RE: State Implementation Plan Approval Request

- Chapter 6, Permitting Requirements, Section 13, Nonattainment new source review permit requirements,

and Section 14, Incorporation by reference (R-25)

Dear Mr. McGrath:

On September 9

, 2015

, the Environmental Quality Council of the Wyoming Department

of Environmental Quality conducted a public hearing pursuant to 40 CFR 51

. 102 to consider the adoption of revisions and additions to the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (W AQSR). Revisions affecting the State Implementation Plan (SIP) involve Chapter 6

, Permitting Requirements, Section 13, Nonattainment new source review permit requirements

, and Section 14, Incorporation by reference. The State is requesting a SIP revision to Section 13

and an update to adopt by reference to Section 14.

Chapter 6, Section 13, Nonattainment new source review permit requirements

, establishes specific nonattainment new source review permit requirements. In this revision, the AQD has incorporated federal regulatory language

- establishing permitting requirements for new and

modified major stationary sources in a nonattainment area

- from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 51

. 165 and reformatted it into state-specific language that effectively imposes requirements on sources in Wyoming. Addit i onally

, the AQD has re v ised language within the

rule to maintain consistency with the State's Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations (WAQSR Chapter 6

, Section 4). The EPA issued a preliminary review of this revision on August 28, 2015 and acknowledged in its letter that it found no approvability issues with the

rev1s10ns.

In addition to the revision to Section 4 of Chapter 6

, the State is also asking to update Section 14, Incorporation by reference

, to adopt by reference from the July 1, 2014 Code of Federal Regulations. The State previously submitted SIP revisions for Chapter 6

, Section 14 on May 28

, 2015 that allowed adoption by reference of federal regulations that came after July 1, 2013. This

action requests an update to those revisions.

Notice of Agency Rulemaking

The Air Quality Division (Division) is proposing revisions to the Wyoming Air Quality

Standards and Regulations (W AQSR) listed above. The following is a brief summary of the proposed rule changes:

• Annual updates to Incorporation by Reference (IBR) sections to be adopted by reference

from the 2014 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). If the State does not adopt the most

recent versions of these sections by reference, the rule still applies at the federal level. Adopting these national standards into the State rules allows for State implementation of

the rules.

• Updates to Chapter 2, Section 2, Ambient standards for particulate matter, to include the

2012 PM2

. s National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

• Updates to Chapter 6, Section 13, Nonattainment new source review permit requirements

, to include specific nonattainrnent new source review permitting requirements for new and

modified major stationary sources in a nonattainment area.

o Section 13 revisions address Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for areas designated as nonattainrnent for a NAAQS.

o The requirements are designed to help attain and maintain compliance with the

national standards.

o These updates are derived largely from federal regulatory language

- federal requirements in 40 CFR 51.165

- but they include language that accounts for Wyoming's specific regulatory needs and maintains consistency with existing

state permitting programs (specifically W AQSR Chapter 6, Section 2, Permit requirements for construction, modification, and operation, and Chapter 6,

Section 4, Prevention of significant deterioration).

The proposed revisions can be seen in the attached draft rules. Specific information on th e changes can be found in the Statement of Principal Reasons (SOPR). Chapter 2, Sections 2

and 12, and Chapter 6, Sections 13 and 14, involve changes to the State Implementation Plan (SIP).

The Wyoming Air Quality Advisory Board met in Cheyenne, Wyoming on April 28, 2015,

and recommended that the s e rules proceed to formal rulemaking before Environmental Quality Council ( E QC).

FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

Permitting Requirements

CHAPTER 6

Section 13. Nonattainment new source review permit requirements. Nonattainment permit requirements.

(a) 40 CFR part 51.165 is herein incorporated by reference, in its entirety, with the exception of paragraph (a) and paragraph (a)(1). This section applies to new major stationary sources or major modifications to existing major stationary sources located in areas of the state which are designated as non attainment pursuant to Section 107 of the Clean Air Act for any regulated NSR pollutant.

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this section:

“Act” means Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C 7401, et seq.

“Actual emissions” means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined in accordance with paragraphs (i) through (iii) of this definition, except that this definition shall not apply for calculating whether a significant emi ssions increase has occurred, or for establishing a plantwide applicability limitation (PAL) under paragraph (g)(i) of this section. Instead, the definitions for “Projected actual emissions” and “Baseline actual emissions” of this section shall apply for those purposes.

(i) In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive 24

- month period which precedes the particular date and which is representative of normal source operation. The Division shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit’s actual operati ng hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.

(ii) The Division may presume that source

- specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the unit.

(iii) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.

“Administrator” means Administrator of the Division of Air Quality, Wyoming Departm ent of Environmental Quality.Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 2 “Allowable emissions” means the emission rate of a stationary source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source (unless the source is subject to federally enforceable limits which restrict the operating rate o r hours of operation, or both) and the most stringent of the following:

(i) Applicable standards set forth in Chapter 5, Section 2 or Section 3 of these regulations and other new source performance standards and national emission standards for

hazardous air pollutants promulgated by the EPA but not yet adopted by the State of Wyoming;

(ii) Any other applicable, SIP

- approved emission limit, including those with a future compliance date; or

(iii) The emission rate specified as a federally enforceable permit condition, including those with a future compliance date.

“ Baseline actual emissions ” means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as determined in accordance with paragraphs (i) through (iv) of this definition.

(i) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24

- month period selected by the owner or operator w ithin the 5

- year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The Division shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation.

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any non

compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24

- month period.

(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive 24

- mon th period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24

- month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24

- month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraph (i)(B) of this definition.

(ii) For an existing emissions unit (other than an electri c utility steam generating unit), baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24

- month period selected by the owner or operator within the 10

- year per iod immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project, or the date a complete permit application isDraft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 3 received by the Division for a Chapter 6, Section 13 permit, or under a plan approved by the

EPA Adminis trator, whichever is earlier, except that the 10

- year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990.

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdo wns, and malfunctions.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any non

compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24

- month period.

(C) The average rat e shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply, had such major stationary source been required to comply with such limitations during the co nsecutive 24

- month period; however, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the EPA Administrator proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR 63, the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the

Divisio n has taken credit for such emissions reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan consistent with the requirements of (e)(vii) of this section.

(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, onl y one consecutive 24

- month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24

- month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(E) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24

- month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraphs (ii)(B) and (C) of this definition.

(iii) For a new emission s unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of such unit shall equal zero; and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit’s potential to

emit.

(iv) For a PAL for a major stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (i) of this definition, for other existing emissi ons units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (ii) of this definition, and for a new emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (iii) of this definition.

“Begin actual construction” means, in general, i nitiation of physical on

- site construction activities on an emissions unit which are of a permanent nature. Such activities include, but are not limited to, installation of building supports and foundations, laying of underground pipework, and constructio n of permanent storage structures. With respect to a change in method of operation this term refers to those onsite activities, other than preparatory activities, which mark the initiation of the change.Draft 4 /30/15

- 4 “Best available control technology” means an emis sion limitation (including a visible emission standard) based on the maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant subject to regulation under these Standards and Regulations or regulation under the Act, which would be

emitted from or which results from an y proposed major stationary source or major modification which the Administrator, on a case

- by

- case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such source or modification through app lication of production processes and available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. If the Administrator determines that technological or economic l imitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emission standard infeasible, he may instead prescribe a design, equipment, work practice or operational standard or combination thereof to satisfy the requirement of Best Available Control Technology. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice, or operation and shall provide for compl iance by means which achieve equivalent results. Application of BACT shall not result in emissions in excess of those allowed under Chapter 5, Section 2 or Section 3 of these regulations and any other new source performance standard or

national emission s tandards for hazardous air pollutants promulgated by the EPA but not yet adopted by the State of Wyoming.

“Clean coal technology” means any technology, including technologies applied at the precombustion, combustion, or post combustion stage, at a new or existing facility which will achieve significant reduction in air emissions of sulfur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen associated with the utilization of coal in the generation of electricity, or process steam which was not in widespread use as of November 1 5, 1990.

“Clean coal technology demonstration project” means a project using funds appropriated under the heading “Department of Energy

- Clean Coal Technology”, up to a total amount of $2,500,000,000 for commercial demonstration of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through appropriations for the Environmental Protection Agency. The Federal contribution for a qualifying project shall be at least 20 percent of the total cost of the demonstration project.

“Commence”

, as applied to constructi on of a major stationary source or major modification, means that the owner or operator has obtained a Construction Permit required by Chapter 6, Section 2 and either has (i) begun, or caused to begin, a continuous program of actual

on

- site construction of the source, to be completed within a reasonable time or (ii) entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss to the owner or operator, to undertake a program of construction of the source to be completed within a reasonable time.

“Construction” means any physical change or change in the method of operation (including fabrication, erection, installation, demolition, or modification of an emissions unit) which would result in a chang e in emissions.Draft 4 /30/15

“Division” means the Air Quality Division of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

“Electric utility steam generating unit” means any steam electric generating unit that is constructed for the purpose of supplying more than one

- third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MW electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Any steam supplied to a steam distribution system for the purpose of providing steam to a steam

electric utility steam generator that would p roduce electrical energy for sale is also considered in determining the electrical energy output capacity of the affected facility.

“Emissions unit” means any part of a stationary source that emits or would have the potential to emit any regulated NSR pol lutant and includes an electric utility steam generating unit as defined in this section. For purposes of this section, there are two types of emissions units as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this definition.

(i) A new emissions unit is any e missions unit that is (or will be) newly constructed and that has existed for less than 2 years from the date such emissions unit first operated.

(ii) An existing emissions unit is any emissions unit that does not meet the requirements in paragraph (i ) of this definition. A replacement unit, as defined in this section, is an existing emissions unit.

