### Chapter 11 Section 11.24 Regulation Revisions Public Hearing April 10, 2012
Chapter 23-25 ofthe North Dakota Century Code provides the legal authority that empowers the North DakotaDepartment ofHealth to implement the Air Pollution Control Lawfor the State of North Dakota. Article 33-15 "Air Pollution Control" ofthe North Dakota Administrative Code containsthe rules andregulations implementedto control airpollutioninthe State. Article 33-15 consists of25 chapters numbered from 33-15-01 through 33-15-25. There are several different processes by which EPA delegates authority to the State to manage and protect the air quality resources of the State. Historically, the State has gained such authority through the State Implementation Plan process. Two other processes are also used. The first is through direct delegationprocedures and the second involves rules that deal with Title V authorities inthe Clean AirAct. Changes to the following chapters are being submitted as revisions to the State Implementation Plan: 33-15-01

### 1. Oral Comments
No oral comments were received. 2. Written Comments Summary ofComments and Responses

Written comments were provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Martin Schock.
A. Martin Schock Comment I. 

### Mr. Schock stated that the proposed revision to 40 CFR 52.21(1)(1), should include a requirement that the Department give notice and provide for public review its guidance, interpretations ofguidance, and approval of technical inputs used for dispersion modeling in Prevention ofSignificant Deterioration (PSD) permitting actions. Response: 

### The Department has always provided for public review the· dispersion modeling analysis in any PSD permit action as part of the public participation requirements under 40 CFR 52.21(q). In addition, 40 CFR 51, Appendix W, which is being incorporated by reference, requires approval by the EPA Regional Administrator of alternative models and modeling techniques that are different from the preferred models. Further, the modeling analysis is subject to review by the EPA and any state, federal land manager or Indian governing body whose lands may be significantly affected as required by NDAC 33-15-15-0l.2.q(2)(d), Public Participation. No revision is required.
B. EPA Comments 1. 

### Rule Comments
EPA urged the Department to revise several sections ofArticle 33-15 that contain "Director's Discretions." EPA provided a list ofthe sections in need ofrevision and indicated these sections would not be approvable if resubmitted without eliminating the "Director's Discretions." None ofthe sections listed byEPAwere part ofthe proposedrule revisions. Response: 

### The proposed rules revisions either eliminate the "Director's Discretions" or do not contain a "Director's Discretion." Therefore, the proposed revisions comply with the Clean Air Act. No revisions to the rule amendments are necessary.

DearMr. O'Clair: RE: EPA Comments for April 10, 2012 Public Hearing onProposed Revisions to the North Dakota Air Pollution Control Rules and State Implementation Plan

The EPAhas completeda preliminaryreview ofthe draft revisions to the North Dakota State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Afr Pollution Control Rules, as submitted byyouwith a letter dated February 14, 2012. Our comments and questions are detailed in Enclosure 1to this letter. In addition, and as we have done previously, we also included comments on problematic Director's discretion concerns in the chapters noticed for the hearing. The proposed revisions listed below will not be incorporated into the North Dakota SIP. The EPA will take separate actions on them when submitted.

• Chapter 33-15-12

• Chapter 33-15-14-06 • Chapter 33-15-21 • Chapter 33-15-22

• Section 33-15-23-04 Standards for Performance for New Stationary Sources Title V Permitto Operate AcidRain Program Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories Major Source Permitto Operate Fees (Title V Fees)
A written response to the EPA's comments, and all other comments received, is required to meet the completeness criteriaoutlined in40 CFRpart 51, appendixV andmustbe included inthe formal Governor's submittal ofthe revisions to the SIP once they are finalized. We will only cometo a final conclusion regarding the adequacy ofthese NorthDakotaSIP revisions when we act onthemthrough ourownpublic notice and commentrulemaking.

### We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments for your public hearing record. 

### Ifyou have any questions on the EPA's comments, please contact me at 303-312-6416, or have your staff contact Gail Fallon at 303-312-6281.

