PART
Env-A 2702 EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HOT
MIX ASPHALT PLANTS
Env-A 2702.01 Particulate Matter Emission Standards for
Hot Mix Asphalt Plants. The owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt
plant shall
not
cause or allow emissions of particulate matter from the hot mix asphalt plant to
exceed 90 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter, or 0.04 grains per dry
standard cubic foot.

Env-A 2702.02 Visible Emission Standards for Hot Mix
Asphalt Plants.
(a)
The
owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt plant shall not cause or allow visible
fugitive emissions or visible stack emissions to exceed an average of 20 percent
opacity for any continuous 6-minute period.
(b)
Opacity shall be determined in accordance with Env-A 807.

PART
Env-A 2703 FUGITIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM FOR HOT MIX ASPHALT PLANTS
Env-A 2703.01 Fugitive Emission Control System Required.
(a)
The
owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt plant shall not operate
the plant
unless it is equipped with a fugitive emission control system that is
operated and maintained to prevent the emission of particulate matter from any
point other than the stack outlet.
(b)
The following sources and devices at a hot mix asphalt plant shall be
exempt from the fugitive emission control system:
(1) Overflow chutes;
(2) Aggregate cold feed bins;
(3) Feeders; and
(4) Aggregate conveyors.

PART
Env-A 2704 FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL WITHIN
THE PLANT PROPERTY
Env-A 2704.01 Fugitive Dust Control Within Plant
Property.
(a)
The
owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt plant shall control the emission
of dust caused by vehicular movement within the plant property boundaries using methods that
include, but are not limited to, paving or wetting the roadway.
(b)
The
owner or operator of a hot mix asphalt plant shall control emissions of
dust from ancillary devices and sources, such as overflow chutes, aggregate
cold feed bins, feeders, aggregate conveyors, and stockpiles, using
methods
that include, but are not limited to, wet suppression,
windbreaks, enclosures, or soil stabilization.