“Enforceable” means all limitations and conditions which are enforceable under provisions of the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act and/or are federally enforceable by the Administrator of the EPA, including those requirements developed pursuant to 40 CFR parts 60 and 61, requirements within the State Implementation Plan, and any permit requirements established pursuant to 40 CFR 52.21 or under regulatio ns approved pursuant to 40 CFR part 51, subpart I, including operating permits issued under Chapter 6, Section 3 of these regulations.

(i) The most stringent emissions limitation which is contained in the implementation plan of any State for such class or category of stationary source, unless the owner or operator of the proposed stationar y source demonstrates that such limitations are not achievable; or

(ii) The most stringent emissions limitation which is achieved in practice by such class or category of stationary sources. This limitation, when applied to a modification, means

the l owest achievable emissions rate for the new or modified emissions units within a stationary source. In no event shall the application of the term permit a proposed new or modified stationary source to emit any pollutant in excess of the amount allowable u nder an applicable new source standard of performance.

“Major modification” means any physical change in or change in the method of operation of a major stationary source that would result in: a significant emissions increase (as

defined in the definiti on for “Significant emissions increase” in this section) of a regulated NSR pollutant (as defined in the definition for “Regulated NSR pollutant” in this section); and a significant net emissions increase of that pollutant from the major stationary source. Any significant emissions increase (as defined in the definition for “Significant emissions increase” in this section) from any emissions units or net emissions increase (as defined in the definition for “Net emissions increase” in this section) at a maj or stationary source that is significant for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or NO x

pro gress;

(D) It has approximately the same qualitative significance for public health and welfare as that attributed to the increase from the particular change; and

(vi) An increase that results from a physical change at a source occurs when the emissions unit on which construction occurred becomes operational and begins to emit a particular pollutant. Any replacement unit that requires shakedown becomes operational only after a reasonable shakedown period, not to exceed 180 days.

(vii) The d efinition of “Actual emissions” of this section, shall not apply for determining creditable increases and decreases after a change.Draft 4 /30/15

- 11 “Potential to emit” means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operation al design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation or the affect it would have on emissions is federally enforceable. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source.

“ Predictive emissions monitoring system ( PEMS) ” means all of the equipment necessary to monitor process and control device operational parameters (for example, control device secondary voltages and electric currents) and other information (for example, gas flow
rate, O 2 

### or CO 2 

### concentrations), and calculate and record the mass emissions rate (for example, lb/hr) on a continuous basis.

“ Project ” means a physical change in, or change in method of operation of, an existing major stationary source.

“ Projected actual emissions ” means the maximum annual rate, in tons per year, at which an existing emissions unit is projected to emit a regulated NSR pollutant in any one of the 5 years (12

- month period) following the date the unit resumes regular operation after the project,

or in any one of the 10 years following that date, if the project involves increasing the emissions unit’s design capacity or its potential to emit that regulated NSR pollutant, and full utilization of the unit would result in a significant emissions increase, or a significant net emissions increase at the major stationary source.

(i) In determining the projected actual emissions under the above paragraph of this section (before beginning actual construction), the owner or operator of the major stationary

s ource:

(A) Shall consider all relevant information, including but not limited to, historical operational data, the company’s own representations, the company’s expected business activity and the company’s highest projections of business activity, the company’s f ilings with the State or Federal regulatory authorities, and compliance plans approved by the Division;

(B) Shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions; and

“Temporary clean coal technology demonstration project” means a clean coal

technol ogy demonstration project that is operated for a period of 5 years or less, and which complies with the Wyoming State Implementation Plan and other requirements necessary to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards during the project and after it is

terminated.

“Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)” is defined in Chapter 3, Section 6(a) of these regulations.

(c) Non

- attainment New Source Review (NNSR) Permit Required.

(i) New major stationary sources or major modifications to existing major stationary sources must obtain an NNSR permit before beginning actual construction if they are located in an area designated nonattainment for any national ambient air quality standard if the source is major for the pollutant for which the a rea is designated nonattainment. Notwithstanding the source category

- based exemptions set forth under Chapter 6, Section 2(k), any new major stationary facility or major stationary source undergoing a major modification under this Section will not be gra nted any of the Section 2(k) exemptions.

(ii) Except as provided by a PAL under paragraph (g) of this section, a proposed project is considered a major modification (as defined in the definition for “Major modification” in Section 13(b)) to an existin g major source if the proposed project meets the criteria outlined in paragraphs in Section 13(c)(ii)(A) through (E) below:

(A) A project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if it causes two types of emissions increases

-- a significan t emissions increase (as defined in the definition for “Significant emissions increase” in Section 13(b)), and a significant net emissions increase (as defined in the definitions for “Significant emissions increase”, “Net emissions increase” and “Significa nt” in Section 13(b)). The project is not a major modification if it does not cause a significant emissions increase. If the project causes a significant emissions increase, then the project is a major modification only if it also results in a significant net emissions

increase.

(B) The procedure for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant emissions increase (i.e., the first step of the process) will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified, according to paragraphs (C) through (E) below. The procedure for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant net emissions increase will occur at the major stationary source (i.e., the second step of the process)

is contained in the definition for “Net emissions increase” in Section 13(b). Regardless of any such preconstruction projections, a major modification results if the project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase.

- potential test for projects that only involve construction of a new emissions unit(s). A significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference between the potential to emit (as defined in the definition for “Potential to emit” in Section 13(b)) from each new emissions unit following completion of the project and the base line actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of these units before the project equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant (as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section

1 3(b)).

(E) Hybrid test for projects that involve multiple types of emissions units. A significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the emissions increases for each emissions unit, using the method sp ecified in paragraphs (C) through (D) above as applicable with respect to each emissions unit, for each type of emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant (as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b)).

(d) NNSR Permit.

(i) Requirements for construction or modification of a source specified under Chapter 6, Section 2 of these regulations shall apply.

(ii) The following specific provisions apply to projects at existing emissions units at a major stationary source (other than projects at a source with a PAL) in circumstances where the owner or operator elects to use the method specified in paragraphs (i)(A) through (C) of the definition for “Projected actual emissions” for calculating projected act ual emissions.

(A) Before beginning actual construction of the project, the owner or operator shall document and maintain a record of the following information:

(I) A description of the project;

(II) Identification of the emissions unit(s ) whose emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant could be affected by the project; and

(III) A description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for any regulated NSR pollutant, including the baseline actual emissions, the projected actual emissions, the amount of emissions excluded under paragraph (i)(C) of the definition for “Projected actual emissions” in Section 13(b) and an explanation for why such amount was excluded, and any netting calculations, if applicable.Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 17 (B) Before beginning actual construction, the owner or operator shall provide the information set out in paragraph (d)(ii)(A) of this section to the Division as a Chapter 6, Section 2 permit application.

(C) The owner or operator shall monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant that could increase as a result of the project and that is emitted by any emissions unit identified in paragraph (d)(ii)(A)(II) of this section; and calculate and

mainta in a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basis, for a period of 5 years following resumption of regular operations after the change, or for a period of 10 years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project increases the design capacity or potential to emit of that regulated NSR pollutant at such emissions unit.

(D) The owner or operator shall submit a report to the Division within 60 days after the end of each year during which records must be generated under paragraph (d)(ii)(C) of this section setting out the unit’s annual emissions during the calendar year that preceded submission of the report.

(iii) The owner or operator of the source shall make the information required to

be documen ted and maintained pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii) of this section available for review upon request for inspection by the Division or the general public pursuant to the requirements contained in 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(viii).

(iv) All requirements fo r construction or modification of a major source listed under 40 CFR 51, Appendix S, Section IV (A) shall apply. Notwithstanding the requirements of Chapter 6, Section 2(c)(v), the BACT analysis requirement is hereby superseded by the Appendix S, Section I V(A), Condition 1, LAER analysis requirement.

(v) Approval to construct does not relieve an owner or operator of the responsibility to comply with applicable provisions of this section, the Act or any other requirements under local, state or federal l aw.

(vi) At such time that a particular source or modification becomes a major stationary source or major modification solely by virtue of a relaxation in any enforceable limitation which was established after August 7, 1980 on the capacity of the sou rce or modification otherwise to emit a pollutant, then all the provisions of Chapter 6, Section 2 and 13 shall apply to the source or modification as though construction had not yet commenced on the

source or modification.

