    <text>Control of VOC Emissions from Sintering Plants.</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>A person who owns or operates a sintering plant subject to this regulation shall meet an emissions standard calculated on a daily average basis of 0.25 pound of VOC per ton of sinter produced.</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>Until May 1, 2002, a person who owns or operates a sintering plant subject to this regulation shall demonstrate compliance with §C(1) of this regulation by conducting stack tests during the months of June 2001 and December 2001 in accordance with a test protocol approved by the Department.</text>

    <paragraph num="(3)">
      <text>A person who owns or operates a sintering plant subject to this regulation shall:</text>
      <paragraph num="(a)">
        <text>By August 1, 2001, install a CEM system, including flow meters, approved by the Department to continuously measure VOC emissions and gas flow rates from each of the sintering plant scrubber stacks in order to calculate daily average VOC emissions;</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(b)">
        <text>By December 31, 2001, certify and operate the CEM system in accordance with COMAR 26.11.01.11;</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(c)">
        <text>Based on the certification results and other data generated by the CEM system, conduct a review of plant operations to enable compliance with the standard in §C(1) of this regulation to be achieved;</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(d)">
        <text>By March 1, 2002, perform sufficient analyses to determine the non-VOC content of the discharge from the scrubber stacks to establish a VOC correction factor to be used with CEM data to calculate daily VOC emissions from the scrubber stacks;</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(e)">
        <text>Beginning May 1, 2002, utilize the CEM system and other necessary data to demonstrate continuous compliance with §C(1) of this regulation; and</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(f)">
        <text>Beginning January 1, 2002, provide quarterly reports to the Department summarizing:</text>
        <paragraph num="(i)">
          <text>Daily average VOC emissions from the sinter plant stacks; and</text>
