Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Should the Agency determine that more than one source is a
				  contributing source pursuant to Section
				  212.702
				  of this Subpart, the Agency may accept controls from fewer than all of the
				  sources identified as culpable where greater than the required levels of
				  control for all culpable sources are achieved at some of the culpable
				  sources.
a) For the purposes of this
				Section, an "identified source" is a source determined to be culpable for an
				exceedence of the 24-hour ambient air quality standard.
b) For the purposes of this Section, a
				"participating source" is another source that is also identified as culpable by
				the Agency for the monitored exceedence.
c) For the purposes of this Section,
				"equivalent air quality benefits" shall be determined by conducting one or more
				dispersion analyses in accordance with the "Guideline on Air Quality Models
				(revised)," incorporated by reference in Section
				212.113
				of this Part.
d) An identified
				source may elect to achieve compliance with the provisions of this Subpart by
				obtaining equivalent air quality benefits from PM-10 emissions reductions by a
				participating source as would be achieved at the identified source, provided,
				however, that the PM-10 emissions reductions to be achieved by the
				participating source under this Section are in addition to any other obligation
				it may have under this Subpart to reduce PM-10 emissions.
e) If an identified source elects to rely on
				this Section to demonstrate compliance with this Subpart, the identified source
				must:
1) Demonstrate to the Agency that it
				will achieve equivalent air quality benefits from PM-10 emission reductions at
				the participating source as would be achieved from the identified source
				subject to this Subpart;
2) The
				PM-10 emissions reductions from the participating source that the identified
				source is relying upon to demonstrate compliance with this Subpart must be
				reflected as federally enforceable permit conditions of the participating
				source's permit;
3) The
				participating source implements any emissions reductions for fugitive emissions
				of PM-10 within ninety (90) days after the identified source would have been
				required to implement Level I or Level II measures pursuant to this Subpart;
				and
4) The participating source
				submits a reasonable schedule for implementation of any PM-10 emission
				reductions from controls on process emission units, fuel combustion emission
				units, or other fugitive emissions of PM-10 at the participating source not
				subject to control under Sections
				212.304,
				212.305,
				212.306,
				212.308,
				212.316(a)
				through (e),
				212.424
				or
				212.464,
				not to exceed two (2) years from the date of notification to the identified
				source that Level I or Level II measures, as appropriate, are
				required.
