Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 252 - Department of Environmental Quality › Chapter 100 - Water Quality Standards Implementation › Subchapter 9 - Excess Emission Reporting Requirements › Section 252:100-9-8 - Mitigation

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
General.
All periods of
				excess emissions regardless of cause are violations of the Act and rules
				promulgated thereunder, the Oklahoma Clean Air Act and rules promulgated
				thereunder, and applicable permit or other authorization of the DEQ.
(b)
Mitigating factors for excess
				emissions during malfunctions.
To establish that an incident of excess
				emissions resulted from malfunction and request to be relieved of an
				administrative penalty in any action initiated by the Department to enforce an
				applicable requirement, the owner or operator of the facility must meet the
				requirements of OAC
				252:100-9-7
				and establish by a preponderance of the evidence:
(1) The excess emissions were caused by a
				sudden and not reasonably preventable breakdown of air pollution control
				equipment or process equipment, or the failure of a process to operate in the
				normal or usual manner.
(2) The
				excess emissions did not stem from any activity or event that could have been
				planned for or reasonably foreseen and avoided.
(3) Repairs were made as expeditiously as
				possible.
(4) The amount and
				duration of the excess emissions, including any bypass, were minimized to the
				extent practicable during periods of such emissions.
(5) Reasonable steps were taken to minimize
				the impact of the excess emissions on ambient air quality.
(6) The reason(s) any monitoring systems were
				not kept in operation, if applicable.
(7) The owner or operator's actions during
				the period of excess emissions were documented by contemporaneous operating
				logs or other relevant evidence.
(8) The excess emissions were not part of a
				recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, operation or
				maintenance.
(9) To the maximum
				extent practicable, the air pollution control equipment or process equipment
				was maintained and operated in a manner consistent with good practice for
				minimizing emissions; provided, however, that this provision shall not be
				construed to automatically require the shutdown of process equipment to
				minimize emissions.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this Subchapter,
				  shall have the following meaning, unless the context clearly indicates
				  otherwise.
"Actual emissions"
for purposes of this
				  Subchapter, means the lowest emission rate in tons per year at which the
				  facility actually emitted a specific pollutant during the three-year period
				  immediately preceding the date of the alternative emissions reduction plan. The
				  DEQ may allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it
				  is more representative of normal operations.
"Affected emission point"
for purposes of this
				  Subchapter, means an emission point that will undergo an emissions reduction or
				  emissions increase in an alternative emissions reduction plan.
"Affected pollutant"
for purposes of this
				  Subchapter, means any regulated air pollutant that is reduced or increased as a
				  result of the implementation of an alternative emissions reduction plan.
"Net emissions reduction"
means the amount by
				  which emissions from a facility will be reduced in an alternative emissions
				  reduction plan. Net emissions reduction shall be calculated by subtracting the
				  emissions of a specific pollutant allowed under an alternative emissions
				  reduction plan from the facility's actual emissions, potential emissions, the
				  emissions allowed under the operating permit, or the emissions allowed by rule,
				  whichever is least.
"Potential emissions"
for purposes of this
				  Subchapter, means the level of emissions a source emits when operating at
				  maximum capacity considering enforceable reductions from air pollution controls
				  and other enforceable restrictions such as hours of operation, types of raw
				  material or fuel, etc.

The procedures detailed in this Subchapter shall be available
				  to all air contaminant sources located within the state except those precluded
				  by federal law or federal regulation (e.g., PSD, NESHAP, or NSPS)
				  provided:
(1) the facility is either
				in compliance with all applicable state air pollution control rules,
				or
(2) if the facility is not in
				compliance with any emission limit or standard, the petition filed pursuant to
				the provisions of this Subchapter constitutes a commitment to achieve a net
				emissions reduction from the facility as a whole that is equal to or greater
				than the amount by which the emission limit or standard is exceeded.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Requirements.
(1) An acceptable alternative emissions
				reduction plan must result in a net emissions reduction, that is, a reduction
				in the facility's actual emissions of all regulated air pollutants for which
				the plan is proposed. (This does not include air pollutants that are increased
				due to control equipment or strategy.) This means that a facility must reduce
				emissions of these regulated air pollutants by an amount that brings the air
				burden to a level less than it would be if the facility were in compliance. The
				exact amount of the net emissions reduction will be set on a case by case
				basis, taking into account the status of the area, topography, weather
				conditions, surrounding business/residential factors, etc. The plan must
				conform to the following requirements.
(A) A
				net emissions reduction as defined in OAC
				252:100-11-2 must be
				shown as a result of the control strategies proposed in the
				application.
(B) Facility-wide
				increases in any regulated air pollutants that result from the implementation
				of the plan shall comply with limits, standards, and requirements applicable to
				the emission points involved.
(C)
				The plan shall not cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS for any
				regulated air pollutant.
(D) The
				plan shall contain enforceable methods of measurement, monitoring, and
				reporting.
(E) Plans involving Part
				70 sources located in Nonattainment Areas, in addition to the requirement in
				OAC 252:100-11-5(a)(1)(A), (B), (C), and (D) must include a commitment to
				install, maintain, and operate RACT, as defined by applicable rules, or other
				control measures that would achieve equivalent reductions.
