RULE 1153. COMMERCIAL BAKERY OVENS
(Adopted January 4, 1991)(Amended January 13, 1995)
(a) Applicability
This rule controls volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from commercial bakery ovens with a rated heat input capacity of 2 million BTU per hour or more and with an average daily emission of 50 pounds or more of VOC.
(b) Definitions
For the purpose of this rule the following definitions shall apply:
(A) Group I (General)
chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22)
dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123)
tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a)
dichlorofluoroethane (HCFC-141b)
chlorodifluoroethane (HCFC-142b)
trifluoromethane (HFC-23)
2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124)
pentafluoroethane (HFC-125)
1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-143)
1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a)
1,1-difluoroethane (HFC-152a)
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated alkanes
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated ethers with no unsaturations
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated tertiary amines with no unsaturations
sulfur-containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations and with
sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine
(B) Group II
methylene chloride
1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform)
trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113)
dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12)
trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11)
dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114)
chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115)
The use of Group II compounds and/or carbon tetrachloride may be restricted in the future because they are toxic, potentially toxic, upper-atmosphere ozone depleters, or cause other environmental impacts. By January 1, 1996, production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), and carbon tetrachloride will be phased out in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulation Title 40, Part 82 (December 10, 1993).
(c) Requirements
(A) 70 percent by weight ( as carbon) for an oven with a base year average daily VOC emissions of 50 pounds or more, but less than 100 pounds.
(B) 95 percent by weight (as carbon) for an oven with a base year average daily VOC emissions of 100 pounds or more.
(d) Compliance Schedule
No person shall operate a bakery oven subject to this rule unless the following increments of progress are met:
(A) By January 1, 1992, submit required applications for permits to construct and operate.
(B) By July 1, 1993, demonstrate compliance with subparagraph (c)(1)(A).
(A) By January 1, 1993, submit required applications for permits to construct and operate.
(B) By July 1, 1994, demonstrate compliance with subparagraph (c)(1)(B).
(e) Alternate Compliance Schedule
The paragraph (d)(1) and (d)(2) compliance deadlines may be postponed by one year if the owner of a bakery oven elects to replace the existing oven with a new one. Such election must be made by January 1, 1992 via a compliance plan submitted to, and subject to approval of, the Executive Officer or his designee. In approving such an election, the Executive Officer may impose interim conditions or control measures on the existing oven in order to assure compliance pending the installation or construction of the new, replacement oven.
(f) Exemptions
The provisions of subdivisions (c) and (d) do not apply to any existing bakery oven that emits less than 50 pounds of VOC per operating day on an uncontrolled basis. Daily VOC emissions shall be determined according to the calculation procedures of Attachment A, or according to any test methods specified in subdivision (h).
(g) Recordkeeping Requirements
Any person operating a bakery oven subject to this rule and claiming an exemption under subdivision (f) shall maintain a daily record of operations, including, but not limited to, the amount of raw material processed, yeast percentage, fermentation time, and the type of product baked. Such records shall be retained in the owner's or operator's files for a period of not less than two years.
(h) Determination of Efficiency of Emission Control System
When more than one test method or set of test methods are specified for any testing, a violation of any requirement of this rule established by any one of the specified test methods or set of test methods shall constitute a violation of the rule.
