(2) The owner or operator of an air contaminant source listed in subsection (2)(a) of this rule that is certified through a DEQ approved environmental certification program and subject to an Area Source NESHAP may register the source with DEQ pursuant to OAR 340-210-0110 through 340-210-0120 in lieu of obtaining a permit in accordance with OAR 340-216-0020, unless DEQ determines that the source has not complied with the requirements of the environmental certification program.

(a) The following air contaminant sources may be registered under this section:

(A) Motor vehicle surface coating operations.

(B) Dry cleaners using perchloroethylene.

(b) Approved environmental certification program. To be approved, the environmental certification program must, at a minimum, require certified air contaminant sources to comply with all applicable state and federal rules and regulations and require additional measures to increase environmental protection.

(c) Fees. In order to obtain and maintain registration, owners and operators of air contaminant sources registered pursuant to this section must pay the following annual fees by March 1 of each year:

(A) Motor vehicle surface coating operations -- $240.00.

(1) Approval to Construct:

(a) For Type 1 changes, the owner or operator may proceed with construction or modification 10 days after DEQ receives the notice required in OAR 340-210-0230, unless DEQ notifies the owner or operator in writing that the proposed construction or modification is not a Type 1 change.

(b) For Type 2 changes, the owner or operator may proceed with the construction or modification 60 days after DEQ receives the notice required in OAR 340-210-0230 or on the date that DEQ approves the proposed construction in writing, whichever is sooner.

(c) For Type 3 changes, the owner or operator must obtain either a Construction ACDP or a new or modified Standard ACDP in accordance with OAR chapter 340 division 216 before proceeding with the construction or modification.

(d) For Type 4 changes, the owner or operator must obtain a new or modified Standard ACDP before proceeding with the construction or modification.

[Note: In non-attainment areas and maintenance areas, Type 4 changes may be subject to OAR 340 division 224, New Source Review. In attainment areas, Type 4 changes may be subject to OAR 340-224-0070, Prevention of Significant Deterioration, only if the source would be a federal major source after making the change.]

(2) Approval to construct does not relieve the owner of the obligation of complying with applicable requirements.

(3) Notice of Completion. Unless otherwise specified in the construction ACDP or approval, the owner or operator must notify DEQ in writing that the construction or modification has been completed using a form furnished by DEQ. Unless otherwise specified, the notice is due 30 days after completing the construction or modification. The notice of completion must include the following:

(a) The date of completion of construction or modification; and

(b) The date the stationary source or air pollution control equipment was or will be put in operation.

(4) Order Prohibiting Construction or Modification. If at any time, DEQ determines that the proposed construction is not in accordance with applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and orders, DEQ will issue an order prohibiting the construction or modification. The order prohibiting construction or modification will be forwarded to the owner or operator by certified mail.

(5) Hearing. A person against whom an order prohibiting construction or modification is directed may demand a hearing within 20 days from the date of mailing the order. The demand must be in writing, state the grounds for hearing, and be mailed to the Director of DEQ. The hearing will be conducted pursuant to the applicable provisions in division 11 of this chapter.

(A) Approval to operate does not relieve the owner of the obligation of complying with applicable requirements that may include but are not limited to the general opacity standards in OAR 340-208-0110 and general particulate matter standards in OAR 340-226-0210 and OAR 340-228-0210.

(B) If required by DEQ as a condition of the approval to construct or at any other time in accordance with OAR 340-212-0120, the owner or operator must conduct testing or monitoring to verify compliance with applicable requirements. Testing of boilers must be performed in accordance with OAR 340-212-0140.

(C) The owner or operator must register the air contaminant source with DEQ if required as a condition of the approval to construct or at any other time in accordance with OAR 340-210-0100.

(b) For new sources that are required to obtain an ACDP in accordance with OAR 340-216-0020, the ACDP, which allows operation, is required before operating Type 1 or 2 changes.

(c) For sources currently operating under an ACDP, Type 1 and 2 changes may be operated without further approval unless the ACDP specifically prohibits the operation.

(d) For sources currently operating under an Oregon Title V Operating Permit, Type 1 and 2 changes may only be operated in accordance with OAR 340-218-0190(2).

(3) Type 3 and 4 changes:

(a) For new sources, Type 3 or 4 changes require a standard ACDP before operation of the changes.

(b) For sources currently operating under an ACDP, approval to operate Type 3 or 4 changes will require a new or modified standard ACDP. All ACDP terms and conditions remain in effect until the ACDP is modified.

(c) For sources currently operating under an Oregon Title V Operating Permit, approval to operate Type 3 or 4 changes must be in accordance with OAR 340-218-0190(2).
