(4) Processing fees are as
				follows:
(a) Air Pollution Permits.
1. Construction Permit Fee for an Emissions
				Unit Requiring Prevention of Significant Deterioration or Nonattainment Area
				Preconstruction Review. The processing fee for a construction permit for an
				emissions unit requiring a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) or
				Nonattainment Area (NAA) preconstruction review pursuant to Rule
				 62-212.400 or
				 62-212.500, F.A.C.,
				respectively, shall be $7, 500.00.
2. Construction Permit Fee for an Emissions
				Unit Not Requiring Prevention of Significant Deterioration or Nonattainment
				Area Preconstruction Review. No processing fee shall be required for a
				construction permit for an emissions unit not requiring Prevention of
				Significant Deterioration (PSD) or Nonattainment Area (NAA) preconstruction
				review, if the facility containing the emissions unit holds an air operation
				permit issued pursuant to Chapter 62-213, F.A.C. For any such emissions unit at
				a facility not holding a Chapter 62-213, F.A.C., air operation permit, the
				processing fee shall be as follows:
a. Construction permit for an emissions unit having
							 potential emissions of 100 or more tons per year of any single
							 pollutant.
$5,000.00
b. Construction permit for an emissions unit having
							 potential emissions of 50 or more tons per year, but less than 100 tons per
							 year, of any single pollutant.
$4,500.00
c. Construction permit for an emissions unit having
							 potential emissions of 25 or more tons per year, but less than 50 tons per
							 year, of any single pollutant.
$2,000.00
d. Construction permit for an emissions unit having
							 potential emissions of 5 or more tons per year, but less than 25 tons per year,
							 of any single pollutant.
$1,000.00
e. Construction permit for an emissions unit having
							 potential emissions of less than 5 tons per year of each pollutant.
$250.00
3. Operation Permit Fee for an Emissions Unit at a
							 Non-Title V Source.
a. Operation permit for an emissions unit required to
							 measure actual emissions by stack sampling.
$1,500.00
b. Operation permit for an emissions unit required to
							 measure actual emissions by any method other than stack sampling (such as
							 visible emissions observation or continuous emissions monitoring).
$1,000.00
c. Operation permit for an emissions unit not
							 required to measure actual emissions.
$750.00
4.
				Similar Emissions Unit Fee. Where new or existing multiple emissions units
				located at the same facility are substantially similar in nature, the applicant
				may submit a single application and any required permit fee for construction or
				operation of the emissions units at the facility. To be considered
				substantially similar each of the emissions units must be substantially similar
				in regard to each of the following: nominal description or type of emissions
				unit; type of fuel burned; type of material processed, stored, or handled; type
				of air pollution control equipment; regulated pollutants emitted; applicable
				emissions standards; and applicable regulatory control criteria. For a
				construction permit, the single application fee shall be the fee that would
				apply for a single emissions unit with emissions that equal the total of the
				potential emissions of all of the substantially similar emissions units at the
				facility. The fee for an operation permit for a group of similar emissions
				units at the same facility, submitted under the same application and with the
				same emissions testing or monitoring requirements, shall be the fee that would
				apply to any emissions unit in the group if each emissions unit were being
				permitted singly.
5. Multiple
				Emissions Unit Fee. If the Department issues a single construction or operation
				permit covering multiple emissions units or groups of similar emissions units
				at a facility, the permit processing fee shall be the sum of the fees
				applicable to each emissions unit and group of similar emissions units covered
				by the permit.
