 Permit No. 0680-00006 

4469 PER20050001

SECTION 1. GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.1 The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance 

constitutes a violation of the Federal Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit 

termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal 

application. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.a.) 

1.2 It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been 

necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the 

conditions of this permit. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.b.) 

1.3 This permit and/or any part thereof may be modified, revoked, reopened, and reissued, or 

terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, 

revocation and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification of planned changes or 

anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section 

III.A.6.c.) 

1.4 This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege. 

(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.d.) 

1.5 The permittee shall furnish to the DEQ within a reasonable time any information the DEQ 

may request in writing to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and 

reissuing, or terminating the permit or to determine compliance with the permit. Upon 

request, the permittee shall also furnish to the DEQ copies of records required to be kept by 

the permittee or, for information to be confidential, the permittee shall furnish such records 

to DEQ along with a claim of confidentiality. The permittee may furnish such records 

directly to the Administrator along with a claim of confidentiality. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section 

III.A.6.e.) 

1.6 The provisions of this permit are severable. If any provision of this permit, or the 

application of any provision of this permit to any circumstances, is challenged or held 

invalid, the validity of the remaining permit provisions and/or portions thereof or their 

application to other persons or sets of circumstances, shall not be affected thereby. (Ref.: 

APC-S-6, Section III.A.5.) 

1.7 The permittee shall pay to the DEQ an annual permit fee. The amount of fee shall be 

determined each year based on the provisions of regulated pollutants for fee purposes and 

the fee schedule specified in the Commission on Environmental Quality's order which shall 

be issued in accordance with the procedure outlined in Regulation APC-S-6. 

(a) For purposes of fee assessment and collection, the permittee shall elect for actual or 

allowable emissions to be used in determining the annual quantity of emissions 

unless the Commission determines by order that the method chosen by the applicant 

for calculating actual emissions fails to reasonably represent actual emissions. 

Actual emissions shall be calculated using emission monitoring data or direct 
Page 4 of 24 

 Permit No. 0680-00006 

4469 PER20050001

emissions measurements for the pollutant(s); mass balance calculations such as the 

amounts of the pollutant(s) entering and leaving process equipment and where mass 

balance calculations can be supported by direct measurement of process parameters, 

such direct measurement data shall be supplied; published emission factors such as 

those relating release quantities to throughput or equipment type (e.g., air emission 

factors); or other approaches such as engineering calculations (e.g., estimating 

volatilization using published mathematical formulas) or best engineering 

judgements where such judgements are derived from process and/or emission data 

which supports the estimates of maximum actual emission. 

(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.A.2.) 

(b) If the Commission determines that there is not sufficient information available on a 

facility's emissions, the determination of the fee shall be based upon the permitted 

allowable emissions until such time as an adequate determination of actual emissions 

is made. Such determination may be made anytime within one year of the submittal 

of actual emissions data by the permittee. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.A.2.) If at any 

time within the year the Commission determines that the information submitted by 

the permittee on actual emissions is insufficient or incorrect, the permittee will be 

notified of the deficiencies and the adjusted fee schedule. Past due fees from the 

adjusted fee schedule will be paid on the next scheduled quarterly payment time. 

(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.D.2.) 

(c) The fee shall be due September 1 of each year. By July 1 of each year the permittee 

shall submit an inventory of emissions for the previous year on which the fee is to be 

assessed. The permittee may elect a quarterly payment method of four (4) equal 

payments; notification of the election of quarterly payments must be made to the 

DEQ by the first payment date of September 1. The permittee shall be liable for 

penalty as prescribed by State Law for failure to pay the fee or quarterly portion 

thereof by the date due. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.D.) 

(d) If in disagreement with the calculation or applicability of the Title V permit fee, the 

permittee may petition the Commission in writing for a hearing in accordance with 

State Law. Any disputed portion of the fee for which a hearing has been requested 

will not incur any penalty or interest from and after the receipt by the Commission of 

the hearing petition. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.C.)

1.20 Any change in ownership or operational control must be approved by the Permit Board. 

(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section IV.D.4.) 

1.21 This permit is a Federally approved operating permit under Title V of the Federal Clean Air 

Act as amended in 1990. All terms and conditions, including any designed to limit the 

source's potential to emit, are enforceable by the Administrator and citizens under the 

Federal Act as well as the Commission. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.B.1) 

1.22 Except as otherwise specified or limited herein, the open burning of residential, 

commercial, institutional, or industrial solid waste, is prohibited. This prohibition does not 

apply to infrequent burning of agricultural wastes in the field, silvicultural wastes for forest 

management purposes, land-clearing debris, debris from emergency clean-up operations, 

and ordnance. Open burning of land-clearing debris must not use starter or auxiliary fuels 

which cause excessive smoke (rubber tires, plastics, etc.); must not be performed if 

prohibited by local ordinances; must not cause a traffic hazard; must not take place where 

there is a High Fire Danger Alert declared by the Mississippi Forestry Commission or 

Emergency Air Pollution Episode Alert imposed by the Executive Director and must meet 

the following buffer zones. 

