### Knox County Air Pollution Control Board Regulatory Revisions July 18, 2012 

## Background 

## I Statement ofNeed: 1
. The KCAQM is requesting changes to Section 25.1 by adding new section 25
. l.E. This new provision requires that any proposed minor source construction pennit to be subject to a published public notice and subsequent 30 day comment period. The State reviews the KCAQM program bi-annually 

### in order to issue Knox County a Certificate ofExemption (COE). With local regulations at least as stringent as the State's, the COE allows the Department to operate as the air agency ofthisjurisdiction. In the recently completed review for our COE the State directed that the locally issued minor source construction permits must first complete a 30 day public comment period
. The Department initiated this practice quickly; several public notices have already been published covering about 14 minor source construction permits. However, the State's COErequires that this protocol be formally included in the local regulations.
