Re: State Implementation Plan and Title V Program 

Approval Submittal for Indiana Regarding Revisions to 

326 lAC 2, Concerning PM2.

5 NSR 

Pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act and Title 13 of the Indiana Code, the Indiana 

Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submits an amendment to the Indiana state 

implementation plan (SIP). This amendment consists of revisions to 326 lAC 2 accomplished through 

one rulemaking. IDEM requests that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 

approve the changes to the following citations into Indiana's SIP: 

326 lAC 2-1.1-1(2) 

326 lAC 2-1.1-1(10) 

326 lAC 2-2-l(dd)(l) 

326 lAC 2-2-1(ff)(7) 

326 lAC 2-2-1(ss)(1) 

326 lAC 2-2-l(ww)(1)(F) 

326 lAC 2-2-l(ww)(l)(G) 

326 lAC 2-2-4(b )(2)(vi) 

326 lAC 2-2-4(c)(4) 

326 lAC 2-3-l(mm)(3) 

326 lAC 2-3-l(pp) 

In addition, IDEM requests that U.S. EPA approve the related changes to Indiana's Title V 

Program in 326 lAC 2-7-1(21)(E)(vi) and 326 lAC 2-7-1(42)(C)(ii)(FF). 

These changes to Indiana's permitting rules address precursors to ozone and particulate 

matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal two and five-tenths (2.5) 

micrometers (PM2.5), and condensables for PM2.5. It is IDEM's intent that these changes also 

address the applicable requirements of Section 110(a)(l) and (2) ofthe Clean Air Act. IDEM is 

not requesting any action be taken on any other parts of the rulemaking included with this letter. 

This submittal consists of one (1) hard copy of the required documentation. An electronic 

version of the submittal in PDF format that is identical to the hard copy has been sent to Chris Panos at

the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive twenty-four (24) month period preceding the

particular date and representative of normal source operation. The department shall allow the use of a

different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual

emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and types of materials

processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.

(2) The department may presume that source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the

actual emissions of the unit.

(3) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall

equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.

(4) The term shall not apply for calculating a significant emissions increase under section 2(d) of this rule or for

establishing a PAL under 326 IAC 2-2.4. Instead, subsections (e) and (pp) shall apply for those purposes.

(c) "Adverse impact on visibility" means visibility impairment that interferes with the management, protection,

preservation, or enjoyment of the visitor's visual experience of the federal Class I area as defined in section 13 of

this rule. This determination must be made on a case-by-case basis taking into account the geographic extent,

(1) times of visitor use of the federal Class I area; and

(2) the frequency and timing of natural conditions that reduce visibility.

(d) "Allowable emissions" means the emissions rate of a stationary source calculated using the maximum

rated capacity of the source (unless a source is subject to enforceable permit limits that restrict the operating rate

or hours of operation, or both) and the most stringent of the:

(2) SIP emissions limitation, including those with a future compliance date; or

(3) emissions rate specified as an enforceable permit condition, including those with a future compliance date.

(e) "Baseline actual emissions" means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as

determined in accordance with the following:

(1) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at

which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by

the owner or operator within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins

actual construction of the project. The commissioner shall allow the use of a different time period upon a

determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. The baseline actual emissions shall be

determined in accordance with the following:

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated

with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred

Indiana Register

while the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1)

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the

emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each

regulated NSR pollutant.

(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is

inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this

amount if required by clause (B).

(2) For an existing emissions unit other than an electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the

average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten (10) year period

immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project or the

date a complete permit application is received by the department for a permit required by this rule, except that

the ten (10) year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990. The baseline actual

emissions shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated

with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred

while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

(C) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an

emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply had the major stationary

source been required to comply with the limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

However, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the U.S.

EPA proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR Part 63*, the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted

if the department has applied the emissions reductions to an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan

consistent with the requirements of 326 IAC 2-3-3(b)(12).

(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1)

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for all

the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for

each regulated NSR pollutant.

(E) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is

inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this

amount if required by clauses (B) and (C).

(3) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions

increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of the unit shall equal zero (0) and

thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's potential to emit.

(4) For a PAL for a stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated as follows:

(A) For an existing electric utility steam generating unit, in accordance with subdivision (1).

established:

(A) equal to or greater than one (1) microgram per cubic meter (μg/m3) (annual average) of the pollutant for

which the minor source baseline date is established. for sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), or

PM10; or

(B) equal to or greater than three-tenths (0.3) microgram per cubic meter (μg/m3) (annual average)

allowable increase or increases:

(A) Actual emissions, as defined in subsection (b), from any major stationary source on which construction

commenced after the major source baseline date.

of the pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutant that would exceed the

emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Part 60* and 40 CFR Part 61*. If the commissioner

determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a

particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions standard not feasible, a design, equipment,

work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirements

for the application of BACT. The standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction

determined by adjusting the MAI to include impacts from actual emissions:

(1) from any major stationary source or major modification on which construction commenced after the major

source baseline date; and

(2) increases and decreases at any source occurring after the minor source baseline date.

On a case-by-case basis, a source may petition the commissioner to use in excess of this eighty percent (80%).

The commissioner may authorize such use provided the source adequately demonstrates the need for the same.

(b) Increment consumption shall be in accordance with the following:

(1) The following allowable increments reflect the PSD increments for a Class II area (as defined in the CAA).

Indiana has no Class I or Class III areas; however, should some areas of the state be classified as Class I or

III, the PSD increments pursuant to 40 CFR Part 52.21* to which it must be adhered. New permits issued after

January 1, 1995, shall use PM10 as the indicator for particulate matter. PM. The allowable increments are as

follows:

Maximum Allowable Increments

Pollutants Allowable Increments (Micrograms per Cubic Meter, μg/m3

Limits)

(PM2.5):

Annual arithmetic mean 4

24-hour maximum 9

(B) Sulfur dioxide:

Annual arithmetic mean 20

24-hour maximum 91

3-hour maximum 512

(C) Nitrogen dioxide:

Annual arithmetic mean 25

(2) For any period other than the annual period, the applicable maximum allowable increase may be exceeded

during one (1) such period per year at any one (1) location.

