"Stationary Source" means any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any regulated air pollutant or any pollutant listed pursuant to Section 112 (b) of the Act.
Department of Defense Facilities. Department of Defense stationary sources shall be subject to the following, as applicable.
Stationary Source Designations. For air pollutants regulated under Title I of the Act, a Department of Defense stationary source shall be designated as set forth below if the responsible official submits a plan to the Control Officer that meets the requirements set forth in paragraph (1)(b), below.
Stationary Source Designation. Each of the following shall be a separate stationary source:
Air Force primary missionRemediationNASAFlight LineNavyRange GroupAmenities GroupHospital ServicesCommercial Space
Exclusion of Sources. No stationary source at a Department of Defense facility shall include the following activities: military tactical support equipment, infrastructure maintenance equipment, or building maintenance equipment
Emission Reductions; Plan -- Requirements.
Plan Submittal And Requirements. The responsible official shall submit a plan to the Control Officer which shall provide that:
by April 30 1999, thirty percent of the candidate boilers identified in the plan shall be retrofitted or under construction;
by April 30, 2000, two tons per year of ozone precursor emission reductions shall be achieved;
by April 30, 2001, seventy percent of the candidate boilers identified in the plan shall be retrofitted or under construction; and
by November 30, 2002, ten or more tons per year of ozone precursor emission reductions shall be achieved.
These milestones shall be based on actual emissions established pursuant to baseline protocols submitted as part of the plan by the responsible official and approved by the Control Officer. Failure to achieve a milestone shall result in expiration pursuant to paragraph (2)(b), below; however, such failure shall not constitute a violation of District Rules and Regulations. Achieved emission reductions shall be enforceable pursuant to paragraph (1)(b)(3), below.
Plan Approval. The Control Officer shall approve a plan submitted pursuant to (1)(b)(1), above, if the conditions in (1)(b)(1) are met and the Control Officer finds that the emission reductions are real, quantifiable, surplus, and enforceable. The Control Officer shall submit the approved plan to the USEPA for inclusion in the State Implementation Plan. The plan shall become federally enforceable upon the USEPA Administrator’s approval into the state implementation plan. EPA will include the plan in the state implementation plan within one year after submittal by the District if EPA finds that the emission reductions are real, quantifiable, surplus and enforceable. The Control Officer may extend that time for good cause.
Final Project Agreement. The responsible official shall enter into a Final Project Agreement with the Control Officer and the USEPA which commits the Department of Defense to the emission reductions specified in paragraph (1)(b)(1) "Emission Reductions; Plan Submittal And Requirements," above.
Department of Defense Facilities - Expiration. The provisions of paragraph (1) "Department of Defense Facilities," above, shall expire if any of the following conditions occur:
The stationary source becomes subject to permit under this Regulation.
The stationary source does not achieve the emissions reductions required by this Regulation pursuant to a schedule of milestones included in the Plan approved by the Control Officer pursuant to paragraph (1)(b), above.
USEPA does not approve the plan for inclusion in the state implementation plan within one year of approval of the plan by the Control Officer. The Control Officer may extend this period for up to one year or until such time as USEPA takes action on the plan, whichever occurs earlier.
Department of Defense Facilities - Applicable Requirements After Expiration.
Stationary Source Designations. Upon expiration of paragraph (1) "Department of Defense Facilities," the stationary source shall include all applicable activities and sources consistent with federal and state law and these Rules and Regulations. If such inclusion subjects the stationary source to the permitting requirements of this Regulation, the responsible official shall apply for and obtain a permit in accordance with this Regulation and applicable federal regulations.
Achieved Emission Reductions Remain Enforceable. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Regulation, any achieved emission reductions shall remain in place and shall be enforceable. Achieved emission reductions shall be emission reductions required in an approved plan that have been implemented or are being retrofitted at the time of expiration. Failure to maintain any achieved and verified reductions obtained through execution of the plan shall constitute a violation of District Rules and Regulations.
This definition ("Department of Defense Facilities," "Expiration", and "Applicable Requirements After Expiration") shall remain in effect only until January 1, 1998, and as of such date is repealed, unless a later enacted rule, which is adopted before January 1, 1998, deletes or extends such date or unless a plan is filed with the Control Officer by that date and later approved by the Control Officer.
"Internal combustion engine" shall mean a reciprocating internal combustion engine.
in or on a piece of equipment that is self propelled or serves a dual purpose by both propelling itself and performing another function; or
in or on a piece of equipment that is intended to be propelled while performing its function (such as lawn mowers), or
that, by itself or in or on a piece of equipment, is portable or transportable, meaning designed to be and capable of being carried or moved from one location to another. Indications of transportability include, but are not limited to, wheels, skids, carrying handles, dolly, trailer, or platform.
the engine is regulated by a federal New Source Performance Standard promulgated under section 111 of the federal Clean Air Act, or
the engine otherwise included in paragraph 3 above and remains or will remain at a location for more than 12 consecutive months or a shorter period of time for an engine located at a seasonal source. A location is any single site at a building, structure, facility, or installation. Any engine (or engines) that replaces an engine at a location and that is intended to perform the same or similar function as the engine replaced will be included in calculating the consecutive time period. An engine located at a seasonal source is an engine that remains at a seasonal source during the full annual operating period of the seasonal source. A seasonal source is a stationary source that remains in a single location on a permanent basis (that is, at least two years) and that operates at that single location approximately three months (or more) each year. This paragraph does not apply to an engine after the engine is removed from the location.
The potential to emit from any new or modified emissions unit(s) at the major stationary source which are covered by the application(s) for such permit modification(s) plus all other net emissions increases at the source which occurred during the specified contemporaneous evaluation period listed below, are equal to or greater than the limits in Table 1301-A,
Sulfur Oxides(SOx)
Lead 15.0 tons/yr
40.0 tons/yr
100.0 tons/yr
0.6 ton/yr
The potential to emit any regulated hazardous air pollutant (HAP) from any new or modified emission unit(s) at the Part 70 source which are covered by the application(s) for such permit modification(s) plus all other net emissions increase at the source which occurred during the specified contemporaneous period would be equal to or greater than the de minimis level for such regulated HAP specified by USEPA rulemaking pursuant to Section 112(g) of the federal CAA.
For the purpose of defining Title I modification, the specified contemporaneous evaluation period to compute emissions increase shall consist of a period of five (5) consecutive calendar years, ending with the calendar year during which the complete application for such proposed change is submitted to the District. For computing Title I emission decreases, the period shall expand and extend further to the date on which operation begins for the proposed modified emissions unit.
