INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL AUTHORITY 

This Air Operating Permit ("Permit") is authorized under the Operating Permit Regulation, 

Chapter 173-401 WAC. The provisions of this Permit describe the emissions limitations, 

operating requirements, monitoring and recordkeeping requirements, and reporting 

frequencies for the permitted source. 

The Boise White Paper, L.L.C, previously titled, "Boise Cascade Corporation", Wallula 

Mill ("Boise"), requires a Title V Air Operating Permit because it emits, or has the potential 

to emit, one hundred tons per year or more of one or more air pollutants. [WAC 173-401-

300(1 ).] 

During the drafting of this Permit, Ecology has attempted to incorporate requirements 

using the exact language of the law, regulation, or order. Where there is a difference in 

language, this difference is presented in this Permit only for clarification of the underlying 

requirement. The legal requirement remains the underlying requirement. Any conflict 

between the Permit and an underlying requirement that is not acknowledged in this Permit 

or its support document, nor is addressed in past orders or permits referenced in this 

Permit or its support document, will be resolved by referring to the underlying requirement. 

Unless otherwise stated, the effective date of referenced regulations or statutes is that of 

the provision in effect on the date of Permit issuance. Compliance with underlying 

requirements shall be demonstrated using the methods specified in this Permit or the 

support document. 

The Title V Air Operating Permit consists of all parts of this assembled document, 

including its footnotes and Appendices, but does not include the accompanying support 

document, nor the Title V permit application materials submitted by Boise nor any other 

past orders or permits. 

The definition of terms contained in WAC 173-401-200, and as defined in all referenced 

regulations, applies to this Permit unless otherwise defined in the Permit. · 
EMISSION UNIT ..SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS [WAC 173-401-600] 

This section contains requirements applicable to described units. General requirements that apply to 

monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting for these limits are in the Facility-Wide Requirements section of this 

Permit. Monitoring and reporting requirements that are specific to each limit are listed in the emission unitspecific tables and should be read in conjunction with the general requirements. Unless specified otherwise, 

the basis of authority for the type and frequency of monitoring imposed is WAC 173-401-615.