(3) When an applicant proposes to construct a major stationary source or major modification in an area

designated as attainment or unclassified and the increments listed in subdivision (1) have been consumed, the

increased emissions from the source or modification may be permitted to be offset by reducing emissions in

the affected areas by an equal amount of the pollutant for which the area was designated as attainment or

unclassified.

(4) The following pollutant concentrations shall be excluded when determining compliance with a maximum

allowable increase:

(A) Concentrations attributable to the increase in emissions from sources that have converted from the use

the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974 over the emissions from such the sources

before the effective date of such an the order.

(B) Concentrations attributable to the increase in emissions from sources that have converted from using

natural gas by reason of a natural gas curtailment plan in effect pursuant to the Federal Power Act over the

emissions from such the sources before the effective date of such the plan.

(C) Concentrations of particulate matter PM attributable to the increase in emissions from construction or

other temporary emission-related activities of new or modified sources.

(D) Concentrations attributable to the temporary increase in emissions of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter,

PM, or nitrogen oxides from stationary sources that are affected by state implementation plan revisions

approved by U.S. EPA are excluded provided the following criteria is met:

(i) Such The exclusion shall not exceed two (2) years in duration unless a longer time is approved by the

commissioner and the U.S. EPA.

(ii) Such The exclusion is not renewable.

(iii) Such The exclusion shall allow no emissions increase that would impact a Class I area or an area

where an applicable increment is known to be violated, or cause or contribute to a violation of an ambient

air quality standard as designated in 326 IAC 1-3.

(iv) An emission limitation shall be in effect at the end of the time period specified in accordance with item

(i) that will ensure that the emissions levels will not exceed those levels occurring from such the source

before the exclusion was granted.

(5) No exclusion of such a concentration under subdivision (4)(A) through and (4)(B) shall apply more than

five (5) years after the date the exclusion is granted under this rule. If both such order and plan are applicable,

no such exclusion shall apply more than five (5) years after the latter of such the effective dates.

SECTION 7. 326 IAC 2-2-14 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-2-14 Sources impacting federal Class I areas: additional requirements

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3

Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 14. (a) The department shall provide written notice of any permit application for a proposed major

stationary source or major modification, the emissions from which may affect a Class I area, to the federal land

manager and the federal official charged with direct responsibility for management of any lands within any such

the Class I area. Such The notification shall be given within thirty (30) days of receipt of a permit application and

at least sixty (60) days prior to any public hearing on the application for a permit to construct and shall include the

following:

(1) A copy of all information relevant to the permit application.

(2) An analysis of the proposed source's anticipated impacts on visibility in the federal Class I area.

The department shall also provide the federal land manager and such the federal officials with a copy of the

preliminary determination required under this section, and shall make available to them any materials used in

making that determination, promptly after the department makes the determination. The department shall also

notify all affected federal land managers within thirty (30) days of receipt of any advance notification of any such

permit application that may affect a Class I area.

(b) The federal land manager and the federal official charged with direct responsibility for management of the

Class I area have an affirmative responsibility to protect the air quality related values, including visibility, of the

Class I area and to consider, in consultation with U.S. EPA, whether a proposed source or modification will have

an adverse impact on such the values.

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 27
(c) The department shall consider any analysis performed by the federal land manager, provided to the

department within thirty (30) days of the notification required by subsection (a), that shows that a proposed new

major stationary source or major modification may have an adverse impact on visibility in any federal Class I area.

Where the department finds that the analysis does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that an

adverse impact on visibility will result in the federal Class I area, the department must, in the notice of public

hearing on the permit application, either explain the decision or give notice as to where the explanation may be

obtained.

(d) The federal land manager of any Class I area may demonstrate to the department that the emissions from

a proposed major stationary source or major modification would have an adverse impact on the air quality-related

values, including visibility, of a Class I area, notwithstanding that the change in air quality resulting from emissions

from the major stationary source or major modification would not cause or contribute to concentrations that would

exceed the maximum allowable increases for a Class I area. If the department concurs with the demonstration,

then the department shall not issue the permit.

(e) The owner or operator of a proposed major stationary source or major modification may demonstrate to the

federal land manager that the emissions from the source or modification would have no adverse impact on the air

quality related values of any Class I areas, including visibility, notwithstanding that the change in air quality

resulting from emissions from the major stationary source or major modification would cause or contribute to

concentrations that would exceed the maximum allowable increases for a Class I area. If the federal land

manager concurs with the demonstration and the federal land manager so certifies, the department may issue the

permit provided that the applicable requirements of this section are otherwise met, to issue the permit with

emission limitations as may be necessary to assure that emissions of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, PM, and

nitrogen oxides shall not exceed the following maximum allowable increases over minor source baseline

concentration for such pollutants:

Maximum Allowable Increase

Pollutant Micrograms Per Cubic Meter (μg/m3)

Particulate matter: PM:

PM10, annual arithmetic mean 17

PM10, 24-hour maximum 30

PM2.5, annual arithmetic mean 4

PM2.5, 24-hour maximum 9

Sulfur dioxide:

Annual arithmetic mean 20

24-hour maximum 91

3-hour maximum 325

Nitrogen dioxide:

Annual arithmetic mean 25

(f) The owner or operator of a proposed major stationary source or major modification that cannot be approved

under subsection (e) may demonstrate to the department that the source cannot be constructed by reason of any

maximum allowable increase for sulfur dioxide for a period of twenty-four (24) hours or less applicable to any

Class I area and, in the case of federal mandatory Class I areas, that an exemption under this subsection would

not adversely affect the air quality related values of the area, including visibility. The department, after

consideration of the federal land manager's recommendation, if any, and subject to the federal land manager's

concurrence, may, after notice and public hearing, grant an exemption from such the maximum allowable

increase. If such the exemption is granted, the department shall issue a permit to such the major stationary

source or major modification pursuant to the requirements under subsection (h) provided that the applicable

requirements of this section are otherwise met.

(g) In any case where the department recommends an exemption in which the federal land manager does not

concur, the recommendations of the department and the federal land manager shall be transmitted to the

President. The President may approve the department's recommendation if the President finds that the exemption

is in the national interest. If the exemption is approved, the department shall issue a permit pursuant to the

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 28
requirements under subsection (h) provided that the applicable requirements of this section are otherwise met.

