Regulatory Text:
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Chapter 111 - Control of Air Emissions from Visible Emissions and Particulate Matter
Subchapter A : Visible Emissions and Particulate Matter
DIVISION 6 : EMISSIONS LIMITS ON AGRICULTURAL PROCESSES
Undesignated heading EMISSIONS LIMITS ON AGRICULTURAL PROCESSES, adopted by TACB June 16, 1989 effective July 18, 1989 (1-07), Regulations.gov document EPA-R06-OAR-2005-TX-0028-0002 [TX034-02]; moved to new Subchapter A adopted by TNRCC August 21, 1996 effective September 16, 1996 (1-17) [Regulations.gov document EPA-R06-OAR-2005-TX-0028-0004 [TX034-04]]; and redesignated Subchapter A, Division 6, adopted by TNRCC May 17, 2000 effective June 11, 2000 (1-18).
Approved by EPA April 28, 2009 (74 FR 19144) effective May 28, 2009 (TXd103), Regulations.gov docket EPA-R06-OAR-2005-TX-0028 [TX034].
NOTE: The revisions adopted by TNRCC May 17, 2000 (1-18) were never submitted to EPA as a SIP revision. In this Federal Register action, EPA approved only the new Division designations in order to be consistent with the current Texas Chapter 111 designations.
Outline:
§111.171. Emissions Limits Based on Process Weight Method. 1-07, TXd103
§111.173. Emissions Limits Based on Alternate Method. 1-07, TXd103
§111.175. Exemptions. 1-07, TXd103
§111.171. Emissions Limits Based on Process Weight Method.
1-07: As adopted by TACB June 16, 1989 effective July 18, 1989 (1-07).
Approved by EPA April 28, 2009 (74 FR 19144) effective May 28, 2009 (TXd103).
No person affected by §3.10(e) of the Texas Clean Air Act may cause, suffer, allow, or permit emissions of particulate matter from any or all sources associated with a specific process to exceed the allowable levels specified in Table 3 as follows, except as provided by §111.173 of this title (relating to Emissions Limits Based on Alternate Method). Any affected person who does not request an alternate method and notify the executive director in writing shall be regulated by the process weight method.
Adopted June 16, 1989, Effective July 18, 1989 (1-07).

§111.173. Emissions Limits Based on Alternate Method.
1-07: As adopted by TACB June 16, 1989 effective July 18, 1989 (1-07).
Approved by EPA April 28, 2009 (74 FR 19144) effective May 28, 2009 (TXd103).
Any person affected by §3.10(e) of the Texas Clean Air Act who does not wish to be regulated by the process weight method may request an alternate method of regulation which the executive director finds will provide equivalent emission control efficiency to §111.171 of this title (relating to Emissions Limits Based on Process Weight Method).
Adopted June 16, 1989, Effective July 18, 1989 (1-07).

Interpolation of the data in this table for process weights up to 40,000 pounds per hour (lb/hr) shall be accomplished by the use of the equation E = 3.12(p0.985), and interpolation and extrapolation of the data for process weight rates in excess of 40,000 lb/hr shall be accomplished by use of the equation E = 25.4(p0.287) where E = rate of emission in lb/hr and p = process weight rate in tons per hour.
