Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Amend Rule 210.4, Prevention of Significant Deterior ation (PSD) has been in EKAPCD's Rule Book since 1984.

However, authority to enforce the rule was not delegated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IX

(EPA). Last year’s federal decision to include greenhouse gas (GHG) emi ssions thresholds in PSD and the ability

to offer sources subject to PSD a more streamli ned permitting process are the primary reason EKAPCD amended

Rule 210.4.
