follows: 

(gggg) "Pollution Control Proiect" (PCP) means an environmentally beneficial activity, set of 

work practices or proiect undertaken at an existing emissions unit that reduces 

emissions of air pollutants from such unit as listed below. Such qualifying activities 

or proiects can include the replacement or upgrade of an existing emissions control 

technology with a more effective unit. Other changes that may occur at the source 

are not considered part of the PCP if they are not necessary to reduce emissions 

through the PCP. The replacement or reconstruction of an entire existing emissions 

unit with a newer or different one does not qualify as a PCP . Projects listed in 

subparagraphs (gggg)1 . through 8 . of this subparagraph are presumed to be 

environmentally beneficial and qualify as a PCP . The Director has the authority to 

rebut the presumption that prolects listed in subparagraphs (qqqq)l . through 8 . are 

environmentally beneficial if the Division determines that a particular proposed PCP 

proiect would be improperly applied or site-specific factors indicate that the proiect's 

application would not be environmentally beneficial . 

1 . Conventional or advanced flue gas desulfurization or sorbent iniection for 

control of sulfur dioxide (S02) or Hazardous Air Pollutants . 
2. Electrostatic preci pitators, ba houses hi g h-efficiency multiclones or scrubbers

3. Flue gas recirculation low-NOX burners or combustors selective non catalytic 

reduction, selective catalytic reduction low emission combustion (for IC engines), and oxidation/absorption catalyst for control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) except those that increase the fuel burning capacity of the emissions unit 

by more than two percent or 2.0 MMBtu/hr, whichever is less . 

4. Regenerative thermal oxidizers catalytic oxidizers condensers thermal 

incinerators, hydrocarbon combustion flares biofiltration absorbers and 

adsorbers, and floating roofs for storage vessels for control of volatile organic 

compounds or hazardous air pollutants For the purpose of this section 

"hydrocarbon combustion flare" means either a flare used to comply with an 

applicable New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) or Maximum Available 

Control Technology (MACT) standard (including uses of flares during startup 

shutdown, or malfunction permitted under such a standard) or a flare that 

serves to control emissions of waste streams comprised predominately of 

hydrocarbons and containing no more than 230 mg/dscm hydrogen sulfide 

Regenerative thermal oxidizers catalytic oxidizers or thermal incinerators that 

control gases containing sulfur bearing compounds and which result in an 

emissions increase of sulfur dioxide of greater than 10 tons-per-year or sulfuric 

acid mist of greater than 2 tons-per-year must be equipped with a control 

device that has a control efficiency for sulfur bearing compounds of at least 

nmety percent. 

5. Activities or proiects undertaken to accommodate switching (or partially 

switching) to an inherently less polluting fuel to be limited to the following fuel 

switches : 

Switching from a heavier grade of fuel oil to a lighter fuel oil or any grade

higher sulfur content fuel oil or diesel fuel to a lower sulfur content fuel oil 

or diesel fuel ; 

(ii) Switching from coal oil or any solid fuel to natural gas propane or 

gasified coal; 

(iii) Switching from coal to wood excluding construction or demolition waste 

chemical or pesticide treated wood and other forms of "unclean" wood ;

sulfur content) . 

6 . Activities or proiects undertaken to accommodate switching from the use of one 

ozone depleting substance (ODS) to the use of a substance with a lower or 

zero ozone depletion potential (ODP ) including changes to equipment needed 

to accommodate the activity or proiect that meet the requirements of 

paragraphs (qqqq)6 .(i) through (iii) of this subparaqraph. 
(i) The productive capacity of the equipment is not increased as a result of 

! the activitv_ or proiect . 

(ii) The proiected usage of the new substance is lower, on an ODP-weighted 

basis than the baseline usage of the replaced ODS. To make th i s 

determination follow the procedure in subparagraphs (gggg)6.(ii )(I) 

through (IV) of this subparagraph. 

_(I) Determine the ODP of the substances by consulting 40 CFR Part 82, 

Subpart A Appendices A and B. 