(h) In the case of a permit issued pursuant to under subsection (f) or (g), the major stationary source or major

modification shall comply with such the emission limitations as may be necessary to assure that emissions of

sulfur dioxide from the major stationary source or major modification would not, during any day on which the

otherwise applicable maximum allowable increases are exceeded, cause or contribute to concentrations that

would exceed the following maximum allowable increases over the baseline concentration and to assure that

such the emissions would not cause or contribute to concentrations that exceed the otherwise applicable

maximum allowable increases for periods of exposure of twenty-four (24) hours or less for more than eighteen

(18) days, not necessarily consecutive, during any annual period:

Maximum Allowable Increase

(Micrograms Per Cubic Meter) of Sulfur Dioxide

Terrain Areas

Period of Exposure Low High

24-hour maximum 36 62

3-hour maximum 130 221

(i) The department shall transmit to the U.S. EPA a copy of each permit application relating to a major

stationary source or major modification and provide notice to the U.S. EPA of the following actions related to

consideration of such the permit under this section:

(1) Receipt of an advanced notification of a permit application affected by this section.

(2) Any written notice provided to the federal land manager under this section.

(3) Public notice of a preliminary determination.

(4) Notices of public hearings.

(5) Decisions to grant or deny exemptions in accordance with this section.

(6) Any decision in accordance with subsection (c) that an analysis submitted by the federal land manager

does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that an adverse impact on visibility will result in the

Class I area.

(7) Denial of a permit.

(8) Issuance of a permit.

SECTION 8. 326 IAC 2-3-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-1 Definitions

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3

Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 1. (a) The definitions in this section apply throughout this rule.

(b) "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit

as determined in accordance with the following:

(1) In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which

the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive twenty-four (24) month period that:

(A) precedes the particular date; and

(B) is representative of normal source operation.

The commissioner shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more

representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual

operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected

time period.

(2) The commissioner may presume that source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the

actual emissions of the unit.

(3) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 29
equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.

(4) The term shall not apply for calculating a significant emissions increase under section 2(c) of this rule or for

establishing a PAL under 326 IAC 2-3.4. Instead, subsections (d) and (kk) shall apply for those purposes.

(c) "Allowable emissions" means the emissions rate of a source calculated using the maximum rated capacity

of the source unless a source is subject to enforceable permit limits that restrict the operating rate or hours of

operation, or both, and the most stringent of the following:

(1) The applicable standards as set forth in 40 CFR Part 60, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)*,

and 40 CFR Part 61, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)*.

(2) The emissions limitation imposed by any rule in this title, including those with a future compliance date.

(3) The emissions rate specified as an enforceable permit condition, including those with a future compliance

date.

(d) "Baseline actual emissions" means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as

determined as follows:

(1) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at

which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by

the owner or operator within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins

actual construction of the project. The commissioner may allow the use of a different time period upon a

determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. The baseline actual emissions shall be

determined in accordance with the following:

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated

with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred

while the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1)

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the

emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each

regulated NSR pollutant.

(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is

inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this

amount if required by clause (B).

(2) For an existing emissions unit, other than an electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the

average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten (10) year period

immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project or the

date a complete permit application is received by the department for a permit required under 326 IAC 2-3,

except that the ten (10) year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990. The baseline

actual emissions shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated

with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions and to the extent they are affected by the project.

(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred

while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

(C) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an

emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply had the major stationary

source been required to comply with the limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.

However, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the U.S.

EPA proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR Part 63*, the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted

if the state has applied the emissions reduction to an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan

consistent with the requirements of section 3(b)(12) of this rule.

(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1)

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the

emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each

regulated NSR pollutant.

(E) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is

inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this

amount if required by clauses (B) and (C).

(3) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 30
increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of the unit shall equal zero (0) and

thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's potential to emit.

(4) For a PAL for a major stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for existing

electric utility steam generating units in accordance with the procedures contained in subdivision (1), for other

existing emissions units in accordance with the procedures contained in subdivision (2), and for a new

emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in subdivision (3).

(e) "Begin actual construction" means, in general, initiation of physical on-site construction activities on an

emissions unit that are of a permanent nature. These activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Installation of building supports and foundations.

(2) Laying underground pipework.

(3) Construction of permanent storage structures.

With respect to a change in method of operations, the term refers to those on-site activities, other than

preparatory activities, that mark the initiation of the change.

(f) "Best available control technology" or "BACT" means an emissions limitation, including a visible emission

standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated NSR pollutant that would be emitted

from any proposed major stationary source or major modification that the commissioner, on a case-by-case basis,

taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for

the source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and

techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of the

pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutant that would exceed the

emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Part 60* or 40 CFR Part 61*. If the commissioner

determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a

particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions standard infeasible, a design, equipment,

work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement

for the application of BACT. The standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction

achievable by implementation of the design, equipment, work practice, or operation and shall provide for

compliance by means that achieve equivalent results.

(g) "Building, structure, facility, or installation" means all of the pollutant-emitting activities that belong to the

same industrial grouping, are located on one (1) or more contiguous or adjacent properties, and are under the

control of the same person or persons under common control. Pollutant-emitting activities shall be considered as

two (2) digit code, as described in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1972, as amended by the 1977

supplement, U.S. Government Printing Office*.

(h) "Clean coal technology" means any technology, including technologies applied at the precombustion,

combustion, or postcombustion stage, at a new or existing facility that will achieve significant reductions in air

emissions of sulfur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen oxides associated with the utilization of coal in the generation of

electricity or process steam that was not in widespread use as of November 15, 1990.

(i) "Clean coal technology demonstration project" means a project using funds appropriated under the heading

"Department of Energy-Clean Coal Technology", up to a total amount of two billion five hundred million dollars

($2,500,000,000) for commercial demonstration of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through

appropriations for the U.S. EPA. The federal contribution for a qualifying project shall be at least twenty percent

(20%) of the total cost of the demonstration project.

(j) "Commence", as applied to construction of a major stationary source or major modification, means that the

owner or operator has all necessary preconstruction approvals or permits and either has:

(1) begun, or caused to begin, a continuous program of actual on-site construction of the source to be

completed within a reasonable time; or

(2) entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without

substantial loss to the owner or operator, to undertake a program of actual construction of the source to be

completed within a reasonable time.

