Applicability

This division applies to all sources referred to in Table 1. This division also applies to Oregon Title V Operating Permit program sources when an ACDP is required by OAR 340-218-0020 or 340-224-0010. Sources referred to in Table 1 are subject to fees as set forth in Table 2.

(1) No person may construct, install, establish, develop or operate any air contaminant source which is referred to in Table 1 without first obtaining an Air Contaminant Discharge Permit (ACDP) from the Department or Regional Authority, unless otherwise deferred from the requirement to obtain an ACDP in subsection (1)(c) or (d) of this rule. No person may continue to operate an air contaminant source if the ACDP expires, or is terminated or revoked; except as provided in OAR 340-216-0082.

(a) For portable sources, a single permit may be issued for operating at any area of the state if the permit includes the requirements from both the Department and Regional Authorities.

(b) The Department or Regional Authority where the portable source's Corporate offices are located will be responsible for issuing the permit. If the corporate office of a portable source is located outside of the state, the Department will be responsible for issuing the permit.

(c) An air contaminant source required to obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment pursuant to a NESHAP or NSPS adopted by the Commission by rule is not required to submit an application for an ACDP or ACDP Attachment until four months after the effective date of the Commission’s adoption of the NESHAP or NSPS, and is not required to obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment until six months after the Commission’s adoption of the NESHAP or NSPS. In addition, the Department may defer the requirement to submit an application for, or to obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment, or both, for up to an additional twelve months.

(d) Gasoline dispensing facilities are not required to submit an application for an ACDP or ACDP Attachment until May 1, 2010 or obtain an ACDP or ACDP attachment until June 1, 2010. The Department may defer the requirement to submit an application for, or to obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment, or both, for up to an additional six months.

(e) Deferrals of Oregon permitting requirements do not relieve an air contaminant source from the responsibility of complying with federal NESHAP or NSPS requirements.

(2) No person may construct, install, establish, or develop any source that will be subject to the Oregon Title V Operating Permit program without first obtaining an ACDP from the Department or Regional Authority.

(3) No person may modify any source that has been issued an ACDP without first complying with the requirements of OAR 340-210-0205 through 340-210-0250.

(4) No person may modify any source required to have an ACDP such that the source becomes subject to the Oregon Title V Operating Permit program without complying with the requirements of OAR 340-210-0205 through 340-210-0250.

(5) No person may increase emissions above the PSEL by more than the de minimis levels specified in OAR 340-200-0020 without first applying for and obtaining a modified ACDP.

Construction ACDP

(1) Purpose. A Construction ACDP is a permit for approval of Type 3 construction or modification changes as specified in OAR 340-210-0220. The Construction ACDP includes requirements for the construction or modification of stationary sources or air pollution control equipment and does not by itself provide authorization to operate the new construction or modification. A new or modified Standard ACDP or Oregon Title V Operating Permit is required before operation of the new construction or modification. A Construction ACDP may be used for the following situations:

(a) For complex construction or modification projects that require an extended period of time to construct, the Construction ACDP may provide construction approval faster than issuance of a Standard ACDP or modified Standard ACDP because the operating requirements would not need to be included in the permit.

(b) For Oregon Title V Operating Permit sources, the Construction ACDP may include the requirements of OAR 340-218-0050 and follow the external review procedures in 340-218-0210 and 340-218-0230 so that the requirements may later be incorporated into the Oregon Title V Operating Permit by an administrative amendment. If the applicant elects to incorporate the Construction ACDP by administrative amendment, all of the application submittal, permit content, and permit issuance requirements of OAR 340 division 218 must be met for the Construction ACDP

(2) Application requirements. Any person requesting a Construction ACDP must:

(a) Submit an application in accordance with OAR 340-216-0040 and provide the information specified in 340-216-0040(1) as it relates to the proposed new construction or modification; and

(b) Provide a list of any applicable requirements related to the new construction or modification.

(3) Fees. Applicants for a Construction ACDP must pay the fees set forth in Table 2 of OAR 340-216-0020.

(4) Permit content. A Construction ACDP must include at least the following:

(a) A requirement that construction must commence within 18 months after the permit is issued;

(b) A requirement to construct in accordance with approved plans;

(d) Emission limits for affected stationary sources;

(e) Performance standards for affected stationary sources and air pollution control equipment;

(f) Performance test requirements;

(g) Monitoring requirements, if specialized equipment is required (e.g., continuous monitoring systems);

(h) Notification and reporting requirements (construction status reports, startup dates, source test plans, CEMS performance specification testing plans, etc.);

(i) General ACDP conditions for incorporating generally applicable requirements;

(j) A requirement to modify the operating permit before commencing operation of the new construction or modification;

(k) A permit expiration date of no more than 5 years; and

(l) Oregon Title V Permit requirements as specified in OAR 340-218-0050, if the applicant requests the external review procedures in OAR 340-218-0210 and 340-218-0230.

(5) Permit issuance procedures:

(a) A Construction ACDP requires public notice in accordance with OAR 340 division 209 for Category III permit actions.

(b) For sources subject to the Oregon Title V Operating Permit program, the applicant may ask for the external review procedures in OAR 340-218-0210 and 340-218-0230 in addition to the requirements of OAR 340 division 209 to allow the Construction ACDP to be incorporated into the Oregon Title V Operating Permit later by an administrative amendment provided the requirements of (1)(b) are met.

(A) Non-technical modifications and non-NSR Basic and Simple technical modifications require public notice in accordance with OAR 340 division 209 for Category I permit actions.

(B) Non-NSR/PSD Moderate and Complex technical modifications require public notice in accordance with OAR 340 division 209 for Category II permit actions.

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 a 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 Department may also revoke a General ACDP or attachment or both if conditions, standards or rules have changed so the permit or attachment no longer meets the requirements of this rule.

NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan as adopted by the EQC under OAR 340-200-0040.

(a) Sources and activities listed in Table 1, Part B of OAR 340-216-0020 that do not qualify for a General ACDP and are not required to obtain a Standard ACDP must, at a minimum, obtain a Simple ACDP.

(b) Any source required to obtain a Simple ACDP may obtain a Standard ACDP.

(c) The Department may determine that a source is ineligible for a Simple ACDP and must obtain a Standard ACDP based upon, but not limited to, the following considerations:

(A) The nature, extent, and toxicity of the source's emissions;

(B) The complexity of the source and the rules applicable to that source;

(C) The complexity of the emission controls and potential threat to human health and the environment if the emission controls fail;

(D) The location of the source; and

(E) The compliance history of the source.

(x) Category 78. All Other Sources not listed in Table 1 which would have actual emissions, if the source were to operate uncontrolled, of 5 or more tons a year of direct PM2.5 or PM₁₀ if located in a PM2.5 or PM₁₀ non-attainment or maintenance area, or 10 or more tons of any single criteria pollutant in any part of the state; and

(B) The actual emissions from the 12 months immediately preceding the invoice date, and future projected emissions are less than 5 tons/yr. PM₁₀ in a PM₁₀ nonattainment or maintenance area, and less than 10 tons/yr. for each criteria pollutant; and

(b) High Fee -- Any source required to have a Simple ACDP (OAR 340-216-0020 Table 1 Part B) that does not qualify for the Low Fee will be assessed the High Fee.

(c) If the Department determines that a source was invoiced for the Low Annual Fee but does not meet the Low Fee criteria outlined above, the source will be required to pay the difference between the Low and High Fees, plus applicable late fees in accordance with OAR 340-216-0020 Table 2. Late fees start upon issuance of the initial invoice. In this case, the Department will issue a new invoice specifying applicable fees.

(4) Permit Content.
