New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 27 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL › Subchapter 8 - PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES FOR MINOR FACILITIES (AND MAJOR FACILITIES WITHOUT AN OPERATING PERMIT) › Section 7:27-8.19 - Compliance plan changes

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The following actions require prior Department approval of a compliance plan change:
1. A decrease in the frequency of testing, monitoring, recordkeeping or reporting, to below the frequency specified in the permit and certificate;
2. A change in monitoring method;
3. A change in a level, rate, or limit for an operational parameter if:
i. The change would cause the source to operate outside of the range set by the permit for that parameter;
ii. The parameter is required under the permit and certificate to be tested, monitored, recorded, or reported to the Department; and
iii. The level, rate, or limit is not an emission limit; and
4. A reduction in a source's potential to emit, through any of the actions listed at i through iii below. The permittee may take these actions without contacting the Department, but the reduction in potential to emit does not take effect until the Department approves the compliance plan change, making the emission decrease Federally enforceable. Until Department approval, the source's potential to emit remains unchanged. The following types of actions may be taken to reduce potential to emit under this paragraph:
i. A decrease in a maximum allowable emission rate;
ii. A decrease in maximum allowable hours of operation per time period (number of batches per time period for batch operations); or
iii. A decrease in maximum allowable production rate (production amount per batch for batch operations).
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 27 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL › Subchapter 8 - PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES FOR MINOR FACILITIES (AND MAJOR FACILITIES WITHOUT AN OPERATING PERMIT) › Section 7:27-8.20 - Seven-day-notice changes

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A seven-day-notice change allows a permittee to proceed with a change seven days after the notice of the seven-day-notice change is submitted to the Department. A person acting under the authority of a seven-day-notice change does so at risk. Should the Department determine that an action was incorrectly processed as a seven-day-notice change, and should have been processed as a compliance plan change or permit revision, the permittee may be subject to penalties for noncompliance with this subchapter.
(b) A seven-day-notice may be used for the following:
1. A change made to a permitted source which meets all three of the following requirements:
i. The action is a physical or operational change that is outside the scope of activities allowed by the permit;
ii. The action has the potential to result in an increase in actual emissions, but will not increase emissions over the allowable limits in the permit and certificate; and
iii. The action will not alter stack parameters or characteristics so as to cause the ground level concentration of an air contaminant to increase in that portion of the atmosphere, external to buildings, to which the general public has access; or

1. The effective heights, as determined in accordance with the provisions of (b) below, of the stacks to be included in the mathematical combination are equal, or that the emissions from the fuel having the greatest sulfur content will be discharged to the atmosphere from the stack having the greatest effective height;
2. The total maximum SO[2] emission rate for all source gases to be included in the mathematical combination is no greater than 800 pounds per hour (363 Kg/hr);
3. No stack in the mathematical combination is separated from any other stack by a distance measured from the stack center lines, greater than three times the least effective stack height of any stack included in the mathematical combination; and

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 27 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL › Subchapter 10 - SULFUR IN SOLID FUELS › Section 7:27-10.5 - SO2 emission rate determinations

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) For purposes of 7:27-10.2(h), a 24-hour emission rate shall be calculated as follows:
1. Measure the emissions for each one-hour block using a certified Continuous SO[2] Emissions Monitoring System, a certified continuous oxygen emissions monitoring system, and EPA Method 19, "Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Removal Efficiency and Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxide Emission Rates," as identified at 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, incorporated herein by reference. An owner or operator may seek approval of an alternative Department approved method to use instead of EPA Method 19, only if the owner or operator is combusting clean, unprocessed wood, in which case the owner or operator shall submit a written application to the Department at the address at (d) below; and
2. Average the emissions determined for the one-hour blocks from (a)1 above for one calendar day during which combustion of solid fuel occurred. The 24-hour emission rate shall include only the one-hour blocks during which solid fuel is combusted. For example, if a source combusted solid fuel from midnight to 4:00 A.M. and did not operate from 4:00 A.M. to midnight, the 24-hour emission rate is calculated by adding the total of the emissions from the four one-hour blocks from midnight to 4:00 A.M. and dividing that sum by four.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Whereas air is vital to life and contamination of it to any degree is a condition to be endured reluctantly; and whereas our knowledge of the long-term harmful effects of low levels of contamination is incomplete and uncertain; therefore, it is the air quality objective of the Department to assure, at all times and throughout the territory of the State, ambient air of the highest purity achievable by the installation and diligent operation and maintenance of pollution source control devices and methods consistent with the lawful application of the most advanced state of the art.
(b) Furthermore, it is the objective of the Department, by prevention and correction, so to enhance the quality of the outdoor air that as a minimum, and throughout the State, air quality will be in accord with the numerical air quality standards for specific pollutants set forth in subsequent Sections of this Subchapter.
(c) An implementation plan of action to meet air quality standards will be adopted by the Department and, from time to time, amended as necessary. The plan will incorporate all pertinent air pollution control regulations which limit or prevent the emission into the atmosphere of air contaminants for which air quality standards have been adopted. The plan also will include interim air quality objectives whose achievement through rigorous enforcement can then be predicted.
