A requirement established which limits the quantity, rate, or concen tration of emissions of air pollutants on a continuous basis, including any re quirements which limit the level of opacity, prescribe equipment, set fuel specifications, or prescribe operation or maintenance procedures for a source to assure continuous emission

reduction.

(b) "Stack." Any point in a source designe d to emit solids, liquids, or gases into the air, including a pipe or duct but not including flares.

(c) "A stack in existence." The owner or operator had either:APC-S-1, Amended December 11, 2008, Redline/Strikeout 

### 19

(1) Begun, or caused to begin, a continuous program of physical on-site construction of the stack, or

(2) Entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations, which

could not be cancelled or modified without substantial loss to the owner or operator, to undertake a program of construction of the stack to be completed in a reasonable time.

(d) "Dispersion technique." Any tec hnique which attempts to affect the concentration of a pollutant in the ambi ent air by using that portion of a stack which exceeds good engineering practice stack height, varying the rate of emission of a pollutant according to atmospheric conditions or ambient concentrations of that pollutant, or in creasing final exhaust gas plume rise by manipulating source process parameters, exhaust gas parameters, stack parameters, or combining exhaust gases from several existing stacks into one stack; or other selective handling of exhaust gas streams so as to increase the exhaust gas plume rise. The preceding sentence does not include:

(1) The reheating of a gas stream, following use of a pollution control system, for the purpose of returning the gas to the temperature at which it was originally discharged from the facility generating the
gas stream:

(2) The merging of exhaust gas streams where:

(i) The source owner or operator demonstrates that the facility was originally designed and constructed with such merged
gas streams;

(ii) After July 8, 1985, such merg ing is part of a change in operation at the facility that includes the installation of pollution controls and is accompanied by a net reduction in the allowable emissions of a pollutant. This exclusion from the definition of "dispersion t echniques" shall apply only to the emission limitation for the pollutant affected by such change in operation; or

(iii) Before July 8, 1985, such merging was part of a change in operation at the facility that included the installation of emissions control equipment or was carried out for sound economic or engineering reasons. Where there was an increase in the emission limitation or, in the event that no emission limitation was in existence prior to the merging, an increase in the quantity of pollu tants actually emitted prior to the merging, the reviewing agency shall presume that merging was significantly motivated by an intent to gain emissions credit for greater dispersion. Absent aAPC-S-1, Amended December 11, 2008, Redline/Strikeout 

### 20

demonstration by the source owner or operator that merging was not significantly motivated by such intent, the reviewing agency shall deny credit for the effects of such merging in calculating the allowable emissions for the source;

(3) The use of smoke management in agricultural or silvicultural prescribed burning programs; or

(4) Episodic restrictions on resi dential woodburning and open burning;

or

(5) Techniques under Paragraph 9.1(d) which increase final exhaust gas plume rise where the resulting allowa ble emissions of sulfur dioxide from the facility do not exceed 5,000 tons per year.

(e) "Good engineering practice (GEP) stack height." The greater of:

(1) 65 meters measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack;

(2) (i) For stacks in existence on January 12, 1979, and for which the owner or operator had obtained all applicable preconstruction permits or approvals required, Hg = 2.5 H, provided the owner or operator produces evidence that this equation was actually relied on in establishing an emission limitation;

(ii) For all other stacks,

Hg = H + 1.5L, where

Hg = good engineering practice stack height, measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack,

H = height of nearby structure(s) measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack, and

L = lesser dimension (height or projected width) of nearby structure(s),

provided that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Commission may require the use of a field study or fluid model to verify GEP stack height for the source; orAPC-S-1, Amended December 11, 2008, Redline/Strikeout 

### 21

(3) The height demonstrated by a fl uid model or a field study approved by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Commission,

which ensures that the emissions from a stack do not result in excessive concentrations of any air pollutant as a result of atmospheric downwash, wakes, or e ddy effects created by the source itself, nearby structures, or nearby terrain features.