(II) Calculate the replaced ODP-weighted amount by multiplying the 

baseline actual usage (using the annualized average of any 24 

consecutive months of usage within the past 10 years) by the ODP of the 

replaced ODS. 

(III)Calculate the proiected ODP-weighted amount by multiplying the 

proiected actual usage of the new substance by its ODP. 

(IV)If the value calculated in paragraph (gggg)6 (ii)(II) of this sectio n is 

more than the value calculated in paragraph (gggg)6 (ii)(III) of this 

section then the proiected use of the new substance is lower, on an 

ODP-weiqhted basis than the baseline usage of the replaced ODS. 

_(iii) The activity or project undertaken does not involve switching from a nonVOC ODS to a VOC substance or from a non-HAP ODS to a HAP 

substance . 

7 The combustion of total reduced sulfur compounds or hazardous air pollutants 

in a lime kiln or recovery furnace.

submitted in a format acceptable to the Division and shall include such 

other information as the Division has requested . If test results are not 

received by the Division within the 30 days, the Division may reject the 

results and require the test to be rescheduled unless a later submittal 

date has been approved in writing . A written report must be submitted for 

each test performed. 

(10) Notification of the cancellation of a test shall occur no less than 24 hours 

prior to the scheduled certification or compliance test starting time unless 

approved by the Division . Sending a cancellation notice by facsimile 

alone is not considered a cancellation . A representative of the gasoline 

dispensing facility must contact the Mobile & Area Source Program by 

telephone or in person and verify that the cancellation notice was 

received . 
(11) The amount of ullage space in the underground storage tanks shall be 

determined by physically measuring the amount of gasoline inside the 

tanks in inches using a measuring stick, tape measure, or other device 

that is long enough to reach the bottom of the tank . 

(12) Written reports submitted to the Division must include a description of any 

repairs that were necessary to allow the Stage I and/or Stage II vapor 

recovery system to pass the certification, recertification or compliance 

test . Initial failure results must also be included in the written reports. All 

repairs required must be completed and the Stage I and/or Stage II vapor 

recovery system re-tested within thirty (30) calendar days . 

2 .115.3 Test Methods 

The following test methods shall be used in conducting Stage 1 and/or Stage II 

vapor recovery system certification, recertification or compliance tests, except as 

otherwise provided by specific California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive 

Orders, unless prior written approval is given by the Division of any alternative 

test procedures, including the procedures of 2 .115.4 :

2.115.4 Alternative Stage II Test Procedures 

The following alternative Stage II test procedure may be used in lieu of the 

required method(s) of 2 .115.3 upon written approval by the Division. This 

alternative test procedure may not be used when initial certification or 

recertification is required . 

(1) Prerequisites to using the alternative test procedure include : 

a . Satisfactory completion of a certification test at system installation 

(or a recertification test following a major system modification or 

replacement) ; and 

b. Satisfactory completion of any subsequent annual compliance test 

without system repairs . (Note : System repairs are required, as 

needed, and are not prohibited under this alternative . However, 

any repairs completed on the day of the test or within the two 

weeks preceding the test call into question the overall 

maintenance of the system .) Also, no pressurization of any part of 

the vapor recovery system is allowed for the expressed purpose of 

finding leaks or compliance testing within the six months prior to 

the annual compliance test. A notarized certification statement 

will be required from the system owner and contractor verifying the 

no repair and no pre-test conditions have been met; and 

c . Written approval from the Division . In order to receive Division 

approval to implement the alternative test procedure, the facility 

must submit : a). a formal letter of request; and b) . documentation 

that the certification and annual test have been satisfactorily 

completed, including a copy of the actual test reports, with 

notarized statements from the system owner and contractor that 

the tests were passed without repair . 

Once the above prerequisites have been met, the alternative test 

procedure can be instituted in lieu of annual testing until system 

recertification is required . Recertification, as noted in 2.115.2(3), 

is currently required once every five (5) years after the original 

certification date or upon major system modification or 

replacement, whichever occurs first . The Division reserves the 

right to suspend use of the Alternative Test Procedure for cause. 