(e) Determining Credit fo r Emission Offsets. The baseline for determining credit for emission offsets is the emission limit in effect at the time the application to construct is filed, except that the offset baseline is the actual emission of the unit from which offset credit is obtained if the demonstration of reasonable further progress and attainment of ambient air quality standards is based upon the actual emission of sources located within a designated nonattainment area; or if there is no applicable emission limit. In deter mining credit for emission offsets, the following criteria shall be met:Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 18 (i) If the emissions limit allows greater emissions than the potential to emit of the unit, the emission offset credit is allowed only for the control below the potential to emit of the unit;

(ii) For an existing fuel combustion unit, credit shall be based on the emission limit for the type of fuel being burned at the time the application to construct is filed. If the existing source agrees to switch to a cleaner fuel at some future date, emission offset credits based on the allowable or actual emissions for the fuels involved may be allowed only if permit conditions specify an alternative control measure that would achieve the same degree of

emission reduction if the source s witched back to the dirtier fuel at some later date. The owner or operator will submit a demonstration to ensure that adequate long

- term supplies of the new fuel are available before the Division grants emission offset credit for fuel switches;

(iii) Emission reductions achieved by shutting down an existing unit or curtailing production or operating hours below baseline levels may be credited if the reductions are surplus, permanent, quantifiable, federally enforceable, and the area has a federally

- app roved attainment plan. In addition, the shutdown or curtailed production must occur after August 7, 1977, or less than one year before the date of submitting the permit application, whichever is earlier. Emission reductions may be credited in the absence of a federally

- approved attainment plan if the shutdown or curtailment occurred on or after the date the application is filed for a new unit or if the applicant can establish that the proposed new unit is a replacement for the shutdown or curtailed unit, and the shutdown or curtailment occurred after August 7, 1977, or less than one year before the date of submitting the permit application, whichever is earlier;

(iv) Emission offset credit may not be allowed for replacing one hydrocarbon compound with another of lesser reactivity except for those compounds listed in Table 1 of EPA’s “Recommended Policy on Control of Volatile Organic Compounds” (42 FR 35314, July 8, 1977);

(v) All emission reductions claimed as offset credit must be federally

enfor ceable;

(vi) The permissible location of offsetting emissions shall be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 51, Appendix S, section IV. D;

(vii) Credit for emissions reduction may be claimed to the extent that the

Division has not relied on it in is suing a permit or in its demonstration of attainment or reasonable further progress;

(viii) The total tonnage of increased emissions, in tons per year, resulting from a major modification that must be offset shall be determined by summing the difference between

the allowable emissions after the modification and the actual emissions before the modification for each emission unit;

nonattainment o ffset requirements listed below in (x)(A) through (D):

(A) The Administrator may impose an alternative ratio that is more stringent than the applicable numerical ratios listed in (B) through (D).

(B) For ozone nonattainment areas subject to subp art 2, part D, title I of the Act, the ratio of total actual emissions reductions of VOCs to the emission increase of VOCs

shall be as follows:

(I) In any marginal nonattainment area for ozone

-- at least 1.1:1;

(II) In any moderate nonattainment area for ozone

-- at least 1.15:1;

(III) In any serious nonattainment area for ozone

-- at least 1.2:1;

(IV) In any severe nonattainment area for ozone

-- at least 1.3:1 (except that the ratio may be at least 1.2:1 if the approved State Implementation Plan also requires all existing major sources in such nonattainment area to use BACT for the control of VOCs); and

(V) In any extreme nonattainment area for ozone

-- at least 1.5:1 (except that the ratio may be at least 1.2:1 if the appr oved State Implementation Plan also requires all existing major sources in such nonattainment area to use BACT for the control of VOCs).

(C) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (x)(A) of this section,

the ratio of total actual emissions redu ctions of VOCs to the emissions increase of VOCs shall be at least 1.15:1 for all areas within an ozone transport region that is subject to subpart 2, part D, title I of the Act, except for serious, severe and extreme nonattainment areas that are subject t o subpart 2, part D, title I of the Act.

(D) For ozone nonattainment areas subject to subpart 1, part D, title I of the Act (but are not subject to subpart 2, part D, title I of the Act, including 8

(i ) The Division may approve the use of an actuals PAL for any existing major stationary source if the PAL meets the requirements specified in paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section.

(A) Applicability.

(I) The term “PAL” shall mean “actuals PAL” throughout subsection (g)(i). The Division will not allow an actuals PAL for VOC or NO x 

### for any major stationary source located in an extreme ozone nonattainment area.

(II) Any physical change in or change in the method of operation of a major stationary source that maintains its total source

meets t he requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section, and complies with the PAL permit:

(1.) Is not a major modification for the PAL pollutant;

(2.) Does not have to be approved through a Chapter 6, Section 13 permit; and

(3.) Is not subject to the provisions in paragraph (d)(vi) of this section (restrictions on relaxing enforceable emission limitations that the major stationaryDraft 4 /30/15

- 21 source used to avoid applicability of Chapter 6, Section 13).

(III) Except as provid ed under paragraph (g)(i)(A)(II)(3.) of this section, a major stationary source shall continue to comply with all applicable Federal or State of Wyoming requirements, emission limitations, and work practice requirements that were established prior to the e ffective date of the PAL.

(B) Definitions. The following definitions shall be used for actuals PALs consistent with paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section. When a term is not defined in the paragraphs below, it shall have the meaning give n in paragraph (b) of this section, or in the

Act.

“Actuals PAL for a major stationary source” means a PAL based on the baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of all emissions units (a s defined in the definition for “Emission Unit” in Section 13(b)) at the source, that emit or have the potential to emit the PAL pollutant.

“Allowable emissions” has the same meaning as in the definition for “Allowable emissions” in Section 13(b), except as this definition is modified according to paragraphs (I) and (II) of this definition.

(I) The allowable emissions for any emissions unit shall be

calcula ted considering any emission limitations that are enforceable as a practical matter on the emissions unit’s potential to emit.

(II) An emissions unit’s potential to emit shall be determined using the definition of “Potential to emit” in Section 13(b ), except that the words “or enforceable as a practical matter” should be added after “federally enforceable”.

“Major emissions unit” means:

(I) Any emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more of the PAL poll utant in an attainment area; or

(II) Any emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit the PAL pollutant in an amount that is equal to or greater than the major source threshold for the PAL pollutant as defined by the Act for nonattainment areas. (For example, in accordance with the definition of major stationary source in section 182(c) of the Act, an emissions unit would be a major emissions unit for VOCs if the emissions unit is located in a serious ozone nonattainment

area and it emits or has the potential to emit 50 or more tons of VOCs per year.)

“PAL effective date” generally means the date of issuance of the PAL permit; however, the PAL effective date for an increased PAL is the date any emissions unit that is part of the PAL ma

jor modification becomes operational and begins to emit the PAL pollutant.

“PAL effective period” means the period beginning with the PALDraft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 22 effective date and ending 10 years later.

“PAL major modification” means, notwithstanding the definitions for “Major modification” and “Net emissions increase” in Section 13(b), any physical change in or change in the method of operation of the PAL source that causes it to emit the PAL pollutant at a level equal to or greater than the PAL.

“PAL permit” means the Chapter 6, Section 2 and Section 13 permit issued by the Division that establishes a PAL for a major stationary source.

“PAL pollutant” means the pollutant for which a PAL is established at a major stationary source.

“Plantwide applicability limitation (PAL)” means an emission limitation expressed in tons per year, for a pollutant at a major stationary source, that is enforceable as a practical matter and established source

- wide in accordance with paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O)

of this sect ion.

“Significant emissions unit” means an emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit a PAL pollutant in an amount that is equal to or greater than the significant level (as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b) or i n the Act, whichever is lower) for that PAL pollutant, but less than the amount that would qualify the unit as a “Major

emissions unit” as defined in this section.

“Small emissions unit” means an emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit the PAL pollutant in an amount less than the significant level for that PAL pollutant, as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b) or in the Act, whichever

is lower.

(C) Permit Application Requirements. As part of a permit applic ation requesting a PAL, the owner or operator of a major stationary source shall submit the following information in paragraphs (g)(i)(C)(I) through (III) of this section to the Division for approval:

(I) A list of all emissions units at the source designated as small, significant or major based on their potential to emit. In addition, the owner or operator of the source shall indicate which, if any, Federal or State of Wyoming applicable requirements

, emission limitations, or work practices apply to each unit;

(II) Calculations of the baseline actual emissions (with supporting documentation). Baseline actual emissions are to include emissions associated not only with operation of the unit, but also emissions associated with startup, shutdown, and malfunction; and

(III) The calculation procedures that the major stationary source owner or operator proposes to use to convert the monitoring system data to monthly emissions

and annual emission s based on a 12

- month rolling total for each month as required by paragraph (g)(i)(M)(I) of this section.Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 23 (D) General Requirements for Establishing PALs.

(I) The Division may establish a PAL at a major stationary source, provided that at a min imum, the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(D)(I)(1.) through (7.) of this

section are met.

(1.) The PAL shall impose an annual emission limitation in tons per year, that is enforceable as a practical matter, for the entire major stationary source. For each month during the PAL effective period after the first 12 months of establishing a PAL, the major stationary source owner or operator shall show that the sum of the monthly emissions from each emissions unit under the PAL for the previous 12 cons ecutive months is less than the PAL (a 12

- month average, rolled monthly). For each month during the first 11 months from the PAL effective date, the major stationary source owner or operator shall show that the sum of the preceding monthly emissions from the PAL effective date for each emissions unit under the PAL

is less than the PAL.

(2.) The PAL shall be established in a PAL permit that meets the public participation requirements in paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(3.) The PAL permit shall contain all the requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(G) of this section.

(4.) The PAL shall include fugitive emissions, to the extent quantifiable, from all emissions units that emit or have the potential to emit the PAL poll utant at the major stationary source.

(5.) Each PAL shall regulate emissions of only one pollutant.

(6.) Each PAL shall have a PAL effective period of 10

years.

(7.) The owner or operator of the major stationary source

with a PAL sha ll comply with the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements provided in paragraphs (g)(i)(L) through (N) of this section for each emissions unit under the PAL through the PAL effective period.

(II) At no time (during or after the PAL ef fective period) are emissions reductions of a PAL pollutant that occur during the PAL effective period creditable as decreases for purposes of offsets under paragraph (e) of this section unless the level of the PAL is reduced by the amount of such emission s reductions and such reductions would be creditable

in the absence of the PAL.

(E) Public Participation Requirements for PALs. PALs for existing major stationary sources shall be established, renewed, or increased, through a procedure that isDraft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 24 consi stent with Chapter 6, Section 2. This includes the requirement that the Division provide the public with notice of the proposed approval of a PAL permit and at least a 30

- day period for submittal of public comment. The Division must address all material comments before taking final action on the permit.

(F) Setting the 10

- Year Actuals PAL Level.

