## PERMIT CONDITIONS The owner or operator of the facility shall assure that the installation, operation, and maintenance of this equipment is in compliance with all of the following conditions.



### 1. Departmental Review This permit is issued based on information submitted by the applicant. Any misinformation, false statements or misrepresentations by the applicant shall cause this permit to be void. In addition, the applicant may be subject to criminal penalties according to Iowa Code Section 455B.146A. This permit is issued under the authority of 567 Iowa Administrative Code (IAC) 22.3. The proposed equipment has been evaluated for conformance with Iowa Code Chapter 455B; 567 IAC Chapters 20-31; and 40 CFR Parts 51, 52, 60, 61 and 63 and has the potential to comply. No review has been undertaken on the engineering aspects of the equipment or control equipment other than the potential of that equipment for reducing air contaminant emissions. The DNR assumes no liability, directly or indirectly, for any loss due to damage to persons or property caused by, resulting from, or arising out of the design, installation, maintenance or operation of the proposed equipment.



### 2. Transferability As limited by 567 IAC 22.3(3)"f", this permit is not transferable from one location to another or from one piece of equipment to another, unless the equipment is portable. When portable equipment for which a permit has been issued is to be transferred from one location to another, the DNR shall be notified in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to transferring to the new location. The owner will be notified at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled relocation if the relocation will cause a violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In such case, a supplemental permit shall be required prior to the initiation of construction of additional control equipment or equipment modifications needed to meet the standards. This permit is for the construction and operation of the specific emission unit(s), control equipment and emission point as described in this permit and in the application for this permit. Any owner or operator of the specified emission unit(s), control equipment or emission point, including any person who becomes an owner or operator subsequent to the date on which this permit is issued, is responsible for compliance with the provisions of this permit. No person shall construct, install, reconstruct or alter this emission unit, control equipment or emission point without the required revisions to this permit.



### 3. Construction This permit shall become void if construction on the proposed project (EP-11) has not been initiated within eighteen (18) months after the date of the issuance of this permit and completed within thirty-six (36)

### Anita Municipal Utilities Stand-By Generator (EP-11) page 3 of 8

Anita, Iowa 02-A-375 months after the date of the issuance of this permit. In addition the permit shall become void if the following construction has not been initiated within six (6) months after the date of issuance of this permit.
A. EP-1 must be removed from operation; and B. The stacks for EP-2 and EP-3 must be raised from 24 feet to 30 feet above the ground. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to ensure that construction conforms to the final plans and specifications as submitted and that adequate operation and maintenance is provided to ensure that no condition of air pollution is created. A supplement to this permit shall be obtained if the owner proposes changes to the final submitted plans and specifications.



### 4. Credible Evidence As stated in 567 IAC 21.5 and also in 40 CFR Part 60.11(g), where applicable, any credible evidence may be used for the purpose of establishing whether a person has violated or is in violation of any provisions specified in this permit or any provisions of 567 IAC Chapters 20 through 31.


### 5. Owner Responsibility Issuance of this permit shall not relieve the owner or operator of the responsibility to comply fully with applicable provisions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), and any other requirements of local, state, and federal law. The owner or operator of any emission unit or control equipment shall maintain and operate the equipment and control equipment at all times in a manner consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions, as required by paragraph 567 IAC 24.2(1) "Maintenance and Repair".


### 6. Disposal of Contaminants The disposal of materials collected by the control equipment shall meet all applicable rules.



### 7. Excess Emissions Excess emissions during a period of startup, shutdown, or cleaning of control equipment are not a violation of the emission standard if it is accomplished expeditiously and in a manner consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions except when another regulation applicable to the unit or process provides otherwise. Cleaning of control equipment, which does not require the shutdown of process equipment, shall be limited to one six-minute period per one-hour period. An incident of excess emissions other than the above is a violation and may be subject to criminal penalties according to Iowa Code 455B.146A. If excess emissions are occurring, either the control equipment causing the excess shall be repaired in an expeditious manner, or the process generating the emissions shall be shutdown within a reasonable period of time, as specified in 567 IAC 24.1. An incident of excess emissions shall be orally reported to the appropriate DNR field office within eight (8) hours of, or at the start of, the first working day following the onset of the incident. A written report of an incident of excess emissions shall be submitted as a follow-up to all required oral reports within seven (7) days of the onset of the upset condition.



### 8. Notification, Reporting and Recordkeeping A. The owner shall furnish the DNR the following written notifications: 1. The date construction, installation, or alteration is initiated postmarked within thirty (30) days following initiation of construction, installation, or alteration; 2.
