The Department proposes to add OAC 242:100-17, Part 9, Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerator Units (CISWI), to provide the means for implementing and enforcing the federal emission guidelines at 40 CFR 60, Subpart DDDD and incorporates by reference sections of 40 CFR 60, Subpart CCCC. In addition to establishing emission standards for certain regulated pollutants, the new rule will establish permitting, operator qualifications and training, waste management plans, testing and monitoring of pollutants, and operating parameter requirements.

F. OAC 252:100-33. Control of Emission of Nitrogen Oxides. [AMENDED]

The Department proposes an emergency revision to Section 1.2 of Subchapter 33 which will exempt glass-melting furnaces from the NOx (nitrogen oxides) emission limits for fuel-burning equipment contained in OAC 252:100-33-2. This will eliminate an unintended barrier to the construction of new glass plants in the State due to an inability of glass-melting furnaces to meet these NOx emission limits.
