Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A general permit is a pre-approved permit and certificate which applies to a specific class of significant sources. By issuing a general permit pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2(h), the Department indicates that it approves the activities authorized by the general permit, provided that the owner or operator of the source registers with the Department and meets the requirements of the general permit. If a source belongs to a class of sources which qualify for a general permit, and the owner or operator of the source registers for the general permit and complies with this section, the registration satisfies the requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:27-8.3 for a permit and certificate.
(b) A general permit may not be used to cover a source which is subject to PSD requirements under 40 CFR 52.21, or which is subject to emissions offsets requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:27-18.
(c) A general permit is available for the following source:
1. Fuel Dispensing Facilities (GP-004A);
2. Fuel Dispensing Facility equipped with a Phase I vapor recovery control system (GP-004B);

6. (Reserved)
7. A stationary storage tank which:
i. Does not have a floating roof;

iii. Is used for storing VOC's with a vapor pressure within the applicable limit below:
(1) If the tank has a maximum capacity of 20,000 gallons or less, vapor pressure shall be less than 11.1 psia (pounds per square inch absolute) at 70 degrees Fahrenheit;
(2) If the tank has a maximum capacity of more than 20,000 gallons but less than or equal to 40,00 gallons, vapor pressure shall be less than 4.0 psia at 70 degrees Fahrenheit; or
(3) If the tank has a maximum capacity of more than 40,000 gallons but less than or equal to 300,000 gallons, less than .75 psia at 70 degrees Fahrenheit;
8. A soil vapor extraction system or a groundwater air stripping system used for the remediation of a gasoline-contaminated vehicle fueling station at one of the following types of locations:
i. A current or former gasoline retail station;
ii. A municipal, county or State garage;
iii. A police or fire department;
iv. A commercial or industrial site; or
v. A property adjacent to an approved remediation site, provided the remediation activities are relevant to the adjacent property and are conducted concurrently with the remediation activities of the approved site;
9. Boiler(s) and/or Heater(s) each greater than or equal to five MMBTU/hr and less than 10 MMBTU/hr (GP-018A);
10. One or more of any combination of non-HAP VOCs solvent degreasers of the following types:
i. Cold cleaning machines that use a VOC solvent with a vapor pressure of less than 0.02 Psi (1 mm Hg) at 20 degrees centigrade (68 degrees Fahrenheit);
ii. Heated cleaning machines that use a VOC solvent with a vapor pressure of less than 0.02 Psi (1 mm Hg) at 20 degrees centigrade (68 degrees Fahrenheit);
iii. Batch vapor cleaning machines;
iv. In-line (conveyorized) vapor cleaning machines; or
11. Boiler(s) each greater than or equal to 10 MMBTU/hr and less than 50 MMBTU/hr (GP-009B);
12. Single or multiple dry to dry cleaning equipment that uses perchloroethylene as the cleaning agent and that is equipped with a refrigerated condenser as the primary control and a carbon adsorber as a secondary control on the cylinder outlet.
13. Solvent degreasers using only Methylene Chloride or 1,1,1 Trichloroethane of the following types:
i. Batch vapor cleaning machines; or
ii. In-line vapor cleaning machines;
14. Non-HAP Dry-cleaning Equipment (GP-013A);
15. Emergency Generator(s) Burning Gaseous Fuels (GP-005B);
16. Plating, Etching, Pickling, and Electropolishing Operations (GP-015A);