(I) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(i)(F)(II) of this section, the actuals PAL level for a major stationary source shall be established as the sum of the baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of the PAL pollutant for each emissions unit at the source; plus an amount equal to the applicable significant level for the PAL pollutant under the definition of “Significant” in Section 13(b) or under the Act, whichever is lower. When establishing the actuals PAL level, for a PAL pollutant, only one consecutive 24

- month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions

for all existing emissions units; however, a different consecutive 24

- month period may be used for each different PAL pollutant. Emissions associated with units that were permanently shut

down after this 24

- month period must be subtracted from the PAL level. The Division shall specify a reduced PAL level(s) (in tons/yr) in the PAL permit to become effective on the future compliance date(s) of any applicable Federal or State of Wyoming regulatory requirement(s) that the Division is aware of prior to issuance of th e PAL permit. For instance, if the source owner or operator will be required to reduce emissions from industrial boilers in half from baseline emissions of 60 ppm NO x 

### to a new rule limit of 30 ppm, then the permit shall contain a future

effective PAL leve l that is equal to the current PAL level reduced by half of the original baseline emissions of such unit(s).

(II) For newly constructed units (which do not include modifications to existing units) on which actual construction began after the 24

- mont h period, in lieu of adding the baseline actual emissions as specified in paragraph (g)(i)(F)(I) of this section, the emissions must be added to the PAL level in an amount equal to the potential to emit of the

units.

(G) Contents of the PAL Permit. T he PAL permit shall contain, at a minimum, the information in paragraphs (g)(i)(G)(I) through (X) of this section.

(I) The PAL pollutant and the applicable source

- wide emission limitation in tons per year;

(II) The PAL permit effective date and the expiration date of the PAL (PAL effective period);

(III) Specification in the PAL permit that if a major stationary source owner or operator applies to renew a PAL in accordance with paragraph (g)(i)(J) of this

section before the end of the PAL effective period, then the PAL shall not expire at the end of the PAL effective period. It shall remain in effect until a revised PAL permit is issued by the Division;Draft 4 /30/15

(I) PAL Effective Period. The PAL effective period shall be 10

years.

(II) Reopening of the PAL Permit.

(1.) During the PAL effective period, the Division shall reopen the PAL permit to:

a. Correct typographical/calculation errors made in setting the PAL or reflect a more accurate determination of emissions used to establish the PAL;

b. Red uce the PAL if the owner or operator of the major stationary source creates creditable emissions reductions for use as offsets under Section 13(e); and

c. Revise the PAL to reflect an increase in the PAL as provided under paragraph (g)(i)(K) of th is section.

(2.) The Division may reopen the PAL permit for the following:Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 26 a. Reduce the PAL to reflect newly applicable Federal requirements (for example, NSPS) with compliance dates after the PAL effective date;

b. Reduce the PA L consistent with any other requirement, that is enforceable as a practical matter, and that the Division may impose on the major stationary source; and

c. Reduce the PAL if the Division determines that a reduction is necessary to avoid causing or contributing to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation, or to an adverse impact on an AQRV that has been identified for a Federal Class I Area by a Federal Land Manager and for which information is available to the general public.

(3.) Except for the permit reopening in paragraph (g)(i)(H)(II)(1.)a. of this section for the correction of typographical/calculation errors that do not increase the PAL level, all reopenings shall be carried out in accordance with the public participation requirements of par agraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(I) Expiration of a PAL. Any PAL that is not renewed in accordance with the procedures in paragraph (g)(i)(J) of this section shall expire at the end of the PAL effective period, and the requirements in paragraphs ( g)(i)(I)(I) through (V) of this section shall apply.

(I) Each emissions unit (or each group of emissions units) that existed under the PAL shall comply with an allowable emission limitation under a revised permit established according to the procedur es in paragraphs (g)(i)(I)(I)(1.) and (2.) of this section.

(1.) Within the time frame specified for PAL renewals in paragraph (g)(i)(J)(II) of this section, the major stationary source shall submit a proposed

allowable emission limitation for each emissions unit (or each group of emissions units, if such a distribution is more appropriate as decided by the Division) by distributing the PAL

- allowable emissions for the major stationary source among each of the emissions units that existed under

the P AL. If the PAL had not yet been adjusted for an applicable requirement that became effective during the PAL effective period, as required under paragraph (g)(i)(J)(V) of this section, such distribution shall be made as if the PAL had been adjusted.

(2.) The Division shall decide whether and how the PAL

allowable emissions will be distributed and issue a revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as the Division determines is appropriate.

(II) Each emissions unit(s) shall comply with the allowable

emission limitation on a 12

- month rolling basis. The Division may approve the use of monitoring systems (source testing, emission factors, etc.) other than CEMS, CERMS, PEMS or

CPMS to de monstrate compliance with the allowable emission limitation.

(III) Until the Division issues the revised permit incorporatingDraft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 27 allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as required under paragraph (g)(i)(I)(I)(2.) of this section, the source shall continue to comply with a source

- wide,

multi

- unit emissions cap equivalent to the level of the PAL emission limitation.

(IV) Any physical change or change in the method of operation at the major stationary source will be subject to Chapter 6, Section 13 requirements if such change meets the definition of “Major modification” in Section 13(b).

(V) The major stationary source owner or operator shall continue to comply with any State of Wyoming or Federal applicabl e requirements (BACT, RACT, NSPS, etc.) that may have applied either during the PAL effective period or prior to the PAL effective period except for those emission limitations that had been established pursuant to paragraph (d)(vi) of this section, but wer e eliminated by the PAL in accordance with the provisions in paragraph (g)(i)(A)(II)(3.) of this section.

(J) Renewal of a PAL.

(I) The Division shall follow the procedures specified in paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section in approving any request to renew a PAL for a major stationary source, and shall provide both the proposed PAL level and a written rationale for the proposed PAL level to the public for review and comment. During such public review, any person may propose a PAL level for the source for consideration by the Division.

(II) Application Deadline. A major stationary source owner or operator shall submit a time ly application to the Division to request renewal of a PAL. A timely application is one that is submitted at least 6 months prior to, but not earlier than 18 months from, the date of permit expiration. This deadline for application submittal is to ensure that the permit will not expire before the permit is renewed. If the owner or operator of a major stationary source submits a complete application to renew the PAL within this time period, then the PAL shall continue to be effective until the revised per mit with the renewed PAL is issued.

(III) Application Requirements. The application to renew a PAL permit shall contain the information required in paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(III)(1.) through (4.) of this

section.

(1.) The information required in paragraphs (g)(i)(C)(I) through (III) of this section;

(2.) A proposed PAL level;

(3.) The sum of the potential to emit of all emissions units under the PAL (with supporting documentation); and

(4.) Any other information the owner o r operator wishes the Division to consider in determining the appropriate level for renewing the PAL.Draft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 28 (IV) PAL Adjustment. In determining whether and how to adjust the PAL, the Division shall consider the options outlined in paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(IV )(1.) and (2.) of this section; however, in no case may any such adjustment fail to comply with paragraph (g)(i)(J)(IV)(3.) of this section.

(1.) If the emissions level calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(i)(F) of this section is equal to o r greater than 80 percent of the PAL level, the Division may renew the PAL at the same level without considering the factors set forth in paragraph (g)(i)(J)(IV)(2.) of this section; or

(2.) The Division may set the PAL at a level that it determines to be more representative of the source’s baseline actual emissions, or that it determines to be appropriate considering air quality needs, advances in control technology, anticipated economic growth in the area, desire to reward or encourage th e source’s voluntary emissions reductions, or other factors as specifically identified by the Division in its written

rationale.

(3.) Notwithstanding paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(IV)(1.) and (2.)

of this section:

a. If the potential to emit of the major stationary source is less than the PAL, the Division shall adjust the PAL to a level no greater than the potential to emit of the source; and

b. The Division shall not approve a renewed PAL level higher than the current PAL, unless the major stationary source has complied with the provisions of paragraph (g)(i)(K) of this section (increasing a PAL).

(V) If the compliance date for a State of Wyoming or Federal requirement that applies to the PAL source occurs during the PAL effective per iod, and if the Division has not already adjusted for such requirement, the PAL shall be adjusted at the time of PAL permit renewal or Chapter 6, Section 3 operating permit renewal, whichever occurs first.

(K) Increasing a PAL During the PAL Effectiv e Period.

(I) The Division may increase a PAL emission limitation only if the major stationary source complies with the provisions in paragraphs (g)(i)(K)(I)(1.) through (4.) of this section.

(1.) The owner or operator of the major stationar y source shall submit a complete application to request an increase in the PAL limit for a PAL major modification. Such application shall identify the emissions unit(s) contributing to the increase in emissions so as to cause the major stationary source’s emissions to equal or exceed its PAL.

(2.) As part of this application, the major stationary source owner or operator shall demonstrate that the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the smallDraft 4 /30/15



### 6

- 29 emissions units, plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the significant and major emissions units assuming application of BACT equivalent controls, plus the sum of the allowable emissions of the new or modified emissions unit(s), exceeds the PAL. The level of control that

would result from BACT e quivalent controls on each significant or major emissions unit shall be determined by conducting a new BACT analysis at the time the application is submitted, unless the emissions unit is currently required to comply with a BACT or LAER requirement that wa s established within the preceding 10 years. In such a case, the assumed control level for that emissions unit shall be equal to the level of BACT or LAER with which that emissions unit must currently comply.

(3.) The owner or operator obtains a Ch apter 6, Section 4 permit for all emissions unit(s) identified in paragraph (g)(i)(K)(I)(1.) of this section, regardless of the magnitude of the emissions increase resulting from them (that is, no significant levels apply). These emissions unit(s) shall c omply with any emissions requirements resulting from the Chapter 6, Section 13 process (for example, LAER), even though they have also become subject to the PAL or continue to be subject to the PAL.

