapter.

Section 2. Emission Standards for Particulate Matter.

(a) Visible emissions of any contaminant discharged into the atmosphere from any single new source of emission whatsoever as determined by a qualified observer shall be limited to 20 percent opacity;

Provided, that:

(i) An owner or operator of an affected facility of the type described in Chapter 3, Section 2(h)(i) that has a heat input of not less than 2500 x 10⁶ Btu per hour, may request the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division Administrator (Administrator) to determine opacity of emissions from such affected facility during initial performance tests required by Chapter 3, Section 2(i) or during other performance tests thereafter.

(ii) Upon receipt from such owner or operator of the written report of the results of the performance tests required by WAQSR Chapter 6, Section 2(i) or later performance tests, the Administrator will make a finding concerning compliance with opacity and other applicable standards. If the Administrator finds that the affected facility is in compliance with all applicable standards for which performance tests are conducted but fails to meet an applicable opacity standard, he shall notify the owner or operator and advise him that he may petition the Administrator within ten days of receipt of notification to make appropriate adjustment to the opacity standard for such affected facility.

(iii) The Administrator will grant a petition upon a satisfactory demonstration by the owner or operator that the affected facility and associated air pollution control equipment was operated and maintained in a manner to minimize the opacity of emissions during the performance tests; that the performance tests were performed under the conditions prescribed by the Administrator; and that the affected facility and associated air pollution control equipment were incapable of being adjusted or operated to meet the applicable opacity standard at or near the facility's designed capacity.

(iv) The Administrator will establish an opacity standard for such affected facility meeting the above requirements at a level at which the source will be able, as indicated by the performance and opacity tests, to meet the opacity standard at all times during which the source is meeting the mass or concentration emission standard and during which the facility and air pollution equipment is being operated properly and maintained to minimize the opacity of emissions and mass emission rate.

(b) Visible emissions of any contaminant discharged into the atmosphere from any single existing source of emission whatsoever as determined by a qualified observer shall be limited to 40 percent opacity. This limitation shall not apply to existing incinerators or wood waste burners.

(c) The emissions of visible air pollutants from gasoline engines shall be eliminated except for periods not exceeding five consecutive seconds.

(d) The emissions of visible air pollutants from stationary or portable diesel engines as determined by a qualified observer shall be limited to 30 percent opacity below 7500 feet elevation except for periods not exceeding ten consecutive seconds.

(e) Unless restricted by more stringent emission limits established elsewhere in the WAQSR or permit conditions, any single source may discharge for a period or periods aggregating not more than 6 minutes in any hour contaminants;

(i) Having an equivalent opacity of not more than 40 percent as determined by a qualified observer.

(f) Fugitive Dust. Sources operating within the State of Wyoming are required to control fugitive dust emissions. The following control measures or any equivalent method approved by the Administrator shall be considered appropriate for minimizing fugitive dust:

(i) Construction/Demolition Activities.

(A) Any person engaged in clearing or leveling of land, earthmoving, excavation, or movement of trucks or construction equipment over access haul roads or cleared land shall take steps to minimize fugitive dust from those activities. Such control measures may include frequent watering and/or chemical stabilization.

(B) Any person engaged in demolition activities including razing of homes, buildings, or other structures; or removing paving material from roads and/or parking areas shall take steps to minimize fugitive dust from such activities. Such control measures may include frequent watering and/or chemical stabilization.

(C) Any person who is engaged in construction or demolition activities which tracks earth or other materials onto paved streets shall promptly remove such material by water or other means.

(D) Any person engaged in sandblasting or similar operations shall take steps to minimize fugitive dust from such activities. Such control measures may include the installation and use of hoods, fans and fabric filters to enclose and vent the handling of dusty materials.

(ii) Handling and Transporting of Materials.

(A) Any person owning, operating or maintaining a new or existing material storage, handling and/or hauling operation shall minimize fugitive dust from such an operation. Control measures may include the application of asphalt, oil, water or suitable chemicals on unpaved roads, material stockpiles and other surfaces which can give rise to airborne dusts. Control measures for material handling may also include installation and use of hoods, fans and fabric filters to enclose and vent dusty materials.

(B) When transporting materials likely to give rise to airborne dust, open bodied trucks shall be covered when in motion.

(iii) Agricultural Practices.

(A) Any person engaged in agricultural practices, such as tilling of land and application of fertilizers shall operate in a manner to minimize fugitive dust emissions.

(g) The emission of particulate matter from any new source shall be limited as indicated in Table I. The emission of particulate matter from any existing source shall be limited as indicated in Table II.

(i) Process weight per hour means the total weight of all materials introduced into any specific process that may cause any emissions of particulate matter, including solid fuels, but excluding liquids or gases and used solely as fuels, and excluding air introduced for purposes of combustion, and excluding the weight of any water, water vapor or steam that may be introduced as part of the total materials. However, water contained as part of the normal input to a beet pulp dryer process shall be included as part of the process weight per hour. The process weight rate per hour referred to in this section shall be based upon the maximum design production rate of the equipment unless otherwise restricted by enforceable limits on potential to emit.

(ii) For a cyclical or batch operation, the process weight per hour is derived by dividing the total process weight by the number of hours in one complete operation from the beginning of any given process to the completion thereof, excluding any time during which the equipment is idle.

(iii) For a continuous operation, the process weight per hour is derived by dividing the process weight for a typical period of time.

(iv) Emission tests related to this regulation shall be measured in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 3, Section 2(h)(iv).
