Permitting Procedures Manual Soil/Groundwater Remediation Revised: December 18, 2013
A. DESCRIPTION A typical soil and/or groundwater remediation system consists of both a vapor extraction system used to extract vapors from the contaminated area and a control device used to control emissions from the vapor extraction system. The types of systems included in this manual are in-situ soil vapor extraction systems (SVE), ex-situ soil burners, air stripping systems, ex-situ soil aeration, bioremediation projects, contaminated soil excavations, contaminated soil stockpiles, and air pollution control devices for soil and groundwater remediation. Separate permit application forms with the appropriate fees are required for the vapor extraction system and each control device used at the site. The permit application consists of form G100, form HRA100, and the appropriate supplemental forms located on the SMAQMD website (www.airquality.org). B. PERMIT APPLICATIONS 1. Permit Application Requirements A Permit to Operate is required for each of the following pieces of equipment or ex-situ soil remediation projects: a. Portable or stationary in-situ soil vapor extraction systems, ex-situ soil burners (rotary kiln), soil aeration, or soil excavations unless exempt. b.

XIX-2
2. Permit to Operate Exemptions a. A Permit to Operate is not required for an individual source if it is determined by the Air Pollution Control Officer that the soil or groundwater remediation system has total uncontrolled VOC emissions that are less than 2 lbs/day and the risk assessment for toxic air contaminants results in an excess cancer risk of less than 0.1 in one million. In addition, the acute and chronic hazard index may not exceed 1. b. Pilot tests may be exempt from permitting providing the following: the test is 5 days or less in duration, an emission control device is used during the testing period, the equipment used for testing is exempt from permitting requirements as defined in Rule 201, a soil vapor extraction system has not been operated previously at the site (unless written approval is granted by the SMAQMD on a case-by-case basis), and written approval has been given by the Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO). A written proposal for an exemption is required at least 7 working days prior to the expected test start date. The request shall include: i. The date and time of test ii. Location of test iii. Purpose of test iv. Duration of test v. A system layout vi. The manufacturer s specifications for the proposed emission control device vii. Any support equipment used during the test viii. Contaminants of concern at the site ix. Lab data for samples taken from the site x. Expected emission rates, and carbon usage rate (if applicable) In addition, the SMAQMD must be notified in writing if the test start or end dates change. An exemption for a pilot test lasting longer than 5 days and/or a second pilot test at a location with a cumulative onsite time of more than 5 days may be approved on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific circumstances requiring a longer testing period or a second test. In addition, any control device or control equipment in which the published manufacturer s specification exceeds the exemption limit set by the SMAQMD will not be exempt and will require a permit. For example, an IC engine that is rated over 50 horsepower or a gas fired oxidizer that is rated at or above 1,000,000 BTU/HR. c. Any soil aeration project involving exclusively hydrocarbons with a boiling point of 302 F or greater shall be exempt from permitting and BACT requirements. In addition, any aeration project involving gasoline contaminated soil with an average TPHg concentration of 50 ppm by weight or less or involving 5 cubic yards of soil or less per facility shall be exempt from permitting and Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements. However, if elevated benzene concentrations exist in the soil, a screening health risk assessment will be performed by the SMAQMD in order to determine the final status of the proposed soil aeration project. All soil aeration or soil excavation projects that are exempted from SMAQMD rules must submit a written proposal to the SMAQMD at least 7 working days before the proposed start date. All soil aeration/excavation proposals must include: i. The site address ii. The name of the property owner iii. The name of all contractors involved in the project iv. The estimated amount of soil to be aerated/excavated at the site v. The estimated amount of soil to be aerated per day (in cubic yards) XIX-3
vi. The type of contaminants in the soil vii. All lab analysis related to the contaminated soil viii. Emission rate calculations ix. Method of soil disposal x. And methods used to suppress fugitive emissions. Note: if the start or end dates change, the SMAQMD must receive a written notification of the new start/end date before the aeration process has started. The exposed surfaces of an excavated area will not be included in calculations that determine the volume of soil excavated. All inactive storage piles shall be kept covered with a continuous sheet of plastic 6 mils or thicker. Other material used to cover a storage pile will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All cover material seams must be sealed adequately enough to prevent fugitive emissions. Furthermore, all cover material must be securely anchored and have minimal headspace between the cover and the soil. Active storage piles shall have an exposed area only where work is being performed and must be covered immediately after work is completed or work on the pile is stopped for longer than 30 minutes. Upon approval of the proposal, permission to aerate/excavate the soil under the exemption will be granted. A permit shall be required for all other non-exempt soil aeration/excavation projects. d. All IC engines that are used to support a remediation system, that are 50 horsepower or less as determined by test procedure SAE J1349 or SAE J1995, and are not the control device shall be exempt from permitting requirements. 3. Permit Application Forms The following application forms must be completed and submitted by the applicant when applying for an Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate for any soil and/or groundwater remediation system equipment.

STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS The following standards and/or requirements must be met in order to obtain an Authority to Construct and/or a Permit to Operate: 1. SMAQMD Regulation 2 Permits a. Rule 202 New Source Review i. Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Section 301 requires a new emissions unit or modification of an existing emissions unit to apply BACT if the daily potential to emit meets or exceeds the levels specified in Section 302.1 and below: Pollutant Volatile Organic Compound, VOC Nitrogen Oxides, NOx Sulfur Oxides, SOx Particulate Matter, PM10 Particulate Matter, PM2.5 Carbon Monoxide, CO BACT Trigger Level 0 lb/day 0 lb/day 0 lb/day 0 lb/day 0 lb/day 550 lb/day ii. BACT is defined as the most effective emission control device, emission limit, or technique, which has been required or used for the type of equipment or process. BACT determinations for soil and groundwater remediation systems are the following and apply to both large emission sources (>10 lb/day) and small emission sources (<10 lb/day): (a) For VOC Emissions: BACT for remediation projects is defined as attainment of set VOC control efficiencies corresponding to set influent concentration values (unless effluent VOC concentrations are less than 10 ppmv), as shown below: XIX-9
For VOC Concentration at Influent of Control Device (ppmv): For VOC Concentration at Effluent of Control Device (ppmv): VOC BACT for Soil and Groundwater Remediation: Required VOC Control Efficiency (A) N/A <10 ppmv None >2,000 ppmv N/A >98.5% >200 ppmv to <2,000 ppmv N/A >97% <200 ppmv N/A >90% Maximum Effluent VOC Daily Limit (B) 9.9 lb/day Typical VOC Control Technology (C) 1. Catalytic Oxidizers 2. Thermal Oxidizers 3. Carbon Adsorption 4. IC Engines (A) Based on Bay Area AQMD s BACT determination for Soil Vapor Extraction as Achieved in Practice (6-16-1995). (B) Based on the daily VOC limit that has been achieved in practice in the SMAQMD. (C) Catalytic oxidizers and thermal oxidizers shall be equipped with continuous temperature monitoring equipment and carbon adsorption systems shall perform monthly carbon breakthrough monitoring to ensure that BACT destruction efficiencies are met. (b) For NOx, SOx, PM10, PM2.5, and CO Emissions: Air pollution control devices for VOC emissions from soil and groundwater remediation systems may emit secondary criteria pollutant emissions of NOx, SOx, PM10, PM2.5, and CO, but since the emission source is an air pollution control device for VOC emissions, BACT does not apply. iii. Emission Offsets Section 302 requires that applicants provide emissions offsets for new or modified stationary sources where the cumulative emission increase for the facility exceeds the following levels: Pollutant Pounds/Quarter Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 5,000 Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) 5,000 Sulfur Oxides (SOx) 13,650 PM10 7,300 PM2.5 15 TPY Carbon Monoxide (CO) 49,500 XIX-10
b. Rule 217 Public Notice Requirements for Permits Prior to approving and Authority to Construct application for a new or modified stationary source or emissions unit which has an increase in potential to emit exceeding any of the following limits or where emission offsets are required pursuant to Rule 202, the District must submit a preliminary decision to CARB and EPA for review and publish the preliminary decision soliciting public review and comment at least 30 days prior to final action on the application. Pollutant Pounds/Quarter Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 5,000 Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) 5,000 Sulfur Oxides (SOx) 9,200 PM10 7,300 PM2.5 10 TPY Carbon Monoxide (CO) 49,500 2. SMAQMD Regulation 4 Prohibitory Rules a. Rule 401, Section 301: Visible emissions may not exceed No. 1 on the Ringelmann Chart or 20% opacity for more than three minutes in any one hour. b. Rule 402, Section 301: A person cannot discharge pollutants which cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such person, or which may cause damage to business or property (see Nuisance - Public Health section below). c. Rule 404, Section 301: A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any source particulate matter in excess of 0.23 grams per dry standard cubic meter (0.1 grains per dry standard cubic foot). d. Rule 406, Section 302: i. Combustion contaminant concentration at point of discharge shall not exceed 0.1 grains per dry standard cubic foot of gas, corrected to 12% carbon dioxide. ii. Sulfur compounds in any state or combination thereof at the point of discharge shall not exceed 0.2% by volume, calculated as sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ). e. Rule 420, Section 301: i. The sulfur content of gaseous fuels shall not exceed 50 grains per 100 cubic feet of gaseous fuel calculated as hydrogen sulfide at standard conditions. ii. The sulfur content of liquid or solid fuels shall not exceed a sulfur content of 0.5% by weight. Standard CARB diesel fuel complies with this requirement at 0.0015% sulfur by weight (typically not expected to be used as a fuel source). XIX-11