### ENCLOSURE 1
EPA Comments for North Dakota's April 10, 2012 Public Hearing
Director's Discretion Language


### We note and appreciate that youhave addressed ourprevious Director's discretion concerns under sections 33-15-03-04.4 and 33-15-05.01.2.a(l). Otherconcerns, including Director's discretion issues, that we havepreviously commented about inparts ofChapter 33-15 ofthe NorthDakotaAdministrative Code still remain and are detailedbelow. It

### appears thatthe State is notproposing to revise those parts in this action. However, ifthe State ultimately adopts its proposed revisions to 33-15, and those parts with Director's discretion are submitted by the Governor, it is likely those parts will not be approvable by EPA. We urge you to revise or remove the described sections priorto submittal. Chapter33-15-01, General Provisions 

### 1. 33-15-01-07. Variances. This entire section is problematic because it appears to make variances immediately effectiveupon departmentapproval. Under the Clean AirAct, no variance should be effectiveuntil EPA approves it as a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision pursuant to section 110 ofthe CleanAir Act.
2. 33-15-01-14. Time Schedule for Compliance. The language, "exceptas otherwise specified" creates the problematic Director's discretion in this provision. Chapter33-15-03, Restriction ofEmission ofVisibleAir Contaminants


### 3. 33-15-03.03. Restrictions applicationto fugitive emissions. The Director's discretion language ofconcerninthis section is, "

...as determined or identifiedby the department

..." Chapter33-15-05, Emissions ofParticulate Matter Restricted


### 4. 33-15-05-01.2.a.(3) Emission limitations. This section includes a cross-referenceto section 33-15-05-04 which includes Director'sdiscretion concerns as noted further below.
5. 33-15-05-02.2.f. Emission limitations. This section includes the language, "newor existing source... shall comply

...when directed by department..." and requires clarification that the source cannot avoid new source performance standards (NSPS) requirements.
6. 33-15-05-03.2.3.a. Newtrash incinerators (Design). This section includes the language, "

...department may approve an alternate design

..." Performancerequirements are not specific

. enoughto ensurethatthe "alternatedesign" wouldprovide anequivalentto therequirement for a primary combustion chamberorzonewhichprovides completecombustion ofsolid waste.

### "In cases where States wish to utilize different, but equivalent, procedures and requirements for continuous monitoring systems, the State plan.must provide a description ofsuch alternative procedures for approval by the Administrator. Some examples ofsituations that may require .alternatives follow:

3.9.5 Alternative continuous monitoring systems that do not meet the spectral response requirements in Performance Specification 1, appendix B ofpart 60, but adequately demonstrate a definite and consistentrelationship betweentheir measurements and the opacity measurements ofa system complying with the requirements in Performance Specification 1. The State may requirethat such demonstrationbe performed for each affected facility." Similarly, section 6.0 describes conditions andrequirements for the establishmentof.alternative monitoring requirements and states that, "whenthe State exempts any source subjectto this appendix by use ofthis provisionfrom installing continuous emissionmonitoring systems, the State shall setforth alternative emissionmonitoring and reporting requirements

... to satisfy the intent ofthese regulations." According to North Dakota's analysis, the compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) plan for M. R. Young StationUnit 1indicates that afilterable PMemissionrate of0.062 lb/MMBtucorresponds to 20% opacity. Wereviewed the CAM plan for this unit and the opacity and corresponding PMtest data providedtherein.
Based onour.analysisi we are concerned thatthe 0.062 lb/MMBtu (l

