(1) General. Any
			 person operating or responsible for the operation of an air contaminant source
			 for which registration and reporting are required must register the source
			 emission unit with the permitting authority. The owner or operator must make
			 reports containing information required by the permitting authority concerning
			 location, size and height of contaminant outlets, processes employed, nature
			 and quantity of the air contaminant emission and such other information as is
			 relevant to air pollution and available or reasonably capable of being
			 assembled.
(2) Registration .
			 Sources must provide registration information in a manner and time prescribed
			 by the permitting authority and must provide the required information within
			 the time specified by the permitting authority. Sources must list each emission
			 unit within the facility separately unless the permitting authority determines
			 that the facility may combine certain emission units into process streams for
			 purposes of registration and reporting.
(3) Signatory responsibility. The owner,
			 operator, or their designated management representative must sign the
			 registration form for each source. The owner or operator of the source is
			 responsible for notifying the permitting authority of the existence of the
			 source, and for the accuracy, completeness, and timely submittal of
			 registration reporting information and any accompanying fee.
(4) Operational and maintenance plan. Owners
			 or operators of registered sources within ecology's jurisdiction must maintain
			 an operation and maintenance plan for process and control equipment. The plan
			 must reflect good industrial practice and must include a record of performance
			 and periodic inspections of process and control equipment. In most instances, a
			 manufacturer's operations manual or an equipment operation schedule may be
			 considered a sufficient operation and maintenance plan. The source owner or
			 operator must review and update the plan at least annually. The source owner or
			 operator must make a copy of the plan available to ecology upon
			 request.
(5) Report of closure. The
			 owner or operator must file a report of closure with the permitting authority
			 within ninety days after operations producing emissions permanently cease at
			 any applicable source under this section.
(6) Report of change of ownership. A new
			 owner or operator must report to the permitting authority within ninety days of
			 any change of ownership or change in operator.
(7) Operating permit program source
			 exemption. Permit program sources, as defined in
			 RCW
			    70.94.030(18), are not
			 required to comply with the registration requirements of WAC
			 173-400-100
			 through
			 173-400-104.