3. Nuisance Toxics Review and Toxics Best Available Control Technology (T-BACT) a. Toxics Review: Based on SMAQMD Rule 402 Nuisance, the SMAQMD evaluates the impact of a facility's toxic emissions project using the SMAQMD s guidance document, Health Risk Management Programs for Existing, Modified and New Stationary Sources. The action levels are summarized below. Please refer to the actual guidance document for more detail on how to calculate and interpret health risk: Cancer Risk: Excess Cancer Risk 0.1 per million Action Required Exempt from further toxic review. > 0.1 per million but 1 per million No significant risk; No action required. > 1 per million but 10 per million Acceptable risk; Provide T-BACT > 10 per million but 100 per million Permit denied unless the APCO makes a finding that not approving the project may result in a greater negative impact to the public than approving the project. > 100 per million Denial of permit. Non-Cancer Health Risk (Acute and Chronic): Hazard Index (HI) Action Required HI < 1 HI 1 Health risk is within acceptable range Consult OEHHA for further guidance When evaluating the cancer and non-cancer risks, the specific toxic air pollutants that need to be addressed are those that have potency values or reference exposure levels identified in the OEHHA s Health Risk Assessment Guidelines (http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/hot_spots/index.html). b. Toxics Best Available Control Technology (T-BACT): T-BACT is similar to BACT, but applies to any new or modified source of toxic air pollutants which have health risks that exceed the specified levels above. Since the toxic pollutants of concern from soil and groundwater remediation (typically, TPHg, benzene, MtBE, perchloroethylene) are VOCs, the T-BACT determination for soil and groundwater remediation will be similar to the BACT determination, as follows: Pollutant T-BACT for Soil and Groundwater Remediation Catalytic Oxidizers Volatile Organic Compound, VOC Thermal Oxidizers Carbon Adsorption IC engines XIX-12
4. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The SMAQMD has developed a comprehensive permitting CEQA Guidance document. Project reviews conducted in accordance with the policy manuals contained therein (including this manual) have been determined to meet the CEQA criteria of ministerial and do not require additional CEQA review. In the event a project falls outside the scope of this policy manual (for example a new BACT determination or other situation already described within the CEQA guidance document), the project shall follow the steps for CEQA review as detailed in the guidance document. 5. Other Standards Direct Venting Without a Control Device In the case where a remediation system has been permitted to operate by the SMAQMD and the influent concentrations to the emission control device drop to the levels indicated below, the applicant may submit a modification application to remove the control device and vent directly to ambient air. a. Daily total uncontrolled VOC emissions from the removal of a control device does not result in a daily emissions increase requiring BACT. The daily emissions increase shall be calculated as the daily Potential to Emit minus the daily Historic Potential Emissions (Rule 202, Section 413.2). b. Total uncontrolled VOC emissions are less than 9.9 lbs/day based on at least three consecutive months of source test data. (However, it is recommended that six consecutive months or more of source test data be collected to ensure seasonal factors do not result in a VOC emissions rebound.) c. The facility-wide excess cancer risk to the maximum impacted receptors is less than or equal to 1 in one million due to any uncontrolled emissions that have been identified as toxic air contaminants. d. The facility-wide excess non-cancer hazard index to the maximum impacted receptors is less than or equal to 1 due to any uncontrolled emissions that have been identified as toxic air contaminants. 6. Requirements for Uncontrolled Soil Aeration All contaminated soil excavation, soil stockpiling, soil bioremediation, soil stabilization and all other types of soil remediation projects are required to obtain a permit unless the Air Pollution Control Officer issues a written exemption letter. A soil aeration project will require a permit and public health screen if the project is not exempt as defined in the exemption section of this document. For permitted soil aeration projects, TPHg and benzene emission rates will be estimated using the following factors: a. The average TPHg or benzene concentration found by sampling and analysis of the soil stockpile. b. Five days of aeration. c. The total volume of soil in cubic yards. d. A soil density of 3,900 in lb/cy. XIX-13