(4.) The PAL permit shall require that the increa sed PAL level shall be effective on the day any emissions unit that is part of the PAL major modification becomes operational and begins to emit the PAL pollutant.

(II) The Division shall calculate the new PAL as the sum of the

allowable emissions f

or each modified or new emissions unit, plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the significant and major emissions units (assuming application of BACT equivalent controls as determined in accordance with paragraph (g)(i)(K)(I)(2.) of this section ), plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the small emissions units.

(III) The PAL permit shall be revised to reflect the increased PAL level pursuant to the public notice requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(L) Moni toring Requirements for PALs.

(I) General Requirements.

(1.) Each PAL permit must contain enforceable requirements for the monitoring system that accurately determines plantwide emissions of the PAL pollutant in terms of mass per unit of time. Any monitoring system authorized for use in the PAL permit must be based on sound science and meet generally acceptable scientific procedures for data quality and manipulation. Additionally, the information generated by such system must meet minimu m legal requirements for admissibility in a judicial proceeding to enforce the PAL permit.

(2.) The PAL monitoring system must employ one or more of the four general monitoring approaches meeting the minimum requirements set forth in paragraphs (g)( i)(L)(II)(1.) through (4.) of this section and must be approved by the Division.Draft 4 /30/15

(VII) A source owner or operator must record and report maximum potential emissions without considering enforceable emission limitations or operational restrictions fo r an emissions unit during any period of time that there is no monitoring data, unless another method for determining emissions during such periods is specified in the PAL permit.

(VIII) Notwithstanding the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(L)(III) t hrough (VII) of this section, where an owner or operator of an emissions unit cannot demonstrate a correlation between the monitored parameter(s) and the PAL pollutant emissions rate at all operating points of the emissions unit, the Division shall, at the time of permit issuance:

(1.) Establish default value(s) for determining compliance with the PAL based on the highest potential emissions reasonably estimated at such operating point(s); or

(2.) Determine that operation of the emissions uni t during operating conditions when there is no correlation between monitored parameter(s) and the PAL pollutant emissions is a violation of the PAL.Draft 4 /30/15

FOR INCLUSION IN WYOMING STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FROM WYOMING AIR QUALITY STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

Permitting Requirements

CHAPTER 6

Section 13. Nonattainment new source review permit requirements.

(a) This section applies to new major stationary sources or major modifications to existing major stationary sources located in areas of the state which are designated as nonattainment pursuant to Section 107 of the Clean Air Act for any regulated NSR pollutant.

(b) Definitions. For purpo ses of this section:

“Act” means Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C 7401, et seq.

“Actual emissions” means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined in accordance with paragraphs (i) through (iii) o f this definition, except that this definition shall not apply for calculating whether a significant emissions increase has occurred, or for establishing a plantwide applicability limitation (PAL) under paragraph (g)(i) of this section. Instead, the defin itions for “Projected actual emissions” and “Baseline actual emissions” of this section shall apply for those purposes.

(i) In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive 24

- month period which precedes the particular date and which is representative of normal source operation. The Division shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more

represen tative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit’s actual operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.

(ii) The Division may presume th at source

- specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the unit.

(iii) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.

“Administrator” means Administrator of the Division of Air Quality, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

“Allowable emissions” means the emission rate of a stationary source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source (unless the source is subject to federally enforceable

### 6

- 2

limits which restrict the operating rate or hours of operation, or both) and the most stringent of the following:

(i) Applicable standards set forth in Chapter 5, Section 2 or Section 3 of these regulations and other new source performance standards and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants promulgated by the EPA but not yet ad opted by the State of Wyoming;

(ii) Any other applicable, SIP

- approved emission limit, including those with a future compliance date; or

(iii) The emission rate specified as a federally enforceable permit condition, including those with a future comp liance date.

“ Baseline actual emissions ” means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as determined in accordance with paragraphs (i) through (iv) of this definition.

(i) For any existing electric utility steam gener ating unit, baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24

- month period selected by the owner or operator within the 5

- year period immediately preceding when th e owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The Division shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation.

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive em issions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any non

compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emis sion limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24

- month period.

(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive 24

- month period must be used to determine the baseline

actu al emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24

- month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24

- month period for which there is inadequate inform ation for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraph (i)(B) of this definition.

(ii) For an existing emissions unit (other than an electric utility steam generating unit), baseline actual emi ssions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24

- month period selected by the owner or operator within the 10

- year period immediately preceding either the date the owner o r operator begins actual construction of the project, or the date a complete permit application is received by the Division for a Chapter 6, Section 13 permit, or under a plan approved by the EPA Administrator, whichever is earlier, except that the 10

- year period shall not include any

### 6

- 3

period earlier than November 15, 1990.

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(B) The average rate sha ll be adjusted downward to exclude any non

compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24

- month period.

(C) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply, had such major stationary source been required to comply with

such limit ations during the consecutive 24

- month period; however, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the EPA Administrator proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR 63, the baseline actual emissions need only be adj usted if the

Division has taken credit for such emissions reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan consistent with the requirements of (e)(vii) of this section.

(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive 24

- month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24

- month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(E) The averag e rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24

- month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraphs (ii)(B) and (C) of this definition.

(iii) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of such unit shall equal zero; and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit’s potential to

emit.

(iv) For a PAL for a major stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (i) of this defini tion, for other existing emissions units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (ii) of this definition, and for a new emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (iii) of this definition.

“Begin actual con struction” means, in general, initiation of physical on

- site construction activities on an emissions unit which are of a permanent nature. Such activities include, but are not limited to, installation of building supports and foundations, laying of underg round pipework, and construction of permanent storage structures. With respect to a change in method of operation this term refers to those onsite activities, other than preparatory activities, which mark the initiation of the change.

“Best available co ntrol technology” means an emission limitation (including a visible

### 6

- 4

emission standard) based on the maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant subject to regulation under these Standards and Regulations or regulation under the Act, which would be

emitte d from or which results from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the Administrator, on a case

- by

- case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such sou rce or modification through application of production processes and available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. If the Administrator determines t hat technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emission standard infeasible, he may instead prescribe a design, equipment, work practice or operational standard or combination thereof to satisfy the requirement of Best Available Control Technology. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice, or

operat ion and shall provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results. Application of BACT shall not result in emissions in excess of those allowed under Chapter 5, Section 2 or Section 3 of these regulations and any other new source performance standard or national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants promulgated by the EPA but not yet adopted by the State of Wyoming.

“Clean coal technology” means any technology, including technologies applied at the precombustion, combustion, or pos t combustion stage, at a new or existing facility which will achieve significant reduction in air emissions of sulfur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen associated with the utilization of coal in the generation of electricity, or process steam which was not in widespread use as of November 15, 1990.

“Clean coal technology demonstration project” means a project using funds appropriated under the heading “Department of Energy

- Clean Coal Technology”, up to a total amount of $2,500,000,000 for commercial demonstra tion of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through appropriations for the Environmental Protection Agency. The Federal contribution for a qualifying project shall be at least 20 percent of the total cost of the demonstration project.

“Comm ence”

, as applied to construction of a major stationary source or major modification, means that the owner or operator has obtained a Construction Permit required by Chapter 6, Section 2 and either has (i) begun, or caused to begin, a continuous program of actual

on

- site construction of the source, to be completed within a reasonable time or (ii) entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss to the owner or operator, to undertake a program of construction of the source to be completed within a reasonable time.

“Construction” means any physical change or change in the method of operation (including fabrication, erection, installation, demolition, or modification of an emissions unit ) which would result in a change in emissions.

“ Continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) ” means all of the equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and availability requirements of this section, to

### 6

pollutant under its physical and operation al design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation or the affect it would have on emissions is federally enforceable. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source.

“Reviewing Authority” means Administrator of the Division of Air Quality, Wyoming Department of E nvironmental Quality.

“Secondary emissions” means emissions which would occur as a result of the construction or operation of a major stationary source or major modification, but do not come from the major stationary source or major modification itself. For the purposes of this section, secondary emissions must be specific, well defined, quantifiable, and impact the same general areas as the stationary source or modification which causes the secondary emissions.

increase of VOCs exceeds 25 tons per year.

(iii) For the purpose of applying the requirements of paragraph f(i) of this section to modifications at major stationary sources of nitrogen oxides located in an ozone nonattainment area or in an ozone transport region, the signific ant emission rates and other requirements for VOCs in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (v) of this definition shall apply to nitrogen

oxide emissions.

(iv) Notwithstanding the significant emissions rate for carbon monoxide under paragraph (i) of this definiti on, “significant” means, in reference to an emissions increase or net emissions increase, any increase in actual emissions of carbon monoxide that would result from any physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, a major stationary source in a serious area for carbon monoxide if such increase equals or exceeds 50 tons per year, provided the EPA Administrator has determined that stationary sources contribute significantly to carbon

“Temporary clean coal technology demonstration project” means a clean coal technology demonstration project that is operated for a period of 5 years or less, and which complies with the Wyoming State Implementation Plan and other requirements necessary to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards during the project and after it is

terminated.

“Volatile org anic compounds (VOCs)” is defined in Chapter 3, Section 6(a) of these regulations.

(c) Non

- attainment New Source Review (NNSR) Permit Required.

(i) New major stationary sources or major modifications to existing major stationary sources must obtain an NNSR permit before beginning actual construction if they are located in an area designated nonattainment for any national ambient air quality standard if the source is major for the pollutant for which the area is designated nonattainment.