(2) Alternative Test Procedure 

The Alternative Test Procedure will require all of the following, including 

proper documentation of the inspections and any necessary repairs : 

a . Daily Inspections 

Each of the following shall be examined for leaks and tears: 

1 . Nozzles 

2. Nozzle boots and face plates, if applicable 

3. Hoses 

4. Breakaways 
b. Inspections After Each Gasoline Drop 

1 . Determine whether the O-ring seal between fill adaptor and 

drop tube is broken, deformed, or leaking. 

2. Determine whether the fill adaptor is secure or broken . 

3. Determine whether the seal on the poppet valve for vapor 

return is seating properly and if the seal is in good 

condition . 

4. Determine whether the vapor return adaptor is secure or 

broken . 

5. Determine whether the vapor return and fill caps are in 

good condition and properly seated with the seals intact . 

c. Yearly Inspection 

1 . Open all dispensers and check for liquid and vapor leaks. 

Thoroughly check all joints and connections . Describe 

method used for checking leaks such as spraying soapy 

water on piping and connections while dispenser is 

activated . For vacuum assist systems, make sure that all 

vacuum pumps are working. Describe method used to 

determine that pumps are operational such as making sure 

the correct voltage is going through the pump or listening 

for audible sounds that indicates the pump is working . 

2. Check pressure/vacuum vent valves and connections for 

leaks . Describe method used to check for leaks such as 

spraying the valve with soapy water or covering the valve 

and connection with a bag when the system is under a 

slight pressure. If vapors are found to be escaping, ensure 

that the pressure/vacuum vent valve(s) are functioning 

properly . 

3. Check drain valve, if applicable, fill adaptor, and vapor 

return adaptor for leaks. Describe method used for 

checking leaks such as filling containment bucket with 

water and checking for bubbles . 

4. Check o-ring between submerged fill pipe and tank riser. 

Make sure that it is not damaged . If it is, replace it . 

5. All inspection records shall be kept on site for no less than 

two years . A written report of the Yearly Inspection must 

be submitted to the Division within 30 days after

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION 

RELATING TO AIR QUALITY, CHAPTER 391-3-1 

Rule 391-3-1- .01, subparagraph (nnnn), relating to "Definitions," is being amended. 

Purpose: The definition of the Procedures For Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air 

Pollutants (PTM) is being amended to include the most recent revision of the PTM. 

Procedures are being amended to correct typographical errors, clarify monitoring 

procedures, update US EPA approved emission factors, and add procedures to 

calculate and report emissions . 

Main Features: The reference date for the Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air 

Pollutants is being updated to the most recent revision, January 1, 2006. Section 

2.119 is amended by correcting typographical errors and including monitoring 

procedures for affected units less than 100 MMBTU per hour of heat input capacity. 

Appendix H is updated in its entirety to include the latest U .S. EPA approved 

emission factors . Appendix I is added to clarify the procedures used in calculating 

and reporting emissions consistent with the U.S. EPA policy. 

® Rule 391-3-1- .01, Definitions, is being amended by adding new subparagraph (qqqq). 

Purpose: The purpose for adding subparagraph (qqqq) is to add the definition of "pollution 

control project" (abbreviated as "PCP") to the definitions . 

Main Features: Pollution Control Projects will be exempt from the requirement to obtain an air quality 

permit to construct . The proposed definition includes a list of projects which are 

presumed to qualify as a PCP. 

Rule 391-3-1- .02, paragraph (2) thereof relating to "Emission Limitations and Standards," is being 

amended by striking subparagraph (nnn) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a 

new subparagraph (nnn) . 

Purpose : The purpose for amending Rule 391-3-1- .02(2)(nnn) is to remove an emission 

limitation that does not and will not apply to any sources and to clarify the process for 

revising the rule. 

Main Features : Subpargraph 1 .(iii) of Rule (nnn) that establishes a NOx limit for large gas turbines 

permitted prior to April 1, 2000, that are located "at a stationary source with no 

natural gas" is removed from the rule. There are no longer any stationary sources 

that are subject to this limitation and since the provision only applies to large gas 

turbines permitted before April 1, 2000, no future, new or modified gas turbines will 

be subject to this rule. This limitation is being removed to avoid confusion for existing 

gas turbines that have the capability to burn both natural gas and fuel oil .