### Q:.minute average) PM emissi'O'n limit may sometimes correspondto an opacity value greater than.20%. We note that thedatain the CAM plan, while reflecting a "definiteand consistentrelationship" betweenPMmeasurements and opacity measurements, consist ofa limited number ofdatapoints and reflect somevariability in the correlationbetween PM and opacityvalues; i.e:, sometimes opacity increased as PM levels decreased. While this variability occurred within a narrowrange, we are concerned that theproposed PMlimit of 0.062 lb/MMBtu lacks a sufficient safety marginto assure compliance withthe opacity limit. A more detailed explanation ofour analysis is provided in a separate comment section below.
Based onthe available data, we suggestthat a 10% safety margin is warranted. Our analysis indicates that a 10% safety margin would correspond to a PM limit of0.0523 lb/MMBtu. This value should ensure compliance with the 20% opacity limit. Itis ourunderstandingthathistorical PMemissions have been well below this level.
The Statehas indicated inpast discussions that itbelieves that lowering the emission limit for the monitoring requirement will effectively makethe opacity limitmore stringentwhich is notits intent. The Statehas also pointed out in discussions thatEPARegion 8'scompliance staffhas approvedPM CEMS for meeting opacityrequirements underNSPS andthat including the 0.062 limit forthe SIP revision improves upon theNSPS approval. Itis not our intent that the State should make the opacity limit more stringent. A slightly lower PM limit than the State has proposed will ensure equivalency ofmonitoring methods and compliance with the 3EPAAnalysis ofMilton R.

Provide by rules any procedures necessary and appropriate to develop, implement, and enforce any air pollution prevention and control program established by the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, and the authorities and responsibilities of which are delegatable to the state by the United States environmental protection agency. Such rules may include any and all enforceable ambient standards, emission limitations, and other control measures, means, techniques, or economic incentives such as fees, marketable permits, and auctions of emissions rights as provided by the Act. The department shall develop and implement such federal programs if the department determines there is a benefit to the state. 13. Provide by rules a program for implementing lead-based paint remediation training, certification, and performance requirements in accordance with title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, part 745, sections 220, 223, 225, 226, 227, and 233. After consultation with the advisory council, the department is empowered to adopt, amend, and repeal rules and regulations implementing and consistent with this chapter.
23-25-03.1. Licensing of asbestos and lead-based paint contractors and certification of asbestos and lead-based paint workers. The department is charged with the responsibility of administering and enforcing a licensing program for asbestos contractors and lead-based paint contractors and a certification program for asbestos workers and lead-based paint workers and is given and charged with the following powers and duties: 1. To require training of, and to examine, asbestos workers and lead-based paint workers. 2. To establish standards and procedures for the licensing of contractors, and the certification of asbestos workers engaging in the abatement of friable asbestos materials or nonfriable asbestos materials that become friable during abatement, and to establish performance standards for asbestos abatement. The performance standards will be as stringent as those standards adopted by the United States environmental protection agency pursuant to section 112 ofthe Federal Clean Air Act, as amended. 3. To establish standards and procedures for the licensing of contractors and the certification of lead-based paint workers engaging in the abatement of lead-based paint and to establish performance standards for lead-based paint abatement in accordance with title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, part 745, sections 220, 223, 225, 226, 227, and 233. 4.

The annual, renewal, and examination fees for lead-based contractors and workers may not exceed those charged to asbestos contractors and workers.
Page No. 36. To establish indoor environmental nonoccupational air quality standards for asbestos. 7. To adopt and enforce rules as necessary forthe implementation ofthis section. For nonpublic employees performing asbestos abatement in facilities or on facility components owned or leased by their employer, only the provisions of rules adopted in accordance with the federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 [Pub. 

