CQMPLIANCE ORDER ON CONSENT <br />1e the Mauer of CEMEX, QVC. <br />AIRS # 013/0003 <br />15. Cemex is required to ensure that the haul roads in the area of the Plant's <br />handling/processing of cement kiln and raw material waste dust are adequately watered to <br />achieve a minimum control efficiency of 80%. During the inspections, no indication of watering <br />of the haul road into the Quarry's cement kiln dust ("CKD") disposal pit was observed, in <br />violation of Permit No. 950PB0082, Section II, condition 13.5.3. <br />16. Permit No. 950PB0082, Section II, condition 13.5.4 requires Cemex to ensure <br />that material at the Quarry's CKD disposal pit be compacted and stabilized to minimize <br />emissions. During the inspections, no evidence of compacting or stabilization of cement kiln <br />and other waste dust was observed at the disposal pit beyond the leveling of pit's brim. <br />17. Cemex is required to ensure that a sprinkler system is operated as necessary to <br />effectively control emissions at the Quarry's disposal area. During the March 26, 2003 <br />inspection, the sprinkler system was not in operation although the disposal pit contained very dry <br />and non-compacted material. During the May 2 and May 13, 2003 inspections, the sprinkler <br />system failed to apply water to the center of the Quary's disposal pit, where cement kiln dust <br />("CKD") was deposited. Thus, Cemex failed to operate the sprinkler system as necessary to <br />effectively control emissions in violation of Permit No. 950PB0082, Section II, condition <br />13.5.6. <br />18. Fermit No. 950PB0082, Section II, condition 16 requires Cemex to conduct a <br />daily walkthrough to look for visible emissions at the Plant (except at the Kiln and Clinker <br />Cooler). Cemex is required to document the observations and to ensure that the provisions of <br />the fugitive dust control plan, and any additional action, if necessary, are implemented when <br />excessive emissions are observed from the Plant's fugitive sources. Cemex recorded daily <br />walkthroughs, but failed to document and implement corrective action for the recurring <br />excessive emissions from the Plant's Outdoor Clinker Storage area noted by the inspectors. <br />Cemex has ageed that, beginning immediately, it shall document and record complaints and <br />violations observed by inspectors, contractors, citizens and employees, and shall implement and <br />document appropriate corrective actions. <br />19. Cemex is required to report any deviation from permit requirements, including <br />those attributable to upset conditions. Records indicate that Cemex failed to identify an upset <br />condition that occurred on April 1, 2002 in the August 2002 semi-annual deviation report, in <br />violation of Permit No. 950PB0082, Section N, conditions 21 and 22(d). Since then, Cemex <br />has filed the appropriate reports. <br />20. Meetings were held in December 2002, on March 1 1, June 18, July 22, September <br />9, September 25, October 22 and November 20, 2003, during which the Parties discussed the <br />above-related issues. <br />21, During June and July 2003, Mr. Carr conducted additional inspections at the <br />Plant. Based upon a review of these inspections and other records, the Division has made the <br />following additional compliance determinations. <br />22. On June 30, 2003, Mr. Carr documented the following six-minute average opacity <br />4 <br />