(f) "Nearby," As used in Paragraph 9.1( e)(2)(ii) is defined for a specific

structure or terrain feature and means:

(1) For purposes of applying the formulae provided in Paragraph 9.1(e)(2) that distance up to five times the lesser of the height or the width dimension of a structure, but not greater than 0.8 km (1/2 mile), and

(2) For conducting demonstrations under Paragraph 9.1(e)(3) that distance not greater than 0.8 km (1/2 mile), except that the portion of a terrain feature may be considered to be nearby which falls within a distance of up to 10 times the maximum height (Ht) of the feature,

not to exceed 2 miles if such feat ure achieves a height (ht) 0.8 km

from the stack that is at least 40 percent of the GEP stack height determined by the formulae provided in Paragraph 9.1(e)(2)(ii) of thispart or 26 meters, whichever is greater, as measured from the groundlevel elevation at the base of the st ack. The height of the structure or terrain feature is measured from the ground-level elevation at the

base of the stack.

(g) "Excessive concentration." For the purpose of determining good engineering practice stack height under Paragraph 9.1(e)(3), excessive concentration

means:

(1) For sources seeking credit for stack height exceeding that established under Paragraph 9.1(e)(2), a maximum ground-level concentration due to emissions from a stack due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, and eddy effects produced by nearby structures or nearby terrain features which individually is at least 40 percent in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy effects a nd which contributes to a total concentration due to emissions from all sources that is greater than an ambient air quality standard. For sources subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program , an excessive concentration alternatively means a maximum ground-level concentration due to

emissions from a stack due in whol e or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects produced by nearby structures or nearby terrain features which individually is at least 40 percent in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy effects and greater th an a prevention of significantAPC-S-1, Amended December 11, 2008, Redline/Strikeout

deterioration increment. The allowa ble emission rate to be used in making demonstrations under this part shall be prescribed by the new source performance standard that is applicable to the source category unless the owner or operator demonstr ates that this emission rate is infeasible. Where such demonstrations are approved by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Commission, an alternative

emission rate shall be established in consultation with the source
owner or operator.

(2) For sources seeking credit after October 11, 1983, for increases in existing stack heights up to the heights established under Paragraph 9.1(e)(2), either a maximum ground-level concentration due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects as provided in Paragraph 9.1(g)(1) of this sec tion, except that the emission rate specified by the State implementation pl an (or, in the absence of such a limit, the actual emission rate) shall be used, or the actual presence of a local nuisance caused by the existing stack, as determined by the Commission, and

(3) For sources seeking credit afte r January 12, 1979, for a stack height determined under Paragraph 9.1(e)(2) where the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Commissi on requires the use of a field study or fluid model to verify GEP stack height, for sources seeking stack height credit after November 9, 1984, based on the aerodynamic influence of cooling towers, and for sources seeking stack height credit after December 31, 1970, based on the aerodynamic influence of structures not adequately represented by the equations in Paragraph 9.1(e)(2), a maximum ground-level concentration due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects that is at least 40 percen t in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy

effects.

2. Stack Height Effect on Emission Limitations

(a) The degree of emission limitation requi red of any source for control of any air pollutants shall not be affected by so much of any source's stack height that exceeds good engineering practice (GEP) or by any other dispersion technique, except as provided in (b) of this paragraph.

(b) The provisions of Paragraph 9.2(a) shall not apply to stack heights in existence, or dispersion techniques implemented, prior to December 31, 1970, except where pollutants are being emitted from such stacks or using such dispersion techniques by sources, as defined in Section 111(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act, which were constructed, or reconstructed or for which major modifications, as defined pursuant to Section 6, New Sources, were carried out after December 31, 1970.APC-S-1, Amended December 11, 2008, Redline/Strikeout 

### 23

(c) If any existing source, after appr opriate application of the preceding limitations and provisions, is found to exceed or potentially exceed an air quality standard or increment, as appropriate, when operating within previously established emission limitations, the emission limitations applicable to that source shall be modifi ed so as to eliminate and prevent the

exceedance.

(d) If any new source or source modificati on, after appropriate application of the preceding limitations and provisions, is predicted to exceed an air quality standard, or increment, as appropria te, when considered as operating under emission limitations consistent with other Applicable Rules and Regulations, the emission limitations considered shall be deemed inadequate and different emission limits, based on air quality consider ations, shall be made applicable.