(k) "Complete", in reference to an application for a permit, means that the application contains all of the

information necessary for processing the application. Designating an application complete for purposes of permit

Indiana Register

(l) "Construction" means any physical change or change in the method of operation, including:

(1) fabrication;

(2) erection;

(3) installation;

(4) demolition; or

(5) modification;

of an emissions unit, that would result in a change in actual emissions.

(m) "Continuous emissions monitoring system" or "CEMS" means all of the equipment that may be required to

meet the data acquisition and availability requirements of this rule to complete the following:

(1) Sample emissions on a continuous basis.

(2) If applicable, condition emissions.

(3) Analyze emissions on a continuous basis.

(4) Provide a record of emissions on a continuous basis.

(n) "Continuous emissions rate monitoring system" or "CERMS" means the total equipment required for the

determination and recording of the pollutant mass emissions rate in terms of mass per unit of time.

(o) "Continuous parameter monitoring system" or "CPMS" means all of the equipment necessary to meet the

data acquisition and availability requirements of this rule to:

(1) monitor:

(A) process and control device operational parameters; and

(B) other information, such as gas flow rate, O2or CO2concentrations; and

(2) record average operational parameter values on a continuous basis.

(p) "De minimis", in reference to an emissions increase of VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless a NOX

waiver is in effect) from a modification in a serious or severe ozone nonattainment area, means an increase that

does not exceed twenty-five (25) tons per year when the net emissions increases from the proposed modification

are aggregated on a pollutant specific basis with all other net emissions increases from the source over a five (5)

consecutive calendar year period prior to, and including, the year of the modification.

(q) "Electric utility steam generating unit" means any steam electric generating unit that is constructed for the

purpose of supplying more than one-third (1/3) of its potential electric output capacity and more than twenty-five

(25) megawatts electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Any steam supplied to a steam

distribution system for the purpose of providing steam to a steam-electric generator that would produce electrical

energy for sale is also considered in determining the electrical energy output capacity of the affected facility.

(r) "Emissions unit" means any part of a stationary source that emits or would have the potential to emit any

regulated NSR pollutant. For purposes of this rule, there are the following two (2) types of emissions units:

(1) A new emissions unit is any emissions unit that is, or will be, newly constructed and that has existed for

less than two (2) years from the date the emissions unit first operated.

(2) An existing emissions unit is any emissions unit that does not meet the requirements in subdivision (1). A

replacement unit is an existing emissions unit.

increase in emissions.

(x) "Lowest achievable emission rate" or "LAER" means, for any source, the more stringent rate of emissions

based on the most stringent emissions limitation of the following:

(1) Contained in the implementation plan of any state for the class or category of stationary source unless the

owner or operator of the proposed stationary source demonstrates that the limitations are not achievable.

(2) Achieved in practice by the class or category of stationary source. This limitation, when applied to a

modification, means the LAER for the new or modified emissions unit within the stationary source. In no event

shall the application of the LAER allow a proposed new or modified stationary source to emit any pollutant in

excess of the amount allowable under applicable new source standards of performance.

(y) "Major modification" means any physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, a major

stationary source that would result in a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase of

a regulated NSR pollutant from the major stationary source or, in an area that is classified as either a serious or

severe ozone nonattainment area, an increase in VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless a NOXwaiver is in

effect) emissions that is not de minimis. The following provisions apply:

(1) Any significant emissions increase from any emissions units or net emissions increase at a major

stationary source that is significant for VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless a NOXwaiver is in effect)

shall be considered significant for ozone.

(2) A physical change or change in the method of operation shall not include the following:

(A) Routine maintenance, repair, and replacement.

(B) Use of an alternative fuel or raw material by reason of an order under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) of the

Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974 or by reason of a natural gas curtailment plan

under the Federal Power Act.

decreases from any source modification project is less than zero (0).

(cc) "Net emissions increase", with respect to any regulated NSR pollutant emitted by a major stationary

source, means the following:

(1) The amount by which the sum of the following exceeds zero (0):

(A) The increase in emissions from a particular physical change or change in the method of operation at a

stationary source as calculated under section 2(c) and 2(d) of this rule.

(B) Any other increases and decreases in actual emissions at the major stationary source that are

contemporaneous with the particular change and are otherwise creditable. Baseline actual emissions for

calculating increases and decreases under this clause shall be determined as provided in subsection (d),

except that subsection (d)(1)(C) and (d)(2)(D) shall not apply.

(2) For the purpose of determining de minimis in an area classified as serious or severe for ozone, the amount

CFR Part 51, Subpart I* or the state has not relied on it in demonstrating attainment or reasonable further

progress; and

(DD) it has approximately the same qualitative significance for public health and welfare as that attributed

to the increase from the particular change.

(v) An increase that results from the physical change at a source occurs when the emissions unit on which

program that has been approved by the U.S. EPA and incorporated into the SIP to implement the federal

requirements of 40 CFR Part 51.165*, or a program that implements 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix S, Sections I

through VI*. Any permit issued under the program is a major NSR permit.

(ff) "Pollution prevention" means the following:

(1) Any activity that eliminates or reduces the release of air pollutants, including fugitive emissions, and other

pollutants to the environment prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal through:

(A) process changes;

(B) product reformulation or redesign; or

(C) substitution of less polluting raw materials.

(2) The term does not include:

(A) recycling, except certain in-process recycling practices;

(B) energy recovery;

(C) treatment; or

(D) disposal.

(gg) "Potential to emit" means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit a pollutant under its

physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a

pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount

of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design only if the limitation or the effect

it would have on emissions is enforceable as a practical matter. Secondary emissions do not count in determining

the potential to emit of a stationary source.

(hh) "Predictive emissions monitoring system" or "PEMS" means all of the equipment necessary to:

(1) monitor:

(A) process and control device operational parameters; and

(B) other information, such as gas flow rate, O2or CO2concentrations; and

(2) calculate and record the mass emissions rate on a continuous basis.

(ii) "Prevention of significant deterioration permit" or "PSD permit" means any permit that is issued under 326

IAC 2-2 or under the program in 40 CFR Part 52.21*.

