Once the Secretary has determined HMSER for a stationary source and this determination has been included in an order or agreement entered into or issued under the authority of the Act, 3 V.S.A. §2822 or other State statutes, said determination shall remain in effect for five years, unless the source is modified or reconstructed during said five years. At the end of said five years, the determination shall expire unless the source demonstrates to the Secretary that such emission rate still represents HMSER.

(3)	Air Quality Impact Evaluation

      The Secretary may require any person subject to this section to submit to him or her an air quality impact evaluation which shall demonstrate whether the actual emissions from the source, in conjunction with emissions from all other sources, will or will not cause or contribute to ambient air concentrations in excess of any Hazardous Ambient Air Standard as set forth in Appendix C of these regulations. Said evaluation shall be performed in accordance with the Agency's air quality impact evaluation guidelines (revised November 20, 1992) and shall include an analysis of ambient air monitoring data for each contaminant evaluated, if reliable and representative data exists. In determining whether such an impact evaluation is warranted, the Secretary shall take into consideration the following factors:

(a)	The degree of toxicity of the air contaminant and the emission rate;

(b)	The proximity of the source to residences, population centers and other sensitive human receptors; and

(c)	Emission dispersion characteristics at or near the source, taking into account the physical location of the source relative to surrounding buildings and terrain.

(b)	The Secretary may require the owner or operator of a stationary source subject to this section with respect to emissions of any Appendix C, Category I contaminant to submit to the Secretary an air quality impact evaluation which shall demonstrate whether the actual emissions from the subject source will violate subsection (5)(a) of this section. Said evaluation shall be performed in accordance with the Agency's air quality impact evaluation guidelines (revised November 20, 1992).

(c)	If the Secretary determines, through air quality monitoring, that the annual concentration of a contaminant listed in Appendix C, Category I has exceeded its hazardous ambient air standard, the Secretary shall adopt a Toxic Action Plan (TAP) for the contaminant. Each TAP shall contain a strategy to reduce ambient air concentrations of the contaminant. The Secretary may also adopt TAPs for other hazardous air contaminants.

(6)	Interim Standards

(a)	If any stationary source emits or proposes to emit a hazardous air contaminant which is not listed in Appendix B of these regulations, the Secretary shall determine an interim Hazardous Ambient Air Standard or interim Stationary Source Hazardous Air Impact Standard, if appropriate and an interim Action Level for said contaminant, provided that sufficient health data are available. In that event, such source shall be subject to all requirements of this section in the same manner as if said contaminant were listed in Appendices B and C herein. Such interim standards shall remain in effect until revised by rulemaking or adjusted in accordance with this subsection.

(b)	If additional scientific data becomes available that warrants adjusting a standard, including default values, for a chemical or compound listed in Appendices B and C herein, the data along with the underlying studies may be submitted to the Secretary for review. After evaluating such information in consultation with the Department of Health, the Secretary may on a case-by-case basis adjust the standard or maintain the existing standard for the chemical or compound. If the Secretary adjusts the standard, the interim standard shall remain in effect until revised by rulemaking or adjusted in accordance with this subsection.

(c)	Prior to making a determination under (a) or (b) of this subsection, the Secretary may provide an opportunity for public participation in such manner as determined in the discretion of the Secretary, including public notification on the Agency's website.

5-502	MAJOR STATIONARY SOURCES AND MAJOR MODIFICATIONS

(1)	Applicability

(a)	This section applies to all major stationary sources and major modifications which are constructed subsequent to July 1, 1979 and are subject to review under Section 5-501 herein.

(b)	Where a source is constructed or modified in increments:

(i)	Which individually are not subject to review under this section,

(ii)	Which have not previously been aggregated for purposes of their review under this section, and

(iii)	Which are not a part of a program of construction or modification in planned incremental phases previously approved by the Secretary.

            All such increments shall be added together for determining the applicability of this section.

(2)	Prohibition

      No person shall initiate construction of any major stationary source or major modification until the applicable requirements of this section have been complied with and a permit approving construction has been issued in accordance with Section 5-501 herein.

(3)	Most Stringent Emission Rate

      (a)	(i)	Each major stationary source shall apply control technology adequate to achieve the most stringent emission rate with respect to those air contaminants for which it would have significant allowable emissions.