### L. 99-519; 100 Stat. 2970; 15 U.S.C. 2641 et seq.], as amended, or the federal Clean Air Act [Pub. 

### L. 95-95; 91 Stat. 685; 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.], as amended, apply to this section. This does not include ownership that was acquired solely to effect a demolition or renovation. 23-25-03.2. Sulfur dioxide ambient air quality standards more strict than federal standards prohibited. The department may not adopt ambient air quality rules or standards for sulfur dioxide that affect coal conversion facilities or petroleum refineries that are more strict than federal rules or standards under the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.], nor may the department adopt ambient air quality rules or standards for sulfur dioxide that affect these facilities and refineries when there are no corresponding federal rules or standards. Any ambient air quality standards that have been adopted by the department for sulfur dioxide that are more strict than federal rules or standards under the Clean AirAct, or for which there are no corresponding federal rules or standards, are void as to coal conversion facilities and petroleum refineries. However, the department may adopt rules for dealing with exposures of less than one hour to sulfur dioxide emissions on a source-by-source basis pursuant to any regulatory program for dealing with short-term exposures to sulfur dioxide that may be established under the Clean Air Act. Any intervention levels or standards set forth in the rules, however, may hot be more strict than federal levels or standards recommended or adopted under the federal program. In adopting the rules, the department shall follow all other provisions of state law governing the department's adoption of ambient air quality rules when there are no mandatory corresponding federal rules or standards. 23-25-03.3. Requirements for adoption of air quality rules more strict than federal standards. 1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, the department may not adopt air quality rules or standards affecting coal conversion and associated facilities, petroleum refineries, or oil and gas production and processing facilities which are more strict than federal rules or standards under the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.], nor may the department adopt air quality rules or standards affecting such facilities when there are no corresponding federal rules or standards, unless the more strict or additional rules or standards are based on a risk assessment that demonstrates a substantial probability of significant impacts to public health or property, a cost-benefit analysis that affirmatively demonstrates that the benefits of the more stringent or additional state rules and standards will exceed the anticipated costs, and the independent peer reviews required by this section. 2. The department shall hold a hearing on any rules or standards proposed for adoption under this section on not less than ninety days' notice. The notice of hearing must specify all studies, opinions, and data that have been relied upon by the department and must state that the studies, risk assessment, and cost-benefit analysis that support the proposed rules or standards are available at the department for inspection and copying. If at any time the department intends to rely upon any studies, opinions, risk assessments, cost-benefit analyses, or other information that were not available from the department when it gave its notice of hearing, the department shall give a new notice of hearing not less than ninety days prior to the hearing that clearly identifies the additional or amended studies, analyses, opinions, data, or information upon which the department intends to rely and conduct an additional hearing ifthe first hearing has already been held. 3. In this section: a. "Cost-benefit analysis" means both the analysis and the written document that contains: Page No. 4(1) A description and comparison ofthe benefits and costs ofthe rule and ofthe reasonable alternatives to the rule. The analysis must include a quantification or numerical estimate of the quantifiable benefits and costs. The quantification or numerical estimate must use comparable assumptions including time periods, specify the ranges of predictions, and explain the margins of error involved in the quantification methods and estimates being used. The costs that must be considered include the social, environmental, and economic costs that are expected to result directly or indirectly from implementation or compliance with the proposed rule. (2) A reasonable determination whether as a whole the benefits of the rule justify the costs of the rule and that the rule will achieve the rulemaking objectives in a more cost-effective manner than other reasonable alternatives, including the alternative of no government action. In evaluating and comparing the costs and benefits, the department shall not rely on cost, benefit, or risk assessment information that is not accompanied by data, analysis, or supporting materials that would enable the department and other persons interested in the rulemaking to assess the accuracy, reliability, and uncertainty factors applicable to the information. b. "Risk assessment" means both the process used by the department to identify and quantify the degree oftoxicity, exposure, or other risk posed for the exposed individuals, populations, or resources and the written document containing an explanation of how the assessment process has been applied to an individual substance, activity, or condition. The risk assessment must include a discussion that characterizes the risks being assessed. The risk characterization must include the following elements: (1) A description of the exposure scenarios used, the natural resources or subpopulations being exposed, and the likelihood of these exposure scenarios expressed in terms of probability. (2) A hazard identification that demonstrates whether exposure to the substance, activity, or condition identified is causally linked to an adverse effect. (3) The major sources of uncertainties in the hazard identification, dose-response, and exposure assessment portions ofthe risk assessment. (4) When a risk assessment involves a choice of any significant assumption, inference, or model, the department in preparing the risk assessment shall: (a) Rely only upon environmental protection agency-approved air dispersion models. (b) Identify the assumptions, inferences, and models that materially affect the outcome. (c) Explain the basis for any choices. (d) Identify any policy decisions or assumptions. (e) Indicate the extent to which any model has been validated by, or conflicts with, empirical data. (f) Describe the impact of alternative choices of assumptions, inferences, or mathematical models. (5) The range and distribution of exposures and risks derived from the risk assessment. c. The risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis performed by the department must be independently peer reviewed by qualified experts selected by the air pollution control advisory council. 4. This section applies to any petition submitted to the department pursuant to section 23-01-04.1 that identifies air quality rules or standards affecting coal conversion facilities or petroleum refineries that are more strict than federal rules or standards under the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.] or for which there are no corresponding federal rules or standards, regardless of whether the department has previously adopted the more strict or additional rules or standards pursuant to section
Page No. 523-01-04.1. This section also applies to any petitions filed under section 23-01-04.1 affecting coal conversion facilities or petroleum refineries that are pending on the effective date ofthis section for which new rules or standards have not been adopted, and the department shall have a reasonable amount of additional time to comply with the more stringent requirements of this section. To the extent section 23-01-04.1 conflicts with this section, the provisions of this section govern. This section does not apply, however, to existing rules that set air quality standards for odor, hydrogen sulfide, visible and fugitive emissions, or emission standards for particulate matter and sulfur dioxide, but does apply to any new rules governing such matters.
23-25-04. Classification and reporting ofair pollution sources. 1. After consultation with the advisory council the department, by rule or regulation, may classify air contaminant sources according to levels and types of emissions and other criteria which relate to air pollution and may require reporting for any of such class or classes. Classifications made pursuant to this subsection may apply to the state as a whole or to any designated area ofthe state and must be made with special reference to effects on health, economic, and social factors and physical effects on property. 2. Any person operating or responsible for the operation of air contaminant sources of any class for which rules and regulations of the department require reporting shall make reports containing information as may be required by the department relevant to air pollution.
23-25-04.1. Permits or registration. 1. No person shall construct, install, modify, use, or operate an air contaminant source designated by regulation, capable of causing or contributing to air pollution, either directly or indirectly, without a permit from the department or in violation of any conditions imposed by such permit. 2. The department shall provide for-the issuance, suspension, revocation, and renewal of any permits which it may require pursuant to this section. 3. The department may require that applications for such permits shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, and such other information as it deems necessary. 4. Possession of an approved permit or registration certificate does not relieve any person of the responsibility to comply with applicable emission limitations or with any other provision of law or regulations adopted pursuant thereto and does not relieve any person from the requirement that that person possess a valid contractor's license issued under chapter 43-07. 5. The department by rule or regulation may provide for registration and registration renewal of certain air contaminant sources in lieu of the permit required pursuant to this section. 6. The department may exempt by rule and regulation certain air contaminant sources from the permit or registration requirements set forth in this section when the department makes a finding that the exemption of such sources of air contaminants will not be contrary to section 23-25-01.1.
23-25-04.2. Fees - Deposit in operating fund. The department by rule or regulation may prescribe and provide for the payment and collection of reasonable fees for the issuance of permits or registration certificates. The permit or registration certificate fees must be based on the anticipated cost of filing and processing the application, of taking action on the requested permit or registration certificate, and conducting an inspection program to determine compliance or noncompliance with the permit or registration certificate. Any moneys collected for permit or registration fees must be deposited in the department operating fund in the state treasury and must be spent subject to appropriation by the legislative assembly.

