Title 326. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DIVISION |
Article 326IAC6. PARTICULATE RULES |
Rule 326IAC6-4. Fugitive Dust Emissions |
Section 326IAC6-4-2. Emission limitations
-
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.