(ii)	Each major modification shall apply control technology adequate to achieve the most stringent emission rate with respect to any air contaminant for which there would be a significant increase in actual emissions at the source, but only for those proposed physical or operational changes which would contribute to increased emissions of the air contaminant.

(b)	Any source or modification subject to this section shall submit information at the time it applies for approval to construct to establish that the most stringent emission rate will be achieved.

(4)	Air Quality Impact Evaluation

(a)	A source or modification subject to this section with respect to any air contaminant other than greenhouse gases, shall submit to the Secretary an air quality impact evaluation at the time it applies for approval to construct under Section 5-501 herein.  

(b)	Ambient Air Quality Standards review: The evaluation shall demonstrate that the increase in allowable emissions will not cause a violation of any applicable ambient air quality standard in any area, and will not significantly contribute to a violation of any applicable ambient air quality standard in any area that does not or would not meet the applicable ambient air quality standard for the above air contaminants. A source or modification will be considered to significantly contribute to, a violation of any ambient air quality standard for the above air contaminants if the increase in the allowable emissions from the source or modification will cause an increase in ambient concentrations of the above air contaminants in any area that does not or would not meet the applicable ambient air quality standard in excess of any of the levels of significant impact shown in Table 3 herein. If a source or modification will significantly contribute to such a violation, the evaluation shall demonstrate that the source or modification will comply with the requirements of paragraph (6) herein.

(c)	Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Increment review:  The evaluation shall demonstrate that, as of the source's or modification's start-up date, the increase in allowable emissions, in conjunction with all other applicable emissions increases or reductions, will not cause or contribute to any increase in ambient concentrations exceeding the remaining available prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) increment for the specified air contaminants, as determined by the Secretary. A demonstration under this paragraph is not required if a source is modified, but there is no net increase in the source's allowable emissions of the air contaminants specified in Table 2.

(d)	Sensitive Area review:  The evaluation shall demonstrate that the increase in allowable emissions will not cause an adverse impact on visibility, or interfere with reasonable progress toward remedying of existing man-made visibility impairment, in any sensitive area.  

(e)	Class I Federal Area review:  The evaluation shall demonstrate that the increase in allowable emissions will not cause an adverse impact on visibility or any other Air Quality Related Value in any Class I Federal area..  

(f)	Any air quality impact evaluation or modeling required by this section shall be prepared in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Secretary and with Section 5-406 of these regulations. The evaluation shall exclude the effect of that portion of the height of any stack which exceeds good engineering practice and the effect of any other dispersion technique.

(5)	Increment Allocation

(a)	The evaluation required in paragraph (4)(c) above shall demonstrate that the increase in allowable emissions thereunder will not consume more than 25% of the remaining annual PSD increment, nor more than 75% of the remaining 24 hour PSD increment for the specified air contaminants.

(b)	The remaining available PSD increment, in either case, shall be determined by the Secretary.

(c)	Once a source has demonstrated that it will comply with paragraph (5)(a) above, the appropriate portions of the PSD increments shall be allocated in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary, which may provide for local or regional participation.

(6)	Emission Reductions

(a)	The Secretary shall not issue a permit approving construction of any source or modification subject to this section if the source or modification is unable to demonstrate, as required under Paragraph (4)(b), that the increase in allowable emissions from it will not significantly contribute to a violation of any applicable ambient air quality standard in a designated nonattainment area unless, prior to issuance of any such permit:

(i)	The source owner or operator secures legally binding offsetting emission reductions of said air contaminant, not otherwise to be utilized as part of the State's attainment strategies, from existing sources located in or impacting on the same area (whether or not under the same ownership) such as to provide a net emission reduction acceptable to the Secretary, and

(ii)	The source owner or operator certifies that all existing sources of the source owner located in the State are in compliance with all applicable rules or are meeting all steps of any compliance schedules contained in any administrative orders or court decrees.

(b)	Regardless of whether a source or modification is subject to the requirements of paragraph (6)(a) of this section, the Secretary shall not issue a permit approving construction of any source or modification of nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) subject to this section and meeting the federal definition of major stationary source or major modification contained in 40 C.F.R.  §51.165 as applicable to the Ozone Transport Region unless, prior to issuance of such permit, the owner or operator of said source shall:

(i)	Secure legally binding offsetting emission reductions (not otherwise required by law) of nitrogen oxides or VOCs, as applicable, from existing sources; 

(ii)	Obtain an offset ratio of a minimum of 1.15:1; and

(iii)	Certify that all existing sources of the source owner located in the state are subject to emissions limitations and are in compliance, or on an enforceable schedule for compliance with all applicable emissions limitations and standards.

