### Open Burning Director Discretion. Proscribe Department's authority to approve moving material prior to open burning.

DEQ comments were submitted to EPA on 8/19/04. On August 24, 2006 (71 FR 49999), after approving other open burning rule submissions, EPA stated itwould nottake final action on changes to ARM 17.8.604(1)(a).

c. ARM 17.8.610(2)- Revise grammatical error.

a. Rules must be consistent with legislation on the same subject.
b. Absent further refinement ofthe rule to limit the Department's discretion, EPA proposes to disapprove the submission ofthe revision ofARM 17.8.604 into the SIP. MCA Cite: Title 75, Chapter 2- Air Quality ARM Cite: Title 17, Chapter 8, subch. 6 Initiated by BER

### MCA REASON: Sometimes burning wood waste on the premises where it is generated can produce unacceptable amounts ofsmoke that cause or contribute to
MAR Notice No. 17-_-5-

a violation ofthe National AmbientAir Quality Standards. This sort ofimpact can be avoided, for example, by removing tree debris following a severe wind storm in a city or moving piles ofwood waste from the center ofa town to a more remote location before burning. However, the current rule provides for case-by-case department decisions regarding the open burning ofwood waste when it is moved from its place oforigin. The proposed amendmentto ARM 17.8.604(1)(a) would specify the circumstances underwhich moving wood waste from the location where itwas generated and burning it may occur. The proposed amendment would require burners to comply with BestAvailable Control Technology when conducting such open burning. The 2003 Legislature amended 75-2-211, MCA, to eliminate an automatic stay ofthe department's decision to issue a permit upon a permit appeal. Pursuant to that amendment, a permit decision is stayed only following a petition and a finding thatthe person requesting the stay is entitled to the reliefdemanded in the request for hearing orthat continuation ofthe permitwould cause the petitioner great or irreparable injury. Further, the petitioner is liable for costs and damages to the permit applicant ifthe board ultimately finds the permitwas properly issued. The proposed amendments to ARM 17.8.612(10) and (11), 17.8.613(8) and (9), 17.8.614(8) and (9), and 17.8.615(6) and (7) reflect the Legislature's revision ofthe process for appealing air quality permits pursuant to 75-2-211, MCA. The proposed amendmentto ARM 17.8.610(2) corrects a grammatical error.

This sort of impact can be avoided, for example, by removing tree debris following a severe wind storm in a city or moving piles ofwood waste from the center ofa town to a more remote location before burning. However, the current rule provides for case-by-case department decisions regarding the open burning ofwood waste when it is moved from its place oforigin. The proposed amendmentto ARM 17.8.604(1)(a) would specify the circumstances underwhich moving wood waste from the location where it was generated and burning it may occur. The proposed amendment would require burners to comply with Best Available Control Technology when conducting such open burning. The 2003 Legislature amended 75-2-211, MCA, to eliminate an automatic stay ofthe department's decision to issue a permit upon a permit appeal. Pursuant to that amendment, a permit decision is stayed only following a petition and a finding that the person requesting the stay is entitled to the relief demanded in the request for hearing orthat continuation ofthe permit would cause the petitioner great or irreparable injury. Further, the petitioner is liable for costs and damages to the permit applicant ifthe board ultimately finds the permit was properly issued. The proposed amendments to ARM 17.8.612(10) and (11), 17.8.613(8) and (9), 17.8.614(8) and (9), and 17.8.615(6) and (7) reflect the Legislature's revision ofthe process for appealing air quality permits pursuant to 75-2-211, MCA. The proposed amendment to ARM 17.8.610(2) corrects a grammatical error. 4. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments, either orally or in writing, at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, P.O.

To be guaranteed consideration, mailed comments must be postmarked on or before that date.
5. Katherine Orr, attorney for the board, or another attorney for the Agency Legal Services Bureau, has been designated to preside over and conduct the hearing.
6. The board maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this agency.

### BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Hearing Testimony- January 13, 2011 Open burning rules



### Thankyou, Katherine. My 

### name is Debra Wolfe and I work in the Air Resources Management Bureau ofthe Department of Environmental Quality. I'm here today to represent the department regarding the Board's action on the proposed revisions to the open burning rules.
In 2002 the Board amended 17.8.604to provide an exception to the general prohibition in orderto allow wood waste
- generated in areas where burning would be unwise- to be moved to areas where the burning could take place under conditions applicable to other open burning.
The Board originally revised the rule as a response to situations that occurwhen a city experiences a heavy snowfall orsevere windstorm, causing tree limbs to break and fall tothe ground. Ifother disposal methods are unavailable or not feasible, the Board feltthat in-situ open burning would unacceptably increase particulate concentrations in populated areas and that it would be more appropriate to move fallen tree limbs downwind and awayfrom town before open burning.
The rule was submitted to EPAfor inclusion into the State Implementation Plan in 2003. In 2004, EPA proposed to disapprove the amended provision. EPA has notfinalized the proposed disapproval, but has more recently indicated in discussion an inclination to approve ifthe rule was changed in some way to set forth conditions precedentto approval forthis kind ofopen burning.
The Departmentsupports the Board's suggested revisions which provide appropriate conditions for those seeking approval to move and burn wood waste material. The revisions ensure "waste" that is moved from the premises where it is generated is still prohibited material and may not be burned unless it is conducted pursuantto a landfill or conditional open burning permit. The revisions also ensure the movement and burning is only an option for wood that is not already described as prohibited. The proposed revisions ensure other methods ofdisposal are considered. Finally, the proposal clearly requires the open burning to comply with BACTfor open burning.
The Board is proposing revisions to 17.8.604, 612, 613, 614, and 615 to make the rules consistent with 75-2-211(11), MCAwhich removed an automatic stay of permit approval during the process for appealing air quality permits. The legislation was enacted in response to a proposal involving the needs of persons submitting application for Montana Air Quality Permits. The legislature removed the automatic stay to allow commencement ofconstruction ofa proposed source

# P/1~·/t SUBJECT: House Bill 521 and House Bill 311 review for Amendment of Open Burning Rules

DATE: ARM Notice No. 17-311 January 20, 2011
HB 521 REVIEW (Comparing Stringency of State and Local Rules to Any Comparable Federal Regulations or Guidelines)
Sections 75-2-111 and 207, MCA, codify the air quality provisions of House Bill 521, from the 1995 legislative session, by requiring the Board of Environmental Review to make certain written findings after a public hearing and public comment, prior to adopting a rule to implement the Clean Air Act of Montana that is more stringent than a comparable federal regulation or guideline.
In this proceeding, the Board is proposing to: Amend ARM 17

.. 8. 604 to specify circumstances under which wood waste may be moved from the premises where it was generated and then disposed of through open burning;
Amend ARM 17.8.604(5) editorial revisions; and

None of the proposed amendments would make the state rules more stringent than comparable federal regulations or guidelines. There are no federal air quality open burning regulations or guidelines under the federal Clean Air Act. The only federal regulations or

HB 311 REVIEW (Assessing Impact On Private Property) Sections 2-10-101 through 105, MCA, codify House Bill 311, the Private Property Assessment Act, from the 1995 legislative session, by requiring that, prior to taking an action that has taking or damaging implications for private real property, a state agency must prepare a taking or damaging impact assessment. Under Section 2-10-103 (1), MCA, "action with taking or damaging implications" means:

a proposed state agency administrative rule, policy, or permit condition or denial pertaining to land or water management or to some other environmental matter that if adopted and enforced would constitute a deprivation of private property in violation of the United States or Montana constitution. Section 2-10-104, MCA, requires develop guidelines, including a determining whether an agency implications. the Montana Attorney General to checklist, to assist agencies in action has taking or damaging

The present proposed action involves rules affecting use of private real property, and the Board has discretion legally not to take the action. I've completed an Attorney General's Private Property Assessment Act Checklist, which is attached to this memo. The proposed rule amendments would not: 

### * result in either a permanent or indefinite physical occupation of private property; 

### * deprive any owner of all economically viable uses of private property; 

### * deny a fundamental attribute of private property ownership; 

## * require a private property owner to dedicate a portion of property or grant an easement;

AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-204, MCA IMP: 75-2-211, MCA
REASON: The proposed revision to ARM 17.8.763 would provide a process for notice by publication ofthe department's intentto revoke a Montana Air Quality Permit issued underTitle 17, chapter 8, subchapter 7 when an owner or operator cannot be found for service by certified mail. One ofthe common reasons for revocation is failure to pay annual operating fees, and there have been instances when the department has not been able to revoke a permitforfailure to pay fees because the emission source was no longer operating and the owner oroperator no longerwas atthe site and could not be found for mail delivery. Revoking the permit

benefits the owner or operator because annual operating fees do not then continue to accrue. The**propos~d** 

### amendment also is necessary to allow the departmentto avoid expending resources preparing and mailing annual operating fee notices for the emission source. Notice by publication is acceptable in other contexts such as the Montana Rules ofCivil Procedure.