The TPHg emission rate for uncontrolled aeration shall not exceed 50 lb/day. If the emission rate is above 50 lb/day or if the public health risk assessment from any carcinogenic compound is unacceptable, then more stringent BACT or T-BACT shall be applied. A person shall not aerate contaminated soil in excess of that specified in the table below. The limitations in the table below apply to the entire facility, and indicate the volume of contaminated soil that may be aerated uncontrolled. Any more soil to be added to the soil already aerating must receive prior written approval from the SMAQMD. REQUIREMENTS FOR UNCONTROLLED SOIL AERATION TABLE TPHg ppm (weight) Volume of Soil (cubic yards) <50 Exempt 50-99 600 100-499 120 500-999 60 1000-1999 30 2000-2999 15 3000-3999 10 4000-4999 8 >5000 0.1 Controlled Aeration: soil may be aerated at volumes exceeding the limitations in the above table provided emissions of TPHg to the atmosphere are reduced by at least 95% by weight and the results of the public health risk assessment is found to be acceptable. NOTE: Contaminated soil stockpiles shall be kept completely and securely covered at all times. 7. IC Engine Requirements An IC engine that operates as a control device is required to obtain an Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate unless the engine is rated at less than 50 hp and it operates at the site for less than 5 calendar days. 8. Ozone Remediation Systems Please contact the SMAQMD regarding the installation and operation of an ozone remediation system. XIX-14
G. CALCULATING EMISSIONS The sample calculations listed below show a method to calculate the volume flow rates and mass emission rates for a soil vapor extraction system with an emission control device. The applicant may use other methods as long as the results are comparable. 1. Volume Flow Rate Calculations for Natural Gas Oxidizers It is preferred to measure the stack effluent volume flow rate directly. However, the total effluent volume flow rate for oxidizers and IC engines may need to be calculated. Therefore, the following formulas are an acceptable alternative. For systems that must meet a control efficiency, the influent and effluent mass emission rates can be calculated using this method below. The effluent volume flow rate in SCFM may be calculated based on field measurements obtained from the combined well flow rate, dilution airflow, combustion airflow (if applicable), and the supplemental natural gas or propane flow rate (if applicable). Sum all influent flow rates to obtain the total effluent flow rate as follows: Sample field measurements: Influent well vapor temperature: 85 F Dilution air temperature: 70 F Natural gas temperature: 68 F Well flow rate: 65 ACFM Dilution airflow rate: 30 ACFM Natural gas flow rate: 3 SCFM Combustion airflow rate: 70 SCFM (as specified by the manufacturer) a. Correct to standard temperature of 68 F for each flow measurement as follows: Well flow rate of 65 ACFM at 85 F: SC M AC M 0 0. SC M (Formula assumes the pressure differential is insignificant) b. Dilution airflow measured as 30 ACFM at 70 degrees: SC M 0 AC M 0 0 0. SC M c. Natural gas flow: 3 SCFM (already at standard temperature) d. Maximum Combustion Air Blower Capacity: 70 SCFM e. Effluent volume flow rate in SCFM (sum of the above flow rates): 62.97 + 29.9 + 3 + 70 = 165.87 SCFM, Total flow of stack effluent f. Flow rate conversion SCFM to m 3 /day: SC M 0 min hour hour day m. 1 feet,. m day XIX-15
Note: For Carbon Adsorption Systems the effluent volume flow rate may be measured directly in most cases due to low temperatures in the stack. 2. Mass Emission Rate Calculations The following formula can be used to determine the mass emission rate (lb/day) from a measured concentration (ppm): Q c = (C c) * (F) * (MW c ) * (60 minutes/hour) * (24 hours/day) (10 6 ) * (V) where: Q c = Mass Emission Rate of Contaminant c, lbs/day C c = Concentration of Contaminant c, ppmv F = Vapor Volume Flow Rate, SCFM 10 6 = Conversion from parts per million to parts per unit volume V = Molar Volume = 385.3 ft 3 /lb-mol (based on Ideal Gas Law for a gas at standard conditions of 68 F and 1 atm) MW c = Molecular Weight of Contaminant c Molecular weights for common chemicals: TPHg (Weathered gasoline): Benzene: MtBE: Trichloroethylene (TCE): Ethylene Dichloride (1,2-Dichloroethane): Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene, PCE): Chloroform: Vinyl Chloride: Methylene Chloride: 100 lb/lb-mol 78.11 lb/lb-mol 88.15 lb/lb-mol 131.4 lb/lb-mol 98.96 lb/lb-mol 165.8 lb/lb-mol 119.4 lb/lb-mol 62.5 lb/lb-mol 84.93 lb/lb-mol Sample concentration and field measurements: TPHg concentration, C c = 280 ppmv Flow Rate, F = 165.77 SCFM Molar Volume, V = 385.3 ft 3 /lb-mol (based on Ideal Gas Law for a gas at standard conditions of 68 F and 1 atm) Molecular Weight of TPHg, MW c = 100 lb/lb-mol Using the given concentration and flow rate, the mass emission rate is calculated as follows: Q c = (280 ppmv) * (165.77 SCFM) * (100 g/mol) * (60 min/hr) * (24 hr/day) (10 6 ) * (385.3 ft 3 /lb-mol) Q c = 17.3 lb/day TPHg XIX-16

