ii. Baseline Studies - The owner or operator of each gin shall ensure air flows
(air velocities) of the entire dust collection system,without cotton being
processed, are within the design range for each collection device. For 2D-2D
cyclones the air flow(air velocity) design range is 2700 to 3600 feet per
minute. For 1D-3D cyclones the design range is 2800 to 3600 feet per
minute. For other control devices the air flow design range is that found in
the manufacturer's specifications. The assurance of these air flows shall be
based on an initial baseline study conducted by the owner or operator and any
additional baseline studies conducted thereafter. During the initial and all
additional baseline studies,the owner or operator shall measure or determine
according to the methods specified in this Paragraph and record in a logbook:
A. the calculated inlet velocity for each control device; and
B. the pressure drop across each control device(this will be the static
pressure provided that the control device releases to the atmosphere).
The owner or operator shall use Method 1 and Method 2 of 40 CFR Part 60
Appendix A to measure flow(duct velocity) and static pressure and
determine inlet velocity or the USDA method for determining duct velocity
and static pressure in Agricultural Handbook Number 503, Cotton Ginners
Handbook. The Cotton Ginners Handbook method shall only be used where
test holes are located a minimum of eight and one-half pipe diameters
downstream and one and one-half diameters upstream from elbows, valves,
dampers, changes in duct diameter or any other flow disturbances. Where

Method 2 is used a standard pitot tube may be used in lieu of the s-pitot
specified in Method 2 subject to the conditions specified in Paragraph 2.1 of
Method 2.
iii. Monthly Static Pressure Checks and Corrective Action - On a monthly basis
following the initial baseline study or the new season flow range verification
measurements,the owner or operator shall measure and record in the logbook
the static pressure at each port where the static pressure was measured in the
baseline study.Measurements shall be made using a manometer, a
magnahelic gauge,or other device that the director has approved as being
equivalent to a manometer. If the owner or operator measures a change in
static pressure of 20 percent or more from the measured in the baseline study,
the owner or operator shall initiate corrective action. Corrective action shall
be recorded in the logbook. If corrective action will take more than 48 hours
to complete,the owner or operator shall notify the regional supervisor of the
region in which the ginning operation is located as soon as possible, but by
no later than the end of the day such static pressure is measured.
iv. Season Startup Flow Range Verification Measurement -No later than the
first week of operation of each new season,the facility shall perform air flow
verification measurements,without cotton being processed, and record all
results in a logbook. If the owner or operator measures a change in static
pressure of 20 percent or more from that measured in the baseline study, the
owner or operator shall initiate corrective action. Corrective action shall be
recorded in the logbook. If corrective action will take more than 48 hours to
complete, the owner or operator shall notify the regional supervisor of the
region in which the ginning operation is located as soon as possible,but by
no later than the end of the day such static pressure is measured. This
measurement will serve as the first monthly measurement of the new season.
V. New Baseline Studies - When any design changes to the dust control system
are made, the owner or operator shall conduct a new baseline study for that
portion of the system and shall record the new values in the logbook required
in Paragraph(f). Thereafter monthly static pressure readings for that portion
of the system shall be compared to the new values.
vi. Daily inspections for Structural Integrity - During the ginning season, the
owner or operator shall daily inspect for structural integrity of the control
devices and other emissions processing systems and shall ensure that the
control devices and emission processing systems conform to normal and
proper operation of the gin. If a problem is found, corrective action shall be
taken and recorded in the logbook required in Paragraph(f).
