On October 16,2013 the Knox County Air Pollution Control Board amended the Knox County Air Quality Management Regulations. These amendments affected the following rules:
Section 25.6.M, regarding permit exemptions for laboratories. Section 25.11, which provides for limiting the potential emissions of certain VOC sources. Section 26.5.C, addressing a Federal reporting requirement on VOC and NOx sources of 25 tpy (or greater) actual emissions.
The Department is formally requesting each the above revisions be included in the State Implementation Plan.
Documentation has been submitted of our completed regulatory process that clearly delineates the incorporation of said changes into our regulations. Enclosed are copies of the public notice, agenda, adopted amendments, and meeting minutes for the October 16, 2013 activities. Also enclosed is Board Action No. 10-16-13.

October 16, 2013 

### Background 

### I Statement of Need:

1. The KCAQM is requesting the addition of Section 25.6.M to the list of permit exempt source categories, regarding research and design laboratories. This is a permit exemption already provided by the State for their sources. About ten existing sources may be able to take advantage of this exemption. In particular the National Transportation Research Facility in the Hardin Valley area was interested a provision like the State provides. Typically the operations at such facilities in Knox County involve very low emissions.

.! 2.. The .Department requests the adoption of new Section 25.11. This new regulation was

### qev~loped to help stream-line VOC

### so~cepef]llitting. The VOC regulation specifies

. recordkeeping and rejmrtingrequirements for a source with a potential to emit (PTE)

.

above the major source threshold ( 100 tpy), but wants to be a synthetic minor (i.e •

. .. , ;·.'.

_ a<;cept**fc;de~ally** .enforceable limits to jess thaJ?, thi!. major source threshold). The

. · 'recordkeeping arid reportmg requirenieiits an\ set on a three tier system (99.9%, 25%,

and 5% of major source threshold) with 'sour6es 'eiecting to set their emission llmit to

.. 99.9% of major source**thr~shold** haviug t!).e most stringent .requirements and sources

electing to set their emission limit to 5% of rnajor source threshold having the least stringent requirements. This regulation was based on an EPA guidance document for VOC sources SIP requirements. 3. The Department requests the adoption of Section 26.5.C. This provision implements the requirement of the CAA 182(a)(3)(B) to the SIP. This rule requires an the submittal annual emission statement from sources that emit 25 tons per year or more of nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds. .**·.~**J

The procedures below ar e examples of such requirements: A. Emissions of particulate matter, sulfurdioxide, and oxides of nitrogen shall be expressed as follows: in pounds per hour and pounds per million B.T.U. of heat input for fuel-burning equipment; in pounds per hour and pounds per 100 pounds of refuse burned for incinerators, and in pounds per hourly process weight of production rate or in terms of some othe r easily measured and meaningful process unit specified by the Director. B. Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen emission data sh all be averaged over a 24- hour period and shall be summarized mont hly. Daily averages and monthly summaries shall be submitted to the Di rector semi-annually. Data shall be calculated daily and available for inspection at any time. C. Particulate matter emissions shall be sa mpled and analytical data submitted semiannually. D.