(jj) "Project" means a physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, an existing major stationary

(1) The maximum annual rate, in tons per year, at which an existing emissions unit is projected to emit a

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 35
regulated NSR pollutant in any consecutive twelve (12) month period of the five (5) years following the date

the unit resumes regular operation after the project, or in any consecutive twelve (12) month period of the ten

(10) years following the date the unit resumes regular operation, if the project involves increasing the

emissions unit's design capacity or its potential to emit of that regulated NSR pollutant and full utilization of the

unit would result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase at the major

stationary source.

(2) In determining the projected actual emissions before beginning actual construction, the owner or operator

of the major stationary source:

(A) shall:

(i) consider all relevant information, including, but not limited to:

(AA) historical operational data;

(BB) the company's own representations;

(CC) the company's expected business activity and the company's highest projections of business

activity;

(DD) the company's filings with the state or federal regulatory authorities; and

(EE) compliance plans under the approved plan;

(ii) include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with start-ups,

shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project; and

(iii) exclude, in calculating any increase in emissions that results from the particular project, that portion of

the unit's emissions following the project that an existing unit could have accommodated during the

consecutive twenty-four (24) month period used to establish the baseline actual emissions under

subsection (d) and that is also unrelated to the particular project, including any increased utilization due to

product demand growth; or

(B) in lieu of using the method set out in clause (A), may elect to use the emissions unit's potential to emit, in

tons per year, as defined under subsection (gg).

(ll) "Reasonable further progress" or "RFP" means the annual incremental reductions in emissions of a

pollutant that are sufficient in the judgment of the board to provide reasonable progress towards attainment of the

(1) Nitrogen oxides or any VOC.

(2) Any pollutant for which a national ambient air quality standard has been promulgated.

(3) Any pollutant that is a constituent or precursor of a general pollutant listed under subdivision (1) or (2)

provided that a constituent or precursor pollutant may only be regulated under NSR as part of regulation of the

general pollutant. For purposes of NSR:

(A) VOC and nitrogen oxides are precursors to ozone in all ozone nonattainment areas;

(B) sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are precursors to PM2.5 in all PM2.5 nonattainment areas; and

(C) VOC and ammonia are not precursors to PM2.5 in any PM2.5 nonattainment area.

(nn) "Replacement unit" means an emissions unit for which all the criteria listed in subdivisions (1) through (4)

are met. No creditable emission reductions shall be generated from shutting down the existing emission unit that

is replaced. The following applies:

(1) The emissions unit is a reconstructed unit within the meaning of 40 CFR 60.15(b)(1)*, or the emissions unit

completely takes the place of an existing emissions unit.

(2) The emissions unit is identical to or functionally equivalent to the replaced emissions unit.

(3) The replacement does not alter the basic design parameters, as discussed in 40 CFR 51.165(h)(2), of the

process unit.

(4) The replaced emissions unit is permanently removed from the major stationary source, otherwise

permanently disabled, or permanently barred from operation by a permit that is enforceable as a practical

matter. If the replaced emissions unit is brought back into operation, it shall constitute a new emissions unit.

(oo) "Secondary emission" means emissions that would occur as a result of the construction or operation of a

major stationary source or major modification, but do not come from the major stationary source or major

modification itself. For the purpose of this rule, secondary emissions must be specific, well-defined, quantifiable,

and impact the same general area as the stationary source or modification that causes the secondary emissions.

Secondary emissions may include, but are not limited to, emissions from:

(1) ships or trains coming to or from the new or modified stationary source; and

(2) an off-site support facility that would not otherwise be constructed or increase its emissions as a result of

SECTION 9. 326 IAC 2-3-2 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-2 Applicability

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3

Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 2. (a) This rule applies to new major stationary sources or major modifications constructed in an area

designated, as of the date of submittal of a complete application, as nonattainment in 326 IAC 1-4, for a pollutant

for which the stationary source or modification is major.

(b) This rule applies to modifications of major stationary sources of VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless

a NOXwaiver is in effect) in serious and severe ozone nonattainment areas as follows:

(1) A modification of a major stationary source with a de minimis increase in emissions shall be exempt from

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 37
section 3 of this rule.

(2) A modification having an increase in emissions that is not de minimis to an existing major stationary source

that does not have the potential to emit one hundred (100) tons or more of VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides

(unless a NOXwaiver is in effect) per year will not be subject to section 3(a) of this rule if the owner or operator

of the source elects to internal offset the increase by a ratio of one and three-tenths (1.3) to one (1). If the

owner or operator does not make the election or is unable to, section 3(a) of this rule applies, except that

BACT shall be substituted for LAER required by section 3(a)(2) of this rule.

(3) A modification having an increase in emissions that is not de minimis to an existing major stationary source

emitting or having the potential to emit one hundred (100) tons of VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless a

NOXwaiver is in effect) or more per year will be subject to the requirements of section 3(a) of this rule, except

that the owner or operator may elect to internal offset the increase at a ratio of one and three-tenths (1.3) to

one (1) as a substitute for LAER required by section 3(a)(2) of this rule.

(c) The requirements of this rule will be applied in accordance with the following:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (k) and consistent with the definition of major modification in

section 1(y) of this rule, a project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if it causes a significant

emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase except for VOC emissions in a severe or serious

nonattainment area for ozone. The project is not a major modification if it does not cause a significant

emissions increase. If the project causes a significant emissions increase, then the project is a major

modification only if it also results in a significant net emissions increase.

(2) Prior to beginning actual construction, the procedure for calculating whether a significant emissions

increase will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified, in accordance with this

subsection, except for VOC emissions in a severe or serious nonattainment area for ozone. The procedure for

calculating, before beginning actual construction, whether a significant net emissions increase will occur at the

major stationary source is contained in section 1(cc) of this rule. Regardless of any preconstruction

projections, a major modification results if the project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant

net emissions increase.

(3) For an actual-to-projected-actual applicability test for projects that only involve existing emissions units, a

significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference

between the projected actual emissions and the baseline actual emissions for each existing emissions unit

equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.

(4) For an actual-to-potential applicability test for projects that only involve construction of new emissions

units, a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the

difference between the potential to emit from each new emissions unit following completion of the project and

the baseline actual emissions of these units before the project equals or exceeds the significant amount for

that pollutant.

(5) For projects that involve a combination of emission units using the tests in subdivisions (3) and (4), a

significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the emissions

increases for each emissions unit, using the method specified in subdivisions (3) and (4), as applicable, with

respect to each emissions unit, for each type of emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for

that pollutant.

