This standard also identifies the requirements and provides direction for the implementation of
those requirements for activities that discharge criteria and toxic air pollutants, and addresses
asbestos, open burning, ozone depleting substances, and greenhouse gases.
The standard describes the processes for implementing WRPS environmental requirements for air
quality in a manner that:
Protects human health and the environment
Meets applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations, permits, and
compliance agreements and orders
Fulfills contractual obligations with DOE, and all DOE applicable DOE orders and
documents
Implements all applicable tenets of the WRPS Environmental Management System
(EMS) and the WRPS Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS)
Satisfies the compliance obligations element of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 14001, as directed by TFC-PLN-123
Addresses a major element, or significant aspect of the EMS.
This Standard does not apply to projects performed in accordance with the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). Those projects
are subject to Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements and Work Plans developed
under TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-18. Contact the assigned Environmental Field Representative for
additional guidance.

the use of the Requirements Mapping Database (RMD) Software. Environmental requirements
for the different emission units are documented in RPP 16922.
3.1 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP) (5.1.1, 5.1.2.a, 5.1.3.a, 5.1.4.a)
Hazardous air pollutants are pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other
health effects.
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 61, “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants” identifies and provides emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
emitted from stationary sources.
40 CFR 63, “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories,”
identifies and provides emission standards and the maximum achievable control technologies
(MACT) for HAP emitted from source categories. Of particular interest are 40 CFR 63, Subpart
A, “General Provisions,” and Subpart ZZZZ, “NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines.” The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) adopted the 40
CFR 63 regulations by reference in WAC 173-400-075. Of primary concern are the standards
that apply to stationary engines and asbestos. The stationary engine standards are described in
Section 3.1.1 and the asbestos standards are described in Section 3.6.
40 CFR 60, “Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources,” identifies general and
performance standards, monitoring and maintenance requirements for new stationary sources. Of
main importance are Subpart A, “General Provisions;” Subpart IIII, “Standards of Performance
for Stationary Compression Ignition internal Combustion Engines;” and Subpart JJJJ, “Standards
of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines.” Ecology adopted
the 40 CFR 60 regulations by reference in WAC 173-400-115.
40 CFR 52.21, “Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (PSD),” addresses
construction or major modifications of major stationary sources and provides pollutant and
emission rate standards. Due to the Waste Treatment Plant, the Hanford Site is considered to be a
major source; therefore, the major source requirements in the regulations are applicable. Ecology
adopted the 40 CFR 52.21 regulations by reference in WAC 173-400-720(4)(a).
3.1.1 Standards for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) (5.1.4.b, 5.1.16, 5.1.18.b, 5.1.18.d, 5.1.18.k)
The NESHAP standards for stationary RICE are addressed in 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
Stationary engines that are brought onto the Hanford Site are required to meet the applicable
requirements. The specific requirements for a particular engine, based on break horse power
(BHP), year, and fuel used, are identified by using the EPA web tool at the link below.
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/icengines/comply.html
See TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05 for implementation of permitting and notification requirements
for stationary RICE. The following records must be kept:
Maintenance conducted on the engine
Notification submitted to the regulatory agencies to comply with New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) requirements

Hours of operation, including for emergency engines, hours of operation for non-
emergency and emergency use
Other records as required by the 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ, for specific engines once
identified through use of EPA’s web tool discussed earlier in this Section.
3.1.1.1 Requirements for New or Reconstructed RICE ≤ 500 bhp
Stationary spark ignition (SI) engines with a site rating of ≤ 500 bhp (except new or reconstructed
4 stroke lean burn stationary RICE) are required to meet the SI NSPS described in Section 3.2.1.
New and reconstructed compression ignition (CI) engines with a site rating of ≤ 500 bhp must
meet the CI NSPS standards described in Section 3.2.1.
Additionally, new or reconstructed 4 stroke lean burn stationary engines with a site rating of
> 250 bhp and ≤ 500 brake HP are required to either reduce CO emissions by 93% or more, or
limit the concentration of formaldehyde in the stationary engine exhaust to 14 ppmvd or less, at
15% oxygen.
3.1.1.2 Requirements for Existing RICE ≤ 500 BHP and Non-Emergency RICE > 500 BHP
Existing RICE ≤ 500 bhp of all types (e.g., emergency, non-emergency, and limited use), and all
non-emergency RICE > 500 HP are required to meet the applicable fuel use, emissions
limitations, installation, startup, performance testing, operation, maintenance and work practices
(e.g., oil and filter change requirements), notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
Existing emergency RICE ≤ 500 bhp are to be operated according to the requirements in 40 CFR
63.6640(f) as described below in Section 3.1.1.3.
3.1.1.3 Requirements for Emergency and Limited Use RICE > 500 BHP
New and reconstructed emergency and limited RICE > 500 HP are only required to meet the
notification requirements of 40 CFR 63.6645.
Emergency RICE > 500 bhp are to be operated and maintained in a manner consistent with safety
and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions per 40 CFR 63.6605(b).
Existing, limited use RICE > 500 HP are not subject to 40 CFR 63 ZZZZ requirements.
Existing emergency RICE > 500 HP are not subject to additional requirements unless the engine
has a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder, uses diesel fuel, and operates or is
contractually obligated to be available for more than 15 hours per calendar year as specified in 40
CFR 63.6640(f). These engines are required to use fuel that meets the requirements in 40 CFR
80.510(b), except that any existing diesel fuel purchased (or otherwise obtained prior to January
1, 2015, may be used until depleted).
Emergency RICE are to be operated according to the requirements in 40 CFR 63.6640(f). There
is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary RICE in emergency situations. The
emergency stationary RICE may be operated for up to 100 hours per year for the purpose of
maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by Federal,
State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated
with the engines. The emergency RICE maybe operated up to 50 hours per year in non-