Public Hearings BrianSchweitzer,Governor (406) 444-2544 www.deq.mt.gov

On January 13, 2011, at 1:30 p.m., the Board of Environmental Review will hold a public hearing in Room 111, Metcalf Building, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana, to consider the amendment ofARM 17.8.763 pertainingto revocation of permit.
The Board is considering providing a process for notice by publication ofthe department's intentto revoke a Montana Air Quality Permit issued underTitle 17, chapter 8, subchapter7 when an owneror operatorcannot be found for service by certified mail.

On January 13, 2011, at 2:00p.m., or upon the conclusion ofthe public hearingfor MAR Notice No. 17- 310, the Board of Environmental Review will hold a public hearing in Room 111, Metcalf Building, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Helena Montana, to consider the proposed amendmentofARM 17.8.604, 17.8.610, 17.8.612, 17.8.613,17.8.614, and 17.8.615 pertainingto open burning.
The Board is considering the circumstances underwhich movingwood waste from the location where it
was generated may be disposed of by open burning. The Board is also proposingto make open burning permits consistent with 75-2-211, MCA which eliminates an automatic stay ofthe department's decision to issue a permit upon a permit appeal.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
In the matterofthe amendment ofARM ) 17.8.763 pertaining to revocation of )**~~~** 

## ) )
TO: All Concerned Persons NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT (AIR QUALITY)

1. On January 13, 2011, at 1:30 p.m., the Board of Environmental Review will hold a public hearing in Room 111, Metcalf Building, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana, to considerthe proposed amendment ofthe above-stated rule.
2. The board will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this public hearing or need an alternative accessible**fo~at** ofthis notice. Ifyou require an accommodation, contact Elois Johnson, Paralegal, no laterthan 5:00 p.m., January 3, 2011, to advise us ofthe nature ofthe accommodation thatyou need. Please contact Elois Johnson at Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 200901, Helena, Montana 59620- 0901; phone (406) 444-2630; fax (406) 444-4386; ore-mail ejohnson@mt.gov.
3. The rule proposed to be amended provides as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
17.8.763 REVOCATION OF P.ERMIT (1) and (2) remain the same. (3) When the department has attempted unsuccessfully by certified mail. return receipt requested. to deliver a notice of intentto revoke a permit to a permittee atthe last address provided by the permittee to the department. the permittee is deemed to have received the notice on the date that the department publishes the last ofthree notices of revocation. once each week for three consecutive weeks. in a newspaper published in the county in which the permitted facility was located. if a newspaper is published in the county or if no newspaper is published in the county in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county. (3) and (4) remain the same, but are renumbered (4) and (5).
AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-204, MCA IMP: 75-2-211, MCA
REASON: The proposed revision to ARM 17.8.763would provide a process for notice by publication ofthe department's intent to revoke a Montana Air Quality Permit issued underTitle 17, chapter 8, subchapter 7 when an owner or operator cannot be found for service by certified mail. One ofthe common reasons for revocation is failure to pay annual operating fees, and there have been instances when the department has not been able to revoke a**pe~it** forfailure to payfees because the emission source was no longer operating and the owner or operator no longerwas atthe site and could not be found for mail delivery. Revoking the permit
24-12/23/10 MAR Notice No. 17-310-2879-

benefits the owner or operator because annual operating fees do notthen continue to accrue. The proposed amendment also is necessary to allow the departmentto avoid expending resources preparing and mailing annual operating fee notices for the emission source. Notice by publication is acceptable in other contexts such as the Montana Rules ofCivil Procedure.
4. Concerned persons may submittheir data, views, or arguments, either orally or in writing, atthe hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520

5. Katherine Orr, attorney for the board, oranother attorney forthe Agency Legal Services Bureau, has been designated to preside over and conductthe hearing.
6. The board maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this agency.

### BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Hearing Testimony- January 13, 2011 Revocation rule



### Thankyou, Madam. Forthe record, my name is Debra Wolfe and I work in the Air Resources Management Bureau. I'm here today to represent the Department regarding the proposed revision to the Montana Air Quality Permit rules.
The proposed revision to ARM 17.8.763would setforth a process for notice by publication regarding the Department's intentto revoke a permitfor a source regulated underTitle 17, Chapter 8, subchapter 7. The current rule fails to set forth a method ofalternative service in the event an owner or operator cannot be found for regular mail delivery.
The Departmentfeels including the provision would help close the loop in situationswhere an owner or operator is delinquent in itsfee payment and the Department is obligated to pursue them, even though the owner oroperator leaves noforwarding address orother information. Chasing down a cold trail and maintaining administrative records for an inactive source takes resources the Department can 

### ill afford. The publication of an intentto revoke a permitwill provide any owner or operator sufficienttime to haltthe process and remedythe situation.
The Department supports the Board's proposed amendments to the rule and requests the Board adoptthe amendments as proposed in the notice published December 23, 2010.

### 1 As required by ARM 1.3.311 of the Secretary 2 of State's Model Rules, which have been adopted by the 3 Board and Department, I am required to summarize the 4 major provisions of the Hearing Notice. The proposed 5 revision to ARM 17.8.763 would provide a process for 6 notice by publication of the Department's intent to 7 revoke a Montana air quality permit. These are under 8 Title 17, Chapter 32, Subchapter 7, when an owner or 9 operator cannot be found for service by certified mail. 10 Paragraph 3 of the Hearing Notice sets forth 11 the proposed amendments in their entirety and the legal 12 authority and rationale for those amendments. 13 Paragraph 4 of the Hearing Notice indicates 6



### 14 that interested persons may submit their data, views or 15 arguments either orally or in writing at this hearing. 16 The Notice indicates that individuals may submit written 17 data, views or arguments to the Board no later than 5:00 18 PM on January 20, 2011.

### Department's representative, Debra Wolfe, to begin with

an explanation of the proposed amendments and the reason for adopting them. And it does not appear that there is
anyone here other than the Department Representative, so I will just start with her. It looks like there is no one else who wishes
to testify, so it looks like we'll hear from the Department unless anyone else does wish to testify. Here for the Department is Deb Wolfe. MS. WOLFE: Thank you, Madam Presider. For the record, my name is Debra Wolfe and I work in the Air Resources Management Bureau. I'm here today to represent the Department regarding the proposed revision to the Montana Air Quality Permit rules. The proposed revision to ARM 17.8.763 would
set forth a process for notice by publication regarding the Department's intent to revoke a permit for a source regulated under Title 17, Chapter 8, Subchapter 7. The
current rule fails to set forth a method of alternative service in the event an owner or operator cannot be found for regular mail delivery. The Department feels that including the provision would help close the loop in situations where

an owner or operator is delinquent in its fee payment and the Department is obligated to pursue them, even

### 1 though the owner or operator leaves no forwarding 2 address or other information. Chasing down a cold trail 3 and maintaining administrative records for an inactive 4 source takes resources the Department can ill afford. 5 The publication of an intent to revoke a permit will 6 provide any owner or operator sufficient time to halt 7 the process and remedy the situation. 8 The Department supports the Board's proposed 9 amendments to the rule and requests the Board adopt the 10 amendments as proposed in the notice published December 11 23, 2010. 12 13 Thank you. MS. ORR: Thank you. And at this time, I'm 14 going to go ahead and adjourn the hearing. 15 (Whereupon, the taking of the hearing was concluded at
16 1: 4 7 PM.)

Again, I'll reiterate for the record that my name is Debra Wolfe, and I work in the Air Resources Management Bureau, and I'm representing the Department today regarding action on the proposed revisions to the Montana air quality rules. The proposed revision to ARM 17.8.763 would set forth a process for notice by publication regarding the Department's intent to revoke a permit for a source regulated underTitle 17, Chapter 8, Subchapter 7. The current rule fails to set forth a method ofalternative service in the event an owner or operator cannot be found for regular mail delivery. The Department feels including a provision to help close the loop in a situation where an owner or operator is delinquent in its fee payment, and the Department is then obligated to pursue them even though the owner or operator leaves no forwarding address or other information.**"~** " .- '•>:.

(3) When the department has attempted unsuccessfully by certified mail, return receipt requested, to deliver a notice of intentto. revoke a permit to a permittee at the last address provided by the permittee to the department, the permittee is deemed to have received the notice on the date that the department publishes the last ofthree notices of revocation, once each week for three consecutive weeks, in a newspaper published in the county in which the permitted facility was located, ifa newspaper is published in the county or if no newspaper is published in the county in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county.