(c)	Only emission reductions that meet the following criteria shall be eligible for use as offsetting emission reductions under Section 5-502(6):

(i)	Except for ozone precursors, emission reductions of a contaminant may only be used to offset emissions of the same contaminant. Emission reductions of particulate matter may only be used to offset emissions of equally or less hazardous forms of particulate matter.  For the purpose of offsetting ozone precursors, emission reductions for nitrogen oxides or VOCs can be used to offset emissions of each other if approved by the Secretary and EPA on a case-by-case basis;

(ii)	Emission reductions must have occurred after January 1, 1990, or within ten years previous to the date of any application under this section in which the reduction is proposed to be used, whichever is more recent; and

(iii)	The emissions reductions must be emission reductions credits pursuant to Subsection 5-502(7) or ERCs generated in another state where a reciprocal trading agreement has been established between Vermont and such other state.

(7)	Emission Reduction Credits

(a)	The owner or operator of a source at which a reduction in emissions of nitrogen oxides or VOCs has occurred may apply to the Secretary for certification of the reduction as an emission reduction credit (ERC). Ten percent of all actual emission reductions identified by the owner or operator for certification will revert to the Agency for its use as it sees fit. Once certified by the Secretary, an ERC may be used to offset increased emissions from new or modified sources or for other purposes approved by the Secretary.

(b)	Only emission reductions that meet the following eligibility criteria shall be certified as ERC's:

(i)	Emission reductions may be created by shutdown, curtailment, or over control of emissions beyond an applicable limit, or any other reduction method acceptable to the Secretary. 

(ii)	Emission reductions shall be real, surplus, quantifiable, permanent, and state and federally enforceable.

(iii)	Emissions from sources which have been issued permits but never operated, or which have engaged in normal operations for less than one (1) year, shall not be used as offsetting emission reductions.

(iv)	Emission reductions may be certified as ERC's only after the reductions have actually occurred.

(c)	An application for certification shall be submitted within 18 months after the emission reduction occurs.

(d)	In order to confirm emission reductions claimed in conjunction with an application for ERC certification, the Secretary may require the submission of production, fuel use or other records or emissions testing or the use of continuous emissions monitoring or other appropriate means of measurement. The same or an equivalent method of measurement shall be used to quantify emissions both before and after the reduction.

(e)	Where a reciprocal trading agreement has been established between Vermont and another state, ERCs generated in Vermont may be used in such other state.

(8)	Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

(a)	A major stationary source or major modification required to submit an air quality impact evaluation shall include in such evaluation an analysis of ambient air monitoring data for any attainment areas impacted by each of the following air contaminants;

(i)	For the source, each contaminant for which it would have significant allowable emissions;

(ii)	For the modification, each contaminant for which it would result in a significant increase in actual emissions.

(b)	Ambient monitoring data shall be based on sampling conducted for a time period of at least one year immediately preceding submission of any application for approval to construct such a source or modification. Ambient monitoring data collected for a time period of less than one year, but not less than four (4) months, or for a time period other than immediately preceding submission of any such application may be acceptable if such data is adequate for determining whether the source or modification will cause a violation of any applicable ambient air quality standard or consume more than the remaining available PSD increment.

(c)	Subparagraphs (a) and (b) above shall not apply to any air contaminant for which no ambient air quality standard has been adopted. 

(9)	Alternative Site Analysis

      Any source or modification subject to this section that would be constructed in an area designated as non-attainment for a pollutant for which the source or modification is major,  shall conduct an analysis of alternative sites, sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques for such proposed source that demonstrates that the benefits of the proposed source significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its location, construction or modification.

SUBCHAPTER VIII.  REGISTRATION OF AIR CONTAMINANT SOURCES
5-801	DEFINITIONS

"Source" means, for the purposes of this Subchapter only, all stationary structures, facilities, equipment, installations, or operations which emit or may emit any air contaminant and which are:

(a)	Operated by the same person or by persons under common control, and

(b)	Located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties where all such property is owned by the same person or by persons under common control.

(Note that the person or persons operating the source will not necessarily be the same person or persons who own the property upon which the source is located.)