emergency situations, but those 50 hours per year are counted towards the 100 hours per year
provided for maintenance and testing.
3.2 Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (5.1.2.b, 5.1.2.c, 5.1.4.b, 5.1.20.d, 5.1.20.i)
The EPA has developed standards for the performance of control equipment utilized within the
industrial source categories. There are over 60 NSPS for various industry and equipment types
that are identified in the subparts to 40 CFR 60. The subparts typically require notification,
emission limitations, monitoring requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting
requirements. Of primary concern are the NSPS for stationary CI and SI ICE that are described
further in Section 3.2.1.
Ecology incorporates the NSPS in 40 CFR 60 by reference in WAC 173-400-115. There are
some exceptions listed in WAC 173-400-115(c).
3.2.1 Standards for Stationary Spark Ignition and Compression Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines (5.1.2.b, 5.1.2.c, 5.1.6)
The NSPS for stationary SI Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) (e.g., engine fueled by gasoline)
are found in 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ. The NSPS for stationary CI ICE (e.g., engines fueled by
diesel) are found in 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII. The specific requirements for a particular engine,
based on bhp, year, and fuel used, can be identified by using the EPA web tool for how to comply
at the link below:
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/icengines/comply.html
See TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05 for implementation of permitting and notification requirements
for stationary CI and SI ICE.
Stationary engines that are brought onto the Hanford Site are required to be manufactured after
the date identified in Attachment A for SI ICE, must meet the model year listed in Attachment B
for CI ICE, and both must be certified by the manufacturer to meet the applicable emission
standards, and be equipped with an hour meter.
Engine manufacturers must certify that their stationary SI or CI ICE meet emission standards
based on engine sizes and model year or date of manufacture. Only SI or CI ICE that have been
certified to meet the appropriate emission standards shall be used on the Hanford Site. Exceptions
may be made for engines that already exist on the Hanford Site with prior WRPS Environmental
Protection approval, provided that the performance testing and any additional requirements are
met.
Gasoline used in stationary SI ICE must meet the requirements of 40 CFR 80.195. The
requirements include a sulfur per gallon cap of 80 parts per million (ppm).
Stationary CI ICE with a displacement of less than 30 liters (L) per cylinder must use only diesel
fuel that has a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm and either a minimum cetane index of 40 or a
maximum aromatic content of 35 percent volume (40 CFR 80.510(b) for non-road diesel fuel).
Stationary CI ICE with a displacement of more than or equal to 30 L per cylinder must use only a
fuel that meets a maximum per-gallon sulfur content of 1,000 ppm.

In order for the engine to be considered a certified engine, the engine and control device must be
operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s emission related written
instructions. OR If the manufacturer’s instructions will not be followed, then a maintenance plan
and records must be kept to demonstrate compliance, and to the extent practicable, the engine is
to be maintained and operated consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing
emissions. In addition, performance testing may be required depending on the horsepower of the
engine.
Emergency CI ICE are to be operated according to the requirements in 40 CFR 60.4211(f) and
Emergency SI ICE are to be operated according to the requirements in 40 CFR 60.42439(d).
There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary CI or SI ICE in emergency situations.
The emergency stationary CI or SI ICE may be operated for up to 100 hours per year for the
purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by
Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company
associated with the engines. The emergency CI or SI ICE maybe operated up to 50 hours per year
in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours per year are counted towards the 100 hours per
year provided for maintenance and testing.
If a stationary CI ICE is equipped with a diesel particulate filter to comply with the emission
standards in § 60.4204, the diesel particulate filter must be installed with a backpressure monitor
that notifies the operator when the high backpressure limit of the engine is approached.
The following records must be kept:
Maintenance conducted on the engine
Manufacturer’s engine certification or verify that the engine has been certified. With the
engine family number from the engine plate, the emission certification information for
most engines can be found on the EPA web page at the link below:
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/certdata.htm
Notifications submitted to the regulatory agencies to comply with NSPS requirements
Hours of operation
Records of any corrective action taken after the backpressure monitor has indicated that
the high backpressure limit of the engine was approached
Other records as required by the NSPS for specific engines once identified through use of
EPA’s web tool discussed earlier in this Section.