(d) At the time that a particular source or modification becomes a major stationary source or major

modification solely by virtue of a relaxation in any enforceable limitation that was established after August 7, 1980,

on the capacity of the source or modification otherwise to emit a pollutant, such as a restriction on hours of

operation, then this rule applies to the source or modification as though construction had not yet commenced on

the source or modification.

(e) In the case of an area that has been redesignated nonattainment, any source that would not have been

required to submit a permit application under 326 IAC 2-2 concerning the prevention of significant deterioration

will not be subject to this rule if construction commences within eighteen (18) months of the area's redesignation.

(f) Major stationary sources or major modifications that would locate in any area designated as attainment or

unclassifiable in the state and would exceed the following significant impact levels at any locality, for any pollutant

that is designated as nonattainment, must meet the requirements specified in section 3(a)(1) through 3(a)(3) of

this rule. All values are expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3):

Pollutant Annual 24-hour 8-hour 3-hour 1-hour

Sulfur dioxide 1 5 X 25 X

Total suspended particulates 1 5 X X X

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 38
PM10 1 5 X X X

PM2.5 0.3 1.2 X X X

Nitrous oxides 1 X X X X

Carbon monoxide X X 500 X 2,000

(g) This rule does not apply to a source or modification, other than a source of VOC or oxides of nitrogen

oxides (unless a NOXwaiver is in effect) in a serious or severe ozone nonattainment area or a source of PM10 in

a serious PM10 area, that would be a major stationary source or major modification only if fugitive emissions, to

the extent quantifiable, are considered in calculating the potential to emit of the stationary source or modification

and the source does not belong to any of the following categories:

(1) Coal cleaning plants (with thermal driers).

(2) Kraft pulp mills.

(3) Portland cement plants.

(4) Primary zinc smelters.

(5) Iron and steel mill plants.

(6) Primary aluminum ore reduction plants.

(7) Primary copper smelters.

(8) Municipal incinerators capable of charging more than two hundred fifty (250) tons of refuse per day.

(9) Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, and nitric acid plants.

(10) Petroleum refineries.

(11) Lime plants.

(12) Phosphate rock processing plants.

(13) Coke oven batteries.

(14) Sulfur recovery plants.

(15) Carbon black plants (furnace process).

(16) Primary lead smelters.

(17) Fuel conversion plants.

(18) Sintering plants.

(19) Secondary metal production plants.

(20) Chemical process plants, excluding ethanol production facilities that produce ethanol by natural

fermentation included in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes 325193 for Ethyl

Alcohol Manufacturing or 312140 for Distilleries, as revised in 2007*.

(21) Fossil-fuel boilers (or combinations thereof) totaling more than two hundred fifty million (250,000,000)

British thermal units per hour heat input.

(22) Petroleum storage and transfer unit with a storage capacity exceeding three hundred thousand (300,000)

barrels.

(23) Taconite ore processing plants.

(24) Glass fiber processing plants.

(25) Charcoal production plants.

(26) Fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) British thermal

units per hour heat input.

(27) Any other stationary source category that, as of August 7, 1980, is being regulated under Section 111 or

112 of the CAA.

(h) For purposes of this rule, secondary emissions from a source need not be considered in determining

whether the source would qualify as a major source. If a source is subject to this rule on the basis of the direct

emissions from the source, the applicable conditions must also be met for secondary emissions. The secondary

emissions may be exempt from the requirements specified in section 3(a)(2) through 3(a)(3) of this rule.

(i) HAPs listed in and regulated by 326 IAC 14-1 are not exempt from this rule.

(j) The installation, operation, cessation, or removal of temporary clean coal technology demonstration projects

funded under the Department of Energy-Clean Coal Technology Appropriations may be exempt from the

requirements of section 3 of this rule. To qualify for this exemption, the project must:

(1) be at an existing facility;

(2) operate for not more than five (5) years; and

(3) comply with all other applicable rules for the area.

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 39
(k) For any major stationary source operating under a PAL for a regulated NSR pollutant, the major stationary

source shall comply with requirements under 326 IAC 2-3.4.

(l) The following specific provisions apply with respect to any regulated NSR pollutant emitted from projects at

existing emissions units at a major stationary source, other than projects at a source with a PAL, in circumstances

where there is a reasonable possibility, within the meaning of this subsection, that a project that is not a part of a

major modification may result in a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant, and the owner or

operator elects to use the method specified in section 1(kk)(2)(A) of this rule for calculating projected actual

emissions:

(1) Before beginning actual construction of the project, the owner or operator shall document and maintain a

record of the following information:

(A) A description of the project.

(B) Identification of the emissions units whose emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant could be affected by

the project.

(C) A description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for

any regulated NSR pollutant, including the following:

(i) The baseline actual emissions.

(ii) The projected actual emissions.

(iii) The amount of emissions excluded under section 1(kk)(2)(A)(iii) of this rule and an explanation for why

the amount was excluded.

(iv) Any netting calculations, if applicable.

(2) If the emissions unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, before beginning actual

construction, the owner or operator shall provide a copy of the information set out in subdivision (1) to the

department. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require the owner or operator of the unit to obtain

any determination from the department before beginning actual construction.

(3) The owner or operator shall:

(A) monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant that could increase as a result of the project and

that is emitted by any emissions units identified in subdivision (1)(B); and

(B) calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basis, for a

period of five (5) years following resumption of regular operations after the change, or for a period of ten

(10) years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project increases the design

capacity or potential to emit of that regulated NSR pollutant at the emissions unit.

(4) If the unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall submit a report to

the department within sixty (60) days after the end of each year during which records must be generated

under subdivision (3) setting out the unit's annual emissions during the year that preceded submission of the

report.

(5) If the unit is an existing unit other than an electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall

submit a report to the department if the annual emissions, in tons per year, from the project identified in

subdivision (1), exceed the baseline actual emissions, as documented and maintained under subdivision

(1)(C), by a significant amount for that regulated NSR pollutant, and if the emissions differ from the

preconstruction projection as documented and maintained under subdivision (1)(C). The report shall be

submitted to the department within sixty (60) days after the end of the year. The report shall contain the

following:

(A) The name, address, and telephone number of the major stationary source.

