A.
Affected
				facilities
(1) This regulation applies
				to any facility that emits or has the potential to emit forty (40) tons or more
				of VOC per calendar year.
In determining a facility's potential to emit VOC, total VOC
				  emissions includes all VOC emissions occurring at the facility from
				  VOC-emitting equipment or processes, except VOC emissions from equipment
				  exempted in Section 1(C) of this Chapter. Emissions of VOC emitting activities
				  from general maintenance shall be included to the extent possible.
(2) Any facility subject to this
				Chapter that has potential to emit 40 tons per year or more but did not have
				actual emissions of forty (40) tons or more of VOC per calendar year since
				January 1, 1987, may be exempt from the requirements of Sections 3 and 4 of
				this Chapter under the requirements stated in Section 6 of this rule.
Each owner or operator of a facility that is initially exempt
				  from the requirements of Sections 3 and 4 and then becomes subject to this
				  Chapter under the applicability threshold provisions of Section 1(A) of this
				  Chapter must notify the Department, in writing, of its applicability within
				  thirty (30) days and must comply with the provisions and schedules specified in
				  Section 3 with final compliance no longer than two (2) years after becoming
				  subject to this Chapter.
(3) Any facility subject to this Chapter with
				actual emissions greater than 40 tons per year but less than 50 tons VOC per
				calendar year actual emissions, since January 1, 1987, that elects to amend its
				license and accept license restrictions under the 40 tons of VOC per year
				potential to emit at the time of the RACT applicability determination, may be
				exempt from the applicability of this Chapter.
(4) As of the effective date of the 1995
				amendment to this Chapter, the following VOC-emitting equipment or processes
				are no longer exempt from this rule: offset lithography, volatile organic
				liquid storage tanks, industrial wastewater, wood furniture, plastic parts
				coating (business machines), plastic parts coating (other), autobody
				refinishing, clean up solvents, ship building, aerospace coating and SOCMI
				batch processes.
NOTE: The above VOC-emitting equipment and processes were
				  previously exempt pursuant to Section 1(C)(3) of this rule as promulgated in
				  1993 because EPA had listed them as categories for which CTGs were under
				  development pursuant to a list in Appendix E of the General Preamble of Title I
				  (57 Federal Register 18077). The CTG's have not been developed and the CAAA
				  requires states to adopt rules for these sources by November 15, 1994.

A.
Geographic scope.
This regulation shall be effective in all ambient air
				quality control regions in the State.
B.
General Requirement.
A Part
				70 license is required for all Part 70 major sources. Once a source requires an
				air emission license, all emissions units which emit regulated pollutants at
				the source must be included except those insignificant activities listed in
				Appendix B of this Chapter. At such time that a particular source or
				modification becomes a major source or major modification solely by virtue of a
				relaxation in any enforceable limitation which was established after August 7,
				1980 on the capacity of the source or modification otherwise to emit a
				pollutant, such as a restriction on hours of operation, then the requirements
				of Major and Minor Source Air Emission License Regulation, 06-096 CMR 115(4)(A)
				shall apply to the source or modification as though construction had not yet
				commenced on the source or modification.
C.
Part 70 license or license amendment
is required for the following:
(1) Any
				Part 70 major source;
(2) Any
				source, including an area source, subject to a standard, limitation, or other
				requirement under Section 111 (Standards of Performance for New Stationary
				Sources) of the CAA;
(3) Any
				source, including a HAP area source, subject to a standard or other requirement
				under Section 112 (Hazardous Air Pollutants) of the CAA;
(4) Any source required to have a license
				under Part C (Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality) and Part
				D (Plan Requirements for Federal Nonattainment Areas) of Title I of the
				CAA;
(5) Any CAA Title IV source
				(Acid Rain);
(6) Any source in a
				source category designated by EPA pursuant to
				40
				CFR Part 70.3(a);
(7) Any changes or revision to the
				requirements in the Part 70 license. The processes to amend the Part 70 license
				include Part 70 Administrative Revisions, Part 70 Minor Licenses Modifications,
				and Part 70 Significant License Modifications; and
(8) Major sources undergoing 06-096 CMR 115
				New Source Review. Following a new major source license issued under the NSR
				provisions of 06-096 CMR 115, the source must then apply for an initial Part 70
				license within one year of commencing operations as provided in
				40 CFR Part
				70.5.

				  reporting, recordkeeping or testing requirements.
An "administrative license revision" is a license revision
				  that:
(1) Corrects typographical
				errors;
(2) Identifies a change in
				the name, address or phone number of any person identified in the license , or
				provides a similar minor administrative change at the source;
(3) Requires more frequent monitoring or
				reporting by the licensee;
(4)
				Allows for a change in ownership or operational control of a source where the
				licensing authority determines that no other change in the license is
				necessary, provided that a written agreement containing a specific date for
				transfer of license responsibility, coverage, and liability between the current
				and new licensee has been submitted to the licensing authority; or
(5) Incorporates any other type of change
				which the Administrator has determined as part of the approved Part 70 program
				to be similar to those in paragraphs
				40 CFR §
											70.7(d)(1)(i) through

				  (whether expressed therein as a rate of emissions or in terms of total
				  emissions) and qualify as a 502 change of the Clean Air Act.

				  written notification of a Section 502(b)(10) Change a minimum of 7 days in
				  advance of the proposed changes.
D.
Required Notification

Code of Maine Rules › 06 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 096 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - GENERAL › Chapter 140 - PART 70 AIR EMISSION LICENSE REGULATIONS › Section 096-140-9 - Part 70 Minor License Modification

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A.
Applicability
Part 70 Minor License Modification procedures may be used
				  only for those license changes that:
(1) Do not violate any Applicable requirement
				or state requirement;
(2) Do not
				involve significant changes to existing monitoring, reporting, or record
				keeping requirements in the license;
(3) Do not require or change a case-by-case
				determination of an emission limitation or other standard, or a source-specific
				determination for temporary sources of ambient impacts or a visibility or
				increment analyses;
(4) Do not seek
				to establish or change a Part 70 license term or condition for which there is
				no corresponding underlying Applicable requirement, and that the source has
				assumed to avoid an Applicable requirement to which the source would otherwise
				be subject. Such terms and conditions include:
(a) A federally enforceable emissions cap
				assumed to avoid classification as a modification or reconstruction under
				Section 112 of the CAA, or as a Title I Modification under the CAA;
				and
(b) An alternative emissions
				limit approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of
				the CAA;
(5) Are not a
				modification or reconstruction under Section 111 or 112 of the CAA, or a Title
				I Modification under the CAA; and
(6) Are not required by the Department to be
				processed as a significant modification.
Notwithstanding 1 through 6, Part 70 Minor License
				  Modification procedures may be used for license modifications involving the use
				  of economic incentives, marketable licenses, intrafacility emission trading,
				  and other similar approaches, to the extent that such Part 70 Minor License
				  Modification procedures are explicitly provided for in an applicable
				  implementation plan or in Applicable requirements promulgated by EPA.
