Title V A

This model permit provides basic framework and formatting for writing Title V permits. There are two versions of the model permit. Model permit A is laid out so testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements follow immediately after an applicable requirement (e.g., emissions limit or standard). Model permit B groups testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements in separate sections of the permit. It is optional which version of the model permit is used for a source.

Unless otherwise approved, permit writer must begin with the model permit and paste in source specific conditions from existing permits. If approved by management, permit writer may begin with an existing permit instead of the model permit. Be sure the final permit includes the conditions discussed below, as well as the general appearance of the model permit.

Some conditions in this model permit are required for all Title V permits, but most conditions will be specific to the source. For source specific conditions, the model permit provides the basic framework and formatting of conditions along with helpful guidance, but the permit writer will write the specific conditions or copy conditions from existing permits.

Below is a list of conditions required in all Title V permits. Except as noted below or in conditions themselves, the permit writer will not be able to make changes to these conditions because they are protected. If it is necessary to change a condition, the permit writer must obtain manager approval and have permit template coordinator make change.

Issued in accordance with provisions of ORS 468A.040
and based on land use compatibility findings included in the permit record.

If credits are not used for external offsets or for internal use by <mo/day/yr>, the credits will revert to being unassigned emissions. [OAR 340-268-0030] At the next permit renewal unassigned emissions will be reduced such that they do not exceed the significant emission rate consistent with the requirements of OAR 340-222-0045(5).

22. The plant site emissions must not exceed the following short term limits: [OAR 340-222-0042]

[It is recommended the emission basis be imported from TRAACS. Copy the emission basis from the workbook and paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet can be copied into permit as a table. Condition 24 is an example. Condition 25 is an example done without TRAACS and provides examples of material balance and CEMS monitoring procedures.]

24. The permittee must determine compliance with the Plant Site Emission Limits established in Condition 21 or 22 of this permit by conducting monitoring and calculations for each 12-month period in accordance with the following procedures, test methods, and frequencies except for GHGs:

24.a. The permittee must calculate emissions using the following formula, process parameters, and emission factors:

EF_eu= Emission factor identified for each emissions unit and pollutant in the table below;

K = Conversion constant: 1 lb/lb for daily and monthly emissions calculations; 1 ton/2,000 lbs for annual emissions calculations.

24.b. The emissions factors listed in Condition 24.a are not enforceable limits unless otherwise specified in this permit. Compliance with PSELs must only be determined by the calculations contained in this Condition.

25. The permittee must determine compliance with the Plant Site Emission Limits established in Conditions 21 and 22 of this permit by conducting monitoring in accordance with the following procedures, test methods, and frequencies for all pollutants except for GHGs:

25.a. Emissions calculations must be performed each month for the preceding 12 consecutive calendar months.

25.a.iv. The emissions factors listed in Condition 25.a.iii are not enforceable limits unless otherwise specified in this permit.

25.a.v. Compliance with PSELs must be determined using the calculations contained in Condition 25.a.ii using the monitored parameters recorded during the reporting period and the emission factors contained in Condition 25.a.iii, unless the permittee elects to pay emission fees based on actual emissions using a verified emission factor determined in accordance with OAR 340-220-0170. If the permittee is paying on actual emissions based on a verified emission factor, the verified emission factor must be used for determining compliance with the PSEL in accordance with Condition 30.

25.a.vi. Unless otherwise stated, all emissions calculations for the purpose of determining compliance with short term PSELs must be performed within 7 days following the short term PSEL time period.

25.b.i. VOC mass balance (Note: t-butyl acetate (TBAC) is not a VOC for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the VOC Plant Site Emission Limit. However, TBAC emissions must be determined and reported separately in the annual report – see the definition of VOC in OAR 340, Division 200)

25.d. Recordkeeping: [Include other information used to determine compliance with PSELs]

26. Emission fees will be based on the Plant Site Emissions Limits, unless permittee elects to report actual emissions for one or more permitted processes/pollutants. [OAR 340-220-0090]

27. The permittee must remedy any noncompliance in accordance with the schedule of compliance at the time of permit issuance. The permittee must provide controls for the <emissions unit> in accordance with the following schedule [OAR 340-218-0040(3)(n)(C)(iii)]:

27.d. By no later than <mm/dd/yy> the permittee must demonstrate that the <emissions unit> is capable of operating at its maximum operating capacity in continuous compliance with Condition <condition reference> by conducting a source test for <pollutant> emissions.