Notwithsta nding the source category

- based exemptions set forth under Chapter 6, Section 2(k), any new major stationary facility or major stationary source undergoing a major modification under this Section will not be granted any of the Section 2(k) exemptions.

(ii) Except as provided by a PAL under paragraph (g) of this section, a proposed project is considered a major modification (as defined in the definition for “Major modification” in Section 13(b)) to an existing major source if the proposed project meets the criteria outlined in paragraphs in Section 13(c)(ii)(A) through (E) below:

(A) A project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if it causes two types of emissions increases

-- a significant emissions increase (as defined in the

defin ition for “Significant emissions increase” in Section 13(b)), and a significant net emissions increase (as defined in the definitions for “Significant emissions increase”, “Net emissions increase” and “Significant” in Section 13(b)). The project is not a m ajor modification if it does not cause a significant emissions increase. If the project causes a significant emissions increase, then the project is a major modification only if it also results in a significant net emissions

increase.

(B) The procedur e for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant emissions increase (i.e., the first step of the process) will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified, according to paragraphs (C) through (E) below.

The procedure for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant net emissions increase will occur at the major stationary source (i.e., the second step of the process)

is contained in the definition for “Net emissions increase” in Se ction 13(b). Regardless of any such preconstruction projections, a major modification results if the project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase.

(C) Actual

- to

- projected

defined in the definition for “Projected actual emi ssions” in Section 13(b)) and the baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b), as applicable), for each existing emissions unit, equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant (as de fined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b)).

(D) Actual

- to

- potential test for projects that only involve construction of a new emissions unit(s). A significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if t he sum of the difference between the potential to emit (as defined in the definition for “Potential to emit” in Section 13(b)) from each new emissions unit following completion of the project and the baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of these units before the project equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant (as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b)).

(E) Hybrid test for projects that involv e multiple types of emissions units. A significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the emissions increases for each emissions unit, using the method specified in paragraphs (C) through (D) above as appli cable with respect to each emissions unit, for each type of emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant (as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b)).

(d) NNSR Permit.

(i) Requirements for construc tion or modification of a source specified under Chapter 6, Section 2 of these regulations shall apply.

(ii) The following specific provisions apply to projects at existing emissions units at a major stationary source (other than projects at a source w ith a PAL) in circumstances where the owner or operator elects to use the method specified in paragraphs (i)(A) through (C) of the definition for “Projected actual emissions” for calculating projected actual emissions.

(A) Before beginning actual con struction of the project, the owner or operator shall document and maintain a record of the following information:

(I) A description of the project;

(II) Identification of the emissions unit(s) whose emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant could be affected by the project; and

(III) A description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for any regulated NSR pollutant, including the baseline actual emissions, the projected actual emissions, th e amount of emissions excluded under paragraph (i)(C) of the definition for “Projected actual emissions” in Section 13(b) and an explanation for why such amount was excluded, and any netting calculations, if applicable.

(B) Before beginning actual con struction, the owner or operator shall

### 6

- 17

provide the information set out in paragraph (d)(ii)(A) of this section to the Division as a Chapter 6, Section 2 permit application.

(C) The owner or operator shall monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant that could increase as a result of the project and that is emitted by any emissions unit identified in paragraph (d)(ii)(A)(II) of this section; and calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basi s, for a period of 5 years following resumption of regular operations after the change, or for a period of 10 years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project increases the design capacity or potential to emit of that regula ted NSR pollutant at such emissions unit.

(D) The owner or operator shall submit a report to the Division within 60 days after the end of each year during which records must be generated under paragraph (d)(ii)(C) of this section setting out the unit’ s annual emissions during the calendar year that preceded submission of the report.

(iii) The owner or operator of the source shall make the information required to be documented and maintained pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii) of this section available fo r review upon request for inspection by the Division or the general public pursuant to the requirements contained in 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(viii).

(iv) All requirements for construction or modification of a major source listed under 40 CFR 51, Appe ndix S, Section IV (A) shall apply. Notwithstanding the requirements of Chapter 6, Section 2(c)(v), the BACT analysis requirement is hereby superseded by the Appendix S, Section IV(A), Condition 1, LAER analysis requirement.

(v) Approval to construct does not relieve an owner or operator of the responsibility to comply with applicable provisions of this section, the Act or any other requirements under local, state or federal law.

(vi) At such time that a particular source or modification becomes a major stationary source or major modification solely by virtue of a relaxation in any enforceable limitation which was established after August 7, 1980 on the capacity of the source or modification otherwise to emit a pollutant, then all the provisions of Chapter 6, Section 2 and 13 shall apply to the source or modification as though construction had not yet commenced on the

source or modification.

(e) Determining Credit for Emission Offsets. The baseline for determining credit for

emission offsets is the emission limit in effect at the time the application to construct is filed, except that the offset baseline is the actual emission of the unit from which offset credit is obtained if the demonstration of reasonable further progress and attainment o f ambient air quality standards is based upon the actual emission of sources located within a designated nonattainment area; or if there is no applicable emission limit. In determining credit for emission offsets, the following criteria shall be met:

( i) If the emissions limit allows greater emissions than the potential to emit of the

### 6

- 18

unit, the emission offset credit is allowed only for the control below the potential to emit of the unit;

(ii) For an existing fuel combustion unit, credit shall be based on the emission limit for the type of fuel being burned at the time the application to construct is filed. If the existing source agrees to switch to a cleaner fuel at some future date, emission offset credits

based on the allowable or actual emissi ons for the fuels involved may be allowed only if permit conditions specify an alternative control measure that would achieve the same degree of

emission reduction if the source switched back to the dirtier fuel at some later date. The owner

or operator w ill submit a demonstration to ensure that adequate long

- term supplies of the new fuel are available before the Division grants emission offset credit for fuel switches;

- approved attainment plan. In addition, the shutdown or curtailed production mus t occur after August 7, 1977, or less than one year before the date of submitting the permit application, whichever is earlier. Emission reductions may be credited in the absence of a federally

- approved attainment plan if

the shutdown or curtailment occur red on or after the date the application is filed for a new unit or if the applicant can establish that the proposed new unit is a replacement for the shutdown or curtailed unit, and the shutdown or curtailment occurred after August 7, 1977, or less than o ne year before the date of submitting the permit application, whichever is earlier;

(g) Actuals Plantwide Applicability Limitations (PALs).

(i) The Division may approve the use of an actuals PAL for any existing major stationary source if the PAL meets the requirements specified in paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section.

(A) Applicability.

(I) The term “PAL” shall mean “actuals PAL” throughout subsection (g)(i). The Division will not allow an actuals PAL for VOC or NO x 

### for any major stationary source located in an extreme ozone nonattainment area.

(II) Any physical change in or chan ge in the method of operation of a major stationary source that maintains its total source

- wide emissions below the PAL level, meets the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section, and complies with the PAL permit:

(1.) Is not a major modification for the PAL pollutant;

(2.) Does not have to be approved through a Chapter 6, Section 13 permit; and

(3.) Is not subject to the provisions in paragraph (d)(vi) of this section (restrictions on relaxing enforceable emis sion limitations that the major stationary source used to avoid applicability of Chapter 6, Section 13).

### 6

- 21 (III) Except as provided under paragraph (g)(i)(A)(II)(3.) of this section, a major stationary source shall continue to comply with all applicab le Federal or State of Wyoming requirements, emission limitations, and work practice requirements that were established prior to the effective date of the PAL.

(B) Definitions. The following definitions shall be used for actuals PALs

consistent with paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O) of this section. When a term is not defined in the paragraphs below, it shall have the meaning given in paragraph (b) of this section, or in the

Act.

“Actuals PAL for a major stationary source” means a PAL based on t he baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of all emissions units (as defined in the definition for “Emission Unit” in Section 13(b)) at the source, that emit or have the potential to emit t he PAL pollutant.

“Allowable emissions” has the same meaning as in the definition for “Allowable emissions” in Section 13(b), except as this definition is modified according to paragraphs (I) and (II) of this definition.

(I) The allowable emissions for any emissions unit shall be calculated considering any emission limitations that are enforceable as a practical matter on the emissions unit’s potential to emit.

(II) An emissions unit’s potential to emit shall be de termined using the definition of “Potential to emit” in Section 13(b), except that the words “or enforceable as a practical matter” should be added after “federally enforceable”.

“Major emissions unit” means:

(I) Any emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more of the PAL pollutant in an attainment area; or

(II) Any emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit the PAL pollutant in an amount that is equal to or greater than the major source thre shold for the PAL pollutant as defined by the Act for nonattainment areas. (For example, in accordance with the definition of major stationary source in section 182(c) of the Act, an emissions unit would be a major emissions unit for VOCs if the emissions unit is located in a serious ozone nonattainment area and it emits or has the potential to emit 50 or more tons of VOCs per year.)

“PAL effective date” generally means the date of issuance of the PAL permit; however, the PAL effective date for an inc reased PAL is the date any emissions unit that is part of the PAL major modification becomes operational and begins to emit the PAL pollutant.

“PAL effective period” means the period beginning with the PAL effective date and ending 10 years later.

### 6

- 22 “PAL major modification” means, notwithstanding the definitions for “Major modification” and “Net emissions increase” in Section 13(b), any physical change in or change in the method of operation of the PAL source that causes it to emit the PAL pollutant at a level equal to or greater than the PAL.

“PAL permit” means the Chapter 6, Section 2 and Section 13 permit issued by the Division that establishes a PAL for a major stationary source.

“PAL pollutant” means the pollutant for which a PAL is est ablished at a major stationary source.

“Plantwide applicability limitation (PAL)” means an emission limitation expressed in tons per year, for a pollutant at a major stationary source, that is enforceable as a practical matter and established source

- w ide in accordance with paragraphs (g)(i)(A) through (O)

of this section.