"Operator" means, for purposes of this Subchapter only, any person operating or responsible for the operation of a source.

5-802	REQUIREMENT OF REGISTRATION

Each operator of a source which emits more than five tons of any and all air contaminants per year shall register the source with the Secretary, and shall renew such registration annually. Each day of operating a source which is subject to registration without a valid, current registration shall constitute a separate violation and subject the operator to a civil penalty not to exceed $100.00 per violation.

5-803	REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

(1)	On or before February 1 of each year, the operator of each source subject to registration shall submit to the Air Pollution Control Officer source emissions data and any other information required to determine the appropriate registration fee. This data shall be supplied by completion of forms which are available from the Air Pollution Control Officer. The forms will not be deemed completed unless and until all information required by the forms has been supplied. The Air Pollution Control Officer may require such information to be submitted with respect to any source which he or she has reason to believe may be a source subject to registration. This subsection is not intended to limit any powers otherwise held by the Air Pollution Control Officer.

(2)	The Air Pollution Control Officer shall determine the registration fee based upon the information required by the preceding subsection, upon other information reasonably required by him or her, and any other relevant information. Upon such determination, the Air Pollution Control Officer shall promptly notify each operator in writing of the registration fee required, if any.

(3)	Any operator may request reconsideration of a fee determination within 30 calendar days of receiving notice of such determination. Such request shall be in writing addressed to the Air Pollution Control Officer and shall include the operator's own calculation of the fee due along with all supporting documentation. Within 20 calendar days of receipt of such timely written request, the Air Pollution Control Officer shall notify the operator of the decision.

(4)	Any operator who chooses to contest the decision of the Air Pollution Control Officer described in the preceding subsection may, within 15 calendar days after receipt of such decision, request an administrative conference of the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation. Said conference shall be held as soon as reasonably possible, shall be informal in nature and shall serve as an opportunity for the operator to contest the decision of the Air Pollution Control Officer to the Commissioner by presenting emissions data and any other relevant information to the Commissioner or his or her representative. Such administrative conference shall not be considered a "contested case" as defined by 3 V.S.A. Ch. 25. The Commissioner shall notify the operator of the decision within 30 days of the administrative conference. Should the Commissioner's decision be wholly or partially adverse to the operator, such notice shall include an explanation of the grounds for the decision. 

(5)	Each operator from whom a registration fee is due shall pay said fee to the Air Pollution Control Officer on or before May 15 of each year. Payment shall be by check or money order made payable to the state of Vermont. If the amount of the fee is at that time the subject of an administrative appeal or judicial review, the fee amount most recently decided or determined by the Air Pollution Control Officer or Commissioner of Environmental Conservation is due. No registration will be issued for those sources for which a required registration fee has not been paid in full. If, however, at the conclusion of any and all administrative appeals and judicial review, the fee paid is greater than that which has been determined to be correct, the difference shall be promptly refunded to the operator.

(6)	The period of each registration or renewal shall be from the first day of July of each year through the last day of June of the following calendar year.

5-804	FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION

All data and other information submitted or caused to be submitted by an operator to the Agency shall be complete and truthful. Any such submission which is false or misleading shall be sufficient grounds for the denial or revocation of registration, and may result in a fine and/or imprisonment under the authority of the applicable Vermont statutes.

5-805	COMMENCEMENT OR RECOMMENCEMENT OF OPERATION

A source otherwise subject to registration is not required to register for the next period of registration unless it emitted more than five tons of air contaminants during the calendar year immediately preceding said next period of registration.

5-806	TRANSFER OF OPERATION

Should the operation or responsibility for operation of a source subject to registration be transferred, the registration will, nonetheless, remain valid until the end of the then-current registration period.

5-807	FEES

(1)	The registration fee shall be determined in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in 3 V.S.A. §2822.

(2)	With respect to the fees for the emission of hazardous air contaminants, the 2007 amendments to Appendix C of these regulations shall not take effect until January 1, 2008.

5-808	DETERMINATION OF FEE

(1)	Each operator shall determine the registration fee, if any, based on calculation of the quantity of air contaminants emitted by his or her source during the calendar year immediately preceding the period of registration.

