Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
This rule shall apply to the proposed construction or
				  modification of all emissions units and facilities for which an air
				  construction permit is required pursuant to subsection
				   62-210.300(1),
				  F.A.C.
(1) General Prohibitions.
(a) The owner or operator of any emissions
				unit or facility shall not undertake any activity listed at paragraph
				 62-210.300(1)(a),
				FA.C., without first obtaining an air construction permit from the
				Department.
(b) Except as provided
				in Rule  62-212.500, F.A.C., the
				Department shall not permit the construction or modification of any emissions
				unit or facility that would cause or contribute to a violation of any ambient
				air quality standard. The Department shall not permit the construction or
				modification of any emissions unit which would be located in a nonattainment
				area or area of influence if the proposed construction or modification would
				interfere with reasonable further progress toward attaining the ambient air
				quality standards.
(c) The
				Department shall not permit the construction or modification of any emissions
				unit or facility that would cause or contribute to an ambient concentration at
				any point within a baseline area that exceeds either the appropriate baseline
				concentration for the point plus the appropriate maximum allowable increase or
				the appropriate ambient air quality standard, whichever is less.
(d) The Department shall not establish,
				renew, or change any plantwide applicability limits at any existing major
				stationary source except through the air construction permit process and the
				public participation process required at Rule
				 62-212.720, F.A.C.
(e) If the Department issues any construction
				permit which avoids the requirements of subsections
				 62-212.400(4) through
				(12), F.A.C., based in whole or in part on
				projected actual emissions calculations, the permit shall contain the following
				monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping provisions:
1. The permittee shall monitor the emissions
				of any PSD pollutant that the Department identifies could increase as a result
				of the construction or modification and that is emitted by any emissions unit
				that could be affected; and, using the most reliable information available,
				calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a
				calendar year basis, for a period of 5 years following resumption of regular
				operations after the change, or for a period of 10 years following resumption
				of regular operations if the change increases the design capacity of that
				emissions unit or its potential to emit that PSD pollutant. Emissions shall be
				computed in accordance with Rule
				 62-210.370, F.A.C.
2. The permittee shall report to the
				Department within 60 days after the end of each year during which records must
				be generated under subparagraph
				 62-212.300(1)(e) 
				1., F.A.C., setting out the unit's annual emissions during the calendar year
				that preceded submission of the report. The report shall contain the following:
a. The name, address and telephone number of
				the owner or operator of the major stationary source,
b. The annual emissions as calculated
				pursuant to subparagraph
				 62-212.300(1)(e) 
				1., F.A.C.,
c. If the emissions
				differ from the preconstruction projection, an explanation as to why there is a
				difference; and,
d. Any other
				information that the owner or operator wishes to include in the
				report.
3. The
				information required to be documented and maintained pursuant to subparagraphs
				 62-212.300(1)(e) 
				1. and 2., F.A.C., shall be submitted to the Department, which shall make it
				available for review to the general public.
(f) The Department shall account for
				condensable PM10 and condensable
				PM2.5 in applicability determinations and in
				establishing emissions limitations for PM10 and
				PM2.5 in permits issued pursuant to Rule
				 62-212.400 or
				62-212.500, F.A.C., and in
				permits issued to establish limitations to avoid applicability of Rule
				 62-212.400 or
				62-212.500,
				F.A.C.