“Significant emissions unit” means an emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit a PAL pollutant in an amount that is equal to or greater than the significant level ( as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b) or in the Act, whichever is lower) for that PAL pollutant, but less than the amount that would qualify the unit as a “Major

emissions unit” as defined in this section.

“Small emissions un it” means an emissions unit that emits or has the potential to emit the PAL pollutant in an amount less than the significant level for that PAL pollutant, as defined in the definition for “Significant” in Section 13(b) or in the Act, whichever

is lower.

(C) Permit Application Requirements. As part of a permit application requesting a PAL, the owner or operator of a major stationary source shall submit the following information in paragraphs (g)(i)(C)(I) through (III) of this section to the Division f or approval:

(I) A list of all emissions units at the source designated as small, significant or major based on their potential to emit. In addition, the owner or operator of the source shall indicate which, if any, Federal or State of Wyoming appl icable requirements, emission limitations, or work practices apply to each unit;

(II) Calculations of the baseline actual emissions (with supporting documentation). Baseline actual emissions are to include emissions associated not only with operation of the unit, but also emissions associated with startup, shutdown, and malfunction; and

(III) The calculation procedures that the major stationary source owner or operator proposes to use to convert the monitoring system data to monthly emi ssions

and annual emissions based on a 12

- month rolling total for each month as required by paragraph (g)(i)(M)(I) of this section.

(D) General Requirements for Establishing PALs.

### 6

- 23 (I) The Division may establish a PAL at a major stationary sour ce, provided that at a minimum, the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(D)(I)(1.) through (7.) of this

section are met.

(1.) The PAL shall impose an annual emission limitation in tons per year, that is enforceable as a practical matter, for the entir e major stationary source. For each month during the PAL effective period after the first 12 months of establishing a PAL, the major stationary source owner or operator shall show that the sum of the monthly emissions from

each emissions unit under the PA L for the previous 12 consecutive months is less than the PAL (a 12

- month average, rolled monthly). For each month during the first 11 months from the PAL effective date, the major stationary source owner or operator shall show that the sum of the precedi ng monthly emissions from the PAL effective date for each emissions unit under the PAL

is less than the PAL.

(2.) The PAL shall be established in a PAL permit that meets the public participation requirements in paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(3.) The PAL permit shall contain all the requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(G) of this section.

(4.) The PAL shall include fugitive emissions, to the extent quantifiable, from all emissions units that emit or have the potential to emit the PA L pollutant at the major stationary source.

(5.) Each PAL shall regulate emissions of only one pollutant.

(6.) Each PAL shall have a PAL effective period of 10

years.

(7.) The owner or operator of the major stationary source

with a P AL shall comply with the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements provided in paragraphs (g)(i)(L) through (N) of this section for each emissions unit under the PAL through the PAL effective period.

(II) At no time (during or after the PAL effective period) are emissions reductions of a PAL pollutant that occur during the PAL effective period creditable as decreases for purposes of offsets under paragraph (e) of this section unless the level of the P AL is reduced by the amount of such emissions reductions and such reductions would be creditable

in the absence of the PAL.

(E) Public Participation Requirements for PALs. PALs for existing major stationary sources shall be established, renewed, or increased, through a procedure that is consistent with Chapter 6, Section 2. This includes the requirement that the Division provide the public with notice of the proposed approval of a PAL permit and at least a 30

- day period for

### 6

- 24

submittal of public comme nt. The Division must address all material comments before taking final action on the permit.

(F) Setting the 10

- Year Actuals PAL Level.

(I) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(i)(F)(II) of this section, the actuals PAL level for a major stationary source shall be established as the sum of the baseline actual emissions (as defined in the definition for “Baseline actual emissions” in Section 13(b)) of the PAL pollutant for each emissions unit at the source; plus an amount equal to the appli cable significant level for the PAL pollutant under the definition of “Significant” in Section 13(b) or under the Act, whichever is lower. When establishing the actuals PAL level, for a PAL pollutant, only one consecutive 24

- month period must be used to de termine the baseline actual emissions for all existing emissions units; however, a different consecutive 24

- month period may be used for each different PAL pollutant. Emissions associated with units that were permanently shut

down after this 24

- month peri od must be subtracted from the PAL level. The Division shall specify a reduced PAL level(s) (in tons/yr) in the PAL permit to become effective on the future compliance date(s) of any applicable Federal or State of Wyoming regulatory requirement(s) that

th e Division is aware of prior to issuance of the PAL permit. For instance, if the source owner or operator will be required to reduce emissions from industrial boilers in half from baseline emissions of 60 ppm NO x 

### to a new rule limit of 30 ppm, then the pe rmit shall contain a future effective PAL level that is equal to the current PAL level reduced by half of the original baseline emissions of such unit(s).

(II) For newly constructed units (which do not include modifications to existing units) on whi ch actual construction began after the 24

- month period, in lieu of adding the baseline actual emissions as specified in paragraph (g)(i)(F)(I) of this section, the emissions must be added to the PAL level in an amount equal to the potential to emit of the

units.

(G) Contents of the PAL Permit. The PAL permit shall contain, at a minimum, the information in paragraphs (g)(i)(G)(I) through (X) of this section.

(I) The PAL pollutant and the applicable source

- wide emission limitation in tons per year ;

(II) The PAL permit effective date and the expiration date of the PAL (PAL effective period);

(III) Specification in the PAL permit that if a major stationary source owner or operator applies to renew a PAL in accordance with paragraph (g)(i )(J) of this section before the end of the PAL effective period, then the PAL shall not expire at the end of the PAL effective period. It shall remain in effect until a revised PAL permit is issued by the Division;

(IV) A requirement that emission calculations for compliance purposes include emissions from startups, shutdowns and malfunctions;

### 6

- 25 (V) A requirement that, once the PAL expires, the major stationary source is subject to the requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(I) of this section;

(V I) The calculation procedures that the major stationary source owner or operator shall use to convert the monitoring system data to monthly emissions and

annual emissions based on a 12

- month rolling total for each month as required by paragraph (g)(i)(C)( III) of this section;

(VII) A requirement that the major stationary source owner or operator monitor all emissions units in accordance with the provisions under paragraph (g)(i)(M) of this section;

(VIII) A requirement to retain the records re quired under paragraph (g)(i)(M) of this section on site. Such records may be retained in an electronic format;

(IX) A requirement to submit the reports required under paragraph (g)(i)(N) of this section by the required deadlines; and

(X) An y other requirements that the Division deems necessary to implement and enforce the PAL.

(H) PAL Effective Period and Reopening of the PAL Permit.

(I) PAL Effective Period. The PAL effective period shall be 10

years.

(II) Reopening of the PAL Permit.

(1.) During the PAL effective period, the Division shall reopen the PAL permit to:

a. Correct typographical/calculation errors made in setting the PAL or reflect a more accurate determination of emissions used to establish the PAL;

b. Reduce the PAL if the owner or operator of the major stationary source creates creditable emissions reductions for use as offsets under Section 13(e); and

c. Revise the PAL to reflect an increase in the PAL

a s provided under paragraph (g)(i)(K) of this section.

(2.) The Division may reopen the PAL permit for the following:

a. Reduce the PAL to reflect newly applicable

### 6

- 26

Federal requirements (for example, NSPS) with compliance dates after the PAL effective date;

b. Reduce the PAL consistent with any other requirement, that is enforceable as a practical matter, and that the Division may impose on the major stationary source; and

c. Reduce the PAL if the Division determines that a reduction is necessary to avoid causing or contributing to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation, or to an adverse impact on an AQRV that has been identified for a Federal Class I Area by a Federal Land Manager and for which information is available to the ge neral public.

(3.) Except for the permit reopening in paragraph (g)(i)(H)(II)(1.)a. of this section for the correction of typographical/calculation errors that do not increase the PAL level, all reopenings shall be carried out in accordance with th e public participation requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(I) Expiration of a PAL. Any PAL that is not renewed in accordance with the procedures in paragraph (g)(i)(J) of this section shall expire at the end of the PAL effective

pe riod, and the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(I)(I) through (V) of this section shall apply.

(I) Each emissions unit (or each group of emissions units) that existed under the PAL shall comply with an allowable emission limitation under a revised pe rmit established according to the procedures in paragraphs (g)(i)(I)(I)(1.) and (2.) of this section.

(1.) Within the time frame specified for PAL renewals in paragraph (g)(i)(J)(II) of this section, the major stationary source shall submit a propo sed allowable emission limitation for each emissions unit (or each group of emissions units, if such a distribution is more appropriate as decided by the Division) by distributing the PAL

- allowable emissions for the major stationary source among each of th e emissions units that existed under the PAL. If the PAL had not yet been adjusted for an applicable requirement that became effective during the PAL effective period, as required under paragraph (g)(i)(J)(V) of this section, such distribution shall be ma de as if the PAL had been adjusted.

(2.) The Division shall decide whether and how the PAL

allowable emissions will be distributed and issue a revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as the Division determines is appropriate.

(II) Each emissions unit(s) shall comply with the allowable

emission limitation on a 12

- month rolling basis. The Division may approve the use of monitoring systems (source testing, emission factors, etc.) other than CEMS, CERMS, PEMS or

CPMS to demonstra te compliance with the allowable emission limitation.

(III) Until the Division issues the revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as required under paragraph (g)(i)(I)(I)(2.) of this s ection, the source shall continue to comply with a source

- wide,

### 6

- 27

multi

- unit emissions cap equivalent to the level of the PAL emission limitation.

(IV) Any physical change or change in the method of operation at the major stationary source will be sub ject to Chapter 6, Section 13 requirements if such change meets the definition of “Major modification” in Section 13(b).