Page No. 623-25-05. Right of onsite inspection. 1. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent of the department may enter and inspect any property, premise, or place on or at which an air contaminant source is located or is being constructed, installed, or established at any reasonable time for the purpose of ascertaining the state of compliance with this chapter and rules and regulations enforced pursuant thereto. If requested, the owner or operator of the premises shall receive a report setting forth all facts found which relate to compliance status. 2. The department may conduct tests and take samples of air contaminants, fuel, process material, and other materials which affect or may affect emission of air contaminants from any source, and shall have the power to have access to and copy any records required by department rules or regulations to be maintained, and to inspect monitoring equipment located on the premises. Upon request of the department, the person responsible for the source to be tested shall provide necessary holes in stacks or ducts and such other safe and proper sampling and testing facilities exclusive of instruments and sensing devices as may be necessary for proper determination of the emission of air contaminants. If an authorized representative of the department, during the course of an inspection, obtains a sample of air contaminant, fuel, process material, or other material, that representative shall issue a receipt for the sample obtained to the owner or operator of, or person responsible for, the source tested. 3. For the purpose of ascertaining the state of compliance with this chapter and any applicable rules, any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent of the department may enter and inspect, at any reasonable time, any property, premises, or place on or at which a lead-based paint remediation activity is ongoing. If requested, the department shall provide to the owner or operator of the premises a report that sets forth all facts found which relate to compliance status.
23-25-06. Confidentiality of records. 1. Any record, report, or information obtained under this chapter must be available to the public, except that upon a showing satisfactory to the department that the record, report, or information, or particular part thereof, other than emission data, to which the department has access under this chapter, if made public, would divulge trade secrets, the department shall consider the record, report, or information or particular portion thereof confidential in the administration ofthis chapter. 2. Nothing herein may be construed to prevent disclosure of any report, or record of information to federal, state, or local agencies when necessary for purposes of administration ofany federal, state, or local air pollution control laws, or when relevant in any proceeding under this chapter.
23-25-07. Emission control requirements. Repealed byS.L.1975, ch. 231, § 11.
23-25-08. Administrative procedure and judicial review. Any proceeding underthis chapter for: 1. The issuance or modification of rules and regulations including emergency orders relating to control of air pollution; or 2. Determining compliance with rules and regulations ofthe department, must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 28-32, and appeals may be taken as therein provided. When an emergency exists requiring immediate action to protect the public health and safety, the department may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such emergency and requiring that such action be taken as is necessary to meet this emergency. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, such order must be effective immediately, but on application to the department an interested person must be afforded a hearing before the state health council within ten days. On the basis of such hearing,