(2)	The following techniques, or combinations thereof, are acceptable methods of measuring and calculating source emissions. The Air Pollution Control Officer will determine which method(s) is (are) most appropriate for each source. As applied to most sources, the methods listed below are in order of preference, the first listed method being deemed the most reliable and accurate:

(a)	Emission testing (stack testing) of source;

(b)	Emission testing of similar sources;

(c)	Mass balance calculations, where appropriate;

(d)	Use of emission factors published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42);

(e)	Other methods receiving the prior written approval of the Air Pollution Control Officer.

(3)	Emissions of all air contaminants from a source, either through stacks or from points other than stacks (i.e., fugitive emissions) shall be added together for purposes of determining the registration fee. Fugitive emissions shall be included only when, in the judgment of the Air Pollution Control Officer, such emissions are reasonably quantifiable.

(i)	There are additional applicable requirements with a remaining operating permit term of 3 or more years, and shall complete the reopening within eighteen months of the promulgation of the requirement;

(ii)	There are additional applicable requirements for a Title IV affected source under the acid rain program;

(iii)	The Secretary or EPA determines that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate information was used to establish emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; or

(iv)	The Secretary or EPA determines such action is necessary to assure compliance with applicable requirements.

(2)	For any subject source, the Secretary may reopen and, then, reissue, amend, suspend or terminate an operating permit for good cause. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, situations where:

(i)	there are additional applicable requirements; 

(ii)	the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate information was used to establish emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; 

(iii)	the subject source has failed to comply with a permit condition; or

(iv)	the grounds for refusal to issue, renew or modify an operating permit under subsection (a) of this section exist.

(3)	In the event the Secretary reopens a permit pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this subsection, the procedures required for initial operating permit application and issuance or permit amendments shall apply, except that they shall apply only to those parts of the operating permit for which cause to reopen exists. Except in an emergency, the Secretary shall provide at least thirty (30) days notice to the owner/operator, of the Secretary's intent to reopen. Such procedures need not be followed for suspension, termination, or revocation of a permit.

(f)	The Secretary may issue a single permit authorizing emissions from similar operations by the same owner/operator at multiple temporary locations. The operations must be temporary and involve at least one change of location during the term of the permit. Such permits shall require at least ten (10) days notice to the Secretary prior to each change in location.

(g)	The Secretary shall implement the requirements and provisions of Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651-7651o] and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)	Except as provided in (a) and (b) above, the procedure for processing an application for an operating permit amendment shall be the same as that used to process an application for an initial operating permit. In the case of a minor permit amendment for a Title V subject source, the Secretary shall notify affected states and EPA upon receipt of an administratively complete application and the proposed permit shall be subject to Section 5-1008(b) and (c) of this subchapter.

(d)	An operating permit amendment for the purposes of the acid rain portion of an operating permit shall be subject to regulations promulgated under Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651-7651o].

5-1014	OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY

(a)	An owner/operator may make a change to a permitted subject source without securing approval of the Secretary or requesting an operating permit amendment provided that: 

(1)	The change does not constitute a modification under any provision of the Air Pollution Control Regulations;

(2)	The change is not subject to Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651-7651o];

(7)	A provision requiring that reports, records of all monitoring data and related information required by the operating permit be retained by the subject source for at least five (5) years from the date of the monitoring, measurement, or report; 

(8)	Terms and conditions, including the requirement to maintain records of switches in operating scenario, for reasonably anticipated alternative operating scenarios identified by the subject source in its application as approved by the Secretary;

(9)	Specific designation by the Secretary in the Findings of Fact of any operating permit for a Title V subject source, of terms and conditions which are not federally enforceable under the Act or under any of its applicable requirements;

(10)	Inspection and entry requirements requiring that, upon presentation of credentials, the permittee shall allow an authorized representative of the Secretary access, at reasonable times, to all properties covered by the permit and where emissions related activity is conducted for the purpose of ascertaining compliance with the permit and applicable requirements;

(11)	Requirements for submittal of compliance certifications, including, but not limited to, the frequency of submission of compliance certifications;

(12)	If necessary, a schedule of compliance and requirements for submittal of progress reports;

(13)	Provisions indicating that the Secretary may reopen an operating permit prior to the expiration of the operating permit in accordance with Section 5-1008(e); and,

(14)	If requested by an owner/operator in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, a "permit shield" provision that identifies specific state or federally enforceable regulations and standards derived therefrom which are not applicable to a source. Enforcement actions based on those identified regulations and standards may not be initiated against the source covered by the shield. However, a permit shield is not available as part of an administrative or minor permit amendment and does not apply to changes permitted under Section 5-1014.