3.3 State Regulations for Air Pollutant Sources and Controls (5.1.16, 5.1.18.e, 5.1.19.b, 5.1.20, 5.1.21, 5.1.22, 5.1.23)
The EPA has delegated enforcement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to Ecology. In addition to the
federal CAA the Washington State Clean Air Act described in Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) 70.94 was written to further protect humans and the environment from air pollution. The
CAA of Washington is stricter than the federal regulations. The state has also promulgated
administrative codes to implement RCW 70.94.
WAC 173-400, “General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources,” defines emission and
performance standards for both portable and stationary sources, identifies the permitting and
notification requirements, reporting requirements, fees and site inspection requirements. WAC
173-400 adopts 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ, “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustions Engines,” and 40 CFR 60, Subpart
IIII, “Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustions
Engines” and 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ, “Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition
Internal Combustions Engines.” WAC 173-400 also adopts 40 CFR 52.21, “Prevention of
Significant Deterioration of Air Quality” by reference, with some exceptions as identified in
WAC 173-400-720.
WAC 173 401, “Operating Permit Regulation,” establishes the elements of a comprehensive State
air operating permit program, outlining requirements for applications, emission standards, limits,
monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping.
WAC 173 460, “Controls for New Sources of Toxic Air Pollutants”, establishes emission limits
and controls for new toxic emissions sources to protect human health and the environment. If the
emissions from a source exceed the Acceptable Source Impact Levels (ASIL), WAC 173 460
requires a Tier II Health Impacts Assessment to evaluate the health impacts of the project.
WAC 173 455, “Air Quality Fee Rules,” as implemented through the Hanford Site Air Operating
Permit #00 05 006, addresses numerous air quality fees including air contaminant source
registration fees, control technology fees, New Source Review fees, and nonroad engine permit
fees.
The permitting requirements and implementation associated with these rules are addressed in
TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05 and the reporting requirements and implementation are addressed in
TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-10.
3.3.1 General Standards (5.1.20.c)
The following general requirements and emission standards as identified in WAC 173-400-040
apply to all WRPS sources and emission units.
1. Use reasonably available control technology.
2. Ensure that contaminants with more than 20% opacity are not released from any existing
source for more than 3 min/hr.

3. Ensure that no existing source emits particulate matter in a manner that allows the matter
to be deposited (fallout) beyond the Hanford Site boundary in sufficient quantity to
interfere unreasonably with the use and enjoyment of offsite property.
4. Take reasonable precautions to prevent air pollutant emissions resulting from fugitive
emissions (e.g., use best available control measures that are appropriate for the activity).
5. Minimize dust generation caused by construction, demolition, cleanup, or operation
related activities.
6. Reduce, to a reasonable minimum, any odors that unreasonably interfere with offsite
property use or enjoyment by using recognized good practices and procedures.
7. Ensure that no existing source emits any air pollutant that causes detriment to the health,
safety, or welfare of any offsite person or causes damage to offsite property or
businesses.
8. Ensure that no existing sources emit a gas containing sulfur dioxide from any emission
unit in excess of 1,000 ppm of sulfur dioxide on a dry basis, corrected to 7% oxygen for
combustion sources, and based on the average of any period of 60 consecutive minutes.
9. Do not conceal or mask air pollutants that would violate any federal, state, or local
regulation or standard.
3.3.2 Excess Non-Radioactive Airborne Emissions (5.1.20.g)
Excess emissions are emissions of an air pollutant in excess of any applicable emissions standard.
Excess emissions shall be reported to Ecology, or the authority, as soon as possible if they
represent a potential threat to human health or safety, and if the owner or operator believes them
to be unavoidable emissions. Other excess emissions shall be reported within thirty days after the
end of the month during which the event occurred, or as part of a routine emission monitoring
report (i.e., the AOP Semiannual Report). Ecology, or the Authority, may request submittal of a
full written report including known causes, corrective actions taken and preventive measures to
be taken to minimize or eliminate the chance of recurrence (WAC 173-400-107).
Unavoidable emissions are those due to startup or shutdown, maintenance, and upsets. The
emissions must be reported in a timely manner and the reported information must adequately
demonstrate the following criteria (WAC 173-400-109):
1. Excess emissions due to startup or shutdown:
The emissions could not have been prevented through careful planning and
design; startup or shutdown was done as expeditiously as practicable
All emission monitoring systems were kept in operation unless their shutdown
was necessary to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage
Emissions were minimized consistent with safety and good air pollution control
practice during the startup and shutdown period,