Page No. 7the emergency order must be continued, modified, or revoked within thirty days after such hearing. Except as provided for in this section, notice of any hearing held under this chapter must be issued at least thirty days priorto the date specified for the hearing.
23-25-09. Injunction proceedings. Repealed by S.L. 1975, ch. 231, § 11.

Any person who violates this chapter, or any permit condition, rule, order, limitation, or other applicable requirement implementing this chapter, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed ten thousand dollars per day perviolation. 5. Without prior revocation of any pertinent permits, the department, in accordance with the laws ofthis state governing injunction or other process, may maintain an action in the name of the state against any person to enjoin any threatened or continuing violation of any provision ofthis chapter or any permit condition, rule, order, limitation, or other applicable requirement implementing this chapter.
23-25-11. Regulation ofodors - Rules. 1. In areas located within a city or the area over which a city has exercised extraterritorial zoning as defined in section 40-47-01.1, a person may not discharge into the ambient air any objectionable odorous air contaminant that measures seven odor concentration units or higher outside the property boundary where the discharge is occurring. If an agricultural operation as defined by section 42-04-01 has been in operation for more than one year, as provided by section 42-04-02, and the business or residence making the odor complaint was built or established after the agricultural operation was established, the measurement for compliance with the seven odor concentration units standard must be taken within one hundred feet [30.48 meters] of the subsequently established residence, church, school, business, or public building making the complaint rather than at the property boundary of the agricultural operation. The measurement may not be taken within five hundred feet [.15 kilometer] ofthe property boundary ofthe agricultural operation. 2. In areas located outside a city or outside the area over which a city has exercised extraterritorial zoning as defined in section 40-47-01.1, a person may not discharge into the ambient air any objectionable odorous air contaminant that causes odors that