(B) The annual emissions as calculated under subdivision (3).

(C) The emissions calculated under the actual to projected actual test stated in subsection (c)(3).

(D) Any other information that the owner or operator wishes to include in the report.

(6) A reasonable possibility under this subsection occurs when the owner or operator calculates the project to

result in either:

(A) a projected actual emissions increase of at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant

emissions increase, as defined in section 1(qq) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a

significant net emissions increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant; or

(B) a projected actual emissions increase that, added to the amount of emissions excluded under section

1(kk)(2)(A)(iii), sums to at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant emissions increase, as

defined in section 1(qq) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions

increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant. For a project for which a reasonable possibility occurs only within

the meaning of this clause, and not also within the meaning of clause (A), then subdivisions (2) through (5)

do not apply to the project.

(7) The owner or operator of the source shall make the information required to be documented and maintained

under subdivisions (1) through (5) available for review upon a request for inspection by the department. The

SECTION 10. 326 IAC 2-3-3 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-3 Applicable requirements

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3

Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 3. (a) Prior to the issuance of a construction permit to a source subject to this rule, the applicant shall

comply with the following requirements:

(1) The proposed major new source or major modification shall demonstrate that the source will meet all

applicable requirements of this title, any applicable new source performance standard in 40 CFR Part 60*, or

any national emission standard for HAPs in 40 CFR Part 61*. If the commissioner determines that the

proposed major new source cannot meet the applicable emission requirements, the permit to construct will be

denied.

(2) The applicant will apply emission limitation devices or techniques to the proposed construction or

modification such that the LAER for the applicable pollutant will be achieved.

(3) The applicant shall either demonstrate that:

(A) all existing major sources owned or operated by the applicant in the state are in compliance with all

applicable emission limitations and standards contained in the CAA and in this title; or

(B) they are in compliance with a federally enforceable compliance schedule requiring compliance as

expeditiously as practicable.

(4) The applicant shall submit an analysis of alternative sites, sizes, production processes, and environmental

control techniques for the proposed source that demonstrates that benefits of the proposed source

significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its location, construction, or

modification.

(5) Emissions resulting from the proposed construction or modification shall be offset by a reduction in actual

emissions of the same pollutant from an existing source or combination of existing sources. The emission

offset shall be such that there will be reasonable further progress toward attainment of the applicable ambient

air quality standards as follows:

(A) Greater than one-for-one unless otherwise specified.

(B) For ozone nonattainment areas, the following table shall determine the minimum offset ratio

requirements for major stationary sources of VOC or oxides of nitrogen oxides (unless a NOXwaiver is in

effect):

Ozone Classification Minimum Offset Requirements

Marginal 1.1 to 1

Moderate 1.15 to 1

Serious 1.2 to 1

Severe 1.3 to 1

(6) The total tonnage of increased emissions, in tons per year, resulting from a major modification that must be

offset in accordance with Section 173 of the CAA shall be determined by summing the difference between the

allowable emissions after the modification and the actual emissions before the modification for each emissions

unit.

(7) The applicant shall obtain the necessary preconstruction approvals and shall meet all the permit

requirements specified in 326 IAC 2-5.1 or 326 IAC 2-7, as applicable.

(8) Approval to construct shall not relieve any owner or operator of the responsibility to comply fully with an

applicable provision of the SIP and any other requirements under local, state, or federal law.

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 41
(b) The following provisions shall apply to all emission offset evaluations:

(1) Emission offsets shall be determined on a tons per year and, whenever possible, a pounds per hour basis

when all facilities requiring offset involved in the emission offset calculations are operating at their maximum

potential or allowed production rate. When offsets are calculated on a tons per year basis, the baseline

emissions for existing sources providing the offsets shall be calculated using the allowed or actual annual

operating hours, whichever is less.

(2) The baseline for determining credit for emission offsets will be the emission limitations or actual emissions,

whichever is lower, in effect at the time the application to construct or modify a source is filed. Credit for

emission offset purposes may be allowable for existing control that goes beyond that required by

source-specific emission limitations contained in this title.

(3) In cases where the applicable rule under this title does not contain an emission limitation for a source or

source category, the emission offset baseline involving the sources shall be the actual emissions determined

at their maximum expected or allowable production rate.

(4) In cases where emission limitations for existing sources allow greater emissions than the potential to emit

of the source, emission offset credit shall only be allowed for emissions controlled below the potential to emit.

(5) A source may receive offset credit from emission reductions achieved by shutting down an existing source

or permanently curtailing production or operating hours below baseline levels if the reductions are permanent,

quantifiable, and federally enforceable, as follows:

(A) If the area has an attainment plan approved by the U.S. EPA, the shutdown or curtailment is creditable

only if it occurred on or after the date of the most recent emissions inventory or attainment demonstration.

However, in no event may credit be given for shutdowns that occurred prior to August 7, 1977. For purposes

of this clause, the department may choose to consider a prior shutdown or curtailment to have occurred

after the date of its most recent emissions inventory if the inventory explicitly includes, as current existing

emissions, the emissions from the previously shutdown or curtailed sources.

(B) The reductions may be credited in the absence of an approved attainment demonstration only if the:

(i) shutdown or curtailment occurred on or after the date the new source permit application is filed; or

(ii) applicant can establish that the proposed new source is a replacement for the shutdown or curtailed

source and the cutoff date provisions in clause (A) are observed.

(6) Emission offset credit involving an existing fuel combustion source will be based on the allowable

emissions under other rules of this title for the type of fuel being burned at the time the new source application

is filed. If the existing source commits to switch to a cleaner fuel at some future date, emission offset credit

based on the allowable emissions for the fuels involved is acceptable, provided the permit is conditioned to

require the use of a specific alternative control measure that would achieve the same degree of emission

reduction should the source switch back to a dirtier fuel at some later date. The commissioner will grant

emission offset credit for fuel switching only after ensuring that adequate supplies of the new fuel are available

at least for the next ten (10) years.

(7) In the case of VOC emissions, no emission offset credit may be allowed for replacing one (1) hydrocarbon

compound with another of lesser reactivity, except for those compounds defined as nonphotochemically

reactive hydrocarbons in 326 IAC 1-2-48.