If a bypass of control equipment occurred, such bypass was necessary to prevent
loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage.
2. Excess emissions due to scheduled maintenance:
The emissions could not have been avoided through reasonable design, better
scheduling for maintenance, or through better operation and maintenance
practices.
3. Excess emissions due to upsets:
The event was not caused by poor or inadequate design, operation, maintenance,
or any other reasonably preventable condition
The event was not of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design,
operation, or maintenance
The operator took immediate and appropriate corrective action in a manner
consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing emissions
during the event, including slowing or shutting down the emission unit when the
operator knew or should have known that an emission standard or permit
condition was being exceeded
All emission monitoring systems were kept in operation to the extent possible
unless their shutdown was necessary to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or
severe property damage.
Unavoidable excess emissions are violations of the applicable requirement, as are all
excess emissions. They are subject to injunctive relief but are excused from penalty. The
permitting authority decides whether the excess emission were unavoidable. It is the
burden of the owner/operator to prove that the excess emissions were unavoidable.
3.3.3 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) (5.1.1, 5.1.20.j)
WAC 173-400-720 adopts portions of 40 CFR 52.21 by reference, with some exception as
identified in the regulation. The permitting requirements and processes associated with this rule
are addressed in TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05.
3.3.4 New Source Reviews and Permitting Processes (5.1.20.h, 5.1.16, 5.1.23)
The requirements and processes for evaluating air emissions and preparing the associated
documentation to establish or modify criteria and toxic air emissions sources are provided in
TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05. The topics addressed are New Source Reviews and criteria and
toxic Notice of Construction (NOC) applications, AOP modification forms, Ecology fee forms,
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Tier II Reviews, Nonroad engines Notice of Intent (NOI) to
operate, stationary engine permitting, General Air Quality permits/approvals, PSD permitting,
and closure processes for NOC applications and emission sources.

3.3.5 Air Operating Permit (AOP) (5.1.5, 5.1.13, 5.1.18.a, 5.1.19)
The DOE and Hanford Site Contractors fulfill the requirements of the Hanford Site Title V Air
Operating Permit (AOP) #00-05-006. The AOP was prepared and issued in accordance with the
applicable provisions of 40 CFR 70 and WAC 173-401. It was issued with Ecology as the lead
permitting authority; and contains the terms and conditions set forth by Ecology, Washington
Department of Health (WDOH), and the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) for operation of air
emission sources on the Hanford Site.
TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-08 establishes the requirements and processes for compliance with the
reporting and renewal requirements of the AOP. TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-05 implements
requirements and provides direction for the permitting aspects of evaluating, establishing,
modifying and closing sources of criteria and toxic air pollutants (TAP) in accordance with WAC
173-401 and WAC 173-400. (5.1.21.b)
DOE-RL and DOE-ORP have signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) that describes the
interfaces and authorities for their respective organizations with respect to management and
responsibility for site wide environmental permits, including the AOP. In accordance with the
MOA, DOE-RL is responsible for regulatory compliance and acts as signatory for regulatory
agreements.
For site-wide submittals requiring certification by a responsible official, DOE-ORP provides
appropriate management certification to DOE-RL for incorporation into the final transmittal
along with the DOE-RL management certification. Other submittals to regulatory agencies are
handled by DOE-RL or DOE-ORP, as appropriate, for air emission sources assigned to their
respective contractors.
Hanford Site contractors include all contractors responsible for operation of air emission sources
subject to the requirements of the AOP. Specific duties and responsibilities apply only to assigned
air emission sources and include:
Developing and implementing processes and procedures to effectively evaluate proposed
new/modified air emission sources (i.e., NSR) to determine required air permitting
documentation (e.g., NOC application, AOP modification request form, NSR exemption
notification, temporary/portable source notification, asbestos notification of intent [NOI],
etc.)
Preparing required air permitting documentation for submittal to regulatory agencies
Developing and implementing processes and procedures to maintain and demonstrate
compliance with applicable AOP requirements (monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping,
etc.)
Requesting sufficient funding from DOE each fiscal year to comply with applicable AOP
requirements
Preparing draft documentation in response in regulatory agency requests or enforcement
actions
Providing AOP Team with copies of all submitted NOCs and received approval orders