Page No. 8measure seven odor concentration units or higher as measured at any ofthe following locations: a. Within one hundred feet [30.48 meters] of any residence, church, school, business, or public building, or within a campground or public park. An odor measurement may not be taken at the residence of the owner or operator of the source of the odor, or at any residence, church, school, business, or public building, or within a campground or public park, that is built or established within one-half mile [.80 kilometer] ofthe source ofthe odor after the source ofthe odor has been built or established; b. At any point located beyond one-half mile [.80 kilometer] from the source of the odor, except for property owned by the owner or operator of the source of the odor, or over which the owner or operator of the source of the odor has purchased an odor easement; or c. Ifa county or township has zoned or established a setback distance for an animal feeding operation which is greater than one-half mile [.80 kilometer] under either section 11-33-02.1 or 58-03-11.1, or ifthe setback distance under subsection 7 is greater than one-half mile [.80 kilometer], measurements for compliance with the seven odor concentration units standard must be taken at the setback distance rather than one-half mile [.80 kilometer] from the facility under subdivision b, except for any residence, church, school, business, public building, park, or campground within the setback distance which was built or established before the animal feeding operation was established, unless the animal feeding operation has obtained an odor easement from the preexisting facility. 3. An odor measurement may be taken only with a properly maintained scentometer, by an odor panel, or by another instrument or method approved by the state department of health, and only by inspectors certified by the department who have successfully completed a department-sponsored odor certification course and demonstrated the ability to distinguish various odor samples and concentrations. If a certified inspector measures a violation of this section, the department may send a certified letter of apparent noncompliance to the person causing the apparent violation and may negotiate with the owner or operator for the establishment of an odor management plan and best management practices to address the apparent violation. The department shall give the owner or operator at least fifteen days to implement the odor management plan. If the odor problem persists, the department may proceed with an enforcement action provided at least two certified inspectors at the same time each measure a violation and then confirm the violation by a second odor measurement taken by each certified inspector, at least fifteen minutes, but no more than two hours, afterthe first measurement. 4. A person is exempt from this section while spreading or applying animal manure or other recycled agricultural material to land in accordance with a nutrient management plan approved by the state department of health. A person is exempt from this section while spreading or applying animal manure or other recycled agricultural material to land owned or leased by that person in accordance with rules adopted by the department. An owner or operator of a lagoon or waste storage pond permitted by the department is exempt from this section in the spring from the time when the cover of the permitted lagoon or pond begins to melt until fourteen days after all the ice cover on the lagoon or pond has completely melted. Notwithstanding these exemptions, all persons shall manage their property and systems to minimize the impad of odors on their neighbors. 5. This section does not apply to chemical compounds that can be individually measured by instruments, other than a scentometer, that have been designed and proven to measure the individual chemical or chemical compound, such as hydrogen sulfide, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, and for which the state department of health has established a specific limitation by rule. 6. For purposes of this section, a public park is a park established by the federal government, the state, or a political subdivision of the state in the manner prescribed
Page No. 9by law. For purposes of this section, a campground is a public or private area of land used exclusively for camping and open to the public for a fee on a regular or seasonal basis. 7. a. In a county that does not regulate the nature, scope, and location of an animal feeding operation under section 11-33-02, the department shall require that any new animal feeding operation permitted under chapter 61-28 be set back from any existing residence, church, school, business, public building, park, or campground.

### OPINION
July 31, 2012

North Dakota Department of Health 918 E Divide Ave ·Bismarck, ND 58501-1947

Dear Mr. O'Clair: The Office of Attorney General has examined the proposed amendments to N.D.A.C. art. 33-15 concerning air pollution control, along with the notice of the proposed rules, the publication of that notice, and the filing of that notice with the Legislative Council. This office has also determined that 1) a written record ofthe agency's consideration of any comments to the proposed rules was made, 2) a regulatory analysis was issued, 3) a takings assessment was prepared, 4) a small entity regulatory analysis and an economic impact statement were not prepared because the rules are either required by federal law, do not affect small entities, or will reduce the burden on any affected small entities, 5) a stringency justification has been prepared, and 6) the proposed rules are within the agency's statutory authority. These administrative rules are in compliance with N.D.C.C. ch. 28-32 .and are hereby approved as to their legality. Upon final adoption, these rules may be filed with the Legislative Council.
