| 3. Veneer and Plywood Manufacturing Operations |
| |
A. Veneer Dryers |
| |
|
(1) Consistent with Section 33-060-2, A-D, it is the objective
of this section to control air contaminant emissions, including but not
limited to condensible hydrocarbons, such that visible emissions from each
veneer dryer are limited to a level which does not cause a characteristic
"blue Haze" to be observable. |
| |
|
(2) No person shall operate any veneer dryer such that visible
air contaminants emitted from any dryer stack or emission point exceed: |
| |
|
(a) an average operating opacity
of 10%; and |
| |
|
(b) a maximum opacity of 20%. |
| Where the presence of uncombined water is the only reason
for the failure to meet the above requirement, this requirement shall not
apply. |
| |
|
(3) Particulate emissions from wood-fired veneer dryers shall not
exceed: |
| |
|
(a) 0.75 pounds per 1000 square feet

dryer are exempt from LRAPA 32-020 and 030. |
| |
|
(5) Each veneer dryer shall be maintained and operated at all times
such that air contaminant generating processes and all contaminant control
equipment shall be at full efficiency and effectiveness so that the emissions
of air contaminants are kept at the lowest practicable levels. |
| |
|
(6) No person shall willfully cause or permit the installation
or use of any means, such as dilution, which without resulting in a reduction
in the total amount of air contaminants emitted, conceals an emission which
would otherwise violate this regulation. |
| |
|
(7) Where effective measures are not taken to minimize fugitive
emissions, the Authority may require that the equipment or structures in
which processing, handling and storage are done be tightly closed, modified,
or operated in such a way that air contaminants are minimized, controlled,
or removed before discharge to the open air. |
| |
|
(8) The Authority may require more restrictive emission limits
than provided in Section 33-060-3.A(2) and (3) for an individual plant upon
finding by the Board of Directors that the individual plant is located or
is proposed to be located in a special problem area. The more restrictive
emission limits for special problem areas may be established on the basis
of allowable emission expressed in opacity, pounds per hour, or total maximum
daily emissions to the atmosphere, or a combination thereof. |
| |
B. No person shall cause to be emitted particulate
matter from veneer and plywood mill sources, including but not limited to,
sanding machines, saws, presses, barkers, hogs, chippers and other material
size reduction equipment, process or space ventilation systems, and truck

Manual consist of three (3) separate consecutive runs having a minimum
sampling time of sixty (60) minutes each and a maximum sampling time
of eight (8) hours each. The three values for concentration (ppm or
grains/dscf) are averaged and expressed as the daily arithmetic average
which is used to determine compliance with process weight limitations,
grain loading or volumetric concentration limitations and to determine
daily emission rate.
- "Kraft Mill" or "Mill" means any industrial operation
which uses for a cooking liquor an alkaline sulfide solution containing
sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide in its pulping process.
- "Lime Kiln" means any production device in which calcium
carbonate is thermally converted to calcium oxide.
- "Non-Condensibles" means gases and vapors, contaminated
with TRS compounds, from the digestion and multiple-effect evaporation
processes of a mill.
- "Other Sources" means sources of TRS emissions in a kraft
mill other than recovery furnaces and lime kilns, including but not
limited to:

condition.
- "Particulate Matter" means all solid or liquid material,
other than uncombined water, emitted to the ambient air, as measured
by EPA Method 5 or an equivalent test method in accordance with the
Department Source Test Manual. Particulate matter emission determinations
by EPA Method 5 shall use water as the cleanup solvent instead of acetone,
and consist of the average of three (3) separate consecutive runs having
a minimum sampling time of 60 minutes each, a maximum sampling time
of eight (8) hours each, and a minimum sampling volume of 31.8 dscf
each.
- "Parts Per Million (ppm)" means parts of a contaminant per
million parts of gas by volume on a dry-gas basis (1 ppm equals 0.0001%
by volume).
- "Production" means the daily amount of air-dried unbleached
pulp, or equivalent, produced during the 24-hour period each calendar
day, or Authority-approved equivalent period, and expressed in air-dried
metric tons (admt) per day. The corresponding English unit is air-dried

standard dry cubic foot. When applied to recovery furnace gases, "standard
dry cubic meter" requires adjustment of the gas volume to that
which would result in a concentration of 8% oxygen if the oxygen concentration
exceeds 8%. When applied to lime kiln gases, "standard dry cubic
meter" requires adjustment of the gas volume to that which would
result in a concentration of 10% oxygen if the oxygen concentration
exceeds 10%. The mill shall demonstrate that oxygen concentrations are
below noted values or furnish oxygen levels and corrected pollutant
data. "Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) means the sum of the sulfur compounds
hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide,

| 2. Statement of Policy |
| Recent technological developments have enhanced the degree
of malodorous emissions control possible for the kraft pulping process.
While recognizing that complete malodorous and particulate emission control
is not presently possible, consistent with the meteorological and geographical
conditions in Oregon, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the Authority
to: |
| |
A. Require, in accordance with a specific program and
time table for all sources at each operating mill, the highest and best
practicable treatment and control of atmospheric emissions from kraft mills
through the utilization of technically feasible equipment, devices, and
procedures. Consideration will be given to the economic life of equipment
which, when installed, complies with the highest and best practicable treatment
requirement. |
| |
B. Require degrees and methods of treatment for major
and minor emissions points that will minimize emissions of odorous gases
and eliminate ambient odor nuisances |
| |
C. Require effective monitoring and reporting of emissions
and reporting of other data pertinent to air quality or emissions. The Authority
will use these data in conjunction with ambient air data and observation
of conditions in the surrounding area to develop and revise emission and
ambient air standards, and to determine compliance therewith. |
| |
D. Encourage and assist the kraft pulping industry
to conduct a research and technological development program designed to
progressively reduce kraft mill emissions, in accordance with a definite
program, including specified objectives and time schedules. |