Providing AOP Team with data, information and management certifications necessary to
support preparation of required site-wide reports.
The AOP Team consist of Hanford Site contractor staff with the assigned responsibility to
coordinate and manage the overall site AOP program on behalf of DOE as explained in DOE/RL-
2001-25, latest revision, “Hanford Site Title V Operating Permit Program Plan.”
The Hanford Site AOP includes the following sections:
Standard Terms and Conditions (STGC)
Attachment 1 (Ecology Requirements)
Attachment 2 (Health Requirements)
Attachment 3 (BCAA Requirements).
Each section of the AOP was issued with an accompanying Statement of Basis that describes the
basis for requirements included in that section. The statement of basis is not an enforceable part
of the AOP, but provides insight into the thought processes and expectations of the regulatory
agencies with respect to specific permit terms and conditions. It includes references to the
applicable statutory or regulatory provisions, technical supporting information on specific
emission units, and clarifications of specific requirements.
3.3.6 Opacity (5.1.2.d, 5.1.2.e, 5.1.20.c, 5.1.21)
Attachment 1 of the AOP contains the WAC 173-400-040(2) general standard for opacity, which
prohibits visible emissions exceeding 20% opacity for more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour of an air
contaminant from any emissions unit or within a reasonable distance of the emissions unit except
for scheduled soot blowing/grate cleaning or due to documented water (e.g., steam). The term
“emissions unit” is defined in WAC 173-401-200 as, “any part or activity of a stationary source
that emits or has the potential to emit any regulated air pollutant or any pollutant listed under
section 112(b) of the CAA. This term is not meant to alter or affect the definition of the term
"unit" for purposes of Title V of the CAA.”
The general standard for opacity is applicable to each emissions unit operated by WRPS unless
another opacity requirement is specified in Attachment 1 of the AOP for a particular emissions
unit.
Visible emission surveys are needed to assess whether an emissions unit is meeting the applicable
opacity requirements. To determine the type and frequency of visible emission surveys required
for a particular emissions unit, consult the opacity condition in Attachment 1 of the AOP for the
particular emissions unit (for emissions unit with specific opacity requirements) or the periodic
monitoring provisions in Attachment 1 of the AOP (for all other emissions units). If the survey
type is not specified, use one of the following types as appropriate:
General Emission Check: Used to determine whether visible emissions are present
EPA Test Method 22: Used to determine the amount of time that visible emissions are present
EPA Test Method 9: Used to quantify the opacity of visible emissions
A general emission check consists of looking at the location where emissions would be present
and determining whether emissions are visible. It may be performed by anyone and will usually

be documented via a rounds procedure. A Method 22 survey must only be performed by an
individual trained and knowledgeable regarding the effects of environmental conditions on the
visibility of emissions. Method 22 surveys must be performed per Attachment C and documented
on Attachment D. A Method 9 survey must only be performed by an individual certified to use
this test method. Method 9 surveys must be performed per Attachment E and documented on
Attachments F and G. All visible emission surveys are to be conducted during daylight hours;
and after the unit has reached normal operating temperature and revolutions per minute, or 15
minutes after startup.
3.4 Ozone Depleting Substances Requirements (5.1.7.a, 5.1.7.b, 5.1.10, 5.1.11)
Title 40 CFR 82, “Protection of Stratospheric Ozone,” outlines the rules that address the
requirements set forth by the CAA Title VI. The EPA defines ozone depleting substance (ODS)
as any substance that is designated as either a Class I or Class II substance. A Class I substance
includes chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform and
has the highest ozone-depleting potential, where Class II substances include
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and deplete the ozone at a slower pace than Class I
substances. The complete list of Class I and Class II substances can be found in 40 CFR 82,
Subpart A, Appendix A and Appendix B, “Production and Consumption Controls.” Owners of
equipment meeting the definitions of appliances, commercial refrigeration equipment, or
industrial process equipment, and containing ODS shall comply with required practices specified
under 40 CFR 82, Subpart F, “Recycling and Emissions Reduction.”
DOE O 436.1, “Departmental Sustainability,” requires the development of a Site Sustainability
Plan (SSP) which identifies sustainability goals, including those for maximizing the use of safe
alternatives to ODS and phasing out the use of ODS. The SSP also requires an annual report
statusing the performance of its goals.
The Hanford Site AOP requires compliance with the labeling, procurement, maintenance, service,
disposal and recordkeeping standards relevant to stratospheric ozone protection under 40 CFR 82.
Owners of equipment meeting the definitions of appliances, commercial refrigeration equipment,
or industrial process equipment, and containing ozone-depleting substances shall comply with
required practices specified under 40 CFR 82, Subpart F. This is accomplished though
implementation of the Hanford Site ODS Program Plan.
3.4.1 Hanford Site ODS Program
The Hanford Site Ozone-Depleting Substances Program Plan (DOE/RL-2010-86, latest revision)
describes the programs and processes implemented on site to eliminate the acquisition, use and
release of ODS by maximizing the use of non-ODS containing alternatives and how the site
assures compliance with 40 CFR 82 requirements.
The Mission Support Contractor (MSC) is contracted with DOE to provide refrigerated
equipment services for the Hanford Site and manage the ODS Site Program. The scope of the site
program includes all ODS-containing equipment, including refrigeration appliances, MVACs and
fire suppression devices located on the Hanford Site. ODS generated or managed as part of
CERCLA regulated activities are included within the scope of the plan.
Site contractors responsible for buildings containing ODS equipment and/or appliances are
included in the site program and have specific duties and responsibilities to develop and

