Authority

This permit, developed in accordance with the provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-500 et seq., 

“Operating Permit,” meets the requirements of K.A.R. 28-19-510 et seq., “Class 1 Operating 

Permits” and Title V of the federal Clean Air Act.

Permit Intent

The purpose of this Class 1 Air Operating Permit is to identify the emission sources, types of 

regulated air pollutants emitted from the facility, the emission limitations, standards and 

requirements applicable to each emission source, and the monitoring, record keeping and 

reporting requirements applicable to each source as of the effective date of this permit. At the 

time of permit issuance, a class I operating permit was required because the facility’s 

potential-to-emit for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) 

was over the major source threshold of 100 tons per year for VOC emissions, 10 tons per year for 

individual HAP emissions, and 25 tons per year for combined HAP emissions. This facility is 

located in Leavenworth County, Kansas.

The allowable emission rate in lb/106 Btu for indirect heating equipment with total heat 

input less than ten (10) million Btu/hr is 0.6 lb/106 Btu.

Monitoring

Due to potentially very low or nonexistent emissions, no monitoring is required at time of 

permit issuance. If, however, any factors change that would affect the potential 

particulate matter emission rate (process changes, emission factor increases, fuel changes, 

etc.), the potential particulate matter emission rate must be recalculated and evaluated 

against the rule limitation.

Record Keeping and Reporting

No recordkeeping is required at time of permit issuance. If, however, any factors change 

that would affect the potential particulate matter emission rate, records shall be 

maintained of any recalculations and evaluations. These records shall include the design 

rate capacity of the unit, emission factors used in calculations and potential/allowable 

emission rates.

2. Limitation or Standard

Opacity shall not exceed 20 percent except as provided at K.A.R. 28-19-11 [K.A.R. 

28-19-31(b)(2)]

Monitoring

Due to potentially very low or nonexistent emissions, no monitoring is required at the 

time of permit issuance. If the operation changes such that the visible emissions are no 

longer very low or non existent, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements 

stated in the “Opacity Monitoring” section.

services the MVAC is currently certified pursuant to a program satisfying the 

requirements of 40 CFR 82.40.
Παγε 18 οφ 27

Regarding any device (except a MVAC) belonging to or located at the facility which 

contains a class I or class II substance as a refrigerant and which is used for household or 

commercial purposes, including any air conditioner, refrigerator, chiller, or freezer, the 

permittee shall ensure that any person who maintains, services, or repairs the device is 

able to produce proof of certification in accordance with 40 CFR 82.161.

Regarding any device (except a MVAC, small appliance, or room air conditioner) 

belonging to or located at the facility which contains a class I or class II substance as a 

refrigerant and which is used for household or commercial purposes, the permittee shall 

ensure that any person who disposes of the device is able to produce proof of certification 

in accordance with 40 CFR 82.161.

Opacity Monitoring

“Facilities are required to perform qualitative opacity assessment as identified in the 

applicable requirements section of this permit.” Qualitative opacity assessments will be 

conducted for processes or other operations which are subject to an opacity standard and 

which are operating.

The person responsible for making qualitative opacity assessments must be 

knowledgeable about the effects on visibility of emissions caused by background contrast, 

ambient lighting, observer position relative to lighting, wind, and the presence of 

uncombined water.

The records kept of qualitative opacity assessments shall include the time and date 

assessment occurred, whether emissions appeared normal, a description of the emission 

point from which any unusual emissions emanated, steps taken to correct any abnormal 

emissions and the name of the person conducting the assessment plus information 

required under the Testing, Monitoring, Record keeping and Reporting section of this 

permit.

1. For each emission point, qualitative opacity assessments shall occur at least once 

per calendar month except as described below, with at least one week between 

qualifying readings. For each emission point from which visible emissions are 

observed during normal operations which appear to exceed the relevant standard, 

assessments shall occur at the frequency specified in paragraph 2 below.