3. Initial Source Testing Requirements Upon start-up of the operation, there shall be at least two compliance source tests conducted seven operational days apart from each other. Vapor samples shall be obtained and analyzed for the influent and effluent of the control device in order to verify compliance with the emission limits and VOC control efficiencies of the permit. The initial compliance source test samples shall be analyzed for the pollutants of concern within the first 96 hours from the start-up of operation. If the applicant chooses to continue operation of the system before they receive the analytical results, they will be liable for any emission levels that are exceeded. If preliminary laboratory test results have not been received by the end of the 4th calendar day from start-up, then the system shall be shut down. In addition, if the system cannot demonstrate compliance with an emission limit or the control efficiency requirement of the permit conditions, then the system shall be shut down as soon as determining non-compliance. SMAQMD approval for start-up operation must be obtained for either of the aforementioned situations. Note: The initial start-up period, as described above, is not exempt from the emission limitations specified by the permit or any applicable enforcement action, including the assessment of penalties. Acceptable sampling methods are listed in Table 2 unless otherwise approved by the Air Pollution Control Officer. 4. Ongoing Source Testing Requirements The sampling requirements and acceptable sampling equipment will be specified in the Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate. In the case of carbon adsorption control devices, vapor sampling/analysis may be required more frequently than for other pollution control devices to mitigate the risk of carbon breakthrough. However, carbon breakthrough monitoring shall be performed monthly to ensure that BACT destruction efficiencies are met, unless the SMAQMD grants written approval for an alternate monitoring frequency. 5. Carbon Breakthrough Monitoring For carbon adsorption systems, carbon breakthrough shall be monitored by the use of a Photo-Ionization Detector (PID), Flame-Ionization Detector (FID), or other method approved in writing by the Air Pollution Control Officer on a monthly basis, unless the SMAQMD grants written approval for an alternate monitoring frequency. 6. Reporting Requirements After completion of the initial compliance source tests, the applicant shall prepare and submit an initial emissions monitoring report documenting the results of the system sampling and analysis. This report must be submitted no later than 60 days after the second initial compliance source test date and shall include at least the following information (contained in the SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION INITIAL EMISSIONS MONITORING REPORT form): A. An as built process flow diagram, which includes all of the sampling and flow measurement locations. B. Lab analysis results of each pollutant of concern as specified in the Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate summarized in a table format, which shall include the date, time, hour meter readings, and all process parameters recorded every 15 minutes. Include lab analysis reports and the lab detection limits as an attachment. XIX-22
C. All calculations, including mass emission rate calculations, shall be in units of lbs/day for each pollutant of concern. D. For effluent samples that have pollutant concentrations below the lab detection limit, the lab detection limit must be used as the pollutant concentration when calculating the system emission rate. E. Any additional information that describes any modifications or revisions to the system design including adjustments of the preliminary process parameters (i.e., temperature, flow rates, etc.). F. Serial numbers from the summa canisters used to collect samples. G. For carbon adsorption systems: Results of all carbon breakthrough analysis as specified in the Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate and using the SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION CARBON BREAKTHROUGH MONITORING FORM. Sampling analysis must be performed by an independent, NELAP or ELAP certified laboratory to ensure compliance with SMAQMD Rules. The laboratory analysis report shall include all compounds that were detected for the specified test. For example, if test method EPA TO-15 was used, all detected compounds must be included in the report at the lowest detection limit for the test method. This applies to both influent and effluent samples. The SMAQMD shall be notified immediately after determining that the emission limits, the VOC control efficiency requirement, or the carbon breakthrough monitoring limits in the Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate are found to be in non-compliance. Refer to SMAQMD Rule 602 Breakdown Conditions: Emergency Variance for applicable breakdown procedures to determine if breakdown conditions apply. As specified in the Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate, the SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION ANNUAL CERTIFICATION REPORT shall be submitted to the SMAQMD within 30 days following the end of each calendar year.

