Background The following air quality standards and emission regulations apply to any source or emission located partially or wholly within the State of Minne- sota. Regulations aze of general application throughout the state unless specifically indicated otherwise by their context. The official policy and purpose of the State of Minnesota in regard to air quality control is set forth in Minnesota Statutes 1967. 2. Charter and Objectives (a) Section 116.07, Subd. 2. The Pollution Control Agency sha11 adopt sta.ndards of air quality, including maximum allowable standazds of emission of air contaminants from motor vehicles, recognizing that due to variable factors, no single standazd of purity of air is applic- able to all areas of the atate. In adopting standards, the Pollution Control Agency shall give due recognition to the fact that the quan- tity or characteristics of air contaminants or the duration of their presence in the atmosphere, which may cause air pollution in one area of the state, may cause less or not cause any air pollution in � another area of the state, and it shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, mcluding others which it may deem proper, as existing physical conditions,zoning classifications,topography, pre- vailing wind direction and velocities, and the fact that a standard of air quality which may be proper as to an essentially residential area of the state, may not be proper as to a highly developed industrial area of the state. S�ch standards'of air quality sha11 be premised u�on scientific knowledge of causes as well as effects based on tech- mcally substantiated criteria and commonly accepted practices. (b) Subd. 4. Pursuant and subject to the provisions of chapter 15, and the provisions hereof, the Pollution Control Agency may adopt, amend, and rescind regulations and standards having the force of law relating to any purpose within the provisions of this act for the prevention, abatement, or control of air pollution. Any such reguta- tion or standard may be of general application throughout the state or may be limited as to times, places, circumstances, or conditions in order to make due allowance for variations therein. Without limita- tion, regulations or standards may relate to sources of emissions of air contatnination or air pollution, to the quality or composition of such emissions, or to the quality of or composidon of the ambient sir or ouWoor atmosphere or to any other matter relevant to the pre- vention, abatement, or control of air pollurion. (c) Subd. 5. The Pollution Control Agency may grant variances from the requirements of regulations or standards upon such procedure and conditions as it may by regulation prescribe in order to avoid undue hardship and promote the effective and reasonable application and enforcement of the laws, regulations, and standards for preven- • tion,abatemeat, and control of air pollution. � � • (d) Subd. 6. In exercising all its powers the Pollution Control Agency shall give due consideration to the establishment, maintenance, opera- tion and expansion of business, commerce, trade, industry, trag'ic, and other economic factors and other material matters affecting the feasibility and practicability of any proposed action, including, but not limited to, the burden on a mumcipality of any tax which may result therefrom, and shall take or provide for such action as may be reasonable, feasible, and practical under the circumstances. 3. Policy Consistent with these objectives, it shall be the policy of the Pollution Control Agency that new equipment capable of becoming a source of air pollution be provided with the maximum control capability which is technically practicable and economically reasonable. The Polluhon Con- trol Agency shall encourage the development and expansion of air pal- lution control programs in cities, counties and other polirical subdivisions of the state and provide planning,technical and enforcement assistance. � • 3 • RULE3 AND REGULATION9 APC 1 (Delete pages 7-10 and insert Amended APC 1) CHAPTER ONE: APC 1 APC i Ambient Air Quality Standards (a) The "prunary" air quality standards are levels of air pollutants above which, on the basis of present knowledge, health hazazds or impairment may be produced. Health hazards include not only production, aggravation or possible production of disease, but also interference with function. Health impairment includes sensory irritation and impairment of well being by such phenomena as odor. The "secondary" air quality standards are levels which are desirable to protect the public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects, such as injury to agricultural crops and livestock, damage to or deterioration of property, annoyance and nuisance of person, sensory impairment and obstruction, or hazards to air and ground transportation. (b) No person shall emit any pollutant in such an amount or in such a manner as to exceed any ambient air quality standazd herein beyond such person's property line, without respect to whether emission regulations stated in other air pollution control regulations of the Agency are also being violated.