(a) Open burning without a forced-draft air system must not occur within 500 yards of 

an occupied dwelling. 

(b) Open burning utilizing a forced-draft air system on all fires to improve the 

combustion rate and reduce smoke may be done within 500 yards of but not within 

50 yards of an occupied dwelling. 

(c) Burning must not occur within 500 yards of commercial airport property, private air 

fields, or marked off-runway aircraft approach corridors unless written approval to 

conduct burning is secured from the proper airport authority, owner or operator. 

(Ref.: APC-S-1, Section 3.7) 

1.23 Except as otherwise specified herein, the permittee shall be subject to the following 

provision with respect to emergencies. 

(a) Except as otherwise specified herein, 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 the 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, careless or 

improper operation, or operator error. 

(b) An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for 

noncompliance with such technology-based emission limitations if the conditions 

specified in (c) following are met. 
Page 10 of 24 

 Permit No. 0680-00006 

4469 PER20050001

(c) The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed 

contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that include information 

as follows: 

(1) an emergency occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the 

emergency; 

(2) the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; 

(3) 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 

(4) the permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the DEQ within 2 working 

days of the time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the 

emergency. This notice must contain a description of the emergency, any steps 

taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken. 

(d) In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of 

an emergency has the burden of proof. 

(e) This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any 

applicable requirement specified elsewhere herein. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.G.) 

1.24 Except as otherwise specified herein, the permittee shall be subject to the following 

provisions with respect to upsets, startups, shutdowns and maintenance. 

(a) Upsets (as defined by APC-S-1, Section 2.34) 

(1) The occurrence of an upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an enforcement 

action brought for noncompliance with emission standards or other 

requirements of Applicable Rules and Regulations or any applicable permit if 

the permittee demonstrates through properly signed contemporaneous operating 

logs, or other relevant evidence that include information as follows: 

(i) an upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the 

upset; 

(ii) the source was at the time being properly operated; 

(iii) during the upset the permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize 

levels of emissions that exceeded the emission standards, or other 

requirements of Applicable Rules and Regulations or any applicable 

permit; 
Page 11 of 24 

 Permit No. 0680-00006 

4469 PER20050001

(iv) the permittee submitted notice of the upset to the DEQ within 5 working 

days of the time the upset began; and 

(v) the notice of the upset shall contain a description of the upset, any steps 

taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken. 

(2) In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the 

occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 

(3) This provision is in addition to any upset provision contained in any applicable 

requirement. 

(b) Startups and Shutdowns (as defined by APC-S-1, Sections 2.31 & 2.26) 

(1) Startups and shutdowns are part of normal source operation. Emissions 

limitations applicable to normal operation apply during startups and shutdowns 

except as follows: 

(i) when sudden, unavoidable breakdowns occur during a startup or 

shutdown, the event may be classified as an upset subject to the 

requirements above; 

(ii) when a startup or shutdown is infrequent, the duration of excess 

emissions is brief in each event, and the design of the source is such that 

the period of excess emissions cannot be avoided without causing 

damage to equipment or persons; or 

(iii) when the emissions standards applicable during a startup or shutdown are 

defined by other requirements of Applicable Rules and Regulations or 

any applicable permit. 

(2) In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the 

applicability of any exception during a startup or shutdown has the burden of 

proof. 

(3) In the event this startup and shutdown provision conflicts with another 

applicable requirement, the more stringent requirement shall apply. 

(c) Maintenance. 

(1) Maintenance should be performed during planned shutdown or repair of 

process equipment such that excess emissions are avoided. Unavoidable 

maintenance that results in brief periods of excess emissions and that is 

necessary to prevent or minimize emergency conditions or equipment 

malfunctions constitutes an affirmative defense to an enforcement action 
Page 12 of 24 

 Permit No. 0680-00006 

4469 PER20050001

brought for noncompliance with emission standards, or other regulatory 

requirements if the permittee can demonstrate the following: 

(i) the permittee can identify the need for the maintenance; 

(ii) the source was at the time being properly operated; 

(iii) during the maintenance the permittee took all reasonable steps to 

minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the emission standards, or 

other requirements of Applicable Rules and Regulations or any 

applicable permit; 

(iv) the permittee submitted notice of the maintenance to the DEQ within 5 

working days of the time the maintenance began or such other times as 

allowed by DEQ; and 

(v) the notice shall contain a description of the maintenance, any steps taken 

to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken. 

(2) In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the 

applicability of this section has the burden of proof. 

(3) In the event this maintenance provision conflicts with another applicable 

requirement, the more stringent requirement shall apply. (Ref.: APC-S-1, 

Section 10) 

1.25 The permittee shall comply with all applicable standards for demolition and renovation 

activities pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M, as adopted by 

reference in Regulation APC-S-1, Section 8. The permittee shall not be required to obtain 

a modification of this permit in order to perform the referenced activities.
