Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
301.1 This section
			 applies to temporary sources not exempt under NWCAA 300.4 or 300.5, which
			 locate temporarily at sites within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA. Nonroad
			 engines regulated by this section are limited to those listed in a) 3) of the
			 definition of "nonroad engine" found in Section 200 of this Regulation (i.e.,
			 those that are portable or transportable, but operate in a stationary manner).
			 The regulation of nonroad engines under this section is subject to the
			 limitations as set forth in 40 CFR Appendix A to Subpart A of 89 - State
			 Regulation of Nonroad Internal Combustion Engines.
301.2 The owner or operator of a temporary
			 source shall be allowed to operate at a temporary location without filing a
			 Notice of Construction application or, for nonroad engines, obtaining a
			 regulatory order from the NWCAA providing that:
a) The owner or operator notifies the NWCAA
			 each calendar year of the intent to operate within the jurisdiction of the
			 NWCAA at least fifteen (15) days prior to starting operation and pays the
			 appropriate fees identified in NWCAA Section 324.1;
b) The owner or operator notifies the NWCAA
			 of the intent to relocate within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA at least fifteen
			 (15) days prior to relocation;
c)
			 The owner or operator supplies sufficient information to enable the NWCAA to
			 determine that the operation will comply with all applicable air pollution
			 rules and regulations;
d) The
			 operation does not cause a violation of ambient air quality
			 standards;
e) If the operation is
			 in a nonattainment area, it shall not interfere with the scheduled attainment
			 of ambient standards;
f) The
			 temporary source operates in compliance with all applicable air pollution rules
			 and regulations;
g) A temporary
			 source that is considered a major stationary source within the meaning of WAC
			 173-400-113 shall also comply with the requirements in WAC 173-400-720 through
			 -750;
h) Except for nonroad
			 engines, all temporary sources shall have a valid Order of Approval to
			 Construct from an air quality permitting organization in the State of
			 Washington. The temporary source shall operate in compliance with the
			 conditions set forth in the Order of Approval to Construct. Any reports
			 required by the Order of Approval to Construct shall be submitted to the
			 NWCAA;
i) Permission to operate
			 shall not exceed ninety (90) operating days in any calendar year anywhere
			 within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA. The NWCAA may set specific conditions for
			 operating during that time period. No source shall continue to operate beyond
			 the allowable 90-day period unless an Order of Approval to Construct, or for
			 nonroad engines, a regulatory order, has been issued by the NWCAA. For the
			 purpose of this section, an operating day shall be considered any time
			 equipment operates within a calendar day; and
j) Except for nonroad engines, based on the
			 source type and emission quantity, temporary sources may be subject to new
			 source review at the discretion of the Control Officer.
