EPA v. GLENN HUNTER - ACO

Case summary

On June 30, 2014, EPA issued to Glenn Hunter a Notice of Violation/Finding of Violation (NOV/FOV) alleging that unit P904, the rotary dryer and its associated baghouse, is subject to NSPS Subpart UUU. EPA also alleged that Glenn Hunter was operating its rotary dryer without ensuring that the rotary dryer baghouse was operating properly and concurrently, and that Glenn Hunter failed to install a COMS as required by the Rule. EPA also determined that NSPS Subpart OOO also applies to other equipment at the facility not previously identified as subject to the Rule. In the ACO, Glenn Hunter agrees to move unit F002 (onsite portable conveyor), inside the crusher house permanently, move unit P904 (rotary dryer), inside the blackhouse permanently and install a new 10,000 acfm baghouse and COMS at the dryer, perform an engineering evaluation at the unit P901 (impact crusher) baghouse and install a higher airflow capacity baghouse if the existing P901 baghouse does not meet OOO PM limits, and perform visible emission observations at each unit quarterly as required by Subpart OOO. The compliance provisions in the ACO also require that Glenn Hunter apply to Ohio EPA to amend its existing Permit-to-Install and Operate to incorporate these requirements, and to continuously comply with the NSPS Subparts OOO and UUU.
