REGULATION 11
HAZARDOUS POLLUTANTS
RULE 1
LEAD
11-1-100 GENERAL
11-1-101 Description: The purpose of this Rule is to control the emission of lead to the atmosphere.
11-1-102 Optional Standards: A person responsible for the emission of lead may elect, by written notification to
the APCO, to be regulated by the requirements of Section 11-1-303 rather than Section 11-1-302.
11-1-300 STANDARDS
11-1-301 Daily Limitation: A person shall not discharge any emission of lead, or compound of lead calculated as
lead, from any emission point in excess of 6.75 kg (15 lbs) per day.
11-1-302 Ground Level Concentration Limit Without Background: A person shall not discharge any emission of lead,
or compound of lead calculated as lead, that will result in ground level concentrations in excess of 1.0 ug/m3
averaged over 24 hours.
11-1-303 Ground Level Concentration Limit With Background: A person electing to be regulated by this Section shall
not discharge any emission of lead, or compound of lead, which results in ground level concentrations of lead in
excess of 1.0 ug/m3 above the background concentrations of lead averaged over 30 days. This Section
shall not apply to the ground level concentrations occurring on the property from which such emission occurs, provided
such property from the emission point to the point of such concentration is controlled by the person responsible
for the emissions.
11-1-500 MONITORING AND RECORDS
11-1-501 Monitoring: A person electing to be regulated by Section 11-1-303 shall provide, install and maintain
monitoring equipment.
11-1-600 MANUAL OF PROCEDURES
11-1-601 Determination of Ground Level Emission Limits: Emissions limited by Section 11-1-302 shall be determined
by use of dispersion calculations described in the Manual of Procedures, Volume VI, Section 2.(Amended March 17,
1982)
11-1-602 Determination of Background Concentrations: Background concentrations of lead shall be determined in accordance
with procedures described in the Manual of Procedures, Volume VI, Section 2. (Amended March 17,1982)
11-1-603 Atmospheric Sampling: The requirements of Section 11-1-501 for monitoring concentrations of lead, including
siting, sampling, and reporting procedures, are described in the Manual of Procedures, Volume VI, Section 2. (Amended
March 17, 1982)
11-1-604 Determination of Daily Emission Limits: Emissions limited by Section 11-1-301 shall be determined by use
of methods prescribed in the Manual of Procedures, Volume IV, ST-9. (Adopted March 17, 1982)