implement processes and procedures to maintain and demonstrate compliance with the regulatory
requirements set forth in the Hanford Site ODS Program Plan.
MSC Fleet Services provides servicing, maintenance and repair of motor vehicle air conditioners
(MVAC) for General Services Administration (GSA)-leased or DOE-owned vehicles. Servicing
of vehicles owned or leased by sub-contractors must be in accordance with an approved
Statement of Work.
MSC Refrigeration Equipment Services (MSC RES) provides maintenance, servicing and repair
for stationary heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, refrigeration equipment,
and MVAC-like appliances for non-radiological facilities. HVAC and Refrigeration Equipment
Services for radiological facilities may be performed in-house or sub-contracted as necessary.
Contractors that do not use the service of MSC RES must:
Ensure that the technicians are properly trained and certified, and are using certified
recycling or recovering equipment as described in the Hanford Site ODS Program Plan,
Section 5.0.
Contact MSC RES upon receipt of purchased refrigerant containing equipment, and
request that it be included in the Site equipment inventory.
Report leaks to MSC RES so that they may be reported to RL as required.
3.5 Asbestos (5.1.3.b)
Asbestos is regulated by NESHAP 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, “Asbestos NESHAP,” and EPA has
delegated authority to Ecology.
In accordance with the requirements of AOP Attachment 3, and to satisfy the underlying
regulations found in 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, Hanford Site contractors submit Notices of Intent
(NOI) to Ecology for any planned activities that involve demolition or asbestos renovation above
a specific limit. Hanford Site contractors submit NOIs for each individual project, as applicable,
unless the activity is included as part of the site-wide annual NOI. Hanford Site contractors
submit an NOI amendment when the estimated amount of disturbed regulated asbestos-containing
material (RACM) increases by 20 percent or more.
Asbestos requirements are identified and implemented through TFC-ESHQ-S_IH-C-52 and
TFC-ESHQ-ENV-STD-13.
3.6 Open Burning (5.1.9, 5.1.22)
The BCAA has been delegated by Ecology to regulate open burning on the Hanford Site.
Requirements, originally promulgated in WAC 173-425, are implemented through BCAA
Regulation 1, Article 5. Open burning in and around Tank Farms is conducted by the MSC and
the Hanford Fire Department (MSC-RD-EI-15332).
The following materials shall not be burned in any open fire (except for fire training when in
accordance with BCAA, Regulation 1):

Open burning shall be done between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 hour before sunset on preset
BCAA approved “burn days.” For those preset days, the BCAA will make a “burn” or “no-burn”
designation based on current monitoring and meteorological data. This designation and any
alternate makeup day information are provided daily on the published burn message telephone
line (509-783-6198) and/or through the following BCAA web link:
http://bentoncleanair.org/index.php/burning/burndecision/
No building, structure, or vessel shall be demolished by intentional burning, either for demolition
or for fire training, without written approval, in the form of a special burning permit, from the
BCAA. The Hanford Fire Department shall be contacted before burning for permission to burn
(based on meteorological conditions and site preparations). A burning permit application shall be
obtained from the Hanford Fire Department. The application shall be provided by designated
individuals to the BCAA at least 5 working days before the proposed activity. Application fees
will be billed directly to DOE RL by the BCAA.
Radioactive contaminated material shall not be disposed of via open burning.
3.7 Reporting and Notifications (5.1.8, 5.1.12, 5.1.13, 5.1.14, 5.1.15, 5.1.18.a, 5.1.18.f, 5.1.19.a)
Reporting and notification requirements are stipulated in their respective regulations and permit
approval orders. Notification requirements as response actions to specific activities are identified
in, and implemented through, TFC-ESHQ-ENV_FS-C-01. Reporting and notifications required
by NOC approval conditions are summarized in TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-10, Attachment A, and
are implemented either through TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-10 or TFC-ESHQ-ENV_FS-C-01.
Sitewide air emissions reporting requirements and coordination with the MSC are detailed in
TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-10, TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-08, and TFC-ESHQ-ENV_PP-C-13.
Activities should be initiated in a timeframe to support transmittal to the MSC to support
transmittal of the final report to DOE. Details for each report are provided below.
1. In accordance with the requirements of AOP STGC, Section 5.9, and to satisfy the
underlying regulation found in WAC 173-400-105, DOE submits the Hanford Site
Criteria and Toxic Air Emission Inventory Report to Ecology each year no later than 105
days after the end of the previous calendar year with information and data for the
previous calendar year. The primary purpose of the Criteria and Toxic Air Emission
Inventory Report is to document that emissions from Hanford Site operations do not