(i)	Such a shield shall only have legal effect if:

(A)	The Secretary, in acting on an operating permit application, determines in writing which specific state or federally enforceable regulations and standards derived therefrom are not applicable to the stationary source and the operating permit contains an express delineation of each such regulation or standard;

(B)	The applicant includes, in its application, a draft permit shield provision in the form and with the elements specified by the Secretary, itemizing each specific state or federally enforceable regulation or standard derived therefrom which said applicant believes is not applicable to such stationary source; and,

(C)	An operating permit expressly states that a "permit shield" exists in accordance with this subsection, otherwise the operating permit shall not provide such a shield;

(ii)	A permit shield shall not limit the Secretary's ability to reopen and/or amend an operating permit pursuant to Section 5-1008(e) of this subchapter. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, the Secretary need not receive an operating permit application from the owner/operator of a subject source in order to reopen and/or amend a "permit shield" provision.

(iii)	Notwithstanding paragraph (14) of this subsection, the stationary source must comply with those state or federally enforceable regulations and standards that become applicable during the term of the operating permit, even if those requirements are not set forth in the operating permit.

(iv)	Notwithstanding this paragraph (14) of this subsection, an owner/operator shall remain liable for any violation of applicable provisions of law that occurred prior to or at the time of issuance of an operating permit.

(v)	The permit shield shall be void if it is based on or affected by any false, inaccurate, or incomplete information provided by the applicant.

(vi)	The permit shield shall not limit in any way or prevent the Secretary from issuing an emergency administrative order in accordance with 10 V.S.A. §8009 or an emergency order pursuant to 10 V.S.A. §560. The permit shield shall remain in effect with respect to any regulations or standards delineated in the permit shield provision which are not affected by, or the basis for such emergency orders. No emergency administrative order issued to an owner/operator which is based on regulations or standards that are delineated in such source's permit shield provision shall contain monetary penalties.

(vii)	The permit shield shall not apply to, or affect those provisions of law which implement the requirements and provisions of Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7651-7651o) and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(15)	If requested by the owner/operator, terms and conditions for the balancing of emissions increases and decreases between emission units at a Title V subject source for the purpose of complying with a federally enforceable emissions cap contained in the operating permit if such balancing of emissions is permissible under Section 5-1014;

(16)	Such other provisions, consistent with this subchapter, 10 V.S.A. Chapter 23, the federal Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq.] and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as the Secretary may incorporate.

(b)	For subject sources other than Title V subject sources, each operating permit may include any or all of the elements set forth in subsection (a), above.

5-1016	LIMITING ALLOWABLE EMISSIONS

(a)	For any air contaminant source that is not a Title V subject source and which is subject to this subchapter solely due to Section 5-1003(a)(1), if the owner/operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that actual emissions of air contaminants from the stationary source have not equaled or exceeded ten (10) tons in any calendar year commencing January 1, 1995, then the actual emissions of such stationary source for such calendar year shall be deemed to be the stationary source's allowable emissions, notwithstanding Section 5-101 of these regulations. Such stationary source need not secure an operating permit which would otherwise be required by this subchapter so long as actual emissions of air contaminants from the stationary source are less than ten (10) tons per calendar year.

(b)	In order to make such a demonstration to the Secretary, the owner/operator must submit an annual registration to the Secretary, in accordance with the procedures specified in Subchapter VIII of these regulations, certifying that actual emissions of air contaminants from the stationary source, for the preceding year, did not exceed ten (10) tons.

(c)	No air contaminant source, which is exempt under this section from the operating permit requirement, shall emit ten (10) tons or more of air contaminants in a calendar year or violate any provision of this section. 

(d)	The owner/operator of an air contaminant source making an annual certification under this section shall keep and maintain records to determine actual emissions. Such records shall include, but not be limited to, emissions monitoring, monitoring of fuel usage, production rates, hours of operation, product purchases, and any other information that the Secretary may require to calculate actual emissions from the air contaminant source. Such information shall be summarized in a monthly log, maintained on-site for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of record, and shall be made available to the Secretary upon request. Additionally, such owner/operator shall consent, in writing, to provide authorized representatives of the Secretary with access, at reasonable times, to all properties where emissions related activity is conducted for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of such annual certification.