(8) No emission reduction may be approved to offset emissions that cannot be federally enforced. Offsetting

emissions shall be considered federally enforceable if the reduction is included as a condition in the applicable

permit as specified in 326 IAC 2-5.1 or 326 IAC 2-7 if issued under a federally-approved air permit program.

(9) Emission reductions required under any other rule adopted by the board shall not be creditable as

emission reductions and therefore cannot be used for emission offsets.

(10) Incidental emission reductions that are not otherwise required by any other rule adopted by the board

shall be creditable as emission reductions for emission offsets if the emission reductions meet all of the other

requirements for offsets.

(11) A source may offset by alternative or innovative means emission increases from rocket engine or motor

firing and cleaning related to the firing at an existing or modified major source that tests rocket engines or

motors under the following conditions:

(A) Any modification proposed is solely for the purpose of expanding the testing of rocket engines or motors

at an existing source that is permitted to test the engines on November 15, 1990.

(B) The source demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department that:

(i) it has used all reasonable means to obtain and utilize offsets, as determined on an annual basis, for the

emissions increases beyond allowable levels;

(ii) all available offsets are being used; and

(iii) sufficient offsets are not available to the source.

(C) The source has obtained a written finding from:

(i) the Department of Defense;

Indiana Register

(ii) the Department of Transportation;

(iii) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; or

(iv) another appropriate federal agency;

that the testing of rocket motors or engines at the facility is required for a program essential to the national

security.

(D) The source will comply with an alternative measure, imposed by the department, designed to offset any

emission increases beyond permitted levels not directly offset by the source.

(12) Credit for an emissions reduction can be claimed to the extent that the department has not relied on the

emission reduction credit in:

(A) issuing any permit under regulations approved pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart I*; or

(B) a demonstration for attainment or reasonable further progress.

Affected: IC 13-11; IC 13-17

Sec. 5. (a) Except as provided in section 4(b) of this rule, a violation of this rule shall constitute prima facie

evidence of a violation of the applicable mass emission limitation. A violation of the mass emission rule may be

refuted by a performance test conducted in accordance with 326 IAC 3-6. The test shall refute the mass emission

violation only if the source is shown to be in compliance with the allowable mass emission limit. An exceedance of

the allowable opacity emission limit during a performance test shall not be treated as a violation of the applicable

mass emission limitation if, during the test described in 326 IAC 3-6, the source demonstrates compliance with

the allowable mass emission limit while simultaneously having opacity more than or equal to the reading at which

the exceedance was originally observed.

(b) If a source or facility believes it can operate in compliance with the applicable mass emission limitation, but

exceeds the limits specified in section 2 of this rule, the owner or operator may submit a written petition to the

commissioner requesting that an alternate opacity limitation (AOL) be established, as follows:

(1) The petition must be submitted to the commissioner, and a copy submitted to the local air pollution control

agency, if applicable, no not later than sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled performance test date. The

petition must contain, contain, at a minimum, the following information:

(A) Source name and address.

(B) Address of affected source if different from clause (A).

(C) List of potentially affected parties.

(D) Identification of control device or devices and typical operating parameters.

(E) Applicable particulate matter (PM, or PM10, or PM2.5) and opacity limits.

(F) Other applicable rule requirements or permit conditions.

(G) Proposed alternative opacity limit.

(H) The reason or reasons for requesting the alternative opacity limit.

(I) Complete test protocol in accordance with 326 IAC 3-6.

(2) The alternative opacity limit shall be based upon a series of three (3) complete mass emission tests (nine

(9) sample runs) conducted according to the procedures specified in 326 IAC 3 and three (3) opacity tests

conducted simultaneously, according to section 4 of this rule. Where the commissioner determines there is no

acceptable test method available, a request for an alternative opacity limit shall be denied.

(3) The performance tests must be witnessed by the commissioner, U.S. EPA, the local air pollution control

agency, or their authorized representatives unless other arrangements are made in advance of the start of the

testing that will allow the testing to proceed without agency staff present to observe the tests.

(4) The owner or operator must demonstrate that the following conditions were met during the performance

test:

(A) The source or emissions unit was operated according to its permitted conditions and under normal or

representative operating conditions.

(B) The associated air pollution control system was installed and was being operated as specified in any

applicable permit condition or conditions.

(C) The air pollution control equipment was:

(i) properly maintained and in good operating condition; and was

(ii) operated according to the manufacturer's recommended operating conditions to minimize emissions

and opacity.

(D) The affected emissions unit and associated air pollution control equipment were incapable of being

adjusted or operated to meet the applicable opacity limit, except during:

(i) periods when the control equipment is not operating properly; or

Indiana Register

Date: Jul 11,2012 3:27:26PM EDT DIN: 20120711-IR-326110251FRA Page 76
(ii) other exempt periods under section 3 of this rule.

(E) Each test was conducted under reasonably similar operating conditions.

(F) Any other conditions as required by the commissioner or the U.S. EPA.

(5) The commissioner may require one (1) or more of the following:

(A) The installation of a continuous opacity monitoring system that meets the requirements of 326 IAC 3.

(B) Monitoring sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the alternative opacity limit.

(C) Regular reporting to verify compliance with the alternative opacity limit.

(6) The alternative opacity limit shall only apply to the emissions unit for which the alternative opacity limit was

originally established and shall not be extended to any other unit or units.

(7) For multiple units or processes with a common stack, all units must be in operation during the entire test

series unless operational limitations are specified in the operation permit or simultaneous operation does not

conform with the source's operating procedures.

(8) The alternative opacity limit shall be determined based on the results of the performance tests.

(9) The particulate matter test results for each sample run must demonstrate compliance with all applicable

particulate matter limits or standards. If noncompliance is demonstrated during any sample run, the test series

is not valid for an alternative opacity limit determination.

(10) The alternative opacity limit established for a source shall be incorporated by amendment into the

source's operating permit and submitted to the U.S. EPA in accordance with section 7 of this rule.

(11) If the alternative opacity limit exceeds an applicable new source performance standard (NSPS) opacity

limit, the provisions in 40 CFR 60.11* must be satisfied in addition to the procedures in this rule. The

procedures shall be approved by the U.S. EPA, the commissioner, and the local air pollution control agency as

appropriate.

(c) Nothing in this rule shall be construed as allowing an exception or exemption from a requirement in a state

or federal new source performance standard without approval by the U.S. EPA.