In the case of breakdown, the operator shall notify the Director immediately, except that a temporary breakdown of less than one hour duration need not be reported. In the case of either a shutdown or reportable breakdown, the operator shall also, at the time of notification or as soon thereafter as pos- sible, inform the Director of the cause, and the estimated duration of the shutdown or breakdown. The operator shall undertake all reasonable efforts • to correct the cause and restore the equipment to full operation. No equip- ment, installation or facility shall be operated which has an unreasonable breakdown frequency as determined by the Director. In any event, no opera- tion that may cause an immediate public health hazazd shall be deemed an exception from this regulation. (b) Emission Source Monitoring (1) All persons responsible for the emission of air contaminants may be required to establish an emission source monitoring system, upon order of the Director, when in his judgment other methods of ineasurement or calculation do not provide adequate information on the level or variation of emissions to assure compliance with the regulations. The monitoring sys- tem may include the installation and operation of such monitoring instru- ments as are available and reasonably necessary to assure the accuracy of the monitoring. All emission source monitoring sha11 be accomplished by the following listed methodology and testing or other methodology an@ testing as the Director shall require: e.g., as to visible emissions, a phota electric or other type of visible emission detector and recorder; e.g., as to hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, carbon monolude and nitrogen oxides, instru- ments designed for continuous monitoring and recording; e.g., as to particu- late emissions, annually, by ASM�PTC 27. Results of such tests shall be reported to the Director within 45 days. (2) The accuracy of all such instruments and the adequacy of the mon- itoring system shall be demonstrated to the statisfaction of the Director prior to the issuance of an installation permit, and at any other time that the Direc- tor may request. (3) All information obtained as a result of such monitoring shall be • furnished to the Director at such tnnes and in such form as he may specify. The Director shall publish all such information indicating emissions ia 9 APC 8 MINPiESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY • ` excess of those permitted by law. Any emissions data published by the Director shall be presented in such a manner as to show the relationship between actual and allowable emissions. Within ten days of receipt of a written request from any person, the Director shall provide the available recorded hourly emission or other available monitoring data from any source for a period not exceeding four consecutive days. (4) In the case of an intended shutdown of any monitoring instruments, the operator shall notify the Director at least 24 hours in advance of the shutdown. In the case of a breakdown, the operator shall notify the Director immediately, except that a temporary breakdown of less than 60 minutes duration need not be reported. In the event of either a shutdown or report- able breakdown, the operator shall also, at the time of notification or as soon thereafter as possible, inform the Director of the cause, and the esti- mated duration of the shutdown or breakdown.

It is recommended plants or installations burning solid fuel or liquid fuels of Grades 5 or 6 (PS No. 300 or PS No. 400) and having more than 1,000,000 BTU input capacity be equipped with smoke indicators, mirrors, or similaz approved devices to enable the fireman to observe the breaching or the top of the stack or stacks from the boiler room � at all times, unless the top of the stack is readily visible to the fireman from the boiler room without the use of such devices. In plants where a fireman is not in constant attendance in the boiler, and when the boilers fired at one time aggregate more than 1,000 squaze feet of heating surface the smoke indicators should be capable of sounding an alarm or flashing a signal to attract the attention of the fireman. Any existing plant or installation which emits smoke of a density greater than permitted by appropriate regulation shall install such indicating devices. • 16 • , DUST BMISSION� D� POII�DS P8R NILLION HTQ INpOT M p r N W A • V1 01 J Q 10 O p w N p 3 f]S Y O M qFM ~ g 7{Q.W NNO�N f�►Ir F+Oµ M O N f►ff 41 O O Q O C � �p�.� n pA P 9 dU ,�' F+�9 a�! o g p'xX n e n mawx� o00 � �°ow� a'�� amo• ww,n ° rorowa aaa z o°m yx°m H N O W N rt exf � 9 p B t!. �p� S� .'� fI7 Y nas• m m eao w �e �.s w G OG � OO� k40, gau r �K o►°+� oas 60 M Ip+M� �G C 1�'S MM r ►�+ 0 87� e rororow �CO I tli . 