17.8.822 AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS 

(1) Any application for a permit pursuant to this subchapter shall contain an 

analysis of ambient air quality in the area that the emissions from the major 

stationary source or major modification would affect. 

Page 1 of 1 

(2) For a major stationary source, the analysis shall address each pollutant that it 

would have the potential to emit in a significant amount. 

(3) For a major modification, the analysis shall address each pollutant for which it 

would result in a significant net emissions increase. 

(4) With respect to any such pollutant for which no national ambient air quality 

standard exists, the analysis shall contain such air quality monitoring data as the 

department determines is necessary to assess ambient air quality for that pollutant 

in any area that the emissions of that pollutant would affect. 

(5) With respect to any such pollutant (other than nonmethane hydrocarbons) for 

which such a standard does exist, the analysis shall contain continuous air quality 

monitoring data gathered for purposes of determining whether emissions of that 

pollutant would cause or contribute to a violation of the standard or any maximum 

allowable increase. 

(6) The continuous air monitoring data that is required under this rule shall have 

been gathered over a period of one year and shall represent the year preceding 

receipt of the application, except that, if the department determines that a complete 

and adequate analysis can be accomplished with monitoring data gathered over a 

period shorter than one year (but not to be less than four months) , the data that is 

required shall have been gathered over at least that shorter period. 

(7) The owner or operator of a proposed major stationary source or major 

modification of volatile organic compounds who satisfies all conditions of subchapter 

9 may provide post-approval monitoring data for ozone in lieu of providing 

preconstruction data as required under (1). 

(8) The owner or operator of a major stationary source or major modification 

shall, after construction of the stationary source or modification, conduct such 

ambient monitoring as the department determines is necessary to determine the 

effect emissions from the stationary source or modification may have, or are having, 

on air quality in any area.