27.d.iii. Process and control device information to be collected during the tests

27.e. By no later than <mm/dd/yy>, the permittee must submit an explanation of why any dates in the schedule of compliance were not or will not be met and any preventive or corrective measures adopted. [OAR 340-218-0080(5)]

28. Unless otherwise specified in this permit, the permittee must conduct all testing in accordance with DEQ’s Source Sampling Manual. [OAR 340-212-0120] [Add reference to 40 CFR 60.8 if any testing will be done for NSPS]

28.a. Unless otherwise specified by a state or federal regulation, the permittee must submit a source test plan to DEQ at least 30 days prior to the date of the test. The test plan must be prepared in accordance with the Source Sampling Manual and address any planned variations or alternatives to prescribed test methods. Permittee should be aware, if significant variations are requested, it may require more than 30 days for DEQ to grant approval and may require EPA approval in addition to approval by DEQ.

28.b. Only regular operating staff may adjust the processes or emission control device parameters during a compliance source test and within two (2) hours prior to the tests. Any operating adjustments made during a compliance source test, which are a result of consultation during the tests with source testing personnel, equipment vendors, or consultants, may render the source test invalid.

28.c. Unless otherwise specified by permit condition or DEQ approved source test plan, all compliance source tests must be performed as follows:

28.c.iii. at 90 to 110% of the normal maximum operating rate for existing equipment. For purposes of this permit, the normal maximum operating rate is defined as the 90th percentile of the average hourly operating rates during a 12 month period immediately preceding the source test. Data supporting the normal maximum operating rate must be included with the source test report.

28.d. Each source test must consist of at least three (3) test runs and the emissions results must be reported as the arithmetic average of all valid test runs. If for reasons beyond the control of the permittee a test run is invalid, DEQ may accept two (2) test runs for demonstrating compliance with the emission limit or standard.

28.e. Source test reports prepared in accordance with DEQ’s Source Sampling Manual must be submitted to DEQ within 45 days of completing any required source test, unless a different time period is approved in the source test plan submitted prior to the source test.

29. The permittee must not knowingly render inaccurate any required monitoring device or method. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(a)(E)]

30. The permittee must use the same methods to determine compliance as those used to determine actual emissions for fee purposes and can be no less rigorous than the requirements of OAR 340-218-0080. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(a)(F)]

31. The permittee must comply with the monitoring requirements on the date of permit issuance unless otherwise specified in the permit or an applicable requirement. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(a)(G)]

32. The permittee must maintain the following general records of testing and monitoring required by this permit: [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(b)(A)]

32.a. the date, place as defined in the permit, and time of sampling or measurements;

32.f. the operating conditions as existing at the time of sampling or measurement; and

32.g. the records of quality assurance for continuous monitoring systems (including but not limited to quality control activities, audits, calibration drift checks).

33. Unless otherwise specified by permit condition, the permittee must make every effort to maintain 100 percent of the records required by the permit. If information is not obtained or recorded for legitimate reasons (e.g., the monitor or data acquisition system malfunctions due to a power outage), the missing record(s) will not be considered a permit deviation provided the amount of data lost does not exceed 10% of the averaging periods in a reporting period or 10% of the total operating hours in a reporting period, if no averaging time is specified. Upon discovering a required record is missing, the permittee must document the reason for the missing record. In addition, any missing record that can be recovered from other available information will not be considered a missing record. [OAR 340-214-0110, 340-214-0114, and 340-218-0050(3)(b)]