Authority to Construct Evaluation A/C App # Date 2. NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR) COMPLIANCE: Rule 202 - New Source Review Section 301 - Best Available Control Technology The proposed potential to emit from the soil vapor extraction system exceeds the BACT threshold for VOC as specified in Section 301.1 and below. Therefore, BACT will be required for VOC. The thermal/catalytic oxidizer also emits secondary combustion emissions of NOx, SOx, PM10, PM2.5, and CO, but since the oxidizer is an air pollution control device for VOC emissions, BACT does not apply to the oxidizer.

Authority to Construct Evaluation A/C App # Date The applicant is proposing to use a thermal/catalytic oxidizer, which will be equipped with continuous temperature monitoring equipment and be required to conduct initial and annual VOC control efficiency testing to comply with BACT. Section 302 Offsets The cumulative emission increase for this stationary source does not meet or exceed the following levels of affected pollutant as specified in Section 302.1 and below. Therefore, emission offsets will not be required.

Project reviews conducted in accordance with the policy manuals contained therein have been determined to meet the CEQA criteria of ministerial and do not require additional CEQA review. This project falls within the scope of the SMAQMD Soil/Groundwater Remediation Permitting Procedures Manual and has been determined to be ministerial. No further review is required. Rule 214 Federal New Source Review This rule does not apply because this permit action is not for a new major stationary source or for a major modification at an existing major stationary source. Rule 217 Public Notification Requirements for Permits Sections 401-402 CARB, EPA, and Public Notification Emissions from this unit are not required to be offset pursuant to Rule 202, Section 302 and do not exceed the exemption level specified below. Therefore, pursuant to Section 110 of Rule 217, this permit action is exempt from the public notice requirements of Rule 217. _Pollutant lb/qtr_ VOC 5,000 NOx 5,000 SOx 9,200 PM10 7,300 PM2.5 10 TPY CO 49,500 3. PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION (PSD) COMPLIANCE: A source or modification triggers PSD if: Its potential to emit any one pollutant is greater than 100 tons/year (if one of the 28 selected industrial categories, including utility plants, steel plants, refineries, boilers >250 MMBtu/hr heat input) or greater than 250 tons/year (all other categories); and The project s contemporaneous emissions increase and net emissions increase for any pollutant is greater than the significance levels listed below:

PROHIBITORY RULES COMPLIANCE: Rule 401 Ringelmann Chart The proposed equipment is expected to comply with the Ringelmann No. 1 or 20% opacity requirement of this rule. Rule 402 Nuisance CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT The ISCST3 model was used to determine the ground level concentrations of benzene and MtBE from the source in the ambient air (the maximum impact point). The maximum ground level impact is used to show the risk of cancer. Residential excess cancer risk numbers are based on 70 years exposure. Non-residential excess cancer risk numbers are based on 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, and 40 years/70 year lifetime. Benzene and MtBE emissions from soil vapor extraction have been identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) as a toxic air contaminant (TAC). Facilities emitting TACs are required by the District to meet Toxic Best Available Control Technology (T-BACT) requirements if the Maximum Excess Cancer Risk (MECR) exceeds 1.0 in a million. Additionally the Acute and Chronic Hazard Index, which takes into account non-cancer health risks, shall be less than one for the facility. The index is the ratio of the highest ground level concentration to the non-cancer chronic and acute reference exposure levels. Meteorological data averaged over a 5-year period will be used.
