DRDB: KERAPCD 201-1 PERMITS TO OPERATE FOR SOURCES SUBJECT TO TITLE V OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1990
RULE 201.1 - PERMITS TO OPERATE FOR SOURCES SUBJECT TO TITLE V
OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1990
(Adopted 11/01/93, Amended 1/9/97, 5/3/01)
Rule 201.1 is intended to implement requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 (CAA) for permits to operate. Title V requires operating permits for certain sources emitting regulated air pollutants, including attainment and non-attainment pollutants.
Definitions in this section apply throughout this Rule and are derived from related provisions of U.S. EPA's Title V regulations in Part 70 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), "State Operating Permit Programs."
2. Identifies a minor administrative change at the stationary source; for example, a change in name, address, or phone number of any person identified in the permit;
4. Transfers ownership or operational control of a stationary source, provided, prior to transfer, the APCO receives a written agreement specifying a date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liability from current to prospective permittee.
2. Title IV (Acid Deposition Control) requirements of the CAA (40 CFR Parts 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78 and regulations implementing Sections 407 and 410 of the CAA);
3. Title VI (Stratospheric Ozone Protection) requirements of the CAA (40 CFR Part 82); and
4. Monitoring and Analysis requirements (Section 504(b) of the CAA).
M. Effective Date of Rule 201.1 - The effective date of Rule 201.1 is May 3, 2001.
N. Emergency - any situation arising from a sudden and reasonably unforeseeable event beyond control of a permittee causing exceedance of a technology-based emission limitation under a permit and requiring immediate corrective action to restore compliance. An emergency shall not include non-compliance resulting from improperly designed equipment, lack of preventive maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error.
2. 50 tpy of volatile organic compounds or oxides of nitrogen (if district is classified as serious non-attainment for ozone);
3. 10 tpy of one HAP or 25 tpy of two or more HAP's; or
1. Emissions Unit - Potential to emit for an emissions unit is the maximum capacity of the unit to emit a regulated air pollutant or HAP considering the unit's physical and operational design. Physical and operational limitations on the emissions unit shall be treated as part of its design, if the limitations are set forth in permit conditions which address applicable federal requirements. Physical and operational limitations shall include, but are not limited to the following: limits placed on emissions; and restrictions on operations such as hours of operation and type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed.
2. Stationary Source - Potential to emit for a stationary source is the sum of the potentials to emit from all emissions units at the stationary source. If two or more HAP's are emitted at a stationary source, the potential to emit for each of those HAP's shall be summed to determine Section III applicability. Fugitive emissions shall be considered in determining potential to emit for: 1) sources specified in 40 CFR Part 70.2 Major Sources Subsection(2)(i) through (xxvi), 2) sources of HAP emissions, and (3) any other stationary source category regulated under Section 111 or 112 of the CAA and for which the U.S. EPA has made an affirmative determination by rule under Section 302(j) of the CAA. Notwithstanding the above, any HAP emissions from any pipeline compressor station shall not be aggregated with emissions of similar units for the purpose of determining a major source of HAP's, even if such units are located on contiguous or adjacent properties or under common control.
