Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Upon a final decision by the board that a
				  stationary source or emissions unit is shut down permanently, the board shall
				  revoke any permits by written notification to the owner and remove the
				  stationary source or emissions unit from the emission inventory or consider its
				  emissions to be zero in any air quality analysis conducted; and the stationary
				  source or emissions unit shall not commence operation without a permit being
				  issued under the applicable provisions of 9VAC5 Chapter 80 (9VAC5-80-10 et
				  seq.).
B. The final decision shall
				  be rendered as follows:
1. Upon a
				  determination that the stationary source or emissions unit has not operated for
				  a year or more, the board shall provide written notification to the owner (i)
				  of its proposed decision that the stationary source or emissions unit is
				  considered to be shut down permanently and (ii) that if the owner fails to
				  provide within three months of the notice written response to the board that
				  the shutdown is not to be considered permanent, the decision shall become final
				  within six months of the notice. The response from the owner shall include the
				  basis for the assertion that the shutdown is not to be considered permanent and
				  a projected date for restart-up of the stationary source or emissions
				  unit.
2. If the board should find
				  that the basis for the assertion is not sound or the projected restart-up date
				  allows for an unreasonably long period of inoperation, the decision to consider
				  the shutdown permanent shall become final one year after the date of the notice
				  of the proposed decision.

				  as follows:
1. For a business entity, such as
				  a corporation, association or cooperative, a responsible official is either:
a. The president, secretary, treasurer, or a
				  vice president of the business entity in charge of a principal business
				  function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision-making
				  functions for the business entity; or
b. A duly authorized representative of such
				  business entity if the representative is responsible for the overall operation
				  of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities applying for
				  or subject to a permit and either (i) the facilities employ more than 250
				  persons or have gross annual sales or expenditures exceeding $25 million (in
				  second quarter 1980 dollars) or (ii) the authority to sign documents has been
				  assigned or delegated to such representative in accordance with procedures of
				  the business entity.
2.
				  For a partnership or sole proprietorship, a responsible official is a general
				  partner or the proprietor, respectively.
3. For a municipality, state, federal, or
				  other public agency, a responsible official is either a principal executive
				  officer or ranking elected official. A principal executive officer of a federal
				  agency includes the chief executive officer having responsibility for the
				  overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The provisions
				of this chapter, unless specified otherwise, shall apply throughout the
				Commonwealth of Virginia.
B.
				Ambient air quality standards are required to assure that ambient
				concentrations of air pollutants are consistent with established criteria and
				shall serve as the basis for effective and reasonable management of the air
				resources of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
C. Primary ambient air quality standards
				define levels of air quality which, allowing an adequate margin of safety, are
				necessary to protect the public health. Secondary ambient air quality standards
				define more stringent levels of air quality which are necessary to protect the
				public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects associated with
				the presence of air pollutants in the ambient air. At such time as additional
				pertinent information becomes available with respect to applicable air quality
				criteria, such information will be considered and the ambient air quality
				standards will be revised accordingly.
D. The absence of a specific ambient air
				quality standard shall not preclude action by the board to control pollutants
				to assure protection, safety, welfare and comfort of the people of the
				Commonwealth of Virginia.
E. Where
				applicable, all measurements of air quality shall be corrected to a reference
				temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit and to a reference pressure of 14.7 pounds
				per square inch absolute.

				  of mercury (1,013.2 millibars). Measurements of PM2.5
				  for purposes of comparison to the standards contained in
				  9VAC5-30-65,

A. The primary ambient air quality standards
				are as follows:
1. The annual ambient air
				quality standard is 80 micrograms per cubic meter (0.030 parts per million) --
				annual arithmetic mean not to be exceeded in a calendar year. The annual
				arithmetic mean shall be rounded to three decimal places (fractional parts
				equal to or greater than 0.0005 ppm shall be rounded up).
2. The 24-hour ambient air quality standard
				is 365 micrograms per cubic meter (0.14 parts per million) -- maximum 24-hour
				concentration not to be exceeded more than once per calendar year. The 24-hour
				averages shall be determined from successive nonoverlapping 24-hour blocks
				starting at midnight each calendar day and shall be rounded to two decimal
				places (fractional parts equal to or greater than 0.005 ppm shall be rounded
				up).
3. The 1-hour annual ambient
				air quality standard is 75 parts per billion (ppb), measured in the ambient air
				as sulfur dioxide (SO2). The 1-hour primary standard is
				met when the three-year average of the annual (99th percentile) of the daily
				maximum 1-hour average concentrations is less than or equal to 75 ppb, as
				determined in accordance with Appendix T of 40 CFR Part 50.
4. The annual and 24-hour ambient air quality
				standards set forth in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection shall no longer
				apply to an area one year after the effective date of designation of that area
				pursuant to § 107 of the federal Clean Air Act for the 1-hour annual
				ambient air quality standard set forth in subdivision 3 of this
				subsection.
