Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Except as specified under subsection (b) of this section, facilities, or
				  physical or operational changes to a facility, are permitted by rule provided
				  that all of the following conditions of this section are satisfied.
(1) The facilities or changes shall be
				  located at least 100 feet from any recreational area or residence or other
				  structure not occupied or used solely by the owner or operator of the
				  facilities or the owner of the property upon which the facilities are
				  located.
(2) Total new or increased
				  emissions, including fugitives, shall not exceed 6.0 pounds per hour (lb/hr)
				  and ten tons per year of the following materials: acetylene, argon, butane,
				  crude oil, refinery petroleum fractions (except for pyrolysis naphthas and
				  pyrolysis gasoline) containing less than ten volume percent benzene, carbon
				  monoxide, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, cyclopentane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethyl
				  ether, ethylene, fluorocarbons Numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 113, 114,
				  115, and 116, helium, isohexane, isopropyl alcohol, methyl acetylene, methyl
				  chloroform, methyl cyclohexane, neon, nonane, oxides of nitrogen, propane,
				  propyl alcohol, propylene, propyl ether, sulfur dioxide, alumina, calcium
				  carbonate, calcium silicate, cellulose fiber, cement dust, emery dust, glycerin
				  mist, gypsum, iron oxide dust, kaolin, limestone, magnesite, marble,
				  pentaerythritol, plaster of paris, silicon, silicon carbide, starch, sucrose,
				  zinc stearate, or zinc oxide.
(3)
				  Total new or increased emissions, including fugitives, shall not exceed 1.0
				  lb/hr of any chemical having a limit value (L) greater than 200 milligrams per
				  cubic meter (mg/m3) as listed and referenced in
				  Table 262 of §
											106.262
				  of this title (relating to Facilities (Emission and Distance Limitations)) or
				  of any other chemical not listed or referenced in Table 262. Emissions of a
				  chemical with a limit value of less than 200 mg/m3
				  are not allowed under this section.
(4) For physical changes or modifications to
				  existing facilities, there shall be no changes to or additions of any air
				  pollution abatement equipment.
(5)
				  Visible emissions, except uncombined water, to the atmosphere from any point or
				  fugitive source shall not exceed 5.0% opacity in any six-minute
				  period.
(6) For emission increases
				  of five tons per year or greater, notification must be provided using Form PI-7
				  within ten days following the installation or modification of the facilities.
				  The notification shall include a description of the project, calculations, data
				  identifying specific chemical names, limit values, and a description of
				  pollution control equipment, if any.
(7) For emission increases of less than five
				  tons per year, notification must be provided using either:
(A) Form PI-7 within ten days following the
				  installation or modification of the facilities. The notification shall include
				  a description of the project, calculations, data identifying specific chemical
				  names, limit values, and a description of pollution control equipment, if any;
				  or
(B) Form PI-7 by March 31 of the
				  following year summarizing all uses of this permit by rule in the previous
				  calendar year. This annual notification shall include a description of the
				  project, calculations, data identifying specific chemical names, limit values,
				  and a description of pollution control equipment, if any.
