This subpart establishes national emission limitations for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from brick and structural clay products (BSCP) manufacturing facilities. This subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the emission limitations.
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a BSCP manufacturing facility that is, is located at, or is part of, a major source of HAP emissions according to the criteria in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
(a) A BSCP manufacturing facility is a plant site that manufactures brick (including, but not limited to, face brick, structural brick, and brick pavers); clay pipe; roof tile; extruded floor and wall tile; and/or other extruded, dimensional clay products. Brick and structural clay products manufacturing facilities typically process raw clay and shale, form the processed materials into bricks or shapes, and dry and fire the bricks or shapes. A plant site that manufactures refractory products, as defined in § 63.9824, or clay ceramics, as defined in § 63.8665, is not a BSCP manufacturing facility.
(b) A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources within a contiguous area under common control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.
(a) This subpart applies to each existing, new, or reconstructed affected source at a BSCP manufacturing facility.
(b) For the purposes of this subpart, the affected sources are described in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) All tunnel kilns at a BSCP manufacturing facility are an affected source. For the remainder of this subpart, a tunnel kiln with a design capacity equal to or greater than 9.07 megagrams per hour (Mg/hr) (10 tons per hour (tph)) of fired product will be called a large tunnel kiln, and a tunnel kiln with a design capacity less than 9.07 Mg/hr (10 tph) of fired product will be called a small tunnel kiln.
(2) Each periodic kiln is an affected source.
(c) Process units not subject to the requirements of this subpart are listed in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Kilns that are used exclusively for setting glazes on previously fired products are not subject to the requirements of this subpart.
(2) Raw material processing and handling.
(3) Dryers.
(4) Sources covered by subparts KKKKK and SSSSS of this part.
(d) A source is a new affected source if construction of the affected source began after December 18, 2014, and you met the applicability criteria at the time you began construction.
(e) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria as defined in § 63.2.
(f) An affected source is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.
(a) You must comply with this subpart no later than the compliance dates in Table 7 to this subpart.
(b) You must meet the notification requirements in § 63.8480 according to the schedule in § 63.8480 and in subpart A of this part. Some of the notifications must be submitted before you are required to comply with the emission limitations in this subpart.