(V) The major stationary source owner or operator shall continue to comply with any State of Wyoming or Federal applicable requi rements (BACT, RACT, NSPS, etc.) that may have applied either during the PAL effective period or prior to the PAL effective period except for those emission limitations that had been established pursuant to paragraph (d)(vi) of this section, but were elimi nated by the PAL in accordance with the provisions in paragraph (g)(i)(A)(II)(3.) of this section.

(J) Renewal of a PAL.

(I) The Division shall follow the procedures specified in paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section in approving any request to renew a PAL for a major stationary source, and shall provide both the proposed PAL level and a written rationale for the proposed PAL level to the public for review and comment. During such public review, any person may propose a

PAL level for the source for consideration by the Division.

(II) Application Deadline. A major stationary source owner or operator shall submit a timely application to the Division to request renewal of a PAL. A timely application is one that is submitted at least 6 month s prior to, but not earlier than 18 months from, the date of permit expiration. This deadline for application submittal is to ensure that the permit will not expire before the permit is renewed. If the owner or operator of a major stationary source submi ts a complete application to renew the PAL within this time period, then the PAL shall continue to be effective until the revised permit with the renewed PAL is issued.

(III) Application Requirements. The application to renew a PAL permit shall cont ain the information required in paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(III)(1.) through (4.) of this

section.

(1.) The information required in paragraphs (g)(i)(C)(I) through (III) of this section;

(2.) A proposed PAL level;

(3.) The sum of the poten tial to emit of all emissions units under the PAL (with supporting documentation); and

(4.) Any other information the owner or operator wishes the Division to consider in determining the appropriate level for renewing the PAL.

(IV) PAL Adjus tment. In determining whether and how to adjust the PAL, the Division shall consider the options outlined in paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(IV)(1.) and (2.)

### 6

- 28

of this section; however, in no case may any such adjustment fail to comply with paragraph (g)(i)(J)(IV)(3.) of this section.

(1.) If the emissions level calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(i)(F) of this section is equal to or greater than 80 percent of the PAL level, the Division may renew the PAL at the same level without considering the factor s set forth in paragraph (g)(i)(J)(IV)(2.) of this section; or

(2.) The Division may set the PAL at a level that it determines to be more representative of the source’s baseline actual emissions, or that it determines to be appropriate considering air quality needs, advances in control technology, anticipated economic growth in the area, desire to reward or encourage the source’s voluntary emissions reductions, or other factors as specifically identified by the Division in its written

rationale.

(3.) Notwithstanding paragraphs (g)(i)(J)(IV)(1.) and (2.)

of this section:

a. If the potential to emit of the major stationary source is less than the PAL, the Division shall adjust the PAL to a level no greater than the potential to emit of the source; and

b. The Division shall not approve a renewed PAL level higher than the current PAL, unless the major stationary source has complied with the provisions of paragraph (g)(i)(K) of this section (increasing a PAL).

(V) If the comp liance date for a State of Wyoming or Federal requirement that applies to the PAL source occurs during the PAL effective period, and if the Division has not already adjusted for such requirement, the PAL shall be adjusted at the time of PAL permit renewal or Chapter 6, Section 3 operating permit renewal, whichever occurs first.

(K) Increasing a PAL During the PAL Effective Period.

(I) The Division may increase a PAL emission limitation only if the major stationary source complies with the provi sions in paragraphs (g)(i)(K)(I)(1.) through (4.) of this section.

(1.) The owner or operator of the major stationary source shall submit a complete application to request an increase in the PAL limit for a PAL major modification. Such application shall identify the emissions unit(s) contributing to the increase in emissions so as to cause the major stationary source’s emissions to equal or exceed its PAL.

(2.) As part of this application, the major stationary source owner or operator shall demonstrate that the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the small emissions units, plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the significant and major emissions units assuming application of BACT equivalent controls, plus the sum of the allowa ble

### 6

- 29

emissions of the new or modified emissions unit(s), exceeds the PAL. The level of control that would result from BACT equivalent controls on each significant or major emissions unit shall be determined by conducting a new BACT analysis at the time the application is submitted, unless the emissions unit is currently required to comply with a BACT or LAER requirement that was established within the preceding 10 years. In such a case, the assumed control level for that emissions unit shall be equal to th e level of BACT or LAER with which that emissions unit must currently comply.

(3.) The owner or operator obtains a Chapter 6, Section 4 permit for all emissions unit(s) identified in paragraph (g)(i)(K)(I)(1.) of this section, regardless of the magn itude of the emissions increase resulting from them (that is, no significant levels apply). These emissions unit(s) shall comply with any emissions requirements resulting from the Chapter 6, Section 13 process (for example, LAER), even though they have al so become subject to the PAL or continue to be subject to the PAL.

(4.) The PAL permit shall require that the increased PAL level shall be effective on the day any emissions unit that is part of the PAL major modification becomes operational and be gins to emit the PAL pollutant.

(II) The Division shall calculate the new PAL as the sum of the allowable emissions for each modified or new emissions unit, plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the significant and major emissions units ( assuming application of BACT equivalent controls as determined in accordance with paragraph (g)(i)(K)(I)(2.) of this section), plus the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the small emissions units.

(III) The PAL permit shall be revised to refle ct the increased PAL level pursuant to the public notice requirements of paragraph (g)(i)(E) of this section.

(L) Monitoring Requirements for PALs.

(I) General Requirements.

(1.) Each PAL permit must contain enforceable requirements for the monitoring system that accurately determines plantwide emissions of the PAL pollutant in terms of mass per unit of time. Any monitoring system authorized for use in the PAL permit must be based on sound science and meet generally acceptable scientifi c procedures for data quality and manipulation. Additionally, the information generated by such system must meet minimum legal requirements for admissibility in a judicial proceeding to enforce the PAL permit.

(2.) The PAL monitoring system must em ploy one or more of the four general monitoring approaches meeting the minimum requirements set forth in paragraphs (g)(i)(L)(II)(1.) through (4.) of this section and must be approved by the Division.

(3.) Notwithstanding paragraph (g)(i)(L)(I)(2.) of this section, an alternative monitoring approach that meets paragraph (g)(i)(L)(I)(1.) of this section

### 6

- 30

may be employed if approved by the Division.

(4.) Failure to use a monitoring system that meets the requirements of this section renders the PA L invalid.

(II) Minimum Performance Requirements for Approved Monitoring Approaches. The following are acceptable general monitoring approaches when conducted in accordance with the minimum requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(L)(III) through (IX) of this section:

(1.) Mass balance calculations for activities using coatings or solvents;

(2.) CEMS;

(3.) CPMS or PEMS; and

(4.) Emission factors.

(III) Mass Balance Calculations. An owner or operator using

mass balance cal culations to monitor PAL pollutant emissions from activities using coating or solvents shall meet the following requirements:

(1.) Provide a demonstrated means of validating the published content of the PAL pollutant that is contained in or created by all materials used in or at the emissions unit;

(2.) Assume that the emissions unit emits all of the PAL pollutant that is contained in or created by any raw material or fuel used in or at the emissions unit, if it cannot otherwise be accounted f or in the process; and

(3.) Where the vendor of a material or fuel, which is used in or at the emissions unit, publishes a range of pollutant content from such material, the owner or operator must use the highest value of the range to calculate the PAL pollutant emissions

unless the Division determines there is site

- specific data or a site

- specific monitoring program to support another content within the range.

(IV) CEMS. An owner or operator using CEMS to monitor PAL pollutant emissions shall meet the following requirements:

(1.) CEMS must comply with applicable Performance Specifications found in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix B; and

(2.) CEMS must sample, analyze, and record data at least every 15 minutes while the emissions unit is operating.

### 6

- 31 (V) CPMS or PEMS. An owner or operator using CPMS or PEMS to monitor PAL pollutant emissions shall meet the following requirements:

(1.) The CPMS or the PEMS must be based on current

site

- specific data demonstrating a correlation between the monitored parameter(s) and the PAL pollutant emissions across the range of operation of the emissions unit; and

(2.) Each CPMS or PEM S must sample, analyze, and record data at least every 15 minutes, or at another less frequent interval approved by the Division, while the emissions unit is operating.

(VI) Emission Factors. An owner or operator using emission

factors to monitor P AL pollutant emissions shall meet the following requirements:

(1.) All emission factors shall be adjusted, if appropriate, to account for the degree of uncertainty or limitations in the factors’ development;

(2.) The emissions unit shall ope rate within the designated range of use for the emission factor, if applicable; and

(3.) If technically practicable, the owner or operator of a significant emissions unit that relies on an emission factor to calculate PAL pollutant emissions

shall conduct validation testing to determine a site

- specific emission factor within 6 months of PAL permit issuance, unless the Division determines that testing is not required.

(VII) A source owner or operator must record and report maximum potential em issions without considering enforceable emission limitations or operational restrictions for an emissions unit during any period of time that there is no monitoring data, unless another method for determining emissions during such periods is specified in t he PAL permit.

(VIII) Notwithstanding the requirements in paragraphs (g)(i)(L)(III) through (VII) of this section, where an owner or operator of an emissions unit cannot demonstrate a correlation between the monitored parameter(s) and the PAL polluta nt emissions rate at all operating points of the emissions unit, the Division shall, at the time of permit issuance:

(1.) Establish default value(s) for determining compliance with the PAL based on the highest potential emissions reasonably estimat ed at such operating point(s); or

(2.) Determine that operation of the emissions unit during operating conditions when there is no correlation between monitored parameter(s) and the PAL pollutant emissions is a violation of the PAL.

(IX) Re

- v alidation. All data used to establish the PAL pollutant

### 6

- 32

must be re