exceed applicable standards. The reported emissions are also used to establish the total
AOP fee assessed to DOE by Ecology.
2. In accordance with the requirements of AOP STGC Section 5.6, and to satisfy the
underlying regulation found in WAC 173-401-615, DOE submits semiannual AOP
reports to the regulatory agencies by September 15 (for January 1 through June 30
reporting period) and March 15 (for July 1 through December 31 reporting period) each
year. The primary purpose of the Semiannual AOP Report is to provide a status of
required air emissions monitoring on the Hanford Site.
3. In accordance with the requirements of AOP STGC Section 5.10, and to satisfy the
underlying regulation found in WAC 173-401-630, DOE submits an Annual AOP
Compliance Certification Report to the regulatory agencies each year by July 31 with
information and data for the previous calendar year. The Annual AOP Compliance
Certification Report documents the compliance status of AOP requirements for the
duration of the reporting period.
4. In accordance with the requirements of AOP STGC Section 5.17, and to satisfy the
underlying regulation found in WAC 173-441-050, DOE submits an Annual Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Report to the regulatory agencies each year by October 31 for emissions
in the previous calendar year. This report is submitted electronically. The Greenhouse
Gas Report provides information for separate but associated purposes; to collect accurate
and timely data to inform future federal policy decisions (40 CFR 98), and to establish a
base line and show status in meeting federal and state (WAC 173-441) reduction goals
for greenhouse gases.
Emission sources on the Hanford site are potentially subject to GHG reporting under
EPA, Ecology, and DOE-HQ GHG reporting programs contingent upon program
emissions limits.
In response to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, the EPA issued 74 FR
56260, “Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases,” on October 30, 2009, promulgating
40 CFR 98, “Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting.” Contractors on the Hanford site
that operate or maintain any of the source categories listed in 40 CFR 98, Subpart A, are
required to provide information necessary for reporting to the EPA GHG reporting
program. The MSC will periodically re-evaluate this program as circumstances or
information changes. The EPA GHG reporting program is based on calendar year
emissions.
Greenhouse gas reporting requirements are promulgated in 40 CFR 98, “Mandatory
Greenhouse Gas Reporting.” Contractors on the Hanford Site that operate or maintain
any sources listed in Subpart A of 40 CFR 98 are required to report to the EPA
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting program. The Hanford Site does not currently meet
the criteria to require reporting.
Currently, the Hanford site does not contain any of the source categories as listed in
Table A-3 or A-4 of 40 CFR 98, Subpart A. The Hanford site has municipal solid waste
landfills and electrical transmission/distribution equipment listed in Table A-3; however,
Table A-3 provides limitations (i.e., 25,000 metric tons CO2e or more emissions and
17,820 pounds of SF6, respectively), which are not exceeded. The Hanford site does not
have sources listed in Table A-4.

For facilities that do not contain any of the source categories as listed in Table A-3 or A-4
of 40 CFR 98, Subpart A, regulations still require reporting if the aggregate maximum
rated heat input capacity of the stationary fuel combustion sources at the site is 30mm
BTU/hr or greater, and the site emits 25,000 MT of CO2e or more per year in combined
emissions from all stationary fuel combustion sources. Currently, the Hanford site does
not meet these EPA reporting conditions. Accordingly, the site is not currently subject to
reporting GHG emissions to the EPA based on emission limits. Annually, updated
emissions calculations are performed to determine if the Hanford site has exceeded the
emission threshold from stationary fuel combustion sources. If EPA reporting is
required, the GHG report would be due no later than March 31 of each year for the
previous calendar year.
Washington State GHG reporting requirements are promulgated in WAC 173-441,
“Reporting of Emissions of Greenhouse Gases.” The site has three emission sources
from Table 120-1 that require reporting under the State program. This determination was
based upon CY 2010 emissions and is evaluated every year.
Based upon calendar year 2012 emissions, the Hanford site is subject to WAC 173-441,
“Reporting of Emissions of Greenhouse Gases” because the Hanford site contains three
emission sources from Table 120-1 in WAC 173-441-120 including: General Stationary
Fuel Combustion Sources, Electrical Transmission and Distribution Equipment, and
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. This applicability determination was based on an
evaluation of GHG emissions documented in DOE/RL-2012-54. The reporting threshold
for all applicable source categories listed in WAC 173-441-120 is 10,000 metric tons
CO2e or more per calendar year in total GHG emissions for the entire Hanford site. The
MSC Energy and Environmental Services (EES) will prepare and submit the annual
report with input from site contractors on behalf of the DOE and other contractors for the
Hanford site. The Ecology GHG reporting program is also based on calendar year
emissions.
DOE also requires its contractors through DOE O 436.1 and site sustainability plans to
measure, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from direct and indirect
activities. The MSC EES annually prepares GHG emissions report for the Hanford site
to DOE-HQ. With respect to the DOE-HQ GHG reporting program, the Hanford site has
established a fiscal year (FY) 2008 baseline and reported FY 2010 GHG emissions as the
initial reporting year. The DOE-HQ GHG reporting program is based on federal FY
(October 1 through September 30) emissions.
The MSC is responsible for evaluating on a Sitewide basis if reporting is required, and
preparing and submitting the annual report. Hanford site processes and procedures for
reporting were captured by the MSC in DOE/RL-2011-107, latest revision, “Greenhouse
Gas Reporting Program Plan,” DOE/RL-2012-54, latest revision, “Greenhouse Gas
Monitoring Plan.” The WRPS Air Reporting Subject Matter Expert is responsible for
transmitting the data required for reporting to the MSC in accordance with TFC-ESHQ-
ENV_PP-C-13.
3.8 Record Keeping (5.1.19, 5.1.21.a)
Record keeping requirements for the air compliance program are specified in WRPS procedures
which execute the specific task. TFC-ESHQ-ENV-STD-07 describes the types of regulatory
documents produced by WRPS Environmental Protection and Waste Services, which should be