34. The permittee must comply with the recordkeeping requirements on the date of permit issuance unless otherwise specified in the permit or an applicable requirement. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(b)(C)]

35. Unless otherwise specified, the permittee must retain records of all required monitoring data and support information for a period of at least five (5) years from the date of the monitoring sample, measurement, report, or application. Support information includes all calibration and maintenance records and all original strip-chart recordings (or other original data) for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by the permit. All existing records required by the previous Air Contaminant Discharge Permit or Oregon Title V Operating Permit must also be retained for five (5) years from the date of the monitoring sample, measurement, report, or application. [OAR 340-218-0050(b)(B)]

To permit writer: Condition below requires immediate notification of excess emissions and “immediate’ is defined in Division 200 as within 1 hour. However, OAR340-214-0330(1)(a) also allows you to establish a different notification time period in the permit. For some sources, it is not reasonable or necessary to have the source notify DEQ of excess emissions right away. It may be sufficient to have them notify DEQ of the excess emissions the next working day. If a different time period is appropriate, revise Condition 36.a accordingly.

36. Excess Emissions Reporting The permittee must report all excess emissions as follows: [OAR 340-214-0300 through 340-214-0360]

36.a. Immediately (within 1 hour of the event) notify DEQ of an excess emission event by phone, email, or facsimile; and

36.b. Within 15 days of the excess emissions event, submit a written report that contains the following information: [OAR 340-214-0340(1)]

36.b.i. The date and time of the beginning of the excess emissions event and the duration or best estimate of the time until return to normal operation;

36.b.iv. Whether the event occurred during planned startup, planned shutdown, scheduled maintenance, or as a result of a breakdown, malfunction, or emergency;

36.b.v. Steps taken to mitigate emissions and corrective action taken, including whether the approved procedures for a planned startup, shutdown, or maintenance activity were followed;

36.b.vi. The magnitude and duration of each occurrence of excess emissions during the course of an event and the increase over normal rates or concentrations as determined by continuous monitoring or best estimate (supported by operating data and calculations);

36.b.viii. Where applicable, evidence supporting any claim that emissions in excess of technology-based limits were due to any emergency pursuant to OAR 340-214-0360.

36.c. In the event of any excess emissions which are of a nature that could endanger public health and occur during non-business hours, weekends, or holidays, the permittee must immediately notify DEQ by calling the Oregon Accident Response System (OARs). The current number is 1-800-452-0311.

36.d. If startups, shutdowns, or scheduled maintenance may result in excess emissions, the permittee must submit startup, shutdown, or scheduled maintenance procedures used to minimize excess emissions to DEQ for prior authorization, as required in OAR 340-214-0310 and 340-214-0320. New or modified procedures must be received by DEQ in writing at least 72 hours prior to the first occurrence of the excess emission event. The permittee must abide by the approved procedures and have a copy available at all times.

36.e. The permittee must notify DEQ of planned startup/shutdown or scheduled maintenance events.

36.f. The permittee must continue to maintain a log of all excess emissions in accordance with OAR 340-214-0340(3). However, the permittee is not required to submit the detailed log with the semi-annual and annual monitoring reports. The permittee is only required to submit a brief summary listing the date, time, and the affected emissions units for each excess emission that occurred during the reporting period. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(c)]

37. Permit Deviations Reporting: The permittee must promptly report deviations from permit requirements that do not cause excess emissions, including those attributable to upset conditions, as defined in the permit, the probable cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions or preventive measures taken. “Prompt” means within 15 days of the deviation. Deviations that cause excess emissions, as specified in OAR 340-214-0300 through 340-214-0360 must be reported in accordance with Condition 36.

