101 PURPOSE: To establish the requirements for the submittal of emission statements from specified stationary sources pursuant to the requirements of the 1990 amendments to the Federal Clean Air Act [Section 182 (a)(3)(B)].

102 APPLICABILITY: The requirements of this rule are applicable to every stationary source permitted by the District which has actual emissions or potential in excess of ten (10) tons

or more per year of volatile organic compounds or oxi des of nitrogen.

1 03 EXEMPTION, WAIVER: The Air Pollution Control Officer may waive the requirement to provide an emission statement for any class or category of stationary sources which emit (based on actual emissions for the twelve months prior to the r eporting period requested) less than twenty

- five (25) tons per year, but more than ten (10) tons per year of volatile organic compounds or oxides of nitrogen, pursuant to the requirements of Section 401.

200 DEFINITIONS : Unless otherwise defined below, th e terms used in this rule are defined in Rule
102, DEFINITIONS and Rule 502, NEW SOURCE REVIEW.

. 300 STANDARDS

301 EMISSION STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS:

301.1 Except as provided in Section 110 , t T he owner or operator of any stationary

source which emits oxides of nitrogen or volatile organic compoun ds that is subject to this rule shall provide the District with a n annual written emission statement showing actual emissions , or operational data allowing the District to

estimate actual emissions of volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen

from that source.

301.2 The emission statement shall be on a form or in a format specified by the Air
