c) Opacity Excursion on June 20, 2013
On Thursday, June 20, 2013, in preparation for repair of a center shaft hydraulic oil leak
on Multiple Hearth Furnace No. 1, Operations personnel decreased the furnace feed from
two centrifuges to one. During the transition, an opacity excursion was experienced. The
excursion was greater than 20 percent for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This exceeded the
District's Bay Area Air Quality Management District ( BAAQMD) Permit -to- Operate limit of
3 minutes of opacity greater than 20 percent in any clock -hour period. The excess
opacity was reported to BAAQMD on the same day. BAAQMD's Enforcement Division
will review the Excursion Report to determine if there is any enforcement action
necessary.