2. For each emission point from which visible emissions appear to have exceeded 

the relevant standard during normal operations, qualitative opacity assessments 

must occur at least once each day for a period of ten consecutive operating days. 

The ten day period shall commence the first operating day after the perceived 
Παγε 19 οφ 27

exceedance occurs. If an exceedance appears to occur during the ten consecutive 

day assessment period, a new ten consecutive assessment day period shall 

commence. After a ten operating day assessment period has been completed 

without an exceedance appearing to have been observed, assessments shall occur 

at the frequency specified in paragraph 1.

Perceived exceedances of opacity standards in paragraphs one and two are not considered 

to be deviations subject to reporting in accordance with the Reporting of Deviations from 

Permit Terms portion of this permit. 

Some emission points subject to opacity requirements may be identified as not requiring 

monitoring due to “potentially very low or nonexistent visible emissions.” Heaters 

burning refinery gas at refineries, degreasing operations, painting operations which filter 

particulate emissions, non-heat set printing operations, other non-heat set evaporative 

VOC sources, petroleum product storage tanks, glycol dehydrators and sources which are 

vented inside a building which is usually occupied may be presumed to be in 

compliance with any opacity limit of 20% or greater. Burners in indirect heating 

applications, space heaters, turbines, internal combustion engines or boilers may be 

presumed to be in compliance with any opacity limit of 20% or greater when burning 

natural gas or propane/LPG. Opacity increases as particulate content of emissions 

increase. The particulate content of emissions from burning natural gas or propane/LPG 

is small and the particulate content of emissions from the evaporation of volatile organic 

compounds is zero. Particulate emissions inside an occupied building must be small to 

protect the health of the occupants. The possibility of emissions from these types of 

sources exceeding an opacity of 20% is therefore “potentially very low or nonexistent”. 

If an operation in one of the above categories changes such that visible emissions are no 

longer “very low or nonexistent”, the owner or operator shall apply for the appropriate 

permit or approval in accordance with K.A.R. 28-19-300 and commence appropriate 

qualitative opacity assessments pursuant to the above schedule. If a permit or approval is 

not required by K.A.R. 28-19-300 the owner or operator shall notify KDHE within thirty 

days of the change in operations and commence appropriate qualitative opacity 

assessments pursuant to the above schedule.

Παγε 24 οφ 27

7. Compliance

The owner or operator shall comply with all conditions of the permit and shall continue to 

comply with applicable requirements with which the owner or operator is in compliance. 

Any permit noncompliance shall constitute a violation of the Kansas Air Quality Act and 

shall be grounds for enforcement action, for permit revocation or amendment, or for denial of

status of the source. Any document required to be submitted in accordance with this permit 

shall be certified by a responsible official. The certification shall state that, based on 

information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the statements and information in the 

certification are true, accurate and complete.

9. Emergency

a. An “emergency” means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable 

events beyond the control of the source, including acts of God, which situation requires 

immediate corrective action to restore normal operation, and that causes the source to 

exceed a technology-based emission limitation under this permit, due to unavoidable 

increases in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include 

noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of 

preventative maintenance, improper operation or operator error.

b. An emergency shall constitute an affirmative defense to an action brought for 

noncompliance with such technology-based emission limitation if the conditions of 
Παγε 25 οφ 27

paragraph (c) below are met.

c. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed, 

contemporaneous operating logs or relevant evidence that:

i. an emergency occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause or causes of the 

emergency;

ii. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;

iii. during the period of the emergency the permittee took all reasonable steps to 

minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the emission standards or other 

requirements in the permit; and

iv. the permittee submitted notice of the emergency, containing a description of the 

emergency, any steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken, to 

KDHE within two working days of the time when emission limitations were 

exceeded due to the emergency.

d. In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an 

emergency shall have the burden of proof.

e. These emergency provisions are in addition to any emergency or upset provisions 

contained in any applicable requirement. Whenever these emergency provisions conflict 

with the provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-11, these emergency provisions shall control.