(e) If any source provides a field st udy or fluid modeling demonstration proposing a GEP stack height greater than that allowed by Paragraph 9.1(e)(1) and (2), then the pub lic will be notified of the availability of the study and provided the opportunity for a public hearing before any new or revised emission limitation or permit is approved.

(f) The actual stack height used or proposed by a source shall not be restricted in any manner by requirements of this paragraph.

Ms. Maya Rao stated that the Title V Air Advisory Council’s recommendation and the

staff recommendation on the Title V Fee for State Fiscal Year 2010 had been sent to the Commission for review. Staff is in agreement with the Advisory Council’s recommendation.

Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Phillips and seconded by Mr. Winstead, the Commission unanimously voted to approve going to Public Notice of Hearing on the SFY2010 Title V Fee.

### 2 Adoption of Amendments to State Air Regulations, APC-S-1

Ms. Maya Rao stated that a public hearing was held on November 3, 2008, to receive comments concerning proposed amendments to state air regulations entitled “Regulations for the Prevention, Abatement, and Control of Air Contaminants”, APC-S-1. The amendments concern the adoption of additional definitions and clarifying language as well as the adoption of updated federal rules by reference to make the state regulations consistent with the federal requirements.

Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Winstead and seconded by Mr. Dunagin, the Commission unanimously voted to adopt the amendments to State Air Regulations, APC-S-1.

Adoption of a Revision to the State Implementa tion Plan for Control of Air Pollution (SIP Revison)

The proposed SIP Re vision updates the Mississippi SIP with certain proposed amendments to APC-S-1. No comments were received from the public. A transcript of the public hearing has been provided to the Commission for review. Staff recommended that the Commission adopt the proposed SIP Revision. Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Dunagin and seconded by Mr. Phillips, the Commission unanimously voted to adopt the Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Control of Air Pollution as

stated.

Approval of Immediate Response Action C ontractors/Underground Storage Tank Program

Mr. Jerry Banks stated that pursuant to public notice and mail outs, contractors were notified that staff was soliciting qualified Immediate Response Action Contractors for Commission approval for the period of January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009. Interested contractors were required to submit complete application packages by December 1, 2008. The application packages required applicants to meet minimum qualification/requirements related to experience, personnel, references, compliance history, mobilization, availability, health and safety programs, training, equipment, insurance, contractor’s license, and other areas. Staff recommended that the following companies be approved as Immediate Response Action Contractors for the Underground Storage Tank program for 2009: Singley Construction Company, Columbia, Mississippi Southern Environmental Contracting, LLC, Columbia, Mississippi Walker-Hill Environmental, Inc., Foxworth, Mississippi Waste Oil Collectors, Inc., Gautier, Mississippi Performance Oil Equipment, Inc., Jackson, Mississippi SCS Environmental Groups, Inc., Olive Branch, Mississippi Complete Environmental and Remediation Company, LLC, Purvis, Mississippi Cobb Environmental & Technical Services, Inc., Tupelo, Mississippi, Ranger Environmental, Inc., Mandeville, Louisiana Contaminant Control, Inc., Fayetteville, North Carolina Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Dunagin and seconded by Mr. Phillips, the Commission unanimously voted to approve the companies listed as Immediate Response Action Contractors as recommended by staff.

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Enforcement Matters

Mr. Jerry Banks stated the Commission approved amended UST regulations (UST-2) at its August meeting based in part on the mandates of the National Energy Policy Act of 2005. The amended regulations became effective on October 1, 2008. The amended regulations, consistent with the Federal requirements, require the Department to prohibit product delivery to UST owners/operators if they are not in compliance with certain requirements of the UST regulations including failure to timely pay the required $100 per tank fee. The regulations allow for the

### 3 posting of these ineligible facilities on the MDEQ website. If it is determined that product delivery has occurred to an ineligible UST, the UST owner/operator and the person making the delivery are subject to significant penalties of up to $25,000 per violation per day. Currently approximately 100 UST facilities are delinquent in paying the required UST fees despite repeated attempts by the Department to collect the fees. Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Winstead and seconded by Mr. McKissack, the Commission unanimously voted to proceed with fulfilling the enforcement requirements, beginning in January 2009. Staff will again write letters to the facilities and then proceed to prohibiting delivery of product to the facility if the fees are not paid.