Chapter 391-3-1 Air Quality Rules 

STATEMENT OF RATIONALE 

Rules for Air Quality Control 

February 21, 2005 Briefing Package 

The basis and economic impacts of the proposed rule amendments for the rules specified below 

are as follows . None of the following rule revisions have any associated scientific research and 

none of the rules require any additional EPD staff or budget increase or impose any additional 

burdens on local governments : 

Rule 391-3-1-.01(nnnn), Definition of "Procedures for Testing and Monitoring 

Sources of Air Pollutants" (PTM) 

The basis of the definition of "Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants, or 

"PTM," is to define that the purpose of the document is to identify those procedures used for the 

purposes intended in the preceding title . The purpose of the revision to this rule is to update the 

effective date to incorporate a revised PTM. 

This revision is administrative in nature and does not incur any additional costs to EPD 

or the regulated entity . 

Rule 391-3-1-.01(qqqq), Definition of "Pollution Control Project" 

EPD is proposing to adopt a provision that excludes certain projects that are determined 

to be overall environmentally beneficial (in regards to air emissions) from Georgia's 

minor source construction permitting regulations at 391-3-1-.03(6)(j) . These types of 

projects are referred to as "pollution control projects". This proposed definition of 

"pollution control project" is used in this minor source construction permitting exemption. 

The definition contains a list of projects that are presumed to qualify as pollution control 

projects. 

There is no economic impact to the regulated industry as this rule may actually provide 

relief by streamlining the permitting process for certain operations . The proposed 

amendment will likely reduce EPD's permitting workload and thus we do not anticipate 

hiring new staff or asking for an increased budget to handle the workload. No costs will 

be imposed on local governments or the general public . 

Rule 391-3- .02(2)(nnn) NOx Emissions from Large Stationary Gas Turbines 

The basis of this rule is to establish emission limitations for existing and new large 

stationary gas turbines. The purpose for this amendment is to remove an emission 

limitation for existing large stationary gas turbines that is not longer applicable to any 

source in Georgia. 

This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive that the 

federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or 

public . 

Rule 391-3- .02(4) Ambient Air Standards 

5 March 12, 2006 
Chapter 391-3-1 Air Quality Rules 

The basis of this rule is to specify the ambient air standards for Georgia. The purpose for 

this revision is repeal the 1-hr ozone standard to be consistent with the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards. 

This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive that the 

federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or 

public . 

Rule 391-3- .02(5) Open Burning 

The basis of this rule is to restrict open burning throughout the state with certain statewide and county-specific allowances. The purpose for this amendment is to revise the 

Open Burning Rule to be consistent with the Georgia Prescribed Burning Act . 

This revision is in no way any more restrictive that the federal requirements and does not 

incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or public . 

Rule 391-3-.02(8) New Source Performance Standards 

The basis of this rule is to adopt the Federal New Source Performance Standards 

(NSPS) by Reference. The purpose for this revision to incorporate all new and modified 

Federal NSPS rules into the Georgia rules. 

This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive that the 

federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or 

public . 

Rule 391-3- .02(9) Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

The basis of this rule is to adopt the Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous 

Air Pollutants (NESHAP) by Reference . The purpose for this revision is to incorporate all 

new and modified Federal NESHAP rules into the Georgia rules . 

This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive that the 

federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or 

public . 

Rule 391-3- .03(6) Permits - Exemptions 

The basis of this rule is to provide a list of source activities that are exempt from 

permitting required under Rules 391-3-1-.03(1) and (2) . The purpose for this revision is 

clarify the exemption as it relates to stationary engines used as emergency generators 

and used for peaking power. 

This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive that the 

federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or 

public . 

Rule 391-3-1-.03(6)(j), Construction Permit Exemption for Pollution Control 

Projects 

6 March 12, 2006