38. All required reports must be certified by a responsible official consistent with OAR 340-218-0040(5); [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(c)(D)]

39. Reporting requirements must commence on the date of permit issuance unless otherwise specified in the permit. [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(c)(E)]

Addresses of regulatory agencies are the following, unless otherwise instructed:

40. The permittee must submit three (3) copies of reports of any required monitoring at least every 6 months, completed on forms approved by DEQ. Six month periods are January 1 to June 30, and July 1 to December 31. One copy of the report must be submitted to the EPA and two copies to the DEQ regional office. All instances of deviations from permit requirements must be clearly identified in such reports: [OAR 340-218-0050(3)(c)(A) and 340-218-0080(6)(d)]]

40.a. The first semi-annual report is be due on July 30 and must include the semi-annual compliance certification, OAR 340-218-0080.

40.b. The annual report is due on February 15 and must consist of the following:

40.b.ii. the NO_x and VOC emission statement, if applicable; [OAR 340-214-0220];

40.b.iv. the second semi-annual compliance certification; and [OAR 340-218-0080]

40.b.v. the annual certification that the risk management plan is being properly implemented; OAR 340-244-0230. [OAR 340-218-0080(7)]

40.b.vi. Other annual reporting requirements: [need to reference forms and list specific reporting information such as annual production levels, emissions, modifications, etc.]

41. The semi-annual compliance certification must include the following (provided that the identification of applicable information may cross-reference the permit or previous reports, as applicable): [OAR 340-218-0080(6)(c)]

41.a. The identification of each term or condition of the permit that is the basis of the certification;

41.b. The identification of the method(s) or other means used by the permittee for determining the compliance status with each term and condition during the certification period, and whether such methods or other means provide continuous or intermittent data. Such methods and other means must include, at a minimum, the methods and means required under OAR 340-218-0050(3). Note: Certification of compliance with the monitoring conditions in the permit is sufficient to meet this requirement, except when the permittee must certify compliance with new applicable requirements that are incorporated by reference into the permit. When certifying compliance with new applicable requirements that are not yet in the permit, the permittee must provide the information required by this condition. If necessary, the permittee must identify any other material information that must be included in the certification to comply with section 113(c)(2) of the FCAA, which prohibits knowingly making a false certification or omitting material information;

41.c. The status of compliance with terms and conditions of the permit for the period covered by the certification, including whether compliance during the period was continuous or intermittent. The certification must be based on the method or means designated in Condition 41.b of this rule. The certification must identify each deviation and take it into account in the compliance certification. The certification must also identify as possible exceptions to compliance any periods during which compliance is required and in which an excursion or exceedance, as defined under OAR 340-200-0020, occurred; and

41.d. Such other facts as DEQ may require to determine the compliance status of the source.

42. Greenhouse Gas Registration and Reporting: If the calendar year emission rate of greenhouse gases (CO₂e) is greater than or equal to 2,756 tons (2,500 metric tons), the permittee must register and report its greenhouse gas emissions with DEQ in accordance with OAR 340-215. The greenhouse gas report must be certified by the responsible official consistent with OAR 340-218-0040(5).

43. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in any applicable requirement, the permittee may use monitoring as required under OAR 340-218-0050(3) and incorporated into the permit, in addition to any specified compliance methods, for the purpose of submitting compliance certifications. [OAR 340-218-0080(6)(e)]

Permit writers: Title V rules allow for inclusion of a “permit shield” in permits where specific requirements have conclusively been determined not applicable. EPA emphasized that permit shields should not be included where any question exists about applicability. Such shields limit agencies’ ability to enforce requirement if it is later determined applicable until the permit is re-opened and revised to add applicable requirement. Permit writer should be thorough when considering permit shields and provide in review report a concise summary of the decision for such determination. A permit shield is not necessary for regulation obviously not applicable to the source, (i.e. Medford rules for source in Pendleton).

44. The following State and Federal air quality requirements are not applicable to this facility for the reasons stated. [OAR 340-218-0110]

Terms not otherwise defined in this permit have the meaning assigned to such terms in the referenced regulation.

Where referenced in this permit, the versions of the following materials are effective as of the dates noted unless otherwise specified in this permit:

a. Source Sampling Manual; April 16, 2015 - State Implementation Plan Volume 3, Appendix A4;

b. Continuous Monitoring Manual; April 16, 2015 - State Implementation Plan Volume 3, Appendix A6; and

c. All state and federal regulations as in effect on the date of issuance of this permit.