Approval of Brownfields Property Transaction - Sale

Mr. Jerry Banks stated that Pennzoil Quaker State Company has been leasing the property for their operations in Vicksburg from the Warren County Board of Supervisors/Warren County Port Authority and now wishes to purchase the property. All three entities are presently parties to Brownfield Agreed Order No. 5389-08 (“ Order”). The Brownfield regulations require that the Commission approve any sale, conveyance, or other change in surface ownership of the Brownfield Agreement site. Staff recommended a pproval of the sale of the Brownfields property to Pennzoil Quaker State Company. Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. McKissack and seconded by Mr. Van Devender, the Commission unanimously voted to approve the sale of the property as stated.

Conditional Approval of Madison County Solid Waste Management Plan

Mr. Mark Williams stated that the Madison County Board of Supervisors has submitted a comprehensive local solid waste management plan which updates their original plan approved in February 1994. The updated plan has been reviewed by staff and staff indicates that most of the provisions of the County plan have been developed and adopted in accordance with the requirements of state law. However, staff believe s that portions of the County’s determination of need and other necessary information for including a proposed class I rubbish site and rubbish processing/composting site on County Line Road appear deficient. Consequently, staff recommended conditional approval of the plan, which requires the County’s correction of the deficiencies regarding the proposed rubbish site in order to obtain full approval. Mr. Jim McCafferty, attorney for Rory Reardon in another matter under the Madison County Solid Waste Plan, stated that his client opposes the updated plan and suggested the plan be sent back to the Board of Supervisors for another public heari ng. Following staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Winstead and seconded by Mr. Phillips, the Commission voted (5 to 1) to conditionally approve the Madison County Solid Waste Management Plan, with the conditions to be outlined in a Commission order. Mr. McKissack voted against the motion.

Water Pollution Control (Clean Water) Revolving Fund Loan Program, Adoption of FY-2009

Intended Use Plan

Mr. Tony Caldwell recommended adoption of the FY-2009 Intended Use Plan under the Clean Water Revolving Fund Loan Program. This document identifies the loan funds available to communities for the construction of wastewater infrastructure, the communities to receive these loan funds, the loan interest rate which is 1.75%, program deadlines, and other related

information. The document was sent to the Commission for review. Mr. Caldwell noted a few changes that had been made to the document. A public hearing had been held on December 4, 2008, and no comments were received. Following st aff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Van Devender and seconded by Mr. Phillips, the Commission unanimously voted to adopt the FY-2009 Intended Use Plan as stated.

Approval of Fee Increase for Wastewater Operator Certification Program

Mr. Henry Folmar stated that the Board of Examiners for the MDEQ Wastewater Operator Certification program has reviewed the current rate structure for fees associated with the program and determined that a fee increase is necessary to ensure the program is self sufficient and remains viable. Certification fees have not changed since the initiation of the program in 1987, while publication fees have not changed in se veral years. The staff has developed a new

### 4 rate structure that will cover publication costs and satisfy current budget needs. These rate changes have been discussed with the Board’s stakeholder advisory committee and the MS Water and Pollution Control Operator’s Associa tion Board of Directors. Both groups have

concurred with the recommendations.

The following rate changes are proposed:

ITEM CURRENT PROPOSED 

### New wastewater operator certification / 3 years $50.00 $75.00 Renewal of certification / 3years $30.00 $45.00
Exam / each $25.00 $35.00

Publications: Manuals $35.00 $50.00 Study Guides $15.00 $20.00
CDs $25.00 $25.00

The staff requested that the Commission approve these proposed increases. These fees are essentially user fees, which have been endorsed by the affected entities, the municipalities which recognize the value to their communities and the local environment of having qualified operators to manage their wastewater systems. Follo wing staff presentation and deliberation, on motion made by Mr. Van Devender and seconded by Mr. McKissack, the Commission unanimously voted to approve the fee increase for the Wastewater Operator Certification Program.
