A. This Section applies to changes made at a facility that has been granted coverage under a general permit. B. Facility Changes that Require New Authorization to Operate. The following changes at a source that has been granted coverage under a general permit shall be made only after the source requests new authorization to operate from the Director: 1. Adding new emissions units that require new authorization to operate, 2. Installing replacement emissions units that require authorization to operate. C. Facility Changes that Do Not Require Authorization to Operate. The following changes at a source that has been granted coverage under a general permit shall be made only after the source provides notification to the Department: 1. Adding new emissions units that do not require authorization to operate, 2. Installing a replacement emissions unit with a higher capacity that does not require authorization to operate, 3. Adding or replacing air pollution control equipment. D. A source that has been granted coverage under a general permit shall keep a record of any physical change or change in the method of operation that could affect emissions. The record shall include a description of the change and the date the change occurred. E. For sources that submit a request or notification under subsections (B) or (C), the applicant shall provide information identifying and describing the source, its processes, and operating conditions in sufficient detail to allow the Director to determine continued qualification for, and to assure compliance with, the general permit. The Director shall act on a request for new authority to operate under a general permit as expeditiously as possible. The source may operate under the terms of the applicable general permit during that time.