Authority to Construct Evaluation A/C App # Date (insert only for thermal/catalytic oxidizers): The proposed oxidizer is able to operate as a thermal oxidizer or a catalytic oxidizer, depending on the concentrations of the pollutants being extracted. Different stack flow rates and temperatures exist depending on which mode is selected. When the catalytic oxidizer mode is selected the minimum expected stack flow rate is 345.2 acfm at a minimum stack temperature of 350 F; when the thermal oxidizer mode is selected the minimum expected stack flow rate is 622.2 acfm at a minimum stack temperature of 1,000 F. Due to these different input parameters, two models were run to determine how the concentration of air pollutants varied from one mode to the other. Based on a comparison of the resulting concentrations and allowable emission limits, the catalytic oxidizer produced the highest annual ground level concentrations for residential and nonresidential parcels. Therefore, the input parameters for the catalytic oxidizer mode will be used to conduct the health risk assessment as it represents the worst case scenario and the most constraining emissions. Breathing Rate Factor (BRF) Explanation: A breathing rate factor adjustment is used in the risk calculations to account for changes in OEHHA breathing factors and receptor dosage slope equations. The OEHHA breathing guidance changes increase the unit risk factors by a maximum of 25%, so an adjustment factor of 1.25 is used to account for the change.

Note that the risk is cumulative, based upon the impact from both benzene and MtBE emissions combined. Knowing that for benzene alone (with a higher unit risk factor) yields an unacceptable risk before an unacceptable hazard index, Risk will be the determining factor for an appropriate emission rate.

The method of calculating the HI numbers (Risk Assessment Guidelines) is also found at this website. The health risk for this project is considered acceptable to the SMAQMD because the Excess Cancer Risk for the facility does not exceed 1.0 in 1 million and the noncancer Acute/Chronic Hazard Index is less than one for all cases. At the imposed emissions limits, T-BACT is not triggered. Furthermore, the ambient carcinogen concentrations calculated by the model as well as the calculation for the Excess Cancer Risk were estimated by using worst case scenario assumptions.

PROHIBITORY RULES COMPLIANCE: Rule 401 Ringelmann Chart The proposed equipment is expected to comply with the Ringelmann No. 1 or 20% opacity requirement of this rule. Rule 402 Nuisance CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT The ISCST3 model was used to determine the ground level concentrations of PCE from the source in the ambient air (the maximum impact point). The maximum ground level impact is used to show the risk of cancer. Residential excess cancer risk numbers are based on 70 years exposure. Non-residential excess cancer risk numbers are based on 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, and 40 years/70 year lifetime. PCE emissions from soil vapor extraction have been identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) as a toxic air contaminant (TAC). Facilities emitting TACs are required by the District to meet Toxic Best Available Control Technology (T-BACT) requirements if the Maximum Excess Cancer Risk (MECR) exceeds 1.0 in a million. Additionally the Acute and Chronic Hazard Index, which takes into account non-cancer health risks, shall be less than one for the facility. The index is the ratio of the highest ground level concentration to the non-cancer chronic and acute reference exposure levels. Meteorological data averaged over a 5-year period will be used.
Authority to Construct Evaluation A/C App # Date Breathing Rate Factor (BRF) Explanation: A breathing rate factor adjustment is used in the risk calculations to account for changes in OEHHA breathing factors and receptor dosage slope equations. The OEHHA breathing guidance changes increase the unit risk factors by a maximum of 25%, so an adjustment factor of 1.25 is used to account for the change. The applicant supplied the following parameters used in the model run: Stack Height: 18 feet Stack Diameter: 4 inches Minimum Volumetric Flow Rate: 153.4 acfm Minimum Stack Gas Temperature: 80 F Nominal Emission Rate: 1.0 g/sec At the nominal emission rate, the maximum annual concentration outside of the applicant s parcel is. μg/m 3 on a residential property located approximately 94 feet Ne of the source UTM Northing m : 0, Easting: 100 and 1. μg/m 3 on a non-residential property located approximately 80 feet NE of the source (UTM Northing (m): 4282690, Easting: 656106). Summary of all the maximum concentrations for various receptors can be found in Appendix A Health Risk Assessment.
