14. Operational Flexibility

The permittee is authorized to make the changes identified in OAC rule 3745-77-07(H)(1)(a) to (H)(1)(c)

within the permitted stationary source without obtaining a permit revision, if such change is not a modification

under any provision of Title I of the Act [as defined in OAC rule 3745-77-01(JJ)], and does not result in an

exceedance of the emissions allowed under this permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of emissions or in

terms of total emissions), and the permittee provides the Administrator of the U.S. EPA and the appropriate

Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency with written notification within a minimum of seven days in advance

of the proposed changes, unless the change is associated with, or in response to, emergency conditions. If less

than seven days notice is provided because of a need to respond more quickly to such emergency conditions,

the permittee shall provide notice to the Administrator of the U.S. EPA and the appropriate District Office of

the Ohio EPA or local air agency as soon as possible after learning of the need to make the change. The

notification shall contain the items required under OAC rule 3745-77-07(H)(2)(d).

15. Emergencies

The permittee shall have an affirmative defense of emergency to an action brought for noncompliance with

technology-based emission limitations if the conditions of OAC rule 3745-77-07(G)(3) are met. This

emergency defense provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any applicable

requirement.

16. Off Permit Changes

The owner or operator of a Title V source may make any change in its operations or emissions

at the source that is not specifically addressed or prohibited in the Title V permit, without

obtaining an amendment or modification of the permit, provided that the following conditions

are met:

a. The change does not result in conditions that violate any applicable requirements or that violate any

existing federally enforceable permit term or condition;

b. The permittee provides contemporaneous written notice of the change to the director and the

administrator, except that no such notice shall be required for changes that qualify as insignificant

emission levels or activities as defined in OAC rule 3745-77-01(U). Such written notice shall describe

each such change, the date of such change, any change in emissions or pollutants emitted, and any

federally applicable requirement that would apply as a result of the change;

c. The change shall not qualify for the permit shield under OAC rule 3745-77-07(F);

d. The permittee shall keep a record describing all changes made at the source that result in emissions of a

regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable requirement, but not otherwise regulated under the

permit, and the emissions resulting from those changes; and 

e. The change is not subject to any applicable requirement under Title IV of the Act or is not a

modification under any provision of Title I of the Act.
Final Title V Permit - General Terms and Conditions Page 7

Paragraph (I) of rule 3745-77-07 of the Administrative Code applies only to modification or amendment of

the permittee's Title V permit. The change made may require a permit to install under Chapter 3745-31 of the

Administrative Code if the change constitutes a modification as defined in that Chapter. Nothing in paragraph

(I) of rule 3745-77-07 of the Administrative Code shall affect any applicable obligation under Chapter 3745-
