(a) Emission limits for gas-fired glass-melting furnaces. For each existing, new, or reconstructed gas-fired glass-melting furnace, on and after the compliance date specified in �63.887 whichever date is earlier, you must not discharge or cause to be discharged into the atmosphere emissions in excess of 0.00025 lb of chromium compounds per ton of glass pulled (0.25 lb per thousand tons glass pulled).
(b) Operating limits. On and after the date on which the performance test required by ��63.7 and 63.1384 is completed, you must operate all affected control equipment and processes according to the following requirements.
(1)(i) You must initiate corrective action within one hour of an alarm from a bag leak detection system and complete corrective actions in a timely manner according to the procedures in the operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan.
(ii) You must implement a Quality Improvement Plan consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring provisions of 40 CFR part 64, subpart D when the bag leak detection system alarm is sounded for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(2)(i) You must initiate corrective action within one hour when any 3-hour block average of the monitored electrostatic precipitator (ESP) parameter is outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 and complete corrective actions in a timely manner according to the procedures in the operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan.
(ii) You must implement a Quality Improvement Plan consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring provisions of 40 CFR part 64, subpart D when the monitored ESP parameter is outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(iii) You must operate the ESP such that the monitored ESP parameter is not outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 10 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(3)(i) You must initiate corrective action within one hour when any 3-hour block average value for the monitored parameter(s) for a gas-fired glass-melting furnace, which uses no add-on controls, is outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 and complete corrective actions in a timely manner according to the procedures in the operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan.
(ii) You must implement a Quality Improvement Plan consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring provisions of 40 CFR part 64, r40CFR63SubpartNNN when the monitored parameter(s) is outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(iii) You must operate a gas-fired glass-melting furnace, which uses no add-on technology, such that the monitored parameter(s) is not outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 10 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(4)(i) You must initiate corrective action within one hour when the average glass pull rate of any 4-hour block period for gas-fired glass-melting furnaces equipped with continuous glass pull rate monitors, or daily glass pull rate for glass-melting furnaces not so equipped, exceeds the average glass pull rate established during the performance test as specified in �63.884, by greater than 20 percent and complete corrective actions in a timely manner according to the procedures in the operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan.
(ii) You must implement a Quality Improvement Plan consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring provisions of 40 CFR part 64, subpart D when the glass pull rate exceeds, by more than 20 percent, the average glass pull rate established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(iii) You must operate each gas-fired glass-melting furnace such that the glass pull rate does not exceed, by more than 20 percent, the average glass pull rate established during the most recent successful performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 10 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(5)(i) You must initiate corrective action within one hour when the average pH (for a caustic scrubber) or pressure drop (for a venturi scrubber) for any 3-hour block period is outside the limits established during the performance tests as specified in �63.884 for each wet scrubbing control device and complete corrective actions in a timely manner according to the procedures in the operations, maintenance, and monitoring plan.
(ii) You must implement a Quality Improvement Plan consistent with the compliance assurance monitoring provisions of 40 CFR part 64, subpart D when any scrubber parameter is outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
(iii) You must operate each scrubber such that each monitored parameter is not outside the limit(s) established during the performance test as specified in �63.884 for more than 10 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block reporting period.
