available technology can be found in Ohio Revised Code 3704.01(F) and is defined as: II Best Available Control Technology" means an emissions limitation (including a visible 

emissions standard) based upon the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant subject to regulation under the glean ~ir ~ct which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the director, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs, 

determines is achievable for such major stationary source or major modification through 

application of production processes or available methods, systems and techniques, 

including fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. 

xx yes no

need to be submitted, one completed version with all the information requested 

and one "sanitized version containing all information requested except that 

information upon which a trade secret claim is being made. 

n. Emissions Activity Category Forms: 

The appropriate Emissions Activity Category (EAC) form(s) must be completed 

and attached for each emission unit. At least one complete EAC form must be 

submitted for each emission unit for the application to be considered complete.

available technology can be found in Ohio Revised Code 3704.01(F) and is defined as: 

"Best Available Control Technology" means an emissions limitation (including a visible 

emissions standard) based upon the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant subject to regulation under the glean ~ir ~ct which would be emitted from any proposed 

major stationary source or major modification which the director, on a case-by-case 

basis, taking ih~o account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs, 

determines is achievable for such major stationary source or major modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems and techniques, 

including fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant.

A new or modified solid waste disposal facility. 

Note: Complete all questions on pages x through xx for all types of sources/facilities 

checked above. In addition complete the following: 

If the application is for a source of air contaminants or a solid waste disposal facility, will the activity or facility (or any associated pollution control, 

equipment) result in or potentially result in the creation and discharge of wastewater 

or the pollution of surface water or ground water? yes XX no 

If yes, explain _______________________________________________________________ ___ 

If the application is for a solid waste disposal facility, a disposal system, the land 

application of sludge, or a public water system, will the activity or facility result 

in or potentially result in the creation of any air contaminants? yes XX no 

If yes, explain ______________________________________________________________ ___ 

Will the activity or facility that you propose in your application result in or require the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste? yes XX no 

If yes, explain _______________________________________________________________ ___

existing source/facility, reconstruction of an existing source/facility, or startup of 

a source/facility that has been permanently shutdown for year? 

This emission unit has been in operation prior to this application. The application for 

the PTI/PTO had been inadvertently overlooked. 

3. Has a previous Ohio EPA application or plan submission been filed for this 

source/facility? If so, state the date and type of application previously submitted.

If so, answer yes and list the rule citations. 

7. Will the proposed emissions units employ best available technology (BAT)? This is 

required under Ohio Administrative Code 3745-31-05(A)(3). The definition of best 

available technology can be found in Ohio Revised Code 3704.01(F) and is defined as: 

"Best Available Control Technology" means an emissions limitation (including a visible 

emissions standard) based upon the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant subject to regulation under the £lean ~ir ~ct which would be emitted from any proposed 

major stationary source or major modification which the director, on a case-by-case basis, taking irtto account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs, 

determines is achievable for such major stationary source or major modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems and techniques, including fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. 

xx yes no 

8. Will the proposed emissions unit/facility comply with all rules, laws, and regulations of the Ohio EPA and U.S. EPA? XX yes no 

9. Will the proposed sources cause the significant degradation of air quality? 

yes XX no 

10. Will the proposed sources interfere with the attainment and maintenance of the ambient 

air quality standards? yes xx no 

11. Describe any emissions unit monitoring, emission monitoring, or control equipment monitoring devices to be installed by the applicant which are not already described in
