General Air Contaminant Discharge Permits

(1) Applicability.

(a) The Commission may issue a General ACDP under the following circumstances:

(A) There are several sources that involve the same or substantially similar types of operations;

(B) All requirements applicable to the sources can be contained in a General ACDP;

(C) The emission limitations, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and other enforceable conditions are the same for all sources covered by the General ACDP; and

(D) The pollutants emitted are of the same type for all covered sources.

(b) Permit content. Each General ACDP must include the following:

(A) All relevant requirements;

(B) Generic PSELs for all pollutants emitted at more than the deminimis level in accordance with OAR 340, division 222;

(C) Testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the PSEL and other applicable emissions limits and standards; and

(D) A permit duration not to exceed 10 years.

(c) Permit issuance procedures: A General ACDP requires public notice and opportunity for comment in accordance with ORS 183.325 to 183.410. All General ACDPs are on file and available for review at the Department's headquarters.

(2) Source assignment:

(a) Application requirements. Any person requesting that a source be assigned to a General ACDP must submit a written application in accordance with OAR 340-216-0040 that includes the information in OAR 340-216-0040(1), specifies the General ACDP source category, and shows that the source qualifies for the General ACDP.

(b) Fees. Applicants must pay the fees set forth in Table 2 of OAR 340-216-0020.

(c) Source assignment procedures:

(A) Assignment of a source to a General ACDP is a Category I permit action and is subject to the Category I public notice requirements in accordance with OAR 340, division 209.

(B) A person is not a permittee under the General ACDP until the Department assigns the General ACDP to the person.

(C) Assignments to General ACDPs terminate when the General ACDP expires or is modified, terminated or revoked.

(3) Commission Initiated Modification. If the Commission determines that the conditions have changed such that a General ACDP for a category needs to be modified, the Commission may issue a new General ACDP for that category and the Department may assign all existing General ACDP permit holders to the new General ACDP.

(4) Rescission. In addition to OAR 340-216-0082 (Termination or Revocation of an ACDP), the Department may rescind an individual source's assignment to a General ACDP if the source no longer meets the requirements of this rule or the conditions of the permit, including, but not limited to the source having an ongoing, reoccurring or serious compliance problem. Upon rescinding a source's assignment to a General ACDP the Department will place the source on a Simple or Standard ACDP. The Commission may also revoke a General ACDP if conditions, standards or rules have changed so the permit no longer meets the requirements of this rule.