006 �f W i• p KKM y O m I Ic-�rt $ z� aaa F+ N41W p Mb f� y A o� x b o crrow a e H OiQP b`NU~inW �.rl �� m '�i Y :�,�r y�,o � �y � a � � 1 7 Y R I Vyx�fl � ►7 n ~� M p N` i1 O ~ �p0 qf !i N O .� O A F ( p O 0�0 N � "r: �y Ig� :I � '�' H p o �O7 s� ox t�° � r � e � mi°n salc�sa a°r o� � � F+a n• er �y m h W W o O O H r 6O rt P'G ��K ~O E�a OQ M N � Y W Ir 1-� Y1.� � y � :a�°. � (°a ! � y m a Y'n w °a ( v o° a t°�i �' ro o w � � o 0 0 o e� a � iro p d � � I � ,�p ~ M tY q F+ N O O ~ y� � a y' O G ''11 O H � W d O yy w I � o 0 o a 0 0 o � i o I f r �., 0 0 � � o o . , r ►� o o �+ ►.+ w a a o� .i a io o N o Is • ' • RULES AND HEGULATIONS APC 11 (Delete pages 39-40 and insert Amended APC 11) CHAPTER ELEVEN: APC 11 APC 11 Restriction of Emis�lon of V�ible Air Con�ants (a) Smoke restrictions applicable to existing installations including boats and ships except existing incmeration. No person shall cause or permrt the emission of smoke or any ather air contaminant which has a shade or density: (1) Darker than No. 3 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart or of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than smoke of No, 3 Ringelmann density. (2) Darker than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart but less than No. 3 on said chart, if such emission continues for longer than 4 minutes in the aggregate in any 60-minuRe period, or of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than smoke of No. 2, but less than No. 3 Ringelmann density during such period. (3) Darker than No. i on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart but less than No. 2 on said chart, if said emission continues for longer than 4 minutes in the aggregate in any 30-minute period, or of such opacity to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than smoke of No, i, but less than No. 2 Ringelmann density during such period. The density of smoke or other air contaminant shall be measured at the • point of its emission, except, when the point of emission cannot be readily observed, measurement shall be made at the nearest observable point on the plume from the point of emission origin. (b) Smoke restrictions applicable to new installations and all incinerators. No person shall dischazge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any a�r contaminant which has a shade or density; (1) Dazker than that designated as No. 1 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart; or (2) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree greater than smoke described in subsection (b) (1) of this regulation. (c) Exceptions. (1) A person may discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission for a period or periods aggregating not more than 4 minutes in any 60 minutes air contaminants of a shade or density: (aa) Not dazker than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart; or (bb) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree not greater than does smoke described in subsection(c) (1)(aa)of this regulation. Where the presence of uncombined water is the only reason for failure of an emission to meet the requirements of section (a) or (b) of this regula- tion, such sections shall not apply.The provisions of this regulation shall not apply to: (i) Transfer of molten metals; • (ii) Emissions from transfer ladles; 17 APC 11 MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY • , (iri) Coke ovens when pushing coke from oven; (iv) Water quenching of coke on dischazge from ovens; (v) Existing grey iron jobbing cupolas as defined in Regulation APC 5; and (vi) Blast furnaces during slips. (2) A temporary operaRional breakdown of any equipment, installation or facility may be pemutted by the Agency to be an exception to the provi- sions of Regulation APC 11 provided the owner or operator immediately advises the Director of the circumstances and outlines an acceptable conec- tive program. A temporary breakdown of less Rhan 15 minutes duration is an exception to the provisions of Regulation APC 11 and need not be re- ported. No equipment, installation or facility shall be operated which has an unreasonable breakdown frequency as determined by the Director. In any event, no operation that may cause an immediate public heal�th hazard shall be deemed an exception from this regulation. (d) Ringelmann Smoke Chazt. The Ringelmann Smoke Chart shall mean and include any of the following: (1) The Ringelmann Smoke Chart with instructions for use (Informa- tion Circular 8333, May, 1967, Rev. of IC 7718) as published by the U.S. Bureau of Mines; (2) The Ringelmann Smoke Chart, photographically reduced to 1/19th in size and known as Power's Microringelmann Chart, copyright 1954 by • McGraw-Hill Publishing Company; and (3) Such other method or apparatus for determining smoke density or opacity as the Agency may approve.
