(2) Hardwood veneer dryerProcess less than 30 volume percent softwood speciesMaintaining the volume percent softwood species processed below 30 percent AND keeping records of the volume percent softwood species processed.
(3) Softwood veneer dryerMinimize fugitive emissions from the dryer doors and the green endFollowing (and documenting that you are following) your plan for minimizing fugitive emissions.
(4) Veneer redryersProcess veneer with an inlet moisture content of less than or equal to 25 percent (by weight, dry basis)Maintaining the 24-hour block average inlet moisture content of the veneer processed at or below of less than or 25 percent AND keeping records of the inlet moisture content of the veneer processed.
(5) Group 1 miscellaneous coating operationsUse non-HAP coatings as defined in § 63.2292Continuing to use non-HAP coatings AND keeping records showing that you are using non-HAP coatings.
(6) Process units and control systems undergoing safety-related shutdown on and after August 13, 2021, except as noted in footnote “1” to this tableFollow documented site-specific procedures to ensure the flow of raw materials and fuel or process heat ceases and that material is removed from the process unit(s) as expeditiously as possible given the system design to reduce air emissionsKeeping records showing that you are following the work practice requirements during safety-related shutdowns.
(7) Pressurized refiners undergoing startup or shutdown on and after August 13, 2021, except as noted in footnote “1” to this tableRoute exhaust gases from the pressurized refiner to its dryer control system no later than 15 minutes after wood is fed to the pressurized refiner during startup. Stop wood flow into the pressurized refiner no more than 15 minutes after wood fiber and exhaust gases from the pressurized refiner stop being routed to the dryer during shutdown.Keeping records showing that you are following the work practice requirements during pressurized refiner startup and shutdown events.
