3.3 Minor permit amendment In accordance with ARSD 74:36:05:38, the Secretary has 90 days from receipt of a written notice or 15 days after the end of EPA's 45-day review period, whichever is later, to take final action on a minor permit amendment. Final action cons ists of issuing or denying a minor permit amendment or determining the proposed change is a permit modification. As provided in ARSD 74:36:05:35, the Secretary consider s a proposed change to be a minor permit amendment if the proposed change:

1. Does not violate any applicable requirements;

2. Does not involve significant changes to existing monitori ng, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements;

3. Does not require or change a case-by-case de termination of an emission limit or other standard, a source-specific determination for te mporary sources of ambient impacts, or a visibility or increment analysis; or

4. Does not seek to establish or change a perm it term or condition for which the source has assumed to avoid an applicable requirement, a federally enforceable emission cap, or an alternative emission limit. An alternative emission limit is approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under section 112( i)(5) of the federal Clean Air Act.5 3.4 Permit modification In accordance with ARSD 74:36:05:39, an owner or operator may apply for a permit modification. A permit modificati on is defined in ARSD 74:36:01: 10 as a physical change in or change in the operation of a source that results in at least one of the following:

1. An increase in the amount of an air polluta nt emitted by the sour ce or results in the emission of an air pollutant not previously emitted;

2. A significant change to existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements in the permit;

3. The change requires or change s a case-by-case determina tion of an emission limit or other standard, a source-specific determinati on for temporary sources of ambient impacts, or a visibility or increment analysis; or

4. The change seeks to establish or change a permit term or condition for which there is a corresponding underlying applicable requirement that the source has assumed to avoid an applicable requirement, a federally enfo rceable emissions cap assumed to avoid classification as a modification under a provision of the Title I of the Clean Air Act, or an alternative emissions limit approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act.

Permit modifications are subject to the same procedural requirements, including public comment, as the original permit issuance excep t the required review shall cover only the proposed changes.

3.5 Permit revision In accordance with ARSD 74:36:05:40, the Secretary may reopen and revise this permit to meet requirements of SDCL 34A-1 or the federal Clean Air Act. In accordance with ARSD 74:36:05:41, the Secretary shall no tify the owner or operator at least 30 days before reopening this permit. The 30-day period may be less in the case of an emergency.

3.6 Testing new fuels or raw materials In accordance with ARSD 74:36:11:04, an owner or operator may request permission to test a new fuel or raw material to determine if it is compatible with existing equipment before requesting a permit amendment or modification. A complete test proposal shall consist of the following:

1. A written proposal describing the new fuel or raw material, operating parameters, and parameters that will be monitored and any te sting associated with air pollutant emissions during the test;

2. An estimate of the type and amount of regulat ed air pollutant emissions resulting from the proposed change; and

3. The proposed schedule for conducting the test. In most cases the owner or operator will be

allowed to test for a maximum of one week. A request for a test period longer than one week will need additional justification. A test period shall not exceed 180 days.6 The Secretary shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny in writing the test proposal within 45 days after receiving a complete proposal. Approval conditions may include changing the test schedule or pollutant sampling a nd analysis methods. Pollutant sampling and analysis methods may include, but are not limited to performan ce testing, visible emission evaluation, fuel analysis, dispersion modeling, and monitori ng of raw material or fuel rates.

If the Secretary determines the proposed change will result in an increase in the emission of a regulated air pollutant or result in the emission of an addition al regulated air pollutant, the Secretary shall give public notice of the proposed test for 30 days. The Secretary shall consider all comments received during the 30-day public comment period before making a final decision

on the test.

The Secretary will not approve a test if the test would cause or contribute to a violation of a national ambient air quality standard.

relevant standard based on the concentration of a pollutant in the efflue nt discharged to the atmosphere.11 6.6 Minimizing emissions In accordance with ARSD 74:36:08:03, as referen ced to 40 CFR § 63.6(e)(1)(i), the owner or operator shall at all times, in cluding periods of startup, shut down, and malfunction, operate and maintain any permitted unit, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safe ty and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. During a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, th is general duty to minimize emissions requires the owner or operator to reduce emissions from the permitted unit to the greatest extent which is consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices. The general duty to minimize emissions during a peri od of startup, shutdown, or malfunction does not require the owner or operator to achieve emission le vels that would be requ ired by the applicable

standard at other times if this is not consistent with safety a nd good air pollution control practices, nor does it require the owner or ope rator to make any further effort s to reduce emissions if levels required by the applicable standard have been ac hieved. Determination of whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the Secretary which may include, but is not limited to, monitori ng results, review of operation and maintenance procedures (including a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, if required), review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the operation.

### 10.0 PREVENTION OF SIGN IFICANT DETERIORIATION

EXEMPTION

10.1 Prevention of significant deterioration review exemption The owner or operator is exempt from a prevention of significant de terioration review for nitrogen oxides. The exemption is due to the nitrogen oxide air emission limit in permit condition 10.2 and the operational limit in permit condition 10.3. Any relaxation in the nitrogen oxide air emission limit that increases emissions equa l to or greater than 238 tons per 12-month rolling period will require a full prevention of significant deterioration review as though construction had not

commenced on the source.32 10.2 Plant wide nitrogen oxide limit In accordance with ARSD 74:36:05:16.01(8), the owner or operator shall not emit into the ambient air greater than or equal to 238 tons of nitr ogen oxide per 12-month ro lling period. The 12-month rolling total shall be calculated every month usin g that month’s value and the previous 11 months’

values.

A short term limit (pounds per hour is established in Table 10-1 to ensure that the long term limit of 238 tons per 12-month roll ing period is not exceeded.