Oregon Title V Operating Permits do not replace requirements in Air Contaminant Discharge Permits (ACDP) issued to the source even if the ACDP(s) have expired. For a source operating under a Title V permit, requirements established in an earlier ACDP remain in effect notwithstanding expiration of the ACDP or Title V permit, unless a provision expires by its terms or unless a provision is modified or terminated following the procedures used to establish the requirement initially. Source specific requirements, including, but not limited to TACT, RACT, BACT, and LAER requirements, established in an ACDP must be incorporated into the Oregon Title V Operating Permit and any revisions to those requirements must follow the procedures used to establish the requirement initially.

G4. Compliance [OAR 340-218-0040(3)(n)(C), 340-218-0050(6), and 340-218-0080(4)]

a. The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit condition noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Federal Clean Air Act and/or state rules and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and re-issuance, or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application. Any noncompliance with a permit condition specifically designated as enforceable only by the state constitutes a violation of state rules only and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and re-issuance, or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application.

b. Any schedule of compliance for applicable requirements with which the source is not in compliance at the time of permit issuance is supplemental to, and does not sanction noncompliance with the applicable requirements on which it is based.

c. For applicable requirements that will become effective during the permit term, the source must meet such requirements on a timely basis unless a more detailed schedule is expressly required by the applicable requirement.

The permittee must not install or use any device or other means designed to mask the emission of an air contaminant that causes or is likely to cause detriment to health, safety, or welfare of any person or otherwise violate any other regulation or requirement. [OAR 340-208-0400] This condition is enforceable only by the State.

Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in any applicable requirement, any credible evidence may be used for the purpose of establishing whether a person has violated or is in violation of any such applicable requirements. [OAR 340-214-0120]

G7. Certification [OAR 340-214-0110, 340-218-0040(5), 340-218-0050(3)(c)(D), and 340-218-0080(2)]

Administrative amendments to this permit must be requested and granted in accordance with OAR 340-218-0150. The permittee must promptly submit an application for the following types of administrative amendments upon becoming aware of the need for one, but no later than 60 days of such event:

a. legal change of the registered name of the company with the Corporations Division of the State of Oregon, or

The permittee must submit an application for a minor permit modification in accordance with OAR 340-218-0170.

The permittee must submit an application for a significant permit modification in accordance with OAR 340-218-0180

Notwithstanding Conditions G16 and G17, the filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and re-issuance, or termination, or of a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition.

The permittee must obtain approval from DEQ prior to construction or modification of any stationary source or air pollution control equipment in accordance with OAR 340-210-0200 through OAR 340-210-0250.

The permittee may not begin construction of a major source or a major modification of any stationary source without having received an Air Contaminant Discharge Permit (ACDP) from DEQ and having satisfied the requirements of OAR 340, Division 224.

The need to halt or reduce activity will not be a defense. It will not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit.

The permittee must furnish to DEQ, within a reasonable time, any information that DEQ may request in writing to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit, or to determine compliance with the permit.

Plant Site Emission Limit (PSEL) Compliance Guidance

PSEL compliance method should be the same method used to estimate the emissions for purposes of establishing the PSEL. In some cases, a different method may be used if impossible to use the method used to estimate the emissions. Example: if road dust emissions are based on AP-42 emission factors relating particulate matter emissions to vehicle miles, it may be reasonable to develop a new factor based on other production or process to monitor compliance. Another example: Use of continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) not dependent upon production data for calculating emissions. Provided below is discussion of various methods for monitoring compliance with PSEL. [Permit writer refer to guidance for plant site emissions detail sheets provided with permit review report template.]

Emissions factors: When emission factors are used to estimate emissions from a source, the emissions factors can also be used to determine compliance with the PSEL. To be an enforceable, stand alone compliance method, the permit must include these elements:

▪ a requirement to monitor process or production parameters included in the emission factor on a short and long term basis; and

▪ an equation for calculating the emissions by emissions device, process, and activity.