managed as a record, per WRPS Administrative procedures. The standard is applicable to all
WRPS facilities. The identified records are used to demonstrate compliance with local, state, and
federal environmental regulations.
TFC-BSM-IRM_DC-C-04 describes the process for management of all environmental documents
and records that contain, or potentially contain Controlled Unclassified Information following
MSC-PRO-RM-184, “Information Protection and Clearance.”
3.9 Assessments
Environmental Protection organization will conduct management observations per procedure
TFC-ESHQ-AP-C-03 and conduct assessments, as stated in TFC-ESHQ-ENV-STD-09, of the air
program against the regulations and permits to ensure and continually improve compliance.
3.10 Records
The following records are generated during the performance of this procedure, when required by
this procedure:
Fugitive or Smoke Emission Inspection Outdoor Location
Figure 9-1 Record of Visual Determination of Opacity

--Unless otherwise stated, section references pertain to sections of 40 CFR 60 Appendix A-7--
Scope of Method 22 Survey: Determine the amount of time that visible emissions occur during the
observation period (Section 2.3)
Prerequisites:
Observer must be trained and knowledgeable regarding effects of background contrast, ambient
lighting, observer position relative to lighting, wind, and the presence of uncombined water on
the visibility of emissions (Section 2.3, met by completion of lecture portion of Method 9
certification course)
Timing devices must have unit divisions of at least 0.5 seconds (Section 6.1)
Observation point must enable a clear view of potential emission point(s) of affected facility
(Section 11.1)
Observation point should be at least 15 feet, but not more than 0.25 miles, from emission source
(Section 11.1)
Sunlight must not be shining directly in observer’s eyes (Section 11.1)
Procedure: (Sections 11.2.1 – 11.5)
1. Choose an observation point that meets all prerequisites above for the emission source.
2. From the observation point, fill out the pre-survey portions of the data sheet by recording the
company name, industry, process unit, observer’s name, observer’s affiliation, date, estimated
wind speed, wind direction, and sky condition.
3. Sketch the process unit being observed, including the observer location relative to the emission
unit and sun, and the potential and actual emission points.
4. Clear two timers and have them readily available for use.
5. Record the clock time.
6. Start the first timer and begin continuously watching the emission source.
7. If a visible emission is observed, start the second timer and note the clock time and reading on the
first timer.
8. When the visible emission stops, note the clock time, reading on both timers, and then reset the
second timer.
9. Continue this process until the second timer reading exceeds 10 minutes, or the first timer reading
exceeds 6 minutes and no visible emissions are present.
10. Record the clock time and reading on both timers. Complete the data sheet.

ATTACHMENT E – METHOD 9 VISIBLE EMISSION SURVEY OUTLINE
--Unless otherwise stated, section references pertain to sections of 40 CFR 60 Appendix A-4--
Scope of Method 9 Survey: Determine the opacity of emissions from stationary sources (Section
1.1)
Prerequisites:
Observer must be qualified in accordance with Section 3 (Section 2)
Observation point must provide a clear view of the emissions with the sun oriented in the 140°
sector to the observer’s back (Section 2.1)
The angle created by the line of sight of the observer and the line from the sun to the
observer must be at least 110° (Visible Emissions Field Manual EPA Methods 9 and 22
pg. 17)
As a general rule, if the total vertical angle is less than 60° and the horizontal angle is
above 130°, the resultant angle should be acceptable (Visible Emissions Field Manual
EPA Methods 9 and 22 pg. 17)
Observation point should create a line of vision that is approximately perpendicular to the plume
direction (Section 2.1)
Observation point should be at least three effective stack heights away from the plume (Visible
Emissions Field Manual EPA Methods 9 and 22 pg. 13)
Procedure: (Sections 2.2 – 2.5)
1. Choose an observation point that meets all prerequisites above for the emission source.
2. From the observation point, fill out the pre-survey portions of the data sheet by recording the
name of the plant, emission location, facility type, observer’s name and affiliation, sketch of the
observer’s position relative to the source, date, time, estimated distance to the emission location,
approximate wind direction, estimated wind speed, description of the sky condition (presence and
color of clouds), and plume background.
3. Identify the point in the plume with the greatest opacity where condensed water vapor is not
present, and document this point on the data sheet.
4. Begin observing the plume at the identified point momentarily for 15-second intervals.
5. For each observation, determine the opacity to the nearest 5%, and record it on the data sheet.
6. End the survey after at least 24 observations have been made.
Record the time, estimated distance to the emission location, approximate wind direction, estimated wind
speed, description of the sky condition (presence and color of clouds), and plume background on the data
sheet.
