Section 326IAC6-4-2. Emission limitations  


Latest version.
  •    A source or sources generating fugitive dust shall be in violation of this rule (326 IAC 6-4) if any of the following criteria are violated:

    (1) A source or combination of sources which cause to exist fugitive dust concentrations greater than sixty-seven percent (67%) in excess of ambient upwind concentrations as determined by the following formula:

    P

    =

    Percentage increase

    R

    =

    Number of particles of fugitive dust measured at downward receptor site

    U

    =

    Number of particles of fugitive dust measured at upwind or background site

    (2) The fugitive dust is comprised of fifty percent (50%) or more respirable dust, then the percent increase of dust concentration in subdivision (1) of this section shall be modified as follows:

    PR = (1.5 + N) P

    Where

    N

    =

    Fraction of fugitive dust that is respirable dust;

     

    PR

    =

    allowable percentage increase in dust concentration above background; and

     

    P

    =

    no value greater than sixty-seven percent (67%).

    (3) The ground level ambient air concentrations exceed fifty (50) micrograms per cubic meter above background concentrations for a sixty (60) minute period.

    (4) If fugitive dust is visible crossing the boundary or property line of a source. This subdivision may be refuted by factual data expressed in subdivisions (1), (2) or (3) of this section.