This approach provides operating flexibility for a facility when there is plant wide PSEL for each pollutant. A production increase at one source can be offset by a production decrease at another source within facility to keep emissions below limit. A disadvantage is that the permittee will have to maintain records and be prepared to perform emission calculations on a real time basis to ensure compliance with the PSEL at all times. Note: When using emissions factors for compliance purposes, be clear in the permit that most emission factors are not by themselves enforceable limits because of the uncertainty associated with the emission factors. If new/better information is obtained showing an emission factor is in error, the PSEL should be adjusted accordingly along with re-evaluating compliance with all other regulatory requirements, such as PSD. In some cases, the emission factor may be an enforceable limit because it is the same as an emissions standard (e.g., the NSPS limit for cement kilns is 0.30 lb PM/ton of feed). In these cases, emission factor should be listed in the emissions standards section of the permit as well as the PSEL compliance section. Just because there is an emission rate limit, the PSEL does not have to be based on that limit. The limit would define the upper bound for the PSEL emission factor, but a lower factor more representative of the source’s operations may be used to establish the PSEL.

Production limits: In some cases, the PSEL is based on a single production parameter for entire facility. For these sources it may be sufficient to include a production limit in the permit for ensuring emissions do not exceed the PSEL at all times. If this method is used, the permit must include production limits for each emissions device or process on both a short term and annual basis. For simple sources, such as rock crushers, asphalt plants, and seed cleaning facilities this may be a good PSEL compliance method. For more complicated sources, production limits on individual sources within the facility may limit operational flexibility. It may be possible to include in the permit the option to demonstrate compliance by either a production limit or emissions calculation as discussed above.

Material balance: For VOC sources and sources that burn fuels containing sulfur, a material balance procedure may be developed for determining compliance with the PSEL. This approach assumes the mass of pollutants emitted from the process equals mass of pollutants entering the process. If some pollutant is not emitted because it is retained in the product or there is a control device, then a combination of a material balance procedure and emission factor calculation method may be developed, but this would not truly be a material balance procedure. For sources that a material balance method does work, the permit would include the following information:

▪ a requirement to monitor the type and amount of VOC containing material used during the reporting period;

▪ a requirement to monitor the VOC content of the material (usually as a percent obtained from a material safety data sheet or product technical document);

▪ a requirement to monitor any VOC containing materials that are recovered or disposed of some other manner; and

▪ an emissions calculation formula, including any necessary conversion factors if usage and VOC content are not in the same units (e.g., VOC usage is in gallons and VOC content is in percent by weight, then the formula for calculating emissions would have to include a density factor to convert gallons to mass.

Depending on facility, this can be an accurate method for determining emissions. It can also be complicated depending on how many different types of materials are used in the process.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS): There may be a requirement to monitor emissions with a CEMS (e.g., a PSD permit requires a CEMS to monitor compliance with a BACT concentration limit). If so, the CEMS should also be used to determine compliance with the PSEL. The permit must include general continuous monitoring requirements contained in the DEQ’s Continuous Monitoring Manual and any conversion factors or additional information needed to report mass emissions. Typically, a CEMS only measures pollutant concentrations, so there must be a procedure for measuring or estimating exhaust gas flow rates to calculate mass emissions using the concentration data. Example: a carbon monoxide (CO) monitor measures CO emissions in parts per million (ppm) so the permit must include a formula for calculating mass emissions. If it is a boiler, standard fuel factors from EPA Method 19 can be used to determine stack gas flow rates based on heat input and stack gas oxygen concentrations. Or, permit could include requirement to measure the flow rate using an anemometer or ultra-sound device.

jinahar, 2015-03-19T14:19:00Z
There may be some cases where a source asks for a GHG PSEL that is less than their PTE, for example to stay out of Title V. This would an exception to the rule and for those few sources the permit writers will want to consider not following this approach and instead require the full rolling 12-month reporting.