                                  APPENDIX D
          METHOD FOR THE DERIVATION OF HAZARDOUS AMBIENT AIR STANDARD

This appendix presents the standard procedure which shall be used by the Secretary when deriving a Hazardous Ambient Air Standard (HAAS), in micrograms per cubic meter, for a hazardous air contaminant. In the event the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) adopts an ambient air quality standard or a standardized method for determining such a standard for a hazardous air contaminant, the Secretary may set the HAAS for the contaminant at the level or by the method so established by the U.S. EPA. The HAAS may be no less stringent than the Federal ambient air quality standard.

CATEGORY I: Hazardous Air Contaminants that are Known or Suspected Carcinogens

Hazardous air contaminants that have been listed as potentially carcinogenic by the U.S. EPA, or International Agency for Research on Cancer, shall be classified as Category I: known or suspected carcinogens (except for HACs solely categorized by IARC as Group 1, inhaled in a form from occupational sources). Hazardous air contaminants that are reported to induce cancer in two or more species by the National Toxicological Program may also be classified as known or suspected carcinogens by the Secretary after consultation with the Vermont Department of Health. 

The HAAS for each Category 1 hazardous air contaminant shall be set at a level estimated to correspond to an excess lifetime carcinogenic risk of one in one million assuming continual inhalation exposure. In cases where there is insufficient data available to derive such a value, the HAAS shall be set at 0.01 ug/m[3].

The averaging period for known or suspected carcinogens shall be annual. 

                        CATEGORIES II AND III:	Hazardous Air Contaminants Believed to Cause Chronic Systemic Toxicity due to Long-term Exposure or Short-term Irritant Effects

Those hazardous air contaminants not identified as potentially carcinogenic as defined above, are referred to as noncarcinogens and are divided into two categories: 

      Category II: Hazardous Air Contaminants Believed to Cause Chronic Systemic Toxicity due to Long-term Exposure; and 

      Category III: Hazardous Air Contaminants Believed to Cause Short-term Irritant Effects. 

For both types of effects, it is generally assumed that some threshold level of toxicity exists (i.e. there is some level of exposure below which no adverse health effects are likely to occur).

Because the actual threshold level of exposure will vary from individual to individual, assessment of such compounds focuses on estimating a population threshold level. The HAAS for each Category II and Category III compound shall be set at a level estimated to correspond to such a threshold based on continual inhalation exposure. 

Various sources of toxicity information shall be examined in the development of a HAAS for each Category II and Category III hazardous air contaminants. These sources shall include, but are not limited to: U.S. EPA RfCs, occupational values (e.g., ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELS, VOSHA PELs), ATSDR MRLs, California EPA RELs, National AEGLs and reports published in the peer reviewed literature.

	Uncertainty Factor
One or more uncertainty factors, each ranging from 1 to 10, may be applied in the development of a HAAS for each Category II or Category III hazardous air contaminant. Where appropriate, an additional modifying factor, typically ranging from 1 to 10, may be included in the calculation. The total adjustment factor applied will depend on the nature and extent of chemical specific toxicity information available for review.

	Averaging Time
The averaging period for Category II hazardous air contaminants shall be annual. A 24 hour averaging period will be employed for Category III hazardous air contaminants.

	Alternative Methods
In the event that insufficient toxicological information is available with which to derive a HAAS for Category II and Category III hazardous air contaminants, a default value shall be set for each category at the median value of all HAAS published in Appendix C for the given category. The action level shall be derived in accordance with Appendix E. 

a.	The Category II median HAAS is 20 ug/m[3] and its representative action level is 1.7 lbs/8 h. 

b.	The Category III median HAAS is 36 ug/m[3] and its representative action level is 1.9 lbs/8 h.

                                  APPENDIX E
                  METHOD FOR THE DERIVATION OF ACTION LEVELS

This appendix presents the standard procedure which shall be used by the Secretary when deriving an Action Level, in pounds of emissions per eight hours, for a hazardous air contaminant.

Action Levels shall be calculated for all hazardous air contaminants for which the Secretary has established a HAAS by one of the following methods:

1.	For hazardous air contaminants with a HAAS based on a twenty-four hour averaging period, the HAAS shall be multiplied by 0.052.

2.	For hazardous air contaminants with a HAAS based on an annual averaging period, the HAAS shall be multiplied by 0.083.
